Speaker 1: I got you, but we love to hear that anyway

30
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: from Devlin. I like how Jack says Weggie too?

31
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was nice one too. What do we have here,

32
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: Jacky voice?

33
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: We have here?

34
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: Jack?

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: So Ivy picks up Weggie forty six with the block

36
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: on Nora in a Pistons win before you conflicted, Raptors lose,

37
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: But hey, your pistons in the nut does bowl standings win?

38
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: Right? No? I want the Raptors to get that top

39
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: six pick. The more losses, the veteran we'll get into

40
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: that game, will we. I don't know how much?

41
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Not much. No, let's start with a banger from last

42
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: night with his team. Demarto Rozen's forty six points lead

43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: the Bulls past the Pacers in overtime. Hell of a

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: shot from Derozen at the end of regulation. The baseline

45
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: play fading was like two seconds Ago splashes it to

46
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: get the Bulls into overtime, and then he was pretty

47
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: damn good in that extra period.

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: He was great in overtime as well. I let out

49
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: a yes when he hit the jumper on the baseline.

50
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: A great play and a great game. I gave it

51
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: five stars on boxscore dot com. Okay, nine ties, nineteen

52
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: lead changes in the fourth quarter, five ties and ten

53
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: lead changes, big shots on both sides. I thought it

54
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: was going to be over when Miles Turner hit back

55
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: to back three his first one tied the game up.

56
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 3: Next possession hit another one to put him up three

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: with fifty five seconds left the game. Bridgefield's house was

58
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: going crazy. It was so loud in there. But on

59
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: the other end, the Bulls got some nice plays, you know,

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: smart move by the Pacers to foul up three. DeRozan

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: goes to the line, knocks down the first one, then

62
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: a clutch miss. I think it was his first miss

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: free throw of the game at that point. Obi Toppin

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: tips it way out and then a good call by

65
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Billy Donovan. He ran a play where Io Dessummu screens

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: Pascal Siakam, who was guarding Demarto Rosen. That left TJ

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: McConnell to switch on De Rosen. McConnell was right there,

68
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: but he doesn't have the size to contest De Rozan,

69
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: who just shoots jumpers over people. That's kind of his game.

70
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: Another clutch game for the Balls. They're thirty eighth of

71
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: the season, twenty third clutch win of the season. That's

72
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: tied for first with Denver. They are playing, ready right now,

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: what a game.

74
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: And this was very entertaining, some huge shots, some huge

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: defensive plays, you know that, the chase down block and

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: then he flips on his back and lands on Kobe White.

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's okay. Obviously had to leave the game. But

78
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: some just entertaining basketball in this one.

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game story could have been Pascal Siakam's block there,

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: the Chase down block. It wasn't quite an Anthony Edwards

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: Chase down block where he hit his head on the rim,

82
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: but it was a Chase down block with ten seconds

83
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: left where they were up one and they go hit

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: two free throws. Then the eternal question DF foul to

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: send the guy to the line shoot two free throws

86
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: instead of letting him shoot the three, So they fouled

87
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: to Martin Rosen, and unfortunately was Aaron Nei Smith, who

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: did the best job possible all game long under Marty Rosen,

89
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: who who had a good game, But that was their guy.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: He fouls out, so he's not around for over time.

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: When to Margo is off and yeah, then DeRozan hits

92
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: the first. The Pacers just ain't tall enough. They had

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: they had all their bigs out there, they had them

94
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: all there and Miles Turner, but Obie Topping just couldn't

95
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: do it.

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: He just kill you hot. He just tipped it to

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: the side. If he really had just tipped it up

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: or back.

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand he did try, and it wasn't a

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: bad move. He knocked it out of bounds. But then

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: you get Derozen where he hits his shots that baseline jumper.

102
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: Apparently according to the stats, he's fifty five percent from

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: that right baseline mid range spot. All, yeah, that's a

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: decent that's a decent number. And yeah, you missed. And

105
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: then he went off obviously in overtime where he had

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: nine and he had fifteen free throws in the game

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: that he hit a lot of points at.

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that DeRozan fifteen to twenty four from the field

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: fifteen to seventeen. At the line he had nine boards,

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: two steals. He played a lot of minutes. Game high

111
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: forty four minutes there it going to overtime. According to statitudes,

112
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: DeRozan's second oldest player in NBA history to make at

113
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: least fifteen field goals and fifteen free throws in a game,

114
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: trailing only Carl Malone, who was just a little bit

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: older when he did it. Drozen was special. I thought,

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: some big places by some of the other guys in

117
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: overtime for your bulls tk Vucci baby hit a big

118
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: turnaround jumper in overtime. He was like, you know, I

119
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: heard the bulls broadcast, get up on Myles Turner man,

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: what are you doing? But that was a big shot.

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Then you had Io blowing by Haliburton for that layup.

122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Cuz Siakam and the Pacers like they were like anybody,

123
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: but Derozen he was like face guarding him, like forty

124
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: feet away from the net, and rozen was like, somebody

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: else is gonna have to do something here. Io took

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it at Haliburton, laid it in. I thought that was nice.

127
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: And then finally really late was like twenty four seconds

128
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: ago again get the ball out of DeRozan's hands. He

129
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: gets it to Caruso and he found I guess it

130
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: was Tory Craig underneath the hoop sort of was looking away,

131
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: sort of looking at Vouch found Craig laid it in.

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: So all three of those guys making at least timely

133
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: plays to help out Who did the heavy lifting.

134
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Bowls last five wins. I think they're five, and they

135
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: must be five and two in their last seven if

136
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: I'm thinking right. Their last five wins, though they won

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: the two overtime game against Cleveland, DeRozan fouled on a

138
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: three at the end of regulation, makes all three free

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: throws to go into ot where they ended up winning.

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: They had the twenty two point comeback win against the

141
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: Kings where DeRozan outscored Sacramento nineteen to sixteen in the

142
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Then they beat the Jazz by two DeRozan

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: seventeen in the fourth quarter. Then they beat the Warriors

144
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: by three. DeRozan makes two shots in the final minute,

145
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: both to take the lead and the nicest of the

146
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: game at the line with two free throws. This guy's money.

147
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get into some NBA Award predictions or look

148
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: at the front runners. A little bit later in the show,

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: we'll even talk about the clutch Player of the Year.

150
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: And I think the odds even flipped over the last

151
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: twenty four hours or after this performance. A lot of

152
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the odds I saw had Curry as the favorite until

153
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: what DeRozan did last night, and now DeRozan is the favorite.

154
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: When you're looking at the books makers there for clutch

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, which is an award that I

156
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: sometimes forget a vote.

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 2: And it's voted on, but it's yeah, yeah, but people

158
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: just look at the numbers.

159
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both. I think

160
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: it's the numbers in clutch play and then a little

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: bit of the narrative or the games or the moments

162
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: like this. I think people are trying to weigh them both, right,

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: That's how I would I think if I voted, how

164
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: to vote?

165
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's hustle players, the one where they

166
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: just like look at yeah, stuff, right, that's good.

167
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: Yes, So that's a weird award.

168
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: This was the Bulls tenth overtime game this season.

169
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: You know what have got?

170
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: Like still, I don't know, fifteen to twenty games to go.

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: They already played ten. What's the record is there with

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: no Shuemann? Where are you at?

173
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: Man?

174
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: It's a great question.

175
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Record for an eighty two game season, for a team

176
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 1: a number of times to play an overtime game. I

177
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: assume it's a little bit more, but it can't be

178
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: much more. That's a lot of games. It's a good

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: percentage of their games going overtime.

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: I think it was the first one for the Pacers too.

181
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Yes, they did say they.

182
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 2: Know what we're not doing.

183
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on under helping the Bulls get past Pacers.

184
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, the Pacers they go deep on their team. We've

185
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: talked about aaron Nie Smith here. He wasn't there in

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: the overtime. They got so many guys. Their bench won

187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: forty seven to sixteen in this game. Fantastic to get

188
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: them there, but it's one of those things now here

189
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: without Benedict Mathern, you think, oh, less points. But they

190
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: do have so many defensive guys and that's where they

191
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: need to improve. So they showed that they could and

192
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: they try and go one through twelve. Pascal Siakam only

193
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: took twelve shots in this game, had a great night.

194
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: But they try and distribute to everybody, So all five

195
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: of their guys had double digit shots. And that's the

196
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: benefit of this team is that everybody can shoot, except

197
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: for Haliburton. Last night one of six from three. He

198
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: just splashes a couple more threes. This game is long over,

199
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: but it's one of those teams Pacers knocked off. Okay,

200
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: see the night before. Wow, that's beautiful. Yeah, that was

201
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: a huge game, but then they lose. It happens to

202
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: every freaking team.

203
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Back the back situations are difficult, for sure, and they

204
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: played well, but the Bulls, especially with the Rose and Late,

205
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: just took over. And you are getting very close to

206
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: the Bulls being back. There are two games below five hundred.

207
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

208
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: Yes, they're getting close.

209
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Man.

210
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: I was counting my backs before they hatched over the weekend.

211
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: I thought they were going to take it down the

212
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: Clippers and do it, but not quite. I actually thought

213
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: the Pacers should have gone to Siakam more. He was

214
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: just bullying the Bulls. They don't have anybody healthy right

215
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: now who's like the right size and strength to guard

216
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: a guy like Siakim. He's just playing bully ball all night,

217
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 3: but only twelve shot attempts. That's the least in their

218
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: starting lineup. The Bulls did a good job of getting

219
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: the ball out of his hands at times, but they

220
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: could have force fed him a little bit. Ended up

221
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: with too many Nampard threes.

222
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: And you're a little more plugged in than I am.

223
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: When it comes to the Chicago scene, do we have

224
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: an update at all on Kobe White?

225
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: They said it was a hip injury. It looked bad.

226
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: He started grabbing his hip instantly. I don't understand how

227
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: that's not a foul, clean block by Siakam's courtly, but

228
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: then he does like a leg drop on top of

229
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: Kobe White's head after the play.

230
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: And right, so you think, I mean, we get all

231
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: up in arms about a guy stepping under a guy

232
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: on a jump shot and they'll call it near him.

233
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: So you think the flip here if somebody fall on

234
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: you should also be a fel Do you have an

235
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: opinion on that? I see what you're saying, but it's

236
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: also I mean, was also like air. It's amazed he

237
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: didn't get hurt. I don't know how he just that

238
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: guy's just rubbering. He just bounced back up, no problem.

239
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: But it was like the Anthony Edwards where he was

240
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: chasing back. It was a real chase down block, and

241
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: when you're doing that, you're gonna hit the guy and

242
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: that happens, and I think the rest are just looking

243
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: at it like, wow, that's so fun. A few seconds

244
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: left in a basketball game where a guy comes back

245
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: and chases you down for a beautiful block. So they

246
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: don't call it, but you can easily call it.

247
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I think just there's you're talking about the calling of

248
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Siakam landing on the guy, right because he didn't foul

249
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: him in the air.

250
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, absolutely absolutely. There's just a lot of contact

251
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: and that's gonna happen when when you see a chase

252
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: down block. But it's also just fun.

253
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's okay moving forward. At least he walked off

254
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: the floor like that's good. But yeah, he was down

255
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: there for a while and you saw in the replays

256
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: like his leg is sort of when he landed by himself,

257
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: he sort of landed a little lot. And then you

258
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: have a guy that's you know, two hundred pounds come

259
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: crashing down on top of you. Yeah, that's that's gonna hurt.

260
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna leave the mark. Moving on, Donovan Mitchell returned

261
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: to the Cavaliers. They were on fire from three. They

262
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: hit twenty threes in the one to sixteen ninety five

263
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: win over the Pelicans, who had been playing really, really good. Here,

264
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: this is one of those games where it just boils

265
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: down to three point shooting in all honesty, because you

266
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: had Mitchell hitting four, Garland hit six, Sam Merrill hit five,

267
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: George Niang the Minivan himself hit four twenty of forty

268
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: five from deep, while the Pelicans four of twenty two.

269
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a lot to add

270
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: to this game, but worth noting here that Mitchell's back

271
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: and they caught fire right.

272
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there is a ton although the

273
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: free throw discrepancy was interesting and went the other direction. Yeah,

274
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: because the Cavs were out there shooting threes. This is

275
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: the modern modern day era. I think we're seeing fewer

276
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: free throws because the scores were just too high. So

277
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: they've said, you know, let's have a little fall and

278
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: see there's more offense. But now there's fewer free throws.

279
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: The Calves didn't take a free throw until the fourth quarter,

280
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: so they went a long time and they only shot

281
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: three in the fourth quarter, while Zion Williams said, I

282
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: think wanted more fowls, although you know he went to

283
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: the line a decent amount, but he was looking at

284
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: the referees to gimme a call, and the entire building

285
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: in New Orleans was asking it, Hello, Hello, he's got

286
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: George Niang. He's running right through that van and listen.

287
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Niang was doing this thing. The Pelicans, Yeah, not shooting

288
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: shooting threes was that was difficult. The Cavs took double

289
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: the amount the Pelicans did. And I've just watched this

290
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 2: Pelicans team. Maybe they play this similar thing that they

291
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 2: are playing really well. They snapped their losing streak. The

292
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: Unis Valacunas defense is going to be a question to

293
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: me in the postseason because you can you can't put

294
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: them on an island and go at him. And that's

295
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: what the Calves did to generate the driving caicks from

296
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: driving cakes. And that's why he didn't start the second half.

297
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Larry Nance started over him. So that is a question

298
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: about this team. Although they've got Zion, he ain't playing

299
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: the five. It's not it's not gonna happen. Knows. Vlachius

300
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: is as good as he's been as many as we've

301
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: talked about We talked about the basketball Jones from the

302
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 2: original toront We talked about Pascal Siaka, Deamar's former teammate.

303
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: He could have shot all hack of a lot more

304
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: yos Valonas has seen better days. This NBA is just

305
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: a little difficult for him defensively, sure, and that's why

306
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: he wasn't He wasn't playing that second half.

307
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about talk about today's game. New Orleans

308
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: outscored Cleveland in the paint. They had the advantage twenty

309
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: one to two at the free throw line, and it

310
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: didn't matter because of the disparity in three point shooting

311
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: twenty to four. That's sixty points to twelve, and that

312
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: is why the Calves won the game. It sums it

313
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: up right there. Do you have anything from this one?

314
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I actually thought the Calves reserves really won this

315
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: game because it was pretty tight up until the third

316
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: quarter when Karis Lavert, Sam Merrill and Damian Jones, who

317
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: was running wild out in there, checked in about six

318
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: minutes left. They went on a sixteen to two run,

319
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: finished plus twelve in the quarter in six minutes, turned

320
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: the game into a blow out. They were just playing

321
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: a lot faster. I thought that the Pelicans were, even

322
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: though it wasn't all fast breaks. They were just flying

323
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: through their actions. Pelicans had to be in rotation the

324
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: entire time. Caros Lavert only two points last night, but

325
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: nine assists. They were trying to stop him and he

326
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: was getting off the ball quickly. Darius Garland man, he's

327
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: turned it around. Yeah, this season. He had a really

328
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: slow start earlier in the year shooting the ball, but

329
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: since getting healthy since the All Star break, forty seven

330
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: percent from three. And then you mentioned Nyang. He's lights

331
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: out right now as well.

332
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: Vany is so weird guy to watch play.

333
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: Is a weird guy.

334
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: Side step. He was side stepping into his threes. It

335
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: wasn't just catching shoot. He's moved on. It was a

336
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: parallel park by that van sidestep beyond the three point

337
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: line too.

338
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: NBA Finals rebatch last night on ESPN, Nuggets beat the

339
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Heat one to eighty eight, and Denver has taken sole

340
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: possession of first place in the Western Conference standings. They're

341
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: an NBA best ten and one since the All Star Break.

342
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: And I saw that the Nuggets are thirty two and

343
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: nine this year when their go to starting five of Joki, Chmurray,

344
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior, Aaron Gordon, and Contavious Coldwell. Pope are

345
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: all together in the lineup. Pretty good record, and you

346
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: know they are not scared of the Miami Heat at all.

347
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: We talked sometimes about like maybe the Bucks are scared

348
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: of the Heat. Maybe the Celtics are a rightfully scared

349
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: of the Heat come playoff time, Denver Nuggets or not.

350
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: I think that's safe to say. They sort of just

351
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: own them.

352
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: Twelve and one in their last thirteen against the Miami Heat.

353
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what do you think of Denver get the

354
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: twelve point win?

355
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: This was a crunch time game. This was a five

356
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: point game, just a good point four minutes and thirty

357
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: five seconds left after Terry Rozier made a jump shot.

358
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: Nikola Jokicic took one shot in the final five minutes,

359
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: zero assists, and he completely won him the game with screaming.

360
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy oh screen talk.

361
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: First first two were on Terry Rozier. He's guarding Reggie

362
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: Jackson and Jokis just takes him completely out of the play.

363
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: Reggie walks into two easy fifteen footers. Timeouts happened, subs happen.

364
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: Now it's Butler who's guarding Reggie Jackson. He dances around

365
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: the Yolkic pick, but Reggie Jackson didn't. The all flow hits,

366
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: the step back three turned a five point game into

367
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: a ten point game. The guy barely touched the ball

368
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, or at least down the stretch here,

369
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 3: and just was blasting the tiny little heat out there,

370
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: getting wide open looks for Reggie Jackson, not even for

371
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray. Jamal is happening to let him cook. Then

372
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: they finally checked Murray in as well, and somehow this

373
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: turned into a twelve point game when it was five

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: points with four minutes. That's how good the Nuggets are

375
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: at flipping.

376
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: The switch totally. Reggie Jackson three threes on three consecutive possessions,

377
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 2: that's freaking impressive. But you're totally right. This was just

378
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: a late scoring game for them. They held Miami to

379
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: four points in the last four and a half minutes,

380
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: so they won it in the fourth quarter. That's what

381
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: they do. That's kind of what championship teams do. They

382
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: look at the fourth court and they say, all right,

383
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: we'll do this thing.

384
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: Turn it up.

385
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 2: And Michael Malone, head coach, said this after the game.

386
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: Sometimes we always talk about something. Excuse me, we always

387
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: talk about is that you're fourth quarter has to be

388
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: your best quarter. It's closing time, as closing time.

389
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, get the guitar. Nick Nurse is like, hold on,

390
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't know the only.

391
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: Guy that plays guitar in the end I would sing.

392
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: Those are the only lyrics I know. You don't have

393
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: to go home, but you can't stay here.

394
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: That's it. I was gonna go. It's closing it's closing time.

395
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: It's not a song, that's it's business time. That's business time. Yeah,

396
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: that's where I go.

397
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: Wednesday is the night.

398
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true.

399
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: Getting back to Jack Armstrong always sings that song. Yeah,

400
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: that's right, just saying but we always talk about Jokich.

401
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: We talked about Murray and then Gordon. Those are the

402
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: first three nuggets we talked about, and then we KCP

403
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: might be the fourth. Maybe it might be Michael Port Junior.

404
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: But that guy contributes. They have so many guys who contribute.

405
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: He had five threes last night.

406
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: He is on fire since the All Star break. Shout

407
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: out to ESPN's Cassidy Hubberth for bringing this up on

408
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Uh he's averaging over twenty points per game

409
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: since they came back from the break. Michael Porter Junior

410
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: is shooting fifty five percent from the field, forty three

411
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: percent from deep, and ninety three percent at the line.

412
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't get there a ton, but I think he's

413
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: sixteen of eighteen at the line since they've come back.

414
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: That's huge. Wow, they got another twenty point per game score.

415
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: We've seen him have these moments in these stretches, for sure,

416
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: but that's those are unreal efficient numbers there from all

417
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: three facets. So he's got it going. He's a big

418
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: reason why they are barely lost here since they came back,

419
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: and they had their eyes on that number one seed

420
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: when the texts started flying around.

421
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: That's right, yeah, sending those texts. Don't get me anything

422
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: for my birthday. All I want is the one seed.

423
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: And then he blast his teammates and they ain't give

424
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: me anything.

425
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: Well, they got it. It was a late birthday.

426
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: Give the number, yeah seed, we'll get you the one seed.

427
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: I also thought the Aaron Gordon small ball five. We've

428
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: seen it a lot of times, but you know, the

429
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: Nuggets try to stay away from it during the regular season.

430
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: Zeke Nage got some run in the first half save

431
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon's legs, and then the reserves plus Aaron Gordon

432
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: at small ball five, like they were completely cooking. I

433
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: thought in this one, Yeah.

434
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: That was the question coming into the season. Do they

435
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: have enough guys? And Peyton Watson looks great, He's a

436
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: great defender, had a monster dunk in this game to

437
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: give them the first seed alone for the first time

438
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: in four months. They haven't been up there since freaking

439
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: middle of November, and here they are. Don't go to

440
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: the White House that gets you the first seed, I guess.

441
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: Moving on Sabonis, another triple double for this guy as

442
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: the Kings beat the Lakers one twenty to one oh seven.

443
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: They swept the Lakers for only their second time in

444
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: franchise history. So it took all four games versus LA

445
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: in pretty dominant fashion. Here your thoughts.

446
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 3: TK Tamanta Sabonis is ten and zero against Anthony Davis career.

447
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I saw this too. I was surprised.

448
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: I was surprised. I mean, like, I'm guessing some of

449
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 3: those Pacers and Pelicans teams were evenly matched. The Lakers

450
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: have won a title, you know, with Anthony Davis. You

451
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: would assume that they are ahead of the Kings, but

452
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: Sabonis not afraid of Anthony Davis when.

453
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: He plays, just because I looked it up. For those

454
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: games were when Sabonis was on the Thunder.

455
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: That's a that's a long time.

456
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh, he was only on the floor with Anthony Davis

457
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: when he was a pacer just once and then five

458
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: were with the Kings. There you go, so weird stuff.

459
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: But he has been rolling. He has been rolling obviously,

460
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: you know, the last five games with the Kings and

461
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: this year of.

462
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 3: Sweep seventeen points, nineteen boards and ten assists, and the

463
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: physicality he brings to Davis. That's a place where you

464
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: can maybe exploit Anthony Davis sometimes if you're able to

465
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: just get your shoulder and go and push him around.

466
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: There was that play I guess it was probably in

467
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: the third quarter where he just sizes up ad spin, spins,

468
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: somehow knocks him down with a spin move and finishes

469
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: over top of him as well. It's impressive stuff. And

470
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: then it's kind of weird because I feel like Davis

471
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: can't handle Sabonis's physicality the whole time. And on the perimeter,

472
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers can't stick with the King's speed, so it's

473
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 3: kind of like a Fox and Ox situation out there

474
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: for him. And that's why the Kings seem to have

475
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: the Lakers number right now.

476
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: Big shooting nights two from Keegan Murray who hit five

477
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: threes and then Harrison Barnes who hit seven. So those

478
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: guys contributing twelve three pointers for Sacramento. And you know,

479
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers like got back in this game, and it

480
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: felt like every time they did it was one of

481
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: those two guys, especially Harrison Barnes, who had like a

482
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: timely three to sort of give them a little bit

483
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: of breathing room, and they went on to win pretty handily.

484
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: The Kings man fascinating team. They have an incredible record.

485
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: I know the Lakers are not near the top of

486
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, but they have a good record against

487
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the good teams in the West. They're gonna be playing,

488
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: in theory a good team in a play in situation

489
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: or maybe even in the playoffs if they can stay

490
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: in that top six. I'm just fascinated to see if

491
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: they can get their first playoff series win in a

492
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: very very very long time.

493
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Kings get ready for the good teams. That

494
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: is totally true, and I think the Lakers are good

495
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: enough in that category for them to look at and say,

496
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna play, We're gonna do this, similar

497
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: to what we saw with the Pelicans last night. You

498
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: get good performances from time to time, and I thought

499
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: Kean Ellis starting for Kevin Hurder was good for them.

500
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: He's been a guy twenty four year old, undrafted, who

501
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: plays hard defensively, might take Davian Mitchell's minutes at times,

502
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: but he was great hidden multiple threes. They were just

503
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: spacing the floor against them. That's kind of where this

504
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 2: game was won, partly because they were quick. As Trey said,

505
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: five more threes than the Lakers. That hurt. And Dangel Russell,

506
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, he said he was a killer a couple

507
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. I'm a killer, That's what I do.

508
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: He was killed in this one. Yeah.

509
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Bad was six points two to nine shooting, only won three,

510
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: two turnovers to six assists. Yeah, not a good de

511
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Lo game. He was due for a real bad stinker,

512
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: unfortunately for him. One other game I really want to

513
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: break down here with you guys. Lucas scored twenty one,

514
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: but his triple double streak ended at seven as the

515
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: MAVs got past the Warriors one, nine ninety nine. So

516
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: a few things. First off, the Warriors need Steph Curry

517
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: desperately to come back. They've dropped five of their last

518
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: six this season without him. Kerr said before the game

519
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Curry should join the team in Los Angeles, and the

520
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: coach was hopeful that Curry might play in Saturday's game

521
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. That's a nationally televised game. That's a

522
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: big game. When you're looking at the standings there in

523
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: the playing spots right now, So they need him. I mean,

524
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: that's that's a no brainer. Chris Paul. Did you guys

525
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: see Chris Paul give the referee a tech after he

526
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: got a tech? That was a first for me. It

527
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: was amazing. Chris Paul arguing about the no call sort

528
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: of at the end of a shot clock there, what

529
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: the heck? I got hit? He gets teed up for arguing.

530
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: And so while PJ. Washington is like going like this,

531
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: like crazy with the tech, Chris Paul just very calmly

532
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: gives a TECH back to the referee. What a guy that,

533
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can get away with that.

534
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: When you've played as long as Chris Paul and you've

535
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: been the president of the Players Union and stuff like that,

536
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: it is a weird. It looks funny because we had

537
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: three people basically giving the tech signal all within like

538
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: a five second span.

539
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 2: I guess it wasn't Scott Foster.

540
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't Scott. I forget, I forget the name of

541
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: this official. It wasn't Scott. He would be kicked out,

542
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: you're right, but then Chris Paul would have kicked him out.

543
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 3: Oh interesting. We need a best Chris Paul referee moments

544
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 3: pack put together because there was that time. Who did

545
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: he notice that had their jersey untucked for knowing the

546
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 3: jersey rules. That's got to make the list. This would

547
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: make the list. Funny stuff.

548
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 1: There's gotta be numerous examples of him, you know, officiating

549
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: a game. I said Lucas triple double, his run ended

550
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: at seven games. He only played thirty minutes due to

551
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: a tender left hamstring. That's something to watch. Jason Kidd

552
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: said he wasn't sure if Luca would make the trip

553
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: to OKC they played tonight. That's a back to back

554
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: situation for Dallas. That is also a nationally televised game.

555
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: That one's on TNT, So my gut would say, Lucas

556
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: sits this one out, but keep your eye on that.

557
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: Obviously they need him moving forward. But you know, he

558
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: sort of came back in for a second. He's like, nope, nope.

559
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Didn't matter in the end because they got the win.

560
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: But that always sucks. And then finally, Daniel Gafford made

561
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: all five baskets last night to push his streak to

562
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: thirty three field goals made in a row. Those dreamy

563
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: eyes staring down Wilt Chamberlain for the best run of

564
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: consecutive made baskets in NBA history. Gafferd just two away

565
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: from tying that all time mark. It's wild when you

566
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: do the little deep dive into shot selection for Daniel Gafford.

567
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: Seventeen of Gafford's thirty three straight buckets have been dunks,

568
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: including all five last night in the win. Thirty one

569
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: of them have come with at least one foot inside

570
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: the restricted area, so we're talking basically all dunks and layups.

571
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: Of those, maybe three or four have been contested with

572
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: someone even near him. He is not a jump shooter.

573
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: In fact, when you look at the numbers. Three hundred

574
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: and sixty six of his three hundred and seventy six

575
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: attempts have come from inside the paint this season, and

576
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: most of those within like the four foot little restricted area.

577
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: He's only taken sixty nine shots this entire season that

578
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: weren't a layup or dunk. I mean, this is all

579
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: this guy does. Hey, do what you're good at. Right.

580
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: CBS Sports inform me that Gafford is on track to

581
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: own the NBA's all time mark for career field goal

582
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: percentage among all players to attempt at least two thousand shots.

583
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan, at sixty seven point four percent, has the

584
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: best you know rate from the field in NBA history

585
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: again two thousand attempts. Gafford is at just over fifteen

586
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: hundred attempts, so he's got a little bit to go

587
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: until we hit that two thousand shot mark. But he's

588
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: currently posting a seventy point six career field goal percentage,

589
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: so this might be something in play hero and especially

590
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: if he's playing with Luca Yeah, for the next couple

591
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: of years that he might become the all time leader

592
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: in field goal percentage for career rear and then of

593
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: course he's trying to chase Wilt here and uh, at

594
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: this point, he's just got to do it. Just he

595
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: won't take a shot. Just don't take a shot unless

596
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: it's a dunk.

597
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: Totally.

598
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 1: He really is going to have to get blocked. I

599
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: think for this to snap here in like maybe the

600
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: next game or.

601
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: The one after that. You said they got the thunder next. Yes,

602
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 3: it's a good shot blocker. No Luca too, Maybe no Luca. Yeah,

603
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: this is a huge test for Daniel.

604
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: Test, big test tonight. Keep your eyes on TNT. They

605
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: had better have a Gafford counter on the screen.

606
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

607
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: Again with his beautiful eyes, maybe they're on the screen

608
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: as a bug as he ticks up hopefully catches Wilt.

609
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: It'd be very funny if Daniel Gefford has this record.

610
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: I really I'm hoping for it.

611
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 3: I think I think it'll happen. So I think he's

612
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: going to be very judicious about his shot selection for

613
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: the next three shots that he takes. I would also

614
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: love to see I've seen a compilation of the thirty

615
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: three straight makes and you're exactly right. Yeah, he hit

616
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: like two tough shots where there's like hands in his face.

617
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: I would like to see a compilation of the times

618
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: he's dribbled since he to the Dallas Mavericks. Has it

619
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: happened yet? Does he have a dribble? I don't know.

620
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

621
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: No dribble dance.

622
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So you think, should he play it like this

623
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: tonight thunder? Obviously try and get those three, let's say,

624
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: dunks or layups to set the record to beat Wilt,

625
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: and then on that next shot he should just pull

626
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: up from half well, like take a three, just get

627
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: silly with it. You got the record, or really really

628
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: try and really try and pad that record, get it

629
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: up into the forties, maybe the fifties, something like that.

630
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see how he tackles this.

631
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't believe looking at the stats that he

632
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: is the all time leader right now. Right now, I

633
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: just just didn't didn't compute to me. I don't think

634
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: of it. Next, Yeah, could perdle. That's sixty five point

635
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: six percent. That's a pretty big gap. Yeah. Consider Yeah,

636
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: considering there's lots of guys who don't shoot Rudy Gobert's fourth,

637
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: So that's uh, there's lots of guys who just keep

638
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: it in the restricted area. I can't believe that. You know,

639
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: the fact, that fact is interesting that he's had one

640
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: foot in the restricted area for a lot of these shots.

641
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: The stats are out there. Yeah, CBS Sports helping me

642
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: out this morning with that. The other games we had

643
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: mechic the Rooks scoring a career best twenty five, Hornets

644
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: beat the Grizzlies one ten ninety eight. Pella Bancaro twenty

645
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: one led the Magic over the Nets one fourteen, one

646
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: oh six, Anthony Simons and DeAndre Ayton, who's on a

647
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: heater right now he had thirty three. Portland beat the

648
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: Hawks one six, one two despite Dejeantey Murray with a

649
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: big game and then Jalen Duran career high twenty three rebounds.

650
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: That's a lot of roast beef as.

651
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: The Pistons beat the Raps one thirteen, one oh four

652
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: for their third win and four and a big win

653
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: in the net dust Bowl standings task taking the lead

654
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: back from me and my Wizards. Any thoughts on any

655
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: of those.

656
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: Games, Well, Jalen Duran twenty four and twenty three for

657
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: a twenty year old triple twenties, that's impressive stuff for them.

658
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: One two in a row for the third time this season,

659
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: but three and four that's the first time they done

660
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: that all season long. So they're winning basketball games. Dean Drayton,

661
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: he's a march man. This is what he turns.

662
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: Man.

663
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: I think it doesn't matter. Let me get those.

664
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: Stets, let me he's like.

665
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: I think this is like three games in a row

666
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: that he's put up some months or numbers. He's going

667
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: to be winning somebody, uh a fantasy championship here as

668
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: you get into the to the home stretch and maybe

669
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: even I don't know when the postseason starts for some

670
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: of these leagues.

671
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,479
Speaker 3: Doesn't kill you on free throws.

672
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Maybe won a game. He's good when he's playing like this,

673
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: But you think it's just, uh, you're not going to

674
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: be banking on this at the start of next year.

675
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: No, that's why Phoenix said, we're ready to go. Unfortunately,

676
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: that's been the story of Dean Drayton's career. Hasn't jibed

677
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 2: with many people and dribed with somebody. I guess he

678
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: didn't get it along with Monty Williams all that much. Anyways,

679
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: we are here in this year six of jan Drayton's career.

680
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a talented guy, he signed that monster deal,

681
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: but I can't be a number one guy until March.

682
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: Then you just give them the ball. Let's just go

683
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: for it, man.

684
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Since coming back from a little injury there, he's

685
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: had games of thirty and nineteen, twenty two and fifteen,

686
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: and then last night thirty three and nineteen. He's killing

687
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: it open. This was against the Raptors, the Celtics and

688
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: the Hawks, and two of those in wins for Portland too,

689
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: so it's actually helping him out there.

690
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Paul. Chris Paul's just on a podcast. I

691
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: want him on another podcast where he's asked about his

692
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: relationship with Deandrayton. Did you like him? Do you hate him?

693
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: Tell me why you hated him? Yeah? Uh, do you.

694
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: Have any thoughts on any of those games?

695
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'll call him Bradley Cooper because Vasa Michic is

696
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: the maestro. Twenty five points, eight assists, nine for ten

697
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: from the field, five for six from three had the

698
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: Serbian connection working with Poku. I don't know why the

699
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: Thunder could never unlock that duo, but they assisted each

700
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: other at least three times in this game, and michich

701
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: was just cooking. It was like pick and roll every

702
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: single time with him, and he was just finding the

703
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: pocket pass every time. The guys you've never heard of,

704
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 3: like it was Michich versus Trey Jenison out there. Stay

705
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 3: tuned for some shorts coming out because there's some random

706
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: names going on in a Hornet's Grizzlies game right now.

707
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is there ever? And I think Ziller

708
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: brought this up in his newsletter. Hopefully he's playing for Serbia.

709
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Come come the summer here with some some Yokic and

710
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: some Poku's and uh, you can play. I mean he

711
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: really can. So great game from him. Let's take a break.

712
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: Hold on good No.

713
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: No, no, watch, No it's not it's.

714
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: Not on Netflix. Yeah, it's I do.

715
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: I would not recommend it. I did not like it. It

716
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: felt a little too much like Bradley Cooper was really

717
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: going for his uh, for his Oscar. He did it all.

718
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he directed it. I think he produced it.

719
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: He's obviously.

720
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: Though, Oh but it's his. It's his movie, is my point,

721
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: Cooper's movie, and it's it's not that great. It's not

722
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: all black and white.

723
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: Shots I've seen.

724
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, it's there some black and white I don't

725
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: think the whole thing was nice. I think there's a

726
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: little color in it. Okay, quick break, when we come

727
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: back MBA Awards talk, don't go anywhere. Well, it's our

728
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: lucky day because John Schuman is in the chat. He

729
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: is in the stream team, and he's dropping nuggets left

730
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: and right. Because we got all these questions about guys

731
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: and how little they dribble and overtime games for a season.

732
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: Give me some of the Schumann stats here.

733
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 3: Fat's in the chat. Brought to you by John Schuman.

734
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 3: Most overtime wins. The two thousand, two thousand and one

735
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: Sacramento Kings won nine overtime games. I just looked, they

736
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: played twelve overtime games. Okay, most overtime losses the two

737
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: thousand and two thousand and one Clippers. I wonder if

738
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: they played each other in overtime. I'll check into that.

739
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: And also the nineteen fifty two to fifty three Bullets.

740
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: They both lost ten overtime games in those seasons. So

741
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 3: that's a crazy one. Let's scroll down here. This one

742
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: was just tossed in, not even requested. He went oh

743
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: and eight against the top four seeds in the Western Conference.

744
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: The only other winless teams against that group are the

745
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: Blazers and Wizards. Can't be encouraging if you're betting on

746
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: the Heat to win the NBA Championship this season. That

747
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: was just a free one. Thank you for Josh Shuman.

748
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: That's just one. He's like, I don't I don't even

749
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna put this in the power rankings. I got too much.

750
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: I'll just chuck it in the stream team chat, all right,

751
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: thanks Sho.

752
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: He also mentions that the Kings and Wolves haven't won

753
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: a playoff series since two thousand and four, and the

754
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: Hornets also haven't won a series since two thousand and four,

755
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: which was the year the Bobcats were born.

756
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: Holy, Holy, Holy.

757
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: That one's just another free one for you. And then

758
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: we're talking dribbles. No dribble Dan Daniel Gafford has averaged

759
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: zero point two eight dribbles per touch since joining the

760
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. Derek Lively has actually averaged fewer zero point

761
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: two zero dribbles per touch per touch.

762
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a very little dribbling.

763
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe like a dribble handoff, catch the ball at

764
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 3: the top of the key, dribbled then handed to Kyrie

765
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: or Luke had to do something rolled there and.

766
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: Great stats, incredible statue. We'll find you another podcast that

767
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: has NBA's own John Schumann live dropping nuggets like that.

768
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: You can't.

769
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: You can't.

770
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: Right now they're saying, nug me up, John.

771
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: I will say I.

772
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: Watched, uh, just randomly flipping through the guide last night.

773
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: There was early games on, and then I was waiting

774
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: for some Survivor and I saw on ESPN News the

775
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: Zach Low podcast.

776
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: It's on TV.

777
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was him and Pelton. You know, it's just

778
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: their podcast. But just you know, put into television form.

779
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: Every media company is doing. You guys, record a podcast,

780
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: put it on our television. They're doing it. Schumann recorded

781
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 2: up pod with Sarah Coustak, I do believe recently, if

782
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken.

783
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they usually they usually do.

784
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: Not on TV though, Sorry, you can't put Schuman on TV.

785
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can't you?

786
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh that Derek Lively Mark by the way, lowis dribbles

787
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 3: per touch in the league. Whyt who That one came

788
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 3: from Allen's from Shuman, Alan is from Schumann. Point two

789
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 3: here in public says she ought to know. Jack said,

790
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 3: but not as you ought to know. Now that sounds

791
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 3: like a television segment. Right, you want to know, we

792
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 3: got a C block with your name on it. John, Oh,

793
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: this is great.

794
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: Uh, let's get into some NBA Awards, the odds, the predictions. Uh,

795
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: we have fewer than twenty games to play, which is,

796
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little shocking to some. But here's

797
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: where all of the current NBA Awards racists stand. I

798
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: feel in going through this that like maybe four, if

799
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: not five, of these are already wrapped up. But I'm

800
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: interested to hear your guys takes and everybody joining us

801
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: live on YouTube board listening to the podcast later. So

802
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: we'll move through these with some pace because we talked

803
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: about them a lot. But the MVP right now, Jokich

804
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: is still the favorite minus two seventy five. Then we

805
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: have SGA plus four hundred and Luka coming up with

806
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: plus eight hundred. Trey. I know where you stand on this.

807
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: You believe Jokicic's what nine nine percent gonna win his

808
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: third MVP here in four years? Is that too high?

809
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Does SGA like, could the thunder get the number one

810
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: seed and would that be enough to sway some people?

811
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: What do you think?

812
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 3: Well? I don't think Jokic will be unanimous by any means,

813
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 3: but he was the leader in the NBA or in

814
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: the MVP straw pole that Tim Bontemps does over a ESPN.

815
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: He was the leader most recently, though. I think he

816
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: said at the time that if you're the leader in

817
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: that one, you don't win usually true. True, But then

818
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: we saw Jokic have a massive game against the Celtics

819
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 3: in a big spot, so that to me is when

820
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 3: he won it. It's like a Heisman Trophy moment that

821
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 3: people always talk about. But Shay definitely has a case,

822
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 3: especially at the thunder do end with the one seed.

823
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 3: Ironically enough, like he will be ahead of Jokic and

824
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 3: a lot of advanced stats, which is usually where Jokic

825
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: has made his hay in some of these MVP votes.

826
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: But I think that Jokic is kind of widely recognized

827
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: as the best player in the league right now, and

828
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 3: the Nuggets have turned it on in the back half

829
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 3: of the season here, Jokic putting up great numbers as well,

830
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 3: and the Nuggets are winning a bunch of games, and

831
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 3: his defense has been pretty solid as well. So I

832
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be yokicch.

833
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: Three and four years. It sure feels like that's gonna

834
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: happen here in March, which is odd because late earlier

835
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: on before Yokitch went on this run, we're all we

836
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: and everybody out there was giving it to. Shay was

837
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: given it to you know me, a little little Luca

838
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 2: Yannis was in there. But now it's it's become locked.

839
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: So it is it all doesn't really matter in January,

840
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: is what I'm saying. Ohough, it's fun to talk about.

841
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: I remember talking to the great to Kenmy Matumba on

842
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 2: our show. It was the Starters he was on in

843
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: early January. We asked him, was Lebron is gonna win

844
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: the MVP? It was twenty eighteen. He didn't want to

845
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 2: answer that.

846
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 3: He said it's too early, man.

847
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 2: Basically is what he said is too early. He's right,

848
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 2: He's right. It was a little too early. But now

849
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: it's it feels like even with a month left, which

850
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: kind of goes with with what I'm arguing here that

851
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: it's too early. Doesn't feel like it's too early for

852
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: Nikola jokicch feels like he's got it at this point.

853
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: Do you think I don't know the thunder just go

854
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: on a crazy run here to end and win the

855
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 1: West by a handful of games. Would that be enough

856
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: to persuade people to vote for him? I mean'd be deserving,

857
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: would he not? If they had the number one seed

858
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: with his stats? Let's, you know, throw in another SGA

859
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: game winner or two. Like, I'm with you, it feels

860
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: like it's like, maybe not ninety nine percent locked up,

861
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: but it feels like it's like ninety percent going to

862
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: go to Jokic. But I think there's a small, small

863
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: chance that SGA could get it. Unlikely as it is.

864
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: You're right, and his defense is freaking great. Yeah, I

865
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: think people people don't include that in his conversation. Jokic

866
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: is good too, There's no doubt. But Shay is awesome

867
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: on both ends.

868
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. The odds favor when Yama. I

869
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: couldn't believe by how much though.

870
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: I can't believe that.

871
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was a typo. I was like, where,

872
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: this is a freaking joke? Okay, wellmen, Yama for Rookie

873
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: of the Year. Who I mean, I've been saying for

874
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: a very long time. He is gonna win this and

875
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: is deserving of it. But minus ten thousand, then chet

876
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Holmgren who's having an incredible Rookie of the Year, would

877
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: win it most other years. He's plus twenty five hundred,

878
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: and then Brandon Miller's got to put a third name

879
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: on the list. He's plus fifty thousand. Don't vote on

880
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: fifty thousand.

881
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: That was just a wild odds.

882
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, so you guys, it sounds like you

883
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: were just as shocked that. Yeah, as much as we

884
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: think wemen Yama is gonna get this, it's a little

885
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: glaring the difference in odds, is it not.

886
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you literally have to put down ten thousand dollars

887
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 2: to win one hundred.

888
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: Don't do that.

889
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: If you want to bet on Victor Remenyama, you literally

890
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: have to put on put down ten thousand dollars to

891
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: win just one hundred dollars. I would never do that.

892
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: I'd be more inclined to put down one hundred dollars

893
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: to win fifty thousand for Brandon Miller. But there ain't

894
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: wait either, Oh, there ain't no way you're gonna win. Yeah,

895
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: you know you could. You'd probably be I guess smarter

896
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: if you're gambling to put it on Chet Holmgren. I mean,

897
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 2: these are more this is more gambling line than actual

898
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: guys who are gonna win for sure. You know, it

899
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: has less to do with the voting and more has

900
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: more to do with the dollar dollar bills and who

901
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: where people are putting money. But it definitely feels like women, Yeah,

902
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: it's gonna win this thing, but like the bed not

903
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: a bad one. Yeah.

904
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the odds exploded. It felt like in favor of

905
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: Wmen Yama even more when they had that last matchup

906
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: and they both put up good numbers, but Wenby sort

907
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: of got the best of them, had that crazy block

908
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: on them. You know that helped his case. He's going

909
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: to win. I'm curious to see just check it, or

910
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: how many first place votes he gets. I think he will.

911
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: I think I think people will be like, you know,

912
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: look at the numbers are aren't similar, and he's on

913
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: a better team than Women Yama and maybe they are

914
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: the number one seedt or whatever, top through whatever, so

915
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: he might get a few. But Women Yama, tray is

916
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: your is your pick? I assumed to win this overall?

917
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean might as well bet on him. You're

918
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 3: gonna win. You're gonna win pennies, yeah, maybe dimes, depending

919
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: on how much he anty up, but minus ten thousand,

920
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 3: it's I don't know, plus fifty thousand looks hilarious, my guy,

921
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: Brad Miller.

922
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. All right, Let's move

923
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: on to defense. Rudy Gobert is the odds on favorite

924
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: still minus nine hundred to win another Defensive Player of

925
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: the Year, when Ben Yama second plus seven hundred and

926
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: then Jared Allen in third at plus three thousand. Rudy,

927
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, leads the league in defensive win shares and

928
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: defensive raiding, and he holds down the middle for the

929
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: best defensive team in the league. He leads the league

930
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: an opponent field goal percentage inside six feet. You know,

931
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,959
Speaker 1: it's tough to score on this guy. He ranks second

932
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: in the league in rebounds, just to Sabonis. He averages

933
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: almost thirteen per game. So I think this is going

934
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: to be the pick for sure here, and the odds

935
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: makers agree with that.

936
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: Your takeaway, yeah, I think it's smart that they put

937
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: Wemby in here at plus seven hundred. More likely to

938
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: get action on that than a minus ten thousand, because

939
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't think when be Yama is gonna win it,

940
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 3: but he's leading the league in shop blocking and he

941
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 3: might actually be the best defensive player in the league,

942
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 3: but his team's defense is pretty poor, so there's no

943
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: chance he really has of winning it, though. I do

944
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 3: think he will get some votes, and I think Gobert

945
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: is the right choice because of the way that the

946
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,959
Speaker 3: timber Wolves have had the top defense in the league

947
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,959
Speaker 3: basically the entire season because of Rudy Gobert, and that's

948
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 3: one of the main reasons they're so high in the

949
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 3: Western Conference. I think he is a deserving choice.

950
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just took us like one year later. We

951
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: thought this was going to be the case last year

952
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: with Rudy Gobert when he went to Minnesota, and then

953
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't. They weren't that, you know, elite defensively, but

954
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: they obviously are this year and you think they'll win.

955
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: They got the narrative, that's for sure, and that helps

956
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 2: when voting for the defensive player. Although defensive wind chiars

957
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 2: and all that matters, it is the most difficult award

958
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: to assess by stats imo. But Gobert is awesome, that

959
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: is totally clear. And he says that he thinks that

960
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: there's some fixing within the gambling, so I wonder if

961
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: he bets on.

962
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: Himself here yeah or not?

963
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? You're gonna win?

964
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: Why not? I don't think it's legal.

965
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: It's probably not legal, but he knows somebody, like when

966
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: he complains that a referee doesn't do it, are the

967
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 2: referee or or referees could be putting money in that.

968
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: He knows that somebody could be giving a referee money

969
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 2: as he could beat it through through.

970
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: His friend intermediaries.

971
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if he, if.

972
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: He or when he, I guess. Rudy Gobert wins his

973
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: fourth Defensive Player of the Year. That joins rare company

974
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: to Ken Bay and Ben Wallace, the only other two

975
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: guys to have four of those trophies. Dwight has three, uh,

976
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: which Rudy obviously has right now. He won an eighteen

977
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty one and then Rudy could possibly win here

978
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: in twenty three twenty four season. Well, it's pretty crazy

979
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: and like who's to say. I mean when Yama the

980
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: good thing about him being second, it's like with Defensive

981
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, it is always like it's like

982
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: a year or two late. So you got to get

983
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: on these lists and that really helps his chances. Maybe

984
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: next year when Yama to win it if the Spurs

985
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: are better and there are team defenses better and obviously

986
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: his stat are similar. But man, Rudy like he might

987
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: have I don't know, I guess he could have another.

988
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he have another, possibly one or two in

989
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: them to break the tie if he goes on to

990
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: win this fourth one with the Kembay and ben Walls.

991
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 3: You're right though, would have to happen quickly, But yeah,

992
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 3: Yembanyama will start winning them pretty soon. Like if the

993
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: Spurs somehow finished top fifteen in defense and Wenby is

994
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 3: playing the way he did this season, he would probably

995
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 3: win it.

996
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rudy has changed since last year. It just in

997
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 2: terms of guarding space. Look at the teams that go

998
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: up against the Timberwolves and the way they shoot threes

999
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: and watching that guy come out, I mean, he's he's

1000
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: just way more nimble. But Wemby's coming for him, that's

1001
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: for sure.

1002
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: Sixth Man of the Year Malik Monk is the favorite

1003
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: minus three point fifty. At least this one's a little

1004
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: closer though. Norman Powell plus four to fifty and Nas

1005
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: Reid drop your nas Red in the chat plus eleven

1006
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: hundred but it feels like Malik Monk's last couple of

1007
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 1: weeks maybe reinforced his chances to win his first sixth

1008
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: Man of the Year. He's obviously been on that list before,

1009
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: but he is the leader among backups in clutch scoring

1010
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: average something I think Monk. I have been saying this

1011
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: one for a long time, especially around January. I thought

1012
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: the odds were really good then. I think they were

1013
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: like plus eight hundred for him, and I think he's

1014
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: sort of taken this over as some of these other

1015
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: names have slid a little bit or haven't. Maybe you know,

1016
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: Tim Hardaway Junior was in discussion for a while, Bobby

1017
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: Portus's name, Caros Lavert. You've brought up Trey Jordan Clarkson

1018
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: has monster games sometimes off the bench. But I think

1019
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: Monk I think he's deserving too, you know, I've said before,

1020
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: and the clutch sort of stats back it up. His

1021
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: points just for whatever reason in games feel a little

1022
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: bit more significant at times to me. But thoughts on

1023
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: six man.

1024
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm definitely good with Monk. I'm definitely kind of good

1025
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: with Norman Powell, to be honest, He's awesome. He was

1026
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 2: up there in voting last year. He was fourth and

1027
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 2: Monk was fifth. Surprisingly I totally skipped my mind, but

1028
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: both those guys extremely deserving and both have played in

1029
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: a ton of games here sixty three and sixty four respectively.

1030
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 2: Does that factor into voting, I guess not, but it

1031
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 2: showed a little bit if you play that many games

1032
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: and all on the bench. Primarily, basically every single game

1033
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: that leak Munk has played has come off the bench.

1034
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 2: It isn't one of those weird situations where you start

1035
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of games.

1036
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: Well like nas Reed right now is getting more opportunity

1037
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: with the Karl Anthony Towns injury and sometimes that you know,

1038
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: it can goose numbers and stuff like that. But yeah,

1039
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: Monk is a he is a certified six man, so

1040
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: his Powell. I think he only started one game. Yeah,

1041
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: thats only has one start as well, does he Okay, yeah,

1042
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: but that's why I caught myself. I was gonna say

1043
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: he's getting more starts, but I they're actually not starting him.

1044
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 3: And he had a great game, yeah when he started

1045
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 3: twenty five points, but then he went back to the bench,

1046
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 3: so only scored six in a big win over the Clippers.

1047
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: I think nas Reid could make a little run here

1048
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 3: at the end of the season, just because, like you're saying,

1049
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 3: Towns is out. So it wouldn't be surprising to see

1050
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: Reid in the closing lineup with the Timberwolves. And he's

1051
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 3: got a fun game to watch as well. He plays

1052
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: like a guard even though he's there. Four slash five.

1053
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like one of the first awards we've

1054
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: talked about that it's still like could be decided. I

1055
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: think Monk will win, but yeah, you're right, owl Raid,

1056
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: maybe one of those other guys those first three awards

1057
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: we talked about. I mean, it feels like it's gonna

1058
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 1: be Yoll, Kic, Wemby, and Gobert winning their respective awards.

1059
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: This next one, though, might still be open. Most improved.

1060
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: Tyres Maxie is still the favorite last I checked minus

1061
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: one forty five, Kobe White though right behind him plus

1062
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: one ten, and then Jadub Jaell and Williams on the

1063
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: Thunder plus three thousand, So it's a two man race. TK.

1064
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: For a long time, you've been thinking Kobe White, will

1065
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe should be the front runner. Maybe we'll

1066
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: win this. There's a fair debate here. Obviously, both guys

1067
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: have had great improved seasons, but maybe make the case

1068
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: for Kobe.

1069
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 3: Well, Koby White is the most improved. I think that

1070
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 3: that's clear. But Tyrese Maxie is most similar to recent

1071
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 3: Most Improved winners, going from a good player to an

1072
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 3: All Star, largely because he played the first thirty four

1073
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: games of the season with Joel Embiid and he was

1074
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 3: the perfect yeah guy right next to him. But Maxie's

1075
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 3: field goal percentages down, three point percentages down. I mean,

1076
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 3: he's scoring a little bit more because he's taken more shots,

1077
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 3: but Kobe White's percentages, all of them are up. He's

1078
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 3: scoring ten points more per game this season, and he

1079
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 3: looks like a real player now rather than maybe a

1080
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 3: bench guard. So to me, he is the most improved guy.

1081
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 3: Maxi a little bit of an Embiid merchant, but I

1082
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 3: love Maxi as well, so I don't really want to

1083
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 3: diss him too hard here. But I think Kobe White

1084
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 3: would have won this award in twenty fourteen.

1085
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: You oh, back in the day, Yeah, back when.

1086
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: The most improved player won rather than the best player

1087
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 3: who improved as well.

1088
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: True, Maxi has seen his odds get considerably worse over

1089
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. You know, he was again,

1090
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: he's down to minus one forty five. It was like

1091
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: minus five to fifty, so he was really the favorite.

1092
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: He missed four seven games in March because of the concussion.

1093
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: Sixers have stumbled in the standings. His numbers are great,

1094
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: twenty six, six and four. He never turns the ball

1095
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: over for a lead guard. But Kobe White is up

1096
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: to like basically averaging twenty five and four, hitting thirty

1097
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: nine percent of his his three pointers. Those are all

1098
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: career best. And Trey, like you said, it's like he's proven,

1099
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: he's shown. He's like, oh, this guy is a this

1100
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: guy's an NBA starter. When we were wondering how long

1101
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: is this guy gonna be around the league? Like okay,

1102
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: he's like he's okay, but he's put it together. Tassen,

1103
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a close vote. I think just

1104
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: this year maxium one.

1105
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially because it is two different types of way

1106
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: of looking at a most improved player, with MAXI going

1107
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: to the All Star Game for the first time and

1108
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 2: Kobe White being younger at year number five. Though I

1109
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: think year five is acceptable. I mean, you just made

1110
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: Trey made me go back into those years where they

1111
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: were giving it to guys who looked a little more

1112
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 2: most improved. Aaron Brooks, remember him, He won this thing

1113
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: in his in his third year when he scored nineteen

1114
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: and a half points. But he came back to Earth,

1115
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: not a nice earth, I guess for him the rest

1116
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 2: of his career. I mean really, he scored nineteen a

1117
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: half points that year. There wasn't another year where he

1118
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 2: scored twelve or more in his fairly long career, eleven

1119
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 2: year career. So Kobe White, I do think, is different

1120
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: than Aaron Brooks. He's going to be good for a

1121
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 2: long time in this league, so it is different. It's

1122
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 2: two different types of thinking. And Jonathan Kuminga also fits

1123
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 2: this different type of thinking. He is younger, earlier in

1124
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 2: his career, but it has gotten a lot better, and

1125
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 2: so he's gonna get some votes.

1126
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: He'll get on some ballots for sure. Yea next one

1127
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: coach of the year. Here are your front runners according

1128
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: to the odds makers OKCS Deagnault, all right, he is

1129
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: your favorite minus three hundred. You got the Celtics Joe

1130
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: Missoula at plus four fifty, and then the Timberwolves Finch

1131
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: at plus five hundred. Bloody good coach that Finch. Okay,

1132
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: And maybe there's another coach that you want in the

1133
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: mix here, but this one is I don't think wrapped

1134
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: up by any means. But maybe I'm wrong. You think

1135
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: dag Nalt's gonna win for okay? See probably?

1136
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I would say probably just because Thunder expectations were

1137
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 3: pretty high this season. But I think they've still exceeded

1138
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 3: those expectations. Obviously younger, and they're dealing with a new

1139
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 3: piece and chat Holmngring coming in as a starter as

1140
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 3: a five, buying into it and looking awesome. Whereas the

1141
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: Celtics also, I think Joe Mizula has a really good case.

1142
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: But we expected the Celtics to be good. Everybody expected

1143
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 3: them to finish first in the Eastern Conference. They've got

1144
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 3: great continuity, though things have changed for them as well,

1145
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 3: bringing in Drew Holiday, bringing in Christaps Porzingis, who has

1146
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 3: been in and out of the line off this season.

1147
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 3: But I think that the Thunder being expected to be

1148
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 3: a little worse than the Celtics probably puts Mark Dagnaut

1149
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 3: all over the top.

1150
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. The surprise is always predominant when you're

1151
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 2: looking at coach of the year it can, but I

1152
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 2: mean those help.

1153
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: We keep saying surprise with okay, see, but there was

1154
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot of talk coming into the season about them

1155
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: being really good, not this.

1156
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: Not close to this number one seed for a lot

1157
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: see a.

1158
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: Lot of chatter about them being like a top four

1159
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: team in the West, which of course they are.

1160
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,879
Speaker 2: Play the tape. I want to hear that. I don't

1161
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 2: remember them being this good in the chats at all.

1162
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 2: But anyway, Dagnel has been very, very good. Can't wait

1163
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 2: to see him in his first real postseason. That's going

1164
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 2: to be interesting for them. Uh. But yeah, we just

1165
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: talked about most improved player and Jay Dubb being a

1166
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: part of that. They they've helped Dagnall obviously, but this

1167
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 2: team plays on both ends. So I do think he'll

1168
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 2: he'll win it over on Missoula. Who's he's done well,

1169
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. When he's been given the keys to

1170
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: this team that Udoka wasn't allowed to coach anymore, people wondered,

1171
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 2: can can this guy do it? And the thing is,

1172
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna win it just because of it.

1173
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 2: The team was so freaking good right before he got

1174
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 2: the keys. But they gave him the job. Brad Stevens

1175
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 2: gave him the job because he knew his team was

1176
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 2: gonna believe in him, and they obviously have.

1177
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: I will just say I don't think the odds difference

1178
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: between Dagnall with okay See and Finch with the Wolves

1179
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: should be that vast right, because last year Minnesota was

1180
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: forty two and forty okay See was forty and forty two.

1181
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: They basically had the same record. They played in a

1182
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: playing game to get the final spot and the Wolves

1183
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: crushed them. So they went in and they you know,

1184
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: put up a decent fight against the Nuggets, but they

1185
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: only won one game in that playoff series, so they

1186
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: won a handful more games. Like, the expectations were fairly similar,

1187
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: and we were coming in with I mean, at least

1188
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: I was with a lot of questions about the Wolves

1189
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: with the makeup of their team is finished the right guy?

1190
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: Can can he make this work? And you know they

1191
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 1: have an identity of course that they found that they're

1192
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: the best defense, So I think he deserves them credit.

1193
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: I just think he should be maybe a little higher.

1194
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: And they're still battling for the number one seed and

1195
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: if they actually get it, you know, without Karl Anthony

1196
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: Towns there over the final stretch, they'd be pretty impressive.

1197
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: So I just think the odds are a little odd.

1198
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: I think Dagnell will win and it will be a

1199
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: great winner, and then the final one. You know, it's great.

1200
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: We almost started the show with this and we're ending

1201
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: with it. Clutch Player of the Year. I think the

1202
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: odds flipped last night because when I was making this

1203
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: our show and this block last night, I saw Steph

1204
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Curry as the favorite. But as of this morning, Derozen

1205
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: now minus one sixty five, Curry plus one seventy, and

1206
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard plus eighteen hundred. I think Sga and Jokic,

1207
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, have some some long odds as well. But

1208
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: did DeRozan win it last night with that fato a

1209
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: jumper and big overtime performance. You bring up the clutch

1210
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 1: wins for the Bulls. He's a huge part of it. It

1211
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: feels like every game is because of him.

1212
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Curry did nothing in the clutch last night

1213
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: for the war. Yeah, Well, DeRozan is second in clutch

1214
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 3: points per game and in total points, Curry is number one.

1215
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 3: DeRozan shoots fifty two percent in the clutch, Curry shoots

1216
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 3: forty nine percent. But the big difference is that DeRozan

1217
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 3: is a plus seventy six in one hundred and sixty

1218
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 3: six clutch minutes this season, Steph Curry plus three in

1219
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty two minutes. So I mean DeRozan

1220
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 3: is being helped by the Bulls have a really solid

1221
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 3: defense in clutch time. But his just like Malik Monk,

1222
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 3: his points are more important for the Bulls right now

1223
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 3: because they're actually coming out on top of a lot

1224
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: of these games.

1225
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking at the voting from last season

1226
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 2: and Darren Fock beat Jimmy Butler and Demarto Rosen who

1227
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 2: was third, who two years ago was the guy that

1228
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 2: people were looking at as the spectacle, the guy who

1229
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 2: hit those back to back winners on New Year's Eve

1230
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 2: and then New Year's Day. It was awesome. So maybe

1231
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: he wins just because, you know, give him an award.

1232
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh he almost got.

1233
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: This is like a Robert Downey Junior award here for him.

1234
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 1: Respect the respect here. He's been very good this year.

1235
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 1: But we're also taking into consideration your previous year's work.

1236
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think it's still up in the air, like,

1237
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: of course, Steph Curry isn't there going to come back here?

1238
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 1: Could he have a couple huge you know, clutch performances

1239
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: still left in his bag and some game winners. Yes,

1240
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's Steph. So I think this one's still

1241
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a toss up. But DeRozan makes sense

1242
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: to be in the lead right now and over the

1243
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: last over the last couple of years, DeRozan is on

1244
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: the short list every year for this because he just

1245
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: takes over gets to a spot. He's money up the

1246
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: line when he gets there generally, So yeah, DeRozan is

1247
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: your favorite right now for Clutch Player of the Year,

1248
00:57:58,680 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: but that'd be fun to look at.

1249
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 2: And overall just total points, he his second in clutch

1250
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: game points just to Steph Furry and then yeah, third

1251
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 2: is way back with Damian Lillard. So thanks to John

1252
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 2: Schuman for putting that together. Because I'm on NBA dot Com.

1253
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: That's where it all happened, and that's where dearon Fox

1254
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 2: was awesome last year. Fourth quarter Fox one hundred and

1255
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: ninety four clutch points last year, and that's why he

1256
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: won the thing.

1257
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to tweet of the.

1258
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,800

Speaker 1: a children's book, and there it is. Tatum wrote, I

1262
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: Guess along with a man named Sam Apple Baby dunks

1263
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot. So this book is coming out in August.

1264

Speaker 1: together all the time, So this is something I've loved

1268
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: working on and it just reminded me. Man, there's a

1269
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: lot of NBA players that have written children's books. He

1270
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: joins a long list. Steph Curry has at least two

1271
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: books that he's written or helped write I Am Extraordinary

1272
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,959
Speaker 1: and I Have a Superpower or Curry's books. Chris Paul

1273
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: I believe, also has two children's books, Long Shot and

1274
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: Basketball Dreams. I Think Lebron has a picture book called

1275
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: I Promise. Amari Stodamier's dabbled in the children's literature, as

1276
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: is run Our Test, as is Carmelo Anthony and Dennis

1277
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: Rodman has a book called Dennis the Wild Bull. Which

1278
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: have you guys read any of these books, either yourself

1279
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: or two your kids.

1280
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 3: The only basketball kid's book I remember having, I think

1281
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 3: was called B is for Baller. All the ones like,

1282
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 3: I've definitely done that one, and then I have read

1283
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 3: My Kids Dennis Rodman as bad as I want to do.

1284
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 3: Read It's an interesting picture book, especially the back cover.

1285
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Have you read any of these?

1286
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 2: I've got to sam an over on these ones. Not no,

1287
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 2: not not a one. It wasn't really on my bookshelf

1288
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 2: to read these. But yeah, I think I think they're

1289
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 2: all something that they should all do.

1290
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, it sounds like there's money in

1291
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 1: this for first off, so you know a lot baby

1292
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: dunks a lot. But we should write a children's book,

1293
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: something to do with the wedgie. I mean, it just

1294
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: feels it sounds like like a children's book, right, or

1295
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,120

Speaker 1: start writing that later today.

1297
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 3: Okay. I actually liked the idea that the only other

1298
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 3: idea I ever had for a kid's book would be

1299
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 3: called There's a Rumble in My Tumble and the second

1300
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 3: line is there's a two in my boot. It's it's

1301
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 3: all about farty.

1334
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 2: shouldn't gamble, but listen to this. He didn't really say that,

1335
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 2: but he kind of said that. Anyway, listen to these

1336
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 2: potential lines. It's all about Ben Simmons. Will Ben Simmons

1337
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: retire before the start of the season. You can gamble

1338
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 2: on that. Will Ben Simmons played game one of next season?

1339
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 2: Just period? Will Ben Simmons beyond the Nets roster next season?

1340
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 2: You can gamble on anything.

1341
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Don't gamble not on Ben Simmons.

1342
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 3: Well you say no, You could say no.

1343
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: That's probably the smarter bet brace of the day. People
