Awesome video
Lakers at 6 lol
Jason couldn’t help himself lol
No Jose Alvarado?
Totally agree, Luke Kennard makes the Lakers the best team in the NBA, well said
17:25 what is booker better than murray at? Murray is a better shooter ball handler and passer
Haha the funny thing is Luke Kennard actually had more high school points in Ohio than Lebron 😂 not a bad icebreaker
Man nobody cares about no Luke Kennard 😂😂😂😂 your bias is showing
They ll be contenders next year when Lebron signs for vet min.
My Cavs paying 40 million to someone who actually plays has been so nice. I can’t wait for Mobley to come back
Bro does everything in his power to never talk about the Knicks
Pistons are the just the Cavs from last year. Nobody outside of there fans believe in them
No cam Thomas to bucks talk 😂😂 yall so mad bucks didn't trade giannis it's honestly hilarious. Stay salty
You're probably the best internet analyst i watch along with jimmy high roller. Only thing you're missing is videos explaining the plays for my goldfish attention span
Awesome to see TJD having a dream double double début 🎉😊
cmon i know you root for lakers, but they are not in top 10 if denver is at 7
If someone is top 6 in all league, you think they can win championship, but we all know lakers have 0 chance to win championship, litterally some random team from east have a bigger chance
say that again so ppl stop talk sh… harden has never played w a HIGH level playmaker, even cp in Houston doesn't count, he wasn't Mitchell, kyrie in Brooklyn (giannis took him out, and j ab) and KD in Brooklyn wouldn't be considered a playmaker as such would he
The Celtics are toying around too much with the double big setup right now and it's clogging up the play on both ends. It worked well against the Rockets, but I think it has to remain a niche option rather than a go to thing to start games. They'll figure it out and be ok, but anything good this season is basically a bonus. Playing with house money this year. I like the fit of Vuc for the team and I think he will bring positive value despite his limited defense. They looked a lot more potent against Miami with him as a solo big.
I’m beginning to feel like the Pistons could make the finals, and be up 3 games to 1, and Jason, will still rank them as a second tier contender. 😂
MAILBAG: Assuming both are playing at their peak, what makes Jokic better than Luka as the #1 and #2 basketball players in the world respectively? They’re both comparable defensively so surely it’s a just a small margin in each of the major categories like short and long range scoring, rebounding, passing, etc. Is there actually a skill difference or a tangible thing that Jokic does that Luka doesn’t? Or should Shai be #2 if he’s playing at his peak? Thanks a lot, love the show, shout out to the hard work you guys put in.
Lakers 6thðŸ˜maybe they are going to make the play-in at most
MAILBAG: Thanks for all of your analysis! Could you give an example of a playoff matchup where you’d favor one teammate over another specifically because of the opponent’s defensive scheme?
Why the lack of coverage of the Knicks? I mean it's barren and it makes me question the value of the site. I am sure it would improve your #'s if you at least made an attempt. Even the power ranking spent half the time talking about the Pistons.
Always great content. Bummed you rarely talk about the Knicks
