1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: The Nets big three finally suits up together, the media

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: can't rag on Trey Young for a day, and rookie

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: Cole Anthony gives us a game winner thriller. It was

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: a nine game night in the Association. Let's go, I'm

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: tas Melis and this is what you need to know

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: in the NBA for Thursday, January twenty First, let's fire

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: through these games. Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: play on the same basketball team, and we finally got

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: to see it on the floor and bore. Can these

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: guys score the game? One to one thirty seven? The

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: Cavs got the victory in the end in a double

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: ot wouldn't have been that surprising if they scored that

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: many points in regulation. The Nets are gonna score, and

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna allow a lot of points. That is going

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: to be their Achilles heel. Katie had thirty eight, Kyrie

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: had thirty seven. Harden played facilitator for most of the night.

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Back to the end of regulation here for a sec

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: before we talk about ot ty game. The Nets put

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: the ball in Kyrie Irving's hands to win it. I

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: think they kind of did that because he was going

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: up against his old team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harden had

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands most of the night, so

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: I think this was Steve Nash saying, go get him now.

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: It was a strange play because Kyrie Irving started driving,

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Colin Sexton reached in and Kyrie Irving gave Sexton a

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: pop with his elbow to the face. Kyrie was called

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: for the foul, but it was challenged. It was overturned.

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: A foul was given to Calin Sexton, and then there

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: was a jump ball, so so strange, what an odd

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: rule to call overturned. They go jump jump ball and

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: then the Nets have no time to win the game

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: either way, goes to overtime. Colin Sexon twenty straight points

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: in two overtimes, forty two for Colin Sexton. The Nets

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: are going to get the team's best shot on the

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: other side. You saw that happen and I think that's

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: why the Nets changed their starting lineup. Jeff Green went

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: in for Joe Harris because they want some defense in

38
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. It didn't work. That is going to

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: be the focus for Steve Nash and the Brooklyn Nets

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: in the future. But you're going to see some monstrous

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: games like this one forty five to one thirty seven.

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: I expect to see that in regulation to Oakland. We

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: go well, technically San Francisco, but tonight it was Oakland.

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors played their most complete game of

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the season against San Antonio. On both ends. Everybody was

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: solid in their twenty two point win. Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman,

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Steph Curry just had to look at the rim and

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: he had the spurs jumpin' and it was no coincidence.

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: They had their best showing while wearing their Oakland Tribute

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: throwback jerseys for the first time, showan love to Oakland

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: but also in solidarity for the first female Vice president,

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and her Oakland roots. A stable performance and

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: will have the unshakable guidance of a woman making decisions

54
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: for us. But it feels good speaking of dependable Timberwolves magic.

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: After watching rookie Cole Anthony hit at game winning off

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: balance three for Orlando and then listening to his postgame

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: interview where he was amped, you know, don'gah, haven't we

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: gotta win? Who was on a final game losing street

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: bro That joy felt good. I thought would win. It

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: felt like that joy felt good. Let's keep this going, Yeah,

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: let's keep this going. I just thought back to when

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: he made his announcement on ESPN. He was sitting beside

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: Greg Anthony, Pops and Krystal McCrary his mom. Everybody talks

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: about Greg Anthony, Sure, but what about his mother? What

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: about the stability of his mother. It was just beaming

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: through the television how much she was an influence on

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: his life. So stability is the word of the day here. Unfortunately,

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: not a lot of stability on the other side for

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: the Wolves this season. They sit in the west basement

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: at three and two. The Hawks pulled out a comeback

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: OT win against Detroit, and as I said in the open,

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the media would have come down on Trey Young if

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: they lost this game. He only had six in the

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: first half, but twenty one in the third quarter alone,

75
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight overall. I understand. Last year it was year

76
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: two for him. He made an All Star team, he

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: didn't win a lot. So the media questioning whether or

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: not Trey Young is a good player, Well, zoom out,

79
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: there's seven and seven and the team that's been on

80
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the floor beside him is pretty much the team from

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: last year because of the injuries to their offseason acquisitions

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Golinar, even down to Christan and

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Rajon Rondo. It's basically the same team plus Clint Capella,

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: who was a rock in this game twenty seven points

85
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: and twenty six rebounds. What. Speaking of stability, Jeremy Grant

86
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: had a career high thirty two for Detroit. Get this stat.

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: He has scored twenty or more in thirteen consecutive games.

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: That's not easy to do. This is a story. He

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: came over from Denver this offseason, where he was the

90
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: third scoring option, moving into the number one role with Detroit,

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: where people questioned, well, you're going to be treated a

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: lot differently as an number one option. But he shoots

93
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: ten more shots per game, and he is shooting the

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: exact same percentages across the board. He's having a phenomenal year.

95
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: I had Channing Fry telling me the other day, well,

96
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: somebody's got to score on Detroit. Yeah, but he's doing

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: it efficiently. He's doing it really impressively. Doesn't matter that

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: they're three and eleven. That's not his fault. It absolutely

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: is not his fault. It's the other players on the

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: roster that are causing that problem. A team that's not

101
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: having any problems right now, team that's a little boring

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: right now, the Los Angeles Clippers, and that's a freaking

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: good thing. They have their season high fifth straight victory,

104
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: beating Sacramento by nineteen. They made at least fifteen to

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: three pointers in five straight games. That's a franchise record,

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and they're tied for the best record in the NBA

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: with the Los Angeles Lakers. Let's get to the nationally

108
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: televised doubleheader on ESPN. Phoenix Suns, coming into this one,

109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: had lost too in a row. I was worried that

110
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: they weren't going to show the country that they are

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: for real. But they did that and DeAndre Ayton showed

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: everyone that he is for real. He's been overshadowed. The

113
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: number one pick in twenty eighteen has taken a backseat

114
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: to Luka Doncic and Trey Young stories he was also

115
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: suspended last year for twenty five games. This game, he

116
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: showed his skill set and why he was picked number one.

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Especially defensively, he was moving those tootsies for a seven footer.

118
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: It was great to watch some defensive highlights in this

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: game eight and twenty six points and seventeen rebounds. Suns win.

120
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Suns win. Another big man who has been showing out

121
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: this year, Joel Embiid, easily his best season. He had

122
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: forty two points in the first game of that doubleheader

123
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: against the Boston Celtics. Man, what a show. They had.

124
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: Absolutely nobody who can stop him on the Boston Celtics.

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: They yearn for the days that Aaron Baines was able

126
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: to body up Joe l Embiid, but nobody has been

127
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: able to body up Joel Embiid. This season an MVP

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: like season for Embiid. He's playing his best ball. It

129
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: is phenomenal to watch that big man work. Speaking of

130
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: big man defense, the Indiana Pacers missed Miles Turner against

131
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Christops Porzingis and the Dallas Mavericks. Christops shot eleven of

132
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: twelve from two point land. Hopefully Myles Turner will be

133
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: back soon. I don't think that hand injury is a

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: significant one. Toronto Raptors essentially got blown out by the

135
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Miami Heat in our last game here. The Heat just

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: led this one from start to finish, essentially, and the

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Heat now sit at six and seven. It's been a

138
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: strange up and down season for them. They have been

139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: decimated by coronavirus protocol and they're starting to look a

140
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: little bit like their defensive cells. They're running Chris Bouchet

141
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: off the line. Great little article by the Athletics Eric

142
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: Kareen on Chris Bouchet and how teams might be starting

143
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: to figure him out. I'm not going to accept that,

144
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Eric Kreen, not going to accept that at all. How

145
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: about we just throw him in the starting lineup se

146
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: how many open shots he gets with the Startersthough, I

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: understand what they're doing with Aaron Baines playing those starters

148
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: minutes back to Aaron bains so Chris Busche can come

149
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: off the bench and play as many minutes as he

150
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: wants and he won't get into foul trouble either way.

151
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: I love watching him work, and you'll love watching the

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: rest of the No Dunk's crew work on the full

153
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: length daily show here on Thursday. I will be back

154
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: with you tomorrow Friday to tell you the news as

155
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: fast as I possibly can. I'll see that
