Speaker 1: The volume. What's up, guys, it's Sloan and this is
Speaker 1: another episode of Slow Notes, except for this time it's
Speaker 1: just me by myself. Yes, I know my nail fell
Speaker 1: off today at school. Please ignore my hand. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be holding the mic really awkwardly. But that's a sorry
Speaker 1: for another day. Okay, let's get started with my MBA
Speaker 1: in season tournament predictions. So when we look at the
Speaker 1: bracket and the West, we have the Thunder which are
Speaker 1: the one seed, and the MAVs, which are the fourth seed.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go with the Thunder for that one.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a given. The Thunder have been
Speaker 1: pretty dominant this season and they're the one seed. They've
Speaker 1: been doing well in the tournament, so I'm going for them.
Speaker 1: Next up, we have the Warriors and the Rockets. You
Speaker 1: guys know, the Warriors could be playing anyone. I would
Speaker 1: pick the Warriors, but I actually believe that the Warriors
Speaker 1: will beat the Rockets in the Ncason Tournament. And here's why.
Speaker 1: The Warriors just beat the Rockets without Steph and without Draymond,
Speaker 1: and I think that that really says something. Jonathan Kminga
Speaker 1: went off. He had his season high career high. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: thirty three points. Andrew Wiggins I believe had twenty six points.
Speaker 1: It's really good to see. I saw something interesting from
Speaker 1: Shams where he said the Warriors are looking for a
Speaker 1: star and that player could be on another team, or
Speaker 1: it could be Jonathan Kaminga, which I thought was cool.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that the Warriors' front office really
Speaker 1: believes that Jonathan Kminga could really be that good and
Speaker 1: he's really starting to show sign So thirty three point game,
Speaker 1: that's what we want to see from JK. We really
Speaker 1: want him to be the second leading scorer after Steph.
Speaker 1: Now let's go to the East. We have the Knicks
Speaker 1: playing the Hawks. I'm definitely going to take the Knicks.
Speaker 1: I think they're rolling. I think any game at MSG,
Speaker 1: especially with a playoff type crowd, that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: win for New York. And yeah, I think the Big
Speaker 1: Bodega is gonna go off. I love that nickname. I
Speaker 1: know no one else picked that up, but I love
Speaker 1: the Big Bodega. I think we should make that a thing.
Speaker 1: All right. Then the last game is the Magic and
Speaker 1: the Bucks. So what's interesting about this one is the
Speaker 1: Bucks or the number one seed in the in season
Speaker 1: tournament in the Magic or the number four seed, but
Speaker 1: in the regular season rankings, the Magic are ranked above
Speaker 1: the Bucks. That's one of the reasons I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Magic. The other reason is since the day Damian
Speaker 1: Lillard was traded to the Bucks, I have never had
Speaker 1: faith in the Bucks defense ever. Pallo he can get
Speaker 1: by them pretty easily, and that's why I'm taking the Magic. Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: I may have some bias here, but like I said,
Speaker 1: the Thunder and the Warriors are gonna make it to
Speaker 1: the semi finals. And you know, I'm in Dubbs gurly.
Speaker 1: I think we've played the Thunder I believe, twice this
Speaker 1: season and we're one and one. But we're gonna make
Speaker 1: it to him one this time. And then with the East,
Speaker 1: I have the Knicks definitely beating the Magic and the
Speaker 1: Warriors winning. It all pretty exciting and that would be cool.
Speaker 1: That'd be good for the NBA. Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: to have the two winners of the n Season Tournament
Speaker 1: last year have been lebron In this season would have
Speaker 1: been Seph Curry. That'd be cool. I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: how that goes, all right, now we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the Rookie of the Month awards. So the two Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Month awards went to Jared McCain and Jalen Wells. Surprisingly,
Speaker 1: Dalton connect did not get the award, and neither did
Speaker 1: Stephen Castle. Jared deserves it through and through. Jalen has
Speaker 1: been great for the Grizzlies this season. But I think
Speaker 1: Dalton got it, especially for this month. I mean this
Speaker 1: month has been his month. This was last month. I
Speaker 1: think that's Jalen's award. But for the month of November,
Speaker 1: Dalton had himself a time. I mean, he was everything
Speaker 1: that he was shooting was going in, which was really
Speaker 1: good to see. I'm sure Lakers fans are happy about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, coming off a forty point blowoff, it's nice
Speaker 1: to see. And Lebron on maybe being on his downfall.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything too much, right but
Speaker 1: Lebron has not had a great month. Seeing a promising
Speaker 1: rookie have a performance performances like that, it's nice to
Speaker 1: see if you're a Lakers fan. All right, So now
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to the slow nose drip ladder.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be shown some league fits outfits and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rank them, so let's get into it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So first off, we got JT with a clean fit.
Speaker 1: I'm loving this. It's a chill fit, it's a cozy fit,
Speaker 1: but it's clean. I think I'm gonna give it an
Speaker 1: eight out of ten. It's not special, but it's green
Speaker 1: like the Celtics. I'm actually I'm a big monochrome person.
Speaker 1: I always wear monochrome sweatsuits to school, so I really
Speaker 1: like that look for Jt' only problem with this outfit,
Speaker 1: which is a really big pet peeve of mine, is
Speaker 1: I hate when I'm wearing a sweater or a sweatshirt
Speaker 1: and like the shirt is showing underneath. But that may
Speaker 1: just be in this photo. But otherwise, eight out of
Speaker 1: ten good fit for JT. Green, Celtics vibes love it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next up, we have a bolt bull bull fit to
Speaker 1: say the least, so we have the white and blue
Speaker 1: Brazil jersey with black leather shorts. So I see he
Speaker 1: did the you know, the sandwich method here because he
Speaker 1: got his jersey matching his shoes and his socks, which
Speaker 1: I like. That's nice, but I definitely would have used
Speaker 1: maybe like a baggy jean or some other vibe. The
Speaker 1: the leather shorts are bold, bold, you know what I'm saying. Okay,
Speaker 1: So for that reason, I'm gonna give this fit a
Speaker 1: six out of ten. I get the vision with the jersey,
Speaker 1: I get the vision with the shoes, and I like
Speaker 1: the shorts. Maybe if he paired it with a nice blazer,
Speaker 1: going back to the monochrome vibe, but not together. That's
Speaker 1: not a look. Wow. Okay, I just got blinded when
Speaker 1: I swiped to this shade fit. All blue is not
Speaker 1: really what I meant by I like monochrome, and I
Speaker 1: love Shay. I love Shay and I love his fits,
Speaker 1: but this is a lot. And what's interesting is that
Speaker 1: the pants are like a different blue than the sweatshirt,
Speaker 1: and the shoes are also a different It's definitely got
Speaker 1: to look to it. It's Shay, he has his aura.
Speaker 1: I do really like the jeans and I liked it
Speaker 1: the sweaters a little crop, but not my favorite fit.
Speaker 1: This is a lot going on anyways, Shae has aura.
Speaker 1: I like his fits, but this one don't love. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give this a seven point five out of ten. Okay.
Speaker 1: JC Jordan Clarkson. I I'm I'm a little confused. I've
Speaker 1: I've not received the I don't I don't understand the
Speaker 1: vision here. I'm gonna give this like a four out
Speaker 1: of ten. And there's just way too much going on.
Speaker 1: He looked. I mean, he makes it work, but there's
Speaker 1: just way too much going on. Wow, louke dor clean
Speaker 1: fit except for this looks like a teenage girl would
Speaker 1: wear it like it looks good on lou but like
Speaker 1: I would wear that, like I would wear that to
Speaker 1: dinner with my friends. I mean, goy r bag dream
Speaker 1: that's my dream, right, A little bomber, a little a
Speaker 1: little tank, a belt and baggy jeans. Who knew lou
Speaker 1: Door had that teenage girl on him? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: He makes this look good. I like this fit a lot, clean, calm,
Speaker 1: nothing too busy. And yeah, I'm gonna get this one
Speaker 1: an eight out of ten as well. That's all for slow,
Speaker 1: no strip. You know this is new. Let me know
Speaker 1: if you like this out in the comet. Now we're
Speaker 1: gonna move on to some exciting news. The Curry brand
Speaker 1: has signed Quincy Oliveri to a shoe deal. So now
Speaker 1: the Curry Brand consists of Steph, Darren Fox, and Quincy.
Speaker 1: It is so cool to see someone live their dream.
Speaker 1: I'm here at seventeen years old. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: living my dream getting to do this, getting to talk
Speaker 1: for you guys and getting the interview NBA players, and
Speaker 1: I know how special that can feel. So I'm so
Speaker 1: happy for Quincy that he gets to do this. You know,
Speaker 1: we all know Steph was his idol. There's pictures of
Speaker 1: him wearing Steph curry Jersey's at such a young age.
Speaker 1: He says he always plays two K with him. To
Speaker 1: now be under his shoe deal must be an incredible feeling.
Speaker 1: So that's really exciting. Now. Quincy's good, he is. We
Speaker 1: saw him really go off in Summer League. But my
Speaker 1: question is he's a two way player right now. He's
Speaker 1: playing games in the G League. So the Curry brand
Speaker 1: really took a gamble on making a shoe deal with him.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money that usually goes to a
Speaker 1: bigger player. But you know what it says to me
Speaker 1: that Steph sees something in Quincy, which is what I
Speaker 1: like to see. He sees future. He sees that Quincy
Speaker 1: isn't just an underdog he can really be that guy,
Speaker 1: which is cool. I like that. I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: more to come for Quincy and the Curry brand. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is random, and I don't know if people will
Speaker 1: relate to this, but I have this thing that wherever
Speaker 1: whenever I go to NBA games, players always stick out
Speaker 1: to me that don't stick out to me on TV,
Speaker 1: meaning there's players that I think that you can really
Speaker 1: only grasp how good they are you're in the arena.
Speaker 1: I was in Miami over Thanksgiving break visiting my grandparents,
Speaker 1: and I went to the Miami Heat Toronto Raptors game.
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes wasn't the player who stuck out to me.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler wasn't the player who stuck out to me
Speaker 1: Tyler hero Bam about no, no, no. It was Yakub Pertle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Yakub Pertle. He stuck out to me. Let me tell you.
Speaker 1: He's been averaging sixteen points eleven boards this season for
Speaker 1: the Raptors, which great numbers in themselves, but watching him play,
Speaker 1: I was blown away. He is the most one of
Speaker 1: the most consistent players I've ever watched in person. He's
Speaker 1: been in the league for about eight nine years now
Speaker 1: and he's still doing his thing. He's unbelievably efficient. I
Speaker 1: believe he shoots around fifty five percent from field goal range,
Speaker 1: which is eighth best in the league. But he rarely
Speaker 1: missed and was so dominant on the boards. He's very underrated,
Speaker 1: and I think that that should be people's new answer
Speaker 1: when they say he's the most underrated player in the league.
Speaker 1: Out yaka Perdle. Yeah, come on, slow Noes, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be It would be a fun time, all right. Lastly,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Phoenix Suns. So the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns are eighteen and nine. Okay, they're eleven and
Speaker 1: two when Kevin Durant plays, and they're one and seven
Speaker 1: when he doesn't. I don't want to make too big
Speaker 1: of a claim, but can Devin Booker and Bradley Beale
Speaker 1: not do by themselves? Do they really need Katie? That
Speaker 1: does say something a little something to me about Devin
Speaker 1: Booker's legacy at this point. He's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a vet. I think he should be able to be
Speaker 1: doing this himself. But it also talks about the longevity
Speaker 1: and consistency of Kevin Durant and shows really how great
Speaker 1: of a player and a score that he is. I've
Speaker 1: always loved Katie and I think that this is a
Speaker 1: really cool thing to see. I'm rooting for him. I'm
Speaker 1: rooting for the Sons to do well. But what's interesting
Speaker 1: is the Sons have depth. Josh so Kog, Grayson Allen,
Speaker 1: they do have depth. So to see that, really, kad
Speaker 1: is that glue guy is interesting. It's like Draymond two
Speaker 1: point zero. You know, Beau Dram wants the number one
Speaker 1: glue guy of all time. Anyway, guys, that was my
Speaker 1: Slow Nose by Myself for today. I hoped you liked
Speaker 1: it and I hope you have fun and you guys
Speaker 1: had any recommendations for what I should do next on
Speaker 1: Slow Nose by Myself or a better name than this one,
Speaker 1: subscribe comment down below. Thanks. Bye,
