1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: Did you just say you haven't seen these films? Have

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: you been living under a rock? My friend? No, we're

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: going to watch these right now, and lucky us, it's

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: only three hours and five minutes to finish both, so

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: clear your schedule. Fact number one, you are going to

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: love this film. Fact number two. If you do not

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: like this film, then, my friend, you don't know anything

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: about film at all. Do you know anything about the

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: backstory or the lower.

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Oh boy?

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'd be doing you a disservice if I

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: didn't spend forty five minutes explain. Okay, your funeral, my friend,

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: But be warned, this isn't that other crap you watch.

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: It isn't diluted and uninspired like The Avengers or James Bond.

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: It actually has substance in wit. Now we find ourselves

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: in New Jersey and Paul Blart must save the day.

17

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Can't waste Stefan Curry. If it's haf time, he can

59
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: jump on from the let.

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: Well may it depends what type of game he's having

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: in the first half. If he's having a bad one,

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: he might want to jump on. You know, we can

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: motivate him a little bit, didn't Boget say that he

64
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: was caught like checking his phone a lot of the

65
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: times at half, if you had a bad first half.

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: That's right.

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would come out and shut up the haters,

68
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: the doubters. So yeah, special guest, you know, I don't

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: want to lock it in. But even some of these

70
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: guys here on this call this morning don't even know

71
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: who I'm talking about, so it could be fun. All right.

72
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: Today we're starting with a little true or false. Yes,

73
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: true or false, gentlemen, so we'd had a little twist

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: to it. So first one, we start in Sacramento, where

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: don't look now, the Kings have won five of six

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: my goodness, Darren Fox twenty six points, eleven assists, Buddy healed,

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: you know, two late free throws to sort of seal

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: the deal there, Sack Town hold off the short handed

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: Celtics one sixteen, one eleven. On Wednesday Night, Trey true

80
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: or false? I'm getting too excited about the Kings again.

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: I'm back baby on the King's pandwagon skates is back.

82
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: Of course, this is true.

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: The Kings have won a whopping two straight games, yep,

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 5: and jay E Skeets is shoehorning in not just one,

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: but two Sacramento Kings questions to kick off the show.

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: Insane stuff, but honestly, a really nice win last night

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 5: for Sacramento over the Celtics. No Camba for the Celtics, Yes, Jalen, Yes, Jason.

88
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 5: So that's a nice win. And the Kings got a

89
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 5: it feels like the way they've got to win every

90
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 5: single time this season. They kept it close than in

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. It was dearon Fox, it was Harrison Barnes,

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: it was Rashaun Holmes, and it was Tyrese Halliburton, my

93
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: favorite law for firm, Fox, Barnes, Holmes and Halliburton just

94
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 5: making plays down the stretch. They're down five with about

95
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 5: six minutes left. Harrison Barnes keeps getting to the line.

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: Fox is just able to make every kind of play

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 5: that is necessary for this Sacramento team. Holmes is hitting

98
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 5: the glass. You got a Curtains Halliburton moment. Again, fun

99
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 5: stuff for the Kings, And like you're saying, Skeets, it's

100
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: not just two games in a row, it's five out

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 5: of six all the way up to ten and eleven.

102
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 5: That's the thing, Skeets, you got a bird box this.

103
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: Do not look at the Kings. They've still got the

104
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 5: worst defense in the league. And I went back and

105
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 5: I checked all of the schedules and results on Basketball

106
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: Reference for the past five seasons. Literally every season, the

107
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 5: Kings have a stretch where they win five out of

108
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: six every season. You might have noticed that the Kings

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: have not been in the playoffs for five hundred years.

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 5: So I don't know, Skates, you may be jinxing them

111
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 5: by leading the show right here.

112
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: You might have done it. I told you, I said,

113
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: if I start doing it again, shoot me down. Don't

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: let me do it. So I like that you're putting

115
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: me in my place here. But Fox, you're right, I

116
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: mean especial again in this one. He's averaging twenty eight

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: points per game over his last eight contests. Ley and

118
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, like Trey said, is taking over

119
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: and just and really just has been dominant over these

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: last couple of games. I think he's you know, like

121
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: fifteen sixteen, seventeen points. It feels like every time here

122
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. So, so where are you with

123
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings? Like forget about it. Just leave them

124
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 2: right now, don't even pay attention to them. Like Trey said,

125
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: you know, it's like the the weird ghost in Super

126
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: Mario Brothers. You know, like, don't don't turn turn I'm

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: look at it. Yeah, just just leave it and you'll

128
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: be fine. It won't really do that much damage.

129
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: Like what do you think, Well, I think there is

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 4: some substance to it, because oh boy, well well not

131
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 4: because last night, as Trey mentioned, there there was no Camber,

132
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: no Marcus Smart, but they still had their two best

133
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: players of Celtics. They had Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

134
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: And Tatum missed a three at the buzzer there, which

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: could have extended the game to overtime. So maybe they

136
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: got away with a little one last night.

137
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: But that's a good win.

138
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: Any win really for the Kings is great, is important

139
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 4: because they do have a terrible defense and they still

140
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: give up a ton of points. But if you can

141
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: outscore your opponents, obviously you win those games. And the

142
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: Kings just need to get any sort of confidence, any

143
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: sort of momentum going, because if you look at their

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: schedule coming up, they've got three pretty tough ones in

145
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: a row. Here, they've got the Nuggets. They're at home

146
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: against the Nuggets, then they go to the LA to

147
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 4: face the Clippers, and then they come back home for

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: five in a row, actually starting with the Philadelphia seventy sixers,

149
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: and then they've got some winnable ones after that. Memphis

150
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: is in there, Miami, Chicago's in there as well, but

151
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: they've also got the Brooklyn Nets. So they've got a

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: tough stretch coming up here, which will again show us

153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 4: a little bit more about whether or not this team

154
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: is improving, has turned somewhat of a corner, or if

155
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: it's just like it is in the NBA when you

156
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: play so many games, so many teams are on back,

157
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: especially this season, that you know any team can beat

158
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: any team on any given night. But I think it's

159
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: just it's good to see, especially Daron Fox, I think,

160
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 4: and Tom Zilla had it in his newsletter this morning.

161
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 4: Probably not going to make the All Star team just

162
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: because it's deep at that position, but he's certainly making

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: a case for himself, you know, and he's still got

164
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: time here. So if he can continue this great play,

165
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: especially his fourth quarters, which where he's been fantastic, it's

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 4: going to make it he's going to be in that conversation.

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: I just I think, you know, it's going to be

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: one of those situations like you've got to do it

169
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 4: for a year or two, especially if you're in Sacramento.

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 4: There for Fox, but good for the Kings because they

171
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: look like an absolute disaster there for a while. Again

172
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: earlier this season and it was like many you know,

173
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: Luke Walton might be fired. They just can't stop anyone.

174
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 4: They're giving up one hundred and fifty thousand points every game.

175
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: You know, they've improved somewhat in that area. But I

176
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: enjoy watching this team play when they're playing well. I mean,

177
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: they're a fun team and Fox is a good player

178
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: to watch, and it's just good to see the Kings,

179
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: you know, not be disgusting for the Yes, it is.

180
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: Let's just table this though. If the King somehow miraculously

181
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: beat the Nuggets Clippers in seventy six ers in the

182
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: next three games, then fair, then we'll get very, very excited.

183
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: But uh, I think we have the perfect like sort

184
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: of excitement surrounding them right now. Good wins. You know again,

185
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Celtics missing some guys there, I mean, their back court

186
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: is like, hey, we got to go to Jeff Teague.

187
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: You know that's never a good side.

188
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: But you know again, like that game was close enough

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: that the Celtics could have food.

190
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: Well, look, if Jason Williams doesn't do the old pump

191
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: fake in the corner, maybe he splashes that three, Like

192
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: what a play by white chocolate from the corner. Jason Williams.

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Grant Williams plus Jason t Right, Jason Williams, I

194
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: love it.

195
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: I was warning fifty five, maybe that goes down. I

196
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: was thinking of Grant Williams. Yeah, with the unbelievable miss,

197
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 2: the free throw miss, like executed perfectly getting it back himself. Nice,

198
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 2: that was very, very nice. But yeah, Tatum, he's sort

199
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: of like, yeah, he threw a pump fake in there.

200
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he needed to lately. It may have

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: been a smoother shot, he may have had a better

202
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: chests knocking out. But anyway, Kings get to win. Tray

203
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: said it. We got a second King question here. This

204
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: one's a lot more fun. True or false. Tyrese Haliburton

205
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: is the clear cut rookie of the year favoritely, and

206
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: I ask you this because he had another good game

207
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: last night twenty one points, four assists, three boards, a

208
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: couple of steals, heads up plays left and right, and

209
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: he was just nearing the Western Conference Rookie of the

210
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: Month for December games and January games. They lumped those

211
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: two together. So is Halliburton lake Is he sort of

212
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: running away this early with Rookie of the year tru

213
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: or false?

214
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: False? No way, he's running away with it. He's been

215
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 4: excellent and maybe the biggest surprise because this has been

216
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: a very good draft class, very good rookie class. But

217
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: to say Clearcut to me is like he's basically almost

218
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: can't lose it from here. And I don't even think

219
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 4: he's the favorite right now. I've got LaMelo Ball, who

220
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: was the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month just announced

221
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: there with Tyrese Haliburt. Haliburton last night was great, hitting

222
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: those threes. Had a very very smart play at the

223
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: end of the third quarter where the shot went up

224
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: and he just ran in, caught it and laid it

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 4: off the off the backboard to give them a two

226
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: pointer at the end of the quarter. There. He's great.

227
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: You know, defensively he's been good. He's making some places team.

228
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: But I think if there's anyone right now, it's LaMelo

229
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 4: Ball who's the Who's again not clear cut because I

230
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: don't think it's that it's set in stone by any means,

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: but he's been fantastic. Therefore, the Charlotte Hornets starting, I

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: mean great now, they lost last night, but if you

233
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: want to go into the sort of geeky stats of it,

234
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 4: we can do that.

235
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: Why not.

236
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball is second in scoring, behind Anthony Edwards, who's

237
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: also been very good. LaMelo Ball is second in rebounding,

238
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: behind behind James Wiseman, who has tailed off a little

239
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: bit got injured as well there, but he started off

240
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: really well. And then LaMelo Ball is leading rookies in

241
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: assists and Tyre's Halliburton is coming in second there, so

242
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 4: you know.

243
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: They're they're tied for wind shares, both LaMelo Ball and Hilbert.

244
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: You want to get really geeky, that's why they're at

245
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: the top of the leaderboard time. LaMelo balls and is

246
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: a minus one point seven net rating. Tyres is a

247
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: minus two point seven.

248
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: So but listen, I think overall again that there's some

249
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: really really good rookies in this class. And I just

250
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: don't think while I would have Lamello's favorite from now,

251
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: I still wouldn't think that. Wouldn't be surprised if someone

252
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: else was to come along and win the Rookie of

253
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: the Year, which is great, which is really good for

254
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: the NBA. So I know, I don't think he's click out.

255
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: I saw that in Zilla's article as well this morning,

256
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: and I think he's a brilliant ride, but a disagreet omer.

257
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 5: You don't get to homer other people, especially about the

258
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: Sacramento kids. But Tom Ziller big enough Tyre's Halliburton for

259
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year. That's a certain case because I

260
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: think you can lock LaMelo in as Rookie of the Year.

261
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 5: I think you can lock Tyree's Halliburton in as the

262
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 5: guy that the internet is going to say should win

263
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year because he's so much fun to

264
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 5: watch out there. He looks already like he's going to

265
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: be the next andre Iguidala, or the next Shane Battier,

266
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 5: the next Al Horford, the guy that kind of like

267
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: puts your team together. Maybe he's not your superstar, but

268
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 5: you have to have him out there because he's such

269
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: an instrumental piece to making the offense look right. To

270
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 5: making the defense look right, to making the right play

271
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: every single time. But when you look at it, LaMelo,

272
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: if you're talking just totals, he's almost at the top

273
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: of points, rebounds, and assists. He was until just recently,

274
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 5: and he's just now getting a chance to start. Halliburton's

275
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 5: gonna be in the guy in the Western Conference, I

276
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 5: do think, But I think Lamela is gonna take home

277
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 5: the Really.

278
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. I wanted to ask this question though,

279
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: you know, off of that game last night. I think

280
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: you guys got the right answer with this one going

281
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: false definitely clear cut. I mean I was embellishing a

282
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: little bit there. It might be tight. We'll see, but

283
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: I gotta point this out, Trey, you'll love this. So

284
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: we do the rebound highlights, right, big beef talk to me.

285
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: We love it. That's sort of our thing, that's your thing.

286
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: Then we talked about the Siico zach Low and his

287
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: closeout highlights. I mean, that's just next level. Like we're

288
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: talking about rebound highlights. He's talking about closeouts. Well, how

289
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: about this House of Highlights? That's what they're called their

290
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 2: YouTube channel. I saw this morning they had a clip

291
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: Tyree's Halliburton smartly foulsas to stop Brown getting a game

292
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: tying three. We're talking about fouling up three. Highlights are pushing,

293
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, the love for Haliburton. Now they push the

294
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: love for LaMelo Ball. Don't get me wrong too. You

295
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: know LaMelo Ball like you know, looks at someone and

296
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: bets and I they throw that up. But my god,

297
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: tray a fouling up three, That's that's too far. I

298
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: love Tyre's Helburt. I love the Kings. I was like,

299
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: come on, guys, I mean again, a smart play. Don't

300
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: get me wrong, he's a rookie. Like, sure, good foul.

301
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: We don't need to cut it and put it up.

302
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: I clicked, I want this this morning. I had to

303
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: see this foul and honestly, not that impressive. I thought,

304
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: I want to be like this guy pulls a fowl

305
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, But it happened, and the King's broadcast

306
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: is like, I was wondering when somebody was gonna do.

307
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: A foul like that.

308
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 5: But a forty eight second clip of a guy fouling

309
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: off of a dribble hand off incredible stuff. We're definitely

310
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 5: gonna be blasting out an exploding brain. Meme that goes

311
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: on screen assist, rebound, highlight, close out, highlight, smart foul.

312
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: Smart.

313
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, you gotta say, though I haven't checked

314
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: the stats.

315
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: I have not checked the stats, but I think Tyre's

316
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 5: Halliburton has to be leading all rookies in smart fouls

317
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 5: in the last minute of a game. Ridiculous stuff. Well,

318
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 5: the house, some highlights. We built this house on fling.

319
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: Let me check the hustle stats. Let me see if

320
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: I can the hustle leaders. Okay, let's see what's in

321
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: the hustle leaders.

322
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean, look, look, we're joking, but haliburn is, like

323
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: you said it, Trey, he already looks like a guy

324
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: that's been in the league for ten years. Like you're like,

325
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: this guy is a he's a rock like man paired

326
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: him paired with Fox too. And I know they're doing

327
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: like the three guard thing with Buddy in there at

328
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: times and that and that's great. That's fine, man. That's

329
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,479
Speaker 2: just a young really talented especially like offensively and defensively.

330
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: Backhard not to get too excited again about the Kings,

331
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: but haliburtons is great. You got those hustle stats, my.

332
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: Man, What do you got well, yeah, this is I mean, Jesus,

333
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: I've got to look up.

334
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: This shit sometimes and you don't even know what you're

335
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: looking at.

336
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 4: What I don't know what I'm looking at with hustle leaders,

337
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: but I've got deflections per game. There's also deflections per

338
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: thirty six out there. Then oh my god, loose bulls recovered.

339
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: Have you never seen this?

340
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 4: People?

341
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have, but I didn't know why didn't know

342
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: we did?

343
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: We were doing it by per thirty six as well.

344
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe it's a little much, all right. Uh

345
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: so we still think maybe LaMelo Ball ultimately wins Rookie

346
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: of the Year. But I'm with you, guys, Helliburton's going

347
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: to make it very interesting, especially if the Kings, you know,

348
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: do continue to win games and maybe impress some people,

349
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: and he's having an impact. That's that's for damn sure,

350
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: for damn sure. All right, our next one here. Paul

351
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: George drained eight of nine three pointers last night scored

352
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: thirty six as the Clippers ended a long road trip

353
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: with the one ninety nine victory over the cass It

354
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: was good timing for Paul George, whose name was all

355
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: over NBA Twitter yesterday because in a memorable section of

356
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: his new book, Veteran forward, Jared Dudley explained why the

357
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: Lakers took such exception to the Clippers last year Paul George,

358
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: in particular, during the NBA bubble. Dudley wrote, we think

359
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: it's disrespectful for Paul George, who hasn't one to put

360
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 2: himself on the level of bron and ad. This motivates us. Okay,

361
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: this got back to Paul George. He was asked about

362
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: these comments. He said, God bless them, God bless you, Jared.

363
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: God bless you Jared Dudley. That's well done. God bless you, Jared.

364
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: God thank you for writing books. Paul George continued, I

365
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. Dudes love throwing my name

366
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: and stuff. So the question here, the true or false question,

367
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: is does Paul George demand our respect? You know, a

368
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: lot more than what he's given. And I mean, I'll

369
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: sort of go first here. I actually don't know where

370
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: I fall on this, if it's true or false. On

371
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: one hand, I didn't know Dudley was writing a book.

372
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: Did anybody know this? Like, guess what it came out of? Nowhere?

373
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: I thought I thought Ben Golliver had the NBA Bubble exclusive. Okay,

374
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: and I know that book's coming out a little bit

375
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: later shout out to Ben Oliver. But I guess Dudley

376
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: found time to write one too. But it is weird

377
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: these comments, like why they're so upset with Paul George,

378
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: especially slipping in the Anthony Davis, who remember at the time,

379
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: had it won anything before last year and won a title.

380
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: So it's like they were sort off if you asked

381
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: me to be honest, like Paul George and Ay were

382
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: on a similar level in terms of their career. No,

383
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: Dye's got the title, and he's hit some big shots

384
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: obviously and has had some good playoff performances. But anyway,

385
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: I don't know where to go with this one, Lely,

386
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: like I don't know if it's true or false. Like

387
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know has has the internet gone so far?

388
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: Not just the Internet, I guess other players, like with

389
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: their sort of hatred to Paul George that we need

390
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: to veer back to, Like, Okay, come on, this guy's

391
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: guy is an elite player. I mean, we're not saying

392
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: he's Lebron or Kawhi, but he's like the next tier,

393
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: doesn't he belong to that one.

394
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I think he's put it on

395
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 4: a little bit himself by, you know, switching teams and

396
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: talking a little trash.

397
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: But he's not the first one to switch teams in

398
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: this league, let.

399
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: Of course, not of course not. Let me ask you.

400
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: You got guy like Anthony Davis, right right, But do

401
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: you would you say Paul George is a Hall of

402
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 4: Famer right now? Six time All Stuff, five time All NBA,

403
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 4: four time All Defense, you know, rookie most improved, blah

404
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 4: blah blah. Probably yes, I'd say he's on the way

405
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 4: to the Hall of Fame for sure. I think he's

406
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 4: got enough time, and I think he's a star player.

407
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: So in that sense, I think if you think he's

408
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer, then he gets your respect. I

409
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 4: think if you dismiss him and think, no, he can't

410
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: get to the Hall of Fame even if he doesn't

411
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: win a championship, then maybe you don't rate him that highly.

412
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: But I think he's on that way. This guy suffered

413
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: an awful, awful, you know, potentially almost career season, career

414
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 4: ending injury and bounce back and was very very good.

415
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: You know, he was thirty in MVP voting, you know

416
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 4: what a season after that, So I think he does

417
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: get it, but I think he's almost He just sort

418
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 4: of puts his foot in his mouth a few times

419
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: and says some silly things and dumb things. But if

420
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 4: the Clippers win the championship, you know, not necessarily this season,

421
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: but if they do it while he's there and he

422
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: just signed that five year extension, then I think automatically

423
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: that sort of vaults him into that category of like, Okay,

424
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: he's a legit star and he's lived up to that

425
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: reputation because when he started out in Indiana those first

426
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: couple of seasons, he was awesome to watch.

427
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: You know, he was like an Internet darling exactly going

428
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: to you know, battling Lebron and Gat but his respect

429
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: and then it's like, it's crazy how his career is

430
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: like gone. Actually yeah, in terms of just his populararity,

431
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: you've taken a die for sure.

432
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and you know, he was like those

433
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: Paces teams really pushed the heatles as well, so he

434
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: was he was right there. But then he, you know,

435
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: like a lot of people, he sort of he demanded

436
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 4: a trade. He kind of powdered his way out of

437
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 4: Indiana and then he sort of I mean what happened there?

438
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 4: And okay, see he was there for two seasons and

439
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: then he just said I want to go to LA

440
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: and so they traded him. I mean again, like that's

441
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 4: so many other guys have done that sort of stuff.

442
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 4: So now it's almost like, Okay, this is what you wanted,

443
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: this is what you asked for. You have to go

444
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: out there and perform. And the fact that they lost

445
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: after having a three one lead against the Nuggets, I

446
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: think people really like to pile on him for that

447
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 4: because he wasn't very good in the bubble in the

448
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: play Now.

449
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: He's had some disappointing playoffs, yeah, gains and performances. I mean,

450
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: so is are we at the point with him Tree

451
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: where no matter what Paul George does in the regular season,

452
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: no matter what Paul George says, like, hey, give me

453
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: the respect. And again we see some of these other

454
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: players sort of like taking shots at him, it won't

455
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: matter until he wins the title. Like is that where

456
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: we're at? Is he sort of hardened like in a

457
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: weird way like that, like it's like, sorry, man, now

458
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: you just have to win a title or no one's

459
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: gonna like love you again. What do you think.

460
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 5: I think that's totally it. I took a pledge this year.

461
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 5: I'm not saying anything bad about Paula George. But if

462
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 5: Jared Dudley wants to say it, God blessed Jared Dudley.

463
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

464
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 5: The thing with Paul George is he's an incredible player, right,

465
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 5: he really is. When you hear Lee list off the

466
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 5: accomplishments in his career, we know he's still in the

467
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 5: prime of his career. He's gonna be piling up the

468
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 5: counting stats. He probably will go to the Hall of Fame.

469
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 5: But all people want to do is see him take

470
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: a little bit of accountability here.

471
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: You know, he missed.

472
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: He takes one free throw against the nets, and he

473
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 5: play saying it's disrespectful. Maybe he had an excerpt from

474
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 5: Jared Dudley's books, so he's playing the respect card.

475
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: Early.

476
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: Interesting now that this is coming out, I'm thinking some

477
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: back channel books swapping was going down there. But in

478
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 5: the same game, Kyrie Irving took three free ros. He

479
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: scored a whole bunch of points. The last two of

480
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 5: his free throws were a fouling situation, so he really

481
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 5: only had one during the competitive portion of the game.

482
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 5: We would just like to see Paul George lose a

483
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 5: game and be like, yeah, I could have been a

484
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 5: little bit better. That's all people want to do. So

485
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 5: he should kind of just take a chill pill. He

486
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 5: should wait until he wins a championship or at least

487
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 5: makes it to the NBA Finals, and then write his

488
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 5: own book trashing all these other guys saying, yeah, you

489
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 5: are trash talking me. Look now, I'm on top of

490
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 5: the world until that happens.

491
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: Though.

492
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: People are not gonna take it seriously. You can have

493
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 5: eight threes in a game on February third, and it

494
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 5: doesn't matter if you're not doing it on June third.

495
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. I can't wait to read

496
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: this Dudley book though. Ley, I mean again, he turned

497
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: this around quickly. I gotta give it to duns all way.

498
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 4: For you to read and you can tell me what

499
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: it's told about.

500
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: Then Okay, it's only forty two pages there. Really, that's

501
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: not a book, Yeah, exactly, that's a novella. I think

502
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: it's I think it's like a two dollars kindle thing.

503
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, Well, I wish I didn't call it

504
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: a book. I should have done some research. I didn't

505
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: know that. Thank you for that fact check. That's not

506
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: a book.

507
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 3: Everybody's calling it a book. But it's a forty two

508
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: page book.

509
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: No, so that doesn't count.

510
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I agree with you. But I'm just saying.

511
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: Ben Dolliver, Ben Dolliver's writing a book.

512
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm looking forward to that.

513
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: Not that I'm not.

514
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not going to read this book either,

515
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 3: but I mean, I'll read Dolliver's book, but I don't know.

516
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 3: Forty two pages. I guess it's a quick book to read.

517
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: It's not a book, first off, but yeah, you can

518
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: read it quickly. Yeah, it's a it's a PDF you

519
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: can sort of fly through. For sure. I'll give it

520
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: a go. I didn't know that. I'm gonna go.

521
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:35,040

00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: about yourself in your own jazz. Like it feels like

539
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 4: there are times you're writing things and you're like, oh

579
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: go right to it. JAD, you want to show everybody

580
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: on the stream team true or false? Zion had Wednesday's

581
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: best highlight. We are showing for the listeners. Uh Bledsoe

582
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 2: throwing the one handed oop to a skying Zion Williamson

583
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 2: who chucking down with ease. Big win for the Pelicans.

584
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 2: We should note as well, so trure false, That dunk

585
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: that we just showed you on the stream team was

586
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: the best highlight from Wednesday. What do you think, Tray? Oh,

587
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: come on, skeates, this is big time true. Forget putting

588
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: it on a polster. Oh no, don't do it. Forget highlights.

589
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: This was the NBA top shot of the night.

590
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 5: I saw Zion skying for that oop throwing down right handed.

591
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: Still feels like that should be his normal hand cause

592
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 5: you're used to seeing the right handed noop, I saw it.

593
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 5: I said, give me the top shot. I gotta hop

594
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 5: on Twitter. Let skeets know all about this because this

595
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: is hilarious that we were talking about Zion Highlights coming

596
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 5: into the year. We both start to dabble in NBA

597
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: Top Shot and then Zion throws down a massive dunk

598
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 5: in a huge game. He went twelve or fourteen this game.

599
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 5: Literally now you can buy stock in highlights and Zion

600
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 5: had a great one last night.

601
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: I was loving it.

602
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 5: The prices did not go up a whole bunch yet,

603
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 5: but I can't wait until this drops in a pack.

604
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: This is legendary status, a rare Hello serial number.

605
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: Give me that mint.

606
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: Wow.

607
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: If you have no idea what Trey's talking about right now,

608
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just turned into a Southern

609
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: lawyer there. Right now. We're gonna talk about NBA Top

610
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: Shot in the future. I don't even want to get

611
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: started on this podcast right now, but we will either

612
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: do its own podcast. I'm sure it'll come up in

613
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: NBA Happy Hour tonight too. It's crazy what's going on

614
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: out there. I can't wait to talk to Lee about

615
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: it so much, like we're gonna blow his mind with

616
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: this stuff. Anyway, Lee, a good dunk, very very good dunk.

617
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: Treas it was the best of the night, do you agree,

618
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 2: true Fosse false.

619
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: The best player of the night came early. I had

620
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 4: this one up.

621
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: JD.

622
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: Roll it.

623
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I wanted to get it back. Here comes

624
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball with his hair on fire. Well it's a

625
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: free call.

626
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 4: Oh he comes to Mellow with his hair on fire.

627
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: Line.

628
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: Eric Collins is awesome. He is such a perfect play

629
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 4: by play guy to have for LaMelo and Miles Bridges

630
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: out there because he does lose his mind so well

631
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: on earned those plays.

632
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: But you know, yesterday we were.

633
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: Talking on the beach about has LaMelo Ball already surpassed

634
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: Jason Williams White Chocolate for highlights? And I said, no question,

635
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: he has not this far too early. But that to

636
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: me was really much like a Jason Williams highlight. That

637
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: that behind the back in transition to throw it down

638
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: to the go don't again. Let's hear it one more time.

639
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: JD wanted to get it back. Here comes Lamela Paul

640
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: with his hair on fire. It's a great baby. Yeah,

641
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, the pass is fine, the dunk is better.

642
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: It's a combination. It's no, no, no doubt.

643
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 4: It's the flash of the behind the back in transition.

644
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: And then Bridge is just throwing down the windmill like

645
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: Eric Collins. I mean, that was just so awesome to watch.

646
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 4: I thought that was an incredible play, just a great moment.

647
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: The Horns have been so much more fun to watch

648
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: this year, and partly because Eric Collins just like like

649
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: homer Ism, like there's no even denying it anymore. Between

650
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: most of the play by play commentators, they're just like

651
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 4: they're cheerleaders. And if you could be great like Eric Collins,

652
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: why not It adds to the broadcast if you ask me.

653
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: Of course. I mean, like Mark Jones on The King's Broadcast,

654
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: like it gives some life to a broadcast, Like it's

655
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: a better watch. You know when Deer and Fox, you know,

656
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: put somebody on skeets or like you know, Haliburton makes

657
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: a great play like it and they go nuts. Yeah,

658
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: for sure.

659
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 5: He had a great line last night. Mark Jones did

660
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: off of a Darren Fox pass. I think he's like

661
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: put a little sauce on it. I was watching the

662
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 5: highlights this morning and ato was like a little.

663
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: Sauce on it, silly. I was like, oh, yeah, you

664
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: should have seen this past girl.

665
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 4: Nice pass.

666
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring this up because I'm happy here today, Trey,

667
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: you're saying it was the best play Wednesday night. That's fine.

668
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: It was a nice dunk from Zion, but I couldn't

669
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: believe it. The NBA's top ten on their YouTube channel,

670
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: they had that oop from Zion at number seven, number seven.

671
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: I actually thought it was low. But I had come

672
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: into the season. You guys know by now, I was

673
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: talking this whole thing. I had this weird hot take,

674
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: put a little spice on it about Zion being like

675
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: overvalued the highlights he had given us up to that point.

676
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: I just thought the NBA was going a little too overboard.

677
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: So I was very pleasantly surprised, almotle shocked that they

678
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: had it out that low because there were some other

679
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: good dunks last night. That was a nice one that transitioned.

680
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: You had Thearly Porzingis had a dunk on Capella which

681
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: was pretty damn big, and the Mavericks big win over

682
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: the Hawks. I just want to give a little love

683
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: to this Derozean dunk on I think it was on

684
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: Josha Koji. Here, DeRozan is angry in this dunk. Now,

685
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: it would have been great if Josh had like jumped

686
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more to really block it. But holy crap,

687
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: I love a good DeRozan dunk. He just hammers that,

688
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: especially as a bit of a smaller guy. You not

689
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: like a giant like power forward or something like that,

690
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: as an athletic wing, huge, huge, and like, man, when's

691
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: all said and done, he's gonna have a six sick

692
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: sick NBA mixtape. I mean, I'm sure it exists already,

693
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: people are already cutting this stuff together. But I would pay

694
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: fourteen dollars for that top shotly Trey instantaneously does it.

695
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: It could be a common no idea what you're talking

696
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: about with shot, but I love it.

697
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might like it, actually might get into it.

698
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: So a big dunk, but Zion's probably better than that one.

699
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you, guys, with all these final one

700
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: we'll just keep it moving here, sure or false? The

701
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Miami Heater in trouble and I'll ask you firstly, because

702
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: Beal scored thirty two Wizards rallied from a thirteen point

703
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: deficit to beat Miami one O three, one hundred l

704
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: and yeah, Jimmy Butler played Bam, played Draggage, played Hero,

705
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: played the last drops Miami to I think seven to

706
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: fourteen in the Eastern Conference. Are you concerned? Are they

707
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: in trouble? True of false.

708
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 4: That was definitely a stinker, no doubt last night the

709
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: Wizard's coming off of back to back to Westbrook was

710
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 4: sitting out, although you know sometimes they have played better

711
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 4: without him, but they led this one big.

712
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: And lew it at the end.

713
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: And yeah, you mentioned they had all their guys the Heat.

714
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: This is the one that I would have thought, this

715
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 4: is this is going to get the Heat back on

716
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: track here, but real deal beals too much for them

717
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: down stretch there. But no, I'm not worried about the Heat.

718
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 4: I just believe we've seen so much of them in

719
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 4: the past, about their continuity, their players, their defense, their culture,

720
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: Heat culture, that they will get back on track. And again,

721
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 4: there's a couple of those teams ahead of them in

722
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference, you know, like the Knicks and like

723
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: the Bulls and the Magic who I think they're better than.

724
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: So I think they will figure it out. But you know,

725
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: that was one last night that certainly you would have backed.

726
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 4: I think I think I pick them game. We would

727
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: have all picked the Heat to win that one.

728
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: Probably.

729
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, they're jew for a win, and they

730
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 4: looked like they were getting it there last night but

731
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 4: came up short. But you know, I've just I have

732
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: too much faith in Eric's bolster and pat rally there

733
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: to get it right. There's still plenty of time.

734
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,959
Speaker 2: Just in a little bit of a rut right now.

735
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler didn't look all.

736
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: That flash last night either. I thought he looked a

737
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 4: little bit heavy in the legs and he's probably gonna

738
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: take a few games to get his win back. So

739
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 4: no real reason to worry too much about the heat.

740
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: But they're not a top four team, you know, they're

741
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 4: a playoff team. They're a playoff team, and as I

742
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 4: said before, once you get to the playoffs, if they're

743
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 4: all healthy, they're going to be tough against no matter

744
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 4: who they match up with.

745
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well, all eyes are on them though, I think

746
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: though now Trey, because the Mavericks like they got the

747
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: you know that crucial like sort of stem the bleeding

748
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: win versus the Hawks last night they were on a

749
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: losing streak. Dallas West, Well, okay, they got a good victory.

750
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: You know. Well, who's sort of like a good team

751
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: that's struggling Now, I think it's the heat. I think

752
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: they're at the top of that sort of leaderboard. So

753
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: I wonder if you're going to start seeing, you know,

754
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: more articles about them and what's going on, and are

755
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: you pressing the panic button? Lee says no, but what

756
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: about you?

757
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: I'm with Lee here, but I agree with you, Skeets.

758
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 5: I think that now that Jimmy Butler is back, you

759
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 5: lose a game against the Wizards, obviously people are going

760
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: to start focusing on you.

761
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 2: But still pretty early. It seems crazy.

762
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 5: You know, they're seven and fourteen, pretty far under five

763
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 5: hundred right now, there's still just three games out of

764
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 5: the sixth seed. And I don't think it's out of

765
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 5: the realm of possibility that some of the teams ahead

766
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 5: of them, you look at the calves, their schedule is

767
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: going to be getting a lot harder right now. The Knicks,

768
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 5: the Bulls, I hate to say it, they could both

769
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 5: fall off. They could easily both decide, yeah, we're going

770
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 5: to start moving some of these players who've been playing

771
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: pretty well for picks here for something in the future,

772
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 5: right Like, the Bulls could decide to pull out of

773
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 5: the play in tournament and move Thatteus Young. The Knicks

774
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 5: could do that with Julius Randall. The Calves could do

775
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 5: that with Andre Drummond. Those are all probably the smart

776
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 5: team building moves, in which case they probably get worse,

777
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 5: and Miami is not going to stay a bottom five

778
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 5: shooting team in the league for the entirety of the season.

779
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

780
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 5: Now having Jimmy back, if these other teams fall off,

781
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 5: and if they get their three point shot back, they

782
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: turn it around a little bit. I do think it's

783
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 5: been a problem that goran dragon. She doesn't get to

784
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: the rim quite as easily so far. But if he's

785
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 5: able to round himself into shape, if they're able to

786
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 5: start putting pressure on the rim, that makes the three

787
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 5: point shots easier. The free throws will come back around.

788
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 5: For Jimmy Butler, we know that's a major point for

789
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 5: him for efficient scoring. So I'm not super worried.

790
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 2: About the heat.

791
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 5: They've got the track record, and if anything, they seem

792
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 5: like a team who could be actively trying to acquire

793
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 5: people at the trade deadline, if it's Bradley Beal maybe,

794
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 5: or maybe even somebody else, because they're not a team

795
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 5: that's going to be happy to be taking a step

796
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 5: from the NBA Finals one season to out of.

797
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: The playoffs the next. So the heat, to me can

798
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: only go up from here. Okay, all right, well we

799
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 2: got lots more still in today's show, But first a

800
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: quick word from our sponsors. All Right, I teased a

801
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 2: question that we were going to ask yesterday, but we

802
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: were start of running a little long, so I say

803
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: that let's put it on the shelf. We'll come back

804
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: to it. So let's go to it now. Let's hit

805
00:35:49,640 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 2: the beach again. Why not? Yeah, we hit the beach yesterday.

806
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 2: Go check that podcast out. You also watch it on

807
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 2: YouTube if you want to. But this one from Wilkerson

808
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: abroad in Arabia. He says, Hey, no dunks. I've often

809
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: thought that one of the issues that makes voting for

810
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: MVP and the NBA so tough is that we don't

811
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: have an Offensive Player of the Year award. I'm not

812
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: saying the selection process would all of a sudden become

813
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: as easy as rock herrots and hummus if we did

814
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 2: have an OPOY, but I do think the process would

815
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: become easier all of a sudden. We would have an

816
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: award that can recognize a brilliant offensive season without giving

817
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: that player an MVP. This would then allow everyone to

818
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: move away from certain candidates for MVP if, for example,

819
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: their team's success wasn't up to snuff, or if they

820
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: happened to be a player who played no defense cough cough, Harden.

821
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: Although Yannis won the MVP and DPOY last year, that's

822
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 2: a bit of an outlier. Usually the players in line

823
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: for DPOY aren't in contention for MVP. OPOY could be

824
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: the same. I think this would allow everyone to focus

825
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 2: on the great superstars of our league who are complete players,

826
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: and this would hopefully allow the award to more frequently

827
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: be given to the person who is quote here the

828
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: best player in the world. Turn ups, lava, lamps blossom. Again,

829
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 2: that's from Wilkerson, the OPOY. I know Rachel Nichols has

830
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: talked about this in the past from the jump tray.

831
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: What's your take on this idea? Do you like it

832
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: or no?

833
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 5: Well, I got a few thoughts on this. Deep in

834
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 5: their hearts, everyone knows offense is more important than defense,

835
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: which is why the MVP is pretty much the offensive

836
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 5: player of the Year. David Aldridge had a great piece

837
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 5: recently at the Athletic to which you can subscribe at

838
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 5: the Athletic dot Com slash no Dunks, explaining why defense

839
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 5: first players have a harder time getting paid in the NBA,

840
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: and it's because scoring points is one hundred percent the

841
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 5: thing that matters the most. But I still love this idea.

842
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 5: I would be willing to have this award named after me.

843
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 5: I'm that big of a person. If you want to

844
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 5: name it the Trey Kirby Offensive Player of the Year Award.

845
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: I think it's great because I don't actually think that

846
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 5: every single season would be the.

847
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 2: Exact same as the MVP.

848
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: Obviously, a lot of the times the Offensive Player of

849
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: the Year would likely win the MVP. But they do

850
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 5: this in the NFL. They've given out forty eight Offensive

851
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 5: Player of the Year awards, but only twenty eight of

852
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 5: those were also the MVP that season. It's probably gonna

853
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 5: be a little bit closer in basketball, but I don't

854
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 5: think it'll be.

855
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: Exactly the exact same.

856
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 5: You know, maybe seventy five percent of the Offensive Player

857
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 5: of the Year wins MVP or something like that. James

858
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 5: Harden is a guy that you look at and say,

859
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 5: obviously he would be stacking up OPO wise, and people

860
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 5: would be very happy to leave him off their MVP

861
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 5: ballots if that were the case. So yeah, I'm never

862
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 5: against additional awards. It would be strange to do it

863
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 5: this deep into the NBA's history and have the same

864
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: kind of cachet the MVP and Defensive Player of the

865
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 5: Year awards have you know, the Twyeman Stokes Teamwork Award

866
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 5: is still in its infancy, hasn't really taken off yet.

867
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 5: But if you have something as big name as the OPO,

868
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 5: why I think it'd be a great idea.

869
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 2: Okay, Lee, what do you think? I mean, your guy

870
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal might be on the running for OPOI this

871
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: year despite his team's.

872
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean we have Defensive Player of the Year,

873
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 4: so why not just scrap m v P and have

874
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: Offensive Player of the Year. Then then then.

875
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: It's scraped them.

876
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 4: You want to scrap themv Well, then it solves that

877
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 4: problem of like, well, what's valuable? Does he play both

878
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 4: ends of the floor? Is his team's best scorer? Does

879
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 4: he you know, does he lead the league in a category? Like,

880
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 4: just scrap one of them or just reword the m

881
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 4: v P the just best player this season? You know,

882
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: because I.

883
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: Think that's what Wilkerson is saying, we would do if

884
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: you made O POY, we would sort of like look

885
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: at m VP as best player in the world.

886
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the league.

887
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that's that's why.

888
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 4: I think. That's why I think because we do get

889
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 4: caught up in the wording of it, which is unnecessary.

890
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 4: Just just make a best player, best offensive player, and

891
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 4: best defensive player, and then then then one guy is

892
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: going to win all three one year for sure, you know,

893
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 4: like that like Jarnas. Maybe Yannas is going to win

894
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 4: it last year, all three of them.

895
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

896
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: I think I think it's you know, these things. We

897
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 4: always talk about this, and we had it on one

898
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 4: of our beach step and I think in the summer

899
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: where it was like, you know, Lebron James should be

900
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: an eleven time MVP because he's been the best player

901
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 4: in the league pretty much every season he's been in

902
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 4: the NBA. There's no question about that. He should have

903
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 4: won Defensive Player of the Year probably a couple of

904
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 4: times as well, because when he decided to play defense,

905
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 4: he was the best defensive player and he came runner

906
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 4: up that I think only once, Didy or twice. Maybe

907
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. But you know the point being that

908
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: we look at these and then sometimes we just dismiss

909
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 4: who wins them anyway, to say, well, Yannis wasn't the

910
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: best player last year. Lebron was because his team went

911
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 4: on to win the finals and he was finals MVP.

912
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: What would you rather win? Would you rather be Lebron

913
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 4: or Yannis?

914
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: I think, well that's a whole other argument though too.

915
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a regular season yeah, but see squares

916
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 2: and we for some reason can't you know, separate the

917
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: playoffs from them, because you just did exactly what most

918
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: people do. It's like, well, yeah, Jannis is an MVP guy.

919
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: It bounced in the second round. Well no, no, no,

920
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: he got MVP for the regular season. That has nothing

921
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: to do with playoffs.

922
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 4: Here we say it, yeah, and that that's why when

923
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: I did that breakdown, that's why, you know, if you

924
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 4: look at the season in totality, you know, obviously yeah

925
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 4: much right, Like you think about when Dirk Novitski won

926
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 4: his MVP they got swept or swept the upset by

927
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: the We Believe Warriors, So you know what sort of

928
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 4: a season memory would Dirk Novitsky have? Like, oh great,

929
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: I was voted best player in the league, but then

930
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 4: we had an embarrassing first round exit, you know, So it's, yeah,

931
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: there's no answer to these things because people are going

932
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 4: to have such different interpretations of what's valuable. And then

933
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 4: you know, like, is James Harden the best offensive player

934
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 4: on a team if you know they lose in the

935
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: first round the playoffs, but he puts up forty points

936
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 4: a game, to people just say we'll give him an

937
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 4: award for that, or should it really translate into victories

938
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 4: and wins? I mean, there's never going to be a

939
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: total agreement on that, and I think that's you're never

940
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 4: going to get the right answer anyway.

941
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 2: Who would be at the top of your offensive player

942
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 2: of the year rankings right now, Trey, Like, who would

943
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: be one, two, three? If you can? And I'm putting

944
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: you on the spot here a little bit, but who

945
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: would you go?

946
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 5: Well, number one, Zach Lavine, JJK in the mechs in

947
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 5: the mix. I would certainly have Bradley Beal. You know,

948
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 5: he's leading the league and scoring he is at about

949
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 5: thirty five per game. He's the number one guy on

950
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 5: the Wizards. All the attention is on him. He is

951
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 5: just an offensive player. I think the Donk would probably

952
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 5: be in the mix score and close to thirty a

953
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 5: game with ten assists, and maybe Jokic as well. I'm

954
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 5: just kind of looking at, you know, the scoring and

955
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 5: the assisting aspects of it. So maybe those three, perhaps

956
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 5: you're throwing Durant in the mix as well, But I

957
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 5: would definitely think that Beal and Doncic are two guys

958
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 5: who are not high up in the MVP racers who

959
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 5: would be very much higher in the OPOY.

960
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. So. What's funny about this though, is

961
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: like you slipped it in there sometimes with defensive player

962
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: the year, not every year, because Giannis is a you know,

963
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: contrary to this what I'm gonna say here last year,

964
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: but you sometimes with the defensive player that there go like, well, uh,

965
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: he's not that good at offense, right, Like he can

966
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,479
Speaker 2: focus all on defense, like go Behar and Draymond Green

967
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and that actually helps their case.

968
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: So would the same thing happen, like you said, Trey

969
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: for offensive players, Like it's like you're almost penalized for

970
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: your chances to win this OPOY if you like a

971
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: decent defender or average defender, like you're better off being

972
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: Bell or something like that. So it's sort of weird

973
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: in a way. But look, I'm all for another award,

974
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: just for ust to debate it. Content, baby, content, that's it. Yeah,

975
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: I love it.

976
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 5: I love the idea of making the case that this

977
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 5: guy does too much defensively to win the Offensive Player

978
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 5: of the Year.

979
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: I love it.

980
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 5: That's a that's a locked in position for me. I

981
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 5: do got a little trivia for you guys. I mentioned

982
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 5: the NFL is beginning out the Offensive Player of the

983
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 5: Year award for.

984
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 2: A long time.

985
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 5: All of them but two have gone to quarterbacks and

986
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 5: running backs, as you would expect. Two wide receivers, though,

987
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 5: have won NFL Offensive Player of the Year. One was

988
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 5: Michael Thomas last year. I don't think you guys would

989
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: get that.

990
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 2: No offense, Jerry Rice, look at it.

991
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 6: I know the big skin, I know the big Skins,

992
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 6: guys going deep for Jerry Rice. The big question though,

993
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 6: I mean the big question of our lifetimes. Who's the

994
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 6: greatest receiver ever? Jerry Rice or Randy Moss.

995
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 5: Gimme Randy again, the consistent f every single time, but

996
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 5: the highlights are incredible, and you know sometimes he'll moon

997
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 5: the opposing fans good stuff.

998
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 4: How many how many balls as he got? Is that

999
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 4: what they call him? Bowls or rings? I don't know.

1000
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 4: Jerry Rice won? Jerry Rice went like a lot with

1001
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 4: Joe Montana.

1002
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah he won a lot? How did How many did

1003
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 2: he won with the Patriots? Did he get? He might?

1004
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: I don't think he won.

1005
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 5: I don't think he won super Bowl because I think

1006
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 5: he was on that team that's undefeated.

1007
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 2: And yeah the super Bowl? Wow, Oh give me Jerry

1008
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: Race then reight Lely the rings man. That's right.

1009
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe Montana used to put it on a plate

1010
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 4: for Jerry. Jerry used to eat that Rice up. I

1011
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 4: don't know.

1012
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: Is that a thing?

1013
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 5: That is?

1014
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: Now? It is?

1015
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: Now?

1016
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: Before we take an a break, Why don't we get

1017
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: this bell trades all we're talking about O po Why

1018
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: why not? He might be at the top of the

1019
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: leader board, so let's treat him. Where are we going today?

1020
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so last night watching the Hornets and the Sixers,

1021
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 4: and the Hornets have probably outperformed expectation to this point,

1022
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 4: and largely because Gordon Hayward's been pretty good. So and

1023
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, we know that the Hornets are not a

1024
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 4: free agent destination, even though Gordon Hayward went there, but

1025
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that was a big coup for them.

1026
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 4: You know, it was like, you know, sure you got

1027
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 4: Gordon Hayward, So why not jump all in here. If

1028
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 4: you are Michael Jordan and the Hornets and try to

1029
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 4: see if he can get hold of Bradley Biller. You

1030
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 4: should have drafted him anyway a few years ago, took

1031
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 4: MKG instead when Beale was on the board. But you know,

1032
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 4: they signed Gordon Hayward to a contract offer a few

1033
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: years ago and eventually got and said maybe they can

1034
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 4: get him this time. And so this is the deal.

1035
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 4: I think if you're the Hornets, Terry Rozier who's been

1036
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: out the last couple of games, and Lamala Ball's been starting,

1037
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 4: I think we know LaMelo Ball should be starting on

1038
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 4: that team. So I think Rosier a young player. He's

1039
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 4: been playing well. He had a good season, no doubt

1040
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 4: about it. So I think he's the sort of first

1041
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 4: piece that moves. Then you've got a couple of the

1042
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 4: younger guys. Now for this particular trade deal, I'm going

1043
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 4: with Malik Monk, who came off a career high the

1044
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: other night with the nine threes and then Davonte Graham,

1045
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 4: who's also remember there was All Star buzz about Davonte

1046
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 4: Graham last season. Now he hasn't quite been able to

1047
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 4: sort of stay consistent, but a young player with some

1048
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 4: upside there. And then this is this is the part

1049
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 4: that I think you're really going to have to entice

1050
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 4: the Wizards. Two first round picks. Okay, twenty one, twenty three,

1051
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 4: I've got in there for now. Now you can maybe

1052
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: throw in a PJ. Washington, change one of those players,

1053
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 4: but keep Rosier there because I think Rosier is probably

1054
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 4: the best player out of those three so far that

1055
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: I've mentioned. So basically, you're getting three current players and

1056
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 4: then two first round picks in exchange for Bradley Beal.

1057
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 4: And if you're the Hornets, yeah, if you're the Hornets,

1058
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 4: you're doing it.

1059
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah as always with your tread. If you're getting Bill,

1060
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: you're absolutely doing it. But I mean that's that's five.

1061
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 4: You know, young talented prospects, and you know those two firs.

1062
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: I think you're training to convince yourself with those three guys,

1063
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: you got to going back, well at least two of them.

1064
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: You know Devonte Ground Okay, he's still living off one

1065
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 2: great month in this league. I mean, good for him,

1066
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: he's fine. He's fine. Malik Monk just because he hit

1067
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: you know whatever, how many live he've basically been dead.

1068
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: He hadn't even heard of him. Peole didn't even know

1069
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 2: he's in the league.

1070
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 5: And Terry Yearly, you're gonna be so good at top

1071
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 5: shot because all it matters is who played great last night.

1072
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 2: My man would be balling.

1073
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 5: Off the Malik Monk stock right now. You got to

1074
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 5: put at least three picks in any Bradley being trade.

1075
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: I think at.

1076
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 5: Least the guy's got an extra year on his contract still,

1077
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 5: and if your team is good enough, maybe you get

1078
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 5: a year after that.

1079
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you can stop with those. I think you

1080
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: know those three.

1081
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind. I don't mind. Something around, Okay,

1082
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: Terry Rozier a PJ. Washington, I think would have to

1083
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: be included, because you know, he's an enticing young guy

1084
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: that you can see the Wizards like sort of being

1085
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: interested in. Uh, and then, like Trey said, a million

1086
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: picks and then we're still not probably even done.

1087
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, but.

1088
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Hornets getting baled, that'd be nice.

1089
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 4: One. You could have drafted him, he could have dropped.

1090
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 5: Man, that's that's crazy to think of him. Was a

1091
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 5: hyped prospect too, they were. That was kind of like,

1092
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 5: oh man, it's too bad you didn't get Anthony Davis.

1093
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 5: That's a real franchise changer. But at least you're locked

1094
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 5: into MKG.

1095
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, okay, I love it. I still love these.

00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,000

1100
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 4: it's fine. You don't have to like it, but don't

00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, okay, all right, feel one of the hornets.

1111
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,160

1112
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: more break and then we'll get to tweet the night

00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: and all that. Lelee, what do you got man, Lee?

1114
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 2: I'd love to fire up that wedding da.

1115
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 5: That's a pretty good tagline from Josh Hall in the

1116
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 5: stream team, who says, say I do to Harry's excellent?

1117
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 2: Look at that? Look at that? How long is that

1118
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: good question?

1119
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 4: I'm not sure have you ever watched It's really not

1120
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 4: really it's actually, yeah, it's one of the hardest things

1121
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 4: to watch. It's just one of the worst easier like, well,

1122
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 4: you think it's gonna be great, but we didn't have

1123
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 4: an official like videographer or anything like that. We just

1124
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 4: had people like shooting stuff on their phones. And I

1125
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 4: guess one guy, one of our family friends, did have

1126
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 4: a video camera, but it wasn't like we were like, hey,

1127
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 4: can you shoot for us? He was just shooting and

1128
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 4: then we compiled it later on.

1129
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: So so that's just like basically a bootleg DVD.

1130
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: Well someone edited it and put it together to make

1131
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 4: some sort of sense. But yeah, it's just yeah, they're

1132
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 4: not fun to watch. If you watched anyone else's they're

1133
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:57,919
Speaker 4: really not that fun.

1134
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. We've talked about this before. It's

1135
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: like one of those things that they sort of I

1136
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 2: think Trays talked about it before. Haven't you like getting

1137
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 2: the video like you splurge for the video package because

1138
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: you're like, I guess, I don't know.

1139
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1140
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1141
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 5: We have the big, you know, fancy album that we

1142
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 5: look at once every ten years.

1143
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 2: But I kind of wish I did have the DVD.

1144
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 5: I'm sure I wouldn't watch it, but I would love

1145
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 5: to go back and you know, see what the dance

1146
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 5: moves look like, see how much fun people were having.

1147
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, every twenty years popping in the problem,

1148
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 5: we'll be having a DVD player twenty years later and

1149
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 5: actually being able to play it. But oh man, man,

1150
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,040

00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 2: I remember saying that night, Derek Rose is back. A

1228
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 2: couple of.

1229
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 5: Nights later, Derek Rose suffered another injury against the Portland

1230
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 5: Trailblazers and it was until from then until this year

1231
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 5: until the Bulls finally came back. Lots of things have

1232
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 5: come back so far this year. The Bulls the Knicks,

1233
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 5: the Cavs, the Hornets, big men, rebounding, trading cards, CD

1234
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 5: ROMs for your wedding videos, tucked in T shirts, Breys,

1235
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 5: Puka shell necklaces. I would love to see a supercut

1236
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 5: of things that I've said are back at the end

1237
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 5: of the year, so.

1238
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 2: We can see up there actually still back. But for today,

1239
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 2: sunshine is backed. Not in Atlanta, but somewhere out there.

1240
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: Sunshine is bad. Awesome, awesome, great tweet there, Ryan, great stuff.

1241
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: Let's get to picking results. You said a couple of

1242
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: those teams that were back there, the Knicks and the Bulls.

1243
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 2: This is the Who's most back ball too, right, because

1244
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 2: this is the old baseball series. Bulls took game one,

1245
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: but the Knicks got it done last night. They obviously

1246
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: covered because they won outright. It was the money line hit.

1247
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: I swerved. Je Swerves has done it again, so I

1248
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: get the victory. I'm two and one taking the Knicks.

1249
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 2: Great first quarter from the Knicks, and they held on.

1250
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: I think the Bulls went on like a twenty to

1251
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: five run. It got a little interesting there at the

1252
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: end in the fourth quarter, but another loss for Lee

1253
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 2: and Trey. You guys are over still looking for that

1254
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 2: first w here in February, you're oh for three, Task

1255
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 2: one and two and Task, by the way, is paying

1256
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: off his last month's loss. On Friday Show, we got

1257
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 2: something in store. I don't know. It's not the plan.

1258
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 2: No one tells me anyway. I think that's the point,

1259
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 2: because then you guys were talking about doing something else. Anyway,

1260
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 2: we'll get to it tonight's game though, five games on

1261
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 2: really good schedule. Okay, we got the TNT doubleheader, Warriors Mavericks.

1262
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: We will be jumping on at halftime to do NBA

1263
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 2: Happy Hour maybe watching Lee's wedding DVD and Nuggets Lakers

1264
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 2: is the Lake game. But the game we're picking from

1265
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: Rockets Grizzlies, small line, Memphis favored by one and a

1266
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 2: half at home. Lee will go to you first. Do

1267
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 2: you like the Grizzlies to bounce back after a rough,

1268
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 2: rough loss to I think the Pacers they last played,

1269
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 2: or the Rockets looking to bounce back too. They got

1270
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: hammered by the thunder. Yeah, what do you got?

1271
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 4: No Joan wool last night, and I think he was

1272
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 4: being rested. But then maybe all a depots out to

1273
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 4: not for a really tough one there the Rockets had

1274
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 4: been playing good basketball before that one and a half points.

1275
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: Did you say Memphis has to win by two?

1276
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 4: Give me the Rockets.

1277
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, going with the Rockets, Trey, where are you leaning?

1278
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 5: I'll flip the script on league. Give me the Grizzlies.

1279
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 5: Both teams are on their third game in four nights.

1280
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 5: But it's a back to back for the Rockets. John

1281
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 5: Wall obviously, so maybe he's still rested. But yeah, give

1282
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 5: me the Grizzlies.

1283
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 2: Somebody will be at the bottom of the standings tomorrow. Yeah,

1284
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that. I'm gonna go with Trey.

1285
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna also go with the Grizzlies to win this

1286
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: close line here, I'll take Memphis minus one and a half.

1287
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: Let's find out who Tessy has.

1288
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 5: Crazy that the Rockets had a recent six game win

1289
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 5: streak and the Grizzlies had a recent seven game win streak.

1290
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 2: Isn't it?

1291
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 5: Isn't it?
