  1. Irving is better than Lillard, he was just injured. Also Irving can defend well when he wants to unlike Lillard

  2. Why dog out DJ. These people that don’t know making comments. DJ was a hall of fame player before he joined the Celtics. Keep DJs name out of your mouf kid.

  3. hey HOST GUY can you please stfu when Danny is talking appreciate it. That shit is annoying thankyou

  4. Mikal Bridges Career (630 games) and season stats and nearly identical…that is wild to see…he is what he is. He wasn't an All-star and isn't supposed to be for this team. Also his Win Shares is higher than last year…oh and he doesn't miss games and is unselfish as a highly efficient scorer and notable defender…

  5. Wos buggin…Down on Parker who was an absolute problem and was clutch putting pressure on teams…Kyrie is better than Dame as a player…now leadership and personality. Dame didn't just play with bums…he was also a liability on defense that lead to some outcomes…Kyrie is overrated, but we've seen him in big games be a bit time player too and deeper into the playoffs. Same with Tony…we've seen him turn series and change games. Saying all that Dame is a hall of famer because the Hall of Fame is diluted to begin with. Also Tony Parker was #2 option with those Spurs teams…he was not 3rd or 4th…He wasn't in top 10 MVP voting as a 3rd/4th option…people are sleeping

  6. What's bullshit about the 65 game rule is that the NBA made a punitive rule on the players because of organizational culture and decisions feeding the fan envy/perception that NBA players are lazy and undeserving of health and maintenance while also fans/media pushing narratives that the regular season doesn't mean anything. If you are injured you do even more physical work to get back on the court, so why should be penalized for doing more to get back for your team. The main guy that hurts the perception and gets a pass is Joel Embiid. His entire get down comes across as a guy that loafs and uses all his PTO. Maybe his body really is constantly failing, but because of hue he is and the NBA fan culture is based in envy and vitriolic it is easily covered as "these guys never play" rather than forcing teams to cut ticket prices for knowingly resting players to prep for playoffs or to tank for picks. Way easier for Adam and media to attack BLACK players…because when Jokic was hurt no one was rushing him. When Chandler Parsons and Gordon Heyward were constantly hurt people were so understanding and never questioned how much money they made. It is very much based in prejudice and lack of context. Having said that I respect the 65 games because you knew when you started the season the goal. Cade did what he was supposed to do….Nothing is stopping Pistons from putting a vest on him to protect his ribs/lungs and having him play reduced minutes to qualify. Pacers just did it with Haliburton. If this is the rule you can get it off and make it work for your benefit.

  7. Dame a hall of famer and who tf the dude who hasn’t played in the nba saying all this shit and Kyrie definitely not overrated

  8. I'm a defense wins championships guy but I got to agree with Paul! I remember those 85 points a night New York Knicks teams! They changed the rules because of that.

  9. Kai and is better than Tony Parker, AD is better than Howard, Tony Parker and Vince Carter are both better than Dame and Manu is better than James Harden

  10. Amazing podcast ‼️ Wos need to stop talking so much he keeps talking over everyone host the show man , every time he gets mad he start whining and getting so loud your not 5 years old bro I’ve never liked watching a pod and hated hearing the host voice more than Wos , Danny doing a good job keep talking over him Danny Paul needs to do more and talk a lot so Wos just get muted out

  11. i'm not a stephen a smith fan, but his point is valid, trading bridges for 7 picks is just WILD. he ain't even an allstar, he is a role player. you basically traded your future for a starting role player

  12. Wos grossly overrating Dame’s playoff career but hes still a first ballot HOF and top 75 player easily

  13. Bam a future hall of famer
    But Dame is a hall of famer not better than Dwight Parker Manu Gasol Klay tho who should all have been top 75 instead
