30
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,560

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: right off the jump. We were doing I guess once

Speaker 3: a week just to start with. So, yeah, you're right.

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: I think it was maybe the second or third episode.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: Crazy Kobe went for eighty one against our raptors, and

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120

51
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,560

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,400

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: we won't get to absolutely every big performance or you know,

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,800

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: streak when we get to losers. I'm sorry, that's just

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: the way it is. We got a sixty to ninety

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: minutes here to talk and well we're probably gonna go

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. Being honest, we'll do twenty minutes on our

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: big road trip. And that's the real winner of the weekend. Lee,

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: we missed you, I gotta say, but the three of

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: us an our buddy Grish. It's not my buddy Gresh,

63
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: not his hours. We made the trip to Memphis to

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: watch the Bulls play the Grizzlies there yesterday on MLK Day.

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: Turns out it's long drive from Miles of Bridges.

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: I was scouring about that cheap flight. Actually, I mean

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: next time.

68
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: We're doing overfly. Yeah, it's like a forty five minute flight. Yeah,

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: and what type of deals were you getting there?

70
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: One hundred bucks three? Yeah, Well it's the thing. What

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do, right is buy one way to Memphis,

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: and they get someone from Memphis to buy one way

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: to with Lanny, you might be able to get.

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 2: To the system of the return flight.

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. The worst part, that's it. It's one hundred dollars

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: to get there, but it's like three hundred and fifty returns.

77
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

79
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: Anyway, well, you would have missed out on the you know,

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: the joy of a of a long road trip.

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, one way is fine. You didn't want to come

82
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: back the same day. I'm like, I don't know if

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna you know, how long did it type?

84
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: He was a damn trooper, man, we did it was

85
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: like a six it's basically a six hour Yeah, if

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: it's a five and a half six hour drive, we

87
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: made it longer. On the way there, people saying it's

88
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: a one road shot to Memphis.

89
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 4: It turns out it's a three road shot to Memphis.

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: But you know, you gotta go west at Birmingham as

91
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: they say.

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: It is one road. I'm not sure why they changed

93
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: the numbers of the highway. All of a sudden we

94
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: screwed up on the way there.

95
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Now, well, I mean, look, it's got to go a

97
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: little bit to the driver, but also the you know,

98
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: the path.

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was cocky. I was cocky. I just

100
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: don't know why the highway numbers changed.

101
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, logically, Wait, we got to basically Birmingham on our

102
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: drive to Memphis, which is where you go. Yeah, and

103
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: then yeah, you're supposed to then really start going a

104
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: little bit north to go west, and we just continued.

105
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: We continued a little too far south, still going west,

106
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: but yeah, we had it about a hour tour. We weren't.

107
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: Okay, can you imagine what we would have been like

108
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: if we were in an electric vehicle in that scenario

109
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: having missed it, we were saying the.

110
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Who whole time? Oh I love twenty I don't love

111
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: twenty Twenty's fine, twenty that's great.

112
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 4: Right, I'm gonna tell Birmingham, but there you're gonna launch

113
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: your twenty two once you get there. We also had

114
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: a great moment when we finally found twenty two again.

115
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: Getting closer into Memphis, we saw the east pass. It

116
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 4: by the west was right there, and we had the

117
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 4: literal swerving off a highway meeting.

118
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: Got there, smooth, let's drive right.

119
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Now, got there, Got there. I just wanted you guys

120
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: to have the electric car experience by adding that forty

121
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: five to fifty minute charge right slash.

122
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: We didn't do that. No, so rather than charge you

123
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: just take take the scenic route.

124
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: But it was sort of brilliant going the wrong way

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: going to Memphis, adding at least an hour to our

126
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: commute because.

127
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: On the way home fifty we flew home.

128
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, took the right way home. It was easy.

129
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: Are they still doing roadwork about an how and a

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: half out? Because I know we went up driven out

131
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: to Alabama. There's always road work out there, and I'm like,

132
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to run into that when you've got

133
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: a bit of a tight time limit.

134
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: That on our way home we had some roadwork. We

135
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: had some trucks flashing each other. Oh yeah.

136
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Also we got to say we got speeding tickets like that.

137
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: Why we were trying to make up some time. Yeah,

138
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 3: I mean we were going to miss the game. Get close,

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: That's all part of it. Yeah.

140
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: It's a great UH State patrolman though, a real he's

141
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: a real Southern lawyer.

142
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: If we got all Salesgan.

Speaker 2: and the arena and the fans and all that stuff.

156
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,040

Speaker 1: This is just a it's a special time. Even as

159
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: a person who's been doing a basketball podcast for sixteen years,

160
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: there is this short period. He's twenty two years of age,

161
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: he is on the rise. This is there's only one

162
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: point where you can experience this type of Ja Morant

163
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: and to see it in person. Even though it wasn't

164
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: a particularly amazing Jah Morant game, right, there were special

165
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: moments where he did those those couple of layups when

166
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: he gets into the lane and we had a great view.

167
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Our vantage point was pretty great, just a little bit up,

168
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of behind the hoop in the corner

169
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of the tunnel pretty much where the exit tunnel is

170
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: to have a direct line to the key where he's

171
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: able to you know, he's going north south and then

172
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he goes east west in a

173
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: matter of you know, just a milliseconds, and it's an

174
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: incredible thing to watch from that bat vantage point. He's

175
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: just so special. What I desire is to see replays

176
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: of his footwork, you know, when he's going norself and

177
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: then he goes east west, the feet light up like

178
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: where his footprints are. That's what I want because I

179
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: think that's what I want to watch. That is it

180
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: is so beautiful. And then to see that spin move

181
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: in person.

182
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: It made it worth it because the game, you know,

183
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: the Grizzly is like we'll get to the Bulls performance. Yeah,

184
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: it was over in a hurry and they poured it on,

185
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: but then we got the Steven Adams to the Bradley thing.

186
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: You know, talking about footprints, there was no footprints for

187
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: Tony Bradley carrying them there in the sand. But then yeah,

188
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: we got the jama Ran play, which was what really

189
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: you're hoping for. And he is on the short list

190
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: of like players in the league that you should I mean, look,

191
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: if you've got the money, you should go see them

192
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: in person. You should experience that. It's like a handful

193
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: of guys. It's just it's sort of better. It's a

194
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: different experience seeing them in person. Yeah, it was awesome.

195
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: I went to bed with like a grin on my

196
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: face just trying to think, have I ever seen a

197
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 4: move like like an ooh and ah move? Is cool

198
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: as the jaw three sixty layup because like you're saying, task,

199
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: we had the perfect angle for that one with the

200
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: way the lane had split open and he got the

201
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 4: finish up to the rim. It looked better from where

202
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: we were sitting that on the broadcast, No offense, suckers.

203
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: It definitely did.

204
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: It because I rewatched it obviously a million times since then.

205
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: But I've got like only one that's even close to

206
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: Like I saw a Lebron game his rookie year. He

207
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: caught the ball on the sideline and put it behind

208
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: his back before he like hit the ground. It was

209
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: super cool back then. But like to see a three

210
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: sixty layup like, well, you know, you can see a

211
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 4: game winner, you can see a sixty point game. But

212
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: to see a move that like literally leaves the crowd

213
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: ooing an eye that felt special to me. So yeah,

214
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: totally worth worth the price of admission, which for us

215
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: was a seven hour drive.

216
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: There and a five hour drive back. But it was awesome.

217
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: I will tell you. Perhaps the most humiliating thing in

218
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 4: the world is when your team keeps missing shots and

219
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies u PA announcer or the music just plays nope, yeah,

220
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 4: oh my goodness. Every time my man Boots would go for.

221
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: A shot, bricket, Nope. I'll just come on, guys, that

222
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: you're killing me here.

223
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: No great, Well, yeah, I started watching it. It was

224
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: tied there, and then the Grizzlies went on like a

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: sixteen oh run in the second quarter and sort of

226
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: that was it really, wasn't it. I Mean the Bulls

227
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: never really got close after that, so you are hoping

228
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: for that memorable moment and you got it there late

229
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: there from jar So yeah, it would have been fun

230
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: to be there. Wish I was there. Wish I could

231
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 3: have made it, but unfortunately I have to wait till

232
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: March eighteen. I think he's in Atlanta.

233
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: There you go.

234
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you'll be down at the Fortress hopefully for

235
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 2: that one.

236
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: I think so fish.

237
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Any other you know, just random observations from either the

238
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: game or the experience.

239
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: Go ahead, try from the game.

240
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're saying, skeets it was. The game was

241
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: over in the fourth quarter.

242
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: The Balls made a little fake run to get it

243
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 4: to like fifteen with a few minutes left. Jo really

244
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: shut the door, but they put in the garbage time lineup.

245
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: Eventually got a huge John Conchard doctor. I was happy

246
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: to see. I thought Jaron Jackson Junior played a really

247
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 4: solid game.

248
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Five blocks.

249
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: He was scoring on the block.

250
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't scoring a ton, but every time

251
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: they dumped it down to him he would get a

252
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: pretty good shot. He had a huge dunk left handed.

253
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: I remember looking up several times during the game. The

254
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: Grizzlies will put up hustle stats is what it said,

255
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 4: and it was like second chance points offensive rebounds, both

256
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: offensive rebounds and second chance points because sometimes you grab them,

257
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: you don't make up the turnovers, points off turnovers, assists,

258
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: three pointers maybe, And the Grizzlies led in every single

259
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: category for at least the entire second half. And I

260
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: was like, well, that seems to make sense. Because the

261
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 4: Bulls couldn't throw a pass across the lane without it

262
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: getting stolen. It was either Jaron Jackson Junior or one

263
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 4: of the five Kyle Anderson's getting their hand on every

264
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: single ball. All of the bigs for the Grizzlies I

265
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: thought were awesome, Like Steven Adams was really setting the

266
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: tone inside. Jaron Jackson Junior, like I said, had a

267
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 4: great game. Brandon Clark was solid with his energy whenever

268
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 4: he came in. He had a huge dunk in the fourth.

269
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Quarter as well.

270
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: They got the crowd really jazzed up. And Kyle Anderson

271
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 4: was great defensively as well. So I thought we saw

272
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: the perfect GrITT and grind kind of game from the Grizzlies.

273
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: It was a smash. It ended up being a blow

274
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: out unfortunately, Yeah, because the hustle stats were with the Grizzlies,

275
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: and I think if you're going to be even the

276
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: slightest of pestmos with the Grizzlies, even though you can

277
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: really only be an optimist. Maybe that's where things could

278
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: go a little bit haywire in the playoffs because the

279
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: effort level of the other team will be matched, will

280
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: be matching this Grizzlies team that that kicks ass in transition,

281
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: that just does the dirty work. You know, they're so

282
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: good offensively on the boards. Maybe that gets matched in

283
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs a little bit, and in that transition, the

284
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: defense won't be you know that that won't go south

285
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But Jared Jackson Junior was so good

286
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: to block two two balls in transition like that, two

287
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: shots and transis and that doesn't happen very He was

288
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: really really impressive on that end. And yeah, it was

289
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: good to see him in person, and to see Desmond

290
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Bine in person, I mean him and him. The guns are, Yeah,

291
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: they are. And as you've said, the vibes are immaculated.

292
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: With the team.

293
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: Was it the Grizzlies. I think the team tweeted that

294
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: the vibes are immaculated. I'm not sure if it was

295
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: them or not.

296
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: I think they have in the past. Yeah, sure, and

297
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: it's true. I mean, you've been to the FedEx forum.

298
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: It does.

299
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you said the other day task without having

300
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: ever been there yet, You're like, it does have a

301
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: college vibe to it. I think that's fair. It's not

302
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: a big arena, you know, the concourse isn't that big.

303
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: It's fairly needed. I guess at this point it's fine.

304
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: It looks so, yeah, it does the trick. But it's like,

305
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: I like, how like just sort of like on top

306
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: of each other is what it felt like.

307
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 3: I mean those Grizzlies in the playoffs from the Zach

308
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: Randolph days. Yeah, those games were always a tough, tough

309
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: place to win. Yeah, you know packed environment. Was it

310
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: packed there yesterday?

311
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: It was pretty Yeah?

312
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, so it is it is

313
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: a home game for that. Yeah, it's a good home

314
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: court advantage that they have there, especially when they're winning

315
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: right now. And I mean everyone does look like they

316
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 3: just really enjoy playing with each other, yeah, watching them.

317
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 3: So this is a great surprise run that the Grizzlies

318
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: have been on.

319
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: The Only thing else I'll add shout out to the

320
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: no Dunks fans in attendance. You know, they're repping pretty

321
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: strong and a wedge sure, no dun shirt and everybody

322
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: like saying, what's up to us. I was really nice

323
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: of you all. And then the barbecue nachos rendezvous. It

324
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: came recommended by a couple of people on Twitter and

325
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: lived up to the hype. Great. I mean not the

326
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: healthiest obviously, but full pork cheese nachos. This like sort

327
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: of sweet but spicy barbecues.

328
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

329
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: But see, you're traveling rules go out the window. Did

330
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: you go to beal straight because it's right thick?

331
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: Well, we did not have a lot of time to

332
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: do anything else. We did zero walking in driving.

333
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: I would say our biggest non basketball success was BUCkies

334
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 4: on the way home.

335
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

336
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: Honestly, you hear a lot about like a fast food

337
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 4: place or a gas station. You're like, oh, this is

338
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: the coolest thing ever, And to me, it never lives

339
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: up to the hype until BUCkies. Yep, you know, I

340
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: looked it up on the phone. We found the one

341
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: in Leads, Alabama. We were gonna be pushing it gas

342
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: wise to get there. Task is throwing it into new

343
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: roll down the head to save the gas so we

344
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: can put her in.

345
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: Because we knew there were one hundred and twenty filling

346
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: stations and Bucky's literally a hot twenty.

347
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: This Paula's insane. This was massive.

348
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: We went in. We could have been there for an hour,

349
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: just like walking around the damn Walmart basically, but for

350
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: cars and gas.

351
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they had a cook there making food at

352
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: ten pm and.

353
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: Ten pm we had a brisky.

354
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: I guess there's a lot of trucks and things going

355
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: through everybody. Yeah, it's it's the Buckley Statue around there

356
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: in Leeds, Alabama.

357
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: Probably.

358
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could have. You could have when we were driving,

359
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: you could have made the oh no, I wanted to

360
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: go this way now you're coming home? Actually yeah, yeah,

361
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: to get home at that point.

362
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, show in the morning. It was a lot of fun. Again,

363
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: shout out to the not Dunks fans in Memphis and

364
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: we will be back to Yeah, try and experience Beal Street.

365
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: I guess you got a chance to do the last time. Yeah, yeah,

366
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: last time I was there, I did right by right,

367
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. Yeah, And that sort of is one of

368
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: those like it's it's a bit like touristy, but there's

369
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: so many great you know, barbecue and things like that

370
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: that memes is known for us. So yeah, great, Okay,

371
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: what clips did you get up?

372
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: You got the jum around three sixty, did you put

373
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: up the Steven Adams Everyone.

374
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: Had a bit.

375
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: What an awesome moment. That was hilarious. Stony Bradley six eleven,

376
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: probably two sixty like that, and a little bit of

377
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: a scuffle there at the end of the game. Stephen

378
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Adams goes into separate then just says, all right, I'm

379
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: taking you like a five year old Steven at tantrum

380
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: and he's like, we're going home right now. And Steven

381
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: Adams because he got a foul on an end one

382
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: I think it was from Desumu at one point and

383
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: it was like one of those ones. It could have

384
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: been a dangerous play, but Steven Adams doesn't take offence

385
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: to anything. He's given him a high five.

386
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: Adams was probably like got beaten up by his like

387
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: every day.

388
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: Well he was like the seventeenth in the family or

389
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: something like that. So yeah, what a great guy. I

390
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: had a good game.

391
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the best Steven Adams game I've seen

392
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: a lot time. He was just super energetic, trying to

393
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: show Billy done and I think what he used to be.

394
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: All Right, well that's enough on the Grizzlies. We'll unfortunately

395
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: touch on the balls. A little bit later we get

396
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: two losers of the long NBA weekend. But Lee, let's

397
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: go to you next, who's your MLKD winner or again

398
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: you can extend it through the weekend.

399
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: Well, Timing is everything, and Darius Garland over this last

400
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: week may have may have ended the debate as to

401
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 3: whether or not he's going to the All Star Game.

402
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: I think probably, well does Jared Allen.

403
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's the thing is it's now is it two.

404
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: Counts or one? Because Darius Garland, especially over the weekend

405
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 3: the Friday, Saturday and Monday, was incredible. Yesterday he was

406
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: fantastic in the fourth quarter out Kyrie Irving, Kyrie Irving

407
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: there for the Brooklyn nets with some of his moves there.

408
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to go specifically actually the Saturday night against

409
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: the OKC thunder and a game the CAAs were down

410
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: at halftime. In the third quarter, they had thirteen field

411
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: goals Cleveland. Darius Garland scored five of them and was

412
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: assisting assisted on the other eight of them in the

413
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: entire quarter. He was incredible. He finished with the career

414
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 3: high eighteen in that game. They got the win. Didn't

415
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: shoot from three all that well, but twenty seven and eighteen,

416
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: yesterday had twenty two and six, and on Friday against

417
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: the Spurs thirty two and eight. Eastern Conference Player of

418
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: the Week. He's been the Calves here have won six

419
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: of their last seven and he is honestly playing just

420
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: so incredibly right now. He's confidence and he's swagger. Is

421
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 3: a swag or swagger his swag whatever, we still use swagger.

422
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: Biope, do you look in the bag?

423
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: His bag is so deep right now. He's flinging one

424
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: handed passes on the baseline, He's getting inside. He had

425
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: an incredible spin move there in himself. Yesterday I said

426
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 3: he was out Kyrie and Kyrie it was just like

427
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 3: a Kyrie Irving. He's got the handles, he gets into

428
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 3: the pain, he doesn't make the move, he spins and

429
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 3: then reverse layups that off the backboard. He was incredible.

430
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: This is another good game. The Nets were leading in

431
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, no Kevin Durant, but even still Darius

432
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: Garland was amazing. So he right now is getting the

433
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: attention of the people he needs to get and that's

434
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 3: the opposing Eastern Conference coaches, and that is I'm certainly

435
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: going to add to his strong case already that he's

436
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 3: going to be an old Star in a few weeks long.

437
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: Do you think he's a lock.

438
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: I think they are up to fourth in the Eastern

439
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Conference right now, and I know it's a huge jumble

440
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: between one and eight and nine and ten, but that's

441
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: why I think you can slow the flow on a

442
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: Freddy van Vliet All Star appearance. Locked, you can lock.

443
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: Both of them in.

444
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure because the Raptors are only one

445
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: game above five hundred. They have to have a winning record.

446
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: If the Calves can climb here, they're only one and

447
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: a half out of the top of the Eastern Conference

448
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: playoff picture. They get the Bulls who are shell themselfs

449
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night, they could easily move up, and then

450
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: you kind of have to say to yourself, well, you

451
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: got to give them two right, And either way, Jared

452
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Allen's going to get some votes from those Eastern Conference

453
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: coaches deservedly. Yeah, one hundred percent. Darius Garland is an

454
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: absolute lock to me. So there's there's going to be

455
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: somebody who gets left off, you know, whether it's one

456
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: of those Celtics who are also sometimes climbing in the standings,

457
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: whether it's Jalen or Jason. That could take away Freddy

458
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: van Aleet's All Star spot either way, lamelow ball, right, possibility.

459
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: The Hornets are actually winning a lot of games.

460
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: Here, sure, but kas are one and a half out

461
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: of first What a story in the Eastern Conference. And

462
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: they should have fallen apart so many times this season.

463
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: We've talked about the injuries, we've talked about just how

464
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: young they are. They just went on a six game

465
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: road trip and they went five and one. A young

466
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Cavs team should not do that. They should have fell

467
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: fallen apart so many times in that. Okaysee game. This

468
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: is game six of a road trip, six games and

469
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: nine days. They could have easily fallen apart at half,

470
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, Darius Garland picked them up there in the

471
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: second half. They've beat the Bucks recently, they beat Jazz recently,

472
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: they beat the Nets now and they're getting the Bulls

473
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: this week. They're showing the league how great they are.

474
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: So yes, Eastern Conference coaches have to be watching this

475
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: and have to be seeing this. That was great to watch. Garland. Yeah,

476
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: he's a lock because he's up to almost twenty and

477
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: eight on a crazy free throw percentages. Well, ninety two guys.

478
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna tipid if it comes down to want

479
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 4: him at the line.

480
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: He's twenty one years old. It's yeah, it's it's hard

481
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: not to think about Kyrie in a Calves jersey when

482
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: he was when he was younger, and look at Garland

483
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and say, man, this guy is is hours for a

484
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: long time. He ain't going anywhere quick Calves trivia. Okay,

485
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: so he went for twenty seven and eighteen assists. Fifth

486
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: cavalier to have twenty five points and fifteen assists. Named

487
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: the other four?

488
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: Okay, Lebron and Kyrie.

489
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he's the sixth cavalier. There's five guys. No,

490
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: Kyrie never did it. Never did Lebron. Lebron did it

491
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: eight times. So there's four more names. Mark Price, No, Terrell, Brandon,

492
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Trell Brand did did it once. Now I think you're

493
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: only going to get one of the other three names.

494
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: Bob Surah No, No, but I never think of this

495
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: guy as a cav although he played there.

496
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: Johnson, No, do you think where do you think of

497
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: him as? What'd you say?

498
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean he bounced around, He bounced around. Williams No, No,

499
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: our buddy, not my buddy, our buddy, Ryan se As

500
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: a jersey of his as a Cleveland Cavalier because because if.

501
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 2: If you saw this, Dames like, let me put it in.

502
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: Order, and Andre Miller this dream.

503
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: Three times so and you're not going to just.

504
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: That jersey only the one season.

505
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, I think it first sets,

506
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: it felt like if he embodies Andre Miller on the back,

507
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: it's always a little bit. Yeah, so bron Andre Miller,

508
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: Treel Brandon, John Johnson A couple of time, I'll start

509
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: back in the John Johnson and Bobby Washington. So okay,

510
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: but anyways, that was fun.

511
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: Way John Johnson, Bobby Washing all right. So Garland, Yeah,

512
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: a big, big winner here of the long NBA weekend.

513
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: Let's go to you next task. I know we talked

514
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 2: about the Grizzlies, but you got another one here for us.

515
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: Oh, the Atlanta Hawks were all winners because we don't

516
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: have to go down there to the Fortress again because

517
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: the last time the Hawks won we were there in Atlanta.

518
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: The last time they won at home was November the

519
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: twenty second, So they were going to need us to

520
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: go down there and help help them win.

521
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: The Hawk's going to reach out to us.

522
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Yes down, and they're also a winner just because of

523
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: the way they pulled this game out against the Milwaukee

524
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Bucks on MLK Day, Memphis and Atlanta. They have to

525
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: win on Mlkday. That should be a rule. They were

526
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: down ten with just under seven left. The exciting part

527
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: for the Hawks the guys who pulled this game out

528
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. On Yeka on kong Wu. Know

529
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: this guy's name. Stop calling him double low on the broadcast.

530
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Just say the man's name. We can say yan Stetkomo,

531
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: we can say on Yika on Kongou, great Nigerian name

532
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: as well. He hasn't played a lot in his first

533
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: two seasons. This is this is season number two. But

534
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I say Yanistet to Kumpo because he guarded Yani's really

535
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: really well down the stretch. He stripped them, he blocked them,

536
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: and he and he was just able to physically stay

537
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: with him, even though he's way smaller, he was able

538
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: to stay down. And yeah, again he's only played fifty

539
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: games in his first season, only ten this season. But

540
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: there's a reason that they drafted this guy last year

541
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: when they had Clint Capela on the roster. They can

542
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: see him as their future starting center. So watching him

543
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: down the stretch, you've got to be excited if you're

544
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: a Hawks fan, because they have been so horrendous at

545
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: home and you just haven't seen enough flashes from the

546
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: young guys. And then DeAndre Hunter who has come back

547
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: as well, who hasn't played a lot, yeah in his

548
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: couple of years here enough anyways, but if you remember

549
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: back to last year, first quarter of the season, he

550
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: was their best player in all honesty, he was out

551
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: playing Trey Young at times, and late in this game

552
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: he had a drive where he was able to take

553
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: the offense upon himself. So these are the kind of

554
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: guys that have to play around Trey Young for them

555
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: to be successful, really really great defensive players that can

556
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: obviously provide some offense. So that was great. They snapped

557
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: a ten game home losing streak. The deadline just over

558
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: three weeks away. What are the Hawks? How are the

559
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: Hawks going to tanker?

560
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 3: Here?

561
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: We think that cam reddish Steel was a prelude to

562
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: something else, and it sure feels like it still. But

563
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: to see DeAndre Hunter in the starting role, it just

564
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: it all fits a little bit better when those guys

565
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: are playing well. So this is the Hawks team that

566
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: can go and make some waves in this league. These

567
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: two guys I think need to be really, really solid.

568
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: So to see them pull it out was great again.

569
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: And on Yekka playing down the stretch, John Collins was

570
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: not because Gallinari was. Actually you get a chance to

571
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: get them back in the game. You know you could

572
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: read into that. You could start to go, oh, maybe

573
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: that does make them expendable. Maybe they look to move

574
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: off Collins in his contract.

575
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't do that just yet. I mean,

576
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: Gallinari did play well, and I think when you're desperate

577
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: for a win, whatever's working, you just ride in that moment.

578
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: This was honestly felt like a bit of a playoff

579
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: win from them last season. Where Trey hits the deep three,

580
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 3: everyone's contributing. Congo that huge, but he had a massive

581
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: block against the Knicks too, on a Julius Randall done

582
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: on Friday night, and if you saw that one, that

583
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: was the same thing. Rand was going to smash it

584
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: and the Congaroo's right there. So that's where he can

585
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 3: really make an impact his blocking shots and keeping guys

586
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 3: away from the perimeter. The one on Yannis was huge

587
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: because Janna's kind of beat him and he got him

588
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 3: from behind there. So the Hawks just had to get

589
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: a win. It didn't look like it was going to happen,

590
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: and they pulled it out there last night. But yeah,

591
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: there's some some It makes a difference when DeAndre Hunter

592
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: can play, and he didn't shoot all that well, but

593
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: he was just good to be out there on the floor.

594
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: All right. So the Hawks get a much needed win

595
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: and winner of the weekend. Here long weekend tray, what

596
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: about you?

597
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: Who you got?

598
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 4: MAVs had an ugly loss to the Next last week

599
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: that snapped their six game losing streak or their winning streak,

600
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 4: so they started another one this weekend.

601
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: Went three for three in four nights.

602
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: They smacked the Grizzlies on Friday in Memphis one twelve

603
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: to eighty five. Triple double for Danjetch twenty seven, twelve

604
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 4: and ten. That's how you bounce back after a disappointing performance.

605
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 4: They followed that up by taking care of business over

606
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: the weekend. They beat the Magic on Saturday. Biggest moment

607
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: from this one was probably dont taunting Mo Vogner. Mo

608
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: Wagner got the big and one on him and Lucas

609
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 4: says to him, who the fuck are you, cry baby?

610
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 4: That's some brutal trash talk man, ruthless stuff from the Donk.

611
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: And then on Sunday another wire to wire win over

612
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: the Thunder, though the Mavericks did try to give it away,

613
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: pretty ugly stuff from both teams. Honestly, in the last

614
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: couple of minutes of this game, Giddy with a couple

615
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: of rookie looking turnovers there to ice things for the Mavericks,

616
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: but that was done. Had another triple double yesterday against

617
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 4: the Thunder. That's his third and five games, giving him

618
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 4: forty one for his career. According to the Associated Press,

619
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 4: every other Maverick who's ever played for the team combined

620
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 4: has forty triple doubles and Donte has forty one. Incredible

621
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 4: stuff nine wins in ten games for Dallas. They got

622
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 4: a tough schedule coming up. They got Toronto, the Suns,

623
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies, and then they play at Golden State. Hasn't

624
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: been playing all that well. He's been contributing other than shooting.

625
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: Has just been in a little bit of a slump.

626
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: But if he's able to hit some shots here, they

627
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: keep playing defense and get some wins over these teams

628
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: who they're chasing in the Western Conference. He'll be sauntering

629
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: into that MVP restaurant. That's not a guy we've talked

630
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 4: about as an MVP candidate really at all. Seems like

631
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,239
Speaker 4: he's got a little bit of a run in him

632
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: right now.

633
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, Hey, we were in a

634
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: car together yesterday for ten plus hours with my buddy Grish,

635
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: our buddy Grish. You know, the MVP came up, and

636
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: you know, we were debating with the Kevin Durant, you know,

637
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 2: injury and we'll get to that later in the show,

638
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: Like does that take him out of the running? You

639
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 2: know who's still there?

640
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: Is it?

641
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,239
Speaker 2: Gi?

642
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 3: Honest?

643
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: And then we threw out that idea like Lucas gonna

644
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: be sauntering into the restaurant, as you put it, and

645
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: maybe grabbing a seat. Like at some point he's gonna

646
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: go on this type of run that he's on and

647
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna sustain it and he's gonna get the win.

648
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: So how many multi yebits of you got going off

649
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 3: to that drive yesterday at all?

650
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: I asked him if this was the best weekend in

651
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: sports card Weekend, Love Card weekend known as a great weekend.

652
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: It's like Week one of the NBA playoffs.

653
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: Nothing, he said, Wow, well the games were not very

654
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: good in the NFL this weekend. Sure, I love it.

655
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: Well, that's even more sort of like encouragement than figrationed. Yeah, bits,

656
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: and that's true. Yeah, that's true.

657
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: So, yes, Luca and the MAVs a winner. I got

658
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: some more here that I'll throw in. We'll call them

659
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: mini winners if you want. We'll try and move through

660
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: them with some pace, and then we'll take a break

661
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: and we'll get to the losers. But the Miami Heat

662
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: have to be a winner. Bam Adebayo. He's back maybe,

663
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: and he scored fourteen. Uh, he was gone for six weeks. Yeah,

664
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: and I think I forgot how long it was because

665
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: the Heat continued to play really well.

666
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

667
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: And now here they are, with Chicago, Brooklyn, Milwaukee and

668
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: Philadelphia all losing on Monday on MLK Day, the Heat

669
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: are tied. They're tied on top the Eastern Conference. They

670
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: actually have the most wins if you want to count

671
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: it that way. They improved a fourteen and five at

672
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: home because they beat the Raptors there yesterday. Top three offense,

673
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: top ten defense again. Bam was out for six weeks.

674
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: He's back, Butler's been gone for a good chunk of

675
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: the season. We're debating whether they'll even make the All

676
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: Star team. Has he played enough games? We thought, well

677
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: does that go to Tyler Hero or something like that.

678
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: I just can't believe what' spolster's done here with this squad.

679
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: And they have to be taking, you know, seriously as

680
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: absolutely as an East contender when all healthy. You know

681
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: they can beat the Bucks, they can hang with the Nets.

682
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: I know people will say, well you can. They got

683
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: smoked by the Bucks last year.

684
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 3: Well, yes, what different team right now? I exactly.

685
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: You didn't have Kyle Lowry on that team. So uh,

686
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: They're just they're just awesome.

687
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: Top ten defense without Bam for six weeks just shows

688
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: how together they are. So yes, they are an Eastern

689
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: Conference contender. Absolutely feels like the Eastern Conference is opening

690
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: up a little bit. As we'll talk about the Brooklyn Nets.

691
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: I heard the NFL is wide open and anyone can

692
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and the way things are going

693
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference. Of course, the Miami Heat could

694
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: win it. They could, They absolutely could.

695
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: Devin Booker winner of the NBA Long Weekend. He played

696
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: three games. Okay, played on Friday and in Indiana, Sunday

697
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: in Detroit, and then Monday in San Antonio. So all

698
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: three on the road. Now, those are not amazing teams.

699
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: So I just listed for you. But Booker averaged thirty

700
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: seven point seven points per game in thirty three minutes

701
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: per game, shot fifty three percent from the field, thirty

702
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: eight percent from deep, eighty percent at the line. He

703
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: added nearly four and a half rebounds and assists. He

704
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: turned the ball over a total of three times in

705
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: these three games. Just dominant. I mean at the forty

706
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: eight yesterday it was the leading scorer and it's his

707
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: season high. That's now on Like you know, I just

708
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: did that Tribua with you guys, not too long ago.

709
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: Forty seven points or more this season, so you can

710
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: throw Booker there. Just awesome. I'm feeling really good about

711
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: my son's going back to the finals. Take got buried

712
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: by your crazy stocked in Damian Lillard. Take but on

713
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: that Oh yeah wait, but anyway, the Suns they don't

714
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: play now until they just took care of business. Again,

715
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: these are not great teams. They played but my god,

716
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: they're a juggernaut. And when Booker plays like that, I

717
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: think they're next to unbeatable. And they don't play till

718
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: Thursday nights.

719
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: They gonna chill here for a little and book is

720
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: being trolled every arena. He goes right now by the

721
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: uh yeah, by the mascots trying to put him off

722
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 3: the freight the coyote there. Yeah, exactly the same thing

723
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: in Indiana. It was where they had like a dinosaur,

724
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: a couple of dinosaurs there, and he's taking it all

725
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: in his straw and he realizes he looked like a

726
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: bit of an asshol the other night, so instead he's like,

727
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: all right, make fun of me. It was worth it.

728
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: But then he's going yet there and absolutely cooking the

729
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: teams on the floor. So that's all countraily. But yeah,

730
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: he's looking awesome at the moment. Yeah.

731
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: And then final one here, I want to throw in

732
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: Stanley Johnson. I did not think I would have this

733
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: on my list here if you had asked me, you know,

734
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: heading into the weekend, would he be a winner of

735
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: the weekend? When we came back on Tuesday, he scored

736
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: ten of his fifteen points in the fourth quarter, for

737
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers to get the much needed one oh one

738
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: ninety five win over the Jazz. I say much needed

739
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: because Lebron was apologizing to Lakers fans after getting killed

740
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: by the Nuggets after Magic Johnson was lighting them up.

741
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: He said, I'm sorry, Laker Nation, I'm so sorry. And

742
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: Dale Johnson, this guy was just resigned to another ten

743
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: day contract and he was hitting big timely buckets. He

744
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: had a jumper late to tie it up, and he

745
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: had this nice little move around go Bear. And so

746
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: him and Lebron and Westbrook playing well with the big

747
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: dunk on Rudy, they got the victory.

748
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: But Stalley Johnson playing for his NBA life and he's

749
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: scrapping it out obviously, and on the defensive end as well.

750
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: He's making a difference. I thought watching that game in

751
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and just back to Devin book a

752
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: real real quick Sure he played Detroit one of those

753
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: three games, and never think of him as a Michigan guy.

754
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: But that's where he grew up. He's been all over

755
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: the place, went to high school Mississippi and then played

756
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: to Kentucky. He's like us taking a jaunt in the South.

757
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: He's been in every state. We went through four states yesterday.

758
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: That did you do the did you do the holding hand?

759
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: Was it one of those ones where you like you

760
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: link up?

761
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 4: No, we drove old hands.

762
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: It's great to see the South.

763
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: It was great, well the South and the and the

764
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: Mid South as we love.

765
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: Did you notice the time change? What was it like

766
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 3: going through? Like? Actually, uh, you know what's it called

767
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: the equinox? Is that it something like that? You drive,

768
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: you drive through and you're actually going backing times? Crazy?

769
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: Thank god we did because we would have missed the game.

770
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're lucky that.

771
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're coming from the Eastern Standard time to Central

772
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: there gaining an hour.

773
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and we're lucky that that. Memphis is close. It's

774
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: the Mid South. It's a Western Conference team, but they

775
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: are hosting playoff games because they're going to be a

776
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: home court advantage team.

777
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 2: So so we're driving or flying.

778
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: We're pretty close. So I don't know. We got to

779
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: figure it out because the Hawks have to pick it up. True,

780
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: if they're going to host some playoff games, we can

781
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: drive to Charlotte.

782
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 2: That's not that far, right, Let's do it both.

783
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: It's just one road.

784
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: There you go how far is it from Charlotte to Memphis?

785
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: Ten nine ten.

786
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, fire up Google Maps, figure it out,

787
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: and when we come back, we'll get to the losers

788
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: of the long NBA weekend. Okay, let's get too, losers

789
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: of the long NBA weekend tray. Why do you get started,

790
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: because we know unfortunately where you're going.

791
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of Browns, these guys have been the Browns

792
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: for the past week.

793
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: I hate to do it. First loser of the weekend.

794
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 4: Of the season to the Chicago Bulls on a four

795
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 4: game losing streak. It started with that loss to the

796
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: Nets where they gave up one hundred and thirty eight points.

797
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 2: I was fine with that one.

798
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: The Big three was all playing, they were clicking. They

799
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 4: were gonna lose sometimes. But they played Friday again against

800
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 4: the Warriors. Warriors were coming off of blod as well.

801
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 4: No Draymond Green, Zach Lavine went out with a little

802
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 4: bit of a kneear injury pretty early and the Bulls

803
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 4: got blown out again, gave out one hundred and thirty

804
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: eight points again on National TV.

805
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: Again.

806
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: Oh tough. One Saturday night. They played hard against those

807
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: Boston Bean town boys. Billy Donovan said, they played better

808
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 4: in that game than they did in some of their wins,

809
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: which is definitely true. But guess what they blew it

810
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. Bulls have been pretty good in

811
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 4: clutch situations, but they were not in this one four

812
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: point lead with a minute and two seconds left. Some

813
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: bad shit, some bad rebounding. Rob Williams, a bad free

814
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 4: throw shooter, goes to the line, knocks down four of them,

815
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: and then my guy Vucci gets a wide open look

816
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: at three to win it, and he just scraped that

817
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 4: front rim just scraped it a little.

818
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: Bit, oh boy.

819
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 4: And then yesterday another National TV game in Memphis, they

820
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: were out man, they were outclassed, and they kept hitting

821
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 4: Bucci with the nope two for thirteen, looking foolish at times.

822
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 4: If I'm being quite honest, they're banged up right now.

823
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: There's no levine for these last couple of games. No

824
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 4: Lonzo the problem versus the Grizz That was a problem

825
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 4: because they had no space, no shooting.

826
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 2: We talked about it earlier.

827
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 4: They had so many turnovers in the paint, just like

828
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 4: trying to throw the ball into Bouc and he it.

829
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 2: Would hit his hands and they would just like smack

830
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: it out of there. It's gone the other way.

831
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: The bigger issue to me, though, is that every one

832
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 4: of their athletic players I think is hurt right now.

833
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 2: DeRozan and Vucevic. They like to walk the ball up.

834
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 4: They're kind of plotting guys Being's out, Caruso's out, Javonte

835
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 4: Green is out, Derek Jones Junior is out, and obviously Lonzo.

836
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 4: That's like five of the best athletes in the rotation.

837
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 4: The way the Bulls were good at defense in the

838
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 4: first half of the season is that they had crazy activity,

839
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 4: kind of similar to the Grizzlies. Right like, if you

840
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 4: had an open three pointer, Alex Scruso is flying at

841
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: you to close things down, and then you got to

842
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 4: skip a pass, and Lonzo has great instincts.

843
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: You get a steal, you're going the other way.

844
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 4: They haven't had that at all for a few weeks now,

845
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 4: especially you know, with a health and safety protocols the

846
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 4: team and now is down to twentieth YEA in defense,

847
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 4: they're just playing two slow right now. It's not getting

848
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 4: better either. They got Cleveland on Wednesday, Milwaukee on Friday.

849
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 4: Cruso's getting close to coming back. Green will be next

850
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: and Luckily Levine didn't have a serious injury. He should

851
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: be back pretty soon. But six straight losses is not unreasonable.

852
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 4: At this point, we're at four, another.

853
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: Two could happen. In the East. Like we've said, it's

854
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: tight right now.

855
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: Somehow the Bulls are still in first thanks to that

856
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 4: winning streak, but they're just two and a half games

857
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 4: up on sixth. So great first half of the season.

858
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 4: That's what it was for the Bulls. Last year fell

859
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: apart basically after the trade deadline. This has been their

860
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: toughest part of the season and they're playing their worst

861
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 4: and they're banged up, and I think there was a

862
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 4: little bit of dog Days of the NBA going around

863
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 4: right now. We're seeing some weird.

864
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: Blowouts all around.

865
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: Schedule is gonna get easier next week, but it has

866
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 4: been ugly. So they need to get a win against

867
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 4: either Cleveland or Milwaukee.

868
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 3: Was trending on Twitter.

869
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 2: How bad it got Trey Kirby in attendance, Like we

870
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 2: talked about in Memphis for the Bulls Grizzlies game, Trey.

871
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 5: Kirby was yelling do sock ding. He was doing nothing,

872
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 5: do sucking. I think he had his own team because

873
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 5: he was playing that poorly. Yeah, zero points in the

874
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 5: first half. I don't think he played in the fourth

875
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 5: quarter seven though, seven though in that third man he

876
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 5: was feeling it.

877
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 2: He was feeling it. Nope, he was trended well. That

878
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: have to do with a bad weekend for Vouch all

879
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 2: around with Djokovic.

880
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. But uh, when I say

881
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 3: I didn't mean his name Vucevich, I mean the below.

882
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 3: So that knows you're having a bad day when your

883
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 3: nickname is trending like that. But I think it is

884
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 3: a credit to the Bulls. You know, they've lost five

885
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: or six and they still on percentage, are the best

886
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: team in the Eastern Conference, So you know they did

887
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 3: all that incredibly hard, good work and to start the season.

888
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 3: They can kind of survive a bit of a bump

889
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: in like this and you know when they get back

890
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 3: because like any team, when you're missing a lot of

891
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: your star players and Caruso, it feels like Cruiz hasn't

892
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 3: played for months, been a long time. Yeah, they miss

893
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: his They miss his sort of hustle I think off

894
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 3: the bench, in his intensity that he brings. Obviously, Levine

895
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 3: is a huge problem when they don't have his scoring

896
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 3: and Lonzo Ball as well. They miss him, So there's

897
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: you know, reasons to understand this is not just like well,

898
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: they were punching above their weight to start the season.

899
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: It's like it's tough to win when you look at

900
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: that roster and and it's like, you know, McKinney and

901
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: then White and assuming out there, You're like, okay, they're

902
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: shorthanded right now.

903
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was ugly. It was likely just watching all

904
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: that space for the Memphis Grizzlies Vouch Island. It can

905
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: be fun when things are going well, but every Grizzly

906
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: was on an island out there. They just were not

907
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: getting out to those shooters. There's so much space, and

908
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: sometimes I forget watching on television because it looks like

909
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: everything is so close together, but there it's it's a

910
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: pretty long distance. If you're packing the paint and they're

911
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 1: having trouble with pick and roll defense and boch ain't

912
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: getting out there. Had just to get way out there

913
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: to three point shooters, and man, there was a lot

914
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: of space. And I don't think it's a coincidence Caruso

915
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: has been out for a long time that their defense

916
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: basically has matched him. They're twenty sixth in defense in

917
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: December first, when you know Crusoe was there a few

918
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: days later, and that's that was the scary part coming

919
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: into the season. Was their defense going to be good

920
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: if the guys are back crew? So yeah, I think

921
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: they should be back. But it's just the national TV thing.

922
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: As Trey was going to keep about it, man, let's

923
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: just stick on league pass. Let Stacy King Cook on

924
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: the broadcast. We don't need to see this team on

925
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: national tvuntil they put together nice winning again next week.

926
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: That was their best game on national TV yesterday, Yes,

927
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: thirteen point loss. Darnell Mayberry went through. He went through it,

928
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: twenty six point loss to Golden State, twenty six to Brooklyn,

929
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: forty two to Golden State, and then that thirteenth memis. Yikes.

930
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll get the NBA TV game if they make

931
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I'll take it all you might want. Yeah,

932
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: less eyeballs. I thought it all right, So yeah, the

933
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 2: Bulls an obvious loser. I'll go next here. The Brooklyn Nets,

934
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: I think have to be included in this bunch too. Now,

935
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: they lost to the Cavs on Monday, so that's a

936
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: part of it. They fell to third in the East,

937
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: but you guys talked about how jumbled it is.

938
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 3: But in the game.

939
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: Prior Durant sprained his knee, Brooklyn is saying he's going

940
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 2: to be out about four to six weeks to recover.

941
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: That that's pretty consistent with the Grade two sprain there

942
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: of the MCL. But then we got Kyrie saying, I'm

943
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: not getting the COVID nineteen vaccine. You know, he was

944
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 2: asked about it. Now, with Durant going to be out,

945
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 2: you're still just playing these road games. You cannot play

946
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: in New York and he said, quote, nope, I stay

947
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 2: rooted in my decision. And that's just what it is.

948
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: He said a lot more than that. You can go

949
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: watch the clip if you want to, but he's not

950
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: going to. And so unless anything changes in the state

951
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: of New York or this maybe there's this possibility of

952
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 2: they can be paying fines if he plays. I don't

953
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: know what the actual update on that is, but right

954
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 2: now he is just a road player and Duran is

955
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 2: now out, and this is not good for Brooklyn because

956
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: it is crazy if you think about it. And I

957
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 2: saw Pelton break this down. He like crunch the numbers.

958
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: They when you get Katie back. If you get Katie

959
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: back around the All Star break, yeah, you know, if

960
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: you're optimistic. Okay, let's say that happens. They're gonna have

961
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: ten remaining road games to have their three superstars play together.

962
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: Ten and they haven't played.

963
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: They've only played ten regular season games together as it is.

964
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 2: They played one playoff series, you know, against the Bucks,

965
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: excuse me, against the Celtics, and that's it. So they

966
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: played like fifteen sixteen games together. That's it at all.

967
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: And the part is like, they can play together, but

968
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: you do have to figure out who the hell is

969
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: played with them and what their rules are. So this

970
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: is crazy that they're really going to have probably ten

971
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 2: maybe less road games unless anything changes here, which doesn't

972
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: sound like it is.

973
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Task counterpoint, they played eight games together last year in

974
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: the regular season, then Kyrie got hurt, then James Harden

975
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: got hurt hurt, and they almost knocked off the champs

976
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: very very close without a guy in a half. I

977
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how to really diagnose this thing.

978
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't think anyway they should be the favorites to

979
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: win the title. I think that's crazy to me.

980
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: If Kyrie is only playing half the games. That's a yes.

981
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how do you how do you prognosticate that?

982
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 1: It's very, very difficult and unprecedented. And as the rules

983
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: become more strict in Brooklyn, the rules are now that

984
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: you have to be five enough and show your vaccination

985
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: card if you're five enough. So it doesn't seem like

986
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: things are changing for Brooklyn, even though it is a

987
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: few months away and Kyrie is becoming more rooted in

988
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: his stance that he's only playing half the games.

989
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: What do you think about Durant the injury and can

990
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:00,479
Speaker 2: they the storm?

991
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 3: Well, it's obviously a concern. Anytime you hear mcl acl

992
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: whatever it is, it's like that's one that you don't

993
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 3: want to mess with, like it was with his achilles.

994
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: Remember he's done the mcl before, Yeah, and then did

995
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 2: come back and kicked ass in the playoffs.

996
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: So yeah, So I guess the good point is that

997
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: we have seen him really bounce back to the point

998
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 3: where he's an MVP candidate again. So when he gets back,

999
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 3: you know he can get back and deliver. But when

1000
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 3: you hear that four to six weeks, you like, I

1001
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 3: just hope they don't rush that back. And I don't

1002
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 3: think he will. I think psychologically Kevin Durant's like, there's

1003
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 3: no way I'm stepping on the court until I'm one

1004
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 3: hundred percent feeling great. That's just my own guest there.

1005
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: So and also when their three stars are playing, they're

1006
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: going to be like, we can go into anyone's arena

1007
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: and win a couple of games. Yeah, and they might

1008
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: want that because then Corie could play in that game,

1009
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: which is the funny part of this whole thing. So yeah,

1010
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think they'd rush him back. No, even if

1011
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: they're falling slipping into favorite.

1012
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, exactly. When you when you've got Kevin Durant there,

1013
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: you just want him healthy and then it doesn't really

1014
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 3: matter who you're matching up against. You're a tough you're

1015
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 3: a tough out. So but they've still got some issues there,

1016
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: of course, in they looked in Nick Claxton's being out

1017
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 3: as well, so they've got that to address. But when

1018
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: you've got that offensive firepower of those three together, they're

1019
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: a tough matchup for anybody.

1020
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 2: Would you like lay money on them to win the Tonal?

1021
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: Even when Durant comes back as good as he is,

1022
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 3: I still just think they've got a gaping hole there

1023
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: in the middle that they're trying to fill with an

1024
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 3: Ordridge and a Blake Griffin, and we've seen those guys

1025
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 3: this year a lot look very slow at times. Yeah,

1026
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: so no, I think the Bucks would still be my

1027
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: favorite from the East right now.

1028
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: Any thoughts here on the Nets, Kyrie's injury, Kyrie's comments,

1029
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: them just floundering a little bit.

1030
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Kevin Durant's going

1031
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 4: to sit out a little bit here, because there's been

1032
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 4: a lot of talk in the past month about the

1033
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 4: Nets playing Kevin Durant too many minutes when you know,

1034
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: Kyrie hadn't come back to the team yet, Harden was out,

1035
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 4: they had a lot of COVID protocol issues as well.

1036
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 4: So he is playing, you know, forty three minutes with

1037
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of role players and having the time of

1038
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 4: his life. But everybody's like, hey, man, you might get injured.

1039
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: Maybe we should slow down here. So maybe slowing down

1040
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 4: will be good in the long run, and maybe it

1041
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 4: gives the that's a little bit more motivation to go

1042
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: into games and give it. There all, they're only four

1043
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 4: and eight in the month of January, and it usually

1044
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: seems to me that they're just kind of out of

1045
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 4: it right, like they just don't give the full effort,

1046
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: Like they obviously got up to play the balls on

1047
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 4: national TV and smacked them. So yeah, maybe a little

1048
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 4: bit more motivation here for James Harden to keep things going,

1049
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 4: cement his All Star case and keep the team in

1050
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 4: the top half of the Eastern Conference. And then Kevin

1051
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 4: Durant'll come back a little bit closer to the playoffs,

1052
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 4: get in rhythm and have had a little bit of

1053
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 4: a rest, you know, six weeks of rest. It could

1054
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 4: work out out right for the Nets, But I don't know.

1055
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like there's a favorite in the Eastern

1056
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 4: Conference right now because the Bucks are struggling as well

1057
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 4: with Drew Holliday out and we still don't know what's

1058
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 4: going on with Brook Lopez.

1059
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: Yep, it does feel open.

1060
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: I'll just jump in for the kd is the best

1061
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 1: player in the world momentum. This kind of slows that down,

1062
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: which stinks. I think this is the longest stretch where

1063
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: we've all sort of said Kevin Durant is the best

1064
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: player in the world. I think in his fifteen year.

1065
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a longer stretch. Really, yeah, since the

1066
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: last year's playoffs. Even Gastakumpo, who went up against him,

1067
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: I was saying and continues to say he's the best

1068
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: player in the world. Since then, I think unanimously across

1069
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: the board people have said that, and I think everybody's

1070
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: comfortable saying that. I don't think there's been a longer

1071
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: Even though he was MVP in twenty fourteen, Bron was

1072
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: still looming over him. Yeah, and now you know, Bron

1073
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: is obviously playing great, But I think, yeah, universally, we

1074
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: can all say Kevin Durant is the best player in

1075
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: the world, and that's going to slow the momentum down

1076
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: a little bit because it's Bron's league until he's gone,

1077
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: but Kevin Durank can come back and grab it. But

1078
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's that. This is this is the

1079
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: time where even though he's one of the all time greats,

1080
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: I think this is the longest stretch. But we can

1081
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: say that.

1082
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: I think people would counter that maybe the playoff stretch

1083
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 2: there when he's on the Warriors and like obviously racking

1084
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 2: up finals MVPs and going even tone to toe with Lebron. Yeap,

1085
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: that could be. You know, like, I guess I'm not

1086
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: convinced that this season he's like run away with that

1087
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 2: you know, that title with is playing with Yolkic, playing

1088
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: with you know, you know, even Lebron playing still the

1089
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: way he plays goes on and on. There's just so

1090
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 2: many guys.

1091
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was I think it was more of

1092
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: a debate with Lebron even in those series because Lebron

1093
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: didn't have the better team and Kadi did. And now, yeah,

1094
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: I think I think this is the biggest gap that

1095
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: he's had, and he's and he's been making increasing that

1096
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: gap until yeah, this weekend, well.

1097
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: I think he's left the MVP restaurant though unfortunately Bron Okay, sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1098
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 2: because he's gonna miss He's gonna miss thirteen to fifteen

1099
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: games minimum. Probably he's already missed six. So you're already

1100
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 2: getting up to like a quarter of the season and

1101
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: you don't really have much of a chance. I don't

1102
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: think to win.

1103
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 3: MVP, right but I also think for him, he won't.

1104
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 3: That's not what he's chasing right now. He desperately wants

1105
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 3: a non worries championship, so he wants to be healthy

1106
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 3: and as ready for that as he can be. Let's

1107
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 3: go to you next. Who do you have for a

1108
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 3: loser of the NBA referees, because look the taunting every weekend,

1109
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 3: the taunting after a dunk tech has gotten out of control.

1110
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: On Saturday night it was Phoenix and Detroit and JD's

1111
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 3: actually got it here Kate Cunningham, rookie k Cunningham with

1112
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: a beautiful baseline move here. Look at this spin it

1113
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 3: almost a bit of a smitty there, dunks it and

1114
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 3: then just points to the Jalen Smith there. That's all

1115
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 3: that's all he did.

1116
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he was pointing out Gelen Smith Lake the smitty.

1117
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: Maybe this movie.

1118
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, now look at that. That's a beautiful movie. Be

1119
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 3: pointing at his own bench too.

1120
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: Gelen Smith got caught in the cross.

1121
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 3: Points anyway, that was his second team. He even ejected

1122
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 3: for that, He got a jected. Now. Then last night,

1123
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook's had a very rough season by his own standards.

1124
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 3: He's been lit up by Lakers fans in the NBA.

1125
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 3: Had a throwback dunk for the ages here last night

1126
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: on Rudy Go bet just bunches on Rudy now.

1127
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: But I'm questionable, but.

1128
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: Come on, like, how in a moment like that, you're

1129
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 3: supposed to not feel some sort of visceral emotion, Like

1130
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: he's not going up to Rudy in his face like

1131
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to punch you in the face now saying

1132
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 3: something talk about like, you know, making an anti climatic moment, like, oh,

1133
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 3: there's a dumb I'm going to give you a tech

1134
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 3: foul for celebrating, for enjoying that moment, for expressing yourself

1135
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: like Westbrook, you know, again he has had this is

1136
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 3: I think he's been the worst season of his career

1137
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: in terms of like the blame that he's getting the

1138
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: production just the way he's been playing, and you know,

1139
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: he's been getting into it with people in the media

1140
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and he goes out there and

1141
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 3: throws it down. Let the man express himself, Like how

1142
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 3: can you honestly call a tee for that? For him

1143
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: just like crushing it on Rudy, you know, and then

1144
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: just like I mean, just roaring. I think it's ridiculous.

1145
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 4: Now I'm going to say this, that's kind of a

1146
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 4: guarantee for me with you, But this one is like

1147
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 4: going to be a tech.

1148
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is my this is my proposal to

1149
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 3: the lead. All right, that's okay, because they don't want

1150
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 3: people getting into fights over it, all right. That's why

1151
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 3: that's what the technical I believe is there.

1152
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 2: It's a little thing called, you know, be sportsman.

1153
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 3: But again, come on, let a motion take over and

1154
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: that's it. I would say, make it a team tech,

1155
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: not an individual tech. So you still get a tee

1156
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: the other team gets the free throw, right, but then

1157
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 3: because Cunningham should not be ejected exactly like, so make

1158
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: it an unsports you know, if you hang on the rim,

1159
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 3: that tea doesn't go to you. If you get caught

1160
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 3: for a tea, that goes to the team. I only

1161
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: found that out what I was last year if someone

1162
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: from the Wolves Dune they got a TECH and it

1163
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: was like, it's not a personal take, it's a team tech.

1164
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 3: Will make this the same because it's just ridiculous to

1165
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 3: have Ky Cunningham ejected for a play the game was,

1166
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, a blowout. Anyway, he's been good and then

1167
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: Westbrook yesterday, I mean, I just thought it was absurd

1168
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: to get a tech fail for that. What do you

1169
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 3: think about that idea? That's not a bad idea in

1170
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 3: that instance.

1171
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 2: You know, your flex, your big dunk, your bark, your

1172
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: flex whatever.

1173
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: I got a team. I'm looking at Ziggy's comment here

1174
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: in the stream. Team it's people have flexed since the eighties.

1175
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 1: It's not let it happen. Yeah, I mean I lift

1176
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: a twenty five pound dumbbell and I flex. Russell Westbrook

1177
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: just dunked on the defensive player of the year and

1178
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: the baseline camp seeing him come haunting that rim, going

1179
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: after it and then getting Rudy Gobert and.

1180
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 2: That was like that was therapeutic too.

1181
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even a taunt. It was just a

1182
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: little bit of a home like puff the chest out. Yeah,

1183
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking in the mirror feeling great.

1184
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: That's it. I mean, it wasn't really's it?

1185
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: It really wasn't all that much. Yeah, the Team Tech Sure.

1186
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: I also don't know what Team techs are for.

1187
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 3: Quite often, I didn't even know they exist it until

1188
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 3: last year.

1189
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: But exactly I like that Team Tech Team rebound. Sure

1190
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: you can change that is.

1191
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 4: That factual that flexing was invented in Canseco invented flexing?

1192
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 4: I believe I'm the Bash brothers. I actually think if

1193
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 4: team tech is perfect. It's very similar to like you

1194
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 4: know in the NFL, if you go overboard, they're giving

1195
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 4: your whole team a penalty, So like, yeah, give the

1196
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 4: Jazz one free throw for Westbrook dunking all over Rudy Gobert,

1197
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 4: screaming in his face and then chess bumping every other

1198
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 4: player who was out on the court because I think

1199
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 4: he got a chess bump from every other Laker out there.

1200
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 2: So it's like, I don't know, thirty seconds of celebration.

1201
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: That's worth one point to me.

1202
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we do not want to take these sort of

1203
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 3: moments out of the game in any way where you

1204
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 3: have the guy just dunking on another guy for fear

1205
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 3: of him, Like, hang on, what if I react and

1206
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 3: then I get a tea and I cost my team?

1207
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 3: Like he's got to be able to do that. And

1208
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,959
Speaker 3: it was instant too the reference, Yeah, it was quick

1209
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: like ah Man, come.

1210
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: On and Lebron coming over to him. This regardless of

1211
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: the tech, this was a good Lakers moment. Lebron point

1212
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: guard of the team coming over to the other gay

1213
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, and yeah, it was it was a bonder

1214
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: right there.

1215
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: Lebron could be a tsn turning point.

1216
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: This is a Tony Parker ep right here.

1217
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 3: It may have been for Frank Vogue because there was

1218
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 3: a report out from our Sam Amick here in The

1219
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 3: Athletic Today that he was nearly fired after their last

1220
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 3: loss and he remains on the hot seat. So that's

1221
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 3: a huge wow.

1222
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 2: I actually didn't even see that.

1223
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 3: It only just came out. I think maybe just before

1224
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 3: we went on. Frank Vogl would have loved it.

1225
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: So Voga would have been like, I'll take that tax Yeah,

1226
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: all right, good one. I mean another huge dunk too,

1227
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 2: just to slip it in there because you're talking a

1228
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 2: big dunks. Kyle Kuzmo, Yeah, over Embi. There was some

1229
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 2: good highlights this long NBA weekend. All the guys to

1230
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 2: not get a taunting tack Kyle Cook, Yeah, yeah, it's

1231
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 2: good point. Take us home here. Who is your loser

1232
00:54:59,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: of the long MBA.

1233
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: Week Another dunk created minds Scottie Barnes huge dunk on

1234
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: the break for the Raps Beauty and my loser of

1235
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: the weekend goes to Caleb Martin who touched Barnes back

1236
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: on his way.

1237
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 2: It's always dangerous.

1238
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: Don't touch Barnes. Don't touch him, We'll get on you.

1239
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's a that's upstate New York joke for you,

1240
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 1: right there, Seleno and Barnes, your injury lawyers, that's what

1241
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: that was. Probably one of the more enjoyable things driving

1242
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: through the South is seeing all the injured lawyer.

1243
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had some good names.

1244
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 4: You remember any Oh, Morris Bart, how many calls one call?

1245
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: I love those guys. He's got the name in a crash.

1246
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 2: One guy get hit called Neil Flip.

1247
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 3: I love it. You beat in a crash. Yeah, give

1248
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 3: me all that money, I love it. Just put it

1249
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 3: into billboard.

1250
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: Morris Bart. That was one name mor Trey had to

1251
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: add to his three name names. Yeah, because because it's

1252
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: what's what's.

1253
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 3: His bill say? I'm trying to think Mars bought like

1254
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 3: one call, sorry several.

1255
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: I want to get up on that billboard and put

1256
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: a comma after Morris because I'm sure it's Bart Morris.

1257
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the name is Morris. Yeah, well Morris

1258
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: is a last name. It's not a first Morris Bart.

1259
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: It's Bart Morris. But we also Mary back to Barnes

1260
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: and Toledo. No, usually, as you said, it's men, but

1261
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: we have also a Mama Justice.

1262
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 3: We did see Mama Justice.

1263
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: That's a good Mama Justice. I don't know what her

1264
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: name is, doesn't matter.

1265
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 3: Maybe her name is Mama Justice.

1266
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: She changed justice, Mama Justice, Mama. So anyways, don't touch

1267
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: Scotty Caleb. It was you know, you always see those

1268
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: things happen, and Scotty didn't overreact whatsoever. Three guys went

1269
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: into the crowd, Martin Barnes and Tyler Hero was there

1270
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: and he totally played it off and he wasn't injured whatsoever.

1271
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: But it's very scary. Yeah, just let him not the

1272
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: thing because because Caleb was from behind, I had flashbacks

1273
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: of Klay Thompson, you know, getting hit from Danny Green

1274
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: in the finals, which is different because it is the

1275
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: finals and you kind of have to go for it. Yes, yes,

1276
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:29,479
Speaker 1: it's tough.

1277
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: You want you don't want your defender to ever give

1278
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 2: up on the play. But as we've talked a million

1279
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: times before, the tiniest touch when a guy's airborn, can

1280
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: you know, end disastrous.

1281
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: They went into press row there and into the crowd

1282
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: and somebody could have easily been injured, any of those guys,

1283
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: but obviously Scotty Barnes don't touch Scotty.

1284
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: Don't touch Scotty. Scotty too hotty. Okay, those are our

1285
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 2: winners and losers of again the long NBA weekend, you know,

Speaker 3: about just how impactful those Knicks teams were, especially at

1307
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 3: the start of the day there with pat Riley and

1308
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:02,919
Speaker 3: then when he moved on. I won't give it away

1309

00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1315
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: We talked to Chris Herring here on the Podcastrow Morning. Yep,

1316
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: very excited about that. Did you fly through that lead?

1317
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 3: I could just see through, So it was funny talk

1318
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 3: me about flying through. I actually was reading it on

1319
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 3: the flight from Atlanta to Toronto. I was so engrossed

1320
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 3: by it. I didn't even realize the like the plane

1321
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 3: land and I'm still reading and I was like, oh

1322
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 3: my god, I haven't like raised the tables in front

1323
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 3: of me and things like that.

1324
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 2: I know.

1325
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 1: I was like, that's not you, that's not on you.

1326
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean the flight attendant did come through

1327
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 3: and sort of say but for some reason, I'm sorry,

1328
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 3: I'm reading. I relowered it and I was reading and

1329
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 3: then I was like, oh, man, I shouldn't do that.

1330
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 3: That's a felony.

1331
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: That's on you.

1332
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: But so many great stories they're like to say about

1333
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 3: just how tough the Nicks were, how rough they were,

1334
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: and have the league sort of maybe change some of

1335
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 3: the rules because of their rough house tactics. Sure, really

1336
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: good stuff.

1337
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, just to really drive home why you

1338
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 2: should buy this book. I haven't read the entire thing yet,

1339
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 2: but within the first three or four pages there is

1340
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: a story of Xavier McDaniels walking around the locker room

1341
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 2: fully erect for this tale, hanging off his member. I

1342
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 2: believe I am. You know, the sort of paraphrasing.

1343
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 3: Three pages story like that.

1344
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: So you know you're in for a good book there

1345
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 2: and a good read.

1346
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, I had Zevy McDaniel and pupping pecks. Didn't

1347
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 3: ask him about pupping pants popping twels.

1348
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: All right, Chris Harry, You're going to join us on

1349
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: tomorrow's podcast to talk about his book, and we'll talk

1350
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 2: about the NBA with him and a whole lot more.

1351
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: Literally looking forward to what to that. Excuse me, all right,

1352
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: pick them? Results was this Friday night's game. Okay, going

1353
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: way back in time here, it was the Raptor's Pistons game.

1354
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: Raptors were favored by seven and a half in Detroit.

1355
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 2: We sat here and said, big line, especially considering Dwayne

1356
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 2: Casey never loses. It feels like to the Raptors didn't

1357
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 2: take my own advice. I shared that stat with everyone.

1358
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 2: You know that fact, I guess. I still took Toronto

1359
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: and so did Trey. And well they lost. They straight

1360
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: up lost, like we basically said they would. Good call

1361
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 2: by Task, good call by Lee there to take the

1362
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 2: Pistons and the cover there. So you guys are all

1363
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 2: tied at four and six in the month of January.

1364
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm seven and three, So I'm a couple of games clear,

1365
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 2: But what's the big game tonight?

1366
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Two games in the Association to night only too, thank

1367
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Oh we're talking to me tomorrow, right, Yeah. And the

1368
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: New York Knicks hosting one of those games, a two

1369
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: and a half point dog against the Minnesota Timberwolves, coming

1370
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,439
Speaker 1: off a game where they allowed thirty eight to Miles Bridges. Yeah,

1371
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there you are, said, we said, we started

1372
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: connect h Yeah, a bridge. From the beginning of the

1373
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: show to the end of the show, Miles dropped thirty eight,

1374
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: which was great to watch. Anyways, the next at home,

1375
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: So you guys don't have a lot of faith in

1376
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I unders stand that watching them loose to

1377
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: the Charlotte Hornets at home on Mlkday. So the three

1378
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: of you rolling with the Wolves. As Trey said, there's

1379
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of backwards things happening in the NBA right now.

1380
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: So I'm taking the Knicks.

1381
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Lee, Why are you going Minnesota?

1382
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 3: Ah? It's a tight one. The Wolves have been playing better.

1383
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 3: The Knicks have been better at home actually too recently.

1384
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 3: Apart from yesterday's game. Just one thing about the Raptors.

1385
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 3: How do they then lose that game and go and

1386
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,080
