NBA power rankings, according to people who think they know.
00:05
That is a number one, OKC, number two, Cleveland, number three, Houston, number four, Boston,
00:11
number five, Memphis, according to people who think they know the power rankings.
00:15
Listen, this was straight from the NBA and their people that run their app for the league.
00:24
And I actually agreed with it.
00:28
I don't have a problem with it at all.
00:30
I think Boston has been lollygagging.
00:33
I think that they play when they want to because they know how good they are.
00:38
Like, you know, last night, what was it?
00:41
They smoked Golden State by, you know, like forty five points when they want to play.
00:47
They can destroy anyone in the league.
00:49
I still think they're the team in the east that will come out of the east for the finals.
00:55
And then I hate that, but it's reality.
00:58
But I've said on a number of occasions on the show that the most exciting two teams
01:03
in the NBA to watch are the last two weeks when we watched Oak City and Cleveland trade
01:08
punches once at the Rocket and once in OKC.
01:13
And they split the games and they both did their thing at home.
01:17
And I think there's a legit rivalry brewing between these two teams.
01:22
They're both loaded with talent.
01:24
And I think Houston is the same.
01:27
I think Houston has some of the best young players like Green.
01:31
I think they have perhaps, you know, literally he could be the best coach in the NBA overall
01:38
as a coach.
01:40
Like the guy's a pure coach.
01:42
He's really good.
01:43
I mean, I don't know about his, you know, walking around the office and hitting on chicks
01:47
and all the problems he's had, but he can coach flat out.
01:52
I think that Ibuka is the real deal.
01:55
And with that talent, they mean business with that Shungun who can do it all.
02:00
And I mean, score, rebound, dish, defend.
02:04
They are dangerous.
02:06
And look, I think the Memphis Grizzlies are the same thing.
02:10
They have John Moran.
02:11
I think he's turning into the badass that I always said he would be in the NBA.
02:16
You cannot be that big and that talented with your hands and feet.
02:21
Like he is.
02:23
And his ass.
02:24
I've never seen a guy seal as good as him yet in 15 years.
02:28
I mean, this guy can seal you off and finish like nobody's business.
02:32
He has dominated in the minutes that he's played in the NBA.
02:35
There's no one making fun of Zack Eadie anymore that he couldn't cut it in the NBA or that
02:40
he was going to be a bust.
02:42
That is all down the toilet because he is a flat out baller.
02:46
And so is Jackson Jr.
02:49
So is Bane.
02:50
This is a really good team.
02:52
And I mean, I think the league looks really good right now.
02:54
I don't have a problem with any of those five at all.
