Welcome to Good Take, part of the RealGM Radio network. Today, we're doing our Western Conference Over Unders. Last week, we did our Eastern Conference Over Unders. So you're gonna have all of this out there on your feed available for, you know, listen to right now, or whenever you end up doing your picks.

We also have Mo and Jared over at the Double Dribble podcast running through their division previews. I'm also bringing in guests for my division previews every Tuesday for RealGM Radio with Wes Goldberg. Then it's Mike and I here for Good Take every Thursday. Like I said, over-unders this week and last week, Eastern Conference last week, Western Conference this week. So then we'll be done with those. And then next week, we're gonna start our predictions of the top 10 offenses and top 10 defenses in the league for next season. Make sure you subscribe to RealGM Radio, you follow along on YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts, let's jump in.

All right, Wes Goldberg here with Mike Shearer. We've got our Western Conference over unders today. We did the East last week, so you guys can go back and catch that if you haven't already. Mike, I thought the West was a little bit harder than the Eastern Conference. What about you?

Mike Shearer (3:02)

I also feel that way.

And I also feel that the West is just like way, way worse than I was expecting. Because when I initially did this exercise, I went through and out of the 15 Western teams, I had 11 unders. And I'm like, all right, the math isn't adding up here. Like I need to go and just pick a couple that I don't really feel that good about and I'm flipping them to overs just to make the math work a little bit better. So I was like a little surprised because the East, it was actually sort of the opposite. I had a lot more overs initially, and then I had to talk myself down on a few of them, which is not to say that I think that the East is like overwhelmingly better than the West necessarily. I just think that like, I'm looking around at what a lot of these teams did, and I'm just sort of unimpressed at their summers.

Wes Goldberg (3:39)

So I had seven overs in the East. I ended up with nine overs in the Western Conference. So this is setting up for a lot more, I think, debate than disagreements at the very least than we had in the Eastern Conference, which we kind of agreed on, I would say, like 90% of it. Doesn't sound like it's gonna be the case today. Before we jump into our over unders, just a reminder to hit that subscribe button to support what we are doing here. All right, Mike, let's start at the top with our over unders here in the Western Conference. We're also, by the way, gonna have to make a lock for an over and one lock for an under on today's show. So people keep that in mind. But we'll start here. We're gonna go in alphabetical order, because that's how you sent me the list of over unders. So let's start with the Dallas Mavericks.
