First 🎉😅
First!
Speaking goof to power.
The Guys!!!
While I respect the logic of Rob's 76ers take… I feel like there's a fairly proven track record of the basketball gods smiting Philly for rolling over disgustingly.
I love that Ponzi P quit his podcast for the stretch tank run.
…And Maxey now is hurt…
I’m in Okinawa and I look forward to listening to you guys every week. Great chemistry!
no way are the suns no.1 just because they don't have that pure aura of misery but they at least deserve an honorable mention because of how many of their damn picks theyve managed to throw away
Look these guys make takes, they will never be perfect, I enjoy the show. That part is nice.
Embiid for Vooch PWillie and Zach Collins???
PLEASE KEEP TAKING THE BULLS ORGANIZATION TO THE WOODSHED!
Mavs instantly jumper a up a mile w Kyries injury. Sixers maifeszed their lead w Maxeys.
Get well soon to both, imo its 50/50 if Kyries next jersey is a mavs or a Rockets one
Flipowski plays well with veterans is CRAZY 😭😭
Grading these rankings: rare Verrier W rare Rob L common Woz L 😂
Houston get ja
Grizz get kd
Suns get their picks back and players
40:38 unbelievable, all time great voice cracking from wos…next level😅
How can phoenix not be on the list but Brooklyn is number one?
Justin talking about Brooklyn like he’s never spoken to someone from the area.
What evidence is there that Devin Booker is a top 15 (or top 12) player in the league? I've never been convinced by that guy. And, before people say the 21-22 Suns, I'm not even convinced he was better than 36 year-old CP3 that year.
76ers had 7 consecutive winning seasons before this year. They had an impact rookie this year, and could easily have another one next year to pair with Embiid, Maxey and PG. Its been a horrible season for them but they CLEARLY have a much brighter future ahead of them than perennial lottery teams like the Hornets and Wizards 😂
1:01:57 “Spencer diddy”
Wosny is unbelievably insufferable
The blind spot with your rockets Booker trade analysis is that the rockets have most of the suns picks. So like green, whitmore their picks back etc is a very plausible package
Conveniently forgot about Jared McCain.
Was their future even that bright with Embiid and George healthy? Guess what, they were at best a second round exit.
You’d have to be fucking insane to think Booker could get Amen Thompson or even Jalen Williams in return lol
18:00. Scoot went 0-4 on threes, lol
