0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.040

<v Speaker 2>Netflix of course won't.

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:56.640

<v Speaker 2>Kind of love it.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of love it because here's the thing, You're

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna need to go behind the scenes.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>That Tour de Front docu series fucking lit.

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>They're like, Hey, you're gonna be the errand boy in

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>this this like round of the Tour Pronsey. He's like, actually, no,

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna try to win this myself. And

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody's like what, Yeah, I can't wait for the Rudy

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>gobert Ist straight up choke hold and us have to.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Figure out in the locker room what was going on.

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Steve Kerr is gonna have to really like give us

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>some behind the scenes footage because brand like I got

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 1>just very much. Also see Cam Thomas being followed around

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Miller and building a show around these personalities that

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 1>we will love and that we will hate. Moving on,

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>everyone and their mother has heard Mavericks announcer Brian Demerez's

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>epic two minute rant taking down James Harden.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 2>It went very viral. It was what everyone was talking about.

0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Everyone sort of seemed to love it, except for Sports Southwest,

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>who decided to pull down the video clip because it

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>went against the company's values. Isn't this the same company

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that went dark for an entire week and wasn't able

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>to broadcast the games, like the one critical component of

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.959
<v Speaker 1>being a broadcast partner, And this is what you say

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>is against the company's values. How about what is against

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>companies values is like not actually putting the games.

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Out for the fans. Are you serious?

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 1>Is this the same company, by the way, that's going bankrupt?

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>And then like offered their fans vouchers because for seven

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>days the app was down.

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the Clippers were very mad.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>They're probably like, hey, Bally, your broadcast partner, do not

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>allow your guy Brian de Maris to be outside of

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>his lane talking shit about our new point guard.

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>We can't have all that. We know everybody already hates

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 2>James Harden.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyrese Haliburn also in the news. He is just shooting

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the leather off the ball, but he also got profiled

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>by the Ringer. Fully, how good is Halliburton Miles Turner

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>who was on the trade block before Hallie got there.

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>They hated hated Miles Turner in Indiana and now somehow

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>they love him. He said this about Halle. We were

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>playing at the time with some of our G League

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>centers and some guys were trying to earn minutes and

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, and they were finishing with twenty and ten.

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, twenty and ten. These dudes that hardly

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>know what direction to run, and Halliburton makes them look

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>like starters.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>No wonder Jalen Smith is getting minutes? What does that say?

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Also about like where we're at on Jeris Walker, how

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>come he can't get any playing time. My favorite thing

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>from the Ringer article was this tidbit. It had never

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>really occurred to Halliburton to slow down. He was taught

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>with the game as an open floor, and he learned

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to read it with the help of a PlayStation. Honestly,

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my BOOP knowledge is knowing how to

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>play coming from video games. When you're playing two K

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're on that camera angle where you can see

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>everything ahead of you, that's how I.

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Think sometimes that's that's ridiculous Tyrese.

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Haliburton single handedly giving every video gamer on Earth a

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>common dub being like, yo, if you play two K,

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>your basketball IQ through the roof.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>He's not the only one who said the same thing.

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Jaron Jackson said, I feel like I get my shot

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>block timing from two K, and I'm being serious. When

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I was first in the league, I was swiping a

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.679
<v Speaker 1>lot they get by you in two K. You figure

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>out the timing when you're gonna block shots. Video games

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.679
<v Speaker 1>very important key pieces for film study for NBA players. Finally,

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Lemon Pepperloo our Man Lou Williams six Men of the

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Year God retired this year after a long and successful

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>NBA career, and he's now making the rounds saying crazy

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>ass shit the latest. Did you know that Trey Young

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>had a podcast?

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Because I didn't.

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>He went on Trey Young's podcast and said this. We

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>respect this chip, so we just kind of took our

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>foot off the gas. He is referencing the three to

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>one lead that the Clipper Blue to the Nuggets in

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the second round of the Bubble. Remember the Bubble That

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>was where Lemon pepperlu got his nickname Lemon Pepper Lou

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>because he went to Magic City for the Wings during

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a pandemic when they were not supposed to leave the property.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You know who will not love hearing this, Kawhi and

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Paul George, who now are going to be having to

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:20.239
<v Speaker 1>feel questions.
