 It's never too early for lists. I love them, they're amazing. The power rankings. You guys are sort of splitting the duties on this and we'll start at 10 and knock it out. So Chandler, you're kicking this thing off. Yeah, okay, at 10, the Cleveland Cavaliers, they're finally healthy. I think they have a chance to really rise on these rankings and get in that five, six range. I think this is the team we expected to start off this season after a first round exit to the Knicks last year. They're finally healthy. They got Garland back, they got Mowbly back. They're one of the hotter teams, them and the Knicks who unfortunately we left off the top. How did you leave the Knicks? They were 11th. There's not enough room on the screen. The Knicks have won eight in a row. Right. Cavs have only won two in a row. It's like the Orlando Magic in the beginning of the season power rankings when they were like 11 and four. It's like, do we really think they were 11th like that team? Same thing with the Knicks. I think they're on the rise. I think they can make it in here but for now we've got the Cleveland Cavaliers at the 10 spot with a chance potential to go up. All right. At number nine I'm going with the Sacramento Kings. Sitting at fifth place in the West. Just middle of the pack team right now hadn't really set themselves apart from the team that they were in these past couple of seasons. And so with that, the eight teams that are ahead of them I don't think they're better. So I got them going at nine. Kings have put four in a row together. Not bad, not bad. Okay, at eight we have Phoenix Suns. Another team that I think is gonna continue to get better when they're healthy that big three is rolling. They're gonna be a team to beat in the Western Conference. Between them, the Clippers, the Nuggets, I think those are the most poised experience vet teams. You have teams like the Thunder in Minnesota that have great starts but this team is gonna be scary come post season. There's seven games over 500 and I think that's gonna continue to get better and better. This is, yeah, I think this is a team. By the next time we do this they're definitely top five in a power. That's what I was gonna ask. And they start to get going. But right now at present date I think this is appropriate. So at number seven I'm gonna go with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Even though they're sitting one game out of the one spot, I still feel like this is one of the teams that are still inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs, when it's gonna come to a deep playoff run and I think that's gonna bite them in the ass when it comes. When it comes at the time of the matter. So they can't, yeah, they can't crack the top five for me right now. So I got the Thunder at seven. Even though they're having a hell of a season I expect them to do a lot of work but I think that inexperience catches up. Yeah, there's just something about obviously this team and it's probably the youth of this team that you just, we don't trust. We don't trust but they are the brightest future obviously in the NBA. Well, could they be disruptors? I mean, it just takes one. I think so. And I think they're gonna add some size there to help Chad to move him to the four. But this is an exciting team and they have a bright, bright future. Now, up to seven at six is Philadelphia studying six years. I'm pretty sure we told Conrad we wanted him seventh or the Thunder six. I don't think he did. Not a big deal Conrad. I don't think he did. But we'll run with it. I did not. Now the sixers, this team scares me a little bit. With Joel going down with the, you know, this threshold that he's gonna continue to try and play. Maxie being in and out. Maxie being in and out of the lineup. I can see this team sliding a bit and that's not good. But for them to have a chance, they need fully healthy. They need Tobias Harris, Kelly Ubrini, guys like that to really step up and play well. So they're at six right now, but I do see them, I see all those teams that are seven, eight, nine, 10 kind of leapfrogging them. Wow, that's actually a big statement. But I agree with you. Definitely can agree with Chandler there. At number five, I am going with the defending champion, Denver Nuggets. I just feel like this team, they're top five, but I feel like they're cruising right now. They've seen what it takes, they know what it takes to be successful and get to where they need to go. So I just feel like they're not putting a lot of pressure on these teams out here. They're still getting quality wins, but I still feel like their energy, they're just cruising through the regular season, trying to get to the post-season. That's when they turn that knob. So I got them sitting at five. At number four, we have the Milwaukee Box. And this is another team to me. It's like a affiliate where they're scary. They can go one of two ways. They can really take off now at Doc Rivers. They can figure out their defensive schemes or coverages. Their offense is always going to be potent. Their offense is always going to be elite, but this team is going to be one of the team that's there at the end of the Eastern Conference. They're going to have to battle it out with the Celtics or the Sixers, I think that. I feel like we're taking for granted that it's going to be Sixers and Bucks in the end. Well, I wonder. You think the Knicks or the Caz are really going to... I mean, it's hard to tell, but right now they just seem to be having a good time, I think I said that. I like Celtics Bucks. Yeah, I like Celtics Bucks. Go ahead, we'll see. Maybe we should place a bet on it. Yeah, I think this team, I think they have a chance to continue to get better. They're healthy now. Guys like Jay Crowder, Pat Conson, they're going to really have to defend and continue to play well on that side of the ball. So I see them kind of sticking right here. I do think they'll end up finishing second in the Eastern Conference. I think them sitting at four is based strictly on what the potential of what that team can be. So I think they deserve to be right then four. Number three, I'm going with the T-Wolves. Sitting number one in the West, playing really good basketball. You got to give this team young, this young team a lot of credit, man, with Anthony Edwards, Cat playing well. Rudy Gobert have an opportunity to be defensive player of the year again. This is a team that's playing really well. They're actual contenders. I'm still giving them the inexperienced car, as well as the Thunder, even though they're two or three spots behind them, because I think just with the Eastern Conference, you got to factor them in as well. But I think they have the same problem as the Thunder. A lot of post-season inexperience, but I still got them in number three. Yeah, I got to say, this is a team that I didn't, I didn't see this happening. I didn't, I thought they was full of gold a little bit. I thought they were going to kind of tinker up. But this team is, can defend. This team is great at home. They're 17 and four at home. They get home quarter advantage. I can see them advancing. And they're a real, they're a real threat. They have size, they have defense. They have an absolute star, and Anthony Edwards. And Carly the Towns is shown, he can still go get you 60 and then you give a night in a loss. In a loss. Okay, now we're down to the nitty gritty here, Michelle. Oh, yes. Now we're down to the nitty gritty. I preferably would have probably flipped these two again, not to throw anybody under the bus, but I think the Celtics, I think they're the best team in the NBA, but we got them at two right now. They did just lose by 19 to who we have at one. But I think this is the most poised team. I think this is the best duo in the NBA. Everyone knows the depth, they're a little thin, but when they're healthy and they have for Zynga's plan at the level he's playing, Drew Holliday has been a game changer for them. I think this is just their chance. I think this is their year. I think they will be the NBA champions this year. But right now, we got them at two. I want to bet all these things. Yeah, you gotta respect them. Bench or no bench, this team is very consistent. And you just gotta go with them and not bet against them. So for my number one spot, it is obviously gonna be the Los Angeles Clippers. Sydney at fourth place in the West, but I don't think there's a team in the league that's playing better basketball than them right now. So when we talk about power rankings, when we talk about making a real run at a championship, this looks like the team that has all of the components. They can defend, they have four different, they actually have five or six different guys that can put 20 on the board, they have depth. And the most important thing out of everything that Russell Westbrook has brought to the table for their team, they're having a ton of fun. It looks like they actually enjoy playing with each other and building and embracing the process of trying to put together a championship run. So I like the Clippers at number one right now. There's no way to get where my app works. So I could put some money on that plus 700. To me, this is the one team that they really struggle on the road. So getting home court advantage, they're 11 and 11 on the road and they're 19 and four at home. So home court advantage is a huge, huge priority for this team. So I expect them to continue to play hard, continue to try and get as many wins as possible because they need home court advantage, come play off time. If both sides are healthy, it's the best of seven. Celtics or Clippers, who are you taking? Clips. Celtics. Interesting. I feel like I'm with Lou weirdly enough. If you could have told me this months ago, no chance. These two teams are actually both two places that I consider my second homes, but I just, I like the Clippers right now. Right. Keep it high on you. It'll be a hell of a series. Quick break. When we come back a little, you buy in that. We'll run it back.
