6 8 ? cade isn’t 6 8
The Nico part was hilarious! Nico is going to trade Flag! That would break the internet!
19 PPG ON A BAD SEASON 😂HE IS ELITE
Dallas didn't have a choice. The ratings were way down last year and all the owners started losing money. So they made the plan get our biggest star to our biggest market our market team. And just like we've done two other times before will give them the number one pick for doing it. But they all work together they're all making money together regardless of who wins. It's a big company with different branches. They're so brash they make this trade and it's obvious and then they gaslight is cuz it doesn't matter they just want Luca on the Lakers cuz it brings more eyes to the whole NBA and they're all making money so it doesn't really matter
How are these dudes have a full blown dialogue about the Pistons and NO ONE talks about Jaden Ivey?!?! What is happening??? lol
The bucks lost that game
Stop the cap!! Cunningham is not on Brunson level!! He has never been in mvp consideration. 10 games in and he’s the best in the east lmao. U guys are judging talent solely on height.
As a Suns fan- I'll take this team over any Suns team for the last two seasons. They play like they care which is something they never did with KD.
SGA getting 35 is not news, SGA having 82 regular season games over 20pts not news. IHart 33pts 19 rebounds not news, AJ Mitchel doing what he has been doing in his sophomore year not news. OKC 10-1 not news. All this is not news because you guys refuse to talk about them. WHYYYYY? If you bring them up at all its a segment talking about how bad someone else doing like this episode talking about Ja Morants bad season. You almost said AJs stats, but nope. Please please please give these KIDS some credit while they are doing it. Stop putting them on your small market back burner. Still love yall. Watching every second
Beal just doesnt have it anymore- at least they arent paying him for $50 million a year like the Suns were…
You can see the pain on their faces as they begrudgingly talked about the Pistons for almost 20 whole minutes. They didn't even mention Jaden Ivey returning, or the potential of Malik Beasley returning. Complete malpractice.
Klay can be as upset as he wants about coming off the bench. He can change that any time he wants by making some shots.
The national guys probably won't know this, but when Ivey went down he was shooting 40% from 3 with a good sample size. Plus he's the fastest player in the league.
It's like the bad boys are playing in today's princess league… Every night we play like it's the finals… Their goal is to slam it down your throat period
Windy being a homer
Yeah forgot about Jaden ivy
Cade is listed at 6'6 I think
How is this year 2 of the Mavericks “3-4” year window when the trade happened last year??? This is the first FULL year of that window.
Wemby is a Detroit hater, but I’ve never seen it this blatant. You suck Wemby!
Built not bought
Your scorer next to Cade is Ivey. Also, not to mention Isiah Stewart (Top 5 Rim Protector) is disrespectful. It’s an all around unit of a team.
Windhorst might be one of the dumbest analysts of all time. Once his stories and whisper campaigns end, there is nothing more in that big head even resembling bball knowledge.
Macmahon with the 67!!!! 😂
Solid MacMahon ep
The Miami Heat are 6 and 4 anx they are not even healthy 😂😂😂 only 1 game away from 2nd spot in the east with 2 of their starters In Herro and Adebayo and have embarrassed the Knicks
Cade beat double coverage, drove down the lane, and dunked on Drummond while getting shoved from behind by Oubre. Let’s not rush to discredit what Cade did. Cade was double and triple teamed all game. He scored 13 in the 3rd and 11 in the 4th to lead his team to the win.
Duren has been a monster.
Cade has repeatedly turned struggle nights into signature performances.
This while missing two starters and two rotational bench players.
Cunningham is a stud… Donovan mitchell is 31 and 5 with incredible efficiency. Donovan might be the toughest shotmaker in the league well maybe after luka. Hes the best shooting guard in the league if you ask me.
Windy is such a dismissive, smug douche lol
Why yall mentioning health? Ivey hasn't played yet this season. Tobias been hurt 3 games. Stew hurt. We literally have 5 injured players. 1 is our 6th man in Sasser. 2 starters and our best defender
Yo. What's Windy's problem with Detroit. 😂
It’s amazing they’re reluctantly talking about the Pistons being a top seed without talking about JI’s leg, Sass’ hip, Stew’s ankle, Uncle T’s ankle.
The Pistons have a collection of young guys who improved internally. Watch the leap they make as guys start coming back
Self deprecating McMahon creates genuine mirth within Bontempt's soul
Intro forehead jumpscare.
Ive never seen a worse defender than reed shepherd
We need an award for “Least Improved Player” because the war crimes committed by Temetrius Jamel Morant against the sport I love must not go unpunished 😤
FIRE NICO!! 👏👏👏
Did the clippers miss the latest payment to Kawhi again? Haven't they found a new way after aspiration went kaput?
SPOACH OF THE YEAR
