Died laughing at the Fox being injured bit 🤣
yesssss it's about time someone says something about Duncan. He is making such a leap and it's crazy, just seeing him break a guy and get to the rack with ease is great because if we can get it where we can have tyler and duncan on the court like 2021 that has the chance to really make our offense pop
Where is Legler?
Heat. Will always be in the mix. will beat 1 or two hyped teams in the playoffs. But will eventually get booted off.
Can i please request Jeff Teague come on?
love these episodes keep up the videos
bringing nekias in was such a big W
Just wait until the bucks figure it out, still so much time.
The east is gonna be between the Bucks and Celtics. Period.
And the Kings will do better this year than last. I believe in my
boys. 🤟🏻
Everything Fox does, Shai does x3 lol…
Duncan Robinson has played great basketball, especially in Herro's absence, his release and cuts look even quicker and his defense has improved
Mitchell Robinson has certainly evolved, much more poised and isn't falling for "bait fouls". Randle's "desire vs. lack of desire" to pass the ball and how quickly within the offense will play a large role (arguably the largest) in how far the Knicks will go
W
Celtics lost to the Charlotte Hornets lol
Thanks for covering the Heat! 🔥🔥🔥
Time stamps guys, please!
Thank you for showing Duncan love! He’s been crazy this year. And Bam is definitely getting a max or supermax or whatever it’s called now
40 min long video is insane
Glad u got the eagle win
Light the Beam!! Go Kings!
I see you changing your tune on my team, The Milwaukee Bucks. It makes no sense to have takes about any team this early in the season.
Talk about the timberwolves nobody talking about them and they are becoming a contender threat. Who else has 3 all star caliber players and 2 all defensive players. Only the Celtics, I think they will surprise everyone in the playoffs
Chill JJ, you hopped off the Heat train early last year.
Unwatchable without timestamps
Dislike for no timestamps
Yeah don’t bother talking about the 1 seed in the west 🙄
go birds
Buck Foston.
People don't realize all these factors man, life at home, new home, new city, new state, new team, new teammates, new coach, new coaches, rotations, new role, all these factors literally play a role in how he perfoms he'll adjust. Can't wait for this Dame and giannis champions run
As great as an addition Damian Lillard is, I believe that the Bucks will be more successful with Giannis as the primary option in offense and Dame as the second option and complementary player to Giannis.
Great episode, thanks.
Pelicana just destroyed the overrated kings lol pelicans will smack everyone
For those who know, why hasn’t JJ appeared on First Take this season?
Comments Cavs Corner
Craig Porter might pan out as a dynamic back up PG. Coming off the bench with Caris–who is himself on occasion Micheal Jordan for 10 minute spells, able to score without sweat in the midrange or at the rim. I've taken to calling him The Instant Pot (as opposed to The Microwave). He just puts it in the mf pot, unless he isn't in MJ mode and is instead in Jarrett Jack mode
Mobley loves the spin into mid-lane hook or fadeaway. It's fine. Some in-game 3s would be killer though. His rookie year I was like "this guy's so patient" and I haven't had that feeling as much since, some of that might be defenders figuring him out and making him work harder.
The defense is still elite when locked in, all I need to say about that. Obviously strong additions, Strus? Forget about it, I'm in love. Don't miss Cedi, as sad as that makes me. "Niang" is generally the sound I make when I see Georges shoot a 3 but apparently historically his numbers are good? Idk not sold on him yet. My man Dean Wade is back and generally not pissing me off, occasionally making a heady play or hitting a big shot.
Darius' game continues to swell, he's becoming a true Time Lord and able to manipulate bigger players (which is almost everyone) into letting him by. I just looked it up and he's 23. He's only gonna get smarter and better!!
Time stamps
