And this is just the first full season with Haliburton! Their future looks great.

Me neither, I'm just guessing!

What Does This Mean?

@@4thQuarterP the ranking i gave the cast an 8 out of 10

So you take two games of extremely good players going for high numbers and decide to disregard all else in favor of your opinion formulsted off 2 games???? Are you slow or just not well versed in bball?

@@Fugitiv3.This!

Valid, now I will say that great defenders can have great performances dropped on them. Here we speak on two specific examples and seeing how a player like Alex Caruso also had 71 dropped on him by Donnovan Mitchell or Devin Booker dropping 70 against Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown shows that generational scorers will find a way to get the ball into the basket. I will say that his weight is a topic of conversation, but also at his size it is harder to put on weight. So for Wemby we just can't use 2 games to decribe his season when he has been phenomenal all year.

Wemby didn’t really defend hi during that game, most of the point were on other players

I mean my argument clearly stated that the reason why I consider Wemby the DPOY was due to his team having a terrible perimiter defense. It is contrary for the Timberwolves, in which Rudy Gobert is surrounded by great perimiter and help defenders. This means that apart from being good himself at perimiter defense Wembanyama also is the biggest reason as to why the Spurs are not dead last in defensive rating. They send everybody to him and he carries the heaviest defensive load in the league.

I believe they are amazing. They look really good I just want to see how Anthony Edwards performs being the number #1 option when his team is a contender.

@@4thQuarterP If his hips and ankles hold up, ANT should be okay, I believe. Same with Towns.

@@user-do1kk7cp9f Yeah the problem is he suffered a pretty nasty leg injury today. I hope he is fine and has a speedy recovery.

Booker played great but Luka is different.

Yeah, they put on a show.

I did mention the Blazers and Wizards. The only thing is that what they are doing this season is a continuation of what they did in the previous. They are both teams which want draft picks and are looking to build teams around a star player. They both have a few promising players but not enough firepower to execute what they want. The reason why I did not mention the Jazz is because I was only looking at teams outside of the Play-In Tournament.

Facts!

They should have!

Westbrook has been playing well. He's been amazing on defense, hits open threes, is aggresive and has carried the bench unit when Harden rests. I think they have him in the perfect role right now.

@@4thQuarterP very ironic that Harden was taking the bench unit while they played for OKC so now Westbrook can carry the second squad when they are in LA. Is it only me or these 2 had their careers intertwined? From same team to friendly rivalry for the MVPs to again teammates. Kinda cute ngl wonder if they are cool with each other offcourt

@@rolandorban6248 Yes, and now they are succeding again. I believe that the Clippers have revatilized their careers and shown their tru value. I can't believe they were almost out of the league.

W

Thanks!

You Think It's Crack?

Yeah, I know, sorry about that I will try to fix it. Thanks for the observation!

Yeah and I hope he can back up his words. I still don't agree with the treatment of his teamates.

The teams are getting fined not the players.

Really?, Even at full strenght do you believe the world is not scared of the USA?

@@4thQuarterP yup, you have to just admit that the rest of the world has caught up with the US and the fear of playing against the US is no longer a thing for them anymore. I tell you a time will come when even with the best players US would struggle to win bronze at olympics

@@raphaelbinitie1960 I agree for the world cup but I have to see it happen in the olympics before I say that the world has caught up to them.

Yes! I believe that we should praise both teams for making it into the finals. They both played great and we have to celebrate their achievements.

I love them too. They really saved basketball and the NBA. Goats 🐐 of the game!

The investigation had not finished. I believe he retired because if the league did find that he was a Celtics fan and was responding to fans on burner accounts then it would have tarnished his legacy. The NBA stopped the investigation due to his retirement so I believe that he wants to keep a good job reputation for the future.

In my opinion since basketball does not have another yearly "World Championship" them why should we not consider it the world champioship as it includes the Worlds best stars.

An NBA Championship IS NOT the same as a WORLD Championship! Why is this concept so hard to comprehend!ROTFLH!😭😂😝🤣

Why?

I know but also you have to realize that there is no real world champion of basketball like there is of other sports. The NBA is the only place where we get to see people from the entire world compete and until we get a yearly basketball world cup with the teams from the different basketball leagues around the world then there will never be a world cup of basketball.

Come on man! You’re missing the whole point of what he’s saying! I blame the American Education System for this! This is insane that this is even up for debate!😭😝😂🤣

@@michaeldevereux9208 Just because it is situated in America does not mean it can not be the world championship?

@@4thQuarterP Come on man! If Denver and Miami for the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP, How can they be considered WORLD CHAMPIONS! Both of these teams are in the US! Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?! Geez! SMDH!😭😝😂🤣

@@michaeldevereux9208 Go watch JxmyHighroller's video on the subject. He explains my point pretty well and makes a better case than I can make through a comment section.

Same!

I understand the PED allegations but if that is the case then you can't talk about anyhting from before 1983 since the drug policy wasn't added. Also that Lebron has been 2nd in defensive player of the year voting twice and has made 6 All Defensive teams. So we can't really talk about Lebron as a bu when he has proved himself in every way.

You taking the Rockets spread?

Because they would go into a rebuild and restabilize their assets. They lost a-lot in the Harden, Irving, and Durant saga. This would put them back into building through the draft as many star players are not looking to leave their franchises currently.

​@@4thQuarterPthey cant do that obviously. They traded their draft picks to Houston. Unless they get those picks back, they aint trading him. Lol. Youre diminishign your credibility, sir. If you have any sense you will delete this video and save yourself from further humiliation.

@@gemmy987 But they can get draft picks from other teams. They are never going to get back what they traded for Harden but Mikal Bridges is worth at least 2 first round picks if he keeps playing like he played with Brooklyn last season. This means that trading Mikal and Irving would put them in a position to have draft picks for the future. I'm not saying they are getting what they gave back.

@@4thQuarterP If they do not have their own draft picks, THEY CANNOT TANK! It would be ridiculous. They must stay competitive. Period. Mediocre draft picks from other teams who are not tanking are most often not worth it. They cannot go all in on a rebuild unless they either (1) get their draft picks back, or (2) they have no hope of staying competitive. Right now, they have hope to stay competitive, so your argument is premature.

@@gemmy987 But tanking also includes trading your assets away for other peoples picks which would automatically make you a bottom of the league team. The whole point of the video is saying that they would trade him for the assets they get back which would make them be a horrible team.

Me too! They have been a great franchise and I hope the best for them. I do believe that Lauri is a star in the making. Let's see next season!

Yes I agree. Also that his defense when it comes to guarding opposing players full-court is something to marvel at. I was sad the Lakers lost him because he was good for their style of play but I do believe he is a great PG. (I am not a Lakers fan)

🤣🤣🤣🤣

What are you talking about? It's one photo for the whole duration...a photo is not a video

@@pauljiltsov9950 Oh I thought you were saying that it was not a video. What do you suggest for the video?

@@4thQuarterP highlights of the nuggets would be great. Or even overall highlights

@@pauljiltsov9950 The problem I found with that is having to use other people's videos. But if that is not a problem then I will start using them.

No, because I had said in my video that they had a great foundation but even making the playoffs is not enough for the Clippers. The problem with the Clippers is that they have set a championship or bust expectation every year. This makes it very hard to look at any of their seasons except 2021 as a positive. They have a well built team but they need their starts to achieve their goal.

Yeah but also we have to take into cosideration that KAT was hailed to be a generational talent when he came into the league and they have only made the playoffs 3 times with him and won a total of 4 playoff games in those matchups. I am saying this not to hate on the Timberwolves just to look at what they have done now with two #1 overall picks now that they got a thrid one.

@@4thQuarterP What have any number 1 overall picks (currently in the league) done for their franchises outside of Lebron? Rose was great but got injured. Zion has injury problems. Cade and Paolo are unknowns. Anthony Bennett and Greg oden were busts. John wall was good but never took the wizards anywhere. Kyrie Irving has been great, but he hasn’t won anything by himself, and now he kind of seems like a crazy person. Ben Simmons has flamed out horribly. Blake Griffen was good, but never the number 1 on a championship team. Also after his athleticism dwindled so did he. Anthony Davis needed Lebron to win one, which is fair, but he also is injured every other game. Markelle Fultz was a bust. Ayton is ok, but no where near better than luka. I didn’t mention Wiggins, but he has proven to be a good role player. Nowhere near as good of a talent as advertised. The point I’m making is that if you want to pick on Minnesota, that’s fine. But almost every other number 1 pick was either over hyped, or dwindled in production after injuries or their athleticism left. I’d argue that Anthony edwards has been developed better than Every player on this list. In fact he’ll be the same age Derrick rose was next year when rose won mvp. I know it’s easy to blame front offices, and I do agree with you. Front offices are to blame for a lot of players not developing. But targeting Minnesota is the wrong move here when I argue they’ve developed their number 1 picks better than 90% of the league over the last 15 years.

@@noyou113 Yes I know but also situation matters. There are a lot of bad #1 overall picks but that is also determined by how your franchise runs the team. Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving are perfect examples of this. We have seen them be able to win championships and average phenomenal stats in the finals but they could not do that without some type of star next to them. Of course that is an extreme example because they got Lebron but what I am trying to say is that there is a gravity to the #1 overall pick in which a franchise puts the trust that they will be league altering superstars. We can see this as it has created some of the best players ever like Lebron, Kareem, O'Neal, Magic, Duncan, Iverson, Russell, Olajuwon... The only thing I am saying is that through patterns in history this is Minnesotas 2nd #1 pick and they still struggle to make the playoffs every year. I am in no way hating on Minnesota but from what they have shown even recently through the Gobert trade is that they need better decision making in their franchise.

@@4thQuarterP The Gobert trade is fine. People love to hate it. I won’t argue it as a good trade, but I will argue that Minnesota is in a good spot. They have arguably the best young star duo in ant and mcdaniels, and 2 all nba big men they can easily trade and get assets for if they want to pivot at any time. They own every other draft pick and by the time ant enters his prime in 6 years they will own all of their picks. Gobert fits in kats timeline, and honestly we never got to see those two play together. I will suspend judgement on that duo until we actually see it. Kat missed 60 games and wasn’t himself in the first 20 that he did play. Kat missed training camp with an illness in which he lost 20 pounds of muscle. The version of kat we saw last year was not the kat we saw the year before. As for Gobert he had a knee injury he picked up playing in European basketball and was playing hurt all season long. We saw the worst version of Gobert and kat, and people want to flame the trade. I say give it a chance. As for the Timberwolves they were down they’re best defender and best bench player against the nuggets and still gave them their toughest matchup in the playoffs. I think Timberwolves are in a good spot, and they can pivot at any time. Players like cafe Cunningham, jalen green, Scottie Barnes, and lamelo ball are all the same age as ant, and none of them even made the playoffs. Timberwolves are fine.

@@noyou113 I agree I just hope that they don't become too in-love with this roster and can make changes according to how they see it. Something that I ask now is would you guys trade for Harden?

Definitley in my opinion a Kyle Lowry/Chris Paul would fit them perfectly. Someone who can be a vet but still distribute the basketball.

What?

Thank You!

But of course it was easy to jump the gun when they did the same thing last year. I post videos everyday so my fans get to see my opinions as they grow with how the league changes and new moves are made. So you saw me be down on the Suns but now I am very high on them. I say all of this to say that it was hard to imagine a world where the Suns got depth as they made a similar trade last year and it left them with no depth. I am sorry for being reactionary and I hope the suns succeed!

And I agree. CP3 got injured and the Suns still took 2 games from the Nuggets which went on to win the championship. Imagine if instead of having Chris Paul be injured due to age you could have 20 - 25 PPG from Bradley Beal in that playoff series. I like the move.

What would recommend I add?
