I'm a simple man, I see a Pick a Side upload, I click on it immediately

[@phillyeats7657]

NO BS😂

[@losangelescardinals]

Look at Dehls, last night hits a couple of clutch FTs against the Mavs and tonight he’s clutching up for the pod

[@playertanner]

I have never realized till this episode on how large of a human being Dehls is.

[@Dinkleburg20]

Joel is literally one of those twitter nerds who heard the term “heliocentric offense” “Point of attack defender” and “dunker spot” and think theyre experts at ball now 💀

[@sydguitar99]

I would love to see them react to the WNBA skims ad in real time😂

[@Honcho35]

This pod is growing on me fr

To the mom’s basement comments … Y’all doing things how you do it. Just your boys talking shit talking sports is exactly what is awesome about PAS, it’s organic and it takes me back. Keep killing it.

[@WavyJaylen]

Pick a side been saving my night shifts all playoffs long 💯🙌🏽

[@zyler.]

this the best sports pod in the world idc

[@jeremiahsmith7706]

Luka is shooting 46% (45.5 to be exact) from the field and 31% fron 3 when guarded by Lu Dort so far in this series. He isn't shooting well from beyond the arc, which is mostly due to his knee. We know your lower body affects your jumpshot. But Luka is absolutely fry cooking Lu Dort on two-point attempts.

[@ethanoyola6158]

I know this is an NFL episode but LETS GO KNICKS BABY ONE MORE!!!

[@kwameboat19]

PAS on top🥂

[@kevinscott9242]

Lu Dorts most well known D' skill is his ability to work around screens. Calling 'screens' Dorts Defensive weakness is like calling 3pt shooting, Steph Currys weakness

[@jonathanlaidlaw8084]

Love the MLS content!!

[@acewocc6708]

43:22 facts drew bro been tweakin wit that shii

He’s shameless

Bruh we need that new beat intro Joel made, it’s 🔥

[@zaegray4]

I’m a broncos and mavs fan too, holla at ya boiiii🤣🤣🤙🏾

[@communityevangelist4506]

Classic intro

[@tsquare193]

Wolves got the jokic special in game 5 with that beat down

[@yahcrack]

People saying the Pistons were punished for tanking but they didn’t tank - they just weren’t good

[@AKWuzHere]

Definitely heard ppl say wemby to spurs n trip is not on the market

[@yahcrack]

OG the best wing defender in the NBA

[@Alexander-ru3qc]

Apple's streaming service content is good, but it sucks bcuz of no profiles like every other streaming service has

[@bighomie7104]

25:48 no not shaq it was cwebb which got traded

[@fredlee1234]

Bronny at 54 is a steal

[@humza4real206]

I agree with the fact that lu Dort isn't a great screen navigator, however if you watched during the season against D'aaron Fox he did a great job. So the notion that he can't guard quick players is kinda inaccurate.

[@Tyblake02]

1:47 Lol

[@stefannjegovan7227]

The disrespect to lu Dort is crazy. He’s so fast side to side and strong and if you watch he always fights through screens. Obviously players will score on him as the greats score on anyone but if you watch any okc game all year what lu Dort is doing is demon work. How can you say herb jones who just got cooked by shai you would rather him then dort who has slowed down Ingram and Luka.

[@zacharikhalifa1002]

Okc gotta pick up Cody Willam’s.

[@jeffhardy233]

Once or twice a month you guys should pick a fan to debate with y’all for 30 minutes. I get first Dibs😂

[@yahcrack]

NBA gave the Hawks the #1 so they wouldn’t have a problem trading Trae to the Spurs

[@dchappell2020]

Mobley is too valuable but him and Zion is a match made in heaven in a front court alongside a CJ Trey Herb perimeter

[@SIMSANITYY]

1993 was Chris Webber not SHAQ.

[@pickaside]

Facts

[@demolition407]

Yep which got traded for Penny Hardaway and like 3 future 1st round picks

[@TEZEM0N]

why am i not getting recommended yalls vids?

[@pickaside]

Gotta turn post notis on

[@lcyann]

Spurs should use a pick on bronny so we can get Lebron too. Maybe trade the top picks for a star point guard that can shoot.

[@payton06072]

Love you boys #bigdixnix

[@losangelescardinals]

You can’t tell me that the NBA wasn’t corrupt in the draft when the year after LeBron left the Cavs AND came back were both years they draft first over. Not to mention the got Anthony Bennett first overall in between there too.

[@nickjay6071]

Sorry drew but how in the world would MHJ have more yards than GW with a healthy AROD?😭

[@christopherhawkins7388]

Blood of Zeus is a great show on Netflix

[@yahcrack]

NOBODY MENTIONED INJURIES WHEN THE KNICKS WERE WINNING

[@6ides548]

Why does he keep saying lu dorts?

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

The Lu dort disrespect is crazy no way Cason is better than Lu dort also Lu dort is one of the best screen Navigators the pelicans series they was literally having 2 people screening dort constantly and it didn’t work same in this Dallas series Also the foul baiting is so overblown sure he goes for fouls but it not every possession plus it very effective since he led the league in offensive fouls drawn for 2 years this year and in 21 Also how is his argument being screen navigating and then say Cason might be better when that one of Cason weaknesses due to his size

[@dinopepic9]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[@gerald.watson5450]

Weak draft. But we would know a lot more about these prospects if we had some Riv Academy videos to go back to!!!!

[@dchappell2020]

I like BI most going to Atlanta, cavs, or charlotte

[@dchappell2020]

Call me nuts but trading Zion and CJ opens up such a better path forward and can allow you to play a real 4-1 style with a wicked defense.

[@dchappell2020]

Think the return for Zion and gaining cap flexibility with him and CJ contract raises your ceiling w an insert ball handler/shooter Trey BI Herb insert Athletic Big to protect paint and run floor. Nola already has depth so just needs big returns to pair with BI Herb Trey & JHawk Dyson GTalvarado leading a strong bench

[@dchappell2020]

A Walker Kessler and Anfernee Simons return would be insane and be cheap enough to retain.

[@dchappell2020]

Zion could pull DG and Allen alone to pair w Mobley to add physicality

[@zacharikhalifa1002]

The yapping is insane

[@yahcrack]

Cooper Flagg to the 76ers

[@dchappell2020]

Cavs couldn’t afford DG Spida and BI

[@rayvyn15]

I remember someone said " looks like the nuggets are getting swept " where is the apology joel

[@pickaside]

need the evidence

[@yahcrack]

Why every team want to trade for Mikal Bridges? He’s not even helping the team he’s on.

[@justinarmstrong6053]

Knicks fan? Dude didn’t even know who started in start of the season….

[@yahcrack]

NBA WASN’T LETTING WEMBY GO TO DETROIT SO THEY GIFTED HIM TO COACH POP. EITHER WAY THE PISTONS GOT SCREWED.

[@defb3683]

Was wondering if Drew still had Drake winning……

[@haaaaandrew]

Of course

[@thanyewest3270]

Drew is a pacers hater 😂😂

[@joseesteras2436]

Yoo where the time stamps at😂

[@pickaside]

They there

[@bencrabtree5647]

Wendell Carter Jr is pretty clearly not worth CJ and Clint Capela

[@pickaside]

I’ve heard the opposite

[@bencrabtree5647]

@@pickaside you definitely would know better than me

[@dchappell2020]

Think Magic Value Wendell less than that package not based off talent but at CJs cap he’s not worth it and doesn’t fit the defensive culture. Think Simons as a younger player on that same kinda build makes more sense culture wise being an active more up tempo pace guy

[@aaronblack9604]

My pistons can’t catch a break 😔

[@aaronblack9604]

@Gman333g you got that right. We have the worst owner in the league. And the front office is a joke 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@aaronblack9604]

@Gman333g it’s a little bit of both. They haven’t spent any money in free agency to get good veterans. And they haven’t built the team well around Cade. We have good pieces but they don’t really fit. And we have absolutely NO consistent shooters

[@yahcrack]

Y’all keep trashing this draft but there will be at least 2 stars from this draft, just have to find them. Each draft produces at least 1/2 great players.

[@Jaycheong95]

Not used to dehls sitting like that

[@sunrain4532]

Screw jru. We still here. I remember when you said the thunder were winning in 5 but you don’t seem to mention that anymore

[@andydude12]

This Indiana and Knicks take was so cringe boys…. Cmon… rather Indiana against Boston?! Someone said they have Indi taking the series?! Cmon….
