Wolves in 5
Giannis didn’t play last year
Reaves is a good playmaker. He is not an ELITE one.
Los Angeles Lukers in 5
Where’s legler
Giannis didn’t play at all last year, Dame missed half the series, and Middleton was playing on one ankle (again)
Pacers don’t have an answer for a healthy Giannis that has peaked in the last 2 weeks
West 😴 it’s a foregone conclusion and 2-8 haven’t realized it yet
Pacers in 6
Thunder are winning the finals
Bucks in 6 fym 😤
The east is laughably bad. Who really cares about inferior hoops? Let's get to the west where the actually competitive and serious NBA lives. Lots of cocky Lakers fans happy to see the Wolves. Be careful what you wish for. Minnesota is huge and ultra physical in playoff mode. I actually have the Wolves winning that series. Nuggets Clippers will be an amazing series. OKC could get the Warriors as a first round 'reward' for winning almost 70 games. Houston could blow things up in an unexpected way. I think the EC playoffs will be boring chalk. The WC playoffs could be crazy.
Knicks in 5
Haliburton, Lavar Burton, Tim Burton …Bucks in 🖐
Bucks going to curb stomp Indiana
You already know this guy not watching any Bucks game the way he talks about kuzma and also No mention of KPJ who has been the best thing to happen for the Bucks 😅 gotta have something out there I guess
Timberwolves… Timberlake… Timbaland…. LAKERS IN 5 *
Bucks don't have a chance in the world.
People picking the Wolves to beat the Lakers just hate Luka, Lebron, the Lakers, or some combination of the 3. The Lakers are just a flatly better team than the Wolves.
Knicks v Wolves finals
Sonics in 6
Bucks in 6
ANT is just one tech away from getting a suspension and the refs will use this to help their goat and god get an easy first round. Refs will be ready for this and use it at the right time.
Wthelly, touchdown celly, big ol belly. Lakers in ✋🏾
What I see is that most analysts dont watch games.
The Bucks are a very different team since Dame's injury.
They are a lot better on defense and dont rely as much on Giannis to be involved in every single play.
This will still be a hard series but I see the Bucks winning in 6 or 7.
I like Adam but his analysis of Bucks/Pacers was incredibly lazy to start off this pod. "They beat them last year" without mentioning that Giannis didnt play & Dame also missed half that series is crazy. "They're more built for this moment" without saying why or explaining what that even means 😂 come on man. Yk you're better than that Mares.
My hot take is the Mavs will get the 8th seed and meet OKC, AD is unbelievable when he wants to do it
Bucks in 5. Pacers got owned all year by the bucks
If you’re a bucks fan don’t watch this show. Like most of the media, it’s obvious these guys don’t watch them
Gambling and nicotine promot3d by a sport… Funny funny this us and a…
13:24 I feel ya Marc, as a fellow lefty I root for all leftys😂
If pacers lose 1st rd this season is a failure
Wolves in 6
This idiot is leaning pacers because they beat them last year . DO YOUR RESEARCH ! They didnt have giannis for the whole series and Dame for 2 games + Bobby Portis got ejected in the first half of 1 game in which the Bucks were winning and end up losing . STICK TO THE NUGGETS . You dont watch the NBA , you are just a lazy Nuggets fan who's surprisingly bad and superficial in covering other NBA teams
I have to say. This was the most nuanced take dismissing the Rockets. I still think they beat GS, but it should be a fun matchup.
It would be poetic if it were Houston to put the nail in the GS coffin.
All bro wanna do is talk about the nuggets, when they gonna lose to the clippers anyways
Cunningham, honey ham, Birmingham… Pistons in ✋
Cmon Marc. We are THE inside baseball type of audience
Cavs beat the Hawks in 4
Pistons beat the Knicks in 7
Boston beats the Heat in 5
Bucks beat the Pacers in 6
Jvg was with the Celtics last year
30:11 Saying Tomball Jimmy is a Houstonian is the equivalent of calling Michael Malone “Mike” 😂😂
Two words. Naz Reid
