Predicting The Entire 2024 NBA Season! 

My prediction is that no team will win the finals lebron will get there and say “no, not like this” and walk away and the NBA will end on a cliffhanger

my prediction is that there WILL be a league MVP

Disagree. Ok, time to watch the video now.

The rockets picked up dillon brooks for his dance moves. With the way he moves those hips, theres no way Udoka will get distracted by a staff member. He'll be blowin that brooksie back out

Gonna be a wild season; apparently every team is at least making the play in.

I predict another Finals for Jokic. Maybe not a ring but a Finals appearance at least

Great vid Rusty, banger as always

Damn i aint seen your vids in a min i forgot i was subscribed lol

In my opinion, the Steven Adams loss kind of sinks Memphis's season. I'm not saying they're going to be awful or something, but they weren't the same last year after he was injured. Maybe they'll trade for a big and manage to steady the ship that way. But I don't see a clear replacement out there. Robert Williams could help, but he doesn't play anything like Adams does. They're also still without Brandon Clarke. If we see him at all this year, it's going to be at least halfway into the season. When you combine that with the Ja injury, I'm just not very high on them despite how much respect I have for their coaching staff and front office.

big fan but i have a tip. you could have done each conference in separate videos. helps to keep the video shorter and gives you 2 vids for the price of 1

Lots of great predictions in this vid. Maybe do a video reacting to it

can’t wait for Payton Pritchard to become one of the best PG’s in the NBA

Lookin clean rusty 👍🏾

I appreciate the Dallas love this video thank you

You got more right than anyone I've ever witnessed.

Been waiting on this since the offeseason started

this will definitely be one of the seasons of all time, i predict someone will score the ball!!!

goated caption

appreciate the nostradamus reference lol

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDY!!! theres my shout out. 😁

Giannis and Jokic’s eyes in the thumbnail look hyper focused.

Rusty: this team is going to be better than last years: this team is going to be better than last years: this team is going to be better than last years:, Its gonna be SOME LONG ASS PLAYOFFS

You didn't have a lot of nice things to say about my Pistons last year, or even this off-season. But I hope this season you come around to seeing how special this restoration to greatness truly is.

I predict the jazz move Collin sexton and possibly THT for more picks and to give Keyonte more minutes

not the wolves one being like 20 seconds

I don’t think brooklyns as bad as you think. They made some great moves over the summer. Simmons seems primed to get back to form, Claxton is super underrated as a center, and Mikal is a beast and a full season of him as the #1 option should be a pretty fun team to watch. I expect them to be around 6th seed at best.

my dark horse mvp is danilo galinari

every year for me the frontrunners for the ecf are the bucks and the celtics and then we have the heat as the dark horse

Peyton Watson also gonna be another big piece for the nuggets bench

Honest hawks fan, Trae and JJ are gonna each have dark horse MVP and MIP cases respectively. I’m deep in the Jalen MIP sauce

Hilarious thumbnail

I agree with your take regarding the Mavs. I think they'll have a bounce back season.

Great video Rusty but I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning for Bol Bol making All NBA this year.

Brooklyn will be a pretty good offense as long as Ben stays aggressive . Idk what your talking about rusty. They have the pieces to be on the high side of middle of the pack specifically because of their defense . Offense may even be good sue to been a passing ability and the fact that the team is full of people who have no issues playing a role, chemistry will be craazy good.

Regarding the Grizzlies: i think you either did not consider or entirely undervalued how impactful Steven Adams is to that defense, and losing him for the year will be much more detrimental than you might be considering. Regarding the Pels: i dont think anyone denies how good the Pels are when Zion plays, but we also dont like to dabble in fantasies like Zion playing for too long, lest we lose a grip on the reality that he would prefer to sit if he got a paper cut 😂

I predict that Ja "There ain't no such thing as half-way crooks" Morant will finally keep that gun back in his strap.

Yeah I agree

Bold prediction- OKC is going to cash in some draft capital for an all star veteran player of some sort. Someone to lead the young guys in the playoffs

Please rate these players peaks 1-4. Russell Westbrook, Steve Nash, CP3, and D. Rose. p.s. I love the predictions videos, some of these are bound to be great and some horribly wrong lol

in this sassy era, anything is possible

Max just had a terrific debut with the Cavs. He may end up being MIP.

My bold prediction is that this is the last NBA season.

People are going to say dame is the best PG in the world after this season

My prediction is that the team that is remaining after the last series played will be the nba champion

Dillion gonna be in the league for a while buddy

Ausar Thompson should have been mentioned here...He s quite something..

Still waiting for that top 75

My standings predictions: west- Den, phx, sac, gs, lal, min, lac, nop, mem, okc, dal, uta, por, hou, sas East- Bos, mil, cle, nyk, phi, mia, chi, atl, tor, brk, ind, orl, det, wsh, cha

Can't believe you left out Peyton Watson for the Nuggets

Marcus Smart is going to turn into his true form, a Grizzly, and will take Memphis to the finals where Ja will shoot Dame and Giannis to claim ring #1

Jordan poole is gonna have the same star turn as gilbert arenas. Luka will finally win mvp. And its gonna be clippers vs bucks in the finals. With us finally getting clippers vs lakers in the playoffs

Don't know about Ivey being traded. Bojan has a better chance of being traded with his value at its peak. Ivey would only be traded if the player we're receiving is just too good to pass up on.

If OKC misses the playoffs for the 4th straight year can we please take SGA off his pedestal?

Prayers up that the Rusty curse doesn’t affect your team!

This IS the 23-24 NBA season

The last person to have as good a connection with Halliburton as Tippon was dick Cheney

Milwaukee vs Miami ECF Denver vs OKC WCF

Can't wait for Marjon Beauchamp to be the next MVP

SOMEBODY is gonna win the championship

Hearing the Pacers get some legit recognition makes me jump for not💙💛

INDY GAHNTA PLAYOFFFFFFFSSSS

I think the nuggets will be out in the 2nd round but they are ofc title contenders

Rusty hating on the Suns what else is new lol

Dillon Brooks hate Dillon Brooks hate is crazy

What’s your fav Pink Floyd album?

There is a problem on the timeline. You didn't include the wizards in the right way so it doesn't show up on the video

My prediction is Zion will play 60+ games and the Pelicans still won't be very good. I say this even though I'm a Pelicans fan. They're already decimated by injuries and the season hasn't even started. Trey Murphy is an absolutely critical piece for their 3pt volume. They're going to lose a bunch of games this year simply because they hit 6-7 threes and the other team hits 15+. Additionally, Nance is probably going to be out a while. He's their closing center. And Alvarado and Herb Jones are both dealing with injuries too. I think Zion is going to have the best year of his career, and it's not going to matter because the Pelicans are cursed.

As a Houston fan, between KPJ's, situation we'll call it, and Dillon Brooks being terrible, I think Amen will be getting plenty of minutes, especially if Van Fleet is still sub 40% from the field, I think Whitmore is gonna be the one who gets screwed on minutes.

Don't sleep on those Houston Rockets! 35 wins minimum and will sniff a play-in spot even if they don't make it!

I can see the suns winning 60+ games and getting bounced in the 2nd round

The Payton Prichard take is absolutely insane, 0 defense and is relegated to camping in the corner in the playoffs bc his handle and playmaking isn’t good enough to justify having the ball in his hands. Grant Williams is so much better than Payton, they’ll regret choosing Payton over grant for years

The comments on this video are beautiful

my prediction: champs: hornets finals mvp: terry rozier mvp: wemby dpoy: wemby roty: wemby 6man: lebron james

Og and siakam for ivey and wiseman +whoever in order for salaries to match

44k 2d 239k subs

25 PPG for tyrese Maxey is ridiculous 😭

Predict the wizards will win only 10 games

Did you just say you expect PP to show he’s one of the best PGs in the NBA? Ima give you the benefit of the doubt and assume maybe you meant one of the best backups…? Or one of the best value PGs bc of his contract? It’s hard for me to even think he’s going to be one of the best backups. I mean they have Jrue and White, I don’t expect him to play like 25MPG or something lol. If he can be a + in the regular season for like 15-18MPG that’d be a huge jump for him, and if he can be a + AT ALL in the playoffs, even for like 10MPG (non garbage time) that’s a massive leap. PG is such a deep position in the NBA. It depends on who you define as a PG, who’s a backup, etc…but just to name some good ones or young guys who could be real good backups: Nembhard, Brogdon, Tyus, (could backup Poole, could play some together, could get traded) Alvarado, Jevon, IQ, Sexton ig, Cole, McConnell, Shake, Isaiah Joe is sort of a backup pg, Melton, Hard. That’s e1 off the top of my head, not saying they’re all better…but I’d be shocked if he was better than the majority of this list. We’ll see, and again you prolly misspoke?

the pronunciation would be sth like "Haimeh Hack'es" or "Haimeh Hacketh" if you speak with an European Spanish accent

What did Dillon Brooks do this man ? 😂 Also Reaves got exposed in the fiba world cup by unknown Lituanian players he's not HIM

Jonathan kuminga will win MIP

My man is a serial Suns hater. Suns: Great off season, solve locker room issues by trading Ayton, show in preseason that their offense is more movement based than expected. Rusty: I'm gonna ignore all of that, 2nd round exit. Pelicans: We did absolutely nothing over the offseason, our team barely made the play in and Zion never had a 50 game season. Rusty: I'm gonna ignore all of that, I believe! Lmao

Saying Austin reeves is good while saying Dillon is bad is poor analysis. Dillon is a much better player, Austin has a better team. Organizationally and team wise the leadership for Austin was stacked in his favor and vastly underperforms compared to Dillion. Austin’s best numbers are Dillon’s bad nights.

Knicks vs Kings Finals

Anfernee Simmons is gonna avg 27 and jordan poole is gonna avg 22-ish...dis guy is high....

Wtf is up with thumbnail

My predictions are that someone will get injured, and someone will get to the finals and win it. Plus LeBron will probably be gassed during the later games in the season. Since he’s old…

Zion is gonna gain at the bare minimum 55 pounds

Idk why u so hard on the bulls, what other team can lose their offensive orchestrator n still be good!? Losing a good point guard n best defender there ain’t no being good after that.

My Prediction- The Miami Heat do the "Impossible", & win the 2024 NBA Championship

Whaddabout da Knicks???

Pacers 6th seed, book it

I think you need to do more research if you think that beal is a better playmaker than booker.

Clippers look like the sleeper pick

embiid second round exit

JOKICS IS LEBRONS DADDYYY

Don't forget about the live pod: www.youtube.com/@alsorustybuckets/streams

My boldest prediction is that Jokic will record at least 1 point this year

Nah he really said Austin Reeves will average over 20ppg and that Kristaps will be an all star player…

I feel like I’m the only one w who thinks Payton Pritchard isn’t that good.
