WEBVTT - NBA Opening Week Recap

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check with just a quick.

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:10.319
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of the Heat Check, we are three

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>days into the NBA season, and there's already a lot

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 2>that we can tell. For example, the Lakers were eliminated

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>from the playoffs after.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Their first two games, mathematically eliminated. Sorry to say that

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>it is true.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>The Jazz dropped a nasty surprise for the Nuggets. The

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Pels blew the doors off of the Bluff Barclay Center.

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Jaw did a ton of jaw things. We'll get into

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>all of that, of course, with along with some news

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>from around the league, because guess what, the NBA is back.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>So do me a favor, Nick and drop that beat man.

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>So much happened in the first three days of the season,

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be impossible to recap it all. So I'm

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna just pop around league a little bit. I'm gonna

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>highlight some of the things that really interested me. First

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and foremost. Twenty seven nine five and two blocks, twenty

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:20.639
<v Speaker 2>seven points, nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and thirty

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>five minutes of action. Do you have any idea who

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>that stat line belongs to? If you said Embiid or Jokic,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 2>hell even Zion coming back. No one would probably blink

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 2>a nine. But that, folks, is what Paolo Banko put

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>up in his first game as an NBA player. Shsh

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I tried to tell y'all he was much better than

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>everybody else. Two things happened in their opener against Detroit.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>One was surprising, the other was not unsurprising. Thing is

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that Detroit was down big thew Orlando Magic blew a

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>huge lead, ended up losing the game outright by four,

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the exact line that Vegas said, not shocking in the least.

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna probably do that a lot.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>They look good, they fade late, they don't have a

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of talent. It's going to help them through. That's

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>the way it goes. The surprising thing, despite the heightened expectations,

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Paalo somehow exceeded him I don't know, at times the

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>most dominant player on the floor, and that included on

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a team with Kay Cunningham and Jaden Ivy and Jalen

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Duran and all the other random lottery picks that the

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Orlando Magic have. He was eleven for eighteen from the floor.

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Eleven for eighteen.

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 2>He was ten for fifteen in the paint, where he

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty much did whatever the fuck he wanted. Shockingly good debut,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>shocking even for me who loves some Paalo ban Carrol

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 2>with twenty seven points, nine rebounds, five assists. Ben Carroll

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>became just the third number one overall pick since nineteen

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>sixty nine, Nice to record twenty five, five and five

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>in his debut, the others.

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James and Kareem Abdorge.

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Bar He finished eleven of eighteen shooting, like I said,

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>which is the most made field goals by a rookie

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 2>in his debut since again Lebron James in two thousand

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 2>and three.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly, the day of the game, The.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 2>New York Post dropped an article about Polo's experiences as

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a student athlete at Duke, and it was illuminating.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>This is what he said.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I'd feel like, you know, you were a zoo

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>animal or something.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Bro. They would be like, oh God.

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>In class, you'd see him over there whispering about you,

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>like just straight up staring at you.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>First and foremost, that sucks.

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Secondly, though, how many times have I tried to tell

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you how big Palo bn Caaro is, like unnaturally perfect

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>proportioned and six ten, two hundred and something pounds. He

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>is the biggest human I've ever seen, like in terms

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 2>of pound for pound, proportionally size wise. I look at

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>centers sometimes and I'm like, Nope, that guy's not as

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>big as Pala Bin Carrol.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>Nope, that guy's not the biggest pala Goo bing Carol.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>So if I had Powell Ben Carrol in my class, I'd.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Be a little bit shocked too. I'd be like, Wow,

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>how much do you think he can bench press? How

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>much do you think he can deadlift? Also, you would

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>think that at a certain point though, things would get

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more normal, you'd get a little bit

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>more chill. He's sitting two rows down from you, you know,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>five five days a.

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Week or whatever.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>What class do you go to school three days a

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 2>week when you're in college two days a week.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's been a while, but it's kind

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of like.

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>What Zion hinted at about his experience at Duke, where

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you're hyped and you're famous, and you're, let's be honest,

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>very different than the the student body.

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>How shall I say, at Duke?

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, a lot of Yet's at Duke, not a

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of Zions, not a lot of powellos just gonna

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>be honest, so like, truthfully kind of hard to not

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>feel isolated and alone, because, honestly, what do you have

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>in common with some prep school kid from Connecticut who

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>when you're a six six six eight two hundred and

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.359
<v Speaker 2>eighty five pound athletic freak who's on the cover of

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>YIKES i was hoping for. More i'll just say THAT

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 2>i was hoping for a competitive. Match what a rough opening.

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Night New Orleans, pelicans a team that started what one in,

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>thirteen two and twenty?

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>One last?

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Year they went Into barclays and they went To. Poundtown

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 2>they just put the beatdown ON. Kd kyrie and the

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>rest of them, boys one thirty to one oh. Eight

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>let me say that, again The New Orleans pelicans that

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>scraped their way into the plan to be.

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Fair The Brooklyn nets did. Too, uh one thirty to

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>one oh.

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Eight this beatdown included being out rebounded sixty one to thirty,

0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>nine outscored thirty six to four in second chance.

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Points, yeah that'll Get jazz. Beat.

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, question wasn't that why they brought In Ben? Simmons, defense,

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>rebounding playmaking turns out not exactly going as smooth sailing as.

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Possible it's almost like he hasn't played any basketball in a.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>While Steve nash finally decided to tell us the truth

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>in a random press, conference Because lord knows we need

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>a little truth From Steve.

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Nash here and there he Said ben was, Rusty.

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>No, Shit steve he hasn't played a game Since july

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty. One, yes it is currently checks Notes october twenty,

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 2>first twenty twenty. Two ben's line four, points five, rebounds five.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Assists this is like half of What Draymond green average

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>is in his, career but also What Draymond green averaged

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 2>in his first game back, too so that's something interesting

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to think. About he was negative twenty six for the

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>game in a game that they lost by twenty, two

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>so he was actually worse than everyone. ELSE i don't

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>think he's gonna be that, bad let's be. HONEST i

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>think he will figure things. Out i'm more optimistic About

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>ben on this team THAN i am with him With Joel,

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>embiid and we'll talk about why a little bit, later

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>not just because of the, spacing but because it turns

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 2>out they really don't care.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>About one another.

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Whatsoever but the loss against The pelicans probably had more

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>to do with the fact that the shooters are nowhere

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to be Seen Seth curry, Out Joe harris, out both

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 2>coming back from. Injuries ben's gonna have to figure the shit, out,

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>though if they want to go. Anywhere there's a little

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>bit More ben t though a little bit More ben,

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>news So i'll add that into here first and.

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>don't believe that. Whatsoever didn't he skip out on just

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 2>being on the sidelines for the game when he went

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>kyrie when asked about his thoughts On ben fouling out

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.560

<v Speaker 2>we told him in the locker. Room he's a valuable

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 2>piece for us and we need him out there and

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.560

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.360

<v Speaker 2>This have you ever seen those LIKE svu episodes or

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Like law And order where there's a murder and it's

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 2>just too, Perfect the crime is just too, Perfect like

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the body's there dead with, blood the murder weapons there

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 2>WITH dna and fingerprints on the coffee table is the

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>matching fingerprint test result of the. Perpetrator in the corner

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 2>of the bedroom is the perpetrator sitting on the table

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>or sitting on the bed with his hands tied up

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>and like a, handcuffs sitting there with the note that

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>SAYS i did, it and you're like.

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Open, case close. Case that's.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Right so that's kind of what This lebron thing. Is

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Lebron james having a team full of non, shooters not

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>just good shooters versus elite, shooters like very bad, shooters

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>all of them led.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Me to, believe is this something that's too clean of a?

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Case is there a conspiracy a?

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Brewing why Would Lebron, james one of the most powerful

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 2>athletes in the, world sign off on a team of

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:39.840
<v Speaker 2>full of non shooters that not just don't aren't great.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Shooters they love to chuck and they look bad doing.

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 2>It he's a smart, guy one of the better IQs

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 2>in the, league so why would he do? That and

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 2>then a conspiracy rolled over my, body like if the

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>creator herself was speaking in my ear, directly like the

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 2>beam of energy people talk about when they get abducted by. Aliens,

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>FOLKS i now know what's going. On first and, foremost

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about this. Before Lebron james is a guy

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 2>that we know loves, attention he likes the, spotlight a

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>guy we know is never going to win the Undisputed

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Goat debate, title never based on rings. Alone so he

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 2>has to just basically break every individual record.

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Set on Planet.

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Earth in THE, nba he's nipping on the heels of

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 2>the all time scoring record by Who kareem Abdul, jabbar Another,

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Laker So Lebron james in The laker, uniform he's trying

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to beat and break the record Of kareem Abdul jabbar

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 2>in his twentieth. Year who knows how long it's gonna

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>be Until Father time takes over start breaking his body.

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Down there's an entire national advertising campaign about. This right,

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Now Lebron james literally Battling Father time as played By Jason.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Momoa it's on his.

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Mind what's the one thing that slows that possibility down

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>and allows maybe an injury catastrophe from stopping. This sharing

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the ball with a bunch of, lasers a bunch of,

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 2>scoreres a bunch of bucket, getters with a team full

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:24.439
<v Speaker 2>of non, Shooters lebron can blissfully shoot and score thirty

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>five forty five points per night and nobody will call

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 2>him a ball. Hog they'll say that he is dastardly under.

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Manned he is trying desperately to get this team to be.

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Competitive no one will even say a word about him

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 2>holding onto the ball like his life has depended on.

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 2>It plus we know he won't have to go deep

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 2>into the. Playoffs his season ends In. April what does that, Mean,

0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>well we know playoff scoring doesn't matter for the, title

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 2>but more, so LIKE i, said his, Body his body

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>now Gets april Through october to, rest rejuvenate and take

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>what ever jin blood That Tom brady is taking to

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 2>regenerate himself for the rest of. Time good players increase

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the probability of playoff, appearances which only hurt his goat

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 2>argument because he has a bunch of playoff appearances and no.

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Titles just take the playoff appearances. Out just take that.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Out he's gonna put more tread on his. Tires what

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 2>are the point of the Playoffs If.

0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Lebron james isn't gonna win at? All we've cracked the.

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Code that's gotta be.

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>It why else Would Lebron james have the worst shooting

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 2>team IN nba. History what If Rob plinka isn't doing

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 2>his job? Poorly what If Rob plinka is doing his

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:46.160
<v Speaker 2>job to? Perfection bet you haven't thought about. That think about? That,

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>well we talk about.

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.479
<v Speaker 1>The Golden State. Warriors good news and bad news out

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:50.840

<v Speaker 2>State the good news The warriors back to back championship

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>off to a hot. Start the team looked absolutely, unstoppable

<v Speaker 2>and that is with Clay On minute's. Restriction the bad,

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>News Draymond greenstille in the. Doghouse he's probably making things

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 2>worse right. Now he's probably got a television crew recording

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 2>part two of his documentary right at this very. Second

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not about the punch, ANYMORE i don't think. EITHER

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 2>i think it's just the tone deaf reaction to it,

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 2>all the backlash to the punch and just lay, down

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 2>lay down and take take your punishment a, tone don't clap,

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.120
<v Speaker 2>back don't make, excuses no, content no new.

<v Speaker 1>Happens But draymond is going to be on the team all.

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Season Locked On warriors Host Cyrus Satsats he also talked about.

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>This he said there is zero healing right now going

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>on Between draymond And. Pool he, Said i've had sources

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>tell me behind the, Scenes Jordan poole has not Forgiven.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Draymond they haven't. Spoken, wow he's not. HAPPY i don't

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.760
<v Speaker 2>know how you could. Be it's a horrible. Look the

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 2>image of it is us. Awful it's borderline. Emasculating, Yes

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Jordan poole got knocked, out he got knocked, down whatever

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you would.

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Say i'm not sure if he was.

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Unconscious that's only you know Between Jordan poole and his medical.

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Team BUT i am absolutely shocked That Jordan poole hasn't

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Forgiven draymond for just sunning him and punching him in the.

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Face as for The draymond, documentary by the, way it

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>was entirely, filmed, conceived finished in the seven days that

0:20:58.280 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 2>he was away from the.

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Team Steve, Kerr Steve kerr hasn't seen.

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 2>It they didn't even know that it happened UNTIL i don't.

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Know the media asked him about it afterwards they were, like.

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Huh Steph curry said he hadn't seen. It he also said,

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 2>this which was kind of a. Warning he's been in

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 2>production with the new media stuff And i'm sure that's

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>not gonna, end but hopefully everything is in light of

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 2>trying to protect the team and make it about what

0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to do on the floor as the. Priority

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 2>let me just let you in and on a little secret.

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Stuff it wasn't about that at. All it Wasn't there

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 2>was no protection for the. Team it was protection For.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Draymond draymond was about. Himself. Man there's a ton of

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 2>thin pieces out about, this like.

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Why would he do? It what was the? Purpose but

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that's really not the question to.

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Ask the question that we have to ask is should

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 2>we actually Believe draymond that he cares about this interaction

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in any, way that he was appalled by his own?

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Actions was he really? Sorry was he spending his time away?

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Reflecting because if the first thing you do when you

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>get pushed.

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Away from a team. Whatever it was, mutual but it wasn't.

0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Right so the first thing you do is you call

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 2>your agent and you set up a meeting With Omaha,

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.040

<v Speaker 2>Night that doesn't tell me you're like thinking about being very,

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.120
<v Speaker 2>zen you, know it doesn't feel like you're looking. Inward

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.680
<v Speaker 2>it feels like you're kind of trying to push your

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 2>own agenda and using your relationship WITH tnt to push

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 2>said agenda to make you look, better probably to increase

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>the value of your contract or increase your, brand or

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 2>who the hell knows.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>What but, listen when you don't tell The.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Warriors ahead of time you're gonna do, This oh my,

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 2>god that is NIGHT i, Sleep. Matt that's a bad,

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:06.919

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:08.760
<v Speaker 2>we gotta watch this.

0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 1>ONE i don't know how it.

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Ends quick update On Jay crowder for those who don't,

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 2>know J crowder is sitting out until he gets traded

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>because The sons aren't paying him what he's. Worth they

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>won't give him a starting, role and this has created

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 2>yet another locker room issue for The.

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Suns and with the eight and drama, bubbling they do

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 1>not need. This, no, no.

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 2>No even If aton said, oh, yeah, yeah everything's good,

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 2>now we're back to normal, NOW i do not believe

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that normal is not a word that we can use

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to describe anything that's going on In. Phoenix when you

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 2>have a point guard that grinds his teammates down to,

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 2>dust you've got an owner who's currently selling the team

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 2>because of all the, isms when you've got a big

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 2>man who is the number one pick who you couldn't

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 2>even muster up enough enthusiasm to offer him a.

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Contract until he was offered by another.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Team and now another player who's holding, out actually not

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 2>even holding. Out you've told him just to stay away

0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 2>from the, team which is fucking.

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Weird it's fucking.

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 2>WEIRD a new article dropped yesterday from my, Guy Jake,

0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 2>fisher exploring how weird the whole situation has gotten Since

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 2>phoenix decided to Replace jay in the starting line up

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.639
<v Speaker 2>With Cam. Johnson we knew he was gonna want a,

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:21.120
<v Speaker 2>trade not gonna offer him ten million dollars a, year

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 2>which is what he's getting paid now to sit on the.

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Bench so If phoenix doesn't Want crowder And crowder doesn't

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>want to be there was the.

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Problem, Well jake, says The suns.

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Rather famously may spend less on resources than any rival draft,

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>scouting and. Evaluation phoenix is curiously the only team in

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>THE nba that does not owe any outgoing picks from

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>previous trades or have any incoming picks on the. Horizon

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 2>This sun's throne office appears to operate on one year's,

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.040
<v Speaker 2>schedules where each campaign is its own trip around the

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 2>monopoly board with its own set of resources to reach

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:55.360
<v Speaker 2>go once again in. Prosperity that, way you're never assets

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 2>strapped with only distant first round draft picks to upgrade your.

0:24:58.160 --> 0:24:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Roster what does that?

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Mean it means they do not care That Jay crowder's

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 2>sitting there at home on the, bench and they do

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:09.439
<v Speaker 2>not care about trading. Him and what's very bizarre is

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>why The sons have Banned crowder from being around the team.

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:13.880
<v Speaker 1>PERIOD i don't know what that's. About he'd be very

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>helpful at a.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Time When Cam johnson just goes down with a thumb

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>injury all of a, sudden Maybe Jay crowder can increase his.

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Value BUT i don't.

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Know starting some, games where is he gonna end. Up,

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>well looks like he's gonna land In miami AS. Pj tucker's.

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 2>Replacement actually it's not really P. J tucker's, replacement is.

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 2>It it's IT'S Pj tucker replaced, him and so he

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 2>is replacing.

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Himself, yes, yeah he.

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Is. So Jay crowder was there when they went to the,

0:25:43.880 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 2>finals then he left to go To phoenix Because miami

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:47.439
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't pay.

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Him and then NOW.

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Pj tucker moved on for greener. Pastures so he is

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>he is his own. Replacement, yeah that's really. It, yeah

0:25:56.320 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 2>very strange things though happening In. Phoenix we got a

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 2>little bit of, time very very quick time to.

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Just go through.

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>This BUT i didn't want to talk about a couple

0:26:17.000 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>of players who were very. IMPRESSIVE i have to Mention

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 2>john Wall.

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Man he was so out of the. League he was.

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Nowhere houston was keeping him like away from the, team

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Like Jay crowder as.

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Well people were wondering when he was gonna play basketball.

0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Again he now has openly talked about how that affected

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 2>his mental. Health it had deteriorated to the point where

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 2>he had thought about. Suicide so the fact that we

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 2>add Some John wall hoopin Vintage John, wall my, lord

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 2>he played so. Well Charles barkley openly speculated why one

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 2>of about a dozen teams didn't find a way to

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>make a deal for just him last. Year he looked

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 2>like the Old John, wall except for this. Time he

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 2>plays defense fifteen four and three with the, steal he was.

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Steady he was getting such easy, buckets so, calm so under,

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 2>control coming around, screens getting easy mid, ranges getting very

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>fast out into, transition came back into the game after

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>The lakers made their huge. Run Reggie jackson was just

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 2>getting cooked that he was with THE b. Team he

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:31.199
<v Speaker 2>made clutch jumper after clutch, Jumper kawhi gave him the.

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Ball when does that? Happen he played awesome.

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Defense laker, guards LIKE i told you guys, before shot

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.640
<v Speaker 2>four percent from the field for a. Game that wasn't

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>just because they're bad, shooters But Wall KAWHI pg looked

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>like a.

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Real dominant big three up.

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 2>There if they can all increase their minutes to like

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the high twenties.

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Thirties this team is gonna be.

0:27:52.840 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Dangerous, lastly another player that was super impressed with Was Herb.

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Jones Love Herb jones so. GOOD a lot of people

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 2>are still learning about. Him if you're a casual fan

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and you need a, reminder six, seven four were who

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 2>can guard one through, five steadily.

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Improving his offense as.

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Well he was drafted number thirty five, overall not this last,

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>draft but two drafts, ago and he is becoming maybe

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the best defensive.

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Players in the.

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 2>League like he could easily Win Defensive player of The

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 2>year this. Year that's how good he. Is his first

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 2>game In, brooklyn his stat, line you might not think

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 2>is very good six four to three with one steal

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eight. Minutes but let's look at how The

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 2>pelicans did when he was on the floor Against Brooklyn's big.

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Three he was a plus thirty four for the. Game

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 2>The pelicans outscored The nets by thirty four points in

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 2>his twenty eight, minutes by, far the highest plus minus

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 2>in the. Game because he was locking down every single

0:28:49.400 --> 0:28:52.160
<v Speaker 2>person that he. Defended he helped contribute To Ben simmons

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>fouling out in the twenty five, minutes and when he

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>was on the, court The pels net rating was one

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 2>point eight to. Two when he was on the, bench

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>it was minus one point nine to. Eight The pelicans

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.320

<v Speaker 2>Murphy so many, traits but he can be. Everywhere on,

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>defense he can get into the, paint stop a man

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 2>from rolling into the.

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Basket he rotates over.

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Quickly to block the best scorer in the world in the,

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>corner three in two seconds.

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Flat he's.

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Special and when he was asked who he models his game,

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>after who do you think maybe Khy? No he says

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>his defense and how he sees the. Game he is

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 2>trying to emulate safeties in THE. Nfl he, said his

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>two guys that he emulates Are Ed reid And Cam.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Chancellor that was how he covers so much.

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 2>GROUND i look at, them they're, long they cover a

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch of. Ground so that's WHAT i do on the basketball.

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 2>COURT i needed to figure out how they were able

0:29:53.760 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to read react to, plays AND i felt like IF

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 2>i could take pieces from their, mentality THEN i could

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:01.240
