WEBVTT - NBA Cup Predictions: Thunder-Warriors, Magic-Knicks, Steph & Dubs winning it all?

0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>The volume. What's up, guys, it's Sloan and this is

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>another episode of Slow Notes, except for this time it's

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>just me by myself. Yes, I know my nail fell

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>off today at school. Please ignore my hand. I'm gonna

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>be holding the mic really awkwardly. But that's a sorry

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>for another day. Okay, let's get started with my MBA

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>in season tournament predictions. So when we look at the

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>bracket and the West, we have the Thunder which are

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the one seed, and the MAVs, which are the fourth seed.

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna go with the Thunder for that one.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's a given. The Thunder have been

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty dominant this season and they're the one seed. They've

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>been doing well in the tournament, so I'm going for them.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Next up, we have the Warriors and the Rockets. You

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>guys know, the Warriors could be playing anyone. I would

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>pick the Warriors, but I actually believe that the Warriors

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>will beat the Rockets in the Ncason Tournament. And here's why.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>The Warriors just beat the Rockets without Steph and without Draymond,

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that really says something. Jonathan Kminga

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>went off. He had his season high career high. Excuse me,

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty three points. Andrew Wiggins I believe had twenty six points.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>It's really good to see. I saw something interesting from

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Shams where he said the Warriors are looking for a

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>star and that player could be on another team, or

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it could be Jonathan Kaminga, which I thought was cool.

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's interesting that the Warriors' front office really

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>believes that Jonathan Kminga could really be that good and

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>he's really starting to show sign So thirty three point game,

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what we want to see from JK. We really

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>want him to be the second leading scorer after Steph.

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Now let's go to the East. We have the Knicks

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>playing the Hawks. I'm definitely going to take the Knicks.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they're rolling. I think any game at MSG,

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>especially with a playoff type crowd, that's gonna be a

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>win for New York. And yeah, I think the Big

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Bodega is gonna go off. I love that nickname. I

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>know no one else picked that up, but I love

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the Big Bodega. I think we should make that a thing.

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>All right. Then the last game is the Magic and

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks. So what's interesting about this one is the

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Bucks or the number one seed in the in season

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>tournament in the Magic or the number four seed, but

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>in the regular season rankings, the Magic are ranked above

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.359
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks. That's one of the reasons I'm gonna take

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the Magic. The other reason is since the day Damian

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Lillard was traded to the Bucks, I have never had

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>faith in the Bucks defense ever. Pallo he can get

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>by them pretty easily, and that's why I'm taking the Magic. Okay, sorry,

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I may have some bias here, but like I said,

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Thunder and the Warriors are gonna make it to

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the semi finals. And you know, I'm in Dubbs gurly.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we've played the Thunder I believe, twice this

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>season and we're one and one. But we're gonna make

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it to him one this time. And then with the East,

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I have the Knicks definitely beating the Magic and the

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Warriors winning. It all pretty exciting and that would be cool.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>That'd be good for the NBA. Let me tell you,

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to have the two winners of the n Season Tournament

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>last year have been lebron In this season would have

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>been Seph Curry. That'd be cool. I'm excited to see

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>how that goes, all right, now we're gonna talk about

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the Rookie of the Month awards. So the two Rookie

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Month awards went to Jared McCain and Jalen Wells. Surprisingly,

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Dalton connect did not get the award, and neither did

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Castle. Jared deserves it through and through. Jalen has

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been great for the Grizzlies this season. But I think

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Dalton got it, especially for this month. I mean this

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>month has been his month. This was last month. I

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>think that's Jalen's award. But for the month of November,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Dalton had himself a time. I mean, he was everything

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.119
<v Speaker 1>that he was shooting was going in, which was really

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>good to see. I'm sure Lakers fans are happy about that.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, coming off a forty point blowoff, it's nice

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>to see. And Lebron on maybe being on his downfall.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say anything too much, right but

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Lebron has not had a great month. Seeing a promising

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>rookie have a performance performances like that, it's nice to

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>see if you're a Lakers fan. All right, So now

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna move on to the slow nose drip ladder.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna be shown some league fits outfits and

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna rank them, so let's get into it. Okay,

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>So first off, we got JT with a clean fit.

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving this. It's a chill fit, it's a cozy fit,

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's clean. I think I'm gonna give it an

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>eight out of ten. It's not special, but it's green

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like the Celtics. I'm actually I'm a big monochrome person.

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I always wear monochrome sweatsuits to school, so I really

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>like that look for Jt' only problem with this outfit,

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a really big pet peeve of mine, is

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I hate when I'm wearing a sweater or a sweatshirt

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and like the shirt is showing underneath. But that may

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>just be in this photo. But otherwise, eight out of

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>ten good fit for JT. Green, Celtics vibes love it. Okay.

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Next up, we have a bolt bull bull fit to

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>say the least, so we have the white and blue

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Brazil jersey with black leather shorts. So I see he

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>did the you know, the sandwich method here because he

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>got his jersey matching his shoes and his socks, which

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I like. That's nice, but I definitely would have used

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a baggy jean or some other vibe. The

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the leather shorts are bold, bold, you know what I'm saying. Okay,

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>So for that reason, I'm gonna give this fit a

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>six out of ten. I get the vision with the jersey,

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I get the vision with the shoes, and I like

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the shorts. Maybe if he paired it with a nice blazer,

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>going back to the monochrome vibe, but not together. That's

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>not a look. Wow. Okay, I just got blinded when

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I swiped to this shade fit. All blue is not

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>really what I meant by I like monochrome, and I

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>love Shay. I love Shay and I love his fits,

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 1>but this is a lot. And what's interesting is that

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the pants are like a different blue than the sweatshirt,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and the shoes are also a different It's definitely got

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to look to it. It's Shay, he has his aura.

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I do really like the jeans and I liked it

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the sweaters a little crop, but not my favorite fit.

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>This is a lot going on anyways, Shae has aura.

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I like his fits, but this one don't love. I'm

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna give this a seven point five out of ten. Okay.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>JC Jordan Clarkson. I I'm I'm a little confused. I've

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I've not received the I don't I don't understand the

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>vision here. I'm gonna give this like a four out

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>of ten. And there's just way too much going on.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>He looked. I mean, he makes it work, but there's

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 1>just way too much going on. Wow, louke dor clean

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>fit except for this looks like a teenage girl would

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>wear it like it looks good on lou but like

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I would wear that, like I would wear that to

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>dinner with my friends. I mean, goy r bag dream

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that's my dream, right, A little bomber, a little a

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>little tank, a belt and baggy jeans. Who knew lou

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Door had that teenage girl on him? No, I'm just kidding.

0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>He makes this look good. I like this fit a lot, clean, calm,

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 1>nothing too busy. And yeah, I'm gonna get this one

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>an eight out of ten as well. That's all for slow,

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>no strip. You know this is new. Let me know

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>if you like this out in the comet. Now we're

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna move on to some exciting news. The Curry brand

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>has signed Quincy Oliveri to a shoe deal. So now

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the Curry Brand consists of Steph, Darren Fox, and Quincy.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>It is so cool to see someone live their dream.

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm here at seventeen years old. I feel like I'm

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>living my dream getting to do this, getting to talk

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>for you guys and getting the interview NBA players, and

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I know how special that can feel. So I'm so

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>happy for Quincy that he gets to do this. You know,

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>we all know Steph was his idol. There's pictures of

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>him wearing Steph curry Jersey's at such a young age.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>He says he always plays two K with him. To

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 1>now be under his shoe deal must be an incredible feeling.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's really exciting. Now. Quincy's good, he is. We

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>saw him really go off in Summer League. But my

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>question is he's a two way player right now. He's

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>playing games in the G League. So the Curry brand

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 1>really took a gamble on making a shoe deal with him.

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of money that usually goes to a

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>bigger player. But you know what it says to me

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>that Steph sees something in Quincy, which is what I

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like to see. He sees future. He sees that Quincy

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't just an underdog he can really be that guy,

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>which is cool. I like that. I'm excited to see

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>more to come for Quincy and the Curry brand. Okay,

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>this is random, and I don't know if people will

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>relate to this, but I have this thing that wherever

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>whenever I go to NBA games, players always stick out

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.959
<v Speaker 1>to me that don't stick out to me on TV,

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>meaning there's players that I think that you can really

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>only grasp how good they are you're in the arena.

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I was in Miami over Thanksgiving break visiting my grandparents,

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and I went to the Miami Heat Toronto Raptors game.

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Scotty Barnes wasn't the player who stuck out to me.

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Butler wasn't the player who stuck out to me

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Tyler hero Bam about no, no, no. It was Yakub Pertle. Yeah,

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yakub Pertle. He stuck out to me. Let me tell you.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>He's been averaging sixteen points eleven boards this season for

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the Raptors, which great numbers in themselves, but watching him play,

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I was blown away. He is the most one of

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the most consistent players I've ever watched in person. He's

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been in the league for about eight nine years now

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.599
<v Speaker 1>and he's still doing his thing. He's unbelievably efficient. I

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 1>believe he shoots around fifty five percent from field goal range,

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>which is eighth best in the league. But he rarely

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>missed and was so dominant on the boards. He's very underrated,

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think that that should be people's new answer

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>when they say he's the most underrated player in the league.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Out yaka Perdle. Yeah, come on, slow Noes, it's gonna

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>be It would be a fun time, all right. Lastly,

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the Phoenix Suns. So the

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Phoenix Suns are eighteen and nine. Okay, they're eleven and

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>two when Kevin Durant plays, and they're one and seven

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.959
<v Speaker 1>when he doesn't. I don't want to make too big

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>of a claim, but can Devin Booker and Bradley Beale

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>not do by themselves? Do they really need Katie? That

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>does say something a little something to me about Devin

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Booker's legacy at this point. He's a little bit of

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a vet. I think he should be able to be

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>doing this himself. But it also talks about the longevity

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and consistency of Kevin Durant and shows really how great

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>of a player and a score that he is. I've

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>always loved Katie and I think that this is a

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>really cool thing to see. I'm rooting for him. I'm

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>rooting for the Sons to do well. But what's interesting

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>is the Sons have depth. Josh so Kog, Grayson Allen,

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they do have depth. So to see that, really, kad

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is that glue guy is interesting. It's like Draymond two

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 1>point zero. You know, Beau Dram wants the number one

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>glue guy of all time. Anyway, guys, that was my

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Slow Nose by Myself for today. I hoped you liked

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it and I hope you have fun and you guys

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>had any recommendations for what I should do next on

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Slow Nose by Myself or a better name than this one,
