Mailbag: Hey Jason, with the success this past draft class is having I’m curious who do you think long term will pan out the best specifically between Flagg, Kon, and VJ (which is hard to predict) also who’s been your favorite rookie so far this season, thanks and keep up the good work.
Donovan Mitchell is so damn good
Goooo Raptorssss
Brown burst look gone out their kind of like in the beginning of the year like when brown was going crazy in December like he was dusting past those big like the Celtic need to rest brown like he obviously dealing with a hamstring injury and they brought it vs nets and back to back games didn’t help help that he have to rely on more difficult shots .If brown not 100 percent don’t play.
Your worst take ever. Castle over amen is absolutely bonkers. Not only is amen averaging 19 a game out of position but is arguably the defensive player of the year. You lost your damn mind. Not one GM would echo what you just said.
Still no Clippers.. WILD
Mailbag: what is your hair product? i NEED to know PLEASE!!!.
Hate on off numbers shit means little to nothing. It’s just another stat that people use because they don’t watch games or don’t know what they watching
Spurs cant hit spot up jumpers and their ‘untradable’ guards shooting sub 30% from 3. They fumbled Reed Sheppard, Kon, Ron holland, and VJ edgcomb. Sad.
Mailbag: Hey Jason love the show. Thank you for the great analysis. I think the nuggets have a dilemma. They have a great starting 5 who when healthy are as good if not better than any other starting 5. However, with the emergence of Peyton Watson I believe he could be the long term SF answer. I think the nuggets should extend him but with the cap that looks quite difficult whilst keeping the entire starting 5. My question is could/should the nuggets explore trading cam Johnson along with other bench pieces this summer if Peyton keeps doing what he's doing throughout the rest of the season and playoffs in order to be able to slot Peyton in at starting SF next season?
Nuggets stay at #3 may be brief. Still no word on Jokic–or other injured starters–coming back which is starting to get worrisome because the schedule is about to get murderous. They just finished a 5 games in 7 days stretch and are about to enter another 5 in 7. Thanks schedule makers! Except this time around they'll be playing Detroit twice, OKC, the Clippers and the Knicks on the road. Thanks schedule makers! What Denver has done over the past 6 weeks is miraculous but without a healthy lineup at some point the coach (the vehicle, not Adelman) is going to turn into a pumpkin.
Mailbag: Hey, Jason love your show, I’ve been following since the 23 season! My question is, do you think that Kawhi is peaking Offensively, at least in the regular season, he still has the ability to carve out a path to get to his spots inside 17ft but now his 3ptr has gone up a ton and his knocking them down! He’s really an unbelievable player especially considering all of the injuries. Again love your content man!!
KAT started the 3rd but got a quick foul to get to his 4th then Mitch went in
What Jason didn’t mention about the Celtics Bulls game is that the Celtics played a double overtime game the night before in Brooklyn. The Celtics were tired. That’s the reason they lost to Chicago. That’s it and that’s all.
There is no way in hell OKC should still be ranked #1 with recent losses to the 7 seed Miami Heat and the 14 seed Pacers. That’s honestly laughable.😂
Huh no pistons player in the thumbnail. Always include a Laker tho 😂
Mailbag: Hey Jason! Knicks fan here. I have been saying that the Knicks should trade KAT for a long time. I literally fell to my knees at my friends house when we traded Randle and Dontae for him. Knew it would never work. Do u think that trade or the bridges trade was more detrimental to the Knicks?
Mf the pistons are atop the power rankings
They’re not good enough to win without Cade dude those games they’ve won were against shitty teams and cases wrist is literally fine now he just said that in the postgame injury you’re late asf
This man will never not include the lakers in the top 10 lol
OKC's slump is only true if they are trying to be up with the team's like the Jordan Bulls and Steph Warriors. If not, they are diong absolutely fine with the season and will probably repeat.
Seahawks vs Patriots isn’t next week Sunday Jason 🤣
I vehemently disagree with the take that the Knicks are better without KAT. A player of that quality?! Mike Brown needs to use him better – put him in positions to succeed. That’s on the coach. That’s like saying the Lakers are better without Austin Reaves because they can play that stifling defence they showed against the Clippers in the 4th quarter. KAT would be great at Golden State too (Draymond beef aside), but you can’t tell me you’re better off without a player of that quality in order to win.
Huh no mention that celtics just came from dbl OT back to back
Hey Jason, do you plan on doing more film breakdowns this playoffs? I really liked the ones from last season
No suns is hilarious
27:59 Go SPURS Go!!!
How do you have the Fakers still in the top 10? Are you a Fakers fanboy? They aren't that good. They haven't played really good teams. Yeah, a win over the Nuggets but without the Joker. Most of the wins against the top 10 teams were last year.
