Memphis is not playing welll, OKC has nothing to play for and will probably rest players. This is not a tough schedule at all
I hope Clippers and Lakers meet in round 1. If Kawhi doesn't implode again Clippers sweep.
CLIPPERS ALL THE WAY BABY !!!
CLIPS # 1… TO THE FINALS.
Joker while is top 3 in averages, he's 2nd in total points, 2nd in total assists, 2nd in total rebounds, 2nd in total steals and 6th in total blocks and turnovers(eventhough he's not a athletic defensive player). Still SGA deserves mvp?, just because his team has the best winning record. Come on, SGA has jalen william(all star) and okc without SGA is still a playoff team while denver is second worst team without joker. So who is the real VALUABLE player here
This Molly is atrocious
Ladies you looking good.💯😎
Kawhi please stay healthy and prove Stephen a wrong bc dude really said “Kawhi is the Worst Superstar in this League” , yes we all know he can’t stay healthy but it ain’t FOREVER . You really just hyping Kawhi up this year and I think he looks ready and better than ever before since 2021 conference finals. Keep talking down on Klaws name 🔥
We put up with Molly because she doesn’t have that nasty narcissistic attitude that Joy Taylor has.
kawhi played like 65 games last year because he had to get them into the playoffs . kawhi let harden carry the clipps to the playoffs this year because statistically speaking harden never missed the playoffs and kawhi took the whole year off to recover. ill b very surprised if kawhi gets hurt this year
Bron is just unreliable during critical moments, like 90% of the time.
Stephen A extra salty – Max Kel still living in his head rent free
I still believe in the Lakers more than clippers
They always talk about Luka's lack of defense .. .Bron literally gave the ball to the Bulls…and let them win the game
Molly aging fast
SAS is right until Kawhi's Clippers prove themselves, no arguments
When kawhi is healthy clippers has a chance i dont care what they say kawhi is a champion
Remember when kawhi was limping in the 2019 finals? Yeah i still believe this kawhi can still win he will give juice out on it
Have there ever been anyone that have gotten the type of a chance that Josh Giddey got, after having a story like he had, just asking a question, don’t get emotional, cause I’m trying to understand.
Some words cannot say in the comment session, but the word to describe Steven A. We know it all. This guy is making a lot of money because if the basketball players but he has no respect for the players. Shame on him
I noticed when LeBron hit the game winner against Indy all media outlets were reporting it but when he sellout media outlets don’t report it lol
If Kawhi’s healthy right now, why not appreciate his game and the fact he’s still doing it despite all his injuries? SAS acts like this isn’t a 2 time champion.
Molly acting like she in high school
“Perk owes me couple of dinners anyway, just add it to the list”, Perk will soon be paying for SAS family reunion dinner number of times he was wrong. 😂😂😂
But in all seriousness, I can’t say I am saying this, but I agree that the Clippers can go further in the playoffs than the Lakers.
Y'all talking about kawhi y'all need to talk about james harden. Who the last 3 postseason has played terrible. Can you trust him to show cuz if kawhi is healthy we know he'll show up.
I love this first take intro wow
The western conference playoffs are like a game of rocks paper and scissors.
D reason kawhi always fakimg his injury evry yr..
When lebron is loosing in d playoffs kawhi wud fake injury ..
Kawhi is scared of lebron and d organization of LA 😄
So lebron must continue to win till WCF so does kawhi 😄
Kawhi scenario on faking injury ..
B4 d playoffs or widin d playoffs
And dis can added 2 also .. Harden wud fake injury or dis 2 cant shoot d ball
If lebrons team is loosing again to d playoffs 😂
Its getting worse and worse and eventually I will stop watching and try to find another source
Nope stay on that side🤫 talk bad about the lakers doubt them but I promise y’all when y’all see us in June please don’t cheer for us or say anything about us winning it keep this same energy please
I hate these mf yall wanna jump on the bandwagon now stay over there. Kawhi let’s eat
Giddey told ya'll he ain't playing with these kids. Grown man status
Monica McNut is a terrible guest on this show…or any show on this network
Bogi kapitenu 🇷🇸
I’m cool on the Boosie fade chick
I am blocking espn for their hatred against lakers
Clippers aren’t top 5 in the conference 😂
SAS got that F**k U money now😂 he's untouchable he can say whatever he wants Molly is fair game
Stephen you trash for using the dead to make an wrongful accusation and call someone a liar
Sometimes I wish Molly would just sit there and be fine and not speak
hardens incredible inefficiency is why the clippers will go nowhere, but kawhi playing like himself so that alone should make us fans of other teams nervous 😂 and norman powell is close in efficiency to kawhi, they definitely scary i just hate how overrated harden is sometimes man, he has great games and he’s a good player. if he’s efficient and ain’t turning the ball over like crazy they could win the chip
