the thing is, you need the warriors to beat these teams which they used to have a 50/50 chance of beating from last season. By beating these teams consistently even if they are not in the top 8, they are gaining confidence as they go.

Question: Should Warriors be favorite to win it all? Stephen A: Listen to the question; I never said they're the favorite

Stephen A. "You'll never work in this town again" Smith

[@damienbailey5547]

JJ ! love to see him making the next step!

[@shawnbuchanan14]

The thing is, right now Warriors are favourites to win the championship vs Celtics and Lakers didn't even make the Playoffs 😬😬

[@sicelosibiya4567]

JJ will be tossed out of First Take, SAS don't like people who really knows the game.

[@thedrewshow4753]

Stephen A Smith "What am I missing?" A bunch of stuff let's start with forgetting to mention the Chicago Bulls? He is a CLOWN who is making $12 million a year.

SAS: What am I missing? Missing guts & humility to be ok with being outmatched by logical arguments outside of a preferred debate-style wheelhouse of who can do the best shouting infomercial salesman schtick.

[@nostalgicbliss5547]

Andrew Bogut was an elite rim-protector, one of the best passing bigmen in the NBA and prob the best after KG at setting those illegal picks for Klay and Steph to get good looks, so for Stephen A to try to disrespect him is just silly. He was always a very smart player and no way can you compare the very green Wiseman to a veteran like Bogut in terms of impact.

[@andrewallenpainter1616]

True that.

[@masteroneal]

Absolutely, Bogut was a perfect center for those Warriors teams, he also adapted his game from being post up scorer for the Bucks. I love Andrew Boguts game, great player🔥

[@The-Heart-Will-Testify]

He also forgot that they had healthy Klay, younger Iggy, and better bench

Agreed!!

Why

Because he actually has a perspective a legitimate argument unlike this clown. They should stick to NFL anyways lmao like no one picks who wins the world series in april 💀💀

Andrew bogut was an integral part in their first championship,,,, screening,rebounding and blocking shots also win championships

[@Chinyccd]

Man it’s good to see how far JJ has come since the Duke days!

[@jackiebartolo235]

SAS still thinks Bogut wasn't a huge part of that warriors first run and help build and cultivate that culture dude didnt light up the box score but his impact on offence and defence was pivotal..also love listening to JJ on this show

[@ciaojay7025]

The dude set some hard picks for Curry and Klay so Green will just pass the ball directly. And the dude is a good passer

[@dakotahjackson1920]

Forget ESPN. The ringer could and should overtake sports media

2:12: When Stephen A. shuts up and JJ starts talking... You're welcome. Stephen A forgot to mention the Bulls, they're legit contenders if they figure out their PF situation.
