57
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: do it. The NBA is and always will be fantastic.

58
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean, shit, it's here, let's just jump into it.

59
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: The Champion Chip Nuggets, the north West Division, the Champion

60
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: Chip Nuggets. Matter of fact, we're gonna break down really quickly,

61
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: real concisely, what to look for in every NBA team,

62
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: The Nuggets, the Championship Nuggets. Can the Nuggets repeat as champions?

63
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: Will the Joker get his third MVP? The X factors?

64
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Who steps in for Bruce Brown who signed for big

65
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: money in Indiana? That is the X factor, and obviously

66
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: the championship hangover. But I don't think the Joker gets

67
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: hungover from rings and things. I certainly don't think Jamal

68
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Murray gets hungover from rings and things. The Thunder. The

69
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: main story is Shay Guildris Alexander an All team first

70
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: NBA player Again, the X factor is ken Chet Holgram

71
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: be the rookie of the Year and anchor the defense.

72
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go to Wembinanna Wemby. But chet

73
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Holgrom is a fucking problem. I will not be surprised

74
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: if they go with two Rookies of the Year co

75
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: Rookies of the Nbar because chet Homegroom looks to be

76
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: the real deal as well. The Timberwolves. The Minnesota Timberwolves.

77
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: The main story is Karl Anthony Towns, Karl Anthony Towns,

78
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobaher and Nas Reed. Can these big men co exist?

79
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: And the Timberwolves X factor is will Anthony Edwards become

80
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: the night in, night out superstar? We expect him to

81
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: be talks like it, he looks like it, but can

82
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: he do it every single night, every single game and

83
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: push the Timberwolves to the next level? The Utah Jazz.

84
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: The main stories does John Collins fit next to the Finisher?

85
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: The Finisher? And Kelsler? The X factor is can Colin

86
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Sexon or rookie Keiante George from Baylor be the point

87
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: guard they sorely, sorely need next to Clarkston. I think

88
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Colin Sexton can do that. I like Colin Sexton. The

89
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Blazer's main story revamped roster, the what Time is It?

90
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Dame Dollar era? Dame Time era has ended? And Scoot

91
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: Henderson the Scoot Henderson era begins, and Jeremy Grant has

92
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: to live up to that also, shit man, Listen the

93
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: X factors. They got athletic wings, they got Bigs eight

94
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: and Lord Simmons and Sharp. The Blazers are a lot

95
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: better than last season. But that ain't saying much. That

96
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: ain't saying much. DeAndre Ayton, Let's see what you got.

97
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: You want it out? Well, now you're in Portland, Let's

98
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: see what you got. The south West Division gotta start

99
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: with the Mavericks, the fucking Dallas Mavericks. The main story.

100
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Do Luca and Kyrie work? They both love to dribble

101
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: the rock? I mean, I've never seen two people on

102
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: the same team that love to dribble the rock that

103
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: he's the main story. The X factor is Luca in

104
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: shape and ready to finally be the MBP because he

105
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: will have to be the MVP for them to even

106
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, for them to even make the playoffs

107
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: in the West, That's right, I said it, But it's

108
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: really about Ken Luca and Kookie Kyrie. Can that really

109
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: work long term? The Grizzlies their main stories. They're playing

110
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: half the year without Jah Pow Pow Morant having traded

111
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: Tias Jones, who initiates that offense. The X factor is

112
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: does Desmond Baine become an All Star next to Marcus Smart?

113
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Their best player is missing half the fucking season because

114
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: he We all know what Ja Moran did the Pelicans.

115
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: This is it, the New Orleans Pelicans, this is it.

116
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: This is really a make or break season for Zion?

117
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Can you make it through seventy games? Zion Williamson. We

118
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: all want to see you do it. We've seen flashes,

119
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: We're all hoping, we're all praying that you stay healthy.

120
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: Can you stay in shape? And can you stay on

121
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: the court? Ingram and Zion? Ingram and Zion or one

122
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: of them ain't coming back next season? The X factors

123
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: who steps up with shooting with Trey Murphy also out

124
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: for a little while. The Rockets, they're all fucked up.

125
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: I listen, they got fred van Fleet, they got u Udaka.

126
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: Can they turn these boys to men? The X factor

127
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: is the youth movement? Is it going to give team

128
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: fits because speed kills? Are they ready to fully fully

129
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: embrace manhood? And I am praying that James Harden does

130
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: not wind up in Houston. Why the fuck would you

131
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: want James Harden, Coach Udaka, the Spurs, the Frenchman, the

132
00:10:54,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: big Frenchman, Victor wen bin Yama. If he's able to

133
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: they stay healthy. I think this guy is going to

134
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: live up to all the fucking hype. That's the main story.

135
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Guys that are seven foot nine like him, historically they

136
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: get hurt. I never wish that on any player, but

137
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Victor women Yama. If he's healthy and he truly is

138
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: a generational talent, that's the main story. X factor. Who

139
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: can fill out their big three Kilden Johnson, Jeremy Shohan.

140
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: They must okay in order for this team to compete.

141
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: There's only so much that Coach Pop and the giant

142
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: french Men can do. But it's gonna be fun. The

143
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: Pacific Division, the Warriors, the Golden We forgot about the

144
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. This is it. I think this is

145
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: it The main stories. Can the Warriors win? Or is

146
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: it time to break up one of the most exciting,

147
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: game changing, fun iconic teams have ever and go young?

148
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: The X factor is the health. The health, the health,

149
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: Draymond's ankle, Chris Paul's hamstrings, and of course Klay Thompson.

150
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson. Can he be consistent and be the Klay

151
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Thompson we all know and love The Sun's Holy shit?

152
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: The main story is the maybe the Big Three, the

153
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: best Big three ever. They're fucking gonna be a problem.

154
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Booker Beal and the Big Spitter are capable of putting

155
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: up thirty points each a night. They're gonna need to

156
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: score because their defense ain't shit. Their defense is going

157
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: to be and has been, Swiss cheese. But it's gonna

158
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: be exciting. The West is gonna be rough? How's the

159
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: West going to be won? The Los Angeles Clip their

160
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: main story is can this deep veteran team finally bust

161
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: through and stay healthy? Also, Clippers leave the fucking James

162
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: Harden idea in the dust. But can Kawhi and PG

163
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: thirteen stay healthy? Historically I would say no. I like

164
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,119
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I like all the players on the Clippers,

165
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: but it just doesn't seem to be fucking reasonable to

166
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: think that they're all going to be there the entire season.

167
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: The X factors. Can Tyler make a balancing act out

168
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: of everyone keeping everyone happy for minutes? Or is there

169
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: a trade on the horizon? But even more than Tyler,

170
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: we have to see if these guys can make it

171
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: to January, all of them on the court. The King's

172
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: main story. Can they win the division again? Can they improve?

173
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: They have a target on their beam? Can they step

174
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: up and take it to the next level? The X

175
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: factor is, does dearon Fox have what it takes to

176
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: take this team deep into the playoffs? Because but now

177
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: no one is surprised nobody's not paying attention Sacramento, you

178
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: really really have our attention. And the Lakers, oh, you

179
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: can never forget or count out the fucking Los Angeles Lakers.

180
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: As Lebron James gets ready to play in his forty

181
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: ninth season in the NBA, holy shit, The main story

182
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: is how much longer can Lebron James run an offense?

183
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: And can Anthony Davis stay healthy? Anthony Davis? Can you

184
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: stay fucking healthy? And can you finally take the burden

185
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: off of your sixty three year old running mate Lebron James?

186
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: The X factor is D'Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent. Are

187
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: they capable of not being exposed on defense when the

188
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: game is on the line. Remember, Gabe Vincent was a

189
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: fucking all generational talent last year during the Miami Heat run.

190
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: He was fantastic and now he is on the Lakers.

191
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: But can he plays some deference?
