Speaker 1: Where you going? Who's your big winner of the weekend? Oh,

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: big winner of the weekend?

42
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: Skeets the Utah Jazz, the best team in the league

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 5: right this very moment. That one's for you Utah Jazz fans.

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: On Friday, Jazz went out and beat the Bucks. They're

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 5: two to zero against the Bucks this season. Honestly, the

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 5: Jazz basically led the entire game. This was a smash job.

47
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 5: Twenty seven for Go Bear, twenty seven for Joe Ingles,

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 5: twenty six for Donovan Mitchell, twenty five for Jordan Clarkson.

49
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: The Jazz were dominant inside against obviously a great Bucks team.

50
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 5: Royce O'Neil held Jannis to two points in the first half.

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 5: He did score twenty seven in the second half, but

52
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: the game was basically over then. Impressive impressive stuff from

53
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: the Jazz, But on Saturday they beat Dahat. This one

54
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 5: was close through the first half, but they really blew

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 5: it out during the second and third quarters. Utah held

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: Miami scoreless for fourteen straight possessions during the second and

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 5: third quarter. Went from a thirty six to thirty one

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 5: Miami lead with seven forty five left in the second

59
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: quarter to a sixty three to forty two Jazz lead

60
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: seven forty five left in the third quarter. They're twenty

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 5: two and five right now after winning eighteen of their

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: last nineteen. It's the best start in Jazz history. And

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 5: this is a little bone throw here. They are absolutely

64
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 5: a title contender. Like I said, they're the best team

65
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 5: in the league right the second. Sorry to you Jazz

66
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 5: fans for saying it's going to be hard to beat Lebron.

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: A healthy Lebron team goes to the finals every single year.

68
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: I'm sorry for bringing that up, but I am upgrading

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: the Jazz here. Utah fans were sad that I said

70
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 5: that they were the Hawks from twenty fourteen to fifteen.

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 5: They're saying, we're way better than the Hawks. We got

72
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: two All Stars.

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Fair enough.

74
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 5: Now you're the twenty thirteen fourteen Pacers, which is honestly

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 5: a bit better of a comp for the Jazz. They've

76
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: got the two All Stars. They've got the Big Guy

77
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 5: and Rudy Gobert similar to Roy Hibbertt. They've got Donovan

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 5: Mitchell similar to Paul George, establishing themselves as stars. Just

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: do not do a GQ photo shoot and everything'should go fine.

80
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 5: You might reach the hollow ground of being the twenty

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 5: ten eleven Bowls the best team to ever lose to

82
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 5: Lebron James and his squads. But uh, impressive stuff for

83
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: the Jets. They look like, at the very least, they

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 5: look at like the second best team in the league.

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 5: If you want to say that the Lakers are still

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: there despite losing to the Nuggets, fine by me.

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: But right now the Jazz are straight up balling, and

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: it's nice to know there's no Lee Ellis curse too.

89
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Going on a jazz podcast, you know, not too long ago,

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: I thought, uh, oh, Lee, he's gonna go on there

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: and then they're just gonna start losing and everyone's gonna

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: blame you. Nope, they're still rolling. Trey said it all there,

93
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: took you through the games. I think that that second

94
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: game is actually more important win in a weird way,

95
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Ley because you know, we keep talking about the Jazz like, man,

96
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: they're on fire from three. They got all these guys

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: hitting at an unbelievable clip, three after three after three, Like,

98
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: when's that going to come back to earth a little bit? Well,

99
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: that game versus the Heat, they stumped from three, right,

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I think they finished twelve of forty six, so they

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: went cold, but they got it done with that defense,

102
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: which we know is elite when go Beart's playing, they

103
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: always are. So I think that was a really really

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: important win there, just proving a little bit that it

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: gets like, yeah, it's nice when we're clicking offensively and

106
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: all these threes are raining down here. But hey, don't

107
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: forget that we can still win some of these ugly games.

108
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're not a jinxleiy is what I was getting.

109
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: No, No, in fact, quite the opposite. I was on

110
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: the Jazz postgame show. Apparently I'm trying to secure that clip.

111
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to track it down yet, but

112
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: I made the broadcast there. For the pod that I

113
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: had with the Jazz, it took about Joe Ingles, who

114
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: actually tied his career high with twenty seven points on

115
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: Friday night, but set a new career high with seven

116
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: triples on Friday night, and that game against the Jazz. Yeah,

117
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: it is interesting because, you know, against the Heat on Saturday,

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: they do for a bad game, and it looked like

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: it was going to be that game in the first

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: half because as you mentioned there, they just could not

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: hit a three, and their offense just they just looked

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: a little heavy legged from you know, maybe getting up

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: for that game against the Bucks on Friday and having

124
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: such an emotional victory, maybe they were just a bit heavy.

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: But then they got it together and really stopped the

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: Heat in the second half. So yeah, this is certainly

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: the most impressive. I think, you know, of all their

128
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: runs they've had last year, and they had the big stretch,

129
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: they were good, but this feels a little bit different

130
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: because they're doing it so convincingly at both ends of

131
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: the floor, and all those comparisons you bring up their trade,

132
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: I think they're good and relevant. I also think there's

133
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: something there with the Pistons of around that sort of

134
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: two thousand and two to two thousand and five range.

135
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: Even though the Pistons did win the championship and they

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: made the finals again, they sort of had such good

137
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: balance on both ends of the floor, which I see

138
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: from the Utah Jazz. Now, the Jazz won't get any

139
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: more than two All Stars, and the Pistons had four

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: there at one point when they were at their best.

141
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: But I just think if you look at that sort

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: of balance and depth they have, I can sort of

143
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: see a similar team like that. Because the Pistons, I think,

144
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, they kind of got lucky. They came in

145
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: one day championship ironically against the Lakers when they beat

146
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: Shaq and Kobe there, who kind of were in fighting.

147
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: But I don't think anyone sort of looked at them

148
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: and thought, you know, immediately the Pistons are going to

149
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: be the team that sort of ends that dynasty, which

150
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: they did, but again part of that was because of

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: the Lakers just coming to the end of their time there.

152
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: But right now, I think, you know, depending on what

153
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: happens here with the Nets and Kevin Durant of course,

154
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference, I think the Jazz have to

155
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: be the second bet considered the second best team in

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: the NBA, even though you know the Lakers lost last night.

157
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean, as long as Lebron's out on the court,

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: his team is going to be the best. It's going

159
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: to be the favorite. But the Jazz are certainly impressing

160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: with the way they're playing the last I mean, the

161
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: last three four weeks.

162
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: Really here, yeah, tas Ie zillar ate this morning. If

163
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: this were a normal eighty two game season, the Jazz

164
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: will be on peace for sixty eight wins. It's just

165
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: like a sort of mind blowing right, and you're like, wow, Okay,

166
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: that's a that's an unbelievable number. Now can they keep

167
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: this up? We'll see, But are you convinced, you know

168
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: that the Jazz are for real in the terms of

169
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: at least being a title contender or are they still

170
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: a little step below? And you got to see it

171
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Where are you with them?

172
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: They're in the contender family. Sure, yeah, they're not the favorite,

173
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: but they just have to keep getting these performances from

174
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys that are I think playing to

175
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: their capability. I don't think a lot of these guys

176
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: are playing way above their heads. Now they're three point

177
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: shooting percentage. Yeah, it's a little high across the board

178
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: by it, but it's kind of believable because you know,

179
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: besides Donovan Mitchell, who's always going to be great, Mike

180
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: Conley's playing like his grizzly self, and Rudy Gobert's playing

181
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: like his self, join Tho's playing his capability. So it's

182
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: not like they're playing way above their head. They're just

183
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: all doing it at the same time. So that's that's

184
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: a tough part. Can you keep this up? And yeah,

185
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: they're the Pistons comparison I find interesting because you know,

186
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: they just they were good at the right time. In

187
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference, everyone was weak and that's why they

188
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: had four all stars. So if the Jazz were in

189
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: an Eastern Conference where you know you're playing with the

190
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: Charlotte Hornets and Jamal mcglure's making the All Star team,

191
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: then you could squeeze in four All Stars with Mike

192
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: Conley and friends. No offense to the the Scarborough man,

193
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: Jamal mcglure, love that guy. But the Eastern Conference at

194
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: that time didn't have a lot of All Stars flying

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: through the through the gauntlets. So yeah, that's the problem

196
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: is that they have to go through Lebron James and

197
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: they don't have a soft East to go through. Can

198
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: they all keep it up at the same time that

199
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: that's the thing. I think they're all good enough, and

200
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: you know I mentioned those guys Jordan Clarkson has to

201
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: keep it up in the playoffs, who I think you

202
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: can probably believe in even more than a Joe Ingles,

203
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: which is which is crazy that Jordan Clarkson has come

204
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: on and played this great But then you know there's

205
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: Roy O'Neil who's really key for this team, and last

206
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: year he had the yips in the postseason. So you know,

207
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: when it's one of those teams that you have a

208
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: lot of ifs, a lot of question marks, it's just

209
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: easier to ride the back of Lebron James, and it's

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: one question mark and he's answered that question mark so

211
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: many times. So that's what we're looking at here with

212
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: the Jazz. It's great that they've come on. They're playing

213
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: phenomenal ball, and they're shooting the three so so well.

214
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: So I enjoy it. I enjoyed that Bucks game a lot,

215
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: and so did Yannis on the other side when he said, man,

216
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: they're the best team in the league. They look like

217
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: us last year. I wish we were as good as that.

218
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: Oh that's the kiss of death. No, that means the

219
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Jazz are going out in the second round. Yeah, I

220
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: mean it's impressive that they're continuing this winning streak without

221
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Mike Conley, right, who's missed the last four games. I

222
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: think it would have been pretty fair if they had

223
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: lost one or two of these and you've been like, yeah,

224
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: they're missing Conley. I mean, Lee had them as the

225
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: best player in the league, MVP and stuff like that.

226
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: But instead they can continue to keep rolling here, and

227
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: like you said, Tass, it's like they're just getting contributions

228
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: from every single guys across the board. Everybody is chipping in,

229
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: and that's a dangerous team. They're rolling right now. They

230
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: do not want to take any sort of like All

231
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: Star break or anything like that. Like, you know, that's

232
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: a last thing a team like this wants to do.

233
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: So Utah Jazz winner the weekend, lock it in. That

234
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: was a no brainer. I'll go next here, Phoenix Suns.

235
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: I'd like to give a winner of the weekend too.

236
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Two and zero. Over the weekend, they've extended their winning

237
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: streak to six in a row. Hey, that's good for Phoenix.

238
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: They beat Philly over the weekend one twenty to one eleven,

239
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: and then they followed it up by taking care of

240
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the shorthanded Magic one o nine to ninety eight. Game

241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: was never particularly close. The Magic were playing with like

242
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: eight guys. But still, I like how the Sons just

243
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: took care of business, got it done. They've won nine

244
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: of their past ten games. They've improved to seventeen and nine.

245
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: They're an interesting team because you start saying, well, where

246
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: are they in consideration for all of this? You know,

247
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: are they still a tier below your two LA teams

248
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: and your Utah Jazz? Probably? Probably, But aren't they at

249
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: the top of that list with your other teams like

250
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: Denver and Portland? Who knows, maybe, but I loved what

251
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: I saw from them. I love that Booker was special

252
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: late in the Sixers game, twenty four points in the

253
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: second half, and he was special early versus the Magic

254
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: just putting them to sleep seventeen in the first quarter,

255
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: and you know, really really making your All Star selection

256
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: case even more muddled. I know some people were keeping

257
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: them out of the conversation, didn't maybe have them on

258
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: their list. We're showing love to guys like Mike Conley.

259
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: I get that before the injury, but Booker is like,

260
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: come on, of late here, He's twenty eight points per

261
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: game over this seven game homes and shooting lights out,

262
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: like fifty five percent from the floor. He was already

263
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: an All Star. I mean, it's going to be difficult

264
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: with their record to not have him in the mix.

265
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I understand the Chris Paul situation. You show him love to,

266
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: but to me, book ares still their best player. He's

267
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: got it going, he's found his little groove now he's

268
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: playing more. Of course, he figured out how to play

269
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better with Chris Paul, and that's nice.

270
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: So good win, good good Win, And you know, arguably

271
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: it's sort of like we were just talking with the Jazz.

272
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: The ugly win over the Heat. The Suns went over

273
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: the Magic in a weird way. Is I don't know.

274
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for the Phoenix fan base,

275
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: but they've had some bad losses this year. Phoenix to

276
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: bad teams, blowout loss to the Wizards, they know showed

277
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: versus OKAC. I think they lost to Detroit as well,

278
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: so like just to take care of business. Like they

279
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: were nine and six against teams blow five hundred. That's okay,

280
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: but they could be better. So nice win, Phoenix winner

281
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: of the weekend. I'm not sure I'm gonting any objections

282
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: from you guys, but they're coming on here and they're

283
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: a fun watch. I love Bridges. We've talked about eight

284
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: and before, and they got the stars in Booker and

285
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Chris Paul Trey.

286
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was fun watching Booker cooking. The Sixers a

287
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 5: great defensive team, and you know, it shows you the

288
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 5: difference between a game in the middle of February and

289
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 5: something in the playoffs, because the Sixers came out and

290
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 5: put Danny Green on Devin Booker and that was not working.

291
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: Devin Booker was straight up cooking this man. Pulling up

292
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 5: from basically half court no problem. Eventually it was matist

293
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 5: Thibel and Ben Simmons to elite defenders on the Sixers,

294
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: but at that point it honestly didn't matter. Once Booker

295
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 5: was in his zone, the man was rolling, there was

296
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 5: nothing the Sixers could do to stop him. That's impressive stuff,

297
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 5: and yeah, an ugly win is nice too, But when

298
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: you're beating one of the best teams in the league, handily,

299
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: I love to see it. Devin Booker is going to

300
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: be an All Star. The Suns are going to be

301
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: a playoff team, and winning a first round series I

302
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: think is a legitimately a legitimately good goal for them.

303
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: You know, they haven't been to the playoffs in eleven seasons,

304
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: so making it back is an accomplish in the accomplishment in.

305
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: The first place.

306
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: But with Chris Paul, with Devin Booker, they got two

307
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: guys who can do it in the fourth quarter. Gonna

308
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: be a tough team to be come playoff time.

309
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Booker three and Simmons. I guess Sean Booker

310
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: was like thirty plus feet out to sort of ice

311
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: the game, Lely, or you're agreeing with me, step back

312
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: on him too. Yeah, Like like Trey said, Danny was

313
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: on him and then they're like, what are you guys doing?

314
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: And then it was like it didn't matter who was

315
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: on him. He can create enough space and he's got

316
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: a quick enough release.

317
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what you want to see from Devin Booker.

318
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean, to take that step up to be the

319
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: guy who's going to take the shots against the best

320
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: defender for his team. I mean, it's time for him

321
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: to do that. And I think you mentioned it their skets.

322
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: I think what you're really seeing here is he's figured

323
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: out how to play alongside Chris Paul because at the

324
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: start of the season it was okay, but they're now

325
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: sort of a little bit more understanding, like Chris Paul

326
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: will put you in the right position, but you're the

327
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: one has to also step up and take these big

328
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: shots in those big moments. We saw it down in

329
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: the bubble, the Booker looked like he was ready for

330
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: those moments. And now the regular season's here and we're wondering,

331
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: you know, was that just a bit of a bubble,

332
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: you know, burst? But instead he's going out there and playing,

333
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: and yeah, you love it when he goes against Ben Simmons,

334
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: because Ben Simmons has been getting a lot more attention

335
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: for his impressive defense lately, and Booker took it right

336
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: at him. So great to see six wins kind of

337
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: snuck up on you two a little bit there. I

338
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: think the Suns, I think that which is good. You know,

339
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: they're sort of flying under the radar their fourth right

340
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: now in the West. Can they hold onto that position.

341
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: I think that's key for them to do that to

342
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: get a home court advantage in the first round if

343
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: things can play out from here. But we still need

344
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: to see it a little bit more sustained throughout the

345
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: course of the season. I think that's the difference between

346
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: them and the Jazz right now. The Jazz have shown

347
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: us this before, whereas this is the first time the

348
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: Sons have been anywhere near the playoffs really since Devin

349
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: book has even been in the league.

350
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: So SA, good time, mate, You just mentioned the bubble.

351
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 5: This is the second time they've been near the playoffs.

352
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 5: Eight oh two stretches of incredible basketball good enough for

353
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: me to be a believer these Hey.

354
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm not deep in the NBA gossip game,

355
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: but so maybe Trey or maybe Lee or task confirm

356
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: this Booker is Booker? Did Booker steal Simmons girl or

357
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: just Ben Simmons? And I know it's one of the

358
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: jener girls. Yeah, they parted ways and then Booker knows

359
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: Booker is now. Is that correct?

360
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't know who's with who right now, but

361
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: I know that I know that they both are interested

362
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: in kend Kendall. I think it is.

363
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: I think I think Booker is with her now. I

364
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: think they are right.

365
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: Because I think she was with Blake Griffin originally, and

366
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: then because he and Ben Simmons were getting into a

367
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: little bit on the court, and then uh, and now

368
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: it's moved on to Devin Booker apparently, So.

369
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't It wasn't Jordan Clarkson a sixth man in

370
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: that situation.

371
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

372
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: Up with the Kendles, it's yeah, it's tough.

373
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Okay Kendalls.

374
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: Thankfully we don't know it every single detail about that.

375
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we vaguely.

376
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: She's not even the rich one either, is she. I

377
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 3: think Kylie's the one with all the money, isn't I think?

378
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: Fine?

379
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, So I'm not sure Booker and Simmons are

380
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: worring about their finances and trying to find someone that

381
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: there's more money.

382
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: When Devin Booker was on our Summer League show, he

383
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: had his mom hold his twenty four carrot gold phone.

384
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: The phone case was twenty four carry and that's when

385
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: he was a nineteen year old kid. So he's doing right.

386
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, one of them got taken off the Forbes

387
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: Rich List because she inflated her assets. I don't know

388
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: which one it was, but yeah, I'm not going to

389
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: keep going on the good on him, Good on him.

390
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: It's great to see.

391
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: It's great to see the family get a bit of

392
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: a break there and make some money. It's good to see.

393
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So sons Lee, let's go to you next.

394
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: Who's your winner of the weekend.

395
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 3: Well, look, you don't have to have a perfect weekend

396
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 3: to be a winner. And that's why I'm going with

397
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: the Charlotte Hornets because last night, after the first quarter

398
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: against the San Antonio Spurs, are up sixteen points after

399
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: a big win on Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves,

400
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: and I thought, that's it, great winner, winners, that'll do

401
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: the Hornets up sixteen. Then they gave up forty seven

402
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: points in the second quarter. That's a tough one to

403
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: the Spurs now. But look, the thing, the reason I

404
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: bring them up is because there was no Gordon last night.

405
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: There was no PJ. Washington, and then they also lost

406
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: Davonte Graham in the second half there, so they were

407
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: short hand. Okay, that happens, but they were still in

408
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 3: this game, and even though it was a twelve point

409
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: margin in the end, it was a lot closer. And

410
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: it was largely because of Terry Rozia playing fantastic basketball again.

411
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: He got the team off to a great start, kept

412
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: them in it, and LaMelo Ball was also good. But

413
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: they really, really really missed Gordon Hayward last night, just

414
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: that steady hand on offense to be able to give

415
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 3: them a basket. Their offense was just lacking so much.

416
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 3: And that's a good sign for Charlotte to see just

417
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 3: how impactful Gordon Hayward is. But they didn't completely fall

418
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: apart either. I think that's what's important here. But also

419
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 3: go back to Friday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

420
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: That was one of those games. I fired that one

421
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 3: up on Saturday morning, thinking, ah, you know, what's this

422
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: one going to be about? And it was actually a

423
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: really good game. You saw a great battle between Anthony

424
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: Edwards and LaMelo Ball a couple of times two going

425
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: at each other. But Terry Rozier and that one also

426
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: had forty one was huge down the stretch in that one,

427
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 3: winning the game for the team. He's been really fun

428
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: to watch, an interesting player because I sort of think,

429
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: you know, obviously LaMelo Ball, that it's his team going forward.

430
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 3: So Rosia is probably available to other teams, but he's

431
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: playing such good basketball that maybe the Hornets are like, now,

432
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: let's just stay with what we've got for now. This

433
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 3: They've never been really in this position for a long

434
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: time where they're you know, in playoff content now the

435
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: two games below five hundred, but they're still in the

436
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 3: East playoffs, and I think they are going to make

437
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I think they are. I think that they've

438
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 3: shown enough in this early stage that they are going

439
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: to be able to keep this up and at least

440
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: win more games than they lose. I mean, the five

441
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: hundred might catch you in the playoffs in the Eastern Conference,

442
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: but I just like the way they're really playing, and

443
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 3: they're and they're fighting, they're hustling, they're staying in games,

444
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: and it's I think that last last night was a

445
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: tough one, but that's fine. You know, you lose to

446
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 3: the San Antonio Spurs when you're shorthanded, that's okay. But

447
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: they've got some really good talented players on that James

448
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: Brego has done a great job coaching that team, and

449
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: so I sort of I wish they had won last

450
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: night because they they would have gone back to five hundred.

451
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 3: But look, it's a different it's different if they got

452
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: just asolutely drilled without Gordon Hayward there, you'd be like, well,

453
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 3: see they can't do anything without him. But you know, great, great,

454
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: great fun game anyway, fun week and they're honestly one

455
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: of the most fun teams to watch right now. Maybe

456
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 3: it's Eric Collins. I don't know. He is awesome, of course,

457
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: but I just I just didn't want to just discount

458
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: them because they lost the game last night. They're playing well.

459
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: Enjoy the Hornies.

460
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: I think you've upset some other fan bases with this

461
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: Hornet's pick for your winn of the weekend because it

462
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: was funny. I saw you in the dark, I saw

463
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: you right down the Hornets. I was like, that makes sense.

464
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: At the time because you put it in like early

465
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: in the game and they were up on the Spurs.

466
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: They had that awesome win on Friday. I'm like, okay,

467
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: and then I asked you this morning because I saw

468
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: it stay in the dark. I'm like, you're taking the Hornets.

469
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: You're really run it with the Hornets here. That'll do.

470
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: But what about the Spurs fans? Why couldn't you give

471
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: them a winner? Hey, the Blazers, the Pistons for Cranoler.

472
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pistons. Yeah. Dejontay Murray was excellent too from the

473
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurs. But did you guys see the little

474
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: hesitation from Terry Rosie last night?

475
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

476
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: God, that probably was the moment. All right, they were

477
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: in night K. I don't care what happens for the

478
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: rest of the night there is but yeah, there are

479
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: a lot of the guys on the teams you mentioned, Yeah,

480
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: good winners. But I just I'm riding the Hornets. I'm

481
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: riding them. I want I want them in the playoffs.

482
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: Come on, Hornies, we can do it.

483
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of hornies, speaking of all the moans and groans happening,

484
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: when that Terry Rozier hesitation happened, Eric Collins. My god,

485
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: he was loving it and it was sort of Valentine's

486
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: Day theme. But at the end of that first quarter,

487
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: when Terry Rozier was getting it each and every way

488
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: he wanted, he was scoring however he wanted. Eric Hollins,

489
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: played by Playman of the Charlotte Hornets, was just yelling.

490
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: At the end of the first quarter. Nothing was happening,

491
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: Hornets were kind of dribbling out the possession, but he

492
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: yelled twelve minutes of ecstasy because they were just so

493
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: good on Valentine's Day. He just couldn't contain himself, just

494
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: like Lee. That's why Lee got in the dock and

495
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: saw those twelve minutes of terror rose. He was like,

496
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: I'm done. This is good. I mean terror Rozier was ballin',

497
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: absolutely balin' in that first quarter. No deal. But like

498
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: the Spurs on the other side, the sixteen and eleven,

499
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: talk about the Suns, talk about the Jazz. Those are

500
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: three under the radar, small market teams that are playing

501
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: pretty well in the Western Conference that some of them

502
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: get a winner of the weekend, some do not.

503
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to have a perfect weekend the weekend.

504
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: You just have to have a good forty eight minutes

505
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: and then a good twelve minutes, so sixty good minutes

506
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: and you're in yeah.

507
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: Wow if yeah, Terry Rose is like the last quarter

508
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: of Friday night. In the first quarter of last night,

509
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: I think he would have combined for about thirty points

510
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 3: because he cooked the wools down the stretch and then

511
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: and then lit up the spurs. But yeah, well, you know,

512
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: that's the way it goes sometimes in batble, isn't it.

513
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: You know, Like honestly, again though to me, it's about

514
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: the Hornet's being a bit more fun to watch than

515
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: they've been in years gone by, and there's some substance

516
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: there to it. You know, they're still figuring it out,

517
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: but they're certainly on the rise anyway right now, and

518
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: hopefully they get Gordon Hayward back. He only had back stiffness,

519
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: I think it was, they said, so tightness stiffness on

520
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day.

521
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: The Horny's kids and PJ.

522
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: Washington was, I believe for coronavirus protocol. So you know, again,

523
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: who knows exactly how long he's going to be at there,

524
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: And Davonte Graham had had a bit of a knee

525
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: injury not really clear how long he's out, but let's

526
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: type play. Those guys are back out on the fold

527
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 3: very soon.

528
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Okay, just a few other notes with the Hornets. One

529
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: back to Collins. Eric Collins played by Playman for the Hornets.

530
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: We are definitely going to get him, Trey. I know

531
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: you tweeted this a while ago, that he's gonna yell

532
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat at some point on the broadcast. I hope

533
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: to god he is just going to be hilarious, Tess.

534
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: I saw you tag him in a tweet and I

535
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't think he was on Twitter, and

536
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: then I clicked through and the guy he is on Twitter.

537
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: It is him. It's the Eric Collins. But I don't

538
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: think he's been active since was it like twenty thirteen,

539
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: I want to say, maybe fourteen something like that.

540
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: It's been a quiet touchdown of years, a good seven years.

541
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: Maybe a two point conversion in there too since he's

542
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: been on.

543
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: There, crazy crazy stuff. And then the other thing with

544
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: Lamello Lee. I don't know if you saw this one.

545
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: He's changed his tune when it comes to the Airbnb nickname.

546
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Remember I brought this up last week. He was asked

547
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: about it. I saw LaMelo Ball after a good game

548
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: that he had. He was on the broadcast, Hey, what

549
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: do you think of Airbnb for the Bridge's ball connection?

550
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, B and B. You're in the air, he's

551
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: throwing all these oops. He didn't like it at the time, right,

552
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: I told you guys, he's like eh, But now he's

553
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: all into it. Apparently he's because he's like, yep, Airbnb

554
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: because Airbnb themselves tweeted about it, and then Lamello retweeted,

555
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: So maybe he sees some nullers signs. But Breaking Tea

556
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: has a great Airbnb shirt. I just wanted to slide

557
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: that in there. The company we used to make our

558
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: T shirts. Go check that out. Looks really cool. And

559
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: then this would probably be a Loser of the Weekend

560
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: in my book, Lee, did you see that the NBA

561
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: wants LaMelo Ball to participate in the Skills Challenge? So

562
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: we might see Ball at the All Star Weekend? After all?

563
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: I say Loser the Weekend because I can't believe this

564
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: event is still around.

565
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what to think about any

566
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 3: of that, but I look, Lamela was great again. Some

567
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 3: of those fancy passes, some of those sexy passes. Talk

568
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: about a sexy pass. I don't know if I'm stepping

569
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: on anyone's toesy. You see last night against the Nearly

570
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: took off? Yeah that was. And then the Jazz had

571
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 3: a couple of incredible, very solid plays over the weekend.

572
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: Ls on Valentine's de Eroxy. Come check this out. Look

573
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: at this puzzle pass. Turn the lights down, little Chocolate.

574
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: Are you ready today?

575
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 3: It's like it's like the Japanese Twins in Austin powers,

576
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: fuck you and fuck me.

577
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Call back?

578
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Hold on, There's going to be a skills challenge of

579
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: three point contest, a dunk contest, and an All Star

580
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: game all in the same night. Wow, like maul Vernie,

581
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a long night. We've got to stuck

582
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: up on some energy. It's going to be a long night.

583
00:25:53,359 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm going to stalk up on energy. Yes, all right, Tassy,

584
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: Why do you finish us off here? Winner of the weekend?

585
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: Where are you going?

586
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: Well? The NBA trying to reel in the casual fan

587
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: was a great weekend for them. They're a winner, okay

588
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: when it comes to that, because all the national TV

589
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: games were real entertaining, especially the week after the Super Bowl.

590
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: He might get some NFL fans looking for some sports.

591
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: On Friday, Saturday and Sundays, Boom five for five. The

592
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: NBA went fantastic, ESPN, ABC, ESPN Friday, Saturday, Sunday. They

593
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: stacked it. Pel's Mavericks. On Friday. You had Doncic going

594
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: for forty six points. You had Zion Williamson, a guy

595
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 2: who looks like a football player, thirty six points in

596
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: that one. Grizzlies. Lakers followed that up. Anthony Davis had

Speaker 2: his thirty five points in his return from injury. Nets

598
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 2: Warriors wasn't a great game on Saturday, but the storylines

599
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: were there. Kevin Durant going back to Golden State La Hagen.

600
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: There was a lot of a lot of promos, so

601
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: you know you're into it. I was into it anyways

602
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: for that reason, in that reason, only because I was

603
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: excited on a Saturday night. Usually I'm trying to watch

604
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: something else. I'm trying to stay away from basketball. Can't

605
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: go seven nights a week. But I told Danielle, we

606
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: got to put on this game. It's a big games.

607

Speaker 2: Just she said, you know, give me that background, and

608
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: I said, They've got a thousand promos running. I can't

609
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,359

00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: that almost tied it to go to overtime. Lillard had

Speaker 2: Lakers Nuggets, Joker triple double and Lebron near triple double

615
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: stacked lineup. Also, it was a win for the NBA

616
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: trying to get it any fan who's hanging around the television,

617
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: and also for anybody who doesn't have League Pass, just

618
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: because you could get this on basic cable. If you're

619
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 2: still doing that YouTube TV, if you're slinging it anything,

620
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: you probably saw these games. So it was just a

621
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: solid weekend for the National Basketball Association when there's not

622
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 2: as many sports options. He felt like, you know, there's

623
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: a time in the bubble September, August, September, November, there's

624
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: or October there was so many sports on, but now

625
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 2: there's like no sports on. If I'm not mistaken, hold on.

626
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: The Dayton of five hundred was on yesterday. Excuse me,

627
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: I think it was delayed all day or something. Was

628
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: going on. I saw it was on at night. I'm like,

629
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: what the hell? I thought they ran this thing in

630
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: the middle of the day. It must have been a

631
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: lot of rain or something that kept pushing it back.

632
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: Is that is that correct? You're looking it up right? Yep?

633
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: It ended after midnight.

634
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was a five hour delay weather and

635
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: then there was also a sixteen car crash right before.

636
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: Well that'll do it too. Everyone was, okay, I hope

637
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: I believe I thought I did hear someone about maybe

638
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: getting air backed out or so that's oh really yeah,

639
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: maybe just precautionary too for all now. Yeah, but okay,

640
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: task I like that one. You're right because it feels

641
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: like we haven't had I don't know, maybe I'm for

642
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: getting the odd one here or there. But the greatest

643
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: games on national broadcast this year, you know what I mean,

644
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Like there's been a ton of them. So a good

645
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: weekend of a lot of entertaining, close games, obviously big

646
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: stars coming through in the clutch. So good one there,

647
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: just mini winners again, Spurs, Blazer's Pistons. Really good weekends,

648
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, sort of staying undefeated. I know that doesn't matter, Illey,

649
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: but it counts for something here, and guys, the streak continues.

650
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: And what's that streak? A wedgie a weekend. I don't

651
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: think we've missed a weekend this season without a weggie.

652
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: And we got one more from two of our favorite

653
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: guys in the league down at the Fortress. Yeah that's right,

654
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: John Collins and Miles Turner combining for the awesome block

655
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: wedgie there from Miles Turner on Colin dunk attempt. So

656
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: that is number twenty. We are at twenty already, trying

657
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: to get to fifty. That's always the goal, trying to

658
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: set the all time record, which is what fifty fifty one?

659
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: Fifty one? Oh, I think it's fifty four. So look

660
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: at this too. To weggietracker dot com, no dunks. Fan

661
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: Ricardo put this together with a little inspiration from Nick

662
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: the Weggie Tracker, and we're just showing you like a

663
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: screen grab of it right now for everybody on the

664
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: stream team. But again, if you go to weggietracker dot com,

665
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: it's really cool. You'll see where we're at in the

666
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: weggie race, what pace we're on around pace for fifty

667
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: nine right now, my goodness. And you can actually scroll

668
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: down and there's a link to watch or a video

669
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: to watch every Weggie this season. This is really cool.

670
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: This is just really well done. So shout out to

671
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: Ricardo for putting this together.

672
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: I hope every time there's a broadcaster that says, whoa,

673
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: that's the first one we've seen in years when they

674
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: have a Weggie, the producer will go, hey, put up

675
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 2: weggie tracker dot com twenty this season. Oh silly me.

676
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: Okay, so the record's fifty one. I could have man,

677
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: yeah it still we got higher, but I guess not.

678
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we were just riding that high. Probably felt

679
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: like we had one hundred weggies that season, but now

680
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: just fifty one. That was the shack weggie where he

681
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: sat sacrificed skeets. But to make sure we got there, yep,

682
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: yeah those fifty one.

683
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, all right, let's get to NBA weekend losers.

684
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: There is no shortage, I feel like of losers sort

685
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: of to pick from here at task. Why do you

686
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: get it started? Though?

687
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: We'll start us off with the Milwaukee Bucks and take

688
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: a step back and say that they're second in the East.

689
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: They're sixteen and eleven, but they're nowhere close to being

690
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: as dominant as they were the last two seasons when

691
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: they won the one seed. So that's why they reworked

692
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 2: with their offense in the offseason. They went and got

693
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: a bunch of shooters to surround Giannis and Chris Middleton,

694
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: and they got Drew Holliday as well. Yep, oh, I'm back.

695
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: I guess what happened to me? What happened to me?

696
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: You just stopped talking? But I guess your WiFi.

697
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: Craft whoh weird stuff. And that's why they got Drew

698
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: Holiday as well. And it's worked. Their offense is just

699
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 2: jumped up in terms of shooting the three. They are

700
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: the number one offense in the league. But I still

701
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: have worries about their crunch time execution. You saw it

702
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: against OKC on Sunday night, who are playing Al Horford,

703
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: Kendrich Williams, Darius Baslely, loud Dort and Justin Jackson. They

704
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: just didn't know where to go in the final minutes

705
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: of a game. So in the final minutes of a

706
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: playoff game, when threes get a little bit tighter, a

707
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: little bit more contested, like they are bound to get,

708
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: a team's going to take away the threes. What the

709
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: heck happens with Giannis and Chris Middleton and Drew Hollidy.

710
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: Now Drew Howdy wasn't in this game, but it doesn't matter.

711
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: You shouldn't lose to Oka. See who doesn't have Shay

712
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: gilges Alexander for God's sake. So there's that problem on

713
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: that end. I think, even though they've got the number

714
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: one offense in the league, and then there's problems on

715
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: the defensive end because they were the best defense last

716
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: year and they've dropped well below tenth this year right now,

717
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: but that comes with a caveat. I actually think you

718
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: got to give some kudos to Mike Budenholzer and the

719
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: Bucks coaching staff for trying some things because usually they

720
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: just dropped the big guy back. We're taking away the rims,

721
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: shoot your threes, but they know that that doesn't work.

722
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: Miami solved them in the postseason. They can be solved

723
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: with the three ball. So they're doing some other things.

724
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: They're switching on the outside. Sometimes they're just not dropping

725
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: back there. They're using their big man like Bobby Porters

726
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: or Brook Lopez to go out there and guard some

727
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: guys on the perimeter. But those guys just aren't that

728
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: great at it, and they just don't have a lot

729
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 2: of great defensive personnel, especially in that second unit. So

730
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: I think there's worries on both sides. After they lost

731
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: to the Utah Jazz, they got spanked, and then on

732
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: Sunday when they lost to ok See, a shorthanded OKAC team,

733
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: the only team in the league that's trying to lose,

734
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: managed to beat the Bucks again. That was reminiscent of

735
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: when they lost to the Raptors a couple of years ago.

736
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: And when they lost to the Heat, they just didn't

737
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 2: have answers down the stretch, so Drew Holliday could solve that,

738
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: I guess. And the offense again has definitely picked up

739
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: with all those moves that they brought in a lot

740
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: of three point shooters, but they also brought in a

741
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: lot of bad defensive players, so it's not looking great.

742
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: I mean, they are going to win a lot of

743
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: regular season games sixteen eleven, they should continue to win

744
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: regular season games, but I'm not super pumped for the

745
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: playoff Bilwaukee Bucks. Although you know, maybe the defense comes

746
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: together as the season goes along, and again coach but

747
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 2: is trying things. But I'm not super super excited. This

748
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: was supposed to year that was supposed to be the

749
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: year that Yan has figured it out. TBD for the Bucks.

750
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: No shortage again of Eastern Conference teams trey to pick

751
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 1: from here that had rough weekends. Bucks are an obvious one,

752
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: you know, not inspiring tasks all that much and racking

753
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: up the l's. Who do you have?

754
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 5: Also a bad weekend for the Beantown Boys lost Friday

755
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: versus the Pistons. No Kemba Walker, no Marcus Smart, they

756
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: just couldn't stop Sadik Bay. Shout out Rafael Sadik played

757
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 5: at my wedding. But thirty points seven for seven from

758
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 5: three for sadik Bay, twelve rebounds. He had to clutch

759
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 5: three with about forty seconds left to ice things when

760
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 5: the Celtics were making a little bit of a comeback number.

761
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: To take away from this filet in your little back

762
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 5: pocket for a second. Fifteen assists on thirty six makes

763
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 5: for the Celtics. That's not a lot. Sunday, though, was

764
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: rock bottom. Kemba Walker was back and the Celtics lost

765
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 5: to the Wizards. Zero effort, zero oomph for Boston in

766
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 5: this game. They trailed almost the entire game the biggest

767
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 5: deficit was twenty four. This was the first time all

768
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 5: season the Wizards have held the team under five under

769
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 5: one hundred points. That's crazy to me. Celtics now have

770
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 5: lost four of five, they've lost ten of sixteen and

771
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 5: just like they only had fifteen assists on thirty six

772
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 5: makes on Friday, fourteen assists for the Celtics on Sunday

773
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 5: on thirty two makes. Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown. They are balling,

774
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 5: but they're not natural creators. They're both improving that part

775
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 5: of their game. The Pistons and Wizards, I thought both

776
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 5: did a pretty good job of getting into the point guards,

777
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 5: whether that be Kemba Walker, whether it be Tatum handling

778
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 5: the ball and really clogging the lanes because there's no

779
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 5: scary shooters on the Celtics outside of Tatum, Brown and

780
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 5: Kemba Walker, the guys who are shooting the ball but

781
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 5: usually have the ball. The other big issue is that

782
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 5: they never replaced Gordon Hayward. We kind of get lost

783
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 5: in the Hornets side of things, whether this is a

784
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 5: good contract, what he's gonna do when he gets there.

785
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 5: But this was a major piece that departed from the

786
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 5: Celtics for nothing, and he is everything that they're missing shooting, playmaking,

787
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: and ultimately depth. Danny Ainge is going to have to

788
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 5: do something here at the trade deadline. They look like

789
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 5: they're a shooter short. There, look like they're a big

790
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 5: man short. They just don't have the cohesiveness that you

791
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 5: would imagine from a team who's been playing together for

792
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 5: a few seasons at this point. So, you know, we

793
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 5: always talk about Danny Ainge getting active at the trade deadline.

794
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 5: It's often striking out on big name players, but they

795
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 5: should also be targeting some lower level guys just so

796
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 5: that they can have some more scary shooters. You know,

797
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 5: Like I thought that the best spot for JJ Reddick

798
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 5: was going to be Philadelphia. I think task you said Boston,

799
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 5: and I'm thinking Boston's got to be the place. They

800
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 5: just got to have somebody out there who can open

801
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 5: up the floor for Tatum and Brown and who are

802
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 5: ready to shoot a three as soon as they catch

803
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 5: the ball. Aaron Nee Smith, He's supposed to be a shooter,

804
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 5: but he's still just a rookie. He's not ready to

805
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: shoot the ball every single time he catches it. Changes

806
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 5: to be made in Boston, surely, trader. Danny will get

807
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 5: busy on the phones. But right now they're not looking

808
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 5: like an Eastern conference contender to me.

809
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, leally, put on your put on your green hat,

810
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: turn into cheese for a second. Here, you're a Beantown boy.

811
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: I heard Simmons and Koc two Bean town boys themselves,

812
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: talking about, Yeah, what do they need to do Boston?

813
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: They got to switch things up here? Do we got

814
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: to press the panic button? And all that? Is there

815
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: a move to be made? I know Simmons was high

816
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: on getting your guy Vucevich in the mix. Thaddeus Young

817
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: is sort of like maybe a more attainable guy from

818
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: from Trey's Chicago Bulls. Possibly at least is there anyone

819
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: else that you think could help? I mean, Reddick is

820
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: a great call. You can always add a shooter. But

821
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: what do you think?

822
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think in the middle is probably where

823
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: they need to address first with you know, Daniel Toys.

824
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 3: He's not bad, but he spreads the floor. He's a

825
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: good modern big But I think they're also lacking just

826
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 3: a genuine biag down there, like an Andre Drummond. I'm

827
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: not sure if they can get hold of him. I'm

828
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: not sure if that's who they're targeting. But I think

829
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: that's one of the areas. And then the shooting. I mean,

830
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum had maybe one of these worst games of

831
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: his career yesterday. He'll come back. He's fine, there's no

832
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 3: problems there. And Jalen Brown he's he's also been good

833
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 3: as well. So they've got the two legit stars.

834
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: Who what about Kember though?

835
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 3: What about Kember's figuring things out a little bit? Obviously

836
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: coming back from an injury, it's a little hard to

837
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: get into the group. But when he's at his best.

838
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: I think the Celtics, you know, again, they're second or

839
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 3: third in the Eastern Conference. They're just struggling a little

840
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: bit right now. I mean, losing to the Wizards is

841
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: a bad one. The Pistons not great either, but the

842
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: Wizards stunk it up because it was like that was

843
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 3: their sort of okay, lose to the Piston, let's have

844
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: a bounce back performance here, which didn't happen. So, you know,

845
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: they also did miss some games there, the Celtics due

846
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 3: to the coronavirus stuff, so maybe that's a part of it.

847
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: Making Yeah, so you're any sounds, what's what you're like

848
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: basically saying the Celtics four best players have barely played together.

849
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy. It's like Tatum, Brown, Walker and

850
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: Smart have played something like less than thirty minutes together

851
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: this season because of all those things you said, guys

852
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: in and out, in and out. So you're just like this,

853
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: relax in, stan Patten, we'll get this going here. Well,

854
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: some people maybe task I know you talked a little

855
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: bit about it on What you Need to Know Today, like, ooh,

856
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: is there something more here? Do they need to shake

857
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: it up? Like Trey saying, what do you think?

858
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: Well, I think the biggest acquisition they're going to make

859
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: is Marcus Smart coming back. He's just their heartbeat. He

860
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: just makes the ball move because sometimes he gets a

861
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: little shot happy, but he knows that he's got to

862
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: drive and find people. And that's what watching Jason Tatum

863
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 2: and the Celtics against the Wizards brought up to me.

864
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: It was just that isolation basketball where it's hey, it's

865
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: my turns, my turns, my turn, everybody trying to get

866
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: off and somebody needs to be the glue guy to

867
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: make it happen. I do like the JJ Reddick acquisition

868
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 2: because at least the man is going to run around,

869
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, that's what he does. He just runs around screen.

870
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: So he's not just gonna be waiting for the ball.

871
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: They need that, they need just they need player movement,

872
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: they need passing, and I think Tristan Thompson's got to

873
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: get more of a role in the middle. But I

874
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: think Smart is really as soon as they get him back. Yeah,

875
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: they're five hundred right now. It's not impressive, but they've

876
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: had so many, so many guys come in and out

877
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 2: of the lineup. Of course, Yeah, they should be looking

878
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: for somebody. It's I don't know, it's something like four

879
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: weeks away. I think the trade deadline is, you know,

880
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: going into March, but they'll start with Smart and then

881
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 2: go from there, I think. Anyways, but that was painful

882
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 2: and I don't know if reading into it. Jalen Brown

883
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 2: was asked postgame about the ball movement and he just

884
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 2: sat there. He just sat there, like me with an

885
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 2: internet malfunction. Was just quiet. It was quiet. He didn't answer.

886
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was frozen or something, but

887
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: he just stopped. He wasn't he literally wasn't frozen, but

888
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: then he took him like five seconds to say no comment.

889
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's pissed at anybody, because usually

890
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 2: number one, he's a well spoken guy. Number two he

891
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 2: ain't afraid of the mic, so it was just a

892
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: little bit shocked for him to do that. Yeah, so

893
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 2: things aren't definitely aren't going good, and their defense is

894
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: not good. They are always a good defensive team, but

895
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: they've they've dropped below tenth and yeah, I think it's

896
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: just a weird year before. The team's lacking cohesion because

897
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: of so many guys in and out. I think that's

898
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 2: a that's a part of it. But we expected the

899
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 2: Celtics to be good because they've been good before. So

900
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have the answers. I don't

901
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 2: know if Bill and his dad have the answers. I

902
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 2: don't think anybody does.

903
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't think doctor Bill is very

904
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: happy here. What's his name is? Is he also Bill Simmons?

905
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: Isn't a Bill Simmons junior? No, it's a I can't

906
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: remember Bill Simmons death his dad. Yeah, he's not happy

907
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: though with Kemba. He's not happy with Tristan Thompson. I mean,

908
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: he's the last thing he wants task. You're saying no,

909
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: Tristan Thompson more of a role, not doctor Simmons. Get

910
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: him out of here. He's been a bum according to him.

911
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Well see, I'm giving them time still because those guys

912
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: haven't played together. They're still good. But Kemba's Kemba's important.

913
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: And if he is like this weird one for twelve

914
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: type shooting one game and then sort of has to

915
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: go on the next but then bounces back, they need

916
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: some consistency from him. But I'm with you on Marcus Smart.

917
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: He's like the Kyle Lowry Draymond Green like he's that guy.

918
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: He's not a superstar by any means, but God helps

919
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: your chances to win a basketball game just with all

920
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: the little things he does and playing hard at least

921
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: playing smart most of the times by jacking up some

922
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: crazy shots. But you know you got to allow him

923
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: some of those. We'll see any any moves to be made.

924
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: And Trey, I didn't really sort of ask you with them,

925
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: is there something that you like besides the reddick or

926
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: is there a big guy? I guess is the best

927
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: way to put it.

928
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 5: It's a great who says no. If the magic decide

929
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 5: to be sellers here finally, Who says no, Kemba Walker

930
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 5: for Vucha Minch and Terrence Ross. That sounds solves kind

931
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 5: of all of the Celtics problems if you ask me.

932
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 5: And they've got some picks that they could throw in

933
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 5: as well. You're talking about a marketable guy going down

934
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 5: to Orlando, a point guard that they haven't had for

935
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,479
Speaker 5: years and years and years. Maybe they get some picks

936
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 5: as well.

937
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: Who says no, Leally, what do you think? I wait,

938
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: we don't have it in the train machine. You know

939
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: you're not gonna fire it up the worlds. Who says no, Yeah,

940
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: he's done his homework.

941
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 3: What do you think so the Magic get Kimba?

942
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: Yep?

943
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I mean I just I just wanted to

944
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 3: I just want what what his his value is outside

945
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 3: the Celtics, given that he is battling some injuries at

946
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 3: the moment.

947
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the Magic drafted col Anthony Atah like,

948
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: but maybe you want him to obviously be tutored a

949
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: little bit because he.

950
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: Would still have two years on a fairly hefty deal

951
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: there too. For Kember, I don't know exactly what it is,

952
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: but I think it's around thirty million per for the

953
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 3: last couple or something like that. So I'm not sure

954
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: if the Magic would I mean depends on those picks. Yeah,

955
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: if the Magic, if the Magic get two firsts, maybe

956
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: out of it as well, They're like, sure, let's do

957
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: it because they need them. The Magic are going nowhere,

958
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: so they may as well move on and see if

959
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 3: they can restock their draft assets.

960
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: Actually, don't Terrence for us on the Celtics ownder. I

961
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: think there's a little something there, a little sparklug off

962
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: the bench, shooting away. Okay, so we got the sorry

963
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: go ahead.

964
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: No, I just had big time. I think. Yeah, the

965
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 2: false is there long term in Orlando too, So that's

966
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: a bit of an issue. A lot of points, a

967
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: lot of gads. But they may take anybody if it's

968
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: if it's attached to draft picks.

969
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, which which the Celtics do have. Okay,

970
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: so buck Celtic's lee, who you got loser this weekend?

971
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, you can have a good weekend and still have

972
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 3: a bad weekend. So I'm going with the Charlotte Hornet.

973
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: Nah, of course not.

974
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Brooklyn Nets, specifically Kevin Durant because

975
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 3: he made his return after sitting out the last week

976
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: with coronavirus protocols. He came back against the Golden State

977
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 3: whereas national broadcast game, we were looking forward to this

978
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 3: one and it's stunk too. They've had two games and

979
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 3: this one was a stinker. Kevin Grant himself was fine,

980
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: had twenty points, but after the game we learned he

981
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 3: has a strained hamstring and he's going to be missing

982
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: for the next two games, which is rather interesting because

983
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 3: a hamstring is one of those injuries I've heard people

984
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 3: say sometimes before it's like being a little bit pregnant.

985
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 3: You can't be just a bit pregnant. You're either got

986
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 3: a hamstring tear or you have it. So I hope

987
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: it's only two games, and I hope it's more just

988
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: precautionary here, because you know, if he can't, you know,

989
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 3: if he misses more time than the Nets obviously are

990
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: going to struggle without him. But when he's on the floor,

991
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 3: I just feel they have so much more control because

992
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant is just like their father. It's like, listen, guys,

993
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 3: we're not going to get crazy. There's not going to

994
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: be too much in fighting or anything like that is

995
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 3: if I'm out here, we're a great team. And you know, again,

996
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: he looked fine in his comeback, but now he sits

997
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: out for a couple of games, and they're on a

998
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: long West coast trip and they've got the Clippers and

999
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 3: the Lakers coming up, So you know, you wonder if

1000
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he'd be resting. I don't think it's

1001
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: a resting. I think he must have tweaked something after

1002
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 3: just not playing for it, because it doesn't make sense

1003
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: to me that they would just say, all right, you

1004
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: sit out these next couple of games. So I hope

1005
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 3: he's back, and I hope he's healthy because we've missed

1006
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 3: so much of Kevin Durant obviously with the achilles injury,

1007
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: missed the entire last season, and now he's missed significant

1008
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 3: games here due to coronavirus. So I hope he's back

1009
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 3: soon and and I hope he's back to playing the

1010
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 3: way he does because he's just a beautiful basketball player

1011
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 3: to watch out on the court.

1012
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: Beautiful indeed, And we can throw it, we can throw

1013
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: in the Anthony Davis obviously injury to the Lakers last night.

1014
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to be ill probably, and

1015
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: we're getting the I believe today for ad just to

1016
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: see how serious of hopefully it's not serious of injury

1017
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: he has to his achilles there. Didn't look good. Didn't

1018
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: look the way he was walking off a little gingerly there.

1019
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: But we'll find out. But even if it's the best

1020
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: possible news, I'm going to assume he's going to be

1021
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: out for a couple of games at the minimum, right task.

1022
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: So now Lebron's asked to do even more. Maybe helps

1023
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: his MVP case, but could that backfire for the Lakers

1024
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: down the line as you get into the playoffs with

1025
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: that heavy load.

1026
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony Davis got a chill, that's for sure. I

1027
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 2: think he's they've won a championship. On the other side,

1028
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, he wants to play. You saw him when

1029
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 2: he was told against the Raptors. I think it was

1030
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: ten days ago now that he had to be taken

1031
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: off the floor. He threw that water bottle. He was pissed.

1032
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 2: He got back on Saturday. There's no way that this

1033
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: is rest. They want him to play bad and they

1034
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: need to play together if they want to win a championship.

1035
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: That's why it feels a little bit like the Clippers

1036
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: situation last year when guys were in and out of

1037
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: line Paul George was hurt, Kawhi Leonard resting a bunch

1038
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 2: of games than Lou Williams, Mantroz Harald a bunch of guys.

1039
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, Kyrie's been out, James Harden hasn't been in shape,

1040
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant in and out of the lineup. It just

1041
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 2: feels like they're never gonna get on the same page.

1042
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: So doing some quick math this morning, those three guys,

1043
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 2: even if they played the rest of the season after

1044
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 2: these two games that Durant's gonna miss, they're gonna play

1045
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: like forty nine games together going into the postseason. That's

1046
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 2: not a lot, It's it's Clippers esk. Although you know

1047
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 2: Paul George and Kawhi only played thirty two games together

1048
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: going into the bubble. So kad I agree with Lee

1049
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: and that he is he's their leader, he keeps everything together,

1050
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 2: and I'm sure he's angry right now, and I'm anger

1051
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: as a basketball fan. I'm gonna we're gonna miss him

1052
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: against the Suns on Tuesday for sure, and hopefully on

1053
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: Thursday we see him against the Lakers because that's when

1054
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: he's due to come back, hopefully, hopefully. We want we

1055
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 2: want to see some KD out there, and the nets

1056
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 2: desperately want to see him. You know, you can hear

1057
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: it in Steve Nash's voice every time he's asked the

1058
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: same breaking question about chemistry and all that. Yeah, we

1059
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: got to get our guys to play together, and it's

1060
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: just not happening enough. But then they go out and

1061
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: then they beat whoever they want. So that's why I

1062
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 2: feel like they can still come out of the East.

1063
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, they need him back on the floor.

1064
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: Only way to build that chemistry is put the reps in,

1065
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: just like us, right, Hey, guys, exactly right, Yeah, if

1066
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: you want some chemistry skates.

1067
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 5: We're getting a little bit of breaking news going on

1068
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 5: around here. Sham'sbamb Oh. The Raptors and Cavaliers are engaged

1069
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 5: in active talks on potential Andre Drummond deal to the

1070
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 5: Toronto slash Tampa Raptors. WOJH follows up saying in a

1071
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 5: report with Brian Windhorse, the Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer

1072
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 5: planning to play center Andre Drummond as they work to

1073
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 5: trade the two time All Star prior to the trade deadline.

1074
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 5: We're going to drumming trade here pretty soon, and it

1075
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 5: seems like it might be those big old Raptors.

1076
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Wow, well that was my loser of the weekend, So

1077
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: that's a great timing there. Sham's woj and Trey Kirby

1078
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 1: with the chemistry. Yeah, baby, I had the Raptors. Okay,

1079
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: this is interesting because I was actually coming on here

1080
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: today to say this. I am done talking about the

1081
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors until they're either over five hundred or they're

1082
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: in the news because of a trade. So maybe we'll

1083
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: be talking about the Raptors over the next couple of

1084
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: days if a drum and trade happens. Because they lose

1085
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: to the Wolves over the weekend on Sunday. There is

1086
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: absolutely no reason to lose to the Wolves right now.

1087
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: I do not care if you're missing og. You do

1088
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: not care who is in there and who isn't brutal loss.

1089
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: They played down to their competition. Yeah, I mean then

1090
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: Lowry realized that and was like, what are we doing

1091
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: here and gave it is all at the end that

1092
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: they just did it all a little too late, and

1093
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: Siakam missed a bunny. I mean Lee. You saw this,

1094
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: you cannot ask for a better shot. He attacked good

1095
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: went to the rim. Nice call by Nick Nurse too.

1096
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: This was after a nice defensive play where they trapped.

1097
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: I think it was Beasley got him to step out

1098
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: of balance even give them a chance to tie this

1099
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: game and siakam and you got like impossible not to

1100
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: sort of feel for the guy, like he's just dropping

1101
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: f bombs, like he couldn't believe he just missed a

1102
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: finger roll. I mean, he's at the rim, A nice

1103
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: d from the what was it McLaughlin, I believe sort

1104
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: of challenging him on the play it made it a

1105
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: little difficult, but still it's a layup and it just

1106
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: like whoop in and out and they obviously go on

1107
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: to lose.

1108
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 3: And this is not good.

1109
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: The Wolves, excuse me, the Raptors for their next five games,

1110
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: or against Milwaukee and Philadelphia for their next five against

1111
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: some of the best teams, and it's just a brutal,

1112
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: brutal us there's no way to put it. So I'm

1113
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: done talking about them until maybe a Drummond trade. So

1114
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: this could be intriguing because they may have to do

1115
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: something to sort of like just had a little injection

1116
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: a little like energy to their season here, and I

1117
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: think a big part of it is this this unfortunately

1118
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: having to play in Tampa. That's guy have some effect

1119
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: on them. They're brutal there. You know, they always beat

1120
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: the Wolves at home. I mean it had been like

1121
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: sixteenth straight. I think in Toronto, Well there goes that.

1122
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: I guess it's home in Tampa that streaks officially over.

1123
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, Drummond, I mean, I'm not like convinced Drummond

1124
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: is solving all the problems and the Raptors are going

1125
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: to the championship by any means. But less I know

1126
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: is that something's got to happen here to sort of

1127
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: like again, kickstart this season again. I know that it

1128
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: had shifted a little bit where they started two and

1129
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: eight and then they had a nice little patch there,

1130
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: but it's sort of back to where they were. They're

1131
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: just playing down to their competition. I don't know anything

1132
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: to add to this Drummond Rumors test. You love it,

1133
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: as a Raps fan, hate it. I mean, it all

1134
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 1: depends who's going back.

1135
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: But right I'm absolutely neutral on it. I know we're

1136
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 2: supposed to have hot takes in this business, but Andre

1137
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: Drummond isn't making them a top four seed if they're

1138
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: not that already. He's just not He's not the most

1139
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 2: impactful when it comes to his numbers. His numbers don't

1140
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: equate to what impact he has on the floor. That's

1141
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 2: just the way it is. I would love to know

1142
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 2: what he's being traded for it because if this is

1143
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 2: getting into an auction amongst NBA teams like it sure

1144
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: feels like the Knicks sat Derek Rose and then they

1145
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 2: got the package that they wanted from the New York

1146
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 2: Next Now Andrea Drummons being set a year after he

1147
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: was traded for a second round pick, that's all he

1148
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: was traded for. What is he going to be traded

1149
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: for now? I just I just hope the Raps don't

1150
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: give up too much because what is he doing for

1151
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,439
Speaker 2: the Toronto Raptors. I as far as like a ball

1152
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: moving big, he's fine. He's an upgrade.

1153
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: He's an upgrade. Absolutely.

1154
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's their biggest hole. So he fills it.

1155
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 2: This is a stop gap, that's what it is. I'm

1156
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: not too pumped. I gotta say. I gotta say it's

1157
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: just as a Homer, it's a nice guy. You know,

1158
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 2: the shoulders are going to be flying free in Tampa,

1159
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 2: no hair needed. It's nice and warm down there. But

1160
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: are you pumped? I'm not super pumped.

1161
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1162
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to figure out what the deal is

1163
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: in the trade NBA dot Com right now. I mean,

1164
00:52:58,600 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: could it be Lowry?

1165
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely could? We said if that happens, though,

1166
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: it's likely a third team.

1167
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 3: I think because the way I'm looking at it, it's

1168
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 3: like it's like, I mean, I guess they would love

1169
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 3: to move on from Baines, but he's only making seven million,

1170
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 3: So you know they need to the salaries for Drummond

1171
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 3: and Lowry work pretty much perfectly, and then you would

1172
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 3: just basically make Fred your point guard, taking filling in

1173
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 3: that spot from Kyle. Lowry is the full time guy,

1174
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 3: and Lowry the last year of his deal.

1175
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I said it to you last week.

1176
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: It would have to be for Drummond. If you're taking

1177
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: Lowry out of the mix here and you're not involving

1178
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: siakam or og or Van Vliet, which they're not, it's

1179
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: got to be like Nora Beans, Maca and like another one.

1180
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 3: And that even that still leaves you so short.

1181
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: Really, I think if you get up to four you

1182
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 1: can do it with for Drummond.

1183
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: But.

1184
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I mean

1185
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 3: there's always those things are always like they don't have

1186
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 3: to be exact. I know, they have to be close

1187
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 3: and I don't know if maybe they can garnish with

1188
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 3: some pigs or something like that. But it sort of

1189
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: feels to me like it might be lowry, which is what.

1190
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: A tasty trade second round here, But why would you

1191
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 2: give up lowry if you're trying to be good?

1192
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1193
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 3: Well, but but hell is he going to make it happen?

1194
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 3: I mean that's the thing, Like I.

1195
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 5: Get going to be the bag of beans, just like

1196
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 5: Skeet said, all those guys he listened.

1197
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, hold on, hold on, but the calves, I'm

1198
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: in all honesty, if I'm getting norm and then I'm

1199
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: getting like whatever, like I'm just something like it's like

1200
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: that's not a brutal for I know I don't have

1201
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: in your long term plans.

1202
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 3: I agree, but I'm just trying to I'm trying to

1203
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 3: see if it even works like that. That's what I'm saying.

1204
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: They'll figure it out.

1205
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 5: We'll hear about it. But to me, it tells us

1206
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 5: a couple of things. One, the Calves are done. They're

1207
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 5: selling right now. They've been dropping out of the playoff picture.

1208
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 5: They're playing a really tough schedule right now. There was

1209
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 5: some question or they're going to try this again with

1210
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 5: Andre Drummond. Seemed like no, definitely going to be no now.

1211
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 5: But it also tells us the Raptors are buyers. There

1212
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 5: are teams out there. Despite the fact that there are

1213
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 5: only five teams above five hundred in the Eastern Conference,

1214
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 5: the Raptors are talking themselves into trying to make a

1215
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 5: run at the fourth seed. Right If they're going to

1216
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 5: be bringing in one of the biggest names on the

1217
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 5: trade deadline trading block, they're certainly going for it. At

1218
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 5: least they're keeping him away from a team like the

1219
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 5: Nets or from the Celtics, so they would be certainly

1220
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 5: thinking they have a chance at home court advantage in

1221
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 5: the first round.

1222
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: I'd be thinking, yeah, and the East is still open

1223
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 2: as much as it seems like the door is shut

1224
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: for the Raptors. Yeah, I'm not buying them as a

1225
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: top seed, but just as a bigger picture, I think

1226
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: the East is still very open. Considering you know, the

1227
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: Sixers aren't proving commodity, the Celtics are failing. The nets

1228
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 2: are what they are right now. You know, they're wraps.

1229
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know if they can charge through that door.

1230
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: But I'd like to see a guy Andre Drummond traded

1231
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: one year for a second round pick and then the

1232
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: next year for five guys. It's probably like the biggest

1233
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: upgrade or in NBA history or something.

1234
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, and if it's for all these

1235
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: guys to make the books work, like guys are gonna

1236
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: have to be dropped obviously from the Cavs roster and

1237
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: stuff like that, or a third team has to be

1238
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: involved somehow. I remember I went back and checked my

1239
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: notes Hereily it would be Norman Powell, Beans, Pat McCaw

1240
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: and Matt Thomas that would work. And then of course,

1241
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: you know whatever sort of pick. Drummonds only twenty seven too.

1242
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that. It feels like a thirty five

1243
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: year old to me. But he's and he's obviously put

1244
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: up great numbers and it's been really solid for them.

1245
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, Trey, that means they're moving on.

1246
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Raps are buyers. This is exciting. Here's my question. Do

1247
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: we do an emergency podcast If Andre Drummond is trading, let's.

1248
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 3: See who, Let's see who. The deal is full fit?

1249
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's yeah, it's like okay, Lowery's traded. Absolutely,

1250
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: I think we do. But for what I just said,

1251
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: the norm and the bag of beans deal, probably.

1252
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 2: It's probably not. If it's anything like the stream team,

1253
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: half of us will do the emergency podcast. Half of

1254
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 2: the people in the team stream thank Andre Drummonds and

1255
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: All Star Defensive play of the Year. The other half

1256
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 2: thank the year. Yeah, probably something I was playing like.

1257
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 2: The other half well, the other yeah, I'm with you. Hey,

1258
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm on the other side where it's he's solid, but

1259
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 2: we've seen this movie before. The other half thank he's

1260
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 2: not winning any games. So you know, maybe half of

1261
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 2: us do the emerged pod.

1262
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: That's that's what you want in a trade. If it

1263
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: goes through, you want half the people saying this is

1264
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: a horrible drum This is a great trade. Look at

1265
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: that's perfect.

1266
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 2: What do you think, break the break the break the

1267
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: tie here, j Andre Drummond Emergency pod. We are doing

1268
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 2: a podcast?

1269
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what wouldn't I got nothing better to do?

1270
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 3: We're seeing a good little battle here between Shams and

1271
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 3: was as well, because Shams are saying the Raptors and

1272
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 3: Caves are engaged in active talks on a potential deal.

1273
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 3: Wo WASH's last tweet is Cleveland is starting to gauge

1274
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 3: the market, Andre Drummond, but there are no serious ongoing

1275
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 3: trade discussions with any team now tell ESPN and so yeah, interesting.

1276
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: Interesting who you got? All right? So look, hey, we

1277
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: might be back later today for the emergency Andre Drummond too.

1278
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: The Raptors trade. We will, we'll find out, we'll find out.

1279
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: We do have tweeted the Night still, but before that,

1280
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsors. Great stuff. Okay, time for tweeted.

Speaker 2: The night, tweet out the night. Wow, there's some.

1282
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,200

1283
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: Night here on Monday?

1284
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yeah?

1285
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: It's all blurb, but I'll take it because I got

1286
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: a good one. It's actually circling back to something we

1287
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: talked about on the Drop podcast and had started even

1288
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: earlier us as part of like the Athletic Podcast Universe

1289
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: asking you guys, if we were in the Marvel universe,

1290
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: which characters would we be? And we answered for each

1291
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: other and we had some great answers. So you're seeing

1292

1299
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: man that was a deep hole there in the Marvel characters.

1300
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: But that's who he is. I'm Thanos, very creepy with

Speaker 1: I'll get with the beard is is just incredible work.

1305
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: So that's again at I'm Stepan Vassilev on Twitter, always

1306

00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 1: that's a that's who we are. How did everybody feel

1308
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: about their their looks? Slee? Would you think of Drax there?

1309
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop looking at. I'm sorry just six.

1310
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, I gotta get a wig man,

1311
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 2: I guess.

01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: And that was that was a big right, that was fat.

Speaker 2: Thor that's fat thor still sexy just like me.

Speaker 1: You never lose it, never lose it, Trey, have you

1315
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: been just saying I am groot all weekend long walk

1316
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: to the kids. Actually, people said for me, if I

1317
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: really was groot, which first of all, I never realized,

1318
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 1: it looks so much like a tree man.

1319
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 5: That was just like a flawless photo shop, barely anything changed.

1320
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 5: But instead of saying I am groot if I were group,

1321
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 5: the people on Twitter said that my catchphrase would just

1322
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 5: be saying les are back every single time I talk.

1323
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 2: What you know?

1324
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Pretty much? True? Yeah, and uh, Tassie look cool? Is

1325
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: absorbing man, even though I have still no idea who

1326
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: the hell that is? Yeah?

1327
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: Oh, he always just says I am paper towel because

1328
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 2: he's absorbed. I what is he in a movie?

1329
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: I think he's part of Shield or something. I don't know.

1330
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Ben Diesel, somebody said, didn't Trace say that?

1331
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 5: I thought Ben Diesel that tasks looked like Dominic Toretto

1332
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 5: from the Fast and Furious.

1333
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 2: With the tank top somebody just said I looked like

1334
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Chase Serrano here in the in the team stream which

1335
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 2: stream team team stream, which is totally true.

1336
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Oh man, okay, well absorbing man you are I love

1337
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: its great stuff again. Thank you, Stefan Vassala. That was very,

1338
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: very funny. Pick the results from Friday night. Way back

1339
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: to Friday night. It was the Bucks Jazz game. Jazz

1340
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: were favored by one and a half. I told you,

1341
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I said, look, Friday Night Jazz, that's a victory guaranteed.

1342
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Thought they would then lose following it up and then

1343
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: we would have to like rag on them here on Monday.

1344
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: But no, they continue the hot streak. So Trey got

1345
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: it right. Lee got it right. I got right. Test swerved.

1346
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: You know. We didn't want the four man team picking

1347
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: all the same team. So task is four and six,

1348
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Trace four and six, and Lee and I are five

1349
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: and five, so very very close. I think there's like,

1350
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: what seven games on today tonight, I should say, know

1351
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,439
Speaker 1: d games, which is a little weird being the holiday test.

1352
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 3: But who do we have?

1353
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: What's our game?

1354
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be an emotional game for John

1355
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Wall going back to Washington for the first time as

1356
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: a member of the Houston Rockets. He played them earlier

1357
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: this year, but that was in Houston. He said this

1358
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 2: past week, according to our Fred Katz on The Athletic,

1359
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 2: that he still watches the Wizards games. Who wouldn't want

1360
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to watch Bradley Beial, as he said, and he voted

1361
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 2: for Bradley Beial for the All Star Game, which I

1362
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 2: find kind of strange, you know, you think about it,

1363
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: because okay, players can vote for who they want, but

1364
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 2: they vote as a fan and then later on they

1365
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 2: actually vote as players. Yeah, double vote, double vote. Yeah.

1366
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1367
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 2: We have a lot of problems with voting in this country.

1368
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this is something else. Anyway, So John Wall

1369
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 2: going back Washington's favor by one and a half points

1370
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 2: over Houston, so basically I pick them, and the Rockets

1371
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 2: will definitely be without Christian what I think will be

1372
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 2: without Victor Old but if I'm not mistaken, but the

1373
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 2: Wizards will be without Russell Westbrook most likely because this

1374
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 2: is the second game of a back to back, so

1375
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 2: it's really just John Wall against the City of Washington.

1376
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 2: Who you got, Trey start us up.

1377
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 5: I like the revenge game aspect, no doubt about it,

1378
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 5: especially with that great piece dropping at the Athletic You know,

1379
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 5: you got to show up after you're talking about the

1380
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 5: team that you were watching. So I don't like that

1381
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 5: Christian Wood isn't playing. The Rockets have really struggled without

1382
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 5: Christian Wood.

1383
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: But gimme Houston.

1384
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 5: I'm here for the revenge game, all right, Skates.

1385
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I'm excited actually to watch this one.

1386
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: It's on NBA TV. I think tonight at seven, I

1387
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: love the Wall versus Beale their buds. You know, look,

1388
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: they're both gonna try and put up big numbers. Give

1389
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: me Washington. I can't believe it that I'm taking the Wizards,

1390
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: but I think Beal will't play Wall. I think he's

1391
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a monster game in this on you know,

1392
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: quote unquote national television here. So I'll take the Wizards

1393
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 1: to stay hot and win another one here after beating

1394
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: what was it the Celtics in their last game.

1395
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 2: I gotta watched it. We got a splitter, Lee, what

1396
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 2: do you got?

1397
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the Rockets have been playing terrible basketball lately,

1398
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 3: but I just feel John wall Is gonna want this

1399
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 3: one badly tonight. Russell Westbrook doesn't play in the second

1400
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 3: night of back to Max, but I don't think he's

1401
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 3: been officially.

1402
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I wouldn't be surprised.

1403
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 3: It was a day game yesterday they had a win.

1404
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 3: If Westbrook's like, sorry, I'm playing this one, so I

1405
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 3: suspect her. But I just feel John wall Is gonna

1406
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 3: really want this one badly. It's such a close line.

1407
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 2: I'll take the Rockets, all right, I'll make it a

1408
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:33,439
Speaker 2: full splitter. I'm going Washington Wizards. Who knows, who knows?

1409
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so Washington's he's got a win by two or more.

1410
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Of course for Tasina to get the victory. Lee and

1411
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: Trey going with the Rockets. Speaking of the Wizards in Westbrook,

1412
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: I forgot to slip this in because I think I

1413
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: got a little distracted with the Drummond trade. Rummers there,

1414
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: but just a mini loser of the weekend to Westbrook

1415
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: despite getting the victory. Did you guys see him miss

1416
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: the airball free throw?

1417
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 2: Ley?

1418
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: I had to show you this. We're showing everybody on

1419
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: the stream team right now. Westbrook out the line. Okay, whatever,

1420
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna knock. He's not the greatest retoc shooter as it is,

1421
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: but man, he leaves this one way short and then

1422
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: a fantastic reaction from Russ. Can do it.

1423
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 3: That's the way to do it, say on, something's wrong here?

1424
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 3: That wasn't me. Yeah, so someone's messing with me here. Yeah,

1425
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 3: I've seen a couple of those. Actually, Lebron had a couple.

1426
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 3: I think we didn't have one real bad one. And

1427
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 3: uh I remember someone else here in the season, like

1428
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 3: a good play. I had a nample. Maybe we should

1429
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 3: not tracking those as well as wedgies.

1430
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: No, boy, I did not just get a bad shots.

1431
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Didn't Kyrie have a wide open three pointer in the

1432
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: corner versus the Warriors on Saturday night and clank it

1433
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,479
Speaker 1: off the side? Did you guys see that? It was someone?

1434
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: It must have been the first half, just like he

1435
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: did the old like put his hand up like yep, sorry, yeah,

1436
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: let's meet. Just hit the side of the backboard like

1437
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: Paul George. Yep, sorry about that, very very weird. I

1438
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: guess it slips out of the hand every once in

1439
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: a while. But yeah, Russ dumbfounded. That'll be in whoopsies.

1440
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: That'll be in the bloops for sure later this week.

1441
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Just his reaction alone. Okay, fun show. I'm sure we
