95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: little weird because since like you guys do the social clips,

96
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: they look the same as ours. So I always feel

97

Speaker 6: All right, A perfect episode for me for sure.

105
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: Let's break down.

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Let's start John and Tyler, y'all want to start in

107
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: the west of the East.

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 7: Let's start in the west, all right.

109
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler thinks that thunder coming out the west. I did,

110
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: look bro okay, okay, for.

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 7: I do look.

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, for one, I think that shay Is is

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: going to assert himself as a top three player in

114
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: the league this season.

115
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 7: I think he's probably gonna win MVP.

116
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: He's a thirty point per game First team All Defense,

117
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: my first team All NBA guy, and his defense has

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: been getting better and better year by year.

119
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna be an.

120
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: All Defense guy this year, a thirty point per game

121
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: first team All NBA All Defense guy on a team

122
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: that I think is going to make a go at

123
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: like sixty two to sixty three wins because they're they're

124
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: they're right in that sweet spot where there's still a young,

125
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: hungry team who hasn't figured out the whole pacing of

126
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: a championship season, right.

127
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 7: So they're going to be, you know, going hard every night.

128
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: And the picks up the pickups of Carusoe and Hartenstein,

129
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: you know, a great perimeter defender and Caruso, you know,

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: a first team second team All Defense guy there Hartenstein,

131
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: who's a great post defender. Guy who's gonna do the

132
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: dirty work and and and get rebounds and and and

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: defend the rim. He's not gonna take any touches away

134
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: from chet or or Shay or Jayden. I think they

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: had the best off season of picking up those two guys.

136
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I think SGA is gonna take a leap, and I

137
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: think that OKAYC is coming out the West.

138
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: Bro, I think I feel like SGA. I don't want

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: to say Joker didn't deserve the MVP, because you can't

140
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: see somebody with numbers like that, as good as he

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: is say doesn't deserve it. But I felt like SGA

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: was MVP last year, you know what I mean? And

143
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: I feel like that's gonna fire his ass up. Can

144
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: you see can you imagine what those summer workouts were like?

145
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: You feel me Chet's gonna take a leap to this

146
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: is second year playing, you know what I'm saying, Like, dude,

147
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: I feel like they're gonna They're gonna, they're gonna be solid. Yeah,

148
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know, come out the West. I

149
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, they gotta get through those Timberwood.

150
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: They are the favorites, I would add, Yeah, they are

151
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: the betting fits. So I mean, I was going to Tyler,

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 3: but it's not like he's out of left field. They

153
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: are the favorites to come out of the West, and

154
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: they were obviously the one seed last year.

155
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, but I feel like,

156
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, those those We'll see what happens with the

157
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: timber Wolves. You see how if they can make that

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: the new pickups Mesch. But yeah, I mean, I mean,

159
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: what everything that Tyler said I agree with.

160
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: I agree with everything he said about SGA. My question is,

161
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: is this is Chet Holmgren. To me, that's quite a

162
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: jump for him to be the second best player on

163
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: a team in the NBA Finals, Like, and I mean,

164
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: I've got I have respect for chess game, but that's it.

165
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: That's a.

166
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: Until you see those things happen.

167
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: That's where to me, I'm always like, I'm not gonna

168
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: believe it's happening until I see that it's happening. And

169
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: you know, we said the same shit about the Nuggets

170
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: several years in a row, and we're correct several years

171
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: in a row until we were very much not correct.

172
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: So I'm you know, I'm prepared to eat shit on

173
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: that about the Thunder. But that's my question is it's

174
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: like a lot of guys are taking jumps. But to

175
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: Tyler's point, the way that the current NBA is situated,

176
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: the Caruso Hartenstein's signings are the signings that are swinging

177
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: NBA titles at this point, So I think that's a

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: good point as well.

179
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, what about Chet making a leap

180
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: are you skeptical about We saw how seamlessly he came in.

181
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: I think that year that he had where he was

182
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: sidelined his his his you know, real first year, I

183
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: think that was so beneficial towards him because you saw

184
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: when he stepped out there that that Oksey was not

185
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: just twddling their thumbs and sitting on their hands.

186
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 7: With this dude.

187
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: You can tell that he was in practices, he was

188
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: in film sessions. He came in and he played seamlessly.

189
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: His his rookie year, he was second and in total

190
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: blocks behind Weinby. You know, like, Bro, I'm high on Chet.

191
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: I know you don't really fuck with him, but Chet's

192
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: one of those guys who can be all defense all

193
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: NBA too.

194
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: Bro.

195
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 7: There's only a handful of dudes in the league like

196
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 7: that too.

197
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: Man, he he could.

198
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: I think when you when you talk about like the

199
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: model that you're describing to me for the case for

200
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: them winning the championship, it's not It's not the Nuggets

201
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: built around Joker. It's probably more like the Bucks built

202
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: around Yiannis. In terms of the importance you're expecting as

203
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: to have. You if you're expecting him to be a

204
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: top three guy who takes him to an NBA Finals,

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: right until you win.

206
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: Do you ty you think they're gonna win it all

207
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: or you think they're gonna come out the worst.

208
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 7: I'm probably still going with Boston winning it all again.

209
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But but ultimately it's the same question to me.

210
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: I think the question for me on Chet is literally

211
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 3: just seeing him, Like, I'm just not going to assume

212
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: that someone is going to be ready to be the

213
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton to a year. I'm not going to assume

214
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: that until you until you see what that looks like.

215
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: And so yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, you for

216
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: sure got to take your lumps in regards to figuring

217
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: out how to be a great playoff performer, for sure. Right,

218
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: but I think Chet's for sure gonna take a regular

219
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: season league. Yeah, no question.

220
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: Oh you know, I'm not taling.

221
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be I would not be surprised at all

222
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: if they're the one seed. I'm just talking about the

223
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: gap between being the one seed a team that is

224
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: well constructed to win in the regular season, and knowing

225
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: that you have playoff performers that three rounds deep into

226
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs, with everyone locked in on your ship, you

227
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: still know what you're getting to, You still know where

228
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: your points are coming from, and there's a consistency there,

229
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: so you know that. To me, I think people are

230
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: assuming a big jump of chet I guess would be.

231
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: My my only feeling.

232
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: It's not just Chetty that it's Jalen Williams too, who

233
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are assuming a big

234
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: jump from.

235
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 6: I like the Thunder.

236
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 5: I think that the best team right now constructed, but

237
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 5: they're also the youngest team, so it's a weird. It's

238
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 5: what you're saying, Mike. It's like you trust these guys

239
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: to actually go through a whole playoffs and actually win

240
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 5: the Western Conference. Like, for instance, I have more trust

241
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: than the Nuggets in the playoffs for if they played

242
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 5: right now, I think I would take the Nuggets just

243
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: based off the fact that I know what I'm getting

244
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: from the Nuggets right But that's what the whole season's for.

245
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: I'm excited to see what Hartenstein looks like. I'm excited

246
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 5: to what Caruisa looks like. They shoot the three really well,

247
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: even though against the Mavericks last year when they lost,

248
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 5: they didn't shoot the three well, so that's something that

249
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 5: they kind of have to fix as well, and then

250
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 5: the trade deadline comes, so you never know what's gonna

251
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: happen there. But they're definitely the best and most talented

252
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: team to start right now in the world with depth

253
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: for sure, and.

254
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, legitimate depth too. Yeah, I think the depth helps,

255
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: but I think the way SGA plays take a lot

256
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: of pressure off the you know, the other players, you

257
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, kind of like how Joker plays,

258
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: where I don't you know.

259
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't think that's true in the playoffs, So I mean,

260
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: and I think that's exactly what I'm saying, Like I

261
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: agree with you about the regular season, but I think

262
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: that's the point when it's like when you when you're

263
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 3: you're going up against the Nuggets and Mike Malone's going, well,

264
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: this motherfucker's not gonna average forty five a game against us,

265
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: Like that's the question mark that I've got, you know

266
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: what I mean, because it Yeah, I don't know, I

267
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 3: don't dis What I love about the pre about going

268
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: into the season is I buy all these arguments, like,

269
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I can see we're

270
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: old enough now we've seen the arguments were making be

271
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: correct in all directions. So yeah, uh, y'all have the

272
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: Nuggets too, I assume or if it or you would

273
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: say if it's or the Wolves. If it's not the Okay,

274
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: let me ask you both this question. If it's not

275
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: the Thunder in the finals out of the West, who

276
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: is it?

277
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm I'm I'm not as high on

278
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: the Nuggets as everyone else is. I feel like the

279
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the glaring hole that we saw in them last postseason

280
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: was they missed bench players like Bruce Brown right like,

281
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: like that was a glaring weakness, and then they lost

282
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: KCP this off season.

283
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 7: I was like, did y'all not learn anything from losing Bruce?

284
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

285
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think they're a better team

286
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: soften out KCP and Russ at this stage in both

287
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: those guys career.

288
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 7: I don't know.

289
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: I still think Joker is the best player in the

290
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: world for sure, But I don't know, Bro, I'm not.

291
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm not high on the Nuggets as everyone else's. I

292
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: think the Nuggets can get knocked off. I think they're

293
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: they're I think this is the most beatable we've seen

294
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: them since their championship window has been open.

295
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: Also, KCP defensively. You know what I'm saying, Like that's

296
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: a that's a big hole, you know. I mean, he

297
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: was a really solid, dependable guard defender. We've talked about

298
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: this for years. It's so difficult to find good guard

299
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: defenders and he could show up give you twenty in

300
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: the game, you know what I'm saying, when you needed it,

301
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: Like I just I just feel like you, Like you

302
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: said what they lost with Bruce Brown. They just repeated

303
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: that they got worse when they lost Bruce Brown and

304
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: get worse again when they lose KCP. Don't sew they're

305
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: gonna beat this, you know, perform better in the in

306
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: the playoffs, you know what I'm saying. With the worst team,

307
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So this doesn't make as

308
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: much sense. So for y'all, it would.

309
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: Be the Wolves, the MAVs.

310
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: Who do you? Who do you?

311
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: Who do you think is? I mean, if it's like

312
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: I said, if it's not the thunder, who do you

313
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: think it would be?

314
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 7: I don't know that.

315
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: There's like there's so much parody in the league that

316
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: I can't I can't tell you who I think is

317
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: some of the knockoff foo until I see the brackets set,

318
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: I feel, you know what I mean, Like it's all

319
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: about matchups really, Like I wouldn't be surprised if the

320
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: MAVs going another finals run.

321
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be surprised. I'm not banking on it, but bro.

322
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: Like like, okay, it's it's it's the MAVs, the Nuggets, Okay, see,

323
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: anyone besides those three coming out would be a surprise.

324
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 7: Okay, what do you think?

325
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, you Nuggets? So you you you'd be surprised if

326
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: the timber Wolves made it out.

327
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that losing Cat is gonna hurt

328
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: them for sure.

329
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: For sure take a big step. I feel like he

330
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: learned a lot from that series with the masch you

331
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.

332
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 7: I think and SGA that's I think that's gonna be

333
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 7: the MVP race this season.

334
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, definitely, Like you're the big step, right,

335
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's like this, it's a

336
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: it's a lot of well constructed teams banking on a

337
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: big step for a young, superstar caliber player. So like,

338
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: that's that to me is exciting when you talk about

339
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, there was this weird feature on ESPN yesterday

340
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: with with Steph where they're talking about this incredible Olympic

341
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: run these dudes have. And then you have these all

342
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: time greats who are still in the league. They're still

343
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: kind of the faces of the league. But they're all

344
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: on like six through ten seeds, you know what I mean.

345
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: None of them are like, we're not gonna see a

346
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: finals matchup between you know, Steph Curry and something like.

347
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: So it is the door is open.

348
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: Obviously the Celtics are standing in the it's standing right

349
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: in the middle of the doorway.

350
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean that's that's it's on an bro.

351
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 3: And you know then I you see ants out here

352
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: saying if I win a couple of chips, I'm gonna

353
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: go play football, Like what the fuck?

354
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just a silly billy dug and silly

355
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: billy himself.

356
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 7: There's no way.

357
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you said, you said he's not well said.

358
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 6: He's not playing football basketball.

359
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: To He's just talking ship bro, you know what I mean,

360
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: Like that's just what he does. But just how do

361
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: you feel about him? But the timber Wolves.

362
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: I like the timber Wolves.

363
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: I think getting Julius Randall allows him to play faster

364
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 5: and kind of gives you another option to give the like,

365
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 5: you can give the balls Julius.

366
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 6: And have him create, whether it's good or bad.

367
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes oh see, he's you know, on a

368
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: control like he's just a oh see all star, you

369
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

370
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 5: It's one of those dudes where it's like, but he's

371
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: also said, you know what I'm saying, he's also second

372
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 5: team though he's also second team NBA and the US.

373
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 5: The problem they ran to the Mats last year was

374
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 5: they didn't have anybody outside of it. They can give

375
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 5: the ball to and create, and Julius can do that

376
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 5: for better for worse. You know, there has good moments,

377
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: he has bad moments. But I think they play faster

378
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: because he can handle the ball. On the break you

379
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: get Dante, Evincenzo or Shooter who they desperately need.

380
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 6: I think I think this can be really good for timber.

381
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 5: Wolves, if I'm being honest. I like the video for them.

382
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: A lot of people don't, but I do like video

383
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: for them a lot. I think people forget how good

384
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: Jullius Randal will sometimes I'm an.

385
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: Is so good, but yeah, but y Cat is so good.

386
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: Bee at that lemon booty. You know what I'm saying,

387
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And moments w we need

388
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: a cat, you know, or they need a cat. You

389
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It was like, because we're all

390
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: rooted for them, when we need a cat, it just

391
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: wasn't he you know, he just wasn't there. You feel me,

392
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't see Dante And you know what I'm saying,

393
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Randall not producing in the ways that in those big moments,

394
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Yeah, Dante fucking bro Dante's

395
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: like you know that Robert or effect. I'm like, you

396
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, I'll give you a good fourteen

397
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: a game, eleven a game. You feel me when it's

398
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: playoff time, Nigga dropping my nuts, get out the fucking wave,

399
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: you know. You know, you know what I'm saying, The

400
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: Cape come on, you know. So, I mean, I feel

401
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: like they'll be solid in those moments. I feel like

402
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: they'll be solid in those moments. And I feel like

403
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Nuggets where they struggle this

404
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: guard defense, you know what I'm saying, Like they you know,

405
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: and and they got it worse with KCP. You feel

406
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: me so.

407
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: Well, And that's another team they just paid Aaron Gordon.

408
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: They're betting on a big step, They're betting on Peyton Watson,

409
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: they're betting on Aaron Gordon's defense. They're betting on guys

410
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 3: replacing players. And you know last year they bet on

411
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: guys who did not replace the players that they lost, right,

412
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean, so that like that's the that's that's the

413
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: the what the fun of the season is is finding

414
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: out how that works out. And I am glad that

415
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: we have the in season tournament. You know, I enjoyed

416
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: that last year. I'm glad we have this year because

417
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: because of exactly what we're talking about. When you when

418
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 3: you're an older basketball fan like we are, and you're

419
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: talking about basketball with your other older friends, this is

420
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: inevitably what happens, which is are you asking me about

421
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: the season or about the season season? Because the playoffs

422
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 3: and the regular season are so different from each other,

423
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: so that it you know, like like we've talked about,

424
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: it's like you sort of need some of those signposts

425
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: of Christmas Day games, the midseason tournament to the n

426
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 3: season tournament to give you some you know, some some

427
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: spice and not just going like you said with Dante

428
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 3: or Robert or like, well, this dude is not even him.

429
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: He's in a cocoon right now, like right, right right,

430
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: you won't see the real him. You know what I'm saying,

431
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: till the end of the season, g hick till it

432
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 2: would matters, you feel me.

433
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: So so I'm not hearing a lot of optimism about

434
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 3: the MAVs.

435
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: Am I right about that?

436
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: I think I think Clay is going to be serviceable.

437
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a move that really you know,

438
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: shook up the NBA when they signed him. But you know,

439
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: we saw in the finals how wide open looks. You know,

440
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: if they just had some players knocking those shits down,

441
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: it's just probably a whole different series. But I mean,

442
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: when you got Luca, who at times looks like the

443
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: best player in the world, you got Kyrie, you know,

444
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: like the most talented UH back court in the league.

445
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, Scots and Lemon and and you know, it's

446
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: it's like I said, I wouldn't be surprised that at

447
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: the Masks come out because if those boys get hot

448
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: and if they get the right matchups, anything is possible

449
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: with that squad, and.

450
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: They figured out how to play. They're playing some really

451
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: solid team defense, towards the end of the year, you

452
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, So they figured out that's out

453
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: of the ball as well. I'm just not as confident,

454
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I felt like last year

455
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: was somewhat of an anomaly. I felt like the Timberwolves

456
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: tricked that off. No, I mean, I know, you know,

457
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: they you know, Kyrie was playing and fucking incredible and

458
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: he cooked and and all that shit. But I feel

459
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: like they learned a lot. I felt like I feel

460
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: like they learned a lot. So yeah, man, I just

461
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: don't see them beating any of those three teams that

462
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: we mentioned prior. I mean, like you said, the best

463
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: backcourt they could, they could do it. And you know,

464
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: I just don't feel like Clay. We've seen Clay just

465
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: be absolutely I mean his last game with the Wars

466
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: with the Warriors. I mean, that's that's what you can

467
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: get out of Clay too, you know what I mean,

468
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: Like he's just so you could just be abysmal in moments.

469
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: I just don't Yeah, I.

470
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, again, we talked about the big

471
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: bets that teams are making right on our on our

472
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: Draft Kings basketball preview, Like Derek Jones Junior. You're selling

473
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: that defense out for Clay Topson. That's a bet.

474
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: That's a big bet, you know, And that's a prayer

475
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: that you know, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's

476
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: what that is.

477
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: So obvious. So we'll see. I mean, I think it'll

478
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 4: be interesting.

479
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: Tyler makes the point is that they've got one of

480
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: the few players where you go, well, I mean, shit,

481
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: what you're gonna do?

482
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I mean even with a straight

483
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: up said I wish I never said that shit about Kyrie,

484
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: I was tweaking. They got two players where like at

485
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: well you know obviously, like Luca is consistently that you know,

486
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: Kyrie has his moments you feel me like, yes, periods,

487
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, But like Kyrie gets to

488
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: the guy level. It's like, you know, just hope he

489
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: just hope he doesn't get to that level. That's what

490
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 2: you hope for, you know what I mean, because when

491
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: he gets that, you can't do anything. So I think

492
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: they can win the series, but I just think it takes,

493
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: like it's gonna it takes much more of him to win,

494
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And than the other three teams.

495
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: You know, they gotta kind of get lucky of it.

496
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080

515
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: the Suns aren't a contender, but I'm hopeful that they'll

516
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: be a fun team to watch, am I.

517
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that assessment.

518
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean anything with Book and Bill and KD

00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be fun to watch, But nah, th ain't

520
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: doing shit.

521
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: They'll be fun. I don't know if they'll be fun.

522
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: You don't think you know what I mean, because I

523
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: mean fun equals winning, right, you know, Like I mean

524
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,919

Speaker 1: little hurt nobody.

528
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not a fun team to watch. That's

529
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: it's a good highlight here and there. You know what

530
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: I mean? Like, are you gonna stop? Like, okay, nigga,

531

Speaker 4: KD?

534
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 7: KD is thirty five. Like anytime he's on my TV,

535
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 7: I'm tapping in.

536
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: Man, I love KD. But I'll be on my phone

537
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: with him playing in the background like some jazz nigga.

538
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like wait, did you hear

541
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: a big fan of KD too. I just feel like,

542
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: I like KD, I just don't know this this this,

543
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: this Sun's team is just not gonna be something I

544
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: really want to, you know, stop what I'm doing to

545
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: to pay attention to.

546
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the teams I'm most curious

547
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: to see how things go for them is the Grizzlies.

548
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: Uh they have you know.

549
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, like Jaw is another example, Like do you see

550
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: they put Jaw in the like Biggest Rising Players list

551
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: or something.

552
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 7: Oh, Jaw's only like what twenty six.

553
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Though, Like he's it feels like he's been around forever,

554
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: but he's young as hell.

555
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, but he's like.

556
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 7: He's an established dude.

557
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: But it feels like we haven't seen him play in

558
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: one hundred years. Bro, Like when's the last time, I think, like,

559
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: what's the last time we were? Like you felt like

560
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: Jaw was Jah? You know what I mean?

561
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: I know I know he like this is what happened

562
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: last year is so weird obviously, you know what I mean?

563
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: It was kind of obviously what his situation got the

564
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: most attention, but it was just a weird year for

565
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: them generally, Like that didn't they have like half their

566
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: win total that they had the previous.

567
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 5: Three or four years with injuries, and shit, they were

568
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 5: so injured last year it was And then Jock came

569
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 5: back for two weeks, hit a buzzer beater in New

570
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: Orleans and then got injured.

571
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: Again, then got heard.

572
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, we haven't seen the Grizzies of full

573
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 5: strength in a long time.

574
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 6: But Mike, you're right.

575
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 5: I think they're a sleeper team in the West because

576
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 5: when healthy, this is a top I mean, they've proven

577
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 5: the man a top three team, right, Yeah, And I'm

578
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 5: Adam Adams league.

579
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 7: No, No, he's gone.

580
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: Adams was in Houston speaking of which, like I said,

581
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I'm really liking what I

582
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: saw from Zach eighty this preseason.

583
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, like, you know, the question word.

584
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: This is a seven foot five guy with cement shoes,

585
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Like is he gonna be able to play in today's league?

586
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: And Memphisiss look like they know how to use that dude, bro,

587
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, they kind of covered

588
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: the you know, they had the Steve Adams a blueprint, right, Like,

589
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, a big guy who's kind of a clunker,

590
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: but you know, still can make the shit work with himself. Yeah,

591
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: it looks like they know what to do with Zach

592
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: eighty dog, and that was a big question mark for him.

593
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: I think.

594
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: Like a thing that's always funny to me in the

595
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: NBA is when people are surprised that tall dudes could play, you.

596
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

597
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's a big tough motherfucker. Bro, Like, yeah,

598
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: I guess he could play in the big tough guy league.

599
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: Like, I know he's slow.

600
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: I know he's slow, but it's like, you know, you

601
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 3: at this point, this is not nineteen eighty six, Like

602
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: everyone has so many things they can do to alter

603
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: pace and bring them you know, conversation into where your team.

604
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 2: Wants it to be and stuff like that.

605
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 3: They're like, I'm sure there's gonna be some games where

606
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: he looks like a big slow motherfucker.

607
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: But like, to your.

608
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 3: Guy's point, this is literally the Grizzlies. They're not trying to,

609
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 3: you know, figure out how to make this ship work

610
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: with the Suns, Like this is a team that has

611
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: that knows how to do this. So yeah, I'm excited.

612
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: Man.

613
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: I love I love a big, dopey looking fat guy

614
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: in the league. Bro, Like, let's get it, you know.

615
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I was hoping Kenny Kenny Lofton junior, in

616
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: no relation to the baseball Kenny Lofton.

617
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 7: I was hoping he would be their guy. You know

618
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 7: what I'm saying. But I don't know.

619
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, let's see we're staying in the West.

620
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the Let's talk about.

621
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: The old dudes, the Warriors and the Lakers.

622
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 3: Man, I mean, y'all take whichever TV you want first,

623
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 3: like a Tyler's fuck is sick of this ship already.

624
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: It's it's just I just I don't know, man, I

625
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: just bittersweet with the Lakers because, like I said it,

626
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: it feels like Bron is still playing championship level basketball

627
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: where if he has the right guys around him, he

628
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: can lead and still lead a team to a championship.

629
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: But Lakers just don't have the right guys around them,

630
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, I mean, I think

631
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: it's just simple as that.

632
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: I think one thing that's interesting to me, and we

633
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: could debate the you know we're not going to, but

634
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 3: we could debate the ESPN like top hundred players all

635
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: this other stuff. If you look at every team that

636
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: has like a top ten guy like Braun, a top

637
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: fifteen guy like Ad whatever.

638
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: I think Ad should be higher than he is on

639
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: their list, But like.

640
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 4: Then you look and there's three or four ten to ten.

641
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: They got him thirteen on ESPN, he's top ten, and

642
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: you know, for people who've been watching him, I think,

643
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: but like you know, but what's crazy is you look

644
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: at that list then and it's still like, let's be

645
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: honest about it. Lebron brought Anthony Davis. That's Lebron's front

646
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 3: office move, right, he brought Ad? What is around him?

647
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 3: Who is it that is Austin Reeve? Like what has

648
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: the actual employed members of the Lakers front office done

649
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 3: to augment that? Because when you look at these other teams,

650
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: you know, Tyler, you're talking about it the thunder trying

651
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: to give Sga the best shot. What's gonna give him

652
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 3: the best shot? Alex Caruso, right, like, let's get him

653
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 3: some help with perimeter defense, et cetera. Like what are

654
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers done? Is Austin Reeves? It's like, we're gonna

655
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: give you a nice storyline with your.

656
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: Kids, Ronnie Walker up man, get him off, you know

657
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So you know what a playhoff game

658
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: for something we can figure out some shit.

659
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: So the answer to the question is the coach, obviously

660
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: is what they try to do this offseason. But again,

661
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: when you look at these lists of all these other teams,

662
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: anyone who's got a bron caliber player, they put three

663
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: or four other top one hundred guys around him to

664
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: give him his best chance. And I don't feel like

665
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: the Lakers' front office has done that. And I don't

666
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: know that hiring a better chef to work with the

667
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 3: same ingredients in JJ Reddick, I don't know that that's

668
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 3: the that's the business.

669
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 2: That is not the answer, bro, Like you, we know

670
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen this year. It's gonna be the same

671
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: thing that happened last year. You know what I'm saying, Like, dude.

672
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: Here's a question, is who's gonna like it's not gonna

673
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 3: be jj Reddick is not gonna be wearing the Dunce cap,

674
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean? Is this a year

675
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 3: that we actually see Rob Low get some ship for

676
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: some ship on him, Like, like, who's gonna be responsible

677
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: when the exact same shit happens?

678
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: I guess that's my question.

679
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 7: That is a good question. Yeah, yeah, I think so

680
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 7: I think.

681
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 5: The first coach, first year head coach, in experience, he

682
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: doesn't know what he's doing.

683
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna be J Tyler.

684
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 4: You think Bron is letting blame fall on JJ.

685
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't think Bron will flat out come out and

686
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: point the finger at JJ because I think JJ's guy.

687
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think JJ is the show, going to

688
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 7: be the one who the hammer is coming down on when.

689
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: They stink it up. I mean, look, he's a brilliant

690
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: fucking basketball mom. There's plenty of brilliant basketball minds who

691
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: can't transition to coaching right like it's it's coaching.

692
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 7: It's way more complicated than just knowing basketball.

693
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: We talk about them not surrounding Bron, but how they

694
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: had a good team. They had a great team the

695
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: first what not the first year, but the second, second,

696
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: and third year, right, they want a chip that's the

697
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: next year after that they played really they were playing

698
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: really good until folks, until Bron got hurt. Fops would

699
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,479
Speaker 2: get hurt. Think eighty got hurt too as well. Then

700
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: they panicked. Bron played a big part of bringing Westbrook over. Right, Yeah,

701
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: he got JJ right a nigga. I mean, Bron has

702
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: made the bet he's lying in so and you know

703
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: how much I'm a Bron fan, right, I'm like, don't

704
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, like you know, like you know, but the

705
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: the GM Lebron did this to himself. They should have

706
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: made some different decisions. You know. They gave him what

707
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: they he wanted and it hasn't panned out the way

708
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: he wanted. So, I mean, if I'm going to blame

709
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: anybody for the situation they're in, I mean, he won

710
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: a chip, so whatever. But I mean, I mean, he's

711
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: he's the guy that is gonna stamp the fucking you know,

712
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: decisions at the end of the day. You feel me

713
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: when it. I mean, so like I feel like those

714
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: I feel like what's going on with Broun right now,

715
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 2: Like he got a d big pick up, but after that,

716
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: the decisions after that have not been the best, you

717
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, and those are the decisions

718
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: he wanted. So I don't know, Man, I'm not gonna

719
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: blame Lebron averaging you know, twenty seven and he's not

720
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: gonna I'm not gonna blame the player. But I mean, like,

721
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: like you know, I'm not I'm not I don't feel

722
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: sad for Lebron in the way I would have felt

723
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: sad for him. You know what I'm saying if he

724
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: didn't have so much, you know, a hand in what's

725
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: going on right now. You feel me like I'm a

726
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: watch and because I mean, I'm the same when you're

727
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: watching KD like I have a I have a like

728
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: I have a begy under one and another one that's

729
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: gonna be three. Like I don't have as much time

730
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: Kadi's gonna, you know, fall by the wayside. You feel me,

731
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm the time I have. I'm just been watching Bron

732
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: because that's that's gonna be the time I can waste,

733
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: because that's what I'm gonna be doing watching them niggas play,

734
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: because it's going to Shola to a game. I guess.

735
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: I guess we got we got somebody to one. We

736
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: got soby one. I know you did. But that's like

737
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: Rother was pregnant, so he.

738
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: Kind of I gotta give any so so show look

739
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 3: at whatever else happens with Lebron.

740
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

741
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: You know, my dad took me to see when I

742
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: was a baby.

743
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, but we know we know what's gonna

744
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: look like. Gee, it's not, but I'm not gonna watch

745
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: it feeling sorry, like what could have been? You know

746
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: what I mean? Brod made the decisions that got him here.

747
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 5: I asked the question to chat who gets blamed if

748
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 5: everything goes wrong with the Lakers and they're saying, Genie.

749
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: Bus, I'll be honest with you as a as a

750
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: Lakers fan, I think the worst thing that could have

751
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: happened for Genie Bus is the way that Steve Mamer

752
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 3: has been as an owner of the Clippers. Now I'm

753
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: gonna enjoy making fun of the Clippers opening a trillion

754
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: dollar stadium with a box of cracker Jacks, like as

755
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: a starting five, you know what I mean. But like

756
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: as much as I enjoy that, Steve Balmer is what

757
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: you want as an NBA owner and the Laker like

758
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: it is this funny thing because the Lakers are such

759
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: a bigger franchise, but it does feel like a mom

760
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: and pop shop versus like Amazon versus like a company

761
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 3: with infinite wealth, intelligence, ruthlessness in the way that they're run.

762
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: And the Lakers are like my brother says, we should

763
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: letbron do what he wants, you, you know what I mean.

764
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: Like it's just also people that have broke down the

765
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: finance of the Lakers talk about they don't have money,

766
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: they have assets, they have the Lakers, you know what

767
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying, have the Lakers. They don't have the money

768
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: to kind of make certain moves, you feel me, But like,

769
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: Bomber's gonna do whatever needs to be done. But yeah,

770
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: I've been seeing that a lot online too. People are like, Yo,

771
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: Bomber deserves to run the fucking Lakers. I've been seeing

772
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: like multi people who have said that type of shit.

773
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: So that was interesting seeing the Lakers fans like all

774
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers fan d D D D. I think.

775
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: I think the other thing John is like ninety percent

776
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: of people in southern California are fans of the Lakers

777
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers. Right, Yeah, the Dodgers are owned by

778
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: a Steve, but like the Dodgers are owned by infinite

779
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: wealth that we saw season Yes less it makes the

780
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: correct decision and has the money to back up whatever

781
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: decision that they're making. The Lakers standing next to the Dodgers,

782
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: which I feel like, and actually what's funny is it's

783
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: a reversal of the dynamic that existed in Southern California

784
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: forever where the Dodgers were owned by a dude who

785
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: it's like, ah, he's getting divorced again, Like you know,

786
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: they're gonna raise the parking.

787
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: But half it's over with. You know, them dollars gonna

788
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: be seventeen dollars now, you know, right.

789
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: But now you look at the Lakers, and that's the

790
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: team where you're like, you know, like that's crazy this state.

791
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: The Lakers are playing in the in the in the

792
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: old arena in southern California. Bro.

793
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I like, as as someone who lived in

794
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 3: southern California for forty years, I can't describe how crazy

795
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: that is that the Clippers.

796
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: And it's not even Staples anymore, Like you know what

797
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like there's no reason of being crypto, you

798
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean, like.

799
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: Just the statues, the statue that is the only shit

800
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: you have there.

801
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: That's like it's like these icons, but it's like this

802
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: if it was Staples, Like okay, you know there's like

803
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: the history there, but it's not even that anymore. Bro.

804
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's make fun of the Warriors.

805
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: We talked enough shit on our favorite.

806
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: My favorite team.

807
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: Goddamn, how many Warriors games are you gonna watch this

808
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: year is the allure of Steph Curry still exciting that.

809
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: Like Scott Van Pelt was basically asking Steph like why

810
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 3: are y'all doing this?

811
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 4: And Steph is like, I still believe.

812
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: I could win an NBA championship.

813
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: Like that's what That's what he said, Like.

814
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: What, ste.

815
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 7: I'll look that incredible Olympic performance. We will never take

816
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 7: that from you.

817
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: But but no, no, that is going to be I

818
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the last time Steph, you know,

819
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: showed out on a big stage.

820
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 7: Is that Olympics performance? I think, Yeah, I think the

821
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 7: Worriors that are done.

822
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: It's over.

823
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 7: And bro Dynasys can't last for every all the greatest

824
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 7: basketball team ever saw in my life. Shit had to

825
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 7: end sooner or later.

826
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Clay being gone is gonna be weird as fuck.

827
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: Vibe is gonna be off, you know what I mean.

828
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 2: But like I watch, I mean, dude, I'm at the

829
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: point in Steph's career where I'm like I can root

830
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: for him like I was always you can't. You can't

831
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: not be offen of the motherfucker. He's a god, you

832
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like, so I was rooting against him,

833
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: but the same way I was rooting against Kobe. But

834
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: you still, like, you know, I cried when Kobe retired.

835
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: You feel me, like I told y'all, so like I'm

836
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: at the point where I can actually like root for him,

837
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and not feel like you know,

838
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: you know, he's stealing from my goat, you know what

839
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: I mean. So I'm a watch, but it's not It's

840
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: not gonna be winning basket ball, you know what I mean,

841
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: Like it won't be winning basketball. It'll be great to

842
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: see Steph drop a fifty ball or go for forty

843
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: here and there. You know he's gonna need it, you

844
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It was great to see him

845
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 2: reach like places nobody in basketball's ever reached when it

846
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: comes to shooting. But yeah, man, like, uh, I mean,

847
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: it'll be like moments that I'll enjoy, But the season

848
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: is gonna be fucking trash bro Yeah uh we uh.

849
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: I think he'll be more fun to watch them than

850
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: bron though. As far as like I mean, you know,

851
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: I still I think we talked about how Stepp plays

852
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: like he could play this way for years, like he

853
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: has the old man game even though it's like it's

854
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: like there's some flash to it.

855
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: I'm just emotionally invested in a different way. He'll be

856
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 3: a more fun basketball player to watch them, That's what

857
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm I'm gonna well up tonight watching Bron

858
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: and Bron on the quartion.

859
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: For for sure, for sure, for sure. I like, yeah,

860
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: there's there's no watching I don't think I'll ever. You know,

861
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: Bron came during a particular time, and he's played for

862
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: a particular amount of time, and he's been so good

863
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: for so long, and I've seen him grow up. I

864
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: grew up, we grew up with me, Like you know

865
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I'm like, what a year and a

866
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 2: half with him when he was you know what I mean,

867
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: Like nigga, you know, I remember in college, you know,

868
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: watching him when he was in high school, like my

869
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: sophomore year, so this senior year. But anyway, yeah, gee,

870
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 2: Like I won't enjoy any player as much as I've

871
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: enjoyed watching Bron, you know what I mean. But when

872
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: it comes to like you said, actual basketball, Steph will

873
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: be more fun to watch than Bron, you know what

874
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: I mean. Bron is still great, but he's not anywhere

875
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 2: close to the you know, the even the two thousand,

876
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen bron we saw, like definitely not the heat bron.

877
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: It was like staring out at the rim, dumping from anywhere,

878
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: ducking on, you know what I mean? Like so yeah, man,

879
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: like a right, I'm still enjoy it.

880
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: Though we winded so much about the Lakers, we got

881
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 3: to get through the rest of the West to make

882
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 3: sure we have time for the East one storyline from

883
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 3: the rest.

884
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: We care about the East. We can talk about maybe

885
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: three teams.

886
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: About the East, but the Cheems we didn't talk about yet.

887
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: In the West, the Spurs, Pelicans, Kings, Rockets, we did

888
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: make fun of the Clippers, the Jazz, and the Blazers.

889
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 3: Blazers a great argument for just making your superstar be unhappy.

890
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: Can you imagine spending fifty dollars to go to a

891
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 3: fucking Blazers game?

892
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean?

893
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 3: Just sorry, dame, You're just gonna be unhappy with the Spurs, Tyler,

894
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: How good do you think Wenby can get this year?

895
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: He's been talking crazy this offseason.

896
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 4: Have you seen some of his quotes?

897
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: Oh dog, when he said, you know, growing up, there's

898
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: so many players who idolist and I got to the

899
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: league and I see a lot of these dudes don't

900
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: work hard.

901
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 7: I'm like, listen, bro.

902
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah he said, yeah, he said that.

903
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: He went full Rick Ross idols become Rickles, like like

904
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: when when Rick Ross saw bird Man's watching fake Like,

905
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: same shit, motherfucker's disappointed.

906
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 7: But I love that about Wimby Dog. He gives a.

907
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: Fuck and that's so important, Like he is locked in

908
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: and you've got You've got the most ridiculous thing ysical

909
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: frame we've ever seen in the history of basketball with

910
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: that mind stake, Buddy Buddy Buddy young Fixes, as.

911
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 7: We like to call him.

912
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 6: The French accent is probably the one accent that doesn't

913
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 6: sound tough, like so just hear like you quote him

914
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 6: and then picture him like a French accent saying and

915
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 6: it just makes me laughing hot it's.

916
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that kind of sounds villainous though

917
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: the French action sound villain was saying the right thing.

918
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 2: You know, you feel me.

919
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think I think that Winby is of

920
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 7: course going to take a leade.

921
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I think that I think I don't think it's not

922
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: getting I think he's going to probably finish like top

923
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: three in m v P. I think that spurs go

924
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: from last I think that had twenty two wins last season,

925
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: think like thirty seven thirty eight this year, you know,

926
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: especially with the pick up a c P three. I

927
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: think that Winby is first team All Defense, first team

928
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: All NBA, and Defensive Player of the Year. I think

929
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: he starts his run where he probably wins fucking six

930
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: out of Defensive Players of the Year awards.

931
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 7: I think that run starts this season. It's not really hot.

932
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: The kid, like I said, goat potential dog. He has

933
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: the potential to be the greatest we've ever seen. I

934
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: promise you he does.

935
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: I think he'll be like like you said, like you know,

936
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: he'll play MVP level basketball. The team's not good enough

937
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: for them him to get close to really get one,

938
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, you know what I'm saying. So I mean

939
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: it'd be fun to watch, you know what I mean.

940
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: But the team I don't really see you know, them

941
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: doing much. You feel me, But yeah, I mean I'll

942
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: watch him because you know there's you want to be

943
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: able to say you've seen the growth. You want you

944
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, and you want to have seen

945
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: the growth. You want to have seen the player he

946
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: was and how the team was, you know what I'm saying,

947
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: and see him at his peak. You want to witness

948
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: that so you know, same way, you know, kind of

949
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: for the same reason I was watching Bron like I

950
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: want to be a witness to what the fuck is

951
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: about to happen. I feel the same things. Similar things

952
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: are gonna happen with with Wimby. Yeah, okay, anything else

953
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: on any of these other teams in the West or

954
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: should we move to the eastgott, I think we're good.

955
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: The saddest development of the off season for me, guys

956
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: is that I think I've become a huge Joe Missoula fan.

957
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: I love every quote he's given since winning the championship.

958
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: It really fucking sucks for me personally.

959
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: Bro Bro when when the reporters asked him, how do

960
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: you deal with the pressure of trying to, you know,

961
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: go back to back and he said, pressure is nothing.

962
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: He said, you know, we either win or you don't.

963
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: He said, in forty years when I die, none of

964
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: y'all are going to be on my feet. I was like, goddamn, oh.

965
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: Bro, incredible perspective, honesty. He understands like and in the moment,

966
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: it's kind of understood. It's kind of difficult to see

967
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: things from that perspective, but he sees right through all

968
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: the bullshit to what really matters. I've been talking to

969
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: I was like, I have a Celtish homie, Dennis, who

970

Speaker 2: I like go back and forth with on you know,

Speaker 2: you know, we was, I was clowning the nigga all that,

976
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: you know, like all last year. It took kind of

977
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 2: closer end of the season. I'm like, you know what

978
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, kind of I'm out of put

979
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: my periphery. I'll see you a real nigga. You feel me?

980
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, but anyway, my point guard vision,

981
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm seeing some real nigga shit, you know what I'm saying.

982
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: But uh, but this off season really kind of submitted that,

983
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Just yesterday we were talking

984
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: about how much we love a nigga, you know what

985
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

986
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, the quote Tyler reference was a follow

987
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: up question because the first thing they said was are

988
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: you guys going back to back this year? And his

989
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 3: response to the question was literally like, we're all gonna

990
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: be dead soon. Like that was literally how he responded

991
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: to the question. It's just like y'all trying to put

992
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: a storyline on me. I don't give up the fuck. Y'all, Right,

993
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: whatever the fuck you want to write.

994
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 2: That might come from that. He might have a little

995
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: bit of that Klay Thompson, So it might come from there.

996
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:49,959
Speaker 2: I season things.

997
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: You know, this is a but this is when I

998
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: caught him in my periphery was I told the story

999
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: on the pod last year about him saying he and

1000
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: his wife were in the new house they bought. They've

1001
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: been living in like a two bedroom apartners and they

1002
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: buy the new house after you got the head coaching job,

1003
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: and they're sitting up after moving in, and he's telling us, like,

1004
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: we can't let this house make us complacent, like we

1005
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: have to stay and he said that she started crying,

1006
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: and so he said he had this self awareness to

1007
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: be like and I realized that the brain you need

1008
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: to be a great coach is very different than the brain,

1009
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 3: you need to be a good husband and father. And

1010
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 3: that was when I started going to therapy and I

1011
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: was like, ah, fuck, and he knows the difference between

1012
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: those two things.

1013
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 4: That's dangerous.

1014
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 2: But I also relate to we can't get comfortable, you

1015
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, we can't get comfortable. It

1016
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: ain't sweet, But also like this awareness as well. She

1017
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: moved into her new house period after y'all been in

1018
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: a two bedroom when y'all had this type of bread.

1019
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. She's been dealing with your

1020
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: weird ass for long enough, you feel me, but as

1021
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: a weird nigga, you know what I mean? Hey, I

1022
00:42:55,239 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: see some shit, you know what I mean? Showing it again?

1023
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: I think so, Yes, Yes, no major losses on that roster.

1024
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: I think I think the synergy is going to be

1025
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: even better this season. I think it's theirs to lose.

1026
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: Bro. I wonder how Tatum responds though. I think there's

1027
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 2: gonna be something interesting with that, you know what I'm saying.

1028
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: You know, I know I heard like he was working

1029
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: with Dummy hard and offseason and ship like that get

1030
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 2: really getting locked in. But I want to see how

1031
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: he responds to you know them winning but not getting MVP.

1032
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 2: Like people have been on his head a little bit.

1033
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: You feel me, I feel like things have.

1034
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 4: You feel like that might go in a negative way.

1035
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 3: I feel like that's why Missoula has adopted this whole

1036
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: stances off season is specifically for Jason Tators or.

1037
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: Tatum, And that's what we were saying texta home to homie.

1038
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 2: I was like, Yo, Tatum needs to approach it like this.

1039
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: He doesn't need to approach you what Jalen is where

1040
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: he's like, fuck everybody, nigga, you know I'm proving everybody wrong.

1041
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't think he has the disposition for that. The

1042
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: way he's so chill, he's so chilling, laid back. He's

1043
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: best when he's like comfortable, when he's like I had

1044
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: a bad game, fuck it. You know what I'm saying.

1045
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: That's when that's when he'll you know, that's that's what

1046
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: we can Having a short memory is the best way

1047
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 2: for him to win. I think with Jalen, the way

1048
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: Jalen gets teed up is having your long ass memory.

1049
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 2: I remember your ass a year and a half ago.

1050
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: What the fuck you, shaid? I'm you know what I mean?

1051
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: So people different people, I'll move by different things, and

1052
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: I think he needs to approach it like that and

1053
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 2: we'll see how he approaches I'm interested though, but he's

1054
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: a god to your player. He just needs to realize

1055
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 2: that now. He needs to look at the fucking mirror.

1056
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: Said I'm fucking Jason Tatum. I mean, nigga, you know

1057
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: what I mean? And if it gets that, I think it's.

1058
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: Gucci did did Did y'all see that clip on starting

1059
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: five when when when the Timberwolves and the Celtics played

1060
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: and and ant shut uh Tatum down to win that

1061
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: game and he was like best player in the world,

1062
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,439
Speaker 1: best playing the world, bro, Like Mike an't uh.

1063
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 7: This whole season? Please please?

1064
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: Like we need that. Yeah, we need that.

1065
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 3: And if we're hoping for the Celtics to not repeat,

1066
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 3: we might need him to follow Jason Tatum around twenty

1067
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: four hours a day and like try and just completely

1068
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 3: take it psychic apart because that's the only like I

1069
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I don't. I The only weakness they

1070
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: have is the new CBA next year. Like that's the

1071
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: Celtics weakness.

1072
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: It's like, what's what's interesting about Tatum is like you

1073
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: know how like I know, high school in the NBA

1074
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: is totally different, right, you know what I mean? But

1075
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: like watching him play, like you usually you see like

1076
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: a particular a certain mindset that's similar that you. You

1077
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: approached the game in the simmer with a similar mindset, right,

1078
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum in high school was like the boogeyman, nigga.

1079
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 2: It was just like he's coming, bro. He was quiet

1080
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: as fuck, just as chill off the court. But if

1081
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 2: you felt like Jason where like he ain't really trying,

1082
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: like he ain't really like pressing, it's just coming to him, nigga,

1083
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: like you feel me like that's what kind of felt.

1084
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I think I think he was.

1085
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 2: I feel like he lost that a little bit over

1086
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, I feel, you know what

1087
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: I mean, But uh, I don't know, man, Like was

1088
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: it two years ago when I thought, like when I

1089
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: look at Jason Tatum play, I can see how he

1090
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: can be the best player in the world, Like we

1091
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: all thought that for like he has it in him.

1092
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: But over the last like year and a half, last

1093
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 2: two years, we haven't seen that as much. Like that guy,

1094
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't think he needs it.

1095
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: I just don't think he needs to rEFInd it right now.

1096
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: I think the Celtics built this team perfectly. They have

1097
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: the perfect coach. Like, I think he can just play

1098
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: within himself and they'll be fine. And if he does

1099
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 3: find that gear you're talking about, then we may as

1100
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: well wrap the fucking season up right now, you know

1101
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 3: what I mean?

1102
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I was being from Saint Louis.

1103
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm root for him, you know what

1104
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: I mean, like for show, like I'm you know, connected

1105
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 2: to him, connected to his success in a particular way.

1106
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 3: You know who Aaron California history is two dudes who

1107
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 3: had very different levels of success in the NBA. Tyson

1108
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 3: Chandler was one, and anyone who is I mean Tyson

1109
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 3: Chandler in high school was like all sick today, coach,

1110
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And the other one is

1111
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 3: Stanley Johnson, who is a I believe, a four time

1112
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: state champion of a matter of day. But he would

1113
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 3: bully the fuck out of people, you know, like future

1114
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: NBA guys.

1115
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: People were fucking terrified.

1116
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: Obviously didn't become a you know, a superstar in the

1117
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 3: NBA or anything, but it is just the mentality aspect

1118
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 3: of it. Is interesting because high school and the NBA

1119
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 3: couldn't be more different. But the brains aren't that different, bro,

1120
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 3: the brains far apart either.

1121
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: You know you're talking to.

1122
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 4: Twelve months, sixteen months, eighteen months or whatever.

1123
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 2: Sometimes that nigga went from he went he played playing

1124
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: when the high school was in Shaman, not when it's

1125
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: a duke in the NBA the next year. You know

1126

00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 2: the second year in the league or some shit. And

1133
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 2: now he goes to the rim and he's like doing

1134
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: dipsy due to a void. Shit, you know you dunked

1140
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: so that's where I'm at if he gets to that

1141
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: point when I'm fucking Tatum, where he's going a nigga's chest,

1142
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 2: when you know what I'm saying and not settling for shit, Oh,

1143
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 2: I think and I don't think that's a like I mean,

1144
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: we've seen we've seen that guy. You know, that's how

1145
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: he got to where he's at. Now, you know what

Speaker 2: knows you can be. You know what I mean?

1150
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 3: So, okay, Josh, give us one hundred and twenty seconds

1151
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 3: on the best case scenario for the Knicks.

1152
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 6: Best case scenario for the Knicks.

1153
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: The season starting, You're wearing your Knicks hat. What is

1154
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 3: the happiest you could be at.

1155
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: The end of the season.

1156
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 6: I mean, the happiest I could be is they win

1157
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 6: an NBA championship.

1158
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 3: Is that in your heart you believe that's like, like,

1159
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: make the case for them winning the NBA Championship.

1160
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 5: The case would be the cat deal works out perfectly

1161
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 5: where offensively, the space, the floor has a phenomenal year

1162
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 5: shooting from three.

1163
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 6: He does well protecting the rim.

1164
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 5: Mittelbridge just comes over and he hits the three, the

1165
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 5: corner three, which they got to do o g mckel

1166
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 5: are probably the best UH backcourt defensive duo that you

1167
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 5: could probably ask for, and they do that against the Celtics.

1168
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 5: They somehow figure out a way to start Jayleen Brown

1169
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 5: and Jason Tatum. Jalen Brunson has post to an m

1170
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 5: v P type season. Duced McBride steps up and he

1171
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 5: becomes sort of like a six man bringstarter for the

1172
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 5: Knicks whenever they need.

1173
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 2: There's a lot of steps at this point, brot of

1174
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 2: you sounds like a lot of niggas not being themselves.

1175
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like.

1176
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 6: If I face I don't bleep any of his ship,

1177
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 6: You're like a.

1178
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: Train that gets unhooked from the engine, like the Anxiety hill.

1179
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 2: By the time he got to Douce McBride, the anxiety

1180
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 2: he is the positive pieces.

1181
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 4: You know, Tyler, Joe, what do you think about the

1182
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 4: Knicks this year?

1183
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: What do you think is gonna happen to him?

1184
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: I think they are one of the teams that can

1185
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: beat Pawston. I think they are a team that can

1186
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: win the East. But yeah, it's it's it's all gonna

1187
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: be about, you know, the Cat fit. I mean, I

1188
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: think I think Cat is gonna be a plus for

1189
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: them though, I really do. But yeah, it's I just

1190
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: think Boston is too tough. But at the same time,

1191
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the Knicks beedom like they're

1192
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: the They're perhaps the only team in the East I

1193
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: can see in Boston.

1194
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 3: You don't think that the Philadelphia seventy six ers, who

1195
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 3: are missing both Joel Embiid and Paul George On Opening Night?

1196
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 7: Did I see what KG said about him?

1197
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: Beat? No? Oh, what do you saying?

1198
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 5: Man?

1199
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 4: Are you allowed to repeat it?

1200
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1201
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was It was just just real

1202
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: anti load management. He's like, it's eighty two games, Lord,

Speaker 2: Two load you know.

Speaker 1: his disrespectful like like and B would be like.

1208
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you played twenty years ago.

1209
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 7: You know things have changed, Like you say that.

1210
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,479
Speaker 3: On KG, Right, that's a perfect impression of the dude.

1211
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 3: That Benny the Butcher was trying to get his money

1212
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 3: from on uh uh burden.

1213
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Benny, I'll.

Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm just I don't know, bro, I'm I'm

1217
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 7: I'm I'm never gonna believe in the sixes.

1218
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't think.

1219
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 7: And it's a phenomen player all time, great dude.

1220
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 2: But no, I don't sound see it at all at all.

1221
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: I think with the Knicks, I just what I wonder

1222
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 2: about Cat is Cat's gonna need to be more reliable

1223
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: and bigger moments than he was with the Timberwolves, you

1224
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And also, you know, I feel

1225
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: like he's in a more like the Timberwolves kind of

1226
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: played it cool with him, you know what I mean.

1227
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: The Knicks fans ain't gonna do that ship, you know

1228
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like they're gonna they're gonna let him

1229
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 2: have it when he's fucking up, the world's gonna know

1230
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 2: when you're playing, he's not gonna have He can't have

1231
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 2: that same start to this season he had last season.

1232
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he caught fire after that start. But you

1233
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, so yeah, I mean I

1234
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: just I don't. I think it will be a plus.

1235
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great fucking basketball player, hell of

1236
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: a basketball player. I just don't know how he'll deal

1237
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: with the different level of pressure MSG and also him

1238
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: they need him in a particular way that they didn't

1239
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: need him with and he seemed very comfortable being the

1240
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 2: backup that he was with the you know, you know.

1241
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 2: But like we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see.

1242
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: I think he can figure it out.

1243
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 4: I just wonder let's talk about the team that's I mentioned.

1244
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 3: The Grizzlies are maybe the team I'm most interested in

1245
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 3: the West, just because the there's teams where the storylines

1246
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 3: don't match what the actual experience is necessarily. That team

1247
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 3: in the East for me is the Bucks. I'm so

1248
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 3: fascinated to see what happens with the Bucks this year.

1249
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 3: You have another year of You've got the year of

1250
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 3: reps now between Jannis and Dame. I feel like we

1251
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 3: kind of called Janice's arc a little bit on this

1252
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 3: show though, because we talked about after we won the championship,

1253
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 3: like he might be too well adjusted, brother, Like you

1254
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like like that man seems like

1255
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 3: he's happy and he understands that he made it in life.

1256
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 3: Is he still like, I'm gonna rip my arms off

1257
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 3: to to you know, throw it across the court and

1258
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: block a shot if I can't get there, Like, I

1259
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: don't know that because they need him to be, Like,

1260
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: they don't win without him being the best player in

1261
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 3: the world, right, Like they need They're still built for

1262
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 3: him to be at that level. And I don't know

1263
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 3: that he's I don't know that that's what he's looking for.

1264
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 3: And I said, I'm a huge Giannis fan. That might

1265
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 3: be after bron my favorite player in the league.

1266
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 6: But I don't know.

1267
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 2: I'll be real curious to see how it goes for

1268
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: the for the Bucks this year.

1269
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 7: I think Downas is still hungry. I think he still

1270
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 7: got that hunger. But bro Like, I don't know.

1271
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 1: It's just like we's talked about before, that championship window

1272
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: closes so quickly. Bro Like, I think we're gonna look

1273
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: back on Yiannis's career. We're gonna be like that year

1274
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: they lost to Miami. Bro, Nah, that was that was

1275
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: a that was a ring that that came off that resume.

1276
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 2: Dog.

1277
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 7: But I don't know.

1278
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm just the Bucks gotta show me. And I was

1279
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: so high on the Bucks when they first picked name,

1280
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna win it all, Bro. But

1281
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: it was just it's just, you know, Dame had his struggles,

1282
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: but then you know, towards the end of the season,

1283
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: it looks like he was figuring things out. But I

1284
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: mean there's still Doc Rivers there too, Like, I don't know,

1285
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just the Bucks are gonna have

1286
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: to show me something this season, Bro. And and that's

1287
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: that's ain't a whole lot because like I said, when

1288
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: they pick up Dame, I thought they were going to

1289
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: win a ring.

1290
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 3: I felt because yeah, I mean, he's a he's a

1291
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 3: guy coming in who had success in the playoffs. But

1292
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 3: they also had a chance. You know, obviously Drew Holliday

1293
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 3: was a big part of it. But you have Gianni's back,

1294
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 3: you have Chris Middleton back year, bro, like you have

1295
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: a championship corps, and then you add the super like

1296
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 3: you know, I guess the issue obviously is just injuries

1297
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 3: and trying to manage the fact that their experiences also

1298
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 3: causing injuries.

1299
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1300
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm I was. I felt the same as you, Tyler.

1301
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 3: I think we were in agreement last year. But that's

1302
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 3: why I'm like, this is the year where either okay,

1303
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 3: but now it comes together or you're like, nah, these motherfuckers.

1304
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 2: Just too old. I don't think it comes together. Man,

1305
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 2: Giannis is not old, right, Like, yeah, I'm saying, but

1306
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 2: he's not old. But does he not feel like he's

1307
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: closer to bron And than the SGA type shit? You

1308
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 2: feel me like, I mean, for whatever reason, it just

1309
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: feels like that ship is saled well at the moment he's.

1310
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 4: Playing until he's four, Like, yeah, I guess that's what

1311
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 4: what I'm losing.

1312
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 2: The way he plays will be very difficult. It's very difficult.

1313
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 2: It just feels like that ship is sale. That's how

1314
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: it feels. They could come out. He's cooking because he's

1315
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: gonna cook, you know what I mean. But like the

1316
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 2: you know, and and and Dame is looking like Blazer's name,

1317
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: and it's like, Okay, they figured it out and I

1318
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 2: can be made a complete liar and I'm comfortable with that.

1319
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: But my gut is like I don't I'm not looking.

1320
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm not really truly interested because I just don't feel

1321
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: it's I don't feel as they have a you know,

1322
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 2: I feel like there's there's too much parody, and they

1323
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: just don't seem like one of those teams at the

1324
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: top they can really do anything. And I just I

1325
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: can't imagine. I can imagine the world where the Knicks

1326
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 2: figure it out, get hot and beat the fucking uh Celtics.

1327
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 2: I can't see that with the Bucks. I just, you know,

1328
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 2: like I look at it one hundred different you know,

1329
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 2: chances of over happening, and I just never see the

1330
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 2: Bucks coming out that way. Yes, I don't know. Brons

1331
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: Giannis is gonna be good, because he's good, you know

1332
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. But I just don't think the Bucks

1333
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: will be what, you know, what we thought they would

1334
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: be last year.

1335
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 3: Okay, we got eight minutes. I'm gonna read the remaining teams.

1336
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 3: Everyone take one team that they're interested in. What do

1337
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: we do a draft of other teams to give a

1338
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 3: shit about?

1339
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 2: In the East?

1340
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 3: Halves, Pacers, Magic, Heat, Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Hornets, Pistons, Nets,

1341
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 3: and Wizards.

1342
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 4: Tyler, is there a team there that you're interested in?

1343
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: Ah?

1344
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 7: Not really.

1345
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 2: Like Indie.

1346
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1347
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: I would say Indiana maybe, but they're like last season

1348
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: they were statistically the greatest offense we've ever seen, which

1349
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: we know the numbers do lie sometimes they were not

1350
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: an all time great fucking I mean, the numbers probably

1351
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: said they're an all time great team, but we all

1352
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: know they're not a fucking top fucking thirty at NBA team.

1353
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 7: We've seen it.

1354
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: You're not gonna remember that team in thirty years, yea,

1355
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's it's just, you know, they're their

1356
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: defense is just so atrocious, like you're not gonna exist, Like, yeah,

1357
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: you're You're just not gonna win in the playoffs. A

1358
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: bad defense, that's fucking basketball one on one, bro, that's

1359
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: nothing super insightful. They're like, you know, that's some ship

1360
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: that y'all that they're very well aware of it, and

1361
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't like they're really taken any steps to try

1362
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: to fix that.

1363
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 7: So, I mean, I'm out on the Paces.

1364
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, but for sure the Paces are one of

1365
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: those teams where they can fucking get hot and go

1366
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: to the conference finals, right, I don't see them making

1367
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: it out the East.

1368
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: But but yeah, I'm really invested in Lonzo Man. I

1369
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 2: want to see him do well. Yes, So, I mean

1370
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 2: I don't really care as much about these other teams,

1371
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: But I want to see Lionzo play well, so I

1372
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: would say the bulls. I would tap him with the

1373
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 2: bulls to see Lonzo. I just feel like what's been

1374
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 2: going on is unfortunate. I feel like he really found

1375
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: himself in the NBA. You know what I mean, he

1376
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 2: found way how you know, you learn how to play

1377
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 2: the game, and the way that's best for him. Developed

1378
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: the jumper, you know what I'm saying, solid defender, you

1379
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 2: know what I mean, always in the great and open court.

1380
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 2: And it just feels like it was just so unfortunate

1381
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: about his need. There was real questions whether he play

1382
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: The people were saying he didn't ever admit to that

1383
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: or say that, but people were, you know, suggesting that

1384
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 2: there was that that was going on. But I'm really

1385

Speaker 2: invested in Linzo. I want them to be good. I

1386
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: want them to be able to be healthy. I want

1391
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, get back to what he was doing.

1392
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: I tell people all the time, the most fun I've

1393
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 3: ever had in basketball was watching that Chino Hills team.

1394
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: Uh you talk about that, you know, with with with

1395
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 2: both of his brothers. Uh.

1396
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 3: You know when the the arena doors opened at the

1397
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 3: Pyramid at Long Beach State for their their Socalist championship

1398
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: game to go to the state championship, people trampled each

1399
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 3: other running in to get good seats. I mean people

1400
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 3: like they filled the place up. Literally they opened the

1401
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: door and everyone came sprinting in and filled it up

1402
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 3: like that, and they played such an exciting brand of basketball.

1403
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 3: He was such the perfect controller of that that not

1404
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 3: getting to see him, like you said, once he he

1405
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 3: had figured out where he was going to be in

1406
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 3: the NBA. Having that cut short is like, that's that's

1407
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 3: my all time injury regret for sure, just because I

1408
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 3: have such an affection for what those guys did when

1409
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 3: they were on the court together. My team will be

1410
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 3: the magic because I like to say Poolo and I

1411
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 3: am excited to follow Poolo, and I think if we're

1412
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: talking about guys that we're excited to see if they

1413
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 3: make a leap, I think that could be a big

1414
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 3: year for Polo. So I'm excited for the Magic, but

1415
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: I don't think that they could beat the Celtics or

1416
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 3: some shit like that.

1417
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: So, Joshua, you got who's who's your who's your remaining team?

1418
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 3: We've got Calves, Heat, Hawks, Bulls, Raptors, Hornets, Pistons, Nets,

1419
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: and Wizards.

1420
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with Miami Heat just because every year

1421
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 5: it seems like they're overachieving or they're in a round

1422
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 5: that they shouldn't be in in the NBA playoffs, and

1423
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 5: Eric Spolsh is the best coach in the league.

1424
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 6: Gimme.

1425
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 5: Butler's a socio path. So if there's one team that's

1426
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,520
