1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: The Utah Jazz are on top of the NBA. The

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers find a way to slow the Aaron Fox.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Steph Curry puts the Spurs on skates get out to Zamboni.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: The MAVs have stopped playing the national anthem, and Jimmy

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Butler stopped playing basketball. What is this soccer with all

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the acting out there? Hey, my name's Tasmelis and this

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: is what you need to know in the NBA. For Wednesday,

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: February tenth, Daron Fox of the Sacramento Kings. He's taken

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: the league by storm. He was Player of the Week

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: last week, playing out of his head, and now he'll

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: win the award of guy that teams and coaches focus on.

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: Take the Sixers, for instance. They put Matisse stable on

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: him in the fourth to slow him down on a

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: very hot night. The Kings led after three, but Fox

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: struggled in the fourth, shooting only three of thirteen. He

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: was going for it. It was a great night over all,

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: thirty four points, tennisis and rebounds. He will learn to

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: be the number one guy. The loss snap Sacramento's four

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: game win streak Ben Simmons was a huge difference in

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: this game defensively along with Mattis Steibel, and offensively too.

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: Let's give him a little love there. What a stat

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: line my fantasy team, Thanks you, Ben Jolla momb bom.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid had twenty five points, seventeen boards and six assists.

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: How low, and fourteen free throws. People don't complain about

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: him getting to the line yet. The Golden State Warriors

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: played the Spurs on back to back nights. This time

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: the Warriors won. The difference was de Jontay Murray coming

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: back to earth. He had a twenty seven point night

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: the night before, down to eight. The following night, Steph

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Curry did the exact same thing, the exact same point total,

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: thirty two points. Although it was nastier. I shouldn't say

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: it was exactly the same. It was far dirtier. He

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: did the Spurs oh so dirty, losing guys all over

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the place. Spurs were playing in their old Fiesta jerseys.

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they went back in time, didn't realize that guys

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: shoot threes. Now. Curry has hit four threes or threes,

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: excuse me, in twelve straight games. That ties the second

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: longest streak in NBA history. How consistent is that MVP candidate.

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: Curry is up to second in the NBA in scoring

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: at about thirty points per game. He scored seven hundred

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: and forty one points this season. Sorry to barrage you

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: with the stats, but Michael Jordan is the only guy

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: who scored more through his team's first twenty five games

44
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: at age thirty two or older in NBA history. Old

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: guy doing it. Yeah, Steph is old. He's almost thirty three.

46
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: That's Thatt via ESPN. And I cannot help but put

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: a Michael Jordan's stat in what you need to know.

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: When I see it, it's like a tick. I cannot

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: help it. The Knicks and Heat played their second half

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: of a double header. It was an ugly game. It

51
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: was nasty, filled with terrible acting performances by Jimmy Butler. Especially.

52
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: He was withering on the floor pretending to be hit

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: in the eye. He said postgame he learned his acting

54
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: from his buddy Mark Wahlberg. Derreck Rose made his debut

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: for the New York Knicks. Coach Tom Thibodeau was scrupulous

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: with Rose's minutes. He played every one of those minutes

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: with rookie Emmanuel quickly, so not to worry Knicks fans

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: to this point, Rose saying doing all the right things

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: about bringing the young guys along, and he looks spry.

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: He looked happy to be there, ready to be a vet.

61
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Fourteen points off the bench. Although the Knicks lost as RJ.

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Barrett couldn't tie it at the buzzer. Ugh, he wants

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that one back. I'm sure the Utah Jazz continue to shoot, shoot, shoot.

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: They're shooting threes at a towrd pace this season and

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: it keeps leading to wins, the most wins in the NBA.

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: In fact, they shot forty eight threes against Boston on

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: eighty four field goal attempts. That's a ridiculous rate. My question,

68
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: can they keep up the volume and can they keep

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: making them? And then if your best player has bought in,

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: like Donovan Mitchell has, well, that's the first step. They

71
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: are playing differently this season under Quinn Snyder and Donovan

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell has bought in thirty six points for him against

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Boston on thirteen three ball attempts, and this was without

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Mike Conley. For the Utah jess Jalen Brown had thirty

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: three in the loss. The Celtics have dropped to twelve

76
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: and eleven. They're supposed to be a finals contender this season,

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: but I think there are some excuses built in that

78
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: makes sense. They've had a rocky season. Jason Tatum missed

79
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: a couple weeks due to COVID protocol. They're missing their

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: starting backcourt. Okay, Kemba Walker is there playing, but he

81
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: doesn't look like Kemba at all after coming back from

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: that knee injury. And Marcus Smart isn't playing right now.

83
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Their heart and soul. Speaking of their heart and soul,

84
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant wasn't playing for the Brooklyn Nets. Is either

85
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: art and soul? I don't know, but they look despicable

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Pistons. Their big three continue to struggle.

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: I guess is a big two right now. They've lost

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: three in a row. They let the Pistons walk all

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: over them. The Piston shot fifty six percent wide open

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: shot after wide open shot. The Nets are lousy versus

91
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: bad teams. They're seven and eleven against team with the

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: record below five hundred. They don't get up for those games.

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I think that Kevin Durant is their vocal leader. It's

94
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: kind of strange to say that Kad would be their

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: vocal leader. Kind of a quiet guy, but he's the

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: one trying to get people amped, and maybe that's an

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: issue that they don't have enough of that. Their three

98
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: straight losses are without Kevin Durant. Essentially, he left that

99
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: first game because of COVID protocol. He was angry. He

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: threw a water bottle. Kyrie had twenty seven in this game,

101
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: but he struggled to shoot the three. He said his

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: right index fingerspray quote sucks after the game, and it

103
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: looked that way with the way he was shooting the three.

104
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant continues his most improved player campaign with thirty

105
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: two points for the Pistons in a win. The Pelicans

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: have come around in a convincing win over the Rockets.

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: Everybody looking good. Yes, Ian Williamson played well. Yeah, Brandon

108
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Ingram had an a fishing night. Yeah. Lonzo Ball hit

109
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: three more threes. This is the best Lonzo Ball I've

110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: ever seen in the NBA. I enjoy watching them, but

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: it was the best. Chipping in for the Pels. Josh

112
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Hart a six' five guard, forward twenty, points seventeen, Rebounds

113
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: oh my goodness in forty minutes of. Play you, know

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Stan Van gundy is gonna keep. Playing josh Hart a

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Ton Kyra, lewis the nineteen year old kid From, alabama

116
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: had ten off the, bench and the player formerly known

117
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: As willie Hernand Goman's Where's Willy, Oh He's guillermo now

118
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: fourteen and ten off the bench for. Them pelicans have

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: won four in a. Row it's a muddled playoff picture

120
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: in The. West The rocks are still a part of

121
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: that playoff, picture but they desperately missed their best player

122
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: in my, Opinion Christian. Wood no disrespect To John wall

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Or Victor, oladipo who sat out the second game of

126
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800

Speaker 1: Oscar robertson into twelfth place on the NBA's all time scoring.

128
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: List congratulations To Carmelo. Anthony The magic just can't win these.

Speaker 1: Days they're three to fourteen in their last seventeen. Games

130
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: The Dallas mavericks have stopped playing the national anthem before.

131
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Games the Athletics Tim cato reported that Owner Mark cuban

132
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,240

133
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: no comment from the. Organization The mavericks are believed to

134
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: be the first Professional North american sports team to cease

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,120
