NBA Predictions Week: Jokić, Wemby & Celtics vs. Nuggets headline Brou’s Ballot | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Welcome back to predictions week today we are getting an early preview of brw ballot Chris brard of course is an official voter of the League’s awards has been for years but this is just in pencil yes unlike our predictions which we are Stak to even though earlier today

Brew tried to move off of his Clippers pick in the morning meeting Brew take it away I do have an adjustment later on all right here these are the award and again it’s in pencil there’s a little time left so maybe this will change rookie of the year wimy he’s going to be

The face of the league and I’m going to say this I don’t even this shouldn’t even be a surprise I’m not saying this is going to happen for sure I’m not saying it’s definite ceiling go W ceiling that’s the ceiling he might not reach his ceiling but that’s the ceiling

And Flor is a Keem probably probably his floor I mean unless he gets if he’s healthy if he’s healthy yeah the dude is CRA let me see that all right so wimy is we’re Malik monk I’m sure you like this you know what I liked about Monk Is that you got a lot

Of scores Off the Bench he’s efficient there are a few more that are efficient but a lot of guys around 40% shooting 41 he’s at 45 and 37 from three and he’s a playmaker gives you five and a half assist the game very few guys are doing that he’s playing really well defensive

Player of the year I know Nick’s not going to like this go bear he’s going to tie Ben Wallace and kimbe Matumbo he is the anchor of the best defensive team in the league can best by a lot yeah and he’s individually he’s got the best defensive rating in the league uh Mark

Dagn come on top seed in the west tied with Denver they may end up at number two but right now he’s tied for number one with the team that’s oldest starters 25 years old yeah think about that I mean that’s crazy so this dude can coach

So so if I may just so this is as as you know you guys know I don’t have a vote I don’t have a ballot at this point it seems I never will that’s fine I’ve come to terms with it if I did this would be

Mine at the moment as well I agree with you don’t need one really exactly there you go but I would like to focus just for a moment on rookie of the year because Wilds before the year was big on Chad and Chad probably would finished second

So that was a good it was a good take like wimy has been better than I think even Brew expected this season and so I am not hesitant to bring up my category one instantly correct takes or my Category 2 eventually correct takes my scoot Rookie of the Year take

Might be the rare cat three Brew so we’re going to throw it on there uh hasn’t gone great for the third pick of the draft not a little you know more than a little disappointing for scoot Henderson and so I just you know I’m just being fair and being honest you

Were at least up to one year in I’m not saying scoot ceiling the go I’m not saying no I’m not saying that I’m just saying that through one year Brew appears to be winning that argument so credit to you my friend thank you I appreciate that n I’m something you know

There’s nothing coming there’s something coming from out behind there some break dancers some B all right here MVP yeah and this is where we’ll have some fun joic it’s not just yes he I think he’s the best player in the world but we know the best player doesn’t win it every

Year but I Nick he’s the best offensive player in the league I think I mean scoring he does it all there’s nothing he can’t do offensively and then defensively I mean he’s not the greatest Defender but he’s leads the league in defensive plus minus you know he he he’s

Up there in defensive rating like he’s not a weak link defensively because he’s so big so they can get those fake reviews here’s the here’s the other thing Nick he is of of the Western conference’s top eight teams and you could even include the Lakers at nine Golden State not really

They all there’s two of them that don’t have a second all don’t have multiple allars that are pretty much still playing well he’s one of them so this guy has the best record in the west running through the west and with no Allstar teammate SGA the second team but

They’re the other team that doesn’t have another Allstar and I talked about how young they are this guy’s leading the league in steals second in scoring I got to give him his props like he’s just and he’s got a bunch of young kids that he’s caring he’s young himself Tatum look we

We last week was a rough week for him totally wasn’t clutch but look I can’t say Giannis is clutch as far as like mentality might be but but he’s not a go no Tatum they got the best record in the league by a mile six games over the best

Team in the west n and a half games over Milwaukee in the East he leads him in scoring in rebounding is right there tied with Derek white essentially for assist lead I got to give him his props and they got the fifth best margin of Victory ever so then I got Giannis at

Number four he’s playing well I do think they’ve been disappointed Nick though for them he’s got a great second guy in Dame and I get it there’s an adjustment but they’ve been a little bit disappointing still got a shot and then Luca I mean Luca’s just a triple double

Machine even though they’re not playing great as a team necessarily I got to give him his love great job so if Joker wins his third MVP this is the company he would be with everybody has three or more the bottom row magic Larry uh Moses

And then Joker if he got three so how do you think this would affect his legacy Nick well yeah I mean to me the top I disagree with brew and SGA and Tatum I’d have joic and then Giannis and I’d have it closer than Brew seems to have it cuz

Giannis would you could put his head there where Y is but that that’s right that’s listen that’s the the the company of which he is trying to keep the only person on that list that right now he already is within reaching distance of in the all-time rankings as Moses and I

Think he’ll get no I think he’s likely to to surpass Moses in most people’s alltime rankings I think we don’t have to get into it Wilds gets annoyed when brw and I do ‘ 80s basketball reminiscing but I think Mo is one of the most underrated players ever I think

He’s one of the 15 greatest players ever but that’s the area yic is trying to encroach upon I don’t think that winning this MVP brew and the championship this year for joic or Giannis would move them ahead of anyone else on that list Moses though it would for championship and MVP

For either of those two guys Moe a Moses but not bird or magic or wi quickly uh title time Celtics officially the favor in Boston dispatch to the Jazz last night for their 51st win of the year they also as Brew mentioned have 11 Point margin of Victory good for fifth

Of all time with the caveat that the teams ahead of them all won the title so Brew does this sway you to thinking the Celtics are going to bring home the Larry O’Brien trophy it’s an interesting thing I mean there you can’t deny that

History but I look I I will say this I talked to Hubs about this he said it was okay he said stuff is written in the cement is wet still so I still got Boston winning the East I know I got this still predictions week I got Boston

Winning the East but instead of beating Miami they’re going to beat uh Milwaukee in the Conference Finals what so it’s Boston over Milwaukee and talk to H you got is who do you have in the finals all right so no I got Boston beating Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference so

That hasn’t changed but I got Denver beating Boston I think yic is just too good and Jamal Murray yeah who you keep saying yic gets MVP cuz he has an allar tell me how great he’s interesting cuz you know what this is and you there are

A few guys here I think Calvin Murphy maybe made one Allstar team he’s a Hall of Famer he right now is like on a Hall of Fame trajectory and he’s never made an all well then maybe should so look at this I he’s averaging numbers in the

Regular season 17 points he’s 25 in the playoffs okay yeah dude is bad is which is but you can’t be like the nuggets have nobody but fact that he’s never made an off all Famer and he’s not D all right I don’t have to change anything that I did

Yesterday or the day before because brw is also by the way going to abandon the Clippers being I mean if they get hurt I wrote the B Brew the only person that’s going to believe in the Bucks the fear of the deer that Wilds Wilds used to love the bucks he

Brought out a reindeer the guy dropped his antlers on him box over nuggets in the for the finals oo no one’s beating Denver in a seven game series we know how it’s going to go Denver in six maybe even five over the I like six I like five to

Be hon if it happens in five the Celtics will make a major change if the Celtics even if they make the finals if they get worked then they’ll make a Denver has to play the Lakers that you know post sweep it’s that long you go into Boston sweep

Though Nick close that’s not a thing guys four games by a total like 15 points thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clips from other shows on FS1
