I'm so excited for these playoffs dawg
🍿🍿🍿
As a Wolves fan I hate that I’m dreading it 😭 It’s been a magical season and we get our one kryptonite :( I’m scared ngl
@@lylaeloise3948Celtics winning it all I’d put my house on it
@@lylaeloise3948 that's the matchup im going back and forth with the most, would hate to see the Wolves season end 1st round
@@lylaeloise3948dude I’m a suns fan. I’m terrified.
These playoffs about to feed generations
Celtics sweep through the whole playofffs no competition

@@prodigygetgud7921cap. Magic 16-0 playoff run 🥱 😂
@@prodigygetgud7921def not sweeping everyone but they’ll be a tough matchup for anyone
@@prodigygetgud7921 watch them fumble the bag and lose to New York or Miami
Loved this breakdown. The way Steve and Nekias can go from point to point and breakdown all 20 "playoff" teams is awesome.
I really like the way these guys discuss the game. It cracks me up how Nekias always has that stone cold expression.
Nekias is so funny in the strangest ways and I love how steve always giggles at him
I love every matchup we have. National media won’t talk about it too much but the Magic Cavs series has the chance the be the most entertaining of all of them
Honestly though. I will be glued to the Suggs-Mitchell matchup throughout that one. Might go seven. I have Orlando in six but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Hell naw Clippers v Mavs will have all the smok. Kawhi, PG, Russ and Harden v Luka and Kyrie. It will be bloodbath.
Everyone got their teams. The Cleveland/orlando will be ignored. While it might be a good series, the media will not say much.
Seeing how the defenses matchup and play will be entertaining, but Orlando will have the longest betting odds of any team not playing Boston or Denver because Cleveland has much more talent, plus home court and Orlando sucks on the road. Could be a 5 gamer.
Love this whole preview. The contrast between the Chicago-Atlanta play-in and the Cavs-Magic series is kind of hilarious. Excited for the hoop, not as excited for the #discourse especially around the teams that get eliminated. Hope Steve gets over his fever (unlike the dunkers who are never getting over this new-look Fever). Also, Nekias, obviously it is up to you whether to engage with them, but just know that the troll commenters are hooligans and they're probably never gonna stop. It's like they always say, if you hool once, you will probably hooligan. (I'll see myself out now)
Great job on the breakdown, it’s refreshing to see analysis on the game and not on the names in general
Love the season of coverage you've guys have done! I know there's a lot of "no JJ" cry babies in the comments but I really appreciate the work y'all do!
thank you for showing the plays
Time to hoop it up indeed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Playoffs should be very interesting 🏀🏀👀
I love that Nekias got bullied into picking the Magic 😂. I hope they take boston to 7 games too.
Love the wolves suns breakdown
Great analysis fellas
Playoffs gonna be insane
TDS has great reads & analysis.
Let’s gooo! Light the Bridge!
Jaden McDaniels is the 🔑 to the Wolves success against the Suns
Ant is. If he doesn’t play at a superstar level, the wolves have no chance. The wolves have bad half court offense
Agree 100%
@@tommartyn524 bro is trying lol, like really hard. when ant gets downhill and attacks the rim, jaden (and other teammates) gets a good amount of open catch-shoot attempts. those shots gotta hit if the wolves wanna win this series. defense is the identity, but offense is needed
NAZ REID
I had all the same winners as Steve, but I did appreciate Nekias (wrongly) picking Orlando after Steve bullied him into doing it for the bit 😂
Looking forward to the 1-8/2-7 previews if you can get them out in time with the short turnaround.
Keegan Murray has to be a Keegantributor
this is a tremendous shot
It’s Maxey time baby
prayers out to zion man, hope they don’t do anything dumb and just rest the man the whole offseason
Need the sixers to contain Jacques he went crazy on us in the regular season
Where's JJ Redick?
1:01:18 Suns
I think Kat is the difference in this series. If he shows, Suns have a problem.
Zubacs gotta pull a Andre igudola and Hold Luka to under a triple double
Grayson Beal & Kd all have the strength to switch and defend Kat.
If Nurkic gets in foul trouble suns will be in a rough spot. That will be our demise imo. No one behind nurk is reliable.
Considering the wolves are the underdog. Which pick is the upset 🤔. Go wolves
PHX is the lower seed but that’s a fair counter lol
As anthony goes, do does the wolves.
Heat in 5 WERE RIDING WITH PLAYOFF JIMMY AND 3 POINT SNIPER EDRICE
Suns in 5
4
Sac is not the Bay. We don’t rep the Bay. We are Sac.
this is a drinking game episode drink a shot per 'x-Factor' you hear and you will be drunk before the end
Suns in 4
GSG
Haliburton vs drop coverage>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They should have just top 18 with best records in playoffs like College.Get rid of East and West
Knicks in 5
BI seems to have the length and athleticism to guard LBJ but it’s not going to be easy.
He’s gotten the matchup a bunch. Hasn’t particularly held up well, and the fact he’s fresh off a long absence isn’t ideal here
Didn’t get to it on the pod, but I do wonder how big of a role Naji Marshall could play if he’s available
Dawg asked him how he was doing to start the show and dude ended up telling him how he was doing....lied about how he was doing... then said well I'm not gonna lie about it then proceeded to have a full convo with himself for the next 25 seconds which is exactly why I don't make small talk with people lol
LARRIORS
Clippers have no chance. Mavs in 5
pacers in 5 lol
Im hoping, not for the same reason. I want the bucks to rebuild and sell off the greek. The Greek is a perfect for okc. 3’s and drives. We got the draft picks to trade with. Plus the rebounding is needed. Go Indiana!
still not forgiving these two for putting giannis over KD this season for all nba 1st team smh...
🤣
we are sorry to hear that lol
@@NekiasNBA i mean u could've called it the "most ppg team" but we changed Tatum with KD because yes
@@srdepr9186 lol wouldn’t that mean we’d have Jalen Brunson over both, in addition to Jokic not being on?
@@NekiasNBA you right my bad, jokic should obviously be there but so should KD, just trying to understand how giannis and tatum had a better individual season than him
I wish you guys had your own channel. I'm tired of clicking on JJ's channel for videos that don't have JJ in them at all.
Understand your frustration, but hope you enjoy the show either way!
Would note that we are here every Tuesday, and have been all season long
Lordy, life must be so hard for you. lol
@@larrycohen5553 nah, just leaving a review of the channel, thats the whole point of a comment section. whats the point of your comment though?
Sorry this my first time hearing “dunker nation let’s ride” that’s disgusting😂
I gotta keep it real I can’t listen when the dunker spot is on
me either
Dude on the left looks like he doesn't event want to be doing the pod
Straight up hoops talk, no bs is hard for you to listen to? Go watch first take then
hes an actual coach and knows more about hoops than either of us, if u dont wanna learn anything go watch espn
Am I the only person that finds these guys boring and annoying. Not to be rude but damn wish this was just JJ
“Not to be rude” after calling us boring AND annoying is kinda funny lol, but I hear ya
It's because you don't really like basketball, you like narratives and drama.
They break down the game without any of that and that's why you find it boring,
These guys are intelligent and know the game of basketball. Watch and learn Young fella
@@NekiasNBA way more comments are praising your conversation, so focus on that, lol.
don’t listen to these commenters. you guys talk about real nuanced hoops and some people just don’t have the patience to listen. honestly i love the pods with jj but your guys chemistry on your own is probably better.
