Yo ok I messed this up and didn't do the seeding right - the semis and QFs are by conference, not open seeding. That's on me, my bad. I still got TWolves over Knicks in the chip but yeah I guess ignore the earlier rounds. Appreciate everyone who called that out 🤝
I don’t think wolves will win the championship for the in season tournament bc they have been pretty inconsistent this year so far, they lost to spurs, heat (regular season heat), lakers, and Dallas Mavs.
Groups should be based off division imo. There’s no reason to ‘win the division’ in the nba like there is in the nfl, and it’d help to revive some rivalries.
@@aspectoftheyeti1232 You play division teams 4x times a season and your in-division standing and wins/loss counts for playoff tiebreakers... so there's that at least. 😂 I kind of like the luck of the draw with group play (matches the Vegas theme) and chance to create new rivalries.
@@Giantsfan233 I believe that because you can see how Giannis and other bucks talk about loving having him around. But making it to the finals and winning?? That’s just unhinged. He might help them stay above 500 but there’s only so much having one lovable goofball / motivational energy guy can do lol
@@AndrewFenichel But you picked the T-Wolves over the Cavs, the Casvs are clearly better. And the Cavs will still beat the Celtics in the group stage.
@@ziggyghx9777 how can you be so confident about a single elimination tournament three weeks into the season lmao. Cavs are definitely not "clearly better" than either of those teams
@@DameDollafor3bang That would be pretty funny if they just become the first “nba cup” dynasty 😂🤦♂️ Knowing lakers fans they would hype it all the way up too in the corniest way 😅 and maybe even start claiming they have more banners than Boston 😭 popping champagne and everything smh
If Ja is healthy enough then yeah. Anything can happen in that group obviously but I just like how Memphis can play different styles of lineups in a tournament setting
@@AndrewFenichel I feel like you're really underrating the 8-2 warriors right now. Just because they were low in the rankings last season doesn't mean that influences how they're gonna do this season.
Switch the group play rounds to the nba divisions so that winning your division actually matters, good alternative to the old rule where division winners get a higher seed in the playoffs and home court advantage
Warriors win 10-2, Warriors beating maverick and grizzlies. Next game warriors win against pelican and nuggets. Warriors win nba cup 100 percent let's see. You wrong prediction
@@dannyadams5834 feels like you know it was the Mavs cause you said that. Royce O Neal shoved Gafford in the back so Nurkic could get the rebound and give them the lead. Then the second game against the Lakers there was multiple times they got undeserved free throws and AD got hit in the face and they didn’t even call it.
@@tmacattack8302 i said the Mavs one because Every mavs fan was just pissed that they lost Nurkic Got shoved from behind. got his fts and then luka airballed a game winner
I appreciate you thinking my grizzlies can go that far but right now we are injured and while the grizzlies are incredibly deep so they can tread water and win games while missing guys It’s not a sure bet especially against a team like the Celtics
I respectfully disagree with your take. No way Memphis is going to make it out of the cup alive with the hospital that they've got, and the Timberwolves don't mesh together enough to go undefeated *yet*.
NBA cup should be just like the MLB. Mix west with east. More drama and match ups we won't be able see unless the finals or meaningless regular season games.

Respect to you calling yourself out on stuff like this
No big deal about the mistake
Your projection of the Cavs is bad

No it shouldn’t
Not a bad take. NBA “Divisions” have absolutely zero meaning to them rn.
Thats what Im telling people since last year

Tatum about to win and have to copy LeBron's celebration because it's the only one he has to copy.
I lowkey think Warriors might steal it
Teams that play fast benefit from this tournament (like the Pacers last year). So I do like your take!
but lakers won @@serbow
Yes
@@firstnamelastname6148yes but the pacers beat the celtics and bucks and knicks when no one thought they could even make it to the quarterfinals
Facts
Bucks would win not just the cup but the finals to if they had Thanasis
LOL THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOT RID OF HIM HE WAS GOOD LUCK
@@DameDollafor3bang Can’t tell if this is a joke take or not cause I have seen bucks fans 100% serious saying stuff like this lately💀😭
@@ramzeezthamightygodnah I think I remember in one interview with Giannis that Thanasis keeps him and the team motivated

Cavs gonna stay undefeated I feel
If the matchup vs Boston in the group stage was in Cleveland instead of in Boston, I would’ve picked Cleveland

Go Warriors
Yes sirrrrf
And sixers
And the group the Thunder are in will be hard to predict I think it could be Thunder or Suns or Lakers.
Thunder have jdub as thecenter
Imagine if the Nets win the Cup and still get Flagg or Ace Bailey 😂
Nah. Cam Thomas is the rebuild ruiner
Really? You picked the grizzlies over gsw, nuggets and mavs?
If Ja is healthy enough then yeah. Anything can happen in that group obviously but I just like how Memphis can play different styles of lineups in a tournament setting
Winner of that group might go 2-2. It’s brutal
@@AndrewFenichel I feel like you're really underrating the 8-2 warriors right now. Just because they were low in the rankings last season doesn't mean that influences how they're gonna do this season.
@AndrewFenichel Ja is gonna be out for the next week or 2. I doubt they're winning in their group.
The Ant glazing from everybody is gettin out of hand 😂
He beat the Defending Champs and swept KD fuck you mean? You think he a bum?
He’s literally shooting better than curry right now, you have no reason to call it glaze
its not glaze when the stats back it up
Switch the group play rounds to the nba divisions so that winning your division actually matters, good alternative to the old rule where division winners get a higher seed in the playoffs and home court advantage
WARRIORS???
Are there not west/east knockout games? I think you have the format wrong
yep that's my bad, I stand by Knicks TWolves in the Finals but I thought the seeding was just overall, not by conference
@@AndrewFenichel knicks vs t wolves final would he fun as a knicks fan
Not having the Lakers even in the playoffs of the NBA cup is crazy they are going to go 7-0 again
bro how are the grizzlies gunna beat the celtics
Cuz the Celtics could care less, they are going for the championship, that’s the reason why Lakers won it last year
Lakers won this last year. Remember . Nobody cares abt this
@@HmzasdProdz in that term makes sense, but if I remember Mazzula said he wished he tried last year
How are the Grizzlies even going to win their group?😂
i retract my statement after the recent game we might be cooked
YEAHH lets go wolvess
🐺
W Andrew 🫡💪
the grizzles don’t have morant rn
There still really good
@@liltraythethirdnot better than Celtics
Don’t sleep on Scottie Pippen Jr until Ja gets healthy in a couple weeks
The warriors continue to get disrespected now they’re 2-0 in the group stage keep that same energy haters🤡😂😂
That snap was kinda nice ngl
wouldn’t the west and east teams have to verse their own conference teams in the quarter and semis
Finally a good Wolves take Andrew 🔥🔥
stay on that side when the Warriors win
Warriors win 10-2, Warriors beating maverick and grizzlies. Next game warriors win against pelican and nuggets. Warriors win nba cup 100 percent let's see. You wrong prediction
Me personally the suns look very lethal, to me i think that they will make to the championship game
Refs have given them two games this season. Almost three but luckily they lost in OT last game
@ what games have the refs giving the suns a win. you cant say it was the mavs.

Thank you for putting pacers in but we’re winning it all this time. ❤
nah not this channel aswell
Letsss go Warriors 🌟🌟
knicks vs wolves finals would be legendary
What is legendary about that???
@@sianifranckaxel8617Randle be KAT
Bro hates the cavs
Bro forgot IST Haliburton exists and will be returning this year
The cavs are invincible
bro the grizzlies team is ABSOLUTELY broken rn w injuries
I’m sorry but even as a twolves fan the trade isn’t working
Celts and Cavs will be a great storyline
You predicted the timberwolves to win it all and then they lose to the freakin trail blazers😂
twice
Grizzlies beating Boston is crazy
Feel like the kings are built to win this
I’d never thought I’d say this, but I need the Bucks to win this NBA Cup. It’s all I have left
imagine having no Lakers who is currently the NBA cup champions
Knicks are not playing that good lmao
They got a month to figure it out. And they’re healthy. A lot of teams aren’t rn
@@AndrewFenichelStill they won't pass OKC
Rockets disrespect is crazy😂
yesir❤
how u got my memphis team winning group C we are legit all injured with Bane, Smart and now Ja... Ill be amazed if we do win that group.
i think the cavs will win the east group c
As a Celtics fan Grizzles over Celtics is interesting but I can see that
This aged like fine wine (milk).
Warriors - Magic
Warriors win - Steph Tournament MVP
Memphis is crazy 😂
TWOLVES BABY 🐺🌲
Y do i have a strange feeling about the heat 😂
BELIEVE IN THE LAND ⚔️⚔️
bro really overthought it
Has he ever gotten a single prediction even closely correct lol
I appreciate you thinking my grizzlies can go that far but right now we are injured and while the grizzlies are incredibly deep so they can tread water and win games while missing guys It’s not a sure bet especially against a team like the Celtics
i’m a grizzlies fan but i don’t think we’ll beat the celtics
Don’t sleep on the Magic
Let’s go Grizzlies
He doesn’t believe that he just wants to see that happen
People in the comments really think the Cavs are going 82-0 just cuz a hot start 😂😂
lol
The grizzlies 💀
I respectfully disagree with your take. No way Memphis is going to make it out of the cup alive with the hospital that they've got, and the Timberwolves don't mesh together enough to go undefeated *yet*.
Grizzlies over warriors is CRAZY
YO COME back here when the wolves won’t make it to the championship
I never would have guessed 😂
Magic get the wildcard with a group like that
GRIZZLIES winning C?? You gotta be playing😭😭
Bro always hates on the celtics
No warriors?
🤷♂️
As a knicks fan, I am very much disappointed in you Andrew
NBA cup should be just like the MLB. Mix west with east. More drama and match ups we won't be able see unless the finals or meaningless regular season games.
Wouldnt east and west quarterfinals be seperate?
yeah I messed that up
The suns is moved up though
My question is how the heck are the pels a 3 seed and the Warriors a 4 seed and the Warriors Beat them twice?
do u think jokic has/had a higher offensive peak then kobe?
warriors disrespect needs to be studied
Stop Cooking
I dont know if the wolves would care bout it tho
Whe he said in season tournament i thought he said ncaa tournament and i fell out of my chair
If only the sixers were healthy
Hear me out, the suns are gonna win.
I’m surprised they didn’t call it World Cup and not nba cup
Andrew thoughts on the nuggets 5 game win streak
Jokic is playing out of his damn mind. I still think they need to make a trade at some point
@@AndrewFenichel i think we should trade zeke nnaji and peyton watson for a role player
@@jobangarcha-b5q trading peyton watson would be front office malpractice
I got warriors they are rolling right now I’d like to see them and the cavs run it back
why are the knicks over the sixers with embiid? they’ve looked awful
Bruh if you read my article I said Magic vs Twolves and picked the the Twolves since ANT was playing too good
Yeah blazers kind of own the timberwolves
My prediction is, whoever wins it all
Is not raising a banner for it.
& make the Lakers feel even worse for doing it 😭
What if the Lakers go back to back?😭
@ Worst case scenario. For everyone. Cause everyone would say, “winning the award that don’t matter again” 😭
warriors disrespect is crazy
I got warriors or nuggets because Grizzlies are injured and Mavericks are bad this season.
KD hurt, give me Nuggets
Lakers going back to back
The bracket is still east west until the final bro
Yall sleeping on the warriors fr
thoughts on dat chiefs blocked fg!!!! we goin undeafeated
@@jobangarcha-b5q gonna lose to the Bills
@@cambob42069 Bills cant beat good teams
bills havent beatin playoff team this year besides arizona
Celtics and Knick’s I think
Bro you glazing the grizzlies so bad 😂 especially when they have the nuggets, mavs and warriors on their bracket
he could have chosed any of those other teams and people will still say “glazing on the _____”
Aaaand the wolves lost
Reigning champ Lakers don’t even make the tourney? Idk, I think Bron wants another banner to his name
wrong stephan curry destroying everyone
