1 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,640 What is up, fellow thermonuclear A efforts. I am Dan have a valley 2 00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:24,440 coming at you with in off the beat segment here had a couple of podcasts 3 00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:29,359 ghostings slash cancelations at the last minute, and since I've been smashing the over 4 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,200 and under on so many of these NBA team look aheads, which you should 5 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,039 check out playlists on YouTube, Apple, Spotify as well. Subscribe to us 6 00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:39,280 everywhere. Go check those out. But I figured why not try and go 7 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,560 through this and I'll do it in real time. I will have Grant Hughes 8 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,600 is gonna come back and we're gonna do our over unders for the East and 9 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,960 the West. We'll go a little bit more into detail on these, but 10 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:51,560 just figured to do it off the cuff. I'm not looking at over unders 11 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960 while I'm doing this, and I know some of the lines have moved anyway. 12 00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:57,000 I'll have the wind totals. We gotta get to twelve thirty on each 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,640 column, so let's see go back and where I have to correct when I 14 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,560 take wins away from I just feel like it'll be super interesting very quickly. 15 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,640 Though.

We missed our ten k subscriber 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,040 mark on YouTube by quite a bit for the offseason, but we're closing it 24 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,359 on two ks to help us get there. We're also like fifty followers or 25 00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:40,280 a little bit fewer away from five five k followers on Twitter, so at 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,079 Hardwa Nasco check us out there. Links to all our socials are in the 27 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,319 description and on the screen, so just remember to subscribe. But let's get 28 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:49,680 into this. I'm gonna throw it up on the screen for people watching on 29 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:53,920 YouTube, and as you can see, we gotta get to one two hundred 30 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760 and thirty wins one thou two hundred and thirty losses. So I haven't set 31 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,879 up that it should be automatically. And then I haven't set up on the 32 00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,000 next dock where I can go through my standings really quickly. At the end 33 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,599 of this and I have the wins, might be mentioning those from last season. 34 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,280 That'll help me give a baseline if I think teams improved, how much 35 00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,639 worse that they got. But let's do this and see how long that it 36 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,479 takes me. I was hoping for like twenty minutes or less here, but 37 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:19,960 I guess we're about to find out. The Atlanta Hawks forty three wins last 38 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,680 year. I'm gonna go with forty six right now. Boston Celtics at fifty 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,120 one last year. They're all kinds of gallows injured. RW three is gonna 40 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,919 be injured, Sam How's cornet look like they're gonna play a ton of roles. 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,599 The Emailudoka stuff, all sorts of weird. I'm just gonna pencils the 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560 man for fifty, which is a win fewer than last year. The Nets, 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,840 I can't trust them as far as I could throw them. They're at 44 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,520 forty four last year. Low Key Kevin Durant since twenty eighteen twenty nineteen has 45 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,400 appeared and fewer combined regular season playoff games than Joel embiid En Kawhi Leonard, 46 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,719 two players who are often dinged for their fragility. I just don't trust this 47 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,039 team. I could see it imploading. Kyrie Irving always seem to mistime for 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,159 stuff. Ben Simm's working his way back from a back end injury, learning 49 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,240 to fit in with his new teammates. I don't know what the defense is 50 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,879 gonna look like. They could still be really fucking good, though, I 51 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:09,800 don't think they're a fifty win team. I'm gonna say forty six as well 52 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,199 for them the Hornets, I just have no faith in. I feel like 53 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,639 they're a team that might sort of implode during the season on purpose. Maybe 54 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,599 Steve Clifford. I think that he'll be good to improve the defense, and 55 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,919 his teams tend to get the low hanging fruit and had a couple of wins 56 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,840 there. They were at forty three last year. I think they're gonna below 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,680 that though, And I'm just gonna inverse their record thirty nine wins for the 58 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,360 Charlotte Hornets the Chicago Bulls forty six last year. They dealt with a ship 59 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:37,120 ton of injuries, more so than just Lonzo, but they Caruso missed a 60 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240 ton of time. Patrick Williams missed a ton of time. Zach Lavine was 61 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,240 dealing with and playing through some knee stuff. The Bulls, but I feel 62 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,000 like they're gonna win fewer. I'm gonna put them at like forty two. 63 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,159 The Cleveland Cavaliers at forty four. They trade for Donovan Mitchell if they even 64 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,520 just get better health. They had Jared Allen dealing with some stuff towards the 65 00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:59,120 end of last year. The bench, you could have faith in it, 66 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,639 Maybe don't have faith in it. A full year of cars Lavert Rubia comes 67 00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:03,199 back at some point. I really love Dean Wade. Ken Love is a 68 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,719 great year last year. How many wins is Donova Mitchell worth to this team 69 00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:11,360 with the East being so deep, I'm gonna go with fifty for the Calves. 70 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,800 I'm a big believer in the Calvs. The Mavericks. I don't know. 71 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,240 They're talking about signing for Kundo Compazzo, which if you needed a third 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,920 ball handle, you probably should have thought about that sooner so that you didn't 73 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:24,279 have to wind up using Josh Reen or Frank Nielkina and then falling back to 74 00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:28,839 Facundo Compazzo. They were fifty two last year, Lucas slow start, he 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,360 might dominate all season. He looks like he's in pretty good shape. He's 76 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,959 probably good for close to fifty wins himself. I'm gonna go with forty eight. 77 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,519 I might even be a little generous here. The Nuggets forty eight wins 78 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,360 last year with basically no Michael Porter Jr. He sucked when he was instinct 79 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,160 sucked, but he wasn't great when he was playing. No Jamal Murray. 80 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:47,680 Looking at some of those bench units, I just feel like, even if 81 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,920 they cake in some maintenance for MPJ, for Jamal Murray, even if Yokits 82 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,480 just can't go full bordering the regular season because of the past three years, 83 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,600 this team's gonna win a ship a ton of games. I think going fifty 84 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:04,759 five Detroit Pistons twenty three wins last year, they're probably better. I don't 85 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:06,759 know what they can do this year in the East, which is deeper, 86 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,199 so wins are harder to come by. And if you know, if the 87 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,399 magic, like the magic of the Pistons will probably end up being better than 88 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,079 expected, which will come at the expense of the other team, I'm just 89 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,839 gonna put them in for like twenty seven for now Golden State, with the 90 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,399 Draymond green stuff sort of floating around out there, they are going to be 91 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,319 reliant on some more of the kiddos more they had fifty three last year. 92 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,720 Is that reasonable to assume that they do that again. I'm just gonna depends 93 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,360 limit for fifty three again. I love Steph Curry. I think he might 94 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,560 be my MVP pick. I'm debating between him and Janice right now. And 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,000 there was some zion in Pascal consideration in there. If anybody cares the Rockets 96 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,360 twenty wins last year, I don't think they get more than that, but 97 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,879 they're just gonna be so overmatched in the West. I'm gonna say twenty five. 98 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,240 I'm gonna say twenty six. That even feels low. The Pacers, 99 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:55,519 I just feel like having sub twenty five, I'm gonna put him in for 100 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,319 twenty five wins again with their team that if they trade Miles Turner, they 101 00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:01,360 might just be bad on purpose and we could see them pulling okay see and 102 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:04,639 sort of shut down Tyree's Haliburton like at the halfway point of the three quarters 103 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:08,920 pulled the Clippers forty two wins last year. You have to imagine They're gonna 104 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,600 get better health from one of Kawai, Norman Powell, and Paul George, 105 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,240 if not all three of those dudes. I think they're a fifty win team, 106 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,759 but they won't care as much about the regular season. I'm gonna go 107 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,399 fifty one here the Lakers. If they're not gonna trade Westbrook, I just 108 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,040 you'll get better health from Adie and Lebron. They're gonna be in the thirties 109 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,079 for me. Let's go thirty eight and just move on. And they need 110 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,879 to trade Ross or make the roster make sense at least. The Grizzlies fifty 111 00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,360 six last year, no Triple Jay to start the season. I kind of 112 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,160 think they overachieved a little bit last year, but I've been wrong on them 113 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,120 for four years in a row. I don't even know what the overunder is 114 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,959 on them just yet. I haven't done their look ahead pod fifty six wins. 115 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:48,399 I just the West is tougher. It's going to be fewer than that, 116 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,160 and I'm gonna say I feel like this is gonna make people mad. 117 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,839 I'm gonna say forty eight. Remind me heat fifty three last year. They're 118 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,519 a little bit older. Kyle Lowry's apparently in better shape, and if he's 119 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:00,920 healthier, he's also dealing with a lot of person stuff. Tyler hero get 120 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,319 another year from him, But they're really gonna miss PJ. Tucker. I'm 121 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:09,240 gonna put them in for fifty Milwaukee fifty one. We don't know when Chris 122 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,240 Middleton's gonna come back. They're a team that they're the least combustible team maybe 123 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,319 in the NBA, like just there's their infrastructure is just so dependable. So 124 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,399 I'm gonna say that they get better, and let's go with fifty three. 125 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:23,439 Here the timberwolve of forty six. How much better do they get with the 126 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,759 Rudy Gobert trade. I'm gonna say they get pretty bed. I'm gonna forty 127 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:30,319 nine New Orleans Pelicans. I don't know if this is I thought I was 128 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,879 like ahead of the Pelicans, but I'm starting to realize how high people are 129 00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:36,199 on the Pelicans. If you tell me Zion plays in sixty games, I'm 130 00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,639 smashing. They're over whatever that is sitting. I don't even remember it from 131 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,959 the pod that we did. Look, look, let's do it. Fifty 132 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,439 two wins for the Pelicans. Let's get drunk here for Nicks very seven and 133 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:49,800 forty five, I probably have a little bit higher of hopes for them, 134 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:55,120 even though the East is deeper. Julius Randall, hopefully he buys into a 135 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,759 more complimentary role. Jalon Brunson's really fucking good. I'm trying to manifest r. 136 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,879 J. Barrett from most improved player or even though I think it's gonna 137 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:05,720 be LaMelo ball if they play Quentin Grimes, if they play you know, 138 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,240 more of the kids Obi just the shot of adrenaline. I love Isaiah Harten 139 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,439 signed them as a fantastic signing. I think they're like a five hundred team. 140 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:15,680 Maybe that might be when we come back to okay See twenty four wins, 141 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,240 no chet going under that now feels like reasonable. But I did give 142 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:24,399 twenty six wins to the Rockets, who are probably better on paper that them. 143 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Let's just say, okay see and the Victor Weban Yama's gonna factor in 144 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,519 this. We're going twenty three for okay See. They take the shit out 145 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:33,120 of this. I feel like the Magic could be really good. The fault 146 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,120 injury hasn't been concerned. They're gonna be missing jell and Suggs, who didn't 147 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,639 have a great rookie year, but I think he was gonna be really good 148 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,919 this season, especially when being able to play with palel Ban Caro and Wendell 149 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,480 Carter Jr. And Franz Wagner. Those three together are super interesting. The 150 00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:48,080 guard play on this team is a huge question mark, but I do think 151 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,559 they're It wouldn't surprise me if they get into the thirties. I'm gonna put 152 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,799 them in thirty one Philadelphia fifty one and thirty one. That almost feels about 153 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,720 right. But Kking another year of tyrees, Maxie James Harden being in shape, 154 00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,000 and they won fifty one when they had just that empty roster spot rotation 155 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,080 slot because of Ben Simmons for so much of last year. Fifty fifty four 156 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,240 sat too, But like, why would they win more than the Bucks? 157 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,279 Though? You have a I'm gonna put the Bucks. So fifty four for 158 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,639 the Bucks and let's put fifty three for the Sixers the Suns. This is 159 00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:22,919 a big one. They won sixty four last year. We don't know what's 160 00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:26,360 gonna happen with the Jay Crowder situation the bench. There are players that I 161 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,559 like on there. Damian Lee, I'm a biggish waynewright guy. Let's see 162 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,080 if he just he has his hands up all the time, and he's very 163 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,799 plug and play on offense, and he even put the ball on the floor 164 00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,240 bit in open space in addition of just you know, fanning out to the 165 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,240 corners and just isn't a ball stop right there? So whould keep the ball 166 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:43,240 moving? Will he play? Though? Is the question? Their secondary big 167 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,360 man rotation makes me uneasy. There's a lot of good things being said about 168 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,320 Jock Landale right now. He might useur Bismack Bimbo and maybe even Dariel Scharitch 169 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,919 in that backup five spot, but there's still so many questions they're going to 170 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,159 be worse Chris Paul's older Devin Booker fucking rules. I just think we gotta 171 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,679 we can't overestimate there's some drama going there, but let's not overestimate I'm gonna 172 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,799 in a ten win drop, and that's a pretty substantial drop. Maybe they 173 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480 load managed CB three or I have to deal with an injury, but we 174 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,600 I think we need to recognize collectively that the Suns are just still really freaking 175 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960 good, even if you don't believe in them. For the playoffs, I 176 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,639 think this team makes a move and they would still be a regular season machine. 177 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,399 When you look at sort of the top five players on their roster, 178 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,480 it gets fifty after five right away. Unless you just believe in Campaign, 179 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,559 believe in Josh and Kobe or Damian Lee or Tory Craig or Jack Landale or 180 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,879 Bismack Beyond. I mean, yeah, I'm talking to myself about it right 181 00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:35,759 now. That's why. That's why it's fifty four. If you told me 182 00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,360 they traded for like Gary Trent Junior, even fucking Cody Martin from Charlotte, 183 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,960 who's a trade target, I think they should go after. I might nudge 184 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,440 it up a bit. I have no idea what to do on Portland twenty 185 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679 seven and fifty five. I'm just putting them at forty one. They feel 186 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,919 like that type of team. They're a little shallow, went unproven. How 187 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,799 much are they gonna develop? Shade and sharp? Can Afrey Simon's carry those 188 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,679 line ups without Dame. I think Dame will be great this year for what 189 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,159 it's worth. Though the Kings, I don't know. Thirty seven. I 190 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:07,519 think they're like thirty eight thirty eight for the Kings. The Spurs, they're 191 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,080 gonna be bad on purpose. I don't know if they're the worst team in 192 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,919 the NBA, because they have a lot of really intriguing players, most of 193 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600 whom are young, and so yeah, you can trade Jaka Peartle and Josh 194 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,840 Richardson and Doug McDermott, but how many wins does it actually cost you. 195 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:24,600 They're at thirty four last year. I think that they're we're gonna see some 196 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:28,480 real time. I'm putting them at twenty five. The Raptors forty eight last 197 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,320 year. They're better Otto Porter Junior. They signed him Precious A Chua man 198 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,960 I just I whipped on him. Just always trust the Raptors. I did 199 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,840 it with Scottie Barnes. I did it with Gary Trent Junior because I thought 200 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,360 I learned, But I didn't do it with Precious A Chua. They're really 201 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,879 I've heard some good things about Christian Coloko and Delano Banton. There's been a 202 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:48,879 lot of great things said about them. I still very much worry about their 203 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,639 half court offense and maybe they're shooting overall, especially they end up moving GTJ 204 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,159 because he's in a contract year. I'm pets limit at forty eight again, 205 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,639 but they feel like they could be a better team and give him some respect. 206 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:01,919 A fort on the Jazz. Now, Jazz fans, I'm gonna do 207 00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:07,399 a Jazz look ahead. And I've seen Jazz fans get rightfully so concerned that 208 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,399 their team is not gonna get enough coverage or they're gonna be misinterpreted because they're 209 00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:11,679 going to be so bad. And I've also seen a lot of Jazz fans 210 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,720 say this team will be better than expected, look at the talent. My 211 00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,279 big thing is even the Jazz can say whatever they want about not tanking, 212 00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:22,960 this team is going to look drastically different by the trade deadline. You look 213 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,440 at Conley, you look at Malie Beasley, you look at Ruby Gay being 214 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720 merrithough, how much of an impact does he have. You look at Jordan 215 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,440 Clarkson, even who people said, oh, he's more likely to extend than 216 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,039 be traded. This team is just going to look different, even if it's 217 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,120 shutting guys down. I think we need to remember that. And so there, 218 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,080 I do think they have a chance to be the worst team in the 219 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,080 league. Do I think they're gonna be worse than Okay, see at this 220 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,360 point, if you tell me they play the Vets I'm gonna say no, 221 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,480 but they might be right in line. I'm going twenty seven for now because 222 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,440 they might Let's go twenty eight because they might win too many regular season games. 223 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,799 Well, I'm like spot on the money if you're looking at these totals 224 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:01,440 right now, or no, I'm not spot on the mone. I'm gonna 225 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,360 be off by quite a bit. The Wizards, I don't know, thirty 226 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,799 five games last year. I feel like they just might be there again. 227 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,960 Can you count on Christops for a whole year? What does this defense sort 228 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,440 of look like? They have a bunch of really intriguing wings with Danny Avia, 229 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,080 Kyle Kuzma. I like Will Barton, I like Monte Morris. I 230 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:22,879 just something's just a miss with this squad, and I can't put my finger 231 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:26,440 on I don't think they're deep enough. Is probably one are you going to? 232 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,519 You know, like, who are you trusting really to defend like the 233 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,559 other premier players. I guess Kuzma can do that. Danny Avia can even 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,600 do that a little bit. Bradley Beal will probably have a bounce back season. 235 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,799 This team is tough. They're at thirty five. Let's just sue Bradley 236 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,320 Beal is healthier and better, and I thirty nine. All right, so 237 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,360 I am I mean forty one more losses here For anyone who could say I'm 238 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,279 at forty one over, that is probably pretty high. So let's see who 239 00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,799 I'm too high too low on forty six. For Atlanta, I don't want 240 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,799 to go lower boss, Let's put him at forty nine. They're a mis 241 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,000 fifty. I mean, they don't have a gooka. They're dealing with some 242 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,399 injuries. Let's just go Horford's older. I'm gonna go forty nine. Then 243 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,120 that's at forty six. You know what from down forty five. I don't 244 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960 care no hornets. I think I'm being too much of a coward with how 245 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,919 low I am on them, Like this isn't a team that I really believe 246 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,559 in thirty six, I think they're gonna be. They might not be like 247 00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:26,080 super Bad, and there might be some really good development. If you're looking 248 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,799 at LaMelo Ball, James book Night does not look great in the preseason, 249 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,639 by the way. That kind of hurts my soul. But they could flip 250 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,759 a switch to and decide to enter the tank sweepstakes, so we'll revisit them. 251 00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:37,960 I'm not moving Chicago down. I'm gonna try not move Cleveland down at 252 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,039 fifty, Dallas at forty eight. I just I trust Luca and not the 253 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080 Mavericks, if that makes any sense. The Nuggets at fifty five. I 254 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,759 don't even bullish there. If fifty five is the highest wind Told I could 255 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:50,799 see him I have in the best regular season record, let's leave that. 256 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,759 It's into twenty seven, man, I'm gonna leave them there. I feel 257 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,000 like I didn't even go up enough. Let's give the Warriors just They're not 258 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,720 gonna give a shit out the regular season. Let's give them fifty two. 259 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,720 The Rockets at twenty six, the Pacers at twenty five. There's some room 260 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,200 on the Pacers. I think maybe there's a like, are they worse than 261 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:13,759 last year? Because Turner might be healthier, but they're not gonna have Sabonus, 262 00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,720 who was their best player. Tyre's Halliburton is gonna be a lot better. 263 00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:20,600 Though. I really like ben Nick Mathren. Isaiah Jackson intrigues me, 264 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,960 although not he was talking more about his ball skiales. I spoke with Caitlyn 265 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,879 Cooper about that. That's rough. Uh, I'm gonna leave them for now. 266 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,960 The Clippers at fifty one. We're just gonna leave them. They're so 267 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,240 deep, so good. Do I want to bring the Lakers down to like 268 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,519 thirty seven or something? Leave them at thirty eight? You know what? 269 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:39,679 It's time. I'm sorry. I can't be a coward here. I hope 270 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,480 I'm wrong. The Grizzlies are so much fun. We're going forty six. 271 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:46,720 You know what? Are we going forty five? No? Forty six for 272 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,440 the Grizzlies, forty nine for Miami? Just some direction? They're fifty four 273 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,960 for Milwaukee, not moving off that. Minnesota at forty nine. How do 274 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,480 we feel about forty eight for Minnesota? I think that's that's maybe fine. 275 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,559 Fifty two or fees, that's like a very easy one to come off. 276 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720 But I'm not moving off the fifty one one fifty one right there, sticking 277 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:07,879 with it. Nick's at forty one and forty one. Maybe I'm being a 278 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,320 homer here and too high on them. Let's just see where I end up 279 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,519 with. Okay, See at twenty three is a lot Orlando, I'll give 280 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,919 him thirty instead of thirty one. Philly at fifty three, and the Sun's 281 00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:19,600 at fifty four. I'm gonna leave it just see how watch I'm off by 282 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:23,519 the Blazers at five hundred, I'm gonna leave it. The King's at thirty 283 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:26,840 eight, I'm gonna leave it. The Spurs at twenty five, Let's you 284 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,360 know what they really they're the team. They're the team that I think is 285 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,519 gonna steer into the tank the most. The Spurs of twenty three, the 286 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,399 Raptors at forty nine, I'm not moving that. The Jazz at twenty eight, 287 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440 there's some like a room nality. We are the Wizard that thirty nine, 288 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,279 I'm still twenty seven wins short Ah, it's time if we gotta start 289 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:49,639 making some tough cuts here, I don't know where to go. I'm this 290 00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,519 is why I'm doing these in real time. I want to see if I 291 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:55,840 can process it. It's we gotta it's time to start trimming a fact. 292 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:59,840 I'm too high on all these teams. Let's start again. Atlanta at forty, 293 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,799 No, Boston forty nine, No, Brooklyn forty five. I want 294 00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:06,720 to go lower the Hornets. Look, Charlotte, I'm sorry. I think 295 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,599 there's there's real implosive potential here. Thirty four for Charlotte, I'm gonna are 296 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,880 the Bulls of forty one win team m Man, no Lonzo for so much 297 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,079 of the year, so important to their defense is the ros't gonna be as 298 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:22,759 clutch as he was last year. Who just looked okay in the preseason. 299 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,960 That's good. Forty one for Chicago. Cleveland at fifty that's like begging me 300 00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,920 to probably pull it down, you know what. Forty seven for Dallas. 301 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,319 I love you, Luca, but I don't trust the supporting cast at all. 302 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,799 The Nuggets to fifty five, no staying bullish. Bullish on the Nuggets. 303 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,119 Twenty seven for Detroit, fifty two for Golden State, twenty six for 304 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,920 Houston. I think they'll be some Shenanigans in Houston. Let's just say, 305 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119 like it's plus four wins, why should they be if they might trade Eric 306 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,599 Gordon and really lean into like Tarry Easan's looked great, so they start playing 307 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,759 him over j Shawn Pate twenty four and that means I gotta bring the Pacers 308 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,839 down to twenty four as well. The Clippers at fifty one, LA at 309 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,039 thirty eight. Memphis is at forty six. Guys, I'm sorry, ladies, 310 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,119 gentlemen, everyone, I'm just anyone out there. I'm apologizing this is 311 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,559 so bad. I can't do it. I can't bring Memphis down to forty 312 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:17,279 four forty five? Can I? Britain? Let's leave it for now. 313 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,559 Milwaukee at fifty four. Maybe I'm a little bit. Maybe they won't care 314 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,440 about the regular season as much. Middleton is mint some time, all right. 315 00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:30,519 Fifty three on Milwaukee, fifty three on Milwaukee. New Orleans fifty one. 316 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,880 I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with it forty one for the next 317 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,559 I'm gonna stick with it to talk me out of it. Orlando at thirty 318 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,240 is probably the one where I really need to come pull back on. I 319 00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:44,000 said there's a chance I think they're better than the Hornets, and it's so 320 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,759 like, why are you going to come down? Leave them for now? 321 00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:48,839 Philadelphia fifty three. I just keep coming back to how are they not? 322 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,400 I'm just dropping shit all over the place because I'm worrying right now. Phildelvia 323 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,519 fifty three. How are they not better than they were at they won fifty 324 00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:00,559 one? I know the East is deeper, but holy shit, I'm gonna 325 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,480 leave it. Phoenix at fifty four. Nope, it's gonna be bullish, 326 00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:07,559 you know what. Portland, it's time. I'm confused. Portland, you're 327 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:15,599 a thirty eight? Are you better than even the Kings? No? Thirty 328 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240 I'm gonna so thirty seven for the Kings. Do you really think the Blazers 329 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,440 are better than the Kings? I don't. Thirty seven for both the Kings 330 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,119 and the Blazers. The Spurs do I trust them to they? It always 331 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,000 feels like, and I don't not looking at this is Tory, but it 332 00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:30,279 always feels like there's a twenty win team somewhere. Where are we getting that 333 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,559 this year? Not taking off the rap, there's the Jazz, let's come 334 00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,960 back. One off the Jazz, and then the Wizards. It's time, 335 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,920 because just they're implosive. I don't see it. Two more wins. I'm 336 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,559 still eleven short, eleven short. This is amazing. This is hard, 337 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000 This is so hard. Are you ready to forty wins for the Bulls? 338 00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:52,640 I think that's fair. Cleveland, you should just come off the fifty. 339 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,200 I'm not gonna do it. I really think that they're a lot better than 340 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,519 people are crediting them. Matters to forty seven. That's like if you're telling 341 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,319 Lucas that's my limit. Detroit at twenty seven, I don't want to do 342 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,200 it, but I might do it. Golden State at fifty two, one 343 00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:11,880 win worse, and they they're gonna be They haven't necessarily solved the non staff 344 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,680 minutes. What's going on with Draymond, how much you're gonna play Wiseman and 345 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,119 Cominga and Moody, how much you were lying on them. I'm gonna leave 346 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,640 him at fifty two twenty four for the Rockets and the Pacers, that's really 347 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,960 low for both those guys. I'm sticking. You have to probably be bold 348 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,160 and pick a team that's gonna be bad. Is it okay? See? 349 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,200 Is it just I'm so high on so many members of their core, but 350 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,880 I don't know that they they really are the ones that are invested. Like 351 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:41,519 Detroit traded for Boyon, Indiana still has Miles Turner. Houston has Eric Gordon 352 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,400 as well, Jay Shawn Tate, the Skew a little veteran there, and 353 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,480 then also Albert and Shane gun was among the most seasoned rookies last year. 354 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,720 I can't get lower there. The Lakers at you know what, the Lakers 355 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:56,880 at thirty seven, Okay, Memphis at forty It's happened. Memphis at forty 356 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,039 five. I'm sorry, I hope I'm wrong. I'm gonna forty eight for 357 00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,359 the Heat. They just feel a little bit shallower. I guess you have 358 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,480 a full year Victor Rolodippo Milwaukee at fifty three, Minnesota at forty eight, 359 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,880 Like, are they really only gonna be one win better? I'm not gonna 360 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,960 say the Pelicans at fifty one. The Knicks, it's trying to stick it. 361 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,079 I gotta pick a team that's gonna just suck something awful, whether it's 362 00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,799 on purpose. I would be annoyed if the thunder shut down Shay and I 363 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:26,240 could see development from Josh Giddy. I love lu Door ken Rich Williams. 364 00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:30,160 Is there Ushman Jang if he's able to just hit any sort of set jumper 365 00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:37,279 for them? Is this the they won twenty four last year? Well shutting 366 00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:41,039 down Shay and I ready just gave them twenty three? How astronomically stupid is 367 00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:48,839 that? Man? No, can't do it. Phoenix, Philadelphia thirty seven 368 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:52,119 for the Kings of the Blazers twenty three. This is the team San Antonio. 369 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,240 I'm sorry. The Raptors of forty nine. I want to stay there. 370 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,599 I really think that the Jazz are gonna get bad on purpose. Let's 371 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:00,599 bring him down to twenty six. It's not sold. I think that's what 372 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,359 they need to do this year. I'm still four short. You know what, 373 00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:06,799 Wizards, I don't believe in you, and it's time to make the 374 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,960 call that I've been dreading the Hornets. I'm I don't know if the Hornets 375 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,640 they're a thirty five win team. Even with Lamello, they're good. Steve 376 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,000 Clifford is amazing, but I can't im It's time to make some bold leaves 377 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,960 here. I think the Hornets are gonna end up being a lot worse than 378 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,160 people expect, even if the talent suggests that they shouldn't be. But I 379 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,880 mean, I think I have many more wins? Am I short? One? 380 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:40,720 I need to come up with one loss somewhere? Uh denver I fifty 381 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,480 four it's just low hanging fruit. But I mean, if fifty five is 382 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,240 low hanging fruit, I'm not doing it. Though. I'm trying to really 383 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,839 stick with my beliefs here. The Pistons getting four wins, better they have 384 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,400 bow Yon, do they keep him? I'm gonna leave it. I'm gonna 385 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,359 I'm not gonna. Let's just see the Pistons. I might move to twenty 386 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,640 six Houston and Ndia twenty four. That's fine, Clippers of fifty one, 387 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Laters at thirty seven, members of forty five. I feel wildly uneasy about 388 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,640 the heat at forty eight Bucks at fifty three, Minnesota at forty eight Helicans 389 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,000 fifty one, there's probably some low hanging fruit. What if I just make 390 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,519 them a fifty win team. Let's just do it there it is, unless 391 00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:15,920 I want to pull back elsewhere. I can't. I just feel like the 392 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,559 rebuilding teams might even be better than we expect, but the tanking race might 393 00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:22,400 also be sort of epic, and so I probably could come up if I 394 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,119 just took a win away because Shenanigans are up. But I already have OKAYC 395 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:32,480 being worse than last year, which is so counterintuitive. So here's what's happening. 396 00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:37,680 I'm gonna go twenty for San Antonio and twenty four for OKAC, same 397 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,200 records last year, assuming some tanking shenanigans there. I don't think Orlando really 398 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,720 gets like too far into the tank. I'm gonna say Indiana really steers into 399 00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:49,079 the tank this year gets worse. There are twenty three I'm gonna be able 400 00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:52,599 to throw some more wins around, folks, don't worry about it. Detroit 401 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,240 at twenty seven. That's the tough one. I'm gonna say no, because 402 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,599 even if they try and be organically bad, I think their talent's a little 403 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,279 bit too d So I believe I have a couple of wins to throw around 404 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,680 now, and I am at I have one win. Let's throw around. 405 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,720 Do I give it to the Hornets or do I give it to the I'll 406 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,000 give it to the Grizzlies. Forty six for the Grizzlies. All right, 407 00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:19,839 let's check out what my standings are, so we will do this. All 408 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,160 right, So, as of now, I have Milwaukee and Philadelphia tied for 409 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,519 the one seed in the East at fifty three wins. My math is clearly 410 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:34,240 off here because I'll fix it now. But there's some clear Google doctor shenanigans 411 00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:38,440 here. But my time thought I had everything set up properly. I apologize. 412 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:44,519 So all right, fifty three twenty nine from Milwaukee and Philadelphia. Fifty 413 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,720 for the Calves is the three seed. Wow, that's all sorts of bizarre 414 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:52,759 my end whatever, Boston is the four seed, and the Raptors with forty 415 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:57,720 nine wins. Miami checks in at number six with forty eight wins, Atlanta 416 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,680 number seven at forty six, Brooklyn I get in there eight at forty five. 417 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,079 I have the Knicks and Bulls at nine and ten with forty one and 418 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,240 forty wins. Specifically, So my playing teams in the East right now are 419 00:25:10,279 --> 00:25:15,119 Washington, Charlotte, Orlando, Detroit, Indiana. That feels fair. That 420 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,160 feels fair. So yeah, let's let's now look at the West standings. 421 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,880 Denver I have is one seed. I know that with their fifty five wins, 422 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,920 So that's that's an easy one to go buy. Let me sort this 423 00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:33,400 to get the records here. Los Angeles Clippers fifty one at the two seed. 424 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,759 No. I. Phoenix is a two seed at fifty four. Golden 425 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:38,839 State as the three seed at fifty two. The Clippers is the four seed 426 00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:42,279 at fifty one, with the Pelicans the five seed at fifty That was with 427 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,680 the Pelicans hitting fifty games. I really want to just put the Pelicans and 428 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:49,880 like, this is where maybe I should be changing win totals right now? 429 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,119 Is do I take Do I pull back and think the Clippers are only gonna 430 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,400 get the fifty they're so deep, but it's like how many games are their 431 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,599 starsmiths? They really don't care about the regular season. I might just do 432 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,440 it, like I feel like it's time to be bold here. I'm supposed 433 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,440 to be hid in the Pelicans. Why don't you be high on the Pelicans? 434 00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:12,759 Fifty one wins for the Pelicans and we're gonna give fifty wins for the 435 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:15,839 Clippers. Or is there's someone else that I feel confident in pulling that back 436 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,640 from. I don't want to go with twenty five for the Jazz. I 437 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,960 think that they might try and yeah, I mean women, Yama, man, 438 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:26,839 this is I'm doing it. Utah. I just think you're gonna look 439 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,160 drastically different. You're gonna shut guys down. It's not an insult. I 440 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,039 think that's what you need to do. I'm not low hanging fruit there. 441 00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:33,599 I'm not trying to do that. So I have the Pelicans or the Clippers 442 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,640 with the four seed at fifty one. Minnesota is five at forty eight, 443 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,079 Dallas is six at forty seven. I'm apparently higher on Dallas than I thought. 444 00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,400 Memphis is seven or Memphis is eight, excuse me. So I have 445 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,559 Denver at one with fifty five, Phoenix at two with fifty four, Golden 446 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,720 State at three with fifty two, the Pelicans at four with fifty one, 447 00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:57,119 Slash, the Clippers at fifty one, number six, the Timberwolves at forty 448 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,839 eight, number seven, the MAVs at four seven, the Grizzlies eight at 449 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,240 forty six, and then I have the Kings, the Lakers, and the 450 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:07,519 Blazers and a three way tie for the play in with thirty seven wins? 451 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,119 Can I is there any way I could cut that? Do we try? 452 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,000 Do we think that? Okayc's just gonna get bad bad? I don't. 453 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,640 I have four teams in the West with twenty something wins. I can't do 454 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,960 it. I just I can't do it. So we're just gonna leave that 455 00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,599 as is. If anything, I would probably pull back a win from the 456 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,920 Lakers and give it but the Kings for the play in teams is the MAVs, 457 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,440 Grizzlies, and then two from the Kings, Lakers, Trailblazers. That 458 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,440 feels right, Jazz, Okay, see Houston and San Antonio as the bottom 459 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,039 four teams. Hope you enjoy this.
