The Jokic prediction i agree with, but it's hard for me to think that Joel (my favorite for next year due to voters fatigue ) will win MVP if Jokic produces the same production he did last year AND is the 1 seed in the west (assuming 60+ is 1 seed worthy) then he may break history and 3x is for the first time since bird. Glad you're posting more swish, you inspire me to stay on my grind.
@@bignoob24 he’d have to average those numbers to get mvp that’s coming from a nuggets fan. Back to back to back is nuts, but never impossible so let’s see what happens
@@moralesglitxhh27 Exactly he has to do even more historical shit to win mvp. But that guy literally said Jokic can't win another mvp. It would be crazy if he actually did it though.
Umm... are you forgetting about a guy in Dallas named Luka? Remember every year the narrative always been that Luka is never in physical shape, so far he always started slow but gotten real hot towards the end putting up insane stats! and this year he's coming in mid season form with a roster that fit his needs... I think it's very possible Luka can average a triple double through out the season and possibly win a scoring title based off of seeing him the eurobasket.
i don’t see mavs going through the second rounds simply bcuz their only good player is luka, the past 5 championships have had a big 2 or 3 Warriors: Steph, klay, draymond Bucks: Giannis, Middleton, Holiday Lakers: Davis, LeBron Pastors: Kawhi, Lowry Warriors: Steph, klay, draymond, kd
Lebron couldn’t even get them in the playin last year and u banking on a hurt unmotivated worst AD to help💀. Dem dudes only gone play a minimum of 55 games this year
Last year I believed in my heart in the cavs and if they never got hurt they would’ve been something. They’re going to be light years better, better than I’ve ever seen them outside of LeKyrie
They had all their core players available for the play-in and lost both including to the mediocre Hawks at home. Last years Cavs team was doing nothing. There are 15 teams in the East and they placed 9th. That is bad regardless of injuries, and other teams had significant injuries too. So delusional
I really think the cavaliers are going to be the grizzlies of last year and get a top 3 seed in the eastern conference and don't be shocked if they make a deep playoff run and potentially get to the finals. The last thing I want to add is JB bickerstaff is a solid and proven head coach for this Cavs squad and got to legit rim protectors in mobley and Allen.🏀😁
Mobley and Allen were complete food in the play-in. No one cares about post defenders in the playoffs when it’s raining 3s. The little Hawk guards had no real issues getting buckets on them either. Cavs are building the Utah Jazz East
Grizzlies will be strong this year too, we should’ve made a deep run last year, and people who watched the warriors series and followed it closely know injuries screwed us and it was still very close despite being only 5 games
My bold predictions: 1. WCF is a grudge match between Dallas and the clips 2. I agree with the Giannis take but if he doesn’t win mvp it will be Luka 3. Herb jones makes 1st team all defense 4. Brooklyn sweeps Boston in the playoffs 5. Suns don’t make the playoffs (or they do it through the play in) 6. Sacramento makes the playoffs 7. Atlanta doesn’t make the playoffs 8. OKC makes the play in 9. Philly loses in the playoffs and doc rivers finally gets fired 10. Russ bounces back a little and starts doing some more off ball work in the laker offense
I think that the Timberwolves will have the best record in the nba. They scored the most points and had a top half defense. With the addition with gobert will most likely make them into an elite defensive team while still being able to main a really good offensive core. Dont sleep on them
My bold predictions are 1. Clips will win the West and reach the NBA Finals 2. 2. Anfernee Simons will be Blazing Hot and will be the Most Improved Player of the Year 3. Lakers will not make the playoffs 4. Nugs will get the #1 seed 5. Embiid will finally win his first ever MVP 6. Warriors will lose in the 1st or 2nd round 7. Mike Malone will win Coach of the Year 8.Knicks wont make the play in 9. Magic will make the play in 10. Kings will make the play in
How many will Kyrie achieve next season? 1. Season MVP 2. ECF MVP 3. Finals MVP 4. 50-40-90 Season 5. All Star Starter 6. All Star MVP 7. 1st Team All NBA 8. Steals Leader 9. 2nd Championship 10. Max Deal
Here’s my 2022 extremely bold prediction. Timberwolves will break the nba in 2022. Anthony edwards will emerge as the second best prospect behind Luka, gobert and Kat will compliment each other perfectly, and dlo playing on a contract year will play amazing. Dlo and Goberts pick and roll game will be lethal. Ant might very well finish in top 3 mvp voting. Timberwolves will win 60 - 65 plus games.
MVP 2023: Luka or KD MIP 2023: Anthony Edwards DPOY 2023: Ben Simmons (Huge comeback szn) 2023 Eastern Conference Finals: Heat vs Nets 2023 Western Conference Finals: Nuggets vs Warriors 2023 NBA Finals : Warriors vs Nets 2023 NBA Champions: Brooklyn Nets in 7 2023 NBA Finals MVP: Kevin Durant *Bold Predictions but these are a possibility but I just hope for a fun and entertaining szn and most of all, I hope everyone can STAY HEALTHY!!!!!
I will say swishout if the pelicans stay healthy they definitely will be a force and shock a lot of people on how good they are going to be the sky is the limit with the pelicans.🏀😁
My hot take - With a recovering Kawhi, Paul George takes over as the number one option and proves that he should have been the Clips first offensive guy the whole time. The clippers win 55 games and George is an MVP finalist
I remember in 2013-3014 season Warriors were a young team with expectations just like the Pelicans because they upset the 3rd seed Nuggets and pushed the San Antonio Spurs to 6 games. Then the next year they ended up staying at the 6th seed, losing in the first round to the Clippers, their coach Mark Jackson got fired and they almost traded Klay Thompson for Kevin Love.
I agree with the Cavs take if healthy. If not top 3 definitely top 5. 76ers will finally get back to the nba finals. The biggest thing I’ve said for them is they need a true lock and they got arguably one of the best. Notice how far teams have gotten in the playoffs with PJ on the team for one year. Dallas will get over the hump if healthy. Something about Dorian or Reggie being a spark plug makes more sense to me if Christian starts and stays healthy. JaVale off the bench is also better value than ppl admit
"GSW are light years ahead of the NBA." FIRST OF ALL: (30, 11, 23, 5, 22, 3) SECOND OF ALL:(JaGreen, 0, 33, 4, 9, 00, 7, Kerr) GSW = digitized NBA = dial-up
I feel like the pistons will shock alot of people cade made the game look so easy at the second half of the season i think they’ll open up peoples eyes
The 2000’s was Kobe’s era, the 2010’s was LeBron’s era and the 2020’s is clearly going to be the Giannis Era, this season they’re going to be the team to beat while healthy
I predict the warriors to start off slow, maybe 3-5, then pick up and have a little win streak and be the 1st seed at a point, then drop down to maybe 2nd or 3rd
I agree that the Lakers will be a 6th seed before getting knocked out in the first round, I think the Cavs will probably be more of a 4th seed, I think saying the Pelicans will make the WCF is too much of a stretch and if healthy, the Bucks can make the finals again.
I heavily agree with the Nuggets & Lakers predictions, while I don't believe the Lakers will win 50 they definitely got screwed last season, the team just fell apart.
I agree with the Pelicans making the WCF the CJ trade last year did wonders for them and a healthy Zion with core they have is more than enough to make it that far. Plus I got Willie Green as my COTY
Bruh Zion's play 85 total games and is in his 4th year. I have to see this dude in more than 65 games in one season, hope his foot and knees stay healthy
i dont see the pelicans in the same tier as Denver, LAC and the Warriors so second round at best and for that to happen they would have to beat Dallas or Minnesota. Then you say the Lakers are winning 50 games which would be top 5, i think they will finish with max 45 wins and a trip to the playins.
I think outside of Jonas valucinuas, Herb Jones, and Jose Alvarado the rest of the squad is either average or below average so we will see how Willie green does in year two.🏀😁
My bold prediction is the Bulls will finish top 6 in the east, if Ayo and Patrick williams takes the steps the front office expects of them, they’ll be able to be decent until Lonzo gets back and we saw when lonzo and Ac are both there this bulls team is very competitive
Denver still wasn't fully healthy in the bubble. They were playing without Barton who was their starting SF. Even Gary Harris missed the first 2 games against the jazz
Bold prediction I have, I think if the nets play to their potential, they could be the best offensive team in nba history. If they play to their potential and if the guards step it up, they could have a top 3 defense. I think Claxton could win MIP and I think Ben Simmons has a career revival in comeback player of the year. Nets floor is a tie breaker 5th seed and their ceiling is nba finals appearance.
As a Warriors fan, I’ve been making the same case about the pelicans for weeks now. I think we’re going to end up beating the clippers and the pelicans will beat somebody else for us to end up in the conference finals. Either the old dynasty or the new up and comers go to the Finals which would be an awesome storyline. Same with the Mavs.
The Cavs still haven’t made the playoffs this century without LeBron. It’s a 9th seed that added an all star to be their best player even though Mitchell wasn’t good enough as the best player for the Jazz. It’s a solid team but I don’t see any superstar potential (Mobley will be great but I don’t believe you can build a team around a big- the last decade of champions are LeBron, Curry, Giannis, KD and Kawhi- all initiate from the perimeter). Cavs will be a middle seed playoff team for a few years and maybe make the ECF, which is good because they’ve done nothing without LeBron including last year, but I don’t believe in their core long term. Mitchell isn’t good enough to be a 1 and I highly doubt Mobley can be a 1 in the modern NBA as a center if the goal is to eventually compete and win championships
I do agree with LeBron James the Lakers always got a chance but unless his teammates and supporting cast step up it is going to be tough for them to win 50 games unless you tell that LeBron James and Anthony Davis both stay relatively healthy.🏀💯
Yo, I think that you should be mentioning Herb Jones while talking about the Pels. He's already considered one of the better perimeter defenders in the league, and this was in his rookie year. also, my hot take for this season, and I hate to say this, but: 76ers will make the ECF. Harden looks in good shape, Maxey will make a leap, Embiid will have another monster season (possibly win MVP too), and they got PJ Tucker
Bro you make really good videos but seriously I wish you would upload more consistently. I truly think you don’t upload enough. But Idk how ur life is but fr if u can make more videos do it bro ur insights are appreciated
i think even if the suns stay healthy their only gonna be a 4 seed at best. their window is pretty much closed and it seems last year was their best shot and they blew it. morale is down and with cp3 aging like he is and with ayton not even wanting to be on the damn team it doesn’t seem like they’ll be going very far
I really hope your Giannis prediction comes true. The Bucks are so fun to watch to me and Giannis is easily my favourite player in the league rn. I hope Siakam and Scottie Barnes also do well this season and the Raptors make it past the first round of the playoffs, not really gonna get my hopes up for a title though until Scottie’s in his prime and they add another piece or two. I definitely expect the Cavs and Grizzlies to be the potential dark horses of the league, maybe Minnesota or Dallas, I could easily see either of the first two making the finals though. If healthy, Bucks, Clippers, Celtics, or the Nuggets are probably the most likely although I’m skeptical about that second one. Seeing Giannis face off with Jokic in the finals would probably be my favourite matchup though.
I don’t think Jok could get another mvp unless he broke some crazy records this year and the nugs got 1st seed. I do however think the 1st seed is easily obtainable as long as Jamal Murray and mpj are healthy
So he says if healthy Pelicans makes it to wcf If healthy Lakers wins 50 games If healthy Nuggets number 1 But doesn't mention the clippers at all when they made it to the play in tournament without their stars almost all season ouch
I like your pics, lowkey adopting them lol. I predicted twolves in playoffs and lakers being subpar last year but I ain't see GSW in the finals. I got embiid or luka winning mvp
Swish I fw you but that lakers to bucks bench players comparison was crazy. Imo I would say the bucks bench is 5x’s deeper than the lakers, unless I misunderstood your point. Good vid family
If cavs are a top 3 seed does D Mitch enter MVP talks? I could see him 27-28, 4 and 5.5. I know guard talent in the league is incredible but if cavs are top 3 seed I see no reason as to why he shouldn’t be at least on an all NBA team
i think aaron nesmith will win most improved, elite defender and shot 50% from three in college averaging 20+, now that he’s in indiana i can see him getting much more recognition
3 games in and i think you might be right on the lakers. although they are now 0-3 they currently have the best defence in the league all they need is slightly better shooting and 50 ins wont be a problem. never count out lebron when he is the underdog 100%.
No shade on Mitchell....but why is it you think a west PG can just dominate in the east? I mean won't Kyrie be back? What about Trae, Harden and Melo? Just seems like a lot of pressure for a guy just traded aganist already established PGs
My bold predictions: - The blazers finish top 3 in the west and damian lillard wins MVP averaging 31/5/7 on 42% from 3 - The Kings make the playoffs - GSW doesn't make it out the first round - There will be no 60 win teams this year
Definitely can buy into the Pelicans making the WCF. The Nuggets I can't get with, the Lake show should be better just because they don't have to rely on Russ at PG, they have options a that position....but bro you didn't mention the Clippers.
Everything made sense until 3 minutes in when you said that the pelicans can potentially challenge golden state. Be a good team? Yes. Be a better team in a rapidly changing west? Ya. Challenge a golden state dynasty that has Steph Curry and just won a chip? You done lost your damn mind
As a Suns fan I am expecting embarrassment BUT the team is getting a new owner so the future is so bright for that reason alone. Do I think this core is getting a championship tho? Probably not. I think 5 years from now shit'll be interesting.
Jayson Tatum & Jaylen brown will be hungrier now that they’ve got to taste how the finals are & The Boston Celtics will return to the ECF to face off with the bucks.
As a Giannis fan I was irate at the fact that these lower seed teams were producing MVPs My standard for the MVP has always been how much do you affect winning! I wouldn’t have been mad if Joel won MVP last year but bruh DENVER WAS THE 6 SEED!
The Kings will make it the the Play-In Tournament, Tyrese Haliburton will have a breakout szn and win the Most Improved Player of the year, 1st time All Stars: Anthony Edwards, SGA, De'Aaron Fox, Scottie Barnes, Deandre Ayton & Jamal Murray. Jose Alvarado will make it to the All NBA Defensive Team, The MVP Race: (Luka, Steph, Giannis, Ja Morant & JT), LeBron will break Kareem's Scoring Record and the Clippers will be the dark horse team to win the chip🏆This SZN is gonna be 🔥
Hate to make it a Zion Ja thing but a healthy grizzlies team is more dangerous then a healthy pelicans to me, especially since they already proved how dangerous they are and only had an underwhelming exit cause of injuries
The suns is gonna make a comeback only for them to be frauds again, they may still be great during the reg, but they’ll definitely beat a team they ain’t supposed to but then lose to a team they were favored against. Jokic wins 3 straight mvps, last player to do it was bird, no just compare him and Jokic…you see it right. If Jokic has monster numbers and are the first seed by far, he gonna win it
The Jokic prediction i agree with, but it's hard for me to think that Joel (my favorite for next year due to voters fatigue ) will win MVP if Jokic produces the same production he did last year AND is the 1 seed in the west (assuming 60+ is 1 seed worthy) then he may break history and 3x is for the first time since bird.
Glad you're posting more swish, you inspire me to stay on my grind.
You're dreaming if you think Jokic will win MVP again. It doesn't matter how good his season is.
@@Lloyd00 So if he averages 50/12/12 with the #1 seed, he won't win Mvp?
@@bignoob24 he’d have to average those numbers to get mvp that’s coming from a nuggets fan. Back to back to back is nuts, but never impossible so let’s see what happens

Umm... are you forgetting about a guy in Dallas named Luka?
Remember every year the narrative always been that Luka is never in physical shape, so far he always started slow but gotten real hot towards the end putting up insane stats! and this year he's coming in mid season form with a roster that fit his needs... I think it's very possible Luka can average a triple double through out the season and possibly win a scoring title based off of seeing him the eurobasket.
He's not forgetting about him. He doesn't have to mention him for us to still know how great he is
i don’t see mavs going through the second rounds simply bcuz their only good player is luka, the past 5 championships have had a big 2 or 3

Predictions are interesting really wanted to hear a prediction on the sixers and the sun's though.
AD being healthy for a full season is indeed a very bold prediction.
The Cavs still haven’t made the playoffs this century without LeBron. It’s a 9th seed that added an all star to be their best player even though Mitchell wasn’t good enough as the best player for the Jazz. It’s a solid team but I don’t see any superstar potential (Mobley will be great but I don’t believe you can build a team around a big- the last decade of champions are LeBron, Curry, Giannis, KD and Kawhi- all initiate from the perimeter).
Cavs will be a middle seed playoff team for a few years and maybe make the ECF, which is good because they’ve done nothing without LeBron including last year, but I don’t believe in their core long term. Mitchell isn’t good enough to be a 1 and I highly doubt Mobley can be a 1 in the modern NBA as a center if the goal is to eventually compete and win championships
I do agree with LeBron James the Lakers always got a chance but unless his teammates and supporting cast step up it is going to be tough for them to win 50 games unless you tell that LeBron James and Anthony Davis both stay relatively healthy.🏀💯
I predict…NUGGETS WIN THE CHIP LFGOOOOOOO!!! 🎉🎉🎉
U were right
Yo, I think that you should be mentioning Herb Jones while talking about the Pels. He's already considered one of the better perimeter defenders in the league, and this was in his rookie year.
also, my hot take for this season, and I hate to say this, but: 76ers will make the ECF. Harden looks in good shape, Maxey will make a leap, Embiid will have another monster season (possibly win MVP too), and they got PJ Tucker
Bro you make really good videos but seriously I wish you would upload more consistently. I truly think you don’t upload enough. But Idk how ur life is but fr if u can make more videos do it bro ur insights are appreciated
I like your bold prediction for the 2023 NBA season, My bold prediction is Clippers win the whole thing this year.
I 100% agree with you on that one 🤝
not a bold prediction, might happen tho
Spicy lowkey take, Kawhi always keeps quiet, no socials. He's gonna come in and remind everyone why he's a 2 time FMVP.
Not really a bold prediction. It can happen if they're healthy
i think even if the suns stay healthy their only gonna be a 4 seed at best. their window is pretty much closed and it seems last year was their best shot and they blew it. morale is down and with cp3 aging like he is and with ayton not even wanting to be on the damn team it doesn’t seem like they’ll be going very far
Off court drama
I’m predicting a T Wolves vs Pelicans WCF
Herb Jones and Alvarado gonna be really good on defense for the pels
Pistons gonna make the play in
I really hope your Giannis prediction comes true. The Bucks are so fun to watch to me and Giannis is easily my favourite player in the league rn. I hope Siakam and Scottie Barnes also do well this season and the Raptors make it past the first round of the playoffs, not really gonna get my hopes up for a title though until Scottie’s in his prime and they add another piece or two. I definitely expect the Cavs and Grizzlies to be the potential dark horses of the league, maybe Minnesota or Dallas, I could easily see either of the first two making the finals though. If healthy, Bucks, Clippers, Celtics, or the Nuggets are probably the most likely although I’m skeptical about that second one. Seeing Giannis face off with Jokic in the finals would probably be my favourite matchup though.
I don’t think Jok could get another mvp unless he broke some crazy records this year and the nugs got 1st seed. I do however think the 1st seed is easily obtainable as long as Jamal Murray and mpj are healthy
The Cavs one is not really a bold take, the nuggets one might be a bold take but I could definitely see that happening
So he says if healthy Pelicans makes it to wcf
If healthy Lakers wins 50 games
If healthy Nuggets number 1
But doesn't mention the clippers at all when they made it to the play in tournament without their stars almost all season
ouch
I like your pics, lowkey adopting them lol. I predicted twolves in playoffs and lakers being subpar last year but I ain't see GSW in the finals. I got embiid or luka winning mvp
I got luka giannis and embiid as top 3 in MVP race, gobert Giannis and maybe jrue 4 dpoy and I got bucks, Lakers warriors and Boston as contenders
Swish I fw you but that lakers to bucks bench players comparison was crazy. Imo I would say the bucks bench is 5x’s deeper than the lakers, unless I misunderstood your point. Good vid family
If cavs are a top 3 seed does D Mitch enter MVP talks?
I could see him 27-28, 4 and 5.5. I know guard talent in the league is incredible but if cavs are top 3 seed I see no reason as to why he shouldn’t be at least on an all NBA team
i think aaron nesmith will win most improved, elite defender and shot 50% from three in college averaging 20+, now that he’s in indiana i can see him getting much more recognition
Great breakdown, keep it rolling.
the lakers prediction is just pure insanity💀
Bold take: Jordan Poole will win Most Improved Player, Sixth man of the year, or both of them
3 games in and i think you might be right on the lakers. although they are now 0-3 they currently have the best defence in the league all they need is slightly better shooting and 50 ins wont be a problem. never count out lebron when he is the underdog 100%.
That’s a bold bold prediction for the pelicans but makes a good point but not getting passed my Mavs 💪🏼
Draymond gon shoot over 40% from deep and average a double double. Curry is going to step up his defensive game up a notch
contract year dpoy chase and desire to win like nobodys business
No shade on Mitchell....but why is it you think a west PG can just dominate in the east? I mean won't Kyrie be back? What about Trae, Harden and Melo?
Just seems like a lot of pressure for a guy just traded aganist already established PGs
100% agree with the Pelicans take
My bold predictions:
- The blazers finish top 3 in the west and damian lillard wins MVP averaging 31/5/7 on 42% from 3
- The Kings make the playoffs
- GSW doesn't make it out the first round
- There will be no 60 win teams this year
U crazy 😂
After watching 6 videos I’m finally gonna sub lol
W takes on pelicans, lakers and nuggets
If Evan Mobley has a insane second year there’s a genuine possibility they can upset and go to the finals
I don’t see it they don’t got experience like the Celtics and Bucks to make deep playoffs runs
I agree with everything, the Lakers one even right. I wouldn’t say they’ll win 50+ games but I feel like bron gone lead them into the playoff.
Your takes legit Swish
if the entire pelicans team is healthy, they are not just making the WCF, they are making the NBA FINALS
Definitely can buy into the Pelicans making the WCF. The Nuggets I can't get with, the Lake show should be better just because they don't have to rely on Russ at PG, they have options a that position....but bro you didn't mention the Clippers.
Everything made sense until 3 minutes in when you said that the pelicans can potentially challenge golden state. Be a good team? Yes. Be a better team in a rapidly changing west? Ya. Challenge a golden state dynasty that has Steph Curry and just won a chip? You done lost your damn mind
💀😭😭
This year may probably be the last deep playoff run for the Suns so i hope they get it together for the season
As a Suns fan I am expecting embarrassment BUT the team is getting a new owner so the future is so bright for that reason alone. Do I think this core is getting a championship tho? Probably not. I think 5 years from now shit'll be interesting.
@@notmytruthTHEtruth Im just hopeful for them to get a stronger bench because watching them play against the 36ers' starters was awful for me
Jayson Tatum & Jaylen brown will be hungrier now that they’ve got to taste how the finals are & The Boston Celtics will return to the ECF to face off with the bucks.
It’s these young teams that are gonna take over man, cavs grizzlies and pelicans
Man, I just feel a type of way watching AD lace up low top Kobes. Like bro why🥺 it ain't working, get you some high tops
As a Giannis fan I was irate at the fact that these lower seed teams were producing MVPs
My standard for the MVP has always been how much do you affect winning! I wouldn’t have been mad if Joel won MVP last year but bruh DENVER WAS THE 6 SEED!
The Kings will make it the the Play-In Tournament, Tyrese Haliburton will have a breakout szn and win the Most Improved Player of the year, 1st time All Stars: Anthony Edwards, SGA, De'Aaron Fox, Scottie Barnes, Deandre Ayton & Jamal Murray.
Jose Alvarado will make it to the All NBA Defensive Team, The MVP Race: (Luka, Steph, Giannis, Ja Morant & JT), LeBron will break Kareem's Scoring Record and the Clippers will be the dark horse team to win the chip🏆This SZN is gonna be 🔥
Hate to make it a Zion Ja thing but a healthy grizzlies team is more dangerous then a healthy pelicans to me, especially since they already proved how dangerous they are and only had an underwhelming exit cause of injuries
All those sound pretty possible, this is a great video. Also who thinks the hawks will go far this season?
Honestly really exited to see what Murray and trae can do together
@@Durag_sensei Yeah bro they beat the bucks. Too bad it’s preseason lol, still think they’ll pop off
Bro i remember watching this video for last season
The suns is gonna make a comeback only for them to be frauds again, they may still be great during the reg, but they’ll definitely beat a team they ain’t supposed to but then lose to a team they were favored against.
Jokic wins 3 straight mvps, last player to do it was bird, no just compare him and Jokic…you see it right. If Jokic has monster numbers and are the first seed by far, he gonna win it
Tell ‘em swish lakers 2023 revenge season😤😤😤😤😤😤
