 What's the word yo, man? I'm super excited because the NBA Finals are sets We have Miami. He versus LA Lakers and I have my dog in here like literally he's sitting. He said He left. Okay. The dog is not in there. Okay. All right. All right, disregard that He's not in here So which is better for us because we don't have to worry about him making noise because he's not in the room Either way, I feel like this channel is just coming to the point where when there's things of my mind NBA related I come and talk about it and I think that's what y'all like, right? I'm gonna say this right now We're gonna be talking about the finals, right? But I will not I Will not be given a prediction Just not who I am. It's not what I do. It's not what I do Because this is why because in the past when I've had made predictions on anything Anything the way it works is if you're right Nobody cares when you're wrong When you're wrong People are digging up the tweets the big the screen caps if I say right now Lakers and six right hypothetically speaking In the Miami he came out in one this series They're gonna be a thousand he fans that they clip me saying Lakers and six and say Kenny you were wrong and though It doesn't matter, you know, I'm saying I'm okay with being wrong I hate when people try to switch the work anyway I'm gonna be talking about matchups and stuff, but I won't be given a final definitive I think this team is gonna win because at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what I think But still watch the video that would that would be something I say still watch the video subscribe I like the video. Okay, so we have a finals it is set Miami he versus LA Lakers First of all, I just want to say thank you to all the people working inside the bubble Because when the season got shut down, there was a legitimate period of time Well, we did not know if we were gonna get to the point where we crowned a champion and we were about to do that So shout out to all the players for being dedicated to playing basketball all the people that are working to do The testing or keeping things safe keeping things Clean shout out to everybody there and shout out to the commissioner for for putting together this magnificent bubble If you really think about it Related to the virus we only had three different mishaps and that is insane That is insane who would have thought that we would have been able to put together How many two hundred three hundred adult people and nobody and only three people make mistakes That's insane first thing we had Rashad Holmes who didn't even know the rules He went off campus to get some some Texas wrote let Longhouse whatever the heck that restaurant is He wanted some steak. He couldn't get steak in the bubble the first week So he tried to go get it and had to go quarantine. Okay first mistake Second one was lemon pepper Lou and though there was hella headlines and stories on on tv and everything that didn't even turn out to be anything That's number two and number three daniel house had to leave the bubble Because he tried to get somebody to come into his room either way those are three just three mistakes that were made So shout out to the players for being dedicated on one common goal of playing basketball and trying to become champions Like we cannot express that enough shout out to them and you shout out to all the workers Thank you thank you thank you because the fans we are appreciative because we got our favorite sport back And though it's it's bittersweet because a yes, we're about to get a champion Um, but basketball is going to stop again. And though we will have off season and stuff We don't know when basketball is coming back. You know like in the regular season. Um, once we crown a champion We know okay season will be back late september early october. We don't have an idea now It won't be this calendar year. They already said that it's going to be early 2021 And part of me is question like okay, so if we here's here's the rambling part We haven't even gotten to the series. Um, if we do start this season early 2021 Will we ever get back to the like September to april late september to april regular season again Well, would the season always play to this point because the only way you get it back on the normal schedule is if you short in the season And I don't think that's a priority of the mbas, bro. They just missed out on six months of ticket revenue They're not short in no season So we could be seeing like a real big shift on our mba season from now on They even they had already talked about this before the virus I'm gonna keep referring to it as a virus because if you say the name you get demonetized And I I do enjoy making money on work Um before the virus they had talked about trying to change the schedule to season So we do play in the in the summer So the virus kind of helped that Let's get to the finals We have the underdog miami heat and I say underdog because they were the five c nobody expected them except for maybe diehard heat fans and jr smith are the only people that expected the heat to make the finals going into the playoffs And then of course the l.a. Lakers. So right now Take my word for this on 538 It is a website that I like to go to because I find it interesting to look at event stats and things like that I don't take event stats as face value, but I think they're very interesting to look at right A 538 is a website that goes into not just sports. I think they have a politics section Anyway, I look at the basketball related stuff and they have this raptor raptor player model whatever the heck that means and they have percentages They're saying that the miami heat are a 73 favorite to win this finals 73 percent And the lakers of course if you do a math leaves them at 20 27 percent um That is baloney That that is that is crazy to think that the heat are that much of a favorite I mean if you think the heat are going to win this championship, that's fine But to think that they are a 73 favorite to win the series is kind of ridiculous, right? And then they have another metric that's called the eloy Um only eloy. I messed with his eloy Jimenez go isox But this one has the the lakers at a 55 percent and the heat at a 45 percent And I think that is a lot more um that's a better spread than the other one I'm speaking of spreads going into game number one. The lakers are of five point favorite So that lets you know that this raptor thing is kind of weird and They actually had the bulls making the playoffs before the season started And then uh since that moment when they lied to me is when I stopped believing in their advanced stats, honestly Um, I think this series boils down to the age old question of stardom versus depth The lakers have the top two stars And the miami heat undoubtedly have the more the more depth I mean we just saw andrew eagle dollar come in and look like Shoot, I don't even look like his former teammate clay Thompson Because I can't even say look like pass iggy because pass iggy still wouldn't hit a threes like that Let's be honest with each other. So you look like clay Thompson on offense and defense So they undoubtedly have the depth but the lakers have the top two players when you really think about going into this season And I think I've mentioned this before on on one of these these videos how like espa and all these other big publications Had I think five or six teams ahead of the lakers when it came to who is the favorite to win the championship before the season started That is ridiculous I mean again, yes, they were they were major question marks for these lakers team and and I Was one of those people that had major question marks But to think that there were six or five or six teams they had a higher chance than a lebron la team with anthony davis It's crazy We talk about two top I don't know. What do you want to put any davis top five top six? I don't even know Let's be generous. Let's just be top 10. They have two top 10 players Even though I think davis is higher than top 10 that alone should be enough for you to be one of the favorites And people people on the twitterverse Things like that. We all knew that the lakers are going to be good. I don't know how the heck these writers and experts can Anyway, that's maybe I'm just maybe hindsight is is 2020 Basically what I'm saying is if you have two top whatever players on the team We're regardless regardless of your depth You're shooting and your defense because those are the three major questions I went back to watch a lot of those those clips when people were trying to predict the lakers They're bigger biggest questions where the depth and honestly the depth is still kind of a question mark And they're in the finals and it's still a question mark Who's that third best player and it sometimes just rondo, I guess sometimes it's the white howard, I guess I mean, I don't really know Um, so depth is still kind of a question mark Especially in comparison to their team that they're going against who has who's like 10 players deep that you can Trust on a championship roster, which is crazy Um depth three point shooting has come around a little bit Early bubble man, they were shooting like 25 percent from three and that is not the case anymore. So shout out to Kitevi's car will pope Fan lakers fans wanted his neck But now he's looking decent Danny green still ain't put it together as far as shooting the ball goes Shout out to rondo rondo turned into his former teammate ray allen in the playoffs playoffs rondo He's just a three-point specialist now So the three-point thing has simmered down and the defense is something they nipped in the bud immediately when the season started um, I read an article I'm gonna stop saying that I listened to a podcast Listened to a podcast and reading articles you sound so much you sound so much better saying I read an article, right? I listened to a podcast because i'm lazy um And basically was saying that lebron looked at this roster and and went all in on the defensive side of the ball this season And and really got his team to go in on the defensive side of the ball and it's worked out They were one of the top defenses in the league So two of the question marks are still kind of there, but the defense is certain They are an elite defensive team cool But even with all of that considered when you have lebron james who for the most part We can agree is still the best player in the league. I would hope and then anthill davis You know, you would expect him to be good Either way as a fan for me as an outside fan no matter who wins this series. I'm going to be happy Right literally right on the left side of me here I have a big poster of jimmy butler as you know as a bulls fan jimmy butler is one of my guys drafted him where he did And watching his growth is amazing. And if you watch the main channel, you know, bam out of bio is one of my guys as well Think about bam out of bio He went from his rookie season and we saw glimpses of course that he was going to be a solid NBA player But you're wondering when would he put it together? Will he ever be able to put it together for an extensive period of time Then second year came around has sound white side has some situations where there'd be an injuries or whatever It was just games where the sound white side wasn't playing and Bam looked good So I understood this offseason when they got rid of a sound white side and gave bam out of bio the keys And then but even that considered like if you go back to watch my early prediction video Which is funny because I just mentioned how I don't like to do predictions One of my earliest prediction videos somebody's like the heat would be the eight seed and they'll surprise the people I was like no that team will be a top four I mean technically I guess I was wrong because they ended up being a five seed I was like they were going to be a top four team in the east and bam is my pick for most improved player Even though he was my pick for most improved player going into the season I still did not see him jumping up to the point where he's jumped up now He went from a backup last season to if this war a war was given out He would have been the eastern conference finals mvp easily easily was the best player for the miami heat this series Crazy that is crazy growth and when you listen to pat riley and again I'm saying listening because I don't read articles. So if you don't have somebody reading your article for you I won't read. I won't get the knowledge from it That just sounds terrible Uh, one of the reasons he he draft the bam on a bio is because of his work ethic And it sounds very simple right it sounds very simple. I got a guard. I got it works hard. Cool But bam worked harder than a lot of people in that draft class and he dropped to where he dropped and boom Here he is on the brink of superstardom So one of my biggest questions Oh on the Laker side of the ball why I would be okay if they won the series because anthony davis is chicago And one of the biggest knocks on him coming into the season was like he's never been able to do it on the main stage He made it to the playoffs a few times and he got out the first round once But it was drew holiday and rizan rondo carrying him And though drew holiday and rizan rondo did an amazing job guarding cj and dame Anthony davis definitely had a good series too. So I didn't really understand that But now we've seen him Be the number one option on a team that is going to the championship And I'm saying that for the most part because he's getting a lot of shots, you know LeBron is still the guy Um, and he hit the biggest shot of his career in the west of converse finals to the game winner called game Ladies and gentlemen, he called game if you know, you know So seeing that seeing rondo a lot of bulls fans hate rondo from the previous series We played against him and then he came to chicago and was just do to um But I still do like rondo and the white howard is a player that I would be happy to see Win a championship as well. So no matter who wins the series. I'm happy from different reasons, but either way One thing that that's I think the eric sposers got his hands The full width is how they play with this double big lineup that the lakers run Because the heat don't have a big lanky defender um Other the bad amount of bio really as far as like guardings fours and fives I mean they run the lineup of eggy j crowder. These are guys. They can guard fours. We've seen them do it before um But like the lakers run javeo meggy and anthony davis anthony davis the white howard I just don't know how they defend that i'm sure they'll figure it out because it's eric sposers He's one of the greatest coaches in the league and they have they have smart defenders too, but it's something that i'm very i'm questioning Um, I saw somebody asked me on twitter. Will we see eggy lock up lebron again? No probably not Because even locking up lebron was still crazy good numbers and yes, he did shoot What'd y'all say 35 percent when he was guarded by eggy he's not can't guard him for 48 It's just let's just be honest with each other eggy can't guard it for 48 So lebron is still going to have a series um And he he showed that like in the last elimination game versus the nuggets He's like i'm not going to let them have any hope to come back three one again And for the last couple minutes in the video man, he was looking at dominate again Which is beautiful, which is beautiful So eggy's going to get a lot of assignment there jimmy buddler's going to get a lot of assignments there j crowd is going to get it because j crowd has actually played him pretty well throughout the course of their careers too so Um lebron is not going to have any easy minutes by any means But it's also lebron james You know, it's also lebron james I just believe that as long as anthony davis is on the court The miami heat are going to have to have the amount of bio on the court have to Because there's none of their backup bigs can do anything with anthony davis at least in my eyes Maybe somebody surprises me. Maybe the fire hydrant of a player. It's solid and he'll surprise. I don't know But I feel like their minutes are going to have to be matched because they don't have anybody else to guard anthony davis Overall, I am super excited for this series. I cannot wait. I think we have two days of no basketball Which is kind of trash, but it is what it is. I know that they need their rest Man, was that ray two nickels? Why does she ask eric's post about lebron three seconds after the buzzer? Can we I like eric's poster's response. Can we just let these guys celebrate for a little bit and we'll talk about game plan after tonight Look, come on, bro. Let's Let these boys celebrate. I mean they came out of nowhere. There's one at eastern congress final So let them celebrate talk about matchups the next day. We got two days in no basketball. I'm sure they're gonna do some press Ask them them And that is my ramble about the series Um, let's hope that it goes a long series because I'm not I'm not ready to get rid of basketball especially since we don't know We don't know when basketball comes back Early 2021 whatever that means that january is that February is that more? I have no idea All right. That's it. Uh Called game if you got to the part of this video just spam called game in the comment section because you're a legend. Thank you
