Just from watching Laker games it was quite apparent that Ham didn't know how to make in game adjustments and seemingly was unable to call time outs when they needed them. Not saying he was the only reason, but he was a big part of it. Sooo many big leads blown and close losses that could have been saved by just stopping the bleeding with a time out. He was just not experienced enough.

@@1alterego2go79maybe the coaching is the reason they even got 47. They could’ve easily won 35 games. The league blessed them with more free throws than 98 percent of the league. 😅 before ham got to La Lakers were missing the play in let alone the playoffs. It’s always the coach on that one guys team when they lose. 7 coaches in 21 seasons. 😅
Wildes came with the 🔥🔥🔥 today!!! Lol don’t let him off the hook. Sports media needs you!! Lol it can’t be every coaches fault every time a certain somebody comes up short!
I’m kinda glad Brou said what he said regarding Brunson as the Knicks GOAT. JB is a special player, but it’s disrespectful to overlook Ewing who got to two Finals with the Knicks.
If the Knicks make it to the finals that’s not an argument anymore. I think Brou’s just saying “I wanna see it first” What has SGA shown us, and it’s not crazy to call him a superstar.
Not to mention the fact that he's only had two years as a uniquely special player. Ewing, Frazier, and Reed are far more impactful in the team's history, and Debusschere actually finished his career there as a five-time All Star.
Brunson makes a finals he's better than Ewing lmao. Ewing made 2 finals and the only reason for them was Jordan retired. He had to get through legitimately no threat in the conference cause everyone was old or young and he had the best team with Jordan gone. Ewing was also not a closer while Brunson is the definition of one. No one said Brunson was better than Ewing, Melo, King, and so on, right at this moment. They said he can potentially be the best Knick of all time and if he leads them to a ring, he would be. This was also said by Ewing's own teammates lmao.
The Lakers management did not want to release Ham, but I promise you the exit interview with the players changed their tune. Ham never had the locker room. AD's comments, DLO's comments, the fact that not one player ever stood up for him or praised him in any way, says it all.
It doesn't make much sense changing the coach, when LeBron is the problem. But the coaches who sign with the Lakers know, if LeBron loses, everyone else takes the blame. Maybe it reads on the contract, already.
@@penkima4923 What wrong has Lebro done now. Him and AD played well. The other role palyers for the nuggets outplayed the Lakers role players. When you missing vando, reddish and wood it aint rocket science
@@joelwafula2607 LeBron plays like he has always played. He shares the basketball only then, if his own stats are good enough for him to be considered the best player on the team.
It took Ham more than half the season to figure out his best starting lineup was his five best players. Bring Frank Vogel back. They never should have let him go. He was the scapegoat for the Russell Westbrook trade.
Imagine blaming Vogel for those two dumpster fire organizations. As someone who watched his lakers very closely, he is an elite coach, especially defensively. He should never have been fired when Pelinka made such a horrible trade that had no chance of working. Pelinka has to stop getting cute, get a good defensive center who can play alongside AD, and they will improve tremendously.
@@Infinityflow0 Nothing can help Lakers, especially Vogel. They have avg. roster with stars who aren't top 20 players anymore. You can talk to yourself they need one change, but they need a lot more. You do realise other teams are trying to improve themselves also and they are also becoming better. Except Bubble season, which we can all agree was unusual and specific, Lakers with LBJ never got better than 7th seed, they missed 2x playoffs, they were 2x 1st round exit and they had 1 good playoff run where they were lucky to play dysfunctional teams which had more problems than them (but you take what's offered to you). Those are Facts. I see one big problem to solve first and than you can start solving all others.
@MarioCindric nahh on bringing back Franky V....but 100% the line ups. It took him a years and a half to settle on a line up. Rui and Reeves we're coming off the bench.
Darvin’s rotation in the regular season is why they even had to face Denver in round 1. Not all his fault but he was doing questionable stuff all year it’s more than just the playoffs.
Literally! Why they act like the season didn’t happen. Bro had the most questionable lineups i ever seen. It got to the point where they were the 13th seed in the west
@@PeterM8987 I said in my original comment that it wasn’t all his fault. But the topic of discussion is the coach so I was demonstrating what the part he played was. But in all honesty a conference finals run and losing to the defending champs the following year isn’t too worthy of being fired in my opinion especially with all the disfuntion he had to deal with but I don’t think he has a clear vision in how he wants to coach. His philosophies are random and inconsistent, never knew what kinda team or rotation you would get from night to night.
Nick Wright before the season: “Lakers win the offseason” LeBron before the season starts: tweeting hourglass emojis Now Nick never believed in the roster 😂🤣😂🤣
That’s the point, he liked the roster enough to claim they won the offseason. He liked the roster and COACH enough to pick them to beat the Nuggets in 6, he liked the roster after they won the in season tournament, and liked it enough after they played well beating tomato cans in the latter part of the season, but when they lose, it’s the GM’s fault for the roster and Darvin Ham didn’t maximize they players 😂🤣😂
@@juicelord4792 Him picking the Lakers was predicated on the idea that the Nuggets would not be able to duplicate their unicorn performance last year in the WCF (Jokic’s BS granny shots at the buzzer, Murray turning into Prime Jordan, etc.) Other than the late game Murray shots, he was right and the Lakers did play a better series. The nuggets are just really good. Also, it has to do with the idea that Lebron and AD would have fresher legs and be more productive. Which they BOTH were. So yeah, it was faith in the roster and expecting the Nuggets to not have a Cinderella series. He’s been anti-Ham for months.
Embiid's legacy will be choking in the playoffs and getting a pity mvp. That's it. Don't let the media fool you into believing he is an all time great, he's not.
@@ralx225b Embiid had the stats for MVP. Turdbrain Perk making some racist case for him was a reason not to give him the award. And Embiid whining for the award, flopping and deliberately causing injuries to opponents, weren't good reasons. And faking his own injuries if he didn't feel like showing up for the fans, that his team needed to pay fines for.
By this logic Shai isn't a superstar, Ant isn't a superstar, LUKA is barely a superstar... IDK Jalen has been a top 5 player all year. Kinda crazy to say he's not a superstar
Brunson hasn't been putting up superstar numbers in the regular season or in the playoffs. He didn't have an MVP year. Shai and Ant haven't played in the playoffs at all. Luka has put up better numbers than Brunson for far longer than Brunson, but not on the greatest team.
@@penkima4923 Brunson averages the 4th highest ppg in the regular season, averages the 2nd highest ppg if you take out free throws from everyone’s average, is averaging the highest ppg in the postseason.

Nick spewed all season how the Lakers "won the offseason" and were gonna win a title, now its everyone else's fault that didn't happen. Classic garbage analysis by yours truly
😮 As a 62 yr old NativebNew Yorker, I agree. One great year that's also his first great year, doesn't make Brunson a superstar. It's made him an allmstarvthis season. A Superstar is sustained greatness, several seasons. Bernard King is my favorite Knick.
Help me understand why so many sports commentators believe that Ty Lue is a great coach. What has he done since the Lebron championship? He has as many NBA championships as Doc and Vogel. Last year Ham got much further than he did, and this year he's likely to get as far as Ham. So, help me understand why he's a better coach that Doc, or Frank Vogel, or even Ham?
Uh he’s constantly put the clippers in positions to succeed with his 2 best players always missing games. Like how many coaches win 45-50 games every year despite not knowing if PG13 or Kawhi were gonna play on a game to game basis?
Coaching is more roster and luck based than anything. Phil Jackson was the GOAT Coach when he had MJ Kobe and Shaq, but when didn't he wasn't the legendary coach anymore. Ty Lue can't win with losers like Harden and PG and the broken down Kawhi. You can't win an F1 race in a ford focus no matter who is driving it.
@@Maxrepfitgm I can't agree more. But my question remains. If it's about roster and luck, and if other coaches with less talented teams keep making it further than Ty Lue's teams, why do thy sports commentators keep heaping praise on him like he's an extraordinary coach?
@@PureMajic Lebron likes him for one...and some of these commentators....what Lebron likes they like. If he coached the Lakers next year and Lebron soured on him they would sour on him too. Broussard also, along with his radio co-host Rob Parker, also has a habit of not blaming certain coaches but is happy to throw others under the bus.
The last Lakers coach to be with the team longer than 3 seasons was phil, who left in 2011. Part of the issue is not having more consistency with players and coaching staff.
@penkima4923 I don't know exactly what you mean by that, but I will say because the lakers have lebron James, there is a sense that any season without a championship is a failure. That notion does play into the coaching, and player changes whether lebron is actually making those decisions or not. On the court lebron is good, no complaints. I wish I could say the lakers just weren't good enough to beat the defending champion Nuggets but the series showed lakers just struggled in the 3rd quarter and closing. 🤷♂️
This is equivalent to Milwaukee firing Adrian Griffin… will produce the same results. New coach next year and we’re going to get the same results because the team is mid
It’s funny how Nick always tries to put Lebron and his team(s) in the same sentence as Pat Mahomes and his team. Pat Mahomes greatness in the nfl at this stage of his career has already surpassed Lebron greatness when he was at that age…smh
NFL isn't comparable to the NBA because Mahomes plays offense only. NBA you have to play both. Plus, Mahomes has a stable head coach. LeBron lobbied for Ty Lue after Luke Walton got fired and the Lakers front office said, "Nope." Now, in hindsight, it would've been the smart hire because the Clippers will never let him go to the Lakers.
I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but don't forget the Cavs fired David Blatt the year after winning the Eastern conference championship and going to the Finals.
@@penkima4923 Maxey played better than Brunson? Haha you realise the whole defense is built around stopping Embiid right? Give Brunson an MVP costar and I'm sure he'd cook even more
@@Jcook941 Maxey didn't have an MVP co-star. And Maxey didn't choke and poop his pants in his home court for the second year in a row, his team's legendary players in the stands watching.
How about the team (Lebron is old as all heck so yeah he has a bit of an excuse) that's where the coach comes in and motivates the role players to at least pick up a bit of the load. Lebron as old as he is showed up and played pretty well during the series. AD did well also, the roleplayers......not so much.
The Brunson take is insane. Yes he’s a superstar. Having no second option majority of the season being a 2 seed averaging 28 ppg. Winning playoff series vs a great team averaging 36 and 9 yes he’s a superstar bro. What else do you want from him??? Maybe he has to win next series with a hand behind his back too. If Anthony Edwards is in how isn’t Brunson HUH😭
28 points per game is rookie numbers in today's league. And Maxey averaged more in the series. If Nick says there's 12 players in the club superstar, then that means that number is way too high.
For Brou who always judges by “what have you done for me lately” he sure is going against his own beliefs saying Brunson isn’t a superstar right now. Who cares if it’s a new development? No one is stopping him this season
11:18 Crazy to say he's not due to one post season when this is his 3rd straight post season where he was widely the best player on the floor in his series

They were not good enough
@@1alterego2go79maybe the coaching is the reason they even got 47. They could’ve easily won 35 games. The league blessed them with more free throws than 98 percent of the league. 😅 before ham got to La Lakers were missing the play in let alone the playoffs. It’s always the coach on that one guys team when they lose. 7 coaches in 21 seasons. 😅
I love this energy from Broussard lol
Wildes came with the 🔥🔥🔥 today!!! Lol don’t let him off the hook. Sports media needs you!! Lol it can’t be every coaches fault every time a certain somebody comes up short!
Here's your cookie for being first....🍪

To be fair Wildes whole argument against Anthony Edwards was made out of a fake stat
@@merlehexum3932 you must not watch the show often… lol with that he’s shooting 9/10
5:08 Wildes absolutely cooked
I’m kinda glad Brou said what he said regarding Brunson as the Knicks GOAT. JB is a special player, but it’s disrespectful to overlook Ewing who got to two Finals with the Knicks.
If the Knicks make it to the finals that’s not an argument anymore. I think Brou’s just saying “I wanna see it first”
What has SGA shown us, and it’s not crazy to call him a superstar.
Not to mention the fact that he's only had two years as a uniquely special player. Ewing, Frazier, and Reed are far more impactful in the team's history, and Debusschere actually finished his career there as a five-time All Star.
@@pemp9606doesn’t matter Ewing clears by a lot
If Ewing would have done what he could to play in that second Finals, they probably could have grabbed a title. They were undersized against SA.
Brunson makes a finals he's better than Ewing lmao. Ewing made 2 finals and the only reason for them was Jordan retired. He had to get through legitimately no threat in the conference cause everyone was old or young and he had the best team with Jordan gone. Ewing was also not a closer while Brunson is the definition of one. No one said Brunson was better than Ewing, Melo, King, and so on, right at this moment. They said he can potentially be the best Knick of all time and if he leads them to a ring, he would be. This was also said by Ewing's own teammates lmao.
Broussard was summoning his inner Stephen A Smith.
So, Brou stopped being a real journalist momentarily.
The Lakers management did not want to release Ham, but I promise you the exit interview with the players changed their tune. Ham never had the locker room. AD's comments, DLO's comments, the fact that not one player ever stood up for him or praised him in any way, says it all.
Nailed it
It doesn't make much sense changing the coach, when LeBron is the problem. But the coaches who sign with the Lakers know, if LeBron loses, everyone else takes the blame. Maybe it reads on the contract, already.
@@penkima4923 What wrong has Lebro done now. Him and AD played well. The other role palyers for the nuggets outplayed the Lakers role players. When you missing vando, reddish and wood it aint rocket science
@@joelwafula2607 LeBron plays like he has always played. He shares the basketball only then, if his own stats are good enough for him to be considered the best player on the team.
This is the best sports show on tv!!! Wildes is amazing
It took Ham more than half the season to figure out his best starting lineup was his five best players.
Bring Frank Vogel back. They never should have let him go. He was the scapegoat for the Russell Westbrook trade.
Yeah, he did such a great job in Orlando and Phoenix.
Imagine blaming Vogel for those two dumpster fire organizations. As someone who watched his lakers very closely, he is an elite coach, especially defensively. He should never have been fired when Pelinka made such a horrible trade that had no chance of working. Pelinka has to stop getting cute, get a good defensive center who can play alongside AD, and they will improve tremendously.
@@Infinityflow0 Nothing can help Lakers, especially Vogel. They have avg. roster with stars who aren't top 20 players anymore. You can talk to yourself they need one change, but they need a lot more. You do realise other teams are trying to improve themselves also and they are also becoming better. Except Bubble season, which we can all agree was unusual and specific, Lakers with LBJ never got better than 7th seed, they missed 2x playoffs, they were 2x 1st round exit and they had 1 good playoff run where they were lucky to play dysfunctional teams which had more problems than them (but you take what's offered to you). Those are Facts. I see one big problem to solve first and than you can start solving all others.
@MarioCindric nahh on bringing back Franky V....but 100% the line ups. It took him a years and a half to settle on a line up. Rui and Reeves we're coming off the bench.
Why would Vogel want to come back after the way he was treated?
Brou poppin off at 13:50😂😂😂
Darvin’s rotation in the regular season is why they even had to face Denver in round 1. Not all his fault but he was doing questionable stuff all year it’s more than just the playoffs.
Literally! Why they act like the season didn’t happen. Bro had the most questionable lineups i ever seen. It got to the point where they were the 13th seed in the west
The amount of games TP and Cam were forced into the starting line up costed the Lakers a lot of games.
They were not forced he started them over dlo and reeves for no reason. Reeves played all 82 no excuse @@misora25chan
Blame the coach, not the players. Really?
@@PeterM8987 I said in my original comment that it wasn’t all his fault. But the topic of discussion is the coach so I was demonstrating what the part he played was. But in all honesty a conference finals run and losing to the defending champs the following year isn’t too worthy of being fired in my opinion especially with all the disfuntion he had to deal with but I don’t think he has a clear vision in how he wants to coach. His philosophies are random and inconsistent, never knew what kinda team or rotation you would get from night to night.
The bias towards Brunson is sickening. The fact that he’s not even in the MVP convo is criminal
Nick trying to make the club superstar a 12 player club is more sickening. Slap yourself awake.
$5 says doc rivers
Wildes been cooking this clown lately and I for 1 love it !!
Nick Wright before the season: “Lakers win the offseason”
LeBron before the season starts: tweeting hourglass emojis
Now Nick never believed in the roster 😂🤣😂🤣
He can like the roster and dislike the coach. These aren’t mutually exclusive.
That’s the point, he liked the roster enough to claim they won the offseason. He liked the roster and COACH enough to pick them to beat the Nuggets in 6, he liked the roster after they won the in season tournament, and liked it enough after they played well beating tomato cans in the latter part of the season, but when they lose, it’s the GM’s fault for the roster and Darvin Ham didn’t maximize they players 😂🤣😂
@@juicelord4792 Him picking the Lakers was predicated on the idea that the Nuggets would not be able to duplicate their unicorn performance last year in the WCF (Jokic’s BS granny shots at the buzzer, Murray turning into Prime Jordan, etc.) Other than the late game Murray shots, he was right and the Lakers did play a better series. The nuggets are just really good.
Also, it has to do with the idea that Lebron and AD would have fresher legs and be more productive. Which they BOTH were. So yeah, it was faith in the roster and expecting the Nuggets to not have a Cinderella series. He’s been anti-Ham for months.
@@juicelord4792he actually said that ? Wow 😂
@@iang7244but lebron is the goat despite unicorn miracle shots from Ray Allen and Kyrie giving him half of his rings
And there it is. BROU caught with a Freudian slip. Now we understand his refusal to give Jalen his props.
Embiid's legacy will be choking in the playoffs and getting a pity mvp. That's it. Don't let the media fool you into believing he is an all time great, he's not.
He is good in the regular season but doesn't have any durability. And yeah he shouldn't have gotten that MVP. Jokic should have 4 MVP's right now.
@@ralx225b Embiid had the stats for MVP. Turdbrain Perk making some racist case for him was a reason not to give him the award. And Embiid whining for the award, flopping and deliberately causing injuries to opponents, weren't good reasons. And faking his own injuries if he didn't feel like showing up for the fans, that his team needed to pay fines for.
By this logic Shai isn't a superstar, Ant isn't a superstar, LUKA is barely a superstar... IDK Jalen has been a top 5 player all year. Kinda crazy to say he's not a superstar
Had a super year, whatever else you wanna say.
@@mikeottersole Had an MVP Year
@@mikeottersole So what about last year where the only people who had a better series than him scoring wise were, Jimmy round 1 and Murray finals?
Brunson hasn't been putting up superstar numbers in the regular season or in the playoffs. He didn't have an MVP year. Shai and Ant haven't played in the playoffs at all. Luka has put up better numbers than Brunson for far longer than Brunson, but not on the greatest team.
@@penkima4923 Brunson averages the 4th highest ppg in the regular season, averages the 2nd highest ppg if you take out free throws from everyone’s average, is averaging the highest ppg in the postseason. And is doing it on great efficiency. Go ahead and explain wtf superstar numbers are if he’s not putting them up. Y’all just chat with 0 logic. 😭😭
Also wildes cooked again
new york just officially declared jalen brunson the king of new york.
Theres no way Brou keeps saying Rick 🤣🤣
Man Nick is right on point with my respect someone that knows the detail of the game
Here is the media not pointing the finger at Leflop
Lebron was extremely productive and available this season. What should he have done this far into his career?
@@iang7244 took a pay cut so he could have surrounded himself with a better team like he's always crying about.
@@iang7244 how about play defense? Dude literally stood around, got out rebounded, and didn't get back on defense. Costed them two games. Did you even watch or do you only pay attention to the box score.
@@jeffkahler6212 Then you would flame him for building a super team. We know the playbook.
@@b.r3228 lmao. What’s the take? Lebron sacrifices offensive production for more defensive effort and they win the series? The nuggets are just better. You guys just wanna take a shot at Lebron.
5:10 until the end where wildes finishes, looks at camera, sips his "tea" was epic!!
Nick spewed all season how the Lakers "won the offseason" and were gonna win a title, now its everyone else's fault that didn't happen. Classic garbage analysis by yours truly
SPEAK ON IT!!! Somehow they’ve buried that part of it…
Literally starting the show with all of them talking over each other, so freaking funny!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Another coach bites the dust! ☠️🤣
😮 As a 62 yr old NativebNew Yorker, I agree. One great year that's also his first great year, doesn't make Brunson a superstar. It's made him an allmstarvthis season. A Superstar is sustained greatness, several seasons. Bernard King is my favorite Knick.
looks like admin read my comments lol. the afternoon night midnight uploads will commence
Darvin Ham is full of Nick Wright !!!
Help me understand why so many sports commentators believe that Ty Lue is a great coach. What has he done since the Lebron championship? He has as many NBA championships as Doc and Vogel. Last year Ham got much further than he did, and this year he's likely to get as far as Ham. So, help me understand why he's a better coach that Doc, or Frank Vogel, or even Ham?
Uh he’s constantly put the clippers in positions to succeed with his 2 best players always missing games. Like how many coaches win 45-50 games every year despite not knowing if PG13 or Kawhi were gonna play on a game to game basis?
Coaching is more roster and luck based than anything. Phil Jackson was the GOAT Coach when he had MJ Kobe and Shaq, but when didn't he wasn't the legendary coach anymore. Ty Lue can't win with losers like Harden and PG and the broken down Kawhi. You can't win an F1 race in a ford focus no matter who is driving it.
@@Maxrepfitgm I can't agree more. But my question remains. If it's about roster and luck, and if other coaches with less talented teams keep making it further than Ty Lue's teams, why do thy sports commentators keep heaping praise on him like he's an extraordinary coach?
@@PureMajic Lebron likes him for one...and some of these commentators....what Lebron likes they like. If he coached the Lakers next year and Lebron soured on him they would sour on him too. Broussard also, along with his radio co-host Rob Parker, also has a habit of not blaming certain coaches but is happy to throw others under the bus.
@@KClouisville, agreed
Kevin Wildes is on point!! 🎯
The last Lakers coach to be with the team longer than 3 seasons was phil, who left in 2011. Part of the issue is not having more consistency with players and coaching staff.
Everyone else but LeBron is consistently getting the blame.
@penkima4923 I don't know exactly what you mean by that, but I will say because the lakers have lebron James, there is a sense that any season without a championship is a failure. That notion does play into the coaching, and player changes whether lebron is actually making those decisions or not. On the court lebron is good, no complaints. I wish I could say the lakers just weren't good enough to beat the defending champion Nuggets but the series showed lakers just struggled in the 3rd quarter and closing. 🤷♂️
@@Firefenex1996i think he meant : everyone but lebron get the blame.everyone but him.not him.everyone else.
@@Bountoxx But does that mean he thinks lebron deserves most the blame or is it simply and observation.
The Darvin ham defense is insane
Was a Lakers fan since Wilt and Jerry. Then they got LeJerk.
What amazing emotional intelligence you're displaying...
You display amazing maturity defending millionaires in comment sections@@bamboosho0t
Yea, the Wilt and Jerry, Jabber and Magic show time, Kobe and Shaquille era is much better than Lebron era with the Lakers.
7:05 saying the 2018 Cavs were well coached when that was the year JR Smith had his major blunder is crazy.
This is equivalent to Milwaukee firing Adrian Griffin… will produce the same results. New coach next year and we’re going to get the same results because the team is mid
Maybe Doc Rivers could coach both the Bucks and Lakers at the same time.
Bru's "MY GOD" hit different 😂😂😂
It’s funny how Nick always tries to put Lebron and his team(s) in the same sentence as Pat Mahomes and his team. Pat Mahomes greatness in the nfl at this stage of his career has already surpassed Lebron greatness when he was at that age…smh
NFL isn't comparable to the NBA because Mahomes plays offense only. NBA you have to play both. Plus, Mahomes has a stable head coach. LeBron lobbied for Ty Lue after Luke Walton got fired and the Lakers front office said, "Nope." Now, in hindsight, it would've been the smart hire because the Clippers will never let him go to the Lakers.
Easily surpassed that choker
If you mean both are extremely overrated then yes
Wildes absolutely flame broiled Nick in this segment. There’s absolutely zero accountability from Nick.
Can’t believe they fired him after winning the in season tournament
I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but don't forget the Cavs fired David Blatt the year after winning the Eastern conference championship and going to the Finals.
@@bamboosho0t Both were fired from a team that was coached by LeBron.
Wildes!!!! Called Nick out!!!! 100% on the mark!!!!!
Lakers don't have a coaching problem, the squad ain't gud enough
It’s both tbh
I do blame the performance of the players more than he coach. The Lakers aren’t even bad, the nuggets are really good.
For hitting 2 game winning shots in the last 5 seconds in a series, Murray should be granted at least a temporary pass into Club Superstar.
For being the best guard in the league for 5 years should grant him the pass.
Brunson singlehandedly beats the reigning MVP plus another all star in the playoffs. Somehow still not a superstar 😂
He's an idiot
The reigning MVP played on one foot. This was one playoff round, and the first round at that. And Maxey played a better series than Brunson.
@@penkima4923 Maxey played better than Brunson? Haha you realise the whole defense is built around stopping Embiid right? Give Brunson an MVP costar and I'm sure he'd cook even more
@@penkima4923dude stop
@@Jcook941 Maxey didn't have an MVP co-star. And Maxey didn't choke and poop his pants in his home court for the second year in a row, his team's legendary players in the stands watching.
What does “Austin Reaves was bleeping the bed, to Dave Mcminam” mean ??
Darvin Ham was fired game 4, when Lebron yelled at him for not calling a challenge on a play. LeGM back at it again.
When do we get the blame pie segment?
Yes Brunson is a superstar
Asstocks caught me off guard again lol
I thought the JJ and LeBron podcast came out of nowhere...it makes sense now.
JJ was saying stuff like Pippen was better than Jordan, for 5 years.
This is a good show because they talk about the nuances
Both AD and Lebron disappeared in the fourth Quarters. That's on them not coaching
How about the team (Lebron is old as all heck so yeah he has a bit of an excuse) that's where the coach comes in and motivates the role players to at least pick up a bit of the load. Lebron as old as he is showed up and played pretty well during the series. AD did well also, the roleplayers......not so much.
LeBron didn't play good enough for three quarters, to agree to share the rock with AD in the fourth.
@@penkima4923 what on earth are you talking about lol.
@@parkinsaw LeBron hogging the ball from AD.
Wut? Lebron led fourth quarter scoring in these playoffs. AD...disappearing act, whether do to coaching or fatigue, I dunno.
I never get tired of listening to Brou pronounce Joel Embid 😂
Is that how he pronounces his name?
Dare I say it, Brunson looking like AI so far in these playoffs
No doubt
Brunson's shooting is trash, but it's not A.I.-level dog shyte.
Wildes absolutely COOKING
First one here lol Darvin Scam is finally gone 🗣️👏🏾
His next job should be to replace LeBron as the Lakers' head coach.
THANK YOU WILDES 🥇
Barkley warned these fools like nick for talking about lebum and Stephen making deep play off runs 😂
Ooohh, LeBum. What are you,9?
Wildes has absolutely been cooking lately
The Brunson take is insane. Yes he’s a superstar. Having no second option majority of the season being a 2 seed averaging 28 ppg. Winning playoff series vs a great team averaging 36 and 9 yes he’s a superstar bro. What else do you want from him??? Maybe he has to win next series with a hand behind his back too. If Anthony Edwards is in how isn’t Brunson HUH😭
28 points per game is rookie numbers in today's league. And Maxey averaged more in the series.
If Nick says there's 12 players in the club superstar, then that means that number is way too high.
Stop with the “Embiid was playing on one leg”. Knicks r missing a whole person!
I love how they ignore the common denominator LeBron
Wildes is one of the funniest people in America
I swear this is the only bearable debate show on youtube
For Brou who always judges by “what have you done for me lately” he sure is going against his own beliefs saying Brunson isn’t a superstar right now. Who cares if it’s a new development? No one is stopping him this season
The clutch time is stopping him.
Thank god for Wildes. He keeps Nick in check lol
Broussard's favorite line "let me finish", but cuts Nick off ALLLLLLLLLLLL the time. 🤣😂🤣
Nick doing a range of mental gymnastics to defend his laker takes. Props to wildes for twisting the knife.
You can tell how young these guys are! The Lakers have been this way for ever..
Wildes is all of us 😂
Thanks wildes👍🏾.
11:18 Crazy to say he's not due to one post season when this is his 3rd straight post season where he was widely the best player on the floor in his series
