The Euro credit pool nice defense there so casual pozz says get that out of here probably the worst play of the season so there was no other way to start off this video but we’re now halfway through the 2324 MBA season a lot of teams have had their ups other
Teams have had their downs there’s been some surprising teams and there’s been some disappointing teams but at the end of the day these are the 30 organizations in the National Basketball Association and they all have one goal at the end of the season to hold the
Larry at the end of June so I’m going to give you one take I have per team for third place so far up to this point in the season I’m not going to give you no weak takes like Wy showing rookie of the year or yoka showing MVP we all know
That or if you don’t agree with that it’s still a take a majority people can see at least so the date I’m recording this on is currently January 30th I’m going to go down the standings from bottom to top as they sit right now and we’ll start off with the East and of
Course that means we got to start off with the pist sorry Pistons fans the Pistons are horrible so horrible actually I think the Pistons only have nine guys that should be currently on an NBA roster and I’m not counting galinari because he’s played two games with the pissing so far
Same with Monte Morris he’s only checked in three games the nine guys though Kate Cunningham banovich Jayden Ivy Alec Burks Isaiah Stewart assar Thompson giving him the benefit of the doubt cuz he can’t seem to put the ball in the basket right now but of course Jaylen
Durren mark casser and I think Kevin Knox can find himself one of rosters a stand in the corner guy a guy who shoots a high clip from three I mean this team is terrible remember how happy kateen Monte were after their streak ended oh man I feel
Amazing yeah this my first time trying not to just be you know cheesing right now in this interview but I feel good it was it’s been a long time coming so don’t want to go back to where we were in a ton of locker rooms my whole life
And uh that’s that’s a first for me to have that kind of um it wasn’t relief it was just like thank God you know finally and uh guys were screaming I was almost in tears and um I’m just so happy for our guys I’m happy for everybody in the locker room now
We’re looking at the Wizards the Wizards man they’re not really good either but there’s a difference from the Wizards and the Pistons the wizards they have some good players on their roster they just suck as an organization as a whole there’s a lot more to winning than just
Players it goes deeper than that staff is also extremely important as well cuz the Wizards have players I mean look at this kuzman’s percentages are down but he can be the third best player on a championship team we’ve seen it before P has not really been good this season I
Can’t lie but then tus Jones 12-4 of 5041 splits odia 126 and four of 5038 splits Bal who’s a rookie a defensive stud gford can be a really solid bench piece on a winning team or maybe even a starting center if he’s surrounded by the right pieces and then kissper 11
Points on 4836 splits in 21 minutes per game the Wizards have some extremely efficient players but they have no culture or no winning mentality I mean remember obvia getting mad at the fans for chanting let’s go Knick it just gets me it gets me angry sometimes honestly
Like playing in your in your city and like having the whole stadium cheering let’s go Nicks and those people buying tickets just one single ticket to cheer the Nicks that it’s not something that you’ll see in Europe physically playing on the floor especially big minutes if
You do and I look at a guy like landre Shaman who could potentially be that type of player for really any team in this league so the current 13 seat is the Charlotte Hornets and hornets fans I know you got Lamela Ball but you got your other guy too Brandon Miller is
Really really good and honestly when I watch him all I can see is a young demon Booker I mean look at this this is a comparison of their first Seasons each Brandon books is a full season Miller is only half but the stats are pretty similar plus Miller’s only been picking
It up as a recent but for the stats Miller averages 1.3 more points 1.4 more rebounds three less assists but then Miller has him in both field goal and three point percentage although they’re very similar but that’s the point Brandon Miller has just been able to go
Out there and get you buckets it reminds me a lot of Deon Booker and this guy’s the limit for this guy in my opinion a Hornets cold take though I love leaky he’s never made a free throw as a pro but he has now I love leaky in the
To seed we currently got the Toronto Raptors a team who was part of two big trades this season and they got one guy in those trades who I think me and a lot of other NBA fans might have been wrong about RJ Barrett maybe being a third option of Randall and Bronson wasn’t
Fitting for him cuz rap throughs RJ Barrett straight bucket and this isn’t really a hot take I didn’t really have a true hot take for the Raptors they’re a weird team I just wanted to admit I might have been wrong about RJ Barrett in the 13 games he’s played for the
Raptors he’s averaging 21 points 7.1 rebounds 3 and a half assist and he’s shooting 55% from the field plus 36 from downtown I didn’t really have much to say about the Raptors cuz they’re kind of a weird stage but I’m happy for RJ Barrett and it seems like a lot of other
Players around the league are too I’m happy for both of them there’s a fresh start new start somewhere they can blossom um and be the great players that they are uh RJ got to the bag y congrats to him and that’s time for quick he
Deserves it he was a it was a situation in New York where he did the best he could possibly do for the minutes that he got I agree and it’s just hard you had Jaylen Brunson that was balling so you’re not getting the minutes of like
You can be playing well but you putting JB back in the game you got to you got to you know what I’m saying so it was a tough situation and he he made the best of it I don’t think he ever complained about it he he he was he came in every
Day was a pro worked his ass off yeah and I’m happy for quick man he can go out there and Blossom and RJ’s even playing well for Toronto right now so I’m happy for both of those guys RJ’s back at home and he can go out there and
Do what he wants to do and uh play at a high level so I’m happy for both of them guys I’m excited to see that because I know like going back home and playing for your hometown like that can be good that also could be bad you know what I
Mean so like you said RJ already got to the bag you know what I mean so it’s now it’s like all right I got my money but how can I go and get that third contract now for the last team who’s currently out of the plane in the Eastern
Conference the Atlanta Hawks and trust me before they say this I think Trey young is one of the most talented players in basketball right now in the entire Planet the guy has a skill set to match anyone he can find his teammates and thread any needle but my problem
With him the Atlanta hwks won’t win until Trey young becomes more efficient I mean Trey is shooting the second worst field goal percentage of his entire career so far the season of course he’s an extremely gifted offensive weapon he averages 27-11 there’s no denying that but look at this of players who play
Significant minutes on the Hawks akung Wu 58.7% papella 57.1 1% those guys just don’t know so if you don’t want to count them Jaylen Johnson 54.1% de Dante Murray 46.9% DeAndre Hunter 46% bonovich 43% Trey young 42.3% something I’ve always stressed efficiency is the most important part of
Winning basketball it’s really hard to win games when your best player is this inefficient right now and again I think Trey young is awesome and even if he can raise that back up to the 46% it was a few seasons ago I think you’d see some
More W’s in the Hawks winning column but now we’re looking at the first team in the playin and that’s the Brooklyn Nets and there’s a guy who just retired for them I’m not sure if you forgot about him or not but his name is Ben Simmons
And me personally I think every team in the league would want a healthy Ben Simmons on their roster I mean look at the last five games he’s played yesterday in his return 10 points and 11 assists and 18 minutes before he got hurt gain put 15 rebounds and four
Assists eight points nine rebounds six assist 11 rebounds 5 assist 11 points 10 rebounds eight assist and look how many Second Chance opportunities he gets for his team there’s one guy that these stats remind me of Draymond Green and although he can’t score for [ __ ] he’s
Going to do some other things that help you win basketball games you mentioned just when you checked in like you had a fast break like 4 seconds after you got in the game it’s always a fast break when I had the ball yeah now we’re looking at the Chicago Bulls Bulls bulls
What are we going to do with you this isn’t even a hot anymore blow it up Bulls it’s not going to work and I’m sorry for Bulls fans if you’re watching this I’m sorry Kenny but really it’s time for the Bulls to end the LaVine the
R roen vich experiment it’s not going to work and they’re not getting any younger and I hate to sound like that old annoying neighbor who just straight up hates but it seems pretty obvious to everyone and what better time to do it than right now you found a great
Starting piece for the rebuild Kobe white he’s 23 years old averaging 195 and5 on 46% from the field and 39 for deep a has been awesome recently and you have a guy who I think can be extremely valuable to a winning team Alex Caruso get picks get young players it’s time
For a team reset his rebuild can be done very quickly if done right Mark everle you’re on the clock Tomar this feels like the most frustrated we’ve heard you just kind of speaking about the team state in the last couple seasons is that an accurate assessment I mean I can’t fake it I’m
Frustrated yeah I’m frustrated um I feel like it’s rightfully so as a competitor you know everybody Lo frustrated but it’s from a it’s from a from a good a good place of just being a competitor you know and and wanted to figure out that bad and just you know
Put put put a couple wins together you know with that I really truly believe that it can shift everything forward you’re 18 in the East currently the Orlando Magic eight words i’ love what the Orlando Magic are doing and my take for them not this season but
Maybe starting in even two or three seasons the Orlando Magic are going to be Championship contenders for the next decade I don’t expect much from this season maybe even a first round exit but look at this palan carol 21 years old 23 points s rebounds five assists on 45 35
Splits so good numbers but he’s going to improve the efficiency a little he’s 21 their second guy fron Vagner 22 years old 26 and 4 on 4631 splits so an improved three-point percentage and there’s no reason he can’t be the second or third option on a great team and
That’s not even mentioning Jaylen Suggs one of the best hustle players in the NBA every winning team needs one of those guys they still have Cole Anthony Marquel folz Anthony black m Vagner Wendell Carter baz when a star becomes available they’re going to be ready to throw a nice package that most teams
Aren’t going to be able to match I’m really high on their Orlando Magic and I but Michael Jackson would be able to make a song as good as the Orlando Magic Song the other team in Florida I’m looking at next I’m going to be completely honest this team is a mess right now they’re currently on a seven game losing streak and I don’t know exactly where it went wrong for the heat but it went wrong somewhere and my take
For the heat get consistent bolstra consistency builds Foundation why did they heat use a new starting lineup every every game for the HTE there’s three players who have started every game they played hero bam and Butler after that there’s 13 other guys who have started games for the Heat this
Season all of these 13 guys have had games where they come off the bench too it’s not like there’s just a starter who got hurt it’s like spoler picks out of a hat with the other two starters are that day look at a team like the Celtics they
Have five players who started every game they played this season it’s a lot easier to feed off each other when you’re getting used to each other I don’t understand what did he game from not staying consist they’re coming off of finals they’re a good team it’ll come
To you if you keep going not just keep changing Boston I’m on the way I’m on the way can’t wait I’ve been out for too long I’m getting thirsty we’re on the way now for the teams who currently wouldn’t have to play a playing game first team the
Indiana Pacers my take tiako has a career you’re scoring the ball next season the 2425 season it’s going to take him a little bit to get acclimated fully to the Pacers in halberton but I think when he does it’s going to completely benefit him seak likes to
Push the ball and so does tyres Salton it’s a great pairing and so far in the six games he’s played with Indiana he’s been extremely efficient 21 points per game on 57% from the field 38 1 half from three and I’m looking for SE yakum to average 25 or higher next season
After getting used to the Indiana system what you think of the way that Pascal was able to defend jiren Jackson I feel like that was a significant development in this game well the last the last play of the game for them was one of the reasons we traded for Pascal
You know um putting him on a playmaking big like Jackson and uh they ran a keeper um he smelled it out was able to stay in front forc a difficult shot and then the rebound and then the game was basically over so the Cavs not many
Teams in the NBA have been as hot as the Cav’s been recently 10 of their last 11 games were W’s and they doing this without two stars Allstar Darius Garland and defensive L of the Year finalist Evan Mobley but 10 of 11 wins doesn’t happen by luck and honestly the injuries
May have been a blessing and disguise for the Cavs not that I would ever wish injuries on anyone I would never but there’s guys that have stepped up Sam Morel Craig Porter Jr Tristan Thompson these guys are dogs and they play their ass off every single game and that’s
What the Cavs needed cuz they were really stagnant before that and it’s hard to imagine a world where Evan and Darius Garland are watching this from the bench and they don’t want to be part of it I expect huge things from the Cavs in their return Donovan says that W
Construct does Donovan have any comments before we start about Isaac’s play tonight especially defensively thank you thank you thank you so you know this is probably the fourth fifth sixth whatever game that you’ve just been holding all NBA and some Hall of Fame players you know to
Rough nights you know so my question to you is do you want to make a campaign for all them or all defensive team team or or what can you make the campaign for me I mean I will but I feel like you should definitely speak out and say it
Yourself I’m going let my work do all the Talking there you have it humble answer ladies and gentlemen thank you Isaac aor the New York nicker boers currently at the fourth seat in the Eastern Conference and this team is legitimate like extremely legitimate and they’re
Great as a team but they wouldn’t be out here without Jaylen Brunson and I don’t think it’s a hot take to say he should have started over Daman liard but I think Jaylen Brunson is pretty easily a top 15 player in the NBA I mean he’s
Averaging 27 points per game on 48% from the field and 42 from deep and let’s look at this here’s a player we all consider top 10 in the NBA Jason Tatum essentially they averaged the same amount of points per game Tatum point two more Tatum does have him on rebounds
As he should and Brunson does have Tatum on assist as he should but Steals and blocks are both basically the same and then Bronson is the more efficient player of the two in every single category or field goal percentage by one three-point percentage by 6% free throw percentage by two effective field goal
Percentage by one and then his box plus minus and value over replacement are both also essentially the same but I think we don’t talk about Jaylen Bron cuz he’s not as big of a name as Damen Lillard or Tyrese halberton but this guy is hooping this season and if you don’t
Believe me tune in to a New York Nick game how was it for you guys out there tonight um it’s definitely an adjustment the um now losing two big pieces but uh you know we got to find a way mentality is always mentality is always um nextmen mentality and um just collectively being
Better as a group is there anything that you think you learned like back in Dallas when luku was out for stretches like with Julie’s being gone out that you can apply to this situation now I think it’s totally different I think I think it’s um different um now
For the big three powerhouses of the East the first one of the three is the Philadelphia 76ers and they’re really good this season too like they’re so good in fact I think if Tobias Harris averages 20 points per game in the playoffs on 50% field goal shooting the
76ers can win it all he’s currently averaging 17 and a half points per game on 50% shooting I’m a little nervous how Tyrese Maxi plays when the game slows down in the playoffs but Joel embi is playing maybe the most dominant basketball I’ve ever seen from a player
In my life I wasn’t old enough to watch Lakers show back but everyone says this is the closest thing to it I mean that 70 piece was just complete dominance the whole Night [Applause] process yeah get him yeah [Applause] now we’re looking at the Milwaukee Bucks I think now that the Bucks have the ring they have Damen Lillard I think just maybe Yannis has become underrated and I know you’re saying it’s not possible but guess what Giannis is currently fifth in
Odds to an MVP he’s the two seed averaging 31 points per game 12 rebounds six assist and he’s shooting 60% from the field plus he’s arguably the best defensive player in the NBA I don’t love the Bucks roster I don’t think they’re constructed as good as they should be
But I think we tend to forget how good Giannis really is I mean at least they have Doc Rivers now that part yeah but not even that I never even see a coach get traded doc got traded tra got traed never seen player you yo yo you can take the coach
Too take the coach while you at it how you train a coach [ __ ] I never te a coach his agent that’s who we need to be talking to the whole [ __ ] is though if you not get of a coach no no like well you can take the coach what you
Do I tell you what the New York and me York my fault mark my fault Mark ain’t trade the [ __ ] that is what is jacket is absolutely f is that on the website is that on the the number one seed in the East the Boston Celtics they have a lot of great
Players of course Jason Tatum who starting in the All-Star game but it isn’t just him they have holiday white brown Tatum porzingis they’re starting five and honestly that starting five is right there with the best starting lineups of the 2020 so far all five of these guys average at least 13 points
Per game on 4 6% from the field they’re all extremely efficient and although I don’t love the Celtics depth the starting lineup is completely dominant not a team I would want to see in the playoffs are you reclaiming the kiss of death from Jason Jason got it from me I know are
You claiming a bag I say you did it oh no he can have he can borrow it you know what I mean usually we both do it at a great time so usually that means we either won the game or we winning the game so I’ll take it now
We’re heading out west we got to start off with the San Antonio Spurs and it’d be boring to say that wemi should win rookie of the year we all know that by now sorry jat fans it’s wemi but how about this Wy is the best rookie since Blake Griffin back in 2011 he’s
Averaging 20.6 points per game 10.1 rebounds he rose his field goal percentage up to 46 after struggling to start the year plus he’s leading the league averaging 3.1 blocks per game and when this guy starts knocking down the Deep ball consistently it’s over for the league W’s going to dominate the NBA for
Really long time but the Spurs are absolutely awful though don’t get me wrong straight up trash but the rebuild should be pretty easy with Victor one Bama Steve said that he saw that you have kind of been rejuvenated after this summer obviously the big draft well let
Me what was I being rejuvenated from was I was I in a mental institution or was I was I uh depressed and curled up in my bedroom or something I she said he knows you better Steve’s an [ __ ] I agree okay okay and I wouldn’t tell him that
Tonight after the game after the Spurs the 14 seed we have the Portland tril Blazers honestly the Blazers are well the Blazers I don’t really have much to say about them I can’t even think of a hot take the only thing I can think of is they should trade Jeremy Grant
Someone will give you something for him he averages 21 points on 4 640 splits it’s time to move on from them they are winning a championship anytime soon just take the assets while you can but that would bring us to the Memphis Grizzlies the Grizzlies got straight up screwed by
Injuries this year J Bane smart Adams the list goes on but you have some young guys who’ve been doing their thing Vince Williams all D but there’s one guy in particular I think has an extremely high ceiling GG Jackson the youngest player in the NBA in 15 and 1 12 minutes this
Guy’s averaging 8.3 points on 4 48 46 splits Memphis get this guy some more run Vince digging at it but he maintains a dribble now he loses it picked up by Kar Griz he’s three on one B for GG yes and the foul oh my not the dunk he was
Looking for but count it anyway next up we got the dynasty the Golden State Warriors they’s still a dynasty right joking the Warriors suck and honestly I think it might be time to trade Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins don’t get me wrong I love both of these guys but they
Are playing good and Steph Curry only has so much time left as Prime Steph Curry he needs help Cays averaging 172 points on 42 39 splits Wiggins 12.3 points 4331 splits I think attending teams will take both of these guys still but you could probably get a young
Player picks that you could flip along with maybe like pod next year for a real guy when help becomes available for curry that might work if it was a need to be loud you look around you see everybody I heard Oracle was it’s it’s l like a time bomb like and
They I always say they just wait for step to make a three wait they just waited and like and we always a third like that was our Ence third quarter we G come out that’s the first three minutes that’s our that’s where we that’s ourand but we own the beginning
Of the third quarter he all happy Warriors we third quarter bro but the last team or the first team who’s technically out of the play in the Houston Rockets the Rockets started off this season looking legit legate but since then it hasn’t been the same but they have one guy in particular someone
I think could be a top 10 player really soon well actually within the next 5 years I think Alber s will be a top 10 player in the NBA he does everything he averages 21.9 points 9.2 rebounds 5.1 assist and he’s shooting 54% from the field this guy’s a mini yic and honestly
I think rocket fans know they have their guy it’ll be interesting to see if he cracks the All-Star team you know the mini yic thing does the yic comparison does that bother you I mean no no no not for now you know I’m still young but
After some point yeah do you feel like it’s a a pretty big compliment I mean yeah they mean like my game is similar to him yeah is it true though you know we kind of play yeah same game it was when they were telling me first time I
Came here yeah you know it was sounds better and like sounds better but getting getting like you know getting your own space now in NBA you know on your spot so of course when he got retired or something when he got old and I’m going to some age you know I don’t
Want to people tell me to like meet baby yic you know right right now it’s fine right now I’m like a baby but like when I grow up I don’t want to hear that at the Tennesse the last team in the playoffs the Utah Jazz and they’re the
Complete opposite of the Rockets they started off slower but they picked it up as a recent and I’m going to repeat what I did with the rockets and talk about the team’s best player Larry Marinet and this is a guy I’m really on so high I think L margin can actually be the
Second best player in a championship team right now no future stuff like sangun this guy’s legitimate right now he’s averaging 23.7 points per game and 8.8 rebounds out 4940 splits Elite numbers there isn’t much this guy can do the pass out Markin and puts it down on
The floor drives inside he created his own sp and spins in for two what just happened next up who else but the Los Angeles Lakers I don’t even know how to make make a hot take about the Lakers cuz I could say Austin Reams is the best
Player in the NBA and Laker fans are say that’s a cold take well for real I don’t have anything to say about LeBron or ad we all know they’re still two of the best players in the NBA but there’s a guy buried on the bench and it’s time to
Get him legitimate minutes Christian Wood I mean this guy’s had 20 point per game seasons in the NBA but for some reason he struggles to get 20 minutes per game on the Lakers plus when he’s out there he’s going to get you boards too in only 18 minutes per game he
Averaged seven points and five rebounds while shooting 47% from the field and although I was never high on Christian Wood I think LeBron could really get this guy going he’s a Hooper the Lakers need something they’re one of the most inconsistent teams I’ve ever seen uh here a question not related to
To the game if you allow me uh Ricky Rubio announced his retirement from the NBA yesterday uh what do you think about the the career that he has had uh in the in the MBA um I’m I’m not really in the mood to answer that question but I respect
Ricky um congratulations on the hell of a career and uh if I don’t see if I don’t seem sincere when you see this video is because we got our ass whooped again and I apologize so it was actually bad timing on the interviewer asking me this question it’s not me Ricky so
Congratulations after the Lakers we got the New Orleans Pelicans Pelicans you’re actually okay I don’t hate the Pelicans but there’s one thing I really don’t like about this team the bench Pelicans blow up the bench except for Jordan Hawkins he’s really good so if your name
Is not Zion CJ Brandon yonas herb or Jordan or somay trigger tray I need it mixed up and the Pelicans are good don’t get me wrong but with Zion B CJ want two3 punch they should legitimately be contenders and I know some people are going to say that’s a stretch but it’s
Really not these three are all either Elite or on the cusp of elite and when they’re not in the game the Pelicans struggle so it’s time to flip some of those bench pieces I don’t know how we’re for what that’s not my job to figure out City great food yeah Toronto
New York and Dallas Dallas why Dallas why Dallas bro why Dallas bro Dallas is amazing I don’t care what nobody tell you Dallas is amazing I don’t want I don’t want to be there but Dallas is amazing now we got the Dallas Mavericks they have this guy he happens to be
Pretty good I think his name is Luca Don or something you know put up a 73 piece the other night and honestly I love Kobe but I think luuka is going to be the one that breaks Kobe’s 81 sometime in his career he’s still only 24 years old this
Guy’s averaging 34.7 points per game right now that’s along with 10 assist one game he’s just going to have to give up those assist and drop 82 and honestly this is my take for the Mavericks cuz I always say I hate how the Mavericks roster is constructed and if I had Luca
Dones on my team this is the last roster I’m building around him but hey I’m not more Cuban this guy’s an NBA championship so I guess he knows better than I do I played with some great players but when I tell you um the game
Is just so easy to him like I’ve never seen nobody like damn near walk through the game um he plays the same way in practice it’s a skill uh yeah man he’s I I don’t see why he’s not the number one in the running for MVP I just
Don’t I don’t get it because he’s he’s doing it he’s carrying our team you know scoring rebounding assist on a nightly basis now we’re looking at the six teams in the west who wouldn’t have to play playing games if the season ended right now and first up the Phoenix Suns I’m
Going to bring it back to kind of what I did for the Nets for this one but a little different of course the SS have Kevin Durant they have dein Booker Bradley Beal but they have one guy one guy every single team would want and in
Fact I think the other 29 teams in the NBA would trade a lot to have Grayson Allen on their team and if you aren’t in tune with Grayson Allen or the Phoenix Suns this season you’re probably like what are you saying but hear me out he’s maybe the best plug-and-play player in
The entire NBA this season he currently starts for the Suns started all 42 games he’s played this season and in 33 minutes per game he averages 13.2 points 4.1 rebounds 2.8 assist he’s shooting 51% from the field and 50 from three he’s having one of the 10 greatest three
Points shooting seasons of all time and he tries his ass off on defense a player that every single team would want smaller now you settled on his starting lineup but when you go through a couple games where the size is an issue does that even make you want to okay maybe we
Need to start a bigger a bigger three and you think about it but you know I I really like our lineup that we’re starting right now I mean I think Grayson Allen is is the one guy that um you know if you’re going to change to be
Bigger that’s that’s the spot but he’s been so good for us that it’s it’s not even thought on my mind right now even when the offensive boards are just piling up and your style of play on on the opponents okay the Sacramento Kings a team I love and they’re run by
Two people in specific yarra Fox we all know how great he is and Demar sabonis and yes we know how great sabonis is but I don’t think we give him the respect he deserves cuz I think he’s this good if you look at the best erors in the NBA I
Think it goes yic Gap and be a little bit bigger of a gap sabonis and then a huge gap till he gets number four better than bam better than goar I think sabonis is the clear-cut third best center in the NBA and I think he solidified that position for himself
At this point I mean what doesn’t this guy do he’s averaging 203 and eight on 6244 splits although he does only take one three-pointer a game damat sabonis completely controls the pace of each and every single game every night I mean he’s seventh in the NBA an assist per
Game he really is the facilitator for the the Kings usually from the high post and the Kings win games his trade was a massive part of why the kings were able to become a successful franchise after not being the playoffs for like 3,000 straight Seasons shout out to domas and
He’s one of the guys who was selected for the NBA quarterback show that’s going to be dope that is correct and you spoke about dorte and KES but what about having a teammate like JaVale who thought he was going to play today but his number doesn’t get called by the head coach I
Don’t know what the head coach was doing but he just discarded or kick him to the curve I how is he as a teammate you know I had to Cal him down on the bench but uh no he’s uh he’s a professional you know he stays ready um he knows his role
Um he came here to help us um take uh take us the next step you know and uh he’s been a vital part of our uh progress the Los Angeles Clippers the most up and down team basically I can ever remember but recently it’s been up and honestly I like what they’ve been
Doing and if I’m being real I I think they’re the only Western Conference team that can potentially knock off Denver and although I do still have Denver coming out of the West if all goes right for the Clippers they can do it kawi lard is still Elite he’s still a guy you
Want on your team if you want to win basketball games I don’t hear people talk about Paul George anymore they’re still right there with the best duels in the NBA I love what James Harden brought to this team his ability to completely control the offense throughout the game
But the one guy I’m telling you you heard it here first if he gets out he’s going to be able to win the Clippers a playoff series and that’s Norman Powell I think we tend to forget how much of a bucket this guy is 50 45 855 splits you
Can’t leave him open he’s been a lead for the Clippers this year everyone else is kind of in their right spots now that he’s kind of the point guard for sure I mean it makes it a lot easier on Kawai and PG um not to have to handle and make
Every play for themselves or for our team and um you know acquiring James it just makes it so much easier for those guys easy catch and shoot threes um not having to to rely on having to make every play you know like they did in the
Past few years um and so James has just been great like I said he just keeps everybody happy you know gets a couple guys dunks couple guys threes um just playing the right way and making the right play and pick and rooll and so um
Takes a lot of like I said a lot of grind off of PG and kawhai um you know acquiring James so it was huge for us following the Clippers we have the Oklahoma City Thunder the Thunder are definitely a team you do not want to see
In the playoffs and S pry still is a Pokemon collection worth the draft picks to flip if he ever wants to but the main reason the Thunder have been so good this season Shay gild just Alexander and although he’s been great this season I think a lot of casual fans don’t realize
How great he’s been I think that SJ is a top five player in the NBA this season that’s how great he’s been I mean the gu’s averaging 31 points per game six assist he’s shooting 55% from the field he gets to a spot every single play but
We know that the thing a lot of casual fans don’t realize about SGA his defense he’s one of the best defensive point guards in the entire League this season currently he’s the only player in the league who averages over two steals per game averaging 2.2 he’s the edine to the
Oklahoma City Thunder and the Thunder had been extremely good this season and I said this today cuz I saw someone say Paul George over SGA and Paul George is say am I starting the team I’m going like to just go Inn the game if I’m starting the team I have to take sh
Because he younger [ __ ] we just picking a team like we about to go hoop you Paul George bro I’mma take sh I’m taking sh bro right now this George sh C top he top five in the league coie py P different py p is too top five in the
League right now py P Bro top Fe disrespect offensive FL two-way however you want to mix it up smoothest game in the NBA by it’s Shay Shay got the smoothest game in the league bro who got better handle say I like this boy back different Paul
George that guy on the right does not know Ball but now we’re looking at the top two seeds in the Western Conference and the current number two seed the reigning Champions the Denver Nuggets and remember when I said the Celtics have one of the best starting lineups of
The 2020 so far that’s cuz the Nugget starting lineup is even better and in fact Murray kyp mpj Aaron Gordon and yage that’s the best starting lineup since the chem Durant Golden State Warriors and I can stand on that I’ll break it down real quick yic 26 12 and9
59% from the field Gordon 13 1/2 6 and 1/2 54% from the field mpj 16- 7 of 4840 splits kcp 10 points per game of 4538 splits but that’s not even his job he goes the other team’s best player every single night one of the best defensive
Wings in the entire league but then Murray 21 points and 6 and 1/2 assist 48 41 splits there’s absolutely no hold in the starting lineup I I don’t even know how you’d be able to make a case for one this is to me pretty easily one of the
Most complete starting lups I’ve ever been able to watch you got their energy to be up now they’re back in their home surrender and thank you and now the number one seat in the Western Conference and you know why the Minnesota Timberwolves are so good this season their defense and when you think
Of Defense you usually think of one position the big man the center and the Tipper wolves they have the best center Trio I can basically ever remember watching Rudy goar Carl Anthony Towns at NAS Reed Gober the current favorite for Defensive Player of the Year averaging
Two blocks per game right now cat having one of his best seasons 23 and9 on 5244 splits maybe actually he’s the best shooting big man ever like he said although that 62-point game was hilarious he was just chucking but Nas Reed Off the Bench some refer to him as
The greatest player of all time 13 points on 4941 plus he gives you his all on a night to night basis and always pull out a player or two you didn’t know he had in them this is actually one of the most elite Center trios I can ever remember a
Tonight it was the battle amongst the best in the west you guys take sole position of number one in the west how did you get it done in this environment I don’t know I don’t know and I’m going to take the F cuz the refs did not give
Us no calls tonight we had to play through every bump every grab I don’t know I don’t know how we won tonight uh big shout out to my team big shout out to my coach which is for sure I’m not sure how the rest of the season will go
But the beginning of the season has been extremely entertaining so far guys dropping 70 teams on crazy win streaks I don’t know it’s been a great half a season so far and I’m looking forward to what the next 41 games has to bring to us guess I’ll update you guys after the season

Trey is more valuable than CJ and Jonas to me
Steve Ballmer in the background 32:57 had me dying 😭
I guess the hawks defense really ain’t a hot take, but we are ASS on that end
To be fair your guards are usually the least efficient players in the lineup -regarding the hawks, 42% is a tad low tho for a “good shooter”
“Every team would want a healthy Ben Simmons”??
Except a team that needs spacing and scoring, or a team that’s 1 player away from a championship, or a team that needs him to STAY healthy lol
joel is the one thats going to fall off in the playoffs. you just dont win using free throws to that degree.
Thanking god for 1 win in a game with an 82 game season is crazy
16:21 Someone want to explain what I heard during this Brunson interview?? 🤣😁Team mate f'n around w him?
It’s okay, I’ve been saying to blow up Chicago too for years, Coby is the future & Caruso needs a bag
Through. Halfway through the season. Jfc
Didn’t Joel Embid just tear his meniscus?
you’ll have 100k subs in no time – keep it up bro
Suns can beat Nuggets
While I’ll admit that I’m a lifelong Knicks fan, this time has (relatively quietly) snuck their way into being a half game back from the 2 seed in the East with the last couple games being without OG and Randle. Seeing the role players step up confidently gives me so much faith in the possibility of this team making a more confident deeper run than last year. I legitimately look forward to a potential matchup between them and any of the big 3 powerhouses of the East in the playoffs.
Why does sga look like a 2k sga
I never could of predicted sabonis being this good
Nice to hear someone that actually knows ball
Zion in shape could be fun in Dallas ngl
I mean I agree with most of them,but Sabonis better than Adebayo is strange
Pistons won one game and acted like they won the Championship thts the reason why they suck bad they’re content with not having a losing streak and alternating wins and loses is their best achievement
Bro ik I'm in minority but I think Killian Hayes is an nba level player he's just in the worst situation possible he's not a starting level player but he definelty is a good back up pg
That Poole play… Jesus. That would be a bad play in pick up.
@kot4q he said he's sorry
These dead weren’t even hot takes
Just found your channel banger video homie keep it up
Wemby best since blake griffin… except blake didnt play defense, and wemby the the dpoty…
Sabonis as 3rd best Center in the NBA is an extremely hot take, when you consider that you ranked him above Anthony Davis.
Damn, I'd even say it's probably a bit of a hot take to say he's better than Porzingis. Since GSW is listing Draymond at Center (lol), can we even say Sabonis is better than Draymond? Considering that Sabonis is kind of crafted in the mold of Draymond–i.e. a defensive 5 that can also be the anchor of the offense? Draymond is better from the 3, similar on defense if not better and a better passer.
For me, if we're being completely honest with ourselves, Sabonis is good, but he's not a skilled big from an offensive perspective. He's an above average passer and kind of a bruiser. He's just an immaculate fit in his current situation. On many other teams his value goes down, which I can't say about all the other people you rank him over.
That being said–I don't want to take respect off of his name. He's probably a player that could do with shooting a few more shots b/c his efficiency is pretty good recently.
The C’s need to start winning against other top teams.
I’m a life long Boston fan, but the current standings feel empty.
Luka will never win a title with Dallas. I dont see then serious enough to build around him.
The Hornets are actually the worst team in the league this season. Not only are they losing basically every game, a lot of these are blowout losses. Also worth noting, 2 of the Pistons 6 wins this season were against the Hornets. The Hornets currently have the worst net rating of any team in the league at -12.0. The second worst is the Pistons with -9.5. So not only are the Hornets losing, they are getting blown out in a lot of these losses and not even being competitive. I know injuries have made the team worse than they probably should be, but even when LaMelo was healthy, the team was 7-15
Luke warm* takes of every nba team
U lost me at Ben Simmons…
The Pistons one was not a hot take at all.
BI and Zion need to swap diets
Heres a take the warriors should of traded poop for Simmons
As a fan from accross the pond (UK) I really don't get why brunson doesn't get more love. He's easily one of the best in the league, he's just quiet and humble.
Also, jokic top 10 all time right now.
