Colin making a cameo, nice.

[@deondricward5848]

Flagship Colin introducing “the best segment in sports” then hitting him with the “u better deliver buddy,” seemed like a passing of the guard, sign of respect, the begrudged elder statesman, and your dad saying “my name is on it, so don’t f*** this up” all in one 😭😭😭

Wildes is the heartbeat of this show. I'm always bummed whenever he's out.

[@joeytheboy69]

This show literally doesn’t stop getting better

[@or3325]

What Nick did here is more like Title Pie (ranks to be exact) than tiers in a way ain't it? Tierwise, Greg had a good point - the Nuggets should be higher than 5th. It just happens to be that the Nuggets go against the (new) favorite and so their chances to a title are smaller than the Knicks' (and maybe Mavs' etc.)..

[@bargrimironshield2397]

that is awesome.. amazing stuff Cowherd!

[@tetsuoshima9682]

COLIN!!!! Shoutouts to Greg too, best 4th member!

Uncle Colin coming through clutch lol

[@creepybantha1665]

If I know anything about Nick’s Tiers, it’s that they’re always 100% correct. I guess I should start looking into some 1991 news stories so that I’ll know what to expect from a Minnesota sports team winning something. For I all I know, we might all just collectively drop dead from the sheer shock of it.

[@GreenlightBze]

This list is accurate

[@codyschubert8165]

Halliburton has gone ‘Full Ben Simmons’

[@stackntax1308]

I guess we forget about Tim Duncan who turned 23 during the 1999 playoffs where he was the best on a championship team

[@devingilliam5601]

You just explained why Duncan wasn't mentioned. He was 23 when they won the title.

[@garebear77]

they also had david robinson in his prime

[@marcusgarveyhou1877]

That was also a lockout year with a shorter season.

[@BestStockStrategy]

​@@garebear77 Robinson was older, coming off a major injury. No one expected the Knicks to be there though and the Knicks were overwatched. Spurs had too much size.

Broussard watched the Mavs get dismantled last night and thought "yeah Mavs are higher than the Thunder"

[@PhaeonXu]

He needs the Mavs to go far to excuse the poor showing of the Clippers

[@ChristianStrawser-xv7rv]

It’s 1 game lmfaoooo

[@undrkvr99]

He ain't wrong tho

[@ImAviex]

Nuggets feel less like a massive calibration and more that they are facing a team that is perfectly matched against them that is also deeper, I mean the Nuggets need to change their bench going into next season but sometimes it's just about matchups. They def need a back up center they can play when Jokic isn't out but I don't expect their starting line up to change in the offseason.

[@micaheldey1981]

Exactly. Jokers kryptonite is athletic bigs. He has benefitted from a small amount of quality bigs, now he has to face multiple ones in a series it shows. Joker is awesome, but he would not have dominated in the 90’s when 10 of the best bigs where HOF caliber players who were 2-way players.

[@Gelato_boy]

Greg wearing the basketball cap good stuff 😤

[@markula_4040]

Sorry Greg but the Nuggets are fine where they sit. When they won the title last year, they didn't beat a single team with 50 wins. The best record was 45-37 and this year they've only beaten a 47-35 Lakers team. Minnesota is 56-26. Maybe Denver isn't simply who we thought they were and just benefitted from a very favorable draw last playoffs.

[@galaxy2901]

Exactly Was tired of them getting treated like a 2 time champ. They got 1 title just like the Bucks.

[@shawnvogt888]

[@Crundmama]

[@jasonandrews1770]

Man shout out Lavar ball. Never lost

[@CasualGamerPlays]

Wait?! You guys sounds real ignorant right now. You guys are speaking or talking about Denver as if they are in their mid 30's. They are a young team, not 22 of course but, still in their 20's. The reason Timberwolves are winning is because they have a better bench and of course they are a bigger, taller team that's playing with more intensity. But we'll see what happens in game 3, i think the Timberwolves will still win the series but, we'll see.

[@yahiaali4059]

I mean no team repeated since golden state in 2017. The nuggets even against the lakers seemed off like the laker jumped up to leads but their backcourt plays no defence. When they played the heat in the finals even though they made it to the finals they were an 8th seed ran out of gas. I don’t think they been challenged like this before I just don’t see them winning championships

@@kbrewersit wasn’t about them having 2 bigs Rudy has no offense outside of dunks and alley oops and when you pull him away from the basket he not as good as a mobile big we saw it for years in Utah that’s why people questioned the trade not because he not elite around the rim defensively
