Watch the video on 1.25x speed to save your time
11:31–11:35 Easy. The Pistons will just feed Duren or Jenkins and watch them shit on the competition.
Put your money where your mouth is and take the Hawks over the Cavs lol
Clippers I would have agreed with but they're backup center is injured for a year and the back up to the backup is also injured in Yanic and Jackson respectively.
The KD made them worse convo is unfair. Did we forget they lost their championship winning starting point guard before the season started?
23:21 Pritchard is probably the best bench player in the league and Vuc will arguably be the best Bench Center if he returns close to his Chicago Form.
Hawks aren’t upset potential. They WILL beat the Cavs and possibly even the pistons depending on cades health.
Why is bro going back to the lakers game Look at them 6 in a row beating NYK and warriors in there 6 game streak I don’t see Some teams over rockets while rockets Have playoff experience and they way there playing
the 2 losses to the lakers nobody on the rockets could shoot the ball to save they life not his fault
2:06 put the blazers in this tier
Detroit lol
D Fox nearly gave me a headache in that OT game with Denver. Our chip depends on Wemby Stephon and Vassel
You’re just wrong the Celtics have the deepest and most well rounded bench in the entire league. And you’ll see that very soon
The shoeston rockets 7:10
DEN is tier 5. They are too injured. Same banged up situation as last year.
Pretty spot on list here, I'm from okc and a Thunder fan. It's pretty equally scary for us to match up against Celtics, SAS, and Nuggets, with Nuggets being probably the most scary to me just because they have that playoff gear they can flip that switch and win which is hard to stop. SAS may have that gear as well but we just haven't seen it so i don't know for sure. Celtics have a higher floor i think but a lower ceiling then the other two and i believe Thunder are exceptionally good at making series adjustments which i think gives them maybe a slight edge over Celtics, just my opinion. Of course anyone can have injuries or bad games to totally flip the script, we'll see
Luka is using something to make him come back faster
Boston’s depth is better than you think.
OKC repeating this year.
If I’m the spurs I do not want to be playing the nuggets in the second round.
Trippin on atl
You can’t knock the Nuggets season without mentioning injuries dude. Their top 3 have only shared the floor 23 times! Gordon missed 44 games. He’s a crucial piece.
22:55 also the Celtics have one of the highest paid rosters in the NBA
Don't agree that the Celtic's bench is inferior the Thunder or the Spurs.
