WEBVTT - There's Trouble Brewing In Dub Nation

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check, But just a quick.

0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of the Heat Check, there's trouble. There's

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>trouble in Golden State with our Doves.

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>And David.

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Does fans just aren't ready to accept the truth about

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Poole. So we talk about that. I have some

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>things I need to say, things I might have over

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>over said last night in haste and in pain. As

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>the Golden State Warriors cost me Golden Well, Jordan Poole

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>cost me probably close to five hundred dollars with not winning. No,

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>not close to exactly that amount. And so we talk

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>about him, and we talk about Draymond Green and the

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>lost tapes of his podcast in the wake of punching

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Poole in said face, which we now know there

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>was an episode recorded that he did not publish. Uh yeah,

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>there is al so an epidemic that is sweeping the NBA,

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and we check in on the official Timberwolve spokesperson, the

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>pr REP as it were, Austin Rivers. I also bitch

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 2>about the All Star voting because I mean, I think

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>it's terrible. All right, I'm heading out to Sacramento, Nick

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>to see the Kings place Lebron James, so drop that

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>generic gas beat.

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Dubs fans, Dubbs fans, We're a fickle bunch, aren't we.

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 3>If you criticize the Warriors even a little, no matter

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>how legitimate those criticisms are, you could be in the

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 3>DMS with the most rabid Dubs fan and they know

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 3>what's up.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>They tell you, Yeah, all my, all the homies hate

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Poole right now, they say that. But if you

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 2>say that on social media, one you're a hater. Two

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to let this young man develop, and

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>three they'll try to kick you off the Warriors fan bus.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what makes the Dubs our Dubs. You know,

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you can't say a peep, cannot say one peep in

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>the moments when people are legitimately fucking up and losing

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>games as a result of those fuck ups. And in

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 2>my case, let's just tell you go back to the kitchen.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>You're not even a true Dubs fan. There was seventy

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>one quote tweets. None of them were good on my

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Poole tweet last night. They were all some version

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>of who are you? Why do I see you on

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>my timeline? But I think we do need to kind

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>of talk about our dubs a little bit. I mean,

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 2>six and without Steph is fine. That's much better than

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 2>I thought I thought it was. This team would go

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>three and seven, but our Dubs losing to the Pistons

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 2>twice twice the Pistons. The Pistons has check notes eleven

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>wins on the season. Two of those wins are against y'all. Right,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>two of those eleven are again over twenty percent of

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>those wins are against y'all. You lost to the Pacers

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>twice as well. I like the Pacers, but come on, now,

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you lost to the Magic. I mean, these are the

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>doldrums of the NBA that you should be feasting on,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>just stinking your teeth into to get easy wins, fatten

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 2>up so that when you see the Miami Heat away,

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>or you see the New York Knicks away, or whoever,

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>you could say, look, we're good. We've just been destroying

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>teams like the Pacers, the Magic, and the Pistons. So okay,

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I have to admit I had a lot of money

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>riding on this Warrior's win. So when I got home,

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I did not go to bed, I did not watch

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 2>the highlights. I did not look on my phone while

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I was watching the game, which may sound inconceivable to some.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I was locked in to every possession of that Warriors game.

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 2>And I tell you what, there's nothing like the hate

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>that you experience for Jordan Poole when your money and

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 2>your livelihood depends on him not making bad decisions, because

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>he made a lot of them last night, and he

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>made a lot of them against the Hawks. He made

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them against the Blazers. These are three

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>games straight where the decision making quality has been bananas.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Like bananas zibbit a was last night. Everybody just wants

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 2>to be sunshine and rainbows. They just want me to say, oh,

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be. The only thing you can ever say

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 2>about the Doves when they're losing is it's gonna be fine.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the only thing you can say. It's gonna be fine,

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>because it always is fine, and that's what they want

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 2>to hear when things go bad. But here is the

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 2>reality of the situation. And I do think things will

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>be fine because it's always fine with the Warriors. But

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>we have a Jordan Poole problem, folks. Nobody wants to

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 2>admit it, and yes, will he grow, Will he evolve?

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Will he develop? Did stepf have problems like Jordan Pool

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>where he was turning the ball over? Did Clay have

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>problems where he was making sure? None of that right

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>now is relevant at all. We're talking about criticizing the

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>here and the now. Okay, like, what do I see?

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>What is happening? What does it mean? What are the

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>consequences of what I see? Right We're not We're not

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>putting our crystal ball on. That's not what this job is.

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 2>This man has a lot of offensive responsibility, as we know.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>But the issue for my guy, Jordan Poole JP for

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason that no, what he wants to talk about

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>is the turnovers. The turnovers. There's other ones too, I mean,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>chucking just randomly. You know how much I love a

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>heat check, Yeah, I mean it's the name of the pot.

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>But Jordan Poole will heat check when he's ice cold

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and contested and defenders draped around him early on in

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the shot clock. But right now, what we're talking about

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 2>is turnovers, which, by the way, Jordan Poole does more

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>than anyone in the NBA. You didn't think you didn't

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 2>think that was true? Yeah, more than any human being

0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>playing in the NBA right now. Jordan Poole worse than

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Trey Young. That is insane. I know he's got to

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 2>be aggressive. I know the ball's got to be in

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>his hand. I know he has to get into traffic.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 2>He's got to get you into a place where there's

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.119
<v Speaker 2>lots of bodies around trying to poke the ball loose.

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>But sometimes he's just throwing it to the other team

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>on his own self, no issues. He's making boneheaded mistakes

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>in the crunch time, down the stretch, when you're down

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 2>by one, when you have the Warriors just to win,

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and you watch Jordan Poole, it's like having a heart

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>attack every possession. I tell you what, it is, nothing

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>like it. And maybe I wouldn't notice these things if

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>the last leg of a six leg parlay wasn't on

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the line. But it was. And I'm focused now, and

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>it's okay to admit it. It's okay, Draymond, It's okay,

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Steve Kerr, it's okay, Clay, It's okay. Anyone that's rooting

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 2>for the Dubs pool right now is a flamethrower who

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>makes some costly mistakes down the stretch. It's okay. It's

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 2>okay to admit that it loses you games. It's okay

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>to say, on one hand, he keeps us in games

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>because he scores like crazy, but we don't know when

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna fuck up. And all I want from a

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>player is to know what he's gonna be. Anthony Slater

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>tweeted this out today. Jordan Poole has committed a dribbling

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>turnover in the final minute of regulation in three straight

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>tight games. Yeah, it finally costs the Warriors in a

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 2>loss against the Pistons. The only reason that this hasn't

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>been written about with the Hawks or the Blazers is

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>they won those games. Draymond Green had to make a

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>three point shots in order to beat the Hawks. Are

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you are you joking me? What kind of world are

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 2>we living in? And we're just gonna let that'sie. We

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.719
<v Speaker 2>had to have a Draymond Green prayer to get this

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>dub folks. Folks, Jordan Poole is averaging five point one

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>turnovers per game since Steph left. He had six last

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 2>night alone. Six This man, Jordan Poole had fifty two

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>turnovers in the ten games that Steph has missed, and

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>that is the most in the league.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>C J.

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Holmes, the Warriors Rider, points this out. This isn't a

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>recent issue. Pool had an NBA high one hundred and

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty five turnovers entering play Wednesday, and was eighth in

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 2>turnovers per game at three point six. This is a

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>man who comes off the bench too. We're not talking

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 2>about this stretch where he's playing without Steph. Jordan. Poole

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 2>is committing three point six turnovers per game period off

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the bench. Poole has committed seven turnovers in clutch time,

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>defined as the final five minutes of the game in

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 2>which the scoring margin is no more than five points.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 2>I'd say pretty critical time to take care of the basketball.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>But make that eight now with six seconds left down

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>one last night it was I don't even know what

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 2>to say. He gave it to Clay, good job, Clay

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 2>gives it back and he say, oh no, he drives

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>right down. I don't even remember against too Alec Burks.

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It was Alec Burks dribbles the ball off his feet,

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 2>trips over himself, throws the ball out of bounds and

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you are now fucked. Thank god, somehow Clay ended up

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>making an insane three point shot with almost no seconds

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to go, leaving you with one second and all of

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you don't defend Sadiq Bay. Sidik Bay with

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>one second left shoots three in your eyeball night night,

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 2>sleep mask. I looked at my phone to say overtime.

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I was just texting someone to say overtime. Shame on

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 2>me because I looked up and my jaw dropped because

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 2>it said final what This is an issue? And it's

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>not just an issue because the Warriors are paying him

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty million dollars a year. It's it's an issue because

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>this team wants to win now and they don't have

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the patience to wait for him to catch up and

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 2>evolve and develop like Steph did. Do you know the

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 2>difference between Jordan Poole and Steph Curry. There was no

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>expectation to win a fucking thing when Steph Cree came

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>into the league. None, zero, absolutely none. We had Monte Ellis.

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the one. Monte Ellis. Sometimes I want to say

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Monte Morris because he's the one playing right now. He

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>was in there. There was multiple guards playing for the

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Warriors at that point in time where you didn't need

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Steph to be the guy at that moment, just like

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>they don't need Pool to be the guy at this moment.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>But listen, Steph's not there. You need to win. Joe

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>lacub is breathing down your necks saying that he will

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 2>shed salary if this team is not a contender. They

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>need to win now. They need to protect the ball,

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 2>especially in crunch time. Every one of these wins is

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be precious. Let's break down a couple of the

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 2>recent games against the Hawks. Jordan Poole was eleven for

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, two for twelve from three seventeen misses from

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the left side of the court, including three corner threes,

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>open ones too, not contested ones, open ones. Oh, by

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the way, really quickly. He shot a corner three last

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 2>night and did the staff thing where he turns before

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 2>it goes in. It did not go in. It barely

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>hit the fucking rim. So like, it's okay to be

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>eleven for thirty one. If you're the central hub of

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the offense, sometimes you shoot poorly. He did end up

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 2>with twenty eight points, but you can't have six turnovers

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 2>if you're not shooting well. You have to figure out

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>a way to do your best. Jalen Brunson impression. That's

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 2>just what it is. Here's what he did in crunch time.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>He turned the ball over with twelve point one seconds

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>left down too in regulation. Then he had a three

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 2>pointer blocked by Murray that went straight to Dante, who

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 2>tied the game with the three. So that's the reason

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>that they were able to go to overtime. He misses

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 2>a pull up three with forty seconds left in ot

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>up one, they end up winning that game. It doesn't

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.199
<v Speaker 2>always work like that, as we saw against the Pistons,

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 2>a critical turnover in the last four seconds of the

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Jazz game cost them a win that also wiped out

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and washed out an elite scoring performance last night. He

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>was taking terrible threes early on in the shot clock.

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got multiple guys who can you can facilitate it

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to move the ball around. You can't just take a

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty foot step back three, just terrible steph was visibly

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>mad at that turnover, but then Clay, of course is

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Clay and says some nice things to give Jordan Poole

0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.680
<v Speaker 2>an out and make him feel better about himself, because

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>what do you get to do if you're his teammate

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>right now? You're not gonna make him feel worse, are you?

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 2>You're not gonna make him feel less confident about this

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.599
<v Speaker 2>performance and him as a human being and as a

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 2>basketball player. Of course, not because you want him to

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>continue to produce. But this is what he said. I

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>told him in the locker room that there's a reason

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 2>that I threw him the ball because he's like that.

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 2>He's a clutch player, he's a shot creator. We would

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>have not been on this win streak without him. I

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>know that. I mean, shoot, we all go through these

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 2>lapses throughout our career. I remember missing two free throws

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 2>against the Nuggets in my second year and just leaving

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the arena in my uniform. So it's like we all

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>got to go through it. Steph went through it. Jordan.

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna continue to trust him with the ball in

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 2>his hands because he's the engine that makes us go.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's not the misshots. It's not it's the it's

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the turnovers. It's the troubling, troubling turnovers. Are they gonna

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 2>have buyers regret on Jordan Poole and extending him for

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that much money so soon? Probably not, But listen, I

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 2>understand you're gonna have to pay four hundred and fifty

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>million dollars next year. If you keep them all, what

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do? The longer it remains an issue,

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>who knows. Maybe a trade happens, Maybe our dubs struggle

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 2>and continue to struggle. At the end of the day,

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>we know Steph will pull them out, figure out a

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 2>way to get into the play end of the playoffs,

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>and make a run. That's what they do. We are

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the evil Empire. But the longer they struggle, the less

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 2>likely Lika will want to continue to carry this enormous,

0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>enormous peril. So don't hate me. I'm just pointing out

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>what I see from Jordan Poole right now. Like him,

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 2>think he's a good player. Please don't call me a hater.

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>The end, we finally got a podcast from Draymond Green.

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>It's been months by a lot of months, but it

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>happens to not be the podcast that everyone was hoping for,

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the one that we've been waiting with baited breath to

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 2>listen to. What we wanted was Draymond Green right after

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 2>he punched Jordan Poole. I want him directly from the

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>practice facility to his computer, and I want him to

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>record why he did it, what happened, what was the

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>circumstances around it, what's going to happen next. He recorded

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>it right after the incident, but he decided not to

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 2>release it. So listen to this in terms of why.

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 1>That also coincided with what we all know the incident

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to be. At the beginning of the season, with myself

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and a teammate, Jordan, and quite frankly, if I'm being

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent honest, Jackson and I we recorded an

0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>episode right after, and I know everyone was looking for it.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Everyone wanted to hear it, and quite frankly, I wanted

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>to allow you the chance to hear what I had

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>to say. I wanted to allow you the chance to

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of take a trip in my mind and just

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe understand more. And when we recorded the episode, I

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>hated the way I sounded, and so we simply just

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't release it. I didn't like my tone, I didn't

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>like the things I said. I didn't like the way

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it came out. I didn't like.

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 2>It.

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Almost if you're not careful, it almost comes off as

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 1>unremorseful and distasteful one hundred percent distasteful, but also fast.

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>And what do I mean by fast? Quite frankly, I'm

0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 1>not big into sayings or doing things and then run

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 1>into my show because it's going to get more ratings.

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't really like that game. That's the old media.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't play that game. I don't I'm not very interested.

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a time to speak, and you know,

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>if the opportunity is there, I'm gonna speak. I'm never

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna shy away from a topic. But the thing that

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I had to take into consideration with that is number One,

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>someone else was affected. And not only one person was affected,

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but multiple people, tons of I mean, however many you want,

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever word you want to use to describe the amount

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of people. People were affected. And so it wasn't something

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>that just affected me. And so when you do something

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that affects someone else, you can't just take yourself into consideration,

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 1>how you may feel, how it may benefit you, all

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 1>of those things.

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 2>So backup. So Draymond recorded a podcast right after punching Jordan.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>He was about to put it out, did not like

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the tone of it, didn't like what he said how

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 2>it came off, and felt that it was one hundred

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>percent distasteful. I'm not gonna lie y'all. I want to

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:27.679
<v Speaker 2>hear it even more now. I think this is my

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:33.120
<v Speaker 2>new white whale of content. I must. One time I

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.239
<v Speaker 2>looked for a record, you know, worked for looked for

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 2>it for months and months and months, finally founded Jazz Record,

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:47.679
<v Speaker 2>And now I need to find the lost tapes of

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Draymond Green. I must. I have to. I am one

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent sure that at some point we will get

0:19:55.119 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a bootleg copy from Jackson, most likely selling it on eBay,

0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and there'll probably be an NFT attached to it, and

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll be passing him back and forth at Summer League,

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 2>like the mixtapes back in the day, like this is

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.479
<v Speaker 2>the new lost tapes of Draymond Green, Like we need

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>we need to know what he said. I can tell

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 2>It's like, listen, I'm not trying to place blame on

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Jordan in any way, because that would be horrible. That's

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.399
<v Speaker 2>not me. I have to take responsibility as the grown

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>man that I am. But listen to what he said

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>about me, and you tell me whether you would punch him,

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, wait, hold up, you just did that

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 2>whole preamble to then put us or hey, you know,

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 2>there's just some things you just don't say on a

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 2>practice court to your teammates. And when you step over

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>that line, I just felt in that moment I needed

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>to knock him the fuck out. And you know what,

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 2>he got knocked the fuck out. And maybe he won't

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>say those things anymore. I gotta hear what he said, Like,

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 2>what did he say? How distasteful? Could we get? Like?

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Would we get a like? I would do it again?

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>If he said that to me again, I'd do it again.

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Did anyone ever ask him that? Hey, if he said

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.120
<v Speaker 2>those things to you again, would you think you would

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.639
<v Speaker 2>hit him again? Because I need to know. Does anyone

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 2>have a hookup on this podcast tape? I need it, Like,

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 2>drop me a note, you can find me anywhere on

0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.359
<v Speaker 2>social find me. I don't know if this is an

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 2>epidemic or if this is a phenomenon. Let's just call

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 2>it what it is. It's a sickness. It's an epidemic,

0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and we need to address it. It's infected pretty much

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>every team in the NBA, every star player in the NBA,

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 2>even fringe star players in the NBA have caught this.

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you talking about COVID? No, we're talking about scoring.

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about lots and lots of scoring, an epidemic

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 2>in the league, and it's getting out of hand. It

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 2>is getting to the point where I don't even know

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 2>this league anymore. I don't even know this version of

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the NBA anymore. Donovan Mitchell last to catch it. Seventy

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 2>one points for Donovan. He had eleven at halftime, so

0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 2>he was free. It was okay, He seemed fine at halftime.

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Everything seemed to be shaping up for a good twenty seven,

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight point performance, and then, all of a sudden,

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>one of the highest scoring games of all time, also

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the highest scoring regular season performance in Cavs history, which

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 2>people don't talk about enough, and that came right on

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the heels of Luka Doncic in his insane sixty point game,

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 2>which he followed up with a fifty three point game

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>two games later. Joannis last night had fifty five career high.

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:50.719
<v Speaker 2>No one said a word why Why? Because the scoring

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>right now is out of hand. The scoring is so silly,

0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the defense is so bad that nobody even when someone

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 2>drops fifty anymore. Do you even remember Do you even

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:11.479
<v Speaker 2>remember Devin Booker scoring fifty eight? Do you remember it? No,

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.000
<v Speaker 2>you probably don't even remember Devin Booker playing for the

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Phoenix Suns because he's been out with an injury for

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 2>so long this season, since December of this year December, okay,

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 2>not the full season, not the calendar year, December, one month.

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 2>These are the highest scoring games. Donovan Mitchell seventy one,

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Luca sixty, Booker fifty eight, Anthony Davis fifty five, Jannis

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 2>fifty five, Clay fifty four, Embiid fifty three. Pascal Siakam

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 2>scored fifty two points. Say it Ain't so Luca fifty one,

0:23:52.480 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Luca fifty Lebron forty seven. Garland Darius Garland scored points

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Joannis forty five, Paul George forty five. That's in the

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:13.520
<v Speaker 2>last five weeks. What are we talking about? That's like

0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty people. That's insane. Twenty guys have scored forty or

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:26.359
<v Speaker 2>more this year, eighty nine games in total. This is

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 2>scoring at epidemic proportions. We need these guys to start

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 2>wearing masks like guys are catching it. It's not just superstars.

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 2>My man Dennis Shruder put up thirty two last night.

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I love the NBA, I love scoring, I love buckets.

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Guys are skilled. I'm not trying to say, get off

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>my lawn. This isn't it's fun, blah blah blah. But

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're in your thirties, which maybe you're in your

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 2>thirties and you don't listen to podcasts, or maybe you

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 2>watch the news, I don't know, But if you're like me,

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you remember when it was hard to drop fifty. Doesn't

0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>seem hard to drop fifty anymore, just seems inevitable. When

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 2>fifty is inevitable, if you're a superstar, nobody's playing, no

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>damn defense. We have nobody out here strapping anymore. We

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 2>expect now forty points nightly from embiid, of course, But

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Clarkson, I'm getting forty out of Jordan Clarkson. Do

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you guys even know where Jordan Clarkson went to school?

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you even know who drafted Jordan Clarkson? Do you

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 2>even know what teams he's played for so far in

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the NBA? Did you know he played for Cleveland? Did

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>you know that Jordan Clarkson is dropping forty? Okay, Pascal Siakam,

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>who no one knew before Kawhi I got there, and

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>he's a fine player. I like Pascal. He's a he's

0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a fine player. Fifty two is he that guy? Is

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Pascal that guy to score fifty two on someone's head

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 2>when they're draping the defense around him. No, because they're

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 2>not draping the defense around him. At least Donovan Mitchell

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 2>seventy one. He was the only man out there. Everyone

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.880
<v Speaker 2>knew he was gonna get the ball. Everyone was exhausted,

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 2>and he was just better than every guy on that floor.

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 2>They were double and triple teaming him. That's the kind

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 2>of seventy one I want to see. I don't want

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 2>to see guys just in a layup line. Just lay up, layup, dunk, layup,

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:45.160
<v Speaker 2>easy mid range layup. What is that? That's that's literally

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 2>just me watching practice. Pascal Siakam is not Yannis, He's

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>not Embiid. He should not be putting up half of

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred points against any team, especially the Knicks. Where

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>was Isa Hartenstein, Where was Mitchell Robinson? Where was RJ? Barrett?

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Where was anyone? He scored a career high and they

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>still lost. The Toronto Raptors still lost. By the way,

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 2>they're in free fall. We'll get to it at some point.

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Someone make it make sense. The defensive schemes have had

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.160
<v Speaker 2>to change so that teams are willing to let guys

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 2>like Giannis or Luca. They're just basically saying, let the

0:27:25.840 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 2>number one guy go off for fifty and we'll see.

0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:33.119
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, Like, just give him everything he wants, and

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 2>then if he gets fifty, who cares, We'll get one

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred and ten. Luca has lost twice so far this year,

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 2>scoring fifty points in a game that strategy apparently is working.

0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a combination of things that explains this high degree,

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 2>this epidemic of scoring. Guys obviously are more skilled. They

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>can score buckets in a bunch of different ways, three

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 2>different styles like and then you have defenses designed not

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>to worry about one guy right, concentrating on stopping the

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>other players. Is this fun? Do you find this fun?

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to a friend the other day while

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 2>having a nice little Chai t latte out in La

0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think he agrees. Is this fun? No, it's

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 2>not that fun. Does it feel meaningful? No, it does

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 2>not feel that meaningful. Is it hard to bet? Yeah,

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you fucking believe it is. I can't tell who's gonna

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:31.879
<v Speaker 2>score on a night to night Basis I love watching

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker go off for fifty eight, but I'm not

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 2>sure when that happens whether it's even good basketball. And

0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 2>in that game, the Sun's won one to eighteen one

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 2>fourteen over the Pelicans. We all celebrated his game, but

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>he went down four minutes into the next game and

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't played since. So is that good for his health?

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Is that good for his longevity? That's the issue. Luke's

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 2>gone insane because if mav' aren't gonna win unless he

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>scores fifty, how can anyone do that on a night

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>to night basis They can't, that's the simple answer. At

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>least they probably can't. Maybe Luca can. But all of

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.880
<v Speaker 2>this makes it, at the end of the day impossible

0:29:06.960 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 2>to decide who's the MVP. We don't know if everyone's

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 2>scoring seventy fifty points, what are we doing here? Like,

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 2>how do we know? How do we choose four players Luca,

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Jannis and b Braun all averaging thirty six points per game?

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:26.720
<v Speaker 2>What if you look back at the league in like

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and you look at like the scoring leaders,

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 2>like thirty was a lot, thirty was a lot. There's

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:38.720
<v Speaker 2>like twenty five guys in the NBA scoring thirty on average.

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Right now. I had a joke all ready to go

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 2>about how Adam Silver is juiced the ball in some

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 2>way to make it go in the hoop. There's a

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 2>magnetic force inside this ball. He just turns it on

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.719
<v Speaker 2>with the remote. He's just like that one's going in.

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 2>He can just push. He can just push buttons to

0:29:56.800 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>decide tonight tonight, Devin Booker's going off. See that will

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 2>go tonight? Giannis is going off because I think he

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 2>was jealous of the World Cup. Really, he wants to

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:09.239
<v Speaker 2>do anything that he can to make sure that the

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 2>eyeballs didn't change over the World Cup and the EPL.

0:30:13.640 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Now for the first part of the season. I know

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 2>this isn't like baseball, but I really need to explore

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>more whether Adam Silver is good for basketball. Everybody thinks

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 2>he is upon first glance. I don't know, though, We'll

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 2>have to look into it and dig into it more.

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 2>One thing's for sure. For every fifty Burger a star

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and maybe non stars like Anfrety Simons drops. I think

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver smiles and the ratings due too quick updates

0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 2>on the Timberwolves courtesy of I think he's like now

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 2>the head of PR for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I think

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>he's now got that job. He's playing basketball and the

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>head of PR, head of communications, Austin rivers, he's not

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 2>really last episode, Austin we talked about it, came out

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and gave his thoughts on why the team sucked, who's responsible?

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Everyone is at fault, but of course it's Rudy Gobert's fault.

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Of course.

0:31:26.240 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 2>As an aside, did you guys see this Minnesota? Is

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>anybody worse at social media than the Minnesota Timberwolves because

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 2>they've tried to create like this buzz around Rudy Gobert

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 2>and they've given him a new nickname. What do you

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>think his nickname is? What do you think it is?

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I immediately said something French, right, like the like the

0:31:50.560 --> 0:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>croissant or something. It will probably be better than this

0:31:55.520 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 2>gob Zilla g ob as in Godzilla with a bee,

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 2>gob like like ghak, like what are we doing here?

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Gob Gobzilla like Gobert? I get it. Shouldn't it be Gobzilla? Then?

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Gobzilla probably the worst nickname of all time. Let's be honest.

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I am I am here for anything that makes Rudy

0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Gobert look worse so Rudy Gobzilla. Well they gonna say

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you got gobsmacked by Gobzilla? What are we that's so

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:39.520
<v Speaker 2>dehumanizing too to call him Godzilla Godzilla? Like, listen, I

0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:41.240
<v Speaker 2>know we don't like Rudy, but if you have to

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 2>think about calling him something and you're using Godzilla as

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 2>his nickname, that'd be like calling Karl Anthony Towns cat squatch.

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 2>That's probably their next one instead a sad squash cat squatch.

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably someone like twenty two years old,

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 2>probably making like four fifty an hour. They're like just

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 2>trying to fire off hot tweets. Back to Austin Rivers,

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that was a total aside. This is what he had

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 2>to say. Aunt Edwards is currently six years away from

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>his prime and he's already this good. He's a franchise player.

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 2>He's the guy here, no doubt about it. Pause. Hold up,

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Austin Rivers. You just started something. You just started some shit.

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know this, Austin, but your

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 2>job is to calm things down, not to fire things up.

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Not Karl Anthony Towns. He's not the guy, Not Gobzilla,

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Rudy Gobert. He's not the guy, not Di Loo who

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 2>unfollowed the entire Wolves organization on Instagram because he's not

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:56.280
<v Speaker 2>getting extended aunt Edwards. I agree, by the way, aunt

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Edwards is the man in Minnesota according to Austin Rivers,

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, he's not wrong and as the star,

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 2>probably the only star that you can count on a

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:09.280
<v Speaker 2>night tonight basis. Did you see what aunt Edwards did

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 2>to everyone the last three games? He has been insane.

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 2>They need I think he played against Portland and was ridiculous.

0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 2>They need to build around him and no one else.

0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Only only this is the way for Minnesota to break

0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.759
<v Speaker 2>out of its history of underperforming. Only this is the way.

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>He is our Joe Burrow. If you like Minnesota. He

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 2>is needing to be protected and surrounded by players that

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 2>bring out the best in him. And everyone else is

0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 2>just a distraction and is just a complication and is

0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 2>just on their way out. Really. But what's amazing about

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 2>all of this is that Austin Rivers is actually speaking

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:48.720
<v Speaker 2>about the Wolve's future. Six years from now, not five,

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 2>not seven. Six years from now. Is Austin Rivers lobbying

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to be the head coach or assistant coach of the Wolves.

0:34:56.920 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Six years from now where he can give Aunt Edwards

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.919
<v Speaker 2>the key, because that would be a very political, very

0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>doc river Sun kind of thing to do. I cannot

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 2>hear what else he's gonna say. He's gonna be talking

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 2>all year because he's two way, he's not fully guaranteed,

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's got the gift of gab. I think he's

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 2>turning into our Olivia Pope from Scandal, like the crisis

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>manager pr for Austin Rivers. It's about that time again.

0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Happens every year. It's time to time to bust a rhyme.

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 2>No is it time to make fun of Rudy Gobert always?

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 2>But no, it's NBA Fan All Star voting time. So

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 2>it's the beginning of my annual rants on how much

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely hate fan voting. I hate it. I think

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.720
<v Speaker 2>it's fucking trash. I think it needs to go. Today

0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Shaan's dropped the first standings in the NBA fan voting

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and it was as dumb as I've ever seen. It

0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>was dumber than last year. If it's even possible. Let's

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>look at what it currently looks like now depth wise.

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference. You've got Lebron James in the front court,

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Jokic Front Court a d Zion Wiggins, which isn't as

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 2>crazy as it was last year, honestly, Paul George, Laurie,

0:36:28.680 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Markinen Fine, Draymond Kawhi, Kevon Looney, The Guards in the West,

0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry, Luca jaw Shay Clay, Russell Westbrook, Russell Westbrook,

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Damian Lillard, Devin Booker, eighth, Austin Reeves nine. These are

0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 2>all by votes. By the way, this is a ranking system.

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Pool ten. We've got Russell Westbrook over Damian Lillard.

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 2>We've got Russell Westbrook over Devin Booker. Listen. I'm not

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a big fan of Jordan Poole's as you can see,

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 2>but Austin Reeves over Jordan Poole, Austin Reeves for Austar.

0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:24.320
<v Speaker 2>There's one hundred and forty four thousand people that voted

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:28.839
<v Speaker 2>for Austin Reeves. All of them live in LA, all

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 2>of them are own, all of them are probably a

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 2>bus family member. Let's go to the east. KD number one,

0:37:36.040 --> 0:37:43.560
<v Speaker 2>three million votes, Jannis number two, Joel Embiid three, Tatum four,

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Butler interesting, very interesting, Pascal Siakam six, Come on,

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:59.200
<v Speaker 2>come on, Kyle Kuzma. I didn't even see this one.

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Who number seven, Paolo ben Carro finally an honest vote.

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Nick Claxton, Nick Claxton, he's been good, but he's he is?

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 2>He an All Star? And Jared Allen number one. This

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 2>is where it gets funny. Kyrie Irving, number one guard

0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 2>in the East. Kyrie Irving, the one that was suspended

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 2>miss time. I know he's going crazy. I know that

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>nets are winning games. Two million votes for Kyrie Irving,

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Donovan Mitchell two Fair, James Harden three, Jalen Brown four,

0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Trey Young, Trey Young. Trey Young's five. Listen, let's just

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>go down the list. We've got Lamello at seven, Tyrese Haliburn.

0:38:56.120 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 2>LaMelo hasn't even played any games. Tyres Burton should be

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.320
<v Speaker 2>five on this list. He should be five. He should

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:07.920
<v Speaker 2>be five. Absolutely, Derek Rose, that's how you know this

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>shit is fucked up. You know, I don't want to

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 2>cuss that much because I got old people and babies.

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Listen to pot that's fucked Derek Rose over Darius Garland.

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Didn't I just tell you Darius Garland put up forty

0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:25.439
<v Speaker 2>five forty seven twice like Darius Garland tenth. The disrespect

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to Putray Young, who is largely the most inefficient player

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:34.480
<v Speaker 2>in the league right now, is absolutely insane. Broun, of

0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 2>course running away with this is that utterly predictable. That's

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 2>what he does because he's a global superstar. He's a

0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:43.640
<v Speaker 2>bigger superstar than's Laton. Don't let his Laton fans hear

0:39:43.800 --> 0:39:47.720
<v Speaker 2>that because they get mad. But putting Lebron James over Jokic,

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 2>what are we talking about? What are we saying? I

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:54.400
<v Speaker 2>like Lebron. He's had a nice, a nice last ten games.

0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 2>He's been injured too. Yogic just played every fucking game.

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 2>He's I mean, the most efficient season of his career.

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 2>He's improved his defense at an all NBA level. Five

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight says he should win the Defensive Player of

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the Year. We got Anthony day to day. Davis is third.

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:18.439
<v Speaker 2>What are we doing? What are we doing? Why? He's

0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 2>missed weeks of time? No one knows when he's coming back.

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Five of the ten forwards in the West have missed

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 2>significant time. Lori Markinen has not missed time. He has

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:34.440
<v Speaker 2>balled out. He's seventh. The question, though, that I have,

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 2>is where the fuck is Demontis Sabonis? Where is he?

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 2>What has he been doing? U? Y think because you're

0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 2>not a Kings fan? What is Demonis Sabonis doing this season? Okay,

0:40:47.719 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 2>he's averaging nineteen thirteen and seven, nineteen thirteen and seven,

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 2>he's playing with a broken thumb and not missed a game.

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis would never never, guard Wise? Why is Austin

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Reeves on this list? Like I said, Aunt Edwards didn't

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:16.160
<v Speaker 2>even make the list. Oh my god, this list is trash.

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Fans are terrible. You can just see it. Bat Little

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:26.600
<v Speaker 2>market teams like Sacramento, Minnesota, no shine, big markets like Atlanta,

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:31.879
<v Speaker 2>like LA. I don't know why, k I don't even

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 2>know the explanation for Kyle Kuzma. Former Lakers get to

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:37.919
<v Speaker 2>just make this list now too. I'm not sure. I'm

0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>not sure Kyle Kuzma. He's had a fine year, but

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:44.360
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, he's on a trash team. Wizards. Bradley

0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Beale has been out pretty much indefinitely. Just he just

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 2>made had a hamstring strain. What are we doing Kyle

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Kuzma over Paolo No, No, just no, Trey Young over

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Tyrese Halliburton, Trey Young shooting forty one percent from the

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:05.760
<v Speaker 2>field this year period. Not from three, He's shooting thirty

0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 2>one percent from three and that's up since in the

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:11.760
<v Speaker 2>last month he was at twenty nine percent. That's bottom

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 2>five for high volume shooting in the entire NBA. Dereck

0:42:17.080 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Rose over Darius Garland. Take this fan vote away. Take

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:23.319
<v Speaker 2>it away. They don't deserve it. They don't know how

0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to use this power. We got randoms coming up playing

0:42:26.480 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Game, and it affects their checks, it

0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:31.280
<v Speaker 2>affects their confidence, it affects how people around the league

0:42:31.280 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 2>see them. This is enough, This is fucked up, this

0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is terrible. You're not qualified to have a vote. If

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you're putting Austin Reeves on there, you don't get a vote.

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't get one. Derek Rose, you don't get a vote.

0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Two hundred and twenty thousand people voted for Dereck Rose.

0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Are you serious? And I know it's like MX points.

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 2>They're like today, you win five votes if you vote

0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 2>for someone for the All Star Game, which is also crazy,

0:42:59.520 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 2>one fan, one vote. You don't get extra votes. It's

0:43:03.040 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 2>not like today's a special day. If you buy gas,

0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 2>you get triple the points. You buy a plane ticket

0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:15.719
<v Speaker 2>on American Airlines with MX, you get five x the points. No,

0:43:15.920 --> 0:43:20.279
<v Speaker 2>you vote for Derrick Rose, you get one vote. I

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 2>bet all of his votes came on like triple points day.

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:26.520
<v Speaker 2>This is insane. Believe me. I will talk about this

0:43:26.680 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 2>every year going forward. I get more enraged year by year.

0:43:30.360 --> 0:43:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like trying to chill out, but these things they

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 2>do not make it easy to chill out. Speaking of which,

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:37.440
<v Speaker 2>we got to chill out. That's all the time that

0:43:37.480 --> 0:43:39.800
<v Speaker 2>we have for the Heat Check. We'll be back Monday

0:43:39.840 --> 0:43:42.840
