Love how Joel is acting like he’s been backing the Pelicans all season and hadn’t given up on them after like 5-10 games. Drew the real Goat cause he’s the only one that knew they’d be tough even after a slow-ish start. In general love seeing the Pelicans prove everyone wrong. They’ve even gone above my own expectations, I feel like I’m in a dream
I also can’t believe people still get Jonas wrong for JV, it’s a silent J gah damn. he’s not a Jonas brother
LeBron is A overrated defense Pierce KD Kawhi PG-13 Terry Kawhi all exposed him on defense
Giannis has other great defenders with him Jrue Holiday & Brook Lopez
For them to be on the pelicans like this so early is laughable if they meet the warriors the way the warriors adapt in the playoffs like are you serious it's going to hurt them when they don't show up
The Warriors will pick on Zion on screen & rolls
OG clears Bridges as a 2 way. I agree with Riv, Bridges doesn’t move me
2:19:25 fucking clown
all y'all do is disrespect the Grizzlies on this show. smh!
joel has to be the definition of flip a side😭 This man just argued with everyone that with KD playing with how he is there’s a chance. Then they ask if the Nets are contenders and he says no 😂 But then continues to argue that they have a chance if everything happens correctly for them…. is that not the case for any NBA team? Like whats the point of that whole argument saying KD can give them a chance? A chance at what?😂 You just said they at best are the #3 in the East . So if they aren’t number one, you said they aren’t contenders what exactly are you arguing to say bro 😭😭😭 He be flipping every conversation so he can go back later and be like see i told you so 😂
Im with Riv, Zion has done nothing at all in the post season and Donovan Mitchell has a bit of real estate there
1:44:30 sorry man but I've been a Suns fan since the 90's and even I know this team ain't going anywhere. The thing that hurts most about watching this season is knowing now more than ever how much of a perfect fit Luka would have been for the Suns and frankly vice versa. 55th season for this franchise and we're a 1st/2nd round exit at best. And yes I agree with y'all that the Suns bitching about that dunk is so WEAK. The biggest thing I'm thrilled about going forward is the new ownership coming in. All of these Suns fans shouting for Booker to be MVP are fooling themselves. I thank Chris Paul for everything he did for the franchise too but he's washed. What CP3 did during 2021 and 2022 were beyond impressive especially at his age but the second he turned 37 something changed 🤣
When Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are on the court together, they have an offensive rating of 121.8. That’s better than Boston’s offense which is the greatest of all time right now.
i like jose he nice to me
KD Top 5 even if you hate him
Joel…Jesus christ It's VanderBilt not VanderVilt get it right my dude!
The most hated team in NBA is hands down the gsw every fan base hates y'all we want y'all to lose every game
Idk no Bam two way love is wild. Elite defender averaging 20+
I did stop watching ngl I could’ve missed
Can you do a collab with Three Cone he is a great youtuber i will keep asking until i get a reply
Tatum struggles against The Warriors against
Riv going hard. But lets just wait til at least the trade deadline
The Pels need to play Zion and Brandon Ingram like how the bucks play ginnas and khris middleton
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way about Lavine. People act like the Heat can’t get him he’s not worth much just a bunch of picks at this point and a young player for the swap. Heat & Knicks would be better with him I wanna see him on the Heat, Bulls need to punt on this season let Lonzo get 100% and choose between Lavine & Demar to ship out with Vuc
Good looks for the Maine s/o my guys! PAS!
You guys are gonna be at or over a 100k subs before the finals
Teams get hot and you can go to a cf. and next year they are not the same cause its a fluke thats the definition not regular
MY CHARGERS JUST BEAT THE DOLPHINS AND HERBERT WENT THE FUCK OFFFF
Ur buggin Joel my nets ain’t giving up all that for no damn bojan bogdanovic
Nets have the best starting five??? after one week of them winning some games the d1ck sucking is crazy
Having clippers as a play-in team is absolutely crazy💀
Luka or Tatum has done enough to be the best player’s in the league but they among the best gotta give credit where credit is due
Warriors own the Celtics
Drew please stop saying KD is the greatest scorer ever, and yes Luka better this season not all time.
“Relax pumpkin” 😭
Tatum is the best player on the best team. Bt he is not top 5 right now. Kd, Curry, Luka, Giannis, Jokic. No order. AD can’t enter this convo til the Lakers are .500
Bro they kept jumping down rivs throat over the pels lmao
This dude in the back stay going after Memphis lmaooo thought you knew better by now kings will get gentleman swept by Memphis 🫵🏼🤡
I’m a big fan of the pod but respectfully, No the Giannis-AD “convos” will not “be open again”. Giannis been averaging at least 27/10/5 for the last 5 years, he’s one of if not the only player ever to average that stat line for 4 years let alone 5 (mind you, from the 2019-2020 season till now he’s been even better than 27/10/5, that’s just what he averaged his first mvp year). Not to mention he’s one of if not the only player to be unanimously first team all nba for 4 years in a row (and it’s abt to be 5 years in a row) and he’s one of the only players ever to be first team all nba while also being first team all defense for 3+ years in a row. Also I’m takin the guy whose better at getting to his own spots and getting his own buckets while still being dominant as a big man (Giannis) over the guy who is most dominant while being fed the ball by a distributor (AD). Giannis has been better than AD since the 2018-2019 season, sure AD performed better in the bubble but he had Lebron fucking James feeding him the ball whose arguably the best playmaker and player of all time. only delusional ass lakers fans was sayin he’s better than Giannis sorry. Whether I want a floor raiser or a ceiling raiser I want Giannis especially if I want a floor raiser. It is what it is
Zion & Tatum Is Tuff , But I Might Have To Take Tatum I Love Zion Tho So Tomorrow I Might Take Zion 😂😅
AD is not the best defensive player in the league. Jaren Jackson jr is averaging over 3 blocks a game… stop the bias
Luka outplays KD every time they play, watch some basketball please.
Baker to the Cardinals makes sense
Where does LBJ rank nowadays??
Thanks for some bball content finallly
I like the pod but there are a few takes I’d disagree with. One is AD, I don’t understand this love affair with Anthony Davis, his last two years have been average at best when available. He’s played well the past few weeks, but how good or impactful can he be when his team is multiple games below .500 and in 13th place last time I looked? Doesn’t make sense
