 What's the word y'all? Today we're gonna be ranking NBA teams on how watchable I think they're gonna be this upcoming season. We did this towards the end of the 2020-2021 season and a lot of people was hot about how I spent my time watching NBA teams. Remember, this is my subjective opinion so if I rank your team low, it is what it is. I just won't watch it as much as you. I think that's fine. It's only one person that can live my life and that is me. And if I wanna live it watching the Bulls be bad, I'll do that. You feel me? Leave it like, subscribe and let me know in the comment section what you agree or disagree with. Just don't be toxic. All right, so here are the tiers we got him in. Just let me walk you through these really, really fast. Tier one and tier two are very, very similar but this is different. Tier one is won't miss a game meaning that if it is up to me out of the 82 games this organization, these organizations play, I am trying my hardest to watch every single game. It's unrealistic because even the Bulls who I try to watch every single game of, I do miss games because real life takes control every once in a while. But I try my hardest to watch every single Bulls game. I put that right there because you know I'm a fan of this team. Whether you like it or not, I will be tuning in to majority of the Bulls games. The next one is Must See TV. I'm gonna make an effort to watch as many games as possible but it's unrealistic for me to go out there and watch 82 games. Pretty fun. A lot of these teams might have special features or special players in a team that make me go out of my way to watch them. Enjoyable is exactly what it sounds like. This team is gonna be good and enjoyable but it's like enjoyable is like the seats here in this universe, all right? Early season is one that we added. All these other ones were on the video from 2021. Early season means that this is a team that I might tune in a bunch through the first 20 games of the year but I don't see myself carrying 70 games into the season. These are mostly the tank teams, let's be honest. I'm very intrigued on a lot of the tank teams to see these young players evolve. But realistically, we're gonna get to the point where we halfway through the season, instead of me watching the real-life game live, I'm watching highlights or possessions of my favorite players on those teams. And then the last one has got to be a special occasion. That's F tier, that's my nice word of saying, bro. If it's up to me, I ain't, if it's up to me. But even this feels disrespectful because this team might be early season because I'm still a fan of Donovan Mitchell but I feel like I could watch Donovan Mitchell possessions or get the notification when the jazz in a closed game when Donovan Mitchell might take over without watching the first 40 something minutes. I just don't know what to expect from them because I'm expecting nothing. I'm gonna put them in the gotta be a special occasion which is they're in a closed game with a couple minutes left or Donovan Mitchell got 30 points at halftime and I'm tuning in to watch the rest. But then there's not a ton to really care about on that team. I like the eight, you know what I'm saying? Eight might get some young people that might blossom a little bit, I don't really know. But going into the season, this is the way it is. I'm gonna also do this at the end of this season so we can see what team's improved or got higher in the next year or what team's disappointed me, all right? I am a firm believer that this 76er team will be must see TV MVP candidate Joel Embiid. I think he might be the favorite going into next season considering he's spent a second a couple times in his career. James Harden looks in shape and I'm still high on James Harden's ability to be great after last season not being that. Tabriz Maxi aimed up my official most approved player. Tabriz Maxi was the most approved player in conversations last year, but I think he's gonna take another jump. They just brought in PJ Tucker. They got the Anthony Melton. I think this is much watched TV when you think about Joel and James Harden being one of the best pick and roll duos in the NBA. I think they were actually number one. The Washington Wizards get the early season tag because I don't really know what to expect but I like a lot of the things they did this off season. The Monte Mores pick up to make him their starting point guard is a dub because he's one of the more safe point guards in basketball. Porzingis after he got traded there looked pretty solid in the spurs that he had. Bradley Beal is back obviously. And they got a couple of people on that roster like Denny Mdia where he had you more than I'm intrigued about. But I don't know if I'll be watching them a halfway through the season, but if they're better than anticipated, then they can jump up. I think Atlanta Hawks are gonna go to the pretty fun tier. I won't go as far as to their must-see TV even though Trey Young, Trey Young by himself might make them must-see TV but Trey Young was there last year and they weren't even really here because I was disappointed in what they was doing. So I'm gonna put them in a pretty fun tier because Trey Young is very close to must-see TV and Jean-Té Murray is beefing with people before the season even started. So I'm excited to see what the heck that's about. Cleveland Cavaliers were my number one league pass team last season. I'm gonna guess that early season they're gonna be must-see TV but I am a little afraid that they gonna let me down this year and not be as fun as they were last year because now there's expectations and as you know, like same thing with my Chicago Bulls if you come out the gate and guns blazing and you look pretty good, that next season it's extremely hard to match that energy and I hope that the Cavs and or the Bulls don't let me down. I'm gonna go pretty fun for the Detroit Pistons. Jaden Ivey, I watched his first game of his summer league career and then watched the game before he tweaked his ankle and he was electric. K-Cuttingham is electric. Isaiah Stewart was shooting threes in summer league. I'm gonna say they're pretty fun. They are borderline maybe here but I'm gonna go pretty fun right now because I don't know if I'm completely convinced they're gonna be super competitive. I wouldn't be surprised if they were but if they're gonna be like next level competitive I don't really know. Pacers are gonna go early season for me. They got my boy Tarris. They got J.L.A. Smith who we made a video about a couple of days ago and they got Benedict Mathron who I'm high on but I think they're gonna be an early season team because I think themselves their goal is to be in the Victor Robin Yama sweepstakes so I don't expect them to be 40 games to the season really trying their hardest but recent himself is really fun but the rest is kinda iffy. Milwaukee Bucks is must-see TV, NBA champion I won't say favorites but contenders of course. Great team. Giannis is on it and Giannis and himself is close to here but I don't think I'm gonna get to this point. I will go must-see TV for the Bucks. If I wasn't a Bulls fan obviously the Bulls wouldn't be here but legitimately this is part of fandom for me. The Raptors. Ooh, where do I wanna put the raps bro? Where do I wanna put the raps? They're between pretty fun and must-see TV for me. They got a lot of things on that roster that I really, really enjoy. I'm talking myself into must-see TV. I'm gonna put them in pretty fun with the ability to raise up once we all done. Mavericks on must-see TV. Mostly because their off season for me was a bit in Christian Wood is probably gonna have some really crazy, great numbers and I'm excited about that. Luca Dodgers is must-see TV as an individual talent but I'm a little bit afraid about the Jalen Brunson loss and not really replacing them at any point, Gar. I thought Gorand Raj was a lot to go there and instead he's in Chicago this upcoming season but I'm gonna say just because Luca is Luca and they still got pieces around him that could shoot and play good defense I'm gonna put them in must-see TV tier. I am putting Denver in must-see TV, man. I'm putting Denver in must-see TV. Listen, I'm a fan of basketball, y'all. My job in life is watching a ton of basketball. So yes, we're gonna have a lot of teams in must-see TV because that's just what I do. When the game started six o'clock on a random Wednesday, I come here, I put the main game on the big TV and I put the other games on the small monitor. So it's gonna be a lot of must-see TV. They're close to here. I'm not gonna put them here. I'm not gonna put them here but they're close to here because I miss watching Jamal Murray and I miss watching Kevin Porter Jr. Michael Porter Jr. But I do believe that we're gonna get like 60 games of the season and they're still gonna be must-see TV but I won't be breaking my neck to watch them. So I'm gonna put them in must-see TV right now. That's easy. That's easy. They were must-see TV last season. Nothing has really changed. This is still legit. Memphis Grizzlies is that. John Moran, Desmond Bain, Jaren is gonna be off for some time. But I'm gonna put must-see TV for the Memphis Grizzlies as well. I'm so intrigued about the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm putting them in the, I won't miss a game to here. Yep. Now this is definitely gonna change throughout the season but I honestly do believe I will be watching at minimum the first 20 games bar none. And the reason why is that I wanna see what they look like in the beginning and how they improve. And I mean, I guess the opposite can happen too. How they adjust the plan with each other. I mean, they made one of the biggest trades in NBA history this season and they have two legitimate centers, two of the top three, two of the top four centers in basketball are on the same team. Maybe five, depending on how you look at some people. And I'm curious how this gonna work. Anthony Edwards is that guy. I know you like Kenny, how are they gonna miss a game but like real life contenders in Philly and real life contenders in Milwaukee are in the tier below and mostly because I know what Philly's gonna give you. I know what the Bucks are gonna give you. I know what the Mav is gonna give you but this team, there's a lot of possibilities. So because of that, I won't miss a game. At least I'll get through the first half or so. Gotta be a special case for the Spurs. I won't talk too much about it. I think Keldon's gonna be a stud. I even think Josh Primo's gonna be pretty silent. Jacob Hurdle was one of my favorite centers in basketball but let's keep it a buck. They sold heavily at the beginning of this off season. They know what they're doing and I know what they're doing and what they're doing is not trying to win. Clippers must see TV. Phoenix Suns. Last year I think I put the Phoenix Suns in tier A. I was so disappointed on what they did last season and how it ended. Like, I'm skipping them for a minute, bro because I don't know where I wanna put them. But the Portland Trail Blades are gonna be in a pretty fun tier. I think Dane, a lot of people are skeptical about Dane because of what last season. I think he's gonna shut all of that up. He's gonna be great again. Anthony Simon's really good in the minutes that he was getting without Dane. Josh Hart is super underrated. Jeremy Grant pickup is really solid. I'm gonna go with pretty fun but I won't say they're must-see TV at least right now. The Kings are a tough team. You know what? I'm putting the Suns in pretty fun. Show me, bro. For the last two seasons I was enjoying every single game imaginable. And yeah, we talking about regular season here but the way, again, the way it ended was so, so drastically bad that I don't even wanna put them in must-see TV because I think a lot of people, even if this tier goes out and wins 55, 60 games, everybody be like, you know, show us, show us. And that's kind of how I feel too. So I'm gonna put them in pretty fun. They still got some like, Chris Paul is literally my favorite player of all time and then Mikhail is the homie. So I will be watching a ton of their games obviously but I'll put it in the pretty fun tier because there are times when it's not pretty fun. The Kings, I think I wanna put them in enjoyable tier. I'm excited about a lot of the stuff they did this off season. I don't know how realistic it is that they win a bunch of games considering I think the defense is probably gonna be pretty bad but early stage is gonna be fun. I think they're gonna be an enjoyable team to watch. I'm kinda high on the Knicks, man. But the way the Knicks play basketball, it's so grinded out because Tom Thibodeau is their coach. I'm gonna put them in enjoyable even though I think they're gonna, they're gonna be a playoff team this year. I'm gonna put them enjoyable and leave it at that RJ Step, Jalen Brunson. They finally have a point guard over there. Isaiah Hardenstine is my favorite backup center in all the basketball. So they got a lot of stuff there but I'm gonna put them in enjoyable right now. Legit don't think I'll miss a game with the Pelicans. I don't. They had me last season and now we're adding Zion back in. Come on, bro. Come on, bro. Stop, stop. That's all I need to know. This team is about to be electric. They're gonna be fun as heck. Zion, Brandon, Ingram, CJ. Come on, man. And Herb Jaws clipping up on a, oh, it holds it over Roddo. Forced to turn over us and we still got Big Jonas Valinus. Come on, man. That's, I won't miss a game. At least I'm gonna try not to miss a game with the Pelicans. This is interesting. This team could go in either of these three tiers because they will be enjoyable because Lamello Ball is a highlight reel in themself. Hopefully James Book and I get some PT but it's Steve Clifford. So we'll see. He's got a mixed track record when it comes to these younger players. It could be an early season team because losing Miles Bridges is such a bad thing for the organization. Or it could be a special occasion team because I don't think they're gonna be very good. I'm gonna go early season, see where they start, I'll see how they go and then we'll move it accordingly. Jalen Green is a stud and Tyree Eason is my favorite rookie in this entire draft class. So I'm gonna go enjoyable. I don't think they're gonna be trying to really compete. I think they still are looking to have good lottery odds. I'm gonna put the Miami Heat in pretty fun. Kind of feels disrespectful. That's not ranking them based on their individual talent or the talent as a team because they're a good team. Don't get me wrong. But it's something that's missing about them that makes me wanna watch them every single game. It's not that they're bad, obviously. They're very far from bad. But it's missing something. Maybe it's missing an extra player that I really, really like. Obviously, I really like Jimmy Butler. Obviously, I really like Bama DeBio. But nobody else in that roster is like, oh, I need to tune in because I really have a fan of that guy. Tyler Leroy was good. I'm not saying that they're not good, but these other teams I can name multiple. Like the teams that are in musty TV and want me to game, I can name three to five players that are like, I really, really love. And the Miami Heat basically have two. They're really high two, but still two. They had three last year because PJ was there. And now PJ on another musty TV team. But it's like, the Heat are gonna be a very good team as they usually are. And they're gonna be fun. That's how I look at it. Do the Brooklyn Nets even get added anywhere? Cause what do we expect from the Brooklyn Nets? I don't know. If we're looking at what their roster is right now, I'm gonna say they musty TV, but I mean, I'm gonna go actually, they musty TV maybe for the drama and not so much the basketball, right? Okay, C is gonna be enjoyable, at least in the first half of the season before they shut Shay down. Shay is gonna be an all-star as long as they let him play. I don't see a world where he don't put up the right amount of numbers. And when they did play healthy last season, they weren't a good team, but they weren't a terrible team. I think their defense was 17th in the league last year with all the bad things. I got there from the athletic NBA show. Shout out to them. So I think they're gonna be enjoyable. Like these younger teams are gonna be enjoyable. Warriors, you know I'm going with that one. I will not miss a game with Steph Curry, Clay Thompson, Jermah Green. All of them gonna be healthy coming off a championship run. Wiggins, of course, and Cavanaugh Looney. That is a team that I will not miss a game of if I can help it. I'm putting the Celtics in must-see TV. A team that went on the finals run and when they actually, hmm, I wanna put them a little bit higher. I'm gonna keep them here. Because last year they were must-see TV in the bad stages and when they were ramping it up and obviously in the finals run, I'm gonna put them in must-see TV. The Lakers are must-see TV. Whether it's a dumpster fire, a car crash, a crime scene, they're must-see TV, but no matter if it's for the good or for the bad, no, you cannot deny that fact. And LeBron James in itself is must-see TV person, for me at least, because he ain't losing much in his older age. And I do believe that Anthony Davis is gonna have a nice little bounce back season. And I'm putting your Lendo Magic in enjoyable with the potential to go to pretty fun. I'm gonna put him enjoyable. I like this nice young core of teams. They're gonna be enjoyable. I'm putting the Knicks up. This feels like the right tier for the teams that are gonna be fun, but maybe not a lot of expectations. I'm kind of rocking with this. And the more I look at it, this is like an NBA player tier ranking or NBA team tier ranking. Cause these teams are probably not competing for much other than lottery balls. And these are the pretty fun teams. And maybe they're fun because they're trying to win basketball games. You know what I'm saying? Let me know what you think. What is your, won't miss a game team that I didn't have higher? Or what teams that I have too high in your personal opinion? I'll be in that comment section as I always am. I'll see y'all soon. Peace.
