 So I want to Eddie we're starting with you because you're our resident Nets expert now But Katie Kyrie and Simmons. This is another giant neon question mark on how is this going to look and how is it going to work? Take us through that. What's the best case scenario here? That Ben is the ultimate facilitator. He's aggressive on offense and finds these guys shots You know last year they had to create their own shots once James was gone And they had a ton of difficulty doing that against Boston and shot You know some of their worst playoff series of their careers So even if it's two three shots a game that Ben can create for them It goes so it goes such a long way plus on defense then it's probably gonna be gardens on and I the toughest matchup on the floor The most physical one That's a little that's less taxing for for Kevin That's less taxing for Kyrie and everything just trickles down from there best case scenario their title team. They're close to it You know, but there's a lot that has to happen to get there and we got to see it happen Yeah, from my perspective, I think we know what we're gonna get from Kevin Durant from Kyrie Irving It's really the Ben Simmons as X factor. This team will go really as far as Ben Simmons and how great he looks We saw him against Milwaukee. He's shooting floaters and hook shots He was passing doing everything on both ends of the floor guarding the honest Like that's the Ben Simmons that this Nets team needs It's those moments where maybe he's not looking for a shot as much or really not being a force at all offensively is when this Seems offense could struggle, but I'm curious from Evan's perspective. How do you after everything that's Get this out because it's gotta be a lot they're they're dealing with Yeah, no for sure. I agree what Eddie said earlier. I think you know a new atmosphere For Ben, it's gonna be great. I think if they get it to click and roll With the talent at Kyrie and you know, Katie I think that uh, you know The next to be title contenders and I have been as a dark horse for finals in the big Oh We're gonna write that one down and come back to that at the end of the season. I like it We're gonna take a break here when we come back I will know I think that's that is a dark horse called no one had that All of tonight's biggest games we're breaking them down Plus Are guaranteed 100 percent bank shots. That means you could take it to the bank make some cash And you're welcome ahead of time I feel like it's like that before every season starts in new york because we're all leaving they're equal right now They're in they're in the talk for championship run today But it might not last forever. We're gonna take a look at some of the other big matchups for tonight We are gonna start with the new york nicks and the memphis grizzlies and jaylon brunson and all eyes on him It was a big move for him in the off season. Evan starting with you. What are your expectations for what he can do there? I think he's just gonna do what he's been doing be a great great score But he's gonna set the tone and get to a line shoot corner threes and you know kill it from mid-range I think it's personality poise in his history at winning. It'll definitely be great for the culture I definitely believe in him as a winner. So I think that'll definitely help Yeah, I think he's in a great place to thrive. He's gonna have the ball a lot He's gonna have his opportunities to score how he sees fit and best works for him Got some big pick and roll bigs over there that can help as well Um, I think you know, look, this isn't the best team in the league I know the nicks fans were sleeping well last night But they got a good guy and jaylon brunson and they're gonna they're gonna he's gonna have a really good season this year, I think Michelle you you talk about nicks fans, you know at the start of every season I'm curious at what point in the year does the conversation go back to the dynamite michael pursuit and how close they came to getting Downing-michael quintin grimes is the guy that's gonna have a lot of eyes on him this year How does he play tonight and the rest of the year because we all know that's a guy that the nicks considered from everything? I'm told as an untouchable. So When at what point in the year will the conversation turn toward nicks fans saying we wish we had that guy down in michael Where is he? Well, if I know nicks fans, uh, they'll be patient. They'll be understanding. Um, It'll probably last the entire they'll be fine. Uh, what about so We hope that they're better. I mean for the sake of everyone and fans, but are they a playoff team? Can they make it? I know there's so much parody this season But when you look at the up and down of the conference, do you think they have a shot even to make even the play in? I think they have a shot to make the play in the playoffs. It's kind of uh, that's kind of aggressive right now, but I like I like the idea for the play in So I like the way you put it. I like the way you put it. That's aggressive. That's aggressive That's Say I'm crazy for asking that question
