  3. I here.. I viewed.. I doin' my part!

    Edit: Warriors dont have anyone with a huge ego, so i think going 12 deep will work.. factor in injuries and the occasional rest for Steph n Dray.. 'Going 12 deep' is doable.. just have to have the right people, which i feel they do (bunch of youngsters who dont know any better and vets who've made their money and just want to win now).. Now you could argue Draymond has a big ego (he does, no doubt), but he's been paid and the JP3 stuff is behind him, so I wouldn't worry about him.. THe only one I'd worry about in that regard is Kuminga.. He wanted something like $40m/yr for his extension LOL.

    The kid can score, no doubt. He's gifted as anyone on the block in the last 10 years. Impeccable feetwork (hi shaq), but with high-end athleticism and above avg hops.. His biggest detriment is his defensive awareness.. his on ball defense (his man has the ball or is the screener in PnR) is okay, it's off the ball where he gets caught ball watching and his man cuts backdoor or flares to the 3pt line and he doesnt know it.. It's the #1 reason he doesnt play more (and is helpful in finding who the real hoop fans are, because the casuals dont see the defensive issues, lol).. oh and he fouls EVERYONE.. had something like 3 fouls in 8 minutes or something.. agianst portland… cmon man..

  15. It’s kinda crazy that Minnesota would break up their big man duo that’s what made them so dangerous was that size now not so much we shall see how they do but I think both teams may have taken a step back from last year

  24. This clown was the one saying philly had the best summer and contenders in the east. Within one week where PG is hurt already and Embiid hurt as normal, now hes trying to walk it back. Thats why he is the biggest schmuck basketball talker around. And they fired Zach Lowe and kept this clown around

  26. Only injuries can stop the Celtics this season. They lost 4 times total in the playoffs last season. Don't see anyone beating them 4 times in 7 games. Not if Tatum and Brown are both healthy.

  28. Listening to this on YouTube to allay MacMahon's concerns, but guys, you gotta get me a way to subscribe on YouTube without subscribing to literally all ESPN-NBA content. I don't like all of it, so I'm not going to subscribe to all of it. Podcasts do let me do let me subscribe granularly, which is a big reason I enjoy them.

  31. Bontemps will forever be a Sixers/Embiid glazing clown, so pathetic. And the hate for the Knicks is so clear. Just admit you're biased af.
