1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Human nine to noon.

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: I know, right, Johnny Athletic a studio stop nine to

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: noon en route to Timberwolves practice. The same Johnny Athletic.

4
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: You hear a weekly Bumper to bumper with Burrero. He's

Speaker 1: We'll come in, We'll come in.

Speaker 3: What's your Twitter handle again? At j O N k

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: r A w c z U y N s K. I.

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 4: Can you repeat the part of this stuff where you

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: said all about things excellent?

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: Seeing you? Is the family all squared away for Christmas?

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 5: Uh?

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, we still got I'm a procrastinator, so I'm like

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 6: right up against the headline and start buying a few

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 6: more gifts. But we're plans are in place, so we're

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 6: going in the right direction here.

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: I need you to help me here because I purposely

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: did not research it, not knowing I was eventually going

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: to have you in in studio. But like I you know,

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: I have Finchy on the radio show weekly all right,

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, maybe after that Friday night

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: Phoenix l hading Michael Monday or a Tuesday, then the

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: tweet machine was hitting me with like you know, his

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: first interview after the game, and then I started to

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: read up on it a little bit and like day

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 2: Moore was saying some things and you were saying some

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: things about, you know, just about what it takes to

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: go to all the games. Yeah, what what was that? Like,

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: like what it's gone? Yeah, but what was it?

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 6: So it's it's just kind of a reflection of the

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 6: new media realities of the day. And you know, forever

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 6: and ever, we had at least one media traveling media

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 6: member at every game. A lot of times it was

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 6: the Start Tribune, a lot of times it's me. Sometimes

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 6: it's Day More. And really, with how expensive it's gotten

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 6: and the revenues have been falling, like it's just hard

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 6: to justify going to every single game. So that game

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 6: in particular, there was no one. None of us were

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 6: there for that one. And so it's, you know, it's

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 6: a little bit tough. There's financial realities for me. I

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 6: have a young family that I'm just not going to

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 6: be traveling every every weekend for or every life fan.

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Duel at that time, like wasn't showing the post game.

48
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 6: Yes, conference fan duels really falling off in terms of

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 6: their post game you know, abilities to deliver interviews and

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 6: things like that. So there was a little bit of

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 6: an information vacuum after a tough loss. You want people

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 6: hell to account and ye, so you know, I'm used

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 6: to being able to make calls behind the scenes and

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 6: do things and report, and I did the best I could,

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 6: But there was not the definitive press conference.

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 3: Hey why did you do this? What happened here? For

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: that game?

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 6: And there will be several more of those games going

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 6: on the rest of the season, with eighty with forty

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 6: one road games, it's just really really hard to justify doing.

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: All of that completely understand it. Thanks thanks for the

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: vulnerability there in the honest team. What happened last night

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: against Memphis?

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's just.

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 6: An offensive, you know, a knee mick shot making type

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 6: of a situation. I think that they played a Memphis

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 6: team that was really banged up, and generally speaking, this

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 6: team takes teams lightly that are that are shorthanded to

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 6: the degree that Memphis was. But also you watch that game,

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 6: and I mean they missed thirty three three pointers. You know,

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 6: Julius Randall was two for ten in the first quarter.

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 6: They just really had a hard time generating good shots

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 6: and then making the good ones that they did generate,

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 6: and it was really disappointing because those are the home

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: games that you have to win, especially with Oklahoma City

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: looming tomorrow night. But they it's been a team PA

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: all season long that has played sort of like it's

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 6: bored with the regular season, and I think there continues

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 6: to be some of that against these teams that are

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 6: either shorthanded or not very good. I would expect tomorrow

81
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 6: night against Okay See, they'll play a lot better and

82
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 6: they'll play with a lot more energy, but it's been

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 6: a little underwhelming that way.

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Anthony didn't play last night.

85
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Postgame, did you feel Julius Randall made it low key

86
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: sound like they badly need a point guard or a

87
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: defined floor general, because I did.

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that definitely this roster. One of the

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 6: shortcomings right now is floor general, quarterback however you want

90
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 6: to say it, or just even one more person who

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 6: can create off of the dribble some way, somehow. Mike

92
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 6: Conley has been he's been out lately, but he's also

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 6: old and diminished in his abilities to do that. Rob

94
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 6: Dillingham unfortunately has not shown that he is ready for

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 6: prime time with a team that wants to contend in

96
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 6: the Western Conference, and so he has not been able

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 6: to do it. Bones Island has had some moments, but

98
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 6: he is a career bench guy and so he has

99
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 6: I think some limitations as well. And so I think

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 6: it's going to be on Tim Connelly to really look

101
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 6: hard at seeing if there is another either point guard

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 6: or playmaker they can acquire at the trade deadline, provided

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 6: you don't see some sort of real explosion from Bones

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 6: or Rob Dillingham, you know, over the next month or so.

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: Is is Finchy cracking a tad? And the reason I

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: bring it up is he just melted on a ref

107
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: last night and seemed very very frustrated. You know, we

108
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 2: both know Chris very well. He's not an f bomb

109
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: kind of guy. Maybe he can be behind the scenes

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: more with you. I mean you're round him more than me.

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: I mean he just lost it last night. Holy cow.

112
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that felt to me like frustration and the way

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 6: that the game was going. But I will say Pa

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 6: that you know, knowing Chris as well as I have

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 6: for as long as I have, one of his sort

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 6: of quibbles is he is has very little patience for refereeing,

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 6: and he is very voice. He makes his voice heard

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: all game long with calls that he thinks have been

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 6: missed with the way that the officiating had, with the

120
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 6: way with the way the game that has been officiated.

121
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 6: And I don't think that that was a particularly good

122
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 6: look for him at the end of that game, because

123
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 6: certainly there were some bad calls, but this team did

124
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 6: not lose because of officiating last night, and I think

125
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 6: that that was him just airing his grievances with his

126
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 6: team through the officials. But that has been a career

127
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 6: long thing for FINCHI he really does get after the

128
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 6: officials from the opening tip to the end of it,

129
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 6: and I don't know that a lot of the officials

130
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 6: really appreciate that very.

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: Much more on the current stage of the Wolves momentarily,

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: but we mentioned it earlier, news popped I believe it

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: was sham Cheranium KG Kevin Gartnett is back in the

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: mix with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Uh one, you know you

135
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: you what do you know about it? What can you share?

136
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 2: What do you think?

137
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

138
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 6: I think that I think over the course of the

139
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 6: next day or two, there's going to be really more

140
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: specific Slaid out about exactly what this is. I think

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 6: right now what's been reported is that he is coming

142
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 6: back to the team in sort.

143
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: Of an off court role.

144
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 6: This is not a you know, basketball operations department type

145
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 6: of a thing, but he's going to be involved in

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: kind of community events, fan engagement. He's going to do

147
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: content for the team on social media and I think

148
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 6: on their website and things like that. And as part

149
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 6: of all of that, he's going to have his jersey

150
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 6: retired eventually now. And he he and Glenn Taylor did

151
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 6: not get along at all, and so that was the

152
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 6: reason that twenty one has not been hanging in the rafters.

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 6: But Mark Laurie and Alex Rodriguez really made it a

154
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 6: priority once they took over to kind of try and

155
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: build a bridge there and broker a truce. And it

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 6: has now happened, and I think that's the best thing

157
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 6: for all involved.

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: Fans are going to be over the.

159
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: Moon about this, and you know, it was a really

160
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 6: ugly dispute for a very long time between the icon

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 6: of this franchise and the Timberwolves, and to have that

162
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 6: kind of of put under the bridge now is just

163
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 6: great news.

164
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 7: Well, is it as much a truce or is it

165
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 7: a little bit just well Glenn's gone, so now we

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 7: can resume those sorts of conversations. I mean, you know,

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 7: a Rod and Laurie certainly don't have the connection to

168
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 7: KG that Glenn did, so now it's like, well Glenn's gone,

169
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 7: now we can be friends again.

170
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 6: I mean, certainly that's the big the big card to

172
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: play was that once Glenn Taylor was gone, then KG

173
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 6: was going to be able to let go of whatever

174
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 6: grudge that he was holding against the Timberwolves. But I

175
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 6: do think also it took a lot of engagement from Mark,

176
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 6: Laurie and Alex Rodriguez and their staff to just get

177
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 6: to know KG and kind of get to know the

178
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 6: people around him and and try and just build a

179
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 6: little bit of trust there as well that they were

180
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 6: going to be different, that they were going that this

181
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 6: was not kind of an extension of Glenn Taylor but

182
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 6: a new way of doing things.

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: And so it took a long time.

184
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Lauria and Rodriguez have been involved

185
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 6: since twenty twenty one, and I think it only really

186
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 6: picked up steam, and you know, this summer, after all

187
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 6: the closing of the sale, and everything, and so certainly

188
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 6: Glenn Taylor being gone big, big big.

189
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: The biggest part of it.

190
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 6: But also you got to, you know, give Lauri and

191
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 6: a Rod their props for being able to cultivate at

192
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: least some sort.

193
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: Of relationship to get it going in the right direction.

194
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: Johnny Athletic, John Krazinsky, The Athletic. Theathletic dot Com covers

195
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves and second to Non Fashion. And this

196
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: Saturday at four o'clock there is a John Krasinsky Show live.

00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,800

204
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 6: pretty much a Wolves bar. Yeah, we've been able to

205
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 6: turn it into that with a relationship with the podcast

206
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,800

00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: about that philanthropic endeavor. Now back to the Timberwolves of

238
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: now Okay see here tomorrow night lost to Memphis last night.

239
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: The kids, the bench guys.

240
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: I watched most of the game pretty good in the

241
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: first half of my opinion, not so much in the second.

242
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: I mean, how often have you have you seen that?

243
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: With Clark and Shannon Junior and Dyllanham the whole thing.

244
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been the thing.

245
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I think that Chris Finch has

246
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 6: heard some pressure to try and play. Got to play

247
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 6: the young guys more. You got to play the young

248
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 6: guys more. But it has been so uneven so far.

249
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 3: And you're right.

250
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 6: I mean the first the first shift, especially for Dillingham

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 6: and Shannon, they were doing good things offensively. The ball

252
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 6: was moving they were getting to the basket, they were scoring,

253
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 6: and then in the second half, it just so it

254
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: was a disastrous stint for those two and it was

255
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 6: one of the areas of the game that just really

256
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 6: slipped away. The Wolves led by nine when they came in,

257
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 6: and they were trailing by five by the time the

258
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: shift was over. And so the inability to rely on

259
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 6: any consistency from those guys has been real detrimental to

260
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: the overall depth of this team. I think when the

261
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 6: season started, you thought for sure Terrence Shannon Junior was

262
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 6: going to be a reliable bench scorer give you some

263
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: pop consistently, and Dillingham you figured still learning, but yeah,

264
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 6: maybe there's gonna be plenty of games where he gives

265
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 6: you twelve points in eighteen minutes and and really is

266
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 6: a plus that way, and it just has not yet materialized.

267
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 6: And you know, that just puts so much press Sean

268
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: Nazrid to score at a high level on that second unit,

269
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 6: because if they don't get bench scoring, then you're really

270
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 6: really leaning on those starters a lot. And it really

271
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 6: came back to bite them last night. They were outscored

272
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 6: forty four to twenty nine by the Grizzlies bench, and

273
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies bench has no one right now, and that's

274
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 6: just not that's not a good look.

275
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: John Krazinski Johnny Athletic Timberwolves conversation. Do do you believe

276
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: they will trade for a point guard? And if so,

277
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: who would they possibly make available?

278
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 6: So I do think that they are looking hard at

279
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 6: doing it. The question becomes like, to your point, who

280
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 6: is it? Because I don't think that the LaMelo Ball,

281
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 6: Trey Young, Jahn Morant guys, the super expensive and a

282
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: little bit of value diminished guys are options right now

283
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: for them, just where they're at with the salary cap

284
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 6: and and all of those things. But then you're looking

285
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 6: for guys like, you know, a Kobe White or a TJ.

286
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 6: McConnell or a Dennis Shrewder or somebody like that. But

287
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: they're hard to get. They're not they're not easy to

288
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 6: trade for. You'd probably have to give up like a

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 6: Dante DiVincenzo for him, and he's playing actually really well

290
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 6: right now. So there's not an obvious answer for the

291
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 6: problem right now. But I think Tim Conley is one

292
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 6: of the most aggressive general managers is out there, and

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: so I think that if things continue as they are

294
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 6: right now, they will eventually pull a trigger on some

295
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 6: move for a point guard, but it may take a

296
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 6: little while yet.

297
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and taking a little while, That's that's where

298
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 7: I was going to go with this. Earlier you just

299
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 7: kind of mentioned that the deadline and just people look

300
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 7: in time frames, deadline is still a fair amount off.

301
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 7: Just kind of the idea, where do you feel like,

302
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 7: if they're going to do something that it has to

303
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 7: be at the eleventh hour because of the difficulty negotiating

304
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 7: or you know, we just watched How the Wild just

305
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 7: under the cover of darkness pulling a Quinn Hughes, not

306
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 7: saying it would be that caliber of player, but like

307
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 7: this could happen at any time. I just feel when

308
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 7: when you see the stickiness, as you guys were talking,

309
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 7: the isolation manner in which the offense devolves into on

310
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 7: a nightly basis, this just feels that there should be some

311
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 7: urgency and rectified in that if they truly believe that

312
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 7: the point guard's part of that conversation and a solution.

313
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean yes and no though, Nordo, because like

314
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 6: there is urgency, sure, but at the same time they're

315
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 6: seventeen and ten.

316
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: They're not ten and seventeen.

317
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 6: And so one thing we have seen from Chris Finch

318
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 6: in particular, but I think Tim Connolly as well, is

319
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 6: that they typically show more patience to let things unfold

320
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 6: throughout a regular season than you know, the fan would

321
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 6: Everyone wants every fan wants Finch fired and wants a

322
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 6: point guard acquired, like right now, and that's just not

323
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 6: the way that this organization operates.

324
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: We saw last year.

325
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 6: I mean, they are miles ahead of where they were

326
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 6: in the standings last year at this time because and

327
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 6: they just stuck with it and they didn't panic, and

328
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 6: they ended up getting to playing their best basketball in

329
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 6: April and May.

330
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: And they got to the Western Conference finals.

331
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 6: And I do believe leave that there is belief within

332
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 6: the organization that they can follow a similar path and

333
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 6: that with the way that they have started, they don't

334
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 6: have to panic right now because they're winning enough to

335
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 6: try and give these other guys more time to figure

336
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: it out. But there's no question that if we get

337
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 6: to you know, the turn of the year and into

338
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 6: the new year and things are still sort of just

339
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 6: kind of treading water, that yeah, I do think that's

340
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 6: when you really start to see them be aggressive and

341
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: go look for someone and and try and just upgrade

342
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 6: the roster and bounce it out a little bit more.

343
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: A week ago, Nordo sent me the tweet from Legion

344
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: Hoops about Kobe White, and I'm like, all right, I

345
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: mean it's Legion Hoops.

346
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: What's that?

347
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: Then it looked at us like a million followers.

348
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, so you know it's I followed you know,

349
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: some of your conversation after. But I think that's an

350
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: interesting name, not only because of what he makes, but

351
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: Chris brought him into the league when he was with

352
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Chris is a fan, as you probably know,

353
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: but he's just you know, it's a Diasumo.

354
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: Is that how you say?

355
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So you got Diasumo's hurt bench guy Hurder

356
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: is a tweiner. Then you got of course, Josh Getty

357
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: was going off every I mean, he's phenomenal with the

358
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: Bulls and Trey Jones, Apple Valley's trade jo. I mean,

359
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: you just have a you just have a logjam there

360
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: of guards. So I mean, do you do you put

361
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: any credients in the Kobe White talk?

362
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: I do, Like I think I think there's genuine interest there.

363
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 6: There's two things that you have to factor in. Is

364
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 6: one is he's had calf stuff all through the first,

365
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 6: you know, two months of this season, and so that's

366
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 6: something to watch like, is he fully healthy yep. Secondly,

367
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 6: he is in the final year of his deal, so

368
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 6: you would if you're going to give up anything of

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 6: value for him, you're going to want to have some

370
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: kind of assurances that you can hold on to him

371
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: for the long term.

372
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 3: And that's a little complicated.

373
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 6: But when you look at Kobe White, I think that

374
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 6: his shooting, I think that his ball handling would be

375
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: a help to this team. He is also, though not

376
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: a classic point guard, he is a little closer to

377
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 6: the de Vincenzo ilk of combo guard shooter more than

378
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 6: a natural playmaker.

379
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: So I think he was a natural playmaker at North Carolina,

380
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, I mean he was a true point Yeah, yeah,

381
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying with Dante.

382
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: But anyways, he is more of a ball handler than Dante.

383
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 6: Yes, I will say that, yes, yes, it is not

384
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 6: as good so and and Dante is still in a

385
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 6: contract at a great number for the next two years.

386
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: So you have to factor all of that in But

387
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 6: I do think that yes, when when they really they

388
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 6: have not had any you know, real talks with the

389
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 6: bulls yet. But if they do decide to really put

390
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 6: things in motion and say we got to go get someone,

391
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 6: I think Kobe White will be high on their list.

392
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: Why why is McDaniels so inconsistent with his It's.

393
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 6: A lot of it PA is that he goes and

394
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 6: fits and starts with.

395
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: Not being involved enough.

396
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 6: And I do think this is one of the things

397
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 6: where Chris Rink was talking about last night and needing

398
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 6: to call more plays. He's a guy that you need

399
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 6: to call plays for and say get the ball to

400
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 6: Jaden now and let him go to work, you know.

401
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 6: And so a lot of times I think last night

402
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 6: Julius got a little too ISO heavy and wanting to

403
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 6: go at Jaron Jackson.

404
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: That didn't work.

405
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 6: And so a lot of the times when Jaden McDaniels

406
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 6: is quiet, it's because he is not getting the ball

407
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 6: in places where he can do damage. And as the

408
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: third wheel on most nights, he's not going to be

409
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 6: the ultra assertive, I'm gonna grab it and go type

410
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 6: of a guy.

411
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: That's just not his mentality.

412
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 6: But the way that he has taken a huge step

413
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 6: forward in his creation and his scoring ability. I think

414
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 6: he needs to be more assertive. But I think the

415
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 6: Wolves also have to do a better job of just

416
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 6: being intentional about we need to get Jaden some shots.

417
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 6: He had three shots at halftime last night.

418
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: That's not good enough.

419
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: If if I'm the Balls and it is with de

420
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: Vincenzo at twelve or whatever and Kobe around eleven, I

421
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: mean you put de Vincenzo with giddy Oh yeah, yeah,

422
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's I would do that in a minute,

423
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 2: and Kobe can shoot. I mean I would take Kobe

424
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: White every every bit as much as de Vincenzo with

425
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: the three game. Like we said, you know, he's probably

426
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: better off the bounce defenses and in Dante's class. But

427
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if the Bulls initiate that and make it DiVincenzo,

428
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: I would understand. Why wouldn't you for sure?

429
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think that especially they'll be operating

430
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 6: knowing that the Wolves have a real need for that

431
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 6: kind of a player and that they have real expectations

432
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 6: of contending in the Western Conference, and if things are

433
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 6: not going according to plan, then the leverage is a

434
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 6: little bit more on the bull side in that scenario,

435
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 6: and so they can make big asks.

436
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: The Wolves can say no.

437
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 6: They could say, hey, how about Shannon and you know

438
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 6: this guy and then in a second round pick and.

439
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: See if you know. But there will be negotiation.

440
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 6: But I would I would expect that the Bulls would

441
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 6: start very high and then try and work down from there.

442
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Johnny has to go here in a minute for Wolves practice.

443
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: So one or two more? Who are the four best

444
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: somebody asked me this yesterday. Who are the four best

445
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: teams in the West Oka, see Denver, Houston?

446
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 3: Okay, you go Houston, Yeah, I think So what do

447
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 3: you do with the Lakers?

448
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

449
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean they've been playing well.

450
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 6: I have some doubts about their ability to defend in

451
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 6: the playoffs and to really stay healthy. So right now

452
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 6: I would say probably the Lakers, just with the way

453
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: that they are playing right now. But I think that

454
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 6: the door is open at four for the Timberwolves if

455
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 6: they're able to put something together, you know, and just

456
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 6: get going and move up there. Because I think that

457
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: the Lakers are incredible with Luke and Reeves and Lebron

458
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 6: as you know, clutch time scores and all that. But

459
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 6: I just think that that defense eventually is going to

460
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: be a little more of an issue. So I'm not

461
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 6: quite sold on them, but I can't deny the performance

462
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 6: to this point from that group.

463
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Sengoon Sheng Goon. Yeah, he's great. He's top five to

464
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: six to seven or in the NBA. Isn't he high?

465
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 6: I don't know if he's that high, but he's certainly

466
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 6: top ten, top ten to twelve somewhere in there. Just

467
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 6: the way that he is playing, I mean, he's how

468
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 6: he's so physical, so crafty, and he's actually really improved

469
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 6: from a defensive standpoint as well. That was a you

470
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 6: could just target him in the past, and he's holding

471
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 6: his ground a little bit better.

472
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

473
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 6: But those rockets, man, they are big, strong and nasty.

474
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 6: They rebound everything, and that's that's They're a load to handle.

475
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 6: And so I mean, you look at the whole landscape,

476
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 6: it's you know, it's it's okay, see Denver, Houston, and

477
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 6: then I would say maybe Antonio, yeah, and then maybe

478
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 6: it's Detroit and the Knicks are after the three or

479
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 6: four in the West.

480
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: That's how good the top of the West is.

481
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: Right.

482
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 2: Lastly, the okay, see the Champs the thunder are at

483
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: Target Target Center tomorrow night.

484
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fun.

485
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Minnesota could use a signal win against those guys, right.

486
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, absolutely get it. I mean, do you think

487
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 6: Anthony will play? I lean toward Anthony Edwards playing tomorrow night.

488
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 6: I think I think he's missed three games now, but

489
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 6: I think he's going to be ready to go for

490
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 6: that game. What we have seen from this team so

491
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 6: far is that they have played way too many bad

492
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 6: teams and they just have not had eye of the Tiger.

493
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: And I think tomorrow night they will come out ready

494
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 6: to go. I would argue that maybe one of their

495
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 6: two best games they've played all season, this was the

496
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 6: game they lost in Okay, see, right before Thanksgiving. They

497
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 6: played great. They just kind of faded down the stretch.

498
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 6: But they need to be fearful of their opponent and

499
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: they need to be worried about getting embarrassed, and they

500
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 6: will be tomorrow night. And so you know, if Edwards

501
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 6: isn't too rusty, I think they can go in and really,

502
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 6: you know, have a puncher's chance up.

503
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: You're awesome man. And Saturday, four o'clock, where is it again?

504
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: At Headflyer Brewing in Northeast Minneapolis.

505
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 6: Chris Finch Bones Island myself, all benefiting Second Harvest Hartland.

506
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: It's the John Krasinski Show Live and follow his Twitter

507
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: feed to learn more. Appreciate you stopping by, Thank you,

508
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: Johnny Athletic. Some fantasy football with Scott fish Neck there.

509
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: All right, we have a Covenant.

510
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 2: Cleanup and I'm glad we do order pointing it out

511
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: to me between segments. Not exactly sure how I came

512
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: up with Kobe White being in New Orleans with Fenchi

513
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: when Kobe White never was in New Orleans. But Chris

514
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: has talked about Kobe White with yours truly on the

515
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: radio several times when I refer to him as the

516
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: kid with the hair and he lights up the Timberwolves

517
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: for thirty thirty points a game. Covenant cleanup. Made a

518
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: mistake with a Johnny Athletic. That's a high level of

519
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: mistake with a basketball snob like that. The teamwork between

520
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: the producer and Yours truly led to the Covenant cleanup.

521
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: So that's the Covenant cleanup provided by right. It's eleven

522
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 2: thirty six and the Love Covenant. A couple of segments

523
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: to go, and this one has a fantasy bent. Generally

524
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 2: it would be take me to Chart on Thursdays, but

525
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: the timing didn't work out today, so his cohort, Scott

526
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 2: Fish with Fantasycares dot Org, he joins for a truncated

527
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: segment to discuss some pertinent things with fantasy football or

528
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: more about Scott at Scott Fish too for I'm.

529
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: Just gonna ask one question and get out of the.

530
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: Way, because Nordo is in the final three of the

531
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 2: ballyhooed and vaunted Charts League and he has a great

532
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: chance to win, and he has some significant questions for you, Scott.

533
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: So with tonight with the Rams in Seattle, is that a.

534
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: Fantasy feast or do you expect a lower scoring game?

535
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 4: And good morning, good morning, good morning. I expected to

536
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 4: be a decent game. I expected to be probably in

537
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: a mid to high forties combined. So we'll see some

538
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 4: scores out of a lot of the players here, Davante

539
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: Adams chances of him playing or slim with that hamstring

540
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 4: and knees. So they're going to have to figure out

541
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 4: many more ways to get Pooka involved. What players is

542
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 4: he looking at that he's looking for in that in

543
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: that game, it should be okay, though.

544
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I just I mean, you think about it,

545
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 7: whether it's it's Smith and Jigba, who we saw a

546
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 7: shutdown against the Vikings. I mean, that's a nightmare scenario

547
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 7: for somebody in a big spot when suddenly Jared Vers

548
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 7: and company ruined Darnold's night and you're relying your season,

549
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 7: in your life, is relying on Smith and Jigba to

550
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 7: get you fifteen to twenty points, you know what I mean?

551
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, Smith and Jigba is not what I'm worried

552
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 4: about in this one. It did, it did happen in

553
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 4: that one.

554
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: But this is a this is a.

555
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: Defense that a'mon roj just torched from the slot last week. JSN,

556
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: like i'm on, Ra plays mostly from the slot. Rams

557
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 4: are bottom six in receptions and yards allowed to wide receivers.

558
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: If you can get the ball off quick against them,

559
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: against that pass rush, you can hit them in JSN

560
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: JAS and at that all year.

561
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: So Rashi Rice, chiefs wide receiver.

562
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 7: There's been a lot of conversation with him, not just

563
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 7: because of the injury to Patrick Mahomes, but he's taken

564
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 7: a couple of hits in games, and so he's become

565
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 7: a meme in some respects and people wondering can he

566
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 7: truly be a number one? Can he carry a team

567
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 7: the way that Justin Jefferson in typical circumstances would or

568
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 7: a Jamar Chase, etc. But now the Mahomes is gone.

569
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 7: You got Gardner Minshew throwing to him. What do you

570
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 7: think of Rashi and really those playmakers avior worthy you

571
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: could talk about, or even the aging Travis Kelcey. But

572
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: just from a fantasy standpoint, a lot of people have

573
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 7: Rashi Rice in their lineups and they're worried.

574
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would be really worried. He came in

575
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 4: on Monday with the concussion protocol. He has not practiced

576
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: this week. The data tells you that the overwhelmingly vast

577
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: majority of players that come in Monday with with concussion

578
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: protocol don't play the following week. You got Taekwon Thornton

579
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 4: in concussion protocol. Well, you have Marquise Brown missing time

580
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 4: with personal reasons. I think this is a you've heard

581
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: the phrase a riding tide raises all boats. This might

582
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 4: be a sinking boat since all the players type of

583
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 4: situation where almost everyone goes down except for Kelsey because

584
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 4: we saw a year ago Gardner Minshew with the Raiders

585
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: just peppered the crap out of brock Bauers to the

586
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 4: tune of seventy five yards eight and a half targets

587
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 4: per game. Kelsey maybe might be the only true beneficiary

588
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: in that passing game here.

589
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, and not to mention now that they're out of

590
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 7: the playoffs, I mean the idea of kind of pushing

591
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 7: forward or really motivated. How motivated are the Chiefs to

592
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 7: start some of those guys now continuing down the road

593
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 7: here some other interesting things. How many people in guillotine

594
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 7: leagues or high end fantasy playoff leagues have Josh Allen

595
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 7: And I assume it's a bunch. And Josh Allen's looking

596
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 7: at the Browns on the shores of Lake Erie this weekend.

597
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 7: What do you think about that Bill's offense at against

598
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 7: Miles gart in Stefanski's defense.

599
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so you just can never bench Josh Allen.

600
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 4: It's a very tough matchup, absolutely, but Josh Allen has

601
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: been the number one or number two fantasy quarterback for

602
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 4: six years in a row. At this point, it is

603
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: a spot where it's you know, the Cleveland Browns are

604
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: fourth toughest against quarterbacks, but they've also they've also allowed

605
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: some decent games to better quarterbacks this year. We saw

606
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: we saw a few of those earlier in the year,

607
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: so I'm not exactly too worried. Lamar Jackson, a fellow

608
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: running quarterback, had two hundred and thirty plus yards and

609
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: four scores. You just can't bench Josh Allen in any way.

610
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: I do think this one lays on the ground a

611
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: whole lot more. I think we'll see a lot of

612
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 4: James Cook, as it's a defense that's allowed an absolute

613
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: ton of running backs. DeAndre Swift had ninety eight and

614
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 4: two scores last week. Tony Pollard had one hundred and

615
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: sixty one and two scores the week before. So the

616
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 4: Browns are letting it loose, letting up a lot of

617
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 4: stuff on the ground. I can see them getting ahead

618
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 4: Josh Allen not needing to pass, and it'd be more

619
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: of a James Cook game. So I understand a slight trepidation,

620
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: but I still have Josh Allen as a top six

621
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 4: or so quarterback this week.

622
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: Scott winning fantasy championships, not that I would know. I've

623
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: only won one in my life, but nevertheless, you want

624
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: to attack bad defenses. Cincinnati's given up big time chunks

625
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: right now. You got Jalen wattap, but you don't have

626
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: two up. But that may be okay. So like, how

627
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: do you handle Waddle against the Bengals?

628
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you just got to keep plugging him in.

629
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: You have to hope Quinn Evers gets it to him. Really,

630
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: there's only two options in that offense in the passing game,

631
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: I got three if you can. If you are talking

632
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: to a chan Darren Waller has been a red zone monster. Absolutely,

633
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 4: He's a guy I really love as a kind of

634
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 4: a sleeper tight end this week. But Jalen Wattle is

635
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: still getting a ridiculous amount of targets. He's getting six

636
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: and seven to seven if maybe that was a little

637
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 4: for the kids there, six seven, but he's still getting

638
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 4: six to seven targets with that kind of volume. You

639
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: got to plug him in in your flex. But if

640
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 4: you have better options, I have no problem just avoiding

641
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 4: the Quinn Evers that offense.

642
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 7: Last one for you here, really this time of year,

643
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 7: you know the reason you don't have the Fantasy Championships

644
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 7: on a week eighteen in this case typically would be

645
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 7: well the XYZ teams got a first round by around

646
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 7: the corner. They're gonna chill and they're gonna bench their

647
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 7: big timers for the postseason. But sometimes you have high

648
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 7: enders that are just on hideous teams. Now you know,

649
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 7: whether it's brock Bauers or you just think about teams

650
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 7: that aren't in the mix, but they have players that

651
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 7: you have relied upon week after week after week.

652
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: Are their players you potentially are? Are are frustrated?

653
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 7: Are worried about falling short because they're teams just awful.

654
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: They're mailing it in.

655
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 7: We got injuries on the O line, so we're just

656
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 7: gonna run the thing all day.

657
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?

658
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: So I'm among team I don't truly believe teams are players.

659
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 4: Excuse me, just stop playing when it comes to week sixteen,

660
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 4: week seventeen, et cetera. I believe they're playing for contracts.

661
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: We got a lot of players playing for bonuses. They

662
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: want starting jobs next year. Teams want to win their competitors.

663
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: I think there are some instance of that, but for

664
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 4: the most part, I just assume players are going out

665
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: there and they're trying to compete. Now, it's a different

666
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 4: story if you have a slight injury and the team

667
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 4: wants to not risk it, or the player wants to

668
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: not risk it, or if it's a team that, as

669
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 4: you mentioned, is already in the playoffs and the game

670
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 4: means nothing and they want to stay healthy for the playoffs,

671
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 4: those scenarios absolutely make sense. But outside of that, I'm

672
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: not too worried about the bad teams benching their star

673
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 4: players at the end of the year, thanking them out.

674
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: Thanks for the pinch hit, Thank you for Fantasycares dot Org.

Speaker 2: got org dot org jumped into this thing, you for

691
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: the Kyrie Jackson Foundation, Nordo Feed My Start Starving Children, Me,

692
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: Second Harvest Heartland. Two consecutive of weeks, none of us

693
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: have generated any Fantasy points. What do you have to

694
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: say for yourself about that?

695
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Scott Fish knew what he was doing. He's like,

696
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: these guys are actually good at this, and I'm going

697
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 5: to come in here and make sure that they slow

698
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 5: to their role and take my job. No, it's been brutal.

699
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie Jacobe Myers. I mean, he gets

700
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 5: seven hundred targets a game, but he can't get in

701
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 5: the end zone. It's quite frustrating. But I'm gonna respond

702
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 5: this week. I have full confidence that I will be

703
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 5: able to give my best when my best is required.

704
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 2: So running backs tomorrow, you cannot select James Cook, Christian

705
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: McCaffery or at TN So just keep that in mind

706
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: as you're preparing for running backs.

707
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: So we can make these charities some money and we can.

708
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: I'll say this.

709
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: I'll say this not to cut you off, but the

710
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 5: Giants have the worst run defense in the NFL by far,

711
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 5: not even remotely close, So I mean it might be

712
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: a challenge. But I mean, I guess I'm tipping you

713
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 5: guys off, or maybe I'm playing a game here, but

714
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 5: Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones, I mean, and this should be
