Stephen A not saying "Curry is the greatest shooter God ever created" in a segment challenge: impossible.

Klay said he dedicated this series to Kobe but looks more like he dedicated it to LeBron

The way Brian Windhorst started blinking when JJ started spitting facts 🤣🤣

God I love JJ Reddick's break down of the game. He explains everything so well and doesn't have non factual opinions. Best thing to happen to sports analysis.

jj redick breaking down a play in basketball on first take is beautiful. More of this please.

JJ Redick is by far a super star at analyzing each play and making the game very easy to understand

JJ breakdowns are amazing, I love hearing this guy talk, I look forward to it

Stephen A’s “APPROACHING?” killed me 😂💀

This is nasty. When it was 1-1 it was all about Steph overtaking LeBron and that the lakers playoff run was done. Warriors got spanked in LA and now they’re finding someone else to blame. Nasty agenda.

Probably Jordan Poole. Last year he was on fire. This year, not so much. He's feeling more pressure and it shows.

Stephen A can’t admit the Lakers defense made it harder on the Warriors to score 😂. Steph even shot bad from 3 with their defensive schemes especially in the 4th.

JJ has really blossomed as an analyst

Incoming the West was a cakewalk take 😂

@2:29 " in a playoff game its not about the batman's,the Robin's it is about the butler's ,the Alfred's " mhmmmmm🔥🔥🔥😤💯 he spitting right now 😂

JJ Redick owns this conversation period. He will be a great coach in the near future

Lmfaooo 😂 the energy would be so different if this series was warriors up 3

JJ is just so articulate and good at explaining so many things. He is just a really good analyst as usual I can't agree with Stephen A 😅

"Did the Warriors lose or did the Lakers win it?" Westbrook: whatttt???

Watching all these espn hosts try to stick to their warriors pick this morn has been nothing short of amazing entertainment.

Seeing my favorite college player retire early without a ring and being an analyst sucks, but J.J has really found his calling 🤘🏼

I like that they actually analyzed the game and talked about what the teams did instead of filling the segment with hypotheticals

JJ is in his own sports analyst league. Clear, precise, and (mostly) objective takes. Love it.

How is the media still asking that ridiculous question “Did X team win or did X team lose?” “Y’all ninjas trippin” - Westbrook 😂

JJ literally saving First Take at this point 😂

I could see JJ becoming a future coach at Duke the way he breaks down the game

Yeah the Warriors had a lot of clean looks, and they were containing people pretty well until the 4th quarter. If more of those shots had of gone down and there had been a couple less turnovers we would be talking about a 2-2 series right now

Big takeaways. Jordan pooles confidence is gone. Klay has been playing bad, Steph hasn’t really shot the ball well but still playing well, Dray has been hurting the warriors on offense with bad turnovers, and AD is a big problem for anyone

Stephen A. getting schooled by JJ by talking real basketball play analysis 😂

Nobody gonna talk about drays clear line to the basket?

Steph had arguably his best pure PG brilliant passing game ever and his teammates def let him down (as did his 3-14 shooting from 3), but OBJECTIVELY he’s TOP2 WORST LATE GAME PLAYOFF CLUTCH PERFORMER! Final 50 seconds in PLAYOFF GAMES Steph (after 0-2 last night) is 0-14 on SHOTS TO TAKE THE LEAD (0-6 3s!) For context (keep in mind this only goes back to 97 playoffs as clutch stats and play by play data started in 96-97 or else guys like you’d see guys like MJ Reggie Miller Larry Bird Sam Jones Jerry West Horry etc have more clutch shots taken and made) here are some other clutch (take lead shot) stats in final 0:50 seconds (this is all on Stathead which uses basketball reference): LeBron insane 17/29 (3/4 3s) MJ 5/9 (1/3 3s) Kobe 7/23 (1/5 3s) Reggie Miller 4/10 (4/9 3s but like MJ Horry & few others on here this doesn’t count any playoff games pre 1997 and Reggie many clutch shots 93-96 playoffs) Durant 7/19 (3/10 3s) Ginobli 6/16 (3/6 3s) Ray Allen 5/13 (5/11 3s) Duncan 4/12 Stockton 4/12 (2/5 3s) Dirk 4/10 (1/2 3s) Jimmy Butler 4/10 (2/7 3s) Pierce 5/17 (2/3 3s) Dame 3/11 (2/6 3s) Harden 3/15 (2/8…1/13 & 0/6 before this playoffs but 2/2 clutch shots vs Celtics so props to James) Westbrook 0/13 (0/7 3s) Curry 0/14 (0/6 3s!) Tatum 4/5 (1/2 3s) Nash 3/6 (2/5 3s) CP3 3/6 Horry 3/8 (3/6 3s) Kawhi 3/7 (1/2 3s) D-Rose 3/6 (1/1 3s) Pippen 3/3 (2/2 3s) AD 3/3 (1/1 3s) PG 3/3 Shaq 2/6 (doesn’t count 93/96 playoffs) Giannis 2/6 Middleton 3/8 Billups 3/9 (3/6 3s) Jokic 3/6 (0/2 3s) Rashad Lewis 3/6 (2/4 3s) Hedo Turkoglu 4/10 (1/6 3s) D-Fisher 3/5 (2/3 3s) KG 3/5 Gary Payton 2/5 T-Mac 2/4 Iggy 2/3 (1/2 3s) Luka 2/2 (1/1 3s) Trae Young 3/4 (1/1 3s)

Lebron loses : He is old and at fault Curry loses : Teammates are blamed 😂😂😂

Wow! I wonder if LBJ ever was given a similar debate like this on this show

That Draymond pass has been something theyve been doing ALL season. They did it to the Kings. Watch all the highlights from Klay. Same 3 pointer, same pass. It was defended this time around. Lakers were ready

JJ bringing heat today. whats going on??😅😅

I hate questions that ask “did they lose it, or the other team won it”… to me the main answer is that whatever team won that game still won that game lol.

Real basketball fans appreciate the film break down by JJ. It's a breath of fresh air not just hearing ppl that never played the game say dumb stuff.

if lebron had that last possession, the narrative would be that he wasn’t clutch and couldn’t get it done down the stretch, but since it’s curry, the narrative is “who is letting curry down” 😂

As a Warriors fan we lost this game. All we had to do was pick and roll AD like we did the first 3 quarters and for whatever reason we stopped doing it. Then Klay for whatever reason shot two contested 3s in the last two minutes of the game early in the shot clock🤷‍♂️. Like if I’m Kerr I’m making it clear that we’re pick and rolling AD until they find a way to stop it. The Lakers ran a pick and roll to get Steph switched on Bron cause it was working. You don’t go away from what was working.

Sounds like a lot of excuses for Curry choking in last minute of that game 😂 Can’t say Curry is going to take Bron off the Mount Rushmore by winning this series then not put that blame on him. Warriors could’ve won if he didn’t turn the ball over and miss 2 shots in a row.

Take a shot 🥃 for every time windy is blinking 😭

Lol Warriors lost it?!? You're just gonna overlook the Laker defence Stephen A?

JJ makes this show watchable.

That alteration between Poole and Dray before the season is coming back to haunt the Warriors…Poole seems disinterested and it’s not like Draymond can talk sense into him being the floor general he is because of that alteration Poole don’t respect Draymond anymore

JJ is needed on these segments. In fact all of the guys that actually played the game should be on segments like these.

Why is no one talking about Steph Curry choking. He is a huge reason why they lost last night. If Lebron was in this situation we would never hear the end of it. What happened at the end of the game. He had two shots to take the lead and he missed. Crucial turnover at the end also. Yes the stats look good on paper. He was 12/30 and 3/14 from 3. CHOKEJOB

It’s crazy because both of the defensive actions that JJ spoke about, Lebron called mid play. He pointed out the draymond drive and the switch onto Klay a second before it happened. Read that play to perfection.

By far hands down it's Jordan Poole letting the whole team down in a huge way!!

Can we just say that the Lakers have a great defensive team.

We are so lucky to have JJ on this show. Masterclass analysis

Poole has been a blight on the Warriors since before the season began. When I heard about his contract, I knew he was going to be useless going forward. He walked and talked as if entitled and played like he only had to make points to be on the team. His momentum changing turnovers , his complete lack of even minimal defensive effort and his “ I’m great because they paid me” attitude is costing the Warriors the chance at another title run. GET HIM OFF THE WARRIORS!

“APPROACHING?!?!” 😂😂😂

Moody wasn’t guarding lonnie tho. It was CURRY. He was getting cooked in the 4th quarter. This lakers squad is DEEP! 1 game it’s AD, another game it’s lebron, another game it’s RUI, another game it’s reaves, another game it’s DLO & now last night it was LONNIE WALKER. That’s depth! . To top it off lakers got the best defense in the NBA since after all star break. They definitely winning a title this season.

It’s crazy how the media bends over for steph curry, if lebron or KD were in this exact position the media would be SLANDERING them. They would never ask who’s letting lebron or KD down? They’d point out they’re some of the greatest ever and talk about how they’re letting his team down in crunch time.

Moody played great on both ends, but agreed with SAS. Lonnie Walker looking unstoppable, you have to put in your stopper in GP2. Inexcusable! AD's defense on Curry gave some Love on Curry PTSD. Klay has championship DNA, but I can't believe he jacked up those two 3s at the end. One of those 3s was deep, just like JP's last shot of game 3. Credit to the Lakers

JJ’s analysis is very much appreciated, especially his breakdown on the play to play action. Best decision by ESPN.

Okay, i mean this in no disrespect to Steph Curry but this is disgusting by Stephen A and the media. LeBron has taken EXTREME criticism from losing with less than what Steph had in 2018 and has had his all-time greatness called into question by this same man and said Steph could pass him all time and yet he doesn’t criticize Steph the same way he would LeBron!?!? The media is a bunch of tools pushing an agenda😂

That was great insight by J.J.

JJ Redick 100% my man thank you very much you said the things that my voice cannot be heard saying thank you

JJ's face when Stephen A goes on his rant is priceless.

Love seeing JJ Redick break this stuff down for everyone

All of them lack sleep, you can see it on their eyes...

Stephen A Smith mad Lakers won 🤡🤡🤡😂😂😭😭

All that blinking was throwing me off from windy 😂

THANKS JJ YOU ARE SAVING THIS SHOW

Lakers was always the better team in this series as I've said on any given night six players on Lakers can go for a big night give you 25 to 30 points Walker was him last night let this be an example to young players stay ready your number can be call at anytime 💪🏽🏀 Lakers in 6 game 5 will be the toughest game for Lakers but this series is over who else agree🤔??

Still not over, let's go Warriors!

Well done ESPN 👏. The team who edits these clips and the music they use is beautiful

I always play the the vids with the popcorn emoji on them

APPROACHING!!?! 😭😭😭Like he already there 🤣

SAS really must be watching different games than everyone else. Talking nonsense.

So cool to see JJ Redick's takes.

Curry was 1-7 from 3 in the 4th quarter, how does he get a pass??

I wish JJ Was On First Take When Will Cain Was There. Omg I would’ve loved to see that Heated Debate. 😂

Stephen A seems like a laker hater lately no lie 😂

Always look forward to Stephen A's breakdown!

The guy that was supposed to knock Bron from the Mount Rushmore of BBall, gets a PASS for raining BRICKS in CLUTCH time? How I wish Bron would get a Pass like this. But it ain't gonna happen.

I am heartbroken for Steph Curry 😢 I just wish he gets some help …

Klay's shooting form changed since injuries. I think his legs are still not 100% there Edit: Jordan Poole is done as a warrior after the playoffs

Love Xs and Os. Don’t talk feelings. Talk basketball. Love JJ

No comment on Steph’s defense?????

Stephen A be dying inside whenever Lebron has success 😂😫

did the warriors lose or did the lakers win? -WHAT??? BRO IM OUTTA HERE... THAT DUDE'S TRIPPIN....

If Jordan poole can score an even semi efficient 14-16 ppg that would change gsw offense by so much. Bc the way he scores would help get Klay open. Or either Wiggins or Dray need to become reliable 38%+ 3 pt shooters

I feel like what's happening to Poole is similar to what happened to Tyler herro against the Lakers in the finals. He struggled to get good shots, and his whole game flustered because of it. Since Jordan is more of a point guard and has to playmake more, he's suffering more than herro who wasn't being depended on to handle the ball and run the offense

Stephen A trying to take merit away from GSW so at the same time he can also take merit away from the Lakers, especially on the the defensive side... The chess being played between both head coaches is a big part of this series being as historic as it already is!

Man Wht kinda question is tht the lakers better steph has never been clutch when it mattered 🤷🏾‍♂️

Curry failed in the clutch. He always gets the pass

JJ needs to take over this show. We need more content of former players breaking down the game and plays. I hate this “debate” talk.

his 3pt shooting let the team down, 3/14 is recipe for disaster. But Stephen A, never criticizes his baby

I prefer Denver but at this point I’m rooting for Phoenix because I think they will get a more even whistle in the WCF. I don’t want to watch LA march to the finals shooting 20 more free throws per game than Denver. Phoenix is more established so I believe they might get more balanced officiating and KD vs Bron will be fun. I’m not 100% done with the Warriors but they were a hot mess all year and down 3-1 now so it’s unlikely they will advance.

Reddick’s breakdown of the game is flawless!! 😎😎

It was Lakers defense

The media will never admit when Steph does bad. If it were lebron, even if he got 15 assists and had a great playmaking game, they would look at the shot percentage and criticize him. Also remember when Russ shot bad from the field but was great playmaking and defensively in games for the wizards, but the media criticized him. Steph was great, but he needs to get criticized for where he did bad

Gotta appreciate JJ. I've turned into a fan..at first i wasn't sold but he's got my vote now.great job JJ

Lakers have the bench and defense to withstand GS offensive onslaught at peak moments. Their GM did a great job, these players have made a great contribution during this series.

I SWEAR CURRY MISSED BOTH ATTEMPTS AND COMMITTED A TURNOVER

Just imagine the outrage if Lebron missed two game winning shots in a row 😂

I’m a Laker fan, and I’m not delusional enough to think the Lakers’ defense is what made the warriors shoot bad. Wiggins, Klay, Steph, Divencenzo, etc. were open A LOT. They just couldn’t hit. And even when they weren’t hitting in the first half, they still had the lead! Lakers stole this game, but the Warriors def lost it. Steph hits two more 3’s and they win this game, even with bad shooting.

JJ redick takes pride in disagreeing with Stephan A and is so obessed with trying to give him hard times. I see that in most of their televised and heated debates. Senegal, West Africa.

I feel Klay's struggles (or inconsistency) says more about Steph's level of greatness (at this age) than it does anything else.
