NBA Power Rankings: Warriors TOP 5, Lakers & Suns FAST STARTS, Cavaliers ON FIRE | Hoops Tonight

1. Boston & OKC should be 1/2. The Cavs are really good, getting the benefit of having a good HC now in Atkinson

2. Ur talking point about the warriors how they were bad at the tail end of last year is actually false. They won like 15 straight road games at the end of last year. Don’t rlly know what you were talking about there.

3. The way Jason describes this Warriors reminds me of the Warriors team w David Lee. Except they are a bit smaller now. Almost every player have almost the same asset: defense, passing, movement, shoot, slip & receive passes for easy layups, run… a great idea/strategy: Circus/Globetrotter the enemy for 48 minutes until they are worn down… get lots of open outside and inside shots… use pace and percentages to win a lot of games. Use opponent fatigue to win Championships. No need for super big 7 footer scorer, no need for high leaping iso scoring super star ball hog.

   *asterisk I don't care if Jason T. likes to boost his favorite team. It's his channel and it's better watching that other places where hating and fake agendas… using almost zero basketball knowledge outside of reading 1 week's worth of stats … give you stupid takes on teams and players. There was a time I tell everyone I'm sure Warriors will win a Championship (that was the year Steph had Oubre & Bazemore haha okay laugh at me…).

4. You clearly didn’t watch the suns last year.

   BALL PRESSURE WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE.

5. Mailbag: HEY what's up Jason. I love the show and I continue to watch. Been a while since I dropped a mailbag question but here I am. I'm a warriors fan and I am happy to say i was right that we are a good team. I am just worried we win too many games before the deadline to the point we don't make a trade and also im not sure what star would be available for us to trade for since it feels like everyone is locked into their team and or already got traded. Who should we look at to trade for? We are 1 move away as I been saying and I just hope we make the 1 move. Thanks!! (Sorry for it being a long read😂)

6. His love of Lebron is so irrational.

7. OKC has played against a better schedule than the Cavs and no one has been within ten points of them, even though the starters have only been playing half of the fourth quarter. He just doeant like OKC. Then he just glosses over OKC and how great their defense has been and just says yeah their undefeated. He just needs to come out and say im so biased. Didnt even spend two minutes and didnt talk about the records theyve broken. Then he mentions that their schedule is light but they beat Denver at home by 20+ and beat Houston who he has in the top 10.

8. Again yu not qualified to say what saying Gsw just won finals 2022 with basic team u just i hype follower Dallas Denver Minnesota Lakers not good like last year u measuring Gsw from last year but, measuring these teams from last year…New years ..wake up!

9. Cavs LOL Celtics are much better

10. how are lakers top 6? brooo

11. Light schedule? Thunder have played 7 games in 12 nights, including trips to Portland and to LA.

12. Yeah this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

13. ja ovareting book it

14. Hello Jason, im not a Mavs fan but obviously i watch the nba so my question is that while the offense is good, i'm still worried that the Mavs are exploitable on defense because Luka and kyrie can't guard if you put them in the P&R as Boston showed us in the finals and Klay is not the same all NBA defender after his Acl and Achilles tear so he is a weak defender, what do the mavs need to do on defense so they can make a run at the NBA finals, thanks as always and appreciate your analysis!

15. Once again Jason not saying anything negative about Lebron!

16. Draymond Green hit more threes than Jordan Poole last night 😮

17. don't have the celtics behind the cavs in your power rankings when there's no chance in hell you'd ever pick the cavs over the celtics in a playoff series.

18. Celtics are not number 1? Are you serious? Wow idc if cavs are 10-0 to start the year Celtics are best team in basketball.

19. Love the Warrior team, they're so interchangeable but I agree they need an inside presence. Would love to see a trade for Zion. Don't care for trades for Butler or BI.

20. Umm u seem to have the cavs over celtics

21. Lakers would be so much better if they started Bronny. Generational talent who’s already better than most NBA players, but he can’t get any minutes. What gives? JJ is gonna ruin him. 😂🤣☠️

22. jerry stackhouse saved the warriors defense

23. Celtics not 1 huh lol

24. Grizz top 10??? Really??

25. Mailbag question
    You say tyus jones don’t matter but the players say otherwise bringing the ball up and initiating offense is underrated tyus doing it allows book and kd to concentrate on what they do best I thinks it’s extremely important especially when you factor in the playoffs when teams are more aggressive defensively picking up 94 Etc so do you agree this can be an upside in the playoffs even though the numbers don’t say it it helps
