 What's the word y'all if you're so good to say those words man I've been on the road if you don't follow me on Twitter and stuff We did a live show in San Francisco did a live show in LA with Jamal croff It was a blast But I brought all my equipment because I'm like the NBA season is starting I gotta get out there make the content and I kept running to technical difficulties The mic was trash the Wi-Fi at the hotel head and so that it would take 19 out Just know I'm here and I'm ready to talk hoops So every team has played at least one game And I want to give you all my first impressions of all 30 teams before we do that Let me tell you about our sponsor prize picks hit the link in the description download the price picks app and use code Kenny kids are matching all the pods up to a hundred dollars I love price picks because it's just you versus the numbers pick between two to five different players You look for stuff like points rebounds assist You look at the number and you tell them if you think it's gonna go more or less than the number I put together an entry last night because I'm playing every single day And it was so very close for being five for five But the good thing about a five is that it's always a flex play so since my Tay Morris didn't hit his number I still walk out in the green again I'm playing every single day and I know a lot of people out there are too So hit the link in the description download the price picks app and use code Kenny so they can match your deposit up to a hundred dollars Hey bear with me y'all because we are talking about the first impression some teams have only played one game And I remind you I was on a West Coast road trip We flew into San Francisco and drove all the way up to Los Angeles We're in this big old sprint which was dope, but the Wi-Fi is trash So there are some teams that I've watched a couple minutes of and some teams I've watched complete games. It's a long season. There will be a lot of coverage throughout it Just just bear with me with the Atlanta Hawks the first thing that stood out to me was the fact that John Collins looks good And I was gonna say he looks different, but he has had seasons where he averaged a 20p So it's not like it's too crazy, but it feels like John Collins. His name is always on the tray block And right now he looks really really good It's like why do we even need to trade them the playmaker between Trey and Ajante has been added his world Both of them are killing the the playmaking game and the team just has a different vibe A lot of the times last season when I watched them They were going to fourth quarters with their back against the wall and they collapsed collapsed collapsed And the first few games haven't been necessarily pretty for them But they've been able to pull them out because they have just like this different feel and I would say they're they're Embarking on a different identity the bosses Celtics are still so damn good Like it's just that simple ladies Malcolm Brogdon's come in and immediately put his his stamp on the team He told the world why he picked Boston and why he really liked there and he showcased it Why Boston is really like that Jason Tatum has been really good through these two games I maybe it's a little bit overblown that that Robert Williams might miss X amount of months of the NBA season because the defense looks Really really good. I don't know what the Hornets are gonna do I set this in the offseason where I feel like they should be tanking tanking tanking because this is the year that you Want to tank but then I watched them and the small amount of minutes I've watched them so far this season because of a mellow not playing I'm being honest with you I'm not going out of my way to watch the Charlotte Hornets But what I have watched is that man with Gordon Haver is healthy He looks damn good and I'm thinking about them as a team and thinking about Gordon Haver Like if he can stay healthy for half the season that you can get a little some some form You know I'm saying there's they're gonna be teams out there that if Gordon can showcase that he can be healthy They're gonna be calling for him same thing with Terry Rogier But you do got like the downsides like James Book Knight doesn't even really look like an NBA player I mean I know he's got some other stuff that he's dealing with but boy his minutes have been hard to watch It was hard to watch a preseason. I gave the benefit of the doubt But it's been a game that I've seen and it was just really really rough the bulls a listen We're one on one on the season which is exactly what I expected I expected us to lose the first game of the year against Miami because they're the heat and I expected us to be the Was it was a flip flip way and that's pretty good considering Zach Levine hasn't played his plans tonight Which is dope. I will be in attendance be looking out for me And it's cool that we're one and one and not only two to start the season We're missing an all-star caliber player tomorrow still looks great Which is amazing and most of us through the first two games has been pretty good as well And it's the contract year for boots So you expect him to increase his play because we got to figure out how much you were big fella and a lot of bulls fandom I'm is revolving conversation revolving around Patrick Williams because you know number four overall pick a little while ago Went through the first two games It has been as bad as the numbers say if you look at the stat line The viewing experience is even worse than what the stat line is saying and boy Oh boy, do I want to get from the benefit of the doubt now I was I was one of those guys that mean oh the next kawai. I didn't really think bro was the next kawai So my expectations are not that but I just want him to be a contributing basketball player And as of right now He's not that and even on the broadcast with Stacy King and Adam Amin They're pointing out the fact that Patrick Williams just sits We're for that for a guy that's as athletic as he is He won't be cutting he won't be doing the little things and I thought that that was one of the things We're gonna get from Pat good defense and the little things he not doing those things So I'm luckily we got other players in the roster that could pick up the slack But like a lot of our future and a lot of our now is depending on Patrick Williams taking a step and Basically between the last time we saw him last season these first two games nothing has changed If anything there has been a slight regression and it's not great And I talked to Pat recently and one thing I forgot about him in his draft class is that they didn't really have time They didn't have a summer league. They didn't really have much of a training camp They got drafted in the season started basically like that But like that can't even really be an excuse like this other people within his draft class that has really taken off So I got love for Pat I'm not giving up on Pat, but it is it has been rough Cavaliers I completely missed their first game So I really don't have anything to say and I see Darius Garland's not playing tonight Which is unfortunate because I really like Darius Garland's game and I really love would have loved to watch and play again I think last season I went to two Cavs games And then this year I'm starting off the season by going to a Cavs game either way I did see the Evan Mobley attempted his first two shots with three point attempts And I'm excited about that and his ball handling look pretty good Look pretty fluid compared to your number one now again I haven't watched the full game the nugget scared me in that first game in a season I will be honest with you and you know what and even the second game against the Warriors, which is a win Did we jump the gun just slightly and I say we when I'm talking about myself I think I put them as the number one see because I'm just man Jamal is back a microphone He's back I didn't really think about the idea of Jamal Murray sitting out games because he needs to manage his injuries or You know just being on ministry tricks and stuff like that. They still like a good team Game to not so much a gay one either way I'm excited to continue to watch the different oh one thing that's in my notes is Can we stop just letting Michael Porter, Jr. Be strictly spot up? I know he don't move as fluid as other people in the league Especially with 17 back surgeries, but he's a max player. That's job is to sit in the corner. I Mean damn good at it. Don't don't get me wrong He's efficient is it pretty much anybody on the catch of shoe But it's like he should be doing a little bit more on the offense and I'm sure they're gonna incorporate that eventually eventually for the pistons I want to showcase a particular moment in this game And remember Kay Cunningham who we will be talking about is in year two of his NBA career as a former first overall Pig who looked really good at the second half of last season So I'm not jumping the gun or anything But I do want to showcase just one little thing real quick It just if there's something missing in it now again He's a year number two player but like in college he was a not basically a knockdown shooter and it's just so flat with his jump shot Now I'm not overreacting I'm not saying he'll never be a good shooter because I'm sure we will but it's something missing about his jump shot that I that you know it's worth talking about and that's not just me talking I actually saw pisses fans talking about in the timeline That's what made me go go back cuz I would I'm beyond so I wasn't watching Nick's Detroit Especially after the next pulled out very early on I was like, you know what I'll switch up on that one But Jalen Duran is only 18 years old and Jaden Ivy speed is translated so crazily to the NBA I'm excited about their core and game number two of the season Ben Simmons looked at the basketball Now game number one I could not say the same I think he had six points or something like that four point six points Whatever and all of his field goal attempts were like lobs You know I'm saying somebody getting it up to him and I'm like man Will he ever look at the basket and again number two he looked at the basket for exactly one quarter For exactly one court, I'm like Ben bro come on. What is going again? He ain't played basketball miss many months and I understand these type of things. I'm not asking him to be LeBron I'm not asking to be honest At least look like look like an offensive threat. There's even a moment where he passed up a dunk Similar to what he did to Trey young, but he gave it up to Nicholas Klaxer who was amazing yesterday I'm so nobody cared because they actually scored But like he was at the rim and he was in the air and instead of going up and just finishing the layup He dished it off and I mean, I guess this is play style But like you would want him to have that type of aggression Eventually because the dumb down won't always be there, you know, I'm saying sometimes the dumb down list of Matisse Thibault Who gonna get fouled he gonna miss half of his free throws either way They won a very close game probably my favorite game of last night and that's saying something because it was over times It was a lot of stuff between them and the Toronto Raptors and you saw they're like hey Katie and Kyrie kind of nice, you know saying eventually eventually they gonna get it going They were kind of nice knows after Katie's struggling and a lot of it Nicholas Klaxon was huge because the game number one they got dominated in the in the post or in the paint between Zion and Valonichunas and again number two Nicholas Klaxon came out and rebounded the hell out of the ball Especially on the offensive side and it really helped them win that game. I don't know what to make of the heat I've said on this show when we were talking about the NBA standing predictions that I didn't love their roster and through two games They've lost to One of them against a really good team. So you know I'm saying you're gonna win those You're gonna lose those the first one against the Chicago boys who are missing Zach Levine I still don't really know what to make of it. Um Tyler hero coming out as a starter has looked really really good Talk about the Kings real quick. Here's my notes. The Kings gave a 56 points in the paint 56 that was against the Portland Trailblazers who they ain't got no Yanis They ain't got no Zion they went against the Portland Trailblazer gave a 56 points in the paint Which is not great, but through the first three and a half quarters I was like, oh snap. Look at the keys. They are foxes locked in in the second quarter They had a lineup that was like four little guards and subbonus in the second quarter and that team Offensively looked amazing and they didn't go back to it down the stretch And then we got to the fourth quarter and the Aaron clanked a couple shots at the side of the backboard the Montessor bonus Traveled there. It's there y'all. I'm telling y'all it's there They got it They got to get more physical and don't get beat up down low and Keegan Murray got to come back That's sad. That's how I feel. I'm still pretty pretty high on this team Even after their kind of collapse if you want to call it that now I was at the Clippers first game in the season and it was magical man It was magical to see John wall back on the court and listen John wall hit the ultimate green light in his head You know in the offseason. He was like, I'm here to be third fiddle or whatever You could tell him that in game number one because when those first two shots went down He was like, oh, I'm still John wall and he was getting down here You don't have the explosiveness is like the prime version of him but then memories jump shot was really falling and They got they got so many pieces that like Terence man didn't even really play or a mere coffee didn't play it at all They just have so many competent solid guys And I think that's the perfect way you build around Kawhi because he will like tonight not play and the now We got we're gonna see a Terence man appearance or whatever whatever So I really like what they got going on man Zubat was amazing and he dominated the paint against the Laker The Lakers I've been them both of their first games I was there in the ring ceremony with the war used that was a complete blowout and I was there because the clippers where they played Slightly better I'm better enough for like it wasn't a blowout on national TV You know what I'm saying and man and game number two made me feel a little bit more optimistic the game number one And that's saying something but they maintain their position in the game through solid solid defense I know I know I know that that Russell Westbrook shot 0 for 11 from the field But defensively he was doing this thing There was like back-to-back possessors where they were trying to get kawada ball in the post and Russell was like nah I'm not having it. He literally said no I'm not having it after a timeout was called like he was doing this thing defensively. Obviously 0 for 11 is never good no matter the caliber of player But they're just not shooting LeBron said it everybody that watched these games saying they're like we got to the fourth quarter And they had already missed a hundred three-point shots. They had stopped taking them and now I don't blame them You know they missed so many but it was like driving kick to nothing driving kick to nothing driving kick to nothing Yeah, they talking about we gonna maybe make some trades around Thanksgiving, bro Y'all might be in a big hole by Thanksgiving, you know, but the but I'm gonna say this about another team They've gone against two of the best team two teams that people are assuming are gonna make title runs and the Clippers and the Warriors So let's see what they look like against a mid-tier team and we'll talk But like not having shooting around LeBron is ultimately ill the Madness gave a big game against the Phoenix sons But one thing we can't take away is that Christian Wood as a pickup look pretty pretty good And that was one of those games that I wasn't able to watch in real time Memphis's scouting department. I tweeted about it is some of the best in the league They'll find somebody and you're number one He'll just sit on the back of the bench and their development department gets them to some decent like Salty Aldama And that first game against New York Knicks where he could not miss and he's playing good defense And then again number two Jake LaRavia came off the bench And I think it was David Roddy came off the bench It gave them very quality minutes, but deeper than that John Moran is just a different kind of monster It's all we really need to say you watched it you saw the stat line He's a beast the box managed to beat a really good 76er team without Chris Middleton and would you holiday having a bad offensive game in a game that was like 90 total points That's one of the reasons why I like them. They're resilient and they're good I like what what do you want me to say about my first impression about a team that I was already Saying it was gonna win the championship. You know what I'm saying. All right Spurs fans beyond switch Have not watched have not watched. I have not watched. I have not watched I've been checking the box scores Haven't watched you the pelicans have so many different options the Zion hasn't given us a great performance just yet And it hasn't even mattered. It hasn't even mattered. You know, I'm saying big valve coming and give was a 30 and 17 Brandon Ingram's gonna get you a dub CJ's gonna get you a dub and they got trade Murphy off the bench and yesterday I was expecting more Jose Lvarado than what we got But they have depth on his roster that wins Zion is actually, you know Shooting more efficiently like he has never bad game don't get me wrong He has a shot officially whatever once he decides to really put it together together This team is gonna be really really scary The one thing I'm a little bit afraid of about this team defensively is once they go against the team that moves that ball Because so far they haven't done that they haven't gone against a team that is really ball movement heavy until we got to like the Second half of yesterday's game and it starts to swing around and I was like, oh The defense get kind of cracking a little bit in due time. We'll see Jalen Brunson was earth every single pinion In fact, he has zero turnovers. They had this graphic. Oh my god. Let me find this graphic These are all the starting point guards in recent Nick's history. Are you kidding me? I knew it was bad But this bad is crazy and now Jalen Brunson comes in and he is he is undoubtedly the best Point guard that they've had starting point guard they had over a decade. Palos first game was Insane and you know who also had a very good first game That was Jalen sucks and in game number two against the Atlanta Hawks train young was struggling And I'm giving a lot of credit to Jalen Suggs his defense on that then Jalen Suggs goes out with an ankle injury Which is unfortunate. I think it's just a sprain so he'll be back and then immediately tray young turned it up right after Jalen So like it's not a coincidence. You know benedict matherin or is it methoron? I still don't know Um told the world after he was drafted that LeBron got to show me he the best in the league His mindset is carried over tremendously This man is so so fearless get into the basket that he's him and Tari's are making Pacers games Super fun. I'll be honest like yesterday was a blowout until we got to their fourth quarter They almost put a 50 points in the fourth quarter. I hate that already that Jalen Smith kind of is losing his spot You know like um, he started the game struggled and then in the second half I think they went to goga and then one jalen once jalen smith got off the bench He immediately got hit and now he was out for the rest of the game But like I hate that he has such small of a leash in that starting spot There was like a game in the couple minutes either way Um benedict is enough to turn on the indiana Pacers It was so very good to see a real good damien lilor game in the off season I was part of it. I was like, I don't know what to think about the scene I really like to start in five But I was questioning about the rest of that the lineup when we get to the bench and through the first two games It hasn't hasn't mattered too much. I mean, I mean they got a real damien lilor game 28 points going into halftime was absolutely insane and game number one I love that they went small ball. It was only for a couple minutes It was half of a quarter just as windsaw at the five. He was guarding some bonus. He was doing a damn good job I need to see them play against some more people before I get a real opinion But anfrony simons is absolute stuff We knew that based off last season him hitting that game when it was dope Um, but damien's back and I love to hear that the rockets have so many young pieces I am guaranteeing that that jalen green is a stud. He already is a stud He's gonna be more of a stud But it's trying to figure out the rest who else added this young cord that we believe in I love the jabar smith junior in his first game was like i'ma shoot every shot I saw In the second game the shots weren't falling. He decided to steer back I want him to stay aggressive even if he's shooting it efficiently because we spit this pick on you We want you to get your reps out and I see a lot of rockets fans like man. Nobody talks about jalen green Nobody talks about this. I think that's completely okay Because once is once it comes down to it Once jalen green continues to showcase this talent in this talent. It's going to be impossible to ignore So let him continue to do his thing in the shadows People will notice y'all people will I promise you the 76ers are owing to Now they were my team to come out or to win the most games in the eastern conference Not the greatest start and their defense they played against two top teams also But you have to beat the top teams to be the top teams now I don't like the way I way I've seen the body language and the productivity from joel and b through the first two games And him going up and not talking to the medium af media after gate number two is kind of crazy It's a second game in a season bro. He seems out of shape The good thing is that james hard and looks great So if we could get them on the same page where you know joel is back in shape and james still look asyle Everything is going to be smooth. I like that the suns are incorporating deandre aidenmore That's pretty much all I got for them so far through the first two games of the season Deandre aiden is getting more touches than he did last year and that's great for not only my fantasy team But for him and I think for the overall team because he is so very good once he's five feet away from the rim Those bunny boom boom boom still easy bucket bucket bucket He didn't miss the free throw down the stretch yesterday, but still I love that he's being incorporated more If i'm not mistaken the thunder if only played one game against the timbles and they play again tonight I have not been able to watch them. My apologies thunder fans. I really don't have an opinion right now The wolves are one in one which is terrible considering what their competition was for the first six or seven games of the season I mean, I guess the jazz is better than we expected, but still They they have way more talent than that jazz roster And it went into overtime and they completely went away from what was working down the stretch It was a lot of anthony ours and carltony towns. I love him He's he's a great person and a great player, but I get these moments where he's extremely frustrated to watch We're like in this game They went away from from ant was like, okay carltony towns is a top tier player in this league too So I understand going to cat But like after a couple misses of him's fortunate and after a couple turnovers You're like, can we do the other thing maybe go back to the angelo russells He's a clutches man over the last two seasons of basketball go back to anthony ours because that's what was working You know, they still have a lot to figure out as a team that added a new piece So it will come together, but that last loss wasn't very good. Pascal siakam is is good man I mean what more can I say he said he wanted to be top five and I love the idea of having A higher up goal. He probably won't end up top five But he looked like top five in that game yesterday We're like nobody could guard him and and for a year or so when they were down in tampa One of the running jokes on Pascal siakam was like, oh if he ain't spending he ain't scoring And that's that's not the case. His bag is so very deep. You know, I'm saying we talk at Euro steps We talk at step backs. We're talking mid-range. We talk at three point shots at least last night He the the spin move is still effective. Don't get me wrong. He just has so much in his bag Um, and and they were they were lacking bench production the other night. The jazz are too good They're too good for their own good now. They have 12 picks or 15 picks for the future But this is the year where where your pig matters most I mean, I gotta pick up the phone and try to figure out who to get my colony to I gotta pick up the phone to get Jordan Clarkson out of here because they went in too many games And I love that larry markon is getting as many touches as he wants But they gotta chill they gotta chill and this is probably a hot start and eventually they're going to take a loser's league But man, they look damn good through the first two games The words are the defending champions and I still believe that they have championship pedigree They're still going to be a tinker peter for championship Um, and I don't really have much to say similarly similarly to what I said with the bucks It's a team that expect to be good and first two in two games They they've been good and I know they're one in one But they've been good enough for me not to be like, oh, let's panic or oh, let's overreact They they eye they got it and the wizards I I enjoyed watching yesterday's game against the wizards not not because we lost But because that wizards throwback jersey is so damn beautiful And I must say they were surprisingly good through the first two games of the season Kyle Kuzma has been lights out. He killed us last night and bearded Chris stops is is handling the ball doing great things and of course, Bradley Beal Had another good game against the bull. So I I'm happy about the jerseys and that's the team that's going to be in the running for sure I think that's all 30. I swear. I might have skipped over some my apologies. This is already going too long Leave a like more green caps as we continue the season. Thank you so much for watching
