Then, the crew discuss the severity of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s early exit…

Now they are going home I wonder what they got to say now.
Stephen, we are 10th. LET ME SAY AGAIN. WE ARE 10TH FOR A REASON. We ain't winning anything based on the stupidity I've seen. Denver double. Easy.
I always love when people try to remind Toronto it wouldn’t win if Durant was playing. I’m glad you like Durant me too. However, the same Toronto raptors that are trash right now, are the 2019 NBA World Champions. That slight is a slap in the face every time I hear it. Disrespectful.
I hope yall know the lakers have a guaranteed spot in the playoffs😂 Adam silver ain’t letting bron miss the playoffs
Perkins gone missing for this one here lol
WHO CARES? ITS FIXED ANYWAY
If I’m Giannis , I wait 2 games and see what happens. If the bucks handle business without him, rest him as much as you can
GSW could win the chip
Stephen A Smith is a joke.
Warriors would’ve swept Toronto if KD didn’t get injured!!!
KD got injured during game 5. Warriors trailed 3-1 when he got injured😂😂
Who cares about someone’s opinion with this level of memory!! This was recent memory!!
So nice to see Malika with her mouth closed for so long at once …
I wouldn't put Giannis out there. I don't care if he says he wants to play. I don't care what the training staff says. He's out, period. KD was feeling great when he came back. The trainers and docs passed him and said he was good to go. The issue is that the calf was too weak still, so the overcompensating his Achilles had to do for the weakened calf caused it to tear. That calf needs to heal, he needs to go through rehab, put it through strength training, and then start playing on it again. Too many times we see players trying to come back from injuries too soon, and we end up losing that player for extended periods of time and they don't ever play the same again. KD is very fortunate that he's a perfect offensive player and doesn't have to rely on pure athleticism to get his buckets. Giannis does though. His career would be hindered in a MAJOR way if he tore his Achilles. He needs to chill, and let Dame struggle through this one. And if Dame wants to leave after this season because of that, then so be it, bruh. He don't want to be there anyway. Get another piece to play with a fully healthy Giannis, who will be out for blood, next season.
I'm always super cautious about these situations because my favorite player was Grant Hill. That's my dawg, so I'm not trying to see these guys come back early just to have their careers derailed. Especially not the good human beings like Grant, Giannis, etc.
They don't want the WARRIORS too win a championship again before LeBron James that just tells me we got THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE
"nobody wants to see Denver in that 1st Rd 😂😂😂😂
SAS really a master of words. I could listen to him all day
If the team is healthy and Wiggins shows up, Denver can’t beat us.
Leave them weights alone. Calisthenics and strength resistance 👑
Gsw vs bucks watch
Don't sleep on warriors they can upset anyone I said anyone! The heat is the west only they got rings behind them. I can see warriors upset Minnesota okc anyone besides Denver. Especially if Wiggins plays like he can
if warriors didnt lose to the mavs, they're the 8th seed rn
Lakers defense plan was to shut down Steph. That's why he only took 9 shots. They let other guys shoot. Plan didn't work.
Soo how does the Play in work? Who plays who?
Warriors in trouble boys
Stephen A really believed that the GSW could've swept the Raptors with Kawhi, well, he must've forgot that in 2018 the Rockets with Harden and CP3 almost beat the Warriors with Durant and was up 3-2. If only CP3 was not injured in Game 7, the Rockets could've won that series
Is it necessary to use the word capitulate?
Are they going to a wedding?
Why Stephen A. Smith Dressed Like Colonel Sanders Lol
Its like a 2 chicken podcast 🤣
Is stephen a smith making his first holy communion?😂
warriors need to play the best of the best ….. refs were always against them … officiating were so bar against them …… need to shoot consistently …. defense without fouling …
need to win 2 consecutive games if they want to be in the play off ….. if their on the 9th or 10th seed …. they need to win 2 consecutive games ….. if they can be on the 7th or 8th seed ….. just a win they're on the play off ….
That all white 🔥
Best wishes SA😅
Hey GSW has 4 chips and still hot as potatoes. Denver has 1 chip. GSW ain't scared of any team especially in the playoffs where they play real defense. GSW 5 rings this year😊😊😊
10:59 2019 Kawhi Leonard would never be swept
Stephen A always spot on in his analysis not like the other talking heads.
Lot of ifs lmao
Some heavy weight $ guy made some calls to fix this…NBA agenda is ready to show us another cinderella team….hahaha.
Warriors ain't worried about anybody in this league. They have nothing to prove, but they ain't done yet. They just need to qualify for playoffs, and let their experiences do the work. They've been here before, and they know what they are doing.
All I am saying the west better hope Warriors not the team coming out the play in because I wouldn’t want facing a hungry and comfortable Warriors in the playoffs
Stephen A: your whyte outfit reminds me of the Honorable Elijah Mohammed, (ouch) just sayin. Normally I dont comment on your outfit but……….
If Anthony Davis is in the game it is gong to be a much tougher win than last night. They haven't found an answer for him all year.
Edey to hornets. Hornets 7 seed next year
This was all by design we planned to coast through the regular season. All of our stars got significant time off. We are playing the toughest game and series in the beginning or first round. After that is all downhill and every subsequent series will just get easier. Genius!
Draymond aint going 5/5 from three in a seven game series
