Recording this on December 21st I think you guys may be seeing this on the 23rd so some of these standings and Records may change so for Atlanta it’s it’s weird man because they have so much talent Trey young has been on a tear as of late but this team is not winning
Games Trey young is averaging like 32 and 10 in his last 14 games but they are six and in in those 14 so they are without Jaylen Johnson they’ve had some injuries this year for sure it’s not really working out with Deonte muray know a lot of hawks fans want them to
Move on from Murray at the deadline I don’t know if that’s going to happen we have finals Contender frisky Conference Championship team we have a non-playing playoff team playing Team maybe not a play or maybe a playing but probably not and then 50 ft of crap then there’s us
If you guys get that reference shout out to you I’m going to throw the Hawks in the play in tier I do think Atlanta will finish in that 7 to 10 range I thought there was a solid chance that they could have finished like north of the seventh
Seed this year but it’s not looking like it but they should get Jaylen Johnson back hopefully soon um because Bon bogdanovich is having a good year I think DeAndre Hunter has been fine um we’ll see if they maybe move Capell at the deadine the Hawks have been a weird
Team spent a lot of time on them so we’ll go to Boston this is an easy finals Contender yes they lack the depth right now but they’re 21 and six they’re the one seed in the Eastern Conference if this team is fully healthy they don’t need all that depth because they have as
Good of a closing starting just top five as any other team with white holiday Brown Tatum and KP uh yeah they’re definitely a finals contender in my opinion the best team in the Eastern Conference and this year they’ve been the best team in the NBA all right the Brooklyn Nets um they’re
An interesting one so they’re definitely not any of the SA or B tier I’ll throw them in the playing tier but they may even drop to the D tier as we go through the other teams I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Nets going into the year they
Also don’t own their first round pick so I’m very intrigued on what they’re going to do at the deadline are they going to try to go out and maybe trade for like a pascal cakam or Zack line to try to make the playoffs this year so they don’t
Feel bad about giving up a lottery pick to Houston which dated back from the James Harden trade or do they really not care they’re going to run the course if they give up pick 13 they give up pick 13 because I don’t think that they’re bad enough to drop really to like maybe
A bottom seat in the East but yeah I don’t know if they want to make the playoffs or not because they don’t own their draft pick we’ll see if they are an active buyer at the dead mine they have plenty of tradeable contracts Chicago man they’ve been playing better
As of Fate they’ve had some nice wins over Miami Milwaukee Philadelphia they’re 12- 17 at the moment I don’t think that they’re going to be a playing tournament team though I know they’ve been playing better and they got off to such a brutal start but if they move
LaVine if they move Caruso or D rozan obviously their seller going the opposite direction they definitely have the talent to be better than Brooklyn and maybe even Atlanta like they’re B they have the same amount of wins as Atlanta they just got off to that brutal
Start I just like to watch BS Games now because of Kobe white I’m just having a blessed watching him because I loved him out of UNCC I loved him at UNC and I just love to see his linear progression over time cuz he’s been getting better
You would say each year and I’m glad that Chicago extended him last year port yeah I don’t think that they’re in the F tier um they’re not going to make the play in tournament but I wouldn’t put them in that bottom tier they’ll be probably three teams in that TI and I
Think Portland is going to be maybe fringey but probably not we’ll see I’m just really excited to watch Anthony Simons and Shaden sharp coexist for the rest of the season SC Henderson got off to a weird start but I think he’ll be fine as the season progresses I’ll talk
More about him in the next tier list video when I talk about the rookies but yeah right now they’re D tier team for me I think the Clippers are probably a frisky Conference Championship team do I think that they’re a finals contenders if I got to throw another Western
Conference team in there and I’m going to try to do two and two they may go up to the S tier so watch the end of the video for them uh they went like 0 and five after they got James Harden but they’ve been playing a lot better as of
Late kawhai looks great Harden looks great this team just needs to be fully healthy in April May and June and they could win a title but that has not been the case so that’s why I’m a little hesitant to throwing them in that s tier
But for now I feel comfortable at a tier they are 17 and 10 they’ve been one of the better teams as of late Charlotte they’re going into that D tier I don’t think that they belong in that F tier but with no l ball they’re not making
The playoffs in my opinion the play in tournament this season you keep developing Brandon Miller you keep developing Mark Williams I hope to see a little bit more from Nick Smith this year if you can trade miles burgers or Gordon Hayward I’d say do it and hey if
There’s an offer you can’t refuse for teror rard also think about that as well you just hope to get Lamela B back eventually this season and then maybe they can uh get some wins at the end of the year but hey maybe they’re going to benefit from another top five pick in
The draft and they would have one of the better Futures in the league CU Brandon Miller looks great so far Cleveland oh man I was so high on Cleveland going into this year but they’ve had so many injuries so now uh Evan Mobley and darus scarland are going to be out for a
Little bit but I think Donovan Mitchell can still carry them they may be another playing tournament team I think they’re going to finish in like that 7even to 10 range um they have Allen they have Mitchell they still are getting something out of Levert and stru and Craig Porter Jr looks like they’re
Moving on from Rubio I yeah they’ve just been disappointing though I thought like they would be in this tier or even this tier at this point in the season but they’re definitely a c tier team right now but if they get fully healthy man I think they’ll finish as a top six seed
But we’ll see see when mob and Garland comes back if I have to throw a team up there they’ll definitely go um into B tier over the Hawks and the Nets Denver finals Contender reigning NBA champions you have arguably the best player in the league on your team in Nicole yic uh
They losted them all Mur for a little bit earlier in the year but their team has been relatively healthy outside of that Reggie Jackson looks like a really nice bench piece this season Payden Watson’s taking a little bit of a step I love what I’m seeing from Julian
Strawther in his rookie season I’m a big nuggets fan how can he not be they an S tier team Houston hm Houston I think is a c tier team for sure I think there’s a good chance they could finish as a playing tournament Squad they’re currently the ninth seed right now and I
Think they are better than some of the teams around them and you know what they have a good defense they play hard Fred Van has been playing pretty solid as of late um just really for three-point shooting and facilitating and defending the guy cannot have a good field goal
Percentage to save his life it’s always feels like it’s below 40% but Jabari Smith Jr is coming on as of late everybody talks about Al shenon this season they have Dylan Brooks they have like a good team and they have a good coach I think they’ll be a playing
Tournament Squad and Rockets fans have to be thrilled about that Lakers hm I mean on paper I think I like the Clippers more and I shouldn’t keep doing this cuz I always like the Clippers more and the Lakers just end up going further than them I think they’re a frisky
Conference Championship team one of these teams will probably go into s tier by the end of this video I’m not sure who it’s going to be though all right Milwaukee they’re going to be joining Boston up there as a finals Contender last year the Milwaukee Bucks ended up
Losing in the first round to the Miami Heat but they got Daman loward in the offseason their defense has looked all over the place to start off the year they have a new head coach in Adrian Griffin but this team when the healthiest f is on the floor it’s going
To be tough to beat them the Giannis and dve du looks great offensively Giannis is still in that mvp conversation and they’re in my opinion yeah they’re probably like the second or third best team in the league I still think Boston is probably the best team on paper you
Got to give the nuggets respect for just being the reigning Champions and they still have nicoa yic but I think the Bucs are right there Miami they’ve also been a good team this season as well I do think they probably finish around like that 6 to8 range for now I’ll throw
Them in that b tier they just got to Hero back from an injury I wonder if they’re going to be active at the deadline like would they move like a Kyle Lowry for like a demard de Rosen type swap cuz I doubt they want to move
Hero and I feel like they need to add another piece if they want to win a championship because you feel like this roster isn’t as good as it was last year since they lost Vincent and streu in the summer and they made it to the finals
Last year so I feel like Miami could be active at the deadline but we say that every year Dallas I don’t know if this Dallas team can make it to a Conference Finals maybe I’m going to bump them up there but they have Luka donic so that
Automatically puts him as a B Team uh they’ve I think been very good this year uh Derrik Wy had a good rookie start Kyrie Irving’s out but he was playing great before he got hurt they’re getting good role playing um out of drik Jones Jr and Grant Williams even though Josh
Green’s like taking a step back this year uh like they got a lot of good role playing ability out of Dante exm as well I mean I think Dallas could be active at the deadline um like Miami I think they’re a team that’s probably going to finish like between that maybe three to
Six seed range um but I would like to see how kyri and Luca look a little bit more before I think okay they’re definitely going to be a Conference Finals team or maybe a finals Contender I think the Pelicans will probably I don’t I can’t guarantee them like a top
Six spot but they’ve looked a lot better as of late I think they will finish in the playing tournament as long as Zion Williamson stays healthy they got CJ McCullum back I mean this team has a ton of depth with those two with Brandon Ingram Valen chunis herb Jones Trey
Murphy’s fully healthy they’ve gotten some good production out of their rookie Jordan Hawkins and I’m excited about the Pelicans going forward H the Knicks man the Knicks are tough I don’t think they finish in the playing tournament I think they’ll finish ah they just lost Mitchell Robinson for the year but I
Feel like on paper they’re better than the Cavs cuz the Cavs had their injuries they’re better than Atlanta this year they’re better than Brooklyn I’m going to throw them in the B tier so right now for the Eastern Conference I have like four playoff locks with the Celtics the
Bucks the Heat and the Knicks and then we basically have like seven eight and nine okay so I got about like two to three more teams I can throw in that Eastern Conference race so I actually like where I’m at with that um OKC do I think they could make the Conference
Finals I’m going to throw the OKC in a non play in playoff team uh I mean I also predicted them to not even make the playoffs going into this year I thought thought they were going to need one more year but I didn’t expect chadol Gren to
Look this good right away Mark dagno has done a phenomenal job as this team said coach sh Gil Alexander is going to be in there in the MVP conversation as well and even though guys like Josh giddy have taken a step back this year they’re getting good play out of Jay dub and
Good rookie defensive play out of Kon Wallace as well so the Orlando Magic Man I do think like they got off to like obviously such a hot start I feel like they’re still going to finish behind New York and Orlando I think I feel like they could be a seventh seed in the
Eastern Conference or they would fall into kind of this tier of a non-play in playoff team I think I think I’m going to give the magic the benefit of the doubt because I just love the way their defense has been this year they have plenty of depth like wend Carter Jr got
Hurt in the first month of the year and mo Vagner and Goa bat who would have thought that have stepped up so they had plenty of depth they have obviously a ton of depth at the guard position they could be active at the deadline do I
Want to give that much love to Orlando do I think they would finish better than Cleveland honestly at this point I think they do I think Indiana would be probably that last playing tournament team I hate this defense I hate hate it it’s brutal to watch every game for them
Finishes like they score 140 their opponent score is 138 but hey they’re one of the best offensive teams in the League this season they are the best offensive team this season if you look at offensive rating and it’s led by tyres Halton if I had to rank these
Teams here I’d probably go like Cleveland fully healthy Indiana 2 Atlanta 3 Brooklyn 4 this is going to get interesting this is definitely going to get interesting all right we have our first F tier team the 50 fet of crap then there’s us shout out money ball and
Brad Pit um but yeah we’re going to have Detroit in there this is before the Utah Jazz game tonight where they’re favored by two and a half points maybe the Pistons are finally going to win a game they were 2 and 21 to start off the year
And then they ended up going on a 24 game losing streak they are close to making history but yeah this F tier team is perfect for the Detroit Pistons their season is pretty much over I wonder if they’re going to be more of a buyer at
The deadline or are they going to just trade boan bogdanovich I like Sacramento a lot and I feel like if I have Dallas in this B tier I have to throw Sacramento in so basically that is six teams that I think will be in the Western Conference oh this is going to
Get interesting okay I’m going to have to to drop a team to probably the playing tournament that may be the Lakers yeah I’m going to probably have to drop the Lakers to the C tier but we’ll get to that when I’m going to add another team up there I mean like it’s
Weird though to like call that by these uh uh these rankings just because I think there’s teams that are in the playing tournament that could make it to the Conference Finals like the Phoenix Suns I mean fully healthy oh man they’re tough because is Brad be going to be
Fully healthy I mean they have an amazing 1A and 1B in KD and Devon Booker they’re currently 14 and 13 oh man this is going to be tough okay this is going to be tough I’ll throw them in B tier for now we’re going to have to do some
Adjustments at the end of this San Antonio you have joined Detroit in the F tier you guys are by far the worst team in the Western Conference this season they have two more wins than Detroit two more so yeah they’re an F tier team it’s all about Wy going forward uh
Philadelphia I think they’re do I want to put them in frisky conference ship they haven’t done it with embiid but they’ve been great so far this season Maxi maybe the best player that embiid has ever played with and he’s played with guys like Harden and Jimmy Butler
I’m going to throw them in that a tier I think at least like if two Eastern Conference teams are going to be be in that a tier I think the Sixers are going to be in it and I’m looking at the rest of the field I think I got to give
Credit to Miami I mean what they’ve done the last couple of Seasons I feel like we doubt them and they always end up in the conference Championship so if I was going to do two Western Conference teams two Eastern Conference teams in the a tier I’m going with Philly and Miami
This may change we’ll see Toronto I mean I think they’re a French play playing team and I think we’re going to have more than four Eastern Conference teams here I think they’re going to be right there with Brooklyn and Atlanta but it’s weird to do this I you know what I don’t
Think they make it I don’t cuz like they have a worse record in Chicago right now at the moment I’m recording this and I’m not a huge fan of Toronto I think they’re going to move at least one of anobi or seak at the deadline this is really just about the Scotty Barnes
Development year him getting just acclimated under dark over jovic’s coaching system and him being that guy going forward maybe they’re going to blow it up at the deadline and move anobi and cakam I feel like miseri won’t trade both but I think for now I think
Like they’re in this tier I I mean I’m not going to say Atlanta and Brooklyn are that much better than them but I think I have a little bit more confidence in them at least making the playing tournament over Toronto Utah Yep this is an easy D tier for them it’s a
Weird season I think um maybe they had the expectations they could be in that playing tournament and they definitely still could be if they go on a run but they’ve had a lot of injuries this year it seems like and I feel like I don’t know it’s weird L Markin has been some
Trade rers I don’t think he gets moved but I also don’t think Utah makes the play in tournament Golden State I’m throwing them in the play um I don’t think I’m going to roll them out no for sure I can’t roll up curry in this team I think they’re a playing tournament
Team I don’t think they’re they’re going to be a top six seed by the end of the season unless they make some major moves at the trade deadine which could definitely happen maybe they move Draymond maybe they move clay maybe there’s a big deal on the table but as
Of now I don’t think that’s going to happen so I think that they’re going to be one of the playing tournament teams and like I don’t know do they beat like Houston or New Orleans in a playing Tournament game tomorrow maybe they beat Houston I don’t think I don’t like their
Match up against New Orleans all right we got three more teams remaining Washington the last team here in that F tier I mean they have the same amount of wins of San Antonio Jordan PA and Kyle kman they two best guys maybe they even moov Kyle kman at the deadine if there’s
Like an offer they can’t refuse so I don’t think Washington’s getting any better I think I can make a guarantee that these three teams are already out of the playoffs and we’re not even in January yet Memphis is going to be tough Memphis is really going to be tough I
Think they still become a fringe playing tournament team by the end of the year they are six and a half spots out of the play but they just got John Morant back we saw him hit a gamewinner in his return and I think that they’re going to be at least competitive enough where
They could be a playing tournament team I would almost put a guarantee that Portland Utah Charlotte Chicago and Toronto do not make the playing tournament I know Chicago and Toronto are close in a games back standpoint but I think where they’re going at the deadline in the direction they may look
To Pivot to I’m going to say they’re not going to be playing tournament team so this is where it got interesting because Minnesota I think has to be in this frisky conference chip team they’ve been arguably the best defensive team this year Anthony Edwards looks like he’s a
Great number one cat looks like he’s a great number two R go bear is going to be that deepo conversation so I think what I want to figure out is who do I like to play put in that finals Contender the Lakers were in the Conference finals last year the Clippers
Have been phenomenal as of late Timberwolves have been phenomenal all year but they haven’t really done much in the playoffs neither have like these Clippers teams but the individual players have like kawhai just mainly cuz yeah Russ and M Harden have been to the finals but that was back in what 2012 ah
Who do I want to throw into that s tier who do I want to throw into that s tier between the Clippers the Lakers I mean I could throw the Suns the Kings the Mavericks or the Thunder I think when it’s all said and done though I know the
Lakers haven’t been great this year but they were in the Conference finals last year we know they’re going to be active at the deadline and between LeBron and AD that’s as good of a one two as you still have today I would like them to
You know what you know what I I don’t want to put them in there just to put them in there so you know what I think we’re going to have three Western Conference teams in the frisky conference chip because these three teams have a lot of variant I think you
Could even throw Phoenix in there you could probably even throw Sacramento Dallas or OKC I don’t really like Golden State to go there as well I know kind of like the seedings will be off with like one extra Western Conference team in there so I’d love to hear what you guys
Would do in the comments below if you guys did enjoy this team’s tier list let me know what you think by dropping a thumbs up and I will have my rookie tier list out next that one is going to be very fun to just kind of evaluate these
Rookies so far and they’re very young NBA career so I’ll see you guys all there I love you all and I’ll catch you guys in the next one Peace

Reasonable overall but the OKC take is just bad ngl
They are absolutely up there with the other Frisky Conference Chip teams with the versatility of their coaching and roster construction
I watched moneyball, kinda disappointed I didn't get the reference also Bulls and Raptors in the same tier as Hornets and Blazers is foul
Sixers and timberwolves not being in S is crazy to me
As a Thunder fan, please keep sleeping. I love when outside people make up excuses for a team like they're "too young". Has anyone told them that? Do they think they're too young? They're 2nd in the West, you think they aren't gonna' be chippy and even hungry after a play-in last year. Keep hitting the snooze button while we start taking trophies!
Thereās no way the suns are up there š¬ even with Beal how does he fix their problems
philly at a only???
In regards to the nets does any team actually care about draft picks this year with how weak the draft is? Is any team tanking on purpose? I dont think so. The hornets always want to be better than what they are, wizards hoped poole would be better, pistons expected to be better, spurs thought wemby would help them win more. Like did any team actually go into this season thinking about drafting one of these guys? Doesn't seem like it. So i highly doubt Brooklyn is worried either. Even Portland wanted to stay competitive so yeah
t wolves should be S. They have been good all year long. Playoff success should not matter on a teams ranking.
Good video but I just donāt like how you have to have a certain amount of times in S tier, like why not just put the actual S tier teams without needing to reach or limited to a certain number.
Lakers switch with thunder and wolves go up
Still putting OKC in B tier is crazy
This isn't last year… Give the Wolves the respect they deserve.
The Thunder are good, but let's be real. They're a first or second round exit team in the playoffs. They could also very well fall off to becoming just a play in team
Even though Giddey has had a tougher season no one is accounting for how Chet has affected his play. His stats were always going to be lower when Chey came in and Giddey is playing his role really well. Hes not the ideal person but for what OKC needs I think Giddey taking a backseat for Chet to shine and thrive isn't appreciated enough.
When the 6ers wolves and okc are underrated
I cannot agree with the Heat in the B tier. Theyāve dramatically improved their regular season record over last season and are a proven playoff roster.
The Pistons deserve their own tier tbh
Miami is way better than last year
How are the wolves not S? They have the best record in the NBA (ties with Celtics). Also the Lakers are so overrated.
Camara and scoot look like they have some good potential and i hope both of them can grow into great players
13:36 I prefer to say we have DOUBLE the piston's wins š
I think you should rank the mvp early season canadite
Lakers above Minnesota is honestly just disrespectful. Lakers have 0 chance of winning the finals as long as they rely on D'lo
Pistons tier = ZZZZZZZZ tier
the gsw hate is insane
i agree where you put my wolves we might be best in west rn but we dont have the pedigree to be a finals contender yet i also believe they could be a non play in playoff team we been facing teams without one of their stars so it would be hard to judge how good we really are
not sure how sixers are in the same tier as teams theyve easily beaten, and are lower then teams they gave better records ššš
The heat legit got better compared to last year. Strus was garbage in the playoffs, herro is replicating at least double his production. Also JJJ compared to Vincent is a wash
Wow dude sleeping on the Mavs big time
Very thoughtful video, but I think you might be underrating OKC just a little bit
Sleeping on wolves man!
I think you swap the Lakers with either the Knicks, Kings, or Mavs and this list is on point. Something looks very off in LA, and that's with good health from Lebron and AD. Unless they make a big move, I don't think the Lakers will get out of the first round.
Lakers are overrated…
