So the NBA kicks off tonight. NBA on NBC and Peacock.
It's both. All right.
NBA on NBC and Peacock. We got a pair of games.
Juju, good to have you aboard. How excited are you for the NBA is back?
Speaker 2
Yes, sir. Very excited, man.
You got to know I've been waiting for this day all year.
Speaker 2
And you can also check us out doing our thing over at DLS Hoops. Me and Trista, you feel me? The Alley U show.
We're going to be back in full of fat, man. Pull up on us.
Speaker 1 What do you make of Kevin Durant? He's going to play for the Rockets this year, okay? What do you make of Kevin Durant? He's going to have to stand there in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 He's going to watch them put that banner up right in front of him.
Speaker 2 Right, right. I think the Thunder organization deserve a lot of credit, as always, for how they did their rosters.
Speaker 2 But I do think that they deserve a little bit of flack from how they handled it back in the day, which we're finding out right now on the Starting Five Netflix show.
Speaker 2 Like, come to find out, they traded James Harden without his knowledge. They broke up the situation before it was time.
Speaker 2 So, as much credit as they need for this era right here, I still think they get a little bit of slack for how they handle the old days.
Speaker 1 Drew, I think starting five and Netflix drops at a perfect time right before the NBA season to get you fired up. So my wife, Jenny, watches the NBA on tape delay, right?
Speaker 1
You remember how back in the day the games used to be on tape delay? She watches the entire season on tape delay. So she'll watch starting five and be like, wow, Nixon Pacer series.
That was crazy.
Speaker 1
How I'm like, yeah, baby, did you see the shot? She's like, oh my God, it bounced up. It went in.
Incredible. She's like, Shay Gillis, I love him.
He's such a nice guy.
Speaker 1
So she watches the entire NBA storylines on delay, but now she's getting into the season. She's like, big game tonight.
Rockets, Kevin Durant, I like him against Shane Gillis-Alexander.
Speaker 1
And I'm like, yep, Shane Gillis, babe. She's like, wow, big game.
By the way, really quick.
Speaker 1
Tallest NBA starting five ever we could have. Yeah.
6'7, 6'11, 6'11, 6'11, 6'11.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1 What team? The Rockets.
Speaker 2
The Rockets. Hell yeah, man.
Look, I think, salute to Jenny as always. You feel me? And the beautiful baby girl in the world right now.
You know, she always got that going on.
Speaker 2 So, her paying attention to anything is a big, big plus.
Speaker 2 But, yeah, I think Shay Gildis, Shane Gildis, Alexandra, I think that watching that Netflix show, he came out smelling like roses on that because like his personality was able to shine and you could see his mentality.
Speaker 2 He's just an overall good guy. And I love watching him on that show.
Speaker 1 Juju with the NBA getting going tonight. What will happen in the NBA this season?
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah, man. I made a top 10 things that will happen this season in the NBA list.
Number 10, the Golden State Unks will be the four seed.
Speaker 1 Interesting. Why?
Speaker 2 Bruh, they got the most important thing you need to have on your team to be able to succeed in life. Al Jorford.
Speaker 2 He's going to bring it together. So four seed for the very specific.
Speaker 1 Not a middle seed, the four seed. Old face, new place.
Speaker 2 Number nine, John Morant will have a new weapon of choice on a celebration.
Speaker 1
So you're not saying like an offensive weapon that he could pass the ball to. You're talking about a celebratory bazooka, possibly.
Maybe like a sword, like Chichi Rodriguez. Slingshot.
Speaker 2 Yeah, or a pair of nunchucks.
Speaker 1 Juju, what do you make of his signature shoe? I love
Speaker 1 the newest volume of the Jaws.
Speaker 2
Right. I think he did it with that one.
I think, hands down, right now, he has the best shoe in the entire NBA right now.
Speaker 1
I don't know about that. I don't know.
Who do you think? What do you think? The Ant ones were
Speaker 1
great. Great.
It was great. Great.
But the Jaws, for the low-cut, man. Not a low-cut guy.
That's why. I had an ankle thing.
Okay. Well, for fashion.
High or low ankle. It was mid, actually.
Wow.
Speaker 1 Oh, wow. The rare.
Speaker 2
Number eight. I'm sorry, guys.
The Miami Heat will trade Bam Autabayo or Tyler Hero.
Speaker 2 Wow.
Speaker 1 Man, with any luck, it's both.
Speaker 2 What you think about that, Zaz?
Speaker 1
I think there's no way they trade Bam out of bio. I could see if the right deal comes along that they would trade Tyler Hero.
Important to note that the deadline for an extension passed last night.
Speaker 1 Now, it just means that he would get more money next year if he signs the extension. But based on what you just said there, it's important to note that.
Speaker 2 For sure. Number seven, Zion Williamson will put back on a couple pounds during a Pelicans losing streak
Speaker 1 or winning streak. Yeah, it's probably already happened,
Speaker 1 or or just living his life. I picture him like after Media Day treating like a boxer that just made weight, yeah, where he just like after
Speaker 1 UFC fighter.
Speaker 1 Wow, you thought this was a light, heavyweight fight, huh, pal.
Speaker 2 Number six, it's gonna be a snowy January afternoon, maybe January 9th, January 12th. For those
Speaker 1 happening,
Speaker 2 and all of a sudden, Adam Silver is going to drop the hammer on Steve Bommer with his punch.
Speaker 1 Here's my counter to it.
Speaker 1
It's probably going to be a soggy March morning after the all-star game. Yeah, definitely after the all-star game, but I don't think he's dropping any kind of hammer.
Damn.
Speaker 2 Number five, the Dallas Mavericks will beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 Is that a first-round matchup, you think?
Speaker 2
I think so. I think it is.
All right. Nico Revenge tournament.
Okay.
Speaker 2 Number four,
Speaker 2 Russell Westbrook will have an on-court confrontation with LeBron James.
Speaker 1 By the way, Zaz,
Speaker 1
old face, new plays, where does Russell Westbrook play this season? Sacramento. Out of boy.
I knew that. I knew that.
After reading that article. Tell me he punches him and says, Welcome to Earth.
Speaker 2 Gout, King's disease. Number three, the Washington Wizards will be ass.
Speaker 1
Bold. I was like, there's no way he's going playoffs.
Bold.
Speaker 1 That's stuff you're not hearing anywhere else.
Speaker 2 Number two,
Speaker 2 Victor Wimbinyama will do something that we have never seen before before four times.
Speaker 1
The different things every single time are the same thing for you. He's already doing something right now.
Staying healthy.
Speaker 2 How?
Speaker 1
He's still grown. He's like nine feet tall now.
It's ridiculous. I warned you this day would come.
I'm not a hater.
Speaker 1
I'm trying to protect the game. Has he had a quadruple double with blocks yet? No.
He's gonna. No one's doing it with blocks.
Speaker 2 Bro, looking back, Mike Ryan, you was right, bro. What are we rooting for to happen with them?
Speaker 2
This is league domination. He got new moves.
He got new pro steps. Frustrating.
Speaker 2 Number one thing that will happen this season, and this pains me to say this, the NBA finals will be the Denver Nuggets versus the New York Knickerbocks. Whoa.
Speaker 1 A week. East.
Speaker 1
East. Who's the superstar leading? the Knicks to that finals? Because that may not be on the roster presently.
Wow.
Speaker 2 Mike Brown's round one time in his career.
Speaker 1 He got to go to the finals. All right.
Speaker 2 I think Yabu Sele and Jordan Clarkston are going to be big, big transactions that will come bear fruitful during the playoffs.
Speaker 1
All right. Speaking of big, he's listed at 283 pounds.
Yabusele? Yabu Sele. Yeah.
283 pounds. Working at Yabu Solid.
Speaker 1 Juju, you got some polls for us today?
Speaker 2 Yes, sir. Do you think Tyreek Hill watches dolphins games? No way.
Speaker 1 I think he does.
Speaker 2 93% of the audience says, no, he does not.
Speaker 2 And the last poll, should you throw a football at a baby stroller?
Speaker 2
61% of the audience says, no, you should not. And those are your polls.
39%.
Speaker 1 What? All right.
Speaker 1 What are we doing? Chris, you got Thursday Thunder?
Speaker 1 It's against the spread.
Speaker 1 Because it's Tuesday. Yes.
Speaker 1
Against the spread. On a Tuesday kid.
I might have told you to stay against the spread, but Thursday Thunder. Or Thursday Thunder.
Thursday Thunder.
Speaker 1 Tuesday Thunder.
Speaker 1
Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
I mean, Quinn, I should have known. It's not Thursday.
I wish we could record our headphones. I definitely said Thursday.
Speaker 1
I definitely at one point said against the spread. I may have the second time said Thursday Thunder.
Roy, what do we got? Wait, Thursday. It's against the spread.
It's Tuesday Thunder.
Speaker 1
Against the spread is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
All right, we got Devils at Maple Leafs tonight.
Speaker 1 The Devils have failed to cover the puck line in 11 consecutive row games following the win. They won 5-3 against Edmonton.
Speaker 1
The Maple Leafs have won eight consecutive games against the Metropolitan Division. Anthony Stolaw has also called out the team after their loss against the Kraken.
He called out the Maple Kings.
Speaker 1
So I think they got some fire under their asses. The Maple Leafs are going to end up covering the spread at one and a half tonight against the Devils.
Tony.
Speaker 1
I'm going to take OKC tonight in a big game. I know.
Big game tonight. If you're doing a big game, not a big game.
Speaker 1
OKC, Houston. Houston.
KD coming back to OKC. They're putting up the banner, like you said.
Yeah,
Speaker 1 I think I go big game. Big game.
Speaker 1 Big game.
Speaker 1
Big game. I'm going to take the Oklahoma City Thunder minus seven and a half against the spread.
I think that the Rockets still still got to figure out their situation offensively. Chemistry.
Speaker 1
Chemistry, who's going to play when, who's going to handle the ball. Reed Shepard is going to play.
I mean, Thompson is going to handle the ball. Is he ready for that? No Fred Van Bleet.
Speaker 1
No, Fred Van Bleet. It's a big injury for them.
It's big because he's the captain of that offense. Okay.
Speaker 1
Now we're looking at OKC. Very exciting team.
Coming off a win from the championship. OKC, minus seven and a half again.
Speaker 1
Panthers a thunder. I want to play.
Oh, go, yeah, yeah, yeah. And go ahead, Mike.
I'll take USF minus three and a half against against Memphis. I don't like Memphis.
I don't like Memphis
Speaker 1 one bit. And I think USF is good.
Speaker 1 Of course, I'm gonna go ahead and get a Thursday Thunder. Even though it's a Thunder.
Speaker 1 Two says Thunder.
Speaker 1 The second time, maybe.
Speaker 2
Third Day Thunder. Winner last week.
Yeah, you did.
