They gotta promote rivalries through the IST. Have the groups just be the conferences. They don’t do much else in the NBA and teams in them usually have some existing beef already so just promote it.
@@sammygarcia5512 some of u are gassing up HCA to be this crazy mythical thing. It does not matter that much for superstars lmao. I know Jokic is a fan favorite and prolly best in the league but goddamn, no need to make all those excuses for him
bro my Celtics play OKC, MIN, DEN, HOU all in 6 days right as KP is supposed to be back. Plus Warriors @ Celtics November 6th boutta be the Tatum revenge game 💯😤
@@thefinalfrontier590 last time he matched up vs White and Holiday he didn’t even get double digits . Though, he was partially injured and on a back to back. He should be fine though
It’s crazy by just how much of a ridiculous margin separates Adam silver and the rest of the commissioners so much of his changes have worked and are popular unlike mandfreds unpopular changes that work or goddells unpopular changes that don’t work or what ever the hell betman is up to
Knicks vs nets isn’t even a rivalry, everyone knows the knicks own the nets no matter what. It was a rivalry when the nets were in jersey but now knick fans fill up the nets stadium that it’s basically not a rivalry
or Thunder Mavs' series last year against Thunder was their most even series, while the Wolves series was technically a sweep if only Lively didn't get injured to play game 3 plus Luka vs SGA
Wait haven’t they had a rival week also Knicks pacers is way better than Knicks nets that isn’t even a competion there is beef with pacers and also it should be suns Mavs
Lol grind is easier yet load management gonna be at an all time high. Btw nba lost Christmas Day nfl took over since Adam silver wanna out wack games on there
@@andrea75496 if LeBron is out yall might win. Celtics will always underestimate competition with Tatum on the team but ya know. If Smart was still here we woulda lost game 3 and 4 vs Indy. Jrue single handedly won us those games.
@@patsfan4929 it’s definitely not entirely on JT, but we have notoriously dropped chances during the JT-JB era, when IT would close it out in the mid to late 2010s, and Pierce could close and be a killa (when doc was actually good) in those scrappy games in the mid 2000s.

@@marcnakashian523 smart
Fr, can they please just make the group stages the conference divisions? It’ll at least make division rivalries more of a thing
Rivalry week has been a thing for years
I guess you’re right, this is technically the 3rd year lol. NBA needs to do a better job of marketing it
@@AndrewFenichelOr you need to actually start watching games.

WOOOOOOOOOH nba cup west group c is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
adam silver knows damn well embiid isnt showing up to denver for that matchup LOL
lmaooo I swear if bro skips Jokic again I’ll lose all respect
He didn’t go to Denver but he did annihilate him last time they played
@@ajonestarI mean when you only play in your home court u should expect to win

Derrick White
didnt the Celtics already blowout the Warriors last year in an embarrassing way
just watch. curry finna go off that game. he might even fuck around and drop 60+ just cuz
@@virkon6494 did you just forget about how Tatum felt after the Olympics?

As a Warriors fan and Bay Area native, Sacramento is way too far to be considered in the Bay Area. A Battle for NorCal is much more fitting.
Thats what im saying Sac is closer to Nevada than it is to the Bay
And they're rivals for their first round series in 2023 more than anything, where draymond stomped on sabonis and steph dropped 50 in game 7
It’s crazy by just how much of a ridiculous margin separates Adam silver and the rest of the commissioners so much of his changes have worked and are popular unlike mandfreds unpopular changes that work or goddells unpopular changes that don’t work or what ever the hell betman is up to
You can tell he really cares about the players mental and physical health, and their families!
“Let’s hope he doesn’t demand a trade before this” 💀💀💀
I think the pacers versus bucks rivalry should be something we should focus on especially as they go against each other in the NBA Cup
As someone from sac we are not the bay bruh 😭
adam silver is genuinely a great commish
I live for warriors kings games they’re always bangers
For the NBA cup the West B and C groups are absolutely stacked wow
Can’t believe they made a rivalry week without the suns and mavericks
And they put nets Knicks smh
Tbf the Mavs and Wolves met each other in the playoffs last season
looking at the new clippers logo just looks so weird
nuggets getting the easiest schedule is so huge
Where did you find the nba strength of schedule rankings?
Different websites do different ways to calculate it but I used positiveresidual.com
@@AndrewFenichel thank you Andrew
Next we need all star weekend tweaks
Denver will be first seed till all star break after that they will take a break and wait for playoffs
Should have been Miami vs Celtics and Lakers vs Nuggets
Lakers vs warriors 😊
Lebron has to watch another teams ring saramony
Plot twist: kd requests a trade … to the spurs 😼😼
Rivals week is literally what nba Christmas COULD have been
Make divisions matter again in bball
Jokic vs Embiid can’t be a rivalry if Embiid never plays
You should do nba awards predictions if you haven’t already done it this upcoming season .
Rivals week doesn't have enough rivalry's
How much money can I make if I bet right now that Embiid is going to be "injured" on January 22nd?
Adam Silver is starting to cook as commissioner
Imagine giving one of the best teams in the league the easiest schedule, what kinda collusion is that?
Bro it's 2025 @lready!!! 🤯
forgot about ant and Luka playoff rematch
Adam silver can win even more if he starts taking some of my ideas lol
As a Miami fan, we never had a rivalry with Milaukee, it's always been Boston
As a Milwaukee fan, our biggest rivalry is also with Boston 😂
I'm surprised that it's not heat vs Boston and the lakers vs the nuggets. But of course the nba is going to forever force-fuel a lakers/celtics thing.
Christmas game should’ve had SGA
Bro roasted KD so hard 😂💀
Could u make a video on JJ McCarthy getting injured?
Yes I have something coming this weekend
🙏
Also lets mention the Timberwolves who will have 15 more games on national television
When does the suns play the spurs in KDs old high school?
the bay is not in Sacramento. We do not claim the bay. And its not a rivalry because we needed their dynast last year in the play in
Warriors Kings is battle for NorCal not the bay.
I just hope they lessen back to back for the warriors :/
Its for New York its classic
Where's pacers bucks, heat celtics, and mavs suns?
let’s go knicks
can we just stop glazing nuggets and celtics every year🙄
recent championship winners always get hella respect. Just how it works. Same thing for Bucks, Lakers, Warriors, Cavs, Raps, etc
I mean they are the two best teams in the league
Obviously SOS is lower when you are a higher seeded team
Go nugs! Wooooo!❤️
Knicks vs nets isn’t even a rivalry, everyone knows the knicks own the nets no matter what. It was a rivalry when the nets were in jersey but now knick fans fill up the nets stadium that it’s basically not a rivalry
As a bulls fan that’s all I got to say just as a bulls fan ok cya next comment as a bulls fan
Sadly embiid won’t be playing in Denver so we won’t get Embiid vs jokic
I think the suns or clippers make more sense as a mavericks rivals
or Thunder
Mavs' series last year against Thunder was their most even series, while the Wolves series was technically a sweep if only Lively didn't get injured to play game 3
plus Luka vs SGA
I’ve lost a lot of respect for Adam Silver. Chooses money over what the fans want
Battle of the bay? Sacramento is NOT the bay. Sacramento is Sacramento.
Real winner is Jamie jaquez. He gets to play in Mexico for the Mexico City gsme
I personally think the NBA cup is pointless as a fan. When the Lakers won last year no one gave a shit😂 Including Lakers fans
what are no 8 in 12 and no 18 and 30s
NBA has the lamest rivalries in North American sports
Who the hell was playing 8 games in 12 days
West C and East A are TOUGH
Course they give the nuggets the easiest schedule
Jokic vs Embiid in rivalry week is a joke because it’s in Denver
KD is dropping 70 that game
Rivalry week but no bucks vrs pacers???
Bro Sacramento is NOT the bay😂
Its like 2 hours away from anywhere that can be considered the bay
I think the timberwolves have the easiest road to the cup
Absolutely not kings literally beat the wolves basically every time they play
Wait haven’t they had a rival week also Knicks pacers is way better than Knicks nets that isn’t even a competion there is beef with pacers and also it should be suns Mavs
Andrew: "let's hope KD doesnt request a trade by then"
KD: " I'm Kevin Durant, you know who I am"
How are the Heat and bucks a rivalry
Knicks have a chance to win ist

Don't ever call kings vs warriors battle for the bay🤣
Facts nobody cares about the central valley lol
Lol grind is easier yet load management gonna be at an all time high. Btw nba lost Christmas Day nfl took over since Adam silver wanna out wack games on there
Sac ain’t the bay
once again the disrespect for OKC

@@zaquarviousgaffney367 what lol
@@AndrewFenichel well I saw your Takes On OKC and I disagree on OKC being champs Idk why You dislike OKC and Shai
Bro I don’t know what your issue is why do you hate Kobe Bryant so much, in no world are magic and Kareem better lakers than him
Knicks Nets isn't a rivalry. I would put Heat Celts
I actually Knicks and Nets are rivals because both of them are in New York city.
Not a ton of history sure but the proximity makes it a rivalry. Plus the fact that they hadn’t made a trade since the 80s before the Bridges deal
pacers bucks woulda been better
Blud with his bs predictions again 😂
as a los angeles lakers fan, gg celtics. were cooked 💀
