  1. 20:08 I was going to listen to the podcast, but I just can't with this guy. He refuses to put away his homer takes. Whatever. Live your dreams. But you shouldn't represent yourself as an expert, when you can't put away your bias.

  4. 31:59 you actually might be surprised to know that it will be fox who is getting his minutes cut in some playoff games, no one has really addressed this, but he is one of the most inconsistent in the league when it comes to being locked in, you mentioned castle, but everyone is constantly side eyeing Fox

  5. Nuggets just a game back of the Lakers and on a roll. LA has the tie breaker but w/out Luka the Lakers will almost certainly fall off. Literally everyone–except Jason–over the past few weeks said the Nuggets had no shot at the 3 seed. I'd give them better than even odds to get it now. The reality is though that whatever their seeding it will be a brutal path to come out of the west. I think that's true for all the WC playoff teams. If they finished 3rd, as things stand now, they'd have to face the Wolves in round 1, very likely the Spurs in the 2nd round, and if they survive, OKC in the WCF. Yikes! Whoever comes out of the west will have earned it.

  6. Lakers are on good direction regrdless of this beating they had last night. Okc stunt them intentionally to send the message to other teams on west such as Spurs, nuggets and minesota that they are the champs and what happened to lakers is waiting everybody who comes out on their way. Its been a longer period since lakers met team with such physicallity and they werent mentally prepared. Their next game on Tues will be much closer and much more realistic compared to the quality of both teams.

  7. Does Jason think he's on the Lakers Collective right now? If their season is likely over (as he implied), don't turn into ESPN and keep talking about them in future shows.

  9. Yall all of these teams with "injured players" are just gaming the seeding for the playoffs. There are billionaires behind these teams that want certain things from their employees. No one is seriously hurt.

  13. 20:37 Jason, can you stop saying Luka has been the best since the All-Star break?? Even in March Luka only shot 49% to Shai’s 56%. Not to mention all the clutch buckets.

    And you can say Luka is a better passer, but I’d take the guy with 2.2 TO’s than 4 TO’s per game

  14. When the Thunder are firing on OFFENSE & Defense, and shoot really well, they're literally unbeatable. Because they are just flat out the best team in basketball. It almost always comes back to their 3 point shooting. Because sure, you can get the best of teams on an off night. No team has gone 82-0 lol. But beating this team 4 out of 7 because of their consistency is so challenging. And then they have games like this where they take souls in 12 minutes.

  16. 47:51 LA is obviously the worst out of those 4 teams. They absolutely cannot be trusted. We saw them in the playoffs last year and they sucked against minnesota. Houston sneaky has a chance considering they keep managing to right the ship despite being the most devastated by injuries out of this lot. They keep finding ways to win. With Sheppard's and Thompson's offensive growth lately I feel like they are rounding into cohesiveness perfectly right before the playoffs.

  23. I think the Pistons commentary is a bit off. Offensively, it's been a total team effort with balance scoring from 7 to 8 guys that has made up for the absence of Cade's points.

    The description of D-Rob's game is probably more accurate for Kevin Huerter and I think he's better at it.
