WEBVTT - Interview with Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check with Triste Quick.

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of the Heat Check, we got another

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 2>bonus episode of People, and we got a special interview

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>with Brandon Scoop B Robinson, the lead NBA insider at

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Valley Sports. We conducted this interview actually this week with

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>my co host Ryan Horvaugh and PJ. Glasser on BED

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 2>MGN to Night, a betting show that I do Monday

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 2>through Friday seven pm to eleven pm Eastern Standard Time.

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Scoop beat very long resume. He's written for pretty much

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 2>everyone from SLAM to ESPN to Ebony. He's also hosted

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 2>a ton of radio, done a bunch of TV. Very good,

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>very inside the NBA vibes. So let's get into it,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Nick and drop that motherfucking beat. First and foremost, we

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>asked Scoop about his favorite team in the Atlantic Division

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>in the East. I was a little surprised, honestly with

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>his answer.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough one specifically because I really do think

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>that when you look at the nets and you look

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>at their partnership, this is the last year, year four,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and I really think they have a depth to them

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>that they really haven't had prior to the James Harden trade,

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>but Philadelphia is so much better also, particularly because of

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>just the addition of Tucker, who I think will pay dividend.

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>The Celtics is still the reigning Eastern Conference champion, and

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I think they're underestimated. I think Brooklyn and Boston both underestimated.

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take Brooklyn.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>That's saying a lot of things have to go right.

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>You must be very high on Ben Simmons because it

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 2>feels like he's got to be the glue in order

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.040
<v Speaker 2>to get that done. No.

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Ben Simmons definitely the glue in the sense of

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you know he to me, defensively is

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>what I like most. I think he doesn't have to

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>score to winning and thirty points a night. Defensively against

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>other perimeter guys. I think it's really where he's going

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to benefit Brooklyn and the fact that he gets Kay

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>off the ball quite a bit. But I also think

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>there's other pieces on that Brooklyn roster. On name Nicholas

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Claxton's West think both he and Ben Simmons are going

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to be monsters on the break now, and then other

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>guys like TJ Warrenceph Curry and Patty Mills. I really

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>do think that the Nets have a complete roster from

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>top to bottom, and the only thing that's missing is

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>really just a scorer like a Carmelo Anthony or Dwight Howard.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Will see how their health goes this season. But I

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>do like Brooklyn.

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm always looking for info on sleeper teams, so I

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>asked him for some great insight in the teams that

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>he likes coming out of the East and West teams

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and not up people are talking about not the Chalky

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Ones listening in the.

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>NBA's Eastern Conference, I definitely think it's the Cleveland Cavaliers.

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.119
<v Speaker 1>They were doing well last season without Donovan Mitchell. Coach

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Bickerstaff definitely had a quality product on the floor that

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>surprised many people in the NBA's Eastern Conference. And the

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>fact that they did it without a botafide superstar. You

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>add Donovan Mitchell to the pot. I was disappointed that

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 1>lowry marketing was was shipped out, but I think he's

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>going to do well out West. But I definitely like

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Donovan Mitchell's the Cleveland Cavaliers because of as a go Coral,

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>because of Jared Allen to who to me even that

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>got rid of Hastily. I really do think that that

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>team just has a bunch of guys that all want

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to be there. And Kevin Love as well, who I

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>think is going to have a resurgence this year playing

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>alongside down of the mitchell in the Western Conference side.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a loaded question. But there's a couple of teams

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>that I see that are surprise teams to people. Number

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>one in Minnesota Timberwolves, who I think got busy this summer.

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>They just aren't just busy, they got busy. Anthony Edwards,

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I think is propelled to have a superfluous amount of

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>energy and will benefit He is literally the ferrari that

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>has no boundaries on the Ben Franklin Turnpike in the

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia area because he's got guys that can protect them

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>at so many different positions, and you know, Karl Anthony

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Towns at a natural filling position at the fourth spot.

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I think definitely will do well. From Minnesota, I think defensively, though,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Rudy Gobert I don't see him as the defensive player

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. I do see someone like badmout of

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Bio potentially getting that crown this year in Miami. But

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I like the Timberwolves. I also like the New Orleans Pelicans.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I like the product that Willie Green has on the floor.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of teams in the Western Conference that

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>are competitive. It's not just the East that's competitive, the

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>West is competitive also.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I also asked who he liked in this great class

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>of rookies, and like most people, he's been very impressed

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>with about Palo ben Carrol listening some of the other

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>names that he had to.

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Mention, I actually like Paolo Benchetto out in Orlando with

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the Magic, and he has a feel for the game

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that seems very stoic, but we've seen it before, a

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Grant Hill like at times Ben Simmons and Lebron like

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a big guard so that can playmake that can score,

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think there's a level of maturity. I also

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>like Benic meth Uran out in Indiana with the Pacers.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>Washed him during the preseason and really been impressed with

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 1>his hops, the ability to get to the basket, and

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I like his connectivity with the point guard there. So yes,

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>those are the two guys that I like. Matt Urin

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>out in the Indiana and then also Palo Benchetto with

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the Orlando Magic.

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Probably the most surprising thing about this interview was how

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>high Scoop was on the Washington was As you guys know,

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I hate the Wizards. I think they stink. I think

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>they're a gross team. Scoop likes them since we don't

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>have a ton of Wizard stock, and we probably won't

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of Wizards stock, enjoy Scoop be lavishing

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the Washington Wizards with Price the Wizards.

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I've spent a significant amount of time with them the

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>last year, and you know, just their dedication to chemistry

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and the off season is really what I walked away with.

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I actually flew on a flight home with them. We

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>ran into each other randomly. We were all sitting in

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>first class and they were kind of giving me an

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>airfold drag the Aelus. No, not a brag, really the

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:40.159
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to really learn how those guys really bonded in

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles and the fact that they had their whole

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>training staff, So sitting there with guys that are fixed

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>with nine as well as their training staff, they shared

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>with me just a lot of their rehab process and

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>how their point guard connectivity has really helped them. Monte Martins,

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>of course, growing up with Kyle Kuzma out in Flint.

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>But in addition to that, looking at how much they're

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to fuse Kristaps Porzingis as well as Bradley Beal

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>as well as Kyles Kouzma in one is really their focus.

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>I think in an Eastern Conference where everybody pays attention

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>to Brooklyn, everybody pays attention to Philadelphia, I think the

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Wizards are in a good position as a team and nobody,

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are looking at them as you know,

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>a team that can really be effective in the East.

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>So I do, like, Scoop, how much do you like them? Though? Like?

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 2>What are we talking about in terms of seeding? Because

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>you can like a team. I like the Pacers. I

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.919
<v Speaker 2>know they're not going anywhere like I can like and

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of teams, Like okay, see, they're a

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>fun product, but I know they're not doing anything. I

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 2>know they're not going into the playoffs. Like what are

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>we talking how much do you like the Wizards?

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that they could easily win somewhere between forty

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>two and forty eight games the season, So.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Good, Scoo, I'm talking about forty two and forty eight games.

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's look at their win well.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I think Ruy has definitely impressed guys in that locker room,

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think part of it started and how he

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 1>conducted himself going into the season and playing in that

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>game in Japan. But in addition to that, Kuzma definitely

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a mindset, there's a focus that I didn't really

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 1>see last year because he was hurt for quite a

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>bit last season towards the end of the season. So,

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken, Bradley Bill, Christas Perzingis and Kuzma

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>played maybe somewhere between four to ten games together last season.

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to see them be healthy and really compete

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in that Eastern Conference. There's no reason why, particularly with

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the fact that they added their boy guard this offseason.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I really like them and I want to see them

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>do well. I also do like the Pacers. I don't

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you should either. I like Tyree's Halliburton,

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but like you mentioned before, there's certain teams. The Pacers

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>are a younger team. The Wizards have some guys that

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>are a little bit coming of age in their mid

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>twenties that are looking to compete. So I like them.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I like them as a dark.

0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Horse dark horse dark horse. All right, Scoop, all right.

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Scoop also had some interesting things to say about the

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Kings and the Pacers, teams that probably aren't going anywhere,

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 2>but are going to be very fun to watch.

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Not going anywhere for a while. You get a snickers.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The Sacramento Kings to me, since that build, they're a

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>young team. I like this to move to get Mike Brown.

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I like the fact that he and that team are

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>counted out. You look at the Western Conference overall, you

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>know you've got even the Lakers, who I think are

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>can battle for play in spot. But at the same token,

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that the Sacramento Kings aren't talked about enough,

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and for a lot of reasons, they've not been good.

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>They've not been good, but I'm excited to see that

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>young team compete. Keep you murray as uncertain against the

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Blazers I've read earlier, But I think ultimately when you

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>look at this Sacramento Kings team, I do like them.

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to watch them. Yeah, that's why I happened

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the West. In the East, I think the Pacers. I'm

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna stick with that Pacers line paces. I think looking

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>at them in the preseason, they were speedy team and

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I watched them take on the Knicks. I also think

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that nick are an interesting team, particularly because I think RJ.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Barrett doesn't hurt you. He's gotten better statistically every year

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>or stay consistent every year. I look at Mitchell Robinson

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>in his off season development, I look at Obi Toppin

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and there's a level of confidence that he has on

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the course. So I think the Knicks are another team

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>that I'm looking forward to watching.

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Finally, I had to ask scoops take on what's happening

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>in Phoenix with all of the DeAndre Ayton drama. Interesting answer,

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>take a listen.

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 1>The Sun's heading into the season. To me, I like,

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, anytime you have a Devin Booker who I

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>look at as a sleeper and an MVP selection process

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 1>this season, I think you're looking at something. Chris Paul

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is still to me a point guard that can get

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>guys involved. And I think that the eight controversy that

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>was you know, his money really and truly doesn't have

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>to be a thing if they win. I think Phoenix

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>is in a very similar situation that Brooklyn, and by

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that I mean this A lot has been talking about chemistry,

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>people getting along in money, but winning cures all. And

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that winning and making money and just being

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>successful of what you do think. I think that Phoenix

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>is still in a good position. I think that Jay

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Crowder melancholy there. I think if they're able to make

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>a move to get somebody who can place them, I

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>still think that they're a high octen machine that can move.

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I like Bridges. Bridges to me, Cam Johnson to me,

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they both are just pieces on that team that just

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>complement the well, just like the nets. Ben Simmons is

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a good problem to have when your roster. Same with

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the guys that I mentioned before on Phoenix. That's why

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I think there's so much powerdy between those two teams.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I think if they start off well the first ten

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 1>games of the season, it'll continue.

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.120
