1

Speaker 3: Of course, we'll talk about it on tomorrow's podcast. But

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: we got some games to break down, some big storylines.

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: We'll start with Embiids scoring thirty nine again, no James

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: harden in this one didn't matter. Seventy six Ers beat

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 3: the Wolves one, seventeen to ninety four. This was our

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: featured game on playback. Thanks everybody that joined us last

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: night as we bounced around the association. But were your

59
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: takeaways from another Monster Embiid game here and the Sixers

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: continuing to.

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: Win schedule loss they say, no, thank you. Five game

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: road trip here they went four and one in a

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: seven days back to back. A few of us figured

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid, who recently said that I should be sitting

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: out weeks, as the doctors told me He's coming and

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: playing every single night back to back. Yeah, forty plus

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: the night before, then thirty nine in a game where

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: they got separation in the second quarter and then that

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: third quarter where Embiid was a twenty two in that quarter.

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: My goodness, the threes raining down, and it's it's funny

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: how every star, every NBA players got selective memory. Rudy

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: Gobert said after the game. You know, he started hitting

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: threes and then they took me out, and then then

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: he really went off. He was just he was going

75
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: off all night, Rudy, every every single play, it didn't matter.

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing else to say other than Maxi obviously helped out,

77
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: you know, subbing in for James Harden who was sitting

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: this one out. But really it was an MVP performance

79
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: by Joel Embids. It's as simple as that. The guy

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: was just a monster. If he's banging home going four

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: to four from three plus doing whatever he wants inside

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: the lane, I mean he's serious. He's serious about this,

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: this MVP trek. Even if he doesn't he claims he

84
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be, as he told Chris Hanes after

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: the game, he wants it. He definitely wants it, and

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: he's showing it by playing almost every single night, in

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: every single game here, even during a tough sled where

88
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: he says he's injured.

89
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just a dominant performance by Embiid. On

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: one side, Gobert couldn't stop him, and go Beart still,

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: even if he's taken a step back this season, a

92
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: really good defender, and then offensively, go Beart had nothing

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: for Embiid. He could not even really think about scoring

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: after the first couple of minutes there. But we've talked

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot about the Sixers' schedule and how tough it's

96
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: going to be for the last fifteen games of the season,

97
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: how much they're on the road, all the good teams

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: they have to play. Maybe that's a silver lining because

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: if Joelle Embiid can find out a way to line

100
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: up games against former Award winners, he might win MVP

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: because once he sees another big name on the schedule,

102
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: he circles it and he wants to go out and dominate.

103
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he did last night. I also

104
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: think an important win for the Sixers after getting a

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: no defense win against the Pacers, to come back and

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: really play solid defense against the Timberwolves. Since January first,

107
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: the Sixers are second in offense, great they score all

108
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the time, but only twentieth in defense. Last night, though,

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: they held the Timberwolves to thirty nine and a half

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: percent from the field, their lowest performance of the season,

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: and Minnesota only scored forty two points in the paint.

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: They're eighth in the league. They averaged fifty four a game.

113
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: And Beid was locking it down inside and then obviously

114
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: dominant offensively as well.

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said four for four from deep, also nine

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: for nine at the line. He is now a perfect

117
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: twenty eight for twenty eight from the free throw line

118
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: over his last two games. Here and Stattitude says the

119
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: only other center in NBA history to make at least

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: twenty eight free throws without a miss over span of

121
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: two games is Moses Malone, who hit thirty over a

122
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: two game span in nineteen eighty seven. So, yeah, he's

123
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 3: knocking those down at the line. He's next to unstoppable.

124
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: And he's hitting the three pointer there. Yeah, Rudy. Rudy

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: is like, I'll come out, I'll try to, but I

126
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: can't come that far. We almost have to live with

127
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: you shooting that. And he was banging them thirteen for

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: twenty two overall. They ended the first half on a

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: monster run and then pushed it up to like, what

130
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: did it get up to a nearly thirty point lead,

131
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: the Sixers did over the Wolves and then ran away

132
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: with this And now that's their nineteenth road win this season.

133
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: Nineteen and twelve on the road for Sixers here, so

134
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: two upcoming home games and then you said it before,

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: tasks seven of their next eight on the road. But

136
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: they have like the fourth best road record in the league.

137
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: They're one of the elite teams on the road, so

138
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 3: probably not too afraid of going out there and having

139
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: to string together some more wins to try to you know,

140
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: leap the Celtics or even somehow catch the Bucks there

141
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: who's creating a little bit of space at the top of.

142
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: These Yeah, they have four more losses than the Bucks,

143
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: so it will be tough to catch them. There is some

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: hope for them to catch the Celtics. They do have,

145
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: as you said, just as an elite road record as

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: those teams, which is really really impressive. Here, they just

147
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: beat on this five game road trip, the Heat. They

148
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: snapped the bucks sixteen game winning streak, that Pacers fun

149
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: game where they allowed one hundred and forty three points,

150
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: and then the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have been playing solid enough,

151
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: they had one three straight. The most impressive thing to me,

152
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: and why I always kind of questioned the Sixers team,

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: is that when they went up big in that second quarter,

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: they got that fifth, they had that fifteen ozer run

155
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: to go into half time. They always take their foot

156
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: off the pedal always, they always do, and they really

157
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: crushed them in that third quarter. That was just a

158
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: crushing as you said, got up big, and yeah, holding

159
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: a Wolve team that doesn't have a great offense. Let's

160
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: be honest, they kind of win with defense. They're sort

161
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: of the opposite of the Sixers. But in this game,

162
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: they really couldn't get anything going. And Doc said it

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: and Tray said it. The points in the paint was

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: where they stopped them.

165
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: Really, let's spin that embiid MVP worthy performance into the

166
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: MVP debate here, because yesterday we had ESPN analysts Kendrick

167
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: Perkins and JJ Reddick getting into a heated MVP debate

168
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: over racial bias. On first take, I believe it was

169
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 3: that the show they were on there yesterday going nuts,

170
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: and then this had Twitter popping off, everybody sharing their

171
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: opinions on what the conversation those guys were getting into

172
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: on first, take the MVP debate in general. Has it

173
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: gotten out of control? So we had to hear all

174
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: of your opinions as well. Why not will be the

175
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: last ones to the dance here? But what'd you think of,

176
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: you know, either the discussion Perk and JJ were having

177
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: or just what's going on here with fifteen to twenty

178
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: games left for your three front runners in Jokic, Embiid

179
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: and Yannis.

180
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: In the conversation, heated is the right word. I mean,

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: it's really getting heated right now. A lot of fights

182
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: about basically everything except for what's happening on the basketball court.

183
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: I thought Kendrick Perkins actually made some really solid points,

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: even if he didn't necessarily have the lightest touch when

185
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: he was doing it. Sure, I do think there probably

186
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: is a little bit of an implicit bias in advanced

187
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: statistics and how much more they factor into MVP voting

188
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: these days, just because you know, advanced stats by and

189
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: large come from mostly white front offices and that's kind

190
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: of how they filtered down into NBA media. You also

191
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: look at the fact that Jokic likely is gonna win

192
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: his third MVP straight this season. That's an anomaly. Also

193
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: won an MVP on a sixth seed last year. That's

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: also an anomaly. But then with regards to this season,

195
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: he's having his best season. He's the best offensive player

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: on the best team in the Western Conference, and they're

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: maybe the best offensive team in the league. So I

198
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like it's kind of hard to

199
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean, em beat as an MVP player this season

200
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: as well. Giannis is an MVP player this season as well.

201
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: But k also deserves it this season, just like he

202
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: has the past couple of seasons. The problem is he

203
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't have won last year. He shouldn't have he was

204
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: a sixth seed, but everybody gave it to him because

205
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: he was better his MVP season. I was personally honest.

206
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: That being said, I don't know. I was happy to

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: see JJ and Kendrick Perperkins kind of squashed the beef

208
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: afterwards because I think they realized we probably took this

209
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a little overboard, considering we're just talking about basketball awards.

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, it was wonderful at the end of it,

211
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: and Molly Kurham said, I wish we had a big

212
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: group hug because they just yeah, we're basically said, I

213
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: like how Kendrick perkinsaid, JJ, thank you for coming on

214
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: and addressing the elephant in the room, and that's how

215
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: they ended. The first comment by Kendrick Perkins about Steve Nash,

216
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Dirk Noovitski, and Nikola Jokic being the only MVP winner

217
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety to be outside of the top ten

218
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: in scoring essentially because they're white, was wrong and Nash,

219
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: let's look at what happened in these years. Nash revolutionized

220
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: the game. Everybody's copying that offense. Dirk was on a

221
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: sixty seven win team, and Yokic won that first one

222
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: because he's just damn awesome. But the context isn't fun right.

223
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: The pretext gets all the headlines. Context is for losers.

224
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: Nobody wants nobody wants to actually look into what was

225
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: going on there. Of course there's bias. I think the

226
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: biggest thing that's happening right now is a winner like Jokic.

227
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: It is about the advanced stats, and that's just different

228
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: the way Kendrick Perkins is looking at it. It used

229
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: to be more about straight up storylines, straight up best

230
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: player on the best team. Yeah, well, of course, of course,

231
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: yeah that that that's a big part of it. Uh And, yeah,

232
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: there is definitely the jump from the six seed to

233
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: the one seed is different. Last year is is where

234
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: you could have not given it to them. I get

235
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: that that's totally true as far as this season goes, though,

236
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: the more NB jumps in, the more I think that

237
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: helps Yannis because there could be a a an MB

238
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: versus Jokic. Let's look at the numbers, let's look at

239
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: the rankings. Default, who's the best player in a series

240
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: that you bank ono? So I do think though that

241
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: the stats thing is kind of changing the way we

242
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: look at m VP. Just all of the stats for

243
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: the for this for this particular year here a guy

244
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: winning three in a row is it's very rare, but

245
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: it could be unless we swing the pendulum back the

246
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: other way. Just best player on the best team. Uh.

247
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: And Yokic is not going to be on the best team.

248
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: Most likely he's gonna be the best team in the

249
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Western Conference.

250
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: But it's close.

251
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: Has a few games back.

252
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said it, you slipped it in there. I

253
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: mean this, this is definitely feels more heated this year, uh,

254
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: for for a bunch of reasons. And it's okay, by

255
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: the way to acknowledge that racial bias exists in Jokic

256
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: could be to you still deserving an m VP. Those

257
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: can both be true, absolutely, but it's the criteria used

258
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: for m VP, and I think Kendrick was trying to

259
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: make this point. The goalposts seem to get moved, and

260
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: who is moving them? Majority of white voters in this

261
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: It feels like this is Perkins saying this. That can

262
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: also be true, and we just get into this. What

263
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: is MVP? What does it mean to you?

264
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: The vote post change for you, for me, for everybody

265
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: just votes on what they want.

266
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, your definition of the most valuable. But Perkins, he

267
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: kicked off this specific argument last week when he said,

268
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: you'll Kich was stat padding. I don't even think we

269
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 3: addressed that comment on this podcast because that, to me

270
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: was like, what are you talking about of any guy

271
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: in the league. I think he's the opposite of stat padding.

272
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: I don't know about that really. How whoever shoots he never,

273
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: I don't wouldn't a stat pattern would be someone that shoot.

274
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Disagree he's stat padding his his feel goal percentages, like

275
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: he could take as many shots as EmpId if he

276
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: wanted to, and he would shoot Basically the same percentage

277
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: as of meat. He would start taking worse shop.

278
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: But maybe he would if if we haven't seen that

279
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: every time he gets a triple double, which means he's

280
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: playmaking the way he plays and all that they win.

281
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: And if the whole point is to win, why wouldn't

282
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: you continue to do on fourteen shots a game and

283
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: obviously a ton of assists and take.

284
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Care of them.

285
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: That's the part I don't get.

286
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Oh, it's different ways. It's honestly different ways. The field

287
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: goal percentage factor is huge into advanced stats and people

288
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: talking about EFG and all this kind of stuff. If

289
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: you want a guy who's a takeover player, it's not Jokic,

290
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: but it could be. We see him take a ton

291
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: of shots when it comes to playoff time. He just

292
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: doesn't do it during the regular season because that's not

293
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: his style.

294
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: What do you think about that? The stat padding call

295
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: out from Perk that TK sees a little truth in that.

296
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: I was perplexed by.

297
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: I don't think he's padding stats. I think that's how

298
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: he sees winning basketball played. Now, I mean I compared him.

299
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: We discussed. The only injection into this MVP conversation we

300
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: really had was I did a little short comparing him

301
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: to Steve Nash because Nash didn't want to shoot. Yoki

302
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: shoots way more and Nash one of his biggest regrets

303
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: is not shooting as much. And he would have loved

304
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: to look him back be a little bit more steffish

305
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: and when he comes down to the playoffs, that's where

306
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: it will really bring true. Like if Jokic wants to

307
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: win games, if he's gonna shoot and lower that percentage,

308
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: I just think he knows how to win and he

309
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: just takes the shots when he needs to. It is great.

310
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: Like he shoots the three to four shots a quarter,

311
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: he doesn't shoot a ton. It is well, but they

312
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: went they're in the first seat.

313
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: Lebron did it too. Like as Lebron got further and

314
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: further into his career, specifically with the heat, remember like

315
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: he would stop taking three pointers because it wasn't a

316
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: good shot for him. He would only take him when

317
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: they were wide open. He was working on being the

318
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: most efficient player he could. That's what Jokic is doing too.

319
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: It is good. I mean, being efficient is a good player.

320
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: But look what Yannis did at the start of the

321
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: season with drew in and out of the lineup, Middleton

322
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: missing a bunch of time. He had the biggest usage

323
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: rate of his career and some of the worst numbers

324
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: of his career. When we're saying has Giannis fallen off?

325
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Can he not carry a team anymore? Jokic could definitely

326
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: do more from a scoring perspective.

327
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: What do you think about this tweet from HB Basketball

328
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: Matt Moore said, quote, You'll Kitch literally not wanting to

329
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: win the m VP is reason enough not to vote

330
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: for him. I felt the same way about sixth Man

331
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: for Igodala. If a player doesn't want it, don't vote

332
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: for him. They should have the choice to opt out,

333
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: and You'll Kitch has made that desire clear. End quote

334
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: from Matt Moore. There, That one caught me by surprise.

335
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: What do you think if a guy so wi fi

336
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: give it to another guy? I don't hate.

337
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: Fine, I guess you could just sort of on record.

338
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean a lot, I mean part of it he

339
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: actually does want Yes, yeah, I mean a lot of

340
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: these guys like the natural thing to say is yeah,

341
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't care about m vps. I want

342
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: to win games. I mean, that's that's the most cliche

343
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: like sports answer across all sports of all time, and

344
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: it should be in a weird way if you want

345
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: to be like a leader and it's like it is

346
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: about winning games. But I'm with you TK like they

347
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: want they want to win MVP, especially if winning MVPs

348
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: because the stats who do helps your teams win games?

349
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: Goes hand and in a hit. But what do you

350
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: think if he doesn't want it, let's move off of him,

351
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: tests don't give it to him, or now we're gonna

352
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: spike give it to him.

353
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: He doesn't want it, sure, I don't know. If he

354
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: doesn't want it, then yeah, don't win so many games?

355
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: I guess is the problem. Listen, if if you want

356
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: to just be a basic best player on the best team,

357
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's coming for it. I was wrong.

358
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: He is a lot. They are a lot closer to

359
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: the top. They're only one game back of the bucks

360
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: than I expected. But it's it's a fun debate to

361
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: have because there is no definition. Best player on the

362
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: best team is too simple, too boring. But that would

363
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: be jestakumpo right now he's third.

364
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: Best player on the best team. It irks me. And

365
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: here's why. If your team is ten games clear of

366
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 3: the next best team in the league if you're a

367
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: sixty seven win team, like.

368
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: I said, your criteria.

369
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I'm just pointing this out, Like,

370
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 3: but this best team when the teams are like fifty

371
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: two wins and fifty one wins and fifty wins, I mean,

372
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: it's like you're not a clear cut best team in

373
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: my opinion, You're all just good teams. Seriously, that's where

374
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: making dark. Winning sixty seven that's like, okay, that's an

375
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: incredible amount of regular season wins, you know, and much

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: better than the next team that then I can sort

377
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: of get behind. But like that, this like criteria gets

378
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: thrown out the window. To me, when all these teams

379
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: are basically the same record wise.

380
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: They're similar, you know, they're gonna end up at like

381
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: a fifty seven to fifty eight win team, fifty nine

382
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: win team. Those are big numbers. Yeah, the narrative is

383
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: way more fun and honestly, Annison Jokic have very similar

384
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: narratives that Middleton was has been out and has not

385
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 2: been himself for a lot of the season. They've had

386
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: lots of injuries, and Jokic the same with Jamal Murray

387
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: and Michael Porter has been out for nearly half the

388
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: seas and so they've they've got fun stories. But I

389
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: can understand there's just this. It's it's the number one,

390
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: it's the fatigue to vote a guy three years in

391
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: a row. I think Perk kind of implied that as well.

392
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: It's just it doesn't happen, hasn't happened for a long time.

393
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: M hmm until now.

394
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: Right, and he's he's white. Suddenly we're like, well, where's

395
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: the voter fatigue that we usually talk about. That's you know,

396
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: and you may be a fair point from Perk.

397
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: Now, but the numbers and the way we look at

398
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: numbers and the way voters look at numbers is changing.

399
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I'm guilty in pre season podcasts here

400
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: going there's no way this guy can win a third

401
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: MVP unless there was an unless they have the best

402
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: record in the league and he has a better year

403
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 3: than he did the year before in terms of the numbers,

404
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 3: and I guess averaging a triple double the efficiency like

405
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: and it just seemed far fetched that would be the case.

406
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: But he's done it, and it hasn't done it.

407
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: So and I think the pendulum miss swinging from a

408
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: guy who won on the sixth seed to a top seeds,

409
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 2: it's gonna to somebody way higher in the standings. It's

410
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: just hard to It just doesn't happen very often. It's

411
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: an anomaly that a guy won in the six seed.

412
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: Westbrook did it. The next year after Westbrook, it went

413
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: to James Harden in a one seed, So I think

414
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 2: that's a part of it as well. Voter fatigue for

415
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: low seeds that exists.

416
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 3: I think one of my favorite tweets about this whole

417
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: thing Jay Caspian Kang. He says, quote, I think the

418
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: NBA fan base does a good job with ranking players

419
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: according to their relative greatness, and MVP awards are a factor,

420
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 3: but they're not everything. So Jokic could win three MVPs

421
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: and if the Bucks win the title, let's say this year,

422
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: there isn't a single person who will say Yokic is

423
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: greater than Yannis, you know what I mean. He went

424
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: on to say, I only bring this up because there

425
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: seems to be some conflation between one three MVPs and

426
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: current greatest player, which Jokic basically needs to win the

427
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: title to even be in that conversation. And he thinks

428
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: Kang does most fans, I imagine feel this way. I

429
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: agree with that. It's like how I fell about Steve

430
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: Nash too. The back to back MVPs. You could bait

431
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: whether he deserved both of them, probably not. There was

432
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: cases for Shack for sure, and he is still I

433
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: think correctly like ranked because he never won a title,

434
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: didn't go on to get the big one like that's

435
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: and and so that that bumps you down in the

436
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: you know, grand scheme of things. And I think that's

437
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: totally fine to get back to back MVP winner. There's

438
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: only what nine of them in NBA history, But that

439
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 3: doesn't mean Steve Nash is the ninth greatest player of

440
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: all time, Like far from it. It is my favorite

441
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: player of all time. So I just thought that was

442
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: a good point. But maybe that's too nuanced. I don't know,

443
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: it is wild. Yeah, what a debate we keep going

444
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: for hours. I know people have been going off in

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: the stream team since we posted this show, weighing in

446
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: on the MVP discussion. Is it We don't have a

447
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: real vote, of course, but like, is it still up

448
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: in the air to you? Oh yeah, yeah? As to

449
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: who will get this to who.

450
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: It all comes down to March twenty seventh.

451
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: Okay, Johannest can't even he can't even snatch this.

452
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I would like to think so. Uh yeah,

453
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: when you're kind of widely agreed that you're the best

454
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: player in the league, you're not winning MVPs. That is

455
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: a little weirdo to me.

456
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: But that's happened across It all goes back generation.

457
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan should have won six straight MVPs when he

458
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: was playing, but they gave one to Barkley. They gave

459
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: one him alone, uh, because of voter fatigue. But I

460
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: think I think that March twenty seventh game six Ers Nuggets,

461
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: that's a huge, one, huge, big narrative game.

462
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 3: Right around the corner. Now, all right, let's keep it going.

463
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: Don't worry. We'll be talking more about the m v

464

Speaker 2: Yes, yes, a lot of them. I hope you don't

469
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: have eating fatigue.

470
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: I do not, I do not at all. I ate

471
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: so many pistachios last night. I'm still full ridiculous, Like

472
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: salt pepper. I was like, I'll have a couple of

473
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: these couple thousand. I was so ready.

474
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 3: What do you do when you find one that's a

475
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: tough one to crack?

476
00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: You give one try? Nope, sorry, maard it to the game.

477
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to crack everyone because oh yeah, yeah.

478
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: Well I mean some of them. The nut meat falls

479
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: out on its own. Yeah, and that's just like a

480
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: manna from heaven.

481
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: The nut meat. I've never heard it called that.

482
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: That's what our friends Trader Joe's called him, right, but

483
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: really it's on the package, doesn't say that Joe I

484
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: did a wild one, all right.

485
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: Powell Gasol, guys, he became the twelfth Lakers player to

486
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: have his jersey retired last night. Did you catch any

487
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: of this either live or the highlights? This morning? Had

488
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 3: the ten minute or so?

489
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: Uh six, I was just sick. Well six minutes of

490
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: his speech, that's all I watched. Okay, six minutes. Great

491
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: to see him. He cleans up real nice. Great to

492
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: see uh Mark. I haven't seen Marcus Sool in a while.

493
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: I think Audrey Gasol was also.

494
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: People were pointing out he didn't dress up enough.

495
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: For some Oh I didn't see it friends, very casual.

496
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: That's fine.

497
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 2: Yes, it was. It was really really nice. It was

498
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: very nice, and it's nice to see Powe beside be

499
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: up there as the jerseys hung up there. It's so nice.

500
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: And there was that Vanessa Bryant sort of introducing the

501
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: whole ceremonies, and I think there was a clip of

502
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: Kobe talking about pel Gasol's jersey one day being retired

503
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: and all that. That was pretty cool. Yeah, I liked it.

504
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: It happened. I didn't realize this, but uh, Gasol himself

505
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: had asked for this night for the jersey retirement because

506
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: they were playing the Grizzlies, and obviously it's where he

507
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: spent his first seven seasons in the NBA.

508
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on it, Uh, I thought it was cool

509
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: to see and I thought Pole summed it up perfectly. Dude.

510
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: It's an awesome orator. You said, with Kobe up there,

511
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: just add something meaningful and powerful and sad and happy

512
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: and painful and joyful. That's exactly right, because like those

513
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: two are tied together more than any two players outside

514
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: of Shack and Kobe, and it's pretty close, especially the way,

515
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: like you know, Kobe was ready to leave the Lakers,

516
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: they brought in Powell Basically to save that relationship. It did.

517
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: Kobe was really hard on Pow. It was when A

518
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: black Swan was a popular movie, remember, so I need

519
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: more of that black Swan from Powe. Poal ratcheted up

520
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: his intensity as a Laker, won a couple of championships.

521
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's pretty cool to see eight twenty four

522
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: to sixteen all lined up to you.

523
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and since we always talk about, you know, the

524
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: negative off court moments for players, the positive on core

525
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: moments or off court moments we should talk about as well.

526
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: Palcasola is truly a part of Kobe Bryant's family's life,

527
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: like no fake stuff, Like he is an uncle to

528
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: Vanessa and their children, and that is very, very meaningful.

529
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: That's the meaningful stuff. And also I'm sure meaningful was

530
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis watching Pealagasol have his number retired. You could

531
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: see the likeness right there to being you know, a

532
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: one one A to a championship with with Lebron, just

533
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: like Powell was with Kobe sometimes being the best player

534
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: out there despite not having to take the shots. And

535
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: I thought of that and then he basically said he

536
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: said that postgame. I didn't realize that until we were

537
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: on here. He told the athletic basically that like, I

538
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: saw that, I want that, I want to be part

539
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: of that, And how could he lose on this night?

540
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: And I thought, that's why he took over in the

541
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Really he was the best player out there.

542
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about that game a little bit. Thirty

543
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: point twenty two rebound game. That's a lot of rose

544
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: boof there from Ad to get the Lakers to win

545
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: and move them into the ninth seed. And also, Kings

546
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: fans are happy because they're up until the second seed

547
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: after their Grizzlies lost like the mother the fucking beam.

548
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: But Lakers big run down the stretch just with a

549
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: close game. And Ad did sort of a have a

550
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 3: takeover game here, which he's stringing together mean with like

551
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: the old nose was a mess last night, plugged up

552
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 3: and bandaged up. But this is what everybody was saying,

553
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: like needs to happen for the Lakers to get into

554
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: the play in or maybe even get into the actual playoffs.

555
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 3: When Lebron went down with the injury, AD, you got

556
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 3: to carry the team. You need thirty and twenties or

557
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: at least thirty and fifteen's and he's stringing them together here.

558
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: Also, you look at the Grizzlies team, no Steven Adams,

559
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Clark is gone, so you know a little light

560
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: in the front court. So you love to look at

561
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: an Anthony Davis shot chart, and it's everything in the paint.

562
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: It was one for two from three. Took a couple

563
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: of other jumpers, but basically this was big man basketball

564
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: from Anthony Davis. Really helped keep Memphis off the offensive boards.

565
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: They only scored fifty points in the paint. They averaged

566
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: fifty eight, best in the league. So I thought that

567
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: was really impressive from Davis because this is what people wanted.

568
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: He had to carry the team while Lebron was out

569
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: if they were going to have a chance of making

570
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: it back to the play in tournament, which they finally are.

571
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: Now they're out button to nine, which is cool for them. Also,

572
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: tip of the cap, I think to Dennis Shrewder and

573
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves, both of these guys have stepped up with

574
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Lebron out, with di Lo out, there are more possessions

575
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: we're actually seeing, like Austin Reeves handling the ball. He's

576
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: making plays, not just finishing plays, though he did that too.

577
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: He had six in the fourth quarter. Shrewder had four.

578
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: Those two guys a little bit of an unsung heroes

579
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: I think for the Lakers so far this season.

580
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, those two dudes, and Troy Brown had a huge three.

581
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: Has become a very capable player, one of those guys

582
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: like sort of Lannie Walker, the Damian Jones, guys that

583
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: they added at the beginning of the season. I thought,

584
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: are they going to contry? Troy Brown has definitely grown

585
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: into the player that they want him to be. I

586
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: say all those names, it's hard not to cheer for

587
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: these Lakers. What even I know, I know everybody wants

588
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 2: to hate on the Los Angeles Lakers, but it's hard

589
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: not to cheer for them at times. Anthony Davis fighting

590
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: through the nose injury, all these guys working together, and

591
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: you never hear that. You No, you don't hear that

592
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: very through the Yeah, we caught them live on playback,

593
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: played it back. I will play that nose injury back.

594
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll play it back in an upcoming short. But

595
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: all that to say, the Los Angeles Lakers, I can't

596
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: even believe this. I was just checking as you guys

597
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: were talking to make sure this is true. They're in

598
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: the top ten for the first time this season.

599
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.

600
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: For sixty six games, it took them to be in

601
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: the top ten of the Western Conference and here they

602
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: are in a battle. We got to talk about gold.

603
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Memphis, just real quick. Obviously, you know Stephen Adams,

604
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: the big ball problems there, They got some issues. That's

605
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: why Anthony Davis was going off as well.

606
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: I liked eighty going at like Tilman.

607
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah too small man.

608
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was scoring on him.

609
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

610
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: And John Jackson Junior is there. He's a defensive player

611
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 3: of your candidate. But not last night, No, not at all.

612
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, this dude wants his number three retired. As he

613
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: told Jovan Buja, he will be weird to see number

614
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: three up there along with those numbers right now when

615
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: you think about it. But who the heck knows? Speaking

616
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: of three, the Grizzlies last three fourth quarters, they got

617
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: outscored by the Lakers twenty four to nine in the

618
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: last eight minutes, outscored by the Clippers twenty eight to

619
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: eight over the last nine minutes, and outscored by the

620
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: Nuggets thirty three seventeen over the last twelve minutes that

621
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: from our friend Fast Break Breakfast. That is their problem,

622
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: pre Morant, post Morant. They have problems scoring in the

623
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Ran out for two of those games. He

624
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: has sat out his de facto suspension. It strip seems

625
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: like it's going to be longer, like he won't be

626
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: playing against the Golden State Warriors. But they don't have creators.

627
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: I look back to the beginning of the season, Deadman

628
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: Bain was hot. He's scoring ten points in every fourth

629
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: quarter before his injury. He is the guy, he is

630
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: the X actor, he is everything to me. He's got

631
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: to be more of a creator. But that is their problem.

632
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: They don't have a great offense, John Morant or not.

633
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: And so that's why it's difficult to take them very

634
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 2: seriously as a contender.

635
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 3: And so John Moran has missed the last two Grizzlies games.

636
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: That's what we were originally told. The suspension, non suspension,

637
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: whatever we were calling that damn thing was it was

638
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: going to be two games. But then we've heard Taylor

639
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 3: Jenkins say it's indefinitely. I guess that he's going to

640
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: be out, Like I guess. My point is, is John

641
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: Morant back for the next Grizzlies game does don't feel

642
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: like it no, so not good news for Grizzlies fans here,

643
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: especially on top of that with the injury to Brandon Clark.

644
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Dylan Brooks, he had missed last game with

645
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: the sixteen texts, they may have been better off with

646
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: him missing last night's game. I mean it was a

647
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: five to seventeen Dylan Brooks type of game last night,

648
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: which he's gotten the bag for sure, but they're gonna

649
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: need them and uh, we'll see moving forward. But the Kings, yeah,

650
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: up to the second seed. Unbelievable stuff. Okay, we're gonna

651
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: take a break, I promise you. When we come back,

652
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about a lot of the other games

653
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: from last night. So don't go anywhere, all right, Still

654
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: here in the Classic Factory, we're still real. If you're

655
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: joining us, live, hit that like button, do us a favor. Okay,

656
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: the other Western Conference wins last night. We had Sga

657
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: and Josh Giddy with the seventeen points, a career high

658
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: seventeen assists and eleven rebounds help the thunder get past

659
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 3: the Warriors who continue to struggle on the road. So

660
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: that was a big game for okay See's staying in

661
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: the playan race, obviously hurting the Warriors there in the

662
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: standings bit. And then we had Kyrie Irving. He had

663
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: an awesome late run helped push the Mavericks past the

664
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: Jazz one twenty one sixteen. You called that one on

665
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: playback TK. We were watching a bit of that early game.

666
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: You said, I will guarantee you this game comes down

667
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: to the final couple of possessions, basically, did and the

668
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: MAVs get it done. So thoughts on either of those

669
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: games or both those games, and then we can get

670
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: to the West standing. So what do you think.

671
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: Tests Well, let's just start with the Warriors thunder. The

672
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: Warriors can't stop anybody. It is wild. They've lost seven

673
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: straight road games, and I know we've been talking about

674
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: their road record all year long. Now seven and twenty

675
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: five on the season. They give up one hundred and

676
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: thirty seven points. I just find it a little surprising

677
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: that Steve Kerr saying small ball's winning us this thing.

678
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: Kimon Looney's staying on the bench, coming in as a

679
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: backup center, and they are going with Kuminga in the

680
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: starting lineup right now, while Andrew Wiggins is out with

681
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: a family issue, and then whoever else to play along

682
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. They really can't stop anybody. They're waiting for

683
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: Gary Payton the second to come back because who I

684
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: just wondering in the end, who is going to be

685
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: the guy besides Steph Clay Wiggins and Draymond Green as

686
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: the as the other defensive player. Are they gonna play?

687
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: Are they gonna play Gary Payton the second? They can't.

688
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: They can't do the pool thing, can they, because they

689
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: really can't stop anyone. And I bring that up because

690
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: this is the time of year and this is the

691
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: type of team that knows how to turn it on

692
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: for the postseason, and they're just not getting reps together.

693
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: So that's the worrisome part for them. Great that Shay

694
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: is back in the second game, back getting those reps.

695
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: We thought maybe maybe he's gonna sit out. Nah, They're

696
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: going for it. They want to win it. And Giddy

697
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: had a great game. Giddy is he's just a really

698
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 2: good basketball player. He's not the Giddy Giddy Giddy as well,

699
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: He'szerbiak said. He is just a very very solid guy,

700
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: growing in every part of the game. He had a

701
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: monstrous game but it helps win. The Warriors really just

702
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: no resistance on ball off ball, some weird turnovers, Draymond

703
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 2: Green turning his back on Jordan Pool mid play.

704
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: Jordan Poole's done it again. Remember he got Steph Curry

705
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: tossed earlier this season because they didn't pass on the ball,

706
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: and now he got Draymond Green all pissed off and

707
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: turning his back on the play.

708
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: He's gonna stay on the bench, I think, I think,

709
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: and be the sixth man. But they have things to

710
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: figure out. That's why I bring it up because people,

711
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: you know, you talked about the Kings in the second seed.

712
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: It still feels like the Nuggets for sure the number

713
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: one team. The Sons are right there, but the Warriors

714
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: still have the playoff pedigree, but they only got sixteen

715
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: games left to get it.

716
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: Called any thoughts on either of those two games the

717
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: MAVs one included.

718
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Just that that's a really, really bad Warriors loss. Steph

719
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: Curry had forty and made ten threes and they lost

720
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 1: that game. Been struggling on the road for the entire season.

721
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: They gotta win that one. On with tasks. I thought

722
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: no Wiggins was a huge problem because the Thunder in particular,

723
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: have pretty good size on the perimeter with Sga and

724
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Giddy Giddy in the fourth quarter incomplete control. I thought

725
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: six points five assists kind of whenever they needed a basket,

726
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: it felt like Golden State was making a run, just

727
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: a little floater, so really steadying presence from him.

728
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: They just think that Wiggins comes back and kind of

729
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: solves things along with Gary Payton the second but Wiggans

730
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: has been out for a month almost with the family issue,

731
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: and it's a a I just don't know it is

732
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: concerning for sure.

733
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: Comuna has been playing pretty well. Yeah, though I do

734
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: think so that's encouraging going forward that he'll probably be

735
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: in the playoff rotation. But they need all their guys

736
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: back basically right now so they can try and get

737
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of chemistry going.

738
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 3: Into the playoffs.

739
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I also saw a guy named Rex Farmer meg it

740
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: a twenty thousand dollars half court shot. Rex Farmer. That

741
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: was a great name.

742
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty k Yeah, he's not a player.

743
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: Wrecked Farmer. He didn't say he's going to buy season tickets. Yes,

744
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: with a part of it respect to that, I think

745
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: you have to say that if you make a twenty

746
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars half court shot. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna reinvest

747
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: it in the team. As for the MAVs, they lose

748
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: that game a month ago, I think before the Kyrie

749
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Irving trade. Look at look at in the fourth quarter,

750
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: zero points, one assist, oh for two, But it was

751
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie takeover month seventeen in the fourth four or five

752
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: from the field, eight of eight at the line, three assists.

753
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: And then you got to give a little bit of

754
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: a shout out to Tim Hardaway Junior. He's averaging eighteen

755
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: points per game, shooting fifty five from the field sixty

756
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: three since the All Star break. They need shooting in Dallas.

757
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to hit threes. That's how they get into

758
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: these games that always come down to the last couple possessions.

759
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: But nice win for Dallas.

760
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the Western Conference standings if

761
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 3: you want to throw those up, JD. Because I think

762
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: after last night's action, it's it's crazy that between the

763
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: Mavericks at the five seed right now and you know

764
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: the I guess let's just say the Blazers there at

765
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: the twelve seed, it's it's two and a half. There's

766
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: two games in the lost column, I guess is the

767
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: one way to look at it. Between fifth and twelfth,

768
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: two games in the lost column. This this is going like,

769
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: this is going to be a wild ride here down

770
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: this stretch where all these teams play each other still

771
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 3: and just the bouncing around between like one minute you're like,

772
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: you know, you know in the playoffs and the next

773
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: minute you're like completely out of the play in. That's

774
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 3: that's wild. But you can just skip over in the

775
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 3: entire play and if you lose two in a row

776
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 3: or something.

777
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: This is when Matt Moore thrives at HP basketball. I

778
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: have a hard time keeping track of type breakers. It

779
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: feels like tye breakers are going to be incredibly important

780
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference this year.

781
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: We talk about the Eastern Conference, we say, oh, it's

782
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 2: great that the play in tournament's there. We have Raptors

783
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 2: to cheer for, we have Bols to cheer for it

784
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: because they're nowhere near the top six. But in this

785
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: scenario in the Western Conference, all these teams going even

786
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 2: to thirteen with the Jazz, they could be fighting for

787
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: every single play real playoffs, and so it would be

788
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: it would probably be even a little bit more entertaining

789
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: like this is one year where you don't need the

790
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: play in tournament in the Western Conference. But the Jazz,

791
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: I think are the one team I think they will

792
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: join sort of the teams like the Spurs in the

793
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: Rockets nowhere close to the record, but the teams that

794
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: does fall out, even though they take the MAVs to

795
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: the buzzer. You want to talk about names. Johnny Jewsang

796
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: was playing for the Utah Jazz last night. Johnny Jewsang,

797
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: rookie from UCLA. They're playing guys so deep. It's amazing

798
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: how they fight till the last minute. I keep on

799
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: saying that they're going to fall out, but who knows

800
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: what this team anyways? Great ball one through thirteen in

801
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: the Western Conference.

802
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 3: Let's move over to the East. We had the Bucks

803
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: shorthanded beating the Magic one thirty four, one twenty three,

804
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: their eighteen to win in nineteen games. We had Daniel

805
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: Gafford with the putback given the Wizards one nineteen one

806
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: to seventeen victory over the Pistons. We caught the end

807
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 3: of that one on playback last night. Together, the Hornets

808
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: snapped the Knicks nine game win streak with a one

809
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: twelve one oh five victory, and mckel bridges puts up

810
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 3: another thirty as the beat. The Nets beat the Rockets

811
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 3: for their third straight victory. Which one you want to

812
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 3: start with their TK from the Eastern Conference games.

813
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't have much on the Bucks. Most important thing

814
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: to me first start for Chris Middleton since the middle

815
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: of December. He went for twenty four points, eleven assists,

816
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: five for nine from the field, twenty four points on

817
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: nine field goal at times pretty good, thirteen to fourteen

818
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: at the line, and he played thirty minutes. Yeah, Bud

819
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: basically said, we're trying to ramp up his minutes so

820
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: he'll be good to go for the playoffs. And obviously

821
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: Middleton is a hugely important player for them. We just

822
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: saw James Harden roasting him time and time again in

823
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: the loss to the Sixers, so they need him there

824
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: on offense and they need his quickness on defense. The

825
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: Wizard's game was pretty hilarious. We had Kyle Kuzma celebrating

826
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: a missed three pointer that he would have easily had

827
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: the rebound from in the corner. We had Brad Beale

828
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: cooking in the fourth quarter, went for eight points, four

829
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: of six from the field. We had a hilarious string

830
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: of bad luck possessions for Denny Avdia that we will

831
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: hopefully turn into a short a little bit later today.

832
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: And then we had a great performance from Isaiah Livers

833
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: as the tank commander in Detroit last night. He got

834
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: roasted by Beale for the game. For the game tying layup,

835
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: not much defense, basically just turns like hey, right this

836
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: way to the rim. Then an immediate turnover on the

837
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: very next possession. I couldn't believe that Jade and Ivy

838
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: didn't get the ball. Like I had fourteen points in

839
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He was on a roll in the fourth.

840
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I thought Dwayne should have went to Ivy. There went

841
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: to Livers and he delivered the loss.

842
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: Coused with the big strip there right yep, underneath the

843
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: rim and there and then and then a weird ending

844
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: where was it? A was it an ear ball at

845
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 3: the end the Gafford.

846
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: I think it wasn't there. Yeah, maybe it hit the

847
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: far side of the rim. Beals floater overshot it for sure.

848
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: Gafford in the perfect position to tip it in.

849
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: Taped it all together. Yeah. I was just talking about

850
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 2: the Knicks nine game losing streak or nine game winning

851
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: streak snapped by the Hornets. The Hornets, as we were watching,

852
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: that was their NBA Finals. Baby, they were in madison'square

853
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: garden hamming it up. There are three stars in Gordon Hayward,

854
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: Terry Roseier and Kelly Bray twenty three plus and Kelly

855
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 2: Bray kissing everybody in the crowd, blowing.

856
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 3: Every shot he made. He was blowing kisses.

857
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah he was.

858
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: He definitely was.

859
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, as Trey said, one of the best celebrators in

860
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: the game. I mean he doesn't, you know, pretty elegantly.

861
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: It's not like not an a hole. Yeah, it's nice

862
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: ten ten to seventeen for him. But yeah, they're celebrating

863
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: like crazy. No gel In Bronson and it's okay for

864
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 2: the next to lose a game after that, the double

865
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: ot game against the Celtics.

866
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: That to take.

867
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, really, Hornets won their NBA Finals. That's really all

868
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to take.

869
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: Champion and they're done.

870
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 2: We'll see next game what they do. Some bad shooting nights,

871
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: I see.

872
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take a look at the East standings then

873
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: real quick did it for the West? Why not for

874
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: the East? You see the breakdown here. The Hawks got

875
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: two games starting tonight in Washington. Uh, they lost both

876
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: of them to the heat. It set that up recently

877
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: where they had this weird schedule like two games in

878
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 3: Miami and then two games in Washington. So not off

879
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 3: to a great start for the Hawks. But we'll see

880
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 3: if they can bounce back there. But it's pretty tight.

881
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: Bowls and Pacers, of course, still live, but not a

882
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 3: lot of confidence there from your TK gave me a

883
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: bit of a brush off.

884
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: I don't think that mathwise, still alive.

885
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 3: Mathwise yeah, okay, you think these are gonna be You

886
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 3: think those ten teams above that final line are going

887
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: to be the ten teams in the playoff slash planet?

888
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: I hope. So I don't want to be crushed missing

889
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: out on the tenth seed.

890
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of it. Yeah, all right, let's

891
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 3: get to pick them. Results from last night Sixers Wolves

892
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 3: was the game. Some of us thought this was gonna

893
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: be a schedule loss for Philadelphia, but Trey took him

894
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 3: anyway and he got the victory. Corn won this guy.

895
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 3: I'm one and four, you're two and three. So not

896
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 3: a good month here. No, I am on a brutal

897
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: run right now, So I hope you're making money fading

898
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 3: my picks. What's the night's game?

899
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: I faded tonight as well. I just I'm going for

900
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: the loser. I feel like the cat. I don't like

901
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: the basketball the Calves are playing. They're going into Miami

902
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 2: as a two and a half point favorite. I know

903
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: they're the better team, but it doesn't feel like they

904
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: should be the favorite either way. I'm just riding with

905
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 2: them to win by three or more. You guys are

906
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: taking Miami, which is the smart pick. It's the Kevin

907
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: Love Bowl, released recently by the Calves. Hopefully we'll be

908
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: playing tonight for the Heat missed their last game questionable

909
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: as of an hour ago with the old rib injury.

910
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: These heats, well, there's these heats. Turn it on at

911
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: some point, sometimes on, sometimes off.

912
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: We forgot to mention Jimmy Butler flying across the country

913
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 3: to surprise Palgasol last night. He was this little moment

914
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 3: that the I think McManaman con on camera. Do you

915
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 3: think every flood he's on he's drinking Michelotle Ultra's and

916
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 3: and singing along and dancing in the aisles. It's an

917
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 3: easy flight.

918
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: Gotta be on his rider. I agree.

919
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: So yeah, Okay, Tray and I have Miami to play

920
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: with some points there as two and a half dogs

921
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 3: at home. Good luck. Let's get to tweeted the night.

922
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night.

923
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm hungry.

924
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, first, let me give a shout out to h

925
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: Q rich Darius Miles the Old Knucklehead Podcast. Great conversation.

926
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 2: I had this basketball ly tweet first, but I decided

927
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 2: to go away from it. They had Tyre's Halliburton on,

928
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: and Tyr's Haliburton talked about practicing for the three point contest,

929
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: and you know, you don't often hear about players and

930
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: the discussions regarding that, so go listen to that conversation.

931
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: He said he practiced Thursday Friday. I think he. I

932
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,919
Speaker 2: think he practiced Saturday as well before and he never

933
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: had a round lower than something like thirty. Came out

934
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: with a thirty one in the first round and then

935
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 2: fell apart in the second round. So it was just

936
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 2: really really fun to listen to that. Aside from that,

937
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: let's talk nuggets, Benjamin Hawkman. With this tweet, you get

938
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: an hour unlimited McNuggets, interesting specific nuggets McNuggets. Yeah, how

939
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: many can you eat Trey, we can start with you

940
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: because you've had the experience on our show previously. The starters.

941
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: It was a pick and payoff. You had half an

942
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 2: hour take us through the experience. What have you learned?

943
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,760
Speaker 2: What would you do going forward?

944
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: My strategy when I did it was a half hour show.

945
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: I ended I'd eaten sixty nine of them, and I

946
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: think I ate like forty in the first Yeah you went,

947
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: I went as hard.

948
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 2: As possible, So forty in the first ten minutes.

949
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was crushing them as hard as I could.

950
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if it was because I

951
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: was crushing them that hard or just the fact that

952
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 1: I'd eaten a lot. At that point, I've definitely slowed down,

953
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't think my peak is going

954
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: to be that much higher. Like sixty nine and a

955
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: half an hour. You would think, okay, maybe that p

956
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: jump pays for one hundred, but I think it's more

957
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: like eighty because I was I was struggling by the end.

958
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: Were you saucing them.

959
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Up at early sauce? I mean, I'm an occasional sauce.

960
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: You need it for the lubrication than any feel like

961
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: eighty would be my goal for an.

962
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 2: Hour, okay, and you would just paste it a little

963
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: bit more.

964
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: I would try and paste it a little bit more,

965
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: but I still want to air with more early because

966
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: it gets so much harder.

967
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you're drinking water, right, I don't know, man,

968
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 2: it's all I can't remember either.

969
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: I had to be drinking something. You must have probably, Yeah,

970
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: those giant starters mugs. I mean, only one mug of water,

971
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: but sixty nine nuggets.

972
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, quick math, I guess you were going four per

973
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: minute for the first ten minutes and then one and

974
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: a half. Yeah, one and a half per minute for

975
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: the last twenty minutes. So maybe you're a nugget connoisseur.

976
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've said before, if like I were to ever

977
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 3: do or at least be able to compete in any

978
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 3: food eating challenge.

979
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 2: It would be nuggets take on the chest.

980
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, if I could do eighty, I

981
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: would love to throw down with you one day the

982

Speaker 3: sour packs, but this would be my best like event

983
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 3: in the food eating world. But I don't know, I

984
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, you were some of you came

985
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 3: to that party we had Super Bowl party. I think

986
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,479
Speaker 3: it was where our guy Jared brought like he brought

987
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 3: like over one hundred one hundred. Now we were all

988
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,439
Speaker 3: eating them, but everybody then left and I just kept

989
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 3: eating them like a sad sack of shit. Now, but

994
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: I come once every two weeks, but man, they do that,

995
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 3: and I'm like, damn, am.

996
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: I gonna be back here to there slick?

997
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: But yeah I can. I don't know. I don't know eighty.

998
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if I could hit eighty. I'm a

999
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 3: smaller man.

1000
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: But the sauce route, I wonder.

1001
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 3: Oh I would sauce it up. Yeah, I'm a.

1002
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: Sauce guy, but this is a competition. Maybe water is

1003
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: the way to go.

1004
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: No way, First off, water, give me crab juice. Yeah,

1005
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 3: I would sauce it up. And I'm a sweet and

1006
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 3: sour sauce guy. But I could work with barbecue. I

1007
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 3: can work with honey mustard. What's the other one ranch? Sure?

1008
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 2: Do they do buffalo McDonald's.

1009
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: I think they got a lot of sauce at this point.

1010
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't. He can't be a fast food joint

1011
00:47:53,200 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 2: without buffalo sauce they used to do. Uh, I would guess.

1012
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: I think it depends on the day.

1013
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: You know, you're prepping, you're prepping for it.

1014
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 2: I want yeah, pp I would prep for it like

1019
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,520

00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 2: some grains.

1065
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,960

1066
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: I like, I like a honey mustard. I don't think

1067
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: i've ever had the McDonald's honey mustard.

1068
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with a late addition to the sauce.

1069
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 3: I forgot about honey.

1070
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Just a straight some sweet and packet usually not a dipper.

1071
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: Those are the two origines. That sweet and sour and

1072
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: honey I think are the originals.

1073
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Gotta get love the barbecue.

1074
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,520

1076
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,759

1077
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: so many other barbecue sauce. I'd rather be dipping in it.

1078
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 4: I mean, I got off the grid, like sweet baby rays,

1079

Speaker 3: You absolutely yeah, yeah. I mean I'm a huge fan

1081
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 3: of the Polynesian sauce at chick. I bought the bottle

Speaker 3: of it at the grocery public sells them so good.

1083
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 3: I mean it's similar to sweet and sour sauce.

1084
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: But I think you could eat more Chick fil ad

1085
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: nuggets smaller, the smaller, much much more more bread or chicken. Yeah,

1086

Speaker 2: that's a good point there.

1087

Speaker 3: could even though they're smaller. That's like I've been putting

1089
