21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: topics that I know about coffee shop security, the idea

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: of letting someone watch your laptop while you run to

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Is that good? Tworking to Taylor Swift, bad

Speaker 1: book Jackets, and a whole lot more so that's is

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: this good? That went up really early this morning, available

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: on YouTube and of course podcasts. We got a whole

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: lot to break down. Of course, looking back at a

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: crazy final weekend of the NBA regular season, looking ahead

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to the playing games, to the playoff matchups, a bunch

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: of news. But we had a weggie number fifty two

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: last night on Sunday, Christian Brown baunching the alley you

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: pass and he accidentally sticks it in there, and hey,

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: we'll take it. It has been a while since we had one.

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I think, like a I don't know ten or eleven days,

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: so number fifty two as we end the regular season.

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: But of course we count the playing games and playoffs

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and we need seven seven more weggies to set the

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: all time record.

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: And that would be an all time record for playoffs

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: if we were to get seven. Yeah, we had a

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: six or nearly a decade ago. It's a very long

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: time ago, Okay, so we're fourteen to fifteen, but this

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: would be six is a lot. So listen, we got

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to fifty two.

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's a good season.

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: Great.

47
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: We said fifty is good, and I mean we got

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: playing games nowadays, you know, extra four extra games to

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: stick a Weggie in there. Thank you, Christian Brown putting

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: it in with his forearm based.

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: On a weird one. Christian on Easter giving us another

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: allup pledgie. That was the second consecutive aluup pledgie. Chris

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: Bouchet had the last one and then this one. It's

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: the new you know type of Weggie, the lup botched Weggie.

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: I love it. All right, let's just get into it.

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I want to know the favorite gamer moment from the

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: final weekend of the NBA regular season. Where do you

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: want to start?

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: No, come on, everyone was talking about we got to

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: start with the Wolves and the Pelicans. The storyline of

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert's punch to Kyle Anderson overshadowing what was a

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: great comeback for the Timberwolf, A really, really good one

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: that started with Jada McDaniels, their best perimeter defender, punching

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: a wall, breaking his hand at the towards the end

65
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: of the first quarter where he was extremely upset. So

66
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: he goes out and then Rudy Gobert punching another wall.

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: Kyle Anderson looks like a wall, I mean Kyle Anderson. Yeah,

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: maybe that's why he retreated so fast. Maybe Kyle Anderson

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: is as hard as a wall. Because Rudy Gobert hits

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: him towards the end of the second quarter as they're

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: having this argument on the bench. Rudy backtracks real quick,

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: and Tori and Prince helped him backtrack, getting up and

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: pushing Rudy Gobert with two hands to his chestick continued

74
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: in the locker room. Rudy Gobert went home and then

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: he did the the p and p apology, which is

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: a smart route, public sending out the tweet and private

77
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: he sent a group chat. So I think he comes back.

78
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: I think he will play in the playing tournament game

79
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: against the Lakers, and I am excited to see them perform,

80
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: because again it overshadows an incredible comeback. They played so

81
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: hard with Oako, Beart and McDaniels. They scrapped led by

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, who kind of overshadowed Carl Anthony Town's thirty

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: point game. But Anthony Edwards had a ridiculous finish to

84
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: this game. He nearly had a five by five for

85
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: a ridiculous game for him. But that was just it

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: was wild to see. It was wild to see him

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: backpedal like that because everybody comparing it to Draymond Green.

88
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: Jamond Green nearly broke Jordan Poole's face. That was a

89
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: full punch.

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: And also not during a game.

91
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, not during a game, practice, practice, sure, but a

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: very different type of punch Rudy. It was. It was

93
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: like and why I think he won't be suspended by

94
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: the Wolves. It was a punch to the chest and

95
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: the shoulder area, and it's a different type. I think

96
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: there are levels to punches and and the.

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: Body blow versus face. Yes, I suppose that the apology

98
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: and the apology.

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Let's read the tweet here quickly. This was Rudy. He

100
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: got sent home from the game. They said, get out

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: of here. Man he likes, but he tweeted. Emotions got

102
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: the best of me today. I should not have reacted

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: the way I did, regardless of what was said. I

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: want to apologize to the fans, the organization, and particularly

105
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: to Kyle, who is someone that I truly love and

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: respect as a teammate. Yeah. The verbal altercation then led

107
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: to Rudy snapping you know, you can read the lips

108
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: there from Kyle Anderson, and I think it was a

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: bit of a shut up bitch to Rudy after they

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: were arguing of like, hey man, block a shot, hey man,

111
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: grab a rebound, hey man, we're trying to win here.

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: That happens in NBA games between teammates, like getting pissed

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: off with each other. It rarely escalates to the actual

114
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: punching of one.

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: It happened for the Clippers, right true, Mason Plumley and

116
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: Bones Highland. We're going forehead to forehead, No big deal.

117
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: That's how you have a sideline altercation between teammates. When

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: things are getting heated, you yell at each other, maybe

119
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: a touch faces. I suppose that's okay, But throwing a

120
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: punch that's bad.

121
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: Man.

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: Like, if this were not the play in tournament, Rudy

123
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: Gobert would one hundred percent be suspended for the next game,

124
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: and he should be. You can't punch your teammate on

125
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: the sideline during a game in clear view of anybody.

126
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: Of everybody in kind of a must win game for

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves. But they're playing against a huge team and

128
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers that has a dominant Anthony Davis inside. Lebron

129
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: is obviously an interior scorer as well, So it's quite

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: likely that Rudy Gobert gets to skate by and then

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: they'll punish him next season, which is fair enough. I

132
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: think the nas Reed absence probably plays into this as well.

133
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: For sure.

134
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 3: The Timberwolves are going from three centers down to one center.

135
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: That ain't gonna happen against the Lakers. So timing is

136
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: everything with Rudy Gobert. Here punch your teammates, I suppose,

137
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: only if there's one game left of the season.

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Right, So you think both of you that he will

139
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: be playing tomorrow night, because that's the part of that

140
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: first night of the play in games there.

141
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: I think. So I think he definitely should be disciplined.

142
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: You can't punch somebody like that, regardless of what was said.

143
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: I like how he threw that into tweet, regardless of

144
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: what was said, basically saying, Kyle, you said some nasty

145
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: things to me, so I punched you. All these reports

146
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: great article written by John krasinskive the Athletic about Kyle

147
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 2: Anderson being extremely blunt with his teammates being extremely open

148
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: about screwing up on defense. Never knew Kyle's that type

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: of guy until this week. He's been around for a while.

150
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: But I do think they have enough, even with though

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: Jane mcdowalds was a big blow. That guy is an

152
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: all defensive type of player. With Torrian Prince, with a

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: guy like Kyle Anderson, with some monsters and Rugo Bert

154
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: most likely in Karl Anthony towns, and even the ferocity

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: of Anthony Edwards again overlooked in this game. I thought

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: he was great. I think they have enough to play

157
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, and even though the Lakers are favored

158
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: in terms of the championship favorites then more than a

159
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: lot of other teams in the playoffs, even though they're

160
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: in the play in I like the Wolves. I think

161
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: the fact that they continued to fight after all that

162
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: crap and could have easily splintered, it's a great sign. Yeah,

163
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: for one game, anyway.

164
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I think what they will do because we don't know

165
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: for sure if he's playing. I know we're starting an

166
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: hour later than normal, but I don't think we've heard

167
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: word from the Wolves organization whether or not he's going

168
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: to be disciplined and then he's not going to play

169
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: in the playing game or he is or whatever. I

170
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: think they should just ask their teammates. They should just

171
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: go to the locker room and go show Hans you

172
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: guys want Rudy Gobert to play in this next game.

173
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many hands.

174
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: Would go up for yes, Mike Conleys would. He seems

175
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: to be a good guy. He think he's got a

176
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: lot of credit for smoothing things over at halftime, though

177
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 3: apparently go Bear and Anderson went at each other at

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: halftime as well, and there are leaked recordings of Kyle

179
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: Anderson basically talking trash about Rudy Gobert as well, saying

180
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to make a decision coming this summer,

181
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: but more than likely Go Bear plays just because I

182
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: think it would be even more of an embarrassment for

183
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves if he doesn't. Also, the Timber Owls play

184
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: a lot better with Gobert on the bench yesterday, so

185
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: that's a interesting thing to throw into this as well.

186
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: All right, well, we got that in there, and yes,

187
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: plum leean Bones Highland also having a bit of altercation. Yes,

188
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: no punches were thrown. What else from yesterday that you

189
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on? This crazy ending to the season.

190
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: E Donnas Haslam's final regular season game, at least for

191
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat. He had twenty four points again yesterday,

192
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: his most since November two thousand and ninety. Scored thirteen

193
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: points in the first quarter, hit three three pointers. He

194
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 3: now has nine total three pointers in his NBA career.

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: He caught an alley oop from Duncan Robinson. This is

196
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: incredible stuff from Eudonis Haslam. Bam Outebayo also hooked him

197
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: up with a rocking chair to send him into his retirement.

198
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: I guess they're assuming that ud is not going to

199
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: be playing in the play in game or tur or

200
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: the actual playoffs should he get to it. But a

201
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: lot of weird stuff always happens in game eighty two

202
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: of a regular season. But I didn't expect Eudonnas Haslam

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: to set the rec for points scored by a forty

204
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: two year old. I would have never even considered that

205
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 3: as an option for things that happen. It's like, yeah, sure,

206
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: Ben Huzzo will have a triple double autum nowhere. But

207
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: Eudonis has them, scoring twenty four points. He's scored like

208
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 3: twenty four points in the past four seasons combined or something.

209
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: It's wild stuff. But he just went off last yesterday.

210
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Everybody was going crazy for him. He took a charge.

211
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: Of course, he was really doing it all out there.

212
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he became the oldest player in NBA history to

213
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: record a twenty point game, surpassing Vince Carter hasloty eight. Yeah,

214
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: he's nearly forty three years old, right, He's like, yeah,

215
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: he's like fifty or sixty days away from turning forty three.

216
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: So he's got Vince beat. That's a wild one.

217
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: Has them's twenty four way more surprising than Kobe's sixty

218
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 2: in his final game. One hundred times more surprising because

219
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: it's Eudonis has them, who was young once and was

220
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: scoring some buckets, but now he is super old. Had

221
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: the three threes. The alley oop that I think even

222
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade, who was sitting courtside, got up for, like,

223
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: how do I celebrate this? I've never seen this before.

224
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: It was just a straight, you know, straight alley oops,

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: but he gave it up, got it back and got

226
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: to throw one down three threes. Ridiculous. The rocking chair

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: loved that touch. And that's going to be his final

228
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: game unless he gets into.

229
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: Some garbage, but even then I don't think so.

230
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, blowout if they make it deep

231
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. You got to throw Ud out there,

232
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: just because he was part of the championship runs and

233
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: he was the starter way back when. And O six

234
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: doing his thing. Oh wow, just just very very strange.

235
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: A couple other crazy things from yesterday. The Warriors set

236
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the NBA record with a fifty five point first quarter

237
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: they were playing the Blazers. Klay Thompson also became the

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: third player in NBA history to make at least three

239
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: hundred and three pointers in a season, joining Curry, who's

240
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: done it four times, and James Harden. We had the

241
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Spurs and Rockets both winning Game eighty two. They finished

242
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: their season with identical twenty two and sixty records. So

243
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: Pistons win the tank off here with seventeen wins, and

244
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: then it's those two teams Houston and San Antonio. But

245
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: they're all gonna have the same chance at the number

246
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: one pick. We had a broken speaker delay the Clippers

247
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: Suns game which broken well, yeah, I mean that's what

248
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: some of the conspiracy theorists thought because of this whole Like,

249
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: what did the Clippers want to do here? Do you

250
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: want to win this game? Lose this game in terms

251
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: of your seeding? Are you gonna fall into the play in?

252
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: What's going on in the Pelicans Wolves game? That was weird,

253
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: That was strange, and a lot of people are thinking

254
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: that the Clippers sort of came as came away as

255
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: big losers yesterday in the sense that they won their game,

256
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: they play and then they got to play the Suns

257
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: in a four or five matchup. I don't have if

258
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: you have any thoughts on that. Should they have really

259
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: leaned in to just like, you know what, we'll take

260
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: our chances with that Pels Wolves game and maybe we'll

261
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: just be the seventh seed. Maybe that's a better chance

262
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: for us. Or is that crazy? I too scary?

263
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: One game you're out, then you're talking about like that's

264
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: kind of what happened to the Clippers last year. They

265
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: lost their first play in game, they were getting ready

266
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: for the second one. Suddenly Paul George was in Health

267
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 3: and Safety protocols. Now you're without your two stars, then

268
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: you're out of the playoffs. Yeah, you would much rather

269
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: take your chances with having to lose four times.

270
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? And how do you lose to the Suns on

271
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 2: the last day of the season when they're playing nobody?

272
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: The Sons are playing absolutely none of their guys. Yeah,

273
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: and then go into put potentially a playoff series with

274
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: them or whoever however it may unfold there. I do

275
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: see the biggest thing I think for Klay Thompson. You

276
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: mentioned the Warriors fifty five points in the first quarter,

277
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: an NBA record never been done before in a quarter,

278
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: and in the first first price should say, yeah, and

279
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: the highest scoring quarter of any team this season. That's

280
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: scary stuff for the Sacramento Kings going into the postseason

281
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: watching that happen. But Clay's three hundred threes the most

282
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: of his career. It's pretty cool coming back from all

283
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: those injuries to hit three hundred threes, and he did

284
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: it right at the beginning of the game. Just got

285
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: scorching hot to hit over three h threes, lead the

286
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: league in threes this season. Pretty neat for him to

287
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: come back and do that.

288
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Some of Sunday's Other great Games. Kenneth Lofton, junior of

289
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. This guy just signed a contract with Memphis.

290
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: First rookie to record a forty point ten rebound game

291
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: since Blake Griffin in twenty eleven. Yeah, he had forty

292
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. Lofton did Cam Thomas. He was back

293
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: in our lives for one game yesterday. He went for

294
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: forty six. Mikail Bridges played four seconds to extend his

295
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: NBA iron Man streak, so he technically played fouled came

296
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: out obviously to save him for the postseason. Do you

297
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: have thoughts on that? How do you do?

298
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: You like it?

299
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: You're like, you know what? Fine? Or is that a

300
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: little too girl?

301
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: So it's a little skirt in the rules. But he

302
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: does finish with eighty three games played this season, so

303
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: I'll give him credit. Yeah, Okay, that's good point exactly.

304
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: If he wantn't going above and beyond getting to eighty three,

305
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: I think it would be more of a problem. But uh,

306
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: very funny.

307
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, if there's one guy who can pull that move,

308
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: it's the guy who's played three hundred and ninety two

309
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: consecutive games. Yeah, right, Yeah, It's a dirty move, sure,

310
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: but it's not like coming in and playing ten seconds

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: to get to this dumb mark that we have in

312
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: the new CBA for award winners. You know, that's a

313
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: little different it, guys, has he's an iron. He doesn't

314
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: miss games.

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: You guys brought up the infamous ben Uzo game back

316
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: in the Raptors' days, putting up a triple double in

317
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: his u the in the team's final game in the

318
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: regular season. Well, how about Steo Pinson yesterday? Shout out

319
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: to his podcast triple double and forty minutes of action?

320
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: Is that what the podcast is called?

321
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: Yes?

322
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: Trey Mann okay see also posted a triple double. Sure,

323
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: hand him out and wasn't a triple double, but it

324
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: was definitely the one guy where I had to admit

325
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I went who Dominic Burlow of the San Antonio Spurs

326
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: nearly had a big beef. He's a nineteen year old kid.

327
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he's small forward for the Spurs twenty one

328
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: and nineteen. This is the shit that was going on yesterday.

329
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: I love Dominic bar on the wire.

330
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, crazy, I mean, this is what happens.

331
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: There are three trailblazers who don't have a photo on

332
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: NBA dot Com. Jonathan Williams, Oh yeah, Jonathan CH's Comanche

333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: and Justin Manaiah not real, not real. Seriously, every day

334
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: when I get dressed and pull on my trousers, I'm

335
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: calling my genathansh Yeah.

336
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: So what a wild, wild ending to the regular season.

337
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: But hey, let's keep it going here. We do have

338
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: in our playing schedule. It is set. We know the

339
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: eight teams, the four games here, it is for everybody

340
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: on YouTube tomorrow night. We got no games on tonight

341
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night. This kicks off on April eleventh, Atlanta in Miami,

342
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: seven thirty pm Eastern TNT, followed by the Wolves and

343
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Lakers at ten o'clock that one also on TNT, and

344
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: then on Wednesday night, Oh we got it. In the end,

345
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: we got it. It is the No Dunks Bowl Bulls

346
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: at Raps seven pm Eastern on ESPN, followed by the

347
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: Thunder and Pelicans, Yes, Pelicans falling there in the end

348
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: to the ninth seedon So okay, let's start with you, Trey,

349
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: most intriguing play in tournament game and why where are

350
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: you going?

351
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's got to be the No Dunks Bowl

352
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 3: It's only intriguing for us because this is gonna be

353
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 3: an ugly game. These are two of the worst watches

354
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: in the league generally. Both teams very good on defense,

355
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: both the Bulls and Raptors, basically since the All Star break.

356
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: You can probably even go back a little bit further,

357
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: but they're both top ten defenses and bottom five offenses.

358
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: So it really feels like, if you can get to

359
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: ninety points, you got a really good chance. It's gonna

360
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: come down to For me, turnovers and free throws will

361
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: be a huge determining factor on who wins, and probably

362
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: one player on either team we'll have a randomly great game,

363
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 3: maybe Zach Lavine the Bulls, maybe Fred VanVleet for the Raptors.

364
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: But we're gonna be living and dieing with that one,

365
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 3: and I don't know if anybody else is, but it

366
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: feels big to me. It feels big to us for sure.

367
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 3: Twelve and ten, I think they both are in their

368
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 3: last twenty two games.

369
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: Awesome. Yeah, we're gonna be live on playback for that

370
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: game too. That is Wednesday night, Like I said, seven

371
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: pm Eastern. We got the early start. We're gonna have

372
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: all the energy in the world as we watch our

373
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: pathetic teams. Yeah, try and beat each other. And yeah,

374
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: I can't believe the Raptors are somehow favored by five.

375
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I saw in this game, what what's the over under?

376
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: It should be like two hundred. It's probably more than that, but.

377
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: A great question.

378
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna be low scored, it's gonna be ugly, and

379
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

380
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm almost like it just sounds like you don't think

381
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: they can do it.

382
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the Raptors are gonna win. There, I

383
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: said it. I think they I think the team is quit.

384
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: I mean I think a part of it with the nurse,

385
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, press conference posting or pregame, press conference, whatever

386
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: you want to call it, where it's like, eh, I'm

387
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: gonna reassess I'm probably gone. I think there's that. I think,

388
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, even if they get in, these teams are

389
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: going to get waxed, of course by a Milwaukee Bucks team.

390
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

391
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: The good thing is they're playing it. They're playing the Bulls. Yeah,

392
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: so that's a good sign that they could make it through.

393
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: They're a good home team. Yeah, they've played some ugly stuff.

394
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: We will have a really ugly stuff.

395
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: We will have our guy Jerome apparently in Jurassic Park

396
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: taking in the sights and sounds. Miss it of this.

397
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: No, this bowl.

398
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: Bet MGM has the over under it to fourteen point

399
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: five right now?

400
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay, Yeah, what an underplay that?

401
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like it under me.

402
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: This feels like a definitely like a one hundred ninety

403
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: two game or something like that. Ninety three.

404
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: I would say it sucks because if our two teams

405
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: involved our other home team, the Atlanta Hawks, going to

406
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: play the Miami Heat. It also just doesn't doesn't breed

407
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: all that much excitement that that game. The Eastern Conference

408
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: playing games just failed to compare to the Western Conference ones,

409
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: which I'm far more excited for. I'm far more excited

410
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: for the Lakers hosting the Timberwolves. We just talked about

411
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 2: the Rudy Gobert scenario. The Wolves beat them two out

412
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: of three games this season. I think they got to

413
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: feel pretty good. They did just loose to them recently

414
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: when Anthony Davis was a monster. I can't wait to

415
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 2: see Anthony Davis against that front line. I do think

416
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert comes back can provide a little bit of

417
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: inspiration for his boys because he is playing injured as well.

418
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: That's what Kyle Anderson was saying, Hey play a little

419
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: bit harder, and Rudy Gobert reportedly Cornell Reports out there, said, hey,

420
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: my back is injured, but listen to this team fights

421
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 2: and scraps. They do have some sort of enthusiasm about them.

422
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 2: They play good against the good teams, they play really

423
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: bad against the bad teams. And they're the underdog here

424
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: by far. We're talking odds. The Lakers have the seventh

425
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: best odds to win the title, and.

426
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: Well they've had the second best record in the league

427
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: since the All Star break.

428
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they they should be the favorite. There's no

429
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: doubt the Timberwolves. It's it's an uphill battle, but you

430
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: know it's a six and a half point line there.

431
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: The Timberwolves are plus fifteen thousand to win the title.

432
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: So that's uh, that's deep, deep deep. Yeah, those are deepods.

433
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: But I think they match up pretty well as I

434
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: talked about all those things. And will Anthony Davis have

435
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: a big game. Maybe they have played well together with

436
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: the Austin Reeves into the starting lineup. Damn, they look good.

437
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a really good all season the Lakers,

438
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: So that's fun McDaniels.

439
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: That's going to be a killer for the herieber Wolves.

440
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 3: Losing McDaniels for this game. I mean they said the

441
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 3: rest of the season. It could be two games for

442
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves if they're completely imploding right now. But between

443
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 3: the star power and the fact that Minnesota might completely

444
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: just turtle at the end of the season, I think

445
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: this is a must watch game. I mean, these all

446
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: are you can make a stupid case for all.

447
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean against thunder is also that.

448
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: Could be a very exciting game.

449
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely for sure. The Heat Hawks game. Now, this one,

450
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: like you're just trying to convince yourself, can like Trey

451
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: Young exercise the demons when it comes to playing the

452
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. I had forgotten how bad it was, but

453
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: I just checked in last year's last season's first round

454
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: series that the Heat won in five games, So the

455
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: Hawks did take one game. Young averaged fifteen point four

456
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: points per game, shot thirty one point nine percent from

457
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: the field, eighteen percent on threes, thirty one turnovers on

458
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: just twenty two made shots that he had in that series,

459
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: And like you look at the regular season matchup too.

460
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: It's like nearly nineteen twenty games like his numbers are

461
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: way below his career averages because they just do a

462
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: good job of bottling up. Why would the Heat change

463
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: any of their game plan going against this team and

464
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: whether or not maybe Quinn Snyder's the one to figure

465
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: out how to unlock something different, big game for Dejonte Murray.

466
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think because I'm with you, that's what the

467
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: Heat have done to the Hawks starting in that playoff

468
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: series last year. Take the ball out of Trey Young's hands,

469
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: make anybody else.

470
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: On the Hawks beat you.

471
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: They didn't have a guy like that last season. They

472
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: think Desjonte Murray has to be that guy after the

473
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: trade they made last season. So it's a little bit

474
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: of a redemption story.

475
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: For the Hawks.

476
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: We'll see how they handle it.

477
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll make our specific or lock them in predictions

478
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: for those two series or excuse me, for the four

479
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: games when it comes to the plan on tomorrow's podcast,

480
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: we'll do that. Hopefully the power is working tomorrow morning,

481
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: and we'll do that live at ten am Eastern from

482
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: the Classic Factory, And then of course we'll start looking

483
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: ahead to the actual playoff matchups. But let's show them

484
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: to you just quickly. Here the ones we know, we

485
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: have four of them, set two in each conference, and

486
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: here they are. Saturday, April fifteenth. We know we get

487
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: game one, it's Brooklyn in Philadelphia that gets it all started.

488
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: We're waiting to see who the Celtics play. But we

489
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: also have the Knicks in Cleveland on that Saturday, and

490
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: then we've got the Warriors in Sacramento. These two teams

491
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: have never since the team moved to Sacramento, have never

492
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: been in the postseason at the same time. I'm talking

493
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Golden State and Sacramento, and now they're going to play

494
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: each other on Saturday night on ABC, which is very exciting.

495
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: And then the other one we know right now, Clippers Sons.

496
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Of those ones, which one are you just most excited

497
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: for tests.

498
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: It's gotta be the intrastate battle Warriors kinks just driving

499
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: down in a highway, don't have to take flights. We

500
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: should get great games. The Kings, just the excitement around

501
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: them playing, I hope the worrisome part of watching Golden

502
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 2: State Warriors do what they did yesterday obviously, it's it's

503
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 2: just the perfectly written storyline. The Vets at the end

504
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: of their dynasty against this King's team going into their

505
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: first foray, of course, that's like so so exciting. You

506
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: get the local part. There's just too much, too much there.

507
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: What about you, Shrey.

508
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Sacramento versus Golden State is by far the

509
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: most exciting first round series that I think we're gonna get,

510
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: even after the play in shakes out. But the way

511
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: it looks now no doubt about it, because it's really

512
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: a good test both ways. I think like the Kings

513
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: are obviously going up against the defending champion Warriors, a

514
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: team that has done it for the past ten years,

515
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: being on top of the league. They're smaller the Warriors are.

516
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: The Kings are a smaller kind of team. They both

517
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: play a lot of offense. We'll see about the defense.

518
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 3: That's a question for the Warriors. Can they flip the

519
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: switch at all? Can they actually become a sixteen game team?

520
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: Like Draymond Green always says, they are signs point toward yes.

521
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: But the Kings are going to be tough to stop

522
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: regardless of their opponents. So I think that's gonna be

523
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: an awesome series. There's also incredible star power in the

524
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns, versus the La Clippers Kevin Durant Kawhi Leonard

525
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: round one. Yeah, that's incredible stuff. Also, the first time

526
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: Kad and Russell Westbrook are going to face each other

527
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Weird way that it shook out this

528
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: way being on the Clippers and the Suns, but that

529
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: should be exciting to see as well. And you know,

530
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: I'm certainly going to be favoring the Suns in this one,

531
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 3: but we've seen Kawhi Leonard drag a team pretty far

532
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: in the past, and he's been playing incredibly well so far.

533
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, of those series that we have locked in, the

534
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: two that feel most likely to go six, maybe even

535
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: seven are the ones you guys said. I think Warriors Kings.

536
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm fascinated by that one. And then the

537
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: one we haven't talked about but we've been talking about

538
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: for weeks because it's been set for weeks, the Knicks Cavs.

539
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: That one feels like it's gonna be a hell of

540
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: a series between those two teams. So very excited for

541
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: those two. I feel like the other ones, like I

542
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: think the Suns are actually gonna wax the Clippers, and uh,

543
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: I think the Nets will put up a fight, but

544
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna be overpowered by Joel Embiid

545
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: and Philly, So I feel like that one's gonna be

546
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: a bit of a short one to Thomas Cam Thomas,

547
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: lock them, Yeah, we'll see, we'll see roll again. Get

548
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: into all of our predictions and a lot more detail

549
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: where we start looking at things to watch in the

550
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: series throughout this next week because the playoffs actually don't

551
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: start until Saturday. This the play in it's the postseason,

552
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: but it's not the playoffs. Cool, yeah, mergatory exactly, It's right,

553
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: it's very survivor mergatory. Like all right, we got to

554
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: our first break. When we come back, still tons to

555
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: talk about. Bunch of coaches got canned, and the NBA

556
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: might be investigating the Dallas Mavericks. We'll talk about that

557
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: in a whole lot more. Don't go anywhere, all right,

558
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: still here in the Classic Factory. If you're joining us

559
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: live on YouTube, we'd love to see it. Hit that

560
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: like button, make sure you subscribe. A lot of No

561
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Dunk's content coming your way over this next week and

562
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: then into the playoffs. But let's jump on the coaching

563
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: carousel because we have two coaches that are out. We'll

564
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: start with Steven Silas out as Rockets head coach. They

565
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: decline to pick up the fourth year option on Silas's contract,

566
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: ending his three year run trying to lead the franchises rebuild.

567
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: The Rockets, like I said, finished twenty two and sixty

568
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: this season overall fifty nine and one hundred and seventeen

569
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: in Silas's tenure as a coach, the Rockets team ranked

570
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: in the bottom four in offensive and defensive efficiency over

571
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: the last three seasons. That is rough, weren't really great

572
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: on either side of the ball. So probably not a

573
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: surprise to either of you guys, especially Utre. We were

574
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: talking to Kelly Eco at our live show in Huon

575
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: a week ago and it was like, yeah, this is happening.

576
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time, and man, it happened

577
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: like right away. As soon as that season ended. He

578
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, you're gone.

579
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And some great reporting on the Athletic about it's

580
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 3: not a ton of turmoil I don't feel like in

581
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 3: the Rockets, but just certainly some disagreements and kind of

582
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: Steven Silas not necessarily having the job he signed up

583
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: for because when he became the coach James Harden was

584
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 3: in town. They were going to give John wall a

585
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: little bit of a tryout as well, and maybe that

586
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: would be able to keep the Rockets respectable. Harden and

587
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: Westbrook nda but forcing their way out and the team

588
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: went into the tank. And unfortunately for Steven Silas, there

589
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 3: was no identity to the Rockets. They weren't a bad

590
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: team that happened to try hard on defense, much like

591
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia seventy six ers were. They weren't a team

592
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: that played really hard and had a great offensive star

593
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: like the Thunder where with shake Gil just Alexander. They

594
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: were just kind of a team of a bunch of

595
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: players who would go out there and try and figure

596
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: out how to play NBA basketball together and it didn't work.

597
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: And after every game, the vets on the opponent would say,

598
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: you got to get some vets in there. You got

599
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: to get some players in there who can help you

600
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: learn and learn how to be NBA players. I will

601
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: say that the vets who would always criticize the Rockets

602
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: were always going out of their way to say it

603
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: ain't Stephen Silas's fault. I don't think that what happened

604
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 3: with the Rockets is Steven Silas's fault, but somebody's got

605
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: to take the fall eventually, and it end up being him.

606
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: So the Rockets are going to want to be better.

607
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: They're going to spend a ton of money on their

608
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: next coach to try and improve and not be the

609
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: worst team in the league for the next three seasons.

610
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just needed a refresh, and Silas, unfortunately, is

611
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: the fall guy. That's how I feel that they started

612
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: back then with the Harden and Westbrook team. They were

613
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: eleven to ten in his first year to start the season,

614
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: and even after making the moves where Harden was forced out,

615
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: they're playing guys like Jay Shawn Tate, a lot of

616
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: those Mits, Oladipo came in, the Christian would, the John Will,

617
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: some vets, Eric Gordon was getting plenty minutes, and then

618
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: as the reporting goes on the athletic they started, you know,

619
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: one by one, plucking those guys out of the rotation.

620
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: With Eric Gordon, M sorry, you're not playing as much anymore.

621
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: We just have too much veteranship on this team. So

622
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: that's why they started losing games, and that's why, Yeah,

623
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: the last two and a half seasons after that decent start,

624
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: to his tenure. Yeah, they've been extremely terrible. So that's

625
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: that's why they lost games. To me, it ain't Steven

626
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: Silas the man. It's this team full of kids as

627
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: they've tried to they've tried to lose games.

628
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. By all reports, they are going to prioritize a

629
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: more established coach for their next tenure. Some names being

630
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: thrown around in this initial coaching search Raptors head coach

631
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse, which we also talked to with talk to

632
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Kelly about Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson, former Lakers coach Frank Vogel,

633
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: ex Hornets coach James Barrego, ex Celtics coach Im Judoka,

634
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of other like sort of like

635
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: assistants that you always see, Idrian riff In, maybe Charles Lee,

636
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that. They have seven first round picks the

637
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: Rockets do through twenty twenty nine, so a lot of

638
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: first round packs and nearly sixty million dollars in cap space,

639
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: so they can pick directions here to go and try

640
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: and rebuild this. And they have some young talented players

641
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: obviously on this squad in Cheng Gooon and Jon Green

642
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: and some other pieces. So I mean I guess what

643
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here is like it doesn't look

644
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: to me if I was one of these coaches, Like

645
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: there's only thirty head coaches spots to begin with, so

646
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: they're very you know, they're they're not easy to get like,

647
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: so when one opens up, you, no matter the situation,

648
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: you might want to take it. But this doesn't look

649
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: brutal in terms of like starting a rebuilding process. I

650
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: would say in Houston with some talent, lots of cap

651
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: space and all your picks and very low expectations and

652
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: probably a bit of a runway to at least get

653
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: them back to a little bit more of a respectable

654
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: team here. Would you agree with that?

655
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: Ort know, you got some of the components for sure.

656
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah you got that cat, you got the cupboard, you

657
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: got some young players. Yeah, need the old guys to

658
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: help out, you need you need vets to help up.

659
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: It's like what Joe Cronin is saying with the Blazers,

660
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: this is this is going to be as you know,

661
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: he sat and faced the media, he said, this is

662
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: going to be a far older team with some vets

663
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: to string us along. That's exactly what has to happen

664
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: in Houston. So yeah, the players are the most important part,

665
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: and Tilman Furtida is extremely happy. I think with this

666
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: this outcome this season. The owner of the Rockets wanted

667
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: them to lose. He was at Marty Groop Parade in

668
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: February saying, pray for Victor, Pray for Victor Webb. So

669
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate that Silas is the fall guy. But yeah,

670
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: they they need the oldies. Eric Gordon, you know, the

671
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: guy guy who never really talks, played for this team,

672
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: ended up on the Clippers, basically said I hated it here.

673
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: I mean and that guy never talks. The locker room

674
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: just wasn't great. It was far, far, much too controlled

675
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 2: by all these rooks.

676
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: So that you feel bad for Silas in the sense

677
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: like this guy waited twenty years right as an assistant

678
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: head coach to get his crack at being an actual

679
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: head coach in the league, and then he thinks he's

680
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: coaching one team. It's completely blown up pretty quickly, and

681
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: then it's like, oh God, you're just holding on for

682
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: dear life. I'm almost amazed that he lasted three years,

683
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: and maybe they didn't have hadn't moved off them sort

684
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: of after last year.

685
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 2: But that's the end of this year.

686
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, money, yeah, especially with Fortita. Yeah. Dwayne Casey,

687
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: he's also out as Piston's head coach. He is going

688
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: to move to the front office. And this was announced

689
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday that he's going to step down as the

690
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: coach and like I said, move into an organizational role.

691
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: And he got to announce this. Really, this was Casey

692
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: telling the media handled a lot differently than Silas, sort

693
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: of being asked right away. Shocked at all TK with

694
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Casey moving off of head coaching into the front office.

695
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: Not really, I mean, maybe surprising the way it went down,

696
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: with Casey firing himself and getting promoted all at the

697
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: same time. But the Pistons, just like the Rockets, have

698
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: been bad for the past three seasons, and just like

699
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: Steven Silas, Dwayne Casey was not hired to be a

700
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: rebuilding guy. He was hired to take the Pistons back

701
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 3: to the playoff at during the Blake Griffin era. That's

702
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 3: a forgotten Pistons era, but he was an All NBA

703
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: player there for a second. He got hurt, his career

704
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 3: completely changed, as did the fortunes of the Pistons. So

705
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 3: I think maybe a smart move to keep Dwayne Casey

706
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 3: around as a voice in the front office, as a

707
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: guy who will help build a culture, just like he

708
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: did with the Raptors. But they probably want a younger

709
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: front coat head coach as opposed to the Rockets, who

710
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: are looking for somebody who's more established. I think that

711
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 3: Detroit will likely go the developing.

712
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: Coach rap Yeah, interesting, you agree with that?

713
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. And you just look at these

714
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 2: two organizations. There were no problems with the Pistons this year.

715
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 2: They had your boy on Bogdanovic's, your old guys trying

716
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: to lead the young guys who there are very, very

717
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: promising young guys on this team, just like the Rockets.

718
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: But no problems in the locker room, none of that

719
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: issue going on. And so Dwayne did a good job

720
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 2: of that. And I'm sure he just wants to take

721
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: a little break. He's been doing this coaching thing for

722
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: a long time. But yeah, I wonder who they go get.

723
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 2: Do they go real real young like a Charles Lee

724
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: or a Jordi Fernandez from Sacramento, or do they give

725
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: Stack a try with the Pistons ties there he's been

726
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: coaching for a while, Maybe not young enough for them

727
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: in terms of NBA head coaching. He's young. He's only

728
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: forty eight though overall is that number too big? Teams

729
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: like to go real young these days, Kenny can they're

730
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: too old. I think Kenny would be a really good fit.

731
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean he did that with Brooklyn pretty well before

732
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Durantz had you out of here, So I think,

733
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: you know, they have a lot of options. Yeah.

734
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: The Pistons season changed immediately after what was it twelve

735
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: games when Kate Cunningham went because they like we were

736
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: talking about the Pistons is like, oh, are they gonna

737
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: be a sneaky playing team. Are they gonna be battling

738
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: with the magic or something at the start of the

739
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: season they're gonna make like that little leap or we're

740
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna see it because they got obviously the number one

741
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: pick of the twenty twenty one draft there in Kaid

742
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: and then those plans were completely interrupted. He gets injured. Now,

743
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: Like in the games he played, it's not like they

744
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: were lighting it up like his stats were great, but

745
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: they were three and nine in the in the twelve

746
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: games to start the season there, but totally changes after that.

747
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: This is not a shock I mean, they've had the

748
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: worst winning percentage of the Pistons have since that one

749
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: postseason run that Casey was there. They win like a

750
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: quarter of their games. We're talking over what last four seasons,

751
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: So it's been bad for a long time. And yeah,

752
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: will they move in that direction that you guys are

753
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: saying a younger, more developmental coach because it was Stanband

754
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: and then you know it was Casey here, and so

755
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: do you go sort of away from that and give

756
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: one of these young guys like at Charles Lee I

757
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: think is probably at the top of a lot of

758
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: people's lists the young Bucks assistant coach an opportunity, and

759
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: then you know, Udoka's name is gonna be attached to

760
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: all these teams too, with an opening after leaving the

761
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: Celtics there and violating team rules and stuff like that.

762
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: But he's everybody. No one will be shocked if he's

763
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: when he's given another opportunity to coach team and he

764
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: might get to pick some of these teams. Is there

765
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: another head coach that could be Next year we lose Silas,

766
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: we lose Casey, who's on the hottest seat after that?

767
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: Those two guys, Nick.

768
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: Nurse, Okay, Nick Nurse's seat is boiling, But I think

769
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 3: that everybody just that kind of thinks he's gone regardless,

770
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: So I mean, is that seat hot or is he

771
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: warming it himself? I don't know, but he seems like

772
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: the next coach who will be employable West un South

773
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: Junior with the Wizards I think probably has to be

774
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: in the mix as well. They haven't done anything in

775
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: his couple of seasons as a head coach, so I

776
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: don't know what his contract status is, but if next

777
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 3: year is year three, that's kind of what Steven Silas

778
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: was looking at.

779
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's gonna at least get one more

780
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: crack at it. By all reports, Sunsel Junior, like Phillips,

781
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: is going to be coaching the Blazer. Still sounds like

782
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: Kid's gonna still be coaching the Mavericks if you believe

783
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: Cuban anyone else.

784
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Kid comes back. I think Cubes has

785
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: made an agreement with Kid, an agreement with Kyrie Irving

786
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 2: to sign re sign him. I think they're bringing everybody back.

787
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: It sure feels like to me. Yeah, I can't wait

788
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: to see what happens with the Rap situation, whether it's

789
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: just players on the move because there's going to be

790
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: a lot of changes. There has to be with all

791
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 2: their free agents plus Nick Nurse. I think you guys

792
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: covered in terms of guys who could go out. I

793
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 2: do think Billips comes back as well.

794
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, well, we snuck in the Mavericks there. Let's

795
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: talk about them. They made big news over the weekend.

796
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: We were live on playback when it was all going

797
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: down Tassina on Friday night, and the latest report is

798
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: the NBA is opening an investigation on the Mavericks, quote,

799
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: roster decisions and game conduct versus Trey Kirby's Chicago Bulls

800
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: Friday night tap where we suddenly learned, you know, Kyrie's

801
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: not playing. They shut down a bunch of other role players. Hey,

802
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: Luca's gonna play, but he's only gonna play the first

803
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: quarter because it's Slovenia night, and then we'll shut him down.

804
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: They had decided, all right, it's late in the season,

805
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: but you know what, we would rather our chances to

806
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: keep our top ten pick instead of give it to

807
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: the Knicks. And we don't really care to actually still

808
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: try and get in the play in which they were

809
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: technically still alive. They needed the Thunder to lose, which

810
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: they didn't in the end. But do you think the

811
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: NBA's going a little too far with like opening an

812
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: investigation into this, into tanking. But it's just late game,

813
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: blatant tanking here. It's not like other teams I've been

814
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: tanking for weeks.

815
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's jarring, for sure. They're playing their asses off.

816
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: In their previous game on the Wednesday night, Kyrie going

817
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: for nineteen. They had a great game against the Kings,

818
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: but then extremely strange that within forty eight hours they

819
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: just say, ah, we're done. We're gonna hope we can

820
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 2: keep our top ten pick. It's not even a lock,

821
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: but hope to keep a top ten pick. Now it's

822
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 2: an asset if they do keep it and tank for

823
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 2: two games, even a game and a half really, because

824
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: because Luca played for the first quarter, they were up

825
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 2: at half, and then they were pissed and said, all right,

826
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: well let's let's play some of our deeper bench guys,

827
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: the deepest of the deeps in the second half. And

828
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 2: then that last game. So yeah, they did it for

829
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: a game and a half. But the Spurs, Hornets, Pistons,

830
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 2: Who am I? I got the Rockets They've been doing

831
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: it forever. I mean they've been doing it for weeks.

832
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: So how do you turn around and say, hey, you

833
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: guys the Blazers, Yeah, the Blazers, the Wizards, the Pacers,

834
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: the Jazz, the.

835
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: Bulls were tanking the same game and didn't play right totally.

836
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: They were trying to improve their lottery odds as well,

837
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: but the MAVs did it better. I think the only

838
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 3: reason this is happening is because Jason Kidd basically came

839
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: out and admitted it. Said, the front office told me

840
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: not to play our guys, so we're tanking this game

841
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 3: way And it's Mark Q like he just submitted a

842
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: nonsense investigation to the league, which they overturned. So they say, hey, gotcha, sucker,

843
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: They're going to investigate them, and nothing's gonna happen because

844
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: everybody's doing this. If you're talking about games to shorten

845
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 3: the season last week of the season, we don't need

846
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 3: it pointless. Nobody played. Every team was tanking.

847
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: Every team.

848
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, then doesn't like the second last week of the

849
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 2: season becomes the last week of this season.

850
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: That's good. This is a good way to reduce standing there. Yeah,

851
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 3: there's some easy games to get rid of.

852
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got there's there's just no way you can

853
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 2: penalize them. It just doesn't make they've been doing it.

854
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: They did it the loudest of anybody because they just

855
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: yanked guys after playing so hard. But everybody's been doing

856
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: it far longer. It's kind of like when Greg Popovich

857
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: sat his guys against the Heat in a nationally televised

858
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: game and they got fined what was it, five hundred

859
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. It was some monstrous sum because they did

860
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: it really really loudly. They said, screw it and we're

861
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 2: not playing our guys. But if you do it quietly

862
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: like the Horns have been doing it all year, then

863
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: you don't get investigated. So that's the strange thing. They

864
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: can't get fined.

865
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: No, I don't think anything's gonna come of this. I

866
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: think the only issue with all of this really it's fine.

867
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: It's their decision to be like, you know what, we suck.

868
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do anything if even we get into

869
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: play in so who cares. Let's try and keep our

870
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: top ten protective pick. Okay, that's their decision. You just

871
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: hope there's no lingering effects from what your message. Your

872
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: direction as an organization is saying to your star player

873
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: in Luka Doncic. Now, some reports are like the guy

874
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: was frustrated, he wanted to play, you know, it was

875
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: the whole Slovenia night. That's probably while he played the

876
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: one quarter to begin with. Otherwise why would he have played.

877
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, he just like, Okay, these people come for

878
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: this night, you know, I at least show my face.

879
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: I'll get out there, put up some stats all that,

880
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: and then even played like what thirty seconds of the

881
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: second quarter so then they could sub him out, thinking

882
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: there would be a huge applause, and it was like crickets.

883
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: I was like okay, but like, just as long as

884
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: he they can convince him after the fact, like hey this,

885
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: I know this sucked. This was very disappointing. After the

886
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: Kyrie trade, We're not even in the plan for crying

887
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: out loud. As long as he's on board and starting

888
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: next season, then you're fine. Then I don't think anything matters.

889
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: If this really sits bad with him and he's like

890
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: screw this, this is loser mentality. I want nothing to

891
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: do with it, you know, and then we get into

892
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: a superstar demaining of trade then of course brutal. I

893
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: don't think that'll be the case. I think in the moment, ugh,

894
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: it looked bad, feels gross, But I don't know. Something

895
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: tells me I think he'll you know's I'm reading things now.

896
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: He says, I'm happy here, there's nothing to worry about.

897
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah.

898
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: So it was just real, real, weird. It See Mike

899
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban sitting there courtside when the MAVs shot themselves

900
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: out of the game at the end of the fourth quarter,

901
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 2: kind of smiling, kind of smirking, sitting beside Kyrie irving like,

902
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: all right, goal achieved here of hopefully having our.

903
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: Pick, which is given it's a great point.

904
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 2: They have an eighty percent chance, it's pretty high, of

905
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 2: keeping their top ten pick. But the other teams, the eleven, twelve, thirteen,

906
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: and fourteen can jump them, and and they dropped down

907
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: to eleventh and then their pickles to the Knicks. But

908
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: just a strange scenario because they play their asses off

909
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: forty eight hours before and did their odds diminish like

910
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: between Wednesdays, and the.

911
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: Thunder won that game, yes a little bit, because they

912
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: also won that night.

913
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but still like the Thunder had another game

914
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: and if the Thunder lost, then the Maps could be

915
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 2: in the playing tournament. Yeah, like what nothing actually changed.

916
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: They just got cute, look super cute and decided we're

917
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: not going to play. And Luca went and faced the

918
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: media after and Kyrie Irving did not after that game

919
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: or after the season was all done. So just an

920
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: odd scenario, but I think yeah, with Kyrie sitting there

921
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: beside Cubes, they all had discussed it, right, Like I

922
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 2: assume Cubes said to Kyrie and to Luca, who wasn't

923
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 2: happy about it, and to Kid, I mean, this is

924
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: what we're doing. But I don't know. It is strange.

925
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: Lucas seemed like he wanted to play. Seems like they're

926
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: all on the same page to come back next year

927
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: and do whatever.

928
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: Well I think will be there, Yeah, Kyrie, I.

929
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 2: Think Kyrie signs. Yeah, whether or not he demands a

930
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 2: demands out next year, that's a different story.

931
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: But okay, we'll see some other news from the weekend.

932
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: This was weird news. Jayalen Brown got five stitches after

933
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: cutting his hand on glass. This happened on Friday night.

934
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: He told reporters before that game against Toronto cut his

935
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: right hand picking up a glass vase he knocked over

936
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: while watering his plants. Had to get five stitches. His

937
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: hand was heavily bandaged. Now he says he's he was pissed,

938
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be good to go come the postseason.

939
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: Like we said, they played their first game on Saturday.

940
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: You water plants, they were knocked over a vaz tried

941
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to tried to pick it up with your bare hands,

942
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: and pretty.

943
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: Nice with that though. Yeah, I've got a great motor skills.

944
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 3: Bill will pinch to grab it. I don't know. I

945
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 3: don't have much of a take from that except for that.

946
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 3: I think there will be one Boston Celtics postseason game

947
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 3: that has to get stopped because of blood. Somebody's gonna

948
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 3: hit him on his hand, start bleeding against up.

949
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's.

950
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: On his right hand.

951
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: It's true, So I would be hacking that hand. Do

952
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 3: you believe that? I mean, especially if they end up

953
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: playing against the Miami Heat, you know they'll be taking

954
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 3: shots at that. He Jimmy Butler chopping.

955
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: Do you believe that Jaylen Brown cut himself on a

956
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: glass vase five stitches? And this is not a cover

957
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: for anything else you know? Okay, now I don't.

958
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 3: Five stitches, that's too many? How big is that?

959
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: Vaz? Yeah, A lot of questions. Still, what do you

960
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: think here? Tassy? Just like you're not too like he'll

961
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: be back apparently.

962
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: Apparently he's already starting to there's reports he's gonna start

963
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: practicing soon. So that's a good sign. I guess I

964
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 2: was more surprised by your technique of watering plants. We

965
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: found out this while we were doing playback on Friday,

966
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: and we talked about watering plants in the whole scenario.

967
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: And you take your plants put them in the tub,

968
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: in the.

969
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: Tub, a lot of them, Yeah, especially the big boys. Yeah,

970
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: gotta give him a good drink.

971
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: But you're a type of guy that likes measuring things

972
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: like you would never you'd never over water. I don't

973
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: think if it's just on the floor, like, is that

974
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 2: that's the way when you put in a top that

975
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna overwater?

976
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, you don't go overboard for sure.

977
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 2: Okay, so why I put it in the tub.

978
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: I'll clean those leaves a little bit, get someone there. Yeah,

979
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: you just have.

980
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 2: To like to me. I just don't want to move it,

981
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: So I would I would rather take that small chance

982
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: of overwatering then have to move it.

983
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: That's where we're built different.

984
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's the smart move. Maybe that was

985
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown's problem. He was transporting a vase to his

986
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 3: child shower or hold on.

987
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: We don't know there was there was plants or flowers

988
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: in the actual vase. It could have been a decorative vase.

989
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: That him moving the other things knocked over.

990
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 3: We need more, we need more detail. It seemed like

991
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: he would have house plans.

992
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 2: Well.

993
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: There was a tweet going around like a month prior

994
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: or like that. He was saying, water your playots, So

995
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: guess he does.

996
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 3: Uh.

997
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: My only final piece of news here, guys. Grizzly center

998
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: Stephen Adams he is likely to miss the postseason due

999
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: to a knee injury. And then, in a corresponding move,

1000
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: they did sign Kenneth Lofton junior and put up a

1001
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: monster line there. On Sunday, they signed him to a

1002
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: standard NBA contract, but in order to do so with Lofton,

1003
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: they waived twenty year old guard Kennedy Chandler, which was

1004
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: a little perplexing because he had just signed one of

1005
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: the largest guaranteed deals for a second rounder, that four year,

1006
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: seven point one million dollar deal. So Adams probably not

1007
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: going to play at all. Lofton in there now and

1008
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: Kennedy Chandler gone because of it? Any takes strange, Yeah,

1009
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: a little strange.

1010
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 2: Who's going to do the dancing? Chandler was the dance man,

1011
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: it was, it was often a dance leader.

1012
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: Indeed, Yeah, Streach thought Dylan Brooks was lading yesterday.

1013
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah he's been down.

1014
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks, what a look that was awesome?

1015
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: How would you describe that for the podcast listener? What

1016
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: did he look like Dave Navarro meets a vampire?

1017
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that new Nicholas Cage vampire movie or like a

1018
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 3: West Coast rapper from the late nineties said like DJ

1019
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 3: quickly quick? Yeah, Drew downs another good one. I saw

1020
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 3: a lot of some people thought he looked like Lord

1021
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 3: Farquad from.

1022
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: This what a liar right now?

1023
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: What a look like?

1024
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: Recently he had the he looked like a care bear

1025
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 1: with did you see that jacket that was going around

1026
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: like the pink and green like puffy jacket. I know

1027
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: he just keeps coming and left so fast and furious

1028
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: this guy, uh, because he wears tank tops sometimes. Yeah,

1029
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: what a look from Dylan Brooks. All right, any other

1030
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: thoughts on yesterday's action playing games.

1031
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: The more on Dylan. More on Dylan, because it's really

1032
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 2: weird because they were in the tunnel coming out, but

1033
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: he had a jacket and a chain on, like usually

1034
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 2: they're just in their warm ups. You get a look.

1035
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was like he had to show it off.

1036
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: He's part of the team.

1037
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 3: Come dance with us.

1038
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: I like thinking, it's Doris Burka change.

1039
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. He wasn't playing. I had forgotten about

1040
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 2: that part.

1041
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's still doing his little because.

1042
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: He has been leading recently.

1043
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: Tell me if this is something true. Steven Adams missing

1044
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 3: the postseason blessing in disguise long term for the Memphis Grizzlies.

1045
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: Go on.

1046
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 3: I think Steven Adams is instrumental to the Grizzlies. Tough,

1047
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 3: huge on the glass, one of the best offensive rebounders,

1048
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 3: awesome screener for John Morant, which gets him a ton

1049
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 3: of open looks inside. However, Grizzlies are bad in half

1050
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 3: court offense a lot because they play a lot of

1051
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 3: non shooters. They play Dylan Brooks, He's gonna shoot it

1052
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: not a great percentage. They play Steven Adams a lot,

1053
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 3: he's not a three point shooter, and their other wing,

1054
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 3: Desmond Bane awesome shooter. Jaw's not a shooter, so it

1055
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 3: can be tough. I think the best version of the

1056
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 3: Grizzlies in the future will be Jared Jackson junior full

1057
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: time five, because he can play outside. As we've seen,

1058
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 3: he can play inside and it just gets a little

1059
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 3: more shooting on the court. So I think in the

1060
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 3: interim it'll be tough for the Grizzlies morphing into a

1061
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 3: new identity, but I think long term it'll be like

1062
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: when Chris Bosh went out with his abdomen injury against

1063
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 3: the Pacers and suddenly Shane Battye it became like the

1064
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: best small ball four in the NBA out of nowhere,

1065
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 3: and suddenly the heat were like, whoa, if we play

1066
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 3: like that, we're gonna be unbeatable, they were. So I

1067
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 3: think that's gonna be tough for the Grizzlies now, but

1068
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 3: long term, I think it'll be fine. Realizing we don't

1069
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 3: have to play a huge, hulking center all the time.

1070
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: YEA, right, you got me some truth to that.

1071
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 2: Sure, the best version of them is definitely junior at

1072
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: the five for sure.

1073
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 3: And he's been balling Steven Adams out, So I mean, like,

1074
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 3: surely they'll go with Tillman quite a bit, but I

1075
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 3: think he'll get played off the court in the playoffs,

1076
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 3: so they're gonna have to go with smaller guys and

1077
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior doing everything a kg impersonation basically.

1078
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be nice if Brandon Clark was there

1079
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: to just be a different guy.

1080
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so weird heading into the Western Conference playoffs

1081
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: this weekend where it feels like we are higher maybe

1082
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: rightfully so on teams that are seated four, six and seven,

1083
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: so Sons, Warriors, and Lakers than we are on teams one, two,

1084
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: three in the Nuggets, Grizzlies and Kinks.

1085
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 3: Right, definitely, Nuggets have had a weird one, like brutal exactly.

1086
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 3: They can't. I don't take much from the Nuggets last

1087
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 3: three weeks of the season. They got the number one seed,

1088
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: they beat the Grizzlies, and then they're like, all right,

1089
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: let's just make it to the end of the season.

1090
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 3: And they did, which is good, But I don't know,

1091
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 3: I think they're still going to be good in the playoffs,

1092
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 3: but I definitely have question marks about the Grizzlies and

1093
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 3: the Kings.

1094
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: I can't wait.

1095
00:52:58,719 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait long.

1096
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 3: You kind of got a wait long wait, Yeah, wait

1097
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: a little bit.

1098
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna take a break when we come back.

1099
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: Tweet the night. Don't go anywhere, all right, back here

1100
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 1: in the factory. Let's get to tweet the night.

1101
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night.

1102
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 1: Wow, we've talked enough hoops on this podcast. This tweet

1103
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: of the Knight's got nothing to do with the NBA

1104
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: or basketball. It's about the movies. At Zach Silberberg, he

1105
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: shared a screen grab of what I believe is like

1106
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: his letterbox review of the movie. I think that's what

1107
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: it is. Anyway. He gave it two and a half stars.

1108
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: To the Super Mario Brothers movie, He wrote, the best

1109
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: part of this movie was the fact that I saw

1110
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: a Saturday matinee. The theater was full of families with

1111
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: kids who gave commentary throughout. When the Nintendo logo came

1112
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: on at the beginning, one kid said, Nintendo switch. Every

1113
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: time Mario was on screen, some tiny voice went, that's Mario.

1114
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: After Bowser gave a big speech about destroying the mushroom Kingdom.

1115
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 1: The six year old kid behind me said, oh, calm down.

1116
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: I had the time of my life. And uh, I

1117
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: also saw this movie Saturday, Matt name maybe me saw

1118
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: it with my godkid's seven year olds. They loved it

1119
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of talking throughout the movie,

1120
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: a lot of like, that's Princess Peach, that's Toad. Yeah,

1121
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: I played the games too, guys.

1122
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 3: That review was one true to my experience. Saw yes

1123
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 3: and my kids were identifying every character that came on

1124
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 3: and at one point Isla said, oh, that was really

1125
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 3: rude to Luigi. I loved it. Make sure you pay

1126
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 3: close attention. There is a no Dunks Easter egg in

1127
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 3: in Super Mario Brothers, the movie I didn't see. It's

1128
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 3: it's when Mario comes to his house for dinner.

1129
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 2: For the first time.

1130
00:54:54,239 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: Oh I like that scene what he walks in. They go, ao, hey,

1131
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna say there was a wedgie stuck in a

1132
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: pipe somewhere or something there might be.

1133
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 3: Did you like it?

1134
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1135
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 3: I did like it. I did like it, And you know,

1136
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 3: I think going around on Twitter and stuff and on

1137
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes, it's that like the critics score is like

1138
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 3: fifty five and the audience scores like ninety nine was

1139
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 3: exactly yeah, exactly right. It's not there will be blood,

1140
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 3: but it's an awesome movie about video games that I

1141
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: usually want to play video games.

1142
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of fun, like Easter eggs for

1143
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: all of us old people out there, to all these

1144
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: little nostalgia like sort of in the background and stuff

1145
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: like that.

1146
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 3: That's fun.

1147
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 2: You gotta take the kids, oh for sure.

1148
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1151
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: to a movie theater. We went to the eleven fifteen

1152
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: showing movies. Movies didn't start till eleven thirty, so many trailers.

1153
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: Holy crap.

1154
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: Was the popcorn popping at eleven fifty? It was?

1155
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: And I said it was the best time to come

1156
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: of the movie theater. Is h popcorn?

1157
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: Nice?

1158

Speaker 3: Yeah, breakfast? I had something we saw it nude. I

00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 3: got up late that day. The first thing, just going

1160
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 3: to the movies. Nice breakfast, the popcorn and sour patch kids.

1161
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's hear your thoughts on the Super

1162
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie and were you a fan or not,

1163
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: or do you believe they could have done more with

1164
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: Bowser's character and sort of like you know where he

1165
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: was coming from. Anyway, I enjoyed it too, And the kids, Yeah,

1166
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: they thought it was incredible. They're just but it's so weird,

1167
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: like I don't know what you guys have kids, But

1168
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: like I'm watching them and I'm like, are they enjoying this?

1169
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: Like they're so serious. They're just standing there staring at them,

1170
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm like they're other I don't know,

1171
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: are they And then you know, I think in my head, like, ah,

1172
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: they're not gonna like this. That's the strangest movie I've

1173
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: ever seen that, Like, oh, well, your face didn't say that? Yeah.

1174
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: Kids, man, it's tough to read if they're in their seat.

1175
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 2: They liked it.

1176
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 3: We were That's a great key task because Islah liked it.

1177
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 3: She was in on the whole movie, commenting the entire time,

1178
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 3: and AIDA's made comment was I do not like this.

1179
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,919
Speaker 3: I do not like too scary. Yeah, just a suspenseful

1180
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: yeah and scary. So she ended up on Laura's lap,

1181
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 3: which exactly right. I said, Ada, what do you think

1182
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 3: of the movie?

1183
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 2: Wow?

1184
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 3: Three quarters down? Not bad enough to leave, but I

1185
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 3: think she'll turn around once once she realized it's not scared.

1186
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: Okay, that's suspenseful.

1187
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: It's it starts with Bowser and his big old you know,

1188
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: what do you call it? Almosts like almost spaceship is

1189
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: mountain spaceship?

1190
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: What the hell do you kill that?

1191
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure it has a name. The cannon, Yeah, yeah,

1192
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but like Ada didn't

1193
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 3: let us watch the coccamora scene in Mawana for two

1194
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 3: years too. Scary man, all those tidy little coconuts.

1195
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: So I felt like it was a great story though

1196
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: if you have two kids, though, because it's about obviously

1197
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: the brothers, you know, and they're better together and stuff

1198
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: like that. So anyway, sums up from me like popcorn

1199
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: fresh had a water, had a waters too early for

1200
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: a coke. Even I couldn't have a coke. They had slurpees.

1201
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: There's no rules. It's like an airport. There's really no

1202
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: rules out of theater, no matter what time it is.

1203
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed it. Let's call it there, guys, thanks
