Lakers a play in team 🤣🤣🤣 your hilarious bro
I'll come back to this video as soon as wemby locks in his first finals mvp this year
76ers at 6 absolutely not.
The meteor hits.
I truly believe suns got better than last year. Not good, but could be a play in team.
Ah yes, another season where the top ten in the west would all have home court if they played in the east. Can't wait.
DON'T SLEEP ON THE MAVS ⚠️
Gonna come back after Mavs enter the play offs. 🤝
To think that Indiana will finish worse than the bucks is insane 😂😭 I understand that the bucks have a top 3 player in the world but we are way past having 1 crazy good superstar can lead you to the conference finals or even the playoffs in general. Thanasis could get minutes for this squad man. There number 2 and 3 options is Kuzma and Myles Turner.
I really liked the Benn Mathurin take but you lost me on the Shai repeat when Jokic exists and has a competent roster.
Mavs are way better than what u think
Can't wait cone it's good to see you back and the NBA season this coming week thunder ☝🏾
Great predictions video , I have Mavs higher than 9th but nervethless good video

Thumbs down for sports betting sponsor segment 👎
Warriors over Spurs and Lakers is insane.
i don’t think this is a crazy take but i honestly would think Knicks make the finals. I think Evan Mobley could take a jump but I have a really hard time believing in Garlands health
LAKERS ARE TRASH, MAVS ARE FAR BETTER NOW WITH FLAG & DAVIS
Yo make it make sense he’s worried about Brunson and Kat, which makes sense, yet isn’t worried about Mitchell garland defensively who got exposed by Indy same as NY?
Man you don’t watch the bucks, they literally only have gotten better from last year and you ranked them lower than they played last year, mind you they had a better record WITHOUT Damian Lillard last year, and kpj’s per 36 numbers were all star caliber, you also obviously don’t give a shit about the pre-season when you made the rankings because the pistons lost against Milwaukee without Giannis when they played 😂. Not only that but Milwaukee won the season series last year, and ranking PHILLY over Milwaukee is disgraceful to say the least.
As a Celtics fan, I appreciate your optimism. Jaylen is now struggling with a recurring injury so I think we’re gonna be right down the bottom below the play in
Bro HATES the Heat 🤣🤣
Here are my season predictions
Most Improved Player: Ben Mathurin
Defensive Player of the Year: Dyson Daniels

1. Knicks
2. Cavs
3. Hawks
4. Pistons

Raptors will finish top 6
14 suns???!!! PAKING SHET!!!
If the Knicks get to a Game 7 in MSG with the chance to go back to the finals, there is a ZERO percent chance they lose Cavs in 6 is a 100x more realistic than in 7
the East is such a bad conference, its honestly sad
