Carzy😂they don’t even watch the games😂. Only the highlights.
Seeing/hearing Nick lose his mind after the "who's the third best player on the Nets" question, is absolute gold. I'm dying 🤣
These three guys are just the best. They are perfect working alongside each other.
I just want less screechy voice.
Chris "Prisoner of the Moment" Broussard
That doesn't follow, being that he's the only one who still believes in the Nets even though they just lost with Ben Simmons playing poorly for the first 3 games. "Prisoner of the Moment" title will be more correctly used to describe Nick in this situation, don't you think?
Bro L skrate up the fuq wrong with you
fact
It’s the opposite lol he’s literally standing with them after a loss
😂😂😂😂
Broussard when the 3 game stats are in his favor: “doesn’t matter if it’s 30 games or 3 games”
When they’re not: “oh well it’s only 3 games, give it time” LOL
And then giving excuses for Giannis and Luka to go off on Ben. If he's a good defender, he should get them to below their averages.
i’m more impressed that he even mentioned the Raptors, let alone in a positive way
@@Hobo613 🦖🏀
“Find new players” … “Have Anthony Davis Healthy” Nicks condescendence is unmatched on this one 😂😂😂
Theyre all contradicting themselves🤣🤣
Part 1
Cb: if theres a leading mvp in 30 games why cant there be in 3 games
**later on**
Nw: ben is the worst player getting the most minutes
Cb: its 3 GAMES!!!!💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Part 2.
Nw: idc if its 6yrs ago. Thats the only time weve seen kyrie work
**later on**
Cb: ben is one of the best defensive player he been a first team all nba
Nw: thats years ago!💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@spelwurdsrite6756 that’s not what that word means 😅
It was almost unbearable gave me a slight racist vibe idk why😅 and kw
Find someone who stans you the way Broussard stans the Nets.
how is he stanning? he literally just said they lost to a really good team memphis & the fact they need a new coach who knows how to coach & coaches defense because nashs only technique as a coach is to give kd or kyrie the ball and score to win and they could be a good team
Nick Stans Lebron so what’s the difference
*Next Year Nets 😂
What does Stan mean ?
@@nickreyes1725 it’s another word for obsessed
People still giving Ben Simmons the 'rust' card. Anyone see Zion's first game back against Simmons? He'd been out for longer than Simmons and was a bigger doubt in terms of his weight and fitness. Yeah, nah.
Good and valid take.
People just don’t wanna admit that he’s trash🤷🏾♂️
I more surprised ben Simmons hasnt found another reason not to play!
😂😂😂
Fouling out is a way to stop playing :)
He will, his MO is quiting when things get hard.
Come on that’s not fair, give him until the allstar break.
Hello come up with something soon
The Nets got swept by the Celtics in round 1. All these talking heads thought adding Ben Simmons made them the favorites 😂
Chris : the closet sweep ever
Nick’s up there looking like Hans Gruber from Die Hard
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Lmao I cannot unsee it now 👀
3 games into the season and we already have an lead MVP candidate smh ain’t that something 😁
I agree with Nick on this one. I am sick and tired of hearing, "Nobody has seen a back court like KD and Kyrie. The league should bow before their greatness." All I know is their greatness hasn't produced anything and Ben isn't rusty, he's just a player that wants no stress placed on him. He doesn't like basketball. He likes what basketball gets him. Money. Ability to chase IG thots. If he could have that and have no one stress him out, he'd be in heaven.
That's perfectly explains Ben, KD, and Kyrie...and Harden really. That's EXACTLY why KD, Kyrie and Harden all wanted to play with each other.
I don't mind that Ben doesn't love the game
I mind that he thinks his game is perfectly fine and the critics are idiots. I mind that he isn't professional enough to develop his game and play hard.
I think if Giannis only loved basketball for the money - he did grow up in Europe and was discovered playing soccer - he's still be 90% of what he is now. And that's still a player worth a max contract.
Wouldn’t we all like the things basketball brings Ben w/out the stress
I love the new setup! And it being just them 3 talking. And agree with Nick on Simmons, don't expect much lol
Chris pick the Broncos and the Nets... is it like a curse?
He's not a good gambler, thats for sure.
@@paulryan6269 he is very stubborn too. Always goes with his heart instead of his brain.
@@persistentlypathetic6820 exactly. He is not shrewd and calculating. Lets his emotions choose for him.
@@persistentlypathetic6820 Wouldn´t say with "heart", cause that means he likes the Nets. The thing is Nets are one of these annyoing (that comes from my heart) teams, which the media focus on. They have KD and Kyrie, two superstar calibers, which encourage folks to pick the Nets on and on => stubborn
Didnt he pick phoenix and the nets last year too. Two teams that stunk it up in the playoffs
Chris literally will go down with the Ben simmons ship. As a Sixers fan he's been this player his whole career
Yes
The Nets are just playing pick up ball. They don’t even have a coach, Steve Nash is just their babysitter.
That’s what the “superstars” wanted. They gotta show and prove now
We dont need a coach.
@@Geeandrezzi ummm you know Kd wanted Nash fired right…
@@pereisjo878 originally, they wanted Nash. Which is why he got hired…..
Ben Simmons has found a way to not get hated in by being God Awful in the 4th qtr. He fouls out. He doesn’t have to play the entire 4th and people will say he plays hard defense and gets bad calls. He’s found a way to quit on his team without being called out for it.
We know Lakers fans wanted Russ to do that (foul out) in the 4th quarter... Simmons, showing Russ what to do, I guess...
😅
Can’t lie this show has REALLY grown on me. I’ve been watching since CC and Jenna so to see the growth is really dope to see.
Like how Chris was talking about how they’re the favorites because of their roster in the off season, when KD was tryna get outta there… Then say’s they need to get some more size, etc…

Can we agree how long ago something can be valid for? Is 4 years too long ago or is 7? Lol.
Bruh stop shmokin that kerk what is you talkin bout???
@@PM-wp6ze you must have a comprehension problem
@@devontacosby8593 casual
Simmons was a good perimeter defender on smaller players. He was never good against bigger players on the box. He’s tall, not big or physical. This year so far he can’t guard anyone. Him and Durant are at bottom of the league on defensive efficiency but it’s early.
It's too long ago, if it's not happening anymore. In sports, as Shannon Sharpe would say, you always need to update your resume.
"He's Rusty!"🤣🤣🤣🤣😳🤣
So funny and overlooked
He’s been rusty since college then
Ben Simmons will have the most fouls by time season ends if he keeps it up 😂😂😂
Nick was fire from 01:00 to 01:30 😂😂😂
Why do they awkwardly look at the camera all the time throughout the show?🤣
Those are the sections when they're looking at or showing the highlights/reels that are normally shown on the network. They don't have the rights to show them on YT (compare with the bootleg posters). Same happens on Undisputed. It always look weird so I'm surprised they just don't add something in place of like stats/boxscore.
@@benjaminloudly I meant more like at 4:28 when Nick constantly keeps turning to the camera (and holds eye contact with the viewers like he’s held at gunpoint lmao)
Lmao 👀
@@leetraviusmckay2.066 he's looking at the screen wildes says this is a silly foul meaning they're showing a play

The new setup is so good
Chris picks the Nets every year to come out of the East. If he lives long enough eventually he'll be right.
😂😂😂
I can still feel Wright's desperation to move on from Russ.
What happened to the highlights and clips they showed?
Broussard is the best
Nets should pickup boogie and Dwight
Aggressive-ness= aggression
Someone mind telling me if first thing first an afternoon show now? Haven't seen them in morning except on their own podcast
Yes, they got moved to the afternoon.
3 games in ... Calm down... How is Chris already stamping Morant as MVP
But he can stamp the crooklyn nets winning it all seems like you ok with that one! Make it make sense
Nick was in rare form on this one... Brou was flustered
3:10 Chris Got Nick with Straight logic and he is all over the place for Lebron 😂😂😂
The white guy should have his own sitcom. He looks like a character in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Nick doesn't understand that defense is the last piece of the puzzle for a player who has been out. Analytics take a bow.
Ben Simmon is way worse than Westbrook He can't make a free throw
Ben is better and way more valuable than Westbrook
@@_will795 😂😂😂Ben Simmons is not even respected in the NBA. Ben Simmons never won MVP like Westbrook. Ben can’t guard fr & gets BULLIED. Ben Simmons is SOFT & SCARED To shoot. Westbrook might miss, but everyone knows he is NOT scared at all. You don’t know basketball
@@Badlandz Ben Simmons can’t guard? He was runner up for dpoy..
I get what both sides are saying. On the one hand (Broussard), it's too early and aggressive fouling and comments mean Simmons is serious about making progress the season. On the other hand (Wright), by saying Simmons is the 3rd best player on the team, we are babying him and also not holding NBA players accountable for their level of play that we expect them to be at, but rather excusing mediocrity
Love this show
No you love yo momma know whatm saying?
I'm with Nick on this one if you haven't played good in over a year and you're not hampered by injuries that's you and your skill set
Broussard found somebody that like to cut people off mid sentence as much as he do 😅😅😅😂
Gosh, I love Nick Wright, man! Pure pleasure to watch.
Nets third best player is 100% Nic Claxton. No debate.
He has been playing well for them. He needs to be better and more consistent through all 4 quarters.
Grizzlies lost by 40 vs the Mavs a couple of days ago
Yea on a back to back..

Chris acting like Kyrie wouldn’t be better with the Lakers is asinine
He won’t this isn’t 2016.
@@Newportnews98 thanks idiot we all have a clock. The notion that kyrie somehow wouldn’t fit on a team that needs exactly what he brings is insane regardless if it’s 2018, 2016, 2022, 2020, whatever. Would they win a championship? No. But he would undoubtedly fit better in LA and you’re delusional to not see that
Brou: We can pick a leading MVP candidate 3 games in.
Nick: Nets has the worst defense in the league.
Brou: It's 3 games in!
Nick Wright " Kyrie with Lebron works "
Chris " it was years ago
" Simmons had good years with Philly " Chris
Nick " It was years ago"
Nick is right. cased closed.
No way broussard picked the nets to come out the East with no bench and Steve Nash coaching
They need to trade Ben asap before his value drops more than what it is already game by game dropping 💀
To what suckers this time?
Ben Simmons is intentionally fouling out to avoid throwing up bricks at the free throw line late in games🧱
Ben gonna set the single season record for most games fouled out. That is if he doesn’t just flat out quit again.
Nick is such a joke. Kyrie has played all the games so far and led the Nets in points, rebounds, steals, and blocks last night.
But he right about BEN SIMMONS
Broussard is living proof that daily, over-produced, contrived media coverage dilutes good coverage/analysis.
As a guest he was always on point, had great analysis, had a better view on the game..
As a regular hes become swept up in the churn and has become a characatur and a prisoner of the moment for entertainment purposes
Simmons is a poor shooter who's left open most of the time, whoever is supposed to guard him becomes a help defender against KD & Kyrie. This makes him force the issue, he then gets called for offensive fouls and turns the ball over.
The Brooklyn Nets are not a good basketball team. They have a lot of great players but they do not mesh well as a unit at all.
It’s literally KD and Kyrie hero ball every possession while the other team just moves the ball and get a easy shot every time.
Not even a lot they have one and a half. Kyrie is a great skill and talent but idk about great player
@@joshuajames3453 when he’s locked in and he doesn’t have to be the number 1 option he’s a great player just in a different tier
@@joshuajames3453 Kyrie is a great player. Players say he's a great player. You're a loser on your couch regurgitating what you heard the media said cause you're a mindless idiot. Of course Kyrie is a great player.
Honestly if the warriors still want to get off draymond this is the best time.. Nets seem done with him already and I think the warriors franchise can turn him into a dpoy candidate.. and draymond is a safer option to get the nets in contention right now with a defensive leader.. to me they can get it done draymond and 1st for simmons
Their not trading draymond for a player that scared to shot he may be a hot heat at time but he will make a basket when they need too. Plus Ben Simmons doesn't have the same passion that draymond has. You should watch what does for that team on a game to game basis before statement because if I was golden state I am not trading him.
Lol warriors will never trade away Draymond boss
To early guys just wait until April.
@@shwaynecox1602 I’m a huge gsw fan and haven’t missed a game since 2016.. been a fan since 2012.. just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn’t mean they haven’t watched… draymond’s value to the warriors in the past was his toughness, voice, playmaking, screen setting and most importantly versatility on defense.. ben simmons is a better playmaker and the last time we’ve seen him completely healthy he was a better and more versatile defender than draymond is currently… warriors don’t necessarily need draymond’s voice and toughness in the locker room since steph and steve kerr took more responsibility as the actual leaders of the team and they don’t need to be screamed at to play hard.. no one on this roster has said they go to draymond for advice or leadership.. wiseman is close to klay and looney , poole said steph and klay made him the player he is, moody looks to steve kerr, and wiggins gives his praise to andre and kerr for his growth…
actually it’s looking like draymond’s personality is causing the opposite effect for the young teammates on the warriors.. even with all of simmons struggles.. he’s younger than wiggins and entering his prime while draymond is exiting and threatening to leave if warriors don’t pay him a max which will be one of the worst contracts in nba in about 2 years which will undoubtedly cause warriors to lose some of their good young talent once it’s time for them to get contract extensions… that risk is with simmons as well but him at his peak we’ve seen is better than everyone on golden state not named Steph Curry or arguably andrew wiggins currently.. I think warriors are good enough right now to go through the period of rebuilding simmons confidence and turning him into the player we saw him 2 years ago which is a better scorer, paint protector, passer than 2022 draymond.. if you remember 2 years ago wiggins had even worse confidence than simmons and everyone said that was a bad trade.. now look
@@adriansmith2295 they were going to do it after kd issue, once warriors missed the playoffs in 2021 and considered it now
Nets need to not start Claxton and Simmons. Also anyone watching knows the player playing the best right now is Lillard.
Facts, and his team is 4-0
Nets have the worst defense in the league. They’ve given up over 130 points TWO TIMES IN A WEEK.
Brooklyn getting swept in a finals against Grizzlies wow
The media has no clue
It's not very practical to start critiquing Simmons so early. The guy hasn't played professional ball for over a year, and for part of that time he was nursing an injury. The sensible thing is to give it a few months before assessing where his game really is.
Nick didn’t know what to debate, Bru was roasting him haha
You trolling?..
Bru was literally losing this whole segment…..
Kind of, not in a malicious way though
the nets are so baaaaad chris , just stop
ben is even worse , i see why nick is going insane , chris is delusional
Speak the truth, Simmons might be rusty, but he's also not that good. A non rusty Simmons is still about the same offensively. And how can he be rusty defensively.
What an L for Broussard
I'm amazed Broussard even thinks Simmons is the third best player
They're missing the point. The Nets are actually putting forth WAY more effort on D than the last 2 years... the problem is REBOUNDING!!!! We CANT rebound. Check offensive rebounding. We give up so many extra possessions and 2nd and 3rd chance shots. We have no WEIGHT. Should have NEVERRRRRR got rid of Jarret
Nick, that hair bro. Cameron Poe it's not. It's more like a nerdy version of Serpico
While I don’t like Nicks idea that LeBronze is the goat I do love his “Next Year Nets” routine.
Let's see what Nets do when they get fully healthy. They're missing a good bit of scoring without Seth Curry and TJ Warren
Bro really said he doesn't need to work on his defense game to get better at defense. He just doesn't want to admit they are trash right now even if kyrie and KD score 30 pts each a game😂😂
Well.... At least Ben Simmons is on the court.
the east coast media tries to make the nets relevant so hard
Does anyone else hate the new windows in the CZcams clips? I'm about to stop looking, because of the disjointed visual format..
Finals and MVP Predictions after every game lol
Nash is from the Mike D'antoni style of play. No defense. Broussard thinking they will become good defensively is funny.
Nobody on the nets uses the weight room besides maybe Ben but he can’t shoot. Memphis was pushing them around easily without even leaning into a physical play style.
sometimes i really do hate these crunching numbers.
really
lakers 3rd in defense now but almost all offense stats-wise are all below or rock bottom? why?
hmm maybe because they opponents to this specific score.. so what, their score is still below from their opponents.
He is NOT that guy. When will the media learn. If he doesn’t have IT by now, he will never have it.
Forget those old stars, theres a new sheriff now in town. Its time for those old to set back and give way to youngsters
Nick talkin bout the first year in Boston is crazy. They were a top 3 seed. Wtf. He hates dude so bad lol...this segment was supposed to be about Ben.
Bruh Nick gotta learn how to gather and articulate his thoughts. Man’s mind is running at 1000 miles an hour and his mouth can’t keep up lmao
😄 hahah! Will love to watch the version of those games Chris is watching. The man say Kyrie had 6 great years since leaving Lebron. Nick is like "Did we wake up in a new universe"
If you watch this, you would think the Nets just got blown out and nobody on their team scored over 20.
You blame the coach in Brooklyn but you won't say nothing about Ham...we all know why....
Grizz backcourt scores 80+ thanks to Ben Simmons "great" defensive skills and expected zero offense. Lol.
I like this assumption across all of the media that players, just play terrible defense and can turn it on if they tried harder. If you are good on the offensive end, it means you are terrible on the defensive end simply becasue you dont try.
🗣️Go get DeMarcus Cousins Now
Chris always gets Nicki,leaves him looking like 🤡😃😀😆😁😄🤣
CB lost me with saying Kyrie had 6 great individual years. He played in like 30% of the games in that time. AMAZING!
Win a Finals ? No way. For me as a Bucks fan I am just trying to figure out if they are going to be good enough to effect the post season. The Nets would need Kyrie to play his best and KD to not just score but lead and Ben would have to be able to at least match Giannis just on defense and rebounding to then maybe have a chance at a finals. Ben is best at guarding smaller players....... Ben is tall enough that there should be no reason he can't guard the 4 , 5 spot , I just can't see how he will ever be able to be a legit player helping his team win again . It's still just insane to me that he didn't try and play in the post season last year.
Nick Wright makes himself look unknowable when it comes to basketball daily.
They got Broussard on this show strictly to disagree with Nick
