Wizards review had me in hysterics 😂
I’m glad Bill acknowledged how dangerous the Magic could be. His therapist has to be tired of hearing about it.
The Magic won against Bill's Celtics twice last year. They will be good this year.
@@eddyalvarenga3 times*
The Magic shut down the old Garden, beat the Paul Prince era team with Dwight and owned the Celts last year…When Bill speakers positively about the Magic you know their going to be good.
Been going back to this a couple of times. Minutes 27 to 31 is gold. Props to House
House is my spirit animal. Imagine dedicating your life to Wizards fandom whilst constantly hanging around Celtics fans.
28:55 "he gets his hands on balls better than a Kardashian" had me dying LOL
The funny thing about players being mad they were in shopped in a trade is if they werent moved it means their team values them more than other teams.
Ya but it shows a willingness to even talk about moving them... They are humans with egos!
On the side of this the other team may have valued them less than their team thought they were worth.
The other team might have been offering complete ass. This isn't a funny observation, and it certainly isn't profound.

@@jeremyrhansen6637A good GM has the attitude that everybody is available in the right deal, with maybe a few exceptions for guys like Giannis, Jokic, etc.
Watching this in April I love how Russillo losses it and says "They suck dude" while House is trying to talk himself on the over for the Wizards 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
29:05
I love that just having a draft pick who "thinks he belongs on a professional basketball court" gets House excited. God damn the Wizards set the bar low
I know that House isn't going to get starter's minutes in these videos but he's not even getting good bench minutes. Give the man a chance to talk! He was going to explain more about his Atlanta pick but suddenly he was put back on the bench.
He's thoughts are lost in those 100 pages of notes.
@@neutron4563 Ben has a lot of notes too but his are all lined up on a tablet. Ryen is mostly free balling this whole series.
@@bookaufman9643Ben?
Normally I’d agree, but I felt like House was a little off with some of his picks this year lol
I was looking for this comment. I just went through the atlanta part of the video. House isn’t even getting a 10-day contract the way this is going. Let him talk!
Dollar Bill, you've you've had a rocky relationship with us Hawks Fans but. We're always gonna defend Trae and the team but we appreciate your support this season🤝🏼 Obvjectively I think you're spot on about Quin and the roster this year💯
October 21st and I'm already preparing myself mentally for a 45 win zombie Heat team to derail my season.
and make another casual Finals to beat my Celtics to derail my season 😂
@@jethrojacinto2798Not this year. Celtics are loaded. Green 18, baby!🍀☘️
@@jethrojacinto2798 no one believes in the heat more than Celtics fans
Dread it, run from it. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo arrive all the same.
Aye 45 wins will cash the over by .5 ctfu
Hawks Nation! Let's goo!!!
Didn't understand the Atlanta take at that time. Now it looks really funny.
Word to Miami, getovait.
Magic Johnson looking thicc af 🥵
GYATT
Franz Wagner 🏀🔥🙌
I rather the Warriors had drafted him over Kuminga (even though Kuminga might have a good season for Dubs)…
hi Bill I am big fan and its pronounce Hero!
I'm with House on his Wizard's bet. The wizards will have enough scoring to get to 24 or 25 wins. I don't think they can surpass 27 but I think they're right there to win this wager.
Paolo was outshined by Franz at the World Cup. Franz even got injured, came back and, although for sure being handycaped by his ankle, was our best player by far. He can do it all. But what impresses me the most is his understanding of the game. Everything he does seems to logic. He almost never has these Russell Westbrook moments, when you see a really great talent with all the ablities a basketballer can dream of, throws away the ball bc he can`t make the right decisions in the right moment. Franz almost never makes stupid plays. And he is only 21 years old. That`s amazing. And will make him an All Star in the near future..
u gotta be white
I’m near Poughkeepsie. It’s so funny to me how many people shit on it. And it’s not even people from the area lol
RJ Hampton might be amazing for the Heat
No lol
He’s definitely an athlete
@@PensFan35”might”😂
He's exactly the kind of player that figures it out in their system
Its not without question. An injury to Poole or Kuzma or Tyus and theyre essentially a g league team. They may also not be trying to win towards the end of the year if theyre at like 17 wins in March.
12:31 Bill sounds like he's talking about Luka. (Just add the constant bitching at the referees" part)
Milwaukee's defence was built on great perimetre defenders (Bledsoe & Jrue). Brook was a terrible defender when he was younger, but getting through Jrue & looking at Brook is crazy.
Milwaukee is going to rely on Giannis defending, that is not good for a 7 game series.
Same point for Celtics D. It will be built on 4 great defenders (at least) on the court at most times, & when you get past that you look at a 7'3 monster in front of you.
As for Nuggets, I have loved Jokic since he came in the league & I am always scared of him.
I do not understand why these guys hate LaMelo so much. Very likable kid!
Hell yeah go hawks!!! Trae young needs a MVP type year to prove the haters wrong🔥🔥🔥🔥
That man gets so much BS hate it is insane. Just because he was traded for Luka. I meba how can he compete with a man double his weight pretty much.
So what's Ryan's beef with House?
What do you mean
House is right on the over for the Hornets. Shows the low level of knowledge about the team (not blaming them, if I didn't live here I wouldn't care either) that they're shocked the line didn't move when Kai got cut. He was our *3rd string* center. He will not be missed on the court. This team won 27 games last year with LaMelo playing a third of the season, Bridges not playing a minute, Mark Williams played half the season, and we've added Brandon Miller - you're telling me that doesn't add up to five more wins? LaMelo playing 70 games instead of 35 like last year would get us to the over by itself. If Bridges is anything close to what he was two years ago, we'll be flirting with 35-37.
not sure miami cares enough about regular season. they live for playoff only.
Trae young gonna have to actually shoot good from three this year for the hawks to be any good
As an lifelong avid Hornets fan, don't trust this team, we are gonna be awful
House is hilarity.
Herro for Harden heck no, Tyler Herro is gonna take another step up this year. He’ll average 23-24ppg, be a better defense player and take on a bit bigger role for MIA this season as Jimmy buckets a top 5 player in the league takes it easier during the season this Herro will have more rein this year.
You just know the Wizards are going to go into the last game of the season with 23 wins.
And earn the 13th pick in the draft like we always do
Bill - Miles Bridges is back. Bridges - NOT SO FAST!
You can make the argument that the Hornets and Panthers are the worse run team in each of those leagues.
The Bears would close that argument real quick
If Herro was officiated correctly by the letter of the book, and wasn't gifted freethrows on what are technically offensive fouls, carries+ doubledribbles, and travels; AND kept his status as one of the 5 worst defenders in the league, he wouldn't be in the fucking league. Stop elevating him to think he's something special because he's NOT. His team has had more playoff success WITHOUT him.
Caleb Martin should have gotten the Larry Bird trophy in the ECF rather than that garbage that Jimmy Butler put up. CALEB MARTIN has been more playoff proven in ONE SERIES than Herro has done in FOUR YEARS.
Gd a lot of these guys, LBJ would be a good player w offensive fouls turned on, or travels, its what "ok heads" don't respect them
At least Ryen's irrational Toronto hatred is consistent.
They’re not that good
I don't get the Charlotte respect this year 😕 I think they're going to be battling San Antonio for worst team in the league
Yoo Bill shhhhhhhhh don't bring attention to my zombie heat, I wanna see them sneak up on the national media again 💯😂
I’ll never ever count the Heat out again! As a Bucks fan they are still the team I hate and fear the most
But they’ve only beat you with an injured Giannis. The Heat have no answer for him when healthy
@@WatchingvideoslikeuThey already beat the Bucks when Giannis was healthy in 2020. The Heat beat the Bucks 2/3 meetings, that's why the OP isn't taking them lightly.
Indiana,Spurs,Dallas over.
Boston, Suns,Lakers under
there is nothing Herro can do to prove he was worth Dame by himself. He is way too full of himself and that attitude is why teams werent interested.
The Wizards r easily the worst team in the league but because the west is so hard their record will be close to Portland's but the Wiz have the sorriest roster in the NBA. Clippers miss the postseason
Did Simmons actually suggest that the Wizards won’t make it to 20 wins? That’s just plain stupid. Like, I’m a Spurs fan who couldn’t care less about the Wizards, and even I KNOW they’ll get the over on 24.5, much less 20.
These predictions aged like milk.
So is every Black coach terrible or…?
So many bad takes
