65
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,720

00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: on my chest? Something is sticking out here? I reached in.

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: It was that exact same pack of cards that Lee had.

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: I was like, what's going on here? Did you pull

70
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: some kind of David Blaine magic chick? You learned that

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: from a madster class? How to slip a deck of

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: cards into somebody's chest pocket?

73
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,720

00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: Hey try chick onto your hat.

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Oh it's like a Larry Bird rookie card. Yeah,

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: speaking of just cards here too, let's stick with I

Speaker 4: task doing a great job with those mini recap podcasts.

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: We hit the beach yesterday. Some fun questions so actually

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 4: like legit good NBA questions too. We debated whether you'd

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: rather start a franchise with Ben Simmons or Donovan Mitchell

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: got into that. We talked about whether Jalen Brown's rise

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: does that help or hurt Jason Tatum's chances of ever

89
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: winning MVP. And then Lee had a great story near

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: the end of it, one that I still I don't

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: think I had ever heard, but Lee telling the story

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: about Roxy turning into Steve Jobs and creating an app

Speaker 4: back in Toronto. She was on the front page of

94

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960

Speaker 4: out no dunks dot com. Okay, yeah, I mean you're

102
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: not wrong. There's so many games on last night, some

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: close ones, some great storylines. It's can be difficult. You know,

104
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 4: don't play the violin for us by any means, but

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: it can be difficult to sort of keep track of everything.

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 4: So I thought today, with all those games on, we'd

107
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: play a little what you got on What's It good?

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: You know, the beauty of what you got? You can

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 4: sort of jam a little bit more in to the

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 4: show without going maybe deep or along on every single

111
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 4: game because sometimes we do the big takeaways. But again,

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: great games. On last night, I picked three guys that

113
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw at you to ultimately ask you a question.

114
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: The Bulls tray Herby. They rallied from a twenty five

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: point second quarter deficit. It was not looking good for

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: a while. They came back biggest one of the season

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: now to beat the Pistons one o five, one oh two.

118
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: That's game one. The other game, I'm gonna throw yea

119
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: Damian Lillard scoring forty three points, including the go ahead

120
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 4: three point play not three pointer, three point play with

121
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: sixteen seconds left to lift the Blazers over The Pelicans

122
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: won twenty six one twenty four. I watched a lot

123
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: of that one. That was fun back and forth, and

124
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 4: then I'll give you this one, sobonus, big monster game

125
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: thirty six points, seventeen boards, ten assists as the Pacers

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: beat the Wolves one thirty four to one, twenty eight

127
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: in overtime. Uh India RaSE to ten point deficit in

128
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. More entertaining win from last night. Doubles

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: dab Blazers or the Pacers what you got, Come on skeatsy.

130
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: You see the hat.

131
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: Yep, the balls are back. Incredible comeback.

132
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: You know what I say?

133
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: First half leads they don't actually matter. What a duel though,

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 3: between all stars Zach Levine and Jeremy Grampa.

135
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Guys, I'm a.

136
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: Homer for the Bulls, but an unbiased analyst of the

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: other twenty nine teams. So even I gotta pay some

138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: respect to Damian Lillard doing it once again?

139
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me with this guy?

140
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: A night after viscerating the thunder, scoring or assisting on

142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: the last eighteen points in a win, he hit a

143
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: dagger three with fifty one seconds.

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Looked bored doing it.

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: He was just like, Okay, whatever, I guess I just

146
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: got to carry this team to a win again.

147
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Then last night.

148
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: Follows it up with forty three points, sixteen assists in

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter eleven points, four assists. He has scored

150
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: or assisted on the last fifteen points. Last night he

151
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: had the game winning and one, as you mentioned, with

152
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: about fifteen seconds left. This was an MVP performance again

153
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: from Lillard back to back nights. After the game, it

154
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: looked like he had just played the first quarter, just

155
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: like all right, I gotta go back to my guys

156
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: see him in the locker room. It's crazy, man.

157
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: The ability for Damian.

158
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: Lillard to just turn it on in the fourth quarter

159
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 3: feels like he's never gonna miss, feels like he's never

160
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: gonna make the wrong decision. It's only a matter of

161
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: time to me before he has one of those so

162
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: many points in so many seconds games. You know, Reggie

163
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: Miller eight points, nine seconds, t Mac thirteen points, thirty

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: three seconds. He had six points and eight seconds to

165
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: beat the balls a while about.

166
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: So, I mean, that could be it.

167
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: I guess maybe it's just the fact that it's happening

168
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: every single night with Lillard that we're not labeling these

169
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: but that's crazy stuff.

170
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: He feels.

171
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's making his MVP case right now.

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: People were saying, at worst, he's second in MVP on

173
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: the MVP list right now because the way that he

174
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: has carried the Blazers since Nurkicchen McCollum went out incredible stuff.

175
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: That's what six straight wins now for the Blazers. They're

176
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: looking good. They're still near the top of the Western Conference.

177
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: After losing, there's second and third best players bringing in

178
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of new guys over the offseason. Lillard

179
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: man like, is there anybody you would rather have the

180
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: ball in the fourth quarter right now? I mean, I

181
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: know we talk about Lebron as always money in the

182
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, and there's no doubt about that. Kevin Durant

183
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: can get a shot anytime. But Lillard right now, it's insane.

184
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's pretty special. Do you agree with Trece

185
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: Peck there? What a professional? This guy rag at a

186
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 4: bull's hat and a bull sweater and who knows, probably

187
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: a pip and rookie cart in his back pocket that

188
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: leads somehow magically made up here check your back pocket? Yeah,

189
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: check your shoe, oh head, bull socks. But still still

190
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: shows the respect for Demian Lillard and the Blaezers. And

191
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: again the question was more entertaining.

192
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, the most.

193
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: Entertaining victory, I should say, with three options there were you.

194
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is so hard to sort of look at

195
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: any other game and think that a performance is better

196
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 5: than a Damian little at fourth quarter because we've seen

197
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: it so many times. I've seen it so many times recently,

198
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 5: but I will never ever get sick of it because

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: he is just that cold, calculating killer out there on

200
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 5: the floor. You know, he knows that when he gets

201
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 5: the ball, he's got that range from wherever he can

202
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: go inside if he wants, But he doesn't really care

203
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 5: about who's defending him, how they're playing him. It's like

204
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 5: if he's got the ball in his hands, he backs

205
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: himself every single time, and he pretty much delivers. I mean,

206
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: I don't know what he's clutch. That's I mean, maybe

207
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: a human's in the stream team today he can tell us.

208
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: But it feels like you're good.

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 5: It feels like, honestly, like like do you remember him

210
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: missing more than you know, one shot in a row

211
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: sort of late in that sort of clutch time, which

212
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 5: is five point game with I don't know, three minutes

213
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: to go. I think it just feels like Trey said

214
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: that he always makes the right decision, whether he's going

215
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 5: inside and kicking it out to a guy, but he

216
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 5: comes back and knocks it in. And yeah, I mean

217
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: those are the two games again, especially the Bulls and

218
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: the Pistons. There the Bulls came back from a big deficit.

219
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 5: Zach Lavine was again instrumental for Chicago. But it's just

220
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's Lilid. It's he is. He's just

221
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 5: incredibly fun to watch.

222
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 6: I know.

223
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 5: Also that other game, actually the Pacers and the Timbles.

224
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: I watched that one this morning and I was like,

225
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 5: I probably won't be talking about this. That was actually

226
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 5: a really funny game. Anthony Edwards was so close to

227
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: his first game winn of the three that rattled out

228
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 5: right at the end there, and I really actually felt

229
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: bad for the Wolves this morning. They you know, they

230
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 5: deserve to win. If for such a thing like that,

231
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: it would have been so good for the rookie to

232
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: hit that big shot, but unfortunately they didn't and the

233
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: Prices came back. So Barnus was great. Malcolm Brugdon had

234
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: a dunk which shouldn't sound surprising but funny you see

235
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 5: him go up and throw it down a two HANDU.

236
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: I haven't seen that before too many times in his area.

237
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: So a lot of fun games, a lot of huge

238
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 5: comebacks last night. But yeah, if you give me one

239
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: player to watch one go out of watch right now,

240
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: I'm going with lil It every time.

241
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: Fair enough. Yeah, that's why this was a tough one.

242
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 4: The Bulls comeback was pretty special. Stacey King was on fire.

243
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 4: Tray I watched a good chunk of this comeback incredibly.

244
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: I was watching, you know, the first game on last

245
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: night was the Magic Nick, so I was sort of

246
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: focused on that, and then the Knicks just went ice

247
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: cold and it turned into a bit of a stinker.

248
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: So I'm like, oh, where to go next? I asked

249
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: it on Twitter and King of the fourth quarter Kenny Beacham,

250
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: he was like a Bulls fan obviously with you. Trey

251
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: was like, maybe avoid the Bulls game because at that

252
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: time they were down, Like come on, Kenny, come on, yeah,

253
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 4: Kenny watching. Yeah, you think the.

254
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: Bulls are going to lose to the Pistons on Michael

255
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: Jordan's birth, Oh wows ridiculous.

256
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a comeback. And yeah, you're right, Kobe White

257
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: had big shots. What's Stacy King calling Patrick Williams paw

258
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: the paw?

259
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Forget the claw, he's the paw. Incredible stuff.

260
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 6: You know.

261
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: They compare him to Kawhi Leonard a lot, which you know,

262
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: that's a little bit to put on a little bit

263
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: of Williams back, but Lebron said it too. Lebron said

264
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: he's got Kawhi type hands and when he saw him

265
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter last night. He was ripping the

266
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: ball out of out of the opponent's hands, looking like

267
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: a man amongst boys, despite the fact that he is

268
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: the youngest player in the league. Right now, I'm hyped

269
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: for this guy, no doubt about it. He had twelve

270
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. Zach Levine had fifteen in the

271
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: third quarter. Outscold scored the Pistons all by himself, clutch

272
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: coaching from Billy Donovan.

273
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

274
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: He sent all the young guys to the bench basically

275
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 3: to start the second half. Wendell Carter, Junior, Kobe White,

276
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: and who's there out the guy Patrick Williams actually all

277
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: went to the bench. He brought in Saturansky, Garrett Temple,

278
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: and Thaddeus Young, the veteran bench mob, and they just

279
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: started playing defense.

280
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was.

281
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: Zach Lavine really dug in. I thought he ripped Josh

282
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: Jackson at the top of the key and then started talking.

283
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: Shit to him. Are you kidding me? Zach Lavine is

284
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: talking trash about defense?

285
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 7: Now?

286
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: The game has changed.

287
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: After the game, apparently in the press conference, he said,

288
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: the only men I'm afraid of are God and my dad.

289
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: That's such a good lie Bars, are you kidding me?

290
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: That's the only man I'm afraid of.

291
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 4: I'm afraid of God and Dicky Ellis.

292
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: I am a little bit now after hearing the way

293
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 3: he's a bit of a temper boy, but I love

294
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: to see him on the court. Anyways, the mover it

295
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: really woke up the young guys. Once the Bulls got

296
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: the lead in the fourth quarter, they never gave it up.

297
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: Krobe White, like you're saying it Skeet's brutal game, but

298
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: he had a huge three with a minute left. He

299
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: hooked up Pat Williams in the corner for three on

300
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: the next possession. I'm throwing bows all over the place.

301
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: I'm interrupting Laura in the middle of her episode of Imposters. Laura,

302
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: three point game, Laura, the Bulls are action. I know, man,

303
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: I know the Bulls.

304
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: You keep saying to Big Beef, that's all you say.

305
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: That's all I say. Now, that's one hundred percent right.

306
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: But it was a good one last night. Hard work

307
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: pays off too, and ol since the car heart hack

308
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: came in the mail, Wow wow, what.

309
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: A come in and look Jeremy Grant for the Pistoons

310
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: was putting on a show too. I mean that guy

311
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: was looking like colored. It was unstoppable, and you know,

312
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: like unfortunate for him going for a career high.

313
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: What do you end up with in the n forty three.

314
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't believe too that Harvey Grant once scored

315
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 4: forty one points in a game.

316
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I know he was a bit.

317
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: Better at scoring the ball than Horus, but forty one

318
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: for Harvey back then, that was you know, forty back

319
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: then was like sixty in that game. So I couldn't

320
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: believe that. So he beat a beat pops there with

321
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: the forty three. That was great game, great comeback. And

322
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: just just to touch on Sabonis here a little bit,

323
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: because you're right, Lee Edwards had a chance but the

324
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: pacer pulled it out. We got a great Instagram comment. Uh,

325
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: you know, we do look at these every once in

326
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 4: a while. It was from Grant, Jordan and I and

327
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: I want to bring this up because we had just

328
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: been talking about, you know, Julius Randall had just gone

329
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: off for the forty four and like, who is he

330
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: taking like a Sabonis spot in the All Star Game

331
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: or you know, a vooch or you know, I threw

332
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: Gordon Hayward in the mix too. Maybe that's unlikely, but

333
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: Grant Jordan wanted to know basically, I'm just gonna paraphrase here,

334
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 4: why is there so much love for Bam out of

335
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: Bio but less so for Sabonis with what he's doing here?

336
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: And you know, he's pointing out that the Pacers, hey,

337
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: they're not you know, no Warren, you know, of course

338
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 4: all the Deepo gone, so they have no Lavert who

339
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: they get traded back in that deal. And he's just

340
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 4: balling out and he just can't figure it out, you know,

341
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: why Sabonis isn't a lock and that there does.

342
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: And anyway, I.

343
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 4: Liked it because it made me start thinking about Bam

344
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: out of Bio and Jimmy Butler and with the heat

345
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: crappy record and they pick up another last last night,

346
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, are these guys gonna be all stars?

347
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 6: Like like one of them bottles are definitely not well yeah,

348
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 6: but is Bam because like I'm much, I don't know.

349
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 6: It made me start thinking, I'm like a great point

350
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 6: from Grant Jordan, So Sibona's well timed, you know whatever.

351
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 6: Thirty seven, seven, thirty six, seven and ten, I mean

352
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 6: retaining with the coaches pecks coming up here, what do

353
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 6: you think?

354
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 5: Well, I think coming into the season, given that the

355
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 5: Heat made the finals last year, Bam was an All Star.

356
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 5: He took that big leap, they gave him the big contract.

357
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 5: I think we just expected a natural sort of progression

358
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 5: to just standing up to becoming even better. But he's

359
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: been out. You know, the Heat's record is pretty bad.

360
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 5: I think they're eleven and seventeen right now. They've dropped

361
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 5: the couple here, So I think he sort of just

362
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 5: came in with that, like, you know, yeah, this guy

363
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 5: is an All Star now he's proved it and we

364
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: expect him to perform and he's been fine when he's

365
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: been playing. Oh yeah, but.

366
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: Are they going to get are they going to have

367
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: an All Star representative?

368
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: I I don't think so it's only him, it's only him,

369
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 5: if anyone, because Jimmy just hasn't played nothing. Jimmy had

370
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 5: another I think he had a trouble triple w. You know,

371
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 5: we know Jimmy Butler is a quality player, but he's

372
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 5: missed so much time. So but I think as well

373
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: with Sabonis, the pace has started off so well and

374
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 5: then they had they had a patch as well, and

375
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: I mean things move so quickly in this In this game,

376
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 5: you know, you're an All Star one day and and

377
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 5: you're like that you're not even going to make the

378
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 5: playoffs the next. So but also Sabonis's game, you know,

379
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 5: you have to watch him to appreciate him. You're never

380
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 5: seeing House of Highlights with a ten pack of demand

381
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: to Sabonis highlights because he's just not that guy. He's

382
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 5: all dinkers and dumpers. You know, very smart passer, you know,

383
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 5: very good rebounder, but it's just not the sort of

384
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: stuff that catches on it. Again, and it's also for

385
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 5: the Indiana Pacers, so that's what he's battling against. Whereas

386
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 5: the Heat generally are a sexy team, their colors did

387
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 5: not look sexy in Oh, that was.

388
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 4: The worst looking game I think I've ever seen the

389
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 4: Auckland jerseys with did those stupid?

390
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: It looks horrible?

391
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was disgusting. So so yeah, but you know,

392
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 5: I think I think again that the Heat and Bam,

393
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: I mean Bam was brilliant in the playoffs last year,

394
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: in the finals, you know, so.

395
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: He has that sort of you know, it has nothing

396
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 4: to do with you l.

397
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't, but it just you're in the You're

398
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 5: in the conversation a little bit more than you are

399
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 5: with someone like Sabonas, who if I remember he didn't

400
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 5: even play in the Bubble, did he. I believe he

401
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: was out, so you know, we we didn't see him.

402
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 5: You know, he made the old Start team last year,

403
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 5: and even then a lot of people who were casuals

404
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 5: were like, so bonus, you know.

405
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: So yeah, I just think it was an interesting point

406
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: there from Grant and uh, well again great timing here

407
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: from Subonas to have this Monster game and we're gonna

408
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: make our all star picks on tomorrow's Drop podcast. We

409
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: find out the starters tonight on TNT. They usually do

410
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 4: that pregame, so that should happen before the uh the

411
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: Raptors Bucks game, so we'll know the ten starters and

412
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 4: then uh yeah, on tomorrow's Drop podcast will actually make

413
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: our selections. But I've sort of had just totally I guess,

414
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 4: forgotten about Bam and like maybe in my head had

415
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: him already penciled in. I don't know, I haven't actually

416
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: sat down and made my team yet, but I'm like, yeah,

417
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 4: I mean, he's not really more deserving than a lot

418
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 4: of these guys this year, right.

419
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm with you. He's penciled in right now.

420
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: I think a lot like Leah saying, because of the

421
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: Bubble performance and the fact that Bam has improved this year,

422
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 3: he's better than he was last season. He's still an

423
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: elite defensive player. The Heat just are really struggling as

424
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 3: a team for the entirety of the season. A lot

425
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: of that is because they haven't had their full squad together,

426
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 3: but it's not looking great. But I don't know, I

427
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: think that I think Zach Lavine has jumped both of

428
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: these guys in the conversation. He seems to be past

429
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: the debate stage. So it's going to be like maybe

430
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: somebody between Jeremy Grant, Bam Sabonis, Gordon Hayward is probably

431
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: in the mix. And maybe it honestly just comes down

432
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: to who's playing the best as we get closer, right,

433
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 3: Like we're talking about the timing of everything here with

434
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: Julius Randall playing it incredibly well this week and Demonta

435
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: Sabonis having a great game last night compared to Bam,

436
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: So maybe it is just a factor of who has

437
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: the greatest game on the night that coach happens to

438
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 3: be voting.

439
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's honestly possible with some of these guys, and

440
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 4: they must have to make their picks really soon. I

441
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 4: think the coaches like soon after the starters, because I'm

442
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: pretty sure the reserves are announced early next week.

443
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: It's well, I think it's next Thursday.

444
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't think it's even next Thursday.

445
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: I thought usually it was, like you know, it.

446
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: Usually is, but I remember reading the first press release

447
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: and I think I was taken aback by, like, oh,

448
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: that's like maybe Tuesday on TNT. You know how they're

449
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: doing those games. You can FactCheck that le maybe look

450
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 4: that up if you want. But anyway, it's a quick

451
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: turnaround for sure in terms of picking the reserves. Anyway,

452
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 4: great games. I'm ultimately going with the Blazers game as well.

453
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 4: That was just that was a back and forth. A

454
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: fair and only thing to add to that, like Zion

455
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: Williamson not touching the ball on the final couple of

456
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 4: possessions there, come on, like this guy was rolling again.

457
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: It's got to at least be in his hands to

458
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 4: make the decision. I didn't love that from Stanon A

459
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 4: little bit was the Blazers d and how they were

460
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 4: playing them, but net not great. Okay, wow, let's keep

461
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: it going next one. A couple wild card performances on

462
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: Wednesday Night two, in particular stood out the Wizards. Davis

463
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: Berton's set career highs with nine three pointers made and

464
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 4: thirty five points as Washington won their third straight game

465
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: with the victory over Denver and then the Warriors game,

466
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 4: that ugly looking game. Esthetically, Curry hit the go ahead

467
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: three and overtime. You know he's the headline, but it

468
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: was teammate Kent Bazemore who tipped in a key miss

469
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: with like one forty left in the extra frame to

470
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 4: help the Dubs to the overtime victory over the heat.

471
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: Bees finished with a season high twenty six points, and

472
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 4: he had not just that tip in. He had tmely

473
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 4: buckets down the stretch in the fourth quarner and a

474
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: couple more and overtime. So the question is here with

475
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 4: the watching guy who deserves the Holy crap, I forgot

476
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: about that guy performance of the Nate Award, more Burton's

477
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: or Bees, more Lee what you got?

478
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: I'm just wondering if the starters bump how long that

479
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 5: can potentially baseball there, but no, I have to go

480
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: with Davis Berton's for this one because I watch a

481
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: lot of this one as well. I'm waiting for the

482
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 5: Nuggets to have a really impressive win. And the first

483
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 5: quarter they were up twenty with like two seconds ago,

484
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: and then it was seventeen I think officially at the

485
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 5: end of the first quarter, and I thought, Okay, the

486
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 5: Nuggets are back here. You know, this is the win

487
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 5: they need against a team that's got a terrible defense.

488
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: And then they were down by six at halftime. It

489
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 5: was just incredible. But Davis Bertans, I've got his shot

490
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: chart here. He hit the nine of eleven threes last night.

491
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 5: Those were the only field goals he attempted, and some

492
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 5: of them were just so deep. I remember when he

493
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: was with the San Antonio Spurs and Greg Popovich said,

494
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 5: you know, Bertans has never ever turned down a shot

495
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: from three point range, And it was kind of funny

496
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: coming from Popovich because it's like, you know, when you're

497
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: in the Spurs system, you just sort of learned to

498
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: play the Spurs way, but.

499
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: He never really did.

500
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 5: And I wonder if that's why he, you know, isn't

501
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 5: on the Spurs roster anymore. But those ones last night

502
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 5: and I was watching again this morning, a lot of

503
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 5: them with like sixteen seconds on the shot club seven.

504
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: You know, if he gets the ball, he's just like.

505
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 5: There you go on firing away. And I've been critical

506
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 5: of him this season because they signed him to the

507
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: big contract and I was like, he doesn't do anything else.

508
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: But when he does what he did last night, thirty

509
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: five points off the bench, I mean it's incredible because

510
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 5: it's like there's no real defense for it. He's just

511
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 5: out there shooting. And the Wizards really needed all of

512
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 5: those points in the end. I mean, this was a

513
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 5: good game, but the fact that the Wizards got the

514
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 5: victory I think largely was to do with the fact

515
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 5: that Berton's I think you went eight for eight from

516
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: the free throw line. They found him on a three

517
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 5: to two right at the end of that game, and

518
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 5: then it was Bradley Beal who knocked in the two

519
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: free throws on the last possession. So I don't know

520
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 5: if you guys saw it or not, was Jamichael Green

521
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 5: The verticality was like on the first look, I was like, oh,

522
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: he's found He's hit him for sure. Yeah, the second look,

523
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 5: I mean he sort of drifts into him. Bill created

524
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 5: that like wildly.

525
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 4: You know what I think happened. I think because there

526
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: was so little time left, I think Green was thinking

527
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: Beal's going floater here, like one step out, one dribble more,

528
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: and he's like, oh, I'll challenge this because Beal's got

529
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: to go up. He's got to try and beat the buzzer.

530
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: And Bill like wisely instead like went one more, like

531
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 4: one more drive, like a little bit closer to the rim,

532
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: and then like had Michael sort of up in the

533
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: air and then he was like, well, now I can

534
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: create the contact in my opinion, problem.

535
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 5: With Yeah, and he crashed to the ground as well,

536
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 5: Like it was as well, but it was it was

537
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 5: closer than it looked at first for me anyway. But yeah,

538
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 5: Burton's just the incredible stuff last night. And I mean

539
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: it was a wild guy that one. Because the Nuggets

540
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 5: are desperate for a victory and it looked like that

541
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 5: we're gonna pull it off. The Jamal Murray hit a

542
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: big three too, but uh man, the Wizards are just

543
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 5: fought flying run. Now, maybe they'll have a couple of

544
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 5: old stars watch.

545
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 4: Back in the mix. The Wizards are like in the

546
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: playoff race though, so I guess don't count now treys

547
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: at burd times or bing's more for you for the

548
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 4: holy crap, I forgot about that guy. Performance of the night.

549
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: Kyp Skeets know your personnel. Lee's a shooter. I know

550
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: he was going with the shooter. I was more impressed

551
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: with Kent Bazemore ligging like little Draymond out there last night.

552
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: Steph Curry. Obviously he didn't have a great shooting night

553
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 3: on the night, but he's still Steph Curry. What did

554
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: Curry finished last night? Five for twenty from three. He

555
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: was even laughing that he's hold twenty three point attempts. Nonetheless,

556
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 3: the heat were still trapping him like crazy. But with

557
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: uh no Draymond out there, it was kind of left

558
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: to Kent Bazemore to be the playmaker. He had back

559
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: to back finishes at the rim to tie the game

560
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: underneath a minute. He had another nice pass that led

561
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: to a miss three from I think it was Kelly

562
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: Oubray right near the end of regulation, had that put

563
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 3: back in overtime, Like you're saying, he was even flexing

564
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: like Raymond greed after that great to see. I don't

565
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: think that Kent could have based any more than he

566
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: did last night. Crazy to see him on the Warriors

567
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: again after you know, he started his career there and

568
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: the first thing we ever learned about Kent Bazemore was

569
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: he's got so many moves with the towel. He contributed

570
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: big time last night, and that's a huge part of

571
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: the reason that the Warriors were able to pull off

572
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: that win.

573
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, it was fun to see that Baysmore have

574
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 4: a great game. He is a fan of ours. You know,

575
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: we had him on the show a couple times as

576
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 4: the starters. We liked him. I guess I got one

577
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: more little mini follow up what you got here? Who

578
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: needs more of a haircut or a makeover? Burtons or Sibonis?

579
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: What you got? I think they both could use one.

580
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Burton's needs to ditch the side part here.

581
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I know we just learned from RuPaul

582
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: that your good side has decided you part your hair.

583
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: But uh, that's not my favorite look.

584
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a fascinating look. I mean Simonas is just.

585
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: Looking like a while he's looking a little Lee ellis

586
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: like while somebody said that Sibonis has Lee's hair in

587
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: my game.

588
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.

589
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: That's an All star in my books for sure. I'm

590
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: putting them in my team tomorrow. All right, Next one here,

591
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 4: Trey Young had forty points eight assists. Atlanta snapped a

592
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 4: four game losing streak with the one to fourteen victory

593
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 4: over the Celtics, and then dwell Embiid had thirty one,

594
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 4: eleven and nine to help Philly beat the Rockets one eighteen,

595
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: one to thirteen. Seth Curry helping out to bays Harris

596
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: for the Eastern Conference leading seventy six Ers, who snapped

597
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: a three game losing streak. So both those teams, the

598
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: Hawks the Sixers, they snapped you know some you know,

599
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 4: the losing streaks. So who needed that win more last night?

600
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: Who feels better a little sireh relief? I guess more?

601
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 4: The Hawks or the Sixers. Trey, what you got?

602
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: Well, Philly definitely has hit a rough patch, having lost

603
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: three straight, but never left first place. You know, they're

604
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: still nineteen to ten. They beat the Rockets, who are

605
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: in super struggle mode right now. They've lost seven straight.

606
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: So for me, it's got to be the Hawks. They

607
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: had lost seven of eight. They were on the verge

608
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: of falling out of the play in tournament. They've really

609
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: been struggling since DeAndre Hunter went down. But they got

610
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: a real nice win against a legitimate playoff team last night,

611
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: and that's huge. The Hawks controlled the game for the

612
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: entire night, so they were a step ahead. I thought

613
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: the Celtics looked really scattershot on defense, and Trey Young

614
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: was just magnificent again forty points, sixteen and the fourth

615
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 3: he scored eleven straight.

616
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: At one point.

617
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: Hawks needed to win, and it's nice to get one

618
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 3: against the team that you're chasing in the standings. I mean,

619
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't think they're really gonna be catching the Boston Celtics,

620
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: but the Celtics are now just fourteen and fourteen. The

621
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 3: Hawks are only four games behind that. There's still a

622
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: lot to be decided in the Eastern Conference, so picking

623
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: up a w against the team like the Beantown Boys

624
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: good stuff for Atlanta.

625
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I missed Tommy Heinsen, no doubt rest in peace.

626
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 4: But Scalabrini is pretty fun on the Celtics call, specifically

627
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: last night, where Trey Jung was just carving their ass

628
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 4: uply and even Scalabrine's like, this guy's just completely dominating us,

629
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 4: Like there's no answer for him. He's just making the

630
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: rape play after rape play, either scoring or setting up guys.

631
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: And I think he's pretty good on the call, Scalabriny,

632
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 4: But what do you think who needed that one? More

633
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: of the sixers? Who? I mean, they keep doing this

634
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 4: thing where it's like, well, Bead's not there and Simmons

635
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 4: goes off or Simmons wasn't there last night and then

636
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: Bid goes off, like which one? Hawks are sexers for you?

637
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm also going with your Landhawks because they need

638
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 5: a win. They've got to get back to where they

639
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: were early on to this season where they looked like

640
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: they were a playoff lock team, and so a big

641
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 5: win against the Celtics, who just came off a big win.

642
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 5: They were on the second night of a back to back.

643
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: But you sort of think just the Celtics at home,

644
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: they're going to be tough. But Tray Young again causing

645
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 5: a little bit of controversy with some of his how

646
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: he gets those foul calls. You know that's going to

647
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 5: become a topic, and it seems to be whenever the

648
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 5: Hawks are playing well, and Trey Young's playing well. That

649
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: that's something that people point to. But listen, he got

650
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: there and he knows how to get those fouls, and

651
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 5: he gets a free throw alone and he knocks him in.

652
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 5: But in that fourth quarter, it was you know, like

653
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard where he was like, I want the ball,

654
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 5: I want to go and make these shots, and he

655
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 5: stepped into them. You know, he did what didn't back

656
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 5: away from any of them, And that's what you want

657
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: to see from your franchise player, the guy who just

658
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 5: is not afraid to step up into the moment and

659
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 5: knock it down. So this one, you know, it was

660
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 5: one of those games as well that sort of just

661
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 5: dragged on and on and on because the Celtics kept

662
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: it just close enough the Hawks couldn't put them away.

663
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 5: Eventually they did, but yeah, I definitely think the Hawks.

664
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: I think the Sixers, they had a big lead over

665
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: the Rockets, they seemed to take their foot off the

666
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 5: gas a little bit. John Wallen and Boogie were pretty

667
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: good for the Rockets getting them back into it. But

668
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: I think the Sixers that was more. They just built

669
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 5: that big lead and they were like, we can cruise

670
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 5: from here. It nearly blew it, but it didn't really

671
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: feel like the Rockets wherever, you know, sort of steal

672
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 5: that one.

673
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 4: Well, you had to watch the end of the Hawk

674
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: Celtics game, because Atlanta keeps blowing games this year. There's

675
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 4: so many bad fourth quarters that I was like, this

676
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 4: is far from over. When they had played really well,

677
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 4: like Trey Saidley sort of had dominated the Hall game

678
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 4: through three quarters. They were step ahead of the Celtics

679
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: looking great, and I'm like, they better win this game.

680
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 4: They can't have another one where like you've outplayed them

681
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: for like thirty six minutes and you just give it

682
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: away in the four. So I agree with you, guys.

683
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: I think it is the Hawks coming through there that

684
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: was special and Nate McMillan coaching them. Actually right now

685
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 4: because Lloyd Pierce flew back to Atlanta here for I

686
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 4: believe the birth of his second child. I think it's

687
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: a second kid, So sending our best to the Pierce family.

688
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna miss a couple of games. So

689
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: Nate McMillan, he's obviously coached how many games as he

690
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: probably coached in the NBA. Ton he coached a long time,

691
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: right for sure? Yeah, I would think so. So obviously

692
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 4: not new to the job, and he got the victory there.

693
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: Last night, final one here, we would not be doing

694
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 4: our job if we didn't. Let you know that. We

695
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 4: celebrated some No Dunk's moments during a very busy night

696
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: in the association. First up, the Blazers and Pelicans combined

697
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 4: to give us wedgie number twenty three on the season

698
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 4: in New Orleans. Here's our boy Blazers played by play

699
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 4: excuse me color color commentator Lamar heard on the call

700
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: in this early going canter. It's going to work once

701
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 4: more down in the block, don't and we.

702
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: Got a weggie.

703
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 8: None dunce, we got another weggie.

704
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: Weggies and jump balls this year.

705
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 4: It's gotta be a record.

706
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: We're approaching a record territory.

707
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: You know. They said that they were, I think ahead

708
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: of schedule.

709
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 5: I think the pace of weggies this season is above

710
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 5: anything that they have experienced so far. That's right, Lamar

711
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 5: knows good knowledge.

712
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, hold on, he's all over it. But also

713
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: last night, I get to set, I get to bring

714
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 4: this beef to the table. You usually do this on her,

715
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: but the league served up some tasty beef Rudy Gobert.

716
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: He was hungry versus the Clippers in the late game.

717
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: So let's roll that beautiful beef footage.

718
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: JD.

719
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 8: Rudy Gobert at twenty rebounds. That's a lot of roast beef.

720
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 8: Wee Wie Trey.

721
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 7: Stylish no dunks. We love roast beef, which is rebounds.

722
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: Okay, that's my favorite Big Beef edition. Yet those clips,

723
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 4: there was a lot of variety in there, but I'm

724
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: giving away my answer, I guess, But the question is

725
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 4: in what you got here? What was the better no

726
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: dunks moment? Was it Wedgie number twenty three with Lamar

727
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 4: Hurt on the call, or Rudy Gobert Big Beef Volume ten. Trey,

728
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: you go first. I love that Big Beef as well.

729
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: Ski.

730
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: It's some very funny rebounds. The ball spinning on the rim,

731
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 3: just waiting there is great. I had to put in

732
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: the longest rebound clip that we've used in any of this,

733
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: where the ball just flies in the air, they tip

734
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: it again, it rolls underneath the hoop. I don't know

735
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: exactly how many rebounds Rudy Gobert got for that one,

736
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: but hilarious. If I was worried it was gonna run

737
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: too long, wouldn't be able to switch it in there

738
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: with all of the beats. But just like I picked

739
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: the Blazers as the most entertaining game, I gotta say

740
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: the biggest No Dunks moment was that Weggie. An all

741
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: time great Weggie shout out from our guy Lamar Hurd.

742
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: He did everything except for give the weggietracker dot Com

743
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: durl address. This is incredible. We're up to what now,

744
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 3: sixty four is our pace?

745
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

746
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: On pace for sixty four wedgies, like he said, an

747
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: unheard of pace, unprecedented in league history. Fifty one is

748
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: the record we're talking about smashing. That we might have

749
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: twenty five by the All Star break. I think I

750
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: think it's very likely we have twenty five by the

751
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: All Star breaks. So great Beef, but I gotta give

752
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 3: some props to the og Aleggie.

753
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: Okay, wow, uh Lee, what you got? You know what

754
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: was better No Ducks moment? That Weggie or the big

755
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 4: Beef I.

756
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 5: Mean, Lama. I heard in the Blazers must be up

757
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 5: to five wedgies and don't think it's six six?

758
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 4: I think so yeah, Yeah, to go check the words

759
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 4: you track your dark corn for sure, but it's definitely five.

760
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 4: It might be sex.

761
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and lamar Heard has given us a shout out.

762
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 5: I would guess on all of those as well.

763
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 4: So, I mean, the Lama's.

764
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 5: Into it and he knows his stuff. That's what I

765
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 5: like about it. You know. The beef still is kind

766
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 5: of a new thing. Like how many beefs are we

767
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 5: going for? We don't have a beef tracker out there.

768
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: It's like we're still learning about the beef and the

769
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 5: other day's dissecting and cutting the beef. We're tasting the beef.

770
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 5: You were talking about the beef Enniscanta the other day

771
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 5: with flat footed rebounds, Well, we're Rudy on that one

772
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 5: that did spin around on the free throw. He actually

773
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 5: jumped for that one when there was nobody around it.

774
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 5: We couldn't have gone to anybody else, but he still jumped.

775
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 5: So Rudy's aware. He's like, I don't want any cheap rebounds.

776
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna jump. I'm gonna get every single one of

777
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 5: these ones. So yeah, it's incredible how many how many

778
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 5: beefs we're getting as well this season.

779
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 4: I mean, that's great. Wow, that's all I mean. Look,

780
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: you bring up a good point. Who's going to be

781
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 4: the first, either play by play guy or color commentator

782
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 4: to drop the big beef note on the broadcast when

783
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 4: somebody goes for twenty rebounds or like a big beef,

784
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: watch when somebody's not like fifteen sixteen rebounds, like Hula Bee.

785
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 4: I can't wait to find it.

786
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: It could be Lamar Hurt Cancer two beefs already. You

787
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 3: think he'll be in the mix at least probably have

788
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 3: a fifteen rebound game going into the fourth quarter at

789
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: some point.

790
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: Let's see it.

791
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 4: I would love I would love for it to be

792
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: Stacy King talking big beef. Right, I just well on

793
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 4: that big beef.

794
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kevin Holland would be great if he was aware

795
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 5: of it. He would, you know he would real good.

796
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 4: You want the national broadcast? Yeah, I want the bee. Okay,

797
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 4: it'll give you the big beef, big guy. I'm also

798
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: going with the weggie though. I tweeted this weggie number

799
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: twenty three on the season on Michael Jordan's birthday. Crazy

800
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: come on? And then you know it started to make

801
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: me think, did Michael Jordan ever have a wedgie?

802
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 5: Wow?

803
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 4: Right?

804
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Wow? Wow?

805
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: Now I saw one of our fans they searched because

806
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 4: I tweeted that they searched back. They wrote back to

807
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 4: me and said, first thing I searched was Michael Jordan

808
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 4: Weggie and this is what came back up first, and

809
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 4: it was giving me an actual legend. I'm going to

810
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 4: say no that I'm Jane didn't, at least until footage

811
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 4: on YouTube of been happening. But if you were there

812
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 4: in eighty eight eighty nine and a young mogul Jordan

813
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: stuck a wedgie, well send in the story emails and

814
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 4: dunks at the other it'd be amazing. Yeah, oh god,

815
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 4: I love that footage. Do you think that footage exists

816
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: somewhere in Dicky Ellis's basement?

817
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, it's possible. That's the only thing. Actually, when

818
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 5: I was back in Australia, like nearly two years ago now,

819
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 5: I couldn't find all my old recorded games videotapes, which

820
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 5: which is funny. I wonder if I'm surprised. I don't

821
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 5: think think he would have thrown those out, but I

822
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 5: suspect I suspect he may have taped over some of

823
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 5: those games. Even that I sort of think I probably

824
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 5: wouldn't have done that, but that's probably there somewhere. I'll

825
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 5: find it one day, Okay. I can't wait to rewatch

826
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 5: those games.

827
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 4: Keep us posted. Okay, guys, the NBAL Star Game, as

828
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 4: I said, starters revealed tonight on TNT. The reserves selected

829
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 4: by the coaches announced next Tuesdayly, I think it is

830
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 4: next to it is I found that? Yes, yeah, okay,

831
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: we're gonna make and debate our official picks on tomorrow's

832
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 4: drop podcast or he said that. But to get us

833
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 4: in the mood, A few questions, guys, And the first

834
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 4: one I'll ask it and answer it first is what

835
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 4: will you be watching most closely with Tonight's All Star

836
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 4: starters selections? And for me, I think most people agree

837
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 4: basically on it feels like eight or nine of the starters.

838
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 4: You know, it's like everyone's like, yeah, of course Lebron

839
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: and of course staff and all that, and of course

840
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: you know Yehn's blah blah blah blah blah. But the

841
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 4: one that's sort of I still think undecided or I'm

842
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 4: intrigued by, is who gets the starting nod along with

843
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: Steph Curry in the Western Conference backcourt? Crazy lock? You know,

844
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 4: you know, tons of votes well ahead he's gonna get

845
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: the good chunk of the media vote. He's gonna I

846
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: think the players would as well. So he's in there,

847
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 4: But who joins them? Because correct me if I'm wrong.

848
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 4: Luca had Lillard in the last fan votes right where

849
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 4: he was still ahead, but it's only fifty percent of

850
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 4: the ultimate you know decision here, twenty five going to

851
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 4: the media, twenty five going to the players. I just

852
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 4: wonder if Lillard wins both of those over Luca, and

853
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 4: in some instances, is it even crazy with the way

854
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 4: he's playing for Lillard to be ahead of even like

855
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 4: Steph Curry in terms of like some of the rankings

856
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 4: coming back. So I think it's gonna be Lillard, of course,

857
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: would I be shocked if it's Luca. No, especially with

858
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 4: the you know, pretty incredible lead that he had and

859
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: in terms of the actual vote. So that's something I'm watching, Lee.

860
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: You know, do you have a guess on who it

861
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 4: will be ultimately tonight as the starter there along with

862
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 4: Steph Curry?

863
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 8: Yeah?

864
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 5: I oh, that is really tough because Luca is pretty

865
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 5: popular as well amongst the players and the media. So yeah,

866
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: it's not like Luca's had a bad season himself.

867
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: You know, he's also like, I'd like to make this

868
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 4: very clear, I actually don't really care about the Times

869
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: deserves all that much.

870
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I just wonder if you know, this six

871
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 5: game win streak perhaps came just a little late for

872
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 5: the voting even maybe I don't know, but but yeah,

873
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: exactly whoever makes it is fully deserving. It would be

874
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 5: probably good to see Dame get in on the sort

875
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 5: of veteran vote over Luca, because Luke is going to

876
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: be there for so many years. Yeah, I don't know.

877
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 5: I don't really know how they're going to go with

878
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 5: the players. I don't know, because Lillard is respected as

879
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 5: well amongst you.

880
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, I think the players put Lillard over Luca.

881
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: If they're doing what a bit of the media, then

882
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: what do you think that? Yeah, the media is an

883
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 4: interesting one. I'm not I'm not sure. You know what

884
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 4: I'll say. I'll say Lily gets in. I'll say it

885
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 4: as a starter, Okay, Luca or.

886
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: So I want to swerve, you know, I want to swerve.

887
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 3: But I think it's going to be Lillard too. There

888
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: are four really solid starting candidates, I think in the

889
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 3: Western Conference for the guards, you would throw Donovan Mitchell

890
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 3: into the neck along with Donk Hurry and Lillard. But

891
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: what Lillard has done since Nurkic and McCollum went down,

892
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be impossible for the coaches

893
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: to look.

894
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 7: At that team and say, what is this guy doing?

895
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: This guy is the only person we have to worry

896
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: about really on the court up there, and when it

897
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 3: comes down to winning time, he's the only one taking

898
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: the shots or making the decisions, and we still can't

899
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 3: stop him. It must be just you're infuriating to be

900
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 3: a coach against that guy. So I'm guessing Lillard, but

901
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, it definitely could be Doncic. She had a

902
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 3: huge lead, right, He's almost a four hundred thousand games up,

903
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 3: so a likely win the fan vote, I would imagine, Yeah,

904
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: But then you know, I suppose that those next three Doncic, Lillard,

905
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: and Donovan Mitchell.

906
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: Could maybe could maybe.

907
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: Be in any sort of order, right, any sort of one,

908
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 3: two three or I guess probably two, three, four, to

909
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: be honest amongst the coaches in media. So I'm guessing Lillard,

910
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 3: but it could very likely be Doncic.

911
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. I'll find out tonight, all right, My

912
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: next question, which East player do you think has had

913
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 4: the most like an underappreciated sort of all star buzz

914
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: or case Trey Eastern Conference Eastern Conference.

915
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 3: For me, he the guy who doesn't have much buzz

916
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: that I'm a little bit surprised about is Ben Simmons.

917
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 3: You know, you look at the numbers, fifteen, eight and eight,

918
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: not super impressive. You can roll out of bed and

919
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 3: score twenty points per game in the NBA these days.

920
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: Everybody knows he's not taking three pointers, but he's making

921
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 3: shots at the rim all the time. But Ben Simmons

922
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 3: is still top ten in steals, top ten in assists,

923
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: He's a premier defender out there on the perimeter. He's

924
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 3: in the top handful of guys league wide. And the

925
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 3: Sixers are obviously pretty good. They're still in first place

926
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference nineteen and ten. In a year

927
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 3: with some less flashy cases, I think Ben Simmons would

928
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 3: probably be making have a little bit more All Star

929
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 3: buzz going into the selections. But there are so many

930
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 3: guys right, like you're like, there could be two from

931
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 3: the Charlotte Hornets that are going to be in the mix,

932
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 3: right Like LaMelo has really opened some eyes. Gordon Hayward

933
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 3: has had a solid season. He's out scoring Ben Simmons,

934
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 3: so it just feels like there's no Ben.

935
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 4: Buzz right now.

936
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: But he should be higher on people's lists.

937
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 4: I think, Okay, Lee, do you have an Eastern Conference player?

938
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 5: Well, I think if it wasn't for the team he

939
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 5: was playing on, I think Jeremy Grant would be in

940
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 5: the mix. He's had a very good season. I mean,

941
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 5: he could be in line for Most Improved. He's up

942
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 5: to twenty four points a game, shooting forty eight percent

943
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 5: from downtown, five rebounds, couple of assists, and he's been

944
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 5: really good for the Pistons. But he's their go to

945
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 5: guy exactly. But it's the Piston so I just don't

946
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 5: think people are really tuning in to watch them. But otherwise,

947
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 5: I think, certainly out of anyone on that team, he's

948
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 5: the guy there. And you know he went there. He

949
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: went to a team where he was in Denver that

950
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: was in the conference finals last season. But he took

951
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 5: the pay, took the money, he went to Detroit and

952
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 5: he's certainly lived up to his end of the bargain anyway,

953
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 5: been really really good for them. But he won't get in.

954
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 4: You don't think so? Yeah, I'll see. All right, Well

955
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 4: let's ask the same question, but for the Western Conference,

956
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 4: which player in the Westley has the most underappreciated All

957
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: Star case?

958
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'm going off the board a little bit, I

959
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 5: think with this one because the Jazz we know we're

960
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 5: getting two for sure in Donovan Mitchell and Rudigobert. And

961
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 5: there was talk about Mike Conley, who's been out now

962
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 5: for I think five games with a hamstring injury, potentially

963
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 5: being their third. But what about their second leading scorer?

964
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: The guy acutely do it?

965
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 5: The guy who is an absolute luck right now for

966
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: six Man of the Year is Jordan Clarkson. I mean,

967
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 5: the team that has the best record and he's gone out.

968
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 5: Then how last night he actually shot the ball badly,

969
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 5: had a terrible shooting night, but he hit the eight

970
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 5: threes against Philadelphia last week. He has been fantastic. And

971
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 5: when you look at the Western Conference, just how good

972
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 5: the Jazz have been twenty out of twenty one wins

973
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 5: right now? I mean they if Mike Conley was playing,

974
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 5: they could makebe have a case for four All Stars,

975
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 5: which we don't see very often. But It has happened

976
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 5: a couple of times in the past, as Celtics has

977
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 5: done it, the Pistons done it, but also for Jordan Clarkson.

978
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 5: A guy coming off the bench to be an All

979
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 5: Star is very rare, though not unprecedented. It has happened.

980
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 5: Kevin Mchao did it, Dan Marley did it. Kobe Bryant

981
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 5: when he was in his second season. He only started

982
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 5: one game for the Lakers that year, but you know,

983
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 5: it's Kobe Bryant.

984
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 4: He's probably voted in, wasn't it.

985
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 5: I believe so. I believe he started. Yeah, But I

986
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 5: think he's got a very strong case. I mean, the

987
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 5: way that he has been playing for Utah, the effect

988
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: that he has had the team is winning games, and you know,

989
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 5: he's shooting the ball overall very well, other than other

990
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 5: than last night where he's sort of stunck it up.

991
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 5: But I think he's got a case. I think he's

992
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 5: got definitely got a strong case. I mean, if you

993
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 5: were to have two All Stars from one team. Now,

994
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 5: Rudy obviously is not a big scorer. He does other

995
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: things for that team, but generally the guy who's the

996
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 5: second leading scorer is in that conversation, and Jordan Clafton

997
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 5: doesn't really seem to be in it, but I think

998
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 5: I think he deserves some consideration.

999
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. I love that tick. I actually

1000
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 4: sort of had something similar down, but I didn't want

1001
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 4: to come off like an asshole because the Jazz are

1002
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 4: just winning a bunch of games and people like Mike Conley.

1003
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 4: But I'm a little dumbfounded by how much like support

1004
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 4: there is to get Mike Conley in this All Star Game,

1005
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 4: and not just because he's been injured. Now, I get

1006
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: it the plus mind through the roof. He's a good player,

1007
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 4: but he is not, like he is not outperforming all

1008
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 4: these other guards that I think deserve consideration, including, like

1009
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: you just said, maybe a guy even on his own

1010
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 4: team in Jordan Clarkson. Though Jordan Clarkson is not making

1011
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 4: this All Star team either. But I saw it like

1012
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 4: Dan Devine with that final starting spot that we were

1013
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 4: just debating, right, he had it as a six way

1014
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: race between Lillard, Luca Mitchell and then Mike Conley, Crisp

1015
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 4: Paul and Devin Booker. Obviously he had Steph Curry as

1016
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 4: his life. It's like, Okay, I love Dan Devine He's

1017
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 4: the kindest guy I know in the world, so I

1018
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,959
Speaker 4: know what he's doing here. He's just doing the old

1019
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 4: well what about this guy? But Mike Conley does not

1020
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 4: deserve really to truly be in this conversation with a

1021
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 4: lot of these guys. I'm sorry, just the way it is. Again,

1022
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 4: I love Mike Conley. Everybody that knows Mike Conley loves him.

1023
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 4: But I just don't think we may should make this

1024
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 4: like a you know, a career achievement here, you know,

1025
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 4: like here you go, just throw your bone like he's

1026
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 4: not killing it. He's on a great team, he's playing

1027
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: his role incredibly well. But he's not an All Star

1028
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 4: this year.

1029
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, if you checked his Raptor War.

1030
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure his is amazing. Guys, get it, I

1031
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 4: get it. I'm happy. I'm happy to set that up

1032
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: thoughly because I've been thinking about that for a while

1033
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: and I just didn't want to come off even though

1034
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 4: I'm sure I just did as the asshole doesn't deserve

1035
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 4: be an All Star, but he does it.

1036
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: He does it.

1037
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 4: There's too many good guards, and I'm with you, even

1038
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 4: I think Clarkston deserves just as much. Like like credit

1039
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 4: or praise or whatever you want to call it a

1040
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 4: case to be made to get into the game, which

1041
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 4: you won't, but still should be talked about a little

1042
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 4: bit more. Anyway, I can't wait to debate our picks tomorrow, though.

1043
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 4: Always a fun show, Always a tough one to wrap

1044
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 4: your head around, because we've got four guys making all

1045
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: their All Star picks. But we'll do our best to

1046
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 4: you know, lay it all out and uh, you know,

1047
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 4: I will probably agree on eight or nine of them,

1048
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 4: and then you get to the sort of the end

1049
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 4: of your all Star roster and you're that's where the

1050
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 4: fun begins. But I will say I also heard this

1051
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 4: on I think it was Windhorses podcast this morning. They

1052
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: are going to be apparently doing the drafts for this

1053
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 4: whole star game. That's what I think. I don't know

1054
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 4: if it was mcmahonor or Bonteps, I can't remember which

1055
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 4: tim it was that said that, but that apparently we're

1056
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 4: going to do the captains and drafting again. Like what

1057
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 4: I mean, why do we couldn't fly note about what's

1058
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 4: going on in this all stream? Is it's even happening?

1059
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 4: So strange because we just I sort of just assumed

1060
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about you guys. It was like, all right,

1061
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 4: that's that's on the back burner of here for this year,

1062
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 4: and we'll just go east west and if we play this,

1063
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: you know, obviously meaningless game, We're gonna just play it

1064
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 4: with like we used to guess not we.

1065
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 5: Might be drafted the elam ending then as well. May

1066
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 5: that worked last year? Yeah, I gonna play it. You

1067
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 5: may as well just play that as well, like yeah, yeah.

1068
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess we'll see. All right, So making our

1069
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 4: all star picks on tomorrow, do you have anyone else

1070
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 4: Trey in the West that's underappreciated.

1071
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 3: Demort Rosen has an all star case. I think you

1072
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: would maybe have him on same level as a Mike

1073
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: Conley and a Jordan Clarkson of guys who aren't getting

1074
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: talked about really but could make the game. The numbers

1075
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 3: aren't crazy, twenty five and seven. Those are all out

1076
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: of bed numbers, like we're saying. But the Spurs are

1077
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: pretty good. Demarta Rosen, he's their best player. He's been

1078
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 3: there to facto point guard. I think he has a case.

1079
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: But you know, we saw Demartar Rosan score twenty five

1080
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 3: a game for the Raptors. So to go back to

1081
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 3: twenty a game, it looks a little bit weird. You know,

1082
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 3: the Spurs are having a very solid season, and they

1083
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 3: are certainly outperforming expectations, I would say, but not a

1084
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 3: lot of people talking about Demart Rosen right now. In

1085
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 3: another year, in a year where a team could actually

1086
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 3: have four All Stars in a game, maybe Demarta Rosan

1087
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 3: gets in, But I don't think it's happening this year

1088
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: despite a nice season.

1089
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 4: Absolutely all right, we will get to tweet to the night.

1090
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 4: But first quick word from our sponsors. Okay, let's get

1091
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 4: to tweet the night, tweet out the night. Wow, what

1092
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 4: do you got?

1093
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 3: T K Yesterday on tweet of the Night, we saw

1094
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: life of Kate's fire turn up basketball tattoos. Skeet said,

1095
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 3: we need another no Dunks tattoo, but it cannot be

1096
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: Lee's face. Yeah right, and let me tell you the

1097
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 3: people stepped up.

1098
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 4: I mean those are good, but we got enough of these.

1099
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: We need some variety. The people stepped up.

1100
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 3: We got a tweet from n JP who said I

1101
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 3: just listened to today's No Dunk sinc And Trey Kirby.

1102
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm ready to be the one to take the plunge

1103
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 3: on a tray tattoo. I just need an idea, okay.

1104
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 3: NJP suggested a poorly drawn picture of the time I

1105
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 3: fist bumped Guy Fieri, which would be great, But it

1106
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: is risky to get a celebrity tattoo, even riskier to

1107
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 3: get a tattoo with two celebrities on it.

1108
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: Very risky.

1109
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: My man Big Smooth, he texted me last night. He

1110
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 3: said he might get a big beef tattoo. I don't

1111
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: know exactly what that is. Maybe it's similar to the

1112
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 3: turnip tattoo, a basketball that looks like a ROAs roast

1113
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 3: beef sandwich. Not entirely sure, but I want to hear

1114
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 3: some ideas what could be a tattoo that NJP could do.

1115
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 3: Because if you're hopping on Twitter to say.

1116
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: It, that is a binding contract.

1117
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: As we all know, you can't just tweet something out

1118
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 3: and not get called out for it. So this person

1119
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 3: is going to soon have a Trey Kirby tattoo on

1120
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: their buttet.

1121
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, had Ray gotta.

1122
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: Be all right done.

1123
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want the guy to get a I think

1124
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 4: this is a guy right that's saying he'll get the

1125
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 4: tree hat that uh that you want to what Tray

1126
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 4: when he when his hair looked like it was a beret,

1127
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 4: is what I'm saying.

1128
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean like the the you know that

1129
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 5: that that really like was our first season. I think

1130
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 5: down at NBA TV it was like, like, I guess

1131
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 5: the Berets here for good. Now you see Trey in

1132
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 5: a beret.

1133
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 4: It wasn't time for he got rid of it.

1134
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 8: I know.

1135
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 5: I thought he might have thought maybe this would be

1136
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 5: his thing. He'll just be known as the Bereat guy.

1137
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 5: And you've seen Train a barat.

1138

00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah? And then like, weren't people responding to this guy

1144
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 4: on Twitter saying, whatever the tattoo is, it has to

1145
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 4: be on the back, that's awesome. I think it has

1146
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 4: to be whatever you get.

1147
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 3: A Chicago Bulls tramp stamp from Bulls back. Oh but

1148
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 3: here's something crazy. Turn it upside down. It looks like

1149
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: a robot reading the buyers. All right, So yeah, okay,

1150
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 3: so you want the hair beret Tray.

1151
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,040

1152
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 4: big beard Tray Kirby. I like the groot one to

00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 4: be honest, big beef is good.

1154
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: What about fish? Ripping lips not bad? Fish always look

1155
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 2: great on a tattoo as well. I've never seen a

1156
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 2: fish that I didn't like. That's a bold statement. I

1157
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 2: don't even know if that's true.

1158
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 5: How many people do you know with fish?

1159
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 3: A lot?

1160
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 2: Actually, I have a lot of people who are into fish.

1161
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: And my wife's from Nova Scotia.

1162
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 4: Right. What about like some variation on the what is

1163
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 4: it is? It is it? Kelvin and Hobbes, the Kelvin

1164
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 4: guy taking a leak and just make Tray looking like

1165
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 4: he's fishing a little bit or so turn it over.

1166
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: I don't know draw that.

1167
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 2: It's gotta be one of those high concepts that incorporates

1168
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: everything like a beret, the deadhead skull or logo or whatever,

1169
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: ripping lips, basketball bowls, all of that shit has to

1170
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 2: be in there and bow.

1171
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 4: So you justally want to hold Trey kirby armsleeve. I

1172
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 4: want to story of Trey Kirby. That's right, Oh yeah,

1173
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 4: go through Trey Kirby's Instagram account. He has the greatest

1174
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 4: throwback Thursday photo all time because Sally Kirby took a

1175
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 4: photo of Trey every single day. I'm convinced more photos

1176
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 4: than Lee Ellis, I'm sure. And yeah, just have a

1177
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 4: photo like Trey as a baby, like just turning into

1178
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 4: into group at the end.

1179
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: That's it'd be cool, all right.

1180
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 4: Kate has posted and definitely if that tattoo happens or

1181
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 4: you decide on something, let us know and then take

1182
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 4: a photo like Kate did with her turn up basketball there,

1183
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 4: which is fantastic. I don't have it in front of

1184
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 4: me right now. I'll have to share it that some

1185
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 4: other time. But remember how we were talking about, like

1186
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 4: Kate is now gonna have to always explain this turn

1187
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 4: up basketball to people, and she she wrote back and

1188
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 4: said she's actually a teacher, so she is like it's

1189
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 4: it's visible and is asked about it a lot and

1190
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 4: already as you only had it for a couple of days.

1191
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 4: But I'll share that whole story at a later date.

1192
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 4: Pick the results. Last night's a Jazz Clippers game. I

1193
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 4: hope I didn't upset the Jazz fans out there. I mean,

1194
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 4: look the whole Conley thing. It was just you know,

1195
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought it up.

1196
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 3: Lee, That's what I'm worried about.

1197
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 4: Man Don. Mike Colley shouldn't be an All Star. My

1198
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 4: college should have been an All Star. Yes, absolutely, but

1199
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 4: not now. And I heard Simmons, uh, you know, running

1200
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 4: with my point from the other day. The best thing

1201
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 4: for Mike Conley is to never make an All Star Game.

1202
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 4: At this point, he would be the greatest player to

1203
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 4: never played in it. That's good, That's something that's something

1204
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 4: people will remember you by and talk about, how did

1205
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 4: my colleague ever make an All Star Game? You don't

1206
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 4: want to make one. Just get thrown a bone here

1207
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 4: because you're scoring sixteen points per game on the best

1208
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 4: team in the league. Oh, come on anyway, Yeah, the

1209
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 4: game last night, we took the Jazz A lot of

1210
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 4: us did trade it, Lea did? I did? They were

1211
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 4: favored by three and a half in La No, Paul George,

1212
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 4: it was close, forget young of it. They pulled away

1213
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 4: though in the second half. Spy Clarkson have an approval game.

1214
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 4: Like you said there, Lely, we get the victory task swerved.

1215
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 4: He takes the l Trey your five and eight task

1216
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 4: to six, and seven. Lee, you're seven and six and

1217
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 4: I'm eight and five. Just like that, five six, seven

1218
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,959
Speaker 4: eight in the wid column. So tonight's game Brooklyn? And

1219
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 4: is it the Lakers? That is correct?

1220
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 8: Right?

1221
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 4: That's the second game now? No, Ad, No, we don't

1222
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 4: know about Kyrie. No, KD not sure.

1223
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: I think it's probable.

1224
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 4: He's probable. Okay, so you know, take that into consideration

1225
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 4: when you're making your picks. I assume Lebron is playing, right.

1226
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 4: I don't know why he wouldn't be, so, Lee, where

1227
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 4: are you going tonight? Nets?

1228
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 8: Oh?

1229
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 4: I should give you the line the Lakers are favored

1230
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 4: by two and a half.

1231
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it feels we'd picking against Lebron James. But

1232
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 5: just sort of think the Lakers haven't been playing super

1233
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 5: great basketball lightly. And I'm making this pick assuming Kyrie's playing.

1234
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 5: I like that Nets offense, so I'll take the Nets

1235
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 5: to in the game. They just have to win, bite,

1236
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 5: Is that right? I believe that's right. Man, they don't know,

1237
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 5: they don't even need to. Well, well, they can lose

1238
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 5: by two points, yes, give me the Nets.

1239
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 4: They can lose by two or one Lebron James game

1240
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 4: winner and they would still maybe cover Trey, where are

1241
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 4: you going?

1242
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1243
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about this one because it feels like

1244
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 3: the kind of game where Lebron can say, Oh, people

1245
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 3: are thinking I'm gonna lose this one.

1246
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: No a d around here.

1247
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 3: They got two of their three ready to go, So

1248
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 3: I don't know. I got a feeling we're getting a

1249
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 3: classic Lebron tonight.

1250
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: Give me the Lakers.

1251
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 4: I love your thinking on this one, Trey. We got

1252
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 4: a lot of MVP talk over the last couple of days.

1253
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: Lillard obviously you know embeed being in and out. Oh

1254
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 4: they stink when he's not playing. That helps his case.

1255
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah, Yolks doing his thing. Lebron season here

1256
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 4: is all. And this is a nationally televised game versus

1257
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 4: a good Nets team. No ad, the Nets don't play defense.

1258
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 4: Why couldn't Lebron put on a crazy performance tonight? I

1259
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 4: will take the Lakers, who win by three or more

1260
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 4: as well. So I'm with Trey. Let's find out who

1261
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 4: tas has.

1262
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: Give me the Nets.

1263
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving will not miss this game for anything, and

1264
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 3: he's gonna show his old teammate Lebron James what he

1265
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 3: can still do.

1266
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 4: Gimme Brooklyn. Okay, interesting, he's going with the Kyrie angle.

1267
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 4: Tass is locking it in that Kyrie's gonna play on

1268
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 4: this one. He wouldn't miss it for the world to

1269
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 4: what I guess, because he just wants to to show

1270
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 4: Lebron what he's what missing I guess. So here we go.

1271
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 4: We're split on this one. Great lee and task taking

1272
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 4: the nets to to you know, obviously get the victory

1273
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 4: or keep it close enough training. I need the Lakers

1274
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 4: wo win by three or more. Good luck to all tonight,
