Catalin needs to work for the ringer or something because she’s just too damn talented to only cover the pacers. I always learn so much from her. Also, thank you for showing clips of what she was talking about. That was extremely helpful.

3 geniuses enlightening us common people. Appreciate all the work you guys put into these vids w great guests and clips!

As a Nets fan, seeing LeVert over the years and coming off the bench before the Harden trade made me realize that though he is a quality starter, he is just a perfect sixth man. I think if he embraced that role he could seriously be in contention for the Sixth Man of the Year award every season like a Lou Williams.

Whoop whoop, thanks as always for the content.

[futurehofer]
