Speaker 3: our lives, and we're gonna break down last night's games

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: and then we will look ahead to tonight's crazy schedule

78
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: thirteen games on. We'll have a pick them. JD's got

79
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: tweeted the night. But this is also a tradition. Really

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: at the start of a season, gentlemen, we play a

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: little it's just one game butt, where we just completely

82
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: overreact to forty eight minutes from a particular game. We'll

83
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: start with the Warriors Nets. The Brooklyn Nets dismantled the

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: Warriors one, twenty five to ninety nine in the first

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: game of the season. So let's completely overreact, aass. Where

86
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 3: do you want to start? It's just one game, butt,

87
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: what do you have?

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: I think it's fitting to overreact because it seemed like

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: the entire internet was overreacting to watching a basketball game.

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: It's like they've never seen a basketball game before. But

91
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: I'll jump in on it. It's just one game. But

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant will not win the MVP. He won't because

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: the Nets are going to be two. They're gonna be

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: blowing teams out in the first half that he's not

95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: even gonna have to play in the second half. That's

96
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: how good he's gonna be. No, I picked Kevin Durant

97
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: to be my MVP because I think just the fact

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been around for a long time, people

99
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of forgot how good KD is. I'm like Doctor

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Dre and Slimshady here, you guys are inspiring. People forgot

101
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: forgot about k D. Thanks for the inspiration, boys. I

102
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: just think that at the nets, I know they looked

103
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: fantastic last night, and I do legitimately think Kevin Durant

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: can win it. I don't think he's even feeling all

105
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: that great at this point, Like he looks good. He's

106
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: so comfortable getting his shot off at any point when

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: there's a hand in his face, no problem. But I

108
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: just say he's not one hundred percent because he was

109
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: seven of sixteen. He was missing bunnies. But him, you know,

110
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: floating to the baseline getting that shot off, pull up

111
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: threes the dunks, and I think we also forget about

112
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. He had a big

113
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: block slamming that ball into the backward. He had a

114
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: charge that he took people forget. Also that he's you know,

115
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: seven foot and he plays the four. He's gonna play

116
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: some five win all of a sudden done for Steve

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: Nash's team. I'm not just gonna say, hey, the Brooklyn

118
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Nets are gonna win the conference, because I do think

119
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: they kind of have to get it get it together defensively,

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: and they were playing a shorthanded Warriors team. But Kadi

121
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: day one the best player on the Nets. Even if

122
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: Kyrie had a better night, and he's back baby, and

123
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: he has not injured whatsoever. It feels good to be

124
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: watching Kevin Durant play ball again because it's it's like

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: no other watching experience in the NBA. Kadi is one

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: of a kind with how great he is, so it

127
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: was awesome.

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: I saw this question going around on Twitter last night

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: from this blowout game, and Lee, I'll start with you.

130
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: You know, was this more of a good omen for

131
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: the Nets moving forward, or you know a sign of

132
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: bad things to come for the Warriors. If you have

133
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: to go one way or the other, I'm sure it's

134
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: a combination of both. It always is the case you

135
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: have to pick one of the other just like wow,

136
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: kat Kyrie and the Nets looking scary scary good or

137
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: the flip side of it like uh oh no dreamond

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: there of course no Clay, just Steph offensively and what

139
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: they really the not much of a defensive effort as well,

140
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: that the Warriors are in trouble. Which way do you

141
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: go here?

142
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: Well, I'll go with the Warriors first. But Draymond Green

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: was also missing last night. Obviously he's a huge part

144
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: of their defensive identity. But I just thought they were very,

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: very bad last night. Steph Curry, of course, we know

146
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: he's a fantastic player, but other than that, they got

147
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: really no good contributions from anybody. And defensively, I mean,

148
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: you know, talk about that big baseline dunk Kevin Durant had,

149
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: I mean, Pascal came out and just basically escorted him

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: to the basket. Then he went in for the place, sir, Yeah,

151
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: and that and Steve Kerr talked about this after the game.

152
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: He said their competitiveness and their defensive intensity just.

153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: Was not there.

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: And then that's the thing, I mean, it was it

155
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: was a pretty much the ideal start there for Steve

156
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: Nash and the Nets because it was more a glorified

157
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: practice run really for them. There was no pressure on

158
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: them at all. Sure, and you know, and Draymond Green

159
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: is going to improve their defense, but not to the

160
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: point where last night was like, Okay, they're going to

161
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: be an instant contender when Draymond Green comes back.

162
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 7: They've got a lot of other problems out there.

163
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Now.

164
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 7: They've got some young guys, they've got some inexperienced guys.

165
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: James Weisman started. I thought he was okay for a

166
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: rookie in his first game, But those sorts of things

167
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: like the defensive intensity, you know, that's not going to

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: come in game two of Game three's that's years and

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: years of sort of learning a system and learning how

170
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: to play in the NBA. So you know, guys like

171
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: Kelly youu bro who was there signing offensively, you know,

172
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: he did a couple of things. He didn't shoot the

173
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: ball all that well. But they do need some more

174
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: defensive presence out there, and I think that's the thing

175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 4: with the Warriors going forward. Obviously, Klay Thompson's out for

176
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: the season. He's a very good defender, he's an experienced

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: defendervil and they're not going to get him back so

178
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 4: that's where I worry for the Warriors. I just I

179
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: think I think this was bad. I think we expected

180
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 4: the Nets to be good, and they were good. But

181
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: also this game was over, and you know what, this

182
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: game was over in the second quarter, so you know,

183
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: there's not a whole lot you can sort of really

184
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: take out of that from the Net side until you

185
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: see them going out up against a much stronger defensive take.

186
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome start though, of course for Katie and Kyrie,

187
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: the entire Nets team. I mean, they got a deep

188
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: roster over there as well, So task feeling pretty good

189
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: about the kad for MVP pick early after yeah, one game,

190
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: justpite like you said, not even having the best I

191
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: guess stat line, it was just so easy, flawless, Just

192
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: like the Warriors have no one to him too, no nobody,

193
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: not a chance.

194
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: So that's a part of it. I mean, Draymond Green

195
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: would have made a big difference for this Warriors.

196
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: To Trey overreact, My man, what are you going The

197
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Warriors are going to miss the playoffs this year? You

198
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: guys already hit on all of it, and I don't

199
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: necessarily know that it's an overreaction. Steph Curry, I don't

200
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: think he's going to be enough to lift this Warriors

201
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: team past the wild card. I don't know if bring

202
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: him back Draymond Green when he returns from his time out,

203
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: is even going to be enough because there's just not

204
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: enough shooting around Steph Curry without Klay Thompson playing there,

205
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 2: and their defense, like you guys are saying it, don't

206
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: make up for it. Kelly u Bray Andrew Wiggins. They're

207
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: making forty eight billion dollars this season. They went two

208
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: of twe well from three last night. You said Lee

209
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: that Kelly Ubra did a few things offensively, and he

210
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: made a smart play yesterday by having his baskets actually

211
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: be one hundred percent highlight baskets because you know, Ubra

212
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: is really sliding by here. Everybody is crushing Wiggins today,

213
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. But Kelly Ubray went three for fourteen.

214
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: He just had the dunk of the night, so you

215
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: know you were willing to let him slide on this

216
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: one a little bit. But Ubra was pretty bad. Wiggins

217
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: was pretty bad, like you said. Wiseman actually all right

218
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: in his first start after having no preseason, barely playing

219
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: any college basketball, stroking the three ball hit a couple

220
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: of other longer jumpers. Looked like he was moving while

221
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: out there, didn't necessarily look like he had his NBA

222
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: timing going up to catch lobs things like that. But

223
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: if the Warriors are gonna have any chance of making

224
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: it to the sixth seed or higher, I think they

225
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: almost have to go full James Harden with Steph Curry.

226
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Just give him the ball and run, pick and roll

227
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: every single time, whether it be with Wiseman or Draymond

228
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: whenever he gets back. But you know, having Steph Curry

229
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: play off the ball while Andrew Wiggins is handling up top,

230
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: that's a no for me.

231
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 3: Dog. It's weird thinking back on this game. It's like

232
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: I can remember Curry scoring, I remember a new Bring

233
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: dunk or two. I remember Wiseman scoring like a handful touch,

234
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: and I feel like that's it. I don't know how

235
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: they got ninety nine points. It's like where did the

236
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: rest of them come?

237
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: But they Curry had ten assists right ten The other

238
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: shots were made besides stuff. I don't know.

239
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: It's very weird. Yeah, rough, rough, Rough, Sorry for most

240
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: of these guys. It's all like Curry on an incredible game.

241
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: Either two for ten from a distance obviously rough, but Lee,

242
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: where are you going? I have a feeling we got

243
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: to get here to Wiggins talk as true alluded to what's.

244
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 4: Your over abandoned Wiggans Island immediately immediately.

245
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 3: Abandoned That you're stuck, man, That's the thing.

246
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: So so coming into the season, one of the predictions

247
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 4: I've made on the show is that I think that

248
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: Andrew Wiggins, I can envision a scenario where Andrew Wiggins

249
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 4: actually lead to the Warry is only the Warrior is

250
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: not the league in scoring and considering. Look, in the

251
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: first two minutes he had two three pointers. One of

252
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: them was so wide open it was unbelievable. The other

253
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: one was fairly wide open the first one. And so

254
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: I actually, I actually think I was right in my

255
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: prediction in that the Warriors need him and are going

256
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: to look to him to score.

257
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 7: He just couldn't do it. That's the problem.

258
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: He just couldn't do it.

259
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 4: And there was Okay, you missed a couple of threes, Okay, fine,

260
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: that's fine, But then he had the baseline drive and

261
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: I think that's what prompted a tweet from you there' skeets.

262
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 4: He's saying, you know, he's going to be hard for

263
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: him to lead the team in scorer if he can't

264
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: allow I was shot. Yeah, and then he had a

265
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: sort of alley you which he maybe he was a

266
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: little bit too far away to oop it, but he

267
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: kind of went up and just lost the ball immediately

268
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: to Kevin Durant. And then he had another sort of

269
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: floater in the lane that missed and just clunked off.

270
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: And this was like, it couldn't have been a worse

271
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 4: situation for Andrew Wiggins there last night, because honestly, he

272
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: is their second most lethal scorer that team right now. Yeah,

273
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: and so the Warriors are basically like, yeah, we need

274
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: you to be our guy to score.

275
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: We need you to go out there and do it.

276
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 4: They gave him the opportunities, they put him in the

277
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: position to score, but he was just awful, just absolutely awful.

278
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: So in some ways, you hope that this is a

279
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: situation where it's like, Okay, flush that one down the toilet,

280
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: come back to the next game, because again, they need

281
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: him back, they need him to be scoring because if

282
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: he's not doing that, then he's almost no point in

283
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: having him on the court. So it's a bad situation,

284
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: but it was fun. It was fun on Twitter last night.

285
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: But it was just, you know, the situation is there

286
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 4: that the Warriors basically like, listen, you're athletic, you can

287
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: get to the rim. You're going to get three pointers.

288
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 7: You have to hit some of them. You have to

289
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 7: hit some of them. And he wasn't able to do

290
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 7: that last night.

291
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: But it's fun.

292
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 7: It's fun, isn't it being on Wiggans Island. It's fun.

293
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: No, it's dreadful, man, it's horrible sunburn. Yeah, running out

294
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: of coconuts already.

295
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: It's a he's got that ability.

296
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: It's kind of a bit like Jeff Green. I guess

297
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: that something just sort of lose you to sort of

298
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: feel like maybe it's time. He's just gonna shake this

299
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: off and break out of it. But he wasn't able

300
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: to do it last night, And honestly, I felt bad

301
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: for him because it was the first game and from

302
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 4: the very first tip and from the first two minutes

303
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: of the game he clunked those shots. He was trending

304
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: worldwide on Twitter, so you know, I feel bad for him.

305
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: I hope he doesn't check Twitter. I hope he can

306
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: shake it off and be better in the next game.

307
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: But I hope he's not. On Twitter, they're already seeing

308
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: people saying he's not even the best Canadian on the Warriors,

309
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: and it's like, yikes, you got molder there.

310
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: Oh you mentioned Jeff Green League great tweet from Ben

311
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Dietrich who said, Jeff Green standing across the court from

312
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins like the ghost of Christmas future. It's crazy, man.

313
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: You saw Jeff Green get a dunk last night. Yes,

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: he's going to be the first guy that has a

315
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: highlight tape at the end of his career. Jeff Green's

316
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: dunk from every NBA team, thirty dunks from thirty two.

317
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: The guy's everywhere. I guess Wiggins can make a run

318
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: at it because, like you're saying, he's gonna have shots,

319
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: because the other team is going to give him shots.

320
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: I think the guy is too muscled up right now.

321
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't have great flexibility to begin with, and now

322
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: he's all bulked up. He looks like a Jack's Nick Patom.

323
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't know both of Nick Patoom and Wiggins. Seeing

324
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: them with their new bodies, I was like, these guys'

325
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: heads must be shrinking. I don't know what's going on

326
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: out there. But uh, that was discouraging from Wiggins. Like

327
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: he went baseline for a dunk, there was nobody by

328
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: the raft. He goes up for a lamp and batches it.

329
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: I remember when we used to say, let's get this

330
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: guy in the slam dunk contest. He almost threw down

331
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: a seven to twenty from the free throw line in practice.

332
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: Now he's batching layups. Come on, man dunking?

333
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Look, I mean, as we know, on Wiggins Island,

334
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, there's a bunch of subway sandwich shops.

335
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: So Lee, the only way we're getting off this island

336
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: is we got to just make a bunch of like

337
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: six inch or twelve inch subs and we got to

338
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: like string them together, like using plastic straws and like

339
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: build a raft together. Ain't nobody coming to get us?

340
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: What's you're on Wigans Island? You're there for life?

341
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: But what does he even get people to come to

342
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: the other That's the real quest he's.

343
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: Going to have in two or three weeks time. Here

344
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: three game sample where he won't miss those three Yeah,

345
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: and he'll he'll go five for six. He'll maybe he'll

346
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: maybe catch a body in surprise traaker. I mean, he

347
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: will dunk on, he'll entice this, and then we'll be like, ah,

348
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: this Island's great and nobody's going to be coming because happens.

349
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: Look, his mechanics are fine. When he shoots, he looks comfortable,

350
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: he gets his feet set, he gets into position, and

351
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: it's just like, oh my god, come on man, now

352
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: knock one of those down. Because I was hoping for

353
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: the opposite. I was hoping you might have like an

354
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: eighteen point first half and I'm.

355
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 7: Like, see, I told you, guys, I told you guy,

356
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 7: and instead it.

357
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: Was just.

358
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: But does he look does he look muscly? I think

359
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: he looks exactly the same training camp.

360
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: There was definitely photos out of training camp where he

361
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: looked like he was jacked, But about out on the

362
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: court last night, he didn't.

363
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 7: Actually it didn't sort.

364
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Of look quite ape.

365
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: Shoulders are broader, Yeah, the shoulders are.

366
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean, my favorite photo from the training camp, the

367
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: training camp era is his shoulders inflated like he's Bron James.

368
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: You know the photoshop of Lebron monstrous. They've done that

369
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: to Andrew Wiggins where he looks huge, but he just

370
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: looked like a normal guy, and if you're on an island,

371
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: you have all the time in the world to work out. Man,

372
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he's not bigger. You could be bigger.

373
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: The weird part is Andrew Wiggins the question mark as

374
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: he is every year. I feel like Kelly Ubray. Yeah

375
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: he's skating by, as Trey said, but he can't be

376
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: a question mark. And I think coming into this season

377
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: he's been traded twice already. There's been lots of rumors

378
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: about him in his career, about you know, not being

379
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: an extremely great player on their team or not fitting

380
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: in well. And there's a reason why he has been

381
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: traded a couple times. If you have two question marks

382
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: on the wings on this team where you have Klay

383
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Thompson out, I mean they're done. Kelly, you Bray has

384
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: to be a difference maker. He's gotta be good or else. Yeah,

385
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: they're done. It sure feels like that, Like Draymond Green

386
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: is going to help out, get everybody in the right

387
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: position and everything. But if you're starting, wings are going

388
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: to float in and out and good night. Especially in

389
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, that's so tough.

390
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: Let's go back to Brooklyn. Let me overreact. It's just

391
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: one game. But the Nets do not need James Harden.

392
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm saying it, but that's the whole

393
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 3: point of this segment. I don't think they need him,

394
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: and that's wild, because he's incredible. He's one of the

395
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 3: best players in the game. But the Nets, as we

396
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 3: saw last night in one game, small sample size, man,

397
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: that is a deep bullpen that Steve Nash and that

398
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: coaching staff can go to. They got a lot of solid,

399
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: two above average NBA players behind their stars. And oh yeah,

400
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: they already have two of them. Do you need a third? Nah,

401
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: that's old news. You don't need the three headed monster anymore.

402
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: You just go with the duo. Now, it's back to

403
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: NBA jam style in the NBA. But I'm half joking,

404
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: but I'm also not because they like, there was a

405
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: particular play in the first half, Dinwitty Jared Allen pick

406
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 3: and roll sort of up in the side on the corner.

407
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: Dinwitty finds Allen, who's you know, in the middle. He's

408
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: got to make a decision, you know. Draymond Green like

409
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: spot Joe Harris in the other corner. Nice pass right

410
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: on the money, splash, wide open. Three Those three guys.

411
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: You know some of those guys would be in a

412
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: James Harden trade. I don't think Harris would be, but

413
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: Dinwitty for sure, probably Alan the Rockets would want back.

414
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: And then oh yeah, Kris Lavert, who was the third

415
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: best player last night for the Nets twenty nine to

416
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 3: five off the bench. When we were making our predictions,

417
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know who's gonna win six man

418
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 3: because I don't know if Dinwitty's starting or Karris Lavert

419
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: is starting. So whoever doesn't that's my sixth man. So

420
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: I guess it's Lavert after one game Steve Nash, you know,

421
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: talking him up about being a genobili like difference maker

422
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: coming off the bench and closing games and close games

423
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Awesome start. So I don't know

424
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: about you guys. I know, Trey you're you're a man

425
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: of the stars, you love hard and two. But would

426
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: you even admit like the role players on the Nets

427
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: after one game, that's a nice fit they have around

428
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 3: those guys with DeAndre being a big Jared Allen me

429
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: make all the wings like they're third, they're third, you know,

430
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: rotation if you want to call it that, Like they're

431
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: scrub guys. Are guys that are actually like would be

432
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: like the ninth or tenth guy, and a lot of

433
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: teams like probably Curricks and TLC and which.

434
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: Time guys were playing playoff minutes last year.

435
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like this is a deep, deep team. So

436
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: I think there's no way if you're Sean Marks that

437
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: you make a hard and trade now. I think you

438
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: at least owe it to what you have right there

439
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: with your staff and this roster, to say, let's see

440
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: how we start, because if they start, you know, you know,

441
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: nine and one or fourteen and two, whatever it is,

442
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: then you don't want to probably mess with the chemistry

443
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: you got going with the sage burning of Kyrie and

444
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: Katie looking good. They're gonna be waiting. And this is

445
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: bad news if anyone for the Rockets, who if they

446
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: want to move hard and he wants to go to Brooklyn, Well,

447
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: Brooklyn's just gonna keep taking pieces off the board here

448
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: to make a potential trade because they're, in my mind,

449
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: in no rush to make it happen. I don't know

450
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: what you think.

451
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: Trade Well, you don't win championships by going nine and

452
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: two in December and January, and this is gonna be

453
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: a little bit like an extended preseason at the beginning

454
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: of the season. We definitely need to remember this Nets game, though,

455
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: because this is as good as they can look. They

456
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: look perfect. Like we're talking about Kevin Durant could win MVP.

457
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: He might not have even been the best player on

458
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: the Nets last night, because, like you're saying, saging works,

459
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: I'm starting it for sure. Around here, Kyrie was in

460
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: his bag when he hit that pull up from the

461
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: side logo. There you're like, oh my goodness, this team

462
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: looks unbeatable. Surely they'll be beatable. They'll have a bad

463
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and we'll be like, oh man, look

464
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: at the chemistry. It's terrible out there. File this one

465
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: away in your brain. Alse they still take the Stars skeets.

466
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 2: I picked the Nets in the finals because I think

467
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: that their team is completely underrated, because we're looking at

468
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: them through the lens of are they worth it? For

469
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: James Harden, Carslavert, Jared Allen, Spencer, Dinwiddie. I would still

470
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 2: rather have James Harden. He's an MVP. He puts your

471
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: team in the playoffs every year. I don't know if

472
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: that's necessarily the case with the Nets, though they have

473
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: been making the playoffs every year with those guys the

474
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: maybe not title contender status, but yeah, those guys have

475
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: become completely underrated because of who they might be playing,

476
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: might be traded for. Furthermore, you know, everybody says, all right,

477
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: they're bringing back Katie and Kyrie, that's awesome for the offense.

478
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Who's gonna play ded The Net's finished ninth in defensive

479
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: efficiency last season. I think we're just kind of forgetting

480
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: that the Nets have been able to be a competitive,

481
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 2: well organized team for the past couple of years. Obviously,

482
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: Steve Nash is now the coach there surprises me. Every

483
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: time they show him on the sideline. They're like, oh yeah,

484
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: oh yeah, exactly right. You know, we're so hyped for

485
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: what the Nets look like on the court, it's easy

486
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: to forget Steve Nash is there supposedly telling people what

487
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, Nets looked it great last night, But

488
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: you know, you're tenth and eleven men. They're not going

489
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: to be playing in the playoffs, but James Harden would be.

490
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, And I think Brooklyn needs to avoid

491
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: the mistake that the Clippers maybe made last season. And

492
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: that is like, don't pretend like you've already won the

493
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: championship because of the star power you have and the

494
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: deep roster you have, Like you gotta earn your way

495
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: into that championship conversation, But what you actually do on

496
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: the damn floor and don't just like hold yourself in

497
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: this sort of championship is steam. Now, Katie's got titles,

498
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: Kyrie's got times, like get that they've been there and

499
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 3: got a couple. Same had been true for Kawhi, though.

500
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: I just want them to sort of like pretend like

501
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: they're a weird underdog because of everyone like that have

502
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: piled on Kyrie before the Delta, Keady coming back from

503
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: the injury after five hundred and fifty regular d's off

504
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 3: or whatever. Use that, and maybe it helps that Nash

505
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: is even your coach Lee like a guy that never

506
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: got a title, and maybe he can sort of instill

507
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 3: that they just can't go down that Clippers road from

508
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: last year where they sort of pretended they were already,

509
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: you know, a title contender because of their roster and

510
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 3: their makeup of their star players.

511
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think that's a concern though with Kevin

512
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 4: Durant on the roster. Really, I think he understands that

513
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: the regular season. He's kind of got that Lebron mentality.

514
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, the regular season is important,

515
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: but it's really what happens.

516
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 7: In the playoffs.

517
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: I mean that that's what it comes down to me

518
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 4: with Kevin Durant, and I just think he's a different

519
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 4: player in that sense to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George

520
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: as well Kyrie. I mean, he's also someone who you know,

521
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: he has he thinks differently and speaks differently, but he's

522
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: also been in those big moments and he understands as

523
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 4: well that's happened what happens in the playoffs. So I'm

524
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 4: not I'm not overly concerned. I think that Clipper situation,

525
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 4: you know, because it was the Clippers and these two

526
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: guys came together both to get in that offseason, and

527
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 4: there was a little bit of a feeling out process

528
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 4: last season playing even though obviously Kevin Durant didn't play

529
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 4: last season, but he was on that roster, and I

530
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: think now they just understand what happened there in Los

531
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: Angeles and they don't want it to happen there in Brooklyn.

532
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 4: So I'm not overly concerned by that. I think Steve

533
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 4: Nash is the right guy to sort of manage these

534
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: because he's worked with Kevin Durant before, so I think

535
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: they'll understand that. And that's something that I think that

536
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: the nets are going to take the approach this season

537
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 4: of like, let's just get through the regular season. Whether

538
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: we finished second, first, third, doesn't really matter. It's what's

539
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: going to happen in the playoffs. That's where we're going

540
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 4: to really show if we're a team that's a true

541
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: title contender.

542
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're probably right. Task what'd you think

543
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: of the broadcast last night? I know there was a

544
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: lot of people on Twitter are upset with the audio

545
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: being all out of sorts. Felt like you could sort

546
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: of hear the misshot before you saw the misshot. And

547
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: obviously these guys are being asked. I'm talking about the

548
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: men and women that are put in the broadcast all

549
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 3: on TNT and eventually ESPN. Like, you know, you're remote,

550
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 3: You've got broadcasters in different parts of the country, you

551
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: know how many You've got some remote cameras all that,

552
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: But like, what did you think overall? Did they do

553
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: a fair job the appearance of it all what they

554
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: did with the arena. What's your take.

555
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: I thought they needed some more saging. First, first question

556
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: was their saging pregame with Kyrie, because I didn't see

557
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: any footage.

558
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 3: You didn't show it, did they.

559
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: I think he's planning on saging opponents on the road. Yeah,

560
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: I had a home game, so I guess theoretically he's

561
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: just saging off camera at all times. I don't know.

562
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: There's gotta be some bad spirits in the Barclay Center too.

563
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, good point.

564
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he's doing the locker room, or he's doing it

565
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: hours before pregame. Yeah, it's a very difficult task for

566
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: them to Marv and Chris Weber there on the first

567
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: broadcast too. I think they did a good job of

568
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: drumming up excitement, but it's it's also strange hearing, you know,

569
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: JD correct me if I'm wrong, But these guys are

570
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: on a mic, and their mic has no feedback whatsoever,

571
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: no no no sound coming in like a like a

572
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: regular arena where you have some fans in the background,

573
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: and so that just seemed it seems silent when they talked,

574
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: and so that kind of for me kind of sucked

575
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: the life out of the game. I know the arena's

576
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of quiet in and of itself, but I think

577
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: like the way they pump in audio for the for

578
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: the arenas to some degree, I think you kind of

579
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: have to do that for the mics too. And yeah,

580
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: they're a little delayed. I don't know how much you

581
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: can do about that, but I think you just got

582
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: to pump up the sound. I think that's just the

583
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: important part. Audio is everything. JD. The video I think

584
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: was pretty good. I think that the league has sent down,

585
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, the protocols to try and make it look

586
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: like the bubble to every every arena, to try and

587
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, get rid of the empty seats. I think

588
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: Barclays did a really really good job of that of

589
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, putting you know, their logos over the seats

590
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: and also on the near side, they made it all

591
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: black like it was a center field of a baseball game.

592
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

593
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: I went to the guy. I asked the guy about

594
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: the audio and the technical elements that is struggling here

595
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: on the show.

596
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 7: The last couple of week.

597
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: Oh, Tassi is straight up frozen. We'll get what did

598
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: you think, Tray with regards to the presentation. They're in

599
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: a tough spot man calling a game remotely. It's no

600
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: different than us watching it at home and talking with people.

601
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: You're trying to work out which player is that and

602
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: did the ball actually go through their legs? On thatt

603
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: Mega tenth, I thought that was hilarious. When we ran

604
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: back a highlight, that just wasn't the perfect thing. Look,

605
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: it's obviously not ideal to have broadcasters calling the game remotely,

606
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: but it's also a whole lot safer, so we gotta

607
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: deal with it. I'm not gonna complain. I was just

608
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: happy to have basketball back last night. It feels like

609
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: the season started right away. It feels like there was

610
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 2: no time off, and then it hit four o'clock yesterday.

611
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is taking so long? Just walking around

612
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: the house, I'm like, Isla, what do you think about

613
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant getting together on the court.

614
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: You think Kyrie's going to post up too much? She's like,

615
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Can we watch my little pony? No

616
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: we can't. We gotta do some scouting here. But they

617
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: finally came back. There were some tough moments, no doubt

618
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, but I'm also not entirely convinced that

619
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: my idea wasn't messed up as well. I kind of

620
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: felt like my audio was lined up perfectly, which means

621
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: it must have been totally out of fairs, like like

622
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: when when the ball was hitting the rim, it was

623
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: hitting right on for me. But I think that must

624
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: have been that mine was messed up. Mine was the

625
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: one that was messed up.

626
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I fixed it. Interestingly, did you have any problems.

627
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 7: Same sort of things what you guys are saying.

628
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: It's kind of frustrating because you know, like you understand

629
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 4: the circumstances right now. Any basketball is better than no basketball,

630
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: and these are sorts of things we just have to

631
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: accept and deal with for the time being. But when

632
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: you're watching the game and the game, you know, it

633
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 4: kind of sucked as well, so like you start to

634
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: sort of stay focused on the game, and then the

635
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 4: audio was kind of annoying as well, so it was

636
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: kind of like, Okay, not a great start.

637
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 7: Not a great start.

638
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 4: Let's hope that the Clippers and Lakers game is a

639
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: little bit better. But again, considering all the circumstances right now,

640
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: it was just fun to have basketball back, meaningful games

641
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: back again, and honestly, seeing Kevin Durround out there again,

642
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: I mean, that's really what it was for me. It

643
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: was he such a great basketball player, you know, to

644
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: see him out there just in his full flow again,

645
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 4: looked like he was enjoying the game. Didn't look like

646
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 4: he was enjoying his postgame interview there with But but

647
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: you know, again, for what we do for a living,

648
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: to see some of the best players in the world

649
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: actually at their best. Last night, Kyrie had a couple

650
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: of moves there with the handles going where he was

651
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: looking pretty sexy. Those are the things that I'm taking

652
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 4: out of the game rather than those little minor frustrations

653
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 4: that we had with the actual broadcast of it.

654
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: Oh look, let's be honest too. They're asking Marv Elbert

655
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: to do this remotely. Marvelbert is an eighty year old man,

656
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 3: you know, do not forget that. And I'm sorry he

657
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: has lost his fastball over the years when he was

658
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 3: in person because he's getting up there in age. So

659
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: now you're asking him he's obviously some other like booth

660
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: somewhere and his his you know, co announcer or whatever

661
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: play by player. Yeah, excuse me, color commentator is like,

662
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: somewhere else, that's a big ask, because I thought it was.

663
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: I thought it was a little smoother with Horalan, right,

664
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: And I just think that's because he's good. You know,

665
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 3: he's honestly a younger guy, and maybe just like he

666
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: is on it a little bit more so. I thought

667
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: it was a little more jarring on the Marv call,

668
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: because it's he's being asked to do something he's probably

669
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: never done in his life before again at the age

670
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: of eighty, after doing it for like what sixty years

671
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 3: one way, and then you're like, no, no, now you're

672
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: just gonna be calling it in a in this closet here,

673
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: just watch this television screen like that's that is a

674
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: big ask.

675
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still got to wear a suit? I like that. Yeah,

676
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 2: commentators were all wearing suits. The coaches aren't, the players aren't.

677
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: These guys are dressed out there.

678
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. You gotta look good on television.

679
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: That's why we are. Show got canceled, you said the

680
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 3: inside the NBA, clouding Katie's postgame interview task. I believe

681
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: you're back. Did you catch that?

682
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: You know, Katie was quite frank, especially with the Charles

683
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: Barkley question, there was a horrible question. He set him

684
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: up for a yes or no answer, so Katie dropped.

685
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: Him with a yes. Though that said usually these guys,

686
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: you know, they say a little bit more, but he

687
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: was just kurtd And then as soon as they wrap

688
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: up the interview, of course the inside guys run with

689
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: it and make it a gag, which I thought was

690
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: actually pretty funny. But what did you think, do we need.

691
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: To inside the NBA is back?

692
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was funny. That was really good.

693
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: I actually didn't see it. My internet wasn't working last night,

694
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, so strange. Yeah, the guys were in a

695
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: good mood, the inside the NBA guys from opening tip well, pregame,

696
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: I should say, they had their their their pregame, they

697
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: had their dua lipa and.

698
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: Got to get I don't like uh Chah, Charles and

699
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: Shack basically grilling everybody in their postgame interviews. They wouldn't

700
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 2: let Durant off the hook. They didn't let Paul George

701
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: off the hook. Really, I didn't think after the Lakers

702
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: Clippers game, maybe these guys are getting into their capital

703
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: jade journalism bags here it's gonna be exciting to see.

704
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I do like the interaction between

705
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: them and the players, especially with guys like Kevin Durant

706
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: and Paul George, who you know everybody's been wanting to

707
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: talk to after the way that the offseason transpired.

708
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: All right, well, let's move over to the Clippers Lakers game.

709
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: Here.

710
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: It was the night cap, Lee, I gotta know it

711
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: right away. Did you stay up and watch it or

712
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: did you catch it this morning?

713
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 7: First half, last night? Second half the summer? Yeah, okay,

714
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 7: that's I've got to weeze into the season as well.

715
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, I understand. Well, Paul George, he scored a

716
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: game high thirty three points, quieted twenty six as the

717
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: Clippers got the one sixteen one nine victory over their

718
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: bitter rivals there in La over the Lakers. Trey get

719
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: us started, though, let's overreact. You can either go on

720
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: the quarter, off the court, whatever you want. What do

721
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: you what do you got?

722
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: Well? I think it's funny, Skates how you mentioned the

723
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: bitter rivals between the Lakers and the Clippers, because you

724
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: know we've seen now since Paul George and Kawhi Leonard

725
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: signed with the Clippers, We've now seen three season debut

726
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: games basically right opening night, last night, Bubble opening and

727
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: Opening the night last season, and we saw Lakers Clippers

728
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: and every single.

729
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: One of them.

730
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: Now we got Kawhi Leonard or Kawi Leonard hasn't signed yet,

731
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: Paul George long term there, Anthony Davis long term Laker,

732
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: Lebron long term Laker. We're gonna be seeing Lakers Clippers

733
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: on opening Night for the next five seasons and any

734
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: restarts we may be doing. But is it is it?

735
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 2: Is it a rivalry? Because the Lakers unveiled their championship

736
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: banner last night, but they've got so many of them

737
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: that they didn't even have to unveil their championship banner.

738
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: They're just saying, hey, we're gonna wait until the fans

739
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: get here. You know what it's like celebrating championships. But

740
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: since the fans couldn't be that, the Lakers had to

741
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: do something very special. So it's just one championship celebration.

742
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: But Family Ring Night is an absolute keeper for me.

743
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: I thought this was so cool seeing all the Lakers

744
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: families sending in their video messages to the players on

745
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: the team, congratulating them on last season's championship and getting

746
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: their gigantic rings this year. I love seeing Markeith Morris's

747
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: daughter just screaming at the top of her lungs. I

748
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: was like, yep, you're Markeith Morris's daughter. What a great family.

749
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: Marcus is there playing for the Clippers, videotaping his brother

750
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 2: getting his ring. These guys got each other's backs, they

751
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: got each other's back tattoos. I love it as so

752
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: great seeing Yannis wishing kastness, yeah, championship, congratulations, saying let's

753
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: get more rings. Let's get more rings. Specifically me, I

754
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: would be the one who would want to have the rings.

755
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: I thought that was great. And Lebron's sons I thought

756
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: were also very funny too. Just the fact that they're like,

757
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: this guy's been the greatest since we've been watching basketball,

758
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: another championship. It's a perfect mix for them to be

759
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 2: celebrating a Lebron Lakers championship. They're like whatever, it's like, Uh,

760
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: if you're a really rich person, you know. I've been

761
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: watching the Marvel movies a lot lately. I've been keeping

762
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: track of Tony Stark's cars. The license plates changed. He

763
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: just had one that said Stark twenty three, so I'm like,

764
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: he's got at least twenty three cars. When you get

765
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: to that many, you're like, you can just send a

766
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 2: picture of it. I'll show it to you when you

767
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: come over. That's what the Lakers are doing with their championship.

768
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: And they're like, you know what, it looks like. It's

769
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: just gonna say twenty twenty. It looks like the other

770
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: sixteen we've got. We've changed the numbers. I don't know.

771
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: I thought for a night when the Lakers weren't one

772
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 2: hundred percent into the game, there was a reason behind it.

773
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 2: And the ring ceremony it was great. You know, eventually

774
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: fans are going to be back in the building. But

775
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. I like seeing their families introduce them

776
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: a lot more than I like seeing Adam Silver or

777
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: even their teammates introduce them, because these their family members

778
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: are the people who've been supporting him for their entire careers,

779
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: their entire lives, right, Like, it's got to be crazy

780
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: for Gloria James to say, yeah, I gave birth to Lebron.

781
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: I remember how hard it was when we were three

782
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: years old. Now this guy's winning his fourth championship, for

783
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 2: the most famous team in the NBA. It was awesome

784
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: to see and it was fun for everybody. I thought, yeah, I.

785
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 3: Think you got to give a little shout out to

786
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: the Phoenix Suns for sort of starting this whole thing, right,

787
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: weren't they the first team in the bubble to come

788
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: up with the family introductions for the squad? And then

789
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 3: we saw other teams do it. I know, the Raptors

790
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 3: did it, and then yeah, Lakers taking it next level.

791
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: I'm with you, this is a keeper. It's like the guys' faces.

792
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the players, like they just all light

793
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: up too, like when they're seeing, you know, their adorable

794
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: family for the most part, congratulate daddy, the ring and

795
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So I'm say, good, well, I mean

796
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 3: got all not all of them had.

797
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: Kids, is my point. Yes, Bronni Irwin Rosso brings it up.

798
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Brannie not the happiest of kids. A little Bronnie just

799
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of like, why am I doing this? He didn't

800
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: say anything, but he just kind of sloach.

801
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: I thought brace was even more hilarious, like he's the

802
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: one doing all the talking and he's like, all right,

803
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: congrass Bronnie.

804
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 7: Kids speak though, he sounded just like Lebron. I thought

805
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 7: it always was just like him.

806
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: Zur received it for sure, Yeah yeah, but also having some.

807
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 7: Kids from the Ipromo school there as well.

808
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: It was cool.

809
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought that was good. Well, it was.

810
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 4: It was so well done by the Lakers. They've done

811
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: a great job in a tough year in all their

812
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 4: ceremonies that they've had, and I thought last night Trey

813
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: hit it on it all there though. They just knocked

814
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 4: that out of the park. It was so well done

815
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 4: and he's going to be very hard to go from

816
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 4: that next year to maybe Adam Silver handing yet the silverware.

817
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 7: Because it's not the same.

818
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 4: It doesn't have that same value as it coming from

819
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 4: their little kids screaming, getting their face on the big

820
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 4: screen having a great time.

821
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: Why can't you do both? And you you have the

822
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: the videos and then Adam Silvery gives the meet your ring.

823
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's really the same thing. Like

824
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: Adam Silver doesn't do much. But what I was confused

825
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: with a lot of the guys took their rings, put

826
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: it on their ring finger. Oh it doesn't fit. Yeah, yeah,

827
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: there was a lot of what they got fitted. Yeah,

828
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: I'm so confused by that, And why would you get

829
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: the pinky ring. I don't get that. You know you

830
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: want to be pinky ringing a championship ring. That seems

831
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: strange to me.

832
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Lebron is the only one you could

833
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: justify for the pinky ring because it's number four.

834
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly yea. And I like how Yannistatkopo wasn't too

835
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 1: I guess too proud to not do it for Kostasy. Yeah,

836
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: but it was.

837
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: It was the perfect balance of like, we're proud of you, bro,

838
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: but also I'm gonna get mine too, so don't you worry.

839
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 3: You got the lead right now.

840
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 2: I loved it.

841
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 3: I thought it was perfect.

842
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: Bucks fans must be absolutely thrilled that Jannis has already

843
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: signed his next deal. If he's showing up in a

844
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: Lakers Championship celebration video with that deal on sign. Okay,

845
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: signed that dotted line.

846
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: So we're all on board with the Yeah, family ring night.

847
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: You got to keep that moving forward. It's just so

848
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: so fun. But let's get to the game and let's overreact.

849
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: Let's get back to that task. Let's see if the

850
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: Wi fi Let's put it to the test here. Why

851
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 3: do you get a start at what's your overreaction from

852
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: the Clippers Lakers game.

853
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: First thing you gotta do to bring your WiFi back,

854
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: reboot your computer. I called in to tech service. They said,

855
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: unplug it, sir. We started works well for me. The

856
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: overreaction is Paul George is the Clippers best player, and

857
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: it's got to be the hair. He braided it out.

858
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: Baby.

859
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: Look at that Oh looking tight. It's time to take

860
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: it serious. We gotta braid this thing. He looked incredible

861
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: and it's the thing to do on the Clippers, just

862
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: like Kawhi Leonard. Uh, let me me overreact to this. Uh,

863
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: it's just one game. But Kawhi Leonard is Jewish, got

864
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: anora on his head. It looks like everyone in Kawhi's

865
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: braids or is it just me now? I can't see it,

866
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think, like Anthony Davis and Lebron, there's

867
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: going to be some games where Anthony Davis is better.

868
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: You know, in the finals, it could have been Anthony

869
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: Davis's Finals MVP. So Paul George is gonna have some

870
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: games where he's you know, quote unquote better, having a

871
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: better night than Kawhi. Like he did on this night.

872
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: But I think, to me, those two dudes are just

873
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: taking this seriously and it's easy to overlook that they

874
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 1: didn't really have a camp last season because Paul George

875
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: was coming off shoulder surgery coming in Game one, and

876
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: they're focused, They're they're ready to win from the get go,

877
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: and I think their their lineup looks, you know, a

878
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit better even though they didn't

879
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: have Marcus Morris in there. I think Luke Canard makes

880
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: a big difference just having another ball handler. Because people

881
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: out there saying, oh, they don't have a point guard,

882
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: they didn't address that. Lukenard is sort of their backup

883
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: point guard and is going to do that and Paul

884
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 1: George isn't coming off so shoulder surgery. And we'll see

885
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs. It's very different from playing regular

886
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: season ball against Lakers. Then it will be in the

887
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: playoffs that's going to be totally different. We saw two

888
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: totally different teams, two totally different focus levels out there.

889
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: But the Clippers I think are going to win the

890
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: one seed for that reason because they're pretty close to

891
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: winning the one seed last years only three and a

892
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: half games. Paul George was injured, lots of guys in

893
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup.

894
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 7: This year.

895
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: They had a camp and they're focused, and they were

896
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: fricking embarrassed. So that's why I think regular season, speaking

897
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: about that, strictly about that, I do think they are

898
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be the guys that have home court advantage

899
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: throughout the Western Conference playoffs.

900
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: Paul George winning the first Whoe boy of the season,

901
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 3: tweeted it out this morning. Yeah, really solid line, super

902
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: efficient hit a bunch of three. He blew open the game, right,

903
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: He had that like ten oh stretch that sort of

904
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: you know, opened it up for the Clippers. They had

905
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 3: a huge lead early on, and then then we had

906
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: some ugly basketball in the second quarter. The Lakers got

907
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 3: back in the game. But then yeah, it really was

908
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: Paul George and Kauai in the second half taking over.

909
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: What do you got, Lee, what's your overreaction to it?

910
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 4: Well, the Clippers faced their first test last night and

911
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 4: they passed it. And for a lot of the reasons

912
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 4: you just mentioned there. What the big blow up there

913
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 4: for them in the bubble was blowing double digit leads

914
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 4: against the Nuggets when they were up three to one

915
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: in that series eventually really just whimpering out there. In

916
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: Game seven, they didn't fight. And last night they had

917
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 4: a twenty point lead in that first half and then

918
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 4: it was gone by halftime, and it sort of felt

919
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 4: to me like, oh, Lebron and the and you know,

920
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 4: ring night. Often the team that is getting their rings,

921
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 4: they do come out a little bit sluggish because it's

922
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 4: been an emotional sort of day and night for them,

923
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 4: and the Clippers came out very, very hot, and then

924
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 4: Lebron just decided, Okay, I'm going to take over now

925
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: and got his team back into it. That lead was gone,

926
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 4: and the test was going to be how the Clippers

927
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: respond to that, because they didn't respond well down in

928
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: the bubble. But in this second half, Paul George, one

929
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 4: of the leaders of that team, stepped up hit some shots,

930
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 4: and I liked the way that he got some of

931
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 4: his shots too there because he attacked his defenders. He

932
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 4: went at Anthony Davis, who went inside and just got

933
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 4: a little looper in there, and there was other They

934
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 4: tried everyone on him and no one really could stop him.

935
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: And that's the way it should be. When you're Paul George,

936
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 4: he should play like a superstar where it's like, it

937
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 4: doesn't matter who's defending me. I'm a better player than you.

938
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 4: And he got to his spots. He knocked down some shots,

939
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 4: he was confident, and he looked like a leader out

940
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: there on the floor. So I think, again, it's one game,

941
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 4: it's the first game. It's now, it's already confined to

942
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: the history of the NBA. But at least the Clippers

943
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 4: didn't collapse last night. Because if they blow a twenty

944
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 4: point lead in their very first game of the season,

945
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: can you just imagine, you know what the talker, even

946
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: if Paul George has still that thirty three point game,

947
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 4: it's just like the Clippers just they just can't hold

948
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 4: on to a lead.

949
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 7: So I thought they were good last night.

950
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 4: And I thought in that second half again some decent

951
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 4: contributions outside of those bigger guys. I thought Lou Williams

952
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 4: looked a little bit more energized last night. I thought

953
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 4: he was bad down in the bubble. He only had

954
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 4: eleven points in the end, but he's someone they need.

955
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 4: Patrick Beverley, you know what you're getting from Patrick Beverley.

956
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 4: He's feisty, he's competitive. He hit a couple of shots

957
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 4: I think they were actually in the first half and

958
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 4: he hit his shots. But you know, this team has

959
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 4: got a lot to prove this season, and first game

960
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: of the season they face a test and they actually

961
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 4: passed that test.

962
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, we said they could quiet the critics here

963
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 3: because there was going to be a lot of them

964
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: if they lost these games, if they took care of

965
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers like they did last year on Opening Night,

966
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: as Trey mentioned, and if they can take care of

967
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 3: the Nuggets, who obviously came back and sort of shocked

968
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: the world winning three straight there despite the Clippers having

969
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: threw and lead who they play in their next game here?

970
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 3: I mean, the NBA just set it up for them.

971
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 3: They said, here you go. Do you want a bunch

972
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: of headlines and a bunch of questions being asked about

973
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: you right away? Or do you want to shut everybody

974
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: up and then we just have to sit and wait

975
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 3: until the playoffs? And so far, so good, Like you said, Lee,

976
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 3: they did. They looked, you know solid. I thought a

977
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 3: Barker was a great addition last night. I mean, just

978
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: being able to stretch the floor a little bit, a

979
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: big that can knock down the three Barker's he can do.

980
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 3: He has added that to his game where you have

981
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: to respect it. He can hit two or three a game.

982
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: He hit two last night, five or seven overall got

983
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,959
Speaker 3: the line a little bit. Six boards had a block,

984
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 3: didn't pay a ton of minutes. Zubat still got great minutes,

985
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: but great contributions from him.

986
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: I love that edition.

987
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: If he plays like that, that's a bit of a

988
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 3: game changer in some series in the playoffs. But goodwin

989
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: from the clips there.

990
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 2: I maybe, I mean, the question is always going to be,

991
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: when it comes down to it, how are the Clippers

992
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: going to handle when Lebron and ad are playing at

993
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 2: four and five? Because Serge Ibaka probably is not the

994
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: answer there. He wasn't the answer when he was going

995
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: against Lebron in Toronto and Lebron was spinning the ball

996
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: in his face and draining threes. And I don't necessarily

997
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: know that he's going to be the answer against Anthony

998
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: Davis as well. We saw that little jab step go

999
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 2: baseline for the slammer. Jammer looked really nice. Anthony Davis

1000
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: still looking impressive. But it is certainly a reminder that

1001
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: the Clippers, despite the fact that their season ended very

1002
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: poorly last year, and you know, people were dunking on

1003
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 2: them for the entirety of the offseason. They're still really

1004
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: close to winning a championship. They're still one of the

1005
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: best teams in the league. And they've got such a

1006
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: great mix in Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Because Paul George,

1007
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 2: it feels like he pours on the points right, like

1008
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: his points come in a hurry. It's like suddenly he's

1009
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: going from having seven points in the first half to

1010
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: having thirty in the game by the end of the

1011
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: third quarter. You're like, Wow, that happened quickly. Whereas Kawhi Leonard,

1012
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: you're like barely paying attention and suddenly he ends with

1013
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: twenty six points up in the game. And I just

1014
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 2: thought seeing some of the takes Kawhi had last night,

1015
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: his footwork was incredible. He had that one take where

1016
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 2: he just bodied Wes Matthews. Wes Matthews went flying back

1017
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: into the stansion and Kawhi Turner's like, oh, I'm at

1018
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: the rim, radar simple layup. He had some Michael Jordan

1019
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: esque spins in the lane where you can toward his

1020
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 2: body to get the ball up on the rim. When

1021
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: those two were ball, and it's such a good combination

1022
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: of somebody who heats up in a hurry and somebody

1023
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 2: who stays hot consistently that they can pile up the points.

1024
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: It's just going to be a matter of do they

1025
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: hit those streaks in the playoffs when it really really matters.

1026
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's Kawhi and Paul George in the mid range.

1027
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: I think Surge just gives them a little bit more

1028
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: space there. I think that helps. I mean, you totally

1029
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: watching Kawhi look at Wesley Matthews in the face and

1030
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: saying I'm going right by you was was cool. And

1031
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: also he got to the rim and had no problem finishing.

1032
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: I think that's what the Lakers are going to miss

1033
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: a little bit with going to get Montrez Harrell and

1034
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: now Marcus soul starting in front of him rather than

1035
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: JaVale McGee Dwight Howard. There's just not as much rim defense.

1036
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is going to be the guy who finishes games,

1037
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a lot of riom defense when

1038
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: he's on the floor. But yeah, there's it's a nice

1039
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: I think it's just a nicer balance for the Clippers

1040
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: to have Zubots and Surge. Surge just got to be

1041
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: healthy and stay on the floor. But he's it's totally right.

1042
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: He can't guard Anthony Davis one on one, but he's

1043
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: got that over confidence, he's got that championship pedigree. I

1044
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: think I think that's good for the Clippers' locker room.

1045
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: And he's going to say we can beat this, we

1046
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: can do this, and he is. He is a rim deterrent,

1047
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: Like if Lebron is going up against him rather than

1048
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: Zubats at the rim, at least Surge makes you think

1049
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then I think he's going to

1050
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: be the guy who has to guard a D. There

1051
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: is no good matchup, there is no good matchup for Lebron.

1052
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: But Marcus Morris will probably be that guy, but will

1053
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: take some time.

1054
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 3: To be on them obviously, yeah, obviously.

1055
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1056
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: So it's it's tough, but I think the Clippers just

1057
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: have a nicer balance with with Luke Lenard and Sergeabaka.

1058
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: But it's funny. I mean, last year, coming into the year,

1059
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: do they have more talent than the Lakers And when

1060
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: you think, well, when it comes down to it, the

1061
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: Lakers have Lebron and a D. I mean that's really

1062
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. So Kawhi and Paul George,

1063
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: as much as we talk about Surge and all these guys,

1064
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: they have to play like Lebron and a D at

1065
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: this level them in a playoff series.

1066
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's the other problem. It's just one game.

1067
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 3: But but the Lakers couldn't give a shit last night.

1068
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 3: That's the other truth of the batter here. Like good,

1069
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 3: good Clippers win, but Lakers didn't care. I mean his

1070
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: ring night. You said it Lee a lot of cases

1071
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: where you get those rings. Your mind's somewhere else. Now, Yeah,

1072
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 3: we gotta play a game. Oh yeah, we also just

1073
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 3: finished playing basketball what seventy one days ago or whatever

1074
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: they kept saying on the broadcast. There's this crazy turnaround.

1075
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 3: They're just like they did not seem invested in this game.

1076
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 3: They were sloppy, got a bunch of new pieces that

1077
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 3: they're trying to implement. Of course, Intruder Angasol and Harrold

1078
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 3: and all that. They had nineteen turnovers and you know,

1079
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: I saw Ziller point this out, like, think about this game.

1080
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 3: It was close, but Lebron sat for most of the

1081
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: fourth quarter despite it being like you know, it was

1082
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: like a ten point game, which is nothing in the NBA.

1083
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: The Lakers lost by seven. Lebron didn't check back in

1084
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 3: after leaving. The game, was like seven minutes to go

1085
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: and LA down seven. That's it, you know, three possessions.

1086
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: That's weirdly right, right right right.

1087
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 2: That's my point.

1088
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: My point is they they're like, go ahead, clips, have

1089
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 3: this one. We really truly don't care.

1090
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: That's what I was taking care of, Like boodenholes are

1091
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: coaching the Lakers. They played significantly less minutes, you know,

1092
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: five to seven less minutes then Paul Jordan Kwi Leonard difference.

1093
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a huge difference.

1094
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Clippers took advantage of it. They got

1095
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 3: the win. I think it's gonna if this is, you know,

1096
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: what we could see from the Lakers for a good

1097
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: chunk of the season, definitely hurts like an E D's

1098
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 3: chances to win an MVP or Defensive Player of the

1099
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: Year and stuff like that. If they limit their minutes

1100
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 3: and how hard they lean into that or was this

1101
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: just like a first night thing and they're like, oh whatever,

1102
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 3: you know, we got our rings. Maybe they were playing

1103
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 3: in their rings and I didn't notice. That should be

1104
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 3: a rule, you should have to play in your ring

1105
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 3: if you're giving the ring. But clips got done, and like,

1106
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: I like how you put it.

1107
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 6: Lee.

1108
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 3: You know they passed the first test, but I got

1109
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 3: a long way to go here. Okay, So those are

1110
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 3: the games.

1111
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 2: Anything you guys want to add, either from the actual

1112
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 2: basketball play, what was happening with the presentation?

1113
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: What was going on on Twitter? You know, I asked

1114
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: Lee this, I think you were gone tast Did you

1115
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 3: stay up and watch the late game or did you

1116
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 3: you do the classic sort of maybe watch a half

1117
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: and catch the rest of the morning. What'd you do?

1118
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: I did not watch the second game. That was a

1119
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: late start of a late start, you know. Well, yeah,

1120
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: with the ring ceremony, Yeah yeah, they took some time

1121
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: and they had it went from the ring ceremony to

1122
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: the inside the NBA guys, I mean that started like

1123
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: ten twenty two, ten twenty three Eastern first half. I

1124
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: tuned out. I got to at an early wake up call.

1125
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: Hotel called me a about five thirty.

1126
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 2: Yeah skip, you stay up?

1127
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. I did. I'm feeling it this morning.

1128
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie. You gotta get

1129
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 3: you gotta get your your body back into that rhythm

1130
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 3: of these late nights, especially.

1131
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 4: As well with it looking to head to tonight's calendar

1132
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: with thirteen games, there's gonna be a lot of chaos

1133
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 4: out there tonight.

1134
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 3: So I don't even know what to do, Like with

1135
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 3: I know, I can't remember what to do.

1136
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 4: That's the craziest thing because you can't watch like eight

1137
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 4: games at once because you're not really watching any of

1138
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 4: them and you want to focus on one game and

1139
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 4: you just hope that one's close.

1140
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 7: But then you've gotta keep your eye on off.

1141
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 4: Course well because people are saying, hey, look, Darius Garland's

1142
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 4: going off his head tonight.

1143
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: He's You're like, I gotta cheered into that one.

1144
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 4: I got to cheat into that, and then you've missed

1145
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 4: the game you were on.

1146
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 2: But if there's any time to watch Darius Garland, it's

1147
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: during Christmas. Yes, it's the only time. I'm supposed to

1148
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,560

Speaker 2: I mean, it is Christmas week doing the annual traditions.

1150
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: Laura's mapping out the schedules. She's like, hey, Wednesday, you

Speaker 3: Nice spin there. At least it gets dark enough early.

1158
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 3: You can slip that in there before the games. Yeah, okay,

Speaker 3: that where we pay it off whoever comes in last

1163
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: for the month, although I'm sure we'll take this one

1164
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 3: maybe into January. We'll talk about it in a second.

1165

Speaker 6: a little pin in it because I think we have

1175
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 6: an old fashioned beef brewing over here. So off the

1176
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 6: top of the show, we played the new track from

1180
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 6: couple of comments in the chat that I noticed from

1181
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 6: a guy called Abstinence Elf, and he actually seemed pretty pissed,

1182
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 6: and I grabbed a couple of them and I wanted

1183
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 6: to sort of share them here. Outrageous. This is while

Speaker 3: As I said, thirteen games feature.

1250
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 7: Thirteen What are we going to do?

1251
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: Get up your split screen, get a heralbos vulgaris set

1252
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: up where you're watching six games at a time. I

1253
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: know I sound like an old head going to bed.

1254
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: Everybody angry in the sweet stream. Are you going to bed? Yeah?

1255
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm not Darius Garland. I'm Winston Garland. I'm old. Listen.

1256
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: You can watch games in the morning, no big deal.

1257
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: You can watch them faster anyway. Shout out to Glen

1258
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: Nice rodneych Okay. Thirteen games tonight, I'm going with a

1259
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: game that's very tight line. It's on ESPN, it's at

1260
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: the end of the night. Am I going to be

1261
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: able to stay up? Who knows? It's a ten to

1262
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern Dallas going to Phoenix. These two teams definitely

1263
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference playoff mix. I expect Dallas to

1264
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: be up there. If Phoenix wants to make the playoffs,

1265
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be teams like Dallas. It's a

1266
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: one and a half point line for Phoenix, their favorite.

1267
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: So it's basically a coin flip. Phoenix at home again

1268
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: with Chris Paul first game, I am I'm taking Phoenix.

1269
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm jumping out on the Phoenix Suns bandwagon up against

1270
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: Luca in the best offense from last year.

1271
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 3: This is difficult. I just realized with the Pickham games

1272
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: because there is no home court advantage. I mean, I

1273
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 3: guess you're in your own arena and you got the

1274
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: sight lines and blah blah blah, and you're sleeping in

1275
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 3: your own bed. But I mean, how much of an

1276
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 3: impact will no fans be in these games? That's sort

1277
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 3: of tough for me to decide. I don't know, Lee,

1278
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 3: you got a feeling you like the Suns, you like

1279
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 3: the maps.

1280
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a one point line. I think

1281
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 4: just the Suns. I think they're just gonna be a

1282
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 4: little bit healthier. I think, without pausingis as well for

1283
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 4: the Mavericks. There's a lot on Lucas Schulder. He can

1284
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 4: handle it, boss, But in the line like this, I'm

1285
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,959
Speaker 4: just gonna go with the Suns. I think Chris Paul

1286
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 4: is gonna get his team over the line by one

1287
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 4: field goal.

1288
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: Okay, two Sons picks Trey, how about it?

1289
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 2: Sons were eight and oh in the bubble, they're used

1290
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 2: to playing in front of no fans. Gimme Phoenix as well.

1291
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: Strange thing about Phoenix. They're a bad team at home

1292
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: last season They're one of those teams. But I don't know.

1293
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: I feel like Chris Paul is not gonna let them

1294
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: let him lose at home.

1295
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 3: This is difficult, man, This is difficult because who is

1296
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 3: the better team here? The no KP really hurts man

1297
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 3: for sure, is there. I'd be very intrigued with this

1298
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: Dallas line. But sorry, guys, I'm gonna start this one boring.

1299
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 3: I'm also going Phoenix. I think the Sun's win tonight. Sorry,

1300
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 3: all got Phoenix. It's not exciting to start with, but

1301
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 3: you can all make fun of us if Dallas wins tonight.

1302
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's call it there fun. You know what

1303
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 3: we're calling really a first show here as we recap

1306
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 3: Darius Garland no matter what, no matter what he does tonight.

1307
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 4: There's actually some some sort of maybe potential breaking you

1308
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 4: see James harden Is. Apparently there's a video going around

1309
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 4: of him being mascless at a strip bar in a couple.

1313
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 4: to play if if that was true, so that we

1314
