Ahh man, you guys are by far my favorite hosts on this. Pat has the best vibe! Best of luck in the future.
All Respect and love to Pat but boi ima miss him😢😭 I hope we get some more swipa on Thursday
Pat.. we gonna miss you!
Man why do you guys really be sleeping on Sac/hating? I get if you think they can be a 10 seed but if you don't think Sabonis is a top 20 player in the NBA you're just not paying attention. Nick just has negative ass tones about the whole team the entire time.
Production wise he's better than Kyrie so how can you say he's not better than Kyrie right now?
By the numbers:
Domantas Sabonis is 24th in the NBA in Defensive Rating.
He’s top 10 in defensive rating among centers.
His defensive rating of 112.5 compares favorably to top ranked defensive team players like Derrick White (112.1), Giannis Antetokounmpo (111.7) , Jaden McDaniels (111.5) and Nic Claxton (111.0).
Sabonis is 11th in the NBA in defensive win shares.
Sabonis is 5th in defensive box plus/minus.
Sabonis is 2nd in the NBA in defensive rebounding percentage and secured 78 more total defensive rebounds than any other player in the NBA.
Domantas Sabonis made tremendous strides this season as a defender after a summer of working with Coach Christie. He’s never going to be a big time shot blocker, but he defends well and controls the defensive glass better than any player in this league.
Trae Young's comment is a bad joke. He'd need to exceed Magic. Lmao! If 'bro was 6'8? He'd be Josh Giddey at best and Ben Simmons at worse. But "the best player ever" because he taller? Lmao! So long, Pat! See you back soon enough!
Bro's take on the Dame trade is so silly lmao. You know he doesn't actually watch the Bucks calling Jrue one of the best scorers in the league. Is that why the Miami Heat ignored him at the 3pt line? Dame won a playoff game on one leg in one half.
