Welcome back to another episode of Small Ball with Kenny Beecham.

0:08.5

We are here to rank the vibes across the NBA.

0:11.7

But before we do that, can we just talk a little bit of them bears?

0:15.4

I know it's a few days removed from the Bears winning on a 55, I don't even know how many are,

0:22.1

touchdown play between 18 and 2, but I'm still on Cloud 9, man.

0:26.6

This is something I've said before as a Chicago sports fan.

0:31.1

We haven't had many good runs.

0:32.7

We haven't had many good seasons as of recently.

0:35.0

And right now, whether you believe in them or not, you have to tip your hat. This team is a fun and finding ways to win football games. And boy, Caleb Williams,

0:43.5

Caleb Williams, Caleb Williams. I don't give a damn about completion of percentage. I don't

0:47.4

give a damn about EPA per dropback. I know that guy can win football games. And he has. So,

0:52.9

he's doing good.

0:59.4

The White Sox just signed the top Japanese player to the team.

1:01.8

I didn't even know the White Sox were buyers this offseason.

1:03.4

We were just trans for two years in a row. So I'm on tip of my expectations because every time I get really excited about something Chicago sports related, it blows up.

1:10.3

But I will say, we're looking good,

1:12.4

man. We're looking good. And I said every time the Bears win, I feel like I put together a banger

1:16.5

of an episode for y'all. And today, we are ranking vibes. Last year we did this episode,

1:22.1

and I promise you on the YouTube side of things, all of the comments were about the way I was saying

1:26.8

we were vibrators. I had to slow that down. We are rating vibes, vibraters. But if you say it fast enough, and like, can you tripping? No, I'm not. It was an accident. Today, we're ranking vibes across the NBA. And this is how I think about the vibes. You know, sometimes you can see a team see a team be down on themselves. You can see the fan base, which a lot of this will be fan-based centric. I won't lie to you. But you know, you know the vibes. Today we got the five worst vibes and the five best vibes. And in my research, which is me watching basketball at the end of the day, because there's no statistic that's going to tell you about the vibe. I came to the realization that a lot of teams have good vibes, but not a lot of teams have great vibes. Even the teams that have been really good at the season, there's maybe something and their fan base is like, ah, the Minnesota Timbles just beat the OKC Thunder a few days ago and you would say their vibes is an all-time high, but the reality is they still kind of need a point guard.

2:17.6

And I think that a lot of Minnesota Timbles fans, even though they're feeling really good after a very quality win, they still recognize that once we get to a seven-game series versus some of the other juggernauts across basketball, we still need a floor setter. So the vibes are high, but maybe not top five high. They're still really good, though. So when I get to it, this is not any particular order.

2:36.2

When I say their top five, just take it as top five, not that this is one and this is two or this is three. I'm going to start off with the team that we kind of talked about a good amount over the last couple episodes because the San Antonio Spurs continue to do their thing. Actually, I may say that they, again, I'm not ranking, but if I were ranking, this probably would be number one.
