Speaker 3: guess I should say tonight. Oh had on some last night.
Speaker 3: Did you watch any of Indiana Wyoming? No?
Speaker 6: I didn't.
Speaker 3: Oh we're going to start the show with that.
Speaker 4: Ah yeah, okay, okay, now yeah they locked tomorrow tomorrow,
Speaker 4: twelve pm East on Thursday, March seventeenth, there was an
Speaker 4: NBA tie in last night. Lee Mike Woodson, the coach
Speaker 4: of Indiana, had his eyebrows.
Speaker 3: I notice, yeah, they were right, they'd beat Wyoming.
Speaker 4: They did, they did, they did, they did, and shout
Speaker 4: out to Texas Southern. Yeah, taking down the Corpus Christie's
Speaker 4: corpses our Battle of Texas.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's all the college hoops were here on today's show.
Speaker 3: Let's get into the NBA games, and well, you know
Speaker 3: where we're starting. Kyrie here ups for a career high
Speaker 3: sixty points as the Nets roll over the Magic twenty
Speaker 3: four Hours tray. After Towns goes for sixty, here's Kyrie
Speaker 3: going for sixty of his own. He's got the new
Speaker 3: franchise mark for the Nets out to eclipsing Darren Williams
Speaker 3: who had it fifty seven back in twenty twelve. It
Speaker 3: copied my surprisect that game. But anyway, Well, what did
Speaker 3: you think of the Kyrie Show?
Speaker 4: Sorry, we got to do a little bit more college
Speaker 4: basketball here. I see that Wyoming scored fifty eight points
Speaker 4: last night, So Kyrie Irving outscored the Wyoming Cowboys.
Speaker 5: I think perhaps got a shootout. Not a shootout with
Speaker 5: those capitals.
Speaker 4: Oh a rock fight, they were saying.
Speaker 5: I I don't know.
Speaker 4: Anyways. Fifty point games are the old busted sixty point games.
Speaker 4: These are the new hotness. I don't know which is crazier.
Speaker 4: Sixty point games on back to back nights Karl Anthony
Speaker 4: Towns followed by Kyrie Irving or fifty plus point games
Speaker 4: in back to back games for the Nets. Kevin Durant
Speaker 4: went for fifty three. Obviously, Kyrie sixty last night. That's
Speaker 4: the first time in NBA history that teammates have scored
Speaker 4: fifty or more in consecutive games. I also considered Kyrie
Speaker 4: going for fifty plus twice in three games, but Lebron
Speaker 4: just did that as well, So that one's out of here.
Speaker 4: Pick your poison. It's all awesome stuff. From Kyrie sixty
Speaker 4: points on twenty to thirty one, shooting eight of twelve
Speaker 4: from three. This was way different than the fifty against
Speaker 4: the Hornets. I remember talking after that when we were saying,
Speaker 4: when Kyrie has a huge game, you think you're gonna
Speaker 4: see a whole bunch of drives to the basket, fancy handles,
Speaker 4: tricky finishes. That was not the case against the Hornets,
Speaker 4: but that was definitely the case last night in he
Speaker 4: did hit the threes as well, hit eight threes, threw
Speaker 4: in six boards, four assists, and for steals because why not,
Speaker 4: had forty one points in the first half. This was
Speaker 4: a huge blowout. So when he got the fifty one
Speaker 4: in the third, I'm like, Kyrie's done.
Speaker 5: That's too bad.
Speaker 4: Only able to get ten points here in the third quarter,
Speaker 4: there's no reason to bring him back in the forth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was weird. I flipped away. I thought, that's
Speaker 5: it same.
Speaker 4: But he's a part time player, so he can't play
Speaker 4: in tonight's game. Get him back out there, get that
Speaker 4: big six zero, which he did. The bench went crazy.
Speaker 4: It was very fun to watch. My main takeaway on
Speaker 4: this one, rest is a superpower. Kyrie's playing half the time,
Speaker 4: so he's got to score double the points, but he's
Speaker 4: the freshest guy out there, which gives him a chance,
Speaker 4: and honestly, the Nets need it. John Human made a
Speaker 4: great point last night on Twitter, this was the perfect
Speaker 4: time for an explosion for Kyrie because the rest of
Speaker 4: the team has to play tonight.
Speaker 3: And he's not.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like, hey man, just go be our offense. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and that's exactly what he did. Uh, just letting Kyrie
Speaker 4: do all the work. It was fun to watch. I
Speaker 4: much preferred the sixty points to the fifty points. The
Speaker 4: three pointers are cool, but he had that take where
Speaker 4: he like body checked Cole Anthony out of the way
Speaker 4: at the free throw line, somehow throws it up off
Speaker 4: the glass. That's classic Kyrie's stuff. Awesome to watch. What
Speaker 4: do you think, Lely, Yeah it is.
Speaker 6: I mean there's no doubt about Kyrie's talent and his
Speaker 6: skill and his watchability. You know, he's automatic when he's
Speaker 6: in this zone. You want to watch him because he
Speaker 6: looks cool out there doing it. He can get that
Speaker 6: shot off. I mean the one that got the sixty
Speaker 6: was a little like on Wagner. I think it was
Speaker 6: he sort of faked and then stepped in and just
Speaker 6: knocked it in.
Speaker 4: It looks great.
Speaker 6: It's an incredible performance. Sixty points after having fifty not
Speaker 6: long ago, and their offense when they have someone like
Speaker 6: that available is really really different.
Speaker 3: I mean he's only played in nineteen games.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, he's you know, twenty seven a game. He's
Speaker 6: averaging there and so he's kept himself in ready game
Speaker 6: shape of course, you know, which is great for him.
Speaker 6: But I'm not sure it's sort of where to go
Speaker 6: with this because the Magic it was a blowout and
Speaker 6: the game was over, wasn't really close there. The Magic
Speaker 6: had been fighting and it was just then Kyrie. I thought,
Speaker 6: when he had forty one and a half time though,
Speaker 6: we might see seventy tonight. You know, why not?
Speaker 4: You know, oh he's got it.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean he could have if he chose to.
Speaker 6: And you know, he ends up with a nice, big
Speaker 6: fat sixty and a very efficient sixty as well.
Speaker 3: It was pretty cool. I don't care who it is
Speaker 3: to see the you know, when he's on the road,
Speaker 3: he can only play on road games. They're cheering for him,
Speaker 3: they're giving them standing ovations. You know, they're Magic fans there.
Speaker 3: They're probably going out to the arena to maybe see
Speaker 3: a Magic win. You know, few and far between, but
Speaker 3: that's what they're hoping for a good performance from the
Speaker 3: young guys.
Speaker 4: But then you're there.
Speaker 3: It's like going to a baseball game. If I go
Speaker 3: to a Baseball Blue Jays game, I want the Jays
Speaker 3: to win, but if the other guy has got a
Speaker 3: no hitter going through eight, well suddenly I'm cheering for
Speaker 3: no hitter.
Speaker 4: Like that's it.
Speaker 3: You know, for the most part, maybe not the playoff
Speaker 3: game or something like that, but you just want to
Speaker 3: see like quote unquote, like history or something special, be like, oh,
Speaker 3: I was there in this case when Kyrie went for sixty,
Speaker 3: they were like he was getting standing Oh's I'm not
Speaker 3: really exaggerating, but.
Speaker 5: I think there's been a lot of scenarios where we
Speaker 5: see road guys getting ovations no matter what arena, no
Speaker 5: matter what team, even if they are a strong fan base.
Speaker 5: Say a lot of the Magic fans are just there
Speaker 5: just because there's a something going on in Orlando. But yeah,
Speaker 5: another funny thing on Twitter last night, Toronto Raptors fans
Speaker 5: who are currently in seventh place, saying let's get the
Speaker 5: hell out of the play in tournament. This is not
Speaker 5: good for us. We do not want to play the
Speaker 5: Brooklyn Nets yeah, it seems like a consensus across the league.
Speaker 5: You don't want to play an eighth place team in
Speaker 5: the freaking play in tournament, which is like this, no, sir,
Speaker 5: And yeah, it'll be a good story if they get
Speaker 5: into the postseason, a headline will be, you know, they're
Speaker 5: trying to replicate what the Knicks did back in ninety
Speaker 5: nine as an eight scene and go to the finals.
Speaker 5: And so there's a little New York tie in, but
Speaker 5: everybody wants to get the hell away from these Brooklyn nets,
Speaker 5: which yeah, it is a little a little wild, but yeah,
Speaker 5: watching these two guys fifty points consecutive games with Durant
Speaker 5: and Kyrie, it's hard not to think of the twenty
Speaker 5: sixteen finals for me, where they finished the job Bron
Speaker 5: and Kyrie did five, six, seven, where in game five
Speaker 5: they had a combined and then they got a forty
Speaker 5: one from Lebron in game six, and then they got
Speaker 5: it done in game seven, and and we could say
Speaker 5: that it's you know, all this theater going on with
Speaker 5: them playing home games and Kyrie sitting in the stands
Speaker 5: and them getting a fine and all that and make
Speaker 5: fun of it, but you know, I bring up the Calves,
Speaker 5: because I don't think that these guys like each other
Speaker 5: are less than that Cavs team. Like this is a
Speaker 5: good locker room when they play basketball, as weird as
Speaker 5: it is from on the outside for us. But this
Speaker 5: guy's playing only half the games. If he does end
Speaker 5: up playing in all the games, I mean, they have
Speaker 5: as good a shot as anybody to go win the thing.
Speaker 5: And that's that's the bottom line. You know, the Calves
Speaker 5: had some issues even though you know the Trey was
Speaker 5: in the locker room when they won and they were
Speaker 5: all buds. Kyrie and Lebron definitely had a bit of
Speaker 5: a thing going on. Kyrie got the heck out of there.
Speaker 5: It seems like going back to last year, Steve Nash
Speaker 5: has this team together. So that's why the Raptors, that's
Speaker 5: why everybody wants to avoid this team, because they're that good.
Speaker 3: Who's going to go for sixty tonight? There's twelve games
Speaker 3: on Can this streak continue? You know he said it
Speaker 3: Towns two nights ago, Kyrie last night. Best guesses is
Speaker 3: it Trey Young versus the Hornets? Is that someone else?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, why not Kevin Durant, you know,
Speaker 6: but then I was like sure. Then I was like,
Speaker 6: that's a bit of a boring pick. So I was
Speaker 6: gonna actually say, Trey Young in Charlotte, they need both
Speaker 6: teams desperately need this win. Tray's been pretty hot lightly,
Speaker 6: so maybe he could go out in there and grab sixty.
Speaker 3: Be great, everybody's hot.
Speaker 4: Listen to this.
Speaker 3: Over the last two weeks alone, we've had seven games
Speaker 3: of fifty points or more, two of those, of course
Speaker 3: being sixty. So Kyrie with two of them fifty and sixty,
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Town's with the sixty, Lebron with two fifty
Speaker 3: plus games, the fifty and the fifty six, Tatum fifty four,
Speaker 3: Kat fifty three. You add to that forty seven for
Speaker 3: Curry the other night, forty seven and forty six for
Speaker 3: Trey Young, forty five for Jordan Clarkson, forty four for
Speaker 3: Jo and Dearon Fox who also had forty one, forty
Speaker 3: three for you Honis and Embeid, forty one for Darius Garland,
Speaker 3: a forty piece for the Joker the last two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure this is going to stop either here,
Speaker 3: Like I think this is going to continue. These forty
Speaker 3: forty fives fifties, maybe not sixty, maybe not even.
Speaker 4: Sixty tonight, but who knows. We could get three fifty
Speaker 4: point games tonight. That sounds ridiculous, but it's certainly possible.
Speaker 4: Atlanta at Charlotte Trey Young, like you're saying, back to
Speaker 4: back forty seven and forty six, he likes to be
Speaker 4: elevated to what about this guy's status? A massive game
Speaker 4: between those two teams in terms of big time court
Speaker 4: advantage of a big time game. We've also got Denver
Speaker 4: at Washington. That'd be a nice little tick on Jokic's
Speaker 4: season long his resume throwing up a sixty point game
Speaker 4: against them. And then we've got the Milwaukee Bucks against
Speaker 4: the Sacramento Kings. That could be a Yannis fifty point
Speaker 4: game easily right there.
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: If we're talking about one hundred and fifty points between
Speaker 4: three players tomorrow, that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think a big part of it is
Speaker 5: just guys gearing up for the postseason and playing their
Speaker 5: best basketball. And that's what makes me think, like, drop
Speaker 5: it to fifty fifty games per season, maybe we see
Speaker 5: a lot more of this, like huge numbers because these
Speaker 5: guys are just performing because they need to get ready
Speaker 5: for the playoffs.
Speaker 3: You sort of think that's what's going on here maybe,
Speaker 3: but also maybe hand in hands some of the teams
Speaker 3: that these guys are putting up monster numbers against.
Speaker 4: I think it's a double.
Speaker 3: Games are a little bit like, yeah, we're we're slowing
Speaker 3: down because we're not really anything to play for right now.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it's easy no matter who the
Speaker 3: hell you're playing to score fifty or sixty points.
Speaker 4: It was easy for Kyrie against the Hornets, that one easy.
Speaker 4: That was the easiest fifty of the season, right.
Speaker 5: I think the Orlando Magic we're still the Orlando Magic
Speaker 5: in November and December and no one was dropping fifty
Speaker 5: on them. I mean, I think we're seeing a two
Speaker 5: week span here because yeah, guys are just the nets.
Speaker 5: Look at them. They are ready to go into the post.
Speaker 5: They know that the first sixty games, what does it
Speaker 5: really really mean to them? I mean, I think that's
Speaker 5: the part of it. We're seeing it. And Lebron we
Speaker 5: desperately need wins in Los Angeles, so he's doing all
Speaker 5: he can. And you know, you saw it in the
Speaker 5: play in tournament last year. Yeah, I think that's part
Speaker 5: of it for sure.
Speaker 3: I know we were talking about the Nets, what we've
Speaker 3: been talking about them a lot of courses, and you
Speaker 3: were not convinced that they're like, yeah, they're a total contender.
Speaker 3: Are you coming around on that?
Speaker 4: Still have your h.
Speaker 6: Yeah they can be, but they've still got a tough
Speaker 6: road to get through here. So you know, one slip up,
Speaker 6: one injury, and they're in trouble. When Kevin Durant is
Speaker 6: out there, it's certainly they elevate that team, but right now,
Speaker 6: you know, against having to get through potentially say Miami
Speaker 6: and a Milwaukee and who else, maybe a Philadelphia, probably
Speaker 6: not one. You know, you're gonna have to pick one
Speaker 6: of those two teams. So the path is very very
Speaker 6: tough for them. If they are coming from the eighth seed,
Speaker 6: a contender, maybe the seventh seat, Yeah yeah it's seventh, right,
Speaker 6: doesn't really matter. They've got no home court advantage, they
Speaker 6: may not have Kyrie for the entire playoffs, so they're
Speaker 6: they're a more a contender than not a contender. But
Speaker 6: I don't I'm not convinced they're going to get there
Speaker 6: just just because it despite the brilliance of Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6: He's still got to do that time and time and
Speaker 6: time again on the road.
Speaker 3: We still have NBA guy to like fold into the
Speaker 3: mix here.
Speaker 4: Yes, Ben Simmons, never heard of that name.
Speaker 3: Well, Steve Nash says he's extremely hopeful that Ben Simmons
Speaker 3: can play for the Nets before the regular season ends.
Speaker 3: But this is a little shocking, right, tass. I mean
Speaker 3: there was this back issue. Some of us definitely me thought, hmm,
Speaker 3: seems a little suspect it's the timing of going to
Speaker 3: play in Philadelphia that he's got this back issue. But
Speaker 3: they're saying it's more serious than maybe it was first
Speaker 3: led to believe. Like he's not doing anything outside of
Speaker 3: individual work. He's you know, he's around the team film
Speaker 3: session and all that, trying to learn like sets are
Speaker 3: running and stuff. But he's not doing, from what I
Speaker 3: can tell, practice with them five on five action. And
Speaker 3: we are running out of games here in the regular season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's surprising. He's been there a month, he hasn't
Speaker 5: practiced yet. So yeah, something serious going on, whether it's
Speaker 5: the mental health issue or just the back issue, but yes,
Speaker 5: we are running out of games, and even the way
Speaker 5: Gordon Dragic was asked about it. His response was more like, yeah,
Speaker 5: we're folding a guy who's gonna be a defensive player
Speaker 5: and rebound for us, like they know where the bread
Speaker 5: is buttered.
Speaker 3: Then to fold in a guy that needs.
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's going to
Speaker 5: be the distributor for Kyrie and uh for KD. And
Speaker 5: you know it's wild to think that, Like, let's say this,
Speaker 5: the mandates continue into the postseason. Kyrie is still going
Speaker 5: to be available for more than half the games because
Speaker 5: they're playing on the road.
Speaker 3: Every single We joked about that.
Speaker 5: It is crazy, it is bonkers. But yes, Kevin Durant
Speaker 5: is still the best player in the world. And I
Speaker 5: think it's fair to call him that because I said
Speaker 5: to Compo, every time he plays against the Brooklyn Nets,
Speaker 5: he says that guy after the game, after they win
Speaker 5: or lose, that guy over there, he's the best player
Speaker 5: in the world. And I don't think there's another scenario
Speaker 5: where one of the best players in the world calls
Speaker 5: one of the other players in the world the best
Speaker 5: player in the world. So I think it's fair to
Speaker 5: call KD that. And we see, yeah, that he can
Speaker 5: carry a team and whether it Ben's means is there not,
Speaker 5: which is yeah, it is, it's a it's a I
Speaker 5: don't get it. I don't get it. We're at, yeah,
Speaker 5: thirteen games remaining for the Brooklyn Nets, and he's still
Speaker 5: not going to be playing for the next few so yeah,
Speaker 5: just before the postseason, the guy is going to come
Speaker 5: in and be your starting point guard. It's it's wild.
Speaker 3: KD disagreed that he and Kirry are the greatest duel
Speaker 3: of all time, and he said, quote, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of great artists that played together.
Speaker 4: Fun quote.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious if you have a favorite artist duo
Speaker 3: actual music.
Speaker 6: H hmm. I really liked Luth Vandrus and Mariah Carey
Speaker 6: and I put together.
Speaker 3: I was not expecting that answer, because that's a great answer.
Speaker 4: I'm glad I asked.
Speaker 3: Your favorite artist du.
Speaker 6: Due A very very small field, though, isn't there. I mean,
Speaker 6: wham right, George monkl Andrew rich Lee, they faced Georgia,
Speaker 6: good one. Yeah, who else we got?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 4: JD? You can jump in here.
Speaker 3: If you've got a duo comes to mind, captain and
Speaker 3: to Neil.
Speaker 5: For fears oh.
Speaker 4: Stripes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they were a good one. Good one, Uh, Lennon
Speaker 8: and McCartney considered a duo or no interesting?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you have to almost in this uh,
Speaker 3: in this sort of comparison here, It's not like it's
Speaker 3: just Kyrie and KD out there playing basketball. There are
Speaker 3: other players, there's drumming, there's you know, Bruce Brown.
Speaker 4: Drummond Brown.
Speaker 6: The stream teams reminded me a shaggy and sting. I mean.
Speaker 3: Even I forgot yeah, okay, anything else from Kyrie sixty
Speaker 3: or this insane scoring binge.
Speaker 4: Going on in the NBA right now? Do you think
Speaker 4: a player is going to score one hundred or more
Speaker 4: points than the next ten years, Like by twenty thirty,
Speaker 4: it's been sixty years. Guys are getting fifty and sixty easily.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right now.
Speaker 4: It can't played like two and a half quarters and
Speaker 4: got sixty points.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it can't be a blowout though.
Speaker 4: That's the problems for sure.
Speaker 6: It's gotta be a tight game.
Speaker 3: I think I saw Ryan Rosillo tweeting that the NBA
Speaker 3: should be allowed to fine, let's say the Nets last
Speaker 3: night when they take a guy out like Kyrie who's
Speaker 3: got fifty, Yeah, with so much time, so like you
Speaker 3: should like you're penalized if you take out a guy
Speaker 3: that could gun for either a Kobe like number or
Speaker 3: even like a Will Hunter.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean that's the thing is like you sort of
Speaker 6: do it out of respect for the game, don't you, Like, well,
Speaker 6: we're blowing you out. He's got fifty, we'll sit him down.
Speaker 3: But like TA said, it's so funny, like the line
Speaker 3: is drawn, like, hey, he's allowed to go for the
Speaker 3: franchise record basically is what I think they were getting
Speaker 3: the last day, him getting to sixty, like I said,
Speaker 3: eclipsing Darren Williams fifty seven.
Speaker 5: But that's it.
Speaker 3: Then then then he's out to respect that he's out
Speaker 3: unless the game is close, yeah, which it's not.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's one of those unwritten rules.
Speaker 4: So do you think we see one hundred and there?
Speaker 6: No? I think so.
Speaker 3: You don't think we'll be sitting here in the Classic
Speaker 3: Factor talking about one hundred would be talking about seventy
Speaker 3: point games.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Devin book I had seventy years five years ago.
Speaker 4: Was that something like that?
Speaker 3: Hey put Devin Booker on that list who could go
Speaker 3: for sixty to night if he's playing against the Rockets,
Speaker 3: which I believe he is b that's a good one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yep.
Speaker 5: So much more surprising is that we haven't had more
Speaker 5: than seventy since Kobe. I mean so, so the list
Speaker 5: is just it's all Wilt and then David Robinson in there,
Speaker 5: like with seventy or over. So you'd think that somebody
Speaker 5: would get more than seventy, but you need those happen
Speaker 5: perfect conditions.
Speaker 3: I guess a big part of it. The big part
Speaker 3: of the Kobe going for eighty.
Speaker 6: One was the rafts were in the game that would
Speaker 6: damn three after three quotas yea, I think yeah.
Speaker 3: Because then there is the classic Kobe game where he
Speaker 3: had correct me sixty.
Speaker 4: Against three quarters. Yeah right, and that one was just over.
Speaker 4: I believe that game similar to this. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Well, let us know on the stream
Speaker 3: team a couple of questions, who's going for sixties to
Speaker 3: night your best guess?
Speaker 4: Let us know that? And uh yeah. Answers to trace question,
Speaker 4: are we gonna.
Speaker 3: We're gonna yeah, thirty eighty ninety or one hundred twenty.
Speaker 4: Thirty When you need a ninety point game, yeah, got fifties, sixties, seventies,
Speaker 4: one to eighty, it's got a ninety.
Speaker 3: Sounds actually almost arguably cooler than one hundred. I don't
Speaker 3: know why going for ninety one. Yeah, all right, a
Speaker 3: couple other games last night, we brought up Devin Booker.
Speaker 3: Maybe he goes for sixty tonight. Well, he scored twenty
Speaker 3: seven in thirty minutes as the Suns sunk the Pelicans
Speaker 3: one thirty one, one point fifteen. He had a little
Speaker 3: span at the end of the third quarter, a little
Speaker 3: thirty three second span Booker did where he sort of
Speaker 3: like closed the door on the game. Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: the Pelicans are hanging around, but then he comes down.
Speaker 3: He draws a foul on believe it was Jose Alvarado,
Speaker 3: you know, sort of gets to a spot, gets the reaching,
Speaker 3: hits the jumper and one hits the free throw. Pelicans
Speaker 3: come down, they miss, Booker hits a three in transition
Speaker 3: from about twenty six feet, so there's boom. Six points
Speaker 3: just like that. Willie Green called it demoralizing, and again
Speaker 3: it was like sort of a close game. Then it's
Speaker 3: pretty big and then Manti Williams subs Devin Booker out
Speaker 3: to start the fourth.
Speaker 4: That's fine, get him some rest. He never has to
Speaker 4: come back. In JaVale McGee time. Baby.
Speaker 3: He scored nine of his nineteen points in the first
Speaker 3: four minutes of that fourth quarter, and then the Suns
Speaker 3: had a huge lead, and again Booker didn't have to return,
Speaker 3: and Phoenix gets there, I believe, fifty four fifty fifth
Speaker 3: win of the season, fifty five and fourteen. They're twenty
Speaker 3: six and six on the road, and you know, everybody
Speaker 3: just contributing for this team that looks like without Chris Paul,
Speaker 3: still just a machine, I think is the best way
Speaker 3: to put it in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we've talked about already. They're virtually locked
Speaker 6: up number one. There's seven and a half games up
Speaker 6: on Memphis and eight on Golden State. So I expect
Speaker 6: probably Devin Booker and maybe Bridges and a couple of
Speaker 6: rest here. I expect that I will take again two off,
Speaker 6: especially again against the Rockets on a back to back.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that tonight, but those sort of circumstances,
Speaker 6: you'd think Monty Williams will start to put a bit
Speaker 6: of an eye towards just making sure guys are fresh
Speaker 6: and ready to go for the playoffs, because it's been great,
Speaker 6: because a little bumpy when Chris Paul went out there.
Speaker 6: They lost a couple of games, but they're rolling right now,
Speaker 6: and for the Pelicans they can just be thankful. I
Speaker 6: think that the Blazers are not trying to do anything
Speaker 6: here because you know they've they've you know, they have
Speaker 6: been battling, but they've well they actually only lost one
Speaker 6: game in a row Kire, but they've they've lost a
Speaker 6: few recently when they could have.
Speaker 3: They're fine when Brandon Ingram plays, Yeah, they're a very
Speaker 3: good team, but without him, the record is I don't know,
Speaker 3: if you have in front of you, it's like.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're pretty bad. So they haven't solidified yet their
Speaker 6: spot in the plane, but they're you know, game up
Speaker 6: on Portland, two up on San Antonio.
Speaker 3: When it comes to the Signs too, I know Suns
Speaker 3: fans tasks are probably like salivating that Tory Craig hit
Speaker 3: three threes. You know, they hit eighteen overall in this game.
Speaker 3: But like if he can do that, like he needs
Speaker 3: to be able to shoot hi memory, he couldn't hit
Speaker 3: anything the playoffs. You know, he's a great defensive player.
Speaker 3: You want him out there, but he just like knock
Speaker 3: down one, two, three threes. He's there's minutes there for him,
Speaker 3: and that's what he did last night. So see if
Speaker 3: you can continue that in a postseason. Same thing with
Speaker 3: like campaign stuff like that. Is he's gotten more opportunity
Speaker 3: with Chris Paul out all these guys. I mean, it
Speaker 3: sounds silly. It's like your stars win you a title
Speaker 3: or get you the finals, but to really pull it off,
Speaker 3: you need those games, those quarters, those moments where these
Speaker 3: guys come in and can maybe turn around a game.
Speaker 5: Is he gonna play I would think, I would say
Speaker 5: Cam Johnson is as a far bigger player that he
Speaker 5: needs to get back. He's he's been hurt, but yeah,
Speaker 5: I think yeah, they're they're ready to go there. You know,
Speaker 5: the Chris Paul thing was the biggest worry and that's
Speaker 5: still their biggest concern. Is he going to be back healthy?
Speaker 5: When's he coming back?
Speaker 4: Huge question mark?
Speaker 5: Hopefully.
Speaker 3: I mean there's really been no updates.
Speaker 6: I expect if he's healthy, they'll try to get him
Speaker 6: a game or two before the playoffs, for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah try and yeah that yeah, all right?
Speaker 3: Anything else to add to the Suns. You know, beating
Speaker 3: down the Pelicans were probably going to fly through the
Speaker 3: rest of these games. To be honest, because we had
Speaker 3: Max Struce leading elite rally. I know Tass was happy.
Speaker 3: I'm happy. I can't remember it was your daughter picking. No,
Speaker 3: your daughter was picking the heat, right.
Speaker 5: Her butt picked the.
Speaker 4: Her foot picked the heat.
Speaker 5: Hot farts all right.
Speaker 3: Anyway, the Heat won with the Pistons cover, we'll get
Speaker 3: to that leader and pick them one.
Speaker 4: Leget started on this one.
Speaker 6: With the Heat farted in the third quarter. They were
Speaker 6: up fourteen points with about seven minutes to go in
Speaker 6: the third sort of looked like it was leaning towards
Speaker 6: blowout territory, and then they could not score.
Speaker 3: Do you never want to blow out when it comes.
Speaker 6: To nineteen straight points by the Pistons. They got back
Speaker 6: in the lead, and then it was Max Struce in
Speaker 6: that fourth quarter scored sixteen points. He wasn't even supposed
Speaker 6: to be playing in this game, but Jimmy Butler got injured.
Speaker 6: He left in the first half and tweaked his ankle there.
Speaker 6: Didn't look super serious. I think they probably thought we're
Speaker 6: going to win this game. Let's just not take any chances. Anyway,
Speaker 6: Streuce came off the bench and saved the day really
Speaker 6: for Miami because they were down. They came back they
Speaker 6: get the nice victory in the end seven points. But
Speaker 6: you have to give Dwayne Casey a lot of credit here.
Speaker 6: He has this team playing hard. Kate cunning and missed
Speaker 6: this game. He was sick. Yeah, that was a sort
Speaker 6: of late game decision.
Speaker 3: He came to shoot around looking like death in crackers.
Speaker 3: So he was in pretty bad ship that was doing
Speaker 3: ca tking and will keep cunning it. This man was
Speaker 3: eating crackers.
Speaker 6: But the Pistons competed really well in this game, I thought,
Speaker 6: and you know, Livers coming off the bench, Isaiah Liver's
Speaker 6: coming off the bench. He played some good minnesoult and
Speaker 6: they just worked hard. They just went out there and
Speaker 6: said we're not going to be embarrassed tonight, and they weren't.
Speaker 6: So full credit to the team for doing that. And
Speaker 6: the Heat scored eleven points in the third quarter and
Speaker 6: thirty seven in the fourth quarter, So that had a
Speaker 6: big second half, but just sort of not the way
Speaker 6: you would have thought going into a game against the Pistons.
Speaker 6: So the Heat went as they should. Pistons did a
Speaker 6: fantastic job just making it competitive.
Speaker 3: I'm excited for Taylor hero in the poor season. This
Speaker 3: guy is on fire. He's locked up six Man of
Speaker 3: the Year. It's his He's taking that hardware home with him,
Speaker 3: rightfully so. But he's gonna have like, we're gonna get
Speaker 3: some bubble hero moments here. I think in the postseason
Speaker 3: he's so important. He plays a lot off the bench,
Speaker 3: but we're gonna get twenty five point games, thirty point games,
Speaker 3: I would think, because he's done it all season long.
Speaker 4: Try Oh yeah, he's been really great and he's a
Speaker 4: major X factor for the Heat, especially right now with
Speaker 4: whatever is going on with Jimmy Butler's ankle. This is
Speaker 4: the third time this season already that he's sprained that
Speaker 4: same ankle. The Heat are two and a half games
Speaker 4: up on the Bucks right now. They've got an easy
Speaker 4: ish schedule, though somehow they play a lot more playoff
Speaker 4: teams than non playoff teams despite having one of the
Speaker 4: easier schedules left over. I don't understand it, Tankathon, make
Speaker 4: it make sense, But they're gonna need a hero to
Speaker 4: be their main off the dribble kind of penetration. Guy
Speaker 4: Strews has been good. He was awesome last night. Victor
Speaker 4: Oladipo's back had eleven points in his debut. Has scored
Speaker 4: eleven points. Since maybe they give him a little bit
Speaker 4: of run, but Hero is gonna be the guy that
Speaker 4: needs to make shots for them, especially come play off time.
Speaker 4: He was awesome in the bubble and then he was
Speaker 4: brutal in Round one against the Bucks last year. Thirty
Speaker 4: one percent from the field, thirty one percent from three,
Speaker 4: scored nine points a game. He's going to have to
Speaker 4: be eighteen, nineteen to twenty five if they're going to
Speaker 4: have a chance to win a title this year. He's
Speaker 4: just just a very high, volatile kind of player with
Speaker 4: a very high ceiling, and when he's on fire, like
Speaker 4: he looks unstoppable. He's really figured out how to put
Speaker 4: the ball on the floor and score at the hoop
Speaker 4: as well as just shooting threes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's finishing around the room. Is really impressive for
Speaker 6: a young guy. It's almost Carrias like he can switch
Speaker 6: it to elly the hand and finish very comfortably. So yeah,
Speaker 6: he's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Miami put another half game between you said
Speaker 3: at the Bucks they're two and a half up, Philly's
Speaker 3: three and a half back, Chicago four, Boston four and
Speaker 3: a half. So it's not over the heat.
Speaker 4: Wrapping up the number one. Now we think it's most likely.
Speaker 5: I thought it was kind of weird that Max Strew's
Speaker 5: quote wasn't supposed to play like he was on the bench.
Speaker 5: I guess Oladipo is getting more burned than him. What
Speaker 5: more can Strucy do get him out there? I think
Speaker 5: the question mark, yeah, is off the bench hero is
Speaker 5: going to be their guy. That's going to be the
Speaker 5: number one priority. He's got to be huge, and the
Speaker 5: headlines going to the playoffs are going to be, Yeah,
Speaker 5: this guy scored nine points a game last year in
Speaker 5: the playoffs. What is he going to do this year?
Speaker 5: But Struce beside him has been so fricking good this season,
Speaker 5: So I'm a little confused, like, are they going to
Speaker 5: Are they going to play all the depot and Gabe
Speaker 5: Vincent off the bench over Max Struz when the guy
Speaker 5: just is really really important to them. I think that's
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a good problem to have, But they've
Speaker 5: got a little bit of what the Warriors have a
Speaker 5: little too many gods, too many guys that can play
Speaker 5: the guard position off the bench.
Speaker 3: Final game from last night only four on Grizzlies cruised
Speaker 3: past the Pacers to notch their fourth straight victory.
Speaker 4: No Ja Morant, but they got it done to Usk.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thirty eight assists without Jahn Morant and that's a
Speaker 5: ginormous number and they're doing it obviously by committee and
Speaker 5: another assist from Jah Morant. On Twitter, he tweeted that
Speaker 5: Jerones Jackson should win Defensive Player of the Year. Always
Speaker 5: out there for his guys. Stat muse tweeting that Jaron
Speaker 5: Jackson Junior leads the NBA in blocks, leads the NBA
Speaker 5: and block percentage block percentage. What the is that? It's
Speaker 5: percentage of shots blocked while on the floor anyways, second
Speaker 5: in defensive field goal percentage, and third among centers in
Speaker 5: three points three pointers contested. Crazy, Yeah he shouldn't. I
Speaker 5: think statue should have just stopped at three.
Speaker 3: But anyway's why they turned off the comments.
Speaker 5: But yeah, they get it done against that Pacers team.
Speaker 5: That was That was horrendous. That was bad.
Speaker 3: Oh, they are all in on the take Indiana. It's bad.
Speaker 3: But yeah, good, good Grizzlies win here. What do you
Speaker 3: think about Jaron Jackson Juniors? Okay, look, he's probably not
Speaker 3: gonna win Defensive Player of the Year, might get some votes, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and he's probably gonna be in the mix for one
Speaker 3: of the two teams.
Speaker 6: Yes, he is. I mean he's I think he's be tough. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think most improved is where he's got a better
Speaker 6: chance of getting some attraction there.
Speaker 4: I just gonna win it.
Speaker 6: Yeah maybe, yeah, exact you will. Yeah. But defensively, I
Speaker 6: think this is just going to be a year behind
Speaker 6: because you just haven't noticed him have the impact that
Speaker 6: he's had this season. He goes after it. If you
Speaker 6: come into the paint, he's aggressively trying to block your shots.
Speaker 6: He's not waiting for you to come to the rim.
Speaker 4: So I love it.
Speaker 6: I think it's been huge. I think he's been incredible
Speaker 6: for them this season. And we've questioned whether or not
Speaker 6: he's worth that big four years, one hundred million because
Speaker 6: he was always injured and like, is he a big traditionally,
Speaker 6: I mean not so much. But this year he's proven
Speaker 6: to be a lot more effective in that role. So
Speaker 6: I hope he does get some love for it. I've
Speaker 6: just been really impressed with everything that Grizzlies have done
Speaker 6: this season. I think Tyler, what's it coach's name, Taylor Jenks,
Speaker 6: Taylor Jenkins, thank you, thank you, I think he's got
Speaker 6: a real chance for Coach of the Year as well,
Speaker 6: So they've got some They're going to get some accolades
Speaker 6: there in Memphis.
Speaker 3: Should we do some hardware talk on Friday's drop podcasts?
Speaker 3: I think there's only one game on.
Speaker 4: Makes sense the tournament. Yeah, that's exactly right. It'd be
Speaker 4: a good time.
Speaker 3: I know we've talked about the m v P, so
Speaker 3: we could that one aside and talk about some of
Speaker 3: these other ones coach and Defensive Player of the Year
Speaker 3: and Most Improved and stuff like that. What do you
Speaker 3: think should we should somebody write that down in the.
Speaker 4: Rod in the brainstorms, but the worst awards, We'll talk
Speaker 4: about all of them on Friday. Get excited.
Speaker 3: We can fill out our ballot even make it a
Speaker 3: little more exciting. One two, three or something like that.
Speaker 3: We could do all NBA teams. Hey, we're at the
Speaker 3: point of the season. We gotta start doing this. It's
Speaker 3: not a lot of regular see the left, guys, there's
Speaker 3: not but you gotta see all of it now.
Speaker 5: You know, not all you do.
Speaker 4: If you're picking m v P, you got I didn't
Speaker 4: say m VP. I didn't.
Speaker 6: We're talking about we're not gonna do m v P
Speaker 6: that we gonna do the other one.
Speaker 3: We talk about the m v P every day.
Speaker 6: On this the reason, there's a reason. It's the juicy
Speaker 6: way you.
Speaker 4: Want to talk. Six man, I would love the toxic.
Speaker 3: I would love to know who's in third spot on yourself?
Speaker 6: What did you do last year? You did the ten.
Speaker 4: Teams?
Speaker 5: That's what.
Speaker 3: Make it eleven this year?
Speaker 4: I always had one.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 3: I love Sico mode. Okay, I'll start getting to work
Speaker 3: on the all NBA teams ten all NBA teams tasks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think should we do that on Friday?
Speaker 3: What else are we gonna do?
Speaker 5: What else are we going to do? One game on
Speaker 5: you just watch college basketball? Whoa, nobody's watching the NBA.
Speaker 5: That's why NBA TV would give us days off.
Speaker 3: Yea, what days would we get off?
Speaker 4: Friday and then Moday Championship.
Speaker 3: So we got we're working here in the Classic Factory
Speaker 3: on Thursday.
Speaker 5: Friday watching the games, watching games.
Speaker 3: That's not a bad idea. Okay, we'll kick that idea around. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's take our break. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 3: hit the beach. Answer a few of your questions don't
Speaker 3: go anywhere. Back here in the Classic Factory, we were
Speaker 3: talking about Tyler Hero and uh the odds to him
Speaker 3: winning six man. We brought up stat Muse the Twitter account. Well,
Speaker 3: look at this tweet, speak of the devil. Tyler Hero
Speaker 3: twenty one points per game is averaging more points than
Speaker 3: Jamal Crawford, Manu Ginobili, or Jason Terry ever did in
Speaker 3: any of their you know, seasons in their career. Truly
Speaker 3: one of the best sixth man seasons we've ever seen.
Speaker 3: That is by way of at stat mues on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Can you reply m m No, I can't turn off.
Speaker 3: They don't want the engagement.
Speaker 4: Well I would engage with that tweet and say, nice tweet.
Speaker 4: Those are some serious stats. Those are some of the
Speaker 4: best six men we've ever had in the league.
Speaker 3: Lock it in, Yeah, it's good stat Good stat there,
Speaker 3: stat muse a tip the beach, Yeah, beach step in
Speaker 3: only place to read your emails and tweets. I would
Speaker 3: like to reply to stat muse great stat every time
Speaker 3: they share.
Speaker 4: A good step. I think we should what did you
Speaker 4: just say, great stats, stat mus We should clip that
Speaker 4: and then reply to every one of their tweets with
Speaker 4: great stats status.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're on the beach where you guys are sending
Speaker 3: in your questions. You can tweet them in at No
Speaker 3: dunk Zinc. You can leave me in the YouTube comments
Speaker 3: below our videos, or you can email them in No
Speaker 3: Dunks at the Athletic dot Com. Got one from Jamie. Hi, guys,
Speaker 3: I'm fairly new. I've been listening for about a year.
Speaker 3: I love the show. I wish i'd watched you back
Speaker 3: on NBA TV, but I never watch any talking heads
Speaker 3: NBA shows.
Speaker 4: All right, I've.
Speaker 3: Asked this before, and I'm thinking maybe you think it's
Speaker 3: just not an interesting question, but I'm gonna ask it
Speaker 3: one more time. Here you go, you're starting a team
Speaker 3: with one m Bridges. Which one do you choose? My
Speaker 3: guess is you all think it's easy mcale bridges because
Speaker 3: of upside et cetera. But Miles sure is getting it
Speaker 3: done right now. Thanks again. That's Jamie his perseverance here,
Speaker 3: sending in this question every day for the last four months.
Speaker 5: Here we go, kidding. I didn't like it the first
Speaker 5: time I read it, but I think now it's the
Speaker 5: appropriate time. It's a great question. Has Miles past the
Speaker 5: other Bridges? Has he driven past him? No, I would
Speaker 5: take mcal Bridges. Yeah, you know, I don't think it's
Speaker 5: us a lot. I mean, you're it's either you're picking
Speaker 5: offense or you're picking an extremely good defensive player with
Speaker 5: solid offense. Yeah, in mckel Bridges. And yes, maybe some
Speaker 5: maybe some more upside with Miles, but I'm taking mckel
Speaker 5: and just how solid that man is. And also because
Speaker 5: I was playing Perdle the old NBA word game last
Speaker 5: week and there was a six eight forward and I
Speaker 5: thought it was Michel Bridges. I think he's bigger than
Speaker 5: he is because he's only six six, because he's that
Speaker 5: amazing defensively. How tall do you think he is?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I probably would have thought he was taller than six
Speaker 3: because his arms gone forever.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got a seven to one wingspan, and that's
Speaker 5: someone special that you wont on your team. So, although
Speaker 5: Miles is having a great year and he's come back
Speaker 5: to earth in terms of shooting the ball, I would
Speaker 5: take mckel Bridges, But Jamie, I appreciate it. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: appreciate that question.
Speaker 3: Miles Bridges is having an awesome year. Yeah, he is
Speaker 3: averaging twenty points per game, seven boards, four assists. You know,
Speaker 3: he's not shooting the three ball all that well, but
Speaker 3: forty eight point five percent from the floor.
Speaker 4: All, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6: It's down a little bit the three point shoots from
Speaker 6: last year. He's taking a few more. But he is
Speaker 6: the second best player on the Hornets, and it's very close,
Speaker 6: I think there with Lamello Gourdan. Do you think I
Speaker 6: think he's better than Gordon. I mean, Gordon just doesn't.
Speaker 6: He's not out in the court enough. But so Bridges,
Speaker 6: I think, is more you know, fourth on the suns,
Speaker 6: and I think he really thrives in that role. He's
Speaker 6: fantastic defensively. Doesn't get as many opportunities to shoot and
Speaker 6: score as Bridges in Charlotte probably does. So if McHale
Speaker 6: Bridges was then in a more elevated role like second
Speaker 6: best you know player to look forward to score, would
Speaker 6: he be able to contribute that sort of twenty to
Speaker 6: maybe twenty two a game right now?
Speaker 4: Possibly?
Speaker 6: But I think he's just really able to do a
Speaker 6: lot more given that, you know, behind Chris Paul and
Speaker 6: Devin Booker and eight and when he plays, when they
Speaker 6: all play, then Bridges can he doesn't get the same
Speaker 6: defensive attention that Miles gets in Charlotte. So I think
Speaker 6: it's very good close, I don't. I mean, you could
Speaker 6: again if I think Bridges Miles is a bit of
Speaker 6: offensive player.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bridge is Calma Miles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but Michale defensively, I mean, he's definitely going to
Speaker 6: finish in one of the old defensive teams. Yeah, no
Speaker 6: doubt about.
Speaker 3: That's why I actually don't think this is all this close.
Speaker 3: I mean, and when you say that, it sounds like
Speaker 3: you're really knocking Miles Bridges. But the truth is, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of guys can sort twenty points per game
Speaker 3: in this league, and mckailbridge has already proven that he's
Speaker 3: probably what easily top ten, maybe even top five defender
Speaker 3: in the league already.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but can he get can he get you? You convinced?
Speaker 3: My point is a lot more difficult to find a
Speaker 3: guy that can lock down elite scorers and contain them
Speaker 3: than it is to find a twenty point per game score.
Speaker 6: In this league, Right it is, I know, But I'm
Speaker 6: just I'm just saying, like the role that he has
Speaker 6: in Phoenix is there's there's less demand on him Miles
Speaker 6: has and Miles I think it's thriving in that role
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 3: In yeah, yeah, I know, that's what I mean. I
Speaker 3: don't want to, like, yeah, like push one down just
Speaker 3: to raise the other. But I think it's mckail Bridges.
Speaker 3: At this point of their careers, I.
Speaker 4: Don't think you're starting to tea with either of them.
Speaker 4: So it completely depends on what your team looks like.
Speaker 4: Miles is better for the Hornets because he needs to
Speaker 4: run the court and play in transition and finish plays
Speaker 4: at the rim alongside LaMelo, whereas the Suns need a
Speaker 4: wing defender. Seventy seven percent of Mikale bridges two pointers
Speaker 4: are assisted, ninety eight percent of his threes are assisted.
Speaker 4: Miles Bridges fifty eight percent of his two is eighty
Speaker 4: four percent of his threes. They ain't number one guys.
Speaker 4: Neither of them are creators. So you're talking about which
Speaker 4: is a better second guy to have here, and it depends.
Speaker 4: It just completely depends. So you know, the Sons wouldn't
Speaker 4: trade Mkale for Miles, and I don't think that the
Speaker 4: Hornets would trade Miles for McHale either. Okay, so both
Speaker 4: great bridges good bridges. What's your favorite bridge in the
Speaker 4: World The next one. I love the open road.
Speaker 3: That's nice.
Speaker 4: Actually, there's actually a bridge in Morris, Illinois that when
Speaker 4: I think of a bridge that's just a little bit
Speaker 4: too narrow, that's the bridge I think of.
Speaker 5: So I hate it.
Speaker 4: Actually it's a but it's a very notable bridge to me.
Speaker 4: I don't like it when it feels like your car is,
Speaker 4: you know, like a a centimeter from.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 4: Do you have a favorite bridge?
Speaker 5: Lloyd over Jeff.
Speaker 4: You're crazy, you're starting a movie.
Speaker 5: You're going with Lloyd or Jeff.
Speaker 4: Jeff? Yeah, Jeff all Banks. Do you have a favorite bridge?
Speaker 5: Not Todd, that's for sure. Anyways, you know, Michel is
Speaker 5: it's always a tough name for me because I see
Speaker 5: m I K A Ellen it's Michel. Don't like that. Also,
Speaker 5: Jamie spelled j A m I E. One of those Jamies.
Speaker 3: See to me, that's pretty What did you say.
Speaker 5: J A M I E. Thinking j A I M E.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a fifty to fifty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I grew up with a lot.
Speaker 7: Of j A M I the one that one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that looks more like Jamie. Anyway, next question.
Speaker 5: Recently I went to Knicks at Clippers and was surprised
Speaker 5: to learn Ryan Archie Diakono was on the Knicks. It's true,
Speaker 5: but I was even more surprised to learn his name
Speaker 5: is Ryan. I legit thought his name was Archie Diakono.
Speaker 5: So what's another example. It looks like he could be
Speaker 5: an Archie for sure. So what's another example of you
Speaker 5: being completely wrong about a player's name without realizing it.
Speaker 5: That's from James Beard, the Games Lead.
Speaker 6: So this is an athlete, not a basketball player. But
Speaker 6: around two thousand and seven, I became aware of two
Speaker 6: thousand and six, two thousand and seven of this very
Speaker 6: good runner coming out of Jamaica, and they said he's
Speaker 6: too tall for the one hundred meters. Two hundreds is
Speaker 6: his best event. And his name is Usain Bolt as
Speaker 6: in you know two o's Hussein Bolt. I tried to
Speaker 6: find documentary evidence last night on YouTube of someone calling
Speaker 6: hi Mussein. Couldn't find it. Couldn't find it, So I
Speaker 6: was calling him Usein when everyone else is calling him Musin.
Speaker 6: I said, Nope, his name is Usain. But now I've
Speaker 6: come to I've come around to admit his name is Usain.
Speaker 6: He calls him self. You say, so, I'm going with that.
Speaker 6: But for a while, I was like, it's Usain. People, Usain,
Speaker 6: I've heard it, I've heard it before. He was like,
Speaker 6: you know, smashing world records left and right. Turns out
Speaker 6: I can't find evidence to support my case, so I'm
Speaker 6: gonna have to I'm gonna have to step down and
Speaker 6: this one and say, all right, all right, if someone
Speaker 6: can find an Usain bolt out there somewhere, show it.
Speaker 3: To me, right right, Well, I guess my answer is
Speaker 3: similar to bring it back to the NBA world. I'm
Speaker 3: convinced it keeps flip flopping around here. But Nikola and
Speaker 3: Nikola there's two. Yeah, there's Vucevic, there's Jokich. I'm every
Speaker 3: couple of years, I'm confused which one it is or
Speaker 3: are they supposed to be the same. I've found a
Speaker 3: video where Vuchovich is saying we're both Nikola, but everybody
Speaker 3: was calling the joker Nikola, and it's like drives me insane.
Speaker 3: It's like, which one is it? And why isn't it
Speaker 3: the same one? Because they're telling us it is. But
Speaker 3: on now basketball reference Vuchovich as the pronunciation is Nicola,
Speaker 3: but I thought he was the Nicola crazy.
Speaker 5: I let that one go. It's true, it's change, it's
Speaker 5: foot flop.
Speaker 3: But and you hear a lot of people with the joker.
Speaker 4: They say Nicola, is it virtual us? Oh that's a
Speaker 4: whole other thing.
Speaker 3: But anyway, that drives me nuts, and so I just
Speaker 3: want to know which one it is and how is
Speaker 3: it not the same?
Speaker 4: But they say it is.
Speaker 3: There's literally documentation of them saying, yeah, it's the same.
Speaker 3: They ask joker, is it Nicola like Vucevic and he's
Speaker 3: like yeah. But then they're like, but people say Nicola.
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I don't care. And then he's like,
Speaker 3: you know, just how fast you say it and like
Speaker 3: stuff like that. He just doesn't care.
Speaker 4: I guess, But I think there's also I think you
Speaker 4: can find a paw Gasol video on YouTube where he's
Speaker 4: explaining like the three different pronunciations of his name standard English.
Speaker 4: I think he speaks Spanish and I think he speaks
Speaker 4: Catalan as well, and they're all just like just barely
Speaker 4: just barely inflections basically, like the difference between Nicola and Nicola.
Speaker 4: So it probably just comes down to English speak. He's
Speaker 4: not saying anything right for a long time, and then
Speaker 4: just being.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, so which one do you go with as
Speaker 3: a Bulls fan? For Vuccie baby? But what do you
Speaker 3: call him?
Speaker 4: I think I I just think I I tend to
Speaker 4: go with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in general, ye, but it's weird.
Speaker 5: It is so it's changed. You got any names that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been listening to the Up First podcast on
Speaker 4: NPR for years now and the host is named stevens
Speaker 4: Keep Stevens Is it Steve in Skeep or Stephen Skeep?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 5: I think?
Speaker 4: I think it's SP's Skeep. Yeah, but he says it
Speaker 4: so fast and I listened to it on one and
Speaker 4: a half speed. I'm like, steven Skeep just one long name.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's I have one more, but it's in
Speaker 3: regardless to spelling. I can't believe. I'll think we make
Speaker 3: a big a deal about this, as we should. In
Speaker 3: the league. Currently, there's a DeAndre Jordan where the A
Speaker 3: is capitalized in DeAndre. There's a DeAndre Ayton where the
Speaker 3: A is not capitalized in DeAndre. There's a DeAndre Bembri
Speaker 3: where there's uh an apostrophe on the A of his name,
Speaker 3: and then there's a DeAndre Hunter where the A is
Speaker 3: capitalized and there's an apostrophe between the.
Speaker 6: E and the A.
Speaker 3: Four different variations.
Speaker 6: Which one's your favorite without the apostrophe because I'd always
Speaker 6: get in the wrong spot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like the I actually like the DeAndre
Speaker 3: Jordan with the capital A on de Andre I always
Speaker 3: ate and always gets me. I'm always like, oh, that's
Speaker 3: capital Nope, it's not. Hey, I just want to note
Speaker 3: that as well.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 4: These things keep me up at night. Do you have
Speaker 4: an answer to the to.
Speaker 5: The question like with the Oh yeah, I always thought
Speaker 5: Emon Trumpert's name was pronounced Ama Schumpert. I think that's right.
Speaker 3: Next question, final one. Hey, no Dunks, all Hunks, Skeets,
Speaker 3: and Tasker obviously Raptors fans. I myself am a Rockets
Speaker 3: fan and an NBA sicco. I've always had certain teams
Speaker 3: and players as my second favorites behind my Houston Rockets.
Speaker 3: For example, the current Bulls, there you go, Trey and Hornets.
Speaker 3: This writer liked the Thunder when they had Katie and
Speaker 3: Westbrook and so on. I say all of this to
Speaker 3: say I've never been a Raptors fan, never necessarily cared
Speaker 3: about the team or the players, Actually, at one point
Speaker 3: I greatly disliked the Raptors and Kyle Lowry. He was
Speaker 3: a former Rocket played well off our bench, but I
Speaker 3: was salty as hell that he left us and became
Speaker 3: an All star with Toronto. But I've listened to y'all's
Speaker 3: show for so long and heard your Raptors analysis for
Speaker 3: years that I've now become a Raptors fan. I love
Speaker 3: their roster, their management, their jerseys, just everything. I want
Speaker 3: to go to Canada to see a game. I want
Speaker 3: Scotty Barnes to win Rookie of the Year. The question is,
Speaker 3: have you all ever disliked something but after being exposed
Speaker 3: to someone who loves it, makes you love it too?
Speaker 3: Each town, hold it down, turn up, love you guys.
Speaker 4: Awesome. It's from Ryan M. Thanks Ryan, Yeah, good email.
Speaker 5: One thing, Ryan. He didn't leave the Rockets. He was traded,
Speaker 5: you know, you know for a first round pick. They
Speaker 5: gave up. They thought, oh, this guy's too much.
Speaker 8: Of a problem.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a bit of a head case.
Speaker 5: Was the thanks trading story. First round pick Darryl Morey
Speaker 5: gave him up for if I do believe worked out well.
Speaker 5: Protective first round pick worked out pretty well for the reps, great.
Speaker 3: Deal, great trade. What's your answer to the to the question?
Speaker 4: I got two and they go kind of hand in
Speaker 4: hand country music and the outdoors for me, good answer, Yeah,
Speaker 4: very very much. Disliked him. Grew up having to go
Speaker 4: to like the Morton Arboretum and Lya, Illinois, go look
Speaker 4: at some trees sounded like the lamest thing of all
Speaker 4: time from ages, you know, up until I turned thirty. Basically,
Speaker 4: why would I want to go look at trees? Now
Speaker 4: I would love to go look at trees. And it's
Speaker 4: the same thing with country music. Like I grew up,
Speaker 4: my dad listened to country quite a bit, just thought
Speaker 4: it was old man music. Yeah, hated it, hated it.
Speaker 4: Dated a girl in college she listened to country music.
Speaker 4: Took me to a Tim McGraw concert once and it
Speaker 4: was actually kind of cool, but never stuck. And then
Speaker 4: and I started dating she was a country music fan
Speaker 4: as well, and she, you know, I fell in love
Speaker 4: with her, fell in love with the country music. What
Speaker 4: can I say? And I say, they go hand in
Speaker 4: hand because once we got down here to Atlanta, had
Speaker 4: to spend a lot more time outdoors. Because you got
Speaker 4: to down here, you got to get used to it.
Speaker 4: So country music, it just sounds good outdoors. I don't
Speaker 4: know why it's made for listening on the front porch
Speaker 4: the back porch. I think it's technically a deck that's
Speaker 4: in your back. That's something I learned from country music.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so yeah, country music for me, especially once
Speaker 4: I found out that, like, if you listen to country
Speaker 4: music from the nineteen seventies, it's like all about drugs
Speaker 4: and alcohol. So you're like, oh, this is like rap music.
Speaker 4: Yeah before rap music came.
Speaker 3: Out pretty well, Yeah, you think that's a great answer
Speaker 3: country music. I would echo that answer. I had Matt
Speaker 3: Austin sending me a Spotify playlist of like the country
Speaker 3: songs I should be listening to right now.
Speaker 6: Goth I mean he's a big Gothic.
Speaker 3: He didn't include any Garth on that. Yeah, but he
Speaker 3: is a big girl. I think he just goes see
Speaker 3: Garth or he's going.
Speaker 4: To see Goth. It's one or the other. Madeo.
Speaker 5: But what's your answer to just went, just went, Yeah,
Speaker 5: he got back on social media just to post a
Speaker 5: photo to see go.
Speaker 6: Okay, great cevice. Yeah, and seafood in sort of sushi
Speaker 6: in general. Yeah, my wife rock Sanna doesn't eat like
Speaker 6: meat and chicken and things like that, but she used
Speaker 6: to eat seafood and fish. I was never really a
Speaker 6: big seafood head. But man, you get some good savichi
Speaker 6: in Peru. In Lima.
Speaker 4: You've talked about this before.
Speaker 6: You know, two of the top five restaurants in the
Speaker 6: world are in Lima. Incredible both one yeah, next time.
Speaker 4: Not too bad, not too bad.
Speaker 6: No, you can't. It's one of those ones. It's like,
Speaker 6: you know, you've got a yeah book, months and months
Speaker 6: and months in advance. Yeah, and they close over Christmas
Speaker 6: one of them, which is like when we've been there, crazy,
Speaker 6: I know, cool.
Speaker 9: Cool.
Speaker 3: Do you have an answer for this?
Speaker 8: You know, not really, I'm still waiting to like something
Speaker 8: in general. A lot of good bridges in country music too.
Speaker 7: I'll just throw that s. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well what about basketball sports?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Football.
Speaker 8: I love watching NFL football when I'm surrounded by a
Speaker 8: bunch of people who are really into it, Like yeah,
Speaker 8: especially here in Atlanta, because people just go crazy for it.
Speaker 8: If you're in a bar the Falcons are losing, especially
Speaker 8: because everybody gets very upset.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 7: It's great, it's great.
Speaker 8: But basketball, for sure, I mean I had zero interest
Speaker 8: and well I didn't dislike it, I just had zero interest.
Speaker 3: You know, you're going to games, Dan, Well, yeah, that
Speaker 3: was that was.
Speaker 8: In the who cares phase of my basketball career. But
Speaker 8: hey man, thanks for a good story.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: There was that time that we came down for a
Speaker 5: Falcons game and the Panthers had an incredible comeback. You
Speaker 5: guys left, but we left then the quote unquote sports
Speaker 5: fans they left.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we were worried about like catching a flight or something, right,
Speaker 8: and Matt, Mattio and I were on the same flight
Speaker 8: as you, and we stayed till the end because it
Speaker 8: was that was one of the best sporting events I've
Speaker 8: ever been to.
Speaker 3: So the Falcons like march down the field and kicked
Speaker 3: a field.
Speaker 5: Goal r yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they won by like one pointer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7: It was amazing.
Speaker 8: Matt and I were just I had great seats from Turner.
Speaker 8: We were just hugging each other, just like just filling
Speaker 8: beer all over the place.
Speaker 5: Was like it was a one point.
Speaker 7: It might have been one.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. We were real rouge in the face for
Speaker 5: leaving that one.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think we.
Speaker 3: I think we found out about it on Marda too,
Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, Like while we were going back
Speaker 3: to the hotel to get other stuff, like what do
Speaker 3: we do?
Speaker 4: But at least we got to be at the airport,
Speaker 4: that's true.
Speaker 3: Do you have an answer for this, tess why?
Speaker 5: I guess?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: In sort of the same light that JD you know,
Speaker 5: accepts basketball, I accept and I like Survivor.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Nice.
Speaker 5: I am worried about this season already. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 5: mentioned it last week. I think there's not a the personalities.
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's enough. Anyways, I'm watching, I'm watching,
Speaker 5: but yeah, there's not not a lot of juice with
Speaker 5: these people. But I'll be listening.

Speaker 4: now now when they lose like theirs, their downforce to

Speaker 8: This time we're getting one tweet and a shout out
Speaker 8: to let me bring up his name, Alex Hayden.
Speaker 7: I hope I'm saying that right.
Speaker 8: He sent it in and I think this is actually
Speaker 8: a cold open submission, which it's a rejected cold open
Speaker 8: for right. And the reason is it's one of those
Speaker 8: memes where people someone is lip syncing, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean? Like those I like those, but I don't
Speaker 8: love them for cold opens. But this is Miles Turner,
Speaker 8: friend of the show.

Speaker 8: as the world's weirdest pissing contest we had.
Speaker 5: On the show.
Speaker 8: Ben Dolliver was showing up his his Lamborghini and then
Speaker 8: the Bugatti and then I believe this is the stup
Speaker 8: with I mean, those are amazing, and then of course
Speaker 8: Lee got in on it, and another Star Wars. I
Speaker 8: think this is a battle droid if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 8: Of course, Trey got in his Panos and then he
Speaker 8: had Lego Lebron and I had the Pirate chip from
Speaker 8: the so just great stuff and h yeah, maybe I
Speaker 8: should have used it as.
Speaker 3: A fine what are you gonna do that Titanic one?
Speaker 3: So it' said ten thousand pieces?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Holy, I guess when you're tanking you have a
Speaker 7: lot of time to.
Speaker 3: Put well yeah, yeah he's out right now too, isn't he. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So there you go, and you can afford it that stuff?
Speaker 3: What's that going for? What's a Titanic lego sector?
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh, that's very that seems steep.
Speaker 3: Titanic Titanic.
Speaker 4: Ten cents per brick, Will Lee is well.
Speaker 3: I mean according to Amazon, it's nine hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: dollars nine nine cents for the for the expert Titanic.
Speaker 4: It looks like it might be a little bit.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wow, I flew halfway across the world to see Legos.
Speaker 4: I would expect him to know his ricing. It's a
Speaker 4: Titanic float or is that the sort of thing where
Speaker 4: like it comes with a huge hole in the part
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Front got you gotta buy the iceberg. It's pretty boring
Speaker 3: to put together that one large triangle all white and
Speaker 3: blue blocks.
Speaker 4: How about the clip? Does anybody know what he was?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's d Drich Bader. You may remember him from
Speaker 8: the Drew Carey show Show Myself. Uh, it's from the
Speaker 8: movie Surfs Up and he plays a penguin and his
Speaker 8: character is showing off his surfing trophies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it sounded like a little bit to me.
Speaker 3: I was like, is that germane clements?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Had the his voice was somewhat similar.
Speaker 7: They actually looked sort of similar.
Speaker 3: If you the penguin.
Speaker 8: No Didrik Ddrich Beata and Jermaine Clement kind of looks similar.
Speaker 3: Okay, So anyway, yeah, how's how's the lego going in
Speaker 3: your house? Still still popping?
Speaker 6: Yeah, still clicking, far too much lego. But my nine
Speaker 6: year old built an eighteen year old plus thing. This
Speaker 6: this is Star Wars thing. It said, like expert level.
Speaker 6: He knocked it off in like about three hours.
Speaker 4: Like it's kids a genius.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I'm saying that that wasn't that
Speaker 6: was an expert level building there that would just follow
Speaker 6: the instructions like the rest of it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: So did a good job.
Speaker 3: So it's big, Like that's not that big.
Speaker 6: That's kind of small.
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, could you have done it?
Speaker 6: Though? Ah? Maybe in four or five hours.
Speaker 4: It's a lego.
Speaker 6: Lego is still popular, though very popular. Yes yes, yes, uh.
Speaker 4: Picking results.
Speaker 3: Last night it was the Pistons heat game Miami was
Speaker 3: favorite by thirteen and a half. This is brought to
Speaker 3: you by Bett MGM and Big Line. Some of us thought,
Speaker 3: that's all right, heat will cover that. No, no, Detroit
Speaker 3: strap you bunch. So a win for tasks proving to
Speaker 3: eat and three here in March.
Speaker 4: Nice stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm six and five, so I'm above five hundred and
Speaker 3: then Trey and Lee taking the l back in the heat.
Speaker 3: Lee you're four and seven. You're one game behind Trey
Speaker 3: who's five and six. So we got on a race here.
Speaker 3: Still task, there are a lot of games on tonight,
Speaker 3: So where are we going?
Speaker 5: A game that's essentially for home court in the play
Speaker 5: in tournament because nine to ten face off in the
Speaker 5: playing tournament. That's who's facing off today. The Atlanta Hawks
Speaker 5: visiting the Charlotte Hornets nine visiting ten, and Charlotte Hornets
Speaker 5: are a very very small favorite one and a half points.
Speaker 5: But the three of us ride in the road team
Speaker 5: and riding the dog riding our home team. The Atlanta
Speaker 5: Hawks skeats myself and Trey taking Atlanta plus one and
Speaker 5: a half. At Charlotte, Lee has taken the Horns.
Speaker 4: So hey, what did you do here?
Speaker 6: Did you?
Speaker 3: Because you saw the Atl's coming through on the slack
Speaker 3: this morning, and well, I'll be the one that takes you.
Speaker 6: Other Well, it depends on when it comes through and
Speaker 6: if you're dropping the kids off at school and we
Speaker 6: have to go through carpool this morning because it was raining,
Speaker 6: So you're getting last in the slack and you got
Speaker 6: not many choices.
Speaker 3: So you're actually dropping the kids off or were.
Speaker 4: You taking a dump?
Speaker 6: No, dropping the kids out there, that's cool, but anyway,
Speaker 6: it was a one and a half point line. I
Speaker 6: was like, you know what, the Hornet's desperate as well
Speaker 6: that I need ye have no problem with their offense
Speaker 6: whether or not this this one could be a big
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty to one hundred and thirty seven.
Speaker 3: Definitely it's in play. Yeah, all right, so uh, steaks
Speaker 3: are high in that Hawk's Hornets game tonight, not only
