Nick really doesn't like the Nuggets does he? 😂
I think he feels like he needs to be “Mr. Consistency” for the show even when he’s wrong. All 3 do it :/
Nah I think he just love luka
He hates denver lol
He loves LeFlop.
Dude want to be black so bad maybe he have a trauma agaisnt white people
Let me guess, the Lakers are going to get an inordinately sized slice again this week.
I've met feminists who are less of a sociopath than Nick Wright when it comes to the Lakers...
He's insufferable. They aren't even a playoff caliber team... and haven't been all season.
@@JoshuaHopkins-j9oboth you and the OP are the exact opposite side of the spectrum. Absolute dummies when It comes to the Lakers and much too pessimistic. Not even a playoff caliber team, and hasn’t been all year. A 47 win team with Lebron and AD, I’ll say it again, aren’t a playoff team and haven’t been all year. I mean cmon be serious
@@JoshuaHopkins-j9oSports debate tv show and you’re battling feminists and sociopaths, god I’m so glad to not be in your brain
Lakers are going to be down 0-3 in the series this time next week and Nicks gonna throw them a 40%
@@JonNuclearlmao😂
Cherry picking the 3pt percentage in the clutch for the Jays feels odd, especially when Brown specifically has made a hard effort to go to the rack when he sees the opportunity. The team as a whole is 6th in the league in clutch time, I think that's still pretty darn good.
Yh as if every game is going to end up being tight
If they meet a strong team most of the games will end up in the clutch or needing clutch moments to open up the game in the end
Brou and Nick need to be drug tested for real
Hate to say it, but to the 'playoff Harden/Gober' we must add playoff Sabonis...
The only team in the west that are threat to the Celtics at the finals are the nuggets.
Pacers had a historic offense and we get a ZERO percent chance? Lmao
I’m glad he did the Vegas odds version of the pie. I’ve wanted to do the opposite and convert his pies into Vegas odds and see if you could make money using it (hypothetically speaking)
Best show on TV. F what you heard!
2% for the wolves ? Meat ridin Rudy 😂 this is halirous
Clippers 1% is actually wild
I mean ... as of yesterday Kawhi was still dealing with inflammation in his knee and hasn't had contact practice for a while. If he is not healthy enough to play and we know about playoff Harden ... i don't think PG is getting them over this last version of the Mavs but who knows...
Finally some recognition for the Suns chances
Nick hallucinating live on TV
I'm a DieHard Lakers and LeBron fan but having the nuggets only at 25% and the Celtics over them. It's just disrespectful. Shame on you Vegas
It's because they have a much harder path with a tough west
No way Lakers would beat Boston in finals. But they're not getting past first round so who cares
If Bru did any research at all he’d know Jayson Tatum in the Clutch in the PLAYOFFS the last 3 seasons has the highest FG% 3Pt% and eFG% of anyone. When it matters Tatum has been clutch who tf cares bout his regular season clutch numbers when his team had more 30 point leads this year than 10 point deficits
Best sports show hands down
Love this show!!
Fanboys are just sad on tv.
How did bro get a tv show lol mavs
Switch den and dal and it's ok
3 or 4 greatest scorer? Bro Kevin Durant might be undisputed best scorer of all time
At least MJ is undisputedly ahead of KD.
He is overhypeing my mavs so they cant ever succede
🙄
I'm a diehard Luka fan, but you can't have Denver below Dallas. I think Dallas could 100% make it out of the west, but Denver deserves to be the favorite.
Yeah same. I'd flip the mavs and Nuggets.
Can’t wait for clippers to be 3-0 against mavs
@@Dolphindrew Don't hold your breath. Clippers are more likely to get swept this year than to actually win the series. Especially if Kawhi doesn't play or is a shell of himself. This ain't 2020 or 2021 anymore.
@@connor_phillipz5689😂😂😂😂
@@connor_phillipz5689clowns like you are funny
All this Lakers hype just to lose in Round 1 lmao
This it right here lol
What hype?? No one is giving the lakers a chance against the nuggets. They basically believe that the nuggets shouldn’t have to play the series it has been over since the lakers found out they were playing the lakers
How is it hype, every betting website is putting them as underdogs. They will probably lose in the 1st round, but they have a puncher’s chance
@@zisolo4283Brou just said the Lakers could beat my Cs in the Finals. He’s lunching
@@stephentripp7154have you ever watched this show? They are consistently talked about like they are one the elite teams in the league. Nick and Brou both acted like they would beat okc in a series like it was a forgone conclusion and Brou said they are championship favorites if they advance out of round one by the grace of god
Mavs over the Nuggets?!? Are you INSANE?!!
Dude hates Jokic so much it's insane
Yes sir. Let's go Luka baby
This dude doesn’t watch ball
Yeah the Mavs are better
He is
Boston's numbers are scary
#1 in offense in NBA history
#2 in defense
#1 in 3 point made
#2 in 3 point %
#1 in lowest turnover
#2 in rebound
#1 in net rating (3rd in NBA history)
They have such a clear path it will be a massive disappointment if they don't end up in the finals..
Yep, it's championship or bust. If they can't do it with this good of a roster, dunno if they ever will without making changes
The Lakers have a 10% chance to win the title?! HUH?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Celtics are 6th offensively and defensively in clutch rating and 1st and 2nd overall respectively and somehow that shows a flaw 😂😂😂
Okc is the only other team top 4 in offense and defense and these cats act like literally anyone in the west could beat them even though they couldn’t all year
@@Svid18you sound slow
@@Svid18 82 games=meaningless..14 games= critical data 😂😂😂 make it make sense
This guy brou threw out a stat that the Celtics shouldn’t be the favorites because they have a winning record against the best teams in the west 🥴
Denver won both games against Boston. The Western Conference is drastically better than the Eastern Conference. Boston would not have this kind of record or statistics if it were in the Western Conference.
@@ivanpetrovic3727 that’s the only thing anyone can point to, which is a very weak argument. Both games came down to the final possession both teams are on the same level it just comes down to execution. That’s assuming nuggets even make it out of that gauntlet to the finals.
@@ivanpetrovic3727 bro be fr the OKC thunder are the number 1 seed in the west. Celtics would definitely be at the top of the west if that was the case. You’re delusional if you think otherwise
@@ivanpetrovic3727 Celtics went 23-7 against the west, extrapolate that to a full season and they’re still the one seed. So I don’t see your point.
Nick's pie is interesting when you think about it in East vs West Terms. He believes a Western conference team has a 59% chance to win the Finals, whereas Boston only has a 30% chance, dominating the East's 41% chance of taking the LOB. I'm afraid I have to disagree with some aspects of how the west is split, but the East and its chance to win the finals, as well as Boston's 30% is perfect.
Honestly flip mavs and nuggets and I agree
I mean outside of the Boston(Pains me to say as a Lakers fan) the Eastern conference really doesn’t have a chance unless Embiid rounds into shape or Giannis comes back at 100%
East is trash man outside of boston atlanta made the play-in 10 games under .500 rockets are .500 and missed the play-in
@@Rushking20 every team in the west under the 3seed is a bottom feeder
I agree, boston had a east heavy schedule and smoked everyone, so they should have no problem to the finals. And for the west, everyone is so good that whoever makes the finals, if anyone besides boston makes finals they'll get smoked too. Boston has a way better record but the best teams in the west are absolutely stacked.
Also i would probably flip denver/dallas on his pie maybe evn add some points in for denver 😅
Nick is such a nuggets hater its pathetic when they repeat he'll act like he knew it was gonna happen the whole time 🙄
they aren't repeating
I mean... his analysis is something to consider. I usually don't agree with him, and id like nuggets to win but DLO was indeed a no show last year, and Murray was phenomenal and then ALL the games were close ! Now this a first round,(not WCF), the lakers and Lebron are maybe fresher, Dlo and the others are playing better.... aahhhh you neva know
@@khal7702 Hey Nick wrights burner 1-0 nuggets🤣
@@khal7702 Hey nick wrights burner 2-0 nuggets 🤣
I'm surprised Nick didn't give the Lakers 40 percent
The Nuggets disrespect is atrocious. Nick said Jokic was like the seventh best player in the league and the worst MVP since Dave Cowens. He admitted he was wrong. He picked the Lakers AND Heat to beat the Nuggets last year. He was proven wrong. Does he believe this, or is this for TV? The teams in the first two rounds of their bracket (LAL, PHX, MIN) are all teams they beat handily last season.
He's a wannabe Skip Bayless, but just worst. No intergrity. Can't believe fans of this show are so blind. Shoutout to Wildes and Brou for always holding it down though.
nick doesn’t believe a lot of the things he says which is why wildes is always trolling him. it makes it funnier and easier to laugh at him for being dumb.
That was a different Phoenix team and besides the nuggets didn't beat them handily, nuggets needed 6 games to best suns without Chris Paul. 😂😂
It’s apart of the gimmick just freaking accept and stop whining and writing paragraphs
@@youtuber_00786lmao have you ever listened to any takes from Wildest? I can easily list a ton of ridiculous ones he's said. Sounds like your problem is just with Nick
First Things First, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
Lakers, Okc and the Nuggets having ball park the same odds is one of the worst takes ever.
As a Celtics fan Ive never been happier than when brou started arguing for the Celtics to have a lower chance. THIS IS THE YEAR WE FINALLY ESCAPE THE CURSE OF BROUSSARD!!!
Now i agree with Nick that the Mavs deserve a healthy wedge of the pie ......... but not over Denver. I agree with Brou, i would shorten Boston and Mavs a bit and give Denver much better odds but still Boston as favourites.
Bru’s analysis of why KD hates physicality is funny but also 100% accurate
It turns out you need more than a “bag” to win playoff series
Man please kd come from the Tim Duncan and Kobe era. I watch everybody say Celtics played “90’s style defense” on kd yet it was 2022 when they played lol I ain’t slow ik the nba was behind that 100% but most importantly kd ain’t running from no contact never did and bru is a analyst not a player so let him “analyze” lol probably never shot a ball
1% for the Clippers and the lakers 10??? Lol Mavs looking pretty bad vs. those Clippers, and then either OKC or NO? Very doable for the Clippers
The Nuggets hate has been here all season of course but this is actually out of control now. Can’t wait till next week when they’re up 3-0 in their series and everybody else he loves to glaze is struggling to see how he decides to put them even lower in the pie somehow
Big Nick fan... This was his worst ranking ever
Nick must really think Luka is his illegitimate Slovenian son. It's a crazy pie, prepared with fandom.
Although his forehead is slowly getting there, and that atrocious tie is really something, he's far from being considered a Balkan.😅
Plus, Luca is Slovenian.
@@NickJago3 I fixed it.
@@dskwared2u610 there you go mate! (Although I have to fix mine as well now 😅)
@@NickJago3 I confused Nikola & Luka. I should've Googled it first.
Can we get rid of 1980s techno background music? Love the show but that is crazy the sound guy is running these tunes in 2024. Just do no music, the guys do great with or without it but it would be less annoying for the listeners
That klutch sports budget must be lining Nicks pockets nicely
People are literally going to be devastated if the Lakers beat the nuggets 🤦 bro its basketball, its not impossible , need to be more humble!💯
Playoff Predictions:
Round 1
Celtics over Heat

Wow
Can’t wait for Luka to go home again what will it be this time nick
Last time Luka was in the playoffs he dragged a terrible supporting cast to the WCF.
@@ryanfruge8819 Ik I’m salty I feel like my clippers going home rd1😭
Still finding a way to talk **** about the Celtics even as they finally concede that they're the most likely to win...
😂 this was nasty work . The lakers glazing is insane. They finna get swept.
Knicks celtics eastern conference games gonna go hard
Celtics 🔥🔥
Just remember when the nuggets beat the lakers he will pretend LeBron had no chance
Suns fan here. Not gonna complain about where we are. That’s fine. Are we forgetting how much better the Nuggets were than Everyone else last year? They should be favorites
Man I got the suns winning it all. I can’t see book kd and Beal going home unless one gets hurt ain’t nobody stopping them 3 together the one team that might can is the clippers they match up well
If Kawhi plays, Dallas is going to have a way tougher time round one then Denver will and it's not remotely close. I'd be surprised if the Lakers win a game in the series quite frankly.
This series will produce one of the conference finalists so both teams better show up
Nick's hatred of the nuggets is old at this point
Game 7 Book is a real thing now 🤦🤦
Nugs 15%? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let ME guess… Luka “Fixed” Kyrie so they get 20% of the pie?? 😂
I dont really understand how the suns were top 6 on the tiers 2 days ago but now they're 8th in odds to win the title
Harder path to the finals
Mavs and Lakers would NOT beat the Celtics wtf
Yea Broussard was stupid with that take
4:14 ….at 8% & I have yet to see the Lakers… wtf are we doing 😂😂
i think nuggets are winning in 5 or 6 but if lakers win they are favorites, i dont think its that crazy
KNICKS ARE 1000% UNDERRATED. The disrespect is crazy. But Brunson has proved the doubters wrong his entire basketball career. From H.S , college, and now he will do the same thing in the NBA. Every doubt makes him more focused. I appreciate all the haters, keep it coming.
I'm a Nick fan but let's be honest, he's trolling. OKC 8%?(Too high) Mavs more likely to win the title than the Nuggets? C'mon man, you're being disingenuous here.
Now the East is weak smh
Shocker. Nick keeps doubting Denver. Your bias against Denver sports is becoming predictable. Take off the Laker/Mavericks goggles...my god.
"Playoff Gobert" averages more points & minutes and the same amount of rebounds as "regular season Gobert". Such a tired and nonsensical narrative.
If Kevin would bulk up just enough Mass to bump back, which is insane for the insiders cause yknow he weighs the same as Giannis already. But if he can and invest in physicality just a little like Luka. And would play a little slower, more controlled without annoyance and ref complaining. He would tear the league up till he is 40 cause his legs are stronger than a spider superhero, if you know how much training he put in them.
Just dunk less and shoot more. And invest a little in 3pt shots again. Imagine a stronger 2010 KD, with Luka's style at 6.10 and his experience. Cruising dude. Also become a Point Small forward like with the good stretch of the Nets when Kai was out and he only had the youngsters. And work on handles again. Cause TO has been faulty lately a little.
these guys' chemistry is thru the roof and im so here for it
This is BS, why would you give lakers ah 10% and the nuggets 15% will end up one of them will be eliminated hahaha. It's should be liked the Dallas, you give Clippers the low percentage cause you assumed that Dallas will win. 😂😂😂
I will be so happy when Nuggets destroy Lakers again and this ridiculous percentages change. Nuggets should be the favorite to win. Plain and simple. It's Nuggets, than Celtics. After that it's more difficult to judge.
I just did my pick ‘em before watching this video, and I came up with the Mavs winning the finals. No clue how my logic led there, but it did. I got the Mavs vs Celtics and the Mavs in 7.
Yo Nick, how is this working out for you? Clippers annihilate an overrated Dallas team without Kawhi, Denver clocks Lakers again, and Celtics look unbeatable. Until you let go of your deranged Luka bias maybe retire from the prediction game.
I feel like either Joker is gonna prove once again he's the best player in the world right now, lebron will turn back the clock and win one last one at 39 or one of these young superstars is having their breakout year with a title run (Luka, Shai, Ant, Tatum and dark horse Brunson) to make a case to be considered best player in the world right now. I just don't see giannis having to drag 200 pounds of dead-weight Doc with him or the Suns playing enough defense or the geriatric Clippers somehow staying healthy and being able to play enough defense to win in the postseason at their age. The rest of the teams aren't really worth mentioning, I just don't think any of the other teams have any realistic shot. Mavs, Nuggets and Celtics are my clear favorites with the thunder, wolves and lakers in the next tier and knicks, bucks, clippers and suns below them. But this postseason feels like the most wide open in years. Honestly the parity in the league has been great since 2019 in general
Im a Lakers fan, and I know Nick is an actor and he does this for work and half of the show is scripted but lakers 10% haha come on man. Denver 15%. Let me tell you guys. Denver is at 90%
Kd averaged like 30 10 vs Denver last year
This is why gamblers lose to Vegas. Nick overrated the Lakers because he’s a fan. Brou overrates the Knicks because he’s a fan. And their money falls right out of their pocket.
Tatum in the clutch in the playoffs has shot 50% over the last 3 years, why bring up the regular season but not the post season? Also Boston matches up insanely well against Dallas. Series wouldn’t go past 5. Dallas can’t stop them
Chris has the Lakers as title contenders???? And that they would beat the Celtics in the finals????? They will get swept in the first round AGAIN.
Bias Pie
Killing playoff Harden and Gobert yet feeling optimistic about DLo is laughable
Clippers, Knicks, and TWolves all win game 1 convincingly over teams above them in the title pie LOL
Dallas beating Boston?😂😂😂
Yea that was stupid
West have 3 good chances.
East have 1. Obviously and easy.
Mavs/Suns/Nuggets vs Celts.
i dint understand how playin lakers who gotta play the nuggets first round get 10% Lol. but when lebron lose everybody gon claim its cuz he so old and wasnt gon win regardless
Nick WRONG
Even if by some miracle the lakers beat the nuggets, you’re saying a they can win a title with a 40 year old LeBron as the best player?? No chance
The kd hate agenda is crazy he avg like 30 10 last year and the only team to win 2 games against the best team and yall claim the lakers were a harder matchup, they were also without cp3 and ayton last year, but giannis can get bounced in the first round and yall still don’t say anything bout him crazy bias 😂
Betting on the bucks or nuggets to pull it out is a good bet. No way my Celtics don't fck it up in the playoffs. Jayson Tatum is useless in big games.
Playoff Gobert? How about playoff Embiid?
Suns disrespect u will eat your words
I’m telling you lol 😂 they tweaking
Okc 8% is actually disgusting how does a team that’s never been to the playoffs with this specific roster not the 2020 team with Chris Paul and shai and Dort there were alot of other players that were on that team that aren’t there anymore have more of a slice than the clippers or suns?
Nuggets 15% and Dallas 20%? Nick's inteligence just lost a lot of my respect.
Its about chance to win, not whose better. Denver does have a harder side of the bracket agaisnt teams that could beat them. Mavs (if they play how they have been the last 2 months) beat the clips and okc. And I have to say if the mavs are at that level, they beat them easily. Even if denver is better then dallas, whose gonna get more beat up getting to the wcf.
Too bad the Fakers are gonna lose to Denver. I'd LOVE to see the C's take them APART in a series. Too bad.
Knicks getting so disrespected by the media it’s hilarious
Keep pandering to the Laker fans trying to say they have a higher chance than the Twolves or OKC, we know you want to keep them happy so you can get your views.
Let me tell yall as a dallas fan new York ain't first round exits 6ers ain't 100% and Tobias harris is worse version of Randle
