 What is up everybody? Olivia Moody here. This is Fandals hurry up and I am joined by Tom Vecchio Fandal analysts to talk a little bit about three teams that he has either making or missing the NBA playoffs this year Tom, thanks for joining me. Thanks for having me You know the NBA is a week away. We might we might as well talk about some futures So let's jump in absolutely So the first one that I saw that you have is Hawks to make the playoffs at minus one twenty two Now while I agree with you, I would love to hear your thoughts This is a team we didn't get to watch in the bubble So we haven't seen them playing quite a bit. So I want to know where do you see the value in this team this year? Yeah, so the Hawks are a team I think a lot of people are expecting to take a step forward this year another you know year of Development for Trey young and getting John Collins fully into lineup, of course He was suspended last year for 20-25 games, but more importantly, I think they made the right moves in the offseason Kind of shoring up their bench bring in Bogdan Bogdanovich from the Kings bring in to know y'all Nari Rajan Rondo But more importantly if we look back to last season at the trade deadline, they traded for Clint Capella Now Capella was injured at the time and he didn't play a single game for them So now he's coming back in Salon if you play the other two games or the first two games in a preseason for the Hawks Already posted a double double. They have the pieces they have the star power and then they have that depth with Kevin Herter, Cam Reddish, Rondo, Galanari They have the pieces to make the playoffs and I think the next team is where we're gonna see them actually fit in Yeah, I agree and I do think I'm excited to see how Rondo kind of takes that mentor role He's got that vet status and I think he'll be able to kind of mold that younger talent like Trey young So I'm very excited to see them play this year Next I see that you have the Indiana Pacers to miss the playoffs at plus 1 42 I also agree with you here only because they say stranger things have happened But I don't see that being the case with the Pacers after their season last year. Tell me what about this team You see is gonna keep them from playoffs So first off getting plus money at 1 42 is great always like to see that the line sitting there The Pacers I think are a good team They're not a great team They're a good team and they have a lot going on whether it's the new coach that they have which can always throw a wrench in a Non or an unusual offseason. That's not the full length They have this I'm gonna say somewhat of turmoil in the locker room all the depot does he want to stay does he want to go? He's committed the extension and more importantly, they can't stay healthy Whether it's Malcolm Brogdon getting hurt, of course all the depot, but even some of their role players I'm gonna say with subbonus and TJ Warren not being able to stay on the court for a full season So we combine all these things shortened offseason a new coach. There's locker room issues the injuries I just don't see them making the playoffs and I think they miss it and the Hawks kind of take their spot I like that you brought up TJ Warren. I think he really at this point is their only saving grace He had a few MVP moments in my opinion in those few games that he played in the bubble putting up 53 against the Sixers, but again Health is huge and we'll see if he's able to stick it out and and help the team make the playoffs But I hope you're right and I hope you get that great value and that plus money there and And last you have the Suns to make the playoffs at minus 1 32 Tell me where you see the value in this team. The Suns should be a popular option sitting at minus 1 32 And we all know what they did in the offseason bringing in Chris Paul and you know going back to the bubble They went on that run they won every single game and they still didn't make the playoffs now I think that they kind of should have made the playoffs and it comes back comes back to the fact that the under Dayton was suspended for 25 games last season Now we got to think that they could have picked up some of those games some of the wins During the regular season and they wouldn't have even been in that position to begin with so we have Chris Paul We have a Devon Booker was already star They have some of the bench players that I really like Mikhail Burgess and Cam Johnson They bring in Jay Crow River kind of another version of the Hawks, but in the Western Conference I love that. I love that you said overlooked I am all about an underdog story and maybe we will see that with the Suns this year Tom Vecchio, thank you for joining us Fandall analysts with his takes on who will be making the playoffs or missing the playoffs this year in the NBA I'm Olivia Moody. This is Fandall's hurry up. We'll see you next time
