      It’s really sad this is even a conversation.. The hypocrisy with black and white behavior is ridiculous

    9. Christopher Mason on

      oooh Colin got a new camera! Look good man. Tell ya buddy Nick that he needs to step up his home set up. There's not reason he should looks and sounds like he's talking to you through a tape recorder from 1999.

      Really like the chemistry of these guys have. The long form, podcast format allows them to dig deeper which I enjoy. I don't even mind the political commentary because it's not highly partisan or divisive.

    14. Mark Price on

      I completely disagree with the Clark/Reese thing. It's not a racial thing, or a female thing. It simply goes to show that PEOPLE of all colors, races, and genders, can be equally classless. I would have thought the same thing of any white, male, athlete, who did the same thing.
      Next!

      .
      I like to watch deep teams play without their stars. Better for stars and better for the team.
      .
      I wish the Lakers had rested a player or two against the Jazz last night. Not optimistic about tonight. Why have depth if you don't use it?

    16. Mark Price on

      Nick is delusional about women's bball.
      Yeah, in a sport where there are legitimately only 4-5 good teams, of course they are going to flat out crush the average women's team….that does not make it compelling. It makes it boring and predictable.

    17. Mark Price on

      Maybe my math is incorrect, but I just looked up the title game viewer numbers:
      women: 9.9 million average with a peak of 12.6 mil across all platforms
      men: 14.6 million on just CBS

      Uh, the last I checked, 14.6 is more than 9.9 and 12.6…or is there some new math?

    20. Spencer Deane on

      The lakers have terrible ratings because Spectrum blacks out all the games! I live in Southern California and it’s still ridiculously hard to get access.

    23. Chad Mesi on

      Nick is hyper obsessed with race. There were not double standards about crap talk. Tyreek Hill has been throwing up the deuces forever and the media loved it. But when the Buccaneers safety intercepted the ball and popped the juices, they said it was classless….. both the players were black. The same exact situation.

    25. MrOshea81 on

      The guaranteed contracts is what killed the NBA product.
      The NHL you know that Conner McDavid is going to tplay every game.
      The NHL product has become better and more enjoyable to watch and follow.

    26. Rose Starr on

      When Nick started talking about Wimbam and his size and injury risk I started thinking if that Chet dude that hurt his foot playing defense on Bron in the summer league back yet?

    29. Juicy Towelette on

      It's comical Nick says the shot making is awesome in women's bball when LSU and SC were teams that bricked shots and just out rebounded the other squads like a 7th grade basketball game because their players were much more massive.

    30. John Shannon on

      Hey guys! Enjoyed the podcast but you should really just stick to sports. Hearing the political commentary at the end made my ears bleed.

    33. nim shetty on

      NBA is boring now 82 games zzz 💤 make playoffs fun mix up east and west and do best of 3 series round robin so we all don’t miss clippers vs suns or suns vs bucks round robin and then final 8 knock outs 😢🎉

    34. Johnny Baty on

      Call me sexist (I'm not but I'm sure people may think this) but women's college basketball will never compete in popularity with the men's. When a player is wide open for a layup, we want to see a double clutch windmill, not a basic layup that a 5 year old can do, & women (due to biology) will never be able to give us the double clutch windmill. We watch basketball because we like watching people do things that we can't. Ja Morant (athletically) does things that are freakish. There's nothing a women's basketball player can do that I can't. No offense, but I'm not paying to watch that

    35. nim shetty on

      Great stuff 🎉I agree Lamar is strange and bad when losing bills 💵 game pick 6 playoffs and locker room last year injured then this year gone 😅

    36. Johnny Baty on

      Colin. We didn't need analytics to tell us a rested player will perform better than a worn out player. Today's players just don't value winning like the old days. Can you see Magic, Bird, MJ, Stockton & Malone taking a "rest" night off & missing a game? You'd literally have to suspend them to keep them from not playing. if they could walk, they were playing

    39. Shamichael Thompson on

      Joe Biden will not win another presidential race. I don’t know who the opponent will be, but Biden won’t win. They WILL NOT have the black vote they previously had that won them the race.
