@32:04 NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
Those dudes MJ played couldn’t move their feet. MJ saw Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, and AI then decided to QUIT.
He saw LeBron, Melo, and Wade on the 2003 draft boards and decided to QUIT again.
11:51 dawg is Colin gonna keep doing this? Wolves in 5-6. We have 3 outta the top 5 and Ant is 1. Did this other dude seriously say he’s taking Austin Reaves over Jaden???? oh, he never guarded Luka in the WCF, Kyle Anderson did. Wolves in 5 maybe 6.
Jason, my brother in Christ, invest in better lighting and cameras, you look like Dracula bro
I coulda swore Jason is a warriors fan 😂😭
Curry was like 25 5 and 5 in his first finals and poole definitely worked in gsw. Other than a few other things this was a really good episode.
this guys will eat their words when clips vs denver starts ..ooh i cant wait..theses guys are under Lebrons payroll..obviously
Jokic not going to win u a series himself like that’s literally their only excuse for them
Colin maybe u can say how the refs manipulating the game
Poole had a bad finals, but he was arguably the second best player on the team the rest of the playoffs
Colins picking the lakers? I feel pretty good about the wolves now.
Did the Lakers ever look like they had problems? Well, they obviously just weren't trying then, haha!
Colin was a little insufferable in this one haha. Love Jason though, always very thoughtful in how he breaks down the game.
Curry is the best shooter in the series but not best player sorry.
Houston 2nd seed so I don’t know why picking them is considered an “UPSET”
KOKIC is THE MVP……. PERIOD…….
JOKIC IS THE MVP…….PERIOD…….
These guys clearly haven’t watched the Wolves at all this season. Lmao, national media only watches big market teams
Jordan Poole WAS good with the Warriors. Once Draymond socked him and the team paid him but didn't side with and other teams started scouting him he became less effective, understandably I will say but the past is the past.
Listening to this Laker propaganda is starting to get to me. I think I might even buy a jersey!
Kerr is 🗑️
Nice of Henry Cavill to speak with Colin today
What do you mean Poole did not work on the offense. He literally was the reason they won.
Lakers struggle against 3 point shooting? The Wolves are a top three 3 point shooting team.. That seemed like backward logic
Jokic is dangerous
Can't wait till the Timberwolves blow the Lakers out. I don't think you guys have been watching the Timberwolves all season
Bro Poole was the perfect fit for this team, when Curry is off he carried the scoring. Until he got punched in the face and the franchise picked the punchers side instead of the punchee
Daming alsm
Amp
Everyone pick against Collin. You will win big money guaranteed
Jason also picked the Suns to walk all over the Wolves last year, and then proceeded to pick the Nuggets to walk all over them. Cannot wait to come back to this when Lakers have not secured it in 5 and Wolves win the series. Lets go Wolves!!!!
Wolves in 5. 🐺
I love Luka being a Mavs fan for over 2 decades, so Im rooting for him, but stop saying the Wolves cant win because thats not true. The Wolves are a huge threat and they can very well win this series. Stop underselling
T wolves got more offense than just some prayer performances than Ant
If there’s a real playoff whistle and not a million free throws for the lakers Austin reeves is going to be in hell
I can tell you guys have never watched a Twolves game. Keep riding the Lakers you'll see!
Of course you guys are gonna pick the LAKERS every series 😂😂😂 SMH 😑 EVERY YEAR YOU SELL US THIS ! Now you undersell OKC and Denver smh
You guys forgot the warriors have won 4 rings as an undersized team every time?? Plus we have looney
no childish beefs, no pathetic gang affiliation, no petty allegations, just pure sports talk. its few ppl like you out here colin. keep up the good work
I'm not going to allow you guys to talk about K.We know that it's about money.K average against HR is 21 ppg.K was balling before contract discussion started. Afterwards now he can't fit the system.They done the same thing to the Jackson kid.He was good while people were trying to get healthy.Its about money stop hurting his stock in the NBA.
Can’t wait for the N Bleh A playoffs
Rockets in 6
