  1. What Wildes is saying is: "Holding the oppositions best players to statistical bad games are NOT an outlier for the Rockets."

    They held LeBron, Luka, and Reaves to 20 pts or less (while they had the Laker whistle).

    Held SGA to 22 pts, only shot 2 freethrows.

    Held Curry to 3 pts and Jimmy to 9 (last 4 pts were made in garbage time).

  2. Can’t wait for the playoffs so the lakers get exposed

    Almost every segment on every show is talking about them

  3. I'm calling Kevin Wildes' falling off right now if he keeps up the lazy, hot take persona. There is a reason Skip is out man. The flip flops and hate on random players and pretending it ain't personal got weird.

  4. Brou brings historical perspective and contextualization, Nick brings the ultra intelligent interesting takes and Wildes brings sober balance with his whimsical perspective on basically all sports. Love this show!

  5. Why hasn’t there been a king of the hill lately since Jokic has been averaging 40 coming off his injury

  6. Chris ruining his stock, being so moved with these lakers picks because he next to nick

  7. wilds seriously needs to have his mic muted during basketball segments, dude is absolutely clueless unironically

  8. This Clippers team is the best overall around and they have the best chemistry. PG was the thing holding them back

  9. Thunder should punt on Tuesday game, They should be scared of Lakers dropping to 4/5 spot and having to play them in the 2nd round

  10. We are finally gonna get the battle of LA'S finest in the playoffs smh. We've been waiting since 2019
    Clippers vs Lakers

  11. Hahaha clips takes from 2018 are so funny now. “Lebron went to La for acting. Kawhi owns La and the league. Kawhi is going to be a top 5 player ever”. Just hilarious years later

  12. Okc has to lock up LeBron and reaves and just let Luka beat them no other option the spread for this game is already 15 so they are sitting bron or Luka

  13. OKC has an 82% win rate during the regular season. They only have to win 57% of their playoff games to win a playoff series. Now, while I don't exactly buy into their logic that the playoffs are so different a monster that what works during the regular season doesn't work during the playoffs, I really don't buy that OKC is going to have so significant a drop-off that they go from a borderline record breaking season with an MVP calibur player leading them on both ends to failing when they don't even have to be as good and what I really don't buy is that the Lakers, a team that's barely (if at all) better than the next 5 teams in the conference are going to be the ones who win it all, especially when their best player is 40 and it's second best player can't stop a nose bleed.

  14. Lakers beat the rockets by 4 on a second night of a back to back while gabe Vincent and Dorian finney smith had outlier shooting nights. Rockets in 5

  15. Wtf are you talking about Nick? The Thunder literally just slowed down Luka last year. They held him well below average, he was seeing Dort in his nightmares. The others came through for the Mavs.

  16. Get RID of WILDS asap!!! He’s the worst part of the show and he’s truly not even funny. Get rid of that 🤡!!!
