Bro Bucks Vs Celtics playoffs is going to be insane 🤯 hopefully everyone is healthy 🙏

Nobody talking about this season is going to be the craziest season of all time. I don’t remember any season having this kinda hype and unpredictable outcome

What a trade! The Celtics have got defenders and shooters around Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. As long as no *major* injuries take place Bucks v Celtics will be one of the best series in the last 5 years.

Wow Jokic, Murray and Gordon suddenly became an afterthought when it comes to big 3

Holiday was brutal in the playoffs and always has been except for one year, and he is 33.

This move is interesting because trading away a young player and picks for a 34 year old feels kind of tough with 2 young stars. It better work out

All these trades getting me so hyped for the season

you are such an amazing person for putting that bar at the bottom during the sponsorship

As a Milwaukee resident we still aren’t worried 🥱

thank you for making these videos kinda short, just enough to watch on my 10 min break at work 🙏

As a Celtics fan I was sad to see time Lord go but what we got in return was beyond perfect!

76ers and Heat need to somehow make a move, they look to be in trouble

One of your best video Casey , so much insights & analogies that’s interprets these moves very well

Hats to you Casey for uploading every time there is NBA updates.

I LOVE AM HOOPS I LOVE YOUR CONSISTENCY IT REMINDS ME OF THE 5 UPLOADS A DAY ERA SUCH GOOD TIMES ❤❤❤😢😢😢

I still feel Tatum has the most pressure this year to get it done

Appreciate you for uploading twice in one day!

I love am hoops videos because he explains exactly what I what to hear

3:48 THE NUGGETS DAMMIT. No way Jokic+Murray+MPJ are worse than Ant+Gobert+Towns

PG Holiday, SG Brown, SF Tatum, PF Horford, C Porzingis, 6 man White. Bucks vs Celtics gonna be a matchup to watch

Casey your videos are on another level, being a supporter of AM Hoops since Day 1 you came a long way bro. Super Proud of you, keep killing it my man! Michael Carrozza

Dame said he wanted to comeback until portland finalizes a deal with miami, which of course unfair to the blazers. Cronin did good to Dame as well for sending him to a legit contender this season.

Rob was never the primary defender on Embiid/Giannis/Joker... it was Horford guarding with Rob used as weakside help... but now with Porzingis, Rob's role was going to be changed even more... so while it hurts, the deal does make sense

Keep up the great vids my guy

Casey working overtime rn 😂. Thank you!

So excited to have Jrue Holiday on the Celtics

Keep up the work man you’ve been killing it love it

hey the bar at the bottom of the screen during the ad is a huge W! thanks man!!

great trade for the Celtics but getting rid of Robert Williams might've been severely bad but man Bucks Vs Celtics in the East finals for real is going to be INSANE

Love this guys passion and energy. You can tell he lives for this shit! haha Keep goin bro 👍🏽

These uploads been 🔥

Not 1.. but 2 videos on sunday ?😭🔥 we lit😭🔥thank you

It really stings as a Blazer fan that Dame wanted back and we had to tell him no. It just doesnt make sense for him to be on this team anymore. Scoot is the guy at point guard going forward. We're going young. Just sucks that it kinda ended like that. I'll always love Lillard. Hope he gets a ring (or two) with the Bucks

I think a key point is being missed Dame has Giannis Middleton and Lopez he's never had that I'm leaning towards the bucks in a match up against the Celtics

Happy for Jrue. He’s still on a contending team !!!

Great video Bruz I love that your a GM CRONIN FAN...comment of the day !

As a diehard Cs fan, losing both Marcus Smart *and* Rob Williams III really, really hurts. They were both scrappy and brought heart to the team. Don't get me wrong, I love our starting 5 right now. It just stings...

Scoot, Simons, Sharpe, Grant, Williams and Ayton. Looks solid to me. They could be a play-in team this season.

2 vids on Sunday, love it

2. Videos from am in one day = good day

Pretty risky to depend on only 2 bigs with Porzingis getting hurt every year and Horford up there in age and looked pretty awful in the playoffs last year.

As a clippers fan i can’t believe we missed on him 😒💔 Dammm

HOT TAKE I THINK CELTICS ACTIVELY GOT WORSE Celtics overreacted with the Jrue trade because they got afraid of Dame, and their matchup against the Bucks. But in that trade they depleted their paint defense and overall inside presence as well as got rid of virtually any scoring from the bench. They looked at the 2018 playoffs and Jrue "locking up Dame". The thing is Jrue didn't "lock him up". He was fantastic and guarded him like his life was on the line, but it was more of a team effort. AD, Rondo, and Jrue locked him up. NOT JRUE ON HIS OWN. In 2022 they guarded Giannis amazingly because they had Grant, Al, and Timelord and they still needed to double or triple-team him in the playoffs while Giannis still averaged 34/15/7 On top of that, the only reason they were able to double and triple-team Giannis in the paint was because they could sag off on the perimeter. Jrue was struggling as a 2nd option (granted he was assigned the toughest matchup defensively making him depleted) Grayson was straight ass, could not create a shot for himself if his like was on the line, and Bucks' only ISO scorer and best shooter from beyond the arc was out. THEY TOOK THEM TO 7 DESPITE THAT Boston lost their best Giannis defender in Grant Williams this off-season. They lost their only true center in Timelord. They lost 6MOTY Malcolm Brogdon and DPOY Marcus Smart but got in return Jrue. After the trade, they arguably have just as good of a perimeter defense as before (definitely better with the one-on-one matchups as Jrue is better in that regard than Smart but that's beside the point), but gotten significantly worse inside this off-season. C's defense will be very stretched against a team like the Bucks when Khris, Dame, Pat/Beasley, Brook, and Giannis are on the floor. You need at least one person to guard each one of these guys as each one can shoot (aside from Giannis). Best case scenario you sag off on Pat or Beasley and you just hope that they don't have a good shooting night. This same thing applies to a team like The Nuggets or 76ers (if they trade Harden for something significant) When Giannis / Jokic / Embiid drive into the lane you need to either double-team them or triple-team them (depending on your defensive personnel). That strategy works just fine IF THE TEAM HAS NO SHOOTERS OR THOSE SHOOTERS STRUGGLE MAJORLY. You cannot do that with a team like The Nuggets that have Murray, MPJ, and KCP, or The Bucks with Dame, Khris, and Brook on the floor. I would even argue you can't do that with teams like the Cavs, Lakers, Kings, or Heat. The amount of teams with good offensive centers or power forwards in the EAST ALONE is crazy. (Bucks, 76ers, Cavs, Knicks, Heat, Magic) Why would Boston bank on Al Horford and Tingus Pingus to be a dominant defensive backcourt is beyond my understanding of the game. On top of that THEY HAVE NO FUCKING BENCH. Boston has virtually no scoring from the bench. The only guy on that roster who will not be starting and can average 10 points is Derrick White. So in case he turns into 6MOTY and starts going for 20 to make up for the loss of Brogdon, I have no idea who will be their bench scorer. Al Horford can't reliably guard dominant bigs like Giannis / Jokic / Embiid (he's 37 for fucks sake). He needs a second guy to help him and keep him reasonably fresh for the playoffs. KP could have been that guy if he never blew up his ACL. He is big, can play center, and is a decent shot blocker (he's 7'3 it would be a miracle if he wasn't) but he is a glass cannon and overall not that good of a defender either. The only reason he is regarded as one is because he is 7'3 and shocker, it's hard to get around a guy like that in the paint. Both of these guys can get injured and miss the playoffs. Horford will be 38 by the time ECF rolls. There was only a handful of players in HISTORY to play meaningful minutes at age 38. There is no indication that KP will suddenly not be injury-prone and have a stellar season. If they bank their chances of stopping those bigs with a glass knee tingus pingus and a center that was born when the USSR was still around and Ronald Regan was in office. Then I like the chances of everyone else. Boston's perimeter defense will be fantastic. But they have no inside presence to reliably guard dominant bigs. Their defensive personnel diminished like crazy and their bench unit is virtually non-existent at this point without a scoring punch from there. They are relying on 37-year-old player and a notorious health avoider Tingus Pingus to be a dominant backcourt and anchor their defense in the paint. The only thing they have going for themselves right now is the amazing scoring duo in the starting lineup and great perimeter/wing defense as well as great spacing on offense IF KP IS HEALTY I DON'T BUY THAT

You quick af, the news just dropped couple of hours ago damn 😂😭

Man, lots of videos this week! Casey’s been a busy man

all this just for jokic to go back to back 😭

If there weren't Eastern and Western Divisions, this could possibly be the Finals matchup.

looking forward to the Portland outlook video

I love this trade adds depth and sets the blazers for life and the Celtics become stronger with this trade.

Celtics vs bucks 2024 ecf gonna be a movie 🔥🔥🔥

2 AM HOOPS VIDEOS ON A SUNDAY???? BRO THIS SUNDAY LIT

when i saw this i have been waiting for this

Jokic, Murray, AG. I love me some Jrue Holiday, but its hard for me to put him in that category edit: Jrue's good/popular enough to get a sig shoe tho imo

Giannis and Lillard as a duo in paper are unstoppable no team can guard them giving they are healthy They are the closest think to Kobe and Shaq we’ve seen in 25 years

Wow. Right after I watched your Dame and Jrue video 😮

I'm done checking bleachor report and hoop hype for NBA rumors and news. I'm only checking this guy's channel out for news. Thanks for the video. Hope my sixers trade Harden very soon

If you count Jokic, Murray and Gordon as big 3, then they're still the best.

“…All they have is senior citizen Al Haford”😂😂😂

w bro two post in one day

off topic: I love your channel lol

The 2023 - 2024 NBA season is going to be crazy.

Bucks are still the favorites but Boston comes close the East will be a battle between those 2 teams. The pick and roll with Dame and Giannis is INSANE and I have bet money on them winning a ring

Don't forget Jrue can guard bigs too. He is very strong and has held his own against bigs before

I think during the NBA bubble, Dame did an interview and was asked who he thought the toughest defender in the NBA was. He answered Jrue Holiday. Should be some great games this year. As a Celtics fan, I've wanted Jrue Holiday for a few years because I felt that his well-rounded approach to the game is a perfect fit next to Tatum and Brown. He can score when he needs to, he can make the game easier for them by initiating. He can play elite defense against the opposing ball handler...basically he's a guy that can do everything needed to take pressure off the Jays. If Tatum also takes a step forward as a playmaker, the Boston offense should be great this year. Defense may be problematic against a traditional big man, but I think Boston has enough perimeter firepower and athleticism to run most traditional bigs off the floor.

With Dray’s injury, that could move CP in as a starter now.

Lakers/suns and Bucks/celtics gonna be crazy conference finals 🔥🔥🔥

2:33 Yep; you did not fully watched that series. Cause Tatum and Rob played amazing defense on Butler as well.

This trades are insane!!!

Bucks vs Celtics is finally a fair and competitive match up!!!!!!

I still think Bucks big 3 is better than Phoenix and Celtics because of defense. This season is gonna be good

The Nuggets' Jokic, Murray, and either Gordon or MPJ easily deserves top 5 big three. I get it that you're trying to go with a definitive top three guys, but if they aren't elite enough to top the three best on other teams, you can't really call them "big three".

two AM Hoops videos today!

Yooooo I am a bucks fan and Jrue is my fav player in the league. I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL😢

Wouldn't it be amazing if the Heat had a mediocre regular season and then knocked off the Bucks and Celtics on the way to another Finals?

I had no idea that Dame came back with the "I take it back" move. Not a clue. As a Blazers fan... I am only hearing about this right now. That's adorable he pulled the child's move and got told "no takebacksies!" Freaking hilarious. Dude remade his bed so many times all while demanding he wouldn't budge and redo it again this offseason, only to go to the apex of immaturity and be like, "so uhh... listen, about that trade thing... can we just pretend that and everthing else never happened? Lemme stay, pretty pwese?" Honestly, good f**king riddance, Dame. Also "Senior Citizen Al Horford" was hilarious and wild! Having remembered him getting drafted, it really doesn't seem like that long ago. CRAZY!

Best KZfaqr ever

As a Heat fan, this is scary 😭😭😭

What about Zion (when healthy), Brandon, CJ for big 3?

The one aspect fans and even analysts are forgetting is an important piece of the puzzle. Of all the contending teams in the NBA, Tatum and Brown are the only stars still ascending. Every year they've been in the league they've gotten better, and are just about to enter their primes now. No other stars are still raising their scoring, rebounding, and assists yearly for contending teams like them. If they both make another leap with this team, it'll be banner number 18, 19, and 20! Remember this take!

C - Porzingis PF - Tatum SF - Brown SG - White PG - Holiday This first 5 is 🔥

If AM is doing 2 vids in one day, it has to be vital

Wasnt Williams the reason Giannis was having difficulty in the paint? Who will be guarding Giannis now?

This is very excited to watch let's see if damn will not be a champion he is a very good defender what ba freak this is the missing piece to be a champion if Boston good luck 🤞 Cel ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

The Portland Trail Blazers owner has balls of steel and I respect that man for standing on his principles and telling Damian Lillard hey look we don't care how beloved u are u wanna be somewhere where you're loved we loved u an u didn't appreciate us u demanded a trade see u later buddy! This Portpand trail blazers has a bright future brighter than they've had over the last decade with Lillard

The blazers are winning in this offseason getting so much from dame. Excited to see what happens to the blazers.

The Celtics have a big 3? Nah, that's a big 4. I think Porzingis had an 'All-Star' - level season last season. I do understand that his health is a major priority to make this work.

Oh okay, I remember so well what you've said during last year's playoffs that the Miami vs Bucks series is the easiest to predict. Counting out the Heat again. We'll see.

Can't wait for the Jrue Dame matchups

Dame only wanted to stay in Portland to give them time to make a deal, not to stay.

now the heat really dont got a chance 😭

Bro uploaded 2 vids in one day. That’s crazy
