This is nasty. When it was 1-1 it was all about Steph overtaking LeBron and that the lakers playoff run was done. Warriors got spanked in LA and now they’re finding someone else to blame. Nasty agenda.
If lebron was in this situation Stephen a would be using it as a reason to say he’s not the goat but with Steph, let’s coddle him and talk about how unfair it is lmao
Impossible for that take to happen when the lakers fought from the 7th seed, beat Memphis, and look to beat the defending champs, and if they beat whoever in the next round, for them to have won the west, with a 2-10 start and %2 chance of making the playoffs, it’s nothing but historic
Stephen A can’t admit the Lakers defense made it harder on the Warriors to score 😂. Steph even shot bad from 3 with their defensive schemes especially in the 4th.
Didn’t GS have the lead in the 4th quarter? Were the Lakers waiting to play defense till the last 5 minutes of the game. GS choked it like they been doing all year on the road.
Nope He gave Draymond a pass (pun intended) when Draymond should've made sure the play was working but just assumed so. Never assume anything.

They just repeat what they remember from playing as excuses instead of analyzing what actually happened on the play.
Here's a fun stat: Stephen Curry is now 0-for-14 from the field to take the lead in the final 50 seconds of a playoff game. how the media allows him to continuously get away with chocking because he sboots fancy shots is mind blowing. The way the nitpick LeBron when he has better 4th quarterr performance than other superstars blows my mind.

if lebron had that last possession, the narrative would be that he wasn’t clutch and couldn’t get it done down the stretch, but since it’s curry, the narrative is “who is letting curry down” 😂
Sounds like a lot of excuses for Curry choking in last minute of that game 😂 Can’t say Curry is going to take Bron off the Mount Rushmore by winning this series then not put that blame on him. Warriors could’ve won if he didn’t turn the ball over and miss 2 shots in a row.
I wouldn't really call a two hand catch off a jump ball infront of Lebron is a turnover. And the Warriors are different than any other teams we have seen in the past. Their system is linked between all the players, you can't discount that.
That Draymond pass has been something theyve been doing ALL season. They did it to the Kings. Watch all the highlights from Klay. Same 3 pointer, same pass. It was defended this time around. Lakers were ready
As a Warriors fan we lost this game. All we had to do was pick and roll AD like we did the first 3 quarters and for whatever reason we stopped doing it. Then Klay for whatever reason shot two contested 3s in the last two minutes of the game early in the shot clock🤷♂️. Like if I’m Kerr I’m making it clear that we’re pick and rolling AD until they find a way to stop it. The Lakers ran a pick and roll to get Steph switched on Bron cause it was working. You don’t go away from what was working.
I hate questions that ask “did they lose it, or the other team won it”… to me the main answer is that whatever team won that game still won that game lol.
Well sometimes that’s simply not the case. We constantly see teams do the most incompetent things to basically throw the game away, with little effort from their opponent.
Moody wasn’t guarding lonnie tho. It was CURRY. He was getting cooked in the 4th quarter. This lakers squad is DEEP! 1 game it’s AD, another game it’s lebron, another game it’s RUI, another game it’s reaves, another game it’s DLO & now last night it was LONNIE WALKER. That’s depth! . To top it off lakers got the best defense in the NBA since after all star break. They definitely winning a title this season.
thats brons doing,if you watch the game every thing coming from bron was switched to curry,and he got cooked defensively, his legs gave out,reason why his last 2 shots were off,he even got dropped twice during defense,steph pick n roll with drawing AD out from inside worked but steph basicly tried to handle assists and rebounds too with 3 steals,and then needed to make shots since noone else could,they are not winning unless klay and poole give them about 40 combined,cause that means you rely on 4 other roleplayers to get you atleast 10 each while steph puts 35+ like in 2021
I agree but that stat has to die… midseason they showed a stat… easiest path to the playoffs guess who had it, Lakers lol they was supposed to win… my biggest takeaway is midseason the adjustments and trades the lakers made literally made them another team… and they are good
Why is no one talking about Steph Curry choking. He is a huge reason why they lost last night. If Lebron was in this situation we would never hear the end of it. What happened at the end of the game. He had two shots to take the lead and he missed. Crucial turnover at the end also. Yes the stats look good on paper. He was 12/30 and 3/14 from 3. CHOKEJOB
That alteration between Poole and Dray before the season is coming back to haunt the Warriors…Poole seems disinterested and it’s not like Draymond can talk sense into him being the floor general he is because of that alteration Poole don’t respect Draymond anymore
@@lorddevil863those are completely different people with different personalities and they play for teams with different expectations, terrible comparisons
His behavior or bond with his teammates hasn’t changed on or off the court. Bro just got his money and hasn’t lived up to it. He’s had his good games this year and even more bad games. It doesn’t have anything to do with Dray. He just can’t play up the the standards of the contract he got
It’s crazy how the media bends over for steph curry, if lebron or KD were in this exact position the media would be SLANDERING them. They would never ask who’s letting lebron or KD down? They’d point out they’re some of the greatest ever and talk about how they’re letting his team down in crunch time.
Okay, i mean this in no disrespect to Steph Curry but this is disgusting by Stephen A and the media. LeBron has taken EXTREME criticism from losing with less than what Steph had in 2018 and has had his all-time greatness called into question by this same man and said Steph could pass him all time and yet he doesn’t criticize Steph the same way he would LeBron!?!? The media is a bunch of tools pushing an agenda😂
No they don't. Lebron is 38, Reeves shown he can get cooked by Klay. They didn't even play Vanderbilt because even tho he's their best perimeter defender, he is a liability on offense. AD looks lost at times during this game.
Poole has been a blight on the Warriors since before the season began. When I heard about his contract, I knew he was going to be useless going forward. He walked and talked as if entitled and played like he only had to make points to be on the team. His momentum changing turnovers , his complete lack of even minimal defensive effort and his “ I’m great because they paid me” attitude is costing the Warriors the chance at another title run. GET HIM OFF THE WARRIORS!
It’s crazy because both of the defensive actions that JJ spoke about, Lebron called mid play. He pointed out the draymond drive and the switch onto Klay a second before it happened. Read that play to perfection.
He still had a triple double and was a big reason his team had a chance to win. He needed his teammates to step up, especially the big money guys like Poole, Klay and Wiggins and they did not.
The guy that was supposed to knock Bron from the Mount Rushmore of BBall, gets a PASS for raining BRICKS in CLUTCH time? How I wish Bron would get a Pass like this. But it ain't gonna happen.
Ah what! He led the league in 3pt made this year with over 300, changed form or not. His shots aren't going down and that's it. It happens to the best of them.
@@TheOne0816 It's a very different game in the playoffs. It's clearly not working with the playoff defense put on him, the same happened last season as well, plus he's been forcing shots more ever since coming back -- iso jumpers off the dribble, fade aways which he's not used to. He wants to expand his offense which I'm all for but he ain't got the legs for it.
@@relivec Off the dribble, fadeways and iso play has never been Thompsons forte. Although he can do it here and there. The defense as you mentioned sometimes just gets even the best of shooters.
Lakers was always the better team in this series as I've said on any given night six players on Lakers can go for a big night give you 25 to 30 points Walker was him last night let this be an example to young players stay ready your number can be call at anytime 💪🏽🏀 Lakers in 6 game 5 will be the toughest game for Lakers but this series is over who else agree🤔??
Yep. I've commented on many videos from the jump of this series I thought the LAL would win in 5-6 and go all the way. This is one of the only times I can honestly say that LBJ and AD do not have to go for 30-40 per night. If LBJ can muster the strength to attack relentlessly like the past, its surely a wrap. Not going to beat 2 guys who can dominate the paint/rim. They did the same thing in the Bubble.
This Win is a big wake up call to trust each other and give it all u got and take this game with a grain of salt let’s keep this integrity going fwd!!! 😊
I’m a Laker fan, and I’m not delusional enough to think the Lakers’ defense is what made the warriors shoot bad. Wiggins, Klay, Steph, Divencenzo, etc. were open A LOT. They just couldn’t hit. And even when they weren’t hitting in the first half, they still had the lead! Lakers stole this game, but the Warriors def lost it. Steph hits two more 3’s and they win this game, even with bad shooting.
Moody played great on both ends, but agreed with SAS. Lonnie Walker looking unstoppable, you have to put in your stopper in GP2. Inexcusable! AD's defense on Curry gave some Love on Curry PTSD. Klay has championship DNA, but I can't believe he jacked up those two 3s at the end. One of those 3s was deep, just like JP's last shot of game 3. Credit to the Lakers
not to mention klay got a whole 9 points and 2 assists in 41 mins. i think the most annoying thing is how some players arent contributing on both ends of the court. if the shots not falling, play some defense or a rebound or sumn
Stephen A trying to take merit away from GSW so at the same time he can also take merit away from the Lakers, especially on the the defensive side... The chess being played between both head coaches is a big part of this series being as historic as it already is!
@@djedman10 I mean the ratings have been massive for TNT & ESPN so historic in that sense some of the highest ratings in 20 years due to the massive star power & history of the two franchises!
Agreed! It’s been a Fun Series especially because unless there’s a huge lead it’s kinda hard to determine who’ll win. As good as these Games have been the next round will be even better no matter who Wins.
@@franklin8618 What you mean no??? It's definitely a conversation to be had. If he leads a play-in team to a championship, wins his 5th ring and pass 40k in points next season, bruh, there's no question he will have a VERY strong case for being the goat. It shouldn't even be a question at that point.
It’s funny that they say who is lowering Steph down when his teammates not performing, but when LeBron teammates don’t perform, it’s still all on LeBron 😂😂😂
Curry can do no wrong in the media. Drinking challenge everytime SA calls him the greatest shooter ever and never proving further analysis. The agenda is nasty
Ask yourself "why should Curry be held to the same standard as LeBron?" LeBron is in the goat convo. When you realize youre just hating Curry, maybe everything will make more sense
The media will never admit when Steph does bad. If it were lebron, even if he got 15 assists and had a great playmaking game, they would look at the shot percentage and criticize him. Also remember when Russ shot bad from the field but was great playmaking and defensively in games for the wizards, but the media criticized him. Steph was great, but he needs to get criticized for where he did bad
JJ redick takes pride in disagreeing with Stephan A and is so obessed with trying to give him hard times. I see that in most of their televised and heated debates. Senegal, West Africa.
I prefer Denver but at this point I’m rooting for Phoenix because I think they will get a more even whistle in the WCF. I don’t want to watch LA march to the finals shooting 20 more free throws per game than Denver. Phoenix is more established so I believe they might get more balanced officiating and KD vs Bron will be fun. I’m not 100% done with the Warriors but they were a hot mess all year and down 3-1 now so it’s unlikely they will advance.
No Durant to save you now, Steph. So Steph has only really beaten LeBron once without KD? The year Kyrie and KLove were injured? Catching Ls in '16, '21, and '23.
I love when JJ makes the cast shut up. JJ speaks real first person experience facts and thats something Windy and Stephen A cant relate to. Great job JJ.

Trae Young 3/4 (1/1 3s)
if lebron had that last possession, the narrative would be that he wasn’t clutch and couldn’t get it done down the stretch, but since it’s curry, the narrative is “who is letting curry down” 😂
Sounds like a lot of excuses for Curry choking in last minute of that game 😂 Can’t say Curry is going to take Bron off the Mount Rushmore by winning this series then not put that blame on him. Warriors could’ve won if he didn’t turn the ball over and miss 2 shots in a row.
It’s his fault but also klay fault too for not hitting more shots
I wouldn't really call a two hand catch off a jump ball infront of Lebron is a turnover. And the Warriors are different than any other teams we have seen in the past. Their system is linked between all the players, you can't discount that.
Stephen A Smith mad Lakers won 🤡🤡🤡😂😂😭😭
He’s dressed for a funeral
Nobody gonna talk about drays clear line to the basket?
I could see JJ becoming a future coach at Duke the way he breaks down the game
Lol Warriors lost it?!? You're just gonna overlook the Laker defence Stephen A?
That Draymond pass has been something theyve been doing ALL season. They did it to the Kings. Watch all the highlights from Klay. Same 3 pointer, same pass. It was defended this time around. Lakers were ready
Take a shot 🥃 for every time windy is blinking 😭
As a Warriors fan we lost this game. All we had to do was pick and roll AD like we did the first 3 quarters and for whatever reason we stopped doing it. Then Klay for whatever reason shot two contested 3s in the last two minutes of the game early in the shot clock🤷♂️. Like if I’m Kerr I’m making it clear that we’re pick and rolling AD until they find a way to stop it. The Lakers ran a pick and roll to get Steph switched on Bron cause it was working. You don’t go away from what was working.
They did do it, but ad switched onto Wiggins and Wiggins was bricking all his shots
I hate questions that ask “did they lose it, or the other team won it”… to me the main answer is that whatever team won that game still won that game lol.
Well sometimes that’s simply not the case. We constantly see teams do the most incompetent things to basically throw the game away, with little effort from their opponent.
That just means u don't understand the question 😂

@@AmariAaron the nba being scripted is not a myth
Real basketball fans appreciate the film break down by JJ. It's a breath of fresh air not just hearing ppl that never played the game say dumb stuff.
By far hands down it's Jordan Poole letting the whole team down in a huge way!!
How dare you call out Jordan Poole! The man is busy splurging on Ice Spice for crying out loud!! You leave him alone
@@leir2005 😂😂😂 Facts He Distracted RN Leave Poole Be. I’d Be All Up In Ice Spice 😅
JJ makes this show watchable.
He’s obviously the most level headed with his takes.. Stephen A is bias and reactionary
Moody wasn’t guarding lonnie tho. It was CURRY. He was getting cooked in the 4th quarter. This lakers squad is DEEP! 1 game it’s AD, another game it’s lebron, another game it’s RUI, another game it’s reaves, another game it’s DLO & now last night it was LONNIE WALKER. That’s depth! . To top it off lakers got the best defense in the NBA since after all star break. They definitely winning a title this season.
thats brons doing,if you watch the game every thing coming from bron was switched to curry,and he got cooked defensively, his legs gave out,reason why his last 2 shots were off,he even got dropped twice during defense,steph pick n roll with drawing AD out from inside worked but steph basicly tried to handle assists and rebounds too with 3 steals,and then needed to make shots since noone else could,they are not winning unless klay and poole give them about 40 combined,cause that means you rely on 4 other roleplayers to get you atleast 10 each while steph puts 35+ like in 2021
I agree but that stat has to die… midseason they showed a stat… easiest path to the playoffs guess who had it, Lakers lol they was supposed to win… my biggest takeaway is midseason the adjustments and trades the lakers made literally made them another team… and they are good
Wiggins is not Durant
Why is no one talking about Steph Curry choking. He is a huge reason why they lost last night. If Lebron was in this situation we would never hear the end of it. What happened at the end of the game. He had two shots to take the lead and he missed. Crucial turnover at the end also. Yes the stats look good on paper. He was 12/30 and 3/14 from 3. CHOKEJOB
That’s a boneheaded take. Very unintelligent and smacks of mischief.
So steph goes 30-10-14 on 40% shooting n is supposed to be slandered like he aint the only one going crazy?
He also the only one over 20 he had 30 bro no one else showing up fr
Because he was also the only reason they were ever in the game. He got no help. But he’ll be criticized for the end-game decisions.
Media darling.
That alteration between Poole and Dray before the season is coming back to haunt the Warriors…Poole seems disinterested and it’s not like Draymond can talk sense into him being the floor general he is because of that alteration Poole don’t respect Draymond anymore
That's your personal opinion. I can also say Rudy punched Kyle Anderson but the very next game they were working together.
@@lorddevil863those are completely different people with different personalities and they play for teams with different expectations, terrible comparisons
His behavior or bond with his teammates hasn’t changed on or off the court. Bro just got his money and hasn’t lived up to it. He’s had his good games this year and even more bad games. It doesn’t have anything to do with Dray. He just can’t play up the the standards of the contract he got
It’s crazy how the media bends over for steph curry, if lebron or KD were in this exact position the media would be SLANDERING them. They would never ask who’s letting lebron or KD down? They’d point out they’re some of the greatest ever and talk about how they’re letting his team down in crunch time.
Never in life seen them ask who let kd or lebron down bro but since its steph they gone protect him
@@bernardfletcher1839 When KD lost because a foot on the line and was busting the Bucks, I didn't hear anyone say where was his help.
Okay, i mean this in no disrespect to Steph Curry but this is disgusting by Stephen A and the media. LeBron has taken EXTREME criticism from losing with less than what Steph had in 2018 and has had his all-time greatness called into question by this same man and said Steph could pass him all time and yet he doesn’t criticize Steph the same way he would LeBron!?!? The media is a bunch of tools pushing an agenda😂
They love steph curry it’s ridiculous
Can we just say that the Lakers have a great defensive team.
No they don't. Lebron is 38, Reeves shown he can get cooked by Klay. They didn't even play Vanderbilt because even tho he's their best perimeter defender, he is a liability on offense. AD looks lost at times during this game.
@@lorddevil863 😂cry more
@@lorddevil863 they are a good defensive team if they only had one bad game from 3 but more then 2 games shows how good the lakers defense is
@@lorddevil863 Warriors just trash then.
@@lorddevil863 u already crying, Lakers in 5
Poole has been a blight on the Warriors since before the season began. When I heard about his contract, I knew he was going to be useless going forward. He walked and talked as if entitled and played like he only had to make points to be on the team. His momentum changing turnovers , his complete lack of even minimal defensive effort and his “ I’m great because they paid me” attitude is costing the Warriors the chance at another title run. GET HIM OFF THE WARRIORS!
Stephen A seems like a laker hater lately no lie 😂
It’s crazy because both of the defensive actions that JJ spoke about, Lebron called mid play. He pointed out the draymond drive and the switch onto Klay a second before it happened. Read that play to perfection.
JJ is needed on these segments. In fact all of the guys that actually played the game should be on segments like these.
Curry was 1-7 from 3 in the 4th quarter, how does he get a pass??
Because he does it so often now no one even notices
@@leir2005 makes sense
He still had a triple double and was a big reason his team had a chance to win. He needed his teammates to step up, especially the big money guys like Poole, Klay and Wiggins and they did not.
JJ Redick 100% my man thank you very much you said the things that my voice cannot be heard saying thank you
We are so lucky to have JJ on this show. Masterclass analysis
APPROACHING!!?! 😭😭😭Like he already there 🤣
did the warriors lose or did the lakers win?
-WHAT??? BRO IM OUTTA HERE... THAT DUDE'S TRIPPIN....
Straight up, and they’re questions Klay’s shot attempts. His built like that proven to make them, he just missed them lol.
Stephen A be dying inside whenever Lebron has success 😂😫
Just imagine the outrage if Lebron missed two game winning shots in a row 😂
Lebron getting carried
@@el8233 curry needs KD to beat bron
@@el8233 Bron might be averaging the most points for the series on the lakers….he might be 1 or 2 points behind 💀
@@el8233 in what way goofy🤡
Lonnie walker carried Lebron yesterday
SAS really must be watching different games than everyone else. Talking nonsense.
What he say that was wrong?
Curry failed in the clutch. He always gets the pass
The guy that was supposed to knock Bron from the Mount Rushmore of BBall, gets a PASS for raining BRICKS in CLUTCH time?
How I wish Bron would get a Pass like this.
But it ain't gonna happen.
The dude had 14 assists and grabbed 10 boards as a point guard.
@@lorddevil863 Westbrook did that for SEASONS plural so what
JJ’s analysis is very much appreciated, especially his breakdown on the play to play action. Best decision by ESPN.
Klay's shooting form changed since injuries. I think his legs are still not 100% there
Edit: Jordan Poole is done as a warrior after the playoffs
Ah what! He led the league in 3pt made this year with over 300, changed form or not. His shots aren't going down and that's it. It happens to the best of them.
@@TheOne0816 It's a very different game in the playoffs. It's clearly not working with the playoff defense put on him, the same happened last season as well, plus he's been forcing shots more ever since coming back -- iso jumpers off the dribble, fade aways which he's not used to. He wants to expand his offense which I'm all for but he ain't got the legs for it.
@@relivec Off the dribble, fadeways and iso play has never been Thompsons forte. Although he can do it here and there. The defense as you mentioned sometimes just gets even the best of shooters.
“APPROACHING?!?!” 😂😂😂
Steph shot 3-12 btw and you’re here crucifying Klay
And one of those was a 4 point play to put the Warriors back in the lead with minutes left in the game.
I am heartbroken for Steph Curry 😢 I just wish he gets some help …
Boo hoo he feeling how bron felt now
Why cause he light skin
@@livehightower9573 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now you warriors fans know how Cavs and lakers fans have felt
Don’t get too cocky Laker fans. You haven’t won anything yet.
Lakers was always the better team in this series as I've said on any given night six players on Lakers can go for a big night give you 25 to 30 points Walker was him last night let this be an example to young players stay ready your number can be call at anytime 💪🏽🏀 Lakers in 6 game 5 will be the toughest game for Lakers but this series is over who else agree🤔??
Yep. I've commented on many videos from the jump of this series I thought the LAL would win in 5-6 and go all the way. This is one of the only times I can honestly say that LBJ and AD do not have to go for 30-40 per night. If LBJ can muster the strength to attack relentlessly like the past, its surely a wrap. Not going to beat 2 guys who can dominate the paint/rim. They did the same thing in the Bubble.
Gilbert Arenas is a better example
This Win is a big wake up call to trust each other and give it all u got and take this game with a grain of salt let’s keep this integrity going fwd!!! 😊
Yet GSW defending champs
Agreed 💯
I’m a Laker fan, and I’m not delusional enough to think the Lakers’ defense is what made the warriors shoot bad. Wiggins, Klay, Steph, Divencenzo, etc. were open A LOT. They just couldn’t hit. And even when they weren’t hitting in the first half, they still had the lead! Lakers stole this game, but the Warriors def lost it. Steph hits two more 3’s and they win this game, even with bad shooting.
Moody played great on both ends, but agreed with SAS. Lonnie Walker looking unstoppable, you have to put in your stopper in GP2. Inexcusable! AD's defense on Curry gave some Love on Curry PTSD. Klay has championship DNA, but I can't believe he jacked up those two 3s at the end. One of those 3s was deep, just like JP's last shot of game 3. Credit to the Lakers
not to mention klay got a whole 9 points and 2 assists in 41 mins. i think the most annoying thing is how some players arent contributing on both ends of the court. if the shots not falling, play some defense or a rebound or sumn
JJ Redick be trying not to laugh at their lack of basketball knowledge 😂🤣
I wish JJ Was On First Take When Will Cain Was There. Omg I would’ve loved to see that Heated Debate. 😂
JJ needs to take over this show. We need more content of former players breaking down the game and plays. I hate this “debate” talk.
Man Wht kinda question is tht the lakers better steph has never been clutch when it mattered 🤷🏾♂️
0/17 now on game winners/tying shots in the playoffs. No ice in his veins lol
All of them lack sleep, you can see it on their eyes...
Stephen A trying to take merit away from GSW so at the same time he can also take merit away from the Lakers, especially on the the defensive side... The chess being played between both head coaches is a big part of this series being as historic as it already is!
It's been 2 close games & 2 blow outs, I don't know about historic, it's been a good series though!
@@ATS21198421 Fair point! I was think more about the major protagonists, but you're also right
@@djedman10 I mean the ratings have been massive for TNT & ESPN so historic in that sense some of the highest ratings in 20 years due to the massive star power & history of the two franchises!
Agreed! It’s been a Fun Series especially because unless there’s a huge lead it’s kinda hard to determine who’ll win. As good as these Games have been the next round will be even better no matter who Wins.
Jordan Poole mind is on Ice Spice. He ain't worried bout basketball right now 🤣
his 3pt shooting let the team down, 3/14 is recipe for disaster. But Stephen A, never criticizes his baby
He’s got the green light ..he was passing the ball but anytime he shoots a 3 it’s basically a good shot
@@najeeharrison7214 given the green light doesn’t mean constantly sending up prayers
so Curry was a disaster but Klay giving you 9 pts in 41 minutes gets a pass...y'all don't think before y'all speak just say anything
curry also had 5 fouls and threw the ball out of bounds 💀
@@cmn225 2 opportunities to win the lead, and he missed. Two horrible shots. Klay has been terrible, but Steph was able to overcome that for sure
I’m not even a LeBron fan, but if he takes a play-in team that started 2-10 to the finals & gets his 5th ring, I gotta put him as the GOAT.
No smh lol.
@@franklin8618 What you mean no??? It's definitely a conversation to be had. If he leads a play-in team to a championship, wins his 5th ring and pass 40k in points next season, bruh, there's no question he will have a VERY strong case for being the goat. It shouldn't even be a question at that point.
It’s funny that they say who is lowering Steph down when his teammates not performing, but when LeBron teammates don’t perform, it’s still all on LeBron 😂😂😂
Right..love the “I thought lebron makes all his teammates better” posts
What ?????? Nobody was blaming bron when Ad had that stinker of a game
Curry can do no wrong in the media. Drinking challenge everytime SA calls him the greatest shooter ever and never proving further analysis. The agenda is nasty
Ask yourself "why should Curry be held to the same standard as LeBron?" LeBron is in the goat convo. When you realize youre just hating Curry, maybe everything will make more sense
Bro they do that with every superstar I swear y’all got selective memory
No comment on Steph’s defense?????
That was great insight by J.J.
Love Xs and Os. Don’t talk feelings. Talk basketball. Love JJ
I SWEAR CURRY MISSED BOTH ATTEMPTS AND COMMITTED A TURNOVER
Lebron also missed shots, just saying
JJ's face when Stephen A goes on his rant is priceless.
Still not over, let's go Warriors!
The Warriors gonna have a bus load of baddies sitting courtside next game to get Poole out this funk 😂
The media will never admit when Steph does bad. If it were lebron, even if he got 15 assists and had a great playmaking game, they would look at the shot percentage and criticize him. Also remember when Russ shot bad from the field but was great playmaking and defensively in games for the wizards, but the media criticized him. Steph was great, but he needs to get criticized for where he did bad
JJ redick takes pride in disagreeing with Stephan A and is so obessed with trying to give him hard times. I see that in most of their televised and heated debates. Senegal, West Africa.
Brian is CRAZY if he thinks the Lakers Game plan is let KLAY THOMPSON get good shots 😂
I prefer Denver but at this point I’m rooting for Phoenix because I think they will get a more even whistle in the WCF. I don’t want to watch LA march to the finals shooting 20 more free throws per game than Denver. Phoenix is more established so I believe they might get more balanced officiating and KD vs Bron will be fun. I’m not 100% done with the Warriors but they were a hot mess all year and down 3-1 now so it’s unlikely they will advance.
I feel Klay's struggles (or inconsistency) says more about Steph's level of greatness (at this age) than it does anything else.
Does Steph look old to you. Steph had years off due to his ankles. Steph is not old in basketball minutes 😊
@@jsoft_og7065 with his usage, yes it does lmao. Besides, age is something you can’t stop so you can’t take that out.
No Durant to save you now, Steph. So Steph has only really beaten LeBron once without KD? The year Kyrie and KLove were injured? Catching Ls in '16, '21, and '23.
I love and respect JJ as an analyst/former player but he can be very condescending at times
He needs to be with the stupidity he’s hearing
Love seeing JJ Redick break this stuff down for everyone
THANKS JJ
YOU ARE SAVING THIS SHOW
I love when JJ makes the cast shut up. JJ speaks real first person experience facts and thats something Windy and Stephen A cant relate to. Great job JJ.
It was Lakers defense
Crazy how much better the debates are when Molly is not there. Just crazy.
