the Mavericks are more dangerous than people believe right now. Josh Green shut Kawhi down. They had little trouble w/o Luka beating the Clips with Kyrie. When are teams going to rest their starters when Dallas is rotating in the leagues two top scorers?
Jalen & VC is a nice duo .. & tristan playing his role
How does this affect the all star game lol
Perk really don’t like RJ 6:00 😂😂
Obviously the best starting lineup now is the phoenix suns! But there bench is absolutely TERRIBLE!!! They have no one!
The nuggets are a regular season team they're like the Hawks few years back yes jokic is an mvp but if they play the lakers in the first wrong AD will eat his lunch .
Clippers are better than the Mavs. One regular season loss doesnt mean a thing
Perk and rjs humor is amaizing 😂😂😂😂
Morant is deff the leader of the team y’all just talking
Thank you Gentlemen! For your professional ,realistic, straight to business Analysis.The world needs put some respect on them Nuggets!
Keep sleeping in the kings
Since Thanksgiving the Nuggets have been the best offense in the NBA and the 7th best defense. Only other team that’s top 10 in both catergories is Philly.
When have the nuggets ever been the best in the west come playoff time??? 🤔
That suns team isnt built for the playoffs. NO bench, NO defense. Yes, they will win a bunch the 2nd half of the season. But 7 game series a whole diffent beast.
Until someone beats the Warriors in a 7 game series, they are the team to beat in the West. Period.
Wow no respect for the Kings
nuggets top easily
Take out the Warriors for the Kings….Than you will be fine!!!
No. The Clippers, Suns and Mavs are better. Cannot believe we are going to award a guy a third consecutive MVP and his team will be an early playoff exit.
The nuggets won't come out the west 😂 they're just a good team in regular season.
Never have been
Kd won one playoff series last 3 years. Suns lost their best defenders. Suns aren’t a threat.
Top 5
1. Golden State Warriors then the rest of the league in any order 😂
Suns 1 Dallas 2 nuggets 3 cause idk what nuggets thinking by trading bones. A huge lost
Lol y’all do this ever time a big trade goes down. The Suns haven’t played one game together CALM DOWN and see what happens.
Ja Morant: We’re fine in the West
Western Conference: Hold my beer
Don't give up on the nuggets
Nuggets finish 1st in WC and make the finals. KD isn't even back from injury and people are spazzing out like the Suns are the 96 Bulls. Kyrie scores 24 against LAC and they act it's like it's never been done before. So yeah let's see where we're at 20 games from now before handing Pheonix or Dallas the greatest of all-time ever title
Without a doubt, I wouldn't even say the Suns are the next biggest threat, easily 3rd or 4th in the West even with KD. It's not like they kept Bridges. They were saying the same about the Nets…
Denver at 1…….who has been dominated the last few years in the playoffs?
Perkins a dummy mentioning raptors being able to make a run lmao
Sleeping on warriors! Warriors over sun's
Best thing for nets
I have pelicans over grizzly if Zion comes back healthy
The wild and woolly West. All of these series going 6-7 games.
Nuggets are frauds just because you have the best record doesnt mean you the best team
I think the nets will be a championship team.. they loaded a lot great players.. very balanced team
Golden state is still not in the top 4! Denver was the main contender now they're not!
Denver is a 4 in the west
Nuggets don't have enough
This was a good segment. JUST TALK ABT HOOP AND WERE IN!
It’s weird hearing a Canadian (Tristian Thompson) say “no cap” 😂
So y’all really gone do this again huh? 😂…. Just wait till the playoffs then the Man NO ONE has an answer for will return for his 5th ring. Nuggets ain’t stopping KD over there. Ain’t gone happen. It’s Suns Warriors now for a few years .
Luka got help its over ppl.
0:55 I mean why wouldn't it be the Mavs they were in the WCF without kyrie and now they got luka help not to mention they have arguably the best bench in the west.
1:27 imma say this on wax the Mavs will handle up on both the suns and nuggets I say that respectfully. You can't double luka anymore and that was most opposing teams game plan while going up against the Mavs now they got Kyrie how are teams gonna play him smfh. Not to mention the open looks luka generates for his teammates
Tristan’s voice is annoying 😂
GREAT SEGMENT!!!
