Then he breaks down Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks getting a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Anthony Edwards’ return from injury + Nikola Jokic having an incredible game for the Denver Nuggets in a win over the Miami Heat.

Refs? Rigged?
Great game the refs need to back off tho. but great game either way the spurs will be scary very soon but shout out to the lake show
LEBRON COMING BACK…LFG
MAILBAG: Hey Jason, love the show. I am Australian and would love to know if this Josh Giddey emergence is a real thing or not. After Patty Mills and that generation of Australian basketballers have gotten older we need a new leader of the national team. Is it possible that he could be at an all-star level and where does he have to improve his game to become a top 20 player in the league if that ceiling even exists.MAILBAG: Hey Jason, love the show.

The lakers role players are better this year and a better effort/rebounding team! Plus you have ball handlers and scores all through the lineup!
(Itâs âSham-PENNY,â for whatever itâs worthâŠ)
What changes, roster or schematically, do the Cavs have to make to be different than previous seasons?
You are the one backtracking your comments đ. Just a few shows ago you had ruled out smart, the offense, the preparation, DA, you are one of the doubters who is backtracking now. Donât act like you saw this coming
Its a team sport so the coach is the 6th and 7th player. That is how important he is. And JJ is better every day. Considering it is just the start of his second season as a coach at any pro level, he will most likely become a hall of fame coach. He is already one of the best coaches in the freakin NBA.
Hey Jason. I feel like the Lakers are one trade away from seriously competing for a chip. And that trade is for Jrue Holiday (for Gabe, Dalton, Maxi⊠and a first if necessary). That would drastically improve on point of attack and wing defence. Jrue, Smart, Vando, Jake, LeBron, Rui. We have Luka and AR to handle the ball. We have DA and Hayes as bigs (like JaVale and Dwight in 2020). Adding Jrue means youâre adding another two-way. And every good team he goes to seems to win a chip (Bucks, Celtics).
I canât stand Marcus Smart man. Not saying heâs not a good player but him playing super physical and then flopping when the physicality is returned just makes the game less fun to watch
Love how biased fans say one side dominated when it was a one session game
Mailbag: Hey Jason, love the show, best basketball podcast in the game right now. My question is this. Do you think the Lakers front office views Austin Reaves as Lukas long term running mate or as more of a potential trade asset to secure a player that may fit better alongside Luka? Personally I love watching them play together, but with the recent surge from AR15 I cant help but wonder what he would look like running his own team as maybe a second option to a dynamic front court player. What teams/players do you think could be good targets if AR were to be signed and traded in the next couple of seasons?
Really appreciate you acknowledging the value Kornet brings that the Spurs desperately miss.
Haters really gaslit us to thinking a team with the best player of all time, arguably the best player currently, and the best number 3 option in the league would be mediocre
Luka is great player Dallas has to be regretting the trade Wemby will be unstoppable sooner than later ! Open up the game for Wemby let him bring the ball up like Giannis
I canât believe the lakers are this good without LeBron. They are going to be so versatile come playoffs. Any night they have 3 great ball handlers
Mailbag: What is the calculus when deciding to lend your expertise to mainstream no-nothings looking to bolster their flimsy hoops credibility? Does it feel as gross as it looks?
Obviously happy the Lakers won. The game was nearly unwatchable with all those fouls called. Let these guy play. Refs made the game so slow and ruined any rhythm
By the way heat fans!!! If you want to watch warriors vs nuggets instead of your own shitty team – we will be on play back!!!
