That behind the back pass from Şengün at the end was AMAZING!
Hoping for some Steph magic in Orlando and for Warriors to bring the heat down in Florida!! 👍🙏🔥🔥
Nice bounceback second half of the week for Warriors 🎉❤
I think San Antonio is a lot better team when they have Dylan Harper. This mediocre play started when he went down.
Question: Would the league even let lebron to be traded? Just feels like he is at a level where you cant do that unless its his call. Would love to see Lebron traded back to cleveland in exchange for wing depth such as deandre hunter and co
Jaylen Brown was so scrapy and yet again injured another player :s
As great as the pistons have been, I think their schedule has been too soft for me to put them in 3rd. They are 4th/5th spot behind Rockets and battling with lakers for me.
I need to see them against some bigger matchups before I trust them.
3:40 Sorry Jason, no one can compete with OKC. Not even Denver.
That measuring stick must hella hurt 😂
I know nobody wants to talk about the Raptors… but they’ve won 7 of 8 beating the Bucks, Hawks and Cavs twice 🤷🏻♂️
Ball knowers know trading trae or any top 15-25 player is a bad move for a team that is built to compete now. (Dont @ me luka/ad trade –nico is mentally regarded.)
People forget that derrick white was an on ball point guard earlier in his career with spurs. That season when degante murry tore his acl and derrick white was the spurs starting point guard when they went to play offs. He was great in that role. He done it before
This dude rankings changing game by game recently he put the Lakers over Denver lmao
Rockets accidentally lost to OKC after 2 overtimes..Rockets is the most complete team in NBA…They have size, second best center in NBA in Sengun, KD NBA's probable all time best scorer and these ignorant Basketball youtubers surprised by Rockets.. Learn structured basketball man😂😂😂
Orlando gave that game to Houston by not pressuring the in bound with sz and not double the paint. Easy pass to the front of the rim.
Lakers are 5th in power without Bron playing one game 🫣🤩
Thats crazy. Talked about the Nuggets for almost 4 mins. Gave Okc 90 seconds
I don't wanna be that guy, but today's game kinda sets the tone that, this team is Sengun's and not Durant's
The 9-4 Spurs would be the 2nd seed in the east lol.
Houston is overrated
Long way to go? How can you have good take then get in here and say stuff like this?They still learning to play with each other while having Luka,reeves,LeBron,ayton, hachimura out do to injuries amongs other players. They have 10-4 record,they are doing excellent.
How are the Lakers over the Warriors if the Warriors beat them.
And you talked about OKC blowing out the Warriors but they did the same to the Lakers
My power rankings
1. Okc
2. Nuggets
3. Pistons
4. Knicks
5. Rockets
6. Warriors
7. Lakers
8. Spurs
9. Cavs
10. Hawks
denver is getting extremely lucky on defense. Will be waiting for when their opponent wide open 3PM stabilizes and how viable it'll be for them to continue to play specialists when teams do eventually start knocking down their wide open 3s.
imagine thinking lebron coming back makes the Lakers better lmao. going to be a disaster
KD didn't trip and fall. He actually was tugged on
You can say whatever you want about any team in the NBA good or bad. But at the the very end of the video at the end of the power rankings… just a friendly reminder the OKC Thunder still play basketball. Feelings of inadequacy to all and to all a good night.
As a person from the future here are the actual power rankings:
1. Houston
2. OKC
3. Denver
4. Detroit
5. GSW
6. Lakers
7. Knicks
8. Indiana
9. Orlando
10. San Antonio
Please don’t get mad I’m just showing you what I know from the future
Rockets are amazing
Henry Cavill lookalike.
OH I THOUGHT WHEN YOU SAID ROCKETS ARE #10, YOU MEANT #10. APPARENTLY NOT.
How aren't the Rockets top 10 in the power rankings
You guys know what’s kinda crazy? Brons more than likely not gonna be eligible for all nba no matter if he averages 30-10-10 which ik he won’t but he’s already missed 14 games and counting. 65 game minimum he can only miss 3? That really sucks too im sure that pisses him off
OKC, Denver, and Houston are all 9-1 over their last 10.
When LeFlop comes back LA is gonna start losing haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard
No criticism for a Clippers team you hyped up all off season!?
