55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: kingsy temmy gooda love this sink.

56
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: All right, but.

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Let's let's get into last night in the NBA Spurs

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Rockets double overtime thriller. This one had at all. You

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: had a huge San Antonio Spurs rally, you had another

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: fifty point game from Harden, you had Lonnie Walker's hair

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: and production at career high levels, and you had the

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: dunk that wasn't the phantom dunk Harden breakaway dunk with

63
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: about seven fifty to go in the game. It would

64
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: have given the Rockets a one o four to eighty

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: nine lead. The ball goes in the net, it whips

66
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: through the net and then back over the rim before

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: bouncing off, and the officiating crew mistakenly ruled that Harden

68
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: missed the dunk, and then they denied d'An toni's attempt

69
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: to challenge the call. Very very weird, weird that that

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: play happened, that they didn't look at it, that they

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: didn't realize it went through the rim, And then even

72
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: crazier when you consider that the Rockets end up blowing

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a thirteen point lead and losing the game in double overtime.

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: So here's the fallout from this, Tim McMahon telling everyone

75
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: that the Rockets are hopeful the league office will either

76
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: award the victory to Houston due to the Rockets outscoring

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the Spurs in regulation, or order the final seven minutes

78
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: and fifty seconds to be replayed at a later date.

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: What a mess here, But what does everybody think? I mean,

80
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: how will the NBA go about fixing this?

81
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 5: If at all I don't think they can fix it.

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: I don't think either of those scenarios you just said.

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: They're not going to give the Rockets to No, you

84
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: can take.

85
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: That one off the table.

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: And whether they replay the last seven minutes or whatever

87
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 5: it was. I also I don't think they're going to

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 5: do that. I think the NBA is probably going to

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: turn up to this and say a monumental era, no doubt,

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: but bad luck.

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's unfortunate. It's unfortunate Tim mcmon is even reporting

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 6: this because this rocket source that just puts out there

93
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 6: that they could potentially replay this game. There's no chance

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 6: they replayed this game. There's no chance they give them

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: a win. When does that happen? Why would they do that?

96
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 6: They missed the play, It happens in the NBA. It's

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 6: a dumb maneuver by the refs, or you know, a

98
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 6: dumb mistake that happens. I guess they don't want to

99
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 6: watch James hard as much of the rest of us.

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 6: They just, you know, they just saw the ball go

101
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: through and didn't watch it whatsoever. They were just kind

102
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 6: of looking to get to the next play. They made

103
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 6: a mistake and that's it. That's what happened. There's nothing,

104
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 6: nothing is going to change. I think they should replay it.

105
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: They don't play again in San Antonio until April twelfth,

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, almost the last game of the season.

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: But how can they not replay it. This doesn't make

108
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: sense to me.

109
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: The Rockets, you can't say they would have a win,

110
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: so they're not going to get the win. But you know,

111
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: they had more points in regulation. They definitely did. They

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: have to replay it. Two thousand and eight, I think

113
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: was the last time a game was replayed.

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hawkshit Meat.

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Shack got sat down mistakenly for a foul, so

116
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: they said was fouled out fifty seconds left.

117
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, the Hawks go on to the Hawks win.

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 3: I don't know whatever.

119
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you right now. It was two thousand

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: and eight. Yeah, they had to replay the final fifty

121
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: one point nine seconds of that game because the official

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: score ruled incorrectly that Shack had fouled out in overtime.

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: The Hawks won the first game, if you want to

124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: call that one, to seventeen one eleven on December nineteenth.

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: But when they redid those fifty two seconds let's say

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: in March the Hawks still won one, it was reset

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: to one fourteen, one eleven. Nobody scored, Yeah, during the final.

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: Fins and Jack had already been traded away from the Heat.

129
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very very strange that one. But yeah,

130
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: it didn't change anything. But it's I guess, look, that's

131
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: fifty two seconds compared to this, which is a good

132
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: chunk of the game. I mean eight minutes to go

133
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: left in this one.

134
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: It's very embarrassing for the league because why they didn't

135
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: review it.

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: That that's the crazy part. We've got this whole new

137
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: thing where we can go look at everything now, and

138
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: this is the mess that comes from it.

139
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 5: And if you have a situation that's where it clear

140
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: the Bowl winning, but the referees you didn't get it right,

141
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 5: just say okay, we have to check something out here

142
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 5: we have I think people would prefer that than this.

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: My well, the explanation was so dumb as well. They're like,

144
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: well there's a thirty second window. But the Rockets were

145
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: complaining the whole time that it should be reviewed.

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: What and then like what I believe D'Antoni was saying,

147
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: and Austin Rivers lot review it straight away.

148
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, D'Antoni said he was initially told the hard and

149
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: dunk hit the rim and was offensive goaltending. He said

150
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: he challenged that and was told no, it was not goaltending,

151
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: but it went out off of harden, so he challenged that,

152
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: and like basically the officials just told D'Antoni that he

153
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: could not challenge at some point.

154
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: That's what he said, But according to the referees, they said,

155
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 6: it's a reviewable matter, but you have a window of

156
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 6: thirty seconds to challenge the play, which he obviously didn't

157
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: do it within it which was is a strangeral number one.

158
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 6: But it's kind of an understandable First of all, coach

159
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 6: is challenge is done after the season. Oh, it's over,

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 6: it's done. Because they have these little, these little tiny

161
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 6: rules within the rule, which sort of makes sense. You

162
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 6: can call time out and then you can challenge within

163
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 6: thirty seconds, which again I think there's some logic to

164
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: it because you can call time out and then we

165
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 6: go to commercial because we're going to commercial. Then what

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 6: you look at replaced for two and a half minutes,

167
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 6: and then you say, you know what kind of challenge that?

168
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 6: So then we're sitting there watching another five minutes of

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 6: a review. So that's why they implemented this thirty second.

170
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 6: But when does this thirty second start when D'Antoni calls

171
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 6: time out? Is there a clock that somebody hits? No

172
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 6: chance that just it doesn't work like that. So that's

173
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 6: why they have to They just got to eliminate.

174
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: This because again Philadelphia and who they played them not

175
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: before there was a challenge in that call, but it

176
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: came like basically once the play had stopped, not immediately

177
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 5: on a Joel andbiid feul. So based on that, surely

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: D'Antoni was in the window.

179
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: This window talk that this is ridiculous. I think they're

180
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: just trying to come up with anything to save their

181
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: ass and they're like, you know, we really blew this.

182
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 6: And now this window. Yeah, this window thing is the

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: second time it's happened. With the Doc River situation where

184
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 6: he called time out, nostin Nervers was trying to tee

185
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 6: him up.

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: We have we have officials that are always looking at

187
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: hey was that a three pointer or a two pointer?

188
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Game continues, game continues, we find out sometimes minutes later,

189
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: we might go to a commercial break and come back

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: and like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they looked at that.

191
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: That's that was actually he was on the line. It's

192
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: a two not a three. Well, I mean, so yeah,

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: why couldn't they have just done that in this game?

194
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 6: Like, I mean, okay, that's done in New York Fun reviews.

195
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't care where it's done. Look at it and

196
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: go that was a basket and when. So if it

197
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: takes you a minute or two of game time, let's

198
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: say they didn't count it right there, everybody's upset, Just

199
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: go okay, let's keep playing. They're gonna look at it.

200
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. They come back two minutes later and they, oh, yeah,

201
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: that was that was in Like what why is that

202
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: a problem? Why can they do that?

203
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 6: Right?

204
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's dumb.

205
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean we can review everything from every game.

206
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything should be except for for some reason, a

207
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: made shot on a breakaway the probably the easy call

208
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: you could have.

209
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: I guess this is why we named our show No Dunks,

210
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: Lay it In.

211
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.

212
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 6: So, just not part of the parameters of what you

213
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 6: can challenge.

214
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, right, there's no rules for it, because you

215
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: shouldn't have to review a made shot that went in

216
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: a dunk.

217
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 6: You shouldn't have to review that James Harden screwed it

218
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: up by running after the ball because he didn't know

219
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 6: he dunked it. He didn't know it went through if

220
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 6: he just played it cool.

221
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: Two seconds, Yeah, foolish.

222
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: So you think tacitly, you think, no way, what we

223
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: play the final seven to fifty of this the Rockets. Look, hey,

224
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: you were still up thirteen, your two stars go two

225
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: to twelve down the stretch. You you end up blowing it,

226
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: whether you got jobbed of two points.

227
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: There or not.

228
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's just the way it is. Like a bad

229
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: call and move on.

230
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: I think there's there's always bad calls. There's always sort

231
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 5: of calls at one team if they lose. I feel, hey,

232
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: that was the wrong call. But that's part of the game.

233
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's different than the charge block call. Yeah,

234
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: this is a basket that went in. That's not a call.

235
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean it is.

236
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: It's all in the sense that they.

237
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: It's like a home run right where it's like did

238
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: it hit on the top of the wall or you know,

239
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: just below it. Let's look okay.

240
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: I mean if they replay it though in San Antonio

241
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 5: going to win again, then what was the point? You know,

242
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: it's sort of they have to warm it's just then

243
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 5: if they're gonna if they want to replay it, just

244
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: say okay, then Houston, you just get the win. Then

245
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 5: it make it even worse.

246
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 6: According to the league, it is a reviewable matter, but

247
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 6: you only have the window of thirty seconds. It's so

248
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 6: so weird.

249
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm you're right, this is gone. The coaches challenged, Bye,

250
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: we tried it. It's a mess. It's making everything worse.

251
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: The only thing I honestly care about getting right in

252
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: a close game situation is when a ball goes up,

253
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: looks like it goes off three guys like who hit

254
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: that last? Whose ball should it be?

255
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: What about a foot on the liner? You gotta care

256
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: about that one too.

257
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah. And those are for the most part,

258
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: those are pretty easy to figure out.

259
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: And if you step out of bounds, if a guy

260
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 4: makes it dunk, these are easy call to make.

261
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: Worldwide Bob had it on Twitter. Within ten seconds. Go

262
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: on Twitter. Go on Twitter, refresh it. It's what are

263
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: you doing?

264
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: Take out of the review said it just checked worldwide

265
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 5: Web Twitter.

266
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: You'll get you'll get a you'll get an answer.

267
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 5: You'll get the right answer too.

268
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: Oh it's uh yeah, that was that was surreal and

269
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: it's it is amazing. If they do replay this, I

270
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: saw a Zilla write this. It would if they replay it,

271
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: it would basically nullify Lonnie Walker's breakout performance. He scored

272
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: twenty three of his twenty eight points after this botched dunk,

273
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: phantom dunk, whatever you want.

274
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 5: To call it.

275
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: And so this like, if they replay, that's gonna benefit

276
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: the Rockets, of course. I mean they're the ones up

277
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: huge and oh yeah, you get another chance at you know,

278
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: slowing Lonnie Walker the fourth or Forbes or whoever went

279
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: off there for this purse.

280
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, who knows, Maybe Drozen's traded by the time, by

281
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: the time they play this game in April, and you know,

282
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: they're running a Nikola Vucevich or something out there, who

283
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: knows what it is. But the Western Conference standings are

284
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 4: going to be tight. Houston is going to be in

285
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: the next for homecore advantage in the first round. One

286
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 4: win could mean a lot to both the Rockets and

287
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: to the Spurs. So I mean, maybe they just sweep

288
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: it under the rug and hope we forget about it

289
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: and eventually, uh.

290
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: It just passes by. I suppose that could happen.

291
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: But this just seems crazy that a made shot happened,

292
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: it had an effect on the game, and they're just

293
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,479
Speaker 4: gonna be like, well, sorry, we played eighteen minutes afterwards.

294
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do?

295
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the with the two overtimes, You're right, there.

296
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 4: Was a lot of basketball playing, Like Rosa was like

297
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: getting crushed out there.

298
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: Like I was like on the floor all the time.

299
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 5: That either of them played today. So if I want

300
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 5: to replay it, just they're both in Texas just going

301
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 5: out there, just you know what, go ahead to like

302
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 5: that Copac was something to play it out there, that'd

303
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 5: be fun.

304
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: That's like a big difference.

305
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: You're right.

306
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about that trade. Like the eight incident

307
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: was shock incorrectly fouling out. I was like the Hawks

308
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: in the heat were both sort of garbage team. It

309
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: was like they weren't great. It didn't really matter at all.

310
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: They still redid it.

311
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: Now.

312
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because it's only fifty seconds, it's like less

313
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: of an ordeal whatever, But this could mean something. This

314
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: this win for the Spurs getting in the playoffs, keeping

315
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: their streak alive. For the Rockets fallen anywhere from whatever,

316
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: like in the standings. This could be a difference between two, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,

317
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: whatever seed. You don't know. Uh so you think they're

318
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna redo to be incredible? Oh, I hope they do.

319
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: At this point, it's gonna be important.

320
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: It just seems important to me that this is such

321
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: a clearly missed call and you're obsessed with reviews and

322
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: replays and challenges, and it's gonna matter for the entirety

323
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: of the playoffs and the entirety of the regular season.

324
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: I just don't see how you just let it slide by.

325
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, it's it's an interesting point because it

326
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: could have such a dramatic impact, and the coal.

327
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: The weird part is the weird part is I hate

328
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: to go back to it. The Rockets were still up thirteen.

329
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean they had a melt down and the Spurs

330
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: caught fire and again, like Walker was amazing. Does that

331
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: come into play with the NBA's decision. It might a

332
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: little bit. It might it wasn't a tie game, you know, or.

333
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: Maybe if they count the dunk.

334
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: Greg Popa is like, oh, we got to call a

335
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: time out and relax, we got to pull these guys,

336
00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: we're down fifteen.

337
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, that's maybe that's his line. I don't know.

338
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just unfortunate the NBA, you know, had this

339
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 6: as a trial period in the in the G League

340
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 6: had this rule of coaches challenge as a trial period.

341
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: But they came into the year even still treading lightly

342
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 6: about it. Joe Bores are consistently saying, you know, this

343
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 6: is a trial period even in the NBA, that we're

344
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 6: not going to get everything right from the get go.

345
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 6: But god, we've just spoken about the reviewing calls for

346
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 6: fifteen minutes. They're just they just have to get rid

347
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 6: of it. Just see you later, goodbye.

348
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Harden makes that dunk, they count it. Who's to say

349
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: this person don't go on still win in regulation for

350
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: crying out?

351
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: Uh, exactly right, exactly right. Maybe they're inspired he dunk

352
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: d'Os like that?

353
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: How dare you weird? Weird stuff? Let's hear from you, guys.

354
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: We really should get the poll up. Should they replay

355
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: seven fifty?

356
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 5: Uh?

357
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: And we'll maybe check into that later in the show,

358
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: or we'll least get it up and talk about it.

359
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure when the NBA makes a decision, they're gonna

360
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: have to come out and say, well, we're not doing anything,

361
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: or the Rockets, hey, you win, that's not gonna happen,

362
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: or we're redoing this and here's what we're doing it.

363
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about this a little bit more. I'm sure,

364
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's keep it moving here though. Lakers one

365
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: oh five Nuggets ninety six. Flu like symptoms for a

366
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: lot of the Lakers roster, including Anthony Davis. He took

367
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: an iv not a Lonnie Walker ivy at halftime and

368
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: then scored thirteen of his twenty five in the third quarter.

369
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: As a Lakers got that well bounce back win after

370
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: the loss Lebron and eighty huge rebounding was huge. Nuggets

371
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: made it close, the Nuggets classic get back into the game.

372
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: It's right there, but just enough from the Lakers to

373
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: get the win. Would you guys think of this one

374
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: or eighty battling through the flu like symptoms. This was

375
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: his Jordan flu.

376
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 5: Game a Tuesday night in December. Yeah, yeah, it's Jordan Like.

377
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: I mean, you know what, when you're sick and then

378
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 5: you go into that altitude, I'm not surprised he was

379
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: a little under the weather. So the IVY fluids helped.

380
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 5: He's got to get the ginger into him. Look ut

381
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 5: the ginger gold here this morning.

382
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a couple of fluids besides you.

383
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, champagne for the immune system. I like to call it. Okay, Yeah, No,

384
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: good performance again from the Lakers. Their defense once again fantastic.

385
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 5: But again I'm sort of going to turn a little

386
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: bit here to Nicola Jokicic and just like just and

387
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 5: just another performance where it looked like he was just

388
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 5: it was like a practice run for most of the game.

389
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: I thought he had three shot attempts in the first half.

390
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that. What's going on exactly? What is

391
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 5: going on with him as an All NBA talent?

392
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's just like yeah, sort of plodding through

393
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: games at times, at times.

394
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 5: A lot of the time. And it's interested if he

395
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 5: was putting up the sort of numbers in the performance

396
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 5: that you had last season, you would sort of shrug

397
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: off the fact that he doesn't look great. But that

398
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 5: now that he also doesn't look great, it's like you, okay,

399
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: you know, they have to get into the game or

400
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 5: get into shape. You can't be both. You can't be

401
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 5: out of shape and out of the game.

402
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: Honestly, I mean it's it looks into one of them.

403
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 5: You've got to be into one of them. Pick one,

404
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: pick one, because he can be a effective without being,

405
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 5: you know, a really caught guy out there. He's not

406
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 5: gonna be the guy who goes and hits the gym

407
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 5: and comes out ripped with biceps because last season he

408
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: was fantastic.

409
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, can we I mean, at this point, can we

410
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: drop the like, yeah, how big he looks or how

411
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: uncut he looked? Like, he looks the exact same what

412
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: he was.

413
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: I don't think he does look I think he looks worse.

414
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: I think I think he looks worse because his shoulders

415
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: are sort of slumping and a lot.

416
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, it's his shoulders. Yeah, he's

417
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 4: got a care it's the main thing. It's like, that's

418
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis did have a great game, but it was

419
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 4: because the Lakers just kept putting Yokic into pick and

420
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: roll and it was Jokic, Jokic and whoever the small

421
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: guard was. We're trying to handle Lebron and a d

422
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 4: Lebron and Dwight Howard and whatever it was. If Yokic

423
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: would step up, it was a lot because nobody's gonna

424
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: be able to jump with Ady or Dwight, or it

425
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: was just Lebron getting into the rim.

426
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 5: It was.

427
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: It was bad, And I mean, if you're a Nuggets fan,

428
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 4: you have to be. It must be such a strange

429
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 4: season to see them sitting at thirteen and five with

430
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 4: Jokic just not into it yet, and you know, the team,

431
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 4: I don't think it's played great, but still thirteen and

432
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: five is a solid record so far. But I would

433
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 4: just be nervous seeing how easy.

434
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 3: It was for the Lakers and pick and roll last night.

435
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the Nuggets at some point the schedule

436
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: is going to catch up to them. I think they're

437
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 6: gonna slide a little bit. I think they've gotten They've

438
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: gotten off with some really really close wins, and I

439
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 6: think they should be worried about dropping into the bottom

440
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: half of the bracket at some point. They're thirteen to

441
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 6: five and everything looks okay, but a lot of close

442
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 6: wins and a home heavy schedule at this point.

443
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

444
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they head out on the road now, right for

445
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: a little four game road trip. I don't think, well, no,

446
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: some salt. I guess they got the Knicks but Celtics,

447
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: Nets and Sixers, I mean three of those teams not

448
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: easy outs.

449
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it'll be tough and more a little bit

450
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 6: later in January and February, where they have real home

451
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 6: road heavy schedules, I should say, and March I should

452
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 6: say as well. I mean, it's gonna get ugly. I

453
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 6: think if they're playing like this, you know, they had

454
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 6: great contributions from a lot of guys and they're still good,

455
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 6: very very good. But the West is is not going away,

456
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 6: and so I think they could slip.

457
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: And what's your take on Jokic then, task, I mean,

458
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: the guy's averaging fifteen points per game, shooting forty five percent.

459
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: Obviously not great for a guy like him. Can't hit

460
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: a three to save his life.

461
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 5: I don't know.

462
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 6: I don't know. Maybe the last couple of years were

463
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 6: his peak.

464
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: Is that crazy?

465
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: My goodness, a little bit. He's twenty four, yeah.

466
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 5: Not even twenty five.

467
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

468
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: It's strange. It's strange to watch him. That's you, man,

469
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: You're like, dude, you we were considering you one of

470
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: the best players in the league. One of the best

471
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: players in the league. Does not just take three shots

472
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: and like sort of mope around out there. That's not

473
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: you're You're immediately removed from that list. Yeah, I'm sorry,

474
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: it's true. And I love the guy. He's one of

475
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: the when he's when he's obviously engaged, he's one of

476
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: the funnest watches in the league. He must watch league

477
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: past material. But you can't be considered one of the

478
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: best players in the league when you again, when you

479
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: just had even if you're missing shots, you gotta be involved.

480
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that question better. And if I'm marking my line,

481
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 5: be just pulling my hair out right now. Because good point.

482
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 5: But just because when you have a star with so

483
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: much talent who's just going at fifty percent, I mean,

484
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter how good a coach you are, it

485
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 5: doesn't matter what your schemes are and what your game

486
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 5: plans are. If your guys are just going to be

487
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: kind of half into it, there's not much you can do.

488
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 5: And you mentioned, you know, they have eleven They have

489
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 5: had eleven home games so far. That is their huge

490
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 5: advantage right there, and they're eight and three. It's fine,

491
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 5: you know, it's not too bad, but that's what they

492
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 5: have a more more of a home court advantage than

493
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 5: anyone else in the league because of the altitude the

494
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 5: Lakers came in, they were all sick, and they would

495
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: you would think, though, you know, Lebron said, I think

496
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 5: Danny Green had it, an a lot of them had it,

497
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 5: and it's like that's a great opportunity to catch the Lakers,

498
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: and they didn't. I thought Dwight Howard last night came

499
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 5: off the bench and was so involved and so engaged

500
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: in his short time. Imagine Nikola Jokich was half of

501
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 5: what Dwight was last night. Then I think the Nuggats

502
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 5: win that game. But yeah, there's a content. I mean,

503
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 5: certainly there's no Inny to panic just yet. There's still

504
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: plenty of on from Turner Rant and we have seen

505
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: this before from Yokic, but it's it's becoming a little

506
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 5: more common than certainly that would lock it to beay,

507
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure.

508
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 6: The Lakers are a terrible matchup for them. Lakers, I'm

509
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 6: sure would be so confident if they met them in

510
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 6: the postseason. They've got no bigs that can deal with

511
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 6: ad or Lebron. They really don't know. They were doing

512
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 6: what they want. And it was cool to watch Anthony

513
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 6: Davis play defense. I do like watching him as a

514
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: now one of those thin dudes, even though he's not

515
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 6: really thin, but he's a long he. I guess he

516
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 6: looks thin beside Nikola Yoki. But he's getting the narrative

517
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 6: for defensive Player of the Year already. Oh yeah, the

518
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 6: story is starting. You need the narrative, and it's happening

519
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 6: with him.

520
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: Oh.

521
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: Lebron started that in the preseason, right, it was all

522
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: over that. It's fun to watch. I know you don't

523
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: like it, Lee, but Rondo, Rondo, when he's like got

524
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: the pick and roll game going with those bigs, you know,

525
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: either a little pocket pass between people or throwing the lobs.

526
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: It's that part's fun to watch.

527
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: List. It must be fun to play, no doubt, my dad,

528
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 5: he was playing smart basketball last night. You know. My

529
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 5: my issues with him more about when he plays selfishly.

530
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 5: But last night he was really playing his role well

531
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: and exposing the Nuggets.

532
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: From three as well.

533
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: So far this season, Lee no better than le Ellis

534
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: take four all right, Mavericks one eighteen, Pelicans at ninety seven.

535
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll mark it down for me. December fourth,

536
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: the day I've officially run out of adjectives to describe

537
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Luka Doncic. He scored fifteen of his thirty three points

538
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. He grabbed eighteen rebounds in twenty

539
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: eight minutes to help the Master to this big victory.

540
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: I know there's some Zion Williamson news we can talk

541
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: about with the Pelicans, but it's Luca's just again just

542
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: sort of took over the game and Mavericks cruise to

543
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: a victory.

544
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 5: I just want one quote out of this. It came

545
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: from coach Rick Carlo. I didn't rebounds is a lot.

546
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: That's a lot of rebounds for a point. God, he

547
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 5: started the game listed as small forward.

548
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: He's a point He's a point guard. That's why he's

549
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: going to be starting as a guard in the All

550
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: Star Yes, that's right.

551
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 6: Dot COM's got him as a g good.

552
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: That's all it matters. I guess when it comes to

553
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: the All starboting, maybe Porzing has had another stinker though

554
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: he's over his last three games, he's averaging eight points

555
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: per game, shooting twenty three percent from the floor. But

556
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: because the way lucas playing, because the way the bench

557
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: is contributing, guys like Tim Hardaway Junior and Delon Wright

558
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: and these guys hitting shots. Mavericks have won all three

559
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: of these games with KP being rough. They won in Phoenix,

560
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: they won in l A versus Lakers, and now they

561
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: won last night in New Orleans. So it's not like

562
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: hasn't really become that big a deal because still again wins,

563
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: and the guy has the coming off of injury and

564
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: all that. Still, but just.

565
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 6: Get the ball out of his hands. I mean, I

566
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 6: know coaches don't want to use a playoff type defense

567
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 6: in the regular season. I'm sure Alvin Gentry knows a

568
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 6: heck of a lot more about defense than I do.

569
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 6: But Luca was just getting the ball off the defensive

570
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 6: rim those eighteen boards, just grabbing it and then running

571
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 6: a play, and he's unstoppable.

572
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean again, you want anyone else to beat on

573
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: the match, So yeah, that's what you're saying.

574
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, why the heck not? Why not take that chance?

575
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 6: Luca literally could do whatever he wants out there. There's

576
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 6: twenty eight minutes but magic out there for that guy

577
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 6: thirty three and eighteen. I don't take a chance with

578
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 6: somebody else. Like, as you said, Kristaps didn't have a

579
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 6: great night. Tim Hardaway, Yeah, he hit five shots, Dory

580
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 6: Finney Smith hit three shots, Doi Palell hit three shots,

581
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 6: but just forced them to win.

582
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: Right the Mavericks. They won just nine road games all

583
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: last season. They're eight and two already away from Dallas

584
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: this year. It's a great start. Andrew Lopez of ESPN

585
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: reports that Zion Williamson is partaking in light walkthroughs with

586
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: the Pelicans.

587
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 5: I would like to take because I.

588
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: Believe we've reached the six week mark since his surgery,

589
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: and that was the initial like it's going to be like,

590
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, we'll readdress this in the six to eight weeks,

591
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: So this is why we're probably getting this update. But

592
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: on Monday, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said the team will

593
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: be overly cautious with Zion's return. When are we gonna

594
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: Why are we gonna see him? Are we gonna see

595
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: him before Christmas? I mean that's sort of what we

596
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: were thinking of that time. Do we still believe that?

597
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 5: What would you do?

598
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: You don't think so?

599
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 5: I think he's behind schedule. It sounds yeah, they said.

600
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Also, Lopez in that article said, in order for him

601
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: to return to action, the team wants Williamson to reach

602
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: certain metrics and benchmarks. In his conditioning metrics. I read metrics,

603
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: I immediately my mind goes to, wait, probably I could

604
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: be wrong, but you know, you got to sort of

605
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: suspect it's something like that. And or just in terms

606
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: of his yeah, his conditioning, in terms of his his

607
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: VO two.

608
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: Max stuff like that is down in back. So maybe

609
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to ramp it up from the light walkthrough.

610
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: I suppose that's just a tiptoe yeah, going through practice.

611
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: Can he even walk lights?

612
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: Exactly right? That was seems that have been the problem.

613
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: Hopefully when he comes back, he's got his gate all

614
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 4: straightened out. That VO two max just pomping.

615
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 5: I wonder if this will be a bit like a

616
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 5: Ben Simmons where I didn't rule him out for the season.

617
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 5: It was sort of a little bit long, a little

618
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 5: bit longer, and then they get to a rim sort

619
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: of February March, and they're like, there's no point.

620
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: They string you along a little while and then you're like,

621
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: all right, he's not playing at all.

622
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: I just think we would be more likely to see

623
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: him if the Pelicans were playing a little bit better

624
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 4: and they were a little bit more in the playoff mix.

625
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: They got six wins. Now the eighth seed has nine wins,

626
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 4: so I mean they're sort of on the periphery, but

627
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: the pels haven't been super inspiring, and if they were

628
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 4: really in the mix for the playoffs, maybe we would

629
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: see him before Christmas. But now it's like, yeah, just

630
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: take it day, just take your time. We don't want

631
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 4: you to get hurt for the rest of your career.

632
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 4: You got a long time ahead of you, so take it,

633
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: take it easy, buddy.

634
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 6: What do you think it's asks, Well, I don't think

635
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 6: the metrics have anything to do with weight, because they're

636
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 6: just trying not to talk about Zion Williamson's weight whatsoever.

637
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 6: And I do believe David Griffin was quoted saying even

638
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 6: if he was zero percent body fat, that he would

639
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: be two sixty five or something something of that nature.

640
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: So they don't want anybody just talking about his weights

641
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 6: because there's no way he's going to be light. There's

642
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 6: no way he's going to be this. So it's it

643
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 6: probably has something to do with not being fat, No,

644
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 6: I mean, it probably has to do with something with yeah,

645
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 6: getting that Covo two levels up, start running, man, start

646
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 6: running before Christmas?

647
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: Or do you think we don't see him at all. Like,

648
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you had to pick me one between

649
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: one of the two, that's that's wow.

650
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 6: I'd say no, yeah, just waited.

651
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: You also do start to wonder at at some point

652
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: if they're like, well, it'd be pretty cool for Zion

653
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: Willamson to win Rookie of the Year too, and it's like,

654
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's still there for the taking. Honestly,

655
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: you could win it this year. You could come back

656
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: and just dominate, and you're like, okay, yeah, he's he's

657
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: working the year. But if you get too if you're

658
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: starting to get into January February and then like it's

659
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: like not a ton of games left, you're like, let's

660
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: do the old Blake Griffin thing or let's do the

661
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: old Ben Simmons thing. It's like, yeah, just come back

662
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: next year and win.

663
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 5: It Rookie next year.

664
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's possible. I hope, I really I hope. You see,

665
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: Hi might be a nice little especially like in the

666
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, would be awesome in that little

667
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: boost for Christmas, because he's got.

668
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: The is are they on Christmas? The play Denver?

669
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: So you'll either you'll either have Zion or pouty Niko

670
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 4: le Joki Christmas Morning's hope we got game.

671
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Sorry, guys, Let's hope we get back all right? One

672
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: more here. Heat won twenty one, Raptors one ten. This

673
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: one was an overtime game. Jimmy Butler triple double as

674
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: the Heat spoiled Kyle Lowry's return to Toronto's lineup by

675
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: getting that overtime victory. Butler was huge in the extra frame,

676
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: scored eight consecutive points in fifty five seconds to start overtime,

677
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: and you know the Heat had recovered there because they

678
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: had blown a seven point lead in the final two

679
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: minutes of the fourth quarter. Norm Powell was catching fire

680
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: talking about stepping on the line. They have got away

681
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: with one there. Let's uh, it looked like Norm Mays

682
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: stepped on the line when he hit one of those

683
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: corner threes, but they didn't have the greatest camera angles

684
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: to actually really zoom in and see if he did,

685
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: so they had to count it, but didn't really matter

686
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: because Butler was pretty special in the overtime period and

687
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I didn't think the Raps had really a

688
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: right to even go to overtime, let alone win this game.

689
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: That Heat played better and Lowry stunk in his return.

690
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: He was horrible. He missed his first eleven shots, including

691
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: seven from three point range. He was over eleven from

692
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: from deeps. That's bad. And he's like, look, it's my

693
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: first game back, don't worry. It's not gonna be like

694
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: this every game. And he's coming back from the fracture thumb.

695
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, the Heat, this is a quality win.

696
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: They've won in Milwaukee with though Jimmy Butler. They went

697
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: in Toronto without Gorny Druggis, who had been balling out

698
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: for them. You know, are the Heat do you consider

699
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: the Heat a legit East contender? Are they up there

700
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: with the Bucks and the Sixers and probably the Raptors

701
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: maybe the Celtics, Like do you have them in that

702
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: group or are they still like a tier below?

703
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 4: To me, the contender in the Eastern Conference is the Bucks.

704
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 4: That's it, the contender. But after that, maybe you would

705
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 4: have the Heat in the in the next tier with

706
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 4: the Sixers, the Raptors and uh, the Sixers, the Raptors

707
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 4: in the Heat, I think those are and the Celtics. Yeah,

708
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: can you rely on all these guys who have been

709
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: balling so far come playoff time, Duncan Robinson never played

710
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Bam Adebayo's got a handful of games

711
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 4: in the playoffs two years ago. Kendrick Nunn, He's a rookie,

712
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 4: Justice Winslow. He was great against the Raps last night.

713
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: Make him plays off the dribble, but who knows how

714
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: he holds up in a playoff as a main guy

715
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: in a playoff series. I love Butler. I love Jimmy Butler.

716
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 4: If they were playing the Raptors, I would maybe take

717
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 4: him because that guy loves playing. I think I went too,

718
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: but I don't know. I mean, Butler's great, and he's

719
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 4: done a great job of really letting everybody else do

720
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: stuff for the first three quarters, knowing that come fourth quarter,

721
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 4: I'm getting that big piece of the pie. You guys

722
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: can have whatever you want. When you get full, I'll

723
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: finish it. And that's exactly what happened last night. He

724
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: has been He's done a great job of being the

725
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: number one guy with just while also letting everybody else flourish.

726
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: So come playoff time, is.

727
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: He's still able to do that to take that back

728
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: seat for the first three quarters.

729
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

730
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting question, but so far, he clearly

731
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 5: has put his ego to the side and he's leading

732
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 5: as the sort of player that we thought he could

733
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: have been in Chicago when he was coming up through

734
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 5: the ranks, but then he turned into a bit of

735
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 5: a jerk. But he hasn't been that guy at all

736
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: so far. And in overtime when he hit those eight

737
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 5: points in the fifty seconds and he was celebrated with it,

738
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: oh yeah, oh yeah. Like he's fun to watch. He's fun,

739
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 5: he's engaging, and you sort of see him really relishing

740
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: that challenge that they basically blew the game, got a

741
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 5: second chance and he was like, all right, I'm not

742
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: blowing this one again, and he took that out. I mean,

743
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 5: there were still four minutes ago, but you sort of

744
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: felt like that they heat at home now because of Jimmy,

745
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: So he's great. Are they content It's a great question

746
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: because it feels like there's still one player short of

747
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 5: being a real content even though you know that they

748
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 5: did beat Milwaukee in Morgan that was, you know, second

749
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 5: game of the season, So I just feel they're missing something.

750
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 5: Exactly what it is, I'm not sure, because I think

751
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 5: they've got good balance, they've got good depth, they get good,

752
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: good contribution from their bench. What is it they're missing?

753
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 5: It's hard to say because Jimmy it feels like, is

754
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: that star and if all these other guys just sort

755
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 5: of play off him and around him, he can maybe

756
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 5: lead them somewhere. But it just it just feels like

757
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 5: they're not going yet, not yet, not yet. I mean

758
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 5: the Raptors you talked about there with Carle Larry was

759
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 5: he was awful last night, no doubt. It was almost

760
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 5: like to me, Larry was like, the guys didn't really

761
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 5: miss me when I was out. I'm going to show

762
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 5: them how good are you? I mean, that's what I

763
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: felt like. He was rushing, he was a little bit hesitant,

764
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 5: and then when he had an open three late he

765
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 5: passed course of turnover and well, yeah, because.

766
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: He had just missed exactly the nine of them, I

767
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: think that was getting it a little bit. He's got

768
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: a couple in his defense like do the old Like yeah.

769
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 5: For sure, for sure. But but sometimes you know, when

770
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 5: a guy's out, it's like, oh, we really really missed him,

771
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 5: need him back. The Raptors didn't. I mean, that's not

772
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 5: not in any way to say that he doesn't he

773
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: won't be better once he's had a few games under

774
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 5: his belt. But I just felt that he was almost

775
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 5: trying to show, hey, I'm still pretty good, guys, and

776
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 5: it just didn't work for him last night.

777
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 6: He was awesome in the last six minutes of regulation

778
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 6: though he was assisting, getting everybody involved. He did have

779
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 6: eleven helpers. He was doing everything. He just couldn't shoot. Yeah,

780
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 6: it was a bad night for him. But that being said,

781
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 6: I would still take the Raptors over the Heat. Why.

782
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'll tell you what. When

783
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: we were talking with Dave DeFore yesterday about the Raptor

784
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: and having no Kauhai, can they sort of replicate what

785
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: they did in the playoffs last year? Can can Pascal

786
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: do what Kawhi did?

787
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 5: Uh?

788
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought this was a good example of maybe

789
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: not not getting your hopes too high for that to happen.

790
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: I love Pascal's I want to make that very clear,

791
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: but uh, bam Adebayo did an awesome job on him

792
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: last night. You saw Jonathan Isaac a couple of nights

793
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: before with the Magic did a great job of bottling

794
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: him up. I know he had a huge game in

795
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: between there, but that you know who you need a basket.

796
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: It's it's a little just different. It's different when it's

797
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: Kauai to to a Siakam. There's a there's a level

798
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: there of how they go about getting their shots and

799
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, and I think rap Stands were upset with

800
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: the no call. There was was driving that one, and

801
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: there was contact and he initiated some of it and

802
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: obviously he got hit and bump, but then no whistle.

803
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: But that's gonna happen in the playoffs because guess what,

804
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: That's happened time and time and time again with the

805
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: Marta rozen. So we'll see. But I think it would

806
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: be a very I don't know who I would pick

807
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: tasks if it like today, if they played the best

808
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: of seven series, it would be probably go to seven games.

809
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty convinced about that. It'd be a dogfight

810
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: between these two teams.

811
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 5: And the last time they went to the playss went

812
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 5: seven didn't.

813
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think it wouldn't just be on Siakam shoulders.

814
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 6: You know, you got a confident Freddy, a confident Kyle

815
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 6: back there to help him out. But I understand Pascal

816
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 6: up against bam Adebayo last night. That was the interesting part.

817
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 6: Pascal looked like he was going up against Joel and

818
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 6: beat in the playoffs last year, where he was just

819
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 6: coming up short. I think he had three air balls,

820
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: which was weird, like on floaters. Yeah, he's not a

821
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 6: fat Jokic right now. He was just missing. This guy

822
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 6: has a great touch, but it just looked like he

823
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 6: wasn't the same player at all. So that's that's what

824
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 6: I think would make the heat A contenders. Bam Adebaio

825
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 6: playing awesome on both ends, so he is there. Yeah,

826
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 6: he is probably their most important player, even though Jimmy

827
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 6: Butler's their best player. Bam Adebaio does more on offense

828
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 6: and defense. He's he's asked to do a lot and

829
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 6: he's awesome at it so far. I mean, he looks

830
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 6: like a guy that should have been starting. Uh like it,

831
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 6: like Jokic. When Nurkic was traded, Jokich went into the

832
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 6: starting role and flourished. Pam Outebaio. Yeah, man, he he

833
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 6: freaked the heck out of Pascal Siakam last night. Yeah.

834
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: He's special. He's honestly something. He's a fun watch and

835
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: he's just getting better and better. You've seen it from

836
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: game to game with him. All right, we got some

837

00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: has started flexing and the injury ravaged Warriors are getting squeezed.

855
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: The NBA announced last night switches for December thirteenth and

856
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: eighteenth games on ESPN, both removing Golden State. So the

857
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: NBA's listening to what task Melis is talking about here?

858
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: Sorry you up or down on them? Silver, The NBA

859
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: listening to task flexing, getting ready here to flex sort

860
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: of the upcoming schedule tasks.

861
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 6: You must be up get rid of the Warriors. That's smart,

862
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 6: he get rid of the Warriors on national TV games.

863
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 6: People just aren't caring about rag of season games. And

864
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 6: unfortunately they point to games like that where they are

865
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 6: the loan game that's on. What the heck am I

866
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 6: going to watch? I gotta watch? What do you watch?

867
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 5: Lee?

868
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 6: What do you where? What do you? I guess you're

869
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 6: watching the Voice Voice Slash Shark Tank. Well, there's no

870
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 6: way you're watching Warriors over a Shark Tank.

871
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 5: Now it's allowed me to catch up with Cobra Kai

872
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 5: season two. Actually yeah, Epic Stop season three starts.

873
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 6: Basically, Warriors games are getting flexed for Cobra Kai and said,

874
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 6: that's that's sad. Nobody cares about those late games. So yeah,

875
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 6: it has to be done, and it has I think

876
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 6: it could be done pretty regularly. Yeah, I understand fans

877
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 6: may have tickets that say, hey, it's eight o'clock eastern.

878
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 6: Gosh darn it, it's moved to seven o'clock eastern. Oh, well,

879
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 6: that's the way it goes. I think I think you

880
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 6: gotta do it. I think it's more important to get

881
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 6: those TV viewers to deem these things appointment viewing rather

882
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 6: than heck, I can just watch Corbrika and I don't care.

883
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 5: It's good season two I imagine though. Honestly the NBA,

884
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 5: the only issue is whether or not the TV companies

885
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 5: are able to change them so quickly or you know,

886
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 5: with a couple of days notice if necessary.

887
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that you mean the actual broadcast.

888
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, the proxy.

889
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: And all the crew and everybody. Yeah, can we get Hey,

890
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: we were going to Golden State, but now we're going.

891
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 5: Here exactly because because you can't imagine that like the NBA,

892
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 5: I'm sure, and looking through the schedule right now, go okay,

893
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 5: we've got to get rid of that that trying to

894
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: or arrange it so there's enough time. We want that

895
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 5: exactly whichever way you want to look at it, so

896
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 5: that you're not having to move obviously games from different days,

897
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 5: but certainly you want to get rid of the teams

898
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 5: that people don't want to watch and get more Luka Doncic.

899
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's right. I think, you know,

900
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: in a perfect world. Sure, Oh wow, we have a

901
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: huge Clippers game on Thursday night, two nights prior. Wow,

902
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George ran into each other and

903
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: they both broke their legs. I don't know if I

904
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: want to watch the Clippers anymore. Like, you're not gonna

905
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: be able to turn it around that quick where you

906
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: can flex it that quick because of all these legs

907
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: logistics that has to go into it. But yeah, these

908
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: these weeks out totally doable. Yeah, totally totally doable, and

909
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: more people are going to be interested in seeing a

910
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: healthy Clippers team than obviously this year.

911
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: Like the Warriors, get bolder, flex as hard as you can.

912
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 4: I love seeing that photoshop of Adam Silver on a

913
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 4: jacked body flexing hard. So yeah, get the Warriors off

914
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 4: of Christmas Day. We got enough time. Send the team

915
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 4: somewhere else.

916
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Hey.

917
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 3: Maybe we can replay at the Houston San Antonio. Get

918
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: the Warriors out of here.

919
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: Fly san Antonio in play seven to fifty, Fly him out.

920
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: Nobody needs to see that much anyways, it's Christmas.

921
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea.

922
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 6: I understand that ESPN wants to produce their own games,

923
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 6: and so yeah, you got to get a truck from

924
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 6: Cleveland or wherever instead of from La or whatever. But

925
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 6: you can also just have games like last night, you know,

926
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 6: Joel Myers was doing the Pelicans broadcast, then moved over

927
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 6: to the ESPN broadcast because they just needed somebody. Just

928
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 6: put the games on NBA TV. More people have NBA

929
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 6: TV than these regional sports networks. That's a somewhat of

930
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 6: a solution as well. Doesn't have to necessarily be on ESPN.

931
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 6: And when you put on NBA TV, the local guys

932
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 6: can still do the call fair call.

933
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: Next one, King's owner, Vivid Goana DV is an ideas man.

934
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: He once contemplated playing four on five defense to have

935
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: a cherry picker on offense. Remember that, Yeah, very very bold,

936
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: And now he's tackling free throws. According to s I S.

937
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard, Vivick's proposed solution for the King's free throw

938
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: shooting woes. Was to install a hoop outside the locker room.

939
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: This way, during games, players could run back and practice

940
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: their free throws, their foul shots. Lee are you up

941
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: or down? On Vivick's idea here which got shot down

942
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: by the way to put that hoop outside the King's

943
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 1: locker room to practice free throws.

944
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 5: I read that he was shut down because they didn't

945
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 5: like the optics of it.

946
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of reasons. It's pretty funny. So

947
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: they installed the goal. They put it up. It was

948
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: right there, to the right of the locker room. But

949
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: people around Vivic said they dissuaded him, citing potential rules

950
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: issues because players usually leave the bench only to go

951
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: to the bathroom, right, messaging issues. Players maybe would be insulted, yes,

952
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: and it could scare away free agents and the general

953
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: optics which are not good according to this article.

954
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 5: There's one other issue. If I was ever in Sacramento

955
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 5: and I was walking past their dressing room and there's

956
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 5: a ball, I'm shooting free throws, no doubt, no doubt

957
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 5: until someone says, hey, that's not for you. I'm just shooting.

958
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 5: So I'm sure other people thought the same thing. But yeah,

959
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: it's it's definitely. I think you don't want to say

960
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 5: to a player, hey, go and practice your throws, man,

961
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 5: like during a game. I mean it does, it's sort

962
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 5: of it is almost humiliating for a player to be like,

963
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 5: you're so bad, man, just go on practice. Yeah.

964
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 1: I also don't think that's how it sort of works.

965
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: It's like, if you're just bad enough that you've got

966
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: to be practicing free throws. I don't think sprinting to

967
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: the back locker room, getting a couple of shots up there,

968
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: and then sprinting back out. I don't know, while there's

969
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: like a timeout or something, or they're replaying something, and

970
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: then step into line and then you're more likely to

971
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: knock them down. I don't think that's how it's gonna work.

972
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 4: I really don't very weird to think of a player

973
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 4: getting fouled knowing they're going to the line, they.

974
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 3: Just go back.

975
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 4: Exactly, Oh a little burble's and I just run back.

976
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 4: But I also don't see, Well, first of all, it's

977
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: not a big deal having a basketball hoop where nobody sees.

978
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 4: I don't think that's going to be the reason that

979
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 4: teams aren't signing with the Kings. But why can't they

980
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: just have one back there that it's like halftime.

981
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: You can shoot around on it.

982
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 4: I know you could go shoot around in the in

983
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 4: the arena, but there's enough space to have a basketball

984
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,240
Speaker 4: who back there just shooting around. I don't think players

985
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 4: are going to be running back and forth during the game,

986
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: but at halftime, you know, just get some shots up.

987
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 6: But we talk about guys getting in a rhythm at

988
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 6: the line. Oh, the first one doesn't go down, their

989
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 6: second one's going to go down. If a guy's just

990
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 6: continuously shot at the line, they would start, they would

991
00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 6: get into a rhythm.

992
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but come on, you think, I think it's so different,

993
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: like for you're like, first off, it's just a completely

994
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: different basket. You're moving like you're obviously from one location

995
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: to the other. I mean, even when you shoot free

996
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: throws and somebody's like rebounding for you. You know, I'll try

997
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: and throw you off by throwing the ball to the

998
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: right a little bit, so you've got to step away.

999
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: That gets a guy out of his rhythm.

1000
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 5: Brownies tries. Brownies always gets me, that's right, all right, Yeah, yeah,

1001
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 5: but that's the thing. If you're shooting just in a

1002
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 5: sort of dock and or you know, off court area.

1003
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 6: They have lights. They have lights.

1004
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then when you go after the colt with the.

1005
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Fans and it's totally it is a environment. Yeah, it's different.

1006
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is true, but I think

1007
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 4: that they have batting cages like in the in the

1008
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 4: arena for or a stadium, I guess for a baseball team.

1009
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 4: So it's like if a player is not batting for

1010
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 4: eight straight, guys they can go and take some cuts,

1011
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 4: you know, while they're waiting their turn. That's why I

1012
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 4: don't think it's a big deal. Like maybe if you're

1013
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: sitting on the bench, your guys back there warming up, getting.

1014
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: It keeps you warm.

1015
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 3: It's deck circle.

1016
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the idea of going back and forth during files,

1017
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 4: that's ridiculous about it.

1018
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: Why not warm up?

1019
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 4: There are hoops back there, there's a backup hoop back there,

1020
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 4: just sitting on the ground in every single arena in

1021
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 4: case shat comes and tears down the.

1022
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: Hoop that they're on the exercise box at the back.

1023
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes it's true, So I give them the ball while

1024
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 5: they're in the exercise bock and practice your free throws

1025
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 5: at the same time.

1026
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 6: Why not was it run a part of Rana DVa's

1027
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 6: idea to practice free throws between free throws, like you

1028
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 6: shoot your first and then you go practice and then

1029
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 6: that would be tough. Yeah, it would suck. It would

1030
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 6: suck for the person who would have to go run

1031
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 6: and get that person too, Like who would do that,

1032
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 6: Like Stanley Johnson on the Raptors, you know, like a

1033
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 6: guy who's like fourteenth on the bench.

1034
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 5: Free throw is tight long enough imagined. It was like,

1035
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 5: you shoot one.

1036
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: If it works something out here, all right, final one guys.

1037
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: During an episode of the All the Smoke podcasts with

1038
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes, sweet Lotu Williams recalled the

1039
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: time when Barnes, Iverson and some other veteran sixers coaxed

1040
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: the then nineteen year old into drinking a six pack

1041
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: of beer on a short bus ride. Quote. We made

1042
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: a bet that he had to drink a six pack,

1043
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: Barnes said in the interview. Lou didn't drink at the time,

1044
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: he was fresh out of high school. But it was

1045
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: for fifteen thousand dollars. He did do it. As the

1046
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: story goes, it's a very funny clip. Go check it out.

1047
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: The whole small podcast is jad. I hope you're listening.

1048
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: I know you're a big Map Barnes fan. This is

1049
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: a hilarious podcast.

1050
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not listening.

1051
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: I haven't listened to it yet.

1052
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: But this is what you want.

1053
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,479
Speaker 1: This is the content that we want.

1054
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 3: The inside this should be called inside the NBA.

1055
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 5: It's already taken.

1056
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's You're not wrong, But are you guys up

1057
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: or down on chugging a six pack for fifteen grand

1058
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: short bus ride?

1059
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 3: Would you do it?

1060
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: Le's questions for you.

1061
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 5: I didn't know if I could chug a whole six pack?

1062
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Did he have to chug it? Drink I'm saying, I'm

1063
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: saying chug in the idea that, yeah, drink it quickly.

1064
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 3: So ugg say it's a short one.

1065
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they say it's short, Yeah.

1066
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: It was before. I mean I think less than that.

1067
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: In my head. I think shorts twenty minutes, honestly, like minutes. Yeah,

1068
00:46:58,600 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: it's a lot of.

1069
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 5: Beer in it. Won every three minutes. Six bees sound

1070
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 5: like a pick. I guess when you're nineteen. He was

1071
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 5: nineteen nineteen.

1072
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, never drank either.

1073
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 4: And imagine Lou Williams at nineteen. He must have waited

1074
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars.

1075
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1076
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,479
Speaker 4: I love the way they describe him afterwards, are like, yeah,

1077
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 4: we were a little worried.

1078
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,720

1164
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 6: Smart doubtful for the Celtics. That's going to play into

1165
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 6: my my decision here. They are six and a half

1166
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 6: point favorites at home against those Heat that are coming

1167
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 6: off of back to back against the Toronto Raptors in

1168
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 6: overtime and extra five minutes. It's a well rested Celtics team.

1169
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: And you got customs to go through. What time did

1170

Speaker 1: Where's everybody going?

1172
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 5: Lee?

Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Heat, you know, back to back.

1182
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 5: That's tough.

1183
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: But but Jimmy Butler's waking up at three in the

1184
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: morning to practice anyway, probably didn't go to sleep, Probably

1185
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: got everybody up at that time. So this is the

1186
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: way they're wired. Man, back to back that's on an issue,

00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:42,840
