THE MISMATCH
Early bird
This is going to sound very rude; I like Chris a lot as a podcaster. He's one of the ringers best. I don't know what the actual fuck bill was thinking bringing on Jacoby. KOC wasn't even that great but at least he wasn't so goddamn annoying.
Had curry signed with Nike he would have broken shoe sales records. Thank you Nico
They went 7 vs denver because JDub wrist was injured and needed surgery, Chet was 3 months removed from breaking his Hip and clearly wasn't 100% and gave away game 1 by missing those two freethows leading to AG's game winner. oh and they shot 31% as a team from three, now assuming health plus Ajay Mitchell leap denver would lose in 5 games
Thing about Cam Johnson: I'm always leery of guys who are in trade rumors for more than a season, even or perhaps especially if they're playing for a go-nowhere team like the Nets. There's a reason why no one jumped on him when he seemingly became available and only got traded when the Nuggets were fairly desperate to get off the MPJ deal.
50:57 this is how miles bridges "motivates" his wife into cleaning the house haha
"The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts"
Steph leaving ua is wild to me . It clearly means they fumbled their greatest most iconic athlete.
98% of the shoes have been trash however.
I think he’ll go with a Chinese brand or new balance .
I don't comment usually, but I was praying you two would talk about the Morris twins' comments and I physically jumped in my chair when I heard Verno bring it up
“Very beatable” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who wears Under Armour or Anta these days?
Klay Thompson? He's killing it in Dallas.
Great show gents. Thank you
At this point it's only baffling to me how anyone still calls him "Hartensteen" when they all can say Marc Stein's name correctly. For fuck's sake.
Jacoby, the word you were looking for is Synergy
As a pelicans fan pls go back and watch both spurs losses and the clippers loss and watch his rotations and clock management. He lets runs go on continuously and his rotations are so bad one time I watched karlo zion and yves and herb on the floor at the same time. Pls Ik as a franchise people think we’re a joke but he’s the joke. He can’t get his own players open and bi even said it.
Isn't one of the Jokic brothers an MMA fighter? They do weird fights like this in Russia all the time. Eddie Hall did a 2v1 fight against a pair of twitter troll brothers and knocked them both out. I'm down for the 2v2, and I'm going all-in for the Jokic brothers.
The Jokic love was cut too short! You both have to actually watch Jokic vs Clippers.
The Thunder haven’t even had either of their last two 1st round picks on the floor yet.
Verno, this OKC squad isn’t on the same level as the Durant Warriors. Just stop it bro please!!
Chris Paul going out like this is proof that the basketball gods exist. That's why they saddled him with spectacular failures in playoffs over and over again.
Karma is a bitch and she's had her eyes on him for a long time.
Go Karma!!!
Chris Paul has been terrible for the league in so many ways and deserves to go out this way.
great pod, love vernon!
Verno is breaking in real time 31:38
Verno channeling Dr. Thunder and I'm here for it.
Jaden was doing this all last spring as well, Everyone worried about the wolves losing NAW forget how good Jaden is.
Jacoby is right 1:00:56 the Curry 1&2 were slickkkkkk and a great hoop shoe
Great show as always!
Jokić brothers would annihilate the Morris twins
Cam Johnsons had been a massive disappointment, and that includes building in injury excuses. I'm already ready for them to trade him.
Other teams ARE circling their Thunder games on the calendar, but not because they're looking forward to it…
The only reason you're hearing about people not talking enough about Keenan Allen is people trying to cut down Herbert as having great receivers. Keenan and McConkey are without a doubt the slowest top 2 receivers on any team in the NFL. Imagine if Herbert had Chase and Higgins
Morris twins just doing some post career grifting now that the money is slowing up. They have ALWAYS been clowns and they will FOREVER be CLOWNS
LBJ for Davis
OKC went 7 with the pacers and nuggets with a hurt J duub so we wasn’t at our best last year
You two are the best. Jacoby I'm happy u found a new home.
Jacoby and Verno giving the people what they want
Go from 12 to 18. I'll bet his minutes have gone up. More minutes mean more shots. Powell leaped because the Clippers gave him minutes. Most improved players are guys that suddenly are getting more minutes. Look at Mitchell in OKC. Everything he's doing is up. Why? More minutes. You go from 8 minutes to 25.
I'm now going to buy some Under Armour gear. Perfect time as I need some shorts.
1:04:20 Bron off that rosé talking like a warped tour girl😂
It’s not the big Jokic they need to fear. The little one is a professional fighter
I think the small one off them had some mma fights.
