1y ago29:28

29:28

In this episode, I will be discussing the LA Clippers and their entire situation. Ty Lue needs to have a real conversation with the four superstars they have. They need Russell Westbrook to be himself, and everyone needs to adjust around him, because he can't change his game like the others can. The Philadelphia 76ers have a superstar in Tyrese Max…

In this episode, I am going to talk about the NFL and who is the best team in the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and the Philadelphia Eagles are top tier.

In this episode, I will be discussing the LA Clippers and James Harden. The Philadelphia 76ers sent him and P.J. Tucker to LA, and I don't know how the Clippers are going to make this work. Russell Westbrook has been playing very well for them, so this is confusing. The Chicago Bears are a very uncertain franchise, and they traded for Montez Sweat,…

In this episode, I will be discussing the NFL in week 5. The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Dallas Cowboys, and it wasn't even fair.

In this episode, I will be discussing the Milwaukee Bucks and Damian Lillard. That pick & roll with Giannis and Dame is going to be lethal, and I don't know how to stop it. They are the favorite right now to win the Eastern Conference, but don't sleep on the Boston Celtics. They have Jrue Holiday now, and that just added more perimeter defense to t…

In this episode, I will be discussing Jabari Parker's comment about the NBA being "watered down". I totally agree with that, because the NBA is a business. If teams are paying guys $30 Million a year, they are going to play the most minutes. DeMarcus Cousins, Dwight Howard, John Wall, Kemba Walker, Mike James, and even Isaiah Thomas are capable of …

In this episode, I will be breaking down the Chicago Bears performance this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They lost the game 27-17, and from top to bottom, they did not look great at all.
