Stephen A. TRUSTS Kawhi Leonard and Paul George would LEAD CLIPPERS over Nuggets 👀 | First Take 

stephen hates luka and jokic lmao

Legler speakes basketball, everyone else wants to say "Hot Takes"

stephen a is the biggest luka hater currently.

Luka's defence was insane yesterday....so was kyrie's!!

Lmao that clown hates luka and foreign players so bad it’s hilarious, if luka was black he would pick him

That’s the worst the clippers will play and they lost by 3🤦🏾‍♂️…they shot 24% from the field….im CONFIDENT in the clippers

Worst suit of all time?

Stephen A wants to be in LA for the Finals THAT bad????

Stephen A finally dressed like the used car salesman he is 🤣 💯

Thank god stephen a supports clippers....now the mavs gonna win it😅😅😂

Luka is 0-2 against the clippers in the playoffs, never gotten past them. Clippers are better now too

Biggest threat looking like the Timberwolves 👀🤷🏿‍♂️

$80 a month for RU-vid TV isn't expensive? Add me to your family plan, Molly

Im pretty sure we remembered when everyone trusted them in 2020. Before Jokic was a finals mvp, Jamal was playoff superstar, and before AG came to play along with Porters growth. Ill bet my life savings on the Nuggets.

SAS gotta be high AF

Why doesn’t anyone ever tell him anything about that Minnesoter thing??? lol

Wolves vs Thunders in the WCF 🏆🏆

The Minnesota Timberwolves are the biggest threat to the nuggets

SAS about one suit and tie from being the late great Craig Sager

Trusting Kawhi to even make it to Western conference finals is already a huge ask. He's clearly not healthy and this is still round 1

This is such a good cast to listen to. Legler is a gem when it comes to analysis.

Everybody in these comments is hilarious. Almost nothing is based off of fact. If somebody disagrees with someone else, it somehow makes the person who doesn't agree a casual. I'm rooting for the clippers in this series and it isn't going to be easy. These teams are so extremely evenly matched it's insane. To say otherwise is delusional

Great suit(s). Great segment.

Luka shot 11-26, and 5-14 from 3. Look at the box score, this type of play isn't sustainable. The "ONLY" reason the Clippers lost was due to a guy (Kawhi) who hadn't played in about a month came in and screwed up the offensive flow. The Clippers shot bad and loss the game by "3" with Luka shooting 11-26. The media want's Luka to win so bad, LOOK at the box score, they aint winning anything with that box score looking like that.

Honestly this Mavs - Clippers series is gonna be more exciting than the final 😂 Mavs will have a hard time to pass Clippers, but they will because of Luka! The Nuggets against the Timberwolves in second round also gonna be a big fight, possible 7 game series as well.

Real question is who is a bigger threat to Boston? OKC or Denver, Because its gonna be those two teams in the WCF.

Steven A forgot already the D Luka played? He had a couple jump blocks! Seriously? Haters gonna hate and all. Luka isn't alone though. Ky is there to do Batman stuff!

@ 2:10 mark, Chris Paul looking like “ yeah, he did that to me in Phoenix too.” 😂

luka doncic shooting low 40% and has a total of 12 play off wins.. The glazing legler is on is insane.

Lmao apparently it can’t be Minnesoter because it’s too cold there! 🤣

The biggest threats to the Nuggets are Kentucky Fried Chicken. 🍗 🥤

Classic Stephen A reducing Jokic's game to... "leaning on people". Great analysis there.

Minnesoter, Kember, Luker, Ibaker and the list going on and on...

They have a lot of of confidence for a guy tha has yet to beat the clippers in a playoff series. The clippers didn't play good offensively, kawhi looked very rusty and they loss by three. The clippers talent is going to overwhelm Dallas.

"I'm just hoping and praying the Lakers can get to six" 😂

We trust them to wet the bed like they did in the 2020 playoffs.

Outside of some turnovers n buckets not going in, Mavs skeeted out barely. This is gonna be a series, hope the Mavs 3rd person down can handle this pressure. As a Kawhi fan I’m not concerned.

Mad Dog’s quick “No!” 😂 6:56

Clippers gottta get Luke frustrated. However it may be , that’s when his defense is just absolutely trash. Other than that his D yesterday was goof

Dammm counting us out already is crazy

I agree with him🤷🏽‍♂️

Pretty soon to be calling it a 'failure' season for the bucks. Tim and Maddog gon eat those words 🤞🫎

Stephen A flips and flops on the clippers like pancakes lol

Crazy over look on the timber wolves..

Wasn’t SAS saying how Dallas is going to beat the clippers and now he’s not haha

As a Mavs fan, I’m elated that SAS is picking the Clippers

What’s “Minnesoter”?

Stephen A the Euro Hater

Trusting Paul George has never been a good idea lol!

Ok it’s been like 2 weeks and Stephen a is actually still calling Minnesota “Minnesoter” every single time. This has to be some sort of troll he clearly must know he’s saying that every. Single. Time 😂

Are they watching the series with the clippers?! Harden is literally the best player on the team. These ESPN dudes are so corny

They were below 500 after doc. So yeah it is a failure. The evidence couldn't be any clear

Denver is much better. Murray and Jokic a lot better in the playoffs then Harden, Russ, Kawhi, and PG. Mavs will give a tougher fight.

How is it the playoffa and there is only 2 videos posted the nba on espn channel the next day. Why bother with the channel if youre not going to do the work?

Legler is the Dallas Mavericks' sunshine.

None of them are getting passed OKC. Yall need to stop sleeping on them💀

Watching the bucks they have 0 offense creators besides dame. Not a single other player can make any play off the dribble

there is a clear difference between defending joker and zubac. first, zubac is more athletic - you can't get at him with bounce. 2nd you are fine double teaming joker, as he is the most dangerous player with the ball in his hands, which zubac is not.

With or without Kawhi Leonard being healthy Contributions from Ivica Zubac are needed and necessary for balance and tempo and flow ,, the Clippers are better when they're getting contributions from everyone ,, James Harden making good decisions sometimes and other times his control of ball is detrimental to cohesiveness and unselfishness and his shot selection is terrible ,, Tyronn Lue has to decide whether to use James Harden off the BENCH for the pace of the game to change for the better ! When Kawhi Leonard is playing , James Harden needs to be a facilitator and keep others involved and not taking bad shots ,, Basic basketball principles you live by the jump shot you'll die by the jump shot, balance of inside/outside shots and quality possessions and using 24 second clock to their advantage ! Ball movement and execution and consistency executing consistently or they'll be eliminated real soon !

Mavs style never wins. It's only a matter of time they're gonna go too much iso/one on one, and that doesn't work in a playoffs series. If or whenever Kawhii is healthy, he is the best player in the series. But it's a big IF.

The bucks last year without Gianni’s were actually good apparently they won more during a stretch so it’s safe to say that is a big disappointment 🤷🏿ya gave up def for more offense and now it’s not working

The day SAS will positiv about the Mavs without biais…

ESPN is so disrespectful, the Thunder have the second best odds for a reason. Vegas is the house and there’s a reason the house always wins

Legler is one of the best analyst .

Tim is for real..❤

Yeah I trust more the Kawhi and pg who blew a 3-1 lead to Denver when Denver wasn’t even as good as they are now

Kawhi had one lucky bounce in the playoffs and everyone acts like he’s MJ😂

Hope to Lakers get to 6. Nuggets don't want LA Lakers to tie the series Bron hasn't lost a series yet after being down 2-0 and tieing a series since he started winning championships💯

The American Media can’t accept that the top 3 best players are not American…. That’s why all the ANT=MJ comp and I love ANT but isn’t it a little early to make that comp they want an American To be the Face of the league and that’s possible with ANT but they are basically forcing it at this point with all the downplaying of Euro players 🤷🏾‍♂️

SA: Listen, Luka's great and Phenomenal and I get all of that.... But he ain't Black 😅😅

Whichever side you on you have to agree Clippers vs Mavs is going 7 games

Lukai is one hell of a closing duo at the end of the game

Stephen A to Luka is the same as Skip is to Lebron

Your outta your mind picking a team that employs James Harden in a game 7...are you nuts

The Lakers are.

I love Harden as long as the pressure and expectations is carried by Kwahi. Leonard is going to show up and when there is a legitimate superstar on his team doing super things, Harden will explode for 45

This Giannis injury is a god send for Stephen A to defend his buddy Doc Rivers from losing his job

Luka deserves multiple rings yesterday..as does Kyrie. Why people "love" the pieces added to them?! Yes, they give them a boost but all of them bigs get pushed around in the paint like it's nobody's business! That's not the team to reach Finals.. sorry, but it is what it is.. 😊

How is stephen A not even going to mention pascal siakam.. if it weren’t for him pacers would be down 0-2 rn

If Stephen is all about the Clippers, Im good. If he thought the Mavs were gonna do something, I would be concerned.

Answer: Lakers

if the Bucks loses against the Pacers please ship Doc to the Shanghai Sharks

I thought last week he just said he has Mavs to win?

The 1-1 series standings is not surprising, because these are 4th and 5th seed teams, not some Play-In Champion going up against the Defending NBA Champion. But I like the Clippers chances because they are deep and they have able bodies to throw at Jokic and most importantly against the Timberwolves bigs. I wanna see Luka succeed, but they cannot withstand the Timberwolves, let alone the Nuggets.

They were up 20 pts, don't want to hear about no whistle when the Lakers getting all the calls.

I wonder who Steve A will hate when every team is led by an international player

They just keep ignoring OKC

I guess when the Lakers are out, ESPN is gonna pretend the Clippers are a legit contender

Buck's aint been the same ever since middleton got hurt after they championship run

Stephen A smith glazes Ant Edwards like there is no tomorrow but never has a good thing to say about Luka (miles better). American bias...

Indiana can score with the best teams in the league but they don't play defense and you need stops in the playoffs]

Is he going to the prom?

Tim legler forgetting what Kahwi and PG did the last time they played Dallas and dallas had a lead

Bro really said zubac is the biggest threat in the west basically 😂😂😂

haha kawhi will lock jamal murray down LOL. Kawhi is rusty, once he finds his rhythm its bye bye for the mavericks and it will be bye bye for the nuggets in the wcf

Stephen A looking like a member of “The Stylistics”

IF Luka doesn’t win this series the NBA will be racist according to Luka fans lmao

not a word about Ty Lue

None of them.

Clippers usually beats Luka/Mavs in the playoffs and they're the deeper team. Clips in 7
