Listen to The Skip Bayless Show podcast: sprtspod.fox/SkipBaylessShowPodcast
Good thing Downvotes aren't tallied. Biff Payless is a joke w/o Shannon.
Skip is fighting for his life out here, now that Sharpe is gone.
No one wants to listen to him tho
Lebron has NO help!!!! He’s never had help in 25 years!!! He’s had the worse luck in nba history!!! 😂😂😂😂
Why?
Seeing Wildes so animated is always a blast. Go get 'em Wildes!
He is a tool. No talent no sports knowledge. Nick carries the show. Bruh is good. Wildest tries to hard to be funny
Go Get Em Wildes lol !!! 😅😅
Glad the show is doing so well you guys deserve all the recognition best sports show out rn
As the kids say... Facts
Best sports show at least the past year at minimum...
A show where a guy lies, rewrites history and states false narratives....that show!!
@allpraisestothemosthigh9418 it's a clown full of d riders not real anaylis
Nets were missing 3 starters AND their top scorer went down with an ankle injury AND their best player struggled offensively and they still made the clippers look silly.
Exactly. The amount of excuses the media makes for Lebron is outrageous
@@andrewchester3527what? 😆
@@andrewchester3527Yes, because LeBron is on the Clippers.
@@andrewchester3527 you need to get LeBrons d out your mouth. Wrong team wrong game wrong everything...
@@rubberduckiedogs😭😭🤦🏿♂️
Shaq Shaq was the greatest slip up ever
We need more trips to games with the trio. Imagine a wildes vlog at the garden
Nothing about the actual good game last night, Nuggets vs Warriors???
Unfortunately, It's not controversial enough for them.
Bro, Hachi scored 24 on 10-14 and 8 boards and they spent the entire time talking about Dillon Brooks who scored and grand total of 5 points. I come here for the entertainment not the sports analysis.
The Wemby stuff is crazy... he's a 19 y/o rookie. not even 10 games into his NBA career lol
Facts. People expecting wilt numbers from him every game as if this is his peak season😂😂😂
When you're annointed, the expectations are greater.
Look at all the other top prospects rookie years and he played 2 years pro already
No excuses LBJ is 38 and get criticized. The generation z are soft
They’re preparing for life after Lebron
This show is the best in the business, you can see the on set chemistry between the guys on and off camera, they went to a game together in their free time, what other show's hosts do anything together after work? That's just awesome
Oubre has been a difference maker for the 76ers.
Facts
I found this show during the undisputed break and man I’m happy I found it! These guys have good takes and they are funny too! It’s a very underrated show in my opinion.
I wish it was a 2 hour show and have them shorten undisputed
Nick Wildes and Brou is the best trio ever. Funniest show in sports TV. I hope the show lasts for the 30 years
I dunno man. Brou is pushing 60 lol
not funnier than inside the nba stop boosting
Have to give the Rockets some props, too, and, specifically, Ime Udoka. The guy has done a pretty great job of implementing a new system and culture in Houston and you can just tell from the demeanor of the Rockets players that the state of the locker room is healthier than it has been in years. FFV and Brooks have also been great additions for them as veteran presences for a very young team.
Who knows how the rest of the Rockets' season turns out, but they are looking to be a far more interesting team that is trying so much harder on both ends of the court than they ever did under Silas.
Bit unfair to Silas when he didn't nearly get that level of support from his FO in actually bringing proven vets like that in. His offensive system is something the Mavericks still miss dearly
@@BubblesBub434 The Rockets also didn't have the cap space to do so, so that's a moot point.
The problem with Silas was that he never held anyone accountable and misused players constantly. The misuse can be explained in part by the fact the team was tanking, but you just never saw him actually get mad or assertive with guys when they failed to execute. You'd literally watch guys miss their man or chuck up bad shots and Silas would be standing in front of the bench wuth an expression of "Oh, ok. That wasn't good."
As a contrast, the Rockets had a great start to a game recently (believe it was their second game against the Kings), they pulled out to a big lead, and Ime still called a timeout and started getting animated with guys because they weren't executing as well as they could be.
There's just a dramatically higher standard being set by Udoka than there was with Silas and it's not even close. Silas was the wrong coach for a young, developing team and the way he benched guys like Sengun was basketball malpractice. I think he's a good man who was brought in for one Rockets team only to get the rug pulled out from under him by having to coach a completely different kind of Rockets team, but he was awful during his tenure in Houston.
@@SkyJW15accurate. Definitely agree that it wasn’t a very fair situation for coach, the team he was hired to coach was Russ & Harden before all the trades. A team with proven veterans, intense personalities and high expectations. Within starting his first training camp, and first 2 weeks of the season, the team went the complete opposite direction and traded everyone but Eric Gordon, and started intentionally tanking. Not what he signed up for. But I agree with everything you said for sure
As a Celtics fan, letting go of Udoka is the dumbest thing we’ve done. We definitely miss his intensity
he was too flirty lol@@shouryasangam7956
Did Harden deliver that "i just wanna win" statement with a straight cus i call 🧢
Harden went partying after the recent loss 😅😅😅
Show is much better and actually watchable when the guys are not screaming around and talking over each other. I'm glad I continued to give this show a chance after having enough of the bickering
Joel Embiid has been in 11 playoff series. He's shot over 50% in only 3 of them. He's shot under 45% in 5 of them.
Averaged 33.1 PPG in the regular season and 23.7 PPG in the playoffs. That drop-off (-9.4) is the largest by that year's MVP in NBA history.
The only instances in NBA history of a scoring leader making the playoffs and not being top-10 in PPG in those playoffs : ’22 Embiid and ’23 Embiid
He has shot less than 20% from 3 in his last 3 playoff runs
The only MVP to never advance past the second round of the playoffs
In five second-round series (29 games), Embiid averages 23.8 points per game on 43/29/82 shooting
Is one of just eight players in NBA history with 1,000-plus playoff minutes and an average of at least five turnovers per 100 possessions. Five of the players on that list also average at least 10 assists per 100 possessions, and Embiid's average of 4.1 tops only Shawn Kemp's 2.9. He’s never had a playoff run where he averaged more assists than turnovers
When facing elimination: 22.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists per game, 4.6 turnovers, 38.8 field-goal percentage, 25.0 three-point percentage
0-3 in game 7s with 49% TS and 5.3 TO
In games Within 5 Points in the last 5 minutes He shoots 9/38 with TS 35.7%
Broke him face '22 & tore MCL '23
Nice!
you don't need to post the underwhelming resume of failure... we all know embood is a fraud
@@Giddywiddy and this year it will be some other excuse... the dude exudes failure, it's in his character, he is a natural born loser
No rings💍💍💍
Philly is definitely better without harden. Half of that is the existing team and pick ups from the off-season and the other half are the players from the Harden trade. But overall, they’re playing much better (quicker, efficient, off the ball, etc.) than when Harden was the point and main ball handler.
Edit: Oh and Nurse is a MUCH better coach
Embiid is unleashed without Harden and a good coach.
you know the game
@@rla9889you mean Maxey is unleashed and Tobias
None of that not gonna matter unless they pass round 2
You saying Nurse better than the Doc..
Nick taking Wildes’s drum roll on the table is priceless🤣😂😂
"It's like Santa out there!" 😂😂😂 Wildes, love it
“Look at Dillon. What is Dillon doing” 👀😂
😅😅😅
Did you see his bag 💼? He’s like Santa out there ! 😂😂
Wildes is hilarious
When you're constantly getting new players every year, you will never get any chemistry
Mad respect on this trio; they watch the game together and they look so togetherness if i can say that. They all have different opinions but they just work so well!
To be honest I’m loving the downfall of Harden. Bro was only good cause he kept getting about with his double triple step back move 😂🤡
Like Luka huh?
I feel the same way but bc he lacks real heart and he’s showed us that in almost every aspect starting with defense.
certified hater.
@@704jizzle2like Luka lol. Luka performs in the playoffs bruh and doesn’t look for fouls like harden which is a major difference
@@jaydell4039 The fact that you said that Luka doesn't look for fouls hows you have no idea what you're talking about. He's often one of the league leaders in technicals because he complains about not getting every call going to the basket. Stop watching highlights
I like that “they can’t be themselves” take by brou, he’s on point.
AD hurt again, what a shock.
AD = Always Damaged
Best part time player in NBA history
Best crew after the TNT guys, Shaq, Ernie, Kenny, and Chuck.
Nurse is the first real coach the Sixers have had since Larry Brown. It's been 20 YEARS.
Why does Russ need to be the one to move to the bench instead of Harden? Just because Harden gets paid more even though russ fits better? Was a horrible trade to begin with but if they move Westbrook to the bench that would make it 5x worse imo
Cause russ cant shoot a jumper if his life depends on it, Harden proved he still can be "Houston Harden" in the boston series, and he still avg 10 asssits for last 3 seasons
@@nerdheid7306 tell me you don't know ball without telling me you don't know ball.. thnx
@@AnthonyVex wow never heard the tell me bla without telling me bla line... what are you 12yrs old lol?? you clearly have not watched any westbrook lakers games. there is a reason russ signed a 2yr 8m deal. his best days are over, the whole league saw how hes in his decline in his lakers stint
Because Harden has proven in the past he can actually shoot a basketball, whereas Westbrick has proven he can build a brick house in comparison. WB is also a turnover machine. I'm not saying Harden is playing great either but his potential is way higher than Russ.
@nerdheid7306 you clearly don't know what your talking about because last I checked this is the clippers not Lakers, it's laughable for you to bring up that situation when it was totally different and if you actually watched him play and not just regurgitate some old skip Bayless takes you'd maybe have a clue
That harden quote is wild considering his first press conference he complained about his role in Philly
Wildes said yesterday see y’all tomorrow when the Rockets win, he said Rockets by 3 but at least he was right because they won 😂 and Nick and Brou are saying he’s still wrong because they said he predicted a big night from Dillon Brooks
Lebron only made 2/6 when Brooks defended him which isn't bad.
Brousard "The Lebob team" thought it was "lebum team" made my day 😂😂😂
Lowkey this def the best out. Big up to Chris for getting a daily gig.
It’s weird that Russ was keeping his shot attempts down and playing well but as soon as harden comes on the team he’s taking more shots and his efficiency is way down. .. it’s like he’s trying to compete with harden lol
And these MFERS wanna blame Harden for everything when he is only taking 8 or 9 shots
@@704jizzle2 Russ and Harden are both overrated.
James Harden to the Bench "WTF". Former 6th Man of the year
Reaves playing like straight boo boo. He is really a bench player fr
Here we go again with bron needs more help 😂
Unless ur seeing some other show, not once was this stated. They said the roster is good but they aren't putting things together. Watch again.
@@arvindbalaji4755dont even engage 😂 bron haters are worse than the fan boys at this point. Theres a comment above where buddy was roasting the clippers and the first comment was about how its brons fault they lost... Because bron plays for the clippers 😂😂
Dillion the villain got LeBrick LOCKED UP 🔒🐐🔒
I’m truly rooting for the clippers to fail BUT I think they’d be better off pairing up their stars and staggering their minutes. Russ on the floor with PG, Harden on the floor with Kawhi. I think they just gotta try it bc what they’re doing, playing Harden and Russ together (or worse, all 4 together) is idiotic and it ain’t working. There’s simply not enough time in the game and 🏀s for them to all get the chance to do what they do best.
EXACTLY
Harden and Westbrook are not good anymore. Simple as
Would require a good coach...
That's a great idea for maximizing productivity. After all, it's the coach's job to determine the team's best lineups even if it seems unconventional. But I think your idea won't fly at the end of games cuz all the stars are gonna want to play. And ultimately, if your best lineup involves sitting your 3rd and 4th best players, you're not utilizing the talent on your roster properly. In other words, the roster construction is broke and you'd probably be better off shipping off 2 of the "stars" for a bunch of top-tier role players.
@@abdullahhusain9336 Who you shipping? No one is buying old and injury prone stars. They have to work with what they have. Only one you could ship is pg and he is the best one.
Man i absolutely love this show! These guys are absolutely incredible and I look forward to each show after every game because I fun the show will be. Keep it up guys!
Awesome show you guys. Keep it up
Hearing rachel nichols and chris brousard talk about basketball is gonna be VERY informative and entertaining
This isn't hard. You're not winning anything with a senior citizen and a cripple as your core...
😂😅
Love their conversations
its always hilarious to watch these early season freak outs. The Lakers had an almost 0.1% chance to make the WCF before the trade deadline and they did. The Clippers are suffering from the exact same thing the Miami Heat did, it takes time for superstars to gel. its gonna be tough and in the West I know its rough but the Clippers are really one superstar move to 6th man away from being a top 3 team. Nick does this every year because he learned it under Colin Cowherd (his mentor) sell a wild take early and if your wrong give reasons until u cant defend yourself anymore then apologize (he did this with Jokic). its way to early in this season to freak out. the only team that needs to make a roster shakeup NOW is Memphis other than that, the play in tournament is new and there is still plenty of time in the season.
RELAX
Love all these 3 guys. They're all awesome. Some days one will be my favorite more than the other two but they rotate 😂
Wyldes is my favorite sports head this year first person besides Shaney and Big Perk to give clutch city the 🎲... clamp city going up
Nothing on the bucks game?? Or at least nuggets vs golden state smh
Love the NBA talk
Props for longer videoa
Dillion was sitting with 60 60 90 splits before yesterday
3:05 ayoooooo 🫷🏾”…no other ball handlers other than Lebron” is crazyyyyy *Ma$e and Cam voice*
Wildes be standin on bidness lol
I'm not worried about the Lakers. They're right where I like them.
They MIGHT make the play-in. 0-5 on the road now.
The God Shammgod shoutout doe 🔥
As a kings fan that just saw Houston embarrass us twice, I give them all the credit. Didn't have Fox for either game but they are playing good ball early in the season.
your chemistry rocks. nice show
Kevin having a good day today. Needs glasses 👓 to calm down 🍺.
Nick reacts to one game. Philly is not better than Boston. This is the start of the season.
This trio is the best right now on NBA news
Nick at 12:51 explaining how the Celtics and the Bucks teams have both made all their moves and says, "The same thing with thing."
Clean out your ears. He said '...same thing with Dame.'
His name is ANTHONY MEDICAL BILLS DAVIS.
Am I trippin' or is Nick Wright starting to resemble Robert De Niro's character from "Angel Heart"?!
Everyone keeps saying they dont give Wemby the ball but he started 0-6 and is their third best offensive player. Vassell and Johnson are better on offense so they should get more shots
I don't think Maxey is overachieving. He's shown plenty of times that he's capable of getting buckets.
These guys clearly don't watch the games the way they talk about Maxey. If you watch the games you could see him coming from a mile away. Nick and Brou still think Jamaal Murray is an aberration.
So Harden doesn’t kno how to spot up shoot lol his HOF ceremony will be hilarious
They obviously haven’t seen Kawhi in the playoffs last year. Just watch out if he makes them and stays healthy he gonna be a superstar💯
Nick does not want any piece of Shaq Shaq- can't blame him. 😄
How harden is unable to take a spot up shot is so concerning. Like what does he do in the off season? He’s practiced step backs for the past ten years. Never developed his game at all
They constantly talk about a Lakers team that has terrible tv ratings. They’re in the second biggest city in the country and still can’t get people to watch.
Yall were saying Lakers had a deep squad and the best… Now its more excuses
I’m not surprise with maxey scoring 25ppg
I think Darvin Ham's rotations and lineups have been atrocious AND I think Franky V could have done phenomenal with this roster.
Isn't almost the entire Lakers team injured... Rui, Vincent, Prince, Vando, AD... that's crazy
No questions being asked of Darvin Ham yet?
You’re right Chris but it’s not that they don’t have the players. They’re not practicing, lack of coaching. No cohesive coaching, training or leadership.
All this is too early. We are not in mid December yet, not to mention the week before the All star game.
Nick be sitting in his chair waiting like he's playing Double Dutch.
Lmao😂😂 you notice that too. Bouncing around in his seat
Brou really said LBOB with a straight face
You can’t be worried about a 3-5 start for the Lakers if you never expected them to excel.
How many championships would Kawhi have right now if he stayed in Toronto?
Harden is about to wiggle his way to Shanghai 😆😆
I love this show
We're 10 games into Wemby's career, and here's what we can say definitively. He's a defensive powerhouse. And he's running away with the ROTY unless something tragic happens.
2 of those clippers need to run the 2nd team....split the qtrs or something...solves the rest problem and the cohesion problem
Lebron scores 12 of those points while Dillion was on the bench. .. Lebron had 3 turnovers, and he shot 2 for 6 when guarded by Brooks. 🔓
I think Paul reached superstar status at some point. He's been a top 10 in more than 2 seasons
True he was definitely a fringe superstar at one point, but I’m not sure he ever reached the level of the other 3
He should’ve done more w Russ in OKC I wanted them to beat the warriors so bad
His broken leg stopped him ascending to superstar status as a number 1 guy. He was on the cusp in Indiana. Since his injury he is a superstar number 2 option on a team. His best seasons were in okc
Shaq shaq bout to be his new NICKname pun intended
It’s bad coaching at this point
AR got the bag and I guess forgot how to play
Nick wright's HAIR 😮
It's like the Lakers need a total rebuild. Lebron and AD are just not good enough.
How many times is nick gonna fall for the Philly thing ?
Every year lol
That's like asking how many times are people going to fall for the Harden and Westbrook thing. Based on the past, a lot more. I think people are just a glutton for punishment.
Change his name from King James to "Always Need Help" James.
I'm not a James fan, but c'mon, he's the oldest player in the league. Of course, he needs help.
@@migueldelarosa2121 He's been needing help his entire career.
Here we go!
philly with all the others minus harden now a legit team.. harden is holding some players back one of them is maxey.. maxey playing loose is awesome to watch..
I watched the clip waiting for some talk about the Rockets. Wah wah.
Temper expectations with wemby. Honest assessment, he'll turn out to be as good as a healthy porzingis. if he reaches his potential.
Wildes!!!! You are my Hero yes. Rockets are doing well but the team make up is eye catching and Dillon isn’t a villain even if he plays the card all the time.
You Wildes are the best. Pats over Miami and pushing this rockets Dillon stuff a bunch wouldn’t be right but you’re in the groove or flow or lane or w.e you rock and I am a Fan!!!
I usually can't stand Nick Wright, I actually completely enjoyed this segment. NBA is a blast if you are a real fan as there are so many exciting players and teams in the league right now.
