@@adonisbarlay3292 he needs to get into the lineup somehow and every other spot is taken. Maybe he’ll end up being what Simmons was suppose to be. If it really bothers you switch him and CJ.
Well Doc has never been able to adjust to the opposition. That's why the Nuggets came back on the Clippers. Doc kept PG out there when he clearly should have benched him.
Sixers aren't winning a title with Doc also if the Sixers are healthy. They have a lot of good players and getting trez and house also Pj tucker. Harden has been good this season. The reason why the celtics won in 08 wasn't because of doc but Tom Thibodeau defense who was their assistant coach
Doc is only effective when his teams are ahead but he is non-existent when they are behind in a lead.. His play calling and rotations and adjustments are the worst I seen.. Edited: Doc does have an eye for talent he just can't Coach them properly..
Agreed. Also, they need a good backup big man to spell Joel. I want him 100% at the end of the season. Right now he's playing too many minutes and I don't want them burning him out. Contrast that with the Joker, who didn't even play in the 4th quarter Friday.
@@DTMJR1987 See I want Boogie back on the Nuggets. He was a perfect fit for our team, and it was great because he could foul out and get tossed and because of the Joker it didn't matter.
@@pittland44 yeah and now you have to watch washed DeAndre Jordan lol. Sixers fans suffered through that last year. Boogie torched us in the one game vs the Nugs last year, needs to be in the league.
I usually wait until around 15 games to get an idea on teams, but holy smokes the sixers really seem to be struggling. I do think they will get much better as the season progresses, but the key will be not to dig themselves a large hole record-wise. Especially with how competitive the top 6 spots in the East are. If they fall too far below .500, it could be an uphill climb for a good seed.
I’m not worried about philly and the nets, nets have had the hardest schedule and Sixers have had an above average schedule. Also Nets don’t have Seth Curry and have Joe Harris on minutes restrictions, while Sixers have a clearly not healthy Embiid. Clippers and Lakers tho they’ve both lost games they should have won.
@@ericf91 No I was just saying that, at first glance, the sixers are definitely struggling, but I would wait until at least 15 games before writing them off as a bad team
@@ericf91 The regular season matters to me for a few reasons: 1) Seeds, as you said. Home court is huge in the playoffs. 2) Trade deadline needs.

With all due respect ---- the NBA is NOT as competitive as it's been in recent years.. No way.. Currently, there's only 7 teams in the whole league who have a realistic chance of making it to the Finals.. (3 teams in the Eastern Conference, and 4 in the West..

Doesn't seem to bother the fans though, because "The League" is still doing great business.. The Nets? Come on dude!! They ain't got nuthin'!!

I disagree about the Nets having a bunch of scrubs. I actually think they have a ton of good NBA players. It's just not gelling. The biggest reason is Ben Simmons, in my opinion. The injuries to Curry and Harris haven't helped either, since Simmons badly needs the spacing. The Simmons-Claxton minutes have been a disaster. The Nets actually have a great net rating when Kyrie and KD play without Simmons.
The clips are treating KL like glass WTF I understand he's coming back from a serious injury but 6 games into the seasons he has only played maybe 1 game
i wouldnt gie kawhi too much credit for the toronto championship. when 2 of the top 3 players on the other team get injured in the playoffs, thats almost a guaranteed victory. now the other team has to scramble and adjust on the fly
People criticising Kawhi is crazy, the only people doing that are the ones who have never dealt with serious injury, especially as an athlete. Not to mention you don't even know the guy or how his recovery process is actually going outside of the ever trustful media.
Here's the difference between the Nets and Lakers are so bad. The Lakers can defend but lack of firepower while the Nets can score in bunches but horrible team defense.
Sixers have played a tough schedule. celtics, 3 road games vs playoff teams. the only baffling loss is vs 4-2 spurs at home. They beat toronto on the road without embiid.
Doc Rivers does not understand how to utilize players strengths. I swear he picks his subs based in their 2k rating. There’s no specificity to his game plan.
@@notmytruthTHEtruth Golden State still has the whole "Draymond punched Poole" thing hanging over their head. Aside from that the West has only gotten tougher. Minnesota seems primed for a deep run, we (the Clippers) only got better and deeper with Kawhi back and signing Wall, Dallas still has Luka and now they have Christian Wood, and so much more. Golden State's definitely a title contender but you shouldnt immediately discount the rest of the West because of that
AD sat out last night with back soreness. This guy is under 30 years old and after 4 games his back is too sore to play. Here's to AD missing 30 games again this season.
Honestly can we admit Lebron James, in the twilight of his career, whos strickly staying around to win and also hopefully play with his son..is carrying this team and putting up pretty solid stats every game. Still getting after it at an elite level for his age. I’ll actually cut him some slack on this one, being that the rest of the team is hot garbage. The two other big names on the team, between Russ and AD, are so unreliable in their own special ways which makes the whole situation even worse..
As a Celtics fan it has been alarming how bad our defence has been. I get we don’t hv Timelord but he won’t fix our perimeter defence. Hopefully this is just a mirage and we go back to having lockdown defence, cause our offence is SCARY
You can add the Warriors and the Heat to this list as well. The Warriors currently have the worst defence in the league and their young guns are not delivering yet, Kuminga and Wiseman are barely playing last few games.
I haven't pegged any of these teams as true contenders anyway. There's no depth, especially when nearly 50% of their caps go to 2-3 players. Rebuilds on the fly rarely work and the stars think they know better than their coaches and gm's. It's Suns/Grizzlies out of the West and Bucks/Celtics out East. Everyone else is just something to talk about in the meantime.
The sixers actually played much better without Embiid, so the problem with our defense can't be lack of back up bigmen. Every clip you showed Embiid was on the floor and late on a rotation or just out of position. Also Matisse's lack of shooting is a huge disadvantage especially in the playoffs. It's essentially 5 on 4 because his man is always doubling in the ball handler. We need to iron out our rotation and revamp the offense to be more motion and less isos and Embiid post ups. That seemed to be the biggest difference between how we played with and without Embiid.
Even as A Cs fan. I already know Maxey has been underrated with the 76ers. The only player that I want to succeed in the future. And I'm saying it as a rival
I have never seen a report saying Lebron wanted Westbrick, I’ve only ever seen reports saying he wanted Demar instead but the front office traded for Westbrick
@@pittland44 Hey all I know is that mofo is still stealing cheques for over a decade now. Apart from that championship ran in boston he is useless and people like stephen wont call him out just because he is black and are scared that a black men will be out from his job
I think the pelicans won the trade lol, not from the actual trade since no matter what a NBA championship is the most important part but the fact they keep getting the lakers picks and having a top draft pick damn that really is impressive, we are gonna look back at this trade in 10 years and see who truly won especially since the pelicans could win multiple championships in this time period.
well, THAT particular no-fan no-travel + 4-month break 'championship' tournament is worth a few asterisks at best, and is just a reminder of a botched year, at worst. It didn't settle anything noteworthy or meaningful; it happened to help the NBA stay afloat with ad revenue, mostly.
What confuses me is why GMs think trading 1st round picks for talent equals championships. It is EXTREMELY rare for a franchise to win ONE championship without at least one of their two best players being a player they drafted (2020 Lakers, 2019 Raptors)...and even more rare to win multiple championships (I gave up looking past 1990). LeBron and the Lakers would likely both been better off with Lonzo, BI, Hart, Kuzma, GOATruso.
Why the Lakers don’t bring back Carmelo and Dwight is beyond me. Both are unassigned. Sure they’re old, but Melo can give you better shooting and Dwight can give you some rebounding and rim protection.
Howard to 76ers, Cousins to Nets, he'll fit right in, he's a good big man center, can shoot a 3 unlike Simmons and Claxton and he's as disfunctional as the rest of the team, so when it works Nets will be on fire, when it doesn't work it'll be a beautiful disaster.
People dont give ben simmons credit for his best attributes. Going from having ben simmons on defense to harden is far from ideal and probably a major factor for their defensive woes
The Lakers won in 2020 But after that, the teams and the players tought that bring superstars and let them play will be enough. It's almost a relief that all these superteams failed. It shows that no, LeBron, KD, Harden... You might be magnificent players, you are not GM, and you should NOT trying to be one.
Actually, Lebron wanted Derozan. The LA front office didn't want to give Derozan a 3rd year though and shelved that. Westbrook was plan B. So Lebron deserves some flack for cosigning THAT, but the LA front office deserves a lot more for not making a far better trade. The fact is, the front office doesn't seem to have any faith their window to contend is very long. Which has become a self fulfilling prophecy because by eschewing players with multiple years on their contracts and preferring 1 or 2 year signings, they've badly limited their options and put themselves in a corner, all of which HAS derailed their contention window. Shoot, this offseason it has been reported that they turned down multiple offers that could have helped this roster tremendously, with one of their hang ups being rhat acquiring guys with multiple years left will eat up next offseason's cap.
Definitely the worst part for this NBA season for sure the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled , and sadly their first round pick will go to the Pelicans , it’s not a surprise that they’re being treated as a joke for sure , and rightfully so because of there’s no shooting around LeBron
I think harden should just accept extra 15 million he sacrificed for the team....He should know his prime already over for 3 years ago and accept the bag
The Lakers need to arrive to their practice gym early and make 10000 shots a damn day to achieve at atleast the 8th seed. The Lakers is like watching Jojo without the twist.
Eh for the Clippers its too early to judge and Kawhi and the Clippers dont care about those analysts their are focused on Kawhi being healthy in the Playoffs and getting a decent seeding in the west (prefered top 5 seed) cuz if Kawhi got injured again bcuz of playing him too much early in the season hes gonna critized of as injury prone player he cant win with these so called "analysts" lol
Crazy to think Kawhi barely played b2b when he was healthy then still gets injured. Was he included in the top 75? Dude had a great resume but idk, something isnt right about him. Great player though
Honestly Joel embid is one to take most of the blame every game I’ve watched this season his paint defence has been so bad. Him and doc rivers are the number one problems right now.
5:50 you cannot compare the nets roster to the lakers. They don’t just have “a bunch of scrubs” that is so disrespectful and false to say. Some of the best shooters in the league in Seth curry and joe Harris. One of the more underrated defenders in the league in Royce O’Neal. Ben Simmons started of terribly but I don’t see that happening all season. Patty Mills is still out there, granted he’s not getting much playing time. The lakers squad is far worst 3-12 than the nets
I think the era of forming "super teams" and winning championshipa is past, imo. It worked once when Durant joined GSW, and that's it. Just look in the recent years, except Lakers winning in bubble in 2019-2020, which of these so called "super-teams" participated in the Finals?
The clippers and the chargers suffer similar. Fates they both left a market they shouldn't have in San Diego that love them and they both have weird flooky injuries that doesn't happen to other teams, but I think it's because they shouldn't be where they are. But here we are more power to both of them lol
Doc has got to go. Why aren't Harrell and Thybulle getting more minutes? Why did we not sign Malik Monk and overpay for PJ. Embiid cannot be focal point of offense and run down to defend fast break. Harrell should be played with Embiid at times...
The worst part about the winless Lakers: is their pick is going to the New Orleans Pelicans. They’re going to be the next NBA superteam.

AD sat out last night with back soreness. This guy is under 30 years old and after 4 games his back is too sore to play. Here's to AD missing 30 games again this season.
My man Rick Kamla. We missed you on NBA TV. Please come back to the Turner Sports family.
I was recently wondering where he ended up. I Liked his commentary and analysis on NBA TV. It would be nice to see him back.
"I heard a tweak send him to the line"
The Celtics figured out things past the All-Star break there’s still time not for the Lakers though I’m just being realistic.
Kawhi and Paul George are my favorite players In the league right now
Honestly can we admit Lebron James, in the twilight of his career, whos strickly staying around to win and also hopefully play with his son..is carrying this team and putting up pretty solid stats every game. Still getting after it at an elite level for his age. I’ll actually cut him some slack on this one, being that the rest of the team is hot garbage. The two other big names on the team, between Russ and AD, are so unreliable in their own special ways which makes the whole situation even worse..
You’re the only RUclipsr I’ve got notifications on for! You’re the best!
Who knew that Lakers and Nets were favored to compete and meet in the NBA Finals but then, it never happened.
Lmao ain’t no way too early when it comes to the Lakers😂
Hasn’t it only been a week?
Why was that analyst so pissed? Someone please give him a hug LOL
As a Celtics fan it has been alarming how bad our defence has been. I get we don’t hv Timelord but he won’t fix our perimeter defence. Hopefully this is just a mirage and we go back to having lockdown defence, cause our offence is SCARY
Who is that? Robert William 3rd?
@@coops1992 Indeed
Timelord is probably the coolest nickname of an active NBA player today.
Pat Bev and Nunn disappoint me the most because u expect them to be able to shoot and they can’t shoot.
You can add the Warriors and the Heat to this list as well. The Warriors currently have the worst defence in the league and their young guns are not delivering yet, Kuminga and Wiseman are barely playing last few games.
I don’t think that Miami will make it past the second round of the playoffs.
I wish they had some sort of small cannon that could shoot the ball in the air for the tip off!
I haven't pegged any of these teams as true contenders anyway. There's no depth, especially when nearly 50% of their caps go to 2-3 players. Rebuilds on the fly rarely work and the stars think they know better than their coaches and gm's.
It's Suns/Grizzlies out of the West and Bucks/Celtics out East. Everyone else is just something to talk about in the meantime.
The sixers actually played much better without Embiid, so the problem with our defense can't be lack of back up bigmen. Every clip you showed Embiid was on the floor and late on a rotation or just out of position. Also Matisse's lack of shooting is a huge disadvantage especially in the playoffs. It's essentially 5 on 4 because his man is always doubling in the ball handler. We need to iron out our rotation and revamp the offense to be more motion and less isos and Embiid post ups. That seemed to be the biggest difference between how we played with and without Embiid.
Even as A Cs fan. I already know Maxey has been underrated with the 76ers. The only player that I want to succeed in the future.
And I'm saying it as a rival
Personally I think the lakers have to trade AD away like he’s always injured and the lakers looked good without him even tho they lost
Trade for shooters and a solid center and they’ll be a playoff team
The sixers will be fine. Give them a month and they will be the top team mark my words
You said nothing wrong about my Sixers
Bro did you just say "Its KD and Kyrie with a bunch of scrubs" ??
That might just be the most horrendous take I've heard in the last month...
I probably would've also put up miami as well
I have never seen a report saying Lebron wanted Westbrick, I’ve only ever seen reports saying he wanted Demar instead but the front office traded for Westbrick
All right Andy Hoops Saturday’s YESSIR
ad to portland blazers with dame can be pretty good. Nurkic as back up center. Lakers need players line Bojan Bogdonovic .
Man I was feeling completely WTF with Thybulles situation. Thanks for pointing it out
Yeah Heat need to adjust
Def still figuring out the rotation and not having dipo and yurt hurts we'll be a solid 3-4 seed
Just saying Frank Vogel is open right now. He is a far better coach than doc rivers is.
What exactly is wrong with Doc? I've never been able to figure that one out. 🤔🤔🤔
@@pittland44 Hey all I know is that mofo is still stealing cheques for over a decade now. Apart from that championship ran in boston he is useless and people like stephen wont call him out just because he is black and are scared that a black men will be out from his job
tobais haris….that is the real issue
I really don't see no team beating the warriors no time soon.... NONE
A healthy Bucks team will
I think a couple teams CAN beat them but they’re still a team no one wants to face
I think the pelicans won the trade lol, not from the actual trade since no matter what a NBA championship is the most important part but the fact they keep getting the lakers picks and having a top draft pick damn that really is impressive, we are gonna look back at this trade in 10 years and see who truly won especially since the pelicans could win multiple championships in this time period.
yeah they really could,and yeah we will in the next decade.
well, THAT particular no-fan no-travel + 4-month break 'championship' tournament is worth a few asterisks at best,
and is just a reminder of a botched year, at worst.
It didn't settle anything noteworthy or meaningful; it happened to help the NBA stay afloat with ad revenue, mostly.
I agree with your take on the 76ers not playing montrez PJ taking a younger better player spot stuff crazy over their
Same here play them and for the love of god give them a defense coach to help Doc that was one of his main weakness.
What confuses me is why GMs think trading 1st round picks for talent equals championships.
It is EXTREMELY rare for a franchise to win ONE championship without at least one of their two best players being a player they drafted (2020 Lakers, 2019
Raptors)...and even more rare to win multiple championships (I gave up looking past 1990).
LeBron and the Lakers would likely both been better off with Lonzo, BI, Hart, Kuzma, GOATruso.
The WB experiment is not working the 2020 championship is so irrelevant it's really sad and depressing man to be a Lakers fan.
After the Nets' 10th straight win, this video DID age well
Why the Lakers don’t bring back Carmelo and Dwight is beyond me. Both are unassigned. Sure they’re old, but Melo can give you better shooting and Dwight can give you some rebounding and rim protection.
You should do a list of teams that can win the nba finals
Howard to 76ers, Cousins to Nets, he'll fit right in, he's a good big man center, can shoot a 3 unlike Simmons and Claxton and he's as disfunctional as the rest of the team, so when it works Nets will be on fire, when it doesn't work it'll be a beautiful disaster.
I like how u said in the beginning it’s to early they can all turn it around but it is fun to overreact 🤣
People dont give ben simmons credit for his best attributes. Going from having ben simmons on defense to harden is far from ideal and probably a major factor for their defensive woes
im so happy these big market teams just cant buy their way out to a championship anymore
maxey will thrive in a guard-centric offense but as long as embiid is in the 76ers the offense will run through him.
westbrook may be a major problem with the lakers, but there's also a problem with how the lakers run their offense
I think you're forgetting about the Lakers Superstar Maddy ice
The Lakers won in 2020
But after that, the teams and the players tought that bring superstars and let them play will be enough.
It's almost a relief that all these superteams failed. It shows that no, LeBron, KD, Harden... You might be magnificent players, you are not GM, and you should NOT trying to be one.
Actually, Lebron wanted Derozan. The LA front office didn't want to give Derozan a 3rd year though and shelved that. Westbrook was plan B. So Lebron deserves some flack for cosigning THAT, but the LA front office deserves a lot more for not making a far better trade. The fact is, the front office doesn't seem to have any faith their window to contend is very long. Which has become a self fulfilling prophecy because by eschewing players with multiple years on their contracts and preferring 1 or 2 year signings, they've badly limited their options and put themselves in a corner, all of which HAS derailed their contention window. Shoot, this offseason it has been reported that they turned down multiple offers that could have helped this roster tremendously, with one of their hang ups being rhat acquiring guys with multiple years left will eat up next offseason's cap.
Not gonna mention zubac? Dudes playing amazing 10 ppg 12 rpg 3 bpg
Sixers are on a 3 game winning streak. I hate how the media has made hot takes a normality.
Definitely the worst part for this NBA season for sure the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled , and sadly their first round pick will go to the Pelicans , it’s not a surprise that they’re being treated as a joke for sure , and rightfully so because of there’s no shooting around LeBron
There ARE some people who are quite happy the Lakers are struggling…..
@@juliothom2408 I know I am.
I think harden should just accept extra 15 million he sacrificed for the team....He should know his prime already over for 3 years ago and accept the bag
The Lakers need to arrive to their practice gym early and make 10000 shots a damn day to achieve at atleast the 8th seed. The Lakers is like watching Jojo without the twist.
Kyrie-Drama effect 🤣😅😂
Can doc please play korkmaz, shake, and matisse? They got too much talent to get 0 playing time
Eh for the Clippers its too early to judge and Kawhi and the Clippers dont care about those analysts their are focused on Kawhi being healthy in the Playoffs and getting a decent seeding in the west (prefered top 5 seed) cuz if Kawhi got injured again bcuz of playing him too much early in the season hes gonna critized of as injury prone player he cant win with these so called "analysts" lol
Crazy to think Kawhi barely played b2b when he was healthy then still gets injured. Was he included in the top 75? Dude had a great resume but idk, something isnt right about him. Great player though
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
Heat fan here I would had the Heat to this list. There's just something going wrong right now
Yea it’s called injuries and a rough schedule
Honestly Joel embid is one to take most of the blame every game I’ve watched this season his paint defence has been so bad. Him and doc rivers are the number one problems right now.
Doc Rivers not playing Harrell sounds like a grudge to me.
5:50 you cannot compare the nets roster to the lakers. They don’t just have “a bunch of scrubs” that is so disrespectful and false to say. Some of the best shooters in the league in Seth curry and joe Harris. One of the more underrated defenders in the league in Royce O’Neal. Ben Simmons started of terribly but I don’t see that happening all season. Patty Mills is still out there, granted he’s not getting much playing time. The lakers squad is far worst 3-12 than the nets
I can't believe that PJ is in starting five,and Clipps will never be actual contender for the Finals. It's that simple.
I surprise you didn't put my Heat in here. Right now they playing like a tank team and not willing to make the playoff
Philly's bench and three point has let a lot to desire
I think the era of forming "super teams" and winning championshipa is past, imo. It worked once when Durant joined GSW, and that's it. Just look in the recent years, except Lakers winning in bubble in 2019-2020, which of these so called "super-teams" participated in the Finals?
The clippers and the chargers suffer similar. Fates they both left a market they shouldn't have in San Diego that love them and they both have weird flooky injuries that doesn't happen to other teams, but I think it's because they shouldn't be where they are. But here we are more power to both of them lol
John doing pretty going this season
Doc has got to go. Why aren't Harrell and Thybulle getting more minutes? Why did we not sign Malik Monk and overpay for PJ. Embiid cannot be focal point of offense and run down to defend fast break. Harrell should be played with Embiid at times...
you have 2 all star & lose to a team that does not have an all star and pretty much a very young team? thats coaching problem
