@@BoeJiden8814 Philly was # 7 last year with Embiid missing half the games and having Tobias Harris on their payroll instead of Paul George. Yes, Joel and PG are injury prone, but to assume Embiid will miss half the games again and Paul George will not overall still be a big upgrade from Harris this year? And then not accounting for the potential continued improvement of 23 year old Maxey, who's a gym rat that has gotten better every year? And also considering the improved bench? It's definitely a hot take.
@@greeneggsandham91 Um yeah, Embiid will almost certainly miss half the games this year, especially since he's already missing 15 guaranteed. Also, PG isn't an upgrade over Tobias Harris if PG isn't suiting up. Finally, I don't think the bench is going to be anywhere near as crazy good as people are talking
@@DubsLuvsMusik honestly not really. Basically everyone in the west got better, Nuggets got worse. Murray can’t play in the playoffs anymore, and Jokic, despite how great he is, he won’t be able to get through in the hardest division in Basketball
Philly has a bench now and a third star. In the 2022-2023 season philly was a great team without Embiid when they had a bench and a third star. They will def be higher than 7

@@kingkanyeOrNbafan5988I mean you’re not wrong, but I think this is a “get right” year for Milwaukee. Doc has a full offseason of getting ready. I think Giannis could finish 2nd in MVP and Luka probably wins it. Their defense is questionable, but Embiid I guarantee will be extra cautious with his knee.
@Jackson54321 Embiid and PG have both said they're not playing back to backs. And Philly have what? 10+? So there's 20 games without the best and/or second best player right from the start. PG is already battered and bruised, and then they're hoping and praying that Joel doesn't go down for a long stretch again trying to make up lost ground in the MVP/All NBA race.
He makes multiple predictions for several teams so when he looks back he can pretend he’s better at predicting since if they underperform he’s right but if they roughly hit expectations he’s also right dude made like 4 finals predictions last year for 3 different teams
San Antonio above Phoenix is insane. The Suns made some good pickups in the off-season (Tyus Jones, Monte Morris) and their rookies are looking promising. I think the Spurs have a shot at the play-in but not winning more games than the Suns
@coreystenson2010 he is a traditional PG so given the Suns didn't have one and had very limited salary flexibility, I'd say that it was a good pick-up, all things considered
The phili disrespect is diabolical they were on pace to win 64-65 games with Joel Embiid healthy last year and now they have a better bench and Paul George to replace Tobias Harris
Embiid and PG are already slated to miss b2b and the Sixers have a lot of b2b this season. Putting them at 7th isn't as crazy when they're already conceding a handful of games before the season even begins.
@@danmaneditz lol i think you just started watching BB this is gonna be very very painful to watch for atleast 3-4 seasons if not longer Dark is also a bad coach and should be sacked by the trade deadline

@@realityblood yea bro idk the sixers had a great off season and improved there bench a ton. Probably best team Embiids played with I think they could string together a lot of wins in the absence of embiid/pg
Understand your take on Houston. I think they have a really good roster and could win 50 games and finish with like the 5th seed. Sengun is gonna be an Allstar and I really like Smith, Thompson and Sheppard as potential future all star caliber players.

yeah nuggets lack of depth is scary but jamal is their only injury prone starter (mpj played 81 games last season) i think the bigger problem/question mark is if he'll be the caliber of player he's been so far
as annoying as it is seeing people be blatantly incorrect about a lot of the nuggets "issues" they certainly are at their best when they're being doubted so its probably a good thing
This aged well for the Warriors ranking since they went 6-0 in the preseason, but again it’s the preseason, nobody is trying. i dont have much faith for the warriors coming from a warriors fan.
@@Haroon-m4b ok that's fair they definitely could be but they're better than last year and they have a coach that is not going to change the lineup every game
They were only two games behind the bucks last year and their a young team that made some pickups, so they will definitely be better this year. The bucks are also aging a bit so it's not that crazy to think the magic could be better.
@@Bidooffan76 yeah but the bucks main players had injury problems last year plus the bucks made some pickups and there chemistry will be better also giannis is still in his prime
Andrew the Philly hate has to stop. And the spurs glaze to my god. Philly has Paul George how going to give Maxey help. And Philly has good depth, is not like last year where Maxey was alone.
My Sixers will be in the playoffs guaranteed. There is no way that a team with 3 stars and a pretty deep bench aren’t making it. Forget the load management for Embiid, we have 2 other all stars anyway
Grizzlies at 2 is ridiculous people are gonna say that we’re sleeping on em over and over it’s been said to death they’re not going to be a top 4 seed in the west
“Philly not gunna stay healthy enough to win 50 games” They weren’t healthy last season at all and missed it by 3 games. Now the team is better. They’ll be fine my dude
East rankings are basically perfect(asuming philly's regular season record gets skewed by injuries) west rankings are also pretty solid,i think it's pretty funny that you said multiple times that clippers will be fine without pg and yet have them ranked 13th,spurs are obviously too high at 7 they're not better than the pelicans or rockets,suns are even a little too high at 8 and denver at 6 is also pretty crazy even if we consider the depth and health concerns
Said it before and I'll say it again, if Joker plays his normal allotment of games and minutes and everyone else stays relatively healthy the way that they have the last 2 years, the Denver nuggets will be a top four seed. It is complete disrespect to put them at 6 without adding the caveat that you believe Jamal Murray will miss a significant amount of time

Memphis (If Ja gets injured they will lose a fair amount of games, Ja will probably play 60-65 games, Jaren will also miss around 20 games I think, they don’t have enough bench depth to withstand injuries)
Suns (3pt shooting was the biggest issue last year especially volume and I think Bud will improve that this year and in Tyus they now have an actual PG)
Lakers (Depends on Bron and AD their health, JJ looks promising as a coach, finally no Darvin Ham anymore, if bron and AD miss some games they could drop down to Kings level)
Pels (Let’s hope they trade BI and the roster will make actual sense at some point)
Kings (I don’t think Demar will add the things they need, the offense will be fun to watch but their defense will hold them back)
Rockets (Trade Jalen Green and have an actual 2 guard who can shoot well with Amen and Fred feeding great passes to Reed)
Warriors (Steph will be Steph, great depth but the team doesn’t make sense, what they gonna play? Steph, Buddy / Podz, Kuminga, Green and TJD or Dray at center?)
Spurs (I love Wemby but he can’t carry them to 20-30 more wins, just get another lottery pick, CP will be a great mentor but he ain’t gonna play impactful minutes will get lots of assists per 36 for just throwing lobs to Wemby)
Utah (they never go full tank mode, maybe this year they will but idk)
Clippers (At least in the beginning it will be the 35 year old James Harden show and that ain’t gonna be doing a lot, they need to hope James stays healthy and Kahwi comes back quick)
Blazers (Capture the Flagg)
I just hope the thunder don’t get the first pick due to the Clippers sucking because if so we will have some boring years to come!
Bro will not stop glazing Wemby my goodness💀😭
Philly down at 7, yeah I wanna know what you’re on Andrew. Just cause you hate the Sixers suck it because they’re a top 3 seed
Finally someone who respected the Grizzlies
Kings that high is insane, yeah they got Derozen but that does not solve there problems and everyone else got better
yeah nuggets lack of depth is scary but jamal is their only injury prone starter (mpj played 81 games last season) i think the bigger problem/question mark is if he'll be the caliber of player he's been so far
San Antonio above Suns, Pels, & Lakers is crazy
Remember the last time my nuggets were the underdog? Just let it happen
as annoying as it is seeing people be blatantly incorrect about a lot of the nuggets "issues" they certainly are at their best when they're being doubted so its probably a good thing
@@bobbitsc7539 exactly I love when people doubt us
As a Jazz fan, I can already confirm that the jazz will be bottom of the West.
Also, the Wemby glaze is crazy, and Nugs at 6?!
That Wemby take is how every Spurs fan feels, lol.
This aged well for the Warriors ranking since they went 6-0 in the preseason, but again it’s the preseason, nobody is trying. i dont have much faith for the warriors coming from a warriors fan.
The Lakers hate is crazy they can finish at best fourth seed and at worst 6 seed
fr
I’m a lakers fan but they can be way worse than the 6th seed
@@Haroon-m4b ok that's fair they definitely could be but they're better than last year and they have a coach that is not going to change the lineup every game
@@TripleG12398 They could be like the 8 or 7 but they probably won't they have a better team and their coach is not changing of the lineup every game
Professional Sixers hater
Bro this guy glazes the Orlando Magic how are they 3 seed over Milwaukee
They were only two games behind the bucks last year and their a young team that made some pickups, so they will definitely be better this year. The bucks are also aging a bit so it's not that crazy to think the magic could be better.
@@Bidooffan76 yeah but the bucks main players had injury problems last year plus the bucks made some pickups and there chemistry will be better also giannis is still in his prime
@@beastparm I could see it going either way but it's not all that crazy to say the magic could have a better regular season.

lakers at 10 is outrageous!!!
Not really
Andrew the Philly hate has to stop. And the spurs glaze to my god. Philly has Paul George how going to give Maxey help. And Philly has good depth, is not like last year where Maxey was alone.
“Denver had no depth” Westbrook & Dario are some of the best bench players in the league respectfully.
Golden State gotta be higher 🗣️
As a spurs fan this is absolutely hilarious no shot we making the play in
This contradicts your boldest predictions video lmao
Memphis is way too high. Mavs should be 2 behind OKC.
My Sixers will be in the playoffs guaranteed. There is no way that a team with 3 stars and a pretty deep bench aren’t making it. Forget the load management for Embiid, we have 2 other all stars anyway
Glazing wemby this hard is fucking Insane
Bro put the Nuggets and 76ers at 6 and 7 even thou Philly got 3. Top 24 players and Nuggets got Murray and Jokic
Grizzlies at 2 is ridiculous people are gonna say that we’re sleeping on em over and over it’s been said to death they’re not going to be a top 4 seed in the west
“Philly not gunna stay healthy enough to win 50 games”
They weren’t healthy last season at all and missed it by 3 games. Now the team is better. They’ll be fine my dude
You just hate the Sixers cause Embed been giving you the business for a decade
Orlando at 3 dang I hope your right we need a Cinderella team😊
Everyone underestimating Philly. They thrive with Embid out out and now have George as well.
East rankings are basically perfect(asuming philly's regular season record gets skewed by injuries) west rankings are also pretty solid,i think it's pretty funny that you said multiple times that clippers will be fine without pg and yet have them ranked 13th,spurs are obviously too high at 7 they're not better than the pelicans or rockets,suns are even a little too high at 8 and denver at 6 is also pretty crazy even if we consider the depth and health concerns
Spurs over the suns is crazy
Bro Miami at 8 is criminal we at least finishing top 5
Said it before and I'll say it again, if Joker plays his normal allotment of games and minutes and everyone else stays relatively healthy the way that they have the last 2 years, the Denver nuggets will be a top four seed. It is complete disrespect to put them at 6 without adding the caveat that you believe Jamal Murray will miss a significant amount of time
Denver is getting underrated again. Remember what happened last time?
Bro overthought the whole list 💀
Your ranking makes no sense because of your previous videos💀
Did he not JUST make a video about how the clips ‘aren’t done?’
I’ll come back when the Lakers win the NBA championship and LeBron hits a clutch shot!!
