Personally, I much prefer it when the rankings are counted down in order, like bottom to top the whole way through. Immediately hearing “OKC at 1” brings way less suspense than hearing a countdown to the #1. Obviously it doesn’t actually matter, I love the content! I just thought it might be interesting to hear feedback of your format.
I love this podcast so much, I've watched every single one, been a fan for a long time, but there is one change yall did that is a real pet peeve for me, can yall please count down instead of count up when doing lists, it just makes more sense, especially for someone like me who can't always watch but instead listen to the podcast. It makes it easier to understand and rationalize rankings by starting from the bottom and working your way up to teams or players that are better and better. Instead of the best of one tier, then worse and worse and worse, then jump up to the best of the next tier, then down and down, it makes it hard to understand the difference between a 10th and 11th spot or 5th and 6th spot
I totally agree, I listen to the podcast while driving and its harder to keep up the way they’ve been doing it. I remember feeling the same last year as well!
This is a very minor thing, but when doing rankings can yall please do 15-11 rather than 11-15? it really doesn’t make sense to go in the order yall do
Donovan doesn't make any sense. Dallas was ranked 1st in Defense in the 2nd half of the Season that carried to the Playoffs, and Luka is ranked 10th in the Playoffs in Defensive Box +/- and ranked 1st in Offense across the Boards and Advanced Stats.
The Mavericks have never been a consistent regular season team. If you live in dallas you know how our teams work. They're best shot is 4/5 and making another playoff run imo.
So your argument is Lukas team was better in the second half of the season? That's half the season so it's kind of fair. Once they do it for a season then I would get into the hater territory
Appreciate Don being against Dallas so I know they’ll have a great year. You’re comparing Dallas being the 5 seed last year when they were heavily injured and Grant Williams and Josh Green were starting on this team. Idk how you can think Memphis and Minnesota are going to be better than them.
@@aarondeatherage7678 Yeah he said he was and rooting against them but still gave them the five seed, gave em playoffs and said he wouldn’t pick them to win. Guess what effect that has? nothing. He’s got an opinion and he walked y’all through it and he got dogged so he does what he does when they dog him. Hates. Y’all get mad that he said Mavs will be successful but not untouchable I guess?

Donavan talking about PJ "saving" Dallas and ignoring that Luka was beat down with injuries. Normally i think his takes are solid, but he's DEAD WRONG about the Mavs 😆 The second half the season and playoffs showed they were a great defense and a good offense
Donnovan is such a Mavs/Luka hater. He definitely is one of those black folks who hate on Luka and Jokic for no reason other than prejudice, so ironic😂💯
@@peewee0224 Yeah. I personally like watching him play. I can see how it'd be annoying to watch if you don't like iso ball or foul baiting. He also talks to the refs too much.
What non Spurs fans don't really understand about the Spurs is that one of their biggest problems last year was that they had 2 of the top 10 worst defenders in the league in their rotation in Malaki Branham and Doug McDermott, and Cedi Osman isn't exactly a strong defender either. Now Castle and Blake Wesley will probably play the minutes Branham would, and we don't have Doug or Cedi anymore. Plus Tre Jones will come off the bench next year, who is a solid defender as well. The Spurs fixed a lot of defensive weaknesses this year and I imagine their identity will be that of a defensive monster with mediocre offense, similar to the Orlando Magic last year. Not saying they'll be the 5th seed, just don't be surprised if they sneak into the play-in past the Rockets, Warriors, Clippers, or even maybe the Lakers if all hell breaks loose.
@@finnrater4812 rockets starters were struggling against the spurs bench and mostly third stringers before they got stupidly hot from 3 and couldn't make a shot. Ik its preseason but i don't think the rockets and spurs are that far apart especially cus i dont think sengun and green end up fitting and one of them likely has to be traded since they both want a max yet neither are that type of players yet. Also the Lakers just had their healthiest season since Lebron has been there besides the bubble, it's highly unlikely Lebron and AD play as many games this year as last year and its also possible we see growing pains with learning reddicks offense it looked fine in preseason but i dont think teams were taking them that seriously besides the warriors
Putting a team like Memphis, who have a thug that gets hurt for a star player, 2 injuries already and barely any depth, putting denver who have been downgraded over the last two year, over the Mavs who went to the finals and upgraded their team from last year is generational level of hate from Don. He can't even back it up. Literally off "vibes".
spurs fan here, so take everything i say with a grain of salt. but imo, the biggest thing that makes me think that they will be more competitive than a lot of others think is how they ended the season. they were able to keep it close with some of the best teams in the league, even beating denver in a game that was VERY important for them (even after the spurs were down 20 at the half). with a more functional rotation (cp3 being a MUCH better playmaker than tre jones, castle has looked amazing through the preseason, mamu and champagnie shooting pretty solidly), i think this team will be able to close out those closer games more consistently. obviously, i dont think theyre going to be pushing for a playoff spot or even a top 8 seed. but i think they can definitely make a push to a 9 or 10 seed, or at least be deep in that conversation.
Not a Spurs fan but agreed on all counts. I personally have them 10th but wouldn't be surprised to see them finish a spot or two higher. I expect a lot of variance at play from 6th to 12th in the west.
Cavs can be the two seed because everyone will be healthy, Mobley will take another decent jump on offense (changed his jumper this off-season), and the big reason is Cavs was one of the top 5 slowest teams. Kenny A, ALWAYS had his team in the top 10, often 7 in pace. Cavs will still be very good on Defense while likely going from 25ish in pace to around 15 in pace on offense. A few extra Buckets a game with a few more 3s will go a varying way
Houston to me feels like a low budget post kawahii, post Lowry raptors before they started tanking. Freddy is Freddy, scoring has gone down a bit. Sengun is Paskal Brooks is like og I guess green is + Freddy is the same as Freddy of old + Garry Trent. Diff is if someone can be the Scottie
As a Mavs fan his only valid point was that Kidd likes to over experiment and that there will be rough stretches where he takes probably longer than we would like for him to solidify his rotations. But at the end of the day this is basically the same team that went to the Finals +Klay but an entire year together as opposed to two months. Idk if I’d have us as high as 2 but 2-4, yea.
7:56 Don is absolutely right. They needed to be as good as they could be and letting PG go, regardless of his mishaps in the playoffs, was a mistake. At this point the goal should’ve just been don’t give OKC crazy picks. They’re doing that. Dumb decision.
Donvon can carry teams to high seeds. He did that with Utah, he did that with cle, and he is good in playoffs too, just his teams don’t do well in playoffs
Hot take: Spurs are going to be a buyer at the deadline and trade with Nets with their flash sale that they will have at the deadline and I think the Spurs will make a run to the 8 seed.
I know y'all ain't say Joel Embiid has been put in positions to win by his front office. Instead of Tatum and Brown they draft Simmons and Fultz, they let Mikal Bridges flip through their fingers, they lose his closest friend on the team Jimmy Butler, they trade for Harden who collapses and abandons the team (right after Ben Simmons did the same two seasons ago). Idk man, that roster has no continuity and I know Embiid deserves some blame, but saying his front office set him up for success is wild
Y’all better pray that the Clippers are not gonna be in the bottom of the west because if they’re in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, then the Thunder are in the Cooper Flag race. Meaning they would have 2 projected top 3 picks in Topic and Flagg on the bench with an already championship caliber team
I know this is with the hindsight of the first week of games but I've thought this all summer, I really really think the Nuggets are not gonna be good this year. I believe Jokic can keep them in the play in but I would be so surprised if they get up to the 3rd seed. I don't think they have anyone outside of Jokic who can consistently play basketball at the level needed to compete with the west
As a spurs fan I completely agree with Isaac. Love love love the moves this year for development and to ensure we stay in a stacked lottery. But this is not a win now team
We not talking about Mo having LeBron (I think Steph as well) way lower in their Valuable Player rankings like 3 weeks ago then in TikTok time he’s switching saying Tatum will never be as good as LeBron and Steph?
You mean the dude that was so bad for the pacers they got rid of him for 3 2nd picks. Then not long after became unplayed for the Sixers so was let him go to the warriors for a single 2nd round pick. Dude will dissapoint you in the next couple months.
@Ozneb_ i was kidding, its just that everyone calls him splash buddy for his good stats in preseason games but he wont do much in the regular season probably. as a warriors fan, i know we are kinda in trouble, but i think we still have a chance of making the play in
I think people focus too much on the spurs record and assume they're awful outside of wemby which just isn't true their starting lineup was good like 17th 16th best last year and when keldon johnson came in that rating jumped up massively and they had a 30 point differential 127 offensive rating and 97 defensive rating. That was one of the best lineups last year and those guys had barely played with each other. The real problem was continuity, vassell missed a ton of games the year before basically half the season sochan only played like 50 games so they barely got to play together only 23 games all together with tre, sochan, Keldon, and Devin the year before wemby. Also a major problem to start the year was lack of spacing no one could consistently hit their shot until the asb where they actually played closer to a .500 team. Another thing is they were one of the worst closing teams leaving almost 15 more games they could've won and the main reason they lost those games were just being young and inexperienced playing with each other. Adding two vets and a top 4 pick to what could've been a 30 win team and i think they could definitely get to 40+ wins if they stay healthy and cp3 can actually play more than 50 games ia definitely in the realm of possibility. We've already seen that happen with Houston who only added FVV and brooks went from 22 wins to competing for the play in
So basically you are telling me the Nuggets lost a key role player, and the Twolves got worse but the Mavs (who filled their biggest need in shooting) are below them? Mo obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about lmfao
@@nuragoat1233 Donnovan is such a Mavs/Luka hater. He definitely is one of those black folks who hate on Luka and Jokic for no reason other than prejudice, so ironic😂💯
it’s not really their fault that their schedule was made the way that it was. so if you’re saying they had a cupcake schedule to end the season that means that they had all their hardest games and stretches before that, before the trade, when they were a worse team, and super super injured, and they still closed out at 50 wins total. They’re a good team.
As a toronto fan We will be 14th or 15th. Det will be higher than us for sure. Between us Brooklyn and was, we will see some ass. Chicago I think will sneaky be 11th. Additionally, toronto has their first 25 games against playoff teams. If they go 8-17, they are gonna try and actively tank from there. Raptors tank is basically rest Scottie. I do think we will win less than 25 games this year.
Donavan sucks... After reminding him Dallas had replaced THJ, Josh Green, and DJJ with Klay, Quentin Grimes, Naji, and Spencer Dinwiddie he still wouldn't admit it's an upgrade...Dallas through those trades and signs obviously improved their offense and depth while the defense remained at the same level 😂 Naji's defense is underrated and DJJ‘s defense is overrated. We now have two decent 3D wingers, an elite shooter who will have a better shooting year after he plays with elite playmaker, Luka, and a center like Dereck Lively who not only can play pick-and-row but also gains the vision to pass the ball out to wide open shooter when he's driving to the rim. Admittedly Jason Kidd sucked before the All-Star because the defensive resources were so limited and Grant William was shooting bricks all the time...However, after the All-Star break when we trade to get PJ and Gafford, we have a more balanced roster. We ended up winning 17 games and only lost a few. After the all-star break, Dallas was ranked No.2 in defense with two players that we all agree can't play defense. Dallas is gonna be just fine on defense of end and I do think Clay is going to play better defense compared to last year. Donavan, I understand why u hate Dallas, we make it to the second round, we "unexpectedly" beat OKC, and reach the Western Conference, and we beat the Timberwolves, 4-1, unexpectedly when everyone thinks the Timberwolves are way better than Dallas and two-opponent that Dallas face in the first and second round. Dallas is a decent team and u hate them for the sake of beating the odds. Ur going to hate Dallas more when we make the top 3 seed in the west.
I think the guys needed to be quiet while don was making his points about the west standings, Minnesota is going to be a great team, as much as people say the trade was stupid. Also Minnesota got worse against Denver after the trade, but improved their matchup against Okc and Dallas
@@jaycob1830 5 feels super low I would bet money on 3 but they are most likely getting bounced in the 2nd round. They just don’t have depth and now with kcp gone their starting lineup is fairly weak.
Luka will not win mvp. Narratives hate him. Media doesn’t like him. Shai is “up and coming” and while isn’t really close to as good is still a top 4 player and will have potentially a ridiculous team(if health luck is similar to last year). Luka will deserve it like last year and it will go to someone else
I didn’t think Luka deserved it last season. Jokic definitely deserved it and it was basically a coin flip who got 2nd. If you want to see real media hate look at Giannas. Only received 1 first place vote and 1 second place vote. The dude was 4 assist a game away from averaging a 30 point triple double on 60 FG% not to mention he’s the best two way player and by far a better defender than Jokic or Luka.
@@Ozneb_ Giannis didn’t win because he played in the weaker conference and his fault or not the Bucks underperformed because of his and dames lack of working together. Jokic won because his team won 7 more games than the 3rd most injured team in the mavs. Jokic is great but Luka was just better. You have to go looking at finicky advanced stats to even argue it. Luka was 1 assist away from averaging a 34 point triple double with a 50 win team while having his team fall apart during the season. He was the mvp
@@deadlylightningspirit4295 Not saying that Giannas should have won mvp but he should have gotten more votes then a single first and second place vote. With all the problems the bucks had such as injuries, dame not fitting in, bad coaching etc, they still finished the 3rd seed. Giannas’s efficiency and defence gets underrated these days and media tend to underplay anything he does. Jokic didn’t just win because his team won 7 more games. It’s was definitely close but there were more reasons for jokic to win. Even just looking at the important traditional advanced stats Jokic leads in majority of them by a large margin. Also the mavs played fine without luka on the court while the nuggets were hopeless when Jokic wasn’t playing. The on-off stats really showed which player was more valuable

Mo ranting about Jaylen Brown forgets that defense is a thing
Maybe you guys will improve on your Mavs prediction this year
Y’all better pray that the Clippers are not gonna be in the bottom of the west because if they’re in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, then the Thunder are in the Cooper Flag race. Meaning they would have 2 projected top 3 picks in Topic and Flagg on the bench with an already championship caliber team
Yall forgot about clutch player of the year and in season tournament champion.
The two most important awards🥲
As a Hawks fan I really hope we get 43 wins 😔🙏
We need the stats on who is more often right in these prediction episodes.
I know this is with the hindsight of the first week of games but I've thought this all summer, I really really think the Nuggets are not gonna be good this year. I believe Jokic can keep them in the play in but I would be so surprised if they get up to the 3rd seed. I don't think they have anyone outside of Jokic who can consistently play basketball at the level needed to compete with the west
gonna come back later this season and laugh at those 3 who obviously didn't follow Warriors closely.
Warriors is 6-10 seed comfortably
Your delusional
10 seed is their ceiling
@@Cpg443 wanna bet?
6-10 is a pretty big range for such a tight conference lol.
@@weixiaozhang1970yes I’ll take on that bet lol 😂 you warriors fans are so delusional. You guys said the same shit last year and what happened?
Damn I guessed PJ Tucker a good 20 seconds before they did
OKC getting Flagg is my worst nightmare tbh so i really hope it doesn't happen. Though tbf the OKC with Flagg may be need to stand up to Wemby.
I was low key rooting for the clippers because of this but damn it might actually happen lol
Naz Reid is a good defender man, bro was locking up Jokic
that suns jersey so fire 🔥🔥
Damn I guessed PJ Tucker about 45 seconds before they did. And I wasn’t even sure he was still on the clippers
Introducing Isaac's new catchphrase: tear me a new one
Is that fit mo’s way of saying he’ll be Catwoman in the next Batman movie?
Since KAT is 'big purrr' this gives more like lil miaw vibes
😂😂😂😂
As a spurs fan I completely agree with Isaac. Love love love the moves this year for development and to ensure we stay in a stacked lottery. But this is not a win now team
I think Mojo was the closest when it comes to the East Stadings
We not talking about Mo having LeBron (I think Steph as well) way lower in their Valuable Player rankings like 3 weeks ago then in TikTok time he’s switching saying Tatum will never be as good as LeBron and Steph?
Warriors like 3rd seed but it’s the start of the season so it ain’t matter
nah you’re underrating steph’s new splash buddy😂
You mean the dude that was so bad for the pacers they got rid of him for 3 2nd picks. Then not long after became unplayed for the Sixers so was let him go to the warriors for a single 2nd round pick.
Dude will dissapoint you in the next couple months.
@Ozneb_ i was kidding, its just that everyone calls him splash buddy for his good stats in preseason games but he wont do much in the regular season probably. as a warriors fan, i know we are kinda in trouble, but i think we still have a chance of making the play in
I think people focus too much on the spurs record and assume they're awful outside of wemby which just isn't true their starting lineup was good like 17th 16th best last year and when keldon johnson came in that rating jumped up massively and they had a 30 point differential 127 offensive rating and 97 defensive rating. That was one of the best lineups last year and those guys had barely played with each other. The real problem was continuity, vassell missed a ton of games the year before basically half the season sochan only played like 50 games so they barely got to play together only 23 games all together with tre, sochan, Keldon, and Devin the year before wemby. Also a major problem to start the year was lack of spacing no one could consistently hit their shot until the asb where they actually played closer to a .500 team. Another thing is they were one of the worst closing teams leaving almost 15 more games they could've won and the main reason they lost those games were just being young and inexperienced playing with each other. Adding two vets and a top 4 pick to what could've been a 30 win team and i think they could definitely get to 40+ wins if they stay healthy and cp3 can actually play more than 50 games ia definitely in the realm of possibility. We've already seen that happen with Houston who only added FVV and brooks went from 22 wins to competing for the play in
TD3 UPLOAD GET THE NEIGHBORHOOD 🎉
So basically you are telling me the Nuggets lost a key role player, and the Twolves got worse but the Mavs (who filled their biggest need in shooting) are below them? Mo obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about lmfao
Coach Kerr will introduce a new winning system again 🙂
Hearing 2 Timberwolves mentioned for 6 man of the year that aren’t naz Reid is kinda wild
Naz will probably start too many games to qualify for it
Mo can just keep hating on Tatum.. Going to be so funny when he wins mvp and another chip. We'll keep the receipts
Never saved a video so fast, oh, Don picking with his feelings of hate 😅😅 they coming for you son
The Mav’s last 15 games only had 4 games against future playoff teams where they went 2-2. They beat Denver and the Heat and lost to OKC twice.
Check who was playing in those games 🤡
@@nuragoat1233 Donnovan is such a Mavs/Luka hater. He definitely is one of those black folks who hate on Luka and Jokic for no reason other than prejudice, so ironic😂💯
it’s not really their fault that their schedule was made the way that it was. so if you’re saying they had a cupcake schedule to end the season that means that they had all their hardest games and stretches before that, before the trade, when they were a worse team, and super super injured, and they still closed out at 50 wins total.
They’re a good team.
Also casually ignoring that one of the OKC losses was literally the last game of the year that nobody gave a fuck about
Luka didn't play in that first OKC game and no one played in the 2nd one
As a toronto fan
We will be 14th or 15th.
Det will be higher than us for sure.
Between us Brooklyn and was, we will see some ass. Chicago I think will sneaky be 11th.
Additionally, toronto has their first 25 games against playoff teams. If they go 8-17, they are gonna try and actively tank from there. Raptors tank is basically rest Scottie. I do think we will win less than 25 games this year.
Donavan sucks... After reminding him Dallas had replaced THJ, Josh Green, and DJJ with Klay, Quentin Grimes, Naji, and Spencer Dinwiddie he still wouldn't admit it's an upgrade...Dallas through those trades and signs obviously improved their offense and depth while the defense remained at the same level 😂 Naji's defense is underrated and DJJ‘s defense is overrated. We now have two decent 3D wingers, an elite shooter who will have a better shooting year after he plays with elite playmaker, Luka, and a center like Dereck Lively who not only can play pick-and-row but also gains the vision to pass the ball out to wide open shooter when he's driving to the rim. Admittedly Jason Kidd sucked before the All-Star because the defensive resources were so limited and Grant William was shooting bricks all the time...However, after the All-Star break when we trade to get PJ and Gafford, we have a more balanced roster. We ended up winning 17 games and only lost a few. After the all-star break, Dallas was ranked No.2 in defense with two players that we all agree can't play defense. Dallas is gonna be just fine on defense of end and I do think Clay is going to play better defense compared to last year. Donavan, I understand why u hate Dallas, we make it to the second round, we "unexpectedly" beat OKC, and reach the Western Conference, and we beat the Timberwolves, 4-1, unexpectedly when everyone thinks the Timberwolves are way better than Dallas and two-opponent that Dallas face in the first and second round. Dallas is a decent team and u hate them for the sake of beating the odds. Ur going to hate Dallas more when we make the top 3 seed in the west.
cleveland running two starting lineups, 24 mins each
Hornets at 9, they lost to the knicks bench guys with their starting lineup.
mo your hating on the magic #justicefororlando
Edit: 1:49:44 Quote Isaac and never let go
What is the white album right of Donovan? Is it scrapyard?
I think the guys needed to be quiet while don was making his points about the west standings, Minnesota is going to be a great team, as much as people say the trade was stupid. Also Minnesota got worse against Denver after the trade, but improved their matchup against Okc and Dallas
Which might be great because Denver’s owner is throwing away jokic prime anyways so you might not have to worry about them
@@peewee0224 I expect them to finish around 5 ish seed, I think 3 is pushing it especially with how inconsistent Jamal Murray is
@@jaycob1830 5 feels super low I would bet money on 3 but they are most likely getting bounced in the 2nd round. They just don’t have depth and now with kcp gone their starting lineup is fairly weak.
@@peewee0224 it’s just their bench is bad, the wolves have arguably the best bench in the league, so I see them definitely finishing above them
Luka will not win mvp. Narratives hate him. Media doesn’t like him. Shai is “up and coming” and while isn’t really close to as good is still a top 4 player and will have potentially a ridiculous team(if health luck is similar to last year). Luka will deserve it like last year and it will go to someone else
I didn’t think Luka deserved it last season. Jokic definitely deserved it and it was basically a coin flip who got 2nd. If you want to see real media hate look at Giannas. Only received 1 first place vote and 1 second place vote.
The dude was 4 assist a game away from averaging a 30 point triple double on 60 FG% not to mention he’s the best two way player and by far a better defender than Jokic or Luka.
@@Ozneb_ Giannis didn’t win because he played in the weaker conference and his fault or not the Bucks underperformed because of his and dames lack of working together. Jokic won because his team won 7 more games than the 3rd most injured team in the mavs. Jokic is great but Luka was just better. You have to go looking at finicky advanced stats to even argue it. Luka was 1 assist away from averaging a 34 point triple double with a 50 win team while having his team fall apart during the season. He was the mvp
@@deadlylightningspirit4295 Not saying that Giannas should have won mvp but he should have gotten more votes then a single first and second place vote. With all the problems the bucks had such as injuries, dame not fitting in, bad coaching etc, they still finished the 3rd seed. Giannas’s efficiency and defence gets underrated these days and media tend to underplay anything he does.
Jokic didn’t just win because his team won 7 more games. It’s was definitely close but there were more reasons for jokic to win. Even just looking at the important traditional advanced stats Jokic leads in majority of them by a large margin. Also the mavs played fine without luka on the court while the nuggets were hopeless when Jokic wasn’t playing. The on-off stats really showed which player was more valuable
@@Ozneb_ I agree Luka should of won and jokic and giannis should of been fighting for 2nd
Luka MVP I’m callin it
You've been calling it for the past 4 seasons too, haven't you? 🤣🤣🤣
Shut up hater, and no. But he should’ve won last year
I agree with don about the mavs! They remind me of the heat
