Lebron has been a regular season frontrunner for a decade. Nothing new
It's incredible the Celtics were so bad at rebounding in the beginning of the season it was bad and I thought there's nothing they can do to rebound we have queda that's it , and Joe mazzula coached this team to be a great rebounding team , that's incredible you don't. Need to sign a rebounding center, Joe mazzula can just coach rebounding lol
Luka look like Jonah Hill hahah
Jason's take in the parity segment was spot on
Another really great young player is Donovan Clingan. He's basically Steven Adams/Mitchell Robinson with a shot.
NBA just don’t hit the same anymore
Love Jason but saying Luka has the highest cieling is one of the dumber things I’ve heard. Jokic clearly has the highest ceiling. If you wanted to argue for somebody it’s Ant.
Luka is not getting an MVP or Championship IMO. I think he peaked already.
I don’t think there is any truth to Colin comment that Basketball fans are more loyal than football fans ! In fact I’d argue football fans are the most loyal Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers Dallas Cowboys Green Bay Packers NY Jets fans come to mind
18:38 Bro i was thinking about this the other day. Pritchard and D White have tied Joe Mazulla’s system so well between the starters and bench.
I love every player in the draft, but not mentioning Caleb Wilson is absolutely insane. He’s more physically talented than Cam boozer.
the Knicks beat the Celtics last year bcz Kristaps porzingis wasn't healthy.
Jason is ruining his basketball credentials when it comes to luka he refuses to acknowledge he’s simply a worse player than prime James harden
Jason and Middlekauf are excellent
Jason’s great with Colin
Jason is that guy💯💯💯
Nico will be proven right. A 27 year old NBA player who doesn't play defense, is ball dominant, has the body of a 36 year old and argues at the refs. Say it out loud!
“We won’t wear our favorite baseball player….”
I literally see waaaay more baseball players’ t shirts/jerseys than any other sport
Timpf always brings it. Better communicator than John 1000%, cooler without being a “bro” type, etc
Saying were loyal to players and not our teams is really out of touch
To Collin's point about baseball, sure it's fun to root against the Dodgers, if your team has a chance. If not, I'm tuned out because everything is decided in the off season.
Man am not liking what am seeing from the lakers they have no chemistry!!!! Am worried LeBron is slowing down they have no defense none!!!!! N they play no team ball
Another day, another shot Colin takes at Carmelo 🤦🏾♂️
I second apron should allow at least some flexibility to keep your young core together
Every time Colin talks about basketball you realize how little he follows the sport. Jason is trying to just let him rock but Colin doesn’t really know the league
Jason is really good when he doesn’t spend 30mins only talking about the Lakers
Jason is so good at explaining high level basketball concepts like defensive schemes in terms that the average NBA fan can understand
