1 min ago, balls just shivered
Nerding my sesh one more time 😩
No Timestamp for the Spurs, was really wondering if they are not in this top ten
How did the spurs drop entirely out of the top 10 and below the lakers?
OKC's preferred starting lineup has played how many games together this season? About half a dozen.
OKC is sort of plug and play. Hat's off to Sam the Man Presti and his staff.
carson please go home💔
COME ONNNN
The pistons commentary on JB being a bozo and not playing Jenkins high minutes and leaving levert on the bench is 1000000% ACCURATE as a Pistons fan. Levert should not see the floor, ever. Jenkins is a perfect back up PG
How are the knicks below the Celtics and the cavs? They beat the Celtics with Tatum, Jrue, Al horford and Luke Kornet. And the cavs got worse Kenny Atkinson was a Jordan ott merchant and he left.
ELITE refresh pull 🫃
Blame KD? Nah, he is who he is. He's never been some great leader or offensive engine, but he does fill it up and play decent defense. Problem is team construction. Even with Fred healthy, they just don't have enough offensive guard play.
Nerding the sesh out of this
No spurs is CRAZY
For those thinking the Spurs aren't there, they forgot the timestamp. It's 1:25:50
Read the title. Came to comment. No. Left in 6 seconds.
I agree, I believe the answers for the Pistons are in house but for some reason JB isn't doing it. Play Daniss, play Ivey on ball more, Sasser can handle it, QUIT PLAYING CARIS
Hella Pistons disrespect having the Cavs above them
i would legit put the suns over the lakers
I promised myself last time was the final time. But alas, here I am again… seshing everywhere
Carson looks like a golf club and used t-shirt salesman
having the Lakers above the Suns is hilarious. A couple of simps for big markets. These guys don't know ball.
30/12/11 on 71 TS%. That dude is incredible. Wemby and SGA are the only players with a prayer of catching him
As the Celtics fan….. Psycho Joe for President!
I don’t think Tatum would hijeck the offense liken Tatum could be a 22 8 and 5 like an all around beast than the Celtic would be good .We got 3 point shooter let white and pp and hauser and simions shoot the 3 like tatuk damage should be in the paint .
The team #2 in net rating at #8 😂😂😂 Carson can be such a clown sometimes
