00:01Hi, my name's Rico, and these are my receipts.
00:06Hi, my name is Rico, and I love Troy, New York.
00:11Glad somebody does.
00:12All right.
00:13This is the Pistons receipt segment.
00:16Yes, where we're going to predict what happens with the Pistons,
00:19and not just the Pistons, Michael, but some NBA questions as well,
00:24and then we look back at the end of the season,
00:26which will probably be, what, September?
00:28Before we do anything else, Paul, get yourself another sip.
00:32Get ready for this segment.
00:33Paul's first energy drink ever.
00:35This is exciting times.
00:36All right, let's do this.
00:37So, Pistons already have won in the books as they came back yesterday,
00:43miraculous fashion.
00:45Overall, Pistons wins, okay?
00:48This is actually according to Fanatics, 49 and a half.
00:54The disrespect.
00:56I'm going to go over.
00:57I still think they're going to win 50 games.
00:59I just think they're the fourth or fifth team in the East.
01:02I'll say over.
01:03I'm going to take the under.
01:05I think they go 48 and 44.
01:08I'm going to go over.
01:09I was thinking 53.
01:12So, Paul, I'm with you.
01:13I was thinking like 48.
01:16So, I'm going to go under as well.
01:20Will the Pistons win the Central?
01:24Oh, divisions?
01:26Oh, Lord.
01:27I don't even remember who's in these stupid things.
01:30Let me help you out.
01:31Yeah, Indiana, Milwaukee, Chicago.
01:35The whole division blows.
01:35Yeah, still in the Central.
01:38I mean, who cares?
01:39Hey, can you name?
01:41Oh, remember when we won the division?
01:43Said no NBA fan ever.
01:45Chicago, Cleveland, Indiana, Milwaukee, Detroit.
01:49That'll win it.
01:50There you go.
01:50Yes, I agree.
01:51I think they'll win the division.
01:52They will not.
01:55Who you got, David?
01:56Cleveland.
01:58David's going Cleveland.
01:59I'm going no as well.
02:01I'm going with Indiana.
02:02Yeah, I'm going with Indiana and the Pacers.
02:04Halliburton back.
02:09Gentlemen, put on your thinking caps.
02:12Who will be the second leading scorer for the Pistons?
02:17Oh, Duren.
02:18He's the captain of regular season empty calories.
02:21He'll get 20 at night.
02:22Duren.
02:24Yeah, I'll say Jalen Duren.
02:25I think he's going to get a bunch of putbacks, alley-oops, tip-ins.
02:29Yeah.
02:32Oh, I'm going to go Ron Hops.
02:34I know.
02:34What?
02:35Jalen Duren.
02:36You know what, David?
02:36Jalen Duren.
02:37No, no, no, no.
02:37If you go Ron Holland and he is, you win.
02:44I can't do that.
02:45No.
02:46It's done.
02:46It's over.
02:47No.
02:48Jalen Duren.
02:49Yeah, I'm going to go Duren as well, so that'll be a clean sweep.
02:57Will Weaver make a trade at the trade deadline?
03:01Ah, that's a loaded question.
03:02He could do another one of these goofballs.
03:05I mean, I'm sorry, trades in length.
03:06I'm sorry, trades in length.
03:07If Weaver makes a move for the Pistons, wow.
03:09I saw you like, oh, no, no, trades in.
03:11Will Trajan make a move at the deadline?
03:14Yeah, it'll just be a small deal.
03:16There's no qualifiers on this?
03:17Any trade?
03:18No, no, no.
03:19A bold move.
03:20Well, now he added something.
03:21No, he will not.
03:22So, a second score type.
03:24Second score or somebody to be inserted into starting lineup.
03:27Nope.
03:29We only get better in the margins, dog.
03:32I put away my, there's got to be more sign, and I'm on board with the reality now that he's
03:38not going to make the move.
03:39It's the energy drink.
03:40You've changed.
03:41It's got his brain working.
03:42You've changed, buddy.
03:44Come on, now.
03:44This is a new Paul.
03:47Yes, he will.
03:49And David's on crack.
03:51So, David's now wearing the sandwich board.
03:53There has to be more.
03:55Yeah, I'm saying he'll make a move, but the move will be marginal.
04:00That move will be somebody who comes off the bench.
04:03Plain and simple.
04:05Guys, the amount of games, a sore, nine, meaning stop sign, will score 20 or more points.
04:17Over, under, 13 and a half.
04:21Under.
04:23I'm praying for the improvement.
04:25I'm praying that he can unlock portions of his game.
04:28But 13 games north of 20, I'm going to go under.
04:34I'm going to say over.
04:35I'm going to say he does it 18 times.
04:37Wow.
04:38Wow, the energy drink's got Paul going into specifics.
04:40Let me write this down.
04:42He's going on the matrix.
04:43If there's 18, Paul, you win.
04:46If there's more than 18, you win.
04:48Unless David can top it.
04:50No, it's under.
04:51Are you serious?
04:55You know what, Paul?
04:56I'm with you.
04:58I'm not going to go to 18, but I think just in some meaningless games, he'll get a couple of
05:03putbacks.
05:04So you mean all of them?
05:06The regular season is garbage.
05:08He will go over at 14 games exactly.
05:16Okay, gentlemen, what seed do you think the Pistons will be in the playoffs?
05:22I would ask, do you think they're going to make the playoffs?
05:24But I think that's a genuine yes from everybody, right?
05:26Okay, so what seed will the Pistons be in the playoffs?
05:32I'm going to say five.
05:35Four or five, I'll say five.
05:37I think the East is going to be hyper-competitive.
05:39I think you'll have a lot of teams winning 50 games.
05:42They'll be very good, but I'll say five.
05:45I think because I predicted them to have 48 wins, I'll say they're the sixth seed.
05:49I'm also going with the sixth seed.
05:54Six.
05:55Yeah, I'm going to go with the fourth seed.
05:57I think that'll be it.
05:57I think the East will kind of cannibalize itself.
06:00Yeah.
06:00With the 48 or 49 wins, they will end up as the fourth seed.
06:05They may happen on the final day of the season, but they'll be in the fourth seed.
06:09All right, guys, who will be your Eastern Conference winner?
06:15Not this team.
06:17Not the Knicks.
06:18You're not going back to back.
06:20I'll chalk out.
06:22Give me Philly.
06:24I mean, this is pretty easy for you.
06:25I'm going to take the Miami Heat to win the East.
06:27And Eric Spolstra.
06:28Oh, dear.
06:29Heat culture.
06:31You're on drugs.
06:33I'm on drugs until they do it.
06:35They are not going to do this.
06:36I'm going to go Toronto Raptors.
06:42Where's that drop of his lap?
06:44That thing is diabolical.
06:52It's still an all-timer.
06:54I don't even know where you're sitting.
07:02I mean, it's just diabolical.
07:05Go ahead.
07:06You know what?
07:07I'm going to say they run it back.
07:09I'm going to go to New York.
07:11Really?
07:12Yeah.
07:13Okay.
07:14I think they run it back.
07:15Okay.
07:16Great.
07:16More of Timothee Chalamet for everybody for six months.
07:19I need more Spike Lee in that outfit.
07:21Oh, great.
07:23All right.
07:26You guys were ready to predict your NBA finals?
07:28Sure.
07:30Philly versus healthy Thunder wouldn't have lost to the Spurs.
07:35If Jalen Williams didn't die.
07:37Give me Philly Thunder.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Heat Thunder.
07:42Heat Thunder.
07:43Okay.
07:45I'm going to go with Toronto.
07:52Spurs.
07:56I think Rico passed out.
07:57No, no, no.
07:58I'm writing it down.
07:58And I'm going to go with New York.
08:01And I am going to go with a rematch.
08:04I'm going Spurs.
08:06Damn.
08:07The Thunder are done, huh?
08:08All right.
08:09Wemby, man.
08:11Speaking of which, who's going to be your MVP?
08:15Wemby.
08:18As long as he doesn't run into Mara every night.
08:22Wemby.
08:23I'm going to go with SGA.
08:27Oh, you're not going with Bam?
08:29No, I'm not.
08:29Okay.
08:30I'm just trying to test you.
08:31Go ahead, Dave.
08:33I'm going to go with the Joker.
08:35Oh.
08:36I think they're a top two seed, so he gets it.
08:41All right.
08:41David, I like what you're thinking.
08:43I'm going to go with the alien himself.
08:44I'm just going to go with Wemby because it's time.
08:48He's just, you can't stop him.
08:51I think he wins MVP and defensive player to you.
08:53I think he turns and doubled it.
08:54Wow.
08:56Yeah.
08:56I could easily see that.
08:58All right, guys.
09:00Your NBA Finals winner.
09:04Spurs.
09:08Excuse me.
09:08Thunder.
09:09I apologize.
09:09I apologize.
09:10Whoever's in the West.
09:11Thunder.
09:12I think a healthy Thunder win it.
09:14I'll take the Thunder.
09:15I will take the Thunder to beat the Heat.
09:19Disgusting, but Spurs.
09:22Wow, David.
09:23We are right there.
09:25Simpatico.
09:26I got the Spurs.
09:27Wemby gets his first title, and he'll be all over the place playing chess in the parks.
09:31So you're under the thing that they're going to get there, lose, and then come back, and
09:35they needed to do that to get over the hump next year?
09:38Yep.
09:38Okay.
09:38I do.
09:40Guys, finally, we'll wrap this up.
09:42Your rookie of the year.
09:46DeBonza.
09:47He's ready-made.
09:48He's one of the only guys drafted that is ready to play.
09:50All jokes aside about being hurt last night.
09:52He's just, you open up the box, put him on the floor for 25 minutes a night.
09:57AJ DeBonza.
10:00Yeah, I guess I'll agree with Mike.
10:01I was going to say Darius Acuff just because they're with the Kings.
10:04That's a good one.
10:05And he's going to, someone's going to need to do something for the Kings because they're
10:08so bad.
10:09Get a lot of garbage points.
10:10Exactly.
10:10My question is just, can you win the award playing for Sacramento?
10:14I don't know.
10:15I don't know.
10:17Yeah, I'm also going with AJ DeBonza.
10:21AJ DeBonza.
10:22Paul, you took my guy.
10:24I'm going with Acuff because somebody's got to be the leading scorer out there.
10:28He's right, you know.
10:29Like, they're going to score 100 a night.
10:31Someone has to do a lot of the lifting.
10:33Somebody's got to do it.
10:34So, all right.
10:35Can you win rookie of the year winning 18 games?
10:38That's the question.
10:40Yes, but you're probably going to have to average about 30 points a game.
10:44It's going to be ratty out there.
10:46So, all right.
10:47We'll look at these at the end of the season.
10:50These are your Pistons NBA receipts 97-1.
