0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Not come home, Come, come home. Come on this episode

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>of The Heat check Man.

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Just when you think things can't get worse for the

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles Lakers, it does. It just continues to get

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>more dysfunctional, more strange, more unacceptable, unacceptable moves. Chaos is

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>now fully engorged the Purple and Gold, and I have

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 2>to say, I feel a little bad. I feel a

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.639
<v Speaker 2>little bad for them.

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>So we get into that.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna dig all the way into what I feel

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>is happening there. We talk a little bit about Kyle Kuzma,

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 2>former Laker by the way they could use them six',

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>ten how he's kind of developed into a legit player

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>now in The Wizard's. Land and we also update you

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 2>on what we talked about, before which Is James wiseman

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 2>and why the fuck isn't he back on the floor.

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Yet let's drop that beat, Perfect.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Man every failing leader needs a, scapegoat.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you're really, failing you probably need a fail,

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>safe a scapegoat.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>In case that first scapegoat doesn't.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Work that's the that's like literally like a you, know

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>crash this, glass pull the lever in case of.

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Emergency that's where we're. At right, now and nobody's really

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>That they're mostly talking about the, scapegoats right because that's what.

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Is designed to, be.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.160

<v Speaker 1>Unqualified we've talked about this many times and somehow.

0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Consistently employed based around what we know is his time

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>With Kobe, bryant and he just keeps going back to the,

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>hits hiring his friends.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.239

<v Speaker 2>Even plugged, in which we'll talk about a little later

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>in this, segment which Is Charles, barkley When chuck is, like,

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>YO i think people are being, scapegoated he's using the word.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Scapegoat you're Being you have now stooped to a level

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>of transparency of your little move making that is now

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>beyond the.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Pale so let's just say.

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 2>This Russell westbrook And Frank vogel are currently The lakers,

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>scapegoats and they. Are let's just make it. Plain they

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>are not the reason that The lakers. Suck let me rephrase,

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that they are not the only reason that The lakers.

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Suck they're not even the major reasons that The lakers.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Suck but they are who we're talking.

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>About they are the, Escapegoats so let's dig.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>In this season has been largely the drama has largely

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>been localized to a couple of. Teams you've Got Ben,

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 2>simmons what's happening with. Him that's the big, lead that's

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the one story everyone wants to discuss all the. Time

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>but not too far behind that is The Los Angeles.

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Lakers we haven't checked in on them in a.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Bit so here's the. Latest let's say a lot's been going.

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>On russ is now currently being benched in late game.

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Situations, yeah and it's been apparently coming for. Weeks for,

0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Weeks you've been debating this for. Weeks vogel's, butt as

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 2>per we thought might, happen is now in the not

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>just speculation that it's on the hot, seat we are

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>actually seeing headlines that it's on the hot, seat that

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 2>he is potentially got a very short, rope and that

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that kept him from being fired was

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>a decent win against The.

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Jazz if he would have ended up, losing and that

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>team would have ended up losing against.

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>The, Jazz Apparently vogel was going to be, fired Which

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>i'm not sure IF i actually think is.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>True and Now braun.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Is testing as fuck because he has has to explain

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>what's going on with the, roster what's going on with

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>these late game, benches and how he's got to dig

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>into the mind of his.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Teammate he doesn't even know exactly what he's.

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Feeling that teammate's taken off in the middle of after

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 2>the games and it doesn't even take a. Shower he

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Goes Klay thompson literally drives out in his. UNIFORM i,

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 2>mean and let's be, honest, like we know How Russell westbrook.

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 1>Feels we don't need to ask he doesn't feel. Good

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 1>we know.

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>That we know that if you have been AN mvp

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in this league and you make forty six million dollars

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a year and you've been a starter this entire time

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>for twelve years or whatever it, is thirteen, years and

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>then you get in crunch, time sit your ass. Down

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 2>you're no longer contributing to a winning basketball. Team and

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>then the head coach, says BECAUSE i am putting the

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>players on the floor THAT i think is gonna win.

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>The, game and that's not. Him how el WHAT i,

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>mean do we need to ask really how he? Feels

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not.

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Good but more importantly than all of this is that

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>The lakers just continue to. Lose they are five hundred,

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>team but losing isn't really an issue when you're The Detroit, pistons,

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Right we're not expecting them to do. Shit they've never

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>told us they were gonna do, shit, Right they're not, saying,

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>hey we got Kid now.

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>We're a, contender you, know which would be a.

0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Lie, uh it's losing when you've given a expectations and

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 2>you've set the expectations for, winning for, contending for not just,

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>contending but for winning at.

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>All, right that's what we were.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Promised we were promised that this move would take this

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>team over the, top back to at least some situation

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>where they could. Contend so when you lose and you've

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>told us you were gonna, contend we've got. Questions, hey

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 2>this is not exactly working how you told us it would.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Work please tell us how you plan to fix. It

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>please tell us diagnose why it's not working how you

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>promised us it would.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Work that's Why Penny hardaway.

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>His ass is like getting a lot of questions right

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>now because he's got the top recruiting.

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Class he's not.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Winning they promised us, wins and when we were promised, wins,

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>boy and we don't get.

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Them we got some.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Questions we knew already Everyone joshmo sitting on the couch

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Knew russ was a ball dominant player who would probably

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>have trouble integrating With braun And Ad but they, said,

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>no we know more than you give us. Time this is,

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>how this is how we're getting to the. Top we

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>promise you it'll be different than you think in your.

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Mind we've got.

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>This we Knew.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Anthony davis was, Soft we Knew Anthony davis.

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Was, gimpy and they were, like, no, No we've Got

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Kobe bryant's trainer like shea took him to the like

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>promised land up until the time he was basically. Dust

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>he was at eighty one, points and we knew that

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>this team needed an emotional leader Like Alex crusoe and

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>losing him was a. Problem we knew this team was

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>filled with veterans that we're probably not gonna do shit

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and made like the.

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Minimum we knew these, things but they promised us we were.

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Wrong they told.

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Us they guessled us into being. Wrong so now we're

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 2>checking in, Constantly, hey, hey, hey what's. Up and so

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>now the folks in charge when the mob comes, out they're,

0:08:59.240 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 2>like what do we?

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Do we gotta figure out a way to place the.

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Blame somewhere so that then if we get rid of those,

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>people or we bench those, people or make a change

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>to those, scapegoats Then i'll buy us some.

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Time there's no, move there is no move.

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Happening let me just be very very. Clear this isn't

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 2>there's no. Endgame there's no winning endgame to. This it's

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 2>literally just to buy time from the mob entering the

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>gate and like legitimately burning the place, down like they're

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>just trying to put up barriers to swash the.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Mob that's what it. Is the First Russell westbrook bench,

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>him that'll buy a at least a month or two at. Least,

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>right he's by all.

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Metrics been playing pretty, bad but like he's been doing

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>what he's. Told when he played With Anthony davis And Lebron,

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>james which they've only played seventeen games together on the,

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>floor if you can imagine. It they've never played more

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>than three games in a row together this, season which

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 2>is kind of wild when you think about.

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>It took a long time to find that stat by the, way.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>So they've not had much time to gel together and

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>make it. Work, Right and when the eighty, Plays Russell westbrook's.

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Averaging twenty eight points a, game like playing.

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Very, well he doesn't look himself, Though let's be, Honest

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.439
<v Speaker 2>like you look at the the highlights or the low,

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>lights and it looks like it looks like have.

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>You ever seen Ant?

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Man and Ant man goes, inside he gets a little very,

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.719
<v Speaker 2>small and then he goes inside of a yellow jacket the,

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>villain and he screws with his wiring and he just

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>short circuits his arms do weird. Things his head goes one.

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Way That's russ underneath the basket right. Now russ literally

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 2>is having a seizure. Underneath shout out To. Russ he's figuring.

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Away his body controls all.

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Gone it's literally like the Ant man is inside of his,

0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>body which is a machine and is messed up with

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 2>the way that it.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Functions because it looks real bad right, now he can't

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>shoot a jumper that hits the.

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Rim they all hit the top corner of the, backboard

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 2>like you've seen so many shots where you're, like this

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 2>is not even the realm.

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Of like possibilities That i've seen With. Russ but like

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gotta figure it.

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Out there's probably something wrong with him, physically like when

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 2>he played on a torn quad and he didn't tell

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 2>anyone for The, wizards something will.

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Come out because he doesn't look right, right and we know.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>That.

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>But like to bench.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Him in crunch time and lose, anyway like you emasculated

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>him and humiliated him on a scale.

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>That is probably irreparable.

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>To the point where now he can just, chill, like

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 2>fuck this. Team i've done everything you've. ASKED i didn't

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.839
<v Speaker 2>tell YOU i would fit like you trade it for,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 2>me And i'm doing EVERYTHING i can to try to

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>make this. Work but like everybody knew it wasn't gonna

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 2>make it. Work and so to like do this To,

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 2>russ to Scapegoat russ into being the number, one the

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 2>only problem is very. Wrong like that's just plain, immoral,

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Right like it's.

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 5>JUST i can't find the words to describe how wrong

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.319
<v Speaker 5>it is to like trade for a, guy let him

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 5>go back, home play With Lebron james And Anthony.

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Davis none of them are healthy Butt.

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Russ we don't even know If russ is, healthy but

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 2>like he's the only one that's been available, consistently and

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>let and let him be the rat in the scurrying

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 2>shit that you, squash.

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Who's literally the only thing.

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>That's been holding you up while your two stars haven't been, healthy.

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>But like that's. Wild and then now.

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 2>The second Scapegoat Frank, vogel who is apparently on a

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 2>serious hot, seat because, again if it's Not russ and

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you bench him and you still, lose who's the next level?

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Up well maybe we can Fire vogel and then you

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 2>get an interim, coach so you basically get the entire

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>rest of the season to do nothing and be, like,

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>well we got this interim, coach we're integrating. Him we

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>gotta figure out who our next big get, Is like

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>is it Tylu like maybe we reunite. Them promise listen

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 2>to mark my, words It's january twenty, second twenty first

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>if this, happens and just read the headlines from now,

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 2>On like after, that it's.

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Like who will it be coaching?

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 2>Search distract the mob with new information and they will

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 2>lose the, thread which is that this team fucking. Sucks

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna suck no matter. What the problem Isn't russ,

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 2>is the problem Isn't. VOGEL i mean they're not, great.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>But like that's not the.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Problem the problem is the other two aren't even around,

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>fully like eighty haven't seen him in. Months fully The Big,

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 2>three LIKE i, said played seventeen games. Together they played

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 2>when they played, together they're ten and. Seven that's sixty

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 2>percent winning. Percentage that is a better winning percentage they

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 2>had last. Year they've never played more than three games.

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Together they've had no chance to form some jelling or.

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Continuity LIKE i, Said russ was averaging twenty eight and

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>eight since he went down seventeen eight and. Seven so

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>we don't know how good this team's gonna. Be we

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>know it's not a, contender but we don't know if

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like a six' five.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Four seed we have. No IDEA do i think.

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>This is a?

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 1>CHAMPIONSHIP squad i mean. Absolutely not everyone knows that it's

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>not a.

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Championship squad but if you're going to try in, the

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>middle we'll call this like this is, the, Winter right

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 2>like we're almost a spring where you start to figure

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 2>out what plants you put into, the, Ground right and

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 2>what they're trying to do is pull the plants out

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 2>of the ground and rip the seeds out before they,

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>they mature so that you don't don't even know what, you,

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 2>have right and then they're gonna try to putting new

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.000
<v Speaker 2>seeds in and tell you have to wait until next

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>spring to figure out what you what. You have, i'm

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>sorry you can't change horses in the middle of.

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>The stream you have to reap what. You sow you

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>have to sit in your shit if that's what.

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>You've made you can't try to distract us, with escapegoats

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>try to putting new seeds in and try to like tweak.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Our minds not we don't even know what's what what

0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the real, problems are because there's, new problems there's. Whole,

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>problems right you need to have this entire squad spend

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the entire year together, fully healthy and then we hold you,

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.880

<v Speaker 1>All together see what.

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>It is let these three men who HAVE been mvp

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>caliber players, gel together make it work or not before

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>we can fully assess.

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Anything else is just.

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.320

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 2>most dunking player on A very. Non dunking wizard's team so.

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Me i would say and then he celebrated After. Color

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 2>ME tickled coos kuz i didn't know you, Had. It

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>in you coos there was, a reason for it turns

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Out goes back. To kuzma's rookie year he explained the details,

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 2>In his postgame presser let's.

0:25:47.200 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>LISTEN my rookie year i tried to dunk on him

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 1>and it, didn't go.

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 2>So well. And uh you know he came UP to

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 2>me after, i told him that but HE told me if,

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>i did it again he'll punch. Me in the face so,

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>hold him, for, Sure, he said nah no joellenb definitely

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 2>told him he would punch him in the face if

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 2>he tried. A DUNK on him and I keep waiting

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 2>for kus to flip the switch and be, this like

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 2>elite scorer But that would require kus, to BE consistently aggressive.

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And i just don't.

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Kuss a sweet boy he doesn't seem like an aggressive

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>guy to me on. Or off the floor, but this

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 2>hammer dunk this. Gave me some hope and he. IS

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:33.120

<v Speaker 2>no you can't like just get your eight rebounds and

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you're like thirteen points and like your one, assist or,

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 2>two assists like no like he is that even though

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.919
<v Speaker 2>he's a little bit of a, Chucklehead, like he is

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 2>actually who wouldn't want a six to ten guy who's putting,

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 2>up twenty four twelve one and. THREE and a half

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>i don't know a team that can't use a guy

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 2>like that a perimeter score on the, wing at six

0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 2>ten he's damn.

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Near seven feet tall he is.

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe one of the more underrated role players that could.

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Be plugged and played That's Probably one of tommy shepherd's

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:43.800

<v Speaker 2>Is what he said warriors are gonna be a frustrating

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Five hundred. Team until draymond returns but the real story

<v Speaker 2>setback suck and that's. Out of his control but what

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 2>is in the team's control is the amount of bigs they.

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.040

<v Speaker 3>See.

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:35.120
<v Speaker 4>That doesn't, LOOK good well yeah, i mean you know

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 4>we haven't had a practice now. In about a week

0:32:38.680 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 4>we won't have a practice this week because we've got

0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 4>a game tomorrow and a day. Off THE following DAY

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 4>so i wish i. Had SOMETHING to report and i

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 4>know this whole process, has been You know frustrating, for

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 4>james above all but also for you guys because, you're

0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 4>looking for, answers and for, Me because you know i've

0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 4>told YOU three different times i thought he was going

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 4>to have, contact the next week and then each time,

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 4>it was pushed back and so this has just not

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:14.360
<v Speaker 4>been an easy, one to figure out and so we're still,

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 4>hopeful that you know he's going to be, cleared for

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 4>contact soon but there hasn't been an opportunity for that.

0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 4>To happen this.

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 7>Week see, Just, to follow upon james it's you you

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 7>mentioned it's a hard, one to figure out but it's

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 7>also a, matter OF practice time right i mean, you

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 7>made that point and there isn't a lot of. Practice

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 7>time right now it's not as if he's had some

0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 7>kind of. A setback or something i.

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 4>Want to MAKE sure the point i was making is

0:33:43.400 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 4>that over the, Over the last month i'm well aware

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 4>that you guys have Asked and, several, times i've said

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 4>yeah we're hoping that he's going to, have contact next

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 4>week and then he didn't for, one reason or another and,

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 4>he had you know, swelling in his knee and then

0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 4>he had the procedure to flush the the swelling out

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 4>and Then you know there so there's just been sort,

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 4>of this you know extended time where he's been out

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 4>that's been again. Most frustrating for him so it's you

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:18.080
<v Speaker 4>know that. The beat goes on we're still very hopeful

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 4>that this is, all going to happen that he's going to,

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 4>be out, there soon, you know in, contexts circumstances And

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 4>practice and but, I'm at this point, i'm also You

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:34.800
<v Speaker 4>know aware of i'm the boy who cried. Wolf A

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:37.560
<v Speaker 4>little bit so i, just when, it happens it happens and.

0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 1>We'll let, You know oh. Yep oh my God.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Guess what the warriors might be in trouble if dre

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 2>is out for. Any length of time this team is

0:34:49.040 --> 0:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Four and seven without draymond and twenty eight and.

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Six when he plays so if his lower back.

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Issues, become a real thing which apparently disc problems can,

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 2>be a massive deal and they keep them out, for an,

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 2>extended problem, Extended period, excuse me oh boy they cannot

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 2>afford to be patient.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 1>With wise men anymore and.

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:14.080

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 2>guy bob myers, at the trade deadline you, have to

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:18.759

<v Speaker 1>We need to be swinging for someone.

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Like, a surge, AT baka or yeah i, know it's

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:27.560
