why is everyone saying austin reeves is jordan now ? he is overrated
BEN SIMMONS , "We Got This LEBRON " .
This Jason guy is really good. Heβs got a bit of recency biased though.
I canβt trust James Harden in the playoffs so is Russell Westbrook π
Denver should of never traded KCP..defensive nightmare and clutch on offense
Taken Luka over Ant π and Reaves over Gobert lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooo! Wolves in 6!
Jokic has got the soft hands… That's it!!
Bro, why is Jason not one of the top talking heads on Fox or ESPN right now? Is it a crime to ACTUALLY know what you're talking about?
Playoff Luka is Deadly
Luka man handle the wolves Last. year he knows how to play against them he knows how to break them down he is unbelievable.
Crazy two Lakers homers think all the Lakers are unstoppable lol. Last year both of these guys thought Ant was better than Luka and the Timberwolves were better than the Mavs. This is comical π€‘ π©
Minnesota, Sarasota, North Dakota Lakers in ππΏ
I really really don't understand why people consider Ty Lue to be great coach. His one title was Lebron James's work: the team was bad whenever Lebron wasn't on the floor, which is clearly the coach's fault. And what has he done since then to be held in such high regard?
"Let's be honest", on tylue being good to win a game????? What, you're saying or suggesting coaching doesn't matter?????
Bro I thought this was Nick wright ππ
As a Lakers fan, I want ZU to establish himself in this series. Mike frickin Muscala, we will never forget, Magic
Jason donβt know basketball to save his life let me guess Lakers need Maxi Klebler how the Mavs did last year or they not going far πππ he such a π€‘ get someone on here that really knows π
Jason on Cowerd?! Nice!
When i heard the word scratch suddenly I remembered Alan Wake, Jason, you look like him lolπππ
Anyone but them. Please.
Best offensive player hes ever seen….ok I'm out. βοΈ
wish i could bet these fools wolves in 5
Donte divicenso is a new york knick dude
He is not twolves 3rd option
Antman Batman Superman Lakers in 5

Which team do you think will win the series?
As you can guess from this exercise, Team A is the Lakers and Team B is the Timberwolves. As great as Luka and LeBron are, the better team at this point is Minnesota.
Wolves in 6.
So cowherd picked the nuggets and the clippers π€―
They just need to show up, and let the referees do all the work…true fact.
The Lakers are the Patriots…whoops I mean Chiefs of the NBA…
Wolves in 6 dummies
Lakers done in first round.
Jokic best offensive player ever? Hyperbole.
18:45 YO, PAUSE βΈοΈ That's WILD
This is how you know most of these media people never play basketball because even the real ex NBA guys that plays saying this going to be a tough series

I feel like the media is walking the Lakers right into a trap. Everytime they do this Jinxing shit the team theyβre all expecting to win favorably the team ends up losing. Respect the Timberwolves they match up REALLY well with the Lakers.
What colin said about jokic body and style is true. I also think its why some other guys have advantages.
I think Lukaβs body, style and pace are a big reason he is so successful. Theres just not a lot of guys like him.
I also think this is true for Cade cunningham. He plays a really unique style of ball and i donβt know if anyone really compares to him.
No matter who wins the Lakers vs Wolves series is going to get throttled by OKC.
Jason please stop saying off the reservation π
This aged well lol keep doubting the wolves! Letβs go howl
Lmaoooooooooo T WOLFS in 5 you GOOFS !!!!!
Iβm enjoying watching this again after the Timberwolves just blew the doors off the Lakers in Game 1. πππ. Behold such bad βanalysisβ!
Who's here after game 1?ππ»
This dude jason gonnna have nothing to talk about when lakers lose this series π
This aged well.. π
