Speaker 6: Then in the final, yeah, you could have a trout

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 6: versus Otani. Otani's making it seem like he's not gonna pitch,

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 6: but he's gotta pinch. The teammates are gonna face off.

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 6: Otani was pumped to play in a game yesterday that mattered.

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 4: He was great.

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,919

00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,480

00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 6: couple of mugs here for the factor. I brought it

Speaker 6: from home, So yeah, it might taste like my car.

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: Tastes like a little soapy.

64
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: From being honest, Jay, Jenny was so smart though. I said,

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 6: I got a couple mugs for the table. He goes,

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 6: all right, clearing out your mugs. Exactly, sir, exactly, all right.

67
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: Let's get into the action last night, six games on

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: in total. We're gonna touch on all of them, some

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: key takeaways from each one. Let's start with Trey Kirby's

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: Bulls snapping the seventy six ers win streak in double overtime.

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: Call it an upset. We watched a lot of it

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: on playback had a blast nights everybody that joined us.

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Oh your big takeaways, Well, the key takeaway is that.

74
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: The Bulls are back, perhaps more back than ever before.

75
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 5: Skeets heading into last night, Joelle Embiid twelve and oh

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: against Chicago, but the Bulls finally put the l in. Joel,

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 5: we watched a lot of this one and it was

78
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: ugly throughout. This was a double overtime game. Also, somehow

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 5: the lowest scoring game of the evening. It ended up

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 5: being one oh nine to one oh five, and they

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: played fifty eight minutes. Crazy. The Bulls shot forty one percent,

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: went seven for thirty three from three, and they won

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: because Philadelphia had twenty one turnovers turned into twenty four

84
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: points for Chicago. And also the Bulls shot a ton

85
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: of free throws. They won twenty four of twenty nine

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: at the line. Philadelphia went nineteen of twenty two, But

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 5: it was really just Embiid getting to the line quite often.

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: He finished with thirty seven points, sixteen rebounds, fifteen of

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: seventeen at the free throw line. This was his tenth

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: straight game with thirty or more points, somehow, the first

91
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: guy to do it since DeMar Derozen last year when

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 5: he was on his Wilt Chamberlain streak. However, Embiid also

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: had five turnovers and filed out in the second overtime,

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: and that's really when the Bulls won the game. Those

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 5: last three and a half minutes. Basically it was Bulls

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: time and gotta give some credit to Nikola Vucevich put

97
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 5: on the lock down lotion and it was all good

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 5: for Chicago. DeRozan, Levigne, Vooch all went for twenty or

99
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: more points. They all had three or more steals. DeRozan

100
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 5: had some big baskets during the stretch run in overtime

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 5: and in regulation and in second overtime, also had some

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: bad misses, some weird turnovers. Zach Levine was dropping dimes

103
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: all night, except for when he just got the ball

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: ripped from him from behind after a huge defensive play

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 5: and vouch I thought was really aggressive. The two Pats

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 5: did their job. They made things really hard on James

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: Harden and Tyrese Maxie in the game, ball goes to

108
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 5: Derek Jones Junior ten points, eight of them came in

109
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter, had the game clinching block and rebound

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 5: in second overtime as well. The Bulls are now a

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 5: half game back of the nine seed, just the game

112
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 5: back of the eighth. They're closer to eighth than they

113
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 5: are to eleventh. Who would have thought eight and four

114
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: with playing Pat coming to Chicago?

115
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: So really good Bulls night when you pair it with

116
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: a Piecers loss too, which we'll obviously allude to a

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: little touch on a little bit later. What were your

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: takeaway from this one though? The Bulls big win.

119
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're playing really what five and one in their

120
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 6: last six Who would have friggin thunk it that they

121
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 6: put it together? Defensively, They've always been there this season,

122
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 6: which is the surprising part. And then Vouch putting on

123
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: that lotion such a rare occurrence in the NBA. I

124
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 6: don't think I've ever seen it before. You go up

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 6: to the scorers table usually getting some sort of chuck

126
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 6: something to dry your hands rather than something which could

127
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 6: encourage moisture going into the overtime period. But he went

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 6: out and be pretty hard. Obviously, the Sixers have been

129
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 6: playing really well. They had one eight coming in eighth

130
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: straight coming into this game. I think you have to

131
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 6: put this one on James Harden for not helping embiid

132
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 6: as much I know the Sixer staff, as we watched

133
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 6: on playback, was kind of on Tyrese Maxey at the

134
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 6: end of regulation to do more to take it upon himself.

135
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 6: He's been great. He has been reinserted into the starting lineup.

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 6: I don't know if that was Doc rivers plan from

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 6: the get go to go from Maxi and the starting

138
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 6: lineup to the bench, which I thought was working really well.

139
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: He led the bench.

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 6: They had these two different little factions and Maxi would

141
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 6: come in speed the game up when Harden likes to

142
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 6: slow the game down and have the ball in his hands,

143
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 6: so it kind of made sense. But then Maxi has

144
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 6: been reinserted into the starting lineup and has been awesome.

145
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 6: And I think Harden took a game off in this one.

146
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: I con't.

147
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 6: I couldn't put this game on Maxi. I think James

148
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: just didn't feel like being awesome in this particular game.

149
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: He had a brutal game.

150
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had some opportunities to seal it, but the Bulls, ye,

151
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 6: they got it done with enough dudes.

152
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: James Harden had five points last night, two of fourteen,

153
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: shooting zero for six from three five turnovers as well.

154
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean he had a lot of assists, but he

155
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: was the only Sixer starter that was a negative out

156
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: there minus eleven on the night. Everyone else that started

157
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: for the Sixers were wasn't positive, of course, led by

158
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: embating Maxi there eight and nine. But yeah, weird Harden

159
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: game and had chances even like you said at the

160
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: end too, despite a bad night, they almost pulled it off.

161
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Had a couple looks, but he just had a rough

162
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: rue weird.

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Patrick Beverley took him out of the game with physicality.

164
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: Harden wasn't looking to score at all. Up getting out

165
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: scored by Beverly six to five. That shouldn't happen in

166
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: a game, But when it came down to it, after

167
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: Embiid finally filed out, it was imperative that Harden start

168
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: looking for his offense and he just couldn't get into

169
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 5: his offense because he'd taken the previous four and a

170
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: half quarters off. Basically, he was just happy to get

171
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 5: rid of the ball anytime he was feeling the pressure.

172
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: That's how he racked up the assist numbers. But five

173
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 5: turnovers five points that ain't going.

174
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 6: To cut it a lovely Beverly game. As many personal

175
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 6: fouls as points. It made sense watching Pat and the

176
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 6: other pat do it. They all contributed. Get Derek Jones

177
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 6: Junior really turned this game around. Trey Manchin the third

178
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 6: and the fourth and then the block. He was a

179
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: humongous off the bench plus thirteen.

180
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: And that's what's been nice for the Bulls over this

181
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: like sort of you know, winning streak or winning a

182
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: lot of these games. Recently. It's like Kobe White has

183
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: had a couple like big games that have helped him

184
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: get across the line in a victory. And then it

185
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: was Derek White there last night. Derek Jones excused me

186
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: doing it. So they are getting some contributions from some

187
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: of the other guys to go with Derozant and Levine

188
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: and Vucci. Baby, they're putting up some good numbers. So

189
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: good win from the Bulls snapping the Sixers win streak.

190
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, because of that, Philly drops to the

191
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: third seed because they were tied with the Celtics going

192
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: into last night. Celtics didn't play, but they are now

193
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: the number two seed. And we will look at the

194
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: Western Conference number two seed changing as well, and we'll

195
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: go there right now. Because the Grizzlies rallied for a

196
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: big victory over the Dallas Mavericks tasks there's a lot

197
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: of sort of fallout from this one, So I don't

198
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: know where you want.

199
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 6: To start fun stuff. Let's start with the superstar being

200
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 6: back on his bench, not playing. But John Morant was

201
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 6: back in the building after his eight game suspension there

202
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 6: with his teammates, and his teammate Dylan Brooks said that

203
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 6: Morant approached each Grizzlies player and quote apologized to us

204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 6: for his actions. He also said, you're going to see

205
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 6: a different jaw out there who's consistent every single night

206
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 6: and is going to give us the energy that we

207
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: need to be a top team in the West. All right,

208
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 6: all right, can't wait to see it Wednesday. I'm sure

209
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 6: he'll play sounds like against the huge Rockets. Although he

210
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 6: told Dylan Brooks told his teammates that he wanted to

211
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 6: come off the bench because things were working so well,

212
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 6: and Dylan Brooks said, come on, man, you're going to

213
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 6: play basketball for us as a starter because you're a superstar.

214
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 6: And Dylan Brooks, as much as we ridicule him, I

215
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 6: thought he did a really good job on Kyrie in

216
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 6: this game. Kyrie still got his He still scored. He

217
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 6: did end up stepping on Kyrie's toe y although Kyrie

218
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: said it was an accident. It was an accident, but

219
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: Kyrie was wearing a protective boot on his right foot

220
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 6: after the game because he reinjured that toe. Jared Jackson

221
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 6: Junior I thought was the biggest part on Kyrie in

222
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter. Dylan was the number one guy, and

223
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 6: because there was no Luka Dancic out there for the MAVs,

224
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 6: Kyrie had to face Dylan and then Jared Jackson Junior,

225
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 6: who teams are going to avoid like crazy in the postseason,

226
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 6: try and avoid him as much as possible, because they

227
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 6: just he just switched out onto Kyrie and just gobbled

228
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 6: him up on several possessions. You can't do that for

229
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,119
Speaker 6: forty eight minutes, but that dude can just guard from

230
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 6: every part of the court. And Kyrie didn't have a

231
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: field goal in the fourth quarter. MAVs only had three

232
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 6: themselves in the fourth quarter. Kyrie still got his twenty eight,

233
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 6: but looking at on the other side, Jaron Jackson Junior

234
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 6: came through in the end of this game. He had

235
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: twenty eight points. He's getting more confident in his post game,

236
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 6: especially against the small front line like Kaliba.

237
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: Or Dwight Powell.

238
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 6: He only took through two threes and yeah, a couple

239
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 6: buckets in an old school way late a post up

240
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 6: with four minutes left, and then getting the ball on

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 6: a pick and roll at the free throw line and

242
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 6: scoring against the small front line. Again, he's really super confident.

243
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 6: I want to see what he does in the postseason.

244
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 6: But Grizzlies broadcaster former NBA player Brevin Knight was yelling

245
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: on the broadcast. You could hear it while we're doing playback.

246
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 6: He yelled, the Grizzlies have found their number two option,

247
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 6: and I hope so it is a different type of

248
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 6: option because this is the non post era of the

249
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 6: NBA and that's where Jaron Jackson Junior goes. We were

250
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 6: talking about a couple of possessions. He got the ball

251
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 6: at the three point line, didn't touch it with his

252
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 6: right hand, and got all the way to the rim,

253
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: just backing guys down. They're spreading it out for him.

254
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 6: So I want to see how that works out in

255
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 6: the postseason. I want to see how Jason Kidds coaching

256
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 6: works out in the postseason, because they kind of gave

257
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 6: this game away, they're up double digits and they just

258
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: couldn't score. So there we go. Kyrie needs Luca, and

259
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: Luca will be back soon, I'm sure, and hopefully Kyrie's

260
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 6: healthy as well, because that's the recipe for the maps

261
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 6: and looking forward to it. What do we We got

262
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 6: a second seed to Grizzlies team here, now that's right, they.

263
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: Are the number two seed and the Kings, they lose,

264
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: they come back. We'll get to them losing to the

265
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: Jazz a little bit later in the show. But yeah,

266
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: both number two seeds changed last night. The Celtics back

267
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: at number two and now the Grizzlies back at number

268
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: two in the West. And what about Dylan Brooks dancing

269
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: dancing and pointing sort of at the at the other bench,

270
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: the opponent's bench, and got his sixteenth technical on the season.

271
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 2: So if it's stand, if this one is not rescinded,

272
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: he's missing a game.

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: I thought eighteen. I thought he got to eighteen. Now sixteen,

274
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: he's already done sixteen.

275
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: This is eighteen, bench, excuse me, thank you?

276
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 5: And this one was such okay, this was a dumb

277
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 5: technical because literally he's taunting a guy on the bench. Yeah,

278
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: but also it's a hilarious technical because he's taunting a

279
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 5: guy on the bench.

280
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's doing a very funny he said Dan

281
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Theo Pinson.

282
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: I used to love watching this guy play growing up.

283
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 5: They were in high school together, like they were in

284
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,119
Speaker 5: high school, and now he's paid to be a cheerleader,

285
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: is what Dylan Brooks said. So that's when I ain't

286
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 5: getting rescinded. All the Grizzlies, even Taylor Jenkins, are like, yeah,

287
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be tough to get that one back.

288
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

289
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 5: So he's just gonna set out a game.

290
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: I did like his line about it though, it was

291
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 6: it's a five thousand dollars fine as well as well

292
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: as the suspension. He said, it's just paper man.

293
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 5: You're right.

294
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 6: You're right, Dylan Brooks. It's a love hate relationship with

295
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 6: Dan Brooks says some good stuff going at his old

296
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: teammate Theo Pinson on the bench calling him a cheerleader,

297
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 6: but it was a loving way, he said. He also

298
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 6: said he was a great basketball player. Now he's being

299
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 6: paid to be a cheerleader, but a damn good cheerleader.

300
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 5: Serious bird.

301
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: What about after the game where Dylan Brooks did the

302
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: jersey swap with Kyrie Irving. Well, was it a swap?

303
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what can we counted.

304
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 5: That a jersey?

305
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: He took Kyrie's jersey. Didn't seem like Kyrie was that

306
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: interested in the Dylan Brooks jersey.

307
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 6: No, he didn't take it, and he was asked about

308
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 6: a postgame right on it.

309
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: Everybody on it.

310
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 6: Hey, uh, it seemed like Dylan Brooks wanted to swap

311
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: jerseys with you, but you didn't get his jersey. And

312
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 6: actually the reporter said, such a gracious gesture by Dylan

313
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 6: Brooks to give you his jersey. Andy, Kyrie ain't fan

314
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: in the flames. He was pretty smart to say, oh,

315
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 6: I'll probably.

316
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: Get it next time.

317
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 6: I was just distracted, No, he said he was mentally

318
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 6: onto the next game. Yeah, really quickly, I'll probably get

319
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 6: it next game.

320
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 5: He went and gave a big hug to Ja Moran. Yeah,

321
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: I gotta go hug.

322
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 6: Yeah jersey and Triple J, who was guarding him very

323
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 6: well like Dylan Brooks. But the Dylan Brooks thing, you know,

324
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 6: there's some a bit of animosity there, I'm sure, But are.

325
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: You saying Dylan Brooks is still wandering around seeing who's

326
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: going to take his his Jersey's just still in the arena,

327
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: asking like janitors and stuff.

328
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: What this?

329
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: I'm good? No, thanks, man, possible anything else TK from this.

330
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: One, Yeah, tast mentioned Brevan Knight on the call. At

331
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: one point, Pete Brannica said that Jared Jackson Junior was

332
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 5: a boy becoming a man after a big time slammed dunk,

333
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: which is hilarious because you know he's already a man.

334
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 5: But also, Jared Jackson Junior last four games, twenty five,

335
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 5: twenty eight, thirty one last night, twenty eight in twenty

336
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: three minutes, all of these on sixty plus percent shooting.

337
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 5: This is one of the best offensive stretches of his career.

338
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

339
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: I was also really impressed by Memphis crushing Dallas on

340
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 5: the glass. A fifty to thirty seven rebound advantage for

341
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies, seventeen to eight on the offensive boards, and

342
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 5: this is missing their two best rebounders in Steven Adams

343
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 5: and Brandon Clark. That's a way you can beat the MAVs.

344
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 5: And that's really how the Grizzlies came back in this one.

345
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 6: Santi al Dama, great name, fourteen boards.

346
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I will say like John Morant when he

347
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: comes back, if it's Wednesday, whenever, it is like, of course, yeah,

348
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: he's starting.

349
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 5: He should.

350
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: But how lucky are the Grizzlies to have a backup

351
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: point guard like Tyas Jones. I know I'm a broken

352
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: record with this, but I truly believe he is just

353
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: one of the best backup point guards in the league.

354
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: And he slots in there last night sixteen and six,

355
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: seven to ten from the floor, hit a couple threes,

356
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: and he just never hurts you. He never fouls. It's unbelievable.

357
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: He never fouls the other team. And he rarely turns

358
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: the ball over like it's weird to see one turnover

359
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: in the box score for Tias Jones. So admirable job

360
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: from him slotting in there as John Morant had missed

361
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: some time.

362
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 6: But yeah, and you can see him filling in in

363
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 6: the shooting guard spot in fourth quarter minutes, especially with

364
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 6: Steven Adams out for a long chunk of time and

365
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 6: Brandon Clark out, They're gonna have to size up and

366
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 6: Jared Jackson Junior is gonna have to play five. And

367
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 6: that's the scary thing two for grizz is he had

368
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 6: five fouls in those twenty three minutes yesterday. He can

369
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 6: file out because he doesn't have the big guys around,

370
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 6: So Tys Jones could also help out. Just his part

371
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 6: could just be being a playmaker. They need something in

372
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 6: that half court offense can't wait to watch in the playoffs.

373
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: Let's move over to the Timberwolves edging past the Knicks

374
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 2: despite Julius Randalls fifty seven points, career high for him.

375
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: So Julius Randalls scored fifty seven, one of the greatest

376
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: nights for a Knicks player in history, and the Wolves

377
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: in this game also had the hottest start in the

378
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: NBA this season. They were on fire. They hit their

379
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: first ten shots and didn't cool off for much of

380
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: the game. They finished shooting sixty one point four percent

381
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: and Torrian Prince was the hero for the Wolves. We

382
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: can get to Randall in a second, but he had

383
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: a season high thirty five and he went eight for

384
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: eight from three point range. Mike Conley had a good

385
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: game twenty four and eleven, but we had Knicks fans

386
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: cheering when McDaniels finally missed a shot from Minnesota early

387
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: in this game. It was like seven minutes into game action.

388
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: I think it was Jack Settleman was tweeting a photo

389
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: really weird to see up on the jumbo tron or

390
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 2: on the big screen. One hundred percent shooting across all

391
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: three categories. Because that was lasting for a little while

392
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: there with the Wolves until they finally miss. But Prince,

393
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: I mean again, Randall fifty seven. Incredible, Prince going eight

394
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: for eight from deep to become the seventh player in

395
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: NBA history to do that, like eight for eight or

396
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: better not missing a three. It's incredible.

397
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I actually kind of think that's more surprising than

398
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 5: Julius Randall. I think so too, for fifty seven. At

399
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 5: one point, Michael Grady, the play by play man for

400
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 5: the timber Wolves, called out Prince the shot drops in

401
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 5: dearly beloved. Not bad.

402
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: That's pretty good.

403
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: Not bad, definitely not bad, but interesting. Game for Julius

404
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: Randall fifty seven points. He was cooking through three quarters.

405
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 5: He is the entire reason that the Knicks were in

406
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: this game, I thought. But he also kind of blew

407
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 5: it at the end giving up the offensive rebound two.

408
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: I think it ended up being Kyle Anderson with ten

409
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 5: seconds left. The Knicks gotta stop the rebound was there

410
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 5: for the taken, but somehow Kyle Anderson out quick to

411
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 5: Julius Randall. He followed that up by getting a tex

412
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 5: so the duality of man. Fifty seven points good, yeah,

413
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: following the winning plays not as good.

414
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: Because Randal had just had the three point play. We

415
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: watched the end of this one on playback and there

416
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 2: was like forty five seconds left, but it's a one

417
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: thirty seven to thirty four Wolves lead, and TK just

418
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: said it like, they got the stop, but you got

419
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: to finish the possession, get the rebound. Kyle Anderson got it,

420
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: and then that was the one. I think that then

421
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: went to Prince sort of cutting baseline there a little

422
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: quick little layup inside. Randall's pissed off, throws the ball

423
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: off the stanchion, gets the tech and then the Wolves

424
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: get an extra free throw shot there and then he's

425
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: like what was he like banging like the what do

426
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: you even call that? The sideboard?

427
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 6: I always caught the scorers table, Yeah.

428
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: Scores table with the graphics on it, and he was

429
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: punching at it. He was mad, Yeah, but yeah, he

430
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: was pissed and he talked about it after the game,

431
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: like he was like, you know, fifty seven great, but

432
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: we lost and I didn't get the possession there. I

433
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: didn't get that rebound. It really cost us. We would

434
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: have had a chance at least to like maybe get

435
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: this into overtime or even win the thing. But a

436
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: pretty incredible game. Fifty seven is still fifty seven. And

437
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: he's like, it's what is it? It's it's Carmelo, Anthony,

438
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: Bernard King, and now Julius Randall. There it is sixty

439
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: two Melow had in twenty fourteen, Bernard King on Christmas

440
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: with the sixty and then Randall last night. You see

441
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: some other notable names there. Shout out to Allan Houston,

442
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: what a game.

443
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 6: No love for Richie Garon, who also had fifty seven.

444
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: Richie Garan, you're a big fit.

445
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 6: The year was nineteen fifty nine. I had never heard

446
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 6: of him until this night.

447
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only ever hear of him when that.

448
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever you hear Hall of Fame. Right.

449
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: We did have this piece of trivia on the playback

450
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: last night. But to flush it out a little bit more,

451
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: I said, Prince is the seventh player in NBA history

452
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: to go eight for eight or better on three pointers

453
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: in a game. I know you, I know a few

454
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: of the answers. But do you know do you know

455
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: who else has done eight for eight or more?

456
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 5: Ben Gordon? Ben Gordon has done it twice.

457
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: That is the other one is went nine for nine.

458
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 6: I believe I heard that last night.

459
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: Do you know the other? You know all these guys? Okay,

460
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: I'll give you some hints. Yeah, guy was a two

461
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 2: time three point contest winner. White dude the other way there,

462
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: you got to it. Nice great nickname. This guy's incredible

463
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: eight for eight from three for a big guy. Awesome nickname,

464
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: because you know he was like peanut butter some like

465
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: a crunchy telling me Sam Perkins, Sam Perkins went time.

466
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 6: I touched his hand this All Star weekend.

467
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: Okay, you also have touched this guy's hand before in

468
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: the NBA TV studios. I believe he's known for not

469
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: really being a three point shooter, but he's known for

470
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 2: a particular move that was named after him.

471
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 6: Steve Smith.

472
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: Steve Smith, the Smitty went and final One former Maverick's

473
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: Legend played for the Suns.

474
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: Eddie Johnson, Nope, Hubert Davis, Michael Finley.

475
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: Michael Finley, what a weird list? Torrian Prince, Ben Gordon twice, Horny, big, smooth, smitty,

476
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: it's pretty well. Michael Finley eight great or better on

477
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 2: three pointers in the game. Anyone can get hot, man.

478
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is the type of game we're talking

479
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 6: about getting hot. The Wolf scored seventy nine points in

480
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 6: the first half. This is the type of game you

481
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: get excited about watching the Minnesota Timberwolves. The duality of

482
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 6: man is tracy. This is the duality of the Wolves.

483
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 6: They just lost three straight games. Then they come in

484
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 6: a game like this and do all the little things

485
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 6: like the Kyle Anderson rebound. As much as it was

486
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: a mistake by Julius Ryannold's a great move by Kyle

487
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 6: Anderson just to get scrappy. They have a lot of

488
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 6: those scrappy guys, but they don't do it game in

489
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 6: and game out. And yeah, they're going to be in

490
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 6: a battle here without Anthony Edwards. Hopefully it comes back soon.

491
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 5: Well, there's actually some news about that.

492
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: Okay.

493
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 5: Talking about the duality of man, Well, here's two men

494
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: who could be returning to the lineup from Sean Sharana.

495
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 5: There's optimism that Minnesota timberwolve stars Karl Anthony Towns and

496
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards could return as soon as Wednesday versus the Hawks.

497
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: Towns hasn't played since November twenty eighth.

498
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 6: Wow, they did a good job keeping that a secret.

499
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: His return, his ramp up sounded like it was going

500
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 6: to be weeks away.

501
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: That's quick.

502
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 2: I guess we did learn he had a hell of

503
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: a setback, sat back way back in like January.

504
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought, h yeah, But right now it just

505
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 6: seemed like he was he was playing in what is

506
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 6: it called.

507
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: The shape getting shape leaguer or getting shape up league

508
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: or something. What do they call it? Shape?

509
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, the guy the guys who were hurt, the guys

510
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 6: who were yeah, to stay in shape league. That was

511
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 6: just days ago. Yeah, so surprising that he'd be back already.

512
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 4: That's great.

513
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: Must must be a great league.

514
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 4: He must be a great league.

515
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: Got him back in Shave just like that.

516
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 5: He's ready to shape.

517
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 2: So holy crap. Wednesday night we could see John Morant

518
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: returning to the Grizzlies. These two guys possibly returning to

519
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: the Wolves. Some big names coming back in an already

520
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: crowded Western Conference playoff.

521
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: Rames ramp off season. Kevin Durant back in no time.

522
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: Good point, good point, win's le Bron coming back ham

523
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: so soon be on Wednesday. That's the day for it,

524
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 2: all right. Uh so those are three games from last night.

525
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: We got three more still to tackle. Let's take a

526
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: quick break and uh don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.

529
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: All right, we talked about three games last night. Let's

530
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: get to the other three, and we start with the

531
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: Warriors beating the Rockets to halt their eleven game road skid.

532
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: They did it, Trey, They beat the Houston Rockets. Celebrations incredible.

533
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 5: I'm kidding, man, I'm kidding man. The Warriors got their

534
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: eighth road win last night. We don't need to celebrate that. No.

535
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 5: They hadn't won though since January thirtieth on the road.

536
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 5: That's a long time. They really needed this one, coming

537
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: in on a three game losing streak to start off

538
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 5: a five game road trip. Not the most inspiring victory,

539
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 5: I would say for Golden State. They had fourteen turnovers

540
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: in the first half, which Draymond Green called pathetic bod.

541
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 5: They tightened up in the second half, only six turnovers,

542
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 5: two of them came in the first three minutes of

543
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 5: the third quarter, so a pretty clean second half all

544
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: things considered. They hit ten threes as well, really controlled

545
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: the glass in this one against a pretty small Rockets

546
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 5: team eight offensive rebounds for Kevon Looney. Jamichael Green was

547
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 5: actually pretty key on the glass as well. Steve Kerr

548
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 5: did say this is the worst they've played so far

549
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 5: on their road trip, but who cares because they gotta

550
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: win and they'll take it anyway they can. Because the

551
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 5: Warriors now up to sixth in the Western Conference, they

552
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 5: play the MAVs, who are currently in seventh for the

553
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 5: tiebreaker on Wednesday. Obviously they're coming off a loss, so

554
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 5: I think a successful night for the Warriors. I really

555
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 5: felt like a degenerate Skeets when we were just rooting

556
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 5: for that last three at the end of the game,

557
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 5: which Steph Curry obliged. Curry and Thompson obviously huge games

558
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 5: last night, they were making their threes. I thought Kuminga

559
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 5: was good. Jordan Poole played a pretty solid floor game,

560
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 5: even though he really couldn't score, but stop turning the

561
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 5: ball over, stop or started playing a little defense. The

562
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 5: Warriors needed a get right game they got right last night.

563
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's still belief that they can get right in

564
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 6: the postseason and still play well because they look at

565
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: the stats and they say, opposing teams aren't going to

566
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 6: keep shooting forty from three against us when we're on

567
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 6: the road. It's forty one percent that opponents shoot when

568
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: they're on the road when the Warriors are on the road,

569
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 6: but when they get back home, opponents only shoot thirty

570
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 6: two percent at home. There's some wild splits. They're beating

571
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 6: teams at home by eight points and then they lose

572
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 6: by seven points on the road, so they think that

573
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 6: they're still away. There's there's still away, and like like

574
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 6: you said, they started this road trip here, they're now

575
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 6: four games in. They played better against the Hawks, they

576
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 6: played better earlier in this road trip, so they feel fine.

577
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 6: It's it's just a lot. That's some tough sledding to

578
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 6: keep doing this night in the night out. You need

579
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 6: so much from Steph here in all these games and

580
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 6: in March, so it's just it's gonna add up. I

581
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 6: think even if Wiggins comes back and Gary Payton a

582
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: second comes back.

583
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: My only note really from this one is we saw

584
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: a guy hit a half court shot in this game. Yeah,

585
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: a lefty, A lefty, we don't see a lot of

586
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: lefties get the opportunity to step up to that half

587
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: court line and bang one. And he got multiple opportunities, yes,

588
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: which was a little perplexing.

589
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 6: You don't often see a person get multiple opportunities. No,

590
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 6: you don't see a lefty. You don't see multiple opportunities.

591
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 6: And I think he made a quick adjustment. I think

592
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 6: he went just a bit left because he was right.

593
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 6: He did were a shot, took a tiny step like

594
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 6: he could shoot him. He looked like a play like, yeah,

595
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 6: he's he's ill comfortable with the basketball in his right analysis.

596
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: You can tell right away.

597
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 5: And he banged it home.

598
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: He banged it home, and he won nineteen thousand dollars.

599
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: We think too, So maybe it's like one. We're like,

600
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you shoot on Saturday and you miss,

601
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: then we like add more money to it. Right, how

602
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: do they get to nineteen thousand? It's gotta be that.

603
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: What if it was started at twenty thousand, every miss

604
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 5: we take off one thousand dollars.

605
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: Okay, nice, I can't miss, so he would have got

606
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: twenty shots, had shots. I'll start shooting something there. But yeah,

607
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: a much needed road win there at the Warriors, even

608
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 2: it was against the Rockets to halt that eleven game

609
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: road skin. Let's move to the Jazz holding off the

610
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: King's task one twenty eight one twenty uh it got

611
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: They were up huge. Utah and Kings got back into

612
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: this game, but the Jazz closed it out.

613
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 6: The Jazz were a story more earlier in the season

614
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 6: when they were a number one seed, but they deserve

615
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 6: some stories right now. They continue to be great. This

616
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 6: season was about development. If we win some games, nice,

617
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 6: that's just a byproduct. They're at thirty five and thirty

618
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 6: six continuously just work through games. You mentioned that they

619
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 6: gave up a lead every quarter, every play. Every guy

620
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 6: who steps on this floor contributes. It didn't matter that

621
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 6: they didn't have their top three scores in this game.

622
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: Lorry Market, Jordan Clarkson, Colling, Sexons all out. They just

623
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 6: beat the Celtics. Now they just beating up their number

624
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 6: two seed in the Kings, who now dropped to number three.

625
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 6: They're up twenty five guys like Simoni Fontecio, Kelly Olnok

626
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 6: hitting threes. They each had four threes. Chris Dunn coming

627
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: off the bench, Udoka as Abookie. These guys that is

628
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 6: just fun to say their names, frankly, are contributing to

629
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 6: them playing basketball. They literally don't quit, so they could

630
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 6: have easily quit when they were up twenty five. Kings

631
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 6: are coming back. This is a better team. They decided

632
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 6: we're gonna We're gonna try and close this in the

633
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 6: third quarter. In the fourth quarter, but the young Jazz players,

634
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: the youngest of the Jazz players shut the door.

635
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: Guys.

636
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 6: I didn't even mention they're two rooks that they got

637
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 6: o Chai Abaji. He had seven points in the fourth quarter.

638
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 6: He had a career high twenty seven on just fourteen shots.

639
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: Great thing about the Jazz, great thing about market and

640
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 6: leading the way. They never take shots that they shouldn't

641
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 6: be taking. He had six threes. Solid solid game from

642
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: him on cuts, getting to the rim again in big,

643
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 6: big minutes. That's the guy that they got in part

644
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 6: for that Donovan Mitchell trade. And then the guy that

645
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 6: they got in part from the we Go Bear trade,

646
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 6: Walker Kessler, who has been good all year. He contests everything.

647
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 6: He was a problem for Dematsabonis in this game. He

648
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 6: blocks a bonus with one thirty left right at the ram,

649
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 6: one of his five blocks.

650
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 4: That's what he does.

651
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 6: He's second in the NBA in total contested shots. Love

652
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 6: that stat because the guy just gets after it. Ten

653
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: eight and five blocks in this game. That's all he

654
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 6: freaking does. So this season huge win for the Utah

655
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 6: Jazz around five hundred. They could be in the play

656
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 6: in tournament. They're in it right now. And a development

657
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 6: of these two rooks and then a bunch of guys

658
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 6: as well. Obviously marknen Clarkson has been phenomenal. What a season.

659
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: What a season, And to hold off a King's team

660
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: that didn't have hurt her Maybe their health, maybe their

661
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 6: health is finally either great health is finally catching up

662
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 6: to them. But hopefully he'll be back. He was sort

663
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 6: of questionable coming into this game.

664
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: How many like game saving blocks does Walker Kessler have

665
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: this season? If we count that one last night, which

666
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: was pretty pretty key at the part of the game,

667
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean William, yeah, something like that. And you said,

668
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: it's the tenth time he's recorded at least five blocks

669
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: in a game. Can the last rookie to hit that?

670
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 5: Mark to Cambe No, Alonzo Morning.

671
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: No, these are good guesses.

672
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis.

673
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: This guy, I believe incredibly never won a defensive Player

674
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: of the Year Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan fourteen games of

675
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: five blocks or more as a rookie, And that's what

676
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: Walker Kessler's doing here and short season, right, we think

677
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: we most of us think that Mike Brown is going

678
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: to win Coach of the Year and deserve rely so,

679
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: especially when you look at them not making the playoffs

680
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: for sixteen years and he comes in and they're actually good.

681
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: But Will Hardy, he's gonna get a ton of votes too,

682
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: Like he might get some first place votes and I

683
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: would assume get a lot of second and third place

684
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: votes on the Coach of the Year ballot.

685
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, And no doubt I was wrong about Timmy.

686
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 6: That was the next year they made the finals. My

687
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 6: bad the shortened season.

688
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 5: But the Kessler thing was impressive though, because I like,

689
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 5: I just watched the big guys when they play. January

690
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: fourth was Kings versus Jazz, and Kessler was still coming

691
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: off the bench at that time and sabonas ate his

692
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 5: lunch like he was in his chest every single time.

693
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: Kessler had no idea how to deal with the brute

694
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 5: force of Savonas and then last night Sabonas went for

695
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 5: eleven points on four of eleven shooting. That's impressive for Kessler.

696
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: Five blocks as well, and then you mentioned the one

697
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 5: to basically seal the game. He's the only real starter

698
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: that was out there, and that guy wasn't starting for

699
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 5: most of the season. Also pretty weird that Taylor Wharton

700
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 5: Tucker is in his fourth season in the NBA still

701
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 5: younger than Ochaiabaji, whoa yeah.

702
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't look like it either.

703
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 5: No, he does not know he's like Balding he's younger.

704
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, Yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't know

705
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: Abaji was that like old though.

706
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 5: He's so to speak, it'll be twenty three at the

707
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 5: end of the season.

708
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that's a crazy, crazy stat. As

709
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 6: I said, Walker Kessler second and contested shots in the NBA.

710
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: In total contested shots he's been he started for half

711
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 6: the season. Numbers are weird, but he just every time

712
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 6: he's on the floor, he's obviously contesting everything. Yeah, he

713
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: just goes after it. Multiple blocks all the time. He's

714
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 6: thirred in double double games, which also include three blocks.

715
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 6: You know, it's a very hand cherry pick stat but

716
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 6: still it means he just gets after him block shots.

717
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 6: Shout out to Brett Usher for that one.

718
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: The Hornets rally from twenty one back to beat the

719
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: Pacers one fifteen one oh nine. This was our final

720
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: game last night. I don't think we'll spend too much

721
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: time on it. But Kelly Ubridge Junior twenty eight points,

722
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: Terry rozi Are twenty three, Gordon Hayward twenty two, so

723
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: all of them contributing last night, and the Hornets looked

724
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: like they were gonna lose this game, looked like the

725
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: Pacers are like keeping their postseason hopes alive here, and

726
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: instead the Hornets outscored them nineteen to four over the

727
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: final six minutes. And I do wonder if, like, is

728
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: that sort of the end of Indy's you know, postseason

729
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: playing hopes. I know they're still within striking distance, but

730
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 2: it's starting to feel that way. I think they're two

731
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: and a half back now from the Bulls at the

732
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: tenth spot. Though, the Pacers hold the tiebreaker over the

733
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 2: Bowl somehow, taking that season series three to one, so

734
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: that could come into play, but they just like cough

735
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: this one over, caught this one up. Excuse me twenty

736
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: one times twenty one turnovers, man thirty five Charlotte points.

737
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: So you're not doing yourself any favors. And the Hornets

738
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: get a win here, it doesn't really change anything in

739
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: terms of like their lottery ball pingpong ball odds. Right,

740
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: you know they're they're they're sort of like just the

741
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 2: fourth team. You know, it's the Pistons, the Rockets, the Spurs.

742
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: Then there's a little separation. The Hornets slotted in right

743
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: now at fourth, they're gonna have very likely, you know,

744
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: a twelve and a half percent chance of getting the

745
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 2: number one when Yama pick and and then it's like

746
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: Orlando and Portland that are a little bit better or worse,

747
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: however you want to look at it, worse being you

748
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: want the number one. It's a good Hornets win here,

749
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: and like their guys are like contributing a lot of

750
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: this is like coming at the end. Nick Richard's big

751
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: Nick big game dominated the glass. He was putting up

752
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 2: a stat line that we saw a couple of times

753
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 2: earlier this season. Big performance, big Nick energy, fourteen points,

754
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: seventeen boards, and some good defense as he did. I

755
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: think they sort of shocked the Pacers here in winning

756
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: this game, going on that late.

757
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 6: Run, as have they said, As Eric Collins said, big

758
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 6: Nick energy out of the broadcast.

759
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear him scream it. I don't think

760
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 2: he has, but that's seems right up as out.

761
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: I haven't seen every Nick Richards minute so far this season.

762
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 4: A Scottie Pippen.

763
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 5: Laughter. So yeah, look, thirty one wins for the Portland Trailblazers,

764
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 5: thirty two for the Indiana Pacers. They are sixth and

765
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 5: seventh in lottery odds right now. We're gonna see Damian

766
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 5: Lillard or Tyrese Haliburton again this season? I don't think so.

767
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Lillard one's fascinating. Yeah, it's because, like here's

768
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: what I think about the Lillard situation. They're done, They're

769
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: out of this. They're not making a plan, which is

770
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: terribly disappointing. But if he doesn't play the rest of

771
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 2: the year, that really, really really hurts his chances of

772
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: any all NBA selection, Right Like, if they just shut

773
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: him down, I don't think he's getting the votes to

774
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: make a second or third team, even though he has

775
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: incredible numbers. But if he continues to play, and you know,

776
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: we still put up thirty five every night that he

777
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: might slip in. I don't think he's deserving. We went

778
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: over the other day. I think guys like Fox and

779
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: stuff like that on winning teams probably deserve maybe that spot.

780
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: But some of these voters don't care. Right, guy's averaging

781
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: thirty four game or whatever.

782
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 6: Thirty three is that fifty seven games played, which is

783
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 6: one game short of the scoring title requirement?

784
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 4: Mark, Oh, yeah, when.

785
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 6: The discussions on this in the CBA are tie or

786
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 6: there's some discussions about tying games played to awards, Yes, yes,

787
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 6: and maybe it won't be tied to all NBA awards.

788
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 6: Who knows, maybe it will be higher than fifty eight,

789
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 6: But fifty eight is tied to the scoring title win.

790
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 4: He shorted that one.

791
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 6: So I mean, that's just a number in our brains.

792
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 6: He's one short, well, third.

793
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 5: In the league in scoring right now, thirty two point

794
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 5: two and beat is thirty three point six. I wonder,

795
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 5: like how many points exactly Dame would need to score

796
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 5: it gets to like thirty three point seven and then

797
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 5: shut it down having played exactly fifty eight games because

798
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 5: Willard could get it. Whatever the number is, I don't

799
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 5: know exactly what it is. I'll do some math in

800
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 5: the break.

801
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 2: I guess he would in that scenario need em bead

802
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 2: to have some stinkers too. Here and how many games

803
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: do they have left against your Chicago Bulls.

804
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 5: Had a monster game wednesday?

805
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: Wely play again? Yeah, well there you go. Let me

806
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: take the Tankets on for a spin.

807
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, take it all right?

808
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 2: Here we go, sim lottery, No, no, no, Houston Rockets

809
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: win wemb Yama all right, number one pick. Orlando jumps

810
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: up to second. Wizards three, Pelicans four. Wow, that's not

811
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: good for the Pistons or the Spurs there slipping to

812
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: five and six. Then this sim got some news. Back

813
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: to the Kings here for a second and the Sixers. Yesterday,

814
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 2: Kings forward Demonta Sibonis and seventy six er center Dowell

815
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: Embiid were named the NBA Players of the Week for

816
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: Week twenty two. And this is the second consecutive Player

817
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 2: of the Week honors for Sibonis and Embiid. They both

818
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 2: earned that achievement in week twenty one. Sabonis led the

819
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: Kings to a three and one record, averaging twenty three,

820
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: sixteen and ten, not a bad week. Embiid, he led

821
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: the six Ers to a perfect three in a week.

822
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: This is obviously for week twenty two, so not coming

823
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 2: last night's game, averaging thirty five round up thirteen and

824
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: about three and a half blocks. So congrats to them.

825
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: Did you notice what I said there? I said Kings

826
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: forward Demontes Sabonis. I read what NBA dot Com pushed out.

827
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: Why are they calling him a forward? What are they doing?

828
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: You think this is shenanigans.

829
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's not a forward. He's played

830
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent of his minutes since coming

831
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: to the Sacramento Kings as a center, so I don't

832
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: get this.

833
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's only played one hundred percent of his

834
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: minutes as a center this.

835
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: Season this season, ninety nine percent last year. Okay, in

836
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: the fifteen or sixteen games.

837
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 5: To run with Alex Lennett something, I just like, run

838
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 5: him with Rashan Hames.

839
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: I think they just are like people get it. Like

840
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: he was a forward when he was on the Pacers

841
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: because he played alongside Turner, So he's still a forward,

842
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: but he's not. He is a center. And I bring

843
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: that up because we were talking about the All NBA,

844
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, third team center and I think it should

845
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: be sibonas.

846
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 6: It's funny because that ties into a tweet of the

847
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 6: night that we have later on in this show. I

848
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 6: didn't even know that about Demanta Saboni's height. Wow, maybe

849
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 6: that's why the NBA is thinking it, but it doesn't

850
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 6: make sense when you see the tweet of the night.

851
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: O Chayabaji.

852
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 6: We're going way back here. He's gonna be twenty three.

853
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 6: As you said, you'll never you'll never forget his birthday

854
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 6: once I tell it to you, okay for twenty okay,

855
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 6: and two thousand and the year two thousands, so it's

856
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 6: like twenty two thousand two two O four twenty you'll

857
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 6: never forget.

858
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 5: I will actually never forget that.

859
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: Do you want to celebrate it? Yes, so we get

860
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: there on the show.

861
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 5: Also, I did the math, which like a blunt looks

862
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 5: like things are gonna be okay. I think he's okay. Yeah,

863
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 5: Will every would have to have it a one hundred

864
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 5: and eighteen point game. He came back to he could

865
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 5: do it, man age he could.

866
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 2: We're gonna take your final break. It's a quick one.

867
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: When we come back, pick them results and task has

868
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 2: already teased it a tweeted the night about Demonta Sabonis's

869
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 2: height don't go anywhere. Well, TK mentioned it. We were

870
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: living and dying with those final possessions of the Warriors

871
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: Rockets game because Trey and I needed the Warriors to

872
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 2: win by ten points or more and it was tight.

873
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 2: It was going back and fourth and then Steph Curry

874
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: just hit a bomb, just hit a bomb with like

875
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: thirty five seconds ago, and that did it. So that's

876
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: a win for us. Trey nine and five, I'm six

877
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 2: and eight. Tass had the Rockets to cover. I had

878
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: a lot of points to play with, but got the

879
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: l So you're four and ten here, Tass. You're having

880
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: a real skeets month. What's tonight's game?

881
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 6: Tonight's schedule looking forward to the Calves and that's potential

882
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 6: freeview Celtics kings Hell. Oh okay, late one there and

883
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 6: and even later one for us on the East Coast,

884
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 6: Clippers are hosting the thunder Clippers six and a half

885
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 6: point favorites. That's a big line against the Oka. See Thunder.

886
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 6: We're in the friggin playing tournament. But Tray and I

887
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: still think they're gonna cover Skeets. You've got ok se

888
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 6: to cover six points or less or obviously the old

889
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 6: mL you got them.

890
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: Both, SGA revenge game? Are you kidn me?

891
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 4: Put on a Russell Westbrook revenge game?

892
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 2: Oh? Wow, it's gonna be an intense game. Sounds like

893
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 2: it's gonna be close. No Thunder playing really really well

894
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: recently for sure. And the Clippers I can't figure them

895
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: out ever, So yeah, I'll just I'll just back the

896
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 2: Canadians there and the OKAC Thunder. Good luck to everybody, though.

897
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: Let's get to a tweet of the night.

898
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: Tweet over the wow.

899
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 6: This tweet comes from Brett Usher, a great follow on Twitter.

900
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 6: He highlighted a couple players heights on NBA dot com,

901
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 6: so he pulled up their profile pages. We've got Walker

902
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 6: Kesler on the left, Demanta Sabonis on the right because

903
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: they were playing each other. Their heights specifically, Walker Kesler

904
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 6: seven feet Okay, that makes sense. De Montas Sabona seven

905
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 6: to one. There's no chance that Demonta Sabonis is seven

906
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 6: to one. There's absolutely no chance. So let's focus on

907
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 6: that one there. Other sites have him listed at six

908
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 6: ten because that's what he probably is, six eleven.

909
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: Because he's probably six.

910
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 6: Yes, so I think they have him at six ten,

911
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 6: actually do it? Or no, six eleven, because he's six ten,

912
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 6: He's not seven to one. There's no chance, we know,

913
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 6: even if he's leading the league in rebounds, when he

914
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 6: goes up beside a seven footer, he's just there's no

915
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 6: way he's that tall. We were told in twenty nine

916
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 6: team that the NBA was going to start cracking down

917
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 6: on teams and the measurements of players. That you couldn't

918
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 6: just send it in. You couldn't just tell us demantas

919
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 6: bonus is seven to one. We're coming to your facility,

920
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 6: you're taking off your padded socks, you're obviously taking off

921
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 6: your shoes, and we're measuring you foot to head. That

922
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 6: was twenty nineteen.

923
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 5: Okay, this is the NBA dot com.

924
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 6: Patrick, Let's let's be a specify that in putting yourror,

925
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 6: you think fat fat thumbed it, Like what would be

926
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 6: the error there? Like somebody actually goes up to a

927
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 6: ruler and just like fat fingers it, so it goes

928
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 6: three inches higher than it is, Like, how would you

929
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 6: go from six ten to seven one? Now they made

930
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 6: him they maybe it was twenty nineteen and literally The

931
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 6: press release was in October. Hey, we're coming to camps

932
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 6: and we are going to get this right. There's no

933
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 6: more lying and a lot of players heights changed. But

934
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 6: maybe they gave up during the pandemic because this was

935
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 6: just before it, and they said, screw it, sent us

936
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 6: to your heights.

937
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 4: Whatever you want to beat.

938
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 6: You want to be seven seven to one, sure, Kevin Durant,

939
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 6: you don't want to be seven foot six ten, sure,

940
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 6: no problem. It's just wrong. It is absolutely wrong, And

941
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 6: I thought I find it strange. This is the NBA

942
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 6: dot com page. This, This ain't no pro ballers, this

943
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 6: this is the one.

944
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: Well, like you said, strange that they call him a

945
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: forward in their press release when he wins Player of

946
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: the Week. That doesn't The math's not math, and it's not.

947
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 6: A seven to one forward. He's neither. He's a six

948
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 6: to tenth center.

949
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 2: How tall do you think? His father? Ar Vetus was.

950
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 6: At least listed as seven three or seventh seven three was.

951
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: Listed on Basketball Reference that one.

952
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: I believe that one. I believe he's a giant.

953
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: All right, this is the bottom of this. How tall

954
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 2: is Demanta Simonis? Is he six ten? Is he six eleven?

955
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: Is he seventh beat. Is he seven to one like

956
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: the NBA dot com.

957
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: T I mean he measured at six ten at the combine?

958
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so we're saying, but a young man.

959
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 5: Is he simply nineteen years old at the time, still growing?

960
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 5: I was still growing at that point. Could he have

961
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 5: grown grown to seven to one?

962
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I don't think he's seven to one.

963
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 6: I'm with tass on this three inches. Could he be

964
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 6: six eleven?

965
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he could.

966
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 5: Does he wear lifts? Does he play in platforms? It

967
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 5: all matters. It's going measurements of matters in your shoes

968
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 5: because he playing your shoes.

969
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 4: It's fair.

970
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: Maybe he's got an oddly shaped head.

971
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 5: He does its taller than when he was drafted, like yeah.

972
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

973
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 6: So then everybody else though, because he he will go

974
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 6: stand beside Miles Turner. He played with Miles Turner. Miles

975
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 6: turn must be seven to four. Mileser is taller.

976
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's.

977
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: No Miles six eleven.

978
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: That's interesting.

979
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: Interesting, he's six ten.

980
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 6: I think he's six ten and I've never stood beside him,

981
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 6: so I wouldn't know.

982
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't know.

983
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: I think we probably we probably were by him when

984
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: he was sitting, but he was on a giant podium probably. Yeah,

985
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 2: that's a tough one. You have no issue with Walker

986
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 2: Kessler being listed in seven. We have seen him.

987
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 6: I've seen his father seeing his brother up close and personal,

988
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 6: rode an airplane with him from Atlanta to Utah mere

989
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 6: months ago.

990
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 5: The family.

991
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah you saw you saw Walker at the CAA party.

992
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 4: He was there.

993
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: He was sitting a stand right beside you.

994
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 4: Was he standing, yeah, yeah, he.

995
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 5: Was like he was taller than the rest of his family.

996
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, yeah, something is true.

997
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 5: They all measured at seven feet at the combine though,

998
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 5: so he's actually seven foot ten.

999
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 6: If you were they got they got extra room in

1000
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 6: first class. Brother and father they were sitting in first row.

1001
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 6: They had lots of leg room even though they were

1002
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 6: shorter than Walker Kessler.

1003
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 2: Has anyone done like the article, I'm sure it already exists,

1004
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: probably years ago. But like this concept of like some

1005
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: guys want to be listed taller and some guys want

1006
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: to be listed smaller sort of fascinating. And I don't

1007
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: mean like, you know guys that are like five ten, hey,

1008
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 2: round up, give me a six ft of stuff like that.

1009
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: It's more like around this like weird. It's this this

1010
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: that seven foot dilemma, if you want to call it that.

1011
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: Some want it, some don't.

1012
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 5: Some want at some don't.

1013
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how would you do?

1014
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 5: Big gay? I always go on the short side. Interesting, Yeah,

1015
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 5: Like I've measured at six six and shoes. But I

1016
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 5: would never tell somebody that. What so why sounds like bragging?

1017
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 5: Gets tall enough as it is? You know, I'm tall

1018
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 5: for a person, But I tell people six six, They're like, oh,

1019
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 5: you must be good at basketball. Six or five. Just

1020
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 5: sounds like a tall guy.

1021
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 2: That's like that, that's a tall guy. Though, I agree

1022
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 2: with you. I feel like six six now you're getting

1023
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 2: like really sort of freak almost freaky tall.

1024
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 5: That's why I don't say it.

1025
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, but why would you ever tell somebody that you're

1026
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 6: hiding shoes?

1027
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 4: It's not your height?

1028
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 5: Uh ninety eight percent of the people that see me

1029
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 5: see me in shoes.

1030
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, okay, that's true.

1031
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 5: Okay, how I tell Laura six ft five, six foot five?

1032
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 2: You see me in the what's your so you gotta say,

1033
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: what's your pool height?

1034
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? That's what I call it.

1035
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 6: We need to get measured in here.

1036
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: I think a measure Yeah, Yeah, why don't we have

1037

Speaker 4: Yeah, down, all right?

1044
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 5: Controversial, something controversial coming up here. I'm casting this to

1045
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 5: Yeshua Demanta Sabona is taller than Miles Turner.

1046
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 6: He's putting up a post move on him right there.

1047
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 6: He's backing him down.

1048
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: He was backing down a little bit.

1049
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 5: I don't think it's the Jimmy neutron.

1050
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 4: Hair over the edge here, turn is going to fall over.

1051
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 5: You accept that Miles Turner is six foot eleven. You

1052
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 5: could accept that ye Sibonus is seven to one in

1053
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 5: this picture.

1054
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know if I could go that far

1055
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 2: that they can't come on. The hair is like a

1056
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,680

1057
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 5: All right? Oh, he's doing a post move. It does

1058
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 5: kind of look he's leaning way heavy aut him.

1059
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 4: I need you to know. But that's just one photo.

1060
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 6: I've got another photo here Miles is leaning on on.

1061
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 6: They flipped its way taller. You can find any photo,

1062
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 6: any photo. Why do you look taller when you lean

1063
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 6: any sense well, our friends Deuce and Mason cover the kings.

1067
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 6: guy who doesn't want it. He doesn't want it to

1068
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 6: go lower. Maybe he wants to be a seven foot true. True,

1069
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 6: there was there. I think there was seventy players whose

00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 6: measurements changed in twenty nineteen. In twenty nineteen when they

1071
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 6: actually started measuring.

1072
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 2: You have to assume a majority of those we losing

00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 2: an inch or two, right, Yeah, yeah, Well there was.

1088
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 2: say like so you almost like they have to do it,

1089
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: Like they got to sneak up on him, like figure

1090
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 2: out a way to get his height without actually asking him, Kay,

1091
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 2: can we take your height? Yeah, they probably got to

1092
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 2: get him with out shoes on.

1093
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, they probably have to get him against the wall

1094
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 6: during a press conference and there would you know how

1095
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 6: you have that sort of that screen behind you that

1096
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 6: says the Kings and their their sponsors. So he gets

1097
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 6: I'm envisioning you put the tape on the wall behind

1098
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 6: this screen. So once he starts doing his press conference,

1099
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 6: he dropped the screen and then you see his measure.

1100
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah that's all.

1101
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 6: Now you don't have the tape just there without the screen,

1102
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 6: because then he'll see it.

1103
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 2: He's smart about like we could use like a laser

1104
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 2: level too. That's tweeted the night that's the green ending
