The thing is bam is at best another Scottie pippen
11:34 haha!
Bam adedebayo 😭🤣
Bam should have 90 points tonight 😂😂
Hornets finna shake the east up 🗣️💯
SAS is one of the idiots that vouched for Thibs to be fired 😂
Everyone is a New York Knicks exec. calling trades and the shots around the arena… I guess…
SA you dont call the shots.. sit down and collect your ESPN/NBC check!
Man said empowering his teammates, bro Don been hoopin in Cleveland he came in the league hoopin not his fault he had to wait for for Mobley to get a lil better not to mention Darius Garland was hurt or mid his whole time there… essentially putting him back in the same situation he was in in utah… only dude who can score while dribbling consistently! We’ll see how they do this year.
I don't watch this BS show no more. Where's Molly 😂
Yall underestimating coach spo he is licking his chops right now against this young team , are yall ready for this?
I cant even PHANTOM. Well well well
Let’s go LaMelo and #charlottehornets #buzzcity #nbaplayoffs 🤘🏀🤘
LET'S GO HORNETS!!!!
Isn’t Donovan Mitchell younger than James Harden?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I never see Mitchell give up on his team is James Harden he always give up in the playoffs perk be tweaking😂
Spider Mitchell avg 30 in the playoffs no help since he been getting there the last 5 years 3 starters sat the 1st 3 playoff games last season
Mike brown gonna get fire and get the bucks job 😂
11:42 😂😂😂
Bam is a decent number 2 but a Great number 3, on a championship team
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
16:17 this is pure gold 😂😂
Put some respect on Jalen Johnson name….yall keep messing it up.
SAS is buggin
Get SAS out of here
Cleveland trying hard thats for sure 😅 if he wade then he needs a big man
Why they always get Jalen Johnson's name wrong 🤣
Stephen A is funny asf
Atlanta Hawks are no joke since the All Star break. New York got the toughest low seed that you could get this year.
Drug tested 😂😂😂
Punk
The Hawks are solid i wouldn't be surprised if they give the Knicks a hard time
Who the bad shorty in the middle 😩😩😩😩
Why he talking like the hawks are not capable
bam need to score 80 points again
Lamelo him fr
Hawks gotta get team n nothin to lose , them n the hornets can be a tough out
Worst sports analysts of all time.
No one capes for Donovan Mitchell more than SAS. Mitchell lead teams fails to meet expectations going back to the Utah Jazz. He is a great iso scorer but if he's not efficiently scoring, he's not impacting the game. And his overall stature makes him a consistent target defensively. He just cannot be the number one option on a championship team. We know who Harden is at this point and he's essentially at the tail end of his career so expecting him to all of a sudden be something that he hasn't been his whole career is asinine.
Hurry up and get to Home Depot and gets some hornet spray. Cause Chariotte is coming!!!
Perk needs to stop this narrative hes tryna put on Spida dude avg 35 last year vs pacers not his fault mobley hunter and garland were hurt and missing games! This dude is seriously on sumn
Stephen A and First Take is not even a "real" debate show it's just weird and dumb conversation FRFR
11:34 😂😂😂😂
Perk saying asinine and have no idea what that mean 😂
They fire Mike brown , no coach is going there.. have some patience, the Knicks aren’t better than the Celtics or the Cavs
Miami plays small ball. They will beat Charlotte. This is what Miami does. They will then face either Philly or Orland. They're in the playoffs if they face Philly. If the play a much bigger Orlando team, too difficult. What Miami SHOULD do is lose tonight and focus on making major changes to the roster.
