What's the worry y'all welcome back to me rambling about basketball with absolutely no notes We have to stress that absolutely no notes. We're in the last day of the regular season and everything matters y'all look at today's slated game starting at the very early boom moon anew in my time to the very late nine o'clock We have nothing but NBA basketball it's a beautiful day for the Sunday man and every single game matters whether it be for playoff Seating or lottery odds in my team is in a lottery for what the fifth year in a row fourth year in a row We're down bad every single game matters. We only have three out of the 20 potential playoff seedings secured Three out of 20 and that's exactly what Adam silver and the team of NBA people Wanted when they thought about this playing last year or guest time this year for the first time for full season Then every game would matter and here we are here we are going through that So you're looking at me like can you why are you making this video now and I waiting until after these games complete You can talk about the playoff we're gonna do that too But I want to take a step back and look at this season as a whole Without any notes. I feel like this video will be amazing if the host of this video cared enough to do research and write notes and write a script Hey other youtubers to get youtubers. Oh, I guess NBA youtubers if you want a good video idea Take a look at this regular season as a whole and write a script and grade it about how Fun I guess how fun or how enjoyable it was because that's what I'm doing without any notes I think this season started off with the bank Start off an absolute bang with the James Harden straight, you know James Harden one of the greatest players of our era Teams up with two of the other greatest players of our era and well They they put form this super team in Brooklyn and I'm gonna say this now and I could be eating these words or whatever and a month or two I feel like there's parody in the NBA Can you how I was at parody if Katie Kyrie and James Harden all play for the same team because we have a scene of play What is it nine games technically today is gonna be the 10th game they've ever played together as a whole and Maybe if they played a whole season or majority of the season there would be no parody But I'm gonna say it there's multiple teams out that I believe can win a championship other than the Brooklyn nets So that's amazing as far as playoffs go But that trade happened and well It's set a lot of things and to gear the Brooklyn nets became a legitimate a this team is super super serious Even though they were playing really well before the trade and then the Houston Rock is got sit into a major major tank And they are sitting out they the worst team and I believe they are the worst team and I'll be Buy a few games so sat out to them because They're winning for their own standards And that that trade just matters so much is gonna be one of the biggest trades in NBA history I was watching or listening to Jackie McMullan. I think it was on Bill Simmons podcast a couple of weeks ago and she had said This year has a lower injury rate than any of the previous couple seasons and I'm on the plane when I'm listening to this. I don't have Wi-Fi so I can't look it up for myself and I still haven't looked it up and I thought to myself There's no way Every single team of majority of teams out here suffered from a major injury or Health and safety protocol and that's what I'm thinking about now when she said those statistics There's no way they could have been incorporated health and safety protocols because every team guy hit dramatically this season And when you think about that That's what's probably preventing this season from being a really really good regular season because so many players Missed high. I'm just looking at the standings in front of me the 76ers miss Jorland Be was the MVP favor to the first couple months of the season he gets injured and boom Yo gets continues to blossom and now yo kids is gonna win an MVP award this year The Brooklyn that makes it make a trade for James Harden. Uh-oh Kevin a rant gets injured a bunch carry Irvin is getting injured a bunch and now James Harden misses a significant amount of time the box In the next they have been relatively relatively healthy this season the Hawksman's click a palafoga Chuck at the season saintly with John Collins the Celtics the pages and the raven's are three teams We thought were staples to be competitive teams this season all three of them got decimated from health and safety protocols and injury They're best player the Celtics best player J. St. Amiss two weeks in ahead to come back with an inhaler after never having Breathe the problems because of health and safety protocols so every single team the the wizards miss a hole two weeks as a Organization so Jack and McMullan there's no way that statistic is counting how to say the protocol Which is even more impactful than injury if you ask me like injury and all these things have been so big because this the Lakers went on the winetapes have last year in the bubble and they get even better they get much less hero Dennis struder Marcus. Oh, they get a even deeper team than a team that just won a championship and they should be on his victory Sweet victory run and they're the seventh seed right now. They might be in a play in because of what? Because of injuries because LeBron missed significant time because Anthony Davis missed significant time and And I think a lot of the has to do with them trying to fit a 72 game season and to such a small amount of time the second half of the season With three games and four nights four games and five nights I think it might be the spurs right there a team right now towards the bottom of the West that I was I was listening They were like man this team is on four games and five nights Just three years ago the NBA was doing everything they could to try to get rid of as many back-to-back as possible And they were like nah this year we need we need them back We need back-to-back to back we need all the travel imaginable and it took a toll Man one of my favorite teams is a base season the the different nuggets It's and though they stay extremely competitive extremely competitive about the Jamal Murray injury Probably won't win a championship or really be considered contenders because they had a Significant injury this could have been the year for them they legitimately could have been the year for them But because of injury they won't have that Next year though the way micro portage is playing and Jamal Murray come whatever whatever This season's a whole hasn't had that many Significant moments that I could think of off the top of my head We have the Oscar Robertson in pass my Russell Westwood which is beautiful. That's an all-time all-time moment We have yokets doing everything he can do Steph Curry's run, but other than that It feels like the games that should matter haven't lived up to the hype and that goes into my next point Which is the highest margin of victory in NBA history was this season? The highest margin of victory in NBA history was this season I think it's like 12.8 is a margin of victory which is insane I think it's that for the last couple years of stayed around a 10-tweet live And so it's not that much of an increase from any other season But it is higher and that that has to be an Adam Silver's hand because maybe this could be an anomaly season or maybe This is the way the NBA is going because every single team is running the same exact Do I sound like oh had yet same exact system are we gonna shoot as many Thursdays possible bro Some days we go hit some days we go miss oh we gonna miss today that other team that we're going against running the same system and they're hitting So now we're losing by 20 even though we might have been the favor going into this game We just didn't have it tonight. We didn't have it tonight And I know if that's a problem for Adam Silver and the league as a whole or maybe it wasn't anomaly But listen the last couple weeks remember the video I made Send that hey the playoffs are officially here because we're fighting for this you miss this game And you'll drop down from the 4c to the 7c I made a video just telling the world that the playoffs have an unofficially started because every game matters and it did matter But it did it because I was having trouble It really enjoying a lot of the games of the last week or so because yes, there's extreme playoff implications here But oh it's a 20 point game and I had gone into half. Oh Okay Margin the victory is great and and I guess that plays to a part that the NBA is such a talent to lead We have more people averaging 20 than any time before that could go into pace that could go into of course the three point shoot And we have so many people averaging 20 points per game and that's here's the same list plug to my show called game That's when I had Richard Jefferson on on the podcast I was like telling a world like this man average 20 points per game in an era where there were not 40 people averaging 20 points per game Now today's I'm going to points for game right now. I legitimately have to see how many players in the NBA are averaging over 20 points per game Because it's it's the highest it's ever been And I'm bad at looking at statistics. There are 31 players in the NBA averaging 20 or more points per game and a lot of people on the board laugh for every athlete is very close to bias Harris is very close but so many people are averaging over 20 points per game So that's like man RJ Brown you average 20 when it was maybe only 15 to 17 people average and 20 you know what I'm saying how many times in these ramble videos have you seen a cut in the edit Literally zero. This is the first time it's ever happened But I just want to get back to my initial thing. I want to ask y'all how much have you enjoyed this NBA season Because I can see it a couple different ways. You know what I'm saying because of course we're super happy to even be To have the NBA, you know, I'm saying to have the NBA right now But I can also see fans being like bro It wasn't that fun And the playoffs can save all the like I said there might be parity the Western conference playoffs I feel like it's going to be hard not to pick six and seven for every Single round starting from the beginning That's how stack the Western conference and in the east of comms maybe maybe a little bit less than that And the playoffs can really save this season and really do something. I'm excited to see what the ratings of today's games are and what the ratings of the play in games are because at the end of the day That's all it's about it's getting NBA fans engaged for this little moment um So I'm excited to see what that's about And yeah, did I did I make any good points in today's video? Oh, you know the point that I saw or did I looked up myself? So yes, I was I was my own source. This is the first time since 2015 That James Harden has and had a legendary performance and when I say legendary performance I mean a top 100 performance of all time The first time since 2015 that he didn't do it at all and of course that's because he was injured from majority this season but the first time And like half a decade where he didn't have a game that would go down in history as one of the top 100 games of all time That is insane That shows you how good James Harden is by the way that's that's that's and how much of an iron man He has been for his entire career because he gets his come out every single game Whether he he was in a club the night before and drop a 50 point triple double Has it really happened? Will it happen in the playoffs maybe he's back man. He's back um So yeah, we'll talk about the play-in and all those things and I'll get you all questions for that tomorrow Leave it like go watch call games shameless plug again It helps to turn out a lot we have Matt Barnes on the previous episode that he's on the next one if I'm not mistaken So go watch that um and leave a like on this video. Thanks. Bye
