Speaker 2: the green light from all doctors to move into an

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: inpatient rehab facility. This is incredibly positive news. Massive stepped

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: forward in his recovery, so he's going to be in

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: the new hospital here for for some time until he's

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: strong enough both physically and mentally before you can head home.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: No exact timeline with that, but Danny, his wife, is

00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: get ready for the NBA season helps some new NBA

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: fans maybe find the show and get hooked. And that's

48
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: the whole point here, because we're every day once the

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: season gets underway. But today TK we're doing a podcast

50
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: we've never done before. That's right, we're looking back at

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: last year's NBA predictions because in a couple of weeks time,

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: we'll start doing our preseason prediction podcast. We'll do a

53
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: lot of over unders, we'll do some tears. We'll obviously

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: make predictions when it comes to the awards. We do

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: this every year. Sometimes they're called burning questions, sometimes they're not.

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: But it is a series of pods that we do

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: leading up to the start of the season where we

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: try and make a bunch of predictions, and you know

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: what happens is we make them, then the season starts

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: and we just keep making predictions throughout the season, but

61
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: no one remembers the ones we did. So we thought

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: it would be fun here to look back at last

63
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: year's those preseason shows and draft our best and our

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: worst NBA predictions from last season. How much work did

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: you put into this bad? Did you watch all of

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: them or listen to all of them?

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: I went back and I watched all five of our

68
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: burning questions previous from last year. I'll admit it. I

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: watched it in two X speed. I didn't want to

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: relive it again, skeets, because for as many positive moments

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: as there are, there are some humiliating moments as well. Yeah,

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: that's that'll be the best part.

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. We'll save that for the second part

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: of the show when we draft our worst predictions. But

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: we did get some things right. That's right, And we're

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: going to do a draft here. We're actually gonna have

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: three picks each and you don't have to pick your own,

78
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: by the way, like you might have heard something that

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: task said on a particular question and he knocked it

80
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: out of the park. You can feel free to draft

81
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: or of course myself or yourself. So you get us started.

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: You get the first pick when it comes to drafting

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: our best NBA predictions from last season. What do you got?

84
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: Is this a first pick? Like an NBA draft? I

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: want to take the absolute best take or should I

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 4: be building to like when I get to my third

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: round pick? Wow, what a prediction? What a prediction. That's

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: a tough call. I'll start with a big one. Here,

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: Tass was the only one to get MVP right.

90
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

91
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: That's a good one. Yeah, call Joel Embiid and if

92
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, he picked Nikola Jokic to win his

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: second of two MVPs like the previous season in our

94
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: twenty one twenty two previews as well. So a two

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 4: year streak for tasks that's tough to do. I'm on

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: a I don't know, lifelong streak of botching my MVP calls.

97
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 4: But I went with Luca, you went with Giannis, and

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: Tass said it's Inbiid's time to win this one. Here

99
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: it was maybe looking shaky through March, but then Yoker

100
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 4: said I don't want a third MVP helped them, and

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: Embiid said, I definitely want a first MVP. He ended

102
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 4: up taking it, and Tess is the one who was right.

103
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: He nailed it for two consecutive years, though within one

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: of the shows. I think this was maybe the second

105
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: show of those burning questions the series.

106
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: There.

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: Test did say after he picked and beat, he said,

108
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: fade me, There's no way I can pick it right

109
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: two years in a row. So even he was like,

110
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: I mean, one of the odds on here. They got

111
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 2: this right after having Yo kitsch o the year before.

112
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, he nailed it. I have it in my

113
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: notes as well. You had Luca. I loved your reasoning

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: for Luca. You were like, he was looking cut. Remember

115
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: that whole storyline. Oh my god, Luca looks so good,

116
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: He's coming into shape. Watch out. Okay, there was that,

117
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: but he had a new haircut as well, if I'm

118
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: not mistaken, that's right. But you also pointed out, you know,

119
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: he lost Brunson obviously going to the next thinking Okay,

120
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: well there's even you know, more of a vacuum for

121
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: of him to fill, and he would have dumb stats,

122
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: which he did. But yeah, the the Mavericks overall floundering

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: and Luca, I mean, I don't even know where he finished.

124
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: I didn't even look that up. Where did he finish

125
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 2: in the MVP vote? I mean assume he was top ten.

126
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: He must have been top ten, but I bet he

127
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: was outside of the top five.

128
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, because that's the fine exactly.

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Tatum would have been probably number four, and

130
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 4: they definitely did not make it to even the play

131
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 4: in tournament, so he wasn't getting any votes there. But yeah,

132
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: I'll toss to you a quick little bone here as well.

133
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: Skeets.

134
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: You had the Mavericks as your most overrated team heading

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: into the season.

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: I did. I did. I had that in my list too.

137
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: I was like, I was pretty convinced the defense was

138
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: gonna fall off and that they were gonna go the

139
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: way of the Hawks a couple of years prior where

140
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: they made that sort of surprise conference finals, fun run,

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: excuse me, and then sort of come back to earth.

142
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I did have the mass as overrated.

143
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: So I got that one.

144
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm not up next year. You got the

145
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: MVP out of the way. I'm glad you went with that.

146
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: I am going to go you know what, I'm gonna

147
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: stick with tasks and you on this one. This was

148
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: sort of a joint prediction. You guys were talking up

149
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: the Nuggets as the number one seed in the West. Now,

150
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: when we asked this question, there was a debate of like,

151
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: who wins the West? What does that mean? Is it

152
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: number one overall record in the regular season, or is

153
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: it like goes on to actually win the Western Conference.

154
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: And we went back and forth on that. But you

155
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: guys were just like pointing out man Denver plus six

156
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: point fifty as a number one seed. You guys called

157
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: them one of you called them like a wins machine,

158
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: and you know that came to fruition in them going

159
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: through to win the championship and racking up the victory.

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a weird year. There wasn't like

161
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: a you know, an elite, elite, runaway sixty five win

162
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: team in really either conference, especially the West. But kudos

163
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: to you guys, So I'm gonna draft you guys being

164
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: right about the Nuggets at least getting a lot of

165
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: wins and being like one of the elite teams.

166
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think my exact quote in our very first

167
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: preview podcast, one hundred percent best bet on the board

168
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: plus six fifty Nuggets to finish with the one seed

169
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference, and then I took the Warriors

170
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: to beat.

171
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: Them in the playoffs. Yeah.

172
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing with all these predictions, skeets, we're

173
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: hedging hard on all of them. You talk long enough,

174
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: you can play both sides every coin here, but it

175
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: felt good to at least get one thing right. In

176
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: the very first preview podcast, I had that on my

177
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: list as well.

178
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: Good job by you and Tess. I'm gonna give that

179
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: one to both of you.

180
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 4: Okay, you're up next for you drafted hats off to

181
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: use skeets hats off. See here, sweet sweet, you nailed

182
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 4: three first time all Stars. Oh.

183
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 2: I had this in my notes.

184
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was good. We were talking about who's gonna

185
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: be the first time all Stars heading into this season.

186
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: I said, I was marinating a medium take. We might

187
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: not have any first time all Stars. I think we

188
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: had four last year. You mentioned Anthony Edwards, Darren Fox,

189
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: and your biggest pull I thought was Tyrese Halliburton there

190
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: on the Pacers, a surprise team the first two thirds

191
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 4: of the season, just in time for All Stars. So

192
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: obviously he made it as well. And then you didn't

193
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: even have to mention him. Shake Gil Just Alexander made

194
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: All Star last season. After you had been saying for

195
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: a couple of seasons that he was gonna make it.

196
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 4: He finally did. So you nailed four first time All Stars.

197
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: I was impressed.

198
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: There were some more as well. I know Markinen made it,

199
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 4: some other guys, Jaron Jackson exactly, but I mean hitting

200
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: four of them, that's nice.

201
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: That's not bad. I laughed when you had the medium

202
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: take brewing that they were gonna be no first time

203
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: All Stars. That's actually a hot take because that's pretty rare,

204
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: very very rare, And as we just saw, we had

205
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: six new ones last year, so to have zero with

206
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: what you were predicting, I mean, that's that was That

207
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: was a region.

208
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: You know.

209
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: Tass had a lot of love for Anthony Edwards too.

210
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: I mean he was like he was on that one.

211
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, maybe it'll be tough with three wolves.

212
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: Of course Rudy doesn't make it, Cat doesn't make it,

213
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: Edwards does, but yeah, you go in with the Opher

214
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 2: was I almost had that down as one of my

215
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: worst predictions, but I like that you put it in there.

216
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I guess I also wasn't thinking about it.

217
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: Seems like there are twelve All Star spots per conference,

218
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: but there's really about fifteen once injury replacements get factored

219
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 4: in here. So yeah, big whiff from me. But you

220
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 4: hit it out of the park literally four right, that's

221
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: like the hitting for the cycle.

222
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: The Tyres one was my best one. I was throwing

223
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: out the idea like he might have Dejonte Murray like stats,

224
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: which got him an All Star nod. When he was

225
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: with the Spurs still, and that's what ended up happening. Now,

226
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: I will say I was completely wrong about the Pacers

227
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: in general. I'm sure we'll get to you later when

228
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: we talk about the worst teams in the league. Whoops,

229
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: whift on that one, but I'll take it. I felt

230
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: good about that also, just to speak to that point

231
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: of like, yeah, there's twelve all stars in both conference,

232
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: but not really because there's way more. Always that's why

233
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: we don't need to expand the rosters. True, we get

234
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: into that, oh this guy didn't make it, we should

235
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: expand the rosters. Oh it should be fifteen. It's like

236
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: we don't need to. There's always guys missing it, and

237
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: we get up into these crazy total numbers where it's

238
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: like we're naming twenty guys at the end of the

239
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: day that ultimately make it.

240
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. The rosters are expanded. You just don't

241
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: know it at the time.

242
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay, my next one here. I like this one, and

243
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a cheat, I will admit, but

244
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: we did our classic first player to score fifty points

245
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: in a game. Now you went with Joelle and beat Technically,

246
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: it wasn't true Darius Garland did it on the same

247
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: night time zones, and I guess Garland did beat Joel Embiid,

248
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: but you called Look, you called the player, obviously the

249
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: guy that went on to win MVP. Now you also

250
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: said it was a bowl that you said opening night,

251
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid's going for fifty Okay, that didn't happen. But

252
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: November thirteenth, that's a couple weeks into the start of

253
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: the season. Garland fifty one and Embiid fifty nine, so

254
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: almost you got to give it to Embid scoring more

255
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: than Garland in a way, Ty goes to more points

256
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: score but same night, two different games. But that's a

257
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: hell of a call. But let me expand on that.

258
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: Tass had Anthony Davis a solid pick. He did it

259
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: in late November, and I took Devin Booker, who did

260
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: also in late November. So it went like this, Garland, Okay, okay,

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: just to remind you there, you took Joel Embid, task

262
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: took Anthony Davis, I took Devin Booker November thirteenth, Garland

263
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 2: and Embiid three days later. Steph Curry, Okay, we missed

264
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: on that one. Late November. Devin Booker fifty one points

265
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 2: in thirty one minutes against your Bulls. Less than a

266
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: week later, Anthony Davis scores fifty five. There's a lot

267
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: of fifties, so so get this though. The next two

268
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: fifty burgers come from Embiid and Booker. Five of the

269
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: first seven fifty point games were the three guys we picked.

270
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: That's pretty good, actual not bad. That's not bad. I

271
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: know we whiffed on all of our random picks. Like,

272
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 4: who's a random guy that's gonna do it? Mine was

273
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: Jalen Green. I do think I saw his season high

274
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: live last year, but that does not count. But I

275
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: mean hitting what five of the first seven? Is that

276
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 4: what you said? That's yeahs doing it multiple multiple times.

277
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: But I guess one tip I would say is like

278
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: pick the best players in the league. They tend to

279
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: score fifty.

280
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 2: That's a good idea, though. I mean, if anybody out

281
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: there had predicted Garland as actually the first, that would

282
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 2: have been a hell of a pick. Yeah, random players

283
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 2: to score fifty, you said Jalen Green, he had four

284
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: games of forty plus. I mean, you're flirting with it

285
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: when you get to that, and you'll do it again

286
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: this year, task had Jordan Poole. He had forty three

287
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: and forty one, both in games in December, and I

288
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: really reached. I went to Desmond Bean. What do you

289
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: think Desmond Beans high was last year?

290
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: Thirty seven were very close thirty eight.

291
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he never cracked forty.

292
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 4: So I think it's unreasonable. Though he could do it.

293
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: It was pretty off. Well, it was that one. I

294
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: love that one. So we called the fifty Burgers for

295
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: the most part. All right, your final one here? Where

296
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: are you drafting?

297
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: Uh, that's a tough call, but I'm gonna I'm gonna

298
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: be congratulatory to myself here. Sure. I called two of

299
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: the category leaders heading into the season. I said Demonta

300
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: Sabonis was going to lead the league in rebounds.

301
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: He did.

302
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: And I thought said James Harden was going to lead

303
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: the league in assists. He did. I also said Zion

304
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 4: would lead the league in scoring because I was riding

305
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: the lefty wave. He finished twelfth in the league in scoring,

306
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: but still twenty six per game. Pretty solid. If he

307
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: would have been in the thirties, I would have even

308
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 4: it would have felt even better here. But you know,

309
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: I think going into the season, if you can pick

310
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: two out of three category winners. That's pretty solid.

311
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: You didn't give us the steels leaders or blocks leaders

312
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: or defense.

313
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I'm mean, I'm.

314
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, that's a good call. You had Harden Sabonis.

315
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: That's really nice. And then yeah, there was a lot

316
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: of on love or anticipation of what he keptated. I mean,

317
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: hast talked him up a lot in those preseason shows

318
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: and obviously just didn't play a lot. Good call by you, man,

319
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: got your eyes on who's going to do it this year?

320
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Without tipping your hand, how much work do you put

321
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: into this car? The numbers?

322
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: I look at the previous season leaders, and then I

323
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 4: picked the guy who was third. That's basically how it

324
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: goes like. He's probably gonna jump up a little bit here.

325
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 4: So who was third in the league in rebounding? Maybe

326
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: Jokic will win the league's rebounding title. I haven't thought

327
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: about it yet.

328
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: All right, My final one for best predictions, this is

329
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: sort of an all encompassing one, but I guess if

330
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: I had to get specific, I would talk about when

331
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: we were asked favorite under the radar offseason move, and

332
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: I went with Kevin Herder time going to the Kings.

333
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: That ended up being great. Seventy five games started, fifteen

334
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: points per game, forty percent from deep, and we had

335
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: a big debate how we felt about him wearing a headband.

336
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: We might have to do the same thing with Tyler

337
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: Herro apparently coming up this season. But there was a

338
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: live comment and I was talking up the Kings and

339
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: it just said, Skeets is a King's sicko, because I

340
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: was going, this is the year, this is when they

341
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: finally make the playoffs. It's all coming together. Mike Brown,

342
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: is there, Fox going another level? You got some bonus,

343
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: you got these pieces, They've added some shooting, and it

344
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: actually worked out. So I have to take a small

345
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: victory lap on being right about the Sacramento Kings.

346
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: Even going back to our over Under podcast, we were

347
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 4: high on the Kings hitting the over to the point

348
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: where we talked up the King so much in the

349
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: preview podcast that we're like, this is we're maybe going

350
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: overboard here. Yeah, we kind of all undersold it really

351
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: considering the season that the Kings had, but I thought

352
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: that in general, you nailed the Kings, and we as

353
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: a whole nailed the Kings. We'd just thought they were

354
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: going to be better than anticipated last year, and I

355
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: thought we got a pretty solid read on the seventy

356
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: six ers as well. Yeah, we hit the nail on

357
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 4: the head within beads score and fifty points. Task had

358
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: them for MVP. I had Doc Rivers on the hot

359
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: seat as a coach, but not until after a postseason failure.

360
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: We thought they'd be a great regular season team and

361
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: then fall short in the playoffs. That's exactly what happened.

362
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: So one Eastern Conference team, one Western Conference team that

363
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: we actually had a good read on.

364
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about the King so much in these

365
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: preseason shows that at one point you said, quote, we

366
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: got to chill out. You were like, oh, okay, man,

367
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: we are two in on the Sacramento Kings. Here's a

368
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: spoiler for our upcoming you know, preseason prediction pots. I'm

369
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: doubling down.

370
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: I'll do it again.

371
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm doing it again running back. Maybe everybody's sleeping on

372
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: the Kings again. I absolutely love it. I'm going full

373
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: Kang's sick of mode for the second year in a row. Okay,

374
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: love that one. I guess it's up to me here

375
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: with the with the final pick. Oh, there are a

376
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: couple like smaller ones tasks. Dark horse pick for most

377
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: improved was Lowry markining.

378
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: That was my dark horse pick for most improved.

379
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I have it done as task it could be

380
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: all right correctly. Wow, well that's a good one. I

381
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: mean you had so you had Tyrese Maxey.

382
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: I had MAXI. But then you said who's your dark

383
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 4: horses and I said marketing.

384
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, my bad. So test had Kate Cunningham. Okay,

385
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: that makes more sense, So that's good. I did call

386
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: Mel Brogden winning six Man of the Year.

387
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: Yep.

388
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: So we got that one right. But I'm gonna go

389
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: with the coaches win coaches on the hot seat. You

390
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: already slipped it in there because you were all over

391
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: the Doc Rivers part of like he won't be fired

392
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: during the regular season. They will flame out in the

393
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: playoffs and then he will be gone. And I agreed

394
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: with you on that one. But we also had Nash

395
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: and Nate McMillan. We did have TIBs. I gotta be honest,

396
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: we had TIBs in there as well. We thought if

397
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: they get off to a British start, maybe TIBs was gone.

398
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: So he of course was okay, but we said if

399
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: Nash and the Nets struggled to start Nate McMillan and

400
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: the Hawks, they're gonna be gone. The Nets. They start

401
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: two and five, Nash can't check the Hawks. They had

402
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: the weirdest season of all time. They go twenty nine

403
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: and thirty and finally decide to move off of Nate McMillan.

404
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: He's fired in February, and then Doc as we talked about, Uh,

405
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: totally good in the regular season, and then the playoffs

406
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: he's canned after they lose. So not not bad there

407
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: were you had TIBs as well. For some reason, we

408
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: were like, I guess the Knicks maybe we had.

409
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 4: A disappointing playoffs this season prior right like they'd had

410
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 4: the great run then they had a bad on But

411
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: I don't They definitely turned things around, kind of like

412
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: in January when they made changes to uh, their line

413
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 4: up in their rotation. But yeah, we were definitely I

414
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 4: and Tommy but everything else. I'm pretty impressed. Did anybody else?

415
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 4: Are those the only three coaches that were fired last year?

416
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: Put me on the spot there.

417
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 4: I don't know, I mean boontonholes are at the end

418
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: of the year. Yeah, Yeah, we're definitely high on the

419
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 4: Bucks coming into last season. Maybe that's it off the

420
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 4: top of my head.

421
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody let us know in the stream team. So okay,

422
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: those are our best prediction. Not a bad little draft there.

423
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: As we just went over, we got some things right.

424
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: Did we have to Did we have to massage them

425
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: a little bit at times? Sure, because like you said,

426
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 2: it's uh you, I don't even do it purposely, but

427
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: you just end up hedging on a lot of this

428
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: stuff when you do all these predictions. But not bad.

429
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a quick break and when we come back. Really,

430
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: what anybody wants to hear us talk about is our

431
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: worst predictions from battle season. Oh there's some brutal ones.

432
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere. Yeah, JD was throwing that out there.

433
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: A right formal Fridays, let's put on full on suits

434
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 2: and nice shoes.

435
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: Hi wow, Oh, I don't think I'll bother with the

436
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: shoes or the pants.

437
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 2: Actually, so you just want to wear a dress shirt

438
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: to tie and a nice jacket.

439
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: I want to class the place up, you know, shut

440
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 3: it up. Classic Factory should be classy at least one

441
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: day of the week. Maybe pop some bubbly. I don't

442
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: know so formal. Some can peys.

443
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in hopefully sends us some nice suits to

444
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: make it a reality. Okay, we've done our best predictions

445
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: from last season. Not bad, i'd say overall, but TK

446
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: you said off the top man, we had some stinkers.

447
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: Why do you just keep going first here in our draft?

448
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: What it's your first pick? When it comes to our

449
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: worst NBA prediction from last season, We've.

450
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: Touched on it a little, skeets, but I got to

451
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: take a massive l here for my award winners. My

452
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 4: award winners in general were terrible. I did get Palo

453
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: Boncaro Rookie of the Year, easy one. I think that

454
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 4: was the number one pick. We all picked him. He

455
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 4: was the favorite heading in. That was a pretty obvious one.

456
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 4: Like I said, I mentioned marketing In as a dark

457
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: horse for mi IP, but I was really going Maxi.

458
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: He didn't do it. But my other three picks were brutal.

459
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert Defensive Player of the Year. Nope, not even close,

460
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: not even really mentioned when we're talking about it. But

461
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 4: I wasn't alone on that one. I picked Spencer Dinwiddie

462
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 4: to win sixth Man of the Year. Saw that I

463
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: started every game he played for the Mavericks fifty three

464
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: out of fifty three games as the start.

465
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: That's a problem to a world.

466
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 4: That was ridiculous. He wasn't even like the favorite on

467
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: his team Christian wood was. I was like, no, there's

468
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: another Maverick, like like, they're gonna send him to the bench.

469
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: And then he went six Man of the Year. What

470
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 4: a ridiculous one. And then of course, uh, Luca is

471
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: my MVP pick. I think I picked him three straight years.

472
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 4: And over the summer I was like, I'm not doing it, man,

473
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 4: there's no way I'm getting fooled again. Season comes over.

474
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: He's looking tan, he's got a fresh cut. Oh skeets,

475
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 4: he's been playing all ye you're in your old basket.

476
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: This is a new year for the Mavericks. It was

477
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: not a new year for the Mavericks. Seriously, three years

478
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: in a row, I think, so at least two years.

479
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: I'll do it. Yess are crazy. He's got to get

480
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: one some time. But man, I couldn't have been further

481
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: off on this. Spencer did Woodie. I was cracking up

482
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: what I saw. I was like, what are you thinking man, Yeah,

483
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 4: absolute clown.

484
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: I'll double down with you, especially a defensive Player of

485
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: the Year. I remember sitting here going, there's only five

486
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 2: realistic winners. Like I'm saying it with such conviction. I'm like,

487
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: only Giannis could win it, only Bam could win it,

488
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: only Embiid could win it, only Rudy could win it,

489
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: and only Draymond win it. You have to pick from

490
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: one of those five guys, uh, which we all did. Okay,

491
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 2: we all picked from that pool, and of course Jaron

492
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: Jackson Junior went so yeah, yeah, was off that one.

493
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: The Rudy one was interesting because you were like, we

494
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: were like, well, he's going to improve the defense. I mean,

495
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: he's obviously a great elite center at protecting the rim.

496
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: So like, if they just improve on that end, which

497
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: we think they will quite drastically, he'll be on the

498
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: running again. He'll win another one. Minnesota only improved from

499
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: thirteenth to tenth in defensive rating, I mean a slight increase,

500
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: but not what we thought. We thought they'd be top five,

501
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: top three, Yeah.

502
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: We thought they would be a lot better. Yeah, But

503
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 4: I think if how would this work if you went

504
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: back in the past and told us how the season

505
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: played out and the Timberwolves finished top ten in defense,

506
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 4: we probably still would have went in on Gobert. We're

507
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 4: like ten, that's quite an improvement. Thirteen to ten is

508
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 4: not a huge improvement, but top ten sounds good. We

509
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: were talking up the narrative of everything, and like you're saying,

510
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 4: Jeron Jackson junior name not even mentioned, like as a

511
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 4: bone throw from the stream team.

512
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: A lot of the issues, like the guy can never

513
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: stay on the court, I mean because of either injury

514
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: or because he just fouls out all the time or

515
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: it gets himself in foul trouble. But yeah, him and

516
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies had a great year and he was a

517
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: deserving winner. So yeah, we we whiffed on that one.

518
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: That was a big oversight, not even mentioning like you said,

519
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: triple J there for dpoy. All right, I'll go first

520
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: with this one. My first pick, I should say, in

521
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: the worst predictions that we made all of us, which

522
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: team will finish with the worst record everybody? Tass actually

523
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: had the Pacers, so he went with them, and I

524
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: was agreeing. I remember I was like, it's either pacers

525
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: or jazz pacers. Are jazz pacers they finished thirty five

526
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: and forty seven, seven teams with the worst record, so

527
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: they were not all that bad. I had the Jazz,

528
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: like I said, pretty similar record, thirty seven and forty five,

529
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: even better than the Pacers. I thought they were gonna

530
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: be absolutely garbage. Thought they were gonna trade everyone, which

531
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: they sort of did in the end anyway, and it

532
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: didn't really matter. Larry Marketing incredible that. You know, there's

533
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: just the job they did there shocked me. And then Trey,

534
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: you at even worse than Pacers and Jazz with the

535
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: worst record. My man TK goes with the Thunder and

536
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: your reasoning. They're gonna push all in for Victor wemenyama

537
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: Oka see a very respectable forty and forty two, like

538
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: a really good year. And now now, I wait, do

539
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: you see us getting into the start of this season.

540
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of talk about like how

541
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: good they could be. Maybe they're like a top five,

542
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: top four team in the West. But yeah, Pacers, Jazz

543
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: and Thunder for the worst record, we we botched that one.

544
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 4: They were like the best stories of last season inspired

545
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 4: them from worst record to best story in the league.

546
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: But yeah, coming into last season, chat Holme Grinn. We

547
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 4: knew he was gonna be out for the thunder shake

548
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 4: Gil just Alexander had maybe sprained an ankle right before

549
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 4: training camps started. They had shut him down midway through

550
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: the season the previous two years. I was like, it's

551
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 4: gonna happen again. That's just a thunder style here. They're

552
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: gonna go for VIC. They didn't go for VIC. They

553
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: had a great year.

554
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, we were just straight up wrong on that one.

555
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: I guess. Look, I threw a wild card worst team

556
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: in the mix. At the end, I said the Hornets,

557
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: the Hornets are going to be bad. They were. I

558
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: remember we pounded the under on there over under. They

559
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: finished twenty seven and fifty five, and they were bad

560
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: and got the number two pick. And we'll see if

561
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: they get any better with mister Beast feastables.

562
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chest getting a jersey sponsor. That's amazing.

563
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, mister beasts, come on, no dunks, let's talk hoops.

564
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize he was the best.

565
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 4: Maybe just advertising.

566
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: No, I think he is who he said something like

567
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: his you know, his hometown team or Charlotte. I guess

568
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: maybe that's where he's from. Or I don't know if

569
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: that's where he lives, okay, okay, or is that the

570
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: latest room that he's locked himself in or one hundred

571
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: people in. I'm not sure. Anyway, we were wrong about

572
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: that one. What do you got next?

573
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: Okay? Uh hm, I don't know if I want to

574
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: fire this bullet right away, Skeets, but I'm gonna do it.

575
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 4: Our finals picks were all wrong. Yeah, they were all wrong.

576
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: Like I said, we were all high on the Bucks.

577
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: We all took the Bucks to win the finals last year.

578
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: They didn't make it out of the first round. I

579
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: had Bucks over Warriors, task had Bucks over Clippers, and Skeets,

580
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 4: you were the closest. You had the Bucks over the Nuggets. Yeah.

581
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know the Bucks. They had won a

582
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: championship a couple of years prior. We knew that Chris

583
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: Middleton had been injured in the previous playoffs. He was

584
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 4: coming back. They had the continuity. They were just running

585
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: it back. They were good during the regular season. You know,

586
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: they finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference.

587
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: Easy to forget now, and we just thought it would

588
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: kind of be Bucks time all over again. Uh. It

589
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 4: was not the case. Then they had an embarrassing postseason.

590
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: NBA Finals prediction as a question in these shows is

591
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: always my least favorite question we have. It's so I mean,

592
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: it's just so silly. So much can change. Uh, And

593
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, who was good last year and who's

594
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: still got a good team? And I'll go with them? Yeah,

595
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean I felt good about having the Nuggets at

596
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: least there. But yeah, we all had Giannis for finals MVP.

597
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: We all had the Bucks, like you said, and we

598
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: were all wrong. They make the second round, we look

599
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: like fools. But now they got Dami, so now they're laughing.

600
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: So will we do it again?

601
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably a lot of people will probably have them there.

602
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: They will probably have Bucks over Nuggets. That'll probably be

603
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: the a lot of people's prediction.

604
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: That might be the consensus Bucks.

605
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: I guess. All right, next one for me? Where do

606
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: I go here? I'm gonna go with surprise playoff team.

607
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 2: We were wrong a lot about this, uh Tass and myself.

608
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 2: I remember talking them up a ton, the Blazers. We

609
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 2: had the Blazers as a surprise playoff team tasks. He

610
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: had less conviction than I did. I was really in

611
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: on them. No, now I will say the Bliezers started

612
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: nineteen and seventeen, okay, and then they had a five

613
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: game losing streak and then just the you know, the

614
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: wheels fell off. This this team they were shutting down Dame.

615
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: It was you know, obviously turned into a mess. But

616
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: they got the number three pick and they get screwed.

617
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 2: But they finished thirty three and forty nine. I thought

618
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: I thought they'd be a playoff team. I thought they

619
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: least be in the play in and they weren't even there.

620
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: So me and Task both had that and then you,

621
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe this one when I like went back

622
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: and listened, you had the Wizards. The Wizards over the

623
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: Knicks or the Knicks maybe is not the crazy part

624
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: as a potential play in that was your call. I

625
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: was like, you must have been one of the only

626
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: people out there, like sort of having some faith in

627
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: the Washington was like Joe, like Joe House probably couldn't

628
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: even believe in the Wizards as much as you did.

629
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I love Kuzma, Yeah, yeah, I got

630
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: a soft spot for Porzingis Bradley be supposed to be

631
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 4: a player? Hey, they were only five games out of

632
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 4: the ten seed skeat's not that crazy.

633
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: Oh, actually it's is that it really only.

634
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: Five games out? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean thirty five

635
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 4: and forty seven, pretty far under five hundred, but still

636
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: competitive until the very end.

637
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: Feels like you were hating on the Knicks, maybe heading

638
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: into me. No, no, no, that couldn't be me saying

639
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Tim's is gonna be fired, the Wizards are gonna be better.

640
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: I got a jover for.

641
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: The Nicks, all right, So we were wrong when it

642
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: came to a lot of those surprise playoff teams. I

643
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: also threw in the Kings obviously as one, and so

644
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: we got that one right, all right, Final one here,

645
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: final worst prediction in our draft.

646
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be a GM because I said that Buddy Healed,

647
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: Miles Turner, and Jordan Clarkson would all be traded. Those

648
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 4: are the stars that are going to be traded. They

649
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: were in like every rumor, and then Turner got a

650
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 4: new deal, Clarkson got a new deal. Buddy Healed has

651
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 4: not yet. He's still in trade rumors right now. But

652
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: that guy's always going to be in trade rumor. So

653
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: whift on those three and completely whipped on my under

654
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: the radar move John Walder the Clippers. I was just

655
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: excited to see him come back. They needed a point guard.

656
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 4: You know, he was leaving Houston after a tumultuous tenure

657
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: there where they basically sent him away from the team.

658
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 4: Thirty four games for John wall and he's out of

659
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: the league right now. Is that right? I don't think

660
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: he has a team really.

661
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that's unfortunate.

662
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 4: That's too bad.

663
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: That was under the radar.

664
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: So he said, yeah, that was my under the radar hit.

665
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: This was under the radar that much.

666
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: YEA.

667
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: All right, to wrap up our worst picks here, I'm

668
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: going to draft specifically me because I really swerved on

669
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: this one. When will Lebron break the all time scoring record?

670
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: It was interesting to hear everybody's prediction. You had January

671
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: thirty first at Madison Square Garden in the fourth quarter.

672
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: You were getting very specific. Task went right before the

673
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: All Star break. He went February fifteenth. Now he was

674
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: really the closest, I would say in the end, and

675
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: I swerved and I said, nah, it's gonna happen after

676
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: the All Star break. I don't think he's even gonna

677
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: get there to the total points because he'll miss games

678
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Lebron did it on February eighth

679
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: at home versus the thunder so Times was a week off.

680
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys, were you guys split the difference?

681
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: We were right in predicting that Kareem Abdul Jabbar would

682
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: be there. That was the topic. Is he gonna travel raleic?

683
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: How are they gonna do that? He was there?

684
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: He was there.

685
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: They had that one right. So I was like, I

686
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: remember saying, nah, after the All Star break.

687
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 4: After the All Star break, did anybody predict that Thomas

688
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 4: Bryant would be posting up as Lebron took his fade away.

689
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: Give me the Ball? No, nobody mentioned that. Did you

690
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: have anything else?

691
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's a couple that I felt bad about. I said,

692
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: we'd only have forty six wedgies. Yeah, you went really

693
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 4: so pessimistic. Man, I was either gonna go sixty two

694
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: or forty six. That was my number. That sixty two

695
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 4: would have been awesome, But that was just because Aaron

696
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: Judge was sucking dingers at the time. We got the

697
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: fifty eight. Come on, man, forty six. Have some faith

698
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: in yourself.

699
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I at least went fifty JD. Went

700
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: fifty two and Tassie you know he aimed for the stars.

701
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: He won sixty.

702
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was the closest fifty. Ye, you gotta do it.

703
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: We had fifty three in the regular season, two in

704
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: the play in tournament, three in the playoffs. That's how

705
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: you get to fifty eight.

706
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 4: Not bad, Yeah, not bad, Petch.

707
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: So you know you're definitely you're tipping your hand. You're

708
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: gonna go over forty six, You're gonna probably go over fifty.

709
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 4: I was you gotta at least pick over fifty. Yeah.

710
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: Otherwise it's like it's like betting the under. Like I

711
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 4: remember Joe Mandy, what's a what's the bet you making?

712
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: When you're playing crops? It's like there's like the cum

713
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: line or something like that, but there's like the do

714
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: not come line, which is the complete opposite where you're

715
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 4: like rooting against people to fail. That's what that bet

716
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: feels like. If you bet, if you guess under fifty,

717
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: just loser mentality. And here's another couple of l's that

718
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: I noticed watching these back. We never did dog Fridays.

719
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: During the Friday episode, part five, Hazel was like wandering

720
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 4: around and we were like we were loopy from recording

721
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 4: so much, and we were like petting her, she was

722
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 4: walking through. We were showing her on camera, like we

723
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: just have dogs in here every Friday.

724
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: We never did it, man, how about formal dog Fridays.

725
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: Put Hazel in a suit and let her wander around.

726
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: I mean, why not, right, put like a little tray on.

727
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: Her back, and put the champagne on her back and

728
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: have her, you know, come around, give us a drink.

729
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 3: I've gotten very used to dealing with animals because now

730
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 3: that Matt is living with his girlfriend, when we do,

731
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: is this good? He's got a goddamn menagerie around him.

732
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: There's cats and dogs everywhere, So why not?

733
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: I know, Maddio's coming here to Atlanta. Yeah, and he

734
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: usually can't stay with us because he's allergic to dogs.

735
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: But he's taken all these injections and all these uh

736
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: these needles and stuff medicine. I guess, I don't know,

737
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: and he says I'm good to go, and maybe just

738
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: living with a dog now he's built up his immune systems.

739
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: Luna's pumps very cool.

740
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: The other thing I was disappointed at is nobody ever

741
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 4: got the name Meatball.

742
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: Say this, Yeah, well, these were some funny nicknames that

743
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: we were trying to force on people. That was a

744
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: question we always do, which player needs a nickname? Jalen Bunch,

745
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: excuse me, task went, Jalen Brunson needs to be called

746
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: the Rock. Just still really like that's good. It's good.

747
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: I know we already had the Rock Mitch Richmond, who

748
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: is not a fan of us. We'll tell that story

749
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: some other day. Trey, though, you wanted to remove the

750
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: unicorn from Kristaps Porzingis and call him high quality horse.

751
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: I burst out loud, rewatching it high quality horse. I

752
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: want to make this a thing like he's on a

753
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 2: new team. I like that he's in a big market

754
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: in Boston. Maybe he could struggle. We're calling him high

755
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 2: quality horses. No, no, yeah, I love that. And then

756
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: I went with Scotty Barnes needing a nickname. A lot

757
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 2: of Scotti beans. Scotti too Hotty Barney, I don't know,

758
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, you wanted to name someone Meatball, which no

759
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: one got.

760
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 4: Nobody got Meatball. It was considered for a Jalen Brunson

761
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: as well. But I agree that Rock is really good.

762
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: So year two, we'll see who it is.

763
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 2: Speaking of nicknames, Media Day DeAndre Ayton. Did you see

764
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: what he said? I bring dominance. My name is domin Eaton.

765
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that as a nickname?

766
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 4: I think if he keeps saying it, it might become true skates.

767
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: That's one of those ones that sounds bad and actually

768
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 2: looks bad. I'm like, looking at it on my screen.

769
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: I don't even like how it looks.

770
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: With the capital A in the middle of it as well. Yeah, yeah,

771
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think you gotta wait for somebody

772
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 4: to give you that specific nickname. No hating on Dean Drayton.

773
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: That sounds that sort of catchy, Okay, right there? Anything

774
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: else from your notes?

775
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. The only other one I felt pretty good about

776
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: making predictions wise was I said that massive pants were

777
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 4: gonna be the biggest fashion trend of the year. I

778
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: think it was pretty That was a pretty accurate remember

779
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: like the James Harden cookie Monster Outfitty War. That to

780
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: me was kind of like the point of big pants.

781
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And you know, I'm getting some uh some

782
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: blowback from my from my wife when I'm putting on

783
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: my jeans recently, saying your jeans are too tight. It's

784
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 2: like your jeans are too tight. What you remember, because

785
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: like that was sort of the look for a while.

786
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: Like they don't get me wrong, They're not like super stretch.

787
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: I don't have Jean thought right now jag Man, Yeah,

788
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: slim Jean, yeah exactly. But what's happening is gained weight

789
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: all the running. Like it blows up my calves. It

790
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 2: barely squeezed through the bottom part. And I'm like, it's

791
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: like I was wearing them when we were in Italy.

792
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, God, these are tight, tight jeans.

793
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: What are they wearing in Italy?

794
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: Linen and linen? I'm not going I can't go that far.

795
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, I think I look. I mean, I

796
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: used to wear giant ass pants when I was in

797
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: grade eight, grade nine. Obviously that was the stoguess. We're

798
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: back to that. But I can't do that as a

799
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't do that as a forty

800
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: three man. That feels weird.

801
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: I finally got my pants and they're massive.

802
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: Got your cargoes.

803
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 3: They finally arrived bigger than look like a goddamn skater.

804
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: Boy are they ridiculously big?

805
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 4: Very very cool to see?

806
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: All right? So anyway, what's your thoughts on gigantic pants

807
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: and should I try it out? I mean, you wear

808
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 2: a loose, they're not gigantic. You just wear a loose.

809
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 4: I wear a Yeah, you probably call them a relaxed fit,

810
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 4: but my standard denim. Because I was feeling like you skates.

811
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 4: It's like I just gotta keep flip flopping back and forth.

812
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 4: Skinnies and bits. Nah, get you a pair of Levi's

813
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: five oh ones, the original gene. That's that's the perfect cut.

814
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 4: It's a little wider than a slim league league lega,

815
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 4: but it's also not a big huge leg.

816
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: You just look like a normal pair.

817
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 4: Of jean always be in.

818
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, the classic, and then you just

819
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 2: like wear them, just wear them into the ground, never

820
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 2: wash them. Yeah you're laughing, you're laughing, all right, guys.

821
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: Our actual NBA season preview series that's gonna start on Monday,

822
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: October sixteenth. We are gonna do things a little differently.

823
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a lot of like over unders. We're

824
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 2: gonna do every team. We'll do that and whether we

825
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: like the over or the under, try and give you

826
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: our favorite bets. If you're into that sort of thing.

827
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: We'll do tears we will make predictions when it comes

828
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: to awards and see if Dray can get one right.

829
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, we'll do some of the other fun ones too,

830
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: because I love to have these on the record. But

831
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: let us know what you thought about us going back

832
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 2: and seeing how we did. Let's wrap up this bad

833
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: boy here with some tweet of the night fun.

834
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 3: Tweet O the night.

835
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: Wow, it's still tweeted the night to last. Damn it. Well,

836
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious where I'm going. Yesterday Media Day, Jimmy

837
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 2: Butler won the internet. He shows up the Miami Heat,

838
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: have a video. Nobody does media Day like Jimmy Butler

839
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: does Media Day. And there he is with a brand

840
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: new hairstyle and which I think is getting overlooked a

841
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: lot because everyone's just focusing on the hair. He's got

842
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: the eyebrow piercing. He's got these lips piercings. I guess

843
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: there are they fake. I don't know this guy committed

844
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: to the bit. I have no idea. He nail's painted.

845
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, he's got the black nail polish

846
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 2: on there. So Jerome of course had some fun with this.

847
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: There's emo Jimmy breaking T's already making shirts. There a

848
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: million tweets about it. Our guy Adam Lefko sharing this

849
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 2: tweet Emo Jimmy popping up on all NBA on T

850
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: and T graphics This season will be hilarious with the

851
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: photo of Jimmy. If you remember last year twenty twenty

852
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: two had the long dreads. I think even the weirder

853
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: party had no facial hair. That part looked so strange

854
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: to me. And those photos were used in you know,

855
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: every NBA YouTube clip, if like Jimmy had a good

856
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 2: game for the heat or you saw in the broadcast.

857
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 2: As Lefko said, so now we're gonna get emo Jimmy.

858
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: Nora couldn't believe it. She's like, what is he doing?

859
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: And I'm like, he's just like this is his Halloween,

860
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: this is like and he's just so committed to the bit.

861
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: It's like, I can't wait to see what he does

862
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: next year.

863
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 4: He was even more committed to the bit this time

864
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: around than he was last year. Last year, he just

865
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 4: showed up with the new look, knowing it was gonna

866
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 4: be used on all of his headshots for the season

867
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,760
Speaker 4: coming this time, he was talking about being in character.

868
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 4: He came in with like an outfit that matched as well.

869
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 4: And I was listening to like every walk in video

870
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 4: of Jimmy just so closely, and he was literally playing

871
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 4: a Fallout Boys song as he walked in My crazy stuff.

872
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: But my question is, like, how long ago did he

873
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: decide on this look? Was it after the Damian Lillard

874
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: trade went down? Because he said when he took the podium,

875
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 4: He's like, this is my emotional state. He could have

876
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 4: just been in character then, like he did he have

877
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: a different idea for what his look was gonna be

878
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 4: if the Lillard trade went through and he was a

879
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 4: happy guy. I don't know, but it's gonna be wild

880
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 4: to be seeing Jimmy Butler with long hair for the

881
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: rest of the season. Every time they show up. You

882
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 4: can't even see one of his eyes.

883
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a good point. Yes, he had that

884
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: video where he was like calling out the Bucks for tampering. Yeah,

885
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: he looked like normal Jimmy in that video. But that

886
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: was not that long ago.

887
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 4: So then he does this.

888
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: There was a video going around like he's standing beside

889
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 2: Tyler Hero and Bam and like they cannot even take

890
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: him seriously and like his like, uh, you know, makeup

891
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: artists or hair artist is up like combing his hair,

892
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 2: like he's just standing there so stoic, like he's so

893
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: committed to the bit. Uh, what's he gonna do next year?

894
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: Is like my where my my? My mind immediately went

895
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm like mohawk was super punk, Like I was like,

896
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 2: we're bold.

897
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 4: What some year he's got to like shave his face

898
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 4: and shave his head look completely different. I don't like

899
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 4: when he's got the facial hair, Yeah, that looks way different,

900
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 4: Like maybe he could try them mister t mohawk or

901
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 4: something like that. But it does feel like he's going

902
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 4: to continue to do this, and I'm glad somebody finally

903
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: cracked the code he used to be. Somebody sent us

904
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 4: a message saying, remember when Steven Adams grew a mustache

905
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: as a flex for Media Day and it was like,

906
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 4: this is hilarious. Jimmy has taken it to the next level,

907
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 4: and then this year to get to yet another level.

908
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 4: So I wonder if anybody will ever start joining in

909
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: on this trend.

910
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 2: Hey, good call on some of the guys, specially Adams

911
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 2: growing mustaches. Because I was getting into an argument with

912
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: Nora about that. She's like so what's he doing? And

913
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I don't know. He's just being silly

914
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: and he knows it'll get a reaction. Okay. She's like, well,

915
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: other people must have done this, and I'm like, nobody's

916
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 2: done this. She's like, in the history of basketball, nobody

917
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: showed up looking silly for media day. I'm like, I

918
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: was like, no, nobody has, Like nobody does this. Why

919
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: would you do that? But I had forgotten that. I mean,

920
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 2: I guess a mustache is like a lower level version

921
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: of this.

922
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 4: It's a lower level version of this. But then Steven

923
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 4: Adams just started having a mustard.

924
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

925
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 4: So like if this becomes Jimmy's permanent look, I guess

926
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 4: it's similar.

927
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean, this would be see this, like, if he's

928
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 2: really committed to the bit, he's got to keep this

929
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 2: for opening night or opening week. Like, play in that

930
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: haircut would be so funny. Like it's one thing in photos,

931
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: it's one thing in videos talking to whoever, like whatever

932
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: media personality. It would be next level. If he plays

933
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: with this haircut.

934
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 4: That would be next level. I don't did he even

935
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 4: play any games last year with longer I don't think

936
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 4: even in preseason. I don't think think so but smart

937
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: stuff by Jimmy Butler, because I think what this really

938
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 4: is is obfuscation. All the talk after Miami Heat Media

939
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 4: Day is Jimmy Butler's new look, not them striking out

940
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 4: on Damian Lillard and Drew Holliday. That's how you changed

941
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: the narrative, change the harative.

942
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: Oh whoo, man, you thought ballow Boy was good. I

943
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 2: thought deathtab for Coffee was gonna change the haredive as

944
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 2: he just did. That's awesome, good stuff. Any of their

945
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: thoughts on media day. I mean, like I always like,

946
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 2: I'm like, it is an insane day. Like there's so

947
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: much silliness. It's a great dave to be on Twitter,

948
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: slash x whatever, because you're seeing funny photos and little

949
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: dumb videos they make them do. And there's a clip

950
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: of Damian Lillard saying O G trolled him by texting

951
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: him just as a joke and he was all confused.

952
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: But you know, at the same time, it's just a

953
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: lot of like, hey, we're excited about this season, said

954
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 2: about the team we got blah blah blah blah blah.

955
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: So you know, people just go through the motions. But

956
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 2: anything else you wanted to point out.

957
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: I mean, biggest story was Harden no showing. I guess

958
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 4: it was a question of if he would show up.

959
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 4: And then the seventy six ers are now off to

960
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 4: Colorado for their training camp, Like they just had media

961
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 4: Day and now they're doing training camp out there. There's

962
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 4: the big CBA clause about if he doesn't report for

963
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 4: thirty days they can keep out a free agency. Blah

964
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: blah blah blah blah. Just goes to show things are

965
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 4: still awkward. Yeah, in Philadelphia, a lot of questions still

966
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 4: to be answered there. But I did see a few

967
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 4: things that I liked in media Day. I saw Kyrie

968
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 4: Irving was talking about his new celebration the bus driver.

969
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 4: When he puts somebody on skates, he's gonna act like

970
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 4: he's putting on a seat belt, Like he's like, you

971
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 4: know how Aaron Rodgers had the discount double check. I'm

972
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: going just putting the kids on the bus taking them

973
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 4: to school. Okay, pretty cool. Actually, I was like, that's

974
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 4: a nice one.

975
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: I sort of got to see it, you know, in action,

976
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: but you know, I did see the clip of him

977
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: doing then I saw him on a camel. I forgot

978
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: that they were in n Abu Dhabi. Oh right, yeah,

979
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: I think it's MAVs and Wolves. I think over there, Yeah, okay, okay,

980
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: Devin Booker was wearing Chucks first picture, brand new shoes,

981
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: brand new shoes coming out. Drake's the only one that

982
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: wears them.

983
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 4: Though, weird, but also cool and very funny to see,

984
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 4: Like alongside Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, there's a guy

985
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 4: wearing shoes that came out in the nineteenth fie Pies,

986
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 4: Chris Paul in a Warrior's jersey. Odd, odd, odd, I

987
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 4: have to say. And then I just thought the Warriors

988
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 4: had a weird media day in general, like every video

989
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,240
Speaker 4: of them that they showed their like like Curry putting

990
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: and there's like five guys around him, Like, ah, the

991
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 4: Warriors one was crazy, man, Warriors one was crazy. But yeah,

992
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 4: what else stuck out to you?

993
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: Uh yo? Kids showing up like anyone actually going back

994
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: to a normal job, hands and she gets good tuck

995
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: the worst day, you know, just had a great vacation

996
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: and he's coming back to the office like literally, just

997
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 2: I love that.

998
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seemed like he was most excited to talk

999
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 4: about doing a flip like he did a flip off

1000
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 4: of a canoe or whatever over the summer. Yeah, checked

1001
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 4: this out. That was pretty sick. That was funny.

1002
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: And then there's a lot of like new jerseys like

1003
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 2: being leaked because they're like doing photo shoots and somebody

1004
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: accidentally puts it on their ig, like Dennis Shrewder. I

1005
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: guess has these has leaked these new Gold Raptors jerseys. Yeah,

1006
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: and then there's a bunch of other ones. Tough to

1007
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 2: keep up, but I'm sure we'll have more content around it,

1008
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: at least shorts or we'll just do a podcast later

1009
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: this week rounding them up because they're just coming fast

1010
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: and furious. They're like, oh the Kings have a new one. Oh,

1011
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: this team's got a new one. Oh this is new one.

1012
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's really all I got. Again, it's a

1013
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: lot of just silly stuff. Yeah, fun quotes. I went

1014
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 2: to Hawk's media day. Everything was about playing selfless this

1015
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: upcoming season. Quinn Snyder was talking about defense is a decision.

1016
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: If you don't play defense, you're not going to play.

1017
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised to hear him say that

1018
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: he never he hadn't had a chance to put in

1019
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: his system at all. Last year taken over with the

1020
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 2: Hawks about halfway through, so they're expecting better things. But

1021
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: my favorite thing I heard was from DeAndre Hunter. Somebody

1022
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: asked him about like workout videos that he put out

1023
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 2: over the summer, So, so would you work on I

1024
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 2: didn't work on anything.

1025
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,479
Speaker 4: He was joking, but he's like such a low key guy.

1026
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 4: I felt like, oh, what what anything?

1027
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 2: Well, that's it. Hey, look it works for your kitchen. Yeah,

1028
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 2: doesn't barely touched the ball. Just flipping horses and dancing

1029
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: on tables and flipping that's all I did. I'm gonna

1030
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: go win MVP probably all right. So yeah, Hawks thing

1031
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: was fine, just fine.

1032
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was cool. Guys are all in. Yeah, big

1033
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 4: year coming up, big year coming up. Everybody said to

1034
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 4: see John Collins go, but they're excited.

1035
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1036
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard him call out, uh, kind of call

1037
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 4: out the Hawks for being selfish. There's a selfish talk

1038
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 4: around the league. Yeah.

1039
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,919
Speaker 2: The Raptors had a whole thing going on about that too.

1040
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: Raptors had a I would say, surprisingly contentious media day,

1041
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 4: or more contentious than you would expect.

1042
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 2: At the very least. Yeah, maybe because it was like

1043
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 2: what Massaia was saying and then Siaka being asked about

1044
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: those comments, and it's like getting a little defensive, but yeah,

1045
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: that's weird.

1046
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: That's hard. That's why when people are like, hopefully they

1047
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 4: get this deal done for any team, like, hopefully they

1048
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 4: get this deal done before media day starts, because that

1049
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 4: starts your season off just on a really weird note. Sure,

1050
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 4: and that was the case for a lot of teams, Sixers,

1051
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess the Hawks a little bit, the

1052
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 4: Raptors as well. But if you go into the season

1053
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,359
Speaker 4: and you're having to answer questions about things that went poorly, like,

1054
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 4: that's not the way to start, that's not the way

1055
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 4: to build enthusiasm for an upcoming season.

1056
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: Well, you're walking into the snake pit too. You got

1057
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of media's reporters like chomping at the bit

1058
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: because they've been dying ask all these questions. They want

1059
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,479
Speaker 2: to come out guns blazon and say all right, yeah,

1060
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: what about this comment? What about this? And then it's like, oh,

1061
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: people get their backs up against the wall. Things get misinterpreted,

1062
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: and you're right, it can oddly like start your season

1063
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 2: for your team or your locker room poorly. But we'll

1064
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 2: see when they get onto the court. We'll call it there. Though, guys,

1065
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 2: us know your favorite media day moment. Our guy Jerome

1066
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: did a fun little package, a little short that we

1067
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 2: put up. Yees Soday knocked that one out of the park,

1068
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: so go check that out. I'm gonna be back here

1069
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: tomorrow in the Classic Factory at eight fifteen in the morning.

1070
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: You know why. Why because I'm subbing in for Tassi

1071
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: to talk a little baseball No Buns. Who my guy,

1072
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 2: Joel McMillan. I'm gonna try my best to fill those

1073
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 2: big cleats of tasks, but I guess we got the

1074
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 2: Wildcard games starting like in mere hours here, four games

1075
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,520
