everyone saying the warriors will win just means the opposite
I lowkey want the warriors to lose and win the 8th seed
❤Yes when WNBA start I hope you had this much content for them😂
Why they call every young player a superstar! Like what they don’t even have a playoff resume to even be considered that level
If ja wins. Then lakers finna win
Rui
lebron shouldve suplexed this piece of garbage
Warriors are a better team with the best player!! Jokic 1 Ring. Shai zero Ring. Lika zero Ring. Giannis 1 Ring. Steph going on 5th Ring!!!! Tatum 1 ring.
Size matters 😂
Ja Doesn’t care about that superstar stuff smh
The other male analyst (not SA) thinks warriors can still beat the thunder in a series after losing to the clippers, and if they lose to the grizz? That math don’t add up.
Lol cutting out Marcus Morris saying "YNs" is hilarious 😂😂😂
Ja and grizzlies are more at stake
11:15 marcus on hime
Yo anybody else notices when chiney would move her eyebrows her forehead would change color 😅
yeah right…protecting black players like always…Ja Morant, besides Embiid and Zion is the biggest dissapointment among potential stars…NBA would be much more popular if this 3 would have normal brains….Ja is living in some different universe thinking he is a gangster, Zion ate everything that New Orleans menu has to offer and Embiid is just stupid…they are a dissapointment and embarrassement to the league…Ja has been in the league for 6 years and he has not achieved anything…this is the game that even if they lose he has to play his like a superstar…the only thing he achieved are some higlight plays and some knowledge about guns, grenades etc….He had a solid squad around him and didnt do anything, meanwhile Luka carried below average Mavs to the conference finals, same goes for Trae Young…as far as I am concerned Ja is not even in the same league as Trae….Jordan said it the best…too much money they are paying on potential…they had to earned it back in the days…
I can see Draymond doing his signature Westbrook impersonation tonight…😂😂😂
I love stephen A😂 85% of his arguments are good
"You gotta win the play-in"😂😂😂
Ja is not a superstar hes not even the best player on his team
Chiney is so lovely.
There is a case to make that Memphis' interim coach is playing for the permanent coaching job depending on how the Grizzlies perform.
Ja Morant is a joke of a human. Wont be long for his next NBA screwup and then blame every one else
Ja is not a superstar.
Stupid more pressure idiotic talking points. There is obviously equal pressure on both teams. They are in the exact same situation. In other thinking is frankly stupid
Chiney is soooo phuckin fine bruh 😩
Superstar is thrown out way too much. Ja Morant is a star but not a super star. I would say an MVP and a championship is needed. Steph, Lebron, Jokic, KD, Giannis all earned a higher title by accomplishing both
Stephen A be saying a whole bunch of nothing
“He has to remind us that he’s a superstar”
Uhhh doesn’t that imply that he is already a superstar and you just don’t want to acknowledge it for this topic?
You mentioned dray being the first small ball center. I’d argue it was magic after Kareem got hurt.
the fact people think draymond makes the warriors better because of his defense. then why were they out of the playoffs before "playoff jimmy" showed up? after they lose all these, they definitely need to get rid of draymond.
Warriors is better off with rockets as their first round rather than the lakers. Last time they played the lakers in a playoff situation, they lost.
Knicks in ✋🏾
Nobody cares 😂 LAKERS IN 5!!
Dubs will lose. Scrape past Sac. Then have to play OKC…. They love putting themselves in the worst possible situations 😪
Jaren Jackson Jr will be the best player on the floor tonight. Not Ja, not Curry, and not Jimmy Butler.
For real they need to calm down. His celebrations are epic (Ja) 🔥🔥🔥💯
Ja is NOT a superstar lmao. the media throw that word around too loosely
Facts Stephen A I agree. Not taking anything from Draymond, he is ALL World Elite; but that miss Layup Got me 🤦🏾♂️
If the Grizzlies don’t even make the playoffs, I think someone is getting traded. Maybe not Ja but someone
