Listen to What’s Wright with Nick Wright: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Who thinks Nick can play?? Or could play?? Lol
You guys should put up the later warriors lakers segment. I thought everyone was making good points and it was a great basketball conversation.
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Nick's point is the Goat always takes the shot. 10 seconds left, Vando leaves the double team to go to Poole. Give the ball back to Steph... but don't get me wrong. I loved it. hahaha
@@jasoncarrick5461 None of these guys could play lol
Nick with the subtle "I want Iguodala" 🤣
I ran to the comment section when I heard that shot at Kellerman😂😂😂
this was hilarious... he couldnt stop grinning either
Lowkey glad iggy ain’t playing
Timestamp please

Jared Vanderbilt is the difference maker for the Lakers in this series. His defense on Steph was fantastic. Steph only got hot when Vandy was sitting
Because he was tired
They need to set him up on some cut action or something, not just wait on the corner cause he is really a liability on the offense.
@@OffTopicKamah Next time they'll give Vandy rest to start the 4th so he's fresh to close it.
Also dennis he’s been a menace
@@OffTopicKamah Everyone's tired. Lets not use that excuse, he still shot 6 3s & he an NBA champion. hahaha smh

Lakers dominate the paint and have I think the best defense left in the playoffs. People who thought this would be a cakewalk for Golden State got a wakeup call last night
No one thought this would be a cake walk. Ima lakers fan it’s only 1 game. It’s. Gonna be a long series
@@anthonyvale2660 it's gonna be a grind for sure. I'm not hating on the Lakers don't get this wrong of course, but anyone saying stuff like Clare or saying that LA has this in the bag is in for a rude awakening. I can see this series easily going the distance in a back and forth show between both teams.
Who thought that? Most people have 6 or 7 either way
@@soulessshadow5356 what did he say that was off kilter? Lakers where the underdog & mostly everyone has picked GS.
@@anthonyvale2660 you can’t be cause you would’ve seen people not giving LA a chance
Lakers in 6! Bron knows this team too well & understands the importance of attaining home court as the lower seed. The Warriors are just outmatched physically. I like Bron playing off the ball, it makes the Lakers offense unpredictable.
Warriors in 5
@@SamUHells no way the warriors are running off 4 straight
@@TCoulter88 ya never know
Lakersssss in 👋🏾 FIVE!
The offense is still predictable. When AD holds the ball in the post, they just stand and don't move around so even if the Warriors double they are not open and AD is stuck. When Reaves or D-Lo initiates and handles the ball it's the same thing, they just set a pick and live on the result. Darvin Ham doesn't have many offensive sets. This is why Kerr will be the difference maker for the rest of the series cause he knows how to adjust accordingly and immediately too.
i don’t think ad will struggle as much as he did in the memphis series on offense the grizzlies had better defense than the warriors
Exactly. Grizzlies had much better defense and way tougher. They tripping if they think Warriors can do anything with AD especially when they go small
@@exillens Agree. Memphis have JJJ (who almost blocked Bron's game-tying layup on Game 3), Dillon (he's still a good defender ngl lol), Roddy, Tillman (who really was doing good on defense vs Bron/AD), and Bane even. Grizzlies defense really was a challenging obstacle for the Lakers.
@@admJV7 I've been telling people grizzlies have the toughest defense Lakers will face
only thing the warriors can do to contain AD is double/triple, then we have an open look for 3, which we NEED to make especially them being wide open. we haven't been that great when it comes to 3's so they're going to dare us to take them. Could hurt us if we shoot like 6-35 from beyond the arc game 2.
@@tommybengali7318 Lebron been clanking them but I'm sure he'll hit enough if he's consistently wide open and dlo could erupt for 35 after hitting a couple wide open 3s
If Poole hit that 3 everyone be screaming “it’s a Poole party”
yes but that's why the outcome isn't important. what's important is that it was a horrible shot
I don’t think it’s a horrible shot because he is known to make it. If he drained those, we will be having a different conversation.
If LBJ makes both free throws the previous possession the Lakers would of had a 4 point lead and it wouldn’t have mattered what Poole did 😂
@@travesotom6890 😂😂 right . Lakers allmfnday. Lakers in 5
Nah bro I don't even want steph, klay, or dame takin that shot with 10 left, it was from behind the hashmark
This is great for AD. He needs to continue playing like this all the way to his second ring, or in order to get that second ring. If healthy, the Lakers have a great shot.
i love his game. i hate his attitude/mindset, rme. doesn't have the killer instinct to be the dominant superstar that everyone hopes he can be.
Enjoy the win. Warriors in 6.
AD can smell the possibility of a ring with bucks out and suns most likely so he’s going for it
Edit: 2 rings will defo put him on the rafters and most likely put him over LeBron as finals mvp so there is a ton of motivation and stakes involved
@@shawnchia3611 they have to get through the Warriors first. If they don’t get 5 times the amount of FT attempts as the Warriors they aren’t winning 😂😂 GS made 21 3s and both teams scored 43 field goals. With no free throws they lose 107-92. That referee help was legendary 😂 every laker/LeBronze fanboy wants to overlook the real facts
@@goofy_xf6223 nah u just dunno ball. It’s simple why lakers got the ft cos they live in the paint with a monster called AD inside while warriors are just shooting 3s and no one really fouls a 3pt shooter unless they dumb in the moment or misplayed. Long story short, if AD plays like he did in game 1, lakers will win game 2.
The cackling in the beginning…. Then the ‘Believe in yourself buddy’ 😂😂
In Vanderbilt we trust!!!!! Darvin Ham, if you see this, please put Vanderbilt in whenever Steph’s in, thanks.
Vando will get exposed next game by the chef 👨🍳 🤡
@@willjohnwick6911 cool, he’ll make him work hard for every shot though.
As long as he make steph work then that's a win. I mean every possession
Vanderbilt was the STEAL of the deadline. Rob Pelinka is literally stealing a championship with those trades he pulled off.
@@willjohnwick6911wait until LeBron exposes Steph on switches over n over lol
AD’s swatting Curry in the paint changed the game. “Get that outta here!” 🔥🔥🔥
in jordan poole's defense: i was pulling for the lakers and I held my breath when he shot it. he can make that.
Deada**? I was thanking god, I knew it was a brick
I'd argue he has more chance hitting that than Lebron going for a 3

All of the warriors fans are. And it’s quite sad man. But let’s be real, that’s they bread and butter. Beating injured teams 🤣
Bro sad they rooting for an injury cause they know that’s the only thing that could stop him
I have never seen this graphic before! This is why you cannot just count rings to be the greatest player of all time.
Lakers stay healthy and AD hungry…….Lakers in 6!
LeBron saving himself for the finals
What finals u not getting that far😅😅
I think LeBron foot is bothering him. He's been on injury list. He doesn't want to stretch it by driving to the basket so he wants to lean on three but it's not falling.
I believe it.
Gonna giv us 40

Not enough baddies in the building for Poole !
but if there were it might've activated Austin Reeves too
@@arturzinurov2146 winner comment!
This is the AD Lakers need dominant from the start both sides of the ball to beat golden state warriors.
If he was dominant Lakers would win in 4 or 5, but he's far from consistent when bringing his dominant game.
@@MEANDMYDAD2023 He was in 2020 when they won, he had a few slow games vs Memphis who literally had the DPOY on him. Nobody on GS is close to capable of guarding him. Looney too slow, everybody else is too small.

@@pistolnowood2044 that's what I'm saying all of sudden Memphis loses . Lakers be an unhealthy team . Everyone had Memphis over Lakers before the series started . They always down play Lakers . But real fans of the NBA knows Lakers are different. That bubble chip isn't a fluke . It showed who was the best team . It was an even field .
@@vidadegamberro8533 You can save any comment you want that won’t change the fact that Davis has been inconsistent. I live in New Orleans, watched it for 7 years He can have that game and next game will go 14-8-0 he does this and if he does the Warriors can win he 20+ you HAVE to get Game 1 AD every game to stand any chance and you don’t know if he’ll give you that
I’m still dumbfounded how people thought gsw was winning this series 😂
Only one game dude
Dude it’s one game your a 🤡
dubs in 6 my guy
Im invested into coming back to see the replies after the series is over.
Warriors have home court advantage
Best sports show on television by far
lol Bro was open on a shot that is relatively normal in todays NBA, he just missed. It happens.
He was 4 feet behind the three point line, and for no reason whatsoever, he would be open even closer to the line if he just realized where he was on the court. He just didn't even realize the position he actually was imho, because he was focused on other things.
From a regular 3 distance, it would have been a better shot, and may even get in.
But from there, the only guy that can claim it's a good shot in the clutch for Portland as of today. I'm sorry.
He shot with 6 seconds left. at best he makes it, they tie and still give the lakers a chance to win the game it was a bad choice regardless
Four feet behind the arc when you’re wide open is not a normal shot even in todays NBA especially for a game winner in the playoffs
@@0A648 When you are down 3 points, you do not try to burn the clock out and just assume you can make a last second shot to tie the game wtf. You can argue that his shot was not the most ideal shot the Warriors would have liked in that moment, but he was absolutely not wrong on not burning the clock there.
Why does no one else have this take😂
Everyone like saying AD was inconsistent against Memphis but can no credit go to Jaren Jackson the DPOY the only guy in the nba who can slow him down
Warriors don’t have that kind of defender
AD Needed To Be Good Offensively 4 Games To Win & He Was!😂 They Swear AD A Roll Player
That’s what I’m talking about👍
I can guaraantee that the lakers will
not allow 3 players to make
6 3pt shots again in this series and they tighten up their defense the last 5mins of each game.
As a laker fan I’ll live with Jordan Poole taking a 3 from 30 something feet in the final seconds lol as long as it ain’t Steph or klay 😅 . I don’t think he was expecting to even get the ball there truthfully that’s why he was that far from the 3PT line probably.
As a laker hater, I’ll live with Lebron shooting 3s 😂
Lebron is definitely hurt. I agree with nick. 😢😢 Dude was dropping 30+ before the injury and he was attacking from the post more. His jumper been off all season. He doesn't trust the ankle. He said it himself, he went to multiple doctors who told him he needed the surgery and found an expert who told him if he plays it won't ruin the ankle. Broussard is like "well why would he play if he's injured". Uhhh because he's a competitor and the league was wide open this year. I guarantee if those trades had not been made, and they wouldn't looked promising in his absence, he would've gotten a surgery and they'd be home.
I think he's only got a limited amount of explosive plays per game.
Bru put up Steph’s real numbers in game winning shots, so you can’t be angry at Poole for shooting it!
Lakers started 2-10 but it’s not how you start it’s how you finished 💪
Getting swept
I just hope the injury gods don’t bail the warriors again. I just want both team to be healthy so we can bury a lot of debates including Steph Vs Lebron.
there shouldn’t even be a debate lol Curry will never be on LeBron’s level he’s the much better overall basketball player
Lakers ain’t winning another game guarantee that warriors gonna adjust and run you guys of the floor you guys only live in the paint warriors gonna take you guys out of the paint
@@MVP-JB the fact that y’all think lebron is gonna keep missing 15 shots. And the lakers only make 6 3s. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MVP-JB I don’t know. The Lakers like to run too. I think since the Allstar break they lead in fast break scoring
This need to be the first show on television 💯💯🤦🏾♂️I hate having to wait to watch this everyday Best Sport show on tv 💯
Lebron saving himself for later in these playoffs, Lakers can dominate these warriors while he coast through.
That’s what he did in the bubble he let A.D. dominate in the playoffs, and then he “turned it on” in the finals against an injured Heat team.
@@henry7765 He did that against the Grizzlies too. Didn't start taking over til the games were on the line at the end.

@@xXFUEGIxX he’s shooting 17% from 3. good thing he has AD to lead the team.
Bron had a bad night and they still won. If he gives them just a little more I think they can win with relative ease.
#1 Whenever I see Chris B. I automatically click. I’m a fellow Christian with him and I enjoy his sports knowledge and the fact that he stays true to his PERSONAL convictions. I’d LOVE to see more of Chris.
#2 Nick’s perspective is always informative and interesting!
This has become one of my favorite shows!
👍
If the warriors go zone, expect the Lakers to shoot 100 free throws 😂.
I'm with CB on Poole's shot. I'm cool with it just move in a little. Because if Poole is available I want him on my team tbh
If he stepped closer first vando would’ve closed out and forced a tougher shot or a 2 with little time on the clock
@@soulzy3596 They're saying move up before catching the ball. Cause you're right about Vandy being there closing out fast.

Not for 130 million
@@illuminahde that’s why he stood their . Vando closes out extremely quick and can jump high asf . If he catches that on the 3 line it’s getting locked or blocked
Me and Jordan Poole have a lot in common.. i seem to also shoot my shot a little to early . 😅😮
I knew the Lakers defense was good, but not this good. Their defense is absolutely stiffling and ferocious. Warriors were shaking in their boots trying to score around the rim.
It's not the refs not calling fouls that's all it is
4 blocks a game is crazy
AD will easily be dominant this whole series. Trust that
AD is averaging 22/15 in these playoffs so far and he had a couple of flat games against the DPOY and they're saying he's inconsistent? I don't know man.
Been saying this for awhile now. The fact lebron looks as good as he does when he’s playing on a foot he will more than likely get surgery on in the off season is crazy. Even AD when he came back there was reports his foot would need surgery to fully heal in off season but his wasn’t as serious as lebrons so maybe it won’t
It's funny how they are saying Lebron played well going 1-7 from 3 and 4 turnovers, they were killing Westbrook for those same performances 😭😭
@@Marlowe10100 and he still scores efficiently overall even while in a cold spell from deep…
Meanwhile Russ is at home 😂😂
LBJ also isn’t constantly bricking easy layups.

@@titankiller5287 definitely wasn’t awful last night. Last night was an off night overall for his shooting efficiency but he still had 11 rebounds and 3 blocks to go with his 20+ points.
Curry was 10-24 Klay was about the same. Players have off nights.
That iguadala line was sneaky funny😂
You guys went off this episode good stuff
The only thing the Lakers should realistically be scared about is that 14-0 run at the end where the Lakers were already completely gassed, if they can't keep their energy levels up and this series goes past 5 golden state might win just cuz of their energy.
When Steph, Klay, Poole, Dray and Wiggs/Dante are in the floor the pace is about to go through the roof. As an observer, the Lakers fell into the trap of trying to match their pace and start bombing threes because the Warrior revert to a zone defence with this line up. The Lakers instead should try to slow the game down and beat them up with their size unless the long rebounds give easy transition baskets. I’m sure Darvin or Bron will be watching tape…
Vando got subbed out just before the 14-0 run aswell
They just got lackadaisical down the stretch. That’s all it was.
If AD can put up at least 25/14 and continue his stellar defense, Bron get u 22+ n 9+, and either Reaves, Rui, Dlo, etc get it going GS won’t have much of a chance. LA has been #1 ranked defensive since Feb and GS almost lost to a sac team who don’t know what defense means.
Enjoy the win. Warriors in 6.
I mean the do shoot it like there is a magnetic in the ball and rim. It’s like they know if its close, it should go in.
Nick said A.D. wouldn’t have a bad game this series, and like clockwork it happened. 😂
Nick saying YEAH! Three times in a row I thought for surebl.a. Knight was gonna appear outta no where!! Lemme talk to ya!
max kellerman just casually catching a stray
If curry and Durant didn't join each other
LeBron would have 6 rings
This is game 1 people!!! You all get so caught up every time please allow the series to play out!😅✌🏾
Game one shows a lot . Both teams will adjust. But Lakers will win . And warriors played a great game 😂😂 what's even funnier. Lakers allmfnday
Please get uncle Colin to show up to this show one time. I need Broussard, Colin and Nick with Wildes moderating in my life
Don’t wish for an injury on that man 🤦🏾♂️
He did that on purpose and throwing that bad juju out there. He knows he didn’t need to mention that what so ever
Wildes is so sharp and clever
Best sports show on TV hands down. I'm a Leafs fan and I go to this show to watch NBA stuff before anything even though the raptors haven't been relevant since 2020. Btw, it doesn't ever get talked about, but kawhi not resigning for 2 more years in Toronto was clearly a mistake by him. The raptors gave the Celtics everything they could handle in the bubble. OG hit an incredible buzzard beating 3 for a W. One of the best inbound passes you'll ever see from Lowry and OG put it up so quick. If they had Kawhi I believe it would have been a Lakers vs Raptors final in the bubble. Since going to the Clippers it's been typical Clippers playoffs. Big mistake on his part leaving a team after a championship.
2:47 shoutout to Max Kellerman's legendary take
The max reference is top tier
Remember when Derek Fisher hit the shot at the buzzer with like .13 left? We weren't mad unless he missed it
I think Bron knew they had a good squad after the trade deadline and they can potentially win the championship and that’s why he decided against the surgery. He knows that just his presence and defense can benefit the lakers which would not happen if he decided for the surgery. He knows even without his ball handling and scoring they can make a run so he is settling for 3s and jump shots. Btw Lakers 4-0.
I agree I think his shooting is due to the foot. He’s arm shooting when not in rhythm and he’s missing when his shooting planting. Vs jumping or fading away.
Btw lakers getting swept 😂
@@FranciscoLopez-hp3kf that’s what it looks like..
Broussard been on 🔥 lately with his basketball takes. 🤙🏾💪🏾💪🏻💞🥂
Nick with the slight Jab at Max on ESPN 😂
Hahaha 2:48 Nick with the s/o to Max Kellerman
Basically Steve Kerr was cocky and didn't call a timeout after Lebons shot to set up a play. He thought his Warriors can just get a 3 pointer as they ran down court. 😂
Yo Jaren Jackson was defensive player of the year guarding AD on doubles, avg the most blocks in the regular season... of course AD didn't perform consistently on offense and he still had great games against the Grizz. AD is on feast alert all series against GS.
Thank you, Chris Broussard. LeBron is not hurt. His foot is healed and he said it. He’s just playing team basketball; and he’s putting up 22/11/5 WITH A BROKEN 3-POINT SHOT. Just imagine when they start falling. He’ll be averaging 32 points per game.
I think LeBron foot is bothering him. He's been on injury list. He doesn't want to stretch it by driving to the basket so he wants to lean on three but it's not falling.
@IamGrandMagus he’s not healthy before the playoffs he went & got plasma treatment for his foot in Germany there is a 55-60% chance he gets surgery after the season
There’s a difference between shooting over 6’3 6’4 guys and then having to shoot over somebody who is 6’8. Now obviously Steph is Steph so he’s gonna make shots but Vanderbilt is a more difficult defender for him than fox and Mitchell
Fatigue was glosses over but will be the difference maker. Lakers looked gassed at the end despite having more rest than the Warriors. Longer the series goes, the more the Warriors should be favored
Everyone is quick to point out inconsistent performance of AD but they forget that Curry, Klay, draymond and Poole having are also inconsistent in this entire post season.
When healthy AD is a top 5 player. As recent as the 20-21 season, ESPN even rated him the 2nd best player in the league. With LeBron playing subpar this postseason (though people don’t want to talk about it), AD is finally getting to show the dominant player that he really is.
Lakers in 4 ✊🏿
Ima come back to this video and roast everyone
Best shooter in the history of the game and you don’t want him to take the last shot😑😑🤦🏾♂️

Idk how this sjoe isn't nominated for anything lol these guys are great 😂
Bron was just bad in this game. He runs down the shot clock and takes a bad 3. He runs around aimlessly, expending himself on futile chases and swat attempts. He should stop trying to emulate AD and be himself. Hold the rock. Go.
Lakeshow has won 15 of the last 19 games 💪
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And they about to get swept 😂
Last shot to either splash brothers always.
Poole was 6/10 from 3s that game 60%3pt aand he has the range
Not a high percentage shot but Poole made a couple hard ones that game. He didn’t want a quick 2. He didn’t want to get near the paint where he saw what the Lakers have been doing to protect it.
Oh lord I know Nick bout to be WAYYY too geeked. I hope game 2 goes well for his sake 🤣
Haven’t he been shooting shots like that this whole season
Difference with A.D this series against last series is no one on the warriors can guard him. Last series the other team had the defensive player of the year.
Clearly ignoring that Darvin Ham and his assistant's foot was clearly on the court, right in front of the referee
Nick with the mic drop 🎤 💥
I can see Lakers winning the chip as well, but it's definitely NOT a guarantee, it's mostly dependent on if the main stars can stay healthy or course it's not over yet
Did anyone hear the “I want igadale” reference from max Kellerman that Nick said
LA just needs AD to be there. He doesn't have to be 30-12-5 blks a night, but the presence alone can intimidate Steph/Klay layups and floaters. Disabling GSW's paint offense is what AD need to do at the minimum if they want to get past the 2nd round.
Lost respect on Chris who chose Memphis over Lakers.
I agree 100% with Nick at 9:00
Last night demonstrated that the pure domination in the paint from the Lakers can and will offset the barrage of 3's the Warriors can put up. Steph, Klay and Poole all made 6 3's and they still lost. Their defense is elite and is just too much for the Warriors in my opinion. AD can literally do what he did every single game and nobody can stop him, will he ? Who knows but I'd bank on Reaves having a good game in the series, same with DLO, even better than last night. LeBron wasn't all that great either last night and you know he'll have him a game. Lakers in 6.
Nobody argues that. But don’t think for a second that Steve Kerr ain’t go make adjustments. Just know that 😊

“That’s why I want Iguadola” Nick ain’t slick 😂
As a LA fan, I don’t underestimate Poole. That guy can shoot.
Yes we did David Robinson w Spurs
What come to mind with this series after game one, can the Lakers sustain the defensive energy, that's what normally gets the best of teams facing the warriors style of play, its hard to sustain it.
Lakers have the best defense in the league since the trade deadline. Doesn't get much more consistent than that
I definetly think lebron will have couple of games where he is dominante if the team needs him to be, attacking rim is always is go to step when he needs the easy point, but it again puts the toll on the energy at this age right now. Lebron at this point trust the teammates more then any of his previous roster and learning to adopt and also kind of effecting the game in different way. He still got 22 points and couple of important plays on night where he played bad for his standards.
The Lakers have beat the warriors 4-0 , counting the reg season and the playoffs thus far, this season. Why would it stop.
