Even regular season games between the Wolves and Nuggets are must watch.
Leg's, Adam. You guys are awesome! I hear you guys every time I work out and it makes it that much more enjoyable…sending you love all the way from Israel
Btw those chats aren't even KD. Just read them. It's just too on the nose and he doesn't talk like that. We fall for everything nowadays
When wil you guys give the Knicks top dog? When the cavs were #1 and we beat them it was crickets. When we beat Celtics it was c rickets . We’ve already beat the sixers . Crickets . We beat Detroit . Crickets . Mind you ALLL PLAYOFF SERIES WINS. And yet yall don’t say these things for the Knicks. But the pistons have never won a series and yet one Knicks series win crowns them forever ? Mannnnn please make it make sense .
uhhh.. spurs fans def haven't let go of the kawhi stuff. Esp with new reports coming out that uncle dennis was already making deals with the clippers while Kawhi was still signed with SA
If you want a fun series, how about Pistons vs. Hornets in Round 1. They had that brawl just recently, and the Hornets are super hot, would be a great series even if Detroit would obviously win.
Massa-Two-Sh*ts on the gambling T's & C's 😂😂😂
Rick’s West power rankings:
1 Thunder (of course)
2 Spurs (suck)
3 Butt Nugs
4 Wolves (suck)
Rest non relevant
Special recognition for cheating their asses off.
Clips
Jazz
My dream for the west is first round Nuggets/Wolves, OKC/Lakers, then semi final OKC/Nuggets, then finals OKC/Spurs. That would maximize the investment in those series. Spurs would have to finish 1st for it to happen, but SGA is out hurt right now so not crazy
I would love my sixers to get our lickback against the Celtics and Knicks this year. Please god I 🙏🏾 pray that 76ers get to the top 3 seed healthy
Wolves Spurs. Ant Wemby.
Ant wants to destroy Wemby.
It was right there
Cade.
Another great pod I love the matchup I agree this is my favorite but I was shocked we have the same favorite match up ur team that u cover that u love Denver nuggets would probably in top 3 and joker would be eliminated and also love the Denver team that why my second match up is den vs OKC a rematch from last yr
I love ur guys top 5 matchup but here mine bec I love the hornets vs det because I just saw their drama and action I hope the hornets for real and sneak into the playoff offense vs defense that why their are my dark horse top match up 1st OKC vs SAS 2nd okc and den 3rd min vs den 4th would be det vs hornets last would be the sun vs hou for the drama
I agree with the potential of the Orlando for ward but I am watching them for a yrs now even when their healthy but I like the addition of shooting of bane I gave up on them because have seen enough games their both in efficient I like franz play making I don't thinks they fit especially banchero is handling to much they desperately need a first past of in the off season bec they need to be efficient especially they lost their team defense this yr
Pistons are a third round exit
Thank God, no greasy pirate today!
Not even one mention of Victor changing the culture of the all star game?
I’ve been saying the saying thing legs Hornets & Suns gonna give somebody a problem first round & one out of 2 gonna make it it to the 2nd round !!!
One reason that fans don't like your rankings is because these rankings are typically based on current play, not what happened last year. I give OKC grace because they are the defending champs but make no mistake, Spurs fans & Pistons fans should have reason to believe that their teams be ranked higher than NY & Denver because they're playing better ball. Every team in the league had games where they're 2 best players missed games so factor that in.
