 What's the word y'all welcome back to the called game show this is exciting slate of games today I want to apologize for yesterday not uploading an episode to be honest with you The reason I did it is because by the time that Portland Trail Blazer Warriors game had ended all the way on the West Coast your brother was tired I was ready to get in bed and I did not have the energy to record a banger episode some apologies today's slate of game Started very early since the weekend.

It's a great community to be a part of so hit that subscribe button Let's talk about today's slate of games starting off with one that I feel bad about man The Rockets beat the Kings now a couple times throughout the history of this season. I have talked about how much I am Love watching the Sacramento Kings play basketball this season and they don't get nationally televised games So this was their first one. It was on NBA TV. I don't know if that classifies the national televised But anyway, if you were one of the people that like oh snap Kenny has been saying the Sacramento Kings are fun Let me tune in because I finally have the chance to you'd want to subscribe from this channel because the Kings Look that bad today. It was not fun It was definitely not the same team that I've been talking about earlier in the season And I say early in the season like we not just six games in but this team looked dramatically different And I don't want to all say it's because Tyrese Halliburton wasn't there But it's because Tyrese wasn't there man He has a glue guy feature where he won't allow the ball to stick too long He'll be getting no passing lanes hyping the team up just by doing the small things and they needed that today Corey Joseph played too too too much Um and Marvin Bagley looked very very bad and I want to talk about Bagley a little bit I want to talk about the other side of the ball first before I go back to Bagley and talk about the Houston Rockets If you didn't know James Harden missed this game and and I feel bad because the first time John Wall played in the last game instead of me focusing on that I kind of Turned it toward James Harden and I'm kind of tired of talking about James Harden to an extent so I want to give John Wall a lot of praise because Two years and I'm playing basketball competitive basketball and coming back and looking like he has looked Thought the first two games. I mean we did see him in the preseason But this is like actual games that matter is amazing man And and it gives me a lot of hope for future big injuries in the league and the way medicine is going and science is going and technology Is going maybe big injuries aren't as detrimental to NBA players is what they used to be I mean John Wall looks as quick as ever and he hasn't played basketball in two years because of leg injuries The man is fast. So that's that's a beautiful thing and it gives me hope for for the future Um, I want to talk about christian wood and I'm making this This for the the detroit pistons fans out there specifically my guy nicolas on twitter I will no longer For the rest of the season Talk about christian wood then bring up the detroit pistons letting them go. I won't do it anymore I'm sorry detroit pistons. I will not torture you by saying that but man christian wood looks really really good It was a real question going into this offseason of what percentage of what christian wood did last year Was really him or was it just him playing garbage minutes on a garbage team because he's done that for a few years He did in the new orleans and then he did it He did it in detroit right and then now he comes to a team that used to rockets Of course with the james harder thing over everybody's head They're still a competent team and he looks amazing and today specifically He was playing defense If christian wood decides to be a plus defender it is over with He said his dream is to play an all-star game. It won't happen this year for a couple reasons But if he's playing this way and his defense is getting better year in year out He might turn to an all-star in the near future and that is crazy to say for a guy that his contract looks beautiful right now It just looks beautiful Kind of a lot of the stuff that this new gm and houston did kind of look beautiful like his the christian wood thing And now the john wall for russell westbrook trade is looking better again only a week and a half into the season Whatever but it's looking way better for them because they got a first round pick and john wall in that trade if you don't remember So it's looking a lot better for the new gm over there. Let me switch back to sacramento for a quick second to talk about marvin bagley While this game was going on bagley's dad who was named coach bagley if you didn't know made a tweet along the lines of sacramental needs to trade marvin bagley from coach bagley And he quickly deleted that tweet because the fans were on his ass Which is which is cool But at the end of the day i feel bad for marvin bagley for a few reasons If you did not know marvin bagley's father is similar to what the media tried to portray lavar to be this loud obnoxious Cancerous player or cancerous parent to a good player And at the end of the day lavar kind of switched that around all three of his boys ended up on the mba team for a short period of time And nowadays lavar don't really talk like that bagley's dad still talks But he just doesn't have the platform that lavar ever did and his are way more toxic than some of the stuff that lavar ball has said So now you got you got bagley's dad saying he wants out of sacramental while simultaneously marvin bagley looking bad Do the first six games of the season he looks bad? And i feel bad for him because no matter what he does if he doesn't turn into an all-star in his career He will always have that stamp. He was the guy that was drafted where he was He was drafted before it's right. He was drafted before luka And then when you got blighted devout saying that we selected the better player when comparing luka don just to marvin bagley on draft night It's rough And and i don't know if i want to say that's because of the injuries he's had throughout the first couple years of his career But regardless and you're number three he does not look good throughout the first couple games And in this fourth quarter he looked terrible So i spent a way more way more time on that game that i expected to is new york nick basketball back y'all Let's talk about coach thibodeau because because coaching Is always something i try to figure out how much of coaching matters um compared to Just overall talent on your team and what the nicks have shown through this first six games of the season Said coaching does matter a lot culture change does matter a lot when coach tom thibodeau was hired to be a coach A lot of people on twitter and on tv and all these things kind of clowned the nicks because tom thibodeau is this Old school coach that's going to have you run as suicides and from baseline a baseline And that ain't really the way the league is going nowadays and people are really upset or just laughing at the nicks All they hired a coach that is not going to do anything and through the first six games of the season The nicks look like a a competent nba team and they look like a team team You know what i'm saying when julius rand is doing all the crazy stuff here in shot He's never hit before the bench is going crazy nicks basketball is back to the point where they are Respectable through the first six through the first six they are respected You're not going to madison square garden and getting a 20 point win anymore The nicks aren't coming to your city and you getting the easy w that's just not the way it works anymore And i don't really have much to say about the indiana pacers right now That's a at the end of the day. This could be looked at as a bad loss I don't want to spend too much time on the malkin bragg and look good other than His shot being so damn slow that mitra robinson saw coming four seconds ahead of time and then got the block But um shout to rj man shout to rj for a big game When it comes to the thunder magic game I've mentioned this plenty of times before but i am extremely jealous of the thunder and their rebuild and today They finally got the basely game before he was playing pretty You know, it wasn't that great and this was hopefully the turn of point for him this season 19 and 12 rebounds Then we talk about these 76ers now the 76ers are on the top of eastern conference five and one But in their six games they played against one team. I think it's been one team That's like a playoff team. So I don't want to read too much into their six games I do want to say they're doing what they're supposed to do You know, I've been seeing people say, oh, they're five and one but their teams They're going to get stressed and sure but they're doing what would you want them to just lose it? They are they can only play Who the mba schedule makers give them the play and they're doing what they're supposed to do And it's taking care of business of the bad teams and you know what they are building confidence into bias Oh all start to bias is on the way this is out of the six games He has five very very good games and then now when you have him having five very very good games out of six You look at that 34 million you're like that ain't too bad because the way he is playing specifically today This might have been the best to bias Harris all around game. I've ever seen Today was that day and I bet he is super confident and I read an article or I read a tweet that was a picture or part of an article because reading articles ain't my thing no more But they were saying like doc rivers came into the team and his objective for to bias Harris was to get him to start Making quicker decisions and you can see that you could definitely see that the next game a sex land beat up on Not beat up on but they beat the hawks. This is one of the games were like Similar to what I was seeing what coach first of all my dog is trying to get in my room What coaching does matter because jb bicker staff had a plan and his plan was to tell his young guys to not Can you can you not? To not foul tray young because tray young has been living at the free throw line this whole year and they did it They literally did it and because of that the team didn't win I know this sounds very simplistic, but it is the truth Trey young did not get to the free throw line like he had been getting to when their first four wins And because of that they did not win and then the last game Pascal Ah, do I want to talk about pascal siacum bro? I don't want to overreact because twitter's man's is tweeting at me fidget spinners when they talk about pascal siacum because Well, you know, he likes to do that spin move, but through the first couple games of the year I mean two back-to-back Um foul outs and then he had to set out the last game because of disciplinary actions I can't get any privacy in this house Um, it's good to see that the pelicans were able to hit some shots It's out to airbless over hitting the biggest one Brennan Ingram is about to be another all-star like like I don't know if that's A hot take or anything but Brennan Ingram is about to have another all-star season and that's just greatness. That's just greatness I think overall They shot 36 percent from three on 48 shots bro the okay Last thing I want to say about the the raptors Um, they are shooting an extreme amount of threes compared to like previous years The only difference is they're not hitting them this year so far And i'm sure that'll come around and I actually made an entire video like a couple days ago If you missed that I recommend going to watch it talking about what the sac or the the raptors are doing wrong And what they can really improve on at the end of the day, um The big man position needs to be better played by erin bahns and and chris musay had a good game today again And they need to hit their shots And pascal needs to we need to figure out is pascal really an all-star caliber player Is he really an all-star caliber player? That's like really on on the radar right now That's the way he's making me feel I don't know and that's coming from a guy that was like the president of his fan club I literally have a spicy tea spicy pea shirt with a chili pepper in the middle because I'm that big of a pascal Siakam fan but through the first couple games of the season and you think about where he was in the bubble It's making it a little bit rough It's making it a little bit rough is all I'm really saying.
