The coaching with both Boston and Utah show that it wasn’t just Ime Udoka. They had some damn good assistants and they’re showing out with BOS and UT

College student who’s a warriors fan here, I can’t watch every game but Jason is the absolute best when it comes to analyzing the game and his perspective on who has been playing bad and who has been playing good. Would never had know how good wiseman played yesterday to know that there is improvement or Moody has been working on his shot or how good the rest of the young guys look durning the season. God bless you Jason 🙏

I’ve been tryna tell y’all about this Celtics team… last year they lost to warriors, even as a die hard Celtics fan I expected that to happen. Regardless of who had the more talented team the warriors were far more experienced and that is a really big deal. Now not only does Boston have that experience, they got a player that somehow improved their already elite roster in Brogdon.
I’ve had Boston winning the chip this whole year but I want to recognize and appreciate Jason being willing to talk about this team and recognize they very well may be better than both of the teams he thought were the finals favorites. I don’t want sports analyst changing their picks everyday but being able to admit a team is better than even you thought over a long period of time gives your current takes/opinions credibility.
I love the show and appreciate you as always Jason!

I see rob Williams filling most of the Kornet/Griffin and some of grants minutes. I think especially cause his injury is one that lingers he’ll be a 20 minute a night player to make sure he’s fresh for the playoffs. I agree that he’s a great look to have, but he shouldn’t be playing 25-30 min a night. He’s really critical against any team that plays zone coverage because vertical spacing is so much more effective against it, and he’s our biggest threat there against teams like the heat. In the heat series last year he was our second most impactful player in my opinion, any game he played well we won, and Miami doesn’t really have an answer for him. I think he’d also be useful against the bucks with their size, and cavs 2-big look too, but against teams like the warriors he’s definitely a burden at times.

As a Warriors fan, at first, I really thought it was a depressing loss and still think JP was foul twice at the end and just maybe we could have escaped alive. That said, it is encouraging to see the effort! They played nothing like the 2 lifeless losses we had against the Pelicans without our starters. I absolutely love JK's energy especially on defense. We will gel soon. The Western conf is still very open and we are coming, sooner rather than later.

Back for best basketball analysis on ESclips…

Love the videos but can we get some grizzlies coverage please. They’re quietly sitting near the number 1 spot in the west (likely to be tied at number 1 after tomorrows games) and haven’t even played a single game with their full starting 5 yet.

This guy gives the best basketball analysis anywhere.

Bro said New Orleans Hornets brought back a memory of me going to a game as a kid🥲

I think it's time for the suns to part ways with cp3, his offense only come and goes these days and he's a terrible defender atp in his career. I would move him or bench him, but next season so everything could be sorted out and understand during the off-season just in case him or a teammate gives u pushback u don't cause any distraction or lose chemistry this season. Love cp3 tho

How are you not going to call out Klay for just walking away from Malik to allow that wide open 3? For no reason at all Klay just wondered into the lane and did nothing as if was Westbrook.
Worse no one from the team either on the court or on the bench even looked at him or called him out on it.
Klay's not the same player but neither he or the team wants to recognise it. His chucking in the game was horrific as was his defense for the most part. I know they had that team meeting a few weeks ago but he's back to his old ways it seems. It will probably look better when Steph or Dray is back but on the court and in his head the Klay issue is one of the roots of this teams problems.
Also enough is enough Kuminga needs to be given 20+ minutes a night guaranteed. As long as he brings the defensive and rebounding effort consistently he deserves more offensive touches outside of Wiggins he's the only player who can apply real rim pressure. He won't save their season by himself but he can go a long way to improving their chances to win games if he plays more.

KD has been a great defender this year. Great on ball, help defense and rim protection. He’s top 10 in blocks per game. He should make his first all defensive team this year. He’s also having a career year in fg% 55 %

Wasn’t an extra pass. NAW’s pass to Beasley was a set play for the corner 3. Chris finch ran that same play in the playoffs (I believe) for Beasley to hit a game tying 3 that sent the game to OT. As a warriors fan that sucked to see but it’s a hell of a play call and was really cool to see

I still think Lakers would be number 1 in the west if they did the Westbrick for Buddy and turner trade now they are looking at half measure moves.. The Lakers could win the west.. Beating the Celtics or Bucks is another story but those two teams are going to have a brutal series to get out of the east so anything is possible.

Yeah I think linings and Poole will be the future of this team, the other talent will be gone or in a supporting role.

I would love to see visuals/clips to illustrate your points, Jason. But I guess production time wouldn't permit it. Still one of the best on YT.

I remember ppl laughing at my face when I told them I had faith in Brad Stevens being elevated into the GM position for the Celtics, and ppl especially SAS said that Brad shouldn't have been elevated, and that he questioned Brad being deserved of that opportunity, using the race card saying "It's beautiful to be a white guy". But I digress....
Last year was just a measuring stick as to where this team could be, and now they're on a demolition tour to get the job done.

Kerr has done his best to crush Kuminga's confidence you can see the tentativeness in his play.

I would like to see the Nets healthy and with about 20 games with everyone. They’ve shown spurts of really good basketball in a few games.. 30+ assists in a few consecutively..

Absolutely love this channel

The irony: Golden State wanted a big down low who could dominate and use his physical gifts as they have no one like Wiseman from a physique perspective on their roster. Come to find out Wiseman hates physicality and wants to play like a guard. I've never seen such a huge guy be so soft and clueless about going and grabbing the ball. He's always slow to defend, like he's thinking so much of what the coaches say that the play passes him by. As soon as he can show that he can be physical, block out a defender, BLOCK the opposition and be aggressive defensively-I'll be excited about him. But I think he's absolutely, unfortunately, a bust for the Warriors. May not be for a different coach.

Game day update! Warriors dominated the Celtics tonight!

That lakers win from the nets, was a given, a back to back game, and KD was the only one playing from their starters

PHX doesn't look good at all they were embarrassing against Dallas too. But Boston is on another level this season.

Trust Jason to find a way to talk about the Lakers during a segment that doesn't involve them.

Finally the nets get some attention 😭 they been better than the lakers yet they aint been gettin no shine

i like kuminga. has the physical tools to be two beast

that was Suns last year came off a final lost.... killing it within the RS but come in the PO.....went flat........

That was a foul on the Poole strip

Boston didn’t “damn near blow it” against Milwaukee. Milwaukee had a chance to close it out in 6 at home and blew it. A subtle difference, but it was Milwaukee’s conference to lose and they lost it.

Nets, told yall they would be fine. Imagine thinking a team with KD wouldn't be relevant. Smdh

Boston’s second unit with Tatum or Brown has been fukin great - White, Brogdon, Hauser, Kornet + jb/jt

Definitely liked what I saw from kuminga last night

you ignore that the jazz were missing their 2 best players as well of course

Wasn’t an extra pass. NAW’s pass to Beasley was a set play for the corner 3. Chris finch ran that same play in the playoffs (I believe) for Beasley to hit a game tying 3 that sent the game to OT. As a warriors fan that sucked to see but it’s a hell of a play call and was really cool to see

JP definitely got fouled twice but ok!! Not sure why folks sweeping it under the rug..

Always a pleasure to listen in

“Dominated Golden State for three games.”
Did we watch the same series? Warriors were up double digits the entire game up until the fourth where grant, Horford, and white did not moss from 3 for thehalf of the fourth… which was statistically insane

Book is going through a rough stretch, but as a Pels fan I’m so proud of Dyson Daniels having excellent defense on him and so many other star players up to this point, incredibly Herb Jones like

this guy is so good

Wiseman’s best game? He played 5 mins lol

A ton of Celtic love from JT. Brogdon/Hauser are a sizeable upgrade from Pritchard, who played every playoff game last season. Tatum/Brown have yet to hit their prime so they are still improving, expect that to continue. Everyone is signed (except Grant, which BOS holds RFA rights) so the rest of the NBA should buckle in. If Brown makes All-NBA, he'll get the Super MAX. Then the Celtics will be cemented into a 5yr run. The Warriors can answer this by adding two +++defenders, they have the assets in Wiseman/Moody to add Vanderbilt and Poeltl. Kerr doesn't have the time to develop them + it's not really fair to the W's or the kids. If they do that they will have a really strong 9 man group. Boston can always play Brook Lopez off the floor when they go Grant/Horford at the 4/5 and go 5 wide.

this dude cover every warriors game love the anylisis u logical an smart but seesh!

The graphics are a nice touch

Tf you be talking about, dude plays one year and college and swears he can talk bout teams

New Orleans Hornets...

Poole was fouled twice on the last play

Real talk. You need your own show

New top dog? They’ve been Top Dog all year.
Boston realizes they blew a title last year, and they look focused on not making that mistake again.

Olynyk fell on top of JP on that final in bounds. That's a very clear foul. Dude just takes him out like a middle linebacker and the refs just let it happen. Not saying that GSW shouldn't have been better down the stretch but JP was clearly, clearly fouled.

Ws game was fun, 11-11 eh they'll be fine. JK was a beast nice to see him get some run, Wiseman was fine.

Jk made it exciting. Loved the bench playing hard. Didn’t expect a good game. Happy

Teeheehee JT you said New Orleans Hornets 🤣 I still fuck that up from time to time. Glad you're keeping it real, no edits. I love your breakdown, always learn something more either Xs and Os or psychology. Keep it going!

With the Jays as the main leaders… it is your job to develop you game, because they are… every single off season… Hauser, Grant, White, Smart… if there is a hole in your game, Fix it.

you’re wrong in your analysis about rob man

Talk about the Pelicans man. Wtf😭😭

i agree that boston has to prove they can execute consistently in the playoffs

I understand what you're trying to say but please stop trying to imply that the Celtics are better off without Rob. They aren't.

idk abt this rob thing... im open to the idea of him gambling too much - love to see some stats that back that up.
im skeptical tho bc celtics posted a 120 offensive rating (abt what they are doing now) over the second half of last szn. so they were as good w him last yr as they are this yr on offense. also they had the number #1 defense last yr w rob and have slipped some this yr without him.
The thing abt 5 out offense is that it requires great collective decision making on when to screen/cut/slip/drive/relocate/etc. they are making better decisions this yr and thats why its working out (if this translates in playoffs nobody is beating them). without that it can be pretty stagnant if you have 5 guys jus passing around on the perimeter. line ups w kornet tatum n the bench have been effective (partly bc brogdon n tatum get to go against teams second unit) bc the 4 out 1 in breaks the rhythm of 5 out and forces action towards rim more naturally.
Cs are fine w/o him so im sure they'll manage his minutes and ease him back into the fold as to make sure he stays healthy n not disrupt what they got going now.

Man stop talking so much about lakers they didn’t even play last night. Love the analysis tho keep it up

Season doesn't start until Christmas. Relax

Hey Tim, did you watch pre game? Hes actually shooting now

Good point about Robert Williams. I think they are better off bringing him off the bench because their starting lineup is unguardable right now. The ability to have 5 shooters on the floor and play 5 out basketball has really elevated the Celtics into such a historical offensive juggernaut.

Warriors are done and crispy just like fried chicken

i think JK can be a giannis if he gets a bit competitive andd aggressive

That's why I say you don't know what you're talking about sometimes such as Giannis being a better player than Curry. Nets beat the New Orleans Hornets? You can't even get the team name right

This guy keep bringing up the lakers when he talk about the Celtics, this guys suck, always comparing Celtics players with lakers, lakers is no where close to the Celtics this season.

Boston is starting to share the ball, that's the difference in basketball.

Looks like Tatum still calls Draymond daddy

Sorry man, any team with Chris Paul as it's leader, just won't have the constitution to not let go of the rope.

Bro just say New Orleans Hornets

The C’s are ready to take the mountain.

Warriors are done

golden state ducking celtics smoke saturday sitting guys for no reason

On the point about the Celtics bashing everyone in after a finals disappointment... didn't the Suns do the exact same thing last year? It's not a guarantee to win after that

Kessler is already twice or three times the player Wiseman is which is crazy to say.

Wiseman is a terrible defender. TRADE HIM

Guy really just said the Lakers are better than the Nets. These Laker fans don’t understand how delusional they are.

WTF did you call the Hornets?? The New Orleans Hornets? Catch up man.

Boston ain't making past warriors and the bucks

Bro is always trying to minimize what Boston does

Boston Celtics is weak my guy

Boston Celtics just like suns regular season team

Celtics are fools gold. You’d be a fool to bet on or put belief in the Celtics winning the chip.

Bucks the best team
