28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: the last time I saw a Task, which was a

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: week ago. Physically he's standing, he's walking around, His speech

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: and communication drastically better. We talked about the blue jay sucking,

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: We kicked the we kicked the talked a little bit

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,760

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: work to do when it comes to fully rehabbing. But

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: one pm Eastern, we will be recapping last night's episode,

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: episode two, and it was a doozy. It was a

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: great episode. I thought this was like ten times better

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: than the first episode. So I'll break it down with TK,

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: with JD and our guy Esh helping us produce that one.

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: At least I think he is.

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: He's coming out okay, great, but that's later today to

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: this no Dungspod. We got a fun NBA angle that

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: our guy TK came up with.

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, big trade last week's Skeinz. You hear about it.

60
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: I did, Damian Lillard, he's on the Milwaukee Bucks.

61
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: Now.

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: Got people talking about the best duos in the NBA,

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: So we went through and picked out duos for every

64
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: team in the NBA, and we're gonna rank all of

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: them here alphabetically. I suppose, how do you organize things

66
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: when you're organizing an entire league? Do you do it alphabetically?

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: Because I always end up doing it alphabetically by conference

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: by conference?

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Okay, conference, Well, we got a lot of duos to

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: rank here. We're gonna fire up the tear maker. So

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: are we doing Eastern Conference teams first, take a break

72
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to the West.

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's how we're gonna do it. Because when

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: I anytime I'm getting ready to do an entire league

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: wide thing, I just go to Basketball Reference and sort alphabetically. Yeah,

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: kind of like all of them are in the Eastern Conference.

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: We got to get like a team out in Albuquerque,

78
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: New Mexico, just so that they can compete Hawks. You

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. It's like we got a lot

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: of Eastern Conference teams first before we finally get to

81
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks. Nonetheless, we are going to be ranking

82
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: the duos alphabetically by conference, Eastern Conference first, because of

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: time zones. I would say, keep in mind for this

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: ranking skates for this season. We're talking about heading into

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: this season, So there are some younger duos here who

86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: if you look at it, five years from now. This

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: is the duo you want, right compared to some teams

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: who are probably in their prime right now. You can

89
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: consider past success, you can project a little into the future.

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: But I would say, like twelve months from now, and

91
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, Skats, but if you've won

92
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: a championship together, that puts you pretty far ahead in

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: my book.

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, And you, for the most part, had final

95
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: say on the actual duos selected. We had a little

96
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: back and forth with some of the teams in our

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: slack channel.

98
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: A couple controversial duos, but you had.

99
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: The final say, and I think that'll be half the

100
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: fun here. All right, Well, we got a lot of

101
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: teams here to rank.

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: Let's get to it first. One. We're starting here alphabetically

103
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: first and for in our city, the Atlanta Hawks, pretty

104
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: easy to do. Have a pick here, Trey Young and

105
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: Dejonte Murray. They played one season together, went to the

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: playoffs and did not win in the playoffs. But what

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: are you think about year two? We're gonna rank these

108
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: on the tier maker, SA, B, C, and D. Where

109
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: do you see the Hawks?

110
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: I'll say, right now, right from the jump here, I

111
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: feel like there might be a lot of placing a

112
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: duo's and then as we get to other duos and

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: other teams, we might have to do some reshuffling. Sure,

114
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I agree because like

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: my gut, right now, they're not S tier.

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: No no, no no, and I and.

117
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I hesitate to put them in the A tier, but

118
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure until we look at all

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: thirty duos. So right now, I would say put them

120
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: in the B tier.

121
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: I would have to agree. They're a tentative B tier

122
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: right now. I mean, they're both all star level players

123
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: but didn't make the game last year. Should they be

124
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: better in their second year together? I would think so.

125
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: I think that like in a perfect world, in a

126
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: perfect Hawks season, they end up on the A tier.

127
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 3: I don't think you're putting them at the top the

128
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: pops with like I mean, surely we'll have Jokich and

129
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: Murray getting to the S tier or something like that.

130
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't think they're on that level. But you can

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: foresee a world where there are two Hawks All stars

132
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: and it's Dejahn, Murray and Trey Young. So tentatively we're

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: gonna go with the B tire.

134
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: And how much do you care when it comes to

135
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: duos of like the players, like I guess the best

136
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: way to put it like complimenting each other. So a

137
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: small and a big, or an offensive guy and a

138
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: defensive guy, Like, do you care at all about that?

139
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: You take it into consideration.

140
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I take it into consideration. I would like

141
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: them to compliment each other like they're like you're saying,

142
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't want them taken away from each other. But

143
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: does it have to be as small and a big No,

144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Does it have to be all

145
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: offense or one of each I don't think so. As

146
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: long as they make sense together.

147
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Okay, And I will keep my eye on the stream

148
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: team here again, shout out to everybody joining us live

149
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: on YouTube. A lot of people seem to be agreeing

150
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: with a B. Some votes for a C, but let's

151
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: go with that.

152
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, Trey Jung is gonna go down as one

153
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: of the more underrated players heading into the season if

154
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: we get to that kind of question. So I'm not

155
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: surprised to hear some people talking about the Seeds here.

156
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: But we're going to B to start things off, and

157
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: we're going with B for our second team here. The

158
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: Boston Celtics. This is a team who has had a

159
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: duo together for quite some time. Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown,

160
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: both reigning All NBA ers. Yeah, which is pretty cool.

161
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: They've made the finals once together, four conference finals together.

162
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: They've played their entire careers, you know, basically since Tatum

163
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: showed up. So this to me is at the very

164
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: least A tier.

165
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: It's a or are we putting them in the S tier?

166
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: And the only reason we wouldn't be putting them there

167
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: is because they don't have a championship.

168
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: They don't have a championship, But I do think they're

169
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: one of the best duos in the game. So it's a.

170
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: Let's go A right now, Let's go A right now.

171
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: I think put them in the A tier until we

172
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: start seeing what the S tier is really looking like here.

173
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: And I mean, I'm not going to do this intentionally, skeets,

174
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: but it would be nice to look at our final

175
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: tier and have a bit of a bell curve here

176
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: right where you're like, not a lot in the S,

177
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: not a lot in the D.

178
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

179
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see how the S and the D

180
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: go here. Okay, the Brooklyn Nets. This is one of

181
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: our tougher picks for a duo here because we locked

182
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: in Michale Bridges. We knew that one right away. But

183
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: then I sent to you skeets question mark, question mark,

184
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: question mark, who was the second player in the duo

185
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: with Michale Bridges. You said, Ben Simmons.

186
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I think it's Ben Simmons. I do, and I know

187
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: that's a controversial take, but I'm also ready to like

188
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: plant my flag on Ben Simmons Island.

189
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: You're in, I'm gone.

190
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I have gone. I don't know if I was ever

191
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: on the island, but I have made my way to

192
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: the Ben Simmons Island. I believe, God damn.

193
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: It, you believe Ben hit ten straight free throws? Oh yeah,

194
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: looking nice?

195
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I believe in him being a competent player.

196
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I actually believe in him playing and maybe being healthy

197
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: with the back issue. I mean, will he be an

198
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: All Star again? I don't know, but he's going to

199
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: be an above average player this year, and I think

200
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: he would be the partner to put with mckail Bridges.

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: But you went with we went.

202
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: With Cam Johnson. But it's not like there's a graphic

203
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: or anything.

204
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: No, that's true.

205
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: You know, if you want to slot him in, I'm

206
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: happy to sub in at Simmons here. I only went

207
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: with McHale Bridges and Cam Johnson cause like they call

208
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: each other twin. You know, they've been together for a

209
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: long time, coming over from Phoenix. They made the finals together.

210
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: Weird to say U Nkale and Cam they played together

211
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: on Team USA. But I mean, certainly Ben Simmons is

212
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: the news here. Name you as a lot of in skeets.

213
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Well, I got rap Stallion saying my Ben Simmons island

214
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: is under ten feet of water right now, so okay,

215
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: I can swim, I can tread water for a little bit. Yeah.

216
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I was going to say, taking Ben Simmons, let's say

217
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: off this hypothetical duel and replacing with Cam Johnson or

218
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: vice versa, does it really change anything?

219
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: Probably not.

220
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: It probably doesn't. So let's go with Cam. Let's go

221
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: with the twins mkil Bridges and Cam Johnson. May. I

222
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: love mckil bridges, but this feels in the landscape of

223
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: the NBA probably like a C.

224
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree. I think that you would probably like

225
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: to upgrade your number one in the option here being

226
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: Michale Bridges. We're gonna see a lot of superstar number

227
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: one options. He's a great player, but he's not quite

228
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: superstar level. And then if he is the number two,

229
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: he replaces a Cam Johnson. So I'm with you. I

230
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: think this is a c tire right now.

231
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like a type thing.

232
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe just an extra credit. Yeah yeah, raised

233
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: that grade. Write an essay about the impact of Barclay

234
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: Center in the Brooklyn Borough or something like that. Our

235
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: next duo the Zach Lavine and Demart Rosen in the

236
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls. You ever heard of them? They're both all stars.

237
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: They made the playoffs together, they made the play in together.

238
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: It hasn't necessarily gone well after that, but these are

239
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: two all star level talents here skeets.

240
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are. I wish it was DeRozan and DeRozan's

241
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: daughter as the due Damar and d Are. Yeah, okay

242
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: this I mean again, it's it's probably be I think

243
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: so too. Yeah, yeah, like you're taking this duel over

244
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Mckillbridges and Cam John's Oh definitely.

245
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean, both of these can be all

246
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: stars in any given season. Damorrow has been an All

247
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: star of the past two seasons. Levine was an All

248
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: Star the two previous seasons. They had that one year

249
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: of crossover where they both made it. But they're all

250
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: much like the Atlanta Hawks. To me, it's like, if

251
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: things go perfectly, they both make the All Star team

252
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: and you're like a sixth seed.

253
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's weird. Though, after I said I would

254
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: take the Bulls due over the nets, do I mean

255
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: the flip side of that is, I think I would

256
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: prefer mckill Bridges as the one player I would have

257
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: at this current point of their careers.

258
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: No way, any team. Yeah, deroze it.

259
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean I love the defense that I get

260
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: from the Kellber's okay, but.

261
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: Keil Bridge just plays the defense. And Zach Lavine is

262
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: crazy underrated. His percentages were incredible last year the second

263
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: half of the season once he came back twenty seven

264
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: a game on like forty fifty, forty ninety almost is ballin'. Okay,

265
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: So they're they're there with the Hawks. Oh yeah, I

266
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: think they're there with the Hawks. That makes sense. Surely

267
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: the Raptors will somehow get in there as well. Here's

268
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,599
Speaker 3: one that's confusing to me. Cho for Charlotte Hornets should be.

269
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: But I think it's a remnant of the Bobcats era

270
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: that it's an oh on basketball references out of the

271
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: a Really Yeah, that's that's my theory. Anyways, this is

272
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: one of the few duos that has not played a

273
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: game yet together, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller their number

274
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: two draft pick, the rookie.

275
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. This was also like, who do you go with

276
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: as the second guy?

277
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

278
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I mean, you go, Terry Rozier has

279
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: been there a while, You go, Gordon Hayward's haircut.

280
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's gets highly paid, it gets you

281
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: got a player back this year who scored a lot

282
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: of points, but I don't want him on our duo list,

283
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: if I'm being quite honest.

284
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so LaMelo.

285
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: And Brandon Miller are the guys I'm excited to at

286
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 3: least see him play together.

287
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I think Zach Low has an article up

288
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: on ESPN having LaMelo as one of like the sort

289
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: of key players to this season. Yep, but I've got

290
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: them low here on our list. We don't even know

291
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: what to expect from the rook.

292
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: We don't know what to expect from the rook LaMelo

293
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: was hurt a lot last season at thirty something games.

294
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to upset the Hornets fans, all eight

295
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: of them out there, but I think this has to

296
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: be a D duo.

297
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: We got to put him in the D. I think

298
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: for now, somebody's gonna have to be in the D two,

299
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: and unfortunately for Chris Littman, apparently it's gonna be the

300
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: Charlotte Hornets.

301
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: Well lights out there on that one.

302
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a very somber tone we had to

303
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: take for the Charlotte Hornets, and that's okay. They're in

304
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: the D tier and we're back here. Moving on to

305
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was another one where you're locking

306
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: in Donovan Mitchell as the first part of the duo,

307
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: and then I sent you a question mark. So we

308
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: had three choices basically Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jared Allen.

309
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: I think Jared Allen probably comes in third there. But

310
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: you're talking about is it gonna be a mix of

311
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: offense and defense complimenting each other or not. We end

312
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: up going with Mitchell and Garland.

313
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean an all star level guy. Yeah, in Garland.

314
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: I find this one very difficult. It's probably wow, man,

315
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't know it. I can be convinced it's AB

316
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: or C, but I'll probably just go to the middle.

317
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Then I guess I think you're right. I think it

318
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: goes in the middle, and you're right. It could go

319
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: either way. Like a great season, they could both make

320
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: the All Star team. They could both end up eight tier.

321
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I think they both went over fifty plus in the

322
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: game last year. We said that on our predictions podcast,

323
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: right that Garland did it, and we know Mitchell went

324
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: for seventy one. So yeah, I'm happy, hoppy happy sloting

325
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: them in here as a B tier duo. But like

326
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: if I was looking here, if we were gonna sort

327
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: within the tiers, I would probably have them ahead of

328
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the Bulls.

329
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: I think I like that and the Hawks.

330
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Okay, well I like that little rinko. We're gonna sort

331
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: with you.

332
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: Why guys, why not? We love sorting and ranking.

333
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: Didn't know that was even an option on this tear maker.

334
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: Very cool.

335
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

336
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Another inexperienced duo coming in here, the Detroit Pistons Caid

337
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: Cunningham and Jade and Ivy. They played eleven games together

338
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: last season, so they're basically. I mean it'll be Caid's

339
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: third season, but this is basically year two for both

340
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: of these guys together.

341
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Holy man, I mean, it's your D.

342
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: It is it's D. It's gotta be D. They're prohibitively

343
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: in D tier right now. But I mean Caid was

344
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: apparently really great in practices against Team USA, which sounded

345
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: in rest of until you saw a Team USA play

346
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: against good competition. So I don't know where to put him.

347
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: I'll put him ahead. You have to put horns though,

348
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: for sure.

349
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think he got to do that.

350
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: There we go.

351
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well a lot of people in the stream team.

352
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of ce's for the Pistons there, so

353
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: maybe we have.

354
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: A lot of c's for the Pistons.

355
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. Why, I mean, I think the idea of

356
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: kid having a higher ceiling than some of these other guys.

357
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: The Lamillo was an All Star.

358
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: Kate does have a high ceiling, but he hasn't really

359
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: scratched it yet.

360
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: No, No, I mean a lot of this is because

361
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: he hasn't played. But hopefully, like you said, all those

362
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: those summer workouts against the Team USA, everybody's like talking

363
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: them up like, this guy's a star. If he plays,

364
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: I believe you will be. So this should be, you know,

365
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: hopefully up higher.

366
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: I guess there could be another guy in the duo too,

367
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: like Duran could be the guy. Yeah, great, great chemistry together,

368
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: but Ivy seems like the choice for right now. Moving

369
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: on to the Pacers, Tyre's Halliburton Miles Turner. This was

370
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: another question mark for you, Miles Turner as the guy,

371
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: but it makes sense. He's an established player.

372
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: It's like, who else would you go. It's a little

373
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: too early to go Benedict Math Math and I think

374
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: it's you can't really go buddy because he might be traded.

375
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: He might not, you know, obi Toppins there now, but

376
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: you're not putting him on a dual list. So yeah,

377
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: it's it's Turner, And you know, I like this one.

378
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: You got obviously the guy that leads basically the league

379
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: in where it does lead the league in a well

380
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: okay hard and technically led the league assist but you

381
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Halliburton will be at the top

382
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: of the list, and then you've got a defensive minded

383
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: guy in Turner's still good at that position. Uh. I

384
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: hate to keep saying it, but it feels be to me.

385
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I feel like you want to maybe go lower? Am

386
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: I crazy?

387
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: I would have him on the lower end of the

388
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 3: beach here, but I think they're there there. Could they

389
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: could easily have two category leaders like Halliburton could lead

390
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: the league and assists. Turner could lead the lead in blocks.

391
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: They pair pretty well together. Yeah, last season they played

392
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: forty eight games together, twenty six and twenty two. A

393
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: bit of a surprise team, catching people off guard, I think,

394
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: But still that was successful. And they do seem to

395
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: compliment each other. And basically as soon as Tyre's Halliburton

396
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: started balling out, the Pacers were like, maybe we shouldn't

397
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: actually trade Miles Toono.

398
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

399
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tried to trade himself once.

400
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: That's a good point. I tried to get himself through

401
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers.

402
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: I would trade for me.

403
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm gonna go low B in our tier rankings. Okay, yeah, okay, yeah.

404
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: And Turner never an All Star, right, Halliburton one time

405
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: All Star last season, just signed that big deal. I

406
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: don't think Turner has made an All Star team.

407
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm high on the Pacers going into the season. Oh, definitely, Yeah,

408
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: so I think this is like, you know, clouding my

409
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: judgment a little bit here. There's a lot of bes

410
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: and c's in the stream team for this. I like

411
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: that squad which seems right a lot of like low b's,

412
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: like B minuses maybe C pluses.

413
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: Interesting one here, perhaps our first S tier duo, the

414
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: Miami Heats Jimmy Butler and Bam Auto Baio. Oh wow,

415
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler does have his haircut immediately after media day. Uh, basically,

416
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: so feel free to factor that into your calculation. Skeets

417
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: two finals together, three conference finals together. They were basically

418
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: one shot from making three finals in four years? Is

419
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: that good enough for them to be an S tier team?

420
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: Are they a better duo than Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum?

421
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: I mean, results would say yes. They do beat the

422
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 3: Celtics a lot except for that one.

423
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: Hear if you line those two doos up and you

424
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: had the start of a franchise in Plano, Illinois, and

425
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: you said, hey, pick which duo you want right now?

426
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: Because you said not pat like we're trying to like

427
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: sort of you know, this season, which one would you take?

428
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: You would take Bam and Butler over over the Jays.

429
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: I would. I would for this season. For this season.

430
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: I mean, when you're looking at the teams, obviously, the

431
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: Celtics are a far deeper team, but I don't know.

432
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's tough to in the regular season. I

433
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: think it's the Celtics. The Celtics are going to be

434
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: better than the Heat, but the Heat got that mental toughness. Man.

435
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: They got those atrocious Heat culture jerseys, but it says

436
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 3: it on the chest because that's how they play.

437
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I think, oh yeah, those jerseys bad.

438
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: Oh they're bad. I'm glad those ones are so bad

439
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: that people aren't noticing how bad the Bulls are.

440
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly anything yet. I mean the Raptors, the gold

441
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: ones suck too. What's going on? They have given up

442
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: over there.

443
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: Stop making new.

444
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: Jerseys if you have no other good ideas for jerseys.

445
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: Heat cultures garbage looking. I'm an eightier though, eightier with

446
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: the Heat.

447
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: All right, I haven't gotten over the hump yet.

448
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're easy guy, EASSy, Okay now what okay,

449
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: it feels like you will Yeah, okay, look, hey, you

450
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: got final controls here, you got the Heat there above

451
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: the Celtics right now. But they're both in the same tier.

452
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, those are good duos, what can you say?

453
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: And they both I think compliment each other well, but

454
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: in different ways. You know, you got the big and

455
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 3: the small, or at least the big in the wing

456
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: with the heat and a couple of highly sought after

457
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 3: wings in the Celtics. This one, I think is a

458
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: lock for our first s tier duo Jannisantachakumpo Damian Lillard.

459
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: They're both raining all NBA ors, but not together. They're

460
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: the only duo in the league where both guys averaged

461
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: thirty last year. Obviously, they didn't play together zero games together,

462
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: which is kind of funny, but man fourteen combined all

463
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: stars and all NBA selections between these two, this is

464
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: an easy s.

465
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: Two top seventy guys. Yeah. I mean, the only thing

466
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of this is like we just haven't.

467
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: Seen them play together, but exactly right.

468
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: By all accounts coming out of camp, they're pretty pumped,

469
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: they're pretty excited.

470
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's no like question marks. Offensively, at least,

471
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: you're like they're gonna fit perfect feed together, especially with

472
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 3: the other guys that the Bucks have around them. It's

473
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: not like when you got like Wade and Lebron together

474
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: where you're like, Okay, one guy's gonna have to handle

475
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: the ball a lot more and one guy's gonna have

476
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: to take a back seat. You're just like, okay, just

477
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 3: go cook. So I think easy s tre for then

478
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 3: or for the Milwaukee Bucks. Please let's call them freak time,

479
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: freak time, freak time baby.

480
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: Okay, as no problem there.

481
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: All right, here's an interesting duo skeets the New York Knicks,

482
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson and Julius Randall. That's tough call. They were

483
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: thirty eight and twenty eight together. Last season. They were

484
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: six and four together in the playoffs. Even though it

485
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: felt like a disappointing ending to the next season, they

486
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: did upset the Calves. And you know, we talked about

487
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: both Brunson and Randall had really good cases to make

488
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: All Stars the season. They both had really good cases

489
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: to make All NBA at the end of the year.

490
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure where to fall here. I mean, they're

491
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: they're not a A tier, no if they're not or A,

492
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 3: but I think they're probably a B tire they are.

493
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 1: I know, we got a lot of duos there right now,

494
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: but they have to be in that tier with the Calves,

495
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the Hawks, the Bulls, the Pacers, and they're probably ahead

496
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: of a couple of them, at least the Pacers.

497
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, I would have to.

498
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: I mean, they get like on for some reason, but

499
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: they are really really good. And uh, you know, I'm

500
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: a huge Bruntson fan. And you know Randall Luck He's

501
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: had a really good year, then had a really bad year,

502
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: and had really solid year again.

503
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: Like exactly, he had a huge bounce back year last year.

504
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: So two seasons ago he was giving thumbs down to

505
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: the Knicks fans and then he was like balling out

506
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 3: all NBA once again. Crazy stuff.

507
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are sort of all over the map here,

508
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: some solid bs, some low bs, some c's. People want

509
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: to say they're a D tier, which I think is

510
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: not fair. Come come on.

511
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, B, I'm happy with B. This is an

512
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: interesting one. I think the Orlando Magic Pala ban Caro

513
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: and Franz Wagner. They've played seventy one games together. Obviously,

514
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: Polo won Rookie of the Year last year, Franz balled

515
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: out in the World Cup for Germany this past summer.

516
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: They just haven't played a lot together. I think if

517
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: we're talking about this duo. Three years from now, they're

518
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: probably an E tier team. Yes, I'm gonna start the

519
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: bidding at a SEA tier here.

520
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, see sea minimum minimum, Sea minimum. I think people

521
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: are going to want to put them even up a

522
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: higher tier because of the potential potential. But maybe we don't.

523
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: We're getting ahead of ourselves a little bit there. Then again,

524
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: would I rather have coming into this season Polo and

525
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Franz more than let's say, Halliburton and Turner.

526
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: It's possible, It's very Possible's definitely possible.

527
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: But let's go see right now.

528
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go see right now.

529
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: We look, we can massage this, we can move things

530
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: around once we like, zoom out and see the whole picture.

531
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: What do you think compared to the Brooklyn Nets?

532
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Oh wow? Is it controversial for me to say I'd

533
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: have them as a duo above the Nets.

534
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you, I'm totally with you. I think both

535
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: of these I think Franz and Paolo could be number

536
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: one options on teams. Maybe Franz is more like a

537
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: one point five, which is where he kind of will

538
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 3: be for the Magic. Another weird one, skeets Joel Embiid

539
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: and Tyrese Maxi are our duo for the Philadelphia Noel Harden.

540
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: I thought you were team Harden.

541
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 3: I am Team Harden. I am Team Harden. We did

542
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 3: make the duos before Harden showed up at training camp,

543
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: and I gotta say, skeets, he was looking good. I

544
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: might be back. I might be back. I just need

545
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: to see one picture of James Harden looking in shape

546
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 3: at a training camp to be convinced he's gonna be good.

547
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: He let the leaget assesssed last year and there was

548
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: no fat suit to be seen. That's not sure but

549
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: drama but yeah, but still it's like we're hearing like

550
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to play with this team. I don't

551
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: want to play for dyl Moury.

552
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 3: So we're going Maxie. I was surprised to see that

553
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: Embiid and Maxie have played one hundred and eighty four

554
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: games together. It's like the sixth most games that Embiid

555
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: has played with any teammate. Really, yeah, I mean Maxi

556
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: plays quite often, and these have been the healthiest years

557
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: of Embiid's career, so it makes sense. But that's surprising

558
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 3: me to see that they've already played together so often. Obviously,

559
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: Embide is the reigning MVP, so I mean that puts

560
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 3: this duo pretty high on the list. Yeah, where do

561
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: you start, though, I would start A and beats in

562
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: it beats the MVP. I mean, it didn't end well

563
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. You know, he didn't really do much

564
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: in Games six and seven against the Celtics, so they

565
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: got to be behind the Celtics duo. To me, but

566
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: EMBIID is so good and Maxi is already a good

567
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: player and can take another leap forward that I'm happy

568
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 3: with them being our lowest ranked eighteen ranked.

569
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Eighteen Okay, okay, yeah, I mean you can be all

570
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: here a case for a B if No, I mean

571
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: it's it's the Maxi part of this, of course, It's

572
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: less to do with EMBIID. It's it's, you know, we're

573
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: to have a like look at the other teams above

574
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: them or with them. I mean, these are other all star,

575
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: all NBA level guys with the main number one guy

576
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: and that's Max He's just not there yet, but I

577
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: mean you know he could be. So it's it's it's

578
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: low A or it's B. We got a lot in

579
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: the B right now. Let's let's put him at the end.

580
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: Of a Yeah, we got him at a low a

581
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: right now.

582
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: Somebody did say, I think it was Spooney, said MAXI

583
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: and embiid Monster NBA Jam team.

584
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: They would be a great NBA Jam team and he

585
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: it would be one of the best guys I think

586
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: in NBA Jam.

587
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so high, Yeah exactly.

588
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 3: I was playing last night at Savage Pizza NBA Jam.

589
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 3: Really game? What a game? Then?

590
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Would you?

591
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: Uh?

592
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: What was your team?

593
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 4: Well?

594
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: I botched it here, skeets. I picked the Phoenix Suns.

595
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 3: Great choice, Yeah, Barkley Marley, but I picked second player,

596
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: so I had to be Dan Marley the whole time. Yeah,

597
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: I thought so too. Well, I didn't have the timing

598
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: down and the first time I shot a three, he

599
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: shot it left handed. I was like, what he switched

600
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: hands at some.

601
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: Point Maybe you put in an accidental code or that's

602
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: what happened.

603
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, you know, after one quarter I switched

604
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: the Turtles in time solid duo there as well.

605
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a good game there.

606
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: Who do you think the duo would be for the

607
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: Ninja Turtles.

608
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: Thought it would absolutely be Donna Tello, the true leader

609
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: of the Turtles. It's not Leonardo, but I would go

610
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: Leonardo as well. I think that is Leo and Dona Tello. Baby.

611
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the key duo when it comes to the Turtles,

612
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: and you gotta give a shout out to their coach,

613
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: Master Splinter.

614
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: Oh yes, all right.

615
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: Moving on to actual teams, the Toronto Raptors, here's your

616
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: duo this season, Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes. Would have

617
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: been Siakam and Van Vliet any other prior season. But

618
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: Siacaman Barnes, where are you at with the skeets.

619
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: That's a bee.

620
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: That's a b job.

621
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: It's a be. It's a b and no, it has

622
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: to be Scam takes it to a bee. I almost said, see.

623
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: But I think the respect that he deserves, the level

624
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: that he does plan, he's really really good. So and

625
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: and Scotty Barnes a very disappointing sophomore season. You're gonna

626
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: hope for a different change, new obviously coached, new offensive philosophy.

627
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like he is gonna have a chance out

628
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: of the Ballimore. So, I think this is a bee,

629
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: but I probably near the lower end of the bee.

630
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: I think this is a bee right now. So Come

631
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: is still like an All NBA player and can still

632
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: get to that level maybe you know, like probably third

633
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: team maybe second team at the most. And Barnes You're

634
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: just hoping he's more like he was in his rookie

635
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: year and empowered a little bit here to be a playmaker.

636
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: So I'm happy throwing Wow.

637
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Hold on, I mean, a lot of people saying B

638
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: for bias here, be for bias. A lot of c's

639
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: being thrown around in the chat that maybe.

640
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: It was a it was a tough barn season here too.

641
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: That's the thing. That's the thing. If this is after

642
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: the rookie season, people are having no problem with this

643
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: particular tier B for the rapt.

644
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: But it is, I mean, he was bias.

645
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, B for bias. They're at the bottom. Everybody relaxed.

646
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: See that comes incredible. You don't even watch Raptors teams.

647
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: You guys don't even know Homer Homer, Holy yeah, yeah, yeah.

648
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: B for bias. It's pretty funny. It's come up for

649
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: the rest of the season. That's a B for bias,

650
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: all right. Uh, the Washington Wizards, this is an S

651
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 3: tier duo entertainment wise, for me, Kyle Kuzman, Jordan Poole.

652
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's who it would be. Wow.

653
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: Hey they both got titles. Man, they both got titles.

654
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Zero game winners played together exactly, championship pedigree.

655
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: Ah mean it feels like a seed to me.

656
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: This has gotta be see. Yeah, yeah, this has gotta

657
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: be see. But I can't wait to see them on

658
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: the court together. They you know, they they just had

659
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: media day. They do that. They like the TikTok thing

660
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: where it's two guys looking into the camera and it's

661
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: got like a category at the top and you're supposed

662
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: to move your head one way or the other, like

663
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: who's the better playmaker, who's the better handles, who's the

664
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: better passer? And they both picked themselves for like every

665
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: single one. That was sick. It was so funny, Like

666
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: every time it's like who's the better score? Like me,

667
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 3: who's the better handles? Me, who's the better playmaker? That's me.

668
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: I wait to see these guys. Yeah, it was so funny.

669
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: They were like X for every single one. Great stuff

670
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: Kuzman pool. So yeah, they're in the seats here. Now,

671
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: what do you think compared to the Magic of the

672
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 3: and the nets below. I mean, yeah, honestly, probably sofortunate.

673
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Yah, I think so. I think so. So let's see

674
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference JD. Throw it back up there if

675
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: you don't mind, because we got fifteen more teams to go.

676
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: That's the end of the East. But how do we

677
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: feel overall?

678
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 3: It looks like a bell curve. I'll say that, Yeah,

679
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: the results looks solid.

680
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: We've nailed that part.

681
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 3: And I do think that. You know, the one that

682
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: sticks out to me is the seventy six ers being

683
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: in the eightier but they have Embiid. Embiid is carrying

684
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: right there, and I mean that's probably where the line

685
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: is between Embiid Maxie and Mitchell Garland. Like, that's a

686
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: tough call.

687
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out by the end of

688
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: this which team will be the highest in terms of

689
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: their ranking to probably their actual record and how their

690
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: team does, because I mean, you could have an elite

691
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: duo or really good duo and still be a pretty

692
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: pispoor team. But I wonder who that'll be because, like

693
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, it feels like the

694
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: duos are matching sort of. How we the Yeah, total

695
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: actual squads, which makes sense. Yeah, but I guess if

696
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: you're like looking specifically records wise, it's unlikely that the

697
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: Heat would have the second best record in the Eastern

698
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: Conference at the end of the season. They finished with

699
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: the seventh best record at the end of it last year, right,

700
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and then they ended up being the eight seed after.

701
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: The play in tournament went down. But we're definitely given

702
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: the Heat a postseason bump on the duo's list here,

703
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: But that's our Eastern Conference. We're going to take a

704
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 3: quick break here and we come back. We'll rank all

705
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: the duos in the Western Conference, all.

706
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Right, Still here in the Classic Factory ranking the NBA's

707
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: best duos. We've done the Eastern Conference. We got fifty

708
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: teams in the West to do TK. You said it

709
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: off the top Dallas alphabetically, the first Western Conference team

710
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: took to the d's to get there.

711
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Skeets. Apparently this may be our answer for

712
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: the team with the highest ranking duo, but maybe not

713
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: the record to follow along with it. Luka Dantets and

714
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving got together right at the end of last season,

715
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: tanked away the end of the year, finished with thirty

716
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: eight wins. But we're talking about two guys who are

717
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: four time All NBA. The Kyrie's last All NBA appearance

718
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: was in twenty twenty one. So were you slotting in

719
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: the MAVs.

720
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: I think it's an A tier for me. I can't

721
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: go to the S tier. No way, I can't go

722
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: that high. But yeah, E tier, and yeah, I think

723
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: this might. I saw people in the stream team saying

724
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: this is probably the squad. Well, we don't know. I mean,

725
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: they had a very disappointing end of the season last year.

726
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: They sort of tanked it away at the end. Keep

727
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: their picking all that. But will they be flirting with

728
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: a play in again? Will they be better? It doesn't

729
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: really matter to this experiment. This is a great duo,

730
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: it really is. I mean, of course, offensively, so I

731
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: think a tier.

732
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is an A tier duo as well.

733
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: I think the hope for the MAVs is their team

734
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: is better this year. They've got just pieces that make

735
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: more sense around this duo. But also Luca and Kyrie.

736
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: Remember when they got together last year, they kept coming

737
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: up short in the clutch because it was like your turn,

738
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: my turn, your turn, mitern they hadn't really had a

739
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: chance to build any sort of chemistry and make each

740
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: other better. So they gotta have to They're gonna have

741
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: to figure something out to get the best out of

742
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: both of these. I do have them a little bit

743
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: ahead of the seventy six ers, I think in terms

744
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 3: of duos. Yeah, if you're like just looking in right now,

745
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: I would I would have a heat Celtics MAVs sixers. Okay,

746
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean that's a that's a tough duo

747
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 3: to beat Kyrie and Luka Dancic at least a scoring wise.

748
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm good with that one.

749
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: Interesting one for you here skeets NICOLEA. Jokic and Jamal

750
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: Murray the Denver Nuggets. No All Star appearances for one

751
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: of the guys, and then the others got like every

752
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 3: single accolade you could possibly hope to have. They won

753
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 3: the title together this very calendar year. They're thirty two

754
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: and twenty in the playoffs together. That's incredible, man.

755
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean it's an easy this is an easy ass.

756
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the question is are you putting them ahead

757
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: of Joannis and Dame?

758
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, look, didn't didn't Jokic and Murray both go

759
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: for thirty and ten in the finals. Like averaging thirty

760
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 3: and ten.

761
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, don't worry about Jamal Murray having never made

762
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: an All Star game. Who cares. There's a champ and

763
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: the guy delivers in you know, you know we we

764
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: all we do is talk up how Jimmy Butler takes

765
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: it to the next level in the playoffs. Jamal Butler

766
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: doesn't Jamal Butler, Jamal Murray does the same thing. So, uh,

767
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: it's s tier. And you put them ahead of Damon Giannis. Wow,

768
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: I saw you slip that over.

769
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: A quick slip. I mean it's it's tough. I mean, yok,

770
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: It's probably like a half step ahead of Giannis right now,

771
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: at least in the general reputation world out there. I

772
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: think you would say that Lillard is significantly ahead of

773
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray at least accomplishments wise and kind of his

774
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: standing in the league. But like you're saying, we've seen

775
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: Murray go Damian Lillard mode once it comes to the playoffs,

776
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 3: he just plays it a little cooler during the regular Let's.

777
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: Show them the respect they deserve, Let's keep them there.

778
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: That's right. I think so too, especially because we.

779
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: Haven't seen we haven't seen Dame and play together too, exactly.

780
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: There is that exact equation. So yeah, they're both S tiers,

781
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: Nuggets and Bucks.

782
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: This is a former guaranteed S tier duo. I don't

783
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: know they're where they're going to come in this season.

784
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 3: The Golden State Warriors. Warriors Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

785
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: We went with as the other part of the duo here.

786
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: I guess you could go Klay Thompson, but Draymond is

787
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 3: certainly more of a Warriors figurehead. I think so, Stephan Draymond.

788
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: Where you got these guys right now?

789
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: Well, are you taking into consideration Draymond's injury here, it's

790
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna be out four to six weeks, four to six weeks,

791
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: might miss the start of the season.

792
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, we got some other guys who are going to

793
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: be missing the send of the season here, So not

794
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 3: for me.

795
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: Well, you said it, this was, you know, a guaranteed

796
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Locke S tier duo. What is it still there? Is

797
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: it still at that level? I don't think so. I

798
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: think it's a I think they're with those other squads,

799
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: the Heat, the Celtics, you know, the Sixers, a couple others.

800
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: I think they're in that level. They're probably near the

801
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: top of it. And that's just because of Steph Curry

802
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, so that's my I think they're a

803
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I think they're A plus, but not s T here.

804
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: I like it. A plus is exactly right. So we'll

805
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 3: have them as our lead duo right now. I think

806
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference I would have them.

807
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

808
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: Guess, uh stuff is so good that I think it's

809
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: got to be ahead of the heat.

810
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, yes, they have to lead the A tier.

811
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: If we don't have them in the Y, that's okay,

812
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: A plus tier. Nice. I like that. Another fresh duo

813
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 3: coming at his skeets, Fred Van Bleet and Jalen Green

814
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: of the Houston Rockets zero games together. They almost play

815
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 3: the same position. You have to imagine that Fred is

816
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 3: going to be imparting some veteran wisdom to Jalen Green

817
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: and say, hey man, you can pass the ball occasionally.

818
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: Feel free to work some guys in here.

819
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to be lower on our list here.

820
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 3: It's c r D.

821
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cr D. Oh boy, oh boy, throw it

822
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: up JD. I need to see the other duos we've

823
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: got there, Thank you. Like Van Vleet All Star last season,

824
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: right was he?

825
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: I think he was All Star last season? Wow? Did

826
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 3: he make it last I think didn't he make All

827
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: Star and make All me? Or no? Maybe Siaka made also.

828
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: I don't know he's a racing All Star.

829
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'm fine with see are they high?

830
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: Deer lit? C is where I'm gonna got a lot

831
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: of d's, A lot of d's in the stream team.

832
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 3: I would take him ahead of the Pistons. The infleete

833
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: is still good. I mean, he's still a good player,

834
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: and I think he will help the Rockets. And I

835
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: don't know. I still believe in Jalen Green. I still

836
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: think he's got skills. I let's put him D though,

837
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: top of the D.

838
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, plus top of the D. Top of the D two,

839
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: tip of the D.

840
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 3: Easy, Okay. The Los Angeles Clippers Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

841
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: They have been together for four seasons and played one

842
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: hundred and forty six total games together. This is an

843
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 3: impossible duo to rank.

844
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: Say that either A D. They've been together four seasons

845
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: and they've played one hundred and forty sixty six games together. Yeah, yeah,

846
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: where do you put this stupid duel? I mean they're elite,

847
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: elite when they play.

848
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 3: They're both off something when they play.

849
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tole the B maybe, I know, I want

850
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: to put them in BES. That's sort of where I feel.

851
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: And I think top of the b's is right.

852
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did too, because I mean, like when kah

853
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: isaid his best, You're like, that guy's the best player

854
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Yeah, You're never sure if he's going

855
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: to be there. Paul George, you know, is an All

856
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 3: NBA caliber player still to this day, but he's just

857
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 3: as unreliable as Kawhi. So I think, yeah, we got

858
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: to give him a high B. I do believe.

859
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: I think somebody said it well here in the chat

860
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: Captain Jazz theoretical S actual B.

861
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Theoretical S. Right, there's another theoretical S

862
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: duo and maybe an actual S duo Lebron James and

863
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers. They've played one

864
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty eight games together and they've got a

865
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 3: title together.

866
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: So what are you putting them at the end of

867
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: the S here, end of the S. Yeah, I think

868
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: it's either high A or low S.

869
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I think I think I'm happy end

870
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 3: of the S because it's kind of weird. It's like,

871
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: both of these guys, Lebron and a D. I think

872
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: any single game they can look like the absolute best

873
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: player in the entire NBA. But you're not getting that

874
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: every single game from either of those guys. So I mean,

875
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: is this another theoretical S actual A I don't know.

876
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it comes down to we know what we're getting

877
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: from Lebron. I don't care how many years he's in.

878
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: We know what we're getting. It's the Anthony Davis and

879
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, you hear like KG and you hear these

880
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: guys and all their podcasts like this is the year

881
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: that Anthony Davis the year pass to take over and

882
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: be the MVP that we know we can be and

883
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: actually sort of carry a Lebron team for once. And

884
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: I believe all of that, and I think he can

885
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: do that, but that's just could he ever stay healthy

886
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: and just string together a full season is the issue.

887
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: But I like, I like sort of where we have them.

888
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: And of the S tier and I yes, yeah, I

889
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: got them a little bit behind the box of the Nuggets.

890
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I actually got them more than a little.

891
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, Yeah, so like somewhere in between an S

892
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: M and A yeah S minus not a thing. Memphis

893
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: Grizzlies John Morant, Jaron Jackson Junior. Obviously joh will not

894
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: be playing the first twenty five games of this season

895
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: when they play together. Fifty nine percent winning percentage John

896
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: Morant and Jaron Jackson Junior. But that's in the regular season.

897
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: In the playoffs, only forty three percent of games are

898
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: they winning. But I mean John Morant, multiple time All Star,

899
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: Jaron Jackson also an All Star, reigning Defensive Player of

900
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 3: the Year. Where do you think these guys are at?

901
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: Well, they're a lot better than some of the B

902
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: duos we have. Yes, it's just whether or not we're

903
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: talking ourselves into the eight here in my opinion, because

904
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: of John missing twenty five games. Yeah, I mean that's

905
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: gonna hurt.

906
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: That does hurt missing a third of the season.

907
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, b for bad decisions in the street team. I

908
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: don't mind it. I don't mind it. I think that's

909
00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: where I have.

910
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: The I think you're top of the bee is good

911
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 3: to me as well, because, yeah, at their best, I

912
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: think they're an eight tier.

913
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: Oh, you have him ahead of Kawhi and Paul George.

914
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: I don't know.

915
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think because he's missing twenty five though,

916
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: I would bump Memphis behind the Clips, but I like

917
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: the games.

918
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: Well you're right, right, all right, okay, okay, yeah, I'll

919
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: put them behind just because I think at their best,

920
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: Kauai is ahead of both of them.

921
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: Okay, we like that, all right.

922
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: Our next duo, the only duo that shares a name really,

923
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 3: Carl Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timber. Yeah,

924
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: Jason and Jalen, you were close, but not close enough.

925
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: Right, right, right? Yeah, this is a difficult one. These

926
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: are two great, great players.

927
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

928
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, maybe a disappointing your last year. Cat

929
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: missed a ton of it, though, Anthony Edwards took a leap,

930
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: took a jump up all star status. Saw what you

931
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: do with Team USA. Couldn't beat the Canadians. But whatever,

932
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: where you go, man, they're in the B mix.

933
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: I hate I think they're saying mix as well. Well,

934
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: that's how it should be, a lot of bees. I

935
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: think I I think I probably have them ahead of

936
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers though.

937
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say right around there, and

938
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: I think that's right. I think that's where they slot in.

939
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all right, right, a solid upper beer, upper

940
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: B level team. I mean it's not out of the

941
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: realm of possibility that, like both of them average twenty

942
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: five a game.

943
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: Of course not Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

944
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: I was encourage seing Cat play over the summer as well,

945
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: like he seems energized and ready for the season. And

946
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: since they'll actually have a training camp to be together,

947
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: maybe they take a little bump up here. I can

948
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: see them scratching at the A tier if things go perfect.

949
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. We need to show them this and say, hey,

950
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: you're a B duo and they have to use it

951
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: for motivation and try and get up a level. And

952
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: they can and they should. But I like where we

953
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: got them there.

954
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. You see the clip of Anthony Edwards saying that

955
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 3: if Rudio bearschut's a three pointer, he's gonna walk off

956
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: the court.

957
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 1: Did see that?

958
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: That's why Rudy didn't make our duo list. Here New

959
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 3: Orleans Pelicans Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. They've played ninety

960
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 3: three games together. Despite being on the same team for

961
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: quite some time. One game under five hundred in those times.

962
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 3: This is a theoretical eight year team, of course.

963
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: But we're not putting them there, no way, no. So

964
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: it's it's high SEI or it's low B. It has

965
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: to be yeah, until we're proven wrong.

966
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 3: I mean, they were still a play and team last year,

967
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: right like, they made the play ins and it got

968
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, but that was without Zion. So I

969
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 3: think I probably have them.

970
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 4: Kind of in the Knicks range as a duo here,

971
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 4: just with the uncertainty of who's going to be on

972
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 4: the court together since you know, I mean like Ingram

973
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 4: hasn't been an iron man for the Pelicans by any

974
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 4: means either, So I'm happy with.

975
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: A low B. Yeah, it's somewhere around there, like you're

976
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: gonna take Are you gonna take Trey and de Jonte

977
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: Murray over Zion and Brandon Ingram. That's like, it's a

978
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: weird thing that does seem weird. Doesn't that seem weird?

979
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: I think? But the Hawks maybe play a little high

980
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 3: in the beach here right now. They do play.

981
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind where you have them though, but yeah,

982
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel like we have the Pelicans sort of behind

983
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: the Calves. The Hawks, the Bulls, the Knicks. It's like,

984
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: could you convince yourself and move them up and move

985
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: them down a little bit in that beat here? Sure,

986
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: but let's let's put them there be for baby Cakes

987
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: as swish.

988
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: Like perfect, tell you that's exactly what we needed. I

989
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: thought it was B for bias. I guess it's baby

990
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 3: Cakes as well. The Oklahoma City Thunder and get your

991
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: B for bias ready here, because it's shake Gilles Alexander

992
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: and Josh Giddy. You went with Giddy?

993
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: Well, this was tough to pick. Who's the second man

994
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: with sg A? I mean, is it j Dub? Is

995
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: it is it chet played? I think it is Giddy

996
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: that you put for the duo's like if you're making

997
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: NBA jam, I think that's sort of the duo they

998
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: would go with.

999
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: I think right now, I think if we do this

1000
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 3: again next year, it'll be Shay and chet Chet.

1001
00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and again. I love JDub, So, uh,

1002
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: where are you putting it? Oh my goodness, I think there.

1003
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: Will be I think there a be two probably like

1004
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 3: in the Knicks, Pelicans, Raptors range. I mean, Shay is

1005
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: an all NBA guy, Top five m VP kind of candidate,

1006
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: so that that does bump them up. Yeah, he's if

1007
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: you're looking at the players and the B tier, it's

1008
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: like Kawhi, Paul, George, jaw Mitchell, and then Shaye like

1009
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: he's in the mix for the best player in that range.

1010
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: I think I have them right in the middle there.

1011
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: I have them above the Hawks, all right. Yeah, I

1012
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: could almost be convinced to go higher. But of course

1013
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: I love SGA, so that that seems right. You know,

1014
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: I'll slow it down.

1015
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: He's gonna be an interesting, giddy season. That's a He's

1016
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 3: an interesting guy to watch.

1017
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: I will say, a lot of people pointing out, maybe

1018
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: do we need to drop the pacers down to a TIERC?

1019
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 3: Dropping them down to the top of Tier C? Yeah,

1020
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: oh man, that hurts our first emotion.

1021
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean just throwing. We don't need to do it

1022
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: right this second, but you know, maybe keep it in mind.

1023
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 3: You're right, it's the more they're hanging around here and

1024
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 3: getting pushed further and further to the right, it's it's

1025
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: looking like they might have to drop down, at least

1026
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 3: for aesthetics purposes.

1027
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: How many teams we got left?

1028
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 3: We won two, three, four, five teams less including the

1029
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Devin and Kevin

1030
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: not the same name, but they rhyme. They only played

1031
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: eight regular season games together last year eleven playoff games together.

1032
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 3: This is an S Tier team, though.

1033
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: You gotta think, Yeah, I mean, didn't they have a

1034
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: pretty damn good record when they did play and then

1035
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: they lost to the games they took two games off them. Yeah,

1036
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: solely because you watch how about duos? Solely because of them. Yeah,

1037
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: that's the only reason they won two games.

1038
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, that's a great they have. They score

1039
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 3: like eighty a game, and those two wins they got

1040
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 3: so easily an S Tier team, I got ahead of

1041
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: the Lakers. Where do you put them against the Bucks?

1042
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1043
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: I think that's okay. I think that's okay. Okay, we

1044
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: have them for the podcast listeners right now. In the

1045
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: S Tier it goes Denver, Milwaukee, Phoenix, and then the Lakers.

1046
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: So we have four teams in the S Tier and

1047
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: the Warriors, as we said, sort of like the top

1048
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: of the A tier. And then right now Heat, Celtics,

1049
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: Maths and Sixers.

1050
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, another fresh duo coming at just Scoot

1051
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 3: Henderson and Anthony Simons of the Portland Trail Blazers obviously

1052
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 3: zero games together, as Scoot was just picked number three

1053
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: by the Blazers. Simons has been around in Portland for

1054
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 3: a little bit here and it's had a couple of

1055
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 3: really nice scoring seasons, though the Blazers haven't had very

1056
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 3: much team success.

1057
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: Well, we're starting low, they're going probably, they're probably going

1058
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: and C. They could be going in D. I could

1059
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: be even talked into that.

1060
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 3: I think they got to be a D tier team

1061
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 3: just because we haven't seen scoop play yet. I think

1062
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 3: that they could easily end the season as a C

1063
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: tier team, you know, just like the Orlando Magic. We're

1064
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 3: saying as a C tier team because we saw Polo

1065
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 3: go out and look awesome, win Rookie of the Year,

1066
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 3: scored twenty a game. I think if we see that

1067
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: from Scoot and I think if we see some chemistry

1068
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 3: with Simons, this would be a fun team to pick.

1069
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 3: If you're playing NBA jam Scoot and Simons.

1070
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: There is a lot, like a lot of people in

1071
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: the stream team saying like maybe we have the duo

1072
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: wrong here too, right, Like could it be Simon's and

1073
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: Naytan Scoot and naytan Uh, Simons and Grant, Scoot and Grant,

1074
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: like you could make some you know, you could go

1075
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: with any of those duos, and we don't really know

1076
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: how they're gonna work outside of obviously Simons and Grant

1077
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: having played together. So a lot of people, though, are

1078
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: thinking quite low. A lot of d's out there.

1079
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 3: A lot of d's out there, A lot of d's.

1080
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: Not a lot of females watching our show.

1081
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 3: No way, really, Yeah, that's crazy. Well, let's talk about

1082
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 3: Sacks then, the Sacermento Kings and their due off Aaron

1083
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 3: dearon Fox and demonte Sabonis raining all NBA rs. Not

1084
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: a lot of teams that have no all NBA players,

1085
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 3: but the Sacramento Kings do. Is that good enough for

1086
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 3: an eight tier team?

1087
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: It absolutely is talking about complimenting each other, for sure.

1088
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: There's that part. There's the small and big, there is

1089
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: the all NBA level. I mean, they've they were they

1090
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: proved last year that they were one of the elite

1091
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: players at their positions, both guys. And it wasn't even

1092
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: a stretch. It wasn't like, oh yeah, no, everyone's like no,

1093
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: they're they're all NBA. This year. They're an eightier. It's

1094
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: just where we put them. You know, they're They're not

1095
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: above the Tatum and Brown duo. They're not above a

1096
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Bam.

1097
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 3: But would you rather have Fox and some bonus the

1098
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 3: Fox and the Ox, remember that was the thing for

1099
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 3: a week. Would you rather have them or would you

1100
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,959
Speaker 3: rather have embiad in Maxie? That's the question.

1101
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: Wow, that's difficult. I think I would rather have Fox

1102
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: and Ox than you know, embiid in MAXI I'm not

1103
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: as high on Maxie as some people are, but uh,

1104
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm okay with them being at the end

1105
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: of the eight tier. The Kings, That's totally fine. I

1106
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: think it's right there. They're you know, look, I think

1107
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: I think the case is to be made. The Secramento

1108
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: could be like the leaders of our second group in

1109
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: you know, so I have Warriors, Heat, Celtics Boom, there

1110
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: are the top of our antier, and then I get

1111
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: into these MAVs, Sixers, Kings, and I like, you know,

1112
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: I think you can move them around, but let's keep

1113
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: them at the bottom.

1114
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Sabonos struggled a little bit in the playoffs,

1115
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 3: which was also the case when he was a pacer

1116
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 3: as well. But I mean regular season. These guys are

1117
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: awesome and they definitely make each other better, which I

1118
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 3: think is good for their duo ranking. Got another fresh

1119
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 3: duo forre skeets. One we disagreed on here, the San

1120
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 3: Antonio Spurs. We got Victor Webbinyama locked in. The question

1121
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 3: Mark was for the second part of the duo, you

1122
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: thought Calden Johnson, but I went Devin Vessel and then

1123
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: he got a bag dropped on him.

1124
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: This is true. This is one of our debates in slack.

1125
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: Trey said, who are we going with Webanyama? I guess

1126
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: the sell, and I was like, kel Johnson. Manny scored

1127
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty two a game. These guys gets overlooked. He's pretty

1128
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 1: similar in age to Devin Miscellet. He's one year older.

1129
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: But right after it happened, and right after you had

1130
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: the final saying, you went, no, we're going Devin vecella

1131
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: guy gets the bag. That's okay. They're low anyway, so

1132
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. D T. They're probably d Yeah.

1133
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 3: I think I would have them ahead of I don't

1134
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 3: know who's better, Devin the Seller Anthony Simon's that's a

1135
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 3: question I've never thought of in my life.

1136
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: That's why. I mean, like, it really just depends how

1137
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: much you think is gonna ball out. Yeah, I've got them.

1138
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man, oh man. Yeah, put them. I

1139
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: put them behind those Blazers.

1140
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know.

1141
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to just see it. We have to

1142
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: see it. I'm sorry, Yeah, exactly.

1143
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting to see with web Benyam. But like,

1144
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be one of the best defensive

1145
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 3: players in the league right away. But he's also going

1146
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: to be very tall and skinny, which is gonna be

1147
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: tough for scoring. He'll kind of feast as a garbage man,

1148
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 3: I think, But I think the offense will take a

1149
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 3: little bit more time.

1150
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: And then, how do you feel about Devon the Hill even?

1151
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean we are talking duos here, are talking to

1152
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: Guy's a three and D guy. Don't get me wrong,

1153
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: He's going to get better. He's in the right system.

1154
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: But I also don't like, is this guy going to

1155
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: be an All NBA player?

1156
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so. I don't think they have a

1157
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 3: second All NBA player on their team right now. And

1158
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 3: you know, Kelvin Johnson did outscore them. I think it

1159
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: was like twenty two to twenty or something like that.

1160
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 3: But this is going to be their first season for

1161
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 3: both of those guys looking like a real competitive team

1162
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 3: that's kind of put together as trying to build something

1163
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 3: going forward. So we'll have a better idea at the

1164
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: end of this year.

1165
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: I think I'll say the stream team a lot of

1166
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: low SE's maybe top of the DS. We've got them,

1167
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: maybe lower than people like. But what do you do

1168
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: about you know, sorry, we got control of the computer.

1169
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll drop the link. You can make your

1170
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: own tiers. Yeah, share with us. Let's see your duos.

1171
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: We got our last duo here, the Utah Jazz Lowry,

1172
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 3: Markinen Jordan Clarkson. Both scored over twenty of games, twenty

1173
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 3: five for Market and twenty for Clarkson last season.

1174
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: I go immediately to near the top of the sea tier.

1175
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.

1176
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: So That's where I'm at with them, And that might

1177
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: feel disrespectful. I don't mean it to be, but they're

1178
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: because they feel a lot better than those other teams

1179
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: and they're in their tier. There the magic, the nets,

1180
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: the whiz but ye okay, yeah, see, okay, top of

1181
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:08,479
Speaker 1: the seat tier for the Jazz.

1182
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's good, especially like you look at

1183
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 3: the four teams that we have in there now and

1184
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 3: are we going to adjust the Pacers in I don't know,

1185
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 3: but those are all teams that, like, if their duos

1186
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 3: are playing well, you're probably in the play in tournament.

1187
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 3: You know, if you're having a really successful season, Pacers, Jazz, Magic, Nets,

1188
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 3: Wizards would be battling for a play in birth. I

1189
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 3: do believe.

1190
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: So there it is all thirty teams duos, I should say,

1191
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 1: if you're just joining us, this is us ranking duos,

1192
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: not the entire team and not the depth and the

1193
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: coaching and all that, just the duos. And we had

1194
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: some debates about who were the two players for some

1195
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: of the teams. But I will read it for the

1196
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: podcast listeners right now, and then we can tweak if

1197
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: we want to S Tier, Nuggets, Bucks, Suns, Lakers, A Tier,

1198
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: the Warriors at the top of the A tier. Then

1199
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: we have the Heat and we got the Celtics, the MAVs,

1200
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: the Sixers, and we went with Maxie instead of Harden

1201
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: with Juel Embiid, and then we got the Fox and

1202
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: the ox Kings. There at the end of the eight tier.

1203
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: In the bech here we got a lot. We got

1204
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers, obviously Kawhi and Paul George. Theoretically we agreed

1205
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: should be yesked here, but you got to play. We've

1206
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: got the Grizzlies there. We got the Timberwolves, we got

1207
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: the Calves, we got the thunder the Hawks, the Bulls,

1208
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks, the Pels, the Raps and the Pacers. A

1209
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are in the be tier. C tier.

1210
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: Jazz lead the way with Lowry, Markinen and Clarkson. Then

1211
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: we got the Magic, we got the Nets, and we

1212
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: did go with Cam Johnson instead of Ben Simmons. And

1213
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 1: we got the Wizards there and they're gonna be a

1214
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: hilarious team, so we're excited to watch them. And then

1215
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: the D tier. Right now, it's Rockets, it's Blazers, it's

1216
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: Spurs with Wemby, it's Pistons, and it's Hornets. So is

1217
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: there anything you want to move around or you were like,

1218
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: hold on, now that I see them all, maybe one

1219
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: of those earlier teams we ranked we had wrong, we

1220
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,919
Speaker 1: had too high or too low.

1221
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, I basically just think that the Hornets shouldn't have

1222
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 3: worst duo in the league interesting when you're looking at

1223
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 3: established players in the D tier, it's Fred van Vliet,

1224
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 3: Anthony Simons, Devin Vessel. The Pistons don't really have an

1225
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 3: established player, I would say so. I think Lamello. Lamello

1226
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 3: at the very least has the Hornets ahead of the Pistons.

1227
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 3: To me, what a nitpick. Let me let me change

1228
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 3: up here from twenty nine to thirty sets.

1229
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: Okay, just to off the Pistons like that. Okay, so

1230
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: people are saying the number one things people are pointing out, Yeah,

1231
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: maybe too many teams in B tier. Do we drop

1232
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: a couple of those teams at the bottom of it

1233
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: to the top of the pace. Yeah, yeah, Pacers to

1234
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: the top of the Sea Tier.

1235
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 3: I can I can see the you.

1236
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: Can see the reasoning in that. Yeah.

1237
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 3: I mean we've seen a great Halliburton season for sure,

1238
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 3: and Miles Turner is a really good defensive player, but

1239
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 3: they also were trying to move him for like multiple seasons,

1240
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 3: and you could definitely get other centers on the same

1241
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 3: caliber as Miles Turner, I think.

1242
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: And then there's you know, some talk about where we

1243
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: have the Celtics as a duel, they could go higher. Yeah,

1244
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of that, you know, you know, do

1245
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: we should we have them up above the Heat? At

1246
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: least some people trying to make the case they're an

1247
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: S tier, which I get I understand because we are

1248
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: just talking duos here. They're damn good.

1249
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I like it.

1250
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind this.

1251
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 3: I definitely do think you could make a case for Warriors,

1252
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: Heat and Celtics bumping up to S tire because they've

1253
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 3: all had a lot of success together, right like, they've

1254
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 3: all had six thane periods of being a great duo together.

1255
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: But I'm happy with them being in the A tier

1256
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 3: right now because they are definitely questions, I think.

1257
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: And if you had to move one more team from

1258
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: the B tier down to the top of the Sea Tier,

1259
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: like with sort of the Pacers, who would you go.

1260
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: Would you immediately go Raptors because we haven't at the end,

1261
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: or would you go Zion and the Pelicans because you

1262
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: know we can't play that much one of the other teams.

1263
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 3: Zion and the Pelicans is a little questionable to me,

1264
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 3: just because you know, we bumped Kawhi and Paul George

1265
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 3: and John Morant down to the Bechier because of reliability concerns,

1266
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 3: and that's definitely the case with the Pelicans and then

1267
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 3: the Knicks. I think can kind of vacillate between B

1268
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 3: and C depending on what kind of a year we

1269
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 3: get from Julius Randall.

1270
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of talk of like

1271
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: after the Calves almost you can move a lot of

1272
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: those teams down to the sea tier. And I get it. Yeah,

1273
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: but I like having a big middle finger there in

1274
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: the beach here.

1275
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 3: It looks nice. Actually it's perfect. So we're going with

1276
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 3: this again.

1277
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: This is just duos. This is the top two that

1278
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: we've determined on each team. And I think for the

1279
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: most part, I'm happy with this.

1280
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 3: I think it looks good, all right, Yeah, I think

1281
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 3: it looks nice. Print it, save it and download it.

1282
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: Save download, printed at Kinko's, frame it, hang it behind us,

1283
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: and then we can always look at it throughout the scenes.

1284
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh to like get one of those like or just

1285
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: make the magnets like a draft board, like yeah, every day,

1286
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: no dunks. We could be like going up something that

1287
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: we need to look into that like some like little

1288
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: felt things or something, some magnets.

1289
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: We should do that with teams. I think that like that.

1290
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 3: That's a good way I track power rankings throughout the

1291
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 3: season we have.

1292
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: We could have power rankings by the minute.

1293
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 3: Make a change.

1294
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you make a great point about the Dallas

1295
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: Mavericks and the depth they showed last night, and they're

1296
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: went over the pels and we're like, oh gee, let's

1297
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: let's move them up.

1298
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: All right, we gotta get a whiteboard.

1299
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can get sidetracked a little bit with that,

1300
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: but that's something to look into. Okay, we're gonna call

1301
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: it there. Those are our duo rankings. I love, love
