00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: I'll do anything for anyone.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be told what to do. Go for me,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: do lots of stuff for you. You don't know what

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm doing.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: No, I don't.

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 3: You do not know what I'm No.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't ever seen a monitor lizard in this house?

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: Aware monitor lizard?

9
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: No, exactly, I'm on top of it. Ever been worried

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: that a volcano is gonna explode in the garden? No,

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: And you don't have to see all this stuff.

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about.

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: So you're keeping on top of the volcanos and lizards. Absolutely,

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: And I'm doing me everything else.

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:54,720

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: NBA weekend winners and losers, a whole lot to discuss.

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: It was a great basketball weekend when you fold in

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: all of what's going on in March Madness and the NBA.

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: But we had two weggies Easter Weekend Weggies, which was

44
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: nice to see on Saturday number fifty four Scottie Pippen

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: Junior in a garbage time situation there against the Magic

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: But we'll take it. And then on Sunday but two

47
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: sticking one up in Toronto. So fifty four and fifty

48
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: five we are on pace for sixty four. The all

49
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: time record for Weggies in the season is fifty eight.

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: We've done that twice. We are going to break that

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 3: this year. And hell, it's in play that we could

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: even break it in the regular season.

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: We got enough games left that it's possible. And they've

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: been flying out, flying out. What does a Weggie fly out? Oh,

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't want you to actually answer that question, ask

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: for that or something now. Yeah, but they're flying out

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: of wherever they fly. Yeah, and I think we're gonna

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: do it before the regular season ends.

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: That would be huge. That would be huge. So up

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: to fifty five. But let's get into weekend winners TK.

61
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: We'll do a few rounds of these, especially without task here.

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: Who do you want to start with? What team? What player?

63
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: What play?

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: The Dallas Mavericks get a winner of the weekend for me.

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: Nice weekend for them. Two and zero started on Friday

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: against the Kings, an instant Classic. They got Luka Dancic

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: on this team, they got Kyrie Irving on this team,

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: and somehow the win came down to Dante exem All

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: on his shoulders. He had two wide open threes down

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the stretch. Brick brick. They kept passing it to him.

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: He catches the ball at the top of the key.

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I just brick two threes. I better go to the hoop,

73
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: misses a layup, but guess what, They're still leaving Dante

74
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: exim over open. So we finally hit one with twenty

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: eight seconds left to put the MAVs up three. A

76
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: huge win for Dallas to knock off the Kings. They

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: won the baseball series there in Sacramento, very good for

78
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: their seeding. Kyrie was special in this one. I thought

79
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: thirty points, fourteen of them came in the fourth. He

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: has changed the Mavericks pace since he came back from

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: his injury, and him and Luca just seemed to be

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: completely aligned right now, very similar to when Kyrie played

83
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: alongside Lebron back in Cleveland. It's like Lebron could sit

84
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: out possessions because you know Kyrie's gonna get a good shot,

85
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: most likely for himself. I think he had two assists

86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: in this game because the Kings were doing a lot

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: of taking the ball out of Luca's hands and he

88
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: was just saying, hey, Kyrie, go do something cool, and

89
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie did a lot of things that were cool. Luca, though,

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: did knock down a free throw to ic the game

91
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: against Sacramento and then he iced Vladi Devats waved to

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: him and said he should have drafted me. Oh good,

93
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: that hurts many Marvin Bagley's on his third team already.

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: It was a bad week for Sacramental, so bad week

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: for Sacramento. Luckily they got to win yesterday. Otherwise they

97
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: might be uh, they might be very sad. But Sunday

98
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: Dallas took care of Houston, finally beat Houston. Somebody was

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: able to finally pull it off, gave him a loss.

100
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: I guess they had a loss to start the month

101
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: March and a loss to end the month of March,

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: and won the eleven games in between. But Luca Doncs

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: went for twenty two points, eight rebounds, and four assists

104
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: in this one in the first quarter. Yep, this was

105
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: incredible from Luca finished with forty seven twelve and seven

106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: and it started pre game for Luca. He banked in

107
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: a shot off the JumboTron against the Rockets. Not against

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the Rockets, but in the arena, it felt like it

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: was against them. I just read Tim Cato did an

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: article from The Athletic where he's talking about Luca loves

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: all these trick shots and he looks for anything to

112
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: bank the ball off. I didn't even know that Jumbo

113
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Troto was an option to make this one, but that

114
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: was very cool. He also went on to bank in

115
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: a three in this game from the left wing where

116
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: he shoots a lot of his shots, and he also

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: hit a twenty foot finger roll after Jabari Smith actually

118
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: took away a three from Lucas. So incredible stuff from

119
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: this guy. He became eligible for all NBA per Bobby Marks.

120
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: He played his sixty fifth game there against Houston, which

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: means he's gonna sign the biggest contract ever. He can't

122
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: do it this summer, but twenty five offseason, and when

123
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: is when he's eligible. Because he will have then played

124
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: seven years in the NBA. Luca will finally be a

125
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: seven year NBA veteran next season, and that's when he

126
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: can will be eligible to sign a five year, three

127
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six million dollars Supermax extension. I bet

128
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: they offer it to him, do you think so. I

129
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: think he takes it as well. Great stuff though, from

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Luca from Kyrie on Friday Night. Seven straight wins for Dallas,

131
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: including that baseball series against Sacramento. There's seventh and net

132
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: rating since the All Star and that includes that stretch

133
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: where they lost five of six games and just looked

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: like they had completely lost what they had gotten after

135
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: they started in the All Star Break. They're up to

136
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: fifth in the West, just a couple of games back

137
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: against the Clippers, and if they'd meet the Clippers again

138
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, just ridiculous.

139
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we could be headed for another Luca

140
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: versus Kawhi Mas versus Clippers four or five matchup is

141
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: in play. Yeah, the way this is going right now

142
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: for them. Like on Friday Show, we did the top

143
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: five hottest teams since the All Star Break. They got

144
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: an honorable mention because of that five game losing streak

145
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: there that start sort of soon after the All Star Break.

146
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: But they are definitely the hot team in the league

147
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: right now. Knocking off the Rockets in that win streak

148
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: now they have the longest and just the way they're

149
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: doing it, Luca unstoppable, Okay, duh. Then you have two

150
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: guys that never miss a shot in Derek Lively the

151
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: second and Gafford. You have these nights where oh, you

152
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: got Kyrie to just take over quarters and halves, which

153
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: he's done multiple times over this stretch. And then you

154
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: have these games where it's either Dante Exem has a

155
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: big game or Derek Jones Junior has a big game,

156
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: or it's PJ Washington, like they sort of are, you know,

157
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: every night, it feels like there's a third or call

158
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: it fourth guy that sort of steps up generally because

159
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: they're left open and defenses are like, well anybody but

160
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: those other two superstars, and more times than not, one

161
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: of those guys is sort of coming through from them. Yeah,

162
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: I'm I hope we get another Clippers now forick series,

163
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: just because hilarity will ensue when Kyrie or when Luca's

164
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: and Kyrie I guess probably put the Clippers out in

165
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: the first round. That's what I would be banking on.

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see. Didn't that Clippers have definitely eliminated

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Dallas as well, so maybe it'll be the rubber match

168
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: between him. But look at Tim Harda junior. The guy

169
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: scored fourteen points on four of fifteen shooting over the weekend.

170
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: If that happened the first half of the season before

171
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: the GAFFERD and PJ. Washington trades, they probably lose both

172
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: of those games. Yeah, maybe not against Houston since they

173
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: really took care of business, but Sacramento certainly if you

174
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: don't have a second scorer out there. But there's a

175
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: much more deep team. They're much more versatile, and they've

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: got a lot more size. Like PJ. Washington's not like

177
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the biggest, toughest guy, but he gives you some physicality.

178
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: GAFFERD and Lively, you've got forty eight minutes of center

179
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: playing the exact same way Derek Jones junior. He's still

180
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: starting for them a lot of these games, but you

181
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need him to finish the games. This is

182
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the best the Mavericks have looked, probably in Luka Dancic's

183
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: tenure with Dallas, and he certainly looks the best he

184
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: ever has. This guy is on another one right now.

185
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: He just throws. He's got like top ten assists in

186
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: every single game. You don't even really notice him, just

187
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: because it's like slipped into the midst of a package.

188
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: Did you have a favorite shot between the quote unquote

189
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: two trick shots, the one off the Jumbo Tron or

190
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: the one where he hits a twenty twenty one foot

191
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: finger roll around Jabari and he's like laughing as he's

192
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: doing it. Do you have a favorite?

193
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: It's gotta be the finger roll. It was in a

194
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: game with defense, I mean, honestly, no pressure in either

195
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: one of them, because the game was over for Dallas

196
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: at this point. The game hadn't started. It is for

197
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: one of them, so no pressure and the game was over.

198
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: Because I think this was I mean it was in

199
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: the third quarter right that he hit the finger roll.

200
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: They were blowing out Houston at that point and the

201
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: shot clock was going down. So it's kind of like,

202
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: get a shot up and anything is good. But to

203
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: make a twenty foot finger roll and make yourself laugh

204
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: when you're Luca and you're impressing yourself, I think that's

205
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: an honor.

206
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be scared if I was the opposition

207
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 3: When he's laughing about a shot. Yeah, it's like not

208
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: gonna be our night. And also the one off the

209
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: jumbo tron. It's tough not to immediately think of. Was

210
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: it the Bird and MJ commercial McDonald's commercial where they're

211
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: playing horse and they're just one one upping each other

212
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: every time literally saying off the JumboTron or off the

213
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: it's incredible and he's just doing it.

214
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: I thought there's a way that you could take like

215
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: just random shot that Luca has made, and you got

216
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: to find somebody else who would be the Jordan corolarry

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: because Lucas going as Larry Bird and you can easily

218
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: like dub in the.

219
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: Footage, man Anton the audience and Luca perfect oh banking

220
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: three from the left wing.

221
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: They both make it. They've both done it this season.

222
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: Watching I write that one down for us. All right,

223
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: let's keep it moving here. I would like to give

224
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: an NBA Weekend winner to two teams, the Nuggets and

225
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: the thunder who bot both clinched playoff spots this weekend.

226
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: Let's start with Denver. On Sunday afternoon, Jokis twenty six points,

227
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: eighteen boards, sixteen assists, his twenty second triple double season.

228
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: Nuggets beat the Brakes off the Calves. They clinched a

229
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: playoff Berth. This is now the sixth straight postseason that

230
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: the Nuggets have made them the excuse me season that

231
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: they've made the postseason six straight. KCP was awesome, I

232
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: thought for the Nuggets in this game on Sunday six

233
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: and nine from deep. No Jamal Murray still though, they're saying,

234
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: they're saying he's progressing a little bit here. But they

235
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: got Reggie Jackson that can sort of slot in there

236
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: and do a decent job for at least a couple

237
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: of games of being a starter at the point guard position.

238
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: So he was good. So Denver has clinched. They were

239
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: in first spot in the Western Conference until a few

240
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: hours later when Shay Gildess Alexander made a tough go

241
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: ahead jumper from the corner with about two seconds to go,

242
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: sending OKC to the playoffs for their first time since

243
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: twenty twenty with the one point victory over the Knicks

244
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: in Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. Awesome game. Yeah,

245
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: so much fun this game between the Knicks and the Thunder.

246
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, OKC has now moved back into sole possession

247
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: of first place in the West. They're fifty two and

248
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: twenty two the Nuggets are fifty two and twenty three,

249
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: so it's very, very close. But both these teams, they

250
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: are now three. Only three teams have clinched a postseason spot,

251
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: the Celtics a while ago over in the Eastern Conference

252
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: and now our first two here in the West. But yeah,

253
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Gidey was awesome with the triple double again in Madison

254
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Square Garden. Three times he's played there, Yeah, three times

255
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: he's at a triple double. He had twelve points in

256
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: the fourth, a lot coming early in that fourth, and

257
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: then Jillen Williams man another like sort of takeover mode.

258
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: A great game overall, but clutch three clutch jumper, just

259
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: clutch played down the stretch and then SGA took him

260
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: home with that tough jumper. Brunson did all he could

261
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: this weekend to get the Knicks victories, but needed a

262
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: little help from some of the other guys. We'll get

263
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 3: to the Knicks in a second, but man, what'd you

264
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: think of Denver or Okay see here clinch.

265
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, see man, they are tough to beat, because

266
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: you're right. Jalen Williams was absolutely cooking in the fourth

267
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: quarter in this when he scored ten and he really

268
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: had it going down to the stretch. You even had

269
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: Shay say in post game, I didn't know if I

270
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: needed to come back in when he was putting the

271
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: team on his back, but he'd made so many big

272
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: shots that you're thinking, is Jalen Williams getting the look

273
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: here to win the game? After Brunson made his layup,

274
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Now you still go to the guy who could possibly

275
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: finish Top three MVP right now or maybe even win

276
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: Clutch Player of the Year because he's made so many

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: jumpers late in this game. Just an easy catch and shoot.

278
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah over Duce McBride heard it on the broadcast. They're like,

279
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: he's too small, Like decent defense by McBrien, he was

280
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: with him, but the fade away Cha's height, his length

281
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: and easy knockdown from him and zero celebration, absolutely nothing.

282
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't even think he smiled. I don't think he uh.

283
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't think his eyebrows grace wow, no drips of

284
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: sweat on his face.

285
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I was gonna say in his defense,

286
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: like who cares really, but there was some time left

287
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: and you know the next time chance. But generally he

288
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 3: does this right. Yeah, on any type of big shot

289
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: just stone cold, even keeled. Yeah, nothing sort of phazes him.

290
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: And this is why people are, oh, they're so so young,

291
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: they're so young, how could they even go far in

292
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs, let alone like fight for a championship this

293
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: early with these guys in their youth. But then you

294
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: see how he carries himself and how they do carry himself,

295
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: and how they play in all these clutch games, you

296
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: start to convince yourself, why not this team, uh, you know,

297
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: winning four out of seven in a lot of series

298
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: here we'll see, But my god, that game was just

299
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: that had to playoff atmosphere, big shots, big shots, some

300
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: crazy play to some wild turnovers. It looked cool with

301
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: you know, the orange and blue of both squads there.

302
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: I just thought that was a fun Sunday night game

303
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: there from okay see in the Knicks. But man, yeah,

304
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: he's he didn't have a good game, that's the crazy part.

305
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: But you've got him as your closer and the other

306
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: guy's carrying you. They're they're dominant here. He didn't have

307
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: a good game.

308
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Chet was pretty bad, I thought, five points on two

309
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: of eight shooting, but he was there for the defense

310
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: on Brunson at the end. May have gotten away with

311
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: some bumpets. Yeah, certainly the Knicks were upset with the

312
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: no call there, to the point that Jalen Brunson like

313
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: followed up like, hey, I'll circle back on this one

314
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: after the game one and complained to it Tom Thibodeaux.

315
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: He wanted to keep his money right, He just said,

316
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: just write what you see. And I did see chet

317
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Holmgren bumping him, but I saw playoff defense right there.

318
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had to hit the Knicks of like they've

319
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: they've multiple times. It feels like this year have been

320
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: like this guy, he's the smallest guy out there, but

321
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: he gets hit and you're not giving him the end

322
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: ones or the you know, the trips to the free

323
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: throw linesmen. Maybe it's warranted. I mean, he's crafty as

324
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 3: hell to brunson is with his footwork and what he

325
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: does inside. But yeah, he was awesome this weekend. It

326
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: was not his fault that the Knicks ultimately came up

327
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: short and there two games, but holy crap, good game,

328
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: really fun game, and we'll give them winner of the

329
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: weekends Denver and OKC four clinching a spot.

330
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: Let's keep it going another round. Who you got Janis

331
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: on Ti Chacumpo gets a Winner of the weekend for me.

332
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Went down to the Fortress Saturday night and this guy

333
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: just dominated the Atlanta Hawks. Thirty six points, six dunks

334
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: for Jannis included also had sixteen rebounds, eight assists, three

335
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: steals in a block I left when he drove to

336
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: the lane and had a sweet dime out to the

337
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: corner to put the Bucks up big time the race

338
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: for a second in the MVP. Man, this is like

339
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: the best race we got going right now. Jokic, I

340
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: do believe is gonna win in pretty handily. But you

341
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: got Gianni's putting up thirty and ten sixty percent shooting

342
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: basically every night. Luca's a thirty point triple double every night,

343
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: and Shae goes with Alexander's just hitting game winners all

344
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: the time. So I don't know who's this actually gonna

345
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: go to right now. I do feel like Luca has

346
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: a little momentum right now. Is the navs are kind

347
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: of peaking as we go into the playoffs. But great

348
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: stuff from Janni's a very weird game. I thought, no

349
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard for the Bucks, so they didn't have a

350
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: ton of like playmaking from the perimeter. They also always

351
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: played two bigs. The Hawks always play one big, so

352
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: it felt like the nineties. They were posting up every

353
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: single time down the court. But as the Bucks first

354
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: win without Damian Lillard, they were zero to five going

355
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: into this game. I think twenty one points from Chris Middleton,

356
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: he went nine to ten from the field. And Patrick Beverley,

357
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: the guy's got a torn ligament in his right wrist,

358
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: his shooting wrist. Eighteen points, five rebounds, five assists. That's

359
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: the most he scored as a Buck.

360
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: A week ago, there were rumors that he was going

361
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: to miss the rest of the season.

362
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: What's going on?

363
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: And then he broke the news, so you know with

364
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: his Twitter account that that wasn't the case and that

365
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: he would be back. And now he's like having his

366
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: best game offensively of the year with a banged up risk. Yeah, yeah,

367
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: make it makes sense.

368
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: That was very weird.

369
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 3: When did you leave the game?

370
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: Then there's probably like a minute and a half long.

371
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, I thought you were talking me.

372
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: It was late because it got interesting, Like it was

373
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: twenty one point lead, I believe, early in the third

374
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: quarter for Milwaukee, and I'm texting Laura Mike might be

375
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: an early night. And then the Hawks came storm and back.

376
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: They caught it down to five. Then I think it

377
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: was Middleton hit a three, Lopez hit a three, and

378
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: that was kind of like put the Bucks back over

379
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the edge. The Hawks came out and like they're pretty

380
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: smart about things. They're like, we're gonna have the Bucks

381
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: getting a whole bunch of twos here with their big guys,

382
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: We're spamming the threes. But they just weren't able to

383
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: hit quite enough of them. Murray had a okay game,

384
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: like he didn't have a forty four points on forty

385
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: four shots. Kind of I didn't have quite the same edge.

386
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: I think it might have been the fourth game in

387
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: six nights for Atlanta, so they looked a little tired,

388
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: I thought. And the Bucks they just went out in

389
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: big boyd them. They said, we're getting inside, We're shooting

390
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: as many laps as possible, and it worked.

391
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: I believe Tim Bontemp's final MVP straw Pole, comes out

392
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: this Wednesday, so we'll see how the voting, at least

393
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: in terms of his texts and phone calls to everybody

394
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: that sort of has votes or a majority of them

395
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: that do. We'll see how that shakes. I'm with you.

396
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: I think Yo Kitch is ultimately gonna still win this thing.

397
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: But who knows? Who knows where a lot of those

398
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: second place votes go to when people are filling out

399
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: their bellot Luca the honest obviously SGA, maybe some tatum.

400
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: We'll see. Moving on, let's give Victor webin Yama a

401
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend. Now the walllet's a little lighter,

402
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: all right, twenty five thousand dollars. He got dinged by

403
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: the league for throwing the ball in the stands. You

404
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: can't throw the ball in the stands if you're upset, duh.

405
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: But even if you're happy, like he said, it was

406
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: a happy throw of a ball into the stands in

407
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 3: San Antonio on Friday night. And still Joe Dumar is

408
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: not having it. No, no, no, that's gonna cost you.

409
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: But he was awesome. Another un goodly stat line forty points,

410
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: twenty boards, seven assists in the Spurs one thirty one

411
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: to twenty six overtime win over the Knicks in a

412
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 3: game where Jalen Brunson went for sixty one on a

413
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: whole bunch of shots, but Wenby thirteen to twenty two

414
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: from the field, four to nine, from deep ten to

415
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 3: twelve at the line. That's really great. First rookie since

416
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: Shack in nineteen ninety three to rack up forty points

417
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: and twenty boards in a single game. You know, we

418
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: share a whole lot of stats on this show. We

419
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: do show every day. I feel like we have a

420
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 3: stat or two day where it's like first person to

421
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: do this, and so and so. We do a lot

422
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: of it. But that's something first rookie, said Shack forty

423
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: and twenty in a game, in a win, in overtime,

424
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: in a really entertaining game. He was awesome. In OT two,

425
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 3: he scored five points, two boards, had to steal hit

426
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: a big three with like a I don't know, seventy

427
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 3: seconds to go to put al to put San Antonio

428
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: excuse me up by four. So he closed the deal.

429
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: And then they just give this guy the mic after

430
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: games like it's incredible, like they figured it out. They're like,

431
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: just just get him out here on the court, give

432
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: him the mic, and this guy will never disappoint, he says,

433
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: quote seventy games through the season, I still see this

434
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: place packed every night. Love you guys love the support

435
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: gost Spurs go. I mean, what can he do?

436
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: Straight up? Turn up one of you guys awesome.

437
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: Time time and so they win that game, they lose

438
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 3: another one on the weekend. He had another monster game,

439
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 3: huge you know box score from Wemby. But they're just

440
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: like after they began this season, when they were on

441
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: pace to be one of the worst time worst teams

442
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: of all time, which I had forgotten about because we

443
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: had a lot of teams that were sort of in

444
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: the running for that. You know, they had they lost

445
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: eighteen straight games. The Spurs did right. Actually, yeah, they've

446
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: turned things around here recently. I think they've won seven

447
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: of their like last sixteen, So you know that's you know,

448
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: sub five hundred still but a lot better. And you know,

449
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: this guy's just special. It's it's just it's you know,

450
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: I heard Bill and and Rosillo talking about it, and

451
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: it's true, and you're like, these might be the worst

452
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: stats he has in his career, like this, like the

453
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: line he's gonna finish with this year, which is amazing,

454
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: you know, twenty and ten and some assists and leading

455
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: the leading in blocks. This could be the worst when

456
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: you eventually look at the basketball Reference page. You know,

457
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 3: fifteen years from now.

458
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think doesn't seem like a guy who's

459
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: going to rest on his laurels. I don't think this

460
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: is a Michael Carter Williams situation. I don't think speaking

461
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: as a rookie, like you see it every time he

462
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: puts up uh. I mean, he's done it once, but

463
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: every time he puts up these massive stats forty and twenty,

464
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of roast beef. People are saying this

465
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: is the worst he'll ever be. He's going to get

466
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: better because like he's gotten better throughout this season. People

467
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: want to give him m IP votes. Okay, you're struggling

468
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: to begin to hear.

469
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: But now he's like a knockdown three point shooter. Man's

470
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: honestly ridiculous. I wonder what he's gonna look like in

471
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 4: five years, like physically look like will he get gigantic

472
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: and muscly I don't know, probably not, will he be

473
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Giannis got huge and muscle, so maybe he will.

474
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 4: But he does seem to have a durant sort of build,

475
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 4: and man, that chucking the ball into the stands hilarious.

476
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 4: How much of the fine was because it was Jalen

477
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 4: Brunson's career high and he should have that ball. Want

478
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 4: that ball, winner, may and Karen came in a lot.

479
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: He doesn't want it. And Dante Devincenzo set like the

480
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: Knicks franchise record for made threes too. Maybe he really wanted.

481
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: The ball, honest, would have got that ball.

482
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, that's my point. But yeah, Wemby

483
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend despite getting being twenty five thousand

484
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: dollars worth it for chucking the ball. By the way,

485
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 3: they went and got the ball like, it's not only

486
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 3: the I took it home or whoever caught it like

487
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: a ball boy went up and got it for them.

488
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 3: So okay, what's the issue. Then someone got to catch

489
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 3: a ball. That's cool.

490
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: That is cool.

491
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, back, yeah, exactly, they got the ball. Ridiculous.

492
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: I don't like that fine, and I also don't like

493
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Kelly, you bray. He deserved his fine, he

494
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: said a lot of things. Yeah, oh yes, but I

495
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know that Nick Nurse should have gotten fined.

496
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: He was upset too, but he kept his cool more

497
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: so than Kelly and Ray Dead and he was right

498
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: about the foul calls. They should not be allowed to

499
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: find you if the referees admit they botched him.

500
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fair, it's fair.

501
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I got drama with you, Joe, Joe dumars Man. I

502
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: call it Joe making money for this second all right,

503
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: one more round of winners. Who you got Golden State Warriors.

504
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: Kind of an easy weekend for them. They took care

505
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: of business though, beat the Hornets on Friday and the

506
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: Spurs on Sunday. Like you just mentioned, Golden State twenty

507
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: one and five against teams under five hundred, which is

508
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: completely the reason they're in the mix for a play

509
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: in spot. Because they're nineteen and twenty nine against teams

510
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: that are over five hundred. Maybe gives you a little

511
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: bit of a trepid going to the playoffs where the

512
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: entire Western Conference brocket, we'll be over five hundred that

513
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: they and said four straight wins for Golden State you

514
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: include Houston going one and one over the weekend. Now

515
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Golden State has a two game lead for tenth in

516
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. And I actually got to get Draymond

517
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Green a lot of credit for his weekend. Number one,

518
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: he got pressured by Grant Williams, and he didn't kick

519
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: him in the balls.

520
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: He thought about it, he wanted to, he almost did,

521
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: He almost did, but he did it, which is why

522
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 3: he was available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

523
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Went for twenty one points, six rebounds, eleven assists, six

524
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: steals on a block. He scored eleven points in the

525
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: third quarter. He was going at Wemby, shooting layups over

526
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: Wemby looking to score. Steve Kerk called it a masterpiece

527
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: defensively and obviously was. He had a big time offensive offensive,

528
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: a big time offensive rebound with forty seconds left, kicks

529
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: it out to Klay Thompson for a three. That was

530
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: really the dagger. Tim Kawakami wrote it up on The Athletic.

531
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: You can subscribe at the Athletic dot com slash no dunks.

532
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: This is why the Warriors put up with Draymond, yep,

533
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: because he can win you games just like this, just

534
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: like he can lose you games when he gets kicked

535
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: out of something really really early. But a good weekend

536
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: for him and a sweet weekend for the Warriors.

537
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: He had a game winning box out Draymond when he

538
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 3: got called for the over and back He wasn't happy

539
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: about that, but yeah, you're right, this is it's the

540
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: good Draymond, the bad Draymond. We see it, you know

541
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: it will it will rear its head in one week.

542
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: In the span of one week, he'll get both.

543
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: But he was awesome.

544
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: That was probably his best game he had played all

545
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: season long. And yeah, they're rolling and there you know,

546
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: now they you know, with the Rockets loss, this Warriors

547
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: winn or this little wind streak a little bit more separation,

548
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: they have the tiebreaker, so there's that as well. It's

549
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: it's looking very very likely that they're gonna sort of

550
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: stiff arm the Rockets here, who were making that late

551
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: push and probably be in the play in here. They're

552
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: gonna have to win some games so still get into

553
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs. It's looking likely, but better to give yourself

554
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 3: a chance and not even get in the thing. Yep.

555
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: And they do play Thursday in Houston.

556
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: So that's a huge, huge one for a huge, one

557
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 3: huge one Houston. All right, my final NBA weekend winner,

558
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: Let's give it to a specific guy. This lebron fan

559
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 3: in the goat costume in Brooklyn, JD show it for everyone.

560
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: This guy shows up on Sunday in full on Goat

561
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: costume with the Lebron jersey and look, I think it

562
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: inspired Lebron. This guy sitting courtside. Lebron tied a career

563
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: high by making nine to three pointers in the win

564
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: over the Nets. He only needed ten attempts. He shot

565
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: nine to ten from deep. Lebron brought his three point

566
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: percentage to a career high forty one point six percent

567
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 3: on the season. You're twenty one. Here he's doing things

568
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: he's never done before, and that's shooting it at a

569
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: career clip from deep. I had forgotten. Last season Lebron

570
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: shot like thirty two percent from deep, and he blamed

571
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: a lot of it on tearing attendant in his right foot.

572
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: He said that sort of prevented him from working on

573
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: his shooting rhythm or feeling comfortable out there. But what

574
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: a bounce back from from distance this year. Like his

575
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 3: podcast partner, Lebron is now tied JJ Reddick for career

576
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: high three pointers made in the game. Reddicks was nine.

577
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: I looked it up. Lebron's done it now twice. This

578
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: was him tying it with nine. JJ also scored forty

579
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 3: points in the game where he had nine three pointers made.

580
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: This was like a twenty sixteen game when he was

581
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: with the Clippers. It was an overtime game against the Rockets.

582
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, this was Lebron's best game ever. When you're

583
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: looking at effective field coal percentage, which is so weird

584
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 3: from three.

585
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: We'll do it for you.

586
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: Still doing this, yeah, no matter who.

587
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: He was going to be cooking because you if you

588
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: watched episode one of Mind the Game, he said, if

589
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: I make the first one, I feel like I'm hot,

590
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: And you'll know I'm hot because I'm shooting threes off

591
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: my right handed dribble. I never do that. He was

592
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: doing it.

593
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: You gotta start doing your game tape. Now has to

594
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: be the Mind the Game podcast.

595
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: You can't watch Lebron play without listening to his podcast.

596
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: He's dropping secrets and hints and ways to potentially slow

597
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: him down.

598
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate man.

599
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, really it is.

600
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Check my trailer.

601
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 3: It's me playing. It's incredible. He kept single handedly holding

602
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: off the nets in this game. Who tried to get

603
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: back into it, but every time they made a run,

604
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: he had an answer with like a big three either

605
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: in the third or fourth quarter. That one that hats one.

606
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: I think the one that got his goat man there

607
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: on his phone there looking like Paul Pierce. He hit

608
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: that one like just falling out of bounds in the corner.

609
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: It was like an ultimate heat check. Splashed it and

610
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: eventually got to nine. But it's wild that this guy

611
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: is doing this in You're twenty one and then after

612
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: the game, he acknowledged that the end of his career,

613
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: it's it's possibly near quote, I'm not going to play

614
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: another twenty one years. That's for damn sure. Okay, thanks Lebron,

615
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 3: not very long. I don't know when the door will close.

616
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: As far as one, I'll retire, but I don't have

617
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: much time left. What does much time mean? The two

618
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: guy that's played twenty one years?

619
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: Good question. He almost retired after last year's playoffs, that's right.

620
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: So thinking about.

621
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 3: It, Hey, everybody, he expects Lebron when he's finally done,

622
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: will do the swan song. He will announce that this

623
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: is my final year and we can get you know,

624
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: all all the you know whatever they whatever gifts other

625
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 3: teams give to him and fans to see him one

626
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: more time. We assume that, because that just makes a

627
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: lot of sense with Lebron, that we know what did

628
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: the ultimate swerve be for him to do the opposite

629
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: and just not saying it's this year, but to not

630
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: tell us. Is there any way he could do that?

631
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: No?

632
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I just want to make sure it would

633
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: be the ultimate swerve. No, I don't expect it ultimate swerve.

634
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: What if he retires today April Fool's Day, then comes back,

635
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: that would have been good.

636
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: He should have done that, he should have last. Sorry.

637
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna retire till he has a ten three

638
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: point game.

639
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to high note and I want to

640
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: include this note here. This is for Tass and Tass only.

641
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's watching on the boat. I

642
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: don't know what the WiFi is like on this cruise.

643
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: But Lakers guard Gabe Vincent is back in the lineup

644
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: for the Lakers. He missed the past three months due

645
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 3: to a knee injury. He didn't do a whole lot,

646
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: he didn't play a whole lot, but in fourteen minutes,

647
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: two points and assist a board, a steal, a couple

648
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: of fouls. I bring that up because tests four weeks

649
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: kept bringing up just wait till Gabe Vincent's back. He's

650
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: gonna help. He's gonna help, So let's see if they

651
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: can get him into some form here. Obviously was a

652
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: big signing. They had high hopes for him to sort

653
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: of be able to give them a little defensive intensity

654
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: to hit threes. We saw what he did with the

655
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: heat in last year's run. So he is officially back.

656
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I saw Lakers fans were calling him Lisan

657
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: l Gabe the savior. I don't know about that, but

658
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: it's better to have health going into the playoffs, and

659
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: they may need secondary ball handler and another option at

660
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: point guard besides the Angelo Russells. So welcome back Gabe Vincent.

661
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: So there it is a couple winners of the weekend.

662
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: The MAVs, the Nuggets, the Thunder Jannis Wemby.

663
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: Timberwolves didn't clunch, didn't clench.

664
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: No, they did not. They did not because your Chicago Bulls.

665
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: I can't believe he didn't pick the Bulls. I guess

666
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: they had a bad Friday night lost.

667
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: Hey.

668
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they gave up eighteen threes in the second half

669
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: against the Nets. Classic the Nets beat the Timberwolves.

670
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: Classic news, Yes, they did prevent Minnesota from clinching the spot.

671
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: So and look they play the Hawks tonight. Oh yeah,

672
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: in a potential nine to ten match up here a

673
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: little preview. That's what we can expect a little bit

674
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: later in April. So that's one of the best games

675
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: on tonight.

676
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it not? Some good?

677
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: I think Suns Pelicans is the only other one of interest.

678
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: Good night to watch the NCAA Women's Tournament.

679
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think great. We're gonna take

680
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: a quick break and when we come back, we'll do

681
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: a few NBA weekend losers. Don't go anywhere, all right,

682
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: it's return of the Mac and its return of no dunks.

683
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: Here in the Classic Factory. We've done NBA weekend winners.

684
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: Let's do some losers. Who's at the top of your list?

685
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Malik Monk is at the top of my weekend

686
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: losers because I think the Kings got probably the worst

687
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: news of the weekend. I guess the Knicks are in

688
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: the mix as well. Malik Monk, though, has a sprained

689
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: right MCL He's gonna miss four to six weeks, which

690
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: pretty much ends his season depending on how things go

691
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: for Sacramento. It happened on Friday in that game against

692
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: the MAVs. Lucas driving to the hoop, Monk goes to

693
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: challenge him at the rim, there's some contact in the air,

694
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: he has an awkward landing, and then Luca falls on him.

695
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: On top of everything, this came just after the Kings

696
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: found out that Kevin Herder is going to be done

697
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: for the season. So it's Davion Mitchell time, I suppose,

698
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: but really really bad timing for Sacramento. Luckily, they got

699
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: the win against the Jazz on Sunday, but they lost

700
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: those two against the Mavericks, which were gonna be huge

701
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: for the seeding as they're kind of in the same

702
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: zone right now. They're tied with Phoenix in eighth in

703
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: the Western Conference and they're only a game and a

704
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: half up on Los Angeles Lakers, who are ninth right now.

705
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: The remaining schedule for Sacramento it's kind of tough as well.

706
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: They got the Clippers coming up this week. Then they

707
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: go on a four game road trip where they play

708
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: the Knicks, Celtics, Nets and thunder Nets really aren't playing

709
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: it for anything, but those other three teams they are.

710
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: And then they come back home. They got the Pelicans

711
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: and an easy one against the Blazers. Which might be

712
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: nice the last week of the season. But losing Monk,

713
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: You've talked about it so many times, Skeets. The guy's

714
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: probably gonna win six Man of the Year. You know,

715
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: if he misses the final eight games, that's not that

716
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: big of a deal. But he is such an important

717
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: playmaker for them, like Sabonas carries them playmaking wise through

718
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: the first forty three minutes of the game and then

719
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: it's either Fox or Monk doing something off the dribble,

720
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: and Monk being able to do something on the bent

721
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: second side of the floor is such a big thing

722
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: for Sacramento. So to lose him now during the playoff

723
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: push into the postseason, it's like the inverse of what

724
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: happened for Sacramento last year. Think about how many times

725
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: we talked about how great their health was the entire

726
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: year as they lit the beam and made it back

727
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. This year, they're losing two guys who

728
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: are top six in their rotation going into the playoffs.

729
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Just sucks for them.

730
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 3: Noted Kings fan ghost face Tom Zilla wrote in his

731
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: newsletter this morning, quote, at this point, I'll be satisfied

732
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: if the Kings can end the Lakers or Warriors season

733
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 3: and not get swept in the first round. That's probably

734
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: where expectations have sadly gone with Sacramento here as they slip, like,

735
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: you're right, they're in the seven eight play in right now,

736
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: very possible there in the nine to ten, and then

737
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: you got to win two to even get in the postseason,

738
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: and then you're taking on a juggernaut in one of

739
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: those top teams at the West. So it's like without Monk,

740
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: without Hurt or yeah, I mean, I just don't even

741
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: think I'd be betting on them to get even in

742
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: to the actual playoffs and have one of the seventh

743
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: or eight seeds. So look, they're a weird team. You know,

744
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: you said the schedule, and you said some great teams.

745
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 3: They play good against good teams, that's true, And then

746
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: then you were throwing in like, well, maybe they got

747
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 3: to win against the Nets and maybe I went against players. No,

748
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: that's nothing's guaranteed.

749
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: With the Kings.

750
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: They played to their competition, so you know, you know, look,

751
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: can they rally around each other here with missing some

752
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: of these guys and pull this off? Possibly, But that

753
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 3: sucks and I hope my league Monk. I think he's

754
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: still deserving of a sixth Man of the Year. I

755
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: you know, this doesn't help his case if there were

756
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 3: people that have actual votes torn between him and and

757
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: be it a nas Read or you know, a Powell

758
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 3: or a couple other names. Obviously that I'm sort of

759
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,239
Speaker 3: doying a blank on right now. But if you were

760
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: torn between a couple of these guys, then an injury

761
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: to a guy that you're just not thinking or seeing

762
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 3: over the last ten games or so, it's gonna hurt

763
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: your case. But I hope he did enough, and I

764
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: think he did enough to warrant still winning it. But

765
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: we'll see. Sucks for Sacramento because you're right, last year,

766
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: perfect bill of health. This year it bit them at

767
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: the wrong time.

768
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeap.

769
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: Moving on NBA weekend, loser to the New York Knicks.

770
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 3: We sort of have to two backbreaking losses for New

771
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 3: York this weekend. We've already talked about them a little bit.

772
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 3: Brunson sixty one points there on Friday, not enough to

773
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 3: overcome the Spurs in overtime. I mean, he nearly beat

774
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: Carmelo Anthony's Knicks record for points in a game sixty one.

775
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: He was amazing. And then on Sunday they definitely didn't

776
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: help themselves down the stretch. I mean some bad turnovers.

777
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: They missed five free throws the Knicks did against Okase

778
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 3: in the closing minutes, you know, not that okay, see

779
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: it was money from the line either and they had

780
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: some bad turnos. It got a little sloppy. But they

781
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: fall in both of those games that they could have won,

782
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: maybe even should have won. And this weekend kept the

783
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 3: Knicks a half game back of the Cavaliers for third

784
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: in the East and one game ahead of Orlando in fourth.

785
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, following Sunday's game, we

786
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 3: get Josh Hart delivering I guess another blow here, indicating

787
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: it's more likely than not that Ojiannaonobi and Julius Randall

788
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: won't return this season. Now, he did say, like, I'm

789
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: not in these medical conversations, right yeah, But he and

790
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: I believe the team is approaching it with the mindset

791
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: of like this is who we are. It'll be a blessing.

792
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: Will be pleasantly surprised if we get one or both

793
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 3: of those guys back, But this is the team we're

794
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 3: gonna have, and that obviously sucks. Your defense takes a

795
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: hit without those guys, obviously Randall and his ability and

796
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: pressure he puts on a rim. If you don't get

797
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: that back, this could be the squad. And it's like,

798
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: it's literally Brunson carry us, carry us, yeah, and then

799
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: hope that it's a Dante game where he's hitting a

800
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: bunch of threes or you know, a McBride game, stuff

801
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: like that. It's just like, do they have enough juice

802
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: to even win a potential first round series as currently

803
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: constructed without og and Julius Randall. Depends on who they

804
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: play a little bit, but it's much much more difficult.

805
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And I mean they're not really getting much

806
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: from anybody else that's not Brunson. You gotta have a

807
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: big time shooting night from Dante DiVincenzo. I think they

808
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: got nineteen points off the bench against San Antonio and

809
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: eighteen points off the bench against OK See. Every time

810
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: Brunson sits like the Knicks can't do anything offensively, there's

811
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: nobody else who really creates an advantage for them, Like

812
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Dante DiVincenzo isn't putting the ball on the floor and

813
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: cooking up a three pointer, right he's a catch and

814
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: shoot kind of player. He's really good at that, but

815
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: he needs somebody to create the looks for him. That

816
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: could be Randall, but that guy hasn't played in months

817
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, we just saw og Nanobi with

818
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: a gigantic lump on his elbow, and now we got

819
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: Josh Hart, not a doctor, but he's saying it would

820
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: be cool if they're back, and not expecting it. I

821
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: don't know. It kind of felt feels like the Knicks

822
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: have sped run the Tibbs Bulls era this season, like

823
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: they had the best thing going. They had a Chicago

824
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: point guard as an MVP candidate, and now they've got

825
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: so many injuries and they just got to hope that

826
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: their MVP can do anything for him. Because the concern

827
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: with the Bulls back in the day was always we

828
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: don't have a playoff gear because we play so hard

829
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Furthermore, you don't get the bump

830
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: of just playing your guys extra minutes in the playoffs

831
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: because those guys play playoff rotations during the regular season.

832
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the times, Like you look at

833
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: a team like the Bucks and you're like, they'll get

834
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: better in the regular season because Gian also play thirty

835
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: eight minutes instead of thirty two minutes. Everybody plays forty

836
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: plus minutes. Yeah, for the Knicks. So I'm a little

837
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: bit of work, a little bit worried about them, and

838
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: I think it kind of is indicative. You look at

839
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: Brunson's game against San Antonio, sixty one points, an awesome game.

840
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: He went three for thirteen in the last five minutes

841
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: and overtime again in San Antonio because the load on

842
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: his shoulders is massive right now and he's able to

843
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: shoulder it quite some time. But come playoff time, depending

844
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: on the matchup, it can get even tougher for them.

845
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: So I'm a little nervous for the Knicks in.

846
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: A hypothetical four or five matchup. Let's say Nick stay

847
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 3: in four magic or five with no Og and no

848
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: Julius Randall. Where would you be leaning in terms of

849
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 3: a prediction for that series? You still go to New York?

850
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: Is this Orlando, you know, is shocking them, surprising them?

851
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: Where where would you lean?

852
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: I would lean towards New York. I still think I

853
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: will I mean Orlando's first appearance in the playoffs, and

854
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: they're going to run into the exact same issues as

855
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: the Knicks not being able to score, and the defense

856
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: is actually gonna be solid. But against most other teams,

857
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like against Cleveland, even though the Knicks

858
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: took it to him last year. If Mitchell Robinson isn't healthy,

859
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: like that guy just came back in the spring to

860
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: think again. Yeah, so, I don't know. It's gonna be

861
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: matchup dependent. They should be looking for the magic in

862
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: the first rome. That would be ideal for New York.

863
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: All right, let's do another round. Who else you got

864
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: for a loser?

865
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: I gotta give one to the Portland Trail Blazers. They

866
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: lost by sixty that Friday. I mean, it's like you

867
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to give them a loser of the weekend.

868
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: But sixty points man biggest win ever for Miami and

869
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: this one that's the second time this season that the

870
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: Blazers have lost by sixty points. That's the first time

871
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: a team has had multiple sixty point losses in a season,

872
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: which is a bad record. Also a bad record, Scoot

873
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: Henderson an all time record minus fifty eight in this

874
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: one is that's wild. That's a big number.

875
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: Minus fifty eight plus minus in the game all time

876
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 3: record if you had twenty points hit twenty points, six assists.

877
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: He did have seven turnovers. He started. They didn't start

878
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: five rookies. They started four rookies and DeAndre eighton.

879
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 4: No.

880
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, not the greatest season for Scoot. Thirteen points

881
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: per game, three rebounds, five assists, shooting thirty eight percent

882
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: from the field thirty from three to eighty two at

883
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: the line. But if you want a silver lining, he's

884
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: averaging more points, rebounds, and assist than Deer and Fox

885
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: and Darius Garland did in their rookie scenes. Wowow, those

886
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: guys both became All stars, That's true. A lot of

887
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: war to become All stars though, for both of them.

888
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: So they're still a future for Scoot Anders and I

889
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: ain't chucking them in the trash right now, even though

890
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: he did big time me once upon a time. Nine

891
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: straight losses though for the Portland Trail Blazers, and now

892
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, are the Blazers gonna be the worst team

893
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference? San Antonio was trending upwards. Yeah,

894
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: I think they have one fewer win than Portland does

895
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: right now, so they definitely could catch them.

896
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 3: They definitely could Portland's nineteen and fifty five, Spurs are

897
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: eighteen and fifty seven, and then you know the Hornets

898
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 3: if they're eighteen and fifty six, and then you got

899
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 3: the Wizards and Pistons, which around a whole other level. Yeah,

900
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 3: I would say yes, I mean, will the Blazers win

901
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 3: a game from here on out? They don't really want

902
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 3: to either. When you look at who they're starting, I mean,

903
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: and who they're giving oppor two too, and how they're

904
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: losing these games, it's not looking great. They've lost nine

905
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 3: in a row. As have lost nine in a row.

906
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: That sort of surprised me. My Raps have lost thirteen

907
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: in a row. They may not win a game from

908
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: here on out. The lineups they throw out.

909
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: There, Portland does have they got. They play the Hornets

910
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: and the Wizards the third and the fifth, so oh wow,

911
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: those are their chances to break the losing streak. Otherwise

912
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: will be one, two, three, four, five, six, seventeen games

913
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: to end the season if they don't win out from here.

914
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: Okay, well let's get one. Let's pivot to those Wizards,

915
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: My Washington Lizards. No, W's just El's that's why they're

916
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: the Lizards. Look let me peel back to curtain. Friday

917
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 3: nights in the Skis household, that's the one night of

918
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 3: the week where I usually chill out when it comes

919
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: to watching NBA games. We watch a lot during the week.

920
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 3: We don't have the show the next day, actually watch

921
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: something with my wife, go out of the house and

922
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 3: do something. So Friday night plans were simple. We were

923
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: staying in. We were going to finish our leftovers rewatch,

924
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 3: which we did. But here I am on my damn

925
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 3: phone watching the Pistons versus Wizards game. The stakes in

926
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 3: the Nut dust Bowl Challenge. My Wizards were down huge

927
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: to test his Pistons. It was looking like it was

928
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 3: a rap. But then here comes watching it. Oh, I'm

929
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: getting pumped. They have fact took the lead in the

930
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough. Listen to the AP headline.

931
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 3: Here Piston snap eight game skid beating the Wizards ninety

932
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 3: six eighty seven in a matchup of the NBA's bottom

933
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 3: two teams. I thought they were gonna slip in a

934
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: nut dust Bowl reference in headline, Uh this these two teams,

935
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: so this is a huge win, is my point for

936
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 3: Tass and the Pistons he's still alive. We may tie

937
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 3: and both have to chug a bunch of nut dust

938
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,399
Speaker 3: here on the show. But the two teams completed their

939
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: split of a four game season series. Naturally, the road

940
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 3: team won every game. Uh, Kuzma, he let me down

941
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: in this one. He scored twelve points rough shooting night

942
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 3: He had six of their nineteen turnovers. Both teams you

943
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: shot on Okay, the Leftovers, JD. Did you ever watch it?

944
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: I have not?

945
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, okay, yeah, nothing to add.

946
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: I watched the first season.

947
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a it's an incredible show, but it's it's

948
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: about grief. It's like a depressing show at times, it's

949
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: beautifully depressing. This game was worse. She's like, are you crying?

950
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's you know, I'm not. It's not from

951
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: the leftovers from this game and my team losing. Uh.

952
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: They shot under thirty percent from three on the night

953
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 3: ball team's fourth quarter sixteen to twelve. Detroit won the quarter,

954
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: outscoring Washington sixteen to twelve. So Hornet's eighteen and fifty

955
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: six trays. He's good. He's been good for a couple

956
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: of weeks here. You're not going to have the worst

957
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 3: record Wizards fourteen and sixty one, and the Pistons are

958
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: thirteen and sixty one. Detroit hosts Memphis tonight, and I

959
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 3: no task be watching that one on the cruise. Ho

960
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 3: wife will be getting upset at him. It's winnable, it's winnable.

961
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 3: So we could be tied here after tonight at fourteen

962
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: and sixty one, with not a lot of basketball left, I.

963
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: Started saving my dust. The nuts have been coming in,

964
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: and every time I finish a bag, I'm like, Laurie,

965
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: we can't toss this one. I might need it. So

966
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: now I've got a crunchy chili onion peanut dust. I've

967
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: got a hot honey cash you dust, Oh my god,

968
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: and a dill pickle, cash you dust?

969
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 3: What are we just gonna mix these all together? Chuck

970
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 3: them all together? And the loser's gotta take a Oh man, man,

971
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 3: what do they have to do?

972
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: You have to well, we can assume them somehow.

973
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a shot. A shot of it is pretty funny.

974
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 3: It's like the Cinnamon Challenge, but maybe worse. We don't know. Yeah,

975
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 3: it's gonna be weird. That's gonna be good. No, I

976
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 3: don't think so. I don't think so at all, okay,

977
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 3: all right, well, it's either going to be me doing it,

978
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: task doing it, or both of us doing it, because

979
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 3: that's what we decided if we have the exact same record.

980
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: So I think people are probably hoping for a tie

981
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: between the Wizards and Pistons at this point.

982
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: Would be very funny. I think the NBA should do

983
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: something similar to this because they've spiced up, you know,

984
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: the end of the season with the play in tournament.

985
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: The only thing right now is we need to find

986
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: something for these like the bottom five teams in both

987
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: conferences to be playing for it. Maybe it is the

988
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: nut Dust Bowl. So at the beginning of next season,

989
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: I think Adam Silver and Mark Tatum should pick the

990
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: team they think or who they don't think, will have

991
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: the fewest wins, and if they win, the other guy

992
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: has to take a shot of nut dust. Interesting see

993
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: Mark Tatum taking down a shot of chili onion Crew

994
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: could even be like the star player or even the

995
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: GM or coach of that particular team at the start

996
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: of every year. It has to do a punishment at

997
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: the end of the year, and like there's steaks on

998
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: the line, not just finishing, especially now that the now

999
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: that the draft lottery is just you know, it doesn't

1000
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: really matter if you're one, two, three, You're not really

1001
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: trying to be the worst worse because your odds are

1002
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna be the same one through four. But I like

1003
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: something that like when you're like you like whatever it is, like, yeah,

1004
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: Billups would have to do this, or you know, obviously

1005
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: money Williams, Oh my god, he gets a huge payday

1006
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna choke on a bunch of nut dust.

1007
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: Tough. I can't even remember who the Wizards coaches. Is

1008
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 3: a Keith?

1009
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: No, that's from Righteous Gemstones. It is Brian Keith.

1010
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, all right, So losers to me, uh and

1011
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: the Lizards to me, the Washington Lizards. O. Yeah, we

1012
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: gotta take one more break. It's a quickie and when

1013
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: we come back. Tweet of the night. All right, let's

1014
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 3: wrap up today's NBA Weekend Winners and Losers pie with

1015
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: a little tweet of the night. Fun tweet O the night?

1016
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 3: Woww Yeah. Sort of struggling with tweeted the night. So

1017
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 3: I found a basketball one and it's something we haven't

1018
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: talked about yet and sort of been making the rounds

1019
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: over the last forty eight hours or so, and it's

1020
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 3: got to do with Paul George. At the Dunk Central tweeted,

1021
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: should Paul George depart from the Clippers, the Philadelphia seventy

1022
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: six Ers are poised as the top contenders to sign them.

1023
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 3: This is by way of betting site. You see it there,

1024
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: seventy six Ers plus two seventy five, then the Nixon

1025
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 3: Kings plus nine point fifty to potentially snatch Paul George

1026
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 3: from the Clips. You got the thunder at plus fourteen hundred,

1027
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 3: you got the Pacers plus fourteen hundred, Mavericks plus fifteen hundred,

1028
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 3: and the Lakers on the list because you have to

1029
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: have the Lakers on the list plus fifteen hundred. For

1030
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 3: those that don't know, Paul George has a player option

1031
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 3: worth forty eight million for the twenty four to twenty

1032
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: five campaign, but he could opt to decline potentially head elsewhere.

1033
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: Brian Windhorse on his podcast saying that they are apart

1034
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: when it comes to their extension negotiations because they already

1035
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: did Kawhi. That one's taken care of. But Windhorse thinks

1036
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 3: something will get done here to keep him with the Clippers.

1037
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 3: So this is probably a whole bunch of nothing. But

1038
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: do you have a take on on the Paul George,

1039
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: you know, quote unquote sweepstakes if he does try free agency.

1040
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: Well, I do think it's interesting that they haven't come

1041
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: to a deal yet because when Kawhi got his deal done,

1042
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, James and Paul are gonna sign back, right,

1043
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: And that was months ago. Yeah, yeah, And it seems

1044
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: to be no sort of track here and getting closer together.

1045
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: Maybe the Clippers on their side are thinking, we're gonna

1046
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: wait and see how things go in the playoffs, since

1047
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: we were great for a while here and we've hit

1048
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: a skid and we haven't had the greatest health or

1049
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: success in the playoffs. The Paul George took him to

1050
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: the conference finals. Got to give him props for that one.

1051
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,479
Speaker 1: And also from Paul George's side, maybe it's a little

1052
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: bit of a leverage play here because the Sixers are

1053
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 1: good team. They're getting Joel Embiid back this week, which

1054
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: we just found out. Yep, get a winner of the week.

1055
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: I suppose for that one. But they're gonna have cap

1056
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: space and Paul George would look nice on Philadelphia and

1057
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: he probably knows that so why not take a meeting,

1058
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: why not drive the price up from the Clippers? And

1059
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: then I do like that they throw teams on here

1060
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: like the Thunder, They're gonna have cap space as well.

1061
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: Paul George was top three and MVP playing for the

1062
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder once upon a time. The Pacers they

1063
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: got to throw him in. He was a Pacer once

1064
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: upon a time, and I remember when the Lakers were

1065
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: the favorite to get Paul George. But now plus fifteen hundred,

1066
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: so it doesn't seem like it's gonna last. I feel

1067
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: like he's going to be a Clipper again. But it

1068
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: is surprising that it's taken this long of time to

1069
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: actually get a deal done. And the longer it takes,

1070
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: the more you gotta think is something else at play here?

1071
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's reliable. He's more reliable, I think

1072
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: than Kawhi is, and maybe even more so than James Harden.

1073
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: Paul George's season this year basically twenty three points per game,

1074
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 3: five boards for assists, forty seven, shooting forty one from

1075
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: deep ninety at the line. You know, he's played in

1076
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 3: sixty eight games. He'll be flirting with another All NBA selection.

1077
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: I do not know if he'll make it in one

1078
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 3: of the top fifteen spots. He'll be right, there'll probably

1079
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,959
Speaker 3: get some votes. He's a six time All NBA player,

1080
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 3: nine time All start in his career. I mean point

1081
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: is he still really good, has been really good. It's

1082
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: fun to think of him on a team like the

1083
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 3: seventy six ers for sure.

1084
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: How they're currently.

1085
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 3: Constructed with Bead as your main guy and Maxie and

1086
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 3: then him as that third guy is nice. Some of

1087
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: these other teams too. Sure Knicks could do some juice

1088
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 3: like on the wing than you guys that could. I

1089
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 3: don't think that's likely. King's yep, same thing, But overall

1090
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 3: them with you, I think Windhorse is right, they'll come

1091
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 3: new an agreement. It's just surprising. Maybe it hasn't happened yet.

1092
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 3: With the new Dome opening up. They want to keep

1093
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 3: this team, But then you go, what did they lose

1094
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: in the first round? What if they lose to Luca

1095
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: and the MAVs in five something crazy? It just like

1096
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: blows up in their face and you're like, oh God,

1097
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 3: we're going to do this again, and all this money

1098
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: to these guys who at times have struggled to stay

1099
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: healthy and obviously haven't been to be able to be

1100
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: out there at the same time to go very far.

1101
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe start having some reservations. Maybe maybe,

1102
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 3: but Palmer's got deep pockets. Maybe he doesn't care. But

1103
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 3: he's still damn good player. And I wanted to get

1104
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: that in there a little bit.

1105
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good. And he's like, like you're saying, Paul

1106
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: George fits on every team, Yeah, right, because he plays defense.

1107
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: He can be a catch and shoot three point shooter,

1108
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: and then if the main ball handler is out, Paul

1109
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: George's your main ball handler. And he's still pretty good

1110
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: at that.

1111
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Paul George, we could have given a Winner of

1112
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: the weekend probably too. He had forty one points season

1113
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 3: high against the Hornets. He was on fire from from deep,

1114
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 3: and then he did the jersey swap with Brandon Miller,

1115
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: who has said that's favorite that's my guy, that's my guy,

1116
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 3: it's my favorite player. That was a fun little moment.

1117
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 3: Now you can saw the Hornet share in that one.

1118
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, swaping jerseys Brandon Miller and Paul George. All right,

1119
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 3: we'll call it.

1120
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: There.

1121
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: Lots more shows coming this week again, not the sexiest

1122
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 3: schedule tonight, but Hawks, Bulls eight o'clock, Suns Pelicans on

1123
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: NBA TV also at eight, a bunch of sort of

1124
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 3: weird games Celtics, Hornets, Grizzlies, Pistons, Nets, Pacers, Blazers, Magic. So,

1125
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean, we could have some blowouts here, some huge

1126
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: games in the women's tournament, so must watch games over

1127
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 3: on that. Any thoughts on the final four of the

1128
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 3: men's side, Are you excited for the big boys to

1129
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 3: be a tall big boys? Holy crap? Is it ever?

1130
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who do we got? You can go to the

1131
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: bottom left of them, but to.

1132
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 3: Yukon, Alabama Alabama. Yeah, and then we of course have

1133
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 3: nc Stad as the eleven seed with DJ Burns Zach

1134
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 3: Randolph two point zero. This guy versus Zach, who's bigger,

1135
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 3: you know, height wise and foot four, so those two

1136
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 3: will be going against each other. So yeah, Purdue and

1137
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 3: NC State and then Yukon and Alabama.

1138
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy clinging dominated the University of Illinois, that guy.

1139
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: I know there are bigger dudes in the tournament playing

1140
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: on the other side of the bracket, but that guy

1141
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: looked like he was eighty eight feet tall, just blocking

1142
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: every single shot. So I guess what I'm saying is

1143
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: centers are back.

1144
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: Centers are back. Man, Yeah, you know you have a

1145
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 3: pick there in those two. Who's going to the final next?

1146
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: I mean you go in Yukon.

1147
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: Yukon has gone with.

1148
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 4: Man.

1149
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Edie looks unstoppable. It's but NC State

1150
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: never loses anymore in less than like a month. I

1151
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a meeting of the big

1152
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: dudes clinging and eighty.

1153
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 3: I think you're right one versus one on that side.

1154
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 3: That's my guess as well. Hey, we got another podcast

1155
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,360

1164
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: He had he had a prank wheel. Matt did on

1165
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: the prank Wheel with something called ghost pants, and I

1166
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: was just like enamored by it the whole time. What

1167
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: could ghost pants possibly mean?

1168
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 3: What does it mean? Do I need to go listen

Speaker 3: to this podcast?

1170
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,400

00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not the graphic there or a ghost pants.

1172
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: It's a ghost wearing pants, but the graphic is pretty

1173
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: give some h hints.

1174
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,399

1187
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: you that we talked about on Is This Good? If

1188
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: you see a whoopee cushion on your chair today, you're

1189
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna want to sit on it really hard. You're gonna

1190
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 1: look at it and think, oh, this would be hilarious

1191
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: if I sit really hard on it. But the key

1192
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: sit slowly.

1193
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 3: Into it to get a better to get a better

1194
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: fart zune exactly right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, just dropping on

1195
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 3: it actually does my papa.

1196
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true, you have a huge rip, but as

1197
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: much funny if you sit slowly. That's just a tip

1198
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: for all the people getting pranked out there.

1199
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 3: Everybody sits slowly today. I never know if there's a

1200
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: whoopy cushion under your pillow or something. I guess what

1201
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 3: you got to sort of hide it usually right.

1202
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: A blanket under your pillow.

1203
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 3: Well, like I mean, I'm gonna do that tonight.

1204
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: Oh on your pillow, yeah, Frank Laura, she thinks nothing

1205
00:54:58,880 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 1: has happened the whole.

1206
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 3: End of the day. Yeah, that's good when they at

1207
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 3: least expect it with their head. Your head just for it,

1208
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 3: all right, Happy April fools. They'd be careful out there

1209
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 3: on the streets and we'll see guy tomorrow and merce day.

1210
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 3: People
