1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: Podcast listeners, This is for you, because single elimination in

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: the men's tournament begins. It's about to get real here

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: to talk about it. It's the man in the middle,

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby us also and the man making the magic.

5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Happened just like he did last time. It's extra kid.

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: What's uph I all doing so good?

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: So excited?

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is the time, right.

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: This is one hundred percent of the time. Like, I

10
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: don't know, I feel tasked, like all through the qualification

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: process early in the summer. We're hyping up this Olympic tournament.

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: We can't wait for this thing to get started. And

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: if we're being honest, pool play has been a little

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: bit bland. We haven't had any huge upsets. We almost

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: had the France versus Japan game. Like Giannis I think

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: is the top scorer in a game so far, thirty

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: four points really good, especially in a forty minute game.

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: But we haven't seen like a fifty point game, even

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: a forty point game yet. But with the tournament actually

20
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: getting started here, I think we're gonna see some fireworks.

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, man, let's get it.

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. Yeah. We've had some fun in

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: the Group of death in Group A. But in all honesty,

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: it feels like the tournament begins now because all the

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: good teams have advanced, and we shall get to all

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: four of those quarter final games, and we'll get to

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: some of the group round. I'm sure we'll talk about

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade's best lines on the call in his first

29
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: time calling games, because he was good. But if you

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: want to listen to anything else about the Olympics, Summer

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: of champions is on every single night. I'm sure they

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: had lots of fun talking about the one hundred meter

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: race yesterday for the men's it was pretty awesome.

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it couldn't have been closer.

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously the photo finish comes through and then

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like it took another hour

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: after the photo finish, the original photo finish to get

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: that great look where there's like red lines going across

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 3: the track that match up with everybody's Torso we're having

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: to learn Olympic sprinting rules now. It's torso first, not

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: face first, not foot first, chest first. It's all about

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: the lean So yeah, Noah Lyle's fastest man in the

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: world and also best leaner in the world.

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: I would have to say, Yeah, it's funny that I

45
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: never knew that about racing. I also never knew that

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld had that bit about the photo finish is

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: always the same. It's gold medal with his nose across

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: silver medal, you know, two inches back, and then bronze metal.

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: Don't know the guy. It was pretty good. That was

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the song. Literally, like the.

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: Fourth place guy was within zero point one seconds right.

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: It was wid His name will be forgotten to history

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: until you're looking up the splits at the end. Wild stuff,

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: but fun times and fun for Noah Lyles to get

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: to celebrate what a delayed celebration right there.

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: I'll just get up at the at the scoreboard.

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: Waiting to see what happens before he can tear off

58
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: his thing, show the world I'm the world champion.

59
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: I beat everybody.

60
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, my name is Lyles. I was wondering because they

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't show his The thing that he tore it off

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: is his bit, but it says his last name, and

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: he was holding it off for a long time. He

64
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: was trying to congratulate the other Jamaica, I mean the

65
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: guy who ended up coming in second. But the Jamaican's

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: like hold on a second, like, can we see the

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: time first? I mean, who wanted to know if he

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: finished first? Which was awesome? All under ten times. That's

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: pretty freaking cool, amazing. So you can catch Summer Champions

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: every single night. We will be back to talk about

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: all the quarterfinals games that end on Tuesday. We'll be

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: back on Wednesday to talk about them and set up

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: the semi finals. So let's get to that bracket. We'll

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: get started on one side of the bracket. Undefeated Germany

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: takes on Greece, who ended third and somehow got through

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: with a three seed in a undefeated Canada we'll take

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: on France and the other one's that's one I'm a

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: little bit worried about. For Canada, I'm a little concerned.

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. Serbia then faces Australia and undefeated

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: USA taking on Brazil, another three seed that got through. So, Trey,

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: where do you want to start? Which game do you

82
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: want to start with?

83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: I guess we got to start on the left side

84
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: of the bracket. I don't know if Side of Death

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: is gonna catch on at all, but it does seem

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 3: to be the more competitive side of the brackets. So yeah,

87
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm down with startin for Germany versus Greece because I

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: think it's kind of interesting. Germany to me, has proven

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 3: themselves to be, perhaps outside of the USA, the most

90
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: complete team that we've seen at the Olympics so far.

91
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: They've got some great ball handlers and Dennis Shrewder, who's

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: sixth in scoring at nineteen the game. Also Franz Wagner,

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: third in scoring so far twenty one a game had

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: two massive dunks on the French team. They've got size

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: inside and on the wing with Franz and moh Wagner,

96
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: Daniel Tice, Teaman Voteman.

97
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: They've got a great.

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: Shooter in Opes, and they got one of the best

99
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: Foba names in Izac Bonga. On the other side, Greece

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: is basically a one man band. Twenty seven points per

101
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: game for Giannis. That's first in the tournament, shooting almost

102
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: seventy percent from the field. Incredible stuff. If Greece gets

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: three point shooting, they're competitive with anyone. But Germany just

104
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: looks unbeatable to me right now. They run in transition.

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: They've got this face mask thing going on. When anybody

106
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: hits a three pointer. I love to see innovation and

107
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: celebrations coming to us from the German team here. So

108
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: I'm hyped for this side of the bracket. I do

109
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: feel like the favorites both being Germany and Canada, they

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: probably are gonna get through, but these should be the

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: two most competitive games of the quarterfinals.

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: I think you're totally right. This is the tougher side

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: of the bracket, Canada versus France and then potentially Germany,

114
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: which it sure feels like, and then USA in the final.

115
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: This is how they wanted it to finish away from

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: the USA side, just so they could see them in

117
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: the gold medal game, but going through France and then potentially, yeah, Germany,

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: who is coming off a World Cup last year, so

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: they know how to win, and they've looked so good

120
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: at the Japan, the Brazil win and then dominating France

121
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: in their last game with all those guys that you mentioned.

122
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: To see Franz Wagner duck dunk by Victor. I mean

123
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't an on Victor, but it was.

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: Not considering that one on him. I don't know, man,

125
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 3: it was on a fast break. He does switch hands

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: at the end. It looks incredible. He snuck it in

127
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: a little bit. But when it's wemby, the guys so

128
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: long that you got to say that one's on.

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: Him, you know, yeah, close enough. It was close enough.

130
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: He saw him on the right side, so he said,

131
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: screw it, I'm going to the left side and was

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: able to fly past him and throw it down. Then

133
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: he had another great dunk against two Frenchmen, twenty six

134
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: points for him. Him and Moe have it going on.

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: Franz and Mauritz Wagner. They look sweet together. But the bros,

136
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: when you get a pink and roll dunk between you two,

137
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: that's great stuff. I mean, that is something they'll remember forever.

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: They've got Franz and Moritz on their jerseys instead of

139
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Wagner on their jerseys. I like that. I think that's

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: cool for them. And then you get you get Shrewder.

141
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned those three guys and Tice, who's

142
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: playing extremely well defensively, because it is sort of this

143
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: hierarchy that Dwayne Wade talked about when he saw Germany

144
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: play Us in an exhibition game. Because they just know

145
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: what to do. They know that Franz is their guy

146
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: to score. Obviously, Shrewder is as well, who's looked so

147
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: good against France with the change of speeds. He had

148
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: twenty six against them. He's just a different guy when

149
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: it comes to international ball. He is, and yeah, he's

150
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: averaging the nineteen point seventy said in the nine A sists.

151
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: But then there's the hierarchy. Here's Franz, here's danil Tye

152
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: playing defense, Opes can shoot that three, the Weitman, the Timons,

153
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: all the Mans, and then the Bonga and the mo Vogar.

154
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: You just have this hierarchy. That's it's gonna be tough

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: to beat for Grease. It's gonna be really tough to

156
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: beat for Grease because yes, I know Yannis can do

157
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: whatever he wants. And he finally had a quiet game

158
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: in this tournament. His third game was actually quiet. He

159
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: went from thirty four to twenty seven to just twenty

160
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: because he got some guard play because Thomas walk Ups

161
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: finally hit some shots. Which was a really weird game

162
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: against Australia to get to this point for Greece because

163
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Australia was just not playing well at all. But out

164
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: of that kind of felt like to me, as much

165
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: as I am going to watch Greece versus Germany, tomorrow

166
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: at five am Eastern. That's the first game to line

167
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: it up for the quarterfinals. That felt like Greece. Beating

168
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Australia and getting to this quarterfinals felt like their championship.

169
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: It felt like the end for them because Germany is

170
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: just so damn good. Yeah.

171
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: I think that was Grease's big win of the tournament.

172
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: They needed it, and they needed it by a certain

173
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: amount of points to be able to get into the

174
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: quarterfinal round. They pulled it out some great late shot

175
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: making by walk up and I'm gonna butcher the other

176
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 3: guy's name, Toueopolis.

177
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: That's a tough one.

178
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they hit they hit shots when they absolutely needed

179
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: to put Grease through to the knockout round. But unfortunately,

180
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna be charging this one to the

181
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: game task. I'll be waking up at six forty five

182
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: getting the girls ready for school, checking in on the

183
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: score to see if Grease was able to get some

184
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: incredible three point shooting uh to keep them in the game.

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: Jermany's just got so much talent, They've got so much

186
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: continuity having played together and so many tournaments together. I

187
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: think they'll probably take this game. But Giannis has been amazing.

188
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: He's just playing one on five most of the time

189
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: out there.

190
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Thomas walk up thing, which was awesome

191
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: for them in this game because he hit so many shots.

192
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: He gave him the balance that he needed. Yanis was

193
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: given the balance that he needed finally in this one.

194
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: That was it was a weird performance by Australia just

195
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: to give him open shot after open shot, and finally

196
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: he was just able to knock them down. It's just

197
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: hard to see that happen again against Germany because they

198
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: are so tough. They played so physical in their last

199
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: game against France. Just coming off that win, that winning

200
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: championship team last year. Just being this team with all

201
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: this continuity with a Canadian head coach. I mean, it's

202
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: it just feels like, yeah, you can charge it, charge

203
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: of this game. I'm with you. But luckily we're here

204
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: for me. For us, we got to get up early

205
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: for our kids. So I get just get up super

206
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: early because kids are in Atlanta here, they just start

207
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: school so freaking early. They like to get it going

208
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: super duper early. So I will be doing that because

209
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to see Yanis in this potential last game

210
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: for him, because it has been awesome for him. He

211
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: loves the Olympics so much. He's talked about it so much.

212
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: He's just he talks about it like I love seeing

213
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: all the countries in the cafeteria, and it is true,

214
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's in the athletes village, and like when

215
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: I got to go to the Olympics, That's what I

216
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: loved about it too. I love all these videos of

217
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: Ben Golliver, our friend Ben Golliver taking videos of people

218
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: just dancing, because it's just so many countries getting together

219
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: the most and for any sporty event in the world.

220
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: And he said, I can't stop smiling because he's just

221
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: so happy. He told our man Sam Amy has got

222
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: a great article on The Athletic about it. It's it

223
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: was fun so oh.

224
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: I would say credit to Grease.

225
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: I think of all of the Nike set of uniforms,

226
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: you know, like USA wears Nike uniforms, Canada wears them

227
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: as well. They're all the same set for everybody, just

228
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: the stripe down the side. I think Greece's baby blues

229
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: are the best looking ones of all of them.

230
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: I agree, I totally agree. This is a great color.

231
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: Great color. All right, let's move on to the other

232
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: game on this side of the bracket. In the quarterfinals,

233
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Canada will face France. They're going to Perie. They leave

234
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: from Leela, France in the north of the country. They're

235
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: going to Parias. All of these teams or all these

236
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: games are now in Paris. So Canada undefeated against France

237
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: two and one. What do you got here, Trey?

238
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: I think this should be the game of the quarterfinals,

239
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: and depending on how things go, might be the game

240
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: of the tourney. They like to say styles make fights.

241
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: I think Canada, with their perimeter based attack, kind of

242
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: goes on both sides of the ball, right Like most

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: of their scoring comes from their guard play, and they

244
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: also get great defensive contributions from everybody from Shay Dort,

245
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks to Nikhil Alexander Walker. They're just a team

246
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: that's built with incredible playmaking on both sides from the perimeter. Meanwhile, France,

247
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: they're built around their two bigs in Victor and Rudy Gobert.

248
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be an interesting game to watch,

249
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: plus a home court elimination game, like the crowds for

250
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: France have already been incredible. Now they're playing in potentially

251
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 3: their last game. Move into Paris should be an awesome environment,

252
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: and I think France does some things well that can

253
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: at least maybe make things challenging for Canada. France a

254
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: pretty solid offensive rebounding team, and if you saw the

255
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: game against Spain, which I'm sure you did, task seventeen

256
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: offensive rebounds for the Spanish team that turned into fourteen

257
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: second chance points. France is bigger than Canada, so if

258
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: they get some decent three point shooting and they crush

259
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: the glass, this one I think could be a bit

260
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: of a dogfight for sure.

261
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: I think there's the natural thing of a basketball team

262
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: coming off a bad game like they had against Germany

263
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: where they were just out physical. Physical was the name

264
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: of the game for Germany, and France has to be

265
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: looking at that and saying we can be better than that.

266
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: And you're at home, you're going to the big city.

267
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters Canada being in a

268
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: different arena, but yeah, the rebounding problems are the only

269
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: weakness for Canada because they are smaller. They gave up

270
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: those seventeen offensive boards to Spain. I mean that was

271
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: almost half of Spain's misses. So now Yeah, Wenby and

272
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Gobert should be able to grab those. And that being said,

273
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean Canada is the better team and the guard

274
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: play is so much in favor of Canada over France

275
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: that they should be able to score a lot even

276
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: though you're gonna have Gobert and Webb and Yama in

277
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: the middle. They should from whether it's from obviously Shay

278
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: or the Dylan Brooks event or r J Barret, who's

279
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: been awesome with twenty one per game. They're just gonna

280
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: find somebody to score and hopefully for them outscore this

281
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,479
Speaker 1: French team.

282
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

283
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: To me, Canada's offense is much more consistent. They do

284
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: a great job of turning defense to offense as well.

285
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: You saw Shay Gil just Alexander getting steals at half court,

286
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: sticking his tongue out to the crowd or to the

287
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: bench as he goes in for the hoop. This guy

288
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: is very tongue forward right now. France, on the other side,

289
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to hope that playing in Paris does

290
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: give them a home court advantage. They shoot the three

291
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: a little bit better than Canada, at least thus far

292
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: in the tournament. They average ten point seven makes per

293
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: game thirty seven percent. Canada meanwhile just seven point seven

294
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: makes per game at thirty four percent. So I think

295
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: the mix for France to pull off an upset would

296
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: be get super hot from three playing at home, and

297
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: hope that Canada has one of those nights where they

298
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: just can't buy a bucket from outside because they're such

299
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: a good scoring team in the lane that France is

300
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: going to have a hard time taking away everything despite

301
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: the fact that they got two seven foot four guys

302
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: hanging out back there.

303
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: You like that tongue celebration, test.

304
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: I will be watching for the tongue. Yeah, yeah, I

305
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: like uh, I like new she in international game games,

306
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: he looks he looks different. Yeah, I'm good with a tongue,

307
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: especially yeah, because he's got a tongue. A guy who

308
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: doesn't look different is Dylan Brooks. If you watch him

309
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: in the national anthems, he is looking into the crowd.

310
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: He was turned away from his team, Like his team

311
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: was all lined up one way, he was turned the

312
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: other way. Because he's got this thing that he does

313
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA where he looks for somebody in the

314
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: arena to I guess motivate him, which is just really weird.

315
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I find a really weird and international play in NBA play. Sure,

316
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: get mad, but yeah, I like this new Shay. I

317
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: like this weird Brooks's he plays at his best here

318
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: he Phoever Brooks is best. Unfortunately for Canada, they haven't

319
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: seen the best of Jamal Murray. He's only hit one

320
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: three in this tourney. He looked a little bit better

321
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: in the last game. Maybe he's injured, but it didn't

322
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: really matter because Nemhard came off the bench and dropped

323
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: eighteen points and two big shots towards the end. So

324
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: they just have enough guys. They just have better guards,

325
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. So it's just one of those.

326
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: As you said, Francis has to get a little lucky

327
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: with threes and more possessions, really what it comes down to,

328
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: and those possessions matter even more in forty minutes of play.

329
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: If you get an extra possession of matters even more

330
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: because there's just a fewer minutes for the talent, air

331
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: quotes talent to win out.

332
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, exactly right.

333
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 3: The only other real note I have on this one

334
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: is Canada bounces Spain and that means Rudy Fernandez no

335
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: longer going to be playing basketball anymore, finally retiring after

336
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: years in the NBA.

337
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: And six Olympics.

338
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: Thankfully, I didn't hear any of that news for Sergio Ewle,

339
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: so I assume he'll somehow be back in twenty twenty

340
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: eight as well, playing eighty five years old or whatever

341
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: he is.

342
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that man is old. Yeah. It was strange to

343
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: see Canada eliminate Spain two years in a row in

344
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: the World Cup. In this one, it's just it's a different,

345
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: different era for Canada basketball. They're just so good. It

346
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: is sad to see Fernandez go, although watching Santi al Dama,

347
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy is the future of Spanish basketball. Guys,

348
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: this guy's good. The guy from the Memphis Grizzlies who's

349
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: in a rotation now with Zach Edy, Jaron Jackson and

350
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Clark, who will be back someday. But he's got handles, obviously,

351
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: can hit threes. He had six threes in his first

352
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: game in the Olympics, twenty sven points. Then he had

353
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: nineteen to twelve, and then he was kind of quiet

354
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: against Canada. But he just looks like he's evolved with

355
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: his handles. It's all for me, anything from you, Trey

356
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: or I guess the only.

357
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: Other thing I would say, I mean, you hit on

358
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray. He you know, he's a he's a triple

359
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: single right now. Nobody likes that he's like five and

360
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: a half points per game in the tournament you mentioned,

361
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: He's basically been out of sorts for the majority of

362
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: the Olympics here. He was injured during the playoffs with

363
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: the Nuggets. But I just having a hard time understanding

364
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: why he's struggling so much with this team. I know

365
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 3: they do have a lot more continuity with other players,

366
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, Murray kind of in and out and in

367
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: this summer dealing with his shin splints playing with the Nuggets,

368
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: it just doesn't look like he's found his place maybe

369
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: too much, like just sitting and waiting off the ball.

370
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: But it's SGA's team. He's the one with the ball,

371
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: he's the one with the tongue. So Murray's got to

372
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 3: find a way to play off of him, similar to

373
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: how he plays off of Jokics during the regular season.

374
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: Because I think he's an awesome one point five basically,

375
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 3: but we haven't seen him be that thus far for Canada.

376
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he's got the nuggets thing of just waiting

377
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: until the playoffs, and these are his playoffs coming out.

378
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: We'll see that, esh. I know, we didn't get anything

379
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: from you from Greece, Germany, So anything to add here

380
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: to Canada France.

381
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 4: Just that what Trey was saying, like, really, when you

382
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: when you look at Canada and how deep they are,

383
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 4: everybody on their team, Like we're talking about Jamal Murray

384
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 4: as kind of like the last guy, like he's the

385
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: afterthought of the entire team. So when you're mentioning somebody

386
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: like Jamal Murray at the end of the conversation, like

387
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: the other team might be in trouble. They're bigger France,

388
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: is that's a good way to put it, you know,

389
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 4: but you know they're a lot bigger. They shoot the

390
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: three ball a little bit better. But just the way

391
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 4: that Canada's rolling right now and the way that they've

392
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 4: looked in the tournament and everybody has not even played

393
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: what they're capable of playing, I just think that's a

394
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 4: little bit scary for the home team, France. So I

395
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 4: don't know, it's gonna be a good game, and I'm

396
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: really excited to see it, but I don't know.

397
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: I don't know you're saying even as is you're taking

398
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray over Nando de Colo.

399
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if that's a hot take or not,

400
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna take Jamal Murray or Fernando de Colo.

401
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: Canada's got like Canada's got like six NBA guards, and

402
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 3: if Murray's playing the poorest, you would still take that

403
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: as like the third guard in France. I'm with you,

404
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: it's gonna have to be a Fournier out of body experience.

405
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, if we get the FEEBA Fournier experience,

406
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: and then it might be a little bit more of

407
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: a competition there. But I just I just think Canada

408
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: is going to be a little bit to overcome for.

409
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: For France, yeah, they just haven't played their best game yet.

410
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I worry about, is that backs

411
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: against the wall here for France. This is the time

412
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: to do it, you have to do it now, and

413
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: they just played horribly. So maybe it happens. I don't

414
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: know if we see fi Beforeigner, I don't know if

415
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: we see a Nando de Colo performance. Wenby has been

416
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of sticky with the ball, which is

417
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: a little weird for him, but I just think overall

418
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: they got it. They kind of like we mentioned all

419
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: these names because they all have to play well. That's

420
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: their problem, all right. The third of the fourth quarterfinals

421
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: will get to here, Serbia VERSUS Australia. Probably the least

422
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: talked about game, I'd say on at least this side

423
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: of the Atlantic. Here Serbia Australia. What do you think, Trey?

424
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 3: I think this should be competitive, just because Australia has

425
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: played I guess maybe the three closest games by any

426
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: team that won by twelve and ten.

427
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: One loss was by six.

428
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: I'm surprised to see that Jack Landale is their leading

429
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: scorer in the tournament so far, but I guess Giddy's

430
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: a bit of a playmaker. Dyson Daniels is a playmaker

431
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: as well, and Jock has just been eating off their dropoff.

432
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: So he's had a great tournament.

433
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 3: I think Australia is good enough and talented enough that

434
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: they can play a close game against any team.

435
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: Serbia I think has had a pretty strange road.

436
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: Obviously, they lost against the US in Game one, lost

437
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: by twenty six points, but they recovered pretty well after that,

438
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: to the point where they now have a plus twenty

439
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: six point differential heading into the knockout round, somehow better

440
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 3: than Canada's point differential, even though they went three to zero.

441
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: Obviously the group of death versus the Group of playing

442
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: in the same group of the United States. The bad

443
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: thing for Serbia is that they ended up on the

444
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: same side as Team USA in the draw here, so

445
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 3: they might be meeting in the semi finals, assuming USA

446
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: gets through in Serbia gets through. But man after the

447
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 3: USA game, Serbia has looked pretty tough. Bogdan Bogdanovic their

448
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 3: leading scories averaging nineteen a game. Jokic is right there

449
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 3: at eighteen point seven, but then Mitchich who plays for

450
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: the Charlotte Hornets, he's at thirteen a game.

451
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: In Philip petrosev.

452
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: Nine point seven, this is the second leading scoring team

453
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: in the tournament so far.

454
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: They get great shots.

455
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: Their potential weak point, I guess, is that we haven't

456
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: seen great shooting from the outside from the Serbian team yet.

457
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: They are only shooting thirty three percent from three Australia

458
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 3: shooting thirty nine percent, but they don't take a ton

459
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: of them, so I think that that's a potential swing

460
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: stat here, this I think is maybe I don't know,

461
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: it's either Australia or France to me or the best

462
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: chances of pulling an upset in the quarterfinals, but I'm

463
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: probably favoring Serbia. They've looked really good after the stumble

464
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: against the US for sure.

465
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: As you said, bugged Down by Danvich has been their

466
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: their spark shooting threes. He hit six threes in the

467
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: last game. They need bugg down to play that way,

468
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: and it is one of those teams that their top

469
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: guys need to play really well, and seeing bog Dan

470
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: drop thirty is good for them. And then Jokic, I

471
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: think is getting ready for the elimination round. He had

472
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: a good twenty two to thirteen and four assists. And

473
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: Mitchich who I always I always like watching whenever his

474
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: minutes come up in the NBA. I can't believe how

475
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: old that guy is. And he's just gonna be like

476
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: the old guy for the Charlotte Horns this year. He's

477
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: like in his thirties.

478
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: It's like ancient. He's an ancient.

479
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Thirty years Yeah.

480
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: Quite, who is this guy able to run up and

481
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: down the cork?

482
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I do see them. They seem to be

483
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: peaking at the right time, if that makes sense. Bogee

484
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: shooting fifty two point nine percent from three right now.

485
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: Thanks to Ash for pulling up that stat. That's a

486
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: good stat because he finally had his super hot game

487
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: and we saw him last year in the World Cup.

488
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: There is a Foeba bogie that exists, so he's he

489
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: he needs to be hot against this Australia team. As

490
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 1: I said, they had a real, really weird game against

491
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: Grease where Gety was bad, five turnovers. He was doing

492
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: other things, lots of boards, lots of assists, eleven boards,

493
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: six assists, but he's too freight from the floor. Dyson

494
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: Daniels four turnovers for him, although yeah he did other

495
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: things a couple threes and eight assists, but they were

496
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: just off and they were bad defensively. It may bode

497
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: well for them that they have a bad game and

498
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: then are able to go up against this team that

499
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: they beat in exhibition play a little bit before the Olympics.

500
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: So there's that, and they have they also just have

501
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: a lot of weapons. Patty Mills was awesome in that

502
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: game when they played Serbia, and I mentioned all these

503
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: guys like Dyson Daniels was great, always hitting threes. He's

504
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: ready to come here to Atlanta and do some great things.

505
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: Triple D. Dyson daniels defense is always there.

506
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to drop his middle name,

507
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: Dwayne or something.

508
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just made that up, that triple D because

509
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: that's not bad. I wonder if Guy Fierry can do

510
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: the diners, drive ins, and dives with him, Like, I

511
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: don't know if they still make that show. Do they

512
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: still make that show? I don't know.

513
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: I mean it's always on, but I don't know if

514
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 3: they're new episodes. You know, guy figured out the formula.

515
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: If you look the same in every episode, nobody can

516
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: tell what year it's made. Pretty smart stuff.

517
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got no idea, just like I had no

518
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: idea mich He looks young, but no idea. He is

519
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: thirty and Dyce Daniels he's he's a young guy. He's

520
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: helping out. I don't know this this team, Like you

521
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: just said, there's a good chance that they could upset Serbia,

522
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: but Serbia has been coming on as of late.

523
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: Because good Yeah, exactly.

524
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: Bogdan is great. Great comment here from Greg in the

525
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 3: streaming team. I love walking watching Bogdanovic in the international play.

526
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: He's a beast, absolutely he is. We should at some

527
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 3: point do a top five players who are even better

528
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: in FIBA international basketball. Bogdanovic would have a very strong

529
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: case for number one. I'd probably throw Giddy in the

530
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: mix as well. Who else you're putting on there, Carmelo, Anthony,

531
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: Andrea Guidala if we're going historical, I don't know, top

532
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: five guys who were better in FEEBA. That's something maybe

533
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: something we can do on a scary show.

534
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Fob Patty Is is awesome, definitely, So yeah.

535
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: Shrewder for sure is awesome. Man.

536
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: That guy was playing with incredible swag against the French team.

537
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: I think he hit two look away threes where he

538
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 3: shot the ball way up into the raptors looked away,

539
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 3: had enough time to look back, just to make sure.

540
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, he probably is.

541
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: Uh, he plays a lot differently phoebe as well.

542
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Before we move on to the last one, Esh, anything

543
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: here other than you providing a great stat about bogged

544
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: down Bogdanovic being on fire from three.

545
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 4: First of all the Diners, was it Diner's drive through

546
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: whatever it is? The d Show still still run in

547
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: the apparently kind of look it up, you know, still

548
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: going on. He's got a new show.

549
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: But anyways, guys grocery games.

550
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: I just think Australia maybe better all around team. Obviously

551
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: you guys alluded to it. I guess my big worry

552
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 4: for Australia is being able to Guardio Kitch. You know,

553
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 4: you could just put those big numbers nearly a triple

554
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: double of course, and then you know, be a bogie.

555
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: If he can keep shooting like he's shooting, then they

556
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 4: can be hard to beat. But I just I just wonder,

557
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 4: even though Jack Landell is having a great tournament leading

558
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: score for Australia, like you mentioned, can he Guardio Kitch

559
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 4: down low?

560
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Can he do anything?

561
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: Because you know, I mean NBA centers like you know,

562
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 4: not to say that, like Landell is not an NBA center,

563
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: but the big name NBA centers have trouble Guardio Kitch.

564
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: In the NBA.

565
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: Why would Landel be a good person to stop him

566
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: in FEBA. I don't know, but uh, I guess we'll

567
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: see what happens feb Jock.

568
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean he is better. He guarded at him pretty

569
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: well last year when they won the title. When Denver

570
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: won the title. He was coming off the bench for

571
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: Phoenix behind eighton. He was good. You know, we got

572
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: into foul trouble, but he is pretty physical with him.

573
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: So there's that.

574
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: It's what you got to tune in.

575
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Man.

576
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: Nobody else is pulling the twenty twenty three playoffs to

577
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: talk about the quarterfinals, knockout round and.

578
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: Jack Landale's bench minutes. We got to go back and

579
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: break him down.

580
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: I love it all right, last one here. Now it's

581
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: not really talked about. It's not that sexy because it

582
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: sure feels like the US should pummel pommel horse Brazil.

583
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: Come on, basically they have They're going to destroy this team.

584
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: I I know him. It's it's just it's a little

585
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: presumptive to say that maybe Bristil's got a shot, But

586
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: what do you think here? Does does Brazil have any chance?

587
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of pummeling and pommeling, it's gonna be on

588
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: Team USA to not pull a Steve and sleep walk

589
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: through three quarters of things before turning.

590
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: It on the end.

591
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: I think that is the only way that Team USA

592
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: actually loses this game against Brazil. Look, if you get

593
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: the number one seed, you're gonna be playing the worst

594
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: team and it feels like that. So I think the

595
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: key for USA is to stay focused in this game,

596
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: because thus far in the tournament they've won by twenty six, seventeen,

597
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 3: and twenty one. You look at the bracket, you've got

598
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: Serbia or Australia looming in the semi finals. It could

599
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: be very easy to overlook against overlook a team in

600
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: Brazil that shoots the best percentage from three point in

601
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: the tournament so far, shooting forty five point three percent

602
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: from three. Now they only average eleven makes to USA's

603
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: thirteen makes. Obviously, Team USA plays pretty fast, gets up

604
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: a lot of three pointers. But if they're having a

605
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: bad shooting night, and if Brazil is on fire and

606
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: Bruno Koboklo is getting every offensive rebound off the misses

607
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: from Brazil, maybe it turns into a scary affair for

608
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: Team USA. But if they come in with the proper mindset,

609
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: they should be able to handle this one.

610
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: Bruno first, great Steve Pommel reference, great stuff. Bruno Koboco

611
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: had thirty three and seventeen rebounds against Japan in their

612
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: last game to get them here because they were zero

613
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: and to having to play both France and Germany, two

614
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: good teams. They're able to beat Japan. Yeah, I'm gonna

615
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: be watching Bruno. That's gonna be my watch for the

616
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Brazil side, because yeah, they have to hit threes like

617
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: they did against Japan, they had seventeen threes. They have

618
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: to sort of out possession of the US team. They

619
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: kind of just have to get some extra offensive rebounds

620
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: because that does happen to this American team if you

621
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: look at all their stats through exhibition and through this tournament,

622
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: and they just have to fire away from three point land.

623
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: Both Bruno. Another old guy who's got to be coming

624
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: to his end in Marcel Wherre does play for Brazil

625
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: at forty one, he's the oldest guy on this tournament.

626
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's the Santoses. Are they look they do

627
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: look great, both Yoga Santos. I just in Gie Santos,

628
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: who is the only active NBA player, Is that right? Yeah?

629
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: The only active NBA player on the Brazil team. It's

630
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna be I.

631
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: Heard Felicio is coming back. Cristiano Felicio Bulls Legend locked

632
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 3: down a big four year deal from them back in

633
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: back in the day. It's good to see him running around.

634
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: Good to see how Ol metto back Marcelino huerked Us.

635
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 3: I love these Brazilian guys, just.

636
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: Not for this game.

637
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: Man.

638
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: That Bruno game though thirty three and seventeen, all I

639
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: could think was Man fran Fracillo was cooking away from

640
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: being two years away. Now Bruno prime, squarely in the

641
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: prime of his career. Twenty eight he is.

642
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: But then I look the.

643
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: Rest of his game logs. Task he has six total

644
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: points against France and Germany. He had one good game,

645
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: but if he has another good game, watch out.

646
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: He's two games away from being two games away. I

647
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: guess if he has another good game, Oh friend, yeah, yeah,

648
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: he was. He's played all over the place, but he

649
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: plays in Brazil now and he's gonna have to be

650
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: really good.

651
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: I guess he's a dunk machine now. He does all

652
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: his damage inside. So need a big performance from USA's

653
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: trio of BIGS and Embiid, BAM and Anthony Davis, who

654
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 3: have all been really, really good. I mean, Embiid has

655
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: had not any moments thus far, but you know he's.

656
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: Starting at least.

657
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Embiid was starting now again after the sitting in

658
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: game two. He's played in game three and he you know,

659
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: he was he was doing the wrestler let me hear

660
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: you boo type of thing. Yeah, getting everybody pumped. He

661
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: played his best game. And the scary part is, like

662
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about in our last show, the Americans

663
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: haven't played their best game. They didn't have a great

664
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: first quarter and then destroyed Puerto Rico in court number two,

665
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: and then they were just so good in court number three.

666
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Like Lebron came off the bench in quarter number two

667
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: and I had forgotten, Oh yeah, Lebron. Lebron had he

668
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: was sitting, so he came back off the bench and

669
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: I just thought, oh yeah, Lebron's here, and then he

670
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: just like destroyed Puerto Rico with the behind the back

671
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: pass to Embiid. He had six assists in that first half.

672
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, these guys are just they're getting rolled. They're

673
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: rolling for this elimination round. And Drew Holiday sat but

674
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Steve curR said if it was the metal round, he

675
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: would have played. So they were just keeping them fresh,

676
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: I guess, because they're ready. And then they do have

677
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: the easier side of the bracket because they were so

678
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: good in the first round. They have Brazil and then

679
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: it's the winner of Serbia Australia and then whoever comes

680
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: out on the other side, whether it's Canada, France, or Germany.

681
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be grease. So there

682
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: you go.

683
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 3: Who do you think heading into the quarterfinals, into the

684
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: knockout round, who are your give me your five medal contenders.

685
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: Five medal contenders, Well, the American The Americans lead the way.

686
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: The Germans I think should be second, along with Canada

687
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: as a two A, and then France Australia. I don't know.

688
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: The four or five to me are kind of up

689
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: in the air.

690
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I think I think you nailed it.

691
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.

692
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 3: If I would have France, I would have okay, so

693
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: I would have USA. Tier one, Tier two is Canada

694
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: and Germany, and then I would have Serbia would be nine,

695
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: number four, followed by likely France, I guess.

696
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: But I think Serbia is a notch ahead of them.

697
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.

698
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 3: I should have but they got Serbia's got the tough

699
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: side of the bracket, you know, potentially running into USA

700
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: in a round two.

701
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: The bronze medal game is going to be a fun one.

702
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's going to be good. Anything to add

703
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 1: on this US versus Brazil.

704
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 4: Esh, let's just go USA. My big question I guess

705
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: for USA here is who's getting the DNP Because we're

706
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 4: in the middle round and you know, we've had all this,

707
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 4: Oh Jason Tatum didn't play, and oh, well, actually we're

708
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 4: just gonna sit certain players in certain games. But now

709
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 4: we're in the middle round, this is really counts. We

710
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: can't have any upsets and come home, you know, a

711
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 4: shame like the three on three men's team.

712
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: So who's gonna not play?

713
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 4: That's the question.

714
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: That's a great point.

715
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: Who is getting the DMP and will there be more

716
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: than one? You know going into the knockout round. Maybe

717
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 3: not against Brazil, but definitely as they get further into

718
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 3: the tournament. You would have to imagine Steve Kurr is

719
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 3: not going to be playing ten eleven.

720
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: Guys, exactly.

721
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: Cut the rotation down to eight or nine. Are we

722
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about some of the top seventy five

723
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: all time players getting DMPs in their prime in the Olympics.

724
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna have to shorten it up some.

725
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 4: And then, like you know, you guys just alluded to

726
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 4: it with their three man rotation. We all know who

727
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 4: is not playing the best out of those threes. So

728
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 4: even though he dugged France and joined Team USA, will

729
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 4: Embiid be getting less minutes here? Will Jason Tatum be

730
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 4: back on the bench again because he's a little bit

731
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 4: redundant on the wing with Kevin Durant Lebron.

732
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

733
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 4: I just feel like in the long run, it doesn't matter.

734
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: They're gonna if they win gold, you know, everybody will

735
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: be happy. But at the same time, just for storylines

736
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 4: and just for people at the athletic to write about,

737
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: who was going to get the DMP.

738
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the thing that's getting the headlines, that's

739
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: getting the clicks at times. But doesn't matter. It was

740
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: good for the Americans to see their best Embiid game

741
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: in game number three, but he hasn't been incredible. And

742
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing about Kurr. He can just say, okay, Embid,

743
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: you started poorly, like he's already done in this series

744
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: or in this tournament where he played three minutes. He said,

745
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: all right, Anthony Davis comes in and soaks up all

746
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: your minutes, like you just said, Kevin Durant that dude

747
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: comes off the bench and Anthony Edwards comes off the

748
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: bench and he was so good, he had his best game.

749
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know who says, but I don't

750
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: think it's a worry for this team.

751
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 3: Maybe they just throw twelve ping pong balls into a

752
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 3: hat or like a tumbler sort of thing. It's got

753
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 3: every player's name on it. We're gonna draw one. See

754
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: who it is, Oh, Devin Booker, sorry you're sitting today.

755
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: See against Serbia.

756
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: One thing that I'm looking forward to, Actually this is

757
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: totally not Olympics related, but I guess it's because it's

758
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: a little dry when it comes to NBA stuff. I'm

759
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing if Lowry Markinin signs an extension

760
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: with the Utah Jazz because it's August fifth and tomorrow

761
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Bart Marketing becomes eligible to renegotiate and extend that contract

762
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: with the Jazz. Now I think it's easy to forget

763
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: for me, it is that right now he's only on

764
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: a contract for this coming year at eighteen million nothing,

765
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: So August six he can become eligible to make way

766
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: more money. And then the question becomes, are they just

767
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: gonna run the same sort of team back with Lowry

768
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: Markinen and everybody else, or do they trade Lowry at

769
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: his peak here because if they do, this is a

770
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: weird thing. If they do sign him, they can't trade

771
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: him until six months later, which is the exact date

772
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: of the trade deadline, so they can only trade him

773
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: one day this season if they do sign him. So

774
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to August sixth to see whether or

775
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: not they sign him, and then if they don't sign him,

776
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: then he is also eligible to be traded, although you

777
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: have to match numbers somewhat, so you know, you get

778
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: less guys coming back or cheaper guys. I should say

779
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: less guys cheaper guys coming back. So that's that.

780
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: Because I know you're gonna be up at five am

781
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: tomorrow for Germany versus Grease. I imagine when you check your

782
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: phone first thing, you're going to see Lowry markin and

783
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: has signed a gigantic deal with the Utah Jazz just

784
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: because of the six month waiting period. I don't think

785
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: the Jazz want to be competing for all tenth or

786
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 3: eleventh seed for the third straight season, so I would

787
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 3: guess they sign market In and then he is just

788
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 3: back in trade rumors until the trade deadline. Will Danny

789
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: Ainge actually make the move. We shall see, but I

790
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: think Lowry's getting the big deal tomorrow.

791
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call, especially with you see when

792
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: you see all the numbers flying around for other players.

793
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: When Larry Markinen has been damn good the last couple

794
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: of years. He became an also for the first time,

795
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: and he was injured this past year a good amount.

796
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: But he played fifty five games and he's still in

797
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: his primo twenty seven years of age. So yes, I

798
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: agree with you that he'll he'll probably get the deal

799
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: before we go. I just wanted to give a little

800
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: congrats to Dwyane Wade because he's done. He called his

801
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: first games and then he went home. Uh. He was

802
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: saying at the end of the US Puerto Rico game,

803
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm out of here. And it was really

804
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: funny the way he said that he was he was

805
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: doing it. He said, I'm done, and and Noah Eagle

806
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: was talking to him about it, and then he said, yep, yeah, yeah,

807
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna popa Nicolau out of here as soon as

808
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: this is done. Like what this guy just gave us

809
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: a Greek guy reference, Like I had to sit down,

810
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: and then I also thought about no dunks and the

811
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: starters and the basketball Jones way back, because every time

812
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: Sergio Yule hit a basket, he dropped a you you're

813
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: that soldier boy. So that's exactly what we used to do.

814
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: And he's like, you know, somewhat of a similar age

815
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: to us. He likes the same music, I guess because

816
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: he just kept dropped.

817
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 3: When he hit Crank that Soldier Boy. That's when I

818
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 3: knew Dwayne Wade was also a geriatric millennial. I was like,

819
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: that is an old person song now. And I can

820
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: tell you that factually because I was a wet at

821
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 3: a wedding this weekend and they played Soldier Boy.

822
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: What at the wedding?

823
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: Crank that has now been around so long that it's

824
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 3: a wedding song on par with the Cha Cha Slide

825
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: or the Cupid Shuffle. I do have to say I

826
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: was in a wedding at a wedding in Chicago. Devin

827
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 3: Hester famous for doing the Soldier Boy before he would

828
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: return a punt return or a kickoff return. Not enough

829
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 3: Chicago Bears fans know the full Soldier Boy crank that dance.

830
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: There's still some tutorials. I'm sure you can find on

831
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 3: YouTube each one. Teach one, pass it down.

832
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: Please.

833
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: When people say that song is old, I usually think, like, okay,

834
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: it's from like two thousand and five, this one's this

835
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: one is old. Yeah, it's older than I thought I

836
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: thought it was. I thought it would be like ten

837
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: years old. But it's two thousand and seven. That's old.

838
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 3: Well, I mean even two thousand and five is an

839
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: old song. I mean older than two thousand and seven.

840
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe.

841
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: I actually would have thought that Soldier Boy got popular

842
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 3: when I was in college, but I guess he was

843
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: right after that.

844
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: A lot of Kesh at this wedding as well too.

845
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 3: Tass really yeah, I was the only one yelling Playoffs

846
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: during Timber though.

847
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: Classic classic NBA theme song for the playoffs.

848
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: So Wade is done?

849
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 3: Who is taking over as broadcaster for this round?

850
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: I do not know? Hmm, no idea, Esh, do you know,

851
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: because I know you're a Wade Noah Eagle fan. I
