Jimmy is less likely to cost the Warriors a game than Draymond is.
Bullsh*t ! Warriors isn't going to win a chip AT LEAST NOT THIS YEAR AND NOT WITH THAT F*CKING DIVA BUTLER FOR SURE
Warriors!!!!!!
Same dude that said Jimmy Butler wouldn’t change anything.
Trade Molly off the show!!!
They just need a superstar and go from tgere
You guys always pick out who u like 😂it’s a team sport all of those guys out there count towards that title
this is possibly SAS worst most asinine take of all time. Gsw got booted outta the playins n first round with steph n dray, look at their record before Jimmy arrived. Without Jimmy they wouldnt even have made the playins. Without question Jimmy is more important for their title run by far.
didn't SAS say this trade didn't move the needle at all?
Yall gotta stop with the draymond slander, everybody can’t be a 20 point scorer on a team, he is the ultimate example of being great at with you do in your roll on a TEAM. They need him to rebound, set screens and play defense the bulls wouldn’t have won titles without Rodman the same way the warriors don’t win titles without draymond
If we get classic Playoff Jimmy, Warriors are winning the chip.
Monica McNutt's commentary is useless imo
PAT NEEDS 2 RETIRE
I call for SAS to shut up
Petty Patsy Pat needs to leave.
Would the suns even want Jalen green? I think it would have to be a 3 team trade
“The guy with the silver hair” is crazy work 🤣
What is SAS talking about. The team couldn't make the playoffs with Draymando, how can he be more important than Butler?
Jalen Green scoring single digits again is wild
I don’t get Monica’s expressions she’s so cringe like she can’t be wrong like fuc outta here stick to wnba
Draymond is a really smart player too. Not talked about enough imo
Molly cant help but be annoying
If Michael B. Jordan was a female it would be Monica McNutt.
What Heat players did last night should be investigated and punished. They stole money from their fans. The last thing they can do is return fans their money.
You’re saying fire Pat Riley because he didn’t wanna pay Jimmy when they weren’t going anywhere with him anyway? SAS with another all time clown take.
KD to Houston would be trouble. Green for KD is easy. But …..
GS was like, hey Pat, u dont want to pay the player that carried you the past 5 years, we will. Thx in advance!😂
I want Curry to win one more at least.
lol molly said don't associate my name with mediocrity
Stephen said the Jimmy move didn’t move him.
Bad topics, talk about the games
Stephen A has already a replacement for Pat.
JIMMY BUTLAH!!! 🦷 🦷 🦷 🦷
Who is Stephen A to tell Pat Riley to step down. See this is when he loses me. You’re an analyst not a team runner.
And the heat fan idiots talking bout “Heat culture” acting like team culture ain’t created by the players. For the 1000th time, team culture is a myth and a falsehood. There’s a reason why the “Great teams fall apart” when the superstar leaves. The Celtics were garbage after Bird left, the Bulls are still garbage after Jordan retired, yall think the Warriors gonna be any good without Curry? Yall don’t believe me? Tyler Herro said it himself.
Tyler Herro after game 3 against the Cavs: “Obviously, I know I need Jimmy to win. If we had Jimmy right now, I feel like it’d be a completely different situation. We probably wouldn't even be the eighth seed."
But I’m sure “Heat culture” gonna save yall😂😂😂😂😂🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵
Look at Miami….. ITS JIMMY!!!!
WARRRRIOORRRRRSSSS!!!!
Everybody say warriors! Warrrrriorrrrrsss!!!
Maybe today’s players are spoiled and a bunch of babies.
Should have E40 on the show
I think it's really crazy. I spent all this time talking about what that he can fix as opposed to what we just did as a team and franchise typical
Get Mistah Fab on the show
Get Too Short on the show
Buddy is like the pesky lil bro to Jimmy…to the whole team..but Jimmy especially. Then GP2 does same to Steph😅
lol nobody listening to Monica all she does is hate on the warriors 😂😂
Jimmy Buckets at the bulls was letting them 3’s go seems like since he went to Miami he don’t shoot it like that no more
Maybe. Juuusssttt maybe. The Cavs deserve more credit for that belt to 🍑. They have been destroying teams all year. Heat have an all Star,an Olympian, hof gm and coach. Cavs proved they are real more than heat culture is destroyed.
It’s draymond lol if you take draymond off the team they have no chance, I give you that Jimmy gives the warriors something draymond can’t on offense. Maybe the answer is both tho
