  1. Mailbag: How optimistic do you think the Celtics should be about this season with Jason Tatum's possible return in time for the playoffs? Should they go all in and trade for a starting caliber center before the deadline?

  4. The Lakers aren't good. If they aren't getting 30+ FTs are shooting a million percentage they can't win. Their defense is horrible. Worse when healthy the Laker will have 3 of the worst defenders on the floor at the same time in Luka, LeBaby, and Reeves. If they aren't going to the line 30+ or shooting lights out good luck. They aren't stopping anyone. The other team may miss but the Lakers had zero to do with it. Why guys like this could think they have a chance is insane. Watch them play. Even when they win you can see it won't work because it's about the other teams missing wide open shots and the Lakers never missing and getting 30+ FTs.

  5. Literally any team can go into a slump or go cold from three not just Thunder lol ! Come on now. Funny thing is the Thunder slump came at the perfect time when the rest of the league slumped also and nobody made up any ground on them.

  6. Warriors are starting to play pretty well. Moody, Podz, Melton seem to be settling into their roles and playing well. I actually think if they could get a versatile big for Q.Post's minutes, then that would help them quite a bit. Someone like Bobby Portis would be a good fit, and he has a reasonable contract. He can space the floor, rebound and would give them line up versatility, especially with Draymond and/or Jimmy. He seems like a realistic return in a trade involving Kuminga too.

  8. Everytime GS wins two games I can expect him to say that warriors are getting hot like what?😭😭 last time he did that they ended up losing to Atlanta without Trey young the next day

  10. 22:32 FINALLY you emphasized how HARD that schedule was!

    People always treated that like an afterthought, it was infuriating lmao. That schedule was brutal AF!!

  13. If Vanderbilt isn’t gonna be in the rotation in the playoffs and the defense is the problem how does that help haha can’t wait for lakers in 5 talks again

  14. Pistons had 14FT to the Suns 0FT in the 4th. How does the team that commits the most fouls in the NBA not get called for a single foul in the 4th. The refs were horrible yet again.

  18. warriors desperatly need a 3rd scoring option , they would be 10x deadlier with a reliable 2 volume scorer , Moody is not that guy that type of game appears 2 maybe 3 times per season , they NEED to make a trade

  21. Jason is more impressed the healthy Pistons with the best record in the east narrowly beat Phoenix with no Booker or Green than the Hornets curb stomping the Lakers without Reaves. Hmmm 🤔

  25. Rockets fan here. I got so frustrated watching this game I turned it off when OKC started to pull away. I wasn’t necessarily expecting a win, but I did expect the team as a whole to play better as the Bulls win seemed like the catalyst we needed to start playing better. I guess not…
