So so point guard? Idiotic take
I swear I can listen to Coach Thorpe breakdowns all day long.
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
David Thorpe is the worst, SO LONG WINDED.
Derek White not better than Jrue Holiday
Refreshing commentary, even if I don't agree, great job actually analyzing, both guys, well done
Dope convo
Lakers have no chance against the Grizzlies.
Warriors repeat
Lowe is actually ESPNs best. That says alot with all the former players they have.
Why are these guys talking like the grizzlies are the underdogs lol
luka NEVER plays forward and putting a player in the wrong spot is just stupid and shoud get the vote removed the next year – not only are your vote is not countig for the one you want to vote for because no other will pick the player with the wrong position it also hurts the player who really derseves your pick and dont get it
great convo! how about the Mike Brown factor in the Warriors/Kings series? that's def a Kings advantage. Mike Brown was deeply entrenched in the whole Warriors machine
Quickley clearly over Brogdon?!
-Average the same amount of points
-Brogdon more efficient from 3 and 2.
– brogdon more assist
-brogdon on 2nd best team in league.
Jaden ivey is a first team all rookie over Mathurin…. and don't give me that BS team stuff.. it's about individual numbers…
Lol they playing in my face talking about the lakers being old and tired, only players on the team over 30 are bron and ad (ad only just turned 30). They played 24 games in 48 nights. Teams are tired at the end of the regular season oh well. That play in game was played like a game 7 of a series with random players going off for both teams. You can’t go off one game, especially a play in game. Grizz should be favored but so they even watch basketball? Zach Lowe gets a vote on NBA awards and don’t know anything about any teams he’s covering?
If it goes 7 they are losing. Memphis better handle business in 6. I still trust the old man for ONE game.
DLo didn't play a lot bc he struggled in the game
Why is everyone acting like the Lakers are some super old team? They actually got significantly younger at the trade deadline. Everyone on the team is in their 20s outside of LeBron and AD & AD JUST turned 30.
GP2 Donte Kuminga Wiggins Klay Green Looney Lamb so many great defensive pieces
Nah drop against the Warriors is a really poor strategy
How could Gordon guard KD? Are they mixing up Eric Gordon with Aaron Gordon?
I like how theyre talking about youth being a factor like the Lakers are old af. The oldest guy on the laker team is Lebron (38). The next oldest guy? AD at 30 years old. Laker hate is real lmao
Davion Mitchell is gonna get a lot of minutes against the Warriors. And sorry but Loony ain't even close to the level that Sabonis is. If the Kings win this series they could make it through the 2nd round too.
thank you so much for giving some love to Tari Eason. – rockets fan
How do you put Jimmy Butler with 22 points and 8th seed over Jaylen Brown. Ridiculous
Pumped now! LET'SGOOOOOOOOOO!!!
lowe wants to pick LA so bad lmao. anyway tho w podcast
Luka getting better rankings than guards that made the playoffs as high seeds is CRAZY
Monk murray barnes huerter need to step up. They pretty much need 3 out of 4 of these guys to have their a-game. If that happens, kings come out with it. But it's asking a lot
