GAME 1 REACTIONS: Lakers-Timberwolves, Knicks-Pistons, Nuggets-Clippers, Pacers-Bucks | NBA Playoffs

Jason reacts to day one of the NBA Playoffs and breaks down all four games. He starts with the Los Angeles Lakers loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves including Luka Doncic scoring at volume but LeBron James and Austin Reaves struggling + Anthony Edwards playing a spectacular playmaking game. Then he discusses the New York Knicks beating the Detroit Pistons behind a huge fourth quarter run from Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns over Cade Cunningham, the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic getting a huge overtime win against Kawhi Leonard and James Harden’s Los Angeles Clippers, and finally the Indiana Pacers dominating Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

    Ant literally drove past every player for the Lakers like they were standing still it looked way too easy

    If your advice is to put Schroder on brunson or think Thompson can stop him I advise you to go watch the tape. JB is essentially 5 games back off injury and a month off. Out of shape and having ankle issues. It would appear that they did a good job on him in the first half. Until you watch the tape and realize he missed about 7 automatic brunson shots but clearly out of rhythm and he was hampered by fear of injuring the ankle plus a few scares. Went in half got a breather changed shoes he felt more comfortable in and gave them an efficient 23 points. This could easily have been another 40 point brunson playoff game. 😂😂 the disrespect he gets is wild. He only is avg 23 in his playoff career. That's factoring in the Mavs where he saw limited mins. With the knicks in 3 playoff runs it's only 30. With a ridiculous string of avg almost 35 last year. Yeahh you can almost pencil him in for 35 to 40 at this point. With kat being solid and OG being a legit 3rd option Good luck with 35 25 25 and the x factor of bridges giving you random 15 to 30 all on solid experienced defense. With guys like Payne mcbride and shamet shooting along with a healthy mitch. 😂😂 draw up the Xs and Os and see what happens

    Lakers depend heavily on the refs. They are constantly foul baiting. They rely on 3 pt shooing way too much. Minn are terrific perimeter defenders. They're defensive while Lakers aren't. Its been proven let Luka get his but limit the role players and you can beat Luka/Lakers. Add Luka,Ar& LeBron are vey inactive defenders. The Lakers cannot afford to waste energy on defense nor getting in foul trouble. All 3 do what after not getting a call ? Complain. That disrupts any kind of flow. LeBron isn't a leader . He blames and flops around like a fish . It's hilarious. Meanwhile Wolves are working as a unit. Lakers are the biggest pretenders in the playoffs.

  6. @trainwrekka12

    Austin reeves is in hell, he has no positive matchup, NAW, Jaden, Ant, Donte and even Jaylen are all negative matchups

  8. @glovs4188

    The only defense the lakers could deploy is to pack the paint and let guys shoot wide open catch and shoot 3s.😂

  12. @ericw4377

    Somehow it seemed that everyone else was assuming the Lakers would be moving on to the next round, as if it was a foregone conclusion. Wolves have been playing high-level ball the entire latter part of the season.

  14. @DarkPhoenix10

    Why do you people keep talking about the bucks as if they’re the higher seed ? Stop with excuses oh they weren’t prepared just stop ! We beat them as a 6 seed last year injuries or not they are not as good as they seem just because they have a couple of so called super stars over the years we’ve had some amazing duos and trios they couldn’t get out of the 2nd round even if god wanted them too they don’t stand a chance against a well oiled battle tested team that’s embodied by togetherness I already knew the pacers would win this game but we’ll see what happens in the series I guarantee they sweep them or go 4-1

  15. @rishbademha

    Lakers focused too much on Ant and forgot the wolves has other weapons. Cost me my bet on his over, but it cost them more. Would be better for him to let him get his and play hero ball and not let others get hot

  17. @kwstaskakoudakis

    bro was talking 15 minutes for the lakers-wolves and forgot to mention that lebron had 19 pts 5 rebounds 3 assists with a plus minus -22 in 36 minutes.😅 shameless

  19. @Flip-qy5ms

    Homework. You may want to do it. The ass kicking wasn’t that everything went right for the Wolves. They did this without good performances from Randle and Gobert. You missed this by a mile like so many other national analysts.

  22. @trey_baker

    This guy really thinks the Nuggets defensive pressure is why the Clippers were sloppy and turning the ball over ? Almost all of the Clippers turnovers were unforced

    This guy might be the biggest casual. What’s he watching ? Smh

  23. @boahkeinplaney

    Brother, I think luka was the one that brought some intensity in the defensive end, trying to ball pressure und to ne physical

  25. @iamdebaby8152

    Lebron hasn't been the same since that injury. His 3 point shooting has fell off a cliff. Lebron has to be playoff lebron. 28 9 and 8 52% 38% and 77%. He has to average around those numbers

  27. @capitainebarbe4253

    Sure, Edwards improved his play making. And sure, TWolves shooting was amazing. Those things can swing. But, can we talk about Lebron ? Floping, awfull defense and driving 1v1… Lakers were so far in their close out, I don t how they can improve that part in days. It s about requiring a lot more of discipline and energy. Who is gonna be rock solid ? Gabe Vincent ? And…. That s it ?

  29. @JayDay32

    The Nuggets tonight looked very similar to how they have looked in the playoffs against the lakers the last 2 years. Close games but the nuggets always seem to have just enough to finish them off.

  33. @djg3608

    Thought your analysis of the Clippers game was really poor. Denver won by 2 points in a game that The Clippers had 20 Turnovers, Westbrook outscoring the Clippers bench himself, Denver at home & Kawhi having a pretty mediocre game. Again they won by 2 points. Clippers will beat them next game to take home court and finish it in 6
