Lakers EMBARRASSED vs. Thunder, Mahomes & Chiefs TOUGHEST TEST? AJ Brown-Eagles DRAMA | Nick Wright

Insane Night in the Association last night. Last night, Joker could have scored seventy if the Clippers had any real resistance to him. Joker scores fifty five. The Clippers starters scored fifty four. Joker had what right around fifty midway through the third quarter as he is, I mean, listen, he's been unbelievable all year long. And then also the Warriors, after a little unrest in the Bay Area after their previous game, Steph put the Cape on and drops forty six.

Wimby has a triple double but also eight turnovers, and the Warriors get a great win over the Spurs, who obviously are without Dylan Harper Harper, but do have dearon fox Back. Also, I this is unrelated, but related. I suppose I because we mentioned Joker and then Wimby. Somebody posted a screenshot of box Score plus minus and how Joker is just lapping the field and that's legit. He's

been that good. But it also had defensive box score plus minus on there, and by that metric, not only is Joker the best defensive defensive play in the league, but he is almost twice as good defensively by that metric as Wimby, which put this in the same bucket as my commentary on some of the PFF grades or the original ESPN QBR before they fixed it that had the greatest game ever played be a Charlie Batch game.

If your formula spits out that Nikolajokic is twice the defender as Victor Wimbin Yama, you should shuttle shutter the formula. You gotta be like, oh, we screwed this up. This should not be a metric that is that we use or even pretend is useful anymore. And I again, I think Joker is the best player in the world. I think Joker's been the best player in the world for a few years now. Luca and Jannis obviously and Shay are trying to say something about it, but nobody has

wrestled the belt from him. But some of those advanced metrics are just broken, just stone broken. And where I think it could matter is in fifty years when folks talk about Joker the way you know, we talk about Wilt, and it's like, well, I didn't watch him, but here's what the numbers are. At least with the Wilt numbers,

they're counting stats, not and it's things we believe. The conspiracy surrounding one hundred point game, notwithstanding actually did happen, but in same night in the NBA, and we'll get to Lakers Thunder in a moment. Also, Jamis is going to be the starter for the Packers. And Lamar Jackson missed practice on Wednesday. I assumed this was his annual. The got a little chilly and I got sick, missed practice. But the reporting is that it's something to do with

his knee. If he practices today, it's nothing. If he doesn't, it's definitely something, and we're not gonna know until he practices, because it doesn't matter how optimistic the Ravens are. We know the Ravens and Lamar are rarely, if ever, on the same page when it comes to injury stuff, So that's not a big deal yet, but it's something to monitor.

Reminder everybody like rate subscribe review to the podcast. We greatly appreciate that, and I do want to start with the defending champion Thunder annihilating the Lakers one twenty one to ninety two. Wasn't even really that close as they get to twelve and one, and with the Thunders starting twelve and one blowing people out. Playing at this level, it does beg the question of when their second best player, jadub Jalen Williams comes back, who was All NBA last year,

who obviously fits seamlessly with Shaye last year. But when they're playing this well, it makes you worry a bit that adding a consensus top fifteen player coming off in All NBA season might screw up what they have going, that they might actually get worse when they add him. And while one wouldn't advocate that they train that player, and in fact they can't even trade him right now because of his contract and when he signed it, you do worry that it's gonna screw up this great thing

he's got that the thunder have gone. So that sounded incredibly dumb. Right as I'm saying it, You're like, Nick, what the hell is wrong with you? The team is great? How can adding a great player who we have seen

with those guys play great? How can that be bad? Yeah, of course it's dumb, And of course it's a ridiculous opinion, And of course everyone would acknowledge it's a ridiculous opinion, except, of course, when it was becoming the damn near majority opinion when the Lakers started seven and two and instead of talking about Jayalen Williams, we were talking about Lebron James. Well, they sure have a good thing going, Luca is in control,

Austin Reeves is playing awesome. Maybe, just maybe Lebron coming back would screw things up. That ninety six hours ago was a quite popular take. Maybe less than that. I think.

Will the Lakers be better or worse when some of the shots that are currently being taken by Jared Vanderbilt and Marcus Smart go to Lebron James fresh off coming in sixth and MVP voting and second team All NBA. Well, you don't want to mess up the flow with Luca, like we didn't see Lebron last year. Once they got Luca and he was healthy, seamlessly play off the ball just so insane. And the the real story from last night's game is right now, Lebron and Jadubb are right

in they live in the same neighborhood. As far as overall impact on the game and quality, you know, if you're ranking NBA players, they're within two or three of each other. And by the way, the Thunder also didn't have dort And so how close are the Lakers to the Thunder? And the answer to that question probably is

not close at all. And while it is incredibly hard to repeat in the modern NBA, the Thunder who are beating teams by an average of fifteen points, and at this point I got, what are a coin flip to win seventy with respect to the Nuggets and Joker and with respect to the Calves and the Knicks, and I suppose I should include the Pistons because they are ten and two and on an eight game winning streak out East.

The Thunder right now seem to be in just a different class than everyone else, and the goal for the rest of the West contenders legitimately probably needs to be can I make sure I am a two or a three seed and avoid OKAC as long as possible and then see what shape they're in coming off a championship once they get to Round three of the playoffs, because they are right now, and again, I know Denver's been awesome and it's also really weird Denver and Okac. I

don't think they play till like February. They play four games. I think in the final thirty of the regular season. OKAC seems to right now just be in a different league than everybody else. So last night was an exciting night in the Association. The Marquee game. Daniel tell me, they don't play each other until February first, right, so they it's gonna be a while till we get to see that matchup. And so they play February first, February

twenty seventh, March ninth, and then April tenth. So we're gonna get to see them a bunch in a two months, you know, two and a half month stretch, but none until then. But the story of the night was Jokers performance, Steph's brilliance, and the thunder just putting the Lakers to better early. Now, the story for this weekend in the NFL is the best weekend of games we've had up

to this point this season. Games, excuse me, games this weekend where both teams have major playoff implications Bucks Bills obviously, Chargers Jags, which barely makes the cut, Seahawks Rams, which is a maybe game of the year up to this point, Chiefs Broncos, and then Lions Eagles, and it is a damn shame that none of those games were able to be flexed to Monday night, where we're gonna get Cowboys Raiders. If there was ever a time to flip out the

four h five Seahawks rams for Cowboys Raiders. That would have been it put that Monday night and put Cowboys Raiders at four o'clock on Sunday. But they didn't do it. So we have an unbelievable weekend of football and I'm gonna start with Chiefs Broncos, where I understand the numbers are. The Chiefs have lost two of three to Denver. One of those games was Week eighteen last year and totally

irrelevant to me. What is relevant to me is this, Patrick Mahomes has played Denver fourteen times in his career and he's thirteen and one. It's the best winning percentage with at least ten games played against a single opponent this century in the NFL. It's the fourth best in

NFL history, you know, not just this century. And what's interesting is they have not all or even most been dominating wins or crazy stats because even back when the Broncos stunk and Vic Fangio was there, they had a good defensive game play in Foro Kansas City, and Mahome hasn't had a ton of eye popping stat games against Denver.

The reason He's thirteen to one. Is because whoever the hell Denver's quarterback has been throughout Patrick's career, They've never been able to give any trouble whatsoever to that Chiefs defense,

and I believe that continues this weekend. I think that the Broncos at the moment have every trademark of an excellent team except for the most important by far, which is quality quarterback and Bonnicks in the biggest professional game of his life, other than the playoff game when they got destroyed, going up against Steve Spagnolo's coming off a bye is a mismatch, and so I do think Denver's

defense is going to be up to the fight. Denver's defense is awesome, Nick Benito and company are great, and even without pats Ertan, that's an awesome defense. There's no getting around that. But you're not going to be able to win that game against Kansas City the way they've won, the way they beat the Texans eighteen to fifteen, the Giant, the Giant or sorry, the Jets thirteen to eleven, the Raiders ten to seven, even the Eagles when they had

three points going into the fourth quarter. That's not where the Titans game twenty to twelve. That's not gonna cut it. And so I do have a lot of spect for that Denver oh line and everything that Denver defense does, but that doesn't change the fact that you have either the best of the second best quarterback in the history of the league, fully healthy, with his full receiving corps up against right now a bottom five full time starter. That's enough to tilt the matchup. Now, I want to

be clear on this. I don't think you're gonna have a thirty point game from Kansas City. I think it is going to be a similar game plan as they

had against the Jags. That would have worked, but Mahomes made the big mistake of the goal line, which is be conservative, don't turn the ball over, don't make mistakes, don't give them short fields, don't let Mahomes get beat up by that pass rush that is on pace to break the all time NFL record in sacks, and find a way to win the game and rustle control back of the division. Because this is for the Chiefs a

AFC West Championship elimination ish game. It would take a full blown collapse by Denver if they win this game. For the Chiefs, to be able to catch them within the division. And that's not even mentioning the Chargers piece of it. Now. The flip side to that is, if the Chiefs win this game, they are, in my opinion,

right back in full control of the AFC West. Kana City wins this game, with home games remaining against the Chargers and Broncos, plus a road game against the Raiders, that's a path to going five and one in the division if you win this game, and then with the feeling just being Colts, Cowboys, Texans, go two and one in that stretch and that's how you get to twelve and five, five and one in the division, and that'll

win you the division. And so it is a must win for Kansas City when it comes to their chance of winn the AFC West. It is not a must win when it comes to their chance of making the playoffs. But the AFC is it's really hard to handicap right now from a seeding perspective, like what will it take to be the number one seed, number two seed, number three seed, and are we potentially looking at a multi way tie of twelve and five teams for the one or the two seed. The Patriots to me are, and

they're gonna win tonight against the Jets. Are in great shape, and I just believe the Pats are gonna be the one seed because if you're New England, even if you lose your two tough games remaining home for the Bills at the Ravens, your other games are Jets, Bengals, Giants, Jets, Dolphins. So if the Patriots can just hold serve, they finish thirteen and four and with four conference losses, that should

be enough to be the number one seed. And so and I'm not sure exactly how all the tie breakers would work for them, but well, actually no, I am. If they go thirteen and four, the only way they wouldn't be the one seed is if the Chiefs run the table, if Denver only loses one game the rest of the way, or if the Colts. I'm not sure how the tiebreak would work against Indy. I think it's too early to see, but I don't think the Cults

are going thirteen to four. So the Patriots are in great shape and the real fight should be for the two seed, which again in the AFC this year, is not going to be any huge prize. The two seed in Round one likely plays either Kansas City Buffalo or the Chargers, maybe Denver. So it's just you don't know how the playoff brackets going to end up falling. What you do feel comfortable in is if Kansas City loses this game, that they they are now just trying to

secure a playoff berth and no longer the division. And if Denver loses this game, which I think they will, they they then run the risk of having the end of season that I anticipated when I picked them to miss the playoffs that they could have. They have a buye and then they have a couple soft spots at the Commanders, which we didn't think was going to be a soft spot, but now you assume that's without Jayden Daniels,

and then at the Raiders. But then the final month of the year Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Chargers, and you wonder if Denver, if there is a world where Denver goes from eight to two, and I think currently the two seed to ten and seven and the seven seed and going into the playoffs playing its worst ball again, maybe I'm just gonna be proven Stone wrong about bone Nicks and this team on a seven game fraudulent winning streak.

I doubt it, but a huge game and one of the bigger, the biggest regular season game, the biggest game that's been played in Denver in a decade, and one of the bigger regular season games because there haven't been many of them that the Chiefs have played since Mahomes has been there.

All Right, Seahawks at Rams is, as I've been saying, maybe the game of the year up to this point. It is wildly important. And also this sounds so dumb. I hate that I'm saying this, but this

is what I truly believe. It's wildly important and also maybe not important at all. And what I mean is these might just be the two best teams in football. And both of these teams have oddly been better on the road. They're a combined to eight and one on the road while being a combined six and three at home. And these two teams are gonna play each other again in a few weeks. I don't know if it's a few weeks, but obviously they're gonna play again before the

end of the season. They play. Yeah, in five weeks, so they're gonna get a chance for some get back. What I do think is not likely but possible that for the NFC West to have a chance at the one seed, one of these teams is gonna have to sweep the other because Philly their remaining schedule and their division is just so soft. After again, Philly is Detroit this week, and Tampa We've talked all year about how

soft their final six weeks are. That if one, if Seattle or the Rams can sweep the other one, that would go a super long way into one of those teams potentially being the one seed. These are also arguably the two most well balanced teams in the league as far as great defense, great offense as far as more than competent running game and then dynamic passing attack. They both have two very good but very different coaches. And

it's exactly what it should be. Home team favored by three old school where that used to be now it's two and a half really is what the home team gets, but where two totally equally matched teams will give the home team three points. And I don't have a super strong handicap on this game. I my lean is the Rams because it's in Los Angeles, but as I said,

Seattle's on this insane. They haven't lost it on the road this year, and I think think they were ten and zero or they've won ten straight on the road, So maybe I'm putting too much into the home field advantage piece of it. The other kind of tangential storylines are we get to see Donald in a big spot, and I'm not gonna do the Pumpkin mode thing on Donald because I feel like he's been so good this

year that he deserves more respect than that. But it is that the concern last year was how will Sam play in these big spots, And obviously at the very end of the year he played his absolute worse after playing so great all year long. He also last year lost to the Rams in the regular season but played well, and then lost to the Rams in the playoffs but played terribly. So there is that kind of hanging over

the game a bit. And then there is the point that I have been maybe annoyingly hung up on this week on TV, which is Matt Stafford cementing himself as a Hall of Famer by winning League MVP this year. Because Stafford's Hall of Fame case is going to be really tricky, and that he's got no all pros, has never come close to an MVP, has a five hundred record, but he's gonna finish in the top ten and closer to five than ten in every major passing stat The

eye test helps him a ton. He's been as an unbelievable statistical playoff resume, even if it's limited, five and five playoff record and number one pick. People not necessarily holding the Detroit stuff against him right now, I don't think he'd get in. But if you win a super Bowl and you're a quarterback and you win an MVP, every single one of those guys has gotten in except for thiseman. And Thaisman's was weird because he won his super Bowl in the strike year and the one is

MVP the year after. So point is, I think of Stafford wins the MVP, he punches his Hall of Fame ticket, and I think for him to win the MVP, they probably have to win the division because that's just how the voting has gone historically. Like quarterbacks, usually it's the one of the two seed, but the very least you

win your division. So that is kind of a sidebar story hovering over Stafford, who has just been out of his mind this year, and how well he's played, particularly the last month when he's gone in his last three games five touchdowns, no picks, four touchdowns, no picks, four touchdowns, no picks, and for this season twenty five touchdowns, two interceptions, a one fifteen rating, just a banana's bananas season from Stafford.

If he can play a clean, really good game against Seattle, I don't know if he puts a stranglehold on the MVP race, but he puts himself in great, great position. All right, guys, I am going to Los Angeles to see Demanse and the baby for Thanksgiving, and just like last year, the day after Thanksgiving, the Lakers have a home game and I'm gonna go, So I am shouting out right now.

Thank you to my friends at seat geek. All Right, another one of the huge games Lions Eagles Sunday Night Football, and once again the Eagles cannot stay out of their

own way despite winning games. And I was listening to my one of my favorite podcasts, NFL Daily I talk about a lot with Greg Rosenthal and company, and in previewing this game, his Cospatrick Claiban, you know, basically tongue in cheek, melted down about the media bothering Sirianni and hurts about AJ Brown and about how this team won a Super Bowl last year and about how this is much ado about nothing because the latest AJ Brown drama is him going on a Twitch stream and saying thing

is things are not going well and drop me on your fantasy team, and how he and I'm sure others think it's a non story. Here's why I vely disagree with that. AJ Brown being happy or not might not matter. But the Philadelphia Eagles, with the most expensive offense in NFL history, with guys who are all Pro caliber all over the offensive line, multiple receivers, Saquon Jalen hurts that team being this pedestrian on offense is a story. It

flatly is, and it's inexplicable. Their inability out of a buye in a game they scored zero points in the first half to get AJ Brown involved is inexplicable. Them leading the lead by a huge margin on three and out rate is indefensible. And so I give the Eagles credit because they do find a way to win, and they're champions, and the defense, particularly with the addition of Jalen Phillips, is rounding in the form. All of that

is great. But AJ Brown is not wrong. He might be wrong in his delivery in the way it feels diva ish or selfish, all that's fine. But his concern that this offense is not functioning properly is totally correct, totally correct, and I don't have an answer for it. It seems like Petullo and Sirianni are while conservative with the play calls up until they are just lunatics on the fourth and down at the end of the game.

They have the highest rate of running the ball on third and long of any team in twenty five years, which are just give up plays. Now, some of that, a tiny bit of that might be push push related, but really their give up plays. And so it feels silly to concern troll the Eagles, who have won like twenty two of their last twenty four and of the

defending champs. But it also feels ridiculous to watch that team have zero points at halftime, to see AJ Brown with multiple games this year with three or fewer targets after he had one game like that the previous three years and act like nothing is wrong. Also, it is to me at this point a four gone conclusion that AJ Brown is going to be gone this offseason, and I would be I personally would be quite surprised, Like my money would be on AJ Brown is going to

be a New England Patriot a year from now. But none of that matters for this season. I almost shouldn't have even brought it up because the trade deadline has passed. And that's the other part of this that is baffling to me, you have a buye you decide not to trade AJ Brown the market for receiver. Like again, this is me just speculating, but if Buffalo was gonna give up A one and a three for Jail and Waddle, I would imagine they would have given up something similar

for AJ Brown. Philly didn't want to trade him, so then use him. And if you're not gonna use him, it's gotta be because the offense is humming without him, but it's not Saquon the game before the buy. Notwithstanding, Saquan is having a brutal year, he is averaging three

point nine yards per carry. Saquon's yards and yards per carry by game this season sixty three point three, eighty eight four point zero, forty six two point six, forty three two point three, thirty five point oh only got six carries and a loss to Denver fifty eight four point eight forty four two point four, the game against the Giants one fifty ten point seven and then sixty

for two point seven. So aside from the Giants game, Sekuon this year has run the ball won one hundred and thirty five times for four hundred and twenty nine yards. So what is that one thirty five for four to twenty nine. One thirty five times three is four oh five. So that is three point two yards per carry. I'm now gonna check. I'm now gonna do that matth real quick and see if I got it. I think it's three point two yards per carry. So we said it

was four twenty nine divided by one thirty five. Yeah, three point one point eight yards per carry. Aside from the Giants game, So feed the bald aj Brown. It's just baffling, and I don't think it's We can say him being upset is nothing, but the offense not working is not nothing.

Another huge game this week and Bucks Bills and vibes wise important for Tampa, but not it's important for Tampa for vibes and if they want to have a real shot at the one seat. It's not really that important for any other reason. We talked all year about this three game stretch Patriots at Bills at Rams and then the six game cakewalk they

have to end the year. So they'll be fine either way, especially in that division and with the Panthers coming back down to Earth the Bills vibes wise this is important, and also logistically wise this is important. The Bills already are, according to the New York Times, down to fifteen percent to win their division, and if they lose this game, that gets cut in half. So unless they want to be a wild card, obviously they've got to win. But you also would like to see Buffalo look like Buffalo

against a good team. And I know they just came off that win against the Chiefs and that was a great win, but fair or not, Buffalo's the one team. The beating the Chiefs in the regular season doesn't really mean anything to them because they're so used to it, and if they were to lose this game all of a sudden, They're in Houston on Thursday night, a week from today, and you also feel like there's a chance Tampa comes into this game a little healthier than they've been.

They already got their offensive lineman back, and Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin did return to practice. Now they were limited, but they're practicing again. Buffalo meanwhile, Dalton Kinkaid did not practice Wednesday and Khalil Shakir was limited. So Buffalo seems pretty banged up and seems unsteady. I I still believe both of these teams are super dangerous come the postseason. But if Buffalo loses at home after losing to Miami, I think there is a chance for some real drama there.

It feels like amongst the fans there's already a lot of discontent. Some fans don't like the GM, a lot of fans don't like the head coach. A lot of fans seem to not like Joe Brady anymore, and they do all of a sudden, the Bills, who were supposed to have the super soft schedule but didn't take full advantage of it with the losses to the Falcons and the Dolphins all of a sudden, their next handful of games home for the Bucks at the Texans on Thursday,

at the Steelers, and then do I have this right? Yeah? The yeah, and then against Cincinnati and what should be a game against Joe Burrow before you go to New England. Again. It's a tough little stretch. So do I think like the Bills can full on steady themselves with a win this weekend? And they should win, But you'd like to see Josh Allen have an a plus clean game with some big plays, and you'd like to see that defense be able to slow down the run, which they simply

have not been able to do all year long. On the Buck side of things, a great Baker game and a win would get him back where he was a month into the year in the real thick of the MVP conversation, particularly if Stafford and the Rams lose to Seattle. And I don't expect Patrick to help himself in the MVP race this weekend because obviously they could lose. I don't think they will, But even if they win, I

don't think he's gonna have a huge stats game. And then the last game of the weekend that we discussed where both teams have real playoff implications is Chargers Jags and that is a crazy element of where the AFC is right now. And this will probably surprise people. If the Jags beat the Chargers, even if Kansas City wins, Kansas City will still be on the outside looking in of the playoff picture because if the Jags beat the Chargers, the Jags will be six and four. Same with the Chiefs.

So if the Chiefs beat the Broncos, and the Jags obviously have the head to head tiebreaker. So that is a weird spot for the current Super Bowl favorite Kansas City Chiefs that even if they win this weekend they might still go into Week twelve on the outside looking in of the playoffs for the Jags. And this is why. And this applies to the Chiefs even though I think they'll be fine. This applies to the Chargers if they lose this game. And this applies to the Bills if

they lose to the Bucks. If the Jags win this game, which full disclosure, I don't think they will. I thought that loss to the Texans was an abomination the way it happened, and since beating the Chiefs, they have one win and it came in overtime thanks to a stopped two point conversion over the Raiders. But if the Jags beat the Chargers, they get to six and four with

games remaining against the Cardinals, Titans, Jets, and Titans. Again, like, the Jags have a very real path even if they get swept by the Colts and lose to the Broncos, to somehow getting to ten wins and holding the head to again if they win this game, holding the head to head tiebreaker over the Chargers and over the Chiefs, which is which could create some very uncomfortable situations late in the season for those two teams. But I think

the Chargers will be able to win this game. We'll see on tomorrow's show if it's one of the picks. And I also think the loss of Travis is just brutal for him. And do I have hope that the Jags can win and we can recreate this iconic video? Sure? Do I think it's gonna happen? Probably not last time these two teams flighted each other, or at least the last big game these two teams played against each other. Here's what happened, right, afterwards, I'm gonna tell everyone how

Nick Wright is drid. The Jaguars were four and eight, and somebody had the foresight to say, they're still winning the division. And I told you guys a month ago that the next time they lose was gonna be in Arrowhead to the chiefs in the divisional round.

I think Broncos defense presents a bigger problem with the Colts obviously have a much, much, much more potent offense. Rule of halves, Why does no one at first things. First, respect Jackson Dart. I think people we respect Jackson Dart. I don't. I don't think anybody is uh over the top about him. But I don't think people take shots at Jackson Dart. And he asks, what's your minimum height for an NFL quar quarterback? Six to one? Six one is my answer? Uh, Nick, do you think Drake May

is actually a year after your top five quarterbacks? Seems like every year we had a rookie to this tier. I know he played last year with his first full year. I mean last year is basically a full year. I listen, I think he is gonna be in that caliber. And I don't add a rookie to that every year. Now. I add Caleb to that before his rookie year. But I pumped the breaks on c J. Stroud and I pumped the breaks on Jaydon Daniels. I believe in I

believe in Drake May that he's a caliber Brandon. Can we please all finally agree Lamar is a better passer than Josh Allen. No, we don't. We don't all agree on that.
