Nick couldn’t even put the Celtics first 😭 his Celtics hate would not allow him to do it
It stems from his LeBron obsession!!!
@@ThomasBeauchemin-z4b Bron really lives rent Free in your head huh?
@@ThomasBeauchemin-z4b Jesus Christ you know there’s lots of NBA fans that hate the Celtics? Boston isn’t really a ray of sunshine.
You’re the same people that hate when the Lakers are mentioned yet always bring up Lebron.
@@jaden5843 ? Lakers being mentioned doesn't make sense since they're not contenders. Boston being mentioned makes sense since they're the best team in the league.
Alot doesn't win back to back.
REBOUND Embiid, passes it up to Maxey, he finds George in the corner, George aims, fires, SCORES, TIE GAME. Tatum driving to the hole, BLOCKED BY EMBIID, passes it up to Maxey, FOR THE WIN, GOT IT, GOT IT, and the SIXERS AVOID THE SWEEP AND SEND THE CONFERENCE SEMI FINALS SERIES BACK TO BOSTON DOWN 3-1. GAME 5 TUESDAY NIGHT
😂
Yall gotta CHILL 😂😂
Respect the effort lol
REBOUND Embiid, passes it up to Maxey, he finds George in the corner, George aims, fires, WAY OFF, HITS THE SIDE OF THE BACKBOARD.
Beat the Knicks first 😂
Boston should retain the largest percentage of the pie until proven otherwise.
Closest team to a challenge should be the Wolves.
@@vitreo1363 nah it's Mavs.
@@aquaviii You're both wrong. It's the Denver Nuggets. In the East, it's the Indiana Pacers.
@@susanstamboulian646pacers? They're a playin team. In the East it's Knicks and Sixers
Agree, winning a ship unlocks different levels in some players. I know Holliday is one, If Tatum and Brown is too .... trouble.
Celtics have the biggest piece of the pie til proven otherwise they showed that KP is a luxury for them not a necessity.
This Celtics team has the most delusional haters I’ve ever seen. Dominated the whole league the whole year and people still claim they aren’t good and overrated
@@mattsell2361 Nick just doesnt like Boston he nitpicks every little thing Boston is the champs and they running it back they the favs lol
@@ambulabula1908 I still can’t believe he’s comparing this Celtics team to the 04 pistons 😂
@@mattsell2361 Yeah it doesn't make sense really they in that 08 Celtics 89 Pistons tier if he was gonna be honest with himself but he ain't he got that hate in his heart lol
@@mattsell2361Oh I didn't know being .500 against top Western teams was "dominating"
Paul George wasn’t a problem in Okc? Anyone remember how sad he went out in the playoffs?
Exactly!
@@Zeuwamakanuwadiegwu that close out game vs Utah .. he finished with like 12 points … but I get it pg plays with one of his guys now so he has to prop him up more
Exactly Russ was the only one who showed up
Giving the spurs 0.5% but 0% for the clippers is targeted 😅💀
Kawhi plans on playing a full season one of these years?
Having Denver behind Philly is absurd.
And not having Boston as the 1 because Porzingis is injured for the first month of the season is laughable because Boston just won a championship with KP injured for nearly the whole playoffs run. They play well without him.
Celtics record without him was better than it was with him 😂
Wildes is a national treasure. We all know it. Who's with me
Is this Wildes burner account? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Impeccable glaze
Great try Kevin
weird.
Weird asf
Russ was more the problem than Paul George 😂😂 game 6 2018 vs jazz Westbrook scores 46 pts Mitchell scores 38 pts and pg went 2-16 0-6 from 3 scored 5 pts with 6 turnovers
PG never shows up when it matters
😂
You mean we supposed to listen to Nick “Mavs in 6” Wright
i think he said mavs in 5 but regardless still ridiculous
He said Mavs in 5😂😂
His name is actually Nick Wrong
No you can not click the video and never hear him again 🤷🏾♂️
“Lakers in 6” against the Nuggets THIS POST SEASON lol
How can the 76ers have a 10% when it’s “about health” and they’ve never been healthy..
Sixers over the Knicks is hilarious
Pure Knick hater’s are in the chat
I agree, as a Celtics fan in my opinion Sixers should be behind the Celtics, Pacers, Knicks, Bucks, and maybe even a surprise team next year.
Knicks are trash
@@davidmejia8500it's not 06 with Isaiah Thomas running them
Not a Celtics fan, but they are the CLEAR #1.
Not only because they are the defending Champs but because they didn't even play to their full potential and they are the Champs.
Celtics repeat is EASY $
u are far more smart than these clowns
Yup they making the finals again for sure
You could say the same for okc in terms of not playing to their potential Plus they added an all nba defender who is a champion. And a player to fill in for Chet and fix their only weakness. And the young guys now have some valuable experience and are still very much improving. And unless they playing the Bucks, Mavs, or Nuggets, most would agree they have the best player on the floor
@@lanepoovey826SGA is not the 4th best player in the league lmaooo
Didnt play to their full potential? Okay. And what injury riddled team did they beat that played to their "full potential" 😂 why are people acting like Boston is a lock
76ers over Knicks is hilarious.
Not funny at all
A team built with 2 of the most injury prone players in the league isn’t funny? You’re too close to it 😂
Why does Nick consistently rate the 76ers so high? When was the last time they made a deep playoff run in the Embiid era? Someone tell me.
They just signed Paul George…
Because he's been rating them on talent rather than roster construction (all of Embiid's costars except Maxey have been mediocre fits at best). No amount of individual talent has ever overcome front office incompetence. The difference this year is that the top of the roster fit is now immaculate.
@@HairBear78And they haven't played a single game together yet, so everything is UNPROVEN
@@HairBear78 andwhat has paul george ever won?
Philly over the Bucks is criminal
No. Philly is better
Teams being remotely close to the Celtics much less being higher is wild.
KP is literally not gonna be around. It’s fair to assume that a 19pt guy will make them more vulnerable.
@@kppowell6157KP was literally not around for most of the playoffs and Finals. KP is a luxury for the Celtics. They're still one of the best defensive teams without him too lol
@kppowell6157 lml KP barely played in the finals and they never lost more than ONE game in a series. He's a nice piece to have but so long as the Celtics have Jaylen and Jayson healthy they are the best team
Horford will actually be washed any day now. I swear. Probably. I hope.
@@mysteriousj3019Idk who tf is telling you KP is luxury to the Celtics😂he is a key factor we were lucky injuries are apart of the game. A healthy embiid or Greek freak would make KP look like a fool.
Lmao of course nick couldn’t give the Celtics the biggest percentage, truly a Celtics hater…gotto love it
Those Klutch checks different 🔥
LeBron is the GOAT bro
Other agencies have money as well. Why are you upset?
@@marianoortega6725You misspelt Michael Jordan lil boy
This is INSANE! Celtics trounce the league this past year, bring everyone back and cant even be the favorites?! My god nick can NEVER give them credit.
They had an easy run and played a banged up Luka by himself. Settle down
@@countof3everybodyODcrybaby excuse, they barely had KP, easy 16-1 run
@@Trivedi_Tuesdays kp isn't comparable to the players their opponents lost
Frauds
Thunder absolutely demolished the Cs last year btw ❤️
Nick will forever hate and talk down anything Boston/New England related, to the point of feeling the need to apologize publically… but then keeps doing it 🤦🏽♂️
As a Chiefs fan and a Lakers fan I’d be disappointed if he didn’t. Sometimes you have to just hate a team because they’re your enemy, whether it’s right or wrong. 😂
It’s a show. They have a Boston support voice. That’s how it works. You need a heel to the world champions. Or it’s a boring show. They are entertaining
Can’t blame him
Nick can’t help himself and slight the Celtics, generational hater
It's because they had an easy path and Tatum is not THAT guy. Listen, Chauncey Billups won a title with Richard Hamilton in 2004 as his sidekick. They never won another one. It could be another version of that
@@jctslice they destroyed everyone, best record in the league, best offense and defense, and brought everyone back, if you don’t think they should be favorites then you’re crazy
@@aaronpyne9642 they should be, but it's not too crazy for them not to be the favorites because their path was historically weak. Never got tested in the playoffs because of injuries. Played in a bad Eastern Conference. For that reason, I think it's a little hard to gage Boston's greatness in terms of are they on the verge of something historic OR did they just capitalize on an easy path for 1 year
@@jctslice Never got tested yet beat the breaks off the team that came out of the West and beat the breaks off everyone not named Denver (who had amazing games from their awful bench both times), man just stop it.
@@JKeemTV Dallas was a 5 seed. They weren't amazing & you could argue that they shouldn't have even been there if not for Murray's injury
OKC over the Celtics is wild lmao
Not that crazy. I'd personally put Boston over them yeah but OKC is already the betting favorites to win the West
@@garretttank1711 Ig you could say crazy is an exaggeration, but OKC didn’t make it out of the second round last year and have very little playoff experience. I love their moves and certainly have them as my number 2, but Boston with everyone back is the champ favorite for me until I see basketball played. (A real big move could possibly change my perspective)
@@garretttank1711 Betting on OKC to leap from 2nd round exit to champions the very next year… may as well gimme your money…
@@vitreo1363 They were closer to the conference finals than you're giving them credit. Their defense got even better than before along with their rebounding/shooting.
@@vitreo1363okc had their worst shooting stretch of the season against the mavs and pj turned into klay I’ll take them being able to get to the finals this year
Nick overrating the 76ers
is lunacy
Think about this: The Celtic’s EASILY won the championship, without the person Nick is worried about coming back, which is the reason he’s picking OKC over them.
How “without him” when he played?
@@kppowell6157He was out most of the playoffs, literally 2 months, and only played 1 and a half games in the finals. The Celtics are fine bro, and Porzingus being there or not is a luxury they protect by having 4 centers on the roster.
Celtics had a easy path this season chances are it won’t be as easy this yr cant expect them to face a injured team in every rd besides finals this yr again
They had an EASY road TO the Finals
Then played banged up Luka and that’s it
@@countof3everybodyOD naw mavs had no excuse they just failed the east was hurt tho & made it easy for Celtics
Sixers way too high and I’m a sixers fan. Let’s see it first . Gotta fill out the roster
Wildes is right. Boston should have the biggest slice and get more from the 76ers. They are in the weak East. Even if OKC were a better team (which seems hard for me to say after what the Celtics did) they'll have a tougher path to the finals.
Best show on FS1.
Best sport show period
I swear nick only gave Lakers a small percentage because the guys called him out for his hypocrisy about the roster recently. He was always picking the Lakers but complains that pelinka put together such a bad team.
Anything to not blame Lebron for his failures. Klutch check coming in clutch!
You really mad about 3% really?
@@jacobmcklowski4428 Being represented by Klutch means that you pay them to represent you, not that you get paid by them. It's like you guys just heard "Nick Wright," "Klutch," and "represented" in the same sentence once and came to the conclusion that Nick Wright must get paid to represent Klutch, as opposed to Klutch getting paid to represent Wright lmao
@@NK-mr3rh I'd be more mad about him saying they have twice the chance the Suns have when the Suns were better last season. He could take the 9 teams he as from 1% through 3% and put them all at 2% giving the remaining 2% to the defending champs.
This segment is wildly disrespectful ngl 💀
The problem with the Thunder whenever they had Paul George was not Russ. The problem was Carmelo Anthony. He had fell off as a scorer and was a defensive liability because he was older. And also because he didn’t want to come off the bench that second year the 3 of them were together in OKC.
OKC LOVE LETS GOOOO
It’s only to stick it to the Celtics but at this point I’ll take it. Literally the only way we get talked about on the show
Lakers at 3%... until they start 12-6 next season and Nick overreacts and bumps them up to 20+%
Get that Klutch money guys! Push those narratives!!
Yes the same "narrative" That bron has the same odds as the Magic and the Pacers winning the championship
- Jordan fanboys when they realize LeBron is the GOAT 💪
What agency do you like besides Klutch?
@@marianoortega6725 cuz he's not
Being represented by Klutch means you pay them to represent you, not that you get paid by them
Celtics 100% Pie
Listen, agree or not, the fact nick stayed up and tried to make that work was demonic. This dude is different 😂❤
I want to be loved as unconditionally as Nick loved Jimmy Butler
Wildes cooked Nick
I actually love how if they give the slightest compliment to a team it becomes their team😂. Brou’s Clippers will never get old
Is Philly going to stay healthy? I’ll let you know ahead of time. The answer is NO
OKC should be the favorites. They had the top seed in the west last year and they replaced giddey w someone who is an all NBA defender and a much better shooter, they also got a second big to get rebounds and defend. Not to mention, the young guys, chet, jdub, and Wallace are going to improve as well. This team is scary good.
everyone said the OKC Thunder was “too young” last year and now they’re finally realizing they’re not “too young” they’re just “that good.” they lost to the team who went to the finals, Lakers fans thought they’d beat OKC: doubtful.
"everyone said the OKC Thunder was “too young” last year " yeah and they were 100% correct lol
@@canIeaturcarrots and they just got older with an experienced championship vet + a guy who's been on a handful of playoff runs. Don't think they should be given that BS tag coming into this next season
@@garretttank1711 Caruso actually has a ring with the 2020 Lakers.
@@garretttank1711 I don't know any team that made the leap from 2nd round exit to champions the very next year, unless they got a major superstar like Brou said.
@@vitreo1363golden state did in 2015 while also being really young like curry Draymond and klay were all around 26 or lower in age it’s been done
They act like Hartenstein is dpoy gobert. 😂😂
Check the advanced stats it might sound crazy but hartenstein was the the best defensive big last season and was 3rd behind Chet and Wemby in stocks per game
Lakers conference finals run was as flukey as pacers this year
Hilarious that he has the Sixers ahead of the Nuggets, in what world does Embiid and Pandemic P get the benefit of the doubt over Jokic, Murray, adn the Nuggets. One team has proven they can go all the way and win it, the other team can't even get out of the second round LMAO, this title pie is pathetic
Celtics should be #1, but otherwise, decent-ish pie.
I liked how nick said light the beam😂😂😂❤
who else thinks this is the best shows in sports rn? I don’t think it’s close
This show has to have the best graphics
Tittle pie song is awesome
Cowboy Brou only knows two kinds of pie: Cowpie and Mississippi Mud. Yeehaw!
❤I enjoy watching this show, no screaming or yelling at each other for attention or “pay raise”.
Cowboy Brou standing behind the Clippers, hugging them, "God i wish i knew how to quit you."
Clippers, "Well, why don't you?"
Cowboy Brou, " the truth is, sometimes i miss you so much i can hardly stand it."
I'll give Brou that. He'll stick by players and teams he's picked until he can't anymore. He stuck by the Nets the whole time Kyrie and KD were there, and only admitted defeat when they finally left
KP wasn't even playing for the majority of the Celtics Championship run.
Nick is nuts if he thinks that OKC has a better chance of winning the championship than Boston. This is clickbait. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
Nick, if the Cavs are healthy, we should have a little bigger slice. But at least, it's not the 1/2 percent you usually give us, so I'll take it. 😄
I hope you guys stay together forever
I want whatever Bru huffed right before talking about OKC. OKC going to be too young in his eyes for the next five years.
Facts! He doesn’t know ball
Love the show but always a bummer when the title spoils the segment!
The difference in average age between the Thunder and Lakers is a little over a year and a half and Shai is only 4 months younger than Jason Tatum so eat your pie Brou, the Thunder are plenty old enough.
PHX sucks but if u have Durant u gotta put em at least 7% haha
Too young?cmon I thought we left that argument last season OKC literally was 1 possession away from forcing game 7 at home against the team who made the finals 💀 and now they addressed they’re two biggest weakness it that series which was size and Josh Giddey
How do you guys let Chris Broussard not say one thing about real basketball consistently?
Crazy KD Bron and Steph are all still #1 options and all over age 36 up.. Thats crazy
Ad > lebron
KD never been a #1
😂@@ericcruz4967
@@ericcruz4967 OKC?? And he was definitely they go to his years in GS.. Dray said it Kerr said it Steph and Klay too.. They all said they needed a guy to get buckets when the team figured out how to defend they system
Was kobe the 1 with Shaq? When u needed a bucket u went to kobe not Shaq. Shaq was gonna get triple teamed he was never going to see 1v1
Wizards in 3 Kuzma and poole share finals MVP is my 2025 NBA prediction champions 😂😂😂
76-ers over Knicks is ridiculous 😂
Finally something I can agree with Nick. Finally gave props to OKC
If every team is healthy and plays their best, Boston should win the title again. Keep in mind that Tatum and Brown haven't reached their peaks yet. Tatum has no mid-range game and Brown has room to be a much improved ballhandler and free throw shooter.
lol I didn’t even have to watch the segment w out knowing for an absolute fact that there is no way that Nick puts the Celtics as the fav 😂 I honestly enjoy watching him squirm n do verbal gymnastics whenever he knows that a Boston/New England team is good in order to make it look as if he’s giving them credit but will ALWAYS have a lil backhanded slap baked into his take, it’s predictable and fun to watch at this point
Celtics are still the best team to win unless proven otherwise. They still have the same team for the next 3 years or so. The team that is the most balanced offensively and defensively. This is why they crushed everyone and won.
seems like the raptors change their logo everyday 😂
Brou saying when did the thunder get knocked out, as if his clippers didn’t get knocked out first round this year lol
Bro HATES the Celtics 😂😂😂😂😂
Saying Russ was more the problem than PG in OKC is a disgusting take. PG literally had a 5 point playoff game against the Jazz and then let Dame hit the dagger and wave bye bye lol
Sixers are overrated here .. they shouldn't have more then 5%
The lakers should have half person for having Lebron & bronny
i have to turn my volume way up every time i watch your videos, they're too quiet
Russ was not the problem. A lack of shooting was the problem. Presti has learned a lot since that last team, he’s recalibrated and now he only want high IQ players that came defend, shot create, can get their own bucket, pass, and hit 3’s. That’s all he wants. He wants to play 5 out with the most cerebral players he can obtain in OKC. This way they are all a threat at all times.
In the last 5 season 4 of them times miami went to the ECF
Don't sweat the diss here guys. The only thing you have to remember is Nick said "I guess I could see that the one game Boston might be able to beat Dallas is the opener at home after a layoff for the two teams." LOL!
Guys, he ain't right all that much so no worries.
I am a Bucks fan, but for all of basketball fans we need a deep run by Giannis and Dame both healthy. Could be some magic and actually take on the C's. Hope 76ers stay healthy too!
Minnesota is just a little bit older than okc bruh
Cmon man
How do I agree with Nick more than you?! I agree Minnesota will be good. Kats hit his ceiling tho bro.
Oh yea, Forget the clippers as well man.
You know you're successful when the amount of haters reaches the level Nick has lol
Stop spoiling the entire segment with the title
Is this a joke? The champs who didn’t change a thing are second? To OKC?! Lmao
“This is scientifically pie charting”
Def have to put the Celtics first after winning and bringing the whole team back. I feel like Nick just wanted to be bold and pick someone else lol. OKC still has a million first round picks so maybe they make a big trade and become the favorites. I also think the Knicks have a pretty good chance now. Their defense is gonna be scary good.
Tbf: Celtics, Okc, Mavs
Bucks, maybe, (Warriors if new 2nd star)
Wolves, Nuggets, (Suns if Beal gone)
Maybe sixers, prob not ✅️ done-zo.
Nick still cant be seen giving it to Boston. C U Next Tuesday Nick Wright.
this is a tier list masquerading as a pie chart
Mavs in 5 tho right? 😂
Now everybody wanna pick the Celtics when they pick against them in the playoffs and the finals
Nick Wright is walking, breathing Dunning-Kruger
Ok to reply to the second guy. When the Warriors first won their first title, it was a somewhat meteoric rise. They didn't suffer year after year. They were super young. Also, literally every single player on OKC will be that much better next year. They'll ALL improve. To whereas Ant and maaaybe a couple other Wolves will improve? C'mon.
Dallas is your classic team that was not dominant in the regular and then hit their stride during the playoffs, but the nba isn’t the nfl. Dallas isn’t a true contender.
Knicks needs to keep Randle and Nick needs to put them at in front of Philadelphia
3% for the lakers?? What have they done to improve their roster this offseason to give them any chance??
This is Nicks way of being bombastic like Skip! He's definitely the ftf version of Skip.
Im a knicks fan ... but you have to give celtics the biggest slice they did win the chip
