who you picking for your team if you have SGA or Jokic? who adds more value?
The is a dumb take…the second youngest team in the NBA has to win it now! C'mon…Theatre at its best
Tweak the roster? This is their 2nd season in the playoffs.
That Indiana rebound is awesome, boy flew from top of the keyway 😮
Since when does presti play on the team? He needs to close? All this guy has done is put this franchise in a position. To either compete or acquire assets to eventually bring us back into contention. It’s not Sam’s fault
Nuggets win tonight and the Thunder are drizzling rain.
Everyone, myself included, underrates Haliburton. I think it’s the ugly jump shot that fools everyone. He’s a winner and a leader.
Canadians faulted at the ending
sa just can not give jokic credit. He turns a MVP conversation into a GM blame. How does a GM ‘close a deal’ on the court.
The only reason I want SGA to be MVP- so Canadians can rub it in Trump’s face. 😂😂
Mitchell really let bro sprint from the half court line for the put back dunk 😂 smh
If I am the coach of OKC, my only strategy is to avoid Jokic participate in any offend, for example let him pass the ball to Murray / Westbrook and trap him, don’t let him have ball again. The other guys could not dominate the offend, except Westbrook may explosion occasionally.
"On First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Jay Williams and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo debate…" How come the females never get named (mentioned, honored, promoted)?
Started when Embid won over Luka now pushing the narrative sga over jokic is crazy!!! Jokic is miles ahead of
STEPHEN A IS THE BIGGEST CLOWN IN TODAY/S MEDIA…
Love this clip. This is when Steven A is great. Talking like a reasonable, sensible professional. Jay so good on his return, unbiased sensible analysis vs early years doing this (awesome). Mr. Russo not being mad, fits right in and compliments the team. This is really, really good (great?) NBA analysis and journalism. Nobody talking over the other, respecting one another (at last for the first 10 min.). Good show guys!
T.Haliburton is not overrated, SGA is.
STEPHEN A please do not show up at MSG games this series!!! We’re undefeated when you stay home.
Pacers in 5
Neither of those teams got swept last year. IDK what he’s talking about
Championship roster ? Stephen A then where is the chip most of those players had to leave to learn how to win a title, KD and the suns & the Brooklyn experience clearly shows how having talented players on a roster doesn’t mean much if you don’t have a clear 1a de facto leader.
If Sam Presti was running a big-market team like the Lakers or Knicks with zero rings after 17 years, would he still have a job — or would fans have burned the building down by now?
Indy been lucky these past 2 postseasons. The Cavs would have dog walked the Pacers if they were healthy. No excuse for blowing those leads in 2 games but still.
YES OKC WILL BEAT NUGGETS
Umm no is 108 to 70
Is OKC in trouble??? 😂 score is 88 to 130 right now. Okc is fine
8:00 😭😭😭
