Punk😊😊
They forgetting about the wolves and ANT
A win is a win regardless of who the opponent is. All that matters is you have more wins than losses
Lakers lose in first round…Round 2 topics: Would the Lakers been able to win round 2 if they got past round 1?
Lmaoooooo…
This is just a comedy show at this point
Saying the same thing everyday. Come on. Someone talk about the Hornets
I dont listen to woman talking sports. I just ffw to the SAS.
Monica! 🤣 12:00
Spurs vs Pistons
Spurs vs Boston
Useless discussion, every single freaking year…………….
Mcnutt and Chiney is 🔥 ❤ fine women
Apparently the sky is falling for the Lakers (0.607 win pct) but the Nuggets (0.613 win pct) are a top tier championship contender, even though they are 5-8 since Jokic returned and 1-7 against playoff teams. Both teams have had a lot of injuries and a similar amount of missed games due to injuries. The inconsistency in hot takes is hilarious.
Chiney is the most beautiful woman on sports tv and she is very intelligent lawwd!! 😁
CAN STEPHEN A SMITH PROVE
1.HE PLAYED HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL AT THOMAS EDISON HIGH SCHOOL?
2.THAT HE PLAYED BASKETBALL AT THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR COACH MARVIN RIPPY?
3.THAT HE GOT A BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP TO WINSTON SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY?
JAMES HARDE = " PLAYOFF JOKER CHOKER "
Chuck called it 😂
Espn HAS THE WORST NAB COVERAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
1.NON ATHLETES TALKING ABOUT THE NBA
2.NON BASKETBALL PLAYERS TALKING ABOUT THE NBA
God bless all!
These ladies are so lame
Wish the Lakers deserved all this attention.
Monica my bby !
I’m a Lakers fan we can probably beat Houston but we would get dog 🐕 walked my OKC SA Denver and Minn 😮 we ain’t going anywhere as usual 😢
Brick situation is wild
Pistons hating mfs
Can Donald prove he's not a PDF?
ESPN.. u trying put SPURS like real contender.. at the risk of making ur stats look like click bait… I bet u whatEVER SPURS WONT PASS 1st round. 03 04 26 today
NOPE……MY LAKERS ARE NOT 🚫 CONTENDERS…WE ARE TOO WHITE TOO SLOW TOO SOFT… WITH ABSOLUTELY NO DEFENSE…..BUSS AND POLINKA IS IN THE WAY OF THE LAKERS PROGRESS…. THEY'RE LIKE MY 49ERS….BOTH TEAMS HAVE GENTRIFIED THERE ROSTERS AND GOING HIGH SPEED BACKWARDS
THE GENTRIFIED LAKERS
Like the Nuggets squeaked out against the Utah Jazz but y'all ain't got nothing to say about that huhn?
I WAS SUPER High ON THE Spurs.. UNTIL THE KNICKS MOPPED THEM UP AND MADE WEMBY LOOK LIKE NBA FOLLIES
spurs will beat ofc in a 7-game series. They are the only team that match them every single game, but OKC still remains the best team.
ESPN has asked this question about the Lakers every week
They literally don’t know what ceiling means😂😂😂
He’s a real schmuck and schmo. This year they’ll be no chip for the purple and gold. Next year he’s unsure where he will go. Nowhere man please listen. Stop shooting 3’s you keep missing. The NBA is no longer at your command.
🥱 🎵
We get it. You've got white teeth. Now put them away.
Can we even trust James Harden in the post season with the Cavs? He’s came up short in the playoffs through his entire career 😂
It’s the same headline every week
Stephen A is tired… Let's move on
Boston has no chance to win it stop. Good season for them but stop
what's w all these girls talking about sports
welcome guys to the 5th time this week first take discusses whether Lakers are contenders
Shae is soooo good ,AMAZING REPLACEMENT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can never take the analyst on the far right, in the pink shirt seriously. We ain’t trying to hear about Stephen A and his body.
Everybody is so stupid including LeBron James if he would have played point guard his whole career he will have about 10 rings right now 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
