      Maxey should learn how to play some kind of defense

    • @rohangeorge712

      March 2, 2026 at 9:03 pm

      @DogDays-j9l he literally does lol what. avg 2 steals and 0.8 blocks a game. and he tries. obviously isnt amazing or anyhting btu he is their point guard and carrying their offense when embiid is gone. with embiid he obviously much better and 76ers much better as well. ur just hating to hate

      โ€‹@rohangeorge712he plays Matador defense, just because you happen to be around a loose ball and take it doesn’t mean anything.

    What is this? Every time i tune into a game the star is sitting ๐Ÿ˜‚ curry been out for like 2 months over a sore knee. Ridiculous these guys miss more games each year than i missed work with cancer . S o f t . Whatcha gonna do Claude?

    Detroit’s defense isnt that much better than the Celtics ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ The upside of Celtics offense with Tatum averaging just 20-23 is greater!! ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

    So, let me get this straight. Denver has Championship DNA, but Boston doesn’t? Make it make sense…

    • @lilv-NS

      March 2, 2026 at 5:21 pm

      It wasnโ€™t highlighted in their pre show packet they received

      March 2, 2026 at 6:43 pm

      The western conference isn’t as wide open

    • @Frank_Dux824

      March 2, 2026 at 7:12 pm

      Most of the key guys from that championship team are gone. It’s just JB, D White and Pritchard. I don’t think Sam played that much that year. Denver got more players still from their championship team than Boston. The East is just more open for Boston

    • @davantejohnson7850

      March 2, 2026 at 7:31 pm

      @Frank_Dux824Hey man, thereโ€™s brothas all the time that want that 30-35% etc something else because being the most desired/hated being in existence is too exhausting

    • @mangesh9034305

      March 2, 2026 at 9:55 pm

      โ€‹@Frank_Dux824Frankโ€ฆ youโ€™re saying Boston โ€œlost their championship DNAโ€ because Jrue, KP, Kornet, and Horford are gone? Denver had 8 players from their 2022-23 championship roster leave. But nobody screams โ€œthe DNA is goneโ€ because the core stayed intact. And using your logic? I donโ€™t think Peyton Watson played that much in 2023. Losing rotation guys isnโ€™t the same as losing your championship identity.

    March 2, 2026 at 4:07 pm

    What about tanking tho? How you gonna sit your best player for the remainder of the Season?

  10. @aubreystephens7824

    March 2, 2026 at 4:16 pm

    If Iโ€™m Tatum I wouldnโ€™t comeback. Gonna mess with his confidence

  11. @GoBoSox20

    March 2, 2026 at 4:32 pm

    Cavs were the team in the East last year. Experience matters.

  12. @mazengwe28

    March 2, 2026 at 4:36 pm

    Tatum doesn’t look like he can run or dunk. What good is he going to be on the court?

    Pacers were barely a playoff team then went to the finals

    Everyone agrees tanking is bad, yet y’all want Steph to sit out. All the fans should stop going to the games or get a major discount. If you’re healthy to play play. Stephen A always talks how MJ and Kobe always played if they could bcuz it may be someone’s only chance to see them play

    SAS gon be the main one saying he been saying the wolves were the team once we back in WCF smh clown

  20. @willwhite636

    March 2, 2026 at 5:55 pm

    besides windy, ESPN is such a joke. SAS is the biggest bandwagon media guy. His answers always lean towards whatever will get the most comments or views. And I don’t even know who the other clown is..probably some draft kings analyst.

    GSW overated and a bad coach with a GM who didn’t earn that position and is showing why. Treated Kuminga like nothing. They going down in flames.

    March 2, 2026 at 8:48 pm

    Whenever Denver loses no one in the media ever calls them out lmao they have been regular season merchants for so long now, but they are still considered a team to beat ๐Ÿคฃ they couldnโ€™t even stop Ant Man or Luka before the trade
