Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, so you're back with another edition of fast Break.
That's Betty Bros. You know me not voice some guys
me the Feeling Rocks route from Junior here at your sir. Okay,
(00:42):
I don't know how we pulled that one off. Not
gonna lie. This is why preseason betting is a danger
Russ dangerous. I just want you to know. I had
Bulls plus eight and a half. The Bulls were down
(01:03):
twenty one points in the fourth quarter. They started to
quarter down twenty one. They tried to make a push
in the beginning. Five minutes left in the game. The
Bulls are going to the line down twenty one points.
(01:24):
Shout out to Javon Carter, Shout out Daylyon Sherry. Shout
out to the Chicago Bulls because how they ended up
covering this line after being down twenty one with five
minutes to go. It just proves the no quit and
it makes me feel even better about that Chicago Bulls
future because for some reason, when this team probably should quit,
(01:45):
they're not going to. They're not going to. This is
such a playing team I cannot This is a complete
play in team. They're not gonna be good, but there'll
be a playing team, which means I'm probably gonna be
the Bulls sometimes, but I'm definitely gonna fade the Bulls
good amount of times as well. All Right, because of that,
(02:07):
I've been scared straight off a preseason for a night. Also,
don't have any big favorite, big favorites that I want
to fade. A lot of the games are a lot closer.
Almost got there that Matveris game, and maybe I was
looking at it over and then I was kind of
talking myself into the Lakers, but not one hundred percent
there yet. So I'm just gonna give out two futures
(02:27):
and we're gonna talk about the state of New York's
basketball right now. But before we do that, I have

All right, let's get into the Brooklyn Nets as the
(03:35):
first New York team we're gonna talk about here in
the futures department. Brooklyn Nets have a win total of
twenty and a half. And I promise you this breakdown
of this win total is not gonna be long. I
just want to read to you a quote from the owner,
Joe Side, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, on their
(03:57):
strategy in twenty twenty six. We have one first round
pick in twain twenty six and we hope to get
a good pick. You can predict what kind of strategy
we will use this season. Did you just hear that?
And like, I don't want to I don't want you
to think that they were just chair picking a part
(04:19):
of the conversation. No, this is literally what he's saying.
I have to say, we're in a rebuilding year. We
spent all of our picks in twain twenty five. We
had five first round picks this past summer. That's when
he came back to say, we have one first round
pick in twain twenty six and we hope to get
(04:40):
a good pick. You know, tanking, it's a phrase that
a lot of people love to throw around at times
when they talk about tank. They use it with my
(05:01):
New York Giants, and they use it in football all
the time. Basketball it is revolutionized seventy six ers, you
talk about it all the time. Tanking has been thrown
around very recently of how teams conduct themselves, and teams
are too assume to be tanking. There's not many times
(05:23):
that we actually get ownerships saying basically we are tanking.
We won a good pick this year. How do you
get a good pick in the NBA. It's not by
winning games under twenty and a half. Nothing else needs
(05:44):
to be said about that team in Brooklyn. Nothing else
needs to be said about that team in Brooklyn under
twenty and a half wins for the Brooklyn next let
me mention one more New York team and where I
like to win total. And I think you all know
where this is going. But before I do that, gotta
(06:07):
make sure that I talk to you about the Betting

because I have reason to be excited this year. Now,
I will temper my excitement as much, but as of
right now, very objectively speaking, the Knicks are in a
(07:11):
very good position. The Knicks did not make too much
structural change, aside from firing Tom Thibodeaux, which I've been
calling for for years, and I've been saying this next
team needed something different and he was not going to
lead us to a championship. And it was very, very
(07:31):
good for us to get to the NBA finals last year.
Took advantage and beat Boston when nobody else gave us
a shot. I get that. However, this year under Mike Brown,
with this team, after getting a taste of of the
Eastern Conference finals, I think they're about to go on
(07:52):
a run. And you have question marks all over the
west of the Eastern Conference. Do you know if Philadelphia
is gonna stay healthy all season? No, what's going on
with Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers And what are
they gonna look like in another season after they got
embarrassed in the first round. Okay, no Tyreese Haliburton for
the Pacers, no Jason Tatum for the Celtics. Go down
(08:14):
the list. The Eastern Conference is getting weaker now. Some
teams have stayed the same, which makes them also rise.
Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, I think are gonna be dangerous.
But like there's so many teams that are just not good.
The Bucks, I'm not afraid of that. That is literally
Giannest and nobody else on that roster. Miami Heat are
(08:35):
the Miami Heat a five running team. I just talked
to you about the Chicago Bulls, and I don't think
they're gonna be good. This New York Knicks roster rivals
some of the best teams in the Western Conference. This
starting five rivals some of the best teams in the
Western Conference right now. And so you bring in Mike Brown.
(08:56):
Mike Brown comes in. He's gonna get the transition defense,
which is was a reason why the Knicks could not
keep up with the Indiana Pacers in that series. He's
gonna get that going. Hopefully the defense doesn't take a
drop off at all whatsoever, and then you know, offensively,
if they're in the game, Brunson's going to bring it
home at the end. You have a great feeling about that.
(09:20):
I think this is gonna be another good year for
Jalen Brunson. Kat very very good year last year. I
think he's gonna have another great year. And guess what
this next team now has a bench. You have Jordan
Clarkson coming off of the bench. You have Mitchell Robinson
who is gonna continue to come up the bench, may
even play in the starting lineup in some matchups. And
(09:42):
yes he's not gonna be playing on back to backs,
but the health of Mitchell Robinson stays there. Then this
next team has Kat and Mitchell Robinson in the front court.
So you look at this and I look at this
next team and I add all of this on top
of the moments where I think that it could be
(10:03):
questionable on how they figure this out because they gotta
figure out the minutes, and they gotta get everybody comfortable
because the starters have been so used to playing all
of the minutes. They gotta get everybody couple. They brought
in Malcolm Brogden. Malcolm Brogden has looked really, really good
in preseason in terms of when he's assisting Knicks to ball,
They're getting wide open looks because Malcolm Brogden is playing
(10:24):
his role. He's being a point guard and he's taking
over the non Jalen Brunson minutes keeping the offense rolling.
I think the Knicks offense is gonna be really good
all year, especially especially if Jordan Clarkson can stay healthy
coming off the bench, him and Duce McBride playing alongside
Malcolm Brogden off the bench, they can go on runs.
And so I bring all of that all the way
(10:47):
around to say that this next team is gonna be
good this year. They're gonna be one of those regular
season powerhouses that win a lot of regular season games.
I pray that translates over to the playoffs, but I
think they're gonna win a lot of regular season games,
especially because the early part of their schedule is the easiest,
and they can go ahead and stack up wins as
they continue to figure out what this rotation looks like,
(11:10):
what this team looks like, and build that culture towards
the end of the season where they really make that
push and finish off this win totals. So give me
the New York Knicks over fifty three and a half wins,
and those are two futures that I will leave you with.
Next under twenty and a half, Next over fifty three
and a half. Pretty easy, pretty simple stuff right there,
and that makes three win totals on the season. If
(11:32):
