when bron gets going early the lakers do better. WHen luka gets going it messes them up because luka is an iso master and its like every gets rusty just watching him cook people. Its like a mental thing for them, they see the old man going off they get motivated like okay lets get it.
What are they watching Lakers are not winning that series
I love how they dont mention how asf LeBron played
Julius Randle played great defense on Lebron. Stop making excuses for him and give those guys their credit
Having the Lakers winning the West with 2 of the worst defenders in the NBA (Luka & Lebron) makes me question your knowledge of sports. And these guys get paid to be on tv and give their opinion
Wolves played defense how the celtics did in the finals. Let Luka get his 35-40 and no assists, dont let him get everyone involved. Its the blueprint to beat luka in a 7 game series

Sengun, typhoon, Katy Perry on the moon, warriors in ✋🏻
Poor Grizzlies 😢
Not only are they undersized like the GSW who have Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. They’re also undersized with a 40 year old and Luka on defense covering the three’s and the paint. 😅 On another note how about passing the ball around vs bouncing the air out of it. Looked like Dallas vs Boston all over again. Team Players vs. Turn Takers.
1st all if you all watched the game lakers are collapsing because luka and reeves was getting exposed,they were getting targeted specially luka and you cant be a good defensive team if you have luka and reeves playing together because bron at this age is a better defender than those 2 combined 😂😂
Wildes is right
Anthony Edwards is my favorite player….but this series just started. Lakers win game 2. This series is going to game 6 or 7
If lakers lose series we know who they wont blame
The whole "carrying water for klutch sports" is stale af
skip to 15:21 for the good stuff
lebron sucks:
he's hurt, he's feeling it out…..
its never he just played poorly lol
Nick is a stuttering Stanley when trying to cover up his bad predictions lol
“Luka was at his peak” yeah getting blown by every single play
Brou: “ This was to be expected…BY NOBODY!!!”
So a bunch of stars shoot poorly and play poorly in game 1. All of it is okay, but Tatum gets dragged?? He had 14 rebounds and 0 turnovers. These guys are such jokes.
Lakers best defender was reeves somehow. Lolololol
LeBron is 40 what do you expect from him? Mj didn’t do anything for the wizards at that age. Call a spade a spade
I don’t think the wolves are going to shoot that well for the rest of the series. Lakers were taking too many threes. Drive the ball and get to the line.
Nick is just a fan boy , Bron 40 will win 2 games Luka 2 games , gsw can't beat Houston but ant man better than anyone on Houston and Lakers lol
I know Nick is biased to Lakers, but these are very fair takes.
this is why I think this show is the best compared to the other guys. none of those obvious stupid takes that are meant to generate clicks rather just a genuine discussion of the sport. there may be bias here and there seeping in sometimes, but the intent to make it as fair as possible is very clear.
Every laker fanatic says “the wolves shot 21/42 that won’t happen again”
Doesn’t need to. We won by 22.
Lakers could have shot 21/41 from deep and still lost
Or conversely, Minnesota could have shot 14/42 from deep, and they still would have won.
Lakers are toast.
They can’t rebound.
They don’t pass.
They can’t hold onto the ball.
They can’t defend.
They can’t run.
They can’t play.
Wolves since the Luka trade on Feb 2:
Top 5 in win percentage
Top 5 in points
Top 5 in plus/minus
Lakers are well below them in every other stat too except three point percentage. And as we ll saw, Minnesota can shoot.
See you next year, Luka. 😂
Wolves in 5.
Sweep if the refs are fair.
L😂ka peaked last year.
I expected a full narrative swap tuning into this clown show. Looks like it will take another spanking.
Wildes is hilarious 😆 😂
MN played better. LA is NOT “the better team”. Just stop.
Nick and Brou are talking up the unrealistic realism.
Major pause on brou
