 What's the word, y'all? The NBA gave us 15 games today. 15, all 30 teams suited up and I made it my mission to watch as much basketball from all 15 games. But as you can imagine, I mean, there was one point where there were eight games going on simultaneously. Eight games. Laugh, look in. This is six games plus seven at the same time. Like, I love it, but I hate it because I'm not actually watching anything because I'm like, oh, what's going on here? What's going on here? What's going on here? Like, it's impossible. But I'm recapping 15 games. So as you can imagine, not one singular game got 100% of my attention, so I might miss some stuff. Either way, I just thought it was really cool that the NBA did this and one thing I really liked is the fact that they did it in 15 minute intervals. Sometimes we get to the game, or most of the times we get to basketball, we got three games starting at seven, three games starting at eight, and it's impossible to keep up with all of it. But now it's one at six, one at six, 15, one at six, 30. And it was completely free to the public. Now the app ended up crashing eventually. Josh Hart just hit his game winning, so I tried to move on to the next game, and I'm getting error messages now. So it was going well. It was going real well until right now. But for the most part, I would say W Knight for the NBA, especially with them trying to promote the message of voting. So shout out to the NBA for today.

And one of mine, I got three all-stars, like all of them going to perform. So I picked Dejante Murray, points, rebounds, assists. He got me that one with Trey Young being out. Jason Tatum, fantasy points. He ended up getting that and Anthony Davis' points without LeBron in the lineup. And I was all in the green. Of course it's not just basketball.

Like I mentioned, some of these games got a lot more watch time than others. Like the first game of the day was versus versus Charlotte Hornets. This is one of those games. They're like, I could be a little bit late to the party because both of these teams are missing their star players, Bradley Beal, they helped us save the protocol. And of course we got Lamello Ball still out with his injury, even though his jewelry was crazy. There is very rare, it's very rare for me to be watching an NBA game and see a player on the court and think to myself, who the hell is that? It didn't happen this game. It happened a few days ago when Jordan Goodwin was getting minutes for the Washington Wizards. I had never heard the name before. I Googled it and it turns out he's an Illinois boy so shout out to him. But the reason I mentioned him today is because off the bench, he was seven for seven from the field with 17.5 assists and four rebounds and they ended up winning the Washington Wizards. The next game was a battle of two top three picks, Palo versus Jabaris Smith Jr. And if we just strictly going on that matchup, well Palo absolutely destroyed it with 30 points. Six rebounds, four assists. I mean, there are so many points where I watch Palo and I'm like, this dude is not 19 years old. There's no way. People are saying he's a Carmelo Anthony disciple because of the way he moves and his body size and stuff. And I could kinda see that of course. But boy oh boy, he's like in a league in his own when it comes to 19 year olds. I mean, I saw stat that he has put over 20 points up on the board in every single game in his career and it was like an elite club that have also done that but he got another 30 piece. And yeah, this wasn't just Jabaris Smith Jr. versus Palo Banquero, it was a lot deeper than that. It was the Jalen Green game, man. He's been somewhat slow to start off with for the season. But in this one, he ended up with 34 points. And early in this one, I'm like, man, Eric Gordon will not stop shooting. He kept hitting them. Alfred St. Goon is always gonna give you a good performance. And the Houston Rockets won this game. I don't think I don't love about the Orlando Magic at least in this game is Kavan Harris was getting minutes over RJ Hampton. It just, it didn't feel right, especially with Kavan not having a good game and RJ. I think RJ can at least hoop a little bit and enough to be in the rotation, not today, I guess. Okay, see, blew a game to the Detroit Pistons. And I was so very close to put out a tweet. I cannot believe how bad the Detroit Pistons look. And in the second half, they turned it all the way up. I liked that the Sadiq Bay was running a lot with the second unit. I think that helped out the fluidity between lineups a ton. I don't know if that was the first time Dwayne Casey had done it this season. I'm be candid. I haven't watched a ton of Detroit Pistons basketball at least until today. And they look, they look good, especially in that second half, man. Sometimes I'd be looking at Shay and I'd be feeling for him, bro. He's already locked in. He said he's down for the OKC rebuild, but like a game like tonight, we had 16 points in the first quarter and he ended up with 33 and not a single other person in the start and I'm cracked up with digits. I'm like, man, it's kind of rough out there. But then again, I'm looking at this game and not the previous couple of games where they were ended up winning. So I'm not being pessimistic about them, but it's just like a game like this where Shay gives you 33, 7 and 5. You want someone else to step up and nobody else really did. And the Detroit Pistons really turned it up come second half. The Pelicans disappointed me tonight, man. They really disappointed me tonight. Given up 129 points to the Indiana Pacers, it's kind of crazy. I mean, I say kind of because the Pacers have one of the highest Pacers in basketball. They have Terry's Halliburton who's very good on the break. He's very good at fighting his teammates and everything. So, but it's still like, if we're looking at the talent between one roster versus another, you take the Pelicans a hundred percent of the time. But in this one, they didn't look good. I am actually somewhat worried about one thing in their lineup. And I know we're two weeks into the season, but the Zion Val Lachunas front court scares me a little bit because Zion is not a plus defender like we want him to be. And Val is not as fast on his feet. You know what I'm saying? He's more of a body on body center instead of a move your feet type thing. And I think they need a move your feet type guy in those lineups. I mean, Jackson Hayes to get no PT. I don't know if he's injured or something like that, but he kind of helps out a little bit there. But I mean, you giving up that many points, the offense is going to be like, I have no problems with the Pelicans offense, even though they take no threes. When you got CJ, Brandon Ingram and Zion, you're going to score a lot in the mid range area and in the paint was the, but like the defense, man, the defense, they have to buckle down if they want to do the things they want to do. But I had to get a lot of love to Miles Turner, bro. Giving up, scoring 37 points tonight is insane. Shout out to him. Jorlin B was back and they beat the Phoenix Suns. Now the Phoenix Suns is beat up as all hell, man. Cam Johnson, get well soon. He's going under the knife for his meniscus. I'm pretty sure Chris Paul went out with right heel soreness. Like they're already extremely, extremely thin right now. And then you cannot afford for Jacques Landel, Damien Lee and DeAndre Aiden. All of it be an extreme foul trouble, but that's what happens when you go against Jorlin B, 16 for 16 from the line from Joe Wale. First game back, he was dominant in that sense and drawn the fouls and get it to the spot that he needed to get to. And they ended up winning this game without a Tabrys Maxi game. He was four for 18, cause George Nieng off the bench. I don't know what the fourth quarter number was. I think he had five threes, five or six threes in the fourth quarter that's friend of the show, by the way. George Nieng was elite today. And it's a very big win cause I was wondering how they would look without James Harden. And I had to remind myself, they play without James Harden if I have to season last year, you know, before the James Harden trade, no Ben Simmons and they were a damn good thing. And this roster is very similar and maybe even a little bit better than that one. So I think they'll be fine. Especially if Jorlin B is looking like an MVP. And even though a lot of them was at the free throw line, I say that this was an MVP caliber performance from Joe Wale. The Atlanta Hawks take out the last undefeated team of basketball. The Bucks have fallen. And this is the luxury that you have when you have a guy like DeGente Merrick cause there was no Trey Young today. And you keep reminding yourself, oh snap, DeGente Merrick was an all-star caliber player, all-star, not just all-star caliber. He literally was an all-star on Spurs teams last year that the talent level wasn't too crazy. And he ended up getting them into the play-in. Like if it's him and no other all-stars, he is damn good. And today he ended up with 25, 11 and eight. One thing that I really love about DeGente season so far, even though he only shot 33% from the three this game, it's his willingness to take threes because he wasn't really doing that in San Antonio. He did his work in the mid-range, which he's still doing. But now he's taking more threes per game that he's ever done in his career. And I thought that was more just a product if him playing off the ball more with Trey Young. But in this one, he was ball handling. And there was a couple of times where he stopped in transition to shoot threes. I'm like, that's not the DeGente we know. And I think he hit one of the two in transition, which is really good. But we can't go and talk about this game without mentioning AJ Griffin. The man AJ Griffin popped up on my TikTok for you page a couple of days ago. And he was reading his favorite scripture. And I was like, okay, I see what you want off the court. I don't really see you on the court. And he got the opportunity today, 31 minutes, 11, I'm sorry, 10 for 15 from the field. He had two threes. He was getting into the basket. He was running the transition. Jalen Johnson has some really good possessions guarding Giannis. Like, you don't win this type of game normally without Trey Young and the lineup. But the Atlanta Hawks look damn, damn good today. They look really, really good. And listen, we knew the Bucks won going 80, 21, I mean, 80 to 1-0, but 81 and 1 is still a possibility. And Chris Middleton, every day, we're getting close and close to his return. Josh Hart. It wasn't even just Josh Hart, because Josh Hart hit the biggest shot of the game. But Anthony Simon's fourth quarter, what was it, 12 points in the fourth quarter. And the possession before Josh Hart's three, one of the people are looking over is Jeremy Grant, three-pointer in that corner. Damien Lillard only gave them 19 points on 33% shooting and the others stepped up, bro. It's happening again. Winds are winds at the end of the day. It don't matter if it's on a buzzer beater three or a buzzer beater five-foot jump shot from Jeremy Grant a couple nights ago. Winds are winds and they're stockpiling them right now. The Portland Trailblazers look good. And you know what, for the majority of this video, I was really shaking my head at the defense and it still wasn't great. And then in the fourth quarter, it got a little bit better. But the real thing come fourth quarter was the offensive explosion. Like I saw a tweet that was about their offensive rating in the fourth quarter alone. It was in the literal 270s. The offensive rating in the fourth quarter was 276, y'all. They was unstoppable from fourth quarter time. And again, Anthony Simons was heating up. Jeremy Grant hit a big time shot. And of course, Josh Hart with the open three down the stretch and he hit that. They doing the dame time on the wrist. Gotta give a lot of love to Justice Winslow because he continues to be great off the bench. There was one particular play. Oh my God. I wonder if I can find this play. I don't remember what quarter it was in. I don't even remember who hit the shot. Josh, Justice Winslow said an amazing, matter of fact, I'm finding that shot, I don't care. This is a playing question. This was created because of Justice Winslow right here. And it was actually a really, really good set or play. I'll be misusing those words. Here we go. So we gonna start off with Justice Winslow getting downhill on Duncan Robinson because you understand, Trent Wofford with the pass and then the screen to set up an Anthony Simons three. Like that was a big time shot because at that point they were down by like 14 points a little bit before that. And they keep cutting into the lead. The heat and their, I think they said in the last three games of the heat it's all been decided within three points. This game was rough, rough for them especially. Cause like I said, they were up by 14 points and the offense just didn't really do the thing. And I mentioned the offense for the Blazers was so damn good. And that's partially because the defense for the Miami Heat was so damn bad. So they got to figure it out. And I do want to cut them some slack because I took this screenshot today. This was their bench tonight. This was their bench tonight. So without Tyler Hero being in the lineup it's a little bit rough. Duncan Robinson, Drew Smith, Nikoli Jovic, Hayward High Smith and Dwayne Datman. Those were their reserves tonight. So, you know what I'm saying? If you don't get a great game from Bam or Jimmy which you didn't, it was gonna be rough to win that game regardless. But when you end up up by 14 and then end up losing, it's not great. The Bulls, what a bounce back from the Bulls. I really liked these mini series that the NBA has been doing where it's one game against the same team, or two games against the same team back to back because it allows coaches to make adjustments and game number one against the Raptors yesterday. They dogged us an offensive glass. The second chance points was crazy and it was a point of emphasis for the Chicago Bulls to prevent that. And we did and we won. It's really that simple. It's cool to see Zach Levine have his first 30 point game of the season. Lowkey felt like a very underrated 31. I looked up and he had 30 points. It didn't feel like he had 30, but he did. Love that win for the Bulls. Can I wait for us to get relatively healthy? And I may just have him drumming back and having Kobe White back, you know? Those players, at least rotational players for us. The Celtics almost blew a game to the Memphis Grizzlies. There's only one moment in this game that I really care about that scared the hell out of me. It was Jama Rent dove into Jason Tatum's knee and Jason Tatum was on the ground holding it. And I was like, don't, don't you dare. Don't you dare. And he ended up proceeded to miss two free throws. But at the end of the day, they won. I mean, he missed, so he got hit. He held his knee on the ground. He missed two free throws and then he got cooked on the defensive side of the ball. I'm like, oh snap, not like this, not like this. I hope he's okay. I'm, I'm praying he's okay because Jason Tatum is super fun to watch. But the Celtics end up winning behind a Grant Williams two free throws down the stretch after he had went zero from zero from the field. He was, he played 37 minutes and then it's hit the shot until he got fouled for free throws with like three seconds to go. I mean, that's just playing your role, playing defense. I couldn't imagine it. I can imagine it. Like just playing basketball but not getting any looks at the rim. Selfless player right there. This is the point where league pass decided to walk out. So some of these games I didn't get no eyes on because I went like 30 minutes or so without being able to watch anything. But I did get to watch a little bit of Knicks versus Timberwolves. And I mean a little bit because once I saw Julius Randall hit five threes in the first quarter I was like this game is over. And that's saying something because Knicks have a reputation of blowing 20 point leads but I looked at who they were going against and I looked at the fact that they let Julius Randall hit five threes on them and was like this over. Tom Dibbadoe was evolving a little bit. I don't know if his job is safe for the remainder of the season but he started Cam Reddish. He started Quinn Grimes the night before the game before and Jericho Sims started because Mitchell Robinson was out. This is not the Dibbadoe thing. I'm surprised he ain't tried to make a trade to get Todd Gibson back on the roster when he saw a center go down but it said he played the young guys and the young guys helped them win tonight. The Timberwolves effort level is just like terrible. I know there's that viral clip of Anthony Edwards from the previous game. It wasn't any moments like that really but it's their effort is terrible. Angelo Russell has been bad even though today he had four threes so shut out to him. He's been bad. I know they're missing Carthony Towns but boy even with, I mean Acutown's a rude go bearer but I'm just not feeling good and I might make an entire video on the Timberwolves in the next couple of days. I made a TikTok about Michael Porter Jr. shooting 50% from three and today he shot 50% from three. So he's doing his thing. Yolkers gave us 26-10 and eight and the couple really get buckets down the stretch. This is one of the games where I had the two and out of because of League Pass or my apologies but eventually League Pass came back too and the Nets lose to the Mavericks. I just wanna say Josh Green we've made videos talking about Josh Green a couple times, one last season, one early this season. This might have been the best game of his career. 16 points, five rebounds, two assists, was chirping that Kevin Durant and everything and they ended up winning this game. This is actually one of the first games of the season where they shot over 40% from three. So they've been winning games without their star shooters hitting any shots like Reggie Bullock today 0-3 but like Dorothy Smith hit two, Luca hit five in himself. Actually I'm taking that back. If Luca's given you five of the threes this was a bad shooter performance from everybody else. Luca gave them five of them but especially then when he missed Reggie Bullock missed. They've been able to win games without their shooters really shooting which is a good thing. Eventually those shots will eventually fall. Luca still amazing. Kevin Red missed the free throw and he, I think I say he hit 64 free throws in a row before then and he missed it. But even with him missing it they still have an opportunity to win cause they get the offensive rebound and then Ray Sonio tries to do too much but I can't be mad at Royce. He's been really good post Kyrie suspension. I actually like watching the Brooklyn Nets a lot more. This feels like I'm saying I hate Kyrie basketball but like they feel more complete and team oriented with the lineup that they're running now and Brooklyn Nets fans y'all let me know if I'm bugging as an outsider but like even getting Cam Thomas finally getting some minutes after he wanted to be freed is dope. Royce O'Neill had two of his best games of his career back to back. You know why the knobby stepping up. Like this feels like Katie and the kids. I always say Katie and the kids because of the alliteration but like I'm on they got that too. Joe Harris is a bad Royce O'Neill is a bad yada yada yada. Kevin Durant and the kids dating back to like even last season or the year before that always feels cool because because of the way Kevin Durant has been playing or the teams he's been playing with it was rare that we saw Kevin Durant now with another star. You know what I'm saying? So this is our opportunity and he's been damn good if you look past the fact that he missed those free throws the Warriors beat the Kings behind a Steph Curry 47 point game 47 8 and 8 zero turnovers. Now Clay Thompson, Clay Thompson tried to sell his game. He fouled Kevin Herter. I'm saying that right now. He fouled Kevin Herter. I know the last two minute report is going to say that too. Kevin Herter should have shot three free throws and I don't know what's going to happen if he did get to that free throw line. Kevin Herter was over on the line for the game. I don't know what he's shooting for the season. It's a tough break for the Kings because they were leading in this one for a big portion of it. And then Steph Curry turned up and they got a couple and wands and wiggins to the shot here and Draymond coming out of halftime was looking really good defensively. And as A if you can run their starting unit 48 minutes a game, they'll never lose. But you do have to rely on like Anthony Lam today. I looked at the game, I kid you not I was attuned into that game. So Anthony Lam on the court and thought to myself, who the hell is that? Before they zoomed in on those faces I've just seen the number 40. I'm like, who the hell is that? It was Anthony Lam. And Anthony Lam was getting minutes over Moses Moody. He was getting minutes over Jonathan Kaminga. That's not a good sign when you spend lottery picks on these deuces a couple of years ago and you're relying on them to hit the next step for you to be a championship contender again, if they were to lost his game, they would have got their own dedicated video on this channel, best believe it. And I might still do it because like I mentioned, Kevin Herter got fouled. The Lakers lost again. And I want to show you something because I knew the Lakers are gonna lose from one moment tonight. Let me show you to us. I just realized that the Utah Jazz are in first place. Oh my God, the Jazz are in first place right now. That is crazy to say out loud, bro. Shout out to the Jazz. They deserve their own dedicated video too. And I almost dropped one yesterday, but it was too late. This is the moment I knew they were losing this game. This is an all time bad starting lineup. This is an all time bad starting lineup. My boy, Mike, my boy, Mike was like, damn, I can't believe the Bulls gave up on Troy Brown, Jr. And shout out to him. He's been playing really solid. But I can't believe this is what y'all looking that Troy Brown, Jr. is like, damn, we stole him. You know what I'm saying? No LeBron, Russ came off the bench and had another good first quarter. I don't even remember what he did for the rest of the game. Yes, it's rough over there in LA for show. I probably still would make the Utah Jazz video while I can because they are, I just don't understand. I don't understand. I don't understand. I mean, I do understand that they watched them in the last couple of games, but like it's still impressive as hell. Them boys move the ball as if they're a college team. They're a well coached. There's their selflessness. And that's saying a lot with Jordan Clarkson on your team. You know what I'm saying? Jordan Clarkson go get his shots, but he's been playing selflessly. Lawry marketing is still killing the game. THT's revenge, a couple of big dunks, some some pickpocket steals. Come on, man. You're love to see it. I love an underdog story through 12 games, through 12 games, the second best team in basketball. What the heck? Through 12 games is the second best team. I cannot believe it. Anyway, the Cavaliers blew their game. Boy, oh boy, that was a rough watch. You know what? They were up by 12 or four minutes ago and I was tempted to just start this video there. But I was like, you know what? Let's get the Clippers the benefit of the doubt because you never really know what happens because it's basketball at the end of the day. And the Clippers did the thing, man. They got a couple of tough ass and wands down the stretch. Terrence Mann had a really good game. It was at 16 or so points and a couple of those coming in the fourth quarter. And then Paul George, almost, well, he did foul and tried to get his game away. But down the stretch, Norman Powell in the fourth quarter, six for seven for the free throw line. They shot 22 free throws in the fourth quarter to the 14, oh yeah, foul game. Duh, stupid. Yeah, we were talking about how good the Cavs are in the Clutch. This one wasn't a good one. They had a couple of crucial, crucial turnovers. Jared Allen missed the bunny at the rim. But even with all that being said, they're still eight and two and still looking damn good. That is a recap of all 15 games one way or another. Man, oh man, was that rough? You know what? No, it wasn't rough because my job is to sit here and watch basketball all day. So I'm extremely, extremely grateful. I wanna say thank you so much for everybody. There will be a video tomorrow, even though there's no games tonight. And I think this is where things get really fun because I gotta get creative. I can't just say, hey, this is what happened into nice, slated games. Let's get creative, baby. We might talk about the Warriors. We might talk about the Jazz or something. We gonna have something to upload. Best believe it.
