the white stripe hipster Vernon doesn't know the definition of "Schizophrenic"?—The least surprising thing in the world—8:45 minute mark
Always a pleasure fellas
Rylan Stiles summed up OKC-Cle perfectly & said "The small-ball works & for some reason Kenny Atkinson 'bends the knee' to Mark Daigneault & goes small"
Jalen Green is part Filipino–Smiling at you could me they going to destroy you—33:24 minute mark
They spent 3 minutes talking about "the rematch"
The jealousy Chris has towards OKC is crazy yall
Probably only raptor fan listening and I appreciate it 😂
I'd like Derrick White more if he spelled his name right or ppl pernounced Derr-rick
White also had 0 reb that game… overrated.
Verno definitely hates White! Own it Verno! It's all good. I've been a Grizzlies fan since they traded Bibby for Williams.
Jacoby nailed it on the Brooks call.
Review clock for refs is the best idea I’ve heard from any podcast or media member. Absolutely LOATHE that the refs get to do this with almost no limit or impunity.
Charles Barkley said it best, “No one is watching these games for the refs and technical fouls.”
Same concept applies to reviews, just let the teams run thier game for the LOVE of GOD!
Stop throwing ice on exciting games.
Chris "and so" vernon
"This is based on no inside information" 😂
lol Jacoby has already forgotten that Jordan owned the Charlotte team while he did his whole NBA soliloquy
😂😂always enjoyed Jacoby, liking Vernon as well.
I loathe Tom Thibs. Fire him already.
Sitting on recreation is incredible.
Lebron wants the Vegas expansion team, likely backed with Saudi money. This is a negotiating ploy, give me the Vegas team, or we start a rival league.
Dillian Brooks most definitely fouled Fox before the inbound. He grabbed his wrist and pulled Fox out of the way so he could jump in front of the pass
Congratulations on dry January Jacoby…
Reed doesn't get playing time anymore because he doesn't deserve it. He had the back up pg spot but did nothing with it. He was playing with lack of confidence/overthinking.
Dr Marvin Monroe killing it.
No one would watch a league run by lebron except for liberals and black folk.
The Derrick White hate on this episode is weird.
Jacoby will be a huge Ja'Kobe fan soon…
#1. The thing about the Celtics is they depend heavily on shooting 3s. It's a double edged sword. When the 3s are falling they can beat anybody. On the flipside when the 3s arent falling they can lose to anybody.
#2. I wouldn't be mad if Bron really start this other ball league. Maybe the competition forces the NBA to improve their product.
#3. As a Nets fan that Clipper game was def a tank job makeup for the previous win against Portland. Had the G League team out there.
The ref from the rockets kings game should now be at the bottom of the list for playoffs. That was insane.
What do you mean it's not a foul? The ref looked at the replay, saw the jersey tug and kept the correct call. The Ringer hates the Kings so much they don't even want correctly called fouls in favor of the Kings, unreal.
