The disrespect towards luka and the mvp race must be studied 💯🤦🏽‍♂️ shit sickening

[@ryanamburgy2791]

It’s not disrespect, Jokic is literally just better

@@ryanamburgy2791 I´m fine with jokic getting mvp, he deserves it, but SGA over Luka is just not right

[@ryanamburgy2791]

@@Alex-cg9tk Shai has a lot of advantages over Luka like efficiency, a HUGE defense advantage(Shai is borderline all defense), and team record. Luka might be a slightly better individual player but I think Shai should be second

Could you tell me what was the intro music you have for this video? It’s a very solid hype intro.

7/8 seed on both conf were correct., and 9/10 seed were wrong, not bad prediction.~ Great video, man. The LAKERS WANT THE SMOKE😂

Haha thank you.

[@JustAChillGamer-kw1rq]

Payton Watson is going to break out in these playoffs

[@Boozydaily]

Giddy shooting has improved tremendously since all star break. Leaving him open would be a mistake

[@hardwood_yt]

damn you're right. He's shooting 40% from 3 over the past month. Holy crap. My apologies. Had no clue he was on that kind of tear. We shall see if it sticks. Good comment. I appreciate that fr

Hardwood making me care about the NBA for the first time in pretty much 20 years. Does Kemba still play? He was my next player to follow after Kobe, but I haven’t kept up.

[@hardwood_yt]

Haha he doesn’t sadly. Dude had a couple great years though 4-5 years ago. That means the world man! The NBA Playoffs are a blast

The one time the bucks beat the pacers was the Giannis 60 burger. If he plays he needs to average 60 just to beat the pacers 😭

[@Bigboibambi]

I got a feeling that the clips are making the conference finals

[@hardwood_yt]

Let's hope for a healthy Kawhi man

[@lydiavalentino]

Warriors are five games above .500 since a .500 record is 41-41

[@hardwood_yt]

Yup I completely misspoke. I’ll blame it on the all-nighter I pulled to get this out 😭

[@TheDeven1000]

The fact that SGA isn’t the unanimous MVP is insane to me

[@Tarquin2718]

If he is a bad matchup against Davis, let's see what Jokic is going to do to him. = bloodbath

[@marvdatboi]

Let’s go Knicks🧡💙

[@hardwood_yt]

Gonna be a tough one. But they can do it

[@bowmain1577]

Brunson leading them to the 2 seed is actually incredible rooting for ya!

[@truss3518]

1:25 not how games above .500 is calculated…

[@yuhboiontop]

yeah that weird calculation threw me off, that was definitely wrong

[@mungriyaw]

@@yuhboiontop and how would you correct that?

[@yuhboiontop]

@@mungriyaw a team going 41-41 is .500 so every win above 41 is above .500 and below 41 is below .500 Ex. The Atlanta Hawks are 36-46, they are 5 games below .500.

[@mungriyaw]

@@yuhboiontop its just sports language and maths language semantics. in math, you are correct and the video is wrong. but in sports language, this is acceptable. the calculation is the differential of the wins to losses and does not take into account the total number of games played. there is still logic to it. ex. The Pelicans are 16 games above .500 (49-33) and it will take them 16 losses to make their win% go exactly .500. Even professional media use this calculation as it is accepted in sports.

[@yuhboiontop]

ahh understood, I get the logic behind that. thank you for taking the time to help me

[@Nor-wm7ur]

Grayson Allen is gonna be X factor in Suns vs Wolves series. I'm not even joking.

[@hardwood_yt]

Absolutely

[@lowuhs]

Actually a really good take, he has been the reason the Suns have been afloat whenever the Suns big 3 were in a slump and could score when they couldn’t.

[@markocurcic6314]

Making a case for SGA by saying they het the 1st seed doesn't sound very convincing since they have the same record as the Nuggets.

[@hardwood_yt]

3-1 vs Jokic in the regular season though. They got the tiebreaker over them. I’m still 1A. Jokic 1B. Luka 2. SGA. But it’s so close

[@markocurcic6314]

@@hardwood_yt I got nothing against SGA winning it just that particular take. Yes they hold 3-1 , but it's still the same record.

[@riddlesugg4756]

Josh Giddey can't shoot? Have you done any homework or are just pulling stats out of your arse? BTW its his overall game that is going to assassinate other teams. Finals Josh will be ice!

[@hardwood_yt]

he is in the 8th pecentile in TS%. Can he make some threes? Yeah. But not reliably (he's a below average 3 point shooter) and teams will force him to take them. It is easily the weakest part of that offense and will be exploited heavily in the playoffs imo. His best shot is oddly his long midrange jumper.

bro really said Shai deserves the MVP 😂

[@Hostessmoses]

How doesn't he?

@@Hostessmoses worst stats and tied record with the Nuggets, it really isn’t even a competition. If you want to argue he got the one seed then give it to Tatum because he won many more games
