Raptors were without RJ, Poetl and BI..
The twolves are really good.. Their starting unit and the chemistry they built is great. They just need a veteran backup C and PG that can give them 2-6 quality minutes and then they are a serious contender. BC they have a thin bench and no depth behind PG or C, i'ts hard seeing them beat OKC, Denver or SA 4 times, but they are still dangerous.
Leg’s Watson point is one of the best he’s made in a while. It’s not additive and usually the less opportunity increases pressure on each shot so percentages drop beyond shot attempts. Not saying Watson hasn’t proven something but there’s some fit issues that’ll have to get figured out
Wolves going to the finals this year. Bookmark it.
Ime Udoka needs to be fired.
Power rankings are dumb bc there is no real definition to them they are just based off vibes. I think contender rankings are better
Question: Is the over performance of the Suns and the under performance of the Rockets related to Kevin Durant?
Ants also improved his midrange percentage so much that his at the rim percentage is a career high
Finally the Blazers are getting some well deserved love and recognition
Julius Randle’s defense on Wemby was not on my bingo card
18:10 Lakers
Rockets are missing FVV a lot. They need a point guard. Also trading Dillon Brooks was a huge loss. He is a culture setter and a great defender. Brooks is a big part of the suns success. I don’t think it’s KDs fault like some
Ppl are saying , it’s just the roster isn’t complete. Also Sengun been injured for a little bit so hopefully when he returns they will be better
Suns over the lazy Lakers for sure.
Rockets probably will be ahead of Suns when it all said and fine but really don’t think Lakers will be! Suns have been with their second best scorer all season and had injuries. Plus their two promising rookies haven’t been played much and should start to get better every game. Lakers are overrated
What other team can miss the entire starting line up and continue to win like Denver?! Put some respect on their name. Once fully healthy it’s over
PHX will clinch the 3 seed by the end of the season!!!!!
On Houston, they really need a true PG. But this once again shows you how KD is not good for a team's Locker room. He hasn't really done anything since Curry carried him to those chips. Look at the Suns this year for evidence exhibit D. I'm not denying his incredible talent, but his petulant attitude and his lack of leadership has to be called out, those things matter.
OKC is a product of their easy schedule
Lol Tim Legler going on about Maxey and the 76ers having george and embiid out. Meanwhile the Raptors were without BI, Big Jak, and RJ. The ended the game with 2 rookies and a second year player!
Best podcast in the nba. Thank you for showing the wolves some love.
🙏🏀
Legs would make a good Caesar! 👍🏼👎🏼😂
Didn't the Lakers have one of the easiest schedules up to this point? Early wins against the Spurs and Wolves. Personally, I think the win over PHX was badly officiated to edge the Lakers over the Suns. Otherwise, the Suns would be 3-0 against the Lakers. They aren't as good as their record is. Not to be biased yet, I'm a Suns fan, and the Suns will finish above the Lakers.
You've got to talk about what the Nuggets are doing. I mean, it's crazy. Down 4 or 5 starters every game and they keep winning. Peyton Watson and the bench are playing out of their minds. Guys are playing so free and just stepping into shots and making plays. And playing their butts off on D. This is what great coaching looks like. Adelman should get consideration for coach of the year.
Is there a reason the nuggets can't just hire Calvin Booth back as like a head scout lol because all of his picks are panning out now
Mitch Johnson, what a disappointment so far. The Spurs have blown close to 10 double digit leads in the third quarter this year alone so far, coaching is looking really questionable.
I’m sure I’m wrong but if memory serves me right, those last 7 loses that Legs reference for the Lakers all happened after LeBron James joined the team this year. Can anyone verify that?
Just remember, when the playoffs start, that Wolves/Spurs game in 4th qrt is gonna be what it is like for Wemby. Struggles
Adam is always a Suns hater, but expected as a Nuggets guy. His argument of they’ve maximized who they are already is false considering the thought to be 2nd best player has played 5 qtrs of bball lol. Time will tell tho
Adam really being biased lately.
Ant has learned the game at a great rate. Hes added to his game each and every year. Respect the man he plays when he can.
As of today and the past 2 years, WOLVES WCF BACK TO BACK. Right now they are still
considered THAT TEAM. Maybe trading for Ja will get the Wolves to win it all!!! 😅 otherwise they are just the same WCF Wolves who cant go past that.
Dillon Brooks is my third favorite player right now.
These guys saying Randle’s defence was great but also ‘mauled’ Wemby and was ‘on the line’ which means that they expected a whistle that never came.
KD is bucket but they lost defense, toughness and leadership when brooks left. KD is not a chemistry lockeroom guy.
