- The Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers & San Antonio Spurs have all surprised the NBA in this very young season. Many expected these teams to tank for the prized prospect Victor Wembanyama, but it appears that they're aiming to make some noise in the Western Conference. In this video, we examine whether or not this is sustainable for these team & the underlying reason for why each team is playing so well up until now

Spurs returning to the beautiful game of 2014.
Team basketball
This dudes take on spurs was ass. “Imagine if Keldon was in a bigger market”… biiiiiitch please
It's all hands on deck, man. Its just the market will never attract free agents, so it must be built using the draft alone. Fingers crossed for lottery picks. I love our guys but regular season wins shouldn't be everything right now
My respect for Utah has increased so much, hope they don't start tanking at the end of the season
Watch Danny Ainge trade half the roster for picks
@@rohangupte3545 They have many picks already from trading their starters minus Conley.
never fix something that's not broken..
Utah really flexed on everybody by saying: We can win even with a bunch of "nobodies"!!!
It’s about to be a busy season. All these young teams smell a chance and see the old stars FALLING off. It’s time to EAT
Fr.
What old stars falling off?

Unlike jazz and blazers, Spurs have zero all star players. The biggest contract on the team is McDermott at 13 million. Lilliards contract is bigger than the entire Spurs team combined.
That's how basketball is supposed to be!
No Name, No Fame, All Game.
Shoutout to the Spurs and Jazz for real
So leave out the blazers! We’re used to it. We’ll be there at the end trust that.
@@seahawkblazing9253 I don’t think anyone expected Damian Lillard to tank. He’s a different breed.
But I do think people genuinely thought the Spurs and Jazz would tank.
Yes, we've seen what's happening in Utah, we've seen what's happening in San Antonio. These teams found out Wembanyama missed half of last season due to psoas injury. He may have a short-lived career in NBA. So yes, these teams are gunning for Playoffs instead.
Yeah forget the rest of the talent in the draft class 💀💀💀💀
One player draft uh huh 💀
If Portland wins the finals that will be amazing
Spurs leading the league in assists
Dammit I forgot to mention this. They're just playing Pop's system the right way
Love the intro to this vid, great job
Glad you like it. One of my favorite intros
Nice video, you can easily revisit this point once again when we get to 30 games played and if still some of these 3 teams are in the top with major wins than losses. I truly start to believe Jazz will finish this season with very high win column. One thing many don't understand is that Jazz main players are already NBA experienced players, they know the brutality of 82 games. You could call Jazz team experienced team, when Spurs & Blazers running a lot from just young players energy and that has always fallen off when the season goes on.
What? 4/5ths of the Blazers starting lineup is over the age of 27. Gary Payton and Justise Winslow on their bench are both vets. Sure, they've got young guys, but they definitely are a veteran led team.
@@ARR0WMANC3R I can only do a facepalm (🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️) reading thamor comment on blazers being lead by young players whose energy is gonna fall off later in the season..
@@ARR0WMANC3R My bad on Portland, but Spurs is running on young blood.
@@ARR0WMANC3R You spitting my guy 👀
Jazz will make the playoffs and lose in the first round
Dont even have to watch it to say great vid man!
I appreciate that! You're a legend
Im Here for the Spurs #GoSpursGo
Love ur vids twin and just subbed
I LOVE ME MY SPURS!!
Great video man!
Appreciate it! That intro was so fun to make
Looking at the Wembanyama talk at the start of the video I gotta say, it's wild for me that games from my national league are available on the NBA App... and that the App is not available in France lol
I’ve read some stuff that looks like there could be some legit injury concerns with him.
@@serrincroft7771 Of course there is, the man is 7"5' and already got injured in the past
@@lucaslonchampt613 He will have some major injury at some point, NBA players won't just watch 7"5 made from sticks do anything they will brutally play him physically and there is nothing he can do until like 4 years of well planned body building. The idiot team that gets him and thinks that well just put him on food supplement and to the gym will help...no, that will destroy his athleticism and just overall all his skills that he is showing now. Building Victor will be long long many years until he is fully the potential they think he can be and that is only if he doesn't explode his knee, ankles, whatever major injury is constantly problem for NBA players.
@@thamor4746 His height and frame is why I'm wary for his future as a pro
Happy to see it. And happy to see other people happy to see it too.
"honeymoon phase"? They are still early from that. Call it "courtship phase". They'll just get better once they become more familiar with each other.
simons is our starting shooting guard
I thought last season was crazy when all the stars getting hurt and it was almost all bench play. But, this season is nuts good teams struggling with drama, and on court play, andvall the while the supposed weaker teams on fire. This is why basketball is fun lol 😆 love the video.
Thank you! I really appreciate the positive feedback. And I'm glad you liked the video. Cheers!
I’m a blazers fan and I’m so happy how dope they are playing but I also think the cavs deserve a mention in the title. They are balling, spida proving people wrong.
that vassell clip def my fav clip of the last couple years spurs my fav team keldon johnson for mvp
What song was that in the beginning?
A track from Bleach called A05a
@@tooforwon241 Thanks Bro
I see wembanyama as porzingas 2.0. Maybe even AD like. But don't sleep on scoot! As much as I don't wanna see my spurs tank, scoot Henderson would be my pick even with Victor on the board. Scoot, Devin, Kelton, Sochan, and Jakob?! Tre, Malaki, JRich, Dougie, and Roby off the bench?! I would sit on all that money and thank These vets with a chip!
Pop looks and sound like the jigsaw from SAW movie series
This aged like milk 😂
Honestly, why should they tank? They are loaded with picks from other teams. If anything, they should be trying to win as many games as possible so that they can shove those teams they got picks from further down the standings and therefore higher in the draft.
Spurs only have their pick and a Top 16 protected from the Hornets for 2023
Jazz only have their pick and the least favorable pick from Rockets/Knicks/Sixers, whilst all the teams are shaky this year it is most likely best case scenario they will get a 8th seed pick so like 15 or 16 and the T-wolves pick but lets be real they making the playoffs at least unless gobert dies or something
and does the blazers even have a pick?
@@Reeso wolves pick could be lotto and is unprotected. Too early to say if wolves will stay healthy and figure out how to play as a team. They have talent for sure so maybe it’s 18th or higher. Could be a top ten.
Your right about the nets pick. About 8th which is lotto too but always behind the other two losing teams so essentially protected from ever being one or two. Still way high and all for trading Royce .
Once again, wolves pick is unknown and jazz pick will not be lotto because they want to win a title. Too much winning ….how sad
Ye but as OP said "why should they tank" the picks the teams get in 2023 won't get them Wembemyamba which is why teams trade their whole core. Perhaps if they want to win a chip it's worth it to win but they won't get scoota or Wemba by "shoving those teams as far down as possible"
Personally I don't understand the hype over Wembanyama. The dude is a freak no denying that, but what happens if he injures one of his legs? He's only gonna get longer and an ACL going when you're that young will *seriously* affect your development as a player. Idk it seems like a gamble just IMO
you can say that about any prospect? you didn’t even mention any (relevant) potential height-related issues, just spewing nonsense for no reason. how could you not be hyped about arguably the greatest draft prospect ever?
0:21 yeeessh that was a bad travel!
Uhhh..... we are aware it's 10 games through an 82 game season right? These teams are bottom 4 in their conference come end of the season no doubt.
The thumbnail has already won MVP
Tre Jones is a locked character lol
Glad I bought low on Lauri RCs last summer
Been following you for a while. Love your videos you a natural CZcamsr also they doing Damian Dirty lol but they shows idk keep him and still try to get the Frenchfreak
Thank you for the support! Glad to see you've watched my stuff for a while now
portland is doing what there built for..
Anyone who saw them sign GPII and trade a 1st for Jerami Grant, then thought they were planning to tank is a moron.
Team is playing well but all you needed was half a brain to see they'd be in the mix for a 4th - 9th spot. The west is wide open. Spurs are the biggest surprise here.
@@geoffgroner3661 bingo brother lol especially with dame on the team.
Lillard is almost getting paid more than the entire Spurs squad 😂
Go Spurs Go!
We only a few games in things will balance out in 20 games
I’m so against tanking. It’s never been LESS worth it to tank, even with Victor W. The best chance you have as the worst team in the league is 14% to get Victor. 14%. Is that worth it to give your franchise a culture of LOSING? Think about the amount of talent the Sacramento Kings have wasted by having a losing culture.
“Championship or tank” is idiotic. Think about it. How many teams can realistically say they have a shot at the title this year? Six? So we should have 24 teams trying to out-lose each other? Lol. If you like basketball, you want EVERY time to try to win every game. Period.
Beautiful thumbnail
praying for my pistons! we got duren but come on! everyone is winning lol
I don't blame the NBA analyst on the 2023 opening though, if someone predicted this we can confirm they come from the future and cheated the prediction. Cavaliers 5-1? I know Donovan is good, but this good? Many other teams played out of my expectation as well (Lakers 1-5 isn't).
didnt josh primo catch a SA case?
Yeeep. Fumbled the bag over a girl who didnt want him. Feelsbadman.
@@sagen06 and yet the nfl let serial offender deshaun watson slide... smh
Tanking doesn't lead to championships. Never has. That's why these teams are not tanking. Their owners want to win. Owners that tank don't care about winning as long as the team is profitable against the bottom line.
You know tanking has gotten so bad where you go into any given season and project certain teams to just be gunning to go and lose all the games. Like sheesh it's the NBA. You have to think these young guys on those "tank" teams have a point to prove and they want to win games lol. Tanking should never be something you immediately set out to do. I lose respect for those kinds of teams. The sixers did it and I've held a disdain for that organization ever since. And look at them now its failed miserably. All teams to begin the year should be aiming to win every game. Tanking should strictly be a thing you pivot towards mid season when it becomes obvious or more clear where your team may end up. Even then I still dislike the idea of purposely losing games for the mere chance that a certain prospect is gonna become this hero for your team.
It's just a start, but a nice, surprising start. We will see how season plays out.
But I am really enjoying this plot twist. I only wish Clippers were better
Same. Kawhi not playing has really bummed me out. I honestly welcome our new overlords in Salt Lake City regardless
Theres 3 players I really want to see get their ring, Dame Dolla
, Chris Paul and the MVP
nice! Go Blazers!
What happened to the Warriors. Weren t they supposed to win it all ?
Have I finished watching the last video?
No egos.. Sexton.. yeah yeah sure sure
We’ll see how long this lasts. To early to really be able to make that claim.
Wenbanyama is just a hype
There is hype but it is justified as he can play and shoot and is very young. Him and scoot have proven there abilities just recently. The issue will be can they stay healthy. Scoot is built better and tall guys can get injured and never recover. They will both be drafted one two for sure. We will not know which teams and ranking doesn’t mean much after the lotto changed the rules. Some teams will get lucky for sure.
SIAKIAM SUPREMACY
And of course they're all in the west, same as my mavs :(
Bro look at these goofy ass dudes on tv talking about teams tanking for victor wembanyama 😂🤣
Ayy the Bleach music
You know it! Bleach has so many classics
Spurs are playing just the same as the 2014 spurs team…
GO SPURS GO
If you guys beat my Raptors short-handed, I'll give you my ultimate respect. That'll be a fun game I hope
@@tooforwon241 game just started ..let’s see how it goes !
@@jonathanwstx Game looks to be over in the 3rd. That first half sure was competitive up until the end. You guys did pretty good short-handed
@@tooforwon241 couldn’t contain spicy P. Solid win for the raps 🤝
i mean it’s super early into the season so i wouldn’t judge these teams yet because they could fall off a cliff at any point.
Bingo.
Nah. The Jazz remind me of the Wizardsbto start last year.
Collection of talented misfits with something to prove. But not a great team.
Those super teams are playing like 🗑. No chemistry. The other small market teams are building a foundation, and it’s starting to show
Lets go spurs
Jazz is better now because of jc
I mean, its not even 10 games into the season, let's see how this video will age by the end of a season. :D
p.s. I vaguely remember which season it was, but a couple of years ago orlando started 8-2 and "expectations" were high. they ended with around 35 wins in the end. So, don't overreact is my advice :P
35 wins could get a team in the play in. Just pointing out that when you start got it often makes it hard to not make the playoffs.
The spurs are doing wonders sadly nobody cares about them that's why u never hear about them even tho they are at the top
No one cares the spurs even they got 67W in 15-16 season.
Shout out to the jazz blazers and spurs but man the west is a joke now
Talk to me in 3 months.
Man watching basketball still cool but damn the nba so wierd and kinda sodt and lame now. Slightly Integrity ain't the same
As opposed to what? The NFL? The MLB? All major sports are purely business now. I’d argue that the NBA has held up better than any other major league. NFL is a dumpster fire of scandal and head trauma, MLB is a snooze-fest where the cheaters always win, and the NHL just isn’t even getting the time of day.
Jazz and Fans will realize by December they should have tank. Now it's too late.
Being on bottom 4 they have 15-20%(forgot the actual %) getting #1 pick. Even if team fail to get #1 pick they still have 20% chance to get #2 pick. Both wembeyama and scoot are projected to be franchise player with wembeyama a generational talent.
You have 30-40% chances to get top 2 picks which is crazy.
The problem with Jazz in HISTORY they don't have exp or embrace in idea of tanking that's why they don't value to tank. They always in the middle in the pack. Jazz being jazz, they prioritize more fun to watch team for lottery team.
Victor to Lakers CONFIRMED
They don’t have the 2023 pick. They’ll give it to Pelicans
OOOOOOOOF
Woj is🤥🤡
THis spell is very powerful. The Narrative on Victor web8gyomama- I haven't heard it since Zion since Anthony Davis since blah blah de blah. The people who speak about LeBron James for a living are full of fear now that they know that he has nothing left, and so they're desperately trying to find the next thing to talk about
