Jason reacts to three games from Monday’s NBA slate, Giannis Antetokounmpo hitting an epic buzzer-beater to lift the Milwaukee Bucks to a win over the Indiana Pacers, Kevin Durant leading the Houston Rockets to a win against the Dallas Mavericks, and JJ Redick leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a win over the Portland Trail Blazers without LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves.

Please put timestamps it’s not that hard
Jason reminds me of the dude Mr Ballen the story teller 😂
Lakers are a PROBLEM 💜💛
Giannis been the best player since LeBron got old
Really appreciate you giving the Bucks their flowers . Most national media wrote off the team before the season started .
W!!!! 9 minutes of genuinely positive commentary on the Milwaukee bucks and due credit to the Greek Freak without undermining him by following up his praise with unnecessary comparisons.
Jason passed the test today.
Glazing the Bucks needing a buzzer beater to beat the Nobelsville boom.😂😂 and no Mention of Siakam carrying them on his back going stride for stride with Giannis. Embarrasing.
MAILBAG: would 2024 dallas mavs beat 2022 golden state warriors
Rockets getting mebounds 😂 very important in muddy games. Love what I’m seeing from them shepherd and amen learning playmaking on the fly
I might not ever get over Jason ranking the sad ass Blazers the 7th best team in the league cause they won 4 games over a 2 week span. Then the Blazers immediately give up 80 points to three role players when their defense is their calling card. You can't make this up.
I am not like a delusional Warrior fan who thinks every year is theirs and steph is still the best player LOL , my lakers are good but they have to prove against tougher teams once lebron return we will have the real test in our hands , whether we sustain this great run against tough teams like OKC and denver
He's a freak..the Greek Freak from Olympus.
He got his "revenge", "Revenge" is always eaten cold by Giannis for last year's challenge by Father Halliburton inside the Indiana stadium.
Well done Giannis
Well done Milwaukee Bucks
🚀🚀🚀
JJ's referencing of the "last 7 games" isnt at all an attempt to pretend that game against GS didnt exist, thats just him reconizing that game was really bad in a lot of aspects his coaching staff has been preaching, playing hard and so on
Doc has to play Sims more because at this stage of his career Portis is a human turnstile at this point of his career. He scores 15 and gives up 24 net loss. And he doesn't rebound as wel anymorel
This nba season feels peak I can’t explain it I love this rookie class the og’s feel like they have a chance to win the atmosphere is back
Can anyone explain why Ime keeps on insisting on the zone
Love seeing Bucks positivity man, It's rare but honestly the front office has done a good job with what they've had to work with. I think pivoting from Dame to Turner was a really good floor raising move, I have my concerns but I can't wait to see Giannis healthy in the playoffs again!
ROCKETS ARE HERE!!!
Last year, Milwaukee’s 5th win put them at 5-9, this year they are 5-2. Through 7 games the Bucks were 1-6 last year. If the team stays relatively healthy, they will feel way more serious towards the end of the season. I can’t wait for the young Bucks to get some good reps through the season so they are acclimated to high intensity games.
Call me delusional, but as doc rivers and many of the bucks players have said, this team isnt even playing at THAT high of an offensive level yet, and thats scary! They dont have players that are overperforming and peaking in a way that makes this fools gold. In fact, there are a lot of games where they LOOK like theyre not even hitting as much as they could be, and when you check the stats, they're shooting like 55% and 41% or smth absurd. I think with Rollins learning how to step into his role more, and with Turner and GT getting out of those shooting slumps, its gonna be a NASTY matchup for any team going vs the bucks. My favorite thing is how doc as a defensive oriented coach is clearly trying to make the team hang their hat on D and letting the shots fall when they can. I love it. We had ZERO doubts about what a GA/MT frontcourt would look like on defense, and they've been amazing. Blocking, altering, and just forcing drivers to hesitate and rethink their attacks has been so great. We have decent POA defense in Rollins and AJ. Kuz has been AMAZING off the bench, coming in and playing the 3 alongside tp on some occasions when they need to big with the starters. Its been so cathartic to watch this team do EXACTLY what we've wanted them to do. Our 2 losses were very close, and the sacramento loss doesnt count in my book because of how disgusting the refs were. The bucks are legit. the bucks have a deep team filled with defense and shooting and creators. My fave thing is that this team is maybe 60% there and they look this good. KPJ has played 1q all season. Myles doesnt have 10 games with Giannis yet. There is a LOT of stuff on D and on O that can and will get better. Seeing a complete buy in from every player 1-18 has been amazing. Love this team, the vibes def feel better than previous years. It feels like a team figuring it out compared to a never ending tale of "wait till we figure this out".
Man you havent yalked about the nuggets once this year
The Bucks were amazing, beating Siakam and the G League boys, even if it took Giannis buzzer beater, should be celebrated as an achievement it really is. I guess now they are even after those consecutive 1st round exits.
Tbh it feels a bit disrespectful praising them for such thing, as if you are mocking them.
I’m very glad to get to listen to your commentary, it seems like you take each team seriously in evaluating what they’re good at and struggle with. Something hard to get from the sensationalist general media
I always thought JJ would be good as a coach despite the podcaster criticisms mainly because he's clearly a basketball geek and a former sharp shooter. I also thought his smug, arrogant, super confident vibe would work in his favour as a HC corralling egos. However what I think he needs to work on is his attitude towards the media especially when they lose. Dude, the reporters weren't on the floor.
I like Bronny and Smart together. I feel like Smart pours into Bronny bc he sees a lot of what he does in him. Brinny plays wayyyyyy harder when Smart tells him good job. Watch it next game!
Also, Hayes looks like an entirely different player. His vertacality on D has improved so much. He is also setting solid screens and taking his time to roll. You can tell her got in the gym and watched a lot of film this summer.

Epic win? They struggled with the gleague pacers that lost two more players during the game 😂😂😂 that was the most tragic win I've ever seen.
