56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: is a Monday pod, which means we have winners and

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: losers of the NBA weekend. But we also had a

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: weggie our twenty fifth of the season. It was the

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: Hawks Lakers game on Friday night, and it was Russell

60
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: Westbrook sticking up the very deep wedgie there on the

61
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: three point attempt, Westbrook becoming the first player this season

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: to give us two weggies nice in the area. That's

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: Russ's second. And we're at twenty five halfway there task

64
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: to that magical number.

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Fifty yeah, and on pace for fifty two even though

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: we're basically at the midway point of the season. Because

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: we count the playoffs, right, yeah, so it makes sense

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: we get two in the playoffs where there's about eighty games. Brilliant, Okay,

69
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: good work.

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome, stuff there to get a wedgie there from Russ. Okay,

71
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: let's get into the winners of the NBA weekend. I

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: feel like we have lots to tackle. Yeah here, so

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: tasks get us start at where you're going.

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of twos, the number two seed in the East,

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets, they got two grinded out type wins. Yeah,

76
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: the Nets are winning games like that right now. And

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: one piece of potential bad news that we'll get to

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: in a sec. But Friday in New Orleans, Brooklyn grind

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: went out against the Pelicans, where Durant and Kyrie shot

80
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: a combined thirty three percent. So you'd think a Nets

81
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: win in a game like that. Well, they do share

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: the ball enough. Royce O'Neil hit four threes, TJ Warren

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: that sneaky signing fifteen off the bench, but still just

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: four guys in double figures. How did they win? Well?

85
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons is playing great defense. He did a good

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: job against c J. McCollum in the fourth one of

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: his three steals late and a block on CJ. McCollum.

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: And also big Nick Claxton he is coming through two

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: of his five blocks in the fourth, So Durant Kyrie, O'Neill,

90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: Claxton and Simmons to me, doesn't sound like an elite defense,

91
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: but they're doing great. They know their role. Since Kyrie

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: came back from his team and post suspension twenty four

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: games ago, the fifth best defensive rating in the National

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: Basketball Associations. Yeah, so hop to Sunday Brooklyn play in Miami.

95
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: A good one. It was fun. It was had that

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: playoff vibe to it. It was a tough, gritty game.

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just because the heat. We're wearing their

98
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: thirty fifth anniversary jerseys going way back with the throwbacks

99
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: to the you know Lonzo was wearing those. Anyways, it

100
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: was a grinding out game. Third quarter because it's a

101
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: playoff type game. Kyle Lowry of course, slides under Kevin

102
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: Durant takes the charge. Durant goes down, holds the knee

103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: for a bit, stays in, plays through it. Then late

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: in the third quarter has to hold his knee again.

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: When Jimmy Butler goes into the lane, Ben Simmons blocks him.

106
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Ben playing great defense. Butler goes to the floor, kind

107
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: of rolls into Kevin Durant's leg and he tried to

108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: fight through it again, but he took himself out of

109
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: the game. There will be an MRI back in New

110
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: York today on that right knee, and it looks and

111
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: feels terrible because Kevin Durant was injured last year on

112
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: a similar play where his teammate Bruce Brown rolled into

113
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: his other knee where he had that sprain knee and

114
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: their season kind of spiraled out of control from there.

115
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: But we still don't know what's going on with Kevin Durant,

116
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: so hopefully things will be all right. And the Heat

117
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: should have won that game going into the fourth quarter

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: without Durant. They're healthy, but they play some ugly basketball.

119
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: They only had nineteen points in the fourth quarter and

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: still they're up one late even after some ugly possessions,

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: they miss a shot. Kyrie Irving comes down the other

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: way fifteen seconds left. Again they're down one, so they

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: can go into the lane and do what they want.

124
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: He pulls up six feet behind the line, way deep. Yeah,

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: going forward with ten seconds left, and it works out

126
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: well because Royce O'Neil rebounds, just dumps it back in.

127
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: That's the game winner. He actually did that back on

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: November twenty seventh against the Blazers and that win exact

129
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: same thing. Second put back buzzer beater, that win kicked

130
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: off in eighteen and two stretch for the Nets that

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: they're in the mid stuff right here, the greatest twenty

132
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: game stretch in franchise history. And Roy O'Neil went vertical

133
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: on the other end to stop Jimmy Butler's attempt. Did

134
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: he contact really?

135
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: I thought he? Yea said after the game, No, you

136
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: can't call that classic Jimmy move. It's like, no, I

137
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: should have scored it.

138
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely lots of contact there was. Yeah, it was

139
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: a big bump. Yeah, but I thought he went pretty

140
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: vertical anyway. Three blocks were right one in this game.

141
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: He fought it out, but just nets overall. Since Kyri

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: returned twenty four games ago, best record in the league, first,

143
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: offensive rating, first in offensive rating, I should say, second

144
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: in net rating, fifth and defensive rating. As I said,

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: twenty wins, four losses, and I think they can still

146
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: get better, and they can probably get a backup big

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: to back up Nick Claxton, because who's playing really well,

148
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: but they don't have one. Simmons is often playing back

149
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: up big and Claxton is young even though he's coming along,

150
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: you might want to get a backup. Big Simmons can

151
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: still approve offensively, so man, yeah, but this shocking.

152
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: This all goes poof if we find out the worst

153
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: news with Kevin durantney and hopefully not agreed, right, we

154
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: just wait and see here. I don't know if we

155
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: find out today or tomorrow. The extent of that injury

156
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: misses a little bit of time. This is no time

157
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: or miss significant time because this guy obviously with the

158
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: legs before and having sort of two instances in this

159
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: game where you could hurt something. Hopefully not though, because

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: they look real good right.

161
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: Now they look great, but that looked bad, definitely bad.

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: The way Jimmy rolled up on his leg from behind.

163
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: I think that happened to Durant like the twenty eighteen

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: season as well, right something along those lines. He missed

165
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: the last chunk of the season for the Warriors way

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: back when.

167
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: I happened last year when Bruce Brown rolled into yeah yeah, yeah.

168
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it happened to Lebron with Solomon Hill not

169
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: too long ago. Things have been different for the Lakers

170
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: ever since. That's the biggest news for the Nets right

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: now is what's going to be the deal with Kevin

172
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: Durant's leg because he holds everything together. I don't Kyrie's

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: been awesome since he's come back from suspension, but if

174
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: he's the only guy out there, it's a different impact

175
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 4: than Kevin Durant is the guy out there. So I'm

176
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: fine with them being winners of the weekend for now

177
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: until we get news about that Kevin Durant injury, because

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: that is the huge question. But what a play by

179
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: Utah Watson hobby to even keep that ball alive that

180
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: Roy O'Neil was able to dink and dump back in there.

181
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: So a couple of nice recoveries there by the Nets,

182
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: especially after goes down with the injury, to bounce back

183
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: and win the fourth quarter and just keep making plays

184
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: down the stretch to get the dub.

185
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different team absolutely, also crazy Just Stack

186
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: caught me by surprise. You know you said this run

187
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: they're on where they'll go eighteen and two here over

188
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,239
Speaker 3: their last twenty the Nets did. This is from statitudes.

189
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: They have the best record in NBA history now through

190
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: forty games. The Nets too, among teams who were below

191
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: five hundred in their first twenty games of the year.

192
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: So that run there where they go on this eighteen

193
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: to two run of the last twenty have got them

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: to twenty seven and thirteen here after forty games. And

195
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: that's better than the Spurs back in ninety two ninety

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: three who started slowly and then went on a huge run.

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 3: And the Bucks in two thousand and two thousand and

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: one same thing where they started slowly, were under five

199
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: hundred twenty games in and then just that part of

200
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: the season went on a massive run saw the championship.

201
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: So we're right to not believe in them because it's

202
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: a unique situation. I think, I don't know why i

203
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: want to pat myself on the back, but I'm saying

204
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: they came along late, you know, in a season really

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: is to come along to be this good in there.

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 4: Second, well, we've played a lot of bad teams. Yeah,

207
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: I've beaten mostly under five hundred teams. That's why this

208
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: win against the Heat is really good because it was

209
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: their record against five hundred teams. But to have a

210
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 4: home court advantage series, you gotta beat the bad teams.

211
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: Take a look at the Bulls. They've been beating good

212
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: teams this year and losing to the bad teams and

213
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: that's why they're down in the ninth seed.

214
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: Yep, we'll get to them in a second home. But you,

215
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: Trey have another winner of the weekend. Let's do it.

216
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: Lakers also winner of the weekend. They beat the Hawks

217
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: and the Kings this weekend. They're now on a five

218
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 4: game win streak. Lebron was awesome as usual in both

219
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 4: of these. Against the Hawks, he went for twenty five points,

220
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: seven rebounds, and ten assists. Against the Kings, the King

221
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: went for thirty seven, eight rebounds and seven assists. You

222
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: could say he's on a lebron esque run right now.

223
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: We'll talk a little bit more about him in a minute, because,

224
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: to me, the unsung hero of the Lakers surge Thomas

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: Bryant's Thomas Bryant has been balling nineteen points thirteen rebounds

226
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: against the Hawks, twenty nine points fourteen rebounds against the Kings.

227
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: He's got good size, he's got good athleticism, he looks

228
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: pretty healthy, and he's playing with incredible activity since he

229
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: moved into the starting lineup when Anthony Davis went down.

230
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: Seventeen points per game, ten rebounds per game, sixty seven

231
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: percent from the field. Basically, him and Dennis Shrewder have

232
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: kind of saved the season for the Lakers right now,

233
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: being able to step up and produce with Anthony Davis

234
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 4: going down and he was playing at an MVP like level.

235
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 4: Lakers are now a half game back of the tenth seed,

236
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: only a game back of the sixth seed, and three

237
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 4: games back from hosting a playoff series in the fourth seed.

238
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: Because the middle of the West has been absolutely brutal,

239
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: we did get some minor Lebron drama over the weekend.

240
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: The Athletic Sam Amick reported on an off the cuff

241
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: convo with Lebron after the Kings win. The biggest part,

242
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: Sam says, the idea that a team would hold onto

243
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: some picks and wait for next year, to which Lebron responds, well,

244
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: if you guys know, then you guys know, you guys know.

245
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: I don't need to talk about it. You guys know.

246
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: But if you stay quiet, Sam says, then time's going

247
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 4: to keep marching on.

248
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Now.

249
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: Lebron said, listen, you guys know, it's not rocket science.

250
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: It's not rocket science. Then at the end of brief pause,

251
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: as Lebron walks away in one final unmistakable comment that

252
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: was shouted from nearly twenty feet away. Y'all know what

253
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: the f should be happening. I don't need to talk.

254
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: Got a lot of reedsweets, got a lot of buzz,

255
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 4: including a quote tweet from Lebron himself, who said, Hey, Sam, actually,

256
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: my patience isn't waning. You make it sound like I'm

257
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: frustrated when I'm really not. I told you over and

258
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: over my job is focused on the guys in the

259
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: locker room. My job isn't the roster. That's the reality

260
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: of that conversation. And I said what I said with

261
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: the utmost respect and calmness, because that's the mood I'm in.

262
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: You're welcome five game winning streak.

263
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: Damn politician playing both sides.

264
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: Politician playing both sides at the very latest. This is

265
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: a Lebron showcase. He is dominating when he is on

266
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: the court, showing Rob Polinka, this team can win games.

267
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: We're winning games with me, Thomas Bryant and Dennis Schreuder

268
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,599
Speaker 4: as our big three. Imagine what would happen if you

269
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: trade this pick a thousand years in the future. So

270
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 4: even if Lebron is still having patients, because the team

271
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: is actually able to win some games right now. Even

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 4: if he's not trying to put pressure on the front office,

273
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: this is putting pressure on the front office. Yeah, and

274
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to make a movie.

275
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

276
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't think Lebron wants to hurt any of his

277
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: teammates feelings, but he doesn't give a shit about the

278
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: feelings of the twenty seven and twenty nine first round picks.

279
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that who cares?

280
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly what if it's Bryce James, Oh.

281
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true, that would be it'll be wild. But yeah,

282
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: I mean that that report there from amic and then

283
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: him following it up, it's he's just saying, this isn't

284
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: rocket science. He's like, I'm still Lebron James. We have

285
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: a d we are winning games. You know, I am

286
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: not getting any younger, and if you want to actually

287
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: compete for a title, I believe I can still get

288
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 3: us there. So go get some more reinforcements with those picks. Right, Absolutely,

289
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: that's what I read into it.

290
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, we're the winners of the weekend because

291
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna have a trait to talk about. I think

292
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: that's unnaiable. At some point here, in the next four

293
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: and a half weeks. We're counting down the days there's

294
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: going to be a trade. Lebron's a winner because he's

295
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: leveraging his power. The Lakers might be a loser because

296
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: they give up a twenty seventh first round pick or

297
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: twenty ninth first round pick. But I think what we're

298
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: going towards is them getting a secondary type part. They're

299
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: not going to get a third star, and that's fine.

300
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: You don't really need a third star with Lebron and

301
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. But I think whether it's a bog Danovich

302
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: that's probably the top end, you know, whether it's a

303
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Buddy Heel, that type of thing. But we're in a

304
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: good spot, thanks Bron. Four hundred and twenty two points away.

305
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Oh it's almost getting it's almost getting closer. You can

306
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: just you can feel it. You can basically as anyone

307
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: who NPT it out, where when is it happening?

308
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: I know you're still convinced it's going down in MSG

309
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: in February?

310
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Is that right outside chance? Let's say he's got to

311
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: put up some points to get that.

312
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: He's got a score like he's been scoring for the

313
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: past month to get there.

314
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not miss a game.

315
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: Or if he misses a game, just score sixty in.

316
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: The What did you think about the ending of that

317
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: Sacramento Kings Los Angeles Lakers game where you know, similar

318
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: to the heat Nets game with Jimmy Butler not getting

319
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: the call there Fox the opposite happening with him. He

320
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: thought it was ridiculous that he got called for the

321
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: foul there on. I believe it was shrewd driving in

322
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: the room at a little contact around the hip area.

323
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: I guess what's the meme inside of all of us?

324
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: There are two wolves inside of deer, and there are

325
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: two foxes. Because he says the players should decide the

326
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 4: game out there, but it was a different tune and

327
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: when the Grizzly or when the Kings were not winning

328
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: because the rest were missing calls, so then they wanted

329
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: the rest to decide the games.

330
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: So you know, it wasn't a well officiated game because

331
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: it was all over the map. I will agree with that,

332
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: but okay, any thoughts on that one.

333
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: Can't call it.

334
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: I don't think the one that Fox called you thought

335
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: that was very light?

336
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: It was light, It was it was light. It's just

337
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: a tough time. I don't like changing the rules in

338
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: the last seconds, but you gotta change the rules in

339
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: the last seconds.

340
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: All right. So the Nets and Lakers winners of the

341
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: weekend according to these guys, I would like to give

342
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: a winner of the weekend to something I'm calling Young Magic,

343
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: all right. I'm not talking about Irvin Johnson back at

344
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: Michigan State. I'm not talking about game winning touchdown drive

345
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: from Steve Young. I'm not even talking about Trey Kirby's

346
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: eight year old daughter showing a little card trick to

347
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: me this weekend. Blew my mind. She guessed my card seven.

348
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: The clubs still know how she did it. I am

349
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 3: talking about showing a little love winter the weekend to

350
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: the two young Magic players in Palla Bake Harrow and

351
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: Franz Wagner, Cuz they got one really impressive win in

352
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: Golden State. They beat the Warriors. Those guys combined for

353
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: forty nine points. They won one to fifteen, one to

354
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: one on Saturday night in the Bay, the Magic's first

355
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: win on the Warriors home floor in more than ten years.

356
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: So we're talking to decades since they've gone in there

357
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: and got a victory. And it's really because of those two,

358
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: and I know we've talked a ben about teams that

359
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: are sort of set up here for maybe quick turnaround

360
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: next season of a season after they're right there. They have

361
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: the best rookie by far. He's winning Rookie of the year.

362
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: It's I mean, I almost think he could not play

363
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: a single game from here on out in Bank Harold

364
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 3: would rightfully get it. Twenty one, seven and four. He's

365
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: averaging thirty three games. And then is Franz Wagner the

366
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: best sophomore in the NBA right now? When you compare

367
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: like Kid injured, Scottie struggling jail and Green a bit

368
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: of a black hole. Who else the shen Gunn's been

369
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: good but Kidd he's been good, But yeah he is.

370
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: Franz is great. Twenty points per game, four and three

371
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 3: and a half, shooting forty nine percent from the field,

372
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: thirty five percent from deep. That could still go up.

373
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: I mean, so they got they got the best guy

374
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 3: from the twenty twenty two draft. They got the guy

375
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: in his second year that's at least improved and maintained

376
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: his level and his rookie year the most or gotten

377
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: better in Franz. That's a nice one. Too, and Markel

378
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: Foltz in Saturday's game against the Warriors, solid sixteen points,

379
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: seven assists, five boards, and six steals, and were always

380
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: talking about the Magic.

381
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: Just need a need guard, one guard, just one guard, run.

382
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: The ship there, and he played well and he's played

383
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 3: well recently. So some love to the young Magic.

384
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to see Franz Wagner get increased opportunity

385
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 2: because his usage rate's gone way up. They're giving him

386
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: the ball more and definitely executing in that getting better

387
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: with that increased opportunity. We'll throw Evan Mobley's name in there.

388
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 3: Evan, it only has been really solid.

389
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: Solid, solid, but you know, less be usage because Donovan

390
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: Mitchell came over. But Franz, no one really expected when

391
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: he was drafted to be second best player to be

392
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: a twenty point per game guy, even though every team

393
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: has a twenty point per game guy now or two

394
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: or three, and just being extremely efficient. He's been great,

395
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: So so good.

396
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: To ask back to you, who's another winner of the weekend.

397
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Memphis Grizzlies. They've won six in

398
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: a row. Kind of sneaky to me that they're tied

399
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: for the Western conference lead right now. I know they've

400
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: sort of been up there all season long, but I

401
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: think we kind of taken them for granted, maybe because

402
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: they're a fifty six win team last year, but they've

403
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: had plenty of injuries they've battled through. I think we

404
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: talked about the Nuggets injuries way more than Desmond Baine

405
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: being out, Jaron Jackson Junior being out, and to go

406
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: on with the injuries, John rant out versus the Jazz

407
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday. They only had one game this weekend, but

408
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: the depth won another game for them. They had a

409
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: forty three point second quarter. Guys like Santi al Dama,

410
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: who is starting all season long, then went back to

411
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: the bench, Kennedy Chandler, third string point guard jumping into

412
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: the mix, Sire Williams who's been hurt, David de Bodi Roddy,

413
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 2: he's got a smooth game, and then Jaron Jackson Junior

414
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: was really the whole game in the depth, of course,

415
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: but Jared Jackson Junior stepped in with five big blocks.

416
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: That's what he does. He's leading the league in blocks,

417
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: even though he doesn't qualify quite yet. He's obviously a

418
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: defensive Player of the Year candidate. He fouled out first time.

419
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: He's filed out all season long, and that's sort of

420
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: been the rep around him that he hasn't been able

421
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: to stay on the court. But he does have the

422
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: fewest amount of fouls in his career per game, three

423
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: per game. But he wouldn't have filed out if Steven

424
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: Adams was there. He was also out of the lineup,

425
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: and that's why Steven Adams plays a pretty important role.

426
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: If Jaron Jackson Junior is your center for the entire game,

427
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: and I think you'd see a lot more of these

428
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: fouling out type games. But it's what you do in

429
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: the NBA. You have a guy that could be your

430
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: best center throughout the game, but you line him up

431
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: at the four and then later on, Yeah, playing fifteen

432
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: minutes at the center spot, twenty minutes at the center spot.

433
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: This guy was awesome. Nineteen eight five blocks, three steals

434
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: his overall line. He only plays twenty six minutes per game,

435
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: which is wild. But people are scared of him when

436
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: they're coming Jack Lane. They literally are and are. People

437
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: don't like the Grizzlies, and that's why they're so fun.

438
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: They're a confident bunch. They pissed people off. Desmond Bain

439
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: got into it with Jordan Clarkson.

440
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 3: Lake Marson ready to square up again.

441
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: It was great see Clarkson. Clarson gets the rep for

442
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: being the fighter because he threw up the fists, but it's.

443
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: Why he doesn't. Yeah, but an actually fight anybody.

444
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to fight the fists. Yeah, but him

445
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: and Bain were getting into it going down the floor.

446
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: Bain goes in to the lane on an offensive possession,

447
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: sprints out to go get the ball at the three

448
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 2: point line, grabs it, drives into the lane and then

449
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: on a pass and not even a shot.

450
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

451
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: Jordan Clarkson, huge swipe. Yeah, big part of his head

452
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: gets a big part of his head. Desmond Babe walking

453
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: starts walking towards him. I think he kind of wants

454
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: to put the fists up with clarks Clarkson gets all

455
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: all the hype because he throws and.

456
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior came running in to stand up for his guy.

457
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: I guess, so fistic cups go up for Clarkson's like

458
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: he really wanted to go. After he got ejected from

459
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: the game, still kind of wanted to go. It was

460
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: the Hey, I'll meet you out back in the in

461
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: the hallways type thing. But the Grizzlies are confident and

462
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: they do get under people's skins, and that's why they

463
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: will be fun in the in the playoffs. I know,

464
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: people say, oh, they haven't won anything, they shouldn't be talking.

465
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: This is who they are. They're so confident. They love

466
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: each other and that's why they're fun. And again, kind

467
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: of surprising to me that they're tied for first in

468
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: the West. They have, they have battled a lot of injuries. Again,

469
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: they're fifty six team last year.

470
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: So what's not surprising though, is when John Moran's out

471
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: of the lineup, they could still win games, because that

472
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: was the case last year. Yeah, this was like a

473
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: perfect example of having the best backup point guard in

474
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: the league. Tyas Jones. You slot him in, he plays

475
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: thirty minutes plus, you know, takes care of the ball,

476
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 3: scores twenty plus in this game, hit a couple three.

477
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just he is so solid as a

478
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: backup point guard. I keep saying it time and time

479
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: and time again here on the show, but man, he's good.

480
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you shocked me there with them being

481
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: right at the top there.

482
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was surprising. Yeah, but they've been there.

483
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: Seventeen and eight since Jaron Jackson Junior came back, and

484
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 4: the team as a whole is shooting thirty three percent

485
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: from three point land. That's crazy. That's the nineties right there.

486
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 4: They played defense. He's very Kevin garnettish out there, the

487
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 4: way he approaches the game and the way he's able

488
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: to move alongside with perimeter players, and then they just

489
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 4: get to the line time and time again. I think

490
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: Jaron Jackson Junior should be an All Star, and I

491
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 4: think by the time we get to middle of February,

492
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: he'll have played enough games that it won't be weird

493
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: if he makes the All Star team.

494
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 2: Since fa for sure. If they're up there, for sure.

495
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: All right, Trey, let's do it, baby, We made it

496
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 3: the thumbnail.

497
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: About time.

498
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: Your winner of the weekend, your second one here.

499
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: Hottest team in the league, Chicago Bulls. A couple more

500
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 4: wins for the Bulls this weekend. They beat the Sixers

501
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: on Friday. Unfortunately, no Joel Embiid, so he remains undefeated

502
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: in his career against Chicago. Guaranteed, the Bulls would have

503
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 4: still beat the Sixers if Embiid played because they were

504
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 4: on fire. Then they beat the Jazz on Saturday. Chicago

505
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 4: did seven and three in their last ten. A couple

506
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 4: of calls go the right way could easily be nine

507
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 4: and one in their last ten. The biggest reason for

508
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 4: the turnaround, no doubt, is Zach Levine, who has been

509
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: great for basically since December first, but over the weekend

510
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: against the Sixers, he went for forty one points, six assists,

511
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 4: eleven for thirteen from three, money, all night lime, all

512
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: night long. The Jazz Levine won for thirty six points,

513
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: seven rebounds, five of ten from three. In his last

514
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: ten games, Levin is going for twenty eight points per game,

515
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 4: four rebounds, four assists, shooting fifty three from the field

516
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: and fifty one from three. His knee looks more sturdy,

517
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 4: he looks more explosive. He's finishing over guys rather than

518
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: a round guys inside, but he's also playing a lot smarter.

519
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: The win against the Sixers one of the best games

520
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 4: of his career. He started eight for eight from three

521
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 4: in that one, but I was most impressed in the

522
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. He was passing, getting rid of the ball early,

523
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 4: running around, and then getting a catch and shoot three pointer.

524
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 4: Off of it. You didn't see that kind of movement,

525
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: the ball moves and Lavigne moves from Zach at all

526
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: early in this season, but multiple times when he would

527
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: pass it, get it back and hit a three. There's

528
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 4: still rumblings about his fourth quarter role, but that was

529
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: a perfect game for Zach Lavine. On Friday, Booch also

530
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: playing really well. Bears got the number one pick in

531
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 4: the NFL draft. The Packers missed the playoffs. I saw

532
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 4: even the Blackhawks went to to zero. They're one of

533
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 4: the worst teams in the league. So the wins are

534
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 4: actually really cups.

535
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 3: I thought, Yeah, I guess that was a while ago.

536
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a while ago one Sea.

537
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: I mean, two wins is nice. Actually I could have

538
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 4: left it at that, but I think they like ten

539
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 4: wins all year. And this weekend nonetheless a great weekend

540
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 4: for Chicago. Bulls are back.

541
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: Any thoughts on Levine and the Bulls stringing together some winter.

542
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: That's three in a row, having beat the Nets, the Sixers,

543
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: and the Jazz. Those are all three good teams.

544
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: I like watching Zach Levine again, He's one of the

545
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: funnest players to watch when he's going. Was it the

546
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: call out was it the call out in the locker

547
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: room that flipped the switch for him, because it seemed

548
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: like at midway through that Wolves game a few weeks back,

549
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: late December, boom just changed. It almost seemed like, I.

550
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: Mean, they had a team meeting at halftime, gave up

551
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: a ton of points after halftime. Still, they gave up

552
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty in that game.

553
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: That was a bad one.

554
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 4: But things have completely changed since then. So maybe it's

555
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 4: a maybe it's the conversations, and maybe it's just his

556
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 4: knee is getting better now that he's played twenty something

557
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 4: games and people were ready to write off the entire

558
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 4: contract three games end of the season. Yeah, I saw

559
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 4: a website put up that the Bulls were the most

560
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 4: depressing team in the NBA. They're over five hundred since then.

561
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 4: Pump the brakes, pump them they go.

562
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 3: Where are they now in the standings? Night ninth? All right,

563
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: team meeting at halftime, that's just smart because you don't

564
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: even have to do it, Like every team has a

565
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 3: team meeting exactly. I mean, yeah, it's halftime orange slices.

566
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: Maybe they didn't give out orange license difference? Smart smart?

567
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 3: All right, So the Bulls not a surprise winter the Weekend.

568
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: Are they back? Treykerby says, Yes they are. They're back

569
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 3: in the play and that's for sure. I'd like to

570
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: give one more Winner of the Weekend to the twenty

571
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: twenty three dunk contests. It's coming together and I think

572
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: it's a decent start. Having now learned from Sham's our

573
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: guy at the Athletic that Trailblazer's rookie Shade and Sharp

574
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: and Rockets forward kJ Martin have agreed to participate in

575
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: the dunk contest in Salt Lake City in over all

576
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 3: Star Weekend here coming up in a couple of weeks.

577
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: Not bad, I mean Sharp, I told you guys I

578
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: think of in the preseas he's been picked to win

579
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: it all. That guy has hot air balloon bounts. He

580
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 3: just keeps sort of rising. When you think of human

581
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 3: should start coming back to the earth, he just keeps going.

582
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: And then, according to Kelly Echo of The Athletic, he

583
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: said kJ Martin was disappointed about not participating in last

584
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 3: year slam Dunk contests and that it was like the

585
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: worst kept secret in the Rockets locker room. So I

586
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: guess he really wanted to go at it and gets

587
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 3: in this year. And if you haven't seen him dunk,

588
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: we've talked about him before. He's like he might lead

589
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 3: the league and highlights per minute when he's out there.

590
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 3: He had three dunks alone in the Rockets loss on Sunday.

591
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: But I would like to see him. I know it's

592
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 3: like no one cares anymore, but I'd love to see

593
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: him give it a go the old free throw line dunk.

594
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 3: I think he could do it so easily. He like

595
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: just has that weird jumping ability. Obviously can get super

596
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: super high, but he can he just can jump from

597
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 3: very far away and glide. So if he throws that

598
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: down his left handed there in a dunk contest, I

599
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: would be excited. But not a bad start here, Not

600
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 3: a bad start. Sharp the rookie from the Blazers and

601
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: then a guy that wants to go in it.

602
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 4: I love that.

603
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: You love to see that. So two more still to

604
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: come maybe unless they're expanding this thing. I highly doubt it.

605
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: We've had four for a long time.

606
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: For a while. Yeah yeah.

607
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: John Moran took to Twitter too, and he said he

608
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: watched Jericho Sims in it as.

609
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 4: Well, hops to which everybody said, what about you even NBA.

610
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: Players, Yeah, yeah, Jericho Sims. Yeah.

611
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: Any thoughts on Sharp and kJ Martin at least getting

612
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: it started here for our field of four excited?

613
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a little hesitant about it. I don't

614
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: want to get too excited because you could be let down.

615
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what they do in the regular season, dude,

616
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: they bring it on that night. These guys have the

617
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: confidence and that's what primarily it's about. But we saw

618
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: what kJ Martin's teammate did to us last year, Jalen Green,

619
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: what he did to us, stabbed us in the heart.

620
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: He thought he had it. I thought he had it,

621
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: and I'm sure he had a great plan just and

622
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: just wasn't executed. So we'll see, we'll see. Not ready

623
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: to get ridiculous.

624
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: kJ Martins.

625
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 3: Did Kenyon he went in a dunk?

626
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

627
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he did?

628
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: I think so. I think maybe envisioned Josh Smith jumping

629
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: over Kenyon. It's right, So that's why I thought he

630
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: was in a dunk contest. But maybe I'm wrong.

631
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: I thought he was.

632
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: He sat in a chair once, that's for sure.

633
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: He sat in a chair.

634
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: Did he go in one?

635
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: No? I don't think so.

636
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: Oh Wow, that is that surprises me. kJ Martineau had

637
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: uh he had a dunk leg his dad last night.

638
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: I don't know he saw the one. He threw down

639
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: two handed and he rattled the rim like pops.

640
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 4: He slapped the backboard.

641
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: He didn't, he didn't do that on the on the

642
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: dismount Buddy gave it a nice a couple, a couple

643
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: of good rocks there on the rim. So yeah, I'm

644
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: excited for these two guys being in and we'll see

645
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: if we Yeah, let's get John ran in.

646
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: It comes man, Oh, it ain't happening. Jericho Sims too big.

647
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: I think I don't know, he's six ten huge. I

648
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: mean he gets done.

649
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: But you don't like you don't like the big guys.

650
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: Wow, they had Obi topping last year. We're going to

651
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: bring back all the same same teams. We got two

652
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 2: same rocket hold on a.

653
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: Guy was Simon's in a lastman? Was that two years ago?

654
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: Simon's won it two years ago?

655
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 3: Two years ago?

656
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah last year. Jalen Green, Obi top

657
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: and Cole Anthony Anthony Nice who is the fourth?

658
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: Want Ascano anders?

659
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: Oh?

660
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: I sure get minga in here. My tips are first

661
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: and foremost, make your dunks good good tips. Do a

662
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: dunk that you know you're gonna make it second time

663
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 4: at worst. Anything else that's too risky, don't even try

664
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: at number two, no props, props. Okay, but it was

665
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: bad last year. Necklace bad last year. Just go out

666
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: there and dunk it and make it. Yeah, that's all

667
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: we ask.

668
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: All right, what about jumping over people?

669
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: Nope?

670
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a prop to you. I guess that's a

671
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: prop to me. I mean, we've seen every form of

672
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: jumping over people. And of course my third tip, which

673
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: is a tip every single year, do a seven twenty.

674
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 4: What are we waiting for?

675
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: What are we waiting for?

676
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: Somebody can do it. We gotta find that person and

677
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: put him in the dunk.

678
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: If you can do a seven to twenty year in

679
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: the dunk contest, simple as that. All right, let's hear

680
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: from you guys in the stream team. Are you excited

681
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: at all about Sharp and kJ Martin committing to the

682
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: dunk contest? Who else you want to see in it?

683
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: Let us know they're in the stream team right now.

684
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna take our first break when we come back.

685
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: Losers of the NBA Weekend all right, we've done winners

686
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: of the NBA weekend. Let's do losers. I feel like

687
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: we have a very fun batcher though to tackle on

688
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 3: today's show, task get its started.

689
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: I'll start with the non fun ones, the Suns and Clippers.

690
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: It's the definition of losers. They've got two very long

691
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: losing streaks. Both have lost six in a row. We'll

692
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: start with the Suns. They were the number one seed

693
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: for twenty one days this season. It seems like a

694
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: long time ago. Now they're in danger of dropping out

695
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: of the play in picture. They're below five hundred for

696
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: the first time this year. They lost to the Heat

697
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: and the Calves this weekend. They're just so relyant on

698
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: Devin Booker, who is out with an injury.

699
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 3: MVP Devin Booker.

700
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it started their six game slide. They were getting

701
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: some production off the bench when he went out, Remember

702
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: Shamitt stepped in. That was their first loss. But since

703
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: they got one Dwayne Washington performance off the bench, but

704
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: they're just not getting enough. You look on the other

705
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: side of the floor. In that Heat game on Friday,

706
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: Victor Oladipo looked real good off the bench, scoring twenty

707
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: six points for them. It's not enough points. They're grinding,

708
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: they're fighting, but the Suns just don't have Then Sunday

709
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: versus the Calves, this one without Chris Paul as well

710
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: as Booker, they only scored nineteen in the fourth quarter

711
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: against the Calves, who pulled away. It was a close

712
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: one going into the fourth. It's just too tight. They

713
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: haven't scored one hundred points in four straight games yeow.

714
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 3: And only scored one hundred and four against the Raptors

715
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: and one hundred and two against the Wizards, so not

716
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: much more over that over last six here they can

717
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: barely score.

718
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Raptors, if you're thinking about ogn Andobi

719
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: as your number one option, just look at mckal bridges

720
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: of the Phoenix Suns. It's like that. I don't know.

721
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm trying to bring the price down for the

722
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: rap No. I shouldn't be doing that. I should be

723
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: saying that he is worth forty draft picks. But I

724
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 2: don't know why I'm bringing ogn Andobi into this. But hey,

725
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: it's thirty one days from the trade deadline. I'm just excited. Anyways.

726
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: The second team, the Clippers also losing. They lost to

727
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: the Wolves and the Hawks this weekend. They're back to

728
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: five hundred aftery're losing six straight the Wolves on Friday,

729
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 2: second night of a back to back. They're in Denver.

730
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: That blowout on TNT on Thursday night. Yuck. They fly

731
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: into Minnesota, no Kawhi, no Paul George, yuck, no chance.

732
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert almost went end to end in that game.

733
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: See that clip where he was so upset with himself

734
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: that he missed on an and one opportunity going to end,

735
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: put his head into the stanchion. They had no hope

736
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: in that game, so they lose that one Sunday back

737
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: home against the Hawks, much better effort. It was a

738
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 2: better loss. Let's call it that they fought back from

739
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: seventeen down. They led in the fourth, but it was

740
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: ugly to close the game. Missing shots turned it over.

741
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: Kawhi did have twenty nine. It's sort of a moral victory.

742
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: But the Clippers definitely have to get their stuff together

743
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: here as we entered the second half of the season.

744
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: Qui has got to play. They gotta get a flow go.

745
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: That's undoubtedly their problem. They have no flow. Tiny note

746
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: from this one. Nate McMillan, Hawks head coach seven hundred

747
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: and fiftieth head win or win as a head coach.

748
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: Big number. It's like a fourth active coach to do it.

749
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: I think that's good.

750
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like not a lot of them. It must

751
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: be Pop Spolstring Keruld imagine maybe Churts Cardile. Yeah, yeah,

752
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: Kirk can't have that many. You're right, I don't know,

753
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: Pop Spools and somebody else.

754
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: Carlos, Yeah, Carlisle has got to be carl anyway, so

755
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 2: they lose their entrey. I know you wanted to talk

756
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: about zoom. Yeah, we got to see this clip on

757
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: the Clippers eat.

758
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 4: Beats a zoo box getting trapped in a dance circle.

759
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: You know, it's happened to all of us just hanging

760
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 4: out and suddenly, oh, fifty to twenty cheerleaders are doing

761
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 4: an entire routine where you're just trying to get a

762
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 4: jump ball. But I don't know, I guess why is

763
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 4: he out there so long?

764
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: Is he out there so early?

765
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 4: You can see all of the Timberwolves still get there

766
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 4: high fives down at the bottom. I guess zoobots are

767
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 4: just fired up to get going. I mean, he always

768
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 4: brings it in the first quarter, but changes are afoot

769
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 4: with the Clippers right now, Terrence Man getting a couple

770
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 4: of starts over the weekend, Reggie Jackson going to the bench.

771
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 4: We will see if that actually changes thing things up

772
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 4: for the Clippers, because it didn't. They blew a massive

773
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: lead against the Hawks there to lose that one, so

774
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 4: bad stuff for LA. It's almost like you got to

775
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 4: have your guys playing consistently to build consistence.

776
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: It helps.

777
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: I think it was like a week ago we were

778
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: here on the podcast, like trying to like figure out

779
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: title contenders, legitimate title contenders or at least teams that

780
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 3: could sort of like go through a conference finals and

781
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: like be one away from making the finals. Are the

782
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: Clippers and Sons like off your board if they were

783
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: even there last week? I mean that's sort of where

784
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: I'm at with both of these teams. Like they're good,

785
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: they're fine teams when they're completely healthy. I mean, Booker's

786
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: got to play for the Suns. Obviously you want your

787
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 3: two guys with the Clippers, But like, I'm not convinced

788
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: that they can go through all these other good teams

789
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: to make a conference finals or a finals.

790
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: I don't think it's too late. We saw what the

791
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 2: Celtics did last year. It was around now where they

792
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: turned it around midway through the season. It's just the

793
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: West is still pretty open.

794
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,439
Speaker 3: Okay, it's still okay.

795
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: I'm not con advanced, right, I wouldn't pick either of them.

796
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: But if Devin Booker is back, everything falls into place

797
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: for the Suns. He's got to be monstrous though, He's

798
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: got to be a their go to guy. And then

799
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: it stopped. You're right, I'm multiple series on the road. Well,

800
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: that's that's all cast. But they could still jump up

801
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: in the standings. It is still pretty tight.

802
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: Oh it's tight, tight, all right, Trey, you got for

803
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 3: another loser of the weekend.

804
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 4: I've gotten an inadimate object as a loser of the weekend.

805
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: All right, now the fun begins.

806
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 4: The Nuggets rim.

807
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: What a loser the loser of the weekend.

808
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 4: The Nuggets are honestly incredible on the court, especially in Denver.

809
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 4: They mopped the Calves on Friday to move to sixteen

810
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 4: and three at home. But maybe the reason they're sixteen

811
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 4: and three at home is because they got a crooked

812
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: rim All the time. This happened again. We had a

813
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 4: what forty five minute delay early last week? This was

814
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 4: a much quicker one, only ten minutes. This Nuggets rim problem.

815
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: The Nuggets apparently thought it was fine, but the Calves

816
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: thought it was tilted, and the Calves went five for

817
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: ten from the free throw line. Third quarter.

818
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

819
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 4: Some really funny vibes kind of stuff happening around this.

820
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 4: Nikola Yokich was running sprints. Michael Malone was pissed that

821
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 4: this was happening again again, probably because his team was

822
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 4: rolling at this point. He's like, uh, this will give

823
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 4: him a chance to get back in the game. It

824
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 4: didn't really, but uh. Probably the best scene from this

825
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 4: is Jamal Murray just sitting in the stands taking selfies

826
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: with Nuggets fans. I think it was Christian Brown was

827
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: playing like paper rock scissors during the first delay. Not

828
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: as much time to get a game in this time around,

829
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 4: but that made an awesome picture. I bet that got

830
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 4: at least triple digit likes on Instagram. Tense right home

831
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 4: wins for the Nuggets because their opponents have to shoot

832
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: on crooked rims.

833
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: Oh wow.

834
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: They just refused to bring in an entirely new stanchion

835
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: a net, like, no, we can fix it.

836
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you never want to throw out something that you

837
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 4: spent so much money on, Right, You're like, I can

838
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: fix it. I can make it better. Sometimes it's just

839
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 4: time take it down to the curb.

840
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 3: But I like that the guys that work on fixing

841
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: the rim they did were a lot. I felt like

842
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: they had their shit together this time. The second go

843
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: around the definitely they were just like, we've done this before,

844
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: we know the protocol, we know the problem. Let's get

845
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 3: to it.

846
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: So guys wearing the same hat look like his rim hat.

847
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rim fixing hat, all right. I got a

848
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 3: couple losers of the weekend. The first is a team.

849
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: We gotta talk about the Blazers here. This is going

850
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 3: under the radar. I think they're struggling. Two more road

851
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: losses for Portland over the weekend. On Friday night, they

852
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 3: failed to crack one hundred points. In Indiana they lost

853
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: one O eight ninety nine. And then on Sunday afternoon,

854
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: the Blazers they had a season worse twenty four turnovers

855
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: leading to twenty nine points for the Raptors. Who can

856
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: you know, use all of those points off turnovers that

857
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: they can get because we know they're not the greatest

858
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 3: half court offensive team. Anyway, Blazers lost by twelve. The

859
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: Raptors actually had a lot of their players playing well

860
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 3: the same time, actually got some bench contributions, which was shocking.

861
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: Has the Blazers looked like the Raptors. I think they

862
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: got one basket from their bench. One made one goal. Yeah, brutal.

863
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: So Portland's road losing streak has reached seven games and

864
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 3: they've slipped all the way down to tenth in the

865
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 3: Western Conference. They're nineteen and twenty and the Lakers are

866
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: half a game back. So you know, again, they started

867
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 3: really strong. I was getting on here going. I told

868
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: you not to underestimate the Blazers. I told you I

869
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: knew something. And then boy man, this is this is bad.

870
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: But honestly, they can't take care of the ball a

871
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: lot of these losses. For their past five games, they've

872
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: lost that turnover battle. And it's their averaging sixteen turnovers

873
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 3: per game. That's fifth worse than the league. I mean

874
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 3: only the Rockets, the Spurs and then the Warriors, who

875
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: are always pretty sloppy with the ball, and the Wolves

876
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: are worse at taking care of the basketball in terms

877
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: of turnovers per game. They got to clean that up.

878
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: You know, they got they got back into that game

879
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: against the Raptors. It was Damian Lillard in the fourth

880
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 3: there coming through. But eighteen and twenty they can't win

881
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 3: on the road. No, I guess the one good thing

882
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: is they go home. They play their next ten of

883
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 3: eleven at home. But Josh Hart was like, doesn't matter

884
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 3: where we're playing, you still have to take care of

885
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: the basketball. Just because we're gonna be in Portland doesn't

886
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: mean it's like an automatic win. They are nine to

887
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: six there, so they obviously have a better record than

888
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 3: their road record. But yeah, just I was not happy

889
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 3: about this team right now. Portland's letting me down. Everybody's

890
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 3: let me down. The Raptors let me down, blazer As

891
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 3: letting me down. It's brutal.

892
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 4: Six through eleven in their Western Conference all have twenty

893
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 4: or twenty one losses. Talk about a glut right there.

894
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: I know that.

895
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 4: You know, Ballcock podcast calls them the Great Midwest because

896
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 4: every team is okay, but not that good. But it's

897
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 4: really weird to look at the home and away splits

898
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 4: for the entirety of the Western Conference. Denver and Memphis

899
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 4: are both ten and ten on the road. They're the

900
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 4: only teams with five hundred records on the road. Everybody

901
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: else is under five hundred, So you want to be

902
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: top four I think in the Western Conference this year?

903
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

904
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: Was it worldwide wob tweeting And I was like, no, way,

905
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 3: that's true. That only five teams in the West are

906
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: above five hundred. That is nuts. It's like everybody else

907
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: is five hundred or under.

908
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 4: Five teams Clippers and Warriors are at five hundred right now,

909
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 4: but everybody.

910
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 3: Else underd Yeah god, okay. I'd like to give also

911
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: a loser of the weekend to the Pacers, but not

912
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 3: for their play, not for their play on the floor.

913
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 3: In fact, they picked up two solid wins over the weekend,

914
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: could have gave them winners of the weekend. They beat

915
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 3: at the Blazers, as I said, they took care of

916
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 3: the Hornets, Miles Turner playing like a young Germaine O'Neil Rick.

917
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: Carlisle said that huge block on plumb Dog at the end,

918
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 3: that was massive. He was fired up. He had a

919
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: great game. Turner.

920
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: He must have watched our recent YouTube short. Carlisle, Yeah,

921
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 2: they on the brain.

922
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 3: But no, the Pacers get loser the weekend because of

923
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: their cheap ass game. Ops. I don't know if you

924
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: guys saw this. They did the classic contest where someone

925
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: comes out has to try and hit a free throw,

926
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: a three pointer, and a half court shot. You get

927
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 3: sixty seconds on the clock. Not easy to do. I mean,

928
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: you'd like to think most people are can hit the

929
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 3: free throw, but an NBA three pointer, it ain't deep,

930
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: it ain't close. This guy, Nathaniel had a good looking shot, though,

931
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: nice looking three point shot. He missed a couple, missed

932
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: a couple, then he got it on his fourth attempt.

933
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 3: Goes back to half bang knocks in the half court shot.

934
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 3: One attempt, super clean, not lucky at all. So you're thinking,

935
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: all right, but this guy just win five K ten K?

936
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 3: I think we saw a thunderfan win twenty K the

937
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 3: other night for a half court shot. This guy hit

938
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: three shots. The Hoosier Lottery gave him five hundred dollars

939
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: and a prize pack. Unless the prize pack was ten k.

940
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 3: This was a bad, bad look here from the pacers,

941
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: and I guess the Hoosier Lottery five hundred dollars. That's embarrassing,

942
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 3: No word, that's that's not even one shot from half

943
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 3: court like we've talked before, made a lot of shots.

944
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: He made a lot of shots in sixty seconds.

945
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 2: Like, well done.

946
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: It should be what did we said? I thought we

947
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: said five k minimum him for a half court shot.

948
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: Minimum should be more.

949
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: It's a lottery.

950
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 3: Five hundred dollars.

951
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 4: It's a lot exactly.

952
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: It's a lottery.

953
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 4: They got the money, he got the money.

954
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, so gotta give I guess the Hoosier Lottery really

955
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 3: as the loser of the weekend. But I get the

956
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: pacer should match it or give him ten times more.

957
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. There's something's going on here. That's a bad,

958
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: bad look. Five hundred bucks. Oh, I always thought the worst.

959
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes in the past people have made

960
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: a half court shot and won a TV.

961
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is almost.

962
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: Worse, Like, yeah, I can't buy a TV.

963
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have to kick in your own money.

964
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 4: If you want a sixty five incher, it should be

965
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 4: able to pay at least one month rent. After making

966
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 4: a half court shot five hundred dollars.

967
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 3: People were pointing out, like this guy, he didn't even

968
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 3: like leave the arena. I mean if he went by himself, maybe,

969
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 3: but if he brought a family or went with some buds.

970
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's adding up after a couple of beers,

971
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: maybe a dog. I mean, he's spending five hundred dollars

972
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: close to it. I don't whar he's sat, but if

973
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: he's lower ball, he's getting close to it. If he's

974
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 3: got anyone else with him, a deep Buddies family. He

975
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: didn't even break even, and he had a half court

976
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 3: shot and a three pointer and a free throw.

977
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,240
Speaker 2: I think he made some money. Why, Yeah, he's in Indiana.

978
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: You know, we said we we we threw we threw

979
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 2: out the the average prices of tickets. Yeah, a little

980
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: while ago, and it was like one hundred thirty hundred

981
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: and forty for NBA nationwide, which we said, okay, one

982
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 2: hundred thirty bucks times for it's five hundred bucks. You're

983
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: taking a family. Yeah, I think it's way lower, That's

984
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: all I'm saying.

985
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: Well, I know the Pacers rank probably near the bottom

986
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: when he comes to attendance records, but still still parking

987
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:45,840

00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: was talking about, and they got it done. They covered,

1016
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,440

1021
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 2: New York City. Boy, it's going to play the nixt

1022
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 2: Remember when he was a young lad before he got drafted,

1023
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: And the story is that him and his brother went

1024
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 2: to UH New York for the draft and they jumped

1025
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: up and down on beds in the hotel because they

1026
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: were so excited. Oh he's gonna be jumping up and

1027
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 2: down after this performance. I think he's gonna take care

1028
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: of the New York Knicks. So does Trade. They've got

1029
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: a they're two and a half point favorite. It's a

1030
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 2: weird city man, too small.

1031
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I took the Knicks. I was like,

1032
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: is he honest?

1033
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 4: Playing?

1034
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: Like?

1035
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: Who's not playing for? But I just thought this was

1036
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: a weird line.

1037
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,919
Speaker 2: But Nicks are bad, extremely solid these days. They're playing well,

1038
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: they won four in a row.

1039
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: But you think we see something special?

1040
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1041
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot putting on Giannis's shoulders. That's

1042
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: what the Bucks are doing these days. But he can

1043
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: he can do it. And against Mitch. Let's see what

1044
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: Mitch can do in the middle.

1045
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: So I got a couple points to play with as

1046
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 3: the Knicks out of the dogs. Right, you guys need

1047
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 3: the walking wind by three or more. Good luck to everybody. Okay,

1048
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:09,399

1054
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 2: Gelie because I went down to watch the College Park Skyhawks.

00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: Hey the Hawks, the Hawks affiliate. Yeah, I'm pointing at

1056
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 2: the camera. Never know what to do there. I was

1057
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 2: asked to take a photo. Of course, we're gonna take

1058
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 2: a photo.

1059
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, hey, I got my other finger ready to

1060
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: point too.

1061
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 2: I definitely in one of the takes your right skeets.

1062
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: I think I pointed both. I think I did a

1063
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 2: double point. Oh thanks, that's nice of you. Uh yeah.

1064
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 2: So the Skyhawks took on the Austin Spurs. I went

1065
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: with the fan sitting court side. First, we walked into

1066
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: the building. Saxophonist playing the national anthem, loved every note.

1067
00:47:59,440 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 3: Wow.

1068
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 2: I was pretty happy with that. We take our seats courtside.

1069
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: The girls are excited. Referees spot them give us the

1070
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: ball pre game to handle. I was way more excited

1071
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,479
Speaker 2: than they were. I gotta be honest, but I'm looking

1072
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: at the ball very excited. They didn't seem care all

1073
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: that much. But anyway, that was fun. I was in

1074
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 2: dad mode most of the game. When a player looked

1075
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: like they were flying out of bounds, I jumped up,

1076
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: jumped up, was ready to absorb that blow. I got

1077
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 2: no problem, Yeah, no problem taking a charge. I probably

1078
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: would have flown right into my daughter. We both yeah, yeah,

1079
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 2: so many bodies all over the floor. We had a

1080
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: great moment actually though. Three point shooter was fouled right

1081
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: in front of us. Denzel Mahoney wearing goggles for the

1082
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: Austin Spurs and he was fouled and one so he

1083
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 2: got a little bit closer to us as he was fouled,

1084
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: took a step towards us. Then a teammate of his

1085
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 2: came over. Chest bump got even a little close to us.

1086
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 2: One more chest bump got really close I had put

1087
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 2: put my hand up, touched that sweaty back, had no

1088
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: problem touching that sweaty backs. Still haven't washed his hand. Anyways,

1089
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 2: We're all good. Great story. Great story. Also, there was

1090
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: a baseline. There was a drink on a seat just

1091
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: sitting there. Ball goes out, hits the drink perfectly. It

1092
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: splashes up and hits Ryan Gomes, former NBA player. Ryan

1093
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: He's wearing only a mint sweater and he got splashed.

1094
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: There's literally liquids on him. It was pretty funny anyway,

1095
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: funny for us anyway, wins on him, liquids on him, Ryan.

1096
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 3: Gomes, who'd he played for it? And I played the

1097
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 3: Celtics and Wolves and a Clipper.

1098
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: He could have been a Clipper, no doubt, those three

1099
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 2: teams for sure. He was traded. I looked it up.

1100
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 2: He was traded as part of.

1101
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: And then he played five games for OKAC. Otherwise we

1102
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 3: nailed it.

1103
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: A little work abroad, Ryan Gomes, don't call me Ryan Gomes.

1104
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,479
Speaker 2: H So as far as the game goes, Jared Culver

1105
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: was out there and number six pick way back when

1106
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 2: Langston Galloway was the yeah third stringer for the Suns

1107
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 2: when they went to the finals played forever Chris Silva.

1108
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 2: Who can He blocked a shot with two hands. He's

1109
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: got a rebound a little harder, but he blocked a

1110
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: shot with two hands. Lake Allison out there, Purvis Allison's son.

1111
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: I like throwing the sons out there. It's fun.

1112
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that was he nervous?

1113
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: No, sir, what about my guy Brandon Williams not playing? Ah,

1114
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: unfortunate it was. It was a close game. But despite

1115
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: not having Brandon Williams, who is their primary ball hand, Yeah,

1116
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: he kills the ball.

1117
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 3: I think he'll get another chance with the league.

1118
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was there last year. Still, young guy was

1119
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 2: with the Blazers last year and Rmney Brooks was there. Yeah,

1120
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: took us into half court with a banked home three.

1121
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: It was very nice anyway, halftime Yeah, did I say

1122
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: half court?

1123
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1124
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 2: That's yeah.

1125
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: You know they gave him five hundred.

1126
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 2: Oh. We had a great halftime show. Actually, should pay

1127
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: these young cheerleaders. It was kids day, so they were

1128
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: like twelve and thirteen mins. I'm guessing how old they were.

1129
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 2: They were amazing. Actually, the music started at the wrong

1130
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: spot where it started too early, and some of the

1131
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 2: dancers started and one of the dancers because they didn't

1132
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: they didn't all start. One of the dancers said, no,

1133
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: don't start, don't start, so they restarted the music. I

1134
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: saw the communication going on in the building. Are we gonna,

1135
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: like the technicians, are we going to start this music again?

1136
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it? Started it, It killed it nice.

1137
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: I don't know where what school they're from, but it's phenomenal. Anyway,

1138
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: weach have gone and enjoyed a G League game. Yeah,

1139
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 2: it's been really, really fun. And I was talking to

1140
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: Ben Hunt MN about Scoot Henderson, who's coming with the

1141
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: G League Ignite for two games. And we were talking,

1142
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 2: but there was that report out there that Scoot Henderson

1143
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: going to be the number two pick, had a ridiculous

1144
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 2: dunk this past week so athletic, that he was going

1145
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 2: to stop playing because he's definitely going to be the

1146
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: number two.

1147
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I shared that. I was like, oh, man, that

1148
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 3: sucks because you wanted to go see him here. I

1149
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 3: guess it's not true. A weird report.

1150
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: I don't know where that report was from. Speculation, speculation,

1151
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: because he is going to be the number two pick,

1152
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 2: there's no doubt, but he's body played yesterday for the

1153
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 2: G League gig night. He's still playing, So we got
