Garland out here looking like MPJ brother yesterday
Good effort by depleted Warriors (except Q3), but hard to win 5 v. 8.
Darius Garland so clutch! 😳😱
Idk why warriors don’t get a stretch big. Curry constantly gets the team in a 4 on 3 situation and they constantly fail to capitalize. Every big that sets a screen for curry will get wide open shots on a pick and pop. It’s usually looney or trayce, but they can’t shoot and make the defense pay.
He had 14 points. 18 points the game before and plenty of other stinkers this year. He cant lead a championship team at this point unless he has his 2017 team again
Stop talking about the warriors so much. They aren’t good (am I doing this right)
Tragic to see the Warriors' front office wasting Steph's remaining years by not giving him the support he needs in the name of saving the "future" or holding their assets to trade for Giannis. So disappointing. Seems like there are so many deals they could have done after that '22 championship that would have turned things around. All we want as fans is to see Steph playing playoff basketball again.
Not one ☝️ comment on the effort of the clippers B team almost beating the Celtics. Your bias is applauding. I’ve never liked commented or subscribed. Thank god.
Cavs play some bad lineups they just shoot and move the ball well don’t matter sometimes
You never reacted to Cavs OKC pt 2
Shai drops 54 and it barely gets a mention 😂 this the mvp of the league, if it was Luka, steph, ja or ant this would be a full video
Can’t wait for lakers- Celtics reaction
Kerr has to go also…his voice is not making a difference anymore
Remember when gs was winning all them games early in the szn and Steph said that they was the deepest team he’s ever been on, and Jason was talking bout how good they were lmao, now they fringe NBA players lmao
Warriors bottom of the league lakers a joke. Jason stuck on those teams. It’s pathetic moving on to legit shows
Why is he still making videos about the Warriors? 😂
🚨🚨MAILBAG🚨🚨: Jason, love the show man! Lakers related trade question: I’m with you that Plan A should be Kessler + Sexton + Bruce Brown, but I was listening to Pete and Darius on LFR and they made a compelling case for Vucevic. He can space the floor like Rui but he’s much better rebounder. Offensively, he can operate in the post or elbow, run PnR with AR and Bron, play alongside AD in a Marc Gasol type role or be an innings eater when AD sits. On the other end, AD, DFS, Vando, and an engaged Bron can help him defensively. What are your thoughts on Lakers flipping Rui for Vuc? Keep up the great work.
PS I played club ball at UVA and "guarded" Malcom Brogdon in HS. He torched us mercilessly. He’s had a solid career but his limitations put into perspective how insanely difficult and talented the NBA really is.
Hey Jason, the Cavs might decide to blow it up in two weeks and the Warriors can trade for Mitchell or Garland then, what do you think? 😏🤣🤣 Disclaimer: Being ironic of course. I didn't even think to comment on this one, figured Jason would be down because of the Warriors' game, so I'll pass. But then I watched what he had to say about that game. His bias towards the Warriors is hilarious at this point and could only be treated as such. So let's see if the Suns, Celtics or Cavs blow it up and if KD, Tatum or Mitchell end up in GSW, the most serious team in all of the NBA EVER. 🤣🤣🤣
Shai and Brunson r really hard to appreciate with their foul baiting. Great great players but that aspect of their game is highly frustrating.
Jason, appreciate your work
Mailbag: Donovan Mitchell is shooting 39.8% on >16ft two pointers. Career low and way below his career 43.4%. He’s also shooting a career low 56.9% at the rim. He’s shot 70% each of the last 3 seasons.
Why do you think this is? This is super concerning for their ceiling imo if he doesn’t turn a corner at some point this season
It's not only because those old stars are old, it's also because they are old but still get that much money as they were young, so the rest of the team can't build the rest of the team as easy as before
Jason can you please stop talking about the Lakers, they’re not even goo- wait a second…
MAILBAG: wsp jason? b4 this szn you made a ton of predictions abt the upcoming szn. ofc you cant get them all right and i dont expect to agree with all of your takes either. but there were 3 predictions you made i felt strongly that you were wrong abt:
1. top 5 ant
2. kat left off ytop 25 (i thought he was in the 17-22 range)
3. rockets left off top 20. teams
my question is have you learned anything from those 3 situations that makes you want to update your basketball worldview ?
Is this guy the john middlekauf of NBA podcasts? Lol
