Transcript of Postgame Show: Top 10 Things That Will Happen This NBA Season (feat. JuJu Gotti)

All right, Smirnov. Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka. Here's the deal. Game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again. Smirnov belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnov. Otherwise, it's not a real game day. They've been doing this since 1864, which is, I don't even want to do the math. A long time. They're award-winning. They make cocktails super easy, and they're all about bringing fans together. So, yeah, we do game days. That's their thing. And if you're over 21, you should, too. Grab a bottle of Smirnov at your local retailer and head to smirnov. Com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Please drink responsibly. Smirnoff, number 21 Vodka. Distilled from Grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.

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?

Yes, sir. Very excited, man. You got to know I've been waiting for this day all year. 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 this.

What do you make a Kevin Durant? He's going to play for the Rockets this year, okay? What do you make a Kevin Durant? He's going to have to stand there in Oklahoma City. He's going to watch them put that banner up right in front of him.

Right. I think the Thunder organization deserve a lot of credit, as always, for how they did their rosters. 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 5 Netflix show. Come to find out, they traded James Harden without his knowledge. They broke up the situation before it was time. 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.

Drew, I think Starting 5 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. You remember how back in the day, the game 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, huh? 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, Shane Gillis, I love him. He's such a nice guy. So she watches the entire NBA story lines on delay, but now she's getting into the scene. She's like, Big game tonight. Rockets, Kevin Durant. I like him against Shane Gillis, Alexander. I'm like, Yeah, Shane Gillis, babe. She's like, Wow, big game. By the way, really quick. Tallest NBA starting five ever we could have? 6-7, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11, 6-11.

What team?

The Rockets.

The Rockets. Hell, yeah, man. Look, I think, salute to Jennie as always, you feel me? And the beautiful baby girl in the world right now. She always got that going on. So her paying attention to anything is a big plus. But yeah, I think Shane Gill is Alexander. I think that watching that Netflix show, he came out I'm smelling like roses on that because his personality was able to shine, and you could see his mentality. He's just an overall good guy, and I love watching him on that show.

Juju, with the NBA getting going tonight, what will happen in the NBA this season?

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 4 seed.

It's Interesting. Why?

Bro, they got the most important thing you need to have on your team to be able to succeed in life. Al Horford. He's going to bring it together. So 4 seed for the Very specific.

Not a middle seed, the four seed.

Old face, new place.

Number nine, Ja Morant will have a new weapon of choice on a celebration.

So you're not saying like an offensive weapon that he could pass the ball to. You're talking about a celebratory bazooka, possibly.

It'd be like a sword, like Chichi Rodriguez. A slingshot.

Yeah, or a pair of nunchucks.

Juju, what do you make of his signature shoe? I love the newest volume of the Jaws.

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.

I don't know about that. I don't know. Who do you think? The Ant ones were...

The Ant ones were great.

Great. That was great.

But the Jaws for the low-cut, man.

Not a low-cut guy. That's why. He had an ankle thing. Okay.

Well, for fashion.

High or low ankle?

It was mid, actually. Wow.

The rare.

Number 8. I'm sorry, guys. The Miami Heat Wheel They will trade Bam out of bio or Tyler Hero this year.

Wow. Man, with any luck, it's both.

What do you think about that, Zaz?

I think there's no way they trade Bam out of bio. I could see if the right deal comes along, they would trade Tyler Hero. Important to note that the deadline for an extension passed last night. 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. For sure.

Number seven, Zion Williamson will put back on a couple of pounds during the Pelican's losing streak.

Or winning streak. It's probably already happened.

Or just living his life.

I picture him after Media Day, treating like a boxer that just made weight, or he just after.

Yeah, UFC fighter. You thought this was a light heavyweight fight, huh, pal?

Number six. It's going to be a Snowy January afternoon, maybe January ninth, January 12th. Nothing is happening. And all of a sudden, Adam Silver is going to drop the hammer on Steve Ballmer with his punch.

Here's my counter to it. I don't think so. 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 hammer.

Damn. Number five, the Dallas Mavericks will beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs. Seeds.

Is that a first-round matchup, you think?

I think so. I think it is. All right. Nico Revence tournament. Okay. Number 4, Russell Westbrook will have an on-court confrontation with LeBron James.

By the way, Zaz, new old face, new place. Where does Russell Westbrook play this season?

Sacramento.

Atta boy. I knew that. I knew that after reading that article. Tell me he punches him and says, Welcome to Earth.

Gout. King's disease. Number 3, the Washington Wizards will be Ass.

Bold. I was like, there's no way he's going play-off.

Bold.

That's stuff you're not hearing anywhere else.

Number two, Victor Wimpiama will do something that we have never seen before four times.

The different things every single time or the same thing four times?

He's already doing something right now. Staying healthy. How?

He's still growing. He's like nine feet tall now.

He's ridiculous. I warned this day would come. I'm not a hater. I'm trying to protect the game.

Has he had a quadruple double with blocks yet? No. He's going to.

No one's doing it with blocks.

Bro, looking back, Mike, Ryan, you was right, bro. What are we rooting for to happen with them? This is league domination. He got new moves. He got new pro steps. Frustrating. 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 Knickerbockers.

A week east.

Who's the superstar leading the Knicks to that final? Because it may not be in the roster presently.

Mike Brown has been at the first round one time in his career. He got to go to the finals, aren't it?

I think Yabu Sele and Jordan Clarkson are going to be big, big transactions that will come We're fruitful during the playoffs.

Speaking of big, he's listed at 283 pounds. Yabu Sele? Yabu Sele. 283 pounds.

Working on a Yabu solid.

Chuju, you got some polls for us today?

Yes, sir. Do you think Tariq Hill watches Dolphins games? No way.

I think he does.

93% of the audience says, No, he does not. And the last poll, Should you throw a football at a baby stroller? Roles. 61% of the audience says, No, you should not. And those are your posts. 39%.

What?

All right. What are we doing?

Chris, you got Thursday Thunder? It's against the spread.

Because it's Tuesday. I might have told you to say against the spread, but Thursday Thunder.

Or Thursday Thunder.

Tuesday Thunder. Against the spread is presented by DraftKings.

Draftkings, the Crown is yours.

I mean, grand, I should have known. It's not Thursday.

I wish we could record our headphones. You definitely said Thursday Thunder. 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.

Against the spread. It's presented by DraftKings. Draftkings, the Crown is yours.

All right, we got doubles at Maple Leaves tonight. The doubles have failed to cover the Puck line in 11 consecutive road games. Following the win, they won 5-3 against Edmondson. The Maple leaves have won eight consecutive games against the Metropolitan division. Anthony Stoll loss also called out the team after their loss against the Kraken. He called out the Maple. So I think it got some fire under their ass as the Maple leaves are going to end up covering the spread at one and a half tonight against the Devils. Tony.

I'm going to take okay seats tonight in a big game.

I know.

Big game tonight.

If we're doing big game, not a big game. Okc, Houston.

Houston. Kd coming back to OKC. They're putting up the banner, like you said. Yeah, I got to go big game. Big game. 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 got to figure out their situation offensively. Chemistry. Chemistry. Who's going to play when? Who's going to handle the ball? Reid Sheppard is going to play. Ahmed Thompson is going to handle the ball. Is he ready for that?

No Fred Vanbleet.

No Fred Vanbleet. It's a big injury for them. It's big because he's the captain of that offense. Now we're looking at OKC. Very exciting team coming off a win from the Championship. Okc, Pan-Cetern-Happ.

I want to play. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead, Mike. I'll take USF minus three and a half against Memphis. I don't like Memphis. I don't like Memphis one bit. I think USF is good. Of course, you did. Tuesday Thunder. Even though it's Tuesday Thunder.

Tuesday Thunder.

Chris definitely said Thursday Thunder.

The second time, maybe.

Thursday Thunder, winner last week. Yeah, you did.
