35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,800

Speaker 2: We have been saying ray J's name. Yeah, we have,

39
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: not because of ray J Dennis really, because we're talking

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: about Brandy anyway. I think we should create some sort

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: of rivalry skeets. I don't know who you want it

42

00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: No, I'm just cheering for a great game. I'm like,

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm like Jacob Toby Man that just won a great game.

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Well yeah me, Sean Elliott, you're a blow yeah please Okay.

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: So that's the first piece of news. Second piece of news,

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: we had two more wedgies over the weekend. Both happened

50
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Friday night, and that got us to the magical number

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: of fifty weggies on the season. We start here with

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: PJ Hall blocking slash fouling tennis Shrewder's lay up attempt there,

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: so that's number forty nine. And then number fifty was

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: a little later in the night and it was three

55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: time MVP Nikola Jokic on the put back attempt there.

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: He jammed it in there with time Lord also battling

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: for the board. So that's number fifty. That's an important

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: number when it comes to weggies. That's sort of the

59
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: goal we're at least always looking for. The minimum weggie goal.

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Is our twelfth season of attempting to track every weggie

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: marks the fifth time we've hit at least fifty weggies.

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: So the all time record is sixty three wedgies. That

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: happened a couple of years ago, So we still need

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: fourteen more to set the all time record. But nice

65
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: to see us get to fifty already, not even March.

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: No wedgies are on the uptick. Yeah, because we have

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: been tracking you for twelve years. We haven't been attempting skits.

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: We're tracking them. Come on, man, that's literally we've missed weggies.

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: That's why I say attempt guarantee. I highly don't. Oh

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: get over twelve seasons, how many wedges you think.

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: We've had times where we've come in and like two

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: days later someone's like, you've missed a wedg.

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Well listen that Dennis Shuter one

74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: the other day that blocked by PJ help. Nobody saw that.

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: That was a quick one. Anyways, it's been on the

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: increase either way. Twelve years, it's been six fifty times.

77
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: We've had fifty now five times over the twelve years.

78
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: Over the first six years, it was just one over

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: the last six years, four times, So it's on the increase.

80
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: It's great summer project. Watched every minute of every game.

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: There's the only way to figure it out, just to

82
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: see it deadly mess and a comb through it cross reference. Look,

83
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I wish I really wish the play by play we

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: are in the play by play era. I wish they

85
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: noted or did a better job of noting said weggies,

86
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: because the old hack used to be just like, go

87
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: look for jump ball situation. Yes, right, and that'll get you.

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: A lot of them.

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: But not like that Dennis Shruder one, it's a foul.

90
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't really, Aggie, Well it is.

91
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you gotta watch it. That's the thing.

92
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: You gotta have people watching otherwise that there's no way

93
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: you can find that out.

94
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Luckily, everybody's got a voice on social media, so

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: that has house helps.

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Hey see Aggie, Sayggie, that's what we okay, So let

97
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: us know if you see one. Don't don't don't assume

98
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: somebody else's I don't like when people do that. Don't

99
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: be shy. Don't be shy. Just say hey, Weggie around

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: this time. You don't even got to be exact with

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: the time to say, like, you know, this quarter near

102
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: the start and whatever. We can't watch every game, but

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: we try. Uh, let's get into NBA weekend winners. We'll

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: do a couple rounds of winners. Eventually losers TK gets

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: started where you want to go?

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: I got the New York Knickerbockers aka the New York

107
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: Knicks aka the New York Dix, as Charles Berkley called

108
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: the Wolves.

109
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: How they handled the balls on Sunday, Big deal, everybody

110
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: beats the Bulls.

111
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 3: Ninth straight losses for Chicago, But I'm giving the Knicks

112
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: a winner for Saturday night their comeback against the Rockets

113
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: were down by eighteen right at the start.

114
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: Of the fourth quarter.

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Then New York completely flipped the script by doing three things.

116
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Number one, knocking down threes.

117
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 3: As soon as they went down by eighteen, Landry Shamitt

118
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: hit one from the quarter. It was one of four

119
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: threes in three minutes. As soon as the Rockets took

120
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: their biggest lead of the game, Shamit hit a couple.

121
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Towns hit one. Alvarado hit one from the quarter from

122
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: the corner as well. After eleven turnovers through the third quarter,

123
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: the Knicks just started getting a ton of quality shots.

124
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: It looked like a completely different offense. A lot of

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 3: that I thought was how's Jose Alvarado getting in the

126
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: lane and finding kickouts. The ball would swing around and

127
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: they got a lot of really good looks, so that

128
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: changed up. I thought that was nice for New York. Also,

129
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: top notch defense all around, I thought from New York.

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: During the comeback, Karl Anthony Towns made things really tough

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: on Alpa and Ngun bumping, slapping, just knocking the ball

132
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: out of his hands. Tough shots all around for seng Gun.

133
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: Jose Alvarado got two steals, both of which turned into

134
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: pretty tough layups. On the other end, Jalen Brunson did

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: his part drawing charges. I don't know if either of

136
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: them were a charge, but he got the whistle because

137
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: the atmosphere was raucous. And then Oh Jiannobi kind of

138
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: put the clamps on Kevin Durant. I thought rockets offense

139
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: a little clunky, a little your turn, my turn. And

140
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: also they just had some shots go in and out.

141
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: After shooting pretty well through three quarters, most importantly, the

142
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: Knicks Stars came through and the fourth quarter, Towns went

143
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: for seven points in the fourth, a lot of tough

144
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: takes from him. He had a big time dunk on

145
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Jabari Smith, and then Jalen Brunson was his usual midi

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: master eight points in the quarter, had that layup, but

147
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: the other three or the other six points were on

148
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: mid range jumpers. This was like the idealized version of

149
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: the Knicks in the fourth quarter, everybody playing their part,

150
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: the stars being stars, and a good enough defense that

151
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: they made things tough on the Rockets, and the offense

152
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: just looked great, I thought in that fourth quarter, super loud,

153
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: and then the Knicks were very wise Knicks fans og

154
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: goes to the line with like five seconds left, huge shots,

155
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: quiet after some crazy let's go next chance as they

156
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: were rallying there. So big time come back win for

157
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: New York. Then, like I said, they took care of

158
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: the Bulls yesterday pretty easily held.

159
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: Them in the ninety nine points.

160
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: Nobody on that team can score.

161
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, great win for the next on Saturday, and did

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: their business on Sunday.

163
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did their business in the fourth quarter against

164
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 2: those Rockets. Watching the first three quarters after their bad

165
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: loss to the Pistons on Thursday, start to think, oh gosh,

166
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: this is scary times and then they turned it up.

167
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: You know, there's the ESPN report that Karl Anthony Towns

168
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: got into his teammates faces to get them going in

169
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. And Durant was sitting on the bench

170
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: for those first five minutes and Sheng Gun was clanking.

171
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean those are I think literally a couple of airballs,

172
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: and you complained for a foul on that one. And

173
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: then as soon as Durank got back on the floor

174
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: for the last seven minutes, yeah, he just couldn't hit.

175
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: It was miss miss miss then to make and then

176
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: the turnover turnover turnover, including those the charges that you're

177
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: saying there, Trey four turnover was in the quarter for

178
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Durant in just seven minutes for him. So yeah, the

179
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: worrisome about the clunky offense, as you said about the Rockets,

180
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: is when is a point guard time for this team win?

181
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Is Fred van Vliet coming back? I think that's I'll

182
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: worry for this team going forward. Although you know, one

183
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: of the things that Kevin Durant said in his Twitter

184
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: burner was I can't trust Jabari Smith. Hey man, that

185
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: guy was splashing in this game twenty one four threes,

186
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: So maybe that's a positive. I'm looking for all the

187
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: positives for this Rockets team because they got there. They're

188
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: up eighteen on the road against this a squad that

189
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: needed a win after losing to the Pistons on Thursday.

190
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: Brunson knew that that they needed to win or should

191
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: get this win. When they came back. The defense obviously

192
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: got them back into the game. But man, that guy

193
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: was hitting every big shot yep down the stretch like

194
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: Captain Clutch for a reason. Just awesome to see the

195
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: smallest guy out there. Well, not really now with Elvarado

196
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: in the mix, but you know what I mean, Yeah,

197
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: the smallest guy.

198
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: But they play three guards like that was pretty interesting.

199
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: Like it was Alvarado and bruntson and then Shamitt is

200
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: basically a guard. He's taller, but he's a skinny guy.

201
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: He's been really important, uh for the Knicks. When he

202
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: plays well, it feels like it gives him a little

203
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: bit of extra juice shooting out there. But to be

204
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: able to get away playing those three guards against the

205
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: Rockets team, that's gigantic. That doesn't make any sense to me.

206
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: Hemy Udoka afterwards was like, it's been the same thing

207
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: the entire time I've been here. We just dribble out, dribble, dribble, ribble, dribble,

208
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: and the offense slows down. You're the coach man, call

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: a play but that's I mean, that's im Udoka offense.

210
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: Like that's what it was when he was with the

211
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: Celtics as well, and it was the same complaint, Oh,

212
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: we just dribble it out, literally do something.

213
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: Then all he does is call defense, yeah, and and

214
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: then call out his teammates. Yeah, his players, I should say, yeah.

215
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: And that's maybe why it works for like a short

216
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: window a guy like that to come in and sort

217
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: of whip everybody into shape here and like play a

218
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: little harder and play a little more aggressiveness. And then

219
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe that tires on teams and blessed the Skies that

220
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,359
Speaker 1: he had to leave the Celtics because of weird situations,

221
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: as a lot of people have pointed out, Yeah, maybe so.

222
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: But with regards to the Rockets, like they were getting

223
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: their best shots in the fourth quarter when Reed Shepherd

224
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: was finding guys with like diagonal passes to the corner,

225
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: was getting some wide open looks. He's a natural ball mover,

226
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: and he's the only guy who's a real natural ball

227
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: mover on that team, because like Amen Thompson, he's a

228
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: decent enough playmaker, but he's not really a point guard.

229
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: Even though they've tried to fake it. They do it

230
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: with shng Goon as well, but he just dribbles twenty

231
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 3: times and then settles for a shot. And Durant it's

232
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: been the same clutch thing with Kevin Durant for the

233
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: entirety of his career. He makes really tough shots. He

234
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: also misses shots and if he's not involved in the offense,

235
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: he just stands there. Remember when we used to complain

236
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: about Westbrook taking too many shots for the Thunder. That

237
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: was fifteen years ago and nothing has changed. So, uh,

238
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't think the Rockets are going

239
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: to do it this year. They obviously don't think so either,

240
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: because they didn't make any moves at the deadline when

241
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: they obviously could have. Uh So, just a weird second

242
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: half of the season. I think for this too, I

243
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: would assume Fred is their move. Fred Vanvliet has to

244
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: come back, but it has to be soon. But I

245
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 3: don't hurt in preseason. I don't think he's gonna play

246
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: this year, and he's not gonna be Van Vliet this

247
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: year if he does. And even last year, when he

248
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: was like one of their main clutch guys, it was

249
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: can you bail us out with a deep three.

250
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: It's not like he was getting into the lane and

251
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: creating for others. It was the same.

252
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: Old Udokah style offense, dribble it out and hit a

253
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: miracle shot if you can.

254
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will see if he comes back. I would

255
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: have to expect that they have an expectation, but it

256
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: is worrisome. There's no doubt he started the podcast, but

257
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: it's some inside information here that he wasn't going to

258
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: go and continue the podcast if he came back. That's

259
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: not guaranteed. Either is the gay, either is the him

260
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: coming back. But it felt like he thought about, Okay,

261
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,479
Speaker 2: the day that I come back, I may not be podcasting.

262
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: So maybe he's coming back. Who knows, but that is

263
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 2: the guy. That is definitely the guy for me, because

264
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: it ain't the guys you mentioned. Aaron Holliday is not

265
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: solving anything. He's too teeny tiny. He's on that roster,

266
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: but he's way too small. So it's fred.

267
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: How many ad sales has that podcast committed to already?

268
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: What's the inventory they need to hit? These are the

269
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: things we should be digging into that will tell us everything.

270
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: I think it's great with player podcasts because it's a

271
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: real dg AF. They don't care.

272
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I didn't even know he was still doing the podcast?

273
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah he is? Was it point got?

274
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: No?

275
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: What was it called? I forget anyway?

276
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: This one said just Fred said?

277
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: No?

278
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: Said Fred? Is it something better on yourself related?

279
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: Or no?

280
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: I can't don't remember?

281
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: Have seen sounds familiar? All right?

282
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Nick's big winner of the weekend? Where are you going?

283
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Boston Celtics because they are cooking

284
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: at the right time and their head coach Joe Mizzoula

285
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: is contemplating, is evaluating, is saying how do we make

286
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: this a championship caliber team while on ramping Jason Tatum

287
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: when he comes back. Here's the solution, Paine Bridge. You

288
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: go back to the bench. He started this entire season.

289
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: It's Charlie forty eight games, last seven he's been on

290
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: the bench, and he peeked against the Los Angeles Lakers

291
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: this weekend. Wha gosh, it was spectacular stuff. I know

292
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: people are looking at him putting Jared Vanderbilt on skates.

293
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: Great play, But was more impressive to me was the

294
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: step backs, the end of shot locker, end of game

295
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: clock that Maydon Pritchard is so known for hitting bombs

296
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: of threes to get this thing going. Obviously, he is

297
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: so good right now at getting into guy's bodies and

298
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: creating enough space for himself to hit shots. He dropped

299
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: thirty in this one, but over all those first forty

300
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: eight games, he wasn't as efficient as last year when

301
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: he was six Man of the Year because there was

302
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: just more on his shoulders. And now you have to

303
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: you have to assume that Jason Tatum is coming back.

304
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 2: With Peyton Pritchard going to the bench, everybody coming back,

305
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: No Jayson Tatum's lock. Joe Mizula was Joe Mozzulla's asked

306
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: this weekend. It was so great. Hey, was he at practice? Yeah,

307
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: he was at practice. Did he get involved in anything?

308
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: And then the Joe Mizzoula stare, no words, just the

309
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: gen Z stare. Yeah, yeah, he's he's coming back. Man.

310
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: It sure feels that way if this guy is just

311
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: implementing exactly what Paynon Pritchard should be coming off the bench,

312
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: because again the first forty games he was very good

313
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: in the starting role, but he dropped two's efficiency threes efficiency,

314
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: so he just wasn't himself. And then with Jalen Brown starting,

315
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: they can balance a little bit. He had a great

316
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: game against the Lakers thirty two to eight and seven.

317
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: But Pritchard is just peaking. He had twenty six the

318
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: game before off the bench against Golden State. In these

319
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: seven games since going to the bench, he's hit twenty

320
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: or more in six of those seven games. It feels

321
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: like Missoula is peaking with this team. Even Baylor Shireman

322
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: did a good job against Luka. Doncis just slo him

323
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: down a little bit. Just the body that's not super athletic,

324
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: super jumpy type of guy. Just stay with Luca, and

325
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: he threw him off a little bit. So that was

326
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: a great win for them. It's happening. Man Tatum's coming

327
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: back in this team.

328
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Even though there were several reports like over the past

329
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: week about the uncertainty about Tatum's return, it seems to

330
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: have been like slow played a little bit here from

331
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: some notable reporters. But is he coming back or is

332
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: he not coming back?

333
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: You're he's in practice. He was participating, no matter what

334
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: Joe Mizula's eyes said. He was participating and somewhat. So

335
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: I am not Brian Souter, I'm not a duck, but

336
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: it sure feels like the guy's on the floor right here,

337
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: right now, so they're going to try him out. He's

338
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: going to be in that starting role playing beside Jayleen

339
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: Brown and Peyton Richer. Will be off the bench, making

340
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: Vooch look good, making Kada look good when when the

341
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: balance when they go to pritch Kada, even though his

342
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: assists numbers are all those are inflated. You want to

343
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: talk inflation assists or they're out of control. The guy

344
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: was passing into Derek White at like mid court. Derek

345
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: White goes and gets into his own movement and makes

346
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: his own shot. I don't even assist. They're literally giving

347
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: assists for anything. It's almost anything, right anyway, he looks

348
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: cut off the bench, though he looks great.

349
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Weggie and assist inflation. That's what's happening here, That's true.

350
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the Celtics or Prichard or Tatum's potential return,

351
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: all right, Tatum I think is going to come back.

352
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: He's basically healthy enough if he's playing five on five.

353
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: It's just the mental hurdle of can I do this

354
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: in real NBA games going into the playoffs especially, so I.

355
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Think he will eventually come back.

356
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: And if you listen to Bill Simmons enough, you know

357
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: that guy is tapped in and he's telling you basically

358
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: the rotations that they're going to do.

359
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: So that guy, I do believe we'll be back.

360
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: And that's good for the Celtics because Pritchard is a

361
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: natural sixth man. He's made to be a six man.

362
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: That's why he won sixth Man of the Year. His

363
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: usage shot way up now that he's coming off the

364
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: bench because he's the number one playmaker out there. He's

365
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: such an awesome one on one player. Just ask Jake

366
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: Laurabia punched him in the stomach then hit a fade

367
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: away that was an awesome shot. But he can get

368
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: to basically any shot he wants to. Pritchard can and

369
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: then even if the assist numbers are a little inflated,

370
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: still eight means you're removing the ball and that's necessary

371
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: and they've got Vouch doing enough out there. He didn't

372
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: have the greatest run I didn't think in this game,

373
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: but he's just an option for him now he doesn't

374
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: have to be their number one center, and he's not

375
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: their number one center, So I think it's nice for

376
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: the Celtics that Pritchard can carry the offense during the

377
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 3: moments when Jalen Brown is sitting. Jalen Brown comes back

378
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: in slams the door. Also, I think the Lakers were

379
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: just pretty bad. Yes, yeah, it was pat Riley's statue

380
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: day and they got blown out by the Celtics after

381
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: he was trash talking the Celtics.

382
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: So I think a huge win for Boston.

383
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: They really cared on that game and they're like, hey,

384
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart, we've played against you so many times, we've

385
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: had you forever, We're gonna leave you open.

386
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: And he just bricked away all night.

387
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: Lakers couldn't make a shot, So smart stuff by the Celtics.

388
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: I think they're a good team and I think they

389
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: have a realistic shot of a Finals appearance this year.

390
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah.

391
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Hoops Substack called Pritchard one of the patron saints of

392
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: the cold ass White Boys and how he had himself

393
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: a game yesterday against two of the other ones I

394
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: guess in Luca and Reeves. But yeah, he tore them

395
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: to shreds. I'm glad you were showing love to him.

396
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: He had more points off the bench than the entire

397
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: Lakers second unit. Pritchered by himself there. Pretty incredible. Yeah,

398
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: they get the win, and yeah, we'll get into the

399
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: Lakers and how they cannot be good teams. They are fraudulent,

400
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.

401
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder with the Celtics if you need a

402
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: shot at the end of a clock, end of the

403
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: game clock or show clock, and it's just it's just

404
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: a pure ass shot, you know, it's not like creating

405
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 2: your own things. You just need somebody to do it.

406
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's somebody other than Pretcherd that you'd

407
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: pick to make that shot. That's that's how he got hot.

408
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: In this game. He clanked his first two shots, but

409
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: then it was an end of his shot clock bomb

410
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: that had at them. And then he is known for

411
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: end of quarter and of half or whatever type of

412
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: shots because he's really good at them. That's how he

413
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 2: got things going. And they're bombs. They're literally bomps.

414
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the best half court shooter in the league

415
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: for sure.

416
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. So when they're real, real desperate, hey you but

417
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: it is just about balancing their the rotations, the roster,

418
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: and it's working perfectly right here right now.

419
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: I'll give the Thunder a winner of the weekend. They

420
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: won two games despite missing several players due to injuries

421
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: Shake Guilt as Alexander abdominable strain, Joe and Williams the

422
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: good one strained right hamstring. Aj Mitchell is out with

423
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: an abdominable strain as well, and then Alex Caruso sprained

424
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: his ankle versus the Nets in the first game of

425
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: the weekend didn't play in the second. Good thing for

426
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: the Thunder they have like six of their guards that

427
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: could maybe start on half the teams in the league.

428
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: On Friday night, Jared McCain scored a season high twenty

429
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: one points as they beat the Nets one oh five

430
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: eighty six. This was by far his best game with

431
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: the Thunder, best game of the season probably for him.

432
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 1: He shot seven to twelve in a reserve role, hit

433
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of threes, just helping sort of carry this

434
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: team a little bit offensively with SGA, especially out of

435
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: the rotation. He is not SGA by any means, but

436
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: guy could score and has fit in perfectly with this

437
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Thunder team. It feels like he's already been there for

438
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Great get he contributed to that one.

439
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: And then on Sunday it was Isaiah Joe hitting a

440
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: bunch of threes, Cason Wallace twenty and ten for him

441
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: as they beat the Redhawk Cavaliers one one, one thirteen.

442
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: A bit of a schedule loss for Cleveland. It was

443
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: one of those crappy third game and four nights, and

444
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: the third game is an afternoon game that sucks. But

445
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: they had their guys and the Thunder didn't, and they

446
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: still got this win because these other guys stepping up.

447
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty one three is for Oklahoma City yesterday, And

448
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: like you're saying, the schedule was against the Calves, but

449
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: I mean, twenty one threes, you're gonna win basically every game.

450
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: If you're OKC. Yeah.

451
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: And then a postgame, everybody was asking the Calves about

452
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 3: the physicality from the Thunder and all they could say

453
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: was they foiled. They filed the entire time. Everybody knows it.

454
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: But if you file the whole time, you get away

455
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: with it. And guess what they got away with it.

456
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

457
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: Sam Merrill had a specifically interesting quote about that they're

458
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: the most physical team in the league. They put a

459
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: ton of pressure on the officials. But it's not just

460
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: that they do have a high amount of elite on

461
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: ball defenders. You combine the way they guard with the

462
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: way they play, it puts a ton of pressure on

463
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: us and on the officials. Again, that was Sam Merril,

464
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: but Tk's right. Everybody from the cass had something to

465
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: say about this, Mitchell and Harden and I was going

466
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: to say Picker Staff, Kenny Atkinson, but I like that

467
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: point from Sam. It's the combo of all of that.

468
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: They're elite defenders, They're physical as hell. They put the

469
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: pressure on the officials like, what are we going to do?

470
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: It?

471
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Can't call everything. And then you combine that with the

472
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: threes training.

473
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not beating them. I don't care who's playing.

474
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm still disappointing for the Caves. They turned over ten

475
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: times in the first quarter. That was really the game.

476
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: They got down because they turned it over, not necessarily

477
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: because they're being fouled, just because they turned it over.

478
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Got back into the game though the lead, Yeah.

479
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: They did. They fought back. It was a little disappointing

480
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: at the end. They went to Evan Mobley, who had

481
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: Isaiah Joe on them in the post under three minutes

482
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: left to try and actually closed that lead to a

483
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: point where they could win and he missed, you know,

484
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: mobilely just not clicking at this point. So there's there's

485
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: definitely some worries there. I know the three games in

486
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: four days is an excuse, but it's still an excuse.

487
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: I feel like the Nuggets made that same sort of

488
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: excuse that they had an early game two days after

489
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: their other game. That's exactly what happened to the Cass. Yeah,

490
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: it was an early game, but it was two days after.

491
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: It was a Thursday Friday back to back and then

492
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: a Sunday afternoon. I know, it's weird, but just don't

493
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: turn over ten times and that's that was the huge

494
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: factor for me. And that's what Kenny Atkinson started his

495
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: press conference with, Yeah, that's where we lost the game.

496
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: But then the quotes are definitely coming from the complaining Oh.

497
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, SGA's injury here too, is I think forced the

498
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: Thunder to adopt somewhat new style of play here right,

499
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: the ball is just moving way more. You remove Sga,

500
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: who can always control the rock and obviously get to

501
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: any spot he wants to. They have just increased their

502
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: passes per game. It's something a lot quite significant. It's

503
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: like two sixty passes be ginning up to like two

504
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: ninety plus here since the SGA injury. So the ball

505
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: is just flying around a lot more. It's playing at

506
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: a faster pace, and maybe that's played in part two.

507
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: The threes really dropping here with some consistency, just with

508
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: it sort of zipping around a little bit more. Guys

509
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: are feel a little bit better, obviously, maybe they know

510
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: they have more opportunity because there's minutes here. They look good.

511
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: Those were impressive wind Yeah, the nets or the nets whatever.

512
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: But that one spike the Cavs with the three and four,

513
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: that was a quality win because it was close into

514
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: the third and fourth quarter. Yeah, yeah, one more round

515
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:32,959
Speaker 1: of winners.

516
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: This might turn into a San Antonio Spurs podcast because

517
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: they are the hottest team in the league.

518
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: Eight straight wins now.

519
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: After beating the Kings on Saturday night, it was eleven

520
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: ozho start for San Antonio. Wemby had three blocks in

521
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 3: the first ninety seconds of this game, and I thought

522
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 3: it was over now. The Kings did keep it competitive

523
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 3: for three quarters. They took the lead eventually, but the

524
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: fourth quarter turned into a dunk contest for San Antonio.

525
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 3: Wenby threw down that crazy.

526
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Sort of fel was kind of like a circle move. Yeah,

527
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: he didn't finish it with the reverse, calling it a windmill,

528
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: but it's not a reverse either. You're right.

529
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: It was just weird looking. Yeah, he had a few dunks.

530
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Dylan Harper had a monster one as well. San Antonio

531
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 3: became the third team in the league to pass the

532
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 3: forty wins before twenty losses test. We talked about the

533
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: game we saw on Thursday against the Suns. Wemby dominated

534
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: against Phoenix and didn't even have that dominant of a game.

535
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: But against the Kings, it was a dominant game for

536
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: Wenby twenty eight points, fifteen rebounds, six assists, a steal,

537
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: and four blocks. He completely shredded the zone with his passing.

538
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: The zone raids were perfect from him. I had not

539
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: stopped watching the move he put on maxim re note.

540
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: I don't even.

541
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 3: Understand exactly what he did. It's like it between the legs,

542
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: smitty is what he did. It's definitely a carry, but

543
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: that's okay. Yeah, we allow that in today's NBA, and

544
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: it looked so pretty. Postgame, he said, I'll be in

545
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 3: the dunk contest one day. Do you want to see

546
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: Wenby in the dunk contest?

547
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: Hell, yes, yeah, absolutely, Now with tall guys in the

548
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: dunk contest.

549
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's a very special one.

550
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. Something tells me he'll put on a little bit

551
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: better show than Jackson and Hayes.

552
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 2: Did.

553
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely want to see him, just to see how

554
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, do you think they would give him

555
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: the wind? No matter what he'd be, it would lean

556
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: heavily towards him. It would be Blake Griffin with the key.

557
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: There would be no way he would lose. Be very difficult.

558
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair. I'm just saying, hey, who cares. It'd

559
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: be better than what we just saw him. And it

560
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: like this guy's gonna save everything. I can't wait till

561
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 1: he fixes tanking, save the All Star Game, all right,

562
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: I guess I'll save the dunk contest. Hold on, he

563
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: said it. He has to do it. We've had other superstars,

564
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: that's all. He will do it and not do it,

565
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: but I believe him. And then, yeah, I guess fixed

566
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: tanking and everything else.

567
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, can we fix the dunk VERSI Well, there's plenty

568
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: of things to fix. There's the dunk that he had

569
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: against the Kings looked awesome because because because of his height,

570
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: Simple as that so yeah, he's gonna outd Jackson Hayes.

571
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: Of course, he's gonna out to essentially every big man

572
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: who's ever been a dunk.

573
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Content cool dunk and not fall over though. Lookut just

574
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: his weird body and I don't know he has to

575
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: do that. He like collapses on himself as he hits

576
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: the ground.

577
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: Other winners are just the fans that were there in

578
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 2: Austin for that second game because we mocked it. We said,

579
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: oh gosh, we're going to be there for the first

580
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 2: game against the Suns. Way better than playing against the Kings.

581
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: At least the King's game was a game. The Suns

582
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 2: was a blowout before half. This King's one went, Yeah,

583
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: yeah it was. It was more fun on both sides.

584
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: I heard that Maxim Reno can beat Wemby and chess,

585
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: though they apparently played chess against each other to this day.

586
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, I mean about Frenchmen.

587
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they think they maybe played like on a

588
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: youth team Jersey the game.

589
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they played when they were young teenagers.

590
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah that I mean, if you didn't watch the highlight,

591
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: just watch the Wemby highlights. That is one of the

592
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: most ridiculous, like just single game highlight packages in some time,

593
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: because you said it not only the donks nice passes,

594
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: some slick passes, the crazy whatever that was Smitty like move.

595
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: There was like a Smitty like move mixed with a

596
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: John Wallace like move that he did way back in

597
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: the day. I always thought crazy, But.

598
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: You can, if you squint, you can say it's a

599
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: hakeem as the broadcaster said, but it's not really. I

600
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: don't ever remember a cheam doing that them.

601
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: It was amazing. And then the blocks too, Yeah, yeah, god, yeah,

602
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: the blocks just started.

603
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: All Sean Elliott said, uh, he had one monster block

604
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: in the first quarter and in those first minute and

605
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: a half, and he said he took out the driver

606
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 3: and smashed that one straight down the fairway. It looked

607
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: like it looked like just a straight spike. This guy's big.

608
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: He's a really big. So they got a great game.

609
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 3: There got a great game, and we had a fun

610
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: time in.

611
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: Austin, but we got the very Dallas. It was loud there. Yeah,

612
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: who do you have for your second winner?

613
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: Give me the Miami Heat because they beat the Hawks

614
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: and the Grizzlies. But more importantly, Tyler Hero came back.

615
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: He had n'im played in a month. The guy had

616
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: only played eleven games going into this weekend and he

617
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 2: played twice. And maybe it's because I hadn't seen him

618
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: in so long, but I was a little biased watching him.

619
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: I thought, whoa, this guy looks like a whole new player,

620
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 2: because he looked super athletic. He was coming off the

621
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: bench for this Miami Heat team. Very interesting there. He

622
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: scored twenty four points in just twenty three minutes. He

623
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: was cooking CJ. McCollums. So they said, all right, here,

624
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: tak a diyce In Daniels taking Nikhil Alexander Walker, and

625
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: he beat him both. He was just doing so well.

626
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: He had some flair out there, he had the floaters,

627
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: had a cut dribble out there. He was just perfect.

628
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: He had great chemistry off the bench too, with Jimahakez,

629
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: a little Khalil where and then Saturday versus Memphis, it

630
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: says shorthanded Grizzlies team got some performances out of Gigi Jackson,

631
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: Jayon Wells, but again off the bench. And this one

632
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: was very interesting because they had no daviy On Mitchell

633
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: in this particular game in the starting lineup, so Tyler

634
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: Hero could be inserted. Instead, they go Kasparis Yakashonas and

635
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: Hero comes off the bench once again, now not as

636
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: great a game. He had fifteen in the first half,

637
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: score US in the second half. Maybe that's a back

638
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: to back of a guy who hasn't played a lot

639
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: this season. But he was setting everybody up. He looked

640
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: great again. The Khalil where also Andrew Wiggins as he

641
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: got to fifteen thousand points for his career.

642
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, he's going to be a twenty thousand point.

643
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: Per score probably. Yeah. And it's inflation. Yeah, it's different. Yeah,

644
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: we're at a point where it's crazy. Actually, twenty k

645
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: does not guarantee Hall of Fame, No, so definitely, it

646
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: used to used to be that, but not anymore so.

647
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: Either way, I wonder if the Tyler Hero coming off

648
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: the bench will continue because this offense just, you know, bad,

649
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: has been bad since January first, had been twenty second

650
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: and Tiro well finished games. There's no doubt about that.

651
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: But it's sort of like, you know, we talked about

652
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: a little bit with Pritchard going to the bench with Boston.

653
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: If Tyler here goes to the bench, you will roll

654
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: everything through Norman Powell. Essentially a lot of the offense

655
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: through Norman Powell, so it's just a little bit more balanced.

656
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 2: We shall see right now, they're just trying to get

657
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: his body going because the guy has not played a

658
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: lot period. He's got to wear a little flak jacket

659
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: under his jersey for his rib injury. So they're just

660
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: trying to work him in. But they look so much

661
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: better with Tyler hero there's no doubt.

662
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Two things. One, I can't believe Andrew Wiggins almost has

663
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: as many career points as Kawhi Leonard. That's just weird

664
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: to think about. It's got him by about a thousand points. Strange. Second,

665
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe you didn't pick the Golden State Warriors

666
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: as a winner of the weekend.

667
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: Because they won.

668
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: Oh sure, that's a great lineback. Horford played well, your boy, Yeah, courage.

669
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: He turned into Steph Curry. Steph Curry was watching like

670
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: po Jemski turn into Steph Curry going nuts. I was

671
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: just surprised. It was a hell of a hell of

672
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: a comeback there, that twenty to two run or whatever

673
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, you only surprised me.

674
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: To Denver was stinky. They didn't look like themselves.

675
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 3: Estly, they looked like the Denver that we've seen for

676
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: the past month with theokch back four and six now,

677
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: I think, right, so they had a big blot win

678
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: over the weekend as well. Yeah, yeah, that was a

679
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: pick game.

680
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: We got a stupid pick them game after the after

681
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: the the Clippers, Yeah, they're going to beat the Blazers.

682
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: They went, they destroyed them and you Kich was awesome

683
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: in that first quarter. He was on a mission. I

684
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: think he had nineteen in the first quarter, eighteen. But yeah,

685
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: then they they fall apart. Hey, maybe it's three games

686
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: and four nights, and also those at an early start,

687
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: super early start. I guess I'm trying to.

688
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: If you go back in the teams records that never win, yeah,

689
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: it's really bad. It's an extremely low record a success win. Right,

690
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: So for an early start, you're saying for the third

691
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: and four games, the third game in four night stays,

692
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: especially with an early game, it's brutal.

693
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's why I didn't pick the Warriors.

694
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: What do you think about Myron Gardner versus Scottie Pippen.

695
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: Was not ready for it, I'll tell you that.

696
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: But Myron Gardner The only time I've heard of him

697
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: is getting scandal.

698
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, of course scandals, that's right.

699
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, he had the Worst of the Week nominee

700
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: when he got into it with Clay Thompson just yacking

701
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: at him. But then he got a guaranteed contract, so

702
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: that's Those are the only times I've heard of him

703
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: at fight talking trash. Guaranteed contract.

704
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he like he sort of trucked Scottie

705
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: Pippen on a shot at Town near the end of

706
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: the game, went on called though there was nothing called,

707
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: and so Scotty Pim's like, well, screw that, I guess

708
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm fighting you. Yeah, I'll just come back.

709
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: And he had it coming in. He was cheap shot

710
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: in him all night. I guess the hero thing is interesting,

711
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: though he's also a six Man of.

712
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: The Year winner.

713
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: I think it's easy to forget at this point, but

714
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: he's going to be starting, Like I think they'll move

715
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 3: him into the starting lineup for Yakachonas as he works

716
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: his way back.

717
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: But Yakachonas is.

718
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: Kind of interesting as a player for the Heat because

719
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: he's a natural ball mover for them, and I don't

720
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: really think they have any of that. Now. They don't

721
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: play a very ball movement heavy system, right, They're all

722
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 3: one on one kickout, one on one kickout, one on

723
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: one kickout. That plays the Hero strengths. But he's also

724
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: a pick and role player, so I don't know. I

725
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 3: assume he'll work his way back into the starting lineup.

726
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: But he, to me is another guy that's like a

727
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: natural six man. Maybe just a little outcast or a

728
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: miscast there for Miami, But that's good for them that

729
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: he is back, because they just need anything else they

730
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: can help on offense.

731
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Yakachonas thing, he's just starting for dave

732
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: On Mitchell. When Davian Mitchell was back, it's davy On

733
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: time that I imagine, I mean over over Yakischuka.

734
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: That was the question we had in or in the summer,

735
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 3: like coming into the season. They got three small guards.

736
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: How can you possibly start all three of them? M hm,

737
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: And that's still going to be a question, I think.

738
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pelly Larson may come out. I mean he's

739
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: been starting as sort of their connector, so that could

740
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 2: be Hero, but I don't know, ally's more of a connector.

741
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Final winner of the weekend is a random one

742
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: because I know we're going to crap on the actual

743
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: team and their performance from the weekend. But from the

744
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: same team that brought you the nase reed beach towel.

745
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: Comes a new evolution in food and drink receptacles here

746
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: as Wolvesan Mikey Torborg tweeted dining with the finest of

747
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: China today and here it is. The Wolves have dropped

748
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: these limited edition popcorn buckets and cups and both items

749
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: feature a playable Papa Shot game. And here's a detailed

750
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: look at the dome part of the souvenir cup. You

751
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: can actually, you know, shoot that little basketball into the

752
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: little hoop there. This is people were popping for this,

753
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: I guess, became a collectible instantly, and it's a limited

754
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: edition type thing. The bucket looks and feels, I guess

755
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: like an actual basketball, so it's not super cheap, which

756
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: is nice. It's got that pebbled texture. But I wanted

757
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: to bring this up because, especially talking to two movie

758
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: guys here in TK and JD, like for the past

759
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: couple of years, movie theaters they've dominated like social media

760
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: with these like high concept you know, popcorn buckets that

761
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: fans treat as basically art and like some of them,

762
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: people like go and get them. Yeah, collector's item, you know.

763
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like Dun's fleshlight looking bucket and the

764
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: ghost far the best. Yeah, and the Ghostbusters had the

765
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: cool ghost trap bucket. I saw for the popcorn bucket.

766
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: So I guess that trend looks like it's headed to

767
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: professional sports here. They should do it.

768
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean I guess I'll I'll be basketballs.

769
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got it.

770
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

771
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: That's the thing I.

772
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: Would worry about. Well, the first one was literally you

773
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: can shoot popcorn.

774
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. You could put the little popcorn on

775
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: the side there and flick. It's for them. They're gonna

776
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: waste a lot of popcorn because you're not gonna score

777
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: all the time. You're gonna miss the bucket half the time.

778
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: That's right. I'd like to launch it in my mouth. Yeah,

779
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 1: how much spring? How much propulsion?

780
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, looks like fun.

781
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: They don't do it cool though.

782
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 2: They have theme nights though sometimes.

783
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean they used to have like Star Wars nights,

784
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: and that's true.

785
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: So you know, there could be some collect collectibles, you know, collaboration, Yeah, yeah,

786
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: for sure.

787
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean This was big online. There was people lining

788
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: up at whatever, you know, concession Stan. You can only

789
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: get these from I'm sure, and people wanted them before

790
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: they were all gone. Who knows what these costs and

791
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: check that. I can't imagine they're cheap, but I mean

792
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: the movie.

793
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: Ones are like fifty bucks too crazy great, they're pricey.

794
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

795
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, you're gonna see a lot more

796
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: of these coming. Yeah, and you're right. Will they be

797
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot of basketball or like this? Yes, but you know,

798
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: I think teams will maybe start going, well, this is

799
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: our mascot, what we could do with that? This is

800
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: Bennyhead right right, right, right right.

801
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 2: So they're saying that ball is pebbled.

802
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently it's quite a high quality. I was doing

803
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: some research into it. Yeah, it's not like like shitty cardboard,

804
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: is my point. You know, it's like, actually, I don't know,

805
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: manufactured decently yeah yeah, yeah, dishwasher safe. I couldn't tell you.

806
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: But could I insert a couple other teeny tiny minor

807
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: winners here? Yea a fan at the Bucks game. His

808
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: name was Mason. It's overcame cancer and Yannis was coming by.

809
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: He high five Yannis Yanni said, whoa man, that's strong.

810
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: I'm out four to six weeks because of that. I

811
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 2: like that moment, and I love that moment for Mason

812
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: Konker Nipple third game with seven made threes this season,

813
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: the high for a rook in NBA history, and just

814
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: wanted to know Cooper Flag sitting out a little bit.

815
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: That may increase a little bit. Maybe the Rookie of

816
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: the year. The competition there can be real at least.

817
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 2: But Cooper Flag is supposed to come back and they're

818
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: still gonna lose, so he can't come back without Kyrie,

819
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: without the other guy they traded Anthony Davis, so a

820
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 2: couple of little winters.

821
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 3: Christ Middleton's huge game over the weekend. Oh Chris, Yeah,

822
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: big Chris game, snap the losing streak.

823
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they got punked by the Raptors. Oh, sorry,

824
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: you're talking Wizards thinking Chris Miltons on the Bucks for

825
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: a second.

826
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: Stuff.

827
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton's on the Mavericks.

828
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: Yes, it is weird to see him in a Mavericks jersey.

829
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: That's yeah good.

830
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: Yes, he's number twenty. I think right, yeah, that's weird too,

831
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: to the point where I don't you want to remember it.

832
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. We'll get to weekend losers.

833
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:26,680

00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: dunk plus sixteen hundred.

853
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: No, he's not dunking on this fast break. The opportunity

854
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: not to get it lucky.

855
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, other.

856
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: Hookshot isn't on here. I guess that falls under other

857
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: but that's a real thing. The Jason Tatum Tab, the

858
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 3: Tatum Tab for all the Boston Bros. Right now, it's

859

864
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we've done winners. Let's do a round of losers.

865
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: Trey gets started. Oh, the Philadelphia seventy six ers. You're

866
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: a loser. This is a premature loser, are you thinking? Ooh?

867
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: I don't know.

868
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: Should they be a loser After the way they played

869
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

870
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: It was a quality win. Did I put it in

871
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: too early? Get it in there Saturday night? I don't know.

872
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: Maybe as good as the Sixers looked on Sunday, I

873
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: thought they looked just as bad on Saturday night against

874
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 3: the Pelicans. A dismal ble, dismal mole, dismal performance from

875
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: the three point line, twelve to forty six shooting and

876
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 3: the offense completely cratered for Philadelphia in the second half

877
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: against New Orleans, just forty six points against the twenty

878
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: seventh ranked defense in the NBA. They kind of got

879
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: ran off the court by Jordan Pool and DeAndre Jordan.

880
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: DeAndre Jordan wearing number six now start of the season

881
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 3: wearing number nine.

882
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: Six is retired league wide, but now he's wearing number six.

883
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't get it.

884
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, our friends over at ykbu Know Ball podcast were

885
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 3: in attendance for six Ors versus Pelicans. They had a

886
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 3: file fire Maury Chance going that you could hear through

887
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 3: the broadcast.

888
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 2: Darryl Mory was there.

889
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was hanging out with a different Philadelphia six

890
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 3: Ers pocket.

891
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, going on.

892
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,479
Speaker 1: Podcasts in New Orleans, well, you know, Philly adjacent whatever

893
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: with you know Ball. Yeah, because the right was there.

894
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: That was pretty funny. I was like, this can't be

895
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: right because I saw, you know Ball was there. Later

896
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: saw the right straight He said, why is everybody there?

897
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: Very very weird.

898
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: I guess they're playing. I guess that's the answer.

899
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were playing, and you know it's Marty Grass. Yeah,

900
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 3: who doesn't love seeing a parade? We all do know

901
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 3: you'll love seeing a parade.

902
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: I am on record not a fan of parades, like

903
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: too loud, No, not too loud. I just I'm just kidding.

904
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: It's just a weird joke. I have to stick with it.

905
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: Like I do not like horses, so you just asked me, right,

906
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: But I mean the horses and parades. I think yes,

907
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: though too many cars. This is a weird Okay, were

908
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: horses in parades? Which is weird for guys to say

909
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't like horses. Interesting. Interesting. Ah, the seventy six ers,

910
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: though they don't look very good right now.

911
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: I don't think though they played great as we'll get

912
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: into against the timber Wolves. But Joel Embiid has played

913
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 3: three games in February. Yeah, he's missed the last five

914
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 3: for Philadelphia. Obviously, Paul George is suspended right now, and

915
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: to me, it's really wearing on Tyrese Maxey, who has

916
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: played a ton of minutes this season and now in

917
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 3: February his highest usage month thus far this season. Makes

918
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: sense with no Embiid, no Paul George. That's the risk

919
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 3: you take when you build your team around Paul George

920
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: and Joel Embiid. Now, the George thing is a little

921
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 3: bit sideways as he was suspended for whatever he took. Embiid, though,

922
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: had an awesome January and feels like it caught up

923
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: to him now that he has had knee soreness, and

924
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: I think they're calling it shin soreness.

925
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: So Shin soreness. Yeah, Nick Nurse.

926
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: Was like, could not explain what's going on. They're like, well,

927
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: the doctors tell Simon, and Simon tells me, and then

928
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: I tell you what's happening. So I think Embiid's knee

929
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 3: is fine, but as Shin hurts now, maybe he'll play Friday.

930
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: So maybe he'll play Friday. But Maxi's usage is going up,

931
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: his efficiency is going down. He's shooting only thirty two

932
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: percent from three in February. You throw in Jared McCain

933
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 3: straight up ballin for the thunder right now, the no

934
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 3: moves that were made at the deadline with the Kelly

935
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 3: Oubre contract, it's just not feeling great in Philadelphia. The

936
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: vibes were awesome. I feel like at the turn of

937
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 3: the year, Edgecomb was playing really well. They had health

938
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: and reliable contributions from George and Embiid. But right now

939
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: just half up, half a game up on Orlando for

940
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: seventh in the Eastern Conference. Orlando, they won five out

941
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: of seven. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has lost five out of seven,

942
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: including four straight before getting off the schneid yesterday against Minnesota.

943
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

944
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: I feel like as soon as I started having a

945
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: little confidence the seventy six ers is definitely when it

946
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: turned for them. But if Embid's not gonna play, they've

947
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 3: become a little bit too reliant on him. He definitely

948
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 3: helps out Maxi. The way he's set in screens this

949
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 3: year has been really important for Tyres to get into

950
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 3: his game, and he just feels a little overtaxed at times.

951
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 3: And it's weird because at the start of the season

952
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 3: I was like, here's how we're playing Maxi edgecomb. We'll

953
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: see what Embiid gives us, and Ebid started giving him

954
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: a ton started playing at an all star level, and

955
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 3: it's like, all right, we got our guys. Now they

956
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: don't have their guys, and Maxie seems a little bit

957
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 3: lost to me, though, like I said, he was awesome

958
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 3: against the timber Wolves yesterday.

959
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: So there is still hope.

960
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: I guess that Embiid comes back, that Maxie regains form.

961
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 3: But the past month has kind of been disgusting for Philadelphia.

962
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would have been fighting over this Philadelphia seventy

963
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: six ers as a selection for a loser of the

964
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: weekend if they didn't get that quality win yesterday with

965
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: Maxigo and Nuts and edgecomb scoring and beating the Minnesota Timberwolves.

966
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: But at least got that. But I hear all your

967
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: points the and the main concern is just like the

968
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: embeat of it all. It's like, man, we just got excited.

969
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: Oh man, we were trying not to look at it.

970
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 1: We're trying not to talk about it too.

971
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 2: Much, try not to talk about it.

972
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: Honestly, It's like it's like a you know, a picture

973
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: was a no hit or going through six or sounds

974
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: like yeah, I just don't say anything, don't bring it up,

975
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: don't chrinx it. And it's like we were almost oddly

976
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: doing that with him, and then he's.

977
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: Out here and maybe maybe he's coming back. But when

978
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: you call it knee management and chin soreness, it just

979
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: seems like there's too many things going on there. It

980
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: is back to the old. Okay, here we are. It's

981
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid not playing again. Now I went to go

982
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: check if our friend Daryl Morey was on the rights

983
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: to Ricky Sanchez podcast, Nope, he wasn't on. He wouldn't.

984
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: I guess he didn't want to tell anything to talk.

985
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: He just didn't want to talk. Maybe maybe nobody wants

986
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: to talk about Joel Embid.

987
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: Think Jake Fisher was on that one nice Yeah, yep,

988
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: Jake Fisher was.

989
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct.

990
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: I saw him sitting in the background of a photo.

991
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: So there was a photo take the right story, Sanchez

992
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: and it was the guys. It was the guys that

993
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: do the show. And then in the background, off to

994
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: the side, I saw Jake. I'm like, that's Jake Fisher's mustache.

995
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: You spot that for a mile away. I was like, Oh,

996
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: he must be on.

997
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 2: Now. They did talk about They did talk about Maury,

998
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 2: so I guess there was some stories there, Morey stories.

999
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: Are they saving joelan bid for the playoffs? I mean,

1000
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: I don't who knows, but it is a good sign.

1001
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: I guess that he could be playing. But maybe they're

1002
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 2: just slowing him down for the postseason. But it is

1003
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: a lot on Maxie and it's a lot on those

1004
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: podcasters out there that have to look at Joel andbian

1005
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: and say, oh gosh, here we go again. And I

1006
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 2: did want to say one thing about Fred van Vliet

1007
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 2: because I'm checking who's on every single podcast out there.

1008
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: Rich Paul was the latest guess on Fred van Vliet

1009
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: six days ago, so he's still podding.

1010
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: So just a once a week type pod looks like it.

1011
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: Looks like once a week, yes, but that's okay.

1012
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: As long did he staying consistent with us once a week?

1013
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 2: About once a week. See, the schedule wasn't a hard schedule.

1014
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: We had the twenty third of January twenty seventh, whoa,

1015
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 2: this guy's putting a lot. Then the fifth of February,

1016
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 2: and then seventeenth, so you know, all star break, all

1017
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: start break. That's an excuse, man, he could have had

1018
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 2: one on February twelfth. Anyway. Rich Paul talks about building

1019
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: for nothing in podcasting.

1020
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, what's what's Rich Paul's podcast called? I Know

1021
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: with Max?

1022
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1023
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really tough to remember. What I did. Look

1024
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: up friends Friends is called unguarded. Oh wow, I wasn't

1025
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: even close with the bet on yourself.

1026
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1027
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 3: Well that's a good name though too. Here's a segway

1028
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 3: for you. All players do podcasts these days. Remember when

1029
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: they made rap songs? Yes, remember when NBA players wanted

1030
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 3: to be rappers instead of just podcasters. Well, here's something

1031
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 3: I do like about the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Kelly

1032
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 3: Oubrey released a song called Fast and Furious. Really, there's

1033
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: a lyric in it that goes, I think I'm Vin

1034
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 3: Diesel when I'm trying to get asks. Rest in peace,

1035
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: Paul Walker, I think you are my dad?

1036
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god? What literal? Literal Kelly lyrics? The song

1037
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: isn't bad. I'm not gonna well, I mean, come on,

1038
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: you're not gonna put it on. I'm not gonna listen

1039
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 1: to it a second time.

1040
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 3: But I did listen to it the first time because

1041
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 3: I saw an infographic telling me about that lyric.

1042
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: I was like, there's no way.

1043
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: I listened through and he said it brest in peace,

1044
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 3: Paul Walker, I think you are my dad? Uh?

1045
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman and Rich Paul's podcast Game.

1046
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: Over, Okay, Yes, that's good.

1047
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: Game over with those guys. Jesus, what do you have

1048
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: for a loser?

1049
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's those timber Wolves. Because that was very disappointing,

1050
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 2: super disappointed. They fell flat, just flat. They could have

1051
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,919
Speaker 2: vaulted to third in the Western Conference with a win,

1052
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 2: and instead that first quarter. Listen, okay, they go into

1053
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 2: the game. We don't have Rudy Gobert. He's suspended because

1054
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: of a flagrant foul. That's how many you got to

1055
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: be suspended, Rudy Gobert. They also had no nasried so

1056
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: for the first time in his young career and his

1057
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 2: rookie season, Joann Baron jay is starting at center. They

1058
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 2: don't have Joel e Beiad on the other side. But

1059
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 2: really this was just a falling apart. They were relying

1060
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 2: a lot on Anthony Edwards in this game. End of

1061
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 2: the first quarter. Anthony Edwards in his second run to

1062
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: start to fall apart a little bit. The guy had

1063
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: the balls just slipping out of his hands several times here.

1064
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: He had seven turnovers in this game. That's when it started.

1065
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 2: And the Wolves just can't put teams away. That really

1066
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with you On Baron Jay. I

1067
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: just thought that this team was allowing way too many

1068
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 2: offensive rebounds. The Sixers had thirty one percent of their

1069
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: missus rebounded, and that's really what it comes down to.

1070
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 2: And the sloppyat turnovers. You know, Minnesota had twenty turnovers.

1071
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 2: Philly had twenty one points off those turnovers. So you

1072
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: can look at Max MAXI, you know, got to go

1073
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: in thirty nine points, you look great. Edgecumbe six to

1074
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: three is the most of his rookie season in a game.

1075
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: But really, they just fell apart, and so you gotta fight.

1076
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: You gotta fight, and we know that this team, even

1077
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: if there's no Joel Embiide on the other side, we

1078
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: know we know that this team will do that against

1079
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: some five hundred teams. I think they were something like

1080
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: eight and eight in their last sixteen and that's where

1081
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: they are. That's the Timberwolves for you. Yeah, yeah, that's

1082
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: where they are. Yeah.

1083
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert was serving that one game suspension for accumulating

1084
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: too many flagrant fouls. That's where he's at and that's

1085
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: something to watch going forward. I think he suspended two

1086
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: games for each additional flagrant foul this season, so it's

1087
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: not like it's done and resets to zero.

1088
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they miss I.

1089
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: Mean, they missed Rudy Gobert. They just they're not good

1090
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 1: defensively without them at all.

1091
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It is.

1092
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 3: Two files in the first four minutes, and he was

1093
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: their only big man that was available at all. And

1094
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 3: Philadelphia kind of understood the assignment. They're like, there's no

1095
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 3: big in there, let's go make a ton of laps.

1096
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 3: And part of it, I thought was Philadelphia like making

1097
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 3: a concerted effort to get to the rim, but also

1098
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: just not much defensive resistance. I thought from Minnesota, if

1099
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 3: Philadelphia moved the ball for two or three passes, they

1100
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: were going to get a lamp pretty easily, or a

1101
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: kickout for an open three Edgecumb shot it well, Maxi

1102
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: shot it well. Grimes had an awesome game in this one.

1103
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 3: But I think afterwards the Timberwolves were saying, we played

1104
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 3: like we were entitled, and they did, and that happens

1105
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: a lot with this team, and it comes from the top,

1106
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 3: like Edwards gets taken out of these games too easy.

1107
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: They were throwing some doubles at him. He was brutal,

1108
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 3: three assists to seven turnovers. He's taken a step back,

1109
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 3: I think as a playmaker this year, as he's kind

1110
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 3: of stepped forward even more as a scorer. But they

1111
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: need somebody to play make for this team. Randall is

1112
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 3: their most natural playmaker, and that's a real dist roll

1113
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 3: proposition I think for them.

1114
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: So Minnesota to me is just so so inconsistent effort

1115
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: wise and execution wise almost every single game.

1116
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, can't deny it. Yeah, the fighting for the boards.

1117
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 2: I think even if they don't have both Colbert and Nasried,

1118
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 2: Julius Randall and Jada McDaniels could have done a better

1119
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 2: job guarding. And yes, you and bear je he goes

1120
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 2: to the bench three fouls immediately literally doesn't start the

1121
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 2: second half. Yeah, and they said, they said, well, we're

1122
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 2: going smaller because we don't trust you Yoann Baron Jay,

1123
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 2: you're too young and Baron Jay. So that's yeah, that's

1124
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: their excuse. But still we've seen this from the Wolves before.

1125
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: A few other potential losers of the NBA Weekend got

1126
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: to show some love to the Kings, who extended their

1127
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: franchise record losing streak to sixteen straight games. Now and

1128
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hunter became the third King starter to undergo season

1129
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: ending surgery. He's heeting surgery done on his eye. So

1130
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 1: that's three starters gone for the rest of it, and

1131
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, they just can't win it all. Here, I'm

1132
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: wondering is this the last we're gonna see of Doug

1133
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Christy as a head coach for the King's not like

1134
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: it's all his fault, but I mean, he was supposed

1135
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: to be like sort of this hard nosed, sort of

1136
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: defensive minded coach, and they've been the worst defense in

1137
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: the league over the last couple of weeks. They're near

1138
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: the bottom for the entire season. I think they're like

1139
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty eight. So I don't know. Does

1140
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: he get another chance when they like flush this season

1141
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: down the toilet. I don't know. I wouldn't. I wouldn't

1142
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: bet on it. Personally, I haven't, you know, been impressed

1143
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: by any means. It's like, there are so many bad

1144
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: teams in this league. To have a sixteen game losing streak,

1145
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild. Yes, Like that's where I'm at, bad

1146
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: no matter who's playing. I think he had a five

1147
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: hundred record last season after taking over. I think you're

1148
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: right during the middle of the season, but it was

1149
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: a new a new front office came in, right, Scott Perry.

1150
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: If you've had that little tiny a success, like, I

1151
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: think it's worth giving him a year. But for this

1152
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: to be the year. There's no way they can bring

1153
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: I would think so, I wouldn't.

1154
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 3: I wouldn't, but especially since they got to bring back

1155
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: all the players unfortunately, well, yeah.

1156
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can. You can say, Okay, we're going to

1157
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 2: be a bad team defensively, even if we got this

1158
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 2: hard nosed guy. It's Zach Lavine, it's DeMar Derozen, it's

1159
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: Demot Simonis when he's healthy, and Russell Westbrook gets starting,

1160
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: which probably shouldn't happened in the first place. But offensively,

1161
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 2: they can't be one of the worst teams in the league. No,

1162
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be.

1163
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad. Next team, Ronald, it is good.

1164
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 1: That's the one good. He looks like the backboard between

1165
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: him and Clifford. Yes, Clifford's old too, right, Clifford has

1166
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: not impressed all that much here given some opportunity. Uh,

1167
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: the Suns have to be considered as a loser of

1168
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: the weekend, even though they had a wild double overtime

1169
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: game winner from Jalen Green in the corner, falling down

1170
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: splash that three, despite having like a garbage game up

1171
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: into that point. He couldn't shoot the ball at all,

1172
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: but he had a big shot there cool Camradge footage

1173
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: of people in the corner there in Phoenix.

1174
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: That was cool.

1175
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: But I say they're a loser because for a couple

1176
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, they lost Dylan Brooks to a broken

1177
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: left hand.

1178
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:15,479
Speaker 2: That bad.

1179
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 1: That guy is so important to this team. He's gone.

1180
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: Devin Booker's out for at least one week of action.

1181
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, we were there in Austin when we saw

1182
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: him obviously play in that game against the Spurs for

1183
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: a little bit, but then something was happening. We were like,

1184
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: where is he? Why is he not on the bench.

1185
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: He played limited minutes because he got banged up, so

1186
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: he's out. And then Phoenix hosted the Blazers on Sunday night.

1187
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, they are feeling pretty good after that miraculous

1188
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: double overtime victory, but they shot thirty seven percent from

1189
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: the field and scored seventy seven points. Oh yeah, that's love.

1190
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: The Blazers went from from giving up one hundred and

1191
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: fifty seven points again to the Nuggets to then only

1192
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: giving up seventy seven points. Kevin Pelton's like, that has

1193
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: to be the biggest swing in NBA history between two games.

1194
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: That's an eight point swain. That is unbelievable. But yeah,

1195
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: the sun's here. That's just this is just like, these

1196
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: injuries suck here. And the only good news for them,

1197
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: I guess is the four teams ahead of them in

1198
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: the standings they did all lose the Nuggets, the Rockets,

1199
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers, and the Wolves. So you know, he didn't

1200
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: really lose a ton of ground there losing that one

1201
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: or getting shellacked here by the Blazers. But I hate

1202
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: the Dylan Brooks of it all.

1203
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but both are key guys and as you said,

1204
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 2: Den Booker revaluedd in a week. Dylan Brooks, it's not

1205
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: clear how long's it going to be out. It's a

1206
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 2: broken hand, it's his left hand. I mean, you hear

1207
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: that and you think, okay, it's going to be a

1208
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 2: long time. It will be several games. But they're sort

1209
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 2: of just they're still contemplating what they're going to do

1210
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 2: with that hand. Yeah, so I think they could be

1211
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: they could be back. I don't know when he's come back, but.

1212
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: Look, we've seen this team though up close and personal,

1213
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: when they are missing let's say Brooks and then of

1214
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 1: course Booker, and it is it's brutal. It's brutal. It's

1215
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: so bad. You know, your boy Gillespie can only do

1216
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: so much. Jallen Green is he's going fire away.

1217
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 3: I think he went six for twenty six. He did,

1218
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 3: but he was five for twenty five before that jumper

1219
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 3: to win it. He was making the right pass before

1220
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 3: there too go.

1221
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 2: Here you go, Grayson, Here you go, Grayson. Grayson was

1222
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: canning them.

1223
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just it's going to struggle offensively.

1224
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1225
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: And then finally the Lakers to go back to them.

1226
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: They cannot be good teams at all, and they got

1227
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: crushed by the Celtics and this is their big three

1228
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: are playing here and it was embarrassing, one eleven eighty nine.

1229
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,959
Speaker 1: And they continue to just have this brutal record against

1230
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: the good teams in the league, and they have an

1231
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: un negative net rating despite having a positive win record,

1232
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: which is again wild. You know, it's so funny you

1233
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: compare them to like the Celtics if you want to,

1234
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: in a weird way, like, oh, these are like down

1235
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: years for us, I guess so to speak, right, that's

1236
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: how they're pitching it. But the Celtics are playing above

1237
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: their heads, like obviously, maybe Tatum comes back, they could

1238
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: win a title or at least compete, and the Lakers

1239
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: keep sort of saying, oh, this is sort of a

1240
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: down here to hear because we've had the injuries and

1241
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: we're moving forward with Luca after getting acquiring him, and

1242
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: it's like, there's no there's a little effort. It's a

1243
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: terribly constructed team with your star guys too, there's not

1244
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: those dogs really to put around them.

1245
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 3: It's actually a pretty surprising how shallow the Lakers are,

1246
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: I think, considering they have three stars at the top

1247
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 3: of the roster and coming into the season, it was

1248
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 3: like everybody knew what they knew needed to do to

1249
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 3: build around the team. They need a rim runner, they

1250
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 3: need defense, they need three point shooting, and they don't

1251
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 3: have any of those three things, which are what you

1252
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: need to build around a Luca team. But it is

1253
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 3: a transition year for them. They're like Cea Lebron, we

1254
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 3: got to play out this last year. We'll put up

1255
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 3: a pat Riley statue, We'll do all the other fun

1256
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 3: stuff to make the team still famous, but really realient

1257
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 3: the team going forward and use their picks and cap

1258
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: space and stuff coming this next season. But yeah, I

1259
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 3: think still a disappointing season.

1260
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 2: For the Lakers. Yeah, especially defensively. I mean they're close

1261
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 2: to top ten offense, kind of getting it done with all

1262
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: these working parts around those guys who are also injured.

1263
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: There's that part, but just the defensively, trying to center

1264
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 2: your defense around DeAndre and they ain't working. Nothing's working

1265
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: really as much as JJ Redick is pushing them. I

1266
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 2: want to throw in a couple other quick losers. Zachary

1267
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 2: Resache has moved to the bench. That's a first since

1268
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: he came into the league at the beginning of his career.

1269
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: Those first two games of his career in twenty four

1270
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: as a number one pick were his only games on

1271
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 2: the bench, and he gets put in the starting lineup

1272
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: and he just has not been what Quinn Snyder expects,

1273
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 2: which is understandable. He hasn't been playing hard enough, he

1274
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 2: hasn't been bored and hard enough, and he just hasn't excelled.

1275
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: So that's something to watch there. In Atlanta, also another

1276
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 2: weird one, the Washington Wizards played the Charlotte Hornets. This

1277
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 2: Wizard's broadcast was surprising to me. At the end of

1278
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: the game. How you do a sponsored segment a drive

1279
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 2: of the game brought to you by Honda. Their drive

1280
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: of the game was Christian and Scooby, but their halftime

1281
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 2: show it was specifically Scooby and like a really quick

1282
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: shot of Scooby the dog running with a ball in

1283
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: his mouth and Dunkey that was his drive of the game.

1284
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: Drive of the game. Yeah. Wow, they couldn't pick one drive.

1285
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't have one they want to drive now.

1286
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: I didn't go back and watch the tape, but there's

1287
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 2: got to be a better one than the Scoob. It's

1288
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 2: pretty funny. Yeah, they're just like, screwt. We're putting the

1289
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Scooby on here. We're losing to the Hornets.

1290
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Actually, good for Scoop. He's deserving, all right.

1291
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Well by, well by of the night sponsored by the

1292
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: Little Ripper. A cafe in l A Not something I

1293
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: just did in my seat here. It's a mom and

1294
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: pop neighborhood cafe with a slice of Australia. Does coffee,

Speaker 1: homemade treats, cocktails, breakfast, dinner, This does it all. And

1296
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 1: they're even sending no dunks, some beans, absolutely, some coffee beans.

1297
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 2: We got a lighter roast coming, we got medium, darker

1298
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: roasts coming.

1299
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: All right, shout out to a little ripper. Go check

1300
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: out that cafe in La.

1301
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 2: It's got a hometown field. That's what I've heard. Pie.

1302
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: I was wondering that, right, Yeah, yeah, you would think so,

1303
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: you'd think Australian retreat.

1304
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1305
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,919
Speaker 1: Well, the woe boy goes to Jokic, who had thirty

1306
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: five points, twenty rebounds and twelve assists. But it wasn't

1307
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: enough as a nuggets fell out of the Warriors seventeen.

1308
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: He shot eleven of twenty one from the field, three

1309
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: or four from deep, ten of eleven at the line.

1310
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: He also had three steals and two blocks in thirty

1311
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: six minutes.

1312
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 3: But it's a.

1313
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Pretty good woe boy there. It's something going around like

1314
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 1: in those type of stats, those benchmarks, I don't know,

1315
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: it's only happened like ten times in the past whatever,

1316
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years, maybe even longer, and he has

1317
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 1: like six of them of the ten and I believe it. Yeah,

1318
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: it's a big beef there. That's a lot of roast beef.

1319
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: You think Little Ripper sells roast beef? I think no.

1320
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: I say that would be a weird inclusion. Looks really big,

1321
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 2: so we can have big beef. He looks large in

1322
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: that photo. It looks wide.

1323
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: Yea, I guess, uh pick them tonight. Only three games

1324
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: on tonight and there's really only one good game test,

1325
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: so it was very easy to pick.

1326
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: What it was.

1327
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 2: We got five nights remaining here to see who's going

1328
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 2: to do something stupid, because that's how we do things,

1329
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 2: and our pick the payoff. It's a fairly close race

1330
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: and it was an easy pick. Yeah, the Spurs are

1331
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 2: visiting the Detroit Pistons.

1332
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited for this.

1333
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 2: Pistons favored by one and half. But it's basically a

1334
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 2: pick them. Skeets and I are on the Piston Spurs.

1335
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to Trey Trey. You like the Spurs in

1336
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 2: this one? They're rolling. Yeah, it's a coin flip.

1337
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 1: It's to see Jael Ender back though, and he had

1338
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: a monster game. It was the weekend, so obviously he'll

1339
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: be in the line up here and try and help

1340
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: and contain Wemby. But yeah, let's hope this is an

1341
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 1: entertaining game and a close one because again, not a

1342
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: lot of games on tonight, but these are two of

1343
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: the NBA's best stories here facing off in prime time

1344
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Finals preview.

1345
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna feel like two thousand three unlikely, but man, yeah,

1346
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 2: why not?

1347
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: As we talked about our Friday.

1348
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 3: Why not?

1349
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's our pick up. Tessina with Detroit. Trey

1358
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: is that right?

1359
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 3: I think so?

01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a human I knew that had an uera ring.

1363
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1364
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: He wrote the book on the Bubble, didn't you.

1365
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: I have to book.

1366
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,919
Speaker 1: It was a great book book on the Bubble. Yeah,

01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: like three other things he said the lego for sure.

1371
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Yep.

1372
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

1373
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: He is a guy that knows and does all the

1374
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: national parks. When I'm going to one, I always check

1375
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 1: in with him, and he uh collects magnets at an

1376
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: unbelievable piece, Like I'm a one magnet for one place

1377
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: type of guy. Got one in Austin. This guy, he

1378
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,520
