[@maxwellsplash970]

Fashoooo

[@jjhyland906]

P, AND OG what a dub

[@sydguitar99]

This abt to be the most Toxic pick a side video of all time and I'm here for it

[@jasonjoseph7720]

Need more of this like weekly if possible once a month this top tier content on this app rn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jadenhalter7070]

Ayyyyy they got peewee and OG this a must watch!!!!

[@marcelus4848]

We can’t even hear drew like halfway thru the pod I was wondering y they was all just staring and not talking

[@Tony.L]

Literally was like damn I ain’t this podcast all week. Look it up post video 2 mins ago. Thank you!

[@deanmaciass]

Aye, that better help ad! Let's go!!! Growing this pod so much love to see it.

[@eduardosoto6259]

This would be a sick monthly pod🔥

[@javierorellanafernandez1932]

bro what an episode I watched this whole thing it was amazing super funny and entertaining

[@ethanrobinson9475]

GOAT guest lineup! hell yeah

[@tevinbloom496]

Yo Pierre’s reaction to the comments of JK being the next PG -13 was hilarious! 😂😂..some one make it a meme! Top 5 podcast! #keepgoing‼️

[@orlandomartinez8405]

this pod clears players choice no bs

[@deanmaciass]

That jets defense showing why they are elite and the joels are loving it

[@Mles-mg8bn]

Fabulous Show and love the sponsors! Y’all on the way ☝🏾

[@chrismitchell457]

This so much calmer than players choice

[@BookOfChan]

OG be talkin that shit, love everybody on the pod

[@vrnclr1189]

Best episodes are with PeeWee

[@zonekeeper000king5]

Collab I never thought we would need

[@evanwrenn402]

It was one thing when the Warriors had Kuminga and Moody last year, but now they have them AND Wiseman, Rollins and PBJ. It's damn near guaranteed that one of those 5 young men will need to play pretty heavy playoff minutes.

[@marcellamar]

Goat level podcast!!! Keep going guys!!!

[@bigbyrd2984]

nah this is nuts! P and OG!

[@ethanrobinson9475]

idk its sick

[@scribbes]

Chris finch is a helluva coach, I have hope the wolves can figure it out.

[@chidi2223]

we need this collab more

[@juliusirvin5612]

I wanna ask one question, everyone on this panel says what Kyrie posted was false information but have any of you watched the movie and did any research on it to find out for yourselves?

[@liamnicol9390]

Were there not anti-Semitic tones existing within the film? If that is the case, why does it matter if they’ve watched it or not?

[@jayrobertson332]

I respect both Paul George and Jaylen Browns game, but to say Jaylen brown isn’t close to Paul George or Paul George is flat out better is crazy to me because they have very similar stats and Paul George is a slightly a better defender right now.

[@officialzacht]

episode gonna be 🔥🔥

[@GPellSS]

The beginning song gives me life

[@uncledru7523]

The reason I’m not worried about the warriors is because imo they have put themselves in a position to pivot unlike any other contending team and I think Bob meyers is the type of gm that knows when that point is and is not only willing but capable of finding the right move. His decision making with these roster have been great. Trading for Wiggins when everyone said it was a bad contract, taking GP2 with the final spot over Avery Bradley when Steph and the vets wanted Avery even Ty Jerome on the 2 way has been the lone bright spot on the bench and NO ONE liked that move. Especially me. I wanted them to use atleast one spot on the big man from Purdue Trevion Williams. I think if we are 30 games into the season and struggling to be .500 Bob goes to Lacob and tells him, I have to move one or 2 of these young guys. Lacob is really the guy who is all in on the youngings or I think Bob would’ve traded the #2 pick on draft night. But if they aren’t ready and stand in the way of titles to come because of his need to have the next generation then Bob has to find a package. Not something huge but something like Wiseman for Jakob and a future spurs 1st. Heavily protected future 1st but something to gets Lacob off your back about completely selling the future. Jakob is the perfect bridge center. 26 and a decent starter/bench big who can anchor a defensive unit. Something along those lines is really all they need

[@acesimmons1531]

Got P & Chill 🐐🐐

[@Nuvendil]

So Dejounte is going to guard Garland, Mitchell, AND LeVert all at once? Cause all three of them are going to be hunting Trae. Also, LeVert has been solid at the 3 as has Dean Wade. They can acquire another wing if need be, they have some assets. They don't need a star there. Okoro though will probably be out cause his offense has regressed so far. Last year his efficiency was fine, his volume was just low. Now his volume is even lower and his efficiency is worse!

[@kyriediculous3413]

insane collab dawg

[@sesho4439]

Yall got The Avengers for this pod

[@Mandownsports]

Joel got his talking points from ESPN.

[@adonay2800]

1:50:02 lmaooo riv had me dead

[@javierorellanafernandez1932]

OG that comparison of tyson and dirk compared to gobert and Kat was fire, only if it came to fruition

[@AragonTajes]

not a guy that i like but nick wright was on point about the kyrie topic. worth the watch.

[@perrintomlin4333]

OG Spitting fax as usual

[@luvbreeezy]

1:25:40 riv just be waiting to laugh at joel LMAO

[@wuspoppinmayne4364]

Herros game winner he traveled to was awesome

[@Facedamusic]

This was great guys!

[@lawrencebello6177]

Pierre seems to be the only one talking sense about the Kyrie situation

[@christianjames92]

Yo Joel i fuck with the pod, but some advice I would give you is to update the Boom ad in your clip vids. It makes the ad look dated because you guys are discussing shit that happened already within the ad.

[@pickaside]

Episode was suppose to come out last night

[@jarrellabram]

For a second I thought this a old video !! Let's goooo

[@Bdogg12139]

Pick a side P in the building

[@herbtothelungz1263]

The Bradley Beal Beef Continues on for another year Lmao .

[@khalil7232]

Ppl forget Dejounte was just coming off Covid when he came back for that play-in game last season

[@evanwrenn402]

Nearly every single player in Boston's playoff rotation was a clear + on defense. Their entire starting 5 was stout defensively.

[@Woahmoodoneit.]

hld on hold on bro every big player has a closer tf on the harden takes

[@nofty1317]

This is awesome man

[@AKWuzHere]

Y'all act like kyrie didn't apologize the first time they asked him y'all really in here lien y'all keep bringing up his second interview were he already said his apologies and took responsibility y'all jus going off the media is sad 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@vegan4life660]

Sheep stay sleep 💤

[@scottenglund1486]

I'll be back to this video in march laughing how the wolves are a top 3-4ish team 🤣🤣

[@ClydeW893]

Hold up DG over SGA this season? Shai is like 3rd in MVP race doing it on both sides of the floor lol.

[@trumpies]

SGA >>>>>> garland better defender more efficient scorer

[@orcamonster7066]

@@trumpies u know ball

[@Nuvendil]

We need to see Garland more before ranking him against those guys this year. He's played just two games and given Shai has improved a lot this year, we need to see what DG does this year

[@tmosh55]

Taking some of those guys over SGA is wild to me. Shai’s averaging more than 30, 4, 6 and 2.3 steals, 1.1 block 53.5% fg and 96.5% ft. That is just absurd even for the small sample size

[@kakerk]

Dehls said a total of 23 words this episode

[@glasses4513]

Mr. Flip-a-side is very emotional! Good thing hes flipping dollars.

[@BabaBooey3]

just letting y’all know Jonathan will never be what Jaylen brown is right now.

[@JamesMC2323]

I was just thinking the other day when P was gonna come back on

[@christianjones1506]

This episode worth the wait!!

[@solotrillgaming1989]

This one of them ones.

[@5thDownPodcast]

It’s not Vandervilt! Lol it’s Vanderbilt. Jesus 😂

[@bean3774]

If you think Kyrie should apologize then I’m assuming you’re boycotting Amazon too. Ky gets backlash for posting a link, meanwhile Bezos still profiting from actually SELLING “anti-semitic” content and it’s crickets. Absolute joke lol

[@Mles-mg8bn]

S/O to Riv for repping my Cuse 🍊 Thunder⚡️ and Eagles🦅 but all them other teams you trippin ngl😂

[@Ant-Man612]

Guys we needed Rudy’s rebounding and rim protection. Problem is now we also need a point guard. D-Lo was not this trash last year.

[@theprophet9656]

Thank youuuuuuu. OG is so funny on Player Choice and Pierre my top 5 fav KZbins (yes youtubers)

[@GHundoV]

Am I crazy to start thinking of a KD to Golden state trade for their young pieces if they continue to lose games and if Kd wants out again..

[@Kosher93]

AD is shooting 21% in the midrange.

[@matthewbeeny3750]

Drew need to turn his mic down man he at a totally different volume than everyone else 😭

[@Octjesus]

I only watch these 3 podcasts about sports

[@IndigoSamuraiii]

DLO has an expiring contract so he does have some value

[@Drillstanford]

Y’all gotta work on your audio mixing. Way too much differing audio volumes.

[@kaobiokekeewo6316]

Riv talking about “we are grown men” lol

[@codered4877]

Yea having 6 teams you cheer for is crazy lol you can like players without liking the whole damn team lol

[@Haun-zf9bp]

Nah No Lie I Said That About The Twolves And People Was Calling Me Crazy.

[@Tkaayuchiha]

I couldn’t hear Drew

[@treso414]

They don’t play iso ball they have been moving the ball & JT had half a season of being a good defender then in the finals disappeared, he couldn’t even hold Giannis

[@ViCtOrE77310]

I’m a lakers fan and comparing Kuminga to PG or JB is crazy 😂 Riv come on 😢 🎉

[@ethanrobinson9475]

Not sure if you guys mention because I haven't finished yet but Udoka also has to leave his coaching staff behind I believe. which is another issue

[@Ant-Man612]

Joel your wolves pass is revoked. Stay on that side when we start winning

[@sebastianmarquez4200]

Defense does win championships. You just can’t have a bottom 5 offense at the same time lol

[@darrellwilliams9168]

How you gonna bring up DG having a bad game in the playins but then dismiss Murray bad game in the playins because it’s just the playins?? Come now Drew that was nasty work

[@future_nfl_mvp0219]

He gon see soon enough why DG is like that

[@sell2012]

kyrie was right about the vaccinations... you cant even blame him for that. he made the right decision..

[@vegan4life660]

💯

[@anshshah715]

how yall turn a convo ab the nets into a convo ab lebron smh

[@mylaughingeffect3459]

Drew the best podcaster on pick a side🐐

[@officialzacht]

Riv 🐐

[@nathanladd4978]

Drew hates the Cavs and I just want to know why

[@stonecolescoe9699]

Kyrie made it clear what he agreed with .... He said agreed with Alex Jones talking about the secret societies in America ...

[@gabstrain-king6566]

Jesus Christ Drew’s mic making me change my volume consistently please fix that shit next time

[@jeremiahsmith7706]

They talking about PG. I think it's disrespectful to say Kuminga can be "better than Jaylen Brown". That's laughable 💀. JB made is a low grade All-star. You think Kuminga gone be dropping 21-24 ppg every year and making all-star games? Stop it. His ceiling isn't that high

[@TheManJM]

Drew got cut off or is it my phone

[@jumbodagamer1442]

same
