1
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's official.

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: We're now on Facebook.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: I really wasn't sure about this at the start, and

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: then a friend of mine said something that just made

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of sense. She said, think of it more

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: as a conversation. I like that, but I'm already finding

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: out on my own is that it's wiping the walls

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: out between you and me, and I really like that

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: it allows us into each other's worlds, or I guess,

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: in my case a hotel room. When I think about

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: things I want.

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: To post, I want to post cool stuff, slick stuff,

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: neat stuff. But most of the stuff I'm gonna post

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be raw stuff like this, because this is

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: just who I am. So it's just truly a conversation.

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: And I say, let the conversation begin.

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,040

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: well to No Dunks at the Athletic dot com.

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 5: You never know where we're going to hit the beach.

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: Okay, on today's show, we are going to do our

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 3: biggest surprises about all the Eastern Conference teams. Yesterday we

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: did the fifteen Western Conference teams. Today we'll do the

48
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: fifteen Eastern Conference team. But we had a million games

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: on last night. We're only going to touch on a couple,

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: but we had some amazing performances. We got to get

51
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: your thoughts on Devin Booker score in fifty one points

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: in three quarters as the Sun's absolutely hammered your Chicago bulls.

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 5: So why don't you get us started there? Two K?

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 5: What do you think about that performance? Devin Booker is

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: pretty good? Oh yeah, this guy can score the basketball.

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 5: I mean, you know he started out. Patrick Williams on

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 5: him for quite a few possessions. Too slow, Alex Caruso

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 5: did a better job of staying close. Too short. Yeah,

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 5: it appears that some of Devin Booker's baskets were assisted,

60
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 5: according to the tracking data at NBA dot com slash stats,

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 5: But I don't believe it because it seemed like he

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 5: was making every single play off the dribble and scoring

63
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 5: every single time he wanted to finish twenty for twenty five.

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 5: Oh my god, incredible stuff. This is coming after eighty

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 5: forty four point game in his previous outing. So ninety

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: five points over two nights. Pretty good.

67
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: Devin Booker just won Player of the Month, I believe task, yes,

68
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: and we're waiting for that word officially.

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: I mean he had three point November perfect, ye yeah.

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: Three forty point games there in November, and then the

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: fifty one last night in three quarters.

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: What was great about it was only six free throws,

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: just continuously burying shots a lot of the time as well.

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: You know, we say was like the guy couldn't miss,

75
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: and this was like he couldn't yea to have a

76
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: special eighty percent from the field night twenty for twenty five.

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: Like if we're going back to that seventy point game

78
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: he had a while back in Boston, ye twenty seventeen, Yes,

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: so so long ago. He missed a lot of shots.

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: Then he took forty plus shots. This one, my god,

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: it was wild to see him shoot just through Alex Caruso.

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: I always think as f Devin Booker, not not as

83
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: a huge guard because he's also not massive, he's not wide,

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: but it looked like no one could just affect a

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: shot last night. He literally was ultra confident. That was

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: that was, you know, one of those when a shooting

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: guard gets going kind of fun nights. And he's not

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: a deep three point shooter, but that last one late

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: in the third that was deep everything.

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: The first couple minutes of the second half, he was

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: on stop. But what didn't matter who the bull threw

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: at him. He was like, I'm gonna score here. Either

93
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: pull up at three, attack with like left handed finishes

94
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: at the rim, or that jumper.

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 5: That's money, either working in the post or just getting

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: to the free throw line area. It's just pure, pure, pure.

97
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: A couple of great stats about Booker's game from one

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: of my favorite substacks right now statitudes.

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 5: Listen to this.

100
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: Throughout NBA history, there have been five hundred and sixty

101
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: six fifty point games recorded in the regular season five

102
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: and sixty six. Booker's effort is just the thirteenth in

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 3: which a player shot at least eighty percent from the field.

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: Tough to do eighty percent, we'll go percentage in a

105
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: fifty point game, because it does usually take you know,

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: a lot of shot attempts to get to that high

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: art free throws.

108
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: That's right, he did. All of this.

109
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: Booker did in thirty minutes and forty seconds. Only four

110
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: players have recorded a fifty point game with less playing time,

111
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: a total of five instances. You want to play some trivia,

112
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: can you name the guys that there? They're all current players.

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 5: To help you out.

114
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 3: Fifty points in fifty points in less minutes than Booker

115
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: did last night, so basically less than thirty minutes that here.

116
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, did Yanist do it?

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: No?

118
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: He had eight fifty.

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: A guy did it this calendar year.

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: This so last season a big guy Embiid, Yes, Embiid

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: in January twenty twenty two, obviously this year he scored

122
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: fifty points in twenty seven minutes in three seconds against

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: the Magic I believe it was okay, the player that

124
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: I love you to get, he did it twice.

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: You would love us to get this guy specifically, I

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: think you should.

127
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant, Oh, you were doing was gonna Clay?

128
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 5: That's right, that's exactly right.

129
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: Play did it twice in twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen,

130
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: and then a pair of teammates did it also in

131
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. They did it in like twenty nine minutes

132
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: and change where they had a fifty point game. They

133
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: did it like ten days apart. Kyrie no, no, no,

134
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: this is a they're no longer teammates. I'll give you

135
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: that little hint in the trivia here. One still plays

136
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: for the current team, and one has moved on to

137
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: another Western Conference team, not their Western Conference team. Well,

138
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: so both Western Conference guards. One has never made the

139
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: All Star team. One is a perennial All Star.

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: Oh Jamal Murray. No, oh no, no, no, nuts, no

141
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: he hasn't.

142
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: That's right, sir, yes, flipping around, it was CJ first

144
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: and then Dame in twenty eighteen. Again some like ten

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: days apart. I don't really remember that, but late January

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: and the early February. So good stuff there. From statitudes.

147
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 5: Statitudes.

148
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: You like stats, go check out this substack. Okay, let's

149
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: keep it going. I mean, Devin Booker is just unreal.

150
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: We also had a game of note last night because

151
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: I bet my house on it and I'm rich now, Yeah, exactly,

152
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards. He sparks the Townsless Wolves to the one

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: o nine one oh one victory over the Grizzlies. So

154
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: a little bit of a rivalry between these two teams,

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: meaning in the playoffs. But we thought tests no cat

156
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: watched the it's the ewing theory, as Bill Simmons has

157
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: called it forever, and they came out and played pretty well.

158
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: Here Minnesota did Anthony Edwards through Rudy Gobert and Ally

159
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: Oup in the fourth. Don't see that very often. Maybe

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: they'll have some chemistry. Just because Karl Anthony Towns is out,

161
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: Edward's gonna have the ball. Rie Gobert is gonna be

162
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: the center. I thought Kyle Anderson being inserted to the

163
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: starting lineup is very, very key for this team, just

164
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: the glue guy. Yet if you will Bridge Bridge, sure, sure,

165
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: so many Bridges. Not Michael, not Miles obviously, but yeah,

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: but but this Todd's see you later. Anyway. I think

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: he might. He might just force his way into the

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 4: starting lineup and might not leave the starting line Kyle

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: Anderson is just perfect for what happens.

170
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 5: In four to six weeks when comes back.

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: He can be a small forward.

172
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: Oh oh interesting, super big interesting, interesting's a big he's

173
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: a wing's slow though he plays, he is great. I mean,

174
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

175
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: He is one of those classic like as you're you

176
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: know whatever, fourth or fifth player in the starting lineups.

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: He's fantastic.

178
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: He helps, He just helps. So we'll see what Rudy

179
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 4: Gobert and Anthony Edwards can do together. Hopefully, hopefully that

180
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: happens because Carl's not there when and then it pays

181
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 4: off later on when Towns does come back. Towns will

182
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: be in the starting line when he comes back.

183
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: I can guarantee that maybe you're going to see that

184
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: they start pulling off some wins here. You know those absolutely,

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: those rumors will fire up. But what'd you think about

186
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: ant leading the Wolves to the wind?

187
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 5: I thought he was awesome in the fourth quarter in particular,

188
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: and I can't believe it. I got a tap. Tip

189
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 5: my hat to Rudy Gobert for all of his screen assists.

190
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: You a sick guy was screened last night. It's not

191
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: a coincidence to me that they ran so many picking rolls.

192
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: You're right, Edwards did eventually pass the ball, said Rudy Gobert,

193
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 5: for an alley. Everybody went crazy, but he was setting

194
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: great screens, getting a ton of space for Edwards to

195
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 5: then be able to attack downhill, and then Edwards was

196
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 5: just finishing over. Whoever happened to be there didn't matter

197
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 5: for his one guy, two guys, three guys. Eventually he

198
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 5: did get it to Rudy Gobert, but that was kind

199
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: of just like I felt like a fank you gift

200
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: from Anthony Edwards. Thanks for getting me opened so many

201
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: times in this fourth quarter. Have a nice dunk for

202
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 5: the road.

203
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, And Rudy was gone for re screens even he

204
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: was saying get up there, get up top, bring the

205
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 4: ball to Anthony Edwards and screen. And then the the

206
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 4: bigger question mark and the starting lineup isn't obviously Karl Nenton.

207
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: Town's gonna come back. I think Kyle Anderson is key.

208
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: It's Anthony Edwards gets the ball more. If D'Angel Russell

209
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: isn't there, I think that would that guy should be

210
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: the number one trade prospect because last year things worked

211
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: out with Patrick Beverley back there and and things were

212
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: just a lot different on that team. So that that's

213
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 4: the chemistry issue. I think Anthony Edwards just got to

214
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: be more prominent.

215
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: Russell was a table setter last night tennis is and

216
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: he hit a big three, you know, an important three

217
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: in this game because it was close, and then the

218
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: Grizzlies they got upset, didn't they They were Dylan Brooks

219
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: and John Morant get a little pissed off with this one,

220
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: but the Wolves get it done without Cat there as

221
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: everyone predicted. And final game that we need to just

222
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: touch on briefly here. The Boston Celtics continue.

223
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 5: They're winning. Ways had some royalty in attendance last night too.

224
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: I know Trey was.

225
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: Pumped up about that. Your your your sister must have

226
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: been ecstatic about this.

227
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: This is the first time my sister has been in

228
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 5: our basketball group. Text me, my dad, my step brother,

229
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 5: my sister hopping in, starting a full new group. Text

230
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 5: you know Will and Cater go into the game tonight. Oh,

231
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 5: she knew it in advance skates. She's flying to Boston

232
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: today because they're still there doing some climate change initiatives.

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: She's just hoping to catch a glimpse of the Royals. Yeah, man,

234
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: it's amazing, amazing. Love still exist.

235
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

236
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 5: So I was updating her the entire night on how

237
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 5: often they were clapping. I sent her the clip of

238
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 5: Will saying he's very good. Yes. After Jason Tatum went

239
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: back to back threes, I thought it was hilarious that

240
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 5: they put him up on the JumboTron and the Boston

241
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 5: Celtics fans responded by chanting, us and we got your

242
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 5: tea party right here. Well, I can't believe a question though.

243
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: I mean forty nine points from Jason Tatum. They stayed

244
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 5: the whole game. They were there the whole game. This

245
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: is only the second game these two have been to.

246
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: The first was in December twenty fourteen. They showed up

247
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: in the third quarter for calvs versus Nets out Lebron Right. Yeah,

248
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 5: I ended up being a blowout. Leading score that night,

249
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: Dion Waiters with twenty six points. I don't think that

250
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 5: one is gonna make it into the Crown. Forty nine

251
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: points though from Jason Tatum. Wow, season ten a d

252
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 5: aged Drake playing Jason Tatum. Come on, I think they

253
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 5: got to get the Yeah. I mean, he's gonna be

254
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 5: like fifty years old by the time, you know, they

255
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: make season ten of the Crown. He's supposed to play

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: a nineteen year old. But they could do incredible things

257
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 5: with computer.

258
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, yeah, Will and Kate stay for the whole game.

259
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: Our king, our Canadian King Drake doesn't stay for forty

260
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 4: eight they stay for the entire thing. It was a

261
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: breath I unfortunately, I thought it was Will and Grace

262
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: that was gonna be there, and I would have been

263
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: a little bit more pumped for them. But yeah, my dumb,

264
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: pointless Twitter investigative work led me to believe that there

265
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: was a good amount of cheers instead of just the

266
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 4: USA chance who cares. But I mean the donkeys that

267
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: know geography and start chanting USA. Come on, I don't

268
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: know how many they were. I would like to think

269
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 4: that it was mostly cheers for you. Like to think that, yeah, well,

270
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: rather than hey, did you know you flew to the USA,

271
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 4: We're chanting USA at you.

272
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, some notable moments in the United States history

273
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: have happened in Boston. And I'll tell you who the

274
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 5: villains were.

275
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: Well, they asked, uh, the Celtics coach Joe Missoula after

276
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 3: the game, if you got a chance to meet the

277
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: royal family. This was Joe Mizula's quote, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

278
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm only familiar with one royal family. I don't know

279
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: too much about them, but hopefully they're Celtics fans talking

280
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: about obviously Prince William And.

281
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: What a quote.

282
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 5: One of the quotes of the year. You need to

283
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 5: get off Twitter and go to church from Joe Mizoula.

284
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: That's nice.

285
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: I would like to see if Tatum goes on to

286
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: pull out an MVP victory, Prince William and Kate give

287
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: it to him, you know, Prince, because Prince William could

288
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: be like he is good, he is. It's cheer too, cheer,

289
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: but yeah. Dominant performance forty nine. As as the Celtics

290
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: are just continue to be lights out. We'll get to them,

291
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: of course when we get to our surprises for Eastern

292
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: Conference teams here and I got some stats about them

293
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: in their offense being the greatest of all time right

294
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: now by a landslide. Actually, it's wild after what twenty

295
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: two games they played. The only other note from the

296
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: Celtics game happened this morning. I don't know if you

297
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: guys saw woesh tweeting that Al Horford has agreed to

298
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: a two year, twenty twenty dollars twenty million dollar contract

299
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: extension that ties him to the franchise through his thirty

300
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: ninth birthday. So big Al signing on for a couple

301
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: more years that'll kick in twenty three, twenty.

302
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: Four, thirty nine. Huh. I think he's gonna be good to.

303
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 5: So you think that's a steal ten ten million a year.

304
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 4: At thirty nine. He's been in the league a long time,

305
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 4: but he sticks day's pretty young. Feels like right, he

306
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: looks like he looks like yeah, and he loves playing

307
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: in Boston. He wanted to get back to Boston after

308
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: his first stint there. They tried the Philly thing, went

309
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: to okay see, and they got him back to Boston.

310
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: His whole family, speaking of his royal family, as has

311
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: always said, as always said, he wanted to go back

312
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: to Boston. He's pumped to be there. I think he'll

313
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: be a spry through his thirty ninth birthday. Alfred Joel

314
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: Horford Raino.

315
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: So you don't think in a couple of years from now,

316
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: we'll see who would it be, who would be like

317
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: a comparison, who's who's a great young wing, like a

318
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: super young wing in the NBA, like a small forward,

319
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: give me in.

320
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 5: Any small forward, Jabari Smith Junior. Okay, okay, Because they

321
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 5: don't think in.

322
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: A couple of years, Al Horford being thirty nine forty

323
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: that we'll see Jabari Smith Junior matched up on him

324
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: in the corner like we saw Tatum blowing by Haslam

325
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: last night.

326
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: Wow, you don't think that'll be an issue saying with

327
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: an old.

328
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: Al, Yeah, that was that was for me to get there.

329
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: That was tough.

330
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 5: That was crazy. What do they do?

331
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: But Donnas has him the oldest player in the NBA

332
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: born in nineteen eighty on Jason Tatum in the corner.

333
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 4: Plus they had that corner cam where he was right

334
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: on the floor so you could see just one shimmy

335
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: from Jason Tatum put you Donnis Haslam in the absolute

336
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: opposite direction. Poor dude. Now, if Alan Haslam is older

337
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: than I am, yeah, he's the only player born in

338
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty Wow, left in the NBA for two But

339
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: he hasn't been playing no, no, I know, I know anyway,

340
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: but yeah he could be. But he's about at ten

341
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: mil when the salary cap goes up. He's still a

342
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 4: backup like that could be priced as a backup.

343
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: And like whatever he's contributing in two years from now,

344
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: he's basically like HASLM.

345
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 5: He's like a coach totally.

346
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: He's either a player coach or he's just like yeah,

347
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: spot minutes here there, and he's like such a great

348
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: locker room guy in presence and stuff like that.

349
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 5: So yeah, good stuff from uh horpor there. Okay, should

350
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 5: we get into the teams. Let's get into the teams.

351
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: The big surprises at the quarter mark of the NBA

352
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: season for all the Eastern Conference teams today Again, if

353
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: you want to hear our Western Conference thoughts, check out

354
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: yesterday's podcast. These could be good or bad, so positive

355
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: or negative can be about specific players, can be about coaches,

356
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: or even trends. We're going to start in the middle

357
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: of America. The Central Division.

358
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 4: I thought this was an interesting choice. Yeah, the central

359
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 4: of all the three to choose from.

360
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 5: Do you know why I picked the Central back the curtain?

361
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: I think I picked them the other day because I

362
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: was like, what's the what's the best the best conference?

363
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: Excuse me, the best division?

364
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 5: Right now?

365
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: Over all the best division?

366
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: Now now you would you would maybe counter, We'll hold on,

367
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: how is it not the Atlantic? Right Boston with the

368
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: best record. But then there's like there's the Raptors and Sixers,

369
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: like they're all like sort of everybody. Yeah, so this

370
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: one we got the Bucks, then we got the Calves.

371
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: The Pacers are about five hundred team.

372
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 4: So best division. That's why I went with them.

373
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: So task.

374
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 5: You just kicked back and the Milwaukee Bucks.

375
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: What's been the biggest surprise by the Milwaukee Bucks a

376
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: quarter the way through the NBA season?

377
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 5: How about how good brook Lopez is? I agree, great

378
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 5: to have this guy back. We've known about the defense.

379
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: He's been awesome defensively for the Bucks this entire season,

380
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 5: his entire tenure with Milwaukee, but he's stepped it up

381
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 5: defensively and offensively. He is crushing it right now, fifty

382
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: percent from field, forty from three to eighty percent at

383
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 5: the free throw line. He's averaging a Bucks best. You

384
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: know it's his Bucks tenure. This is the most points

385
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 5: he's averaged. This is the most blocks he's had his

386
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: entire career in the NBA. He looks basically like Brooklyn

387
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: Brook right now. I think he's kind of a shoeing

388
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 5: at this point for defensive Player of the Year. He

389
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: seems to be the leader in the clubhouse if you're

390
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 5: checking the tweets out there, and there's a potential he

391
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: makes an All Star Game right now, ten years apart

392
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: from his last time there with the Nets. I think

393
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 5: him coming back and being able to assume a huge

394
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 5: chunk of the offense. With Chris Middleton missing time, with

395
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 5: Drew Holliday missing time, pack Conitan was out for a while,

396
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: they've just had a lot of points off the board.

397
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 5: But Brooke has been able to step into that scoring role,

398
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: which is a little bit of a surprise for me

399
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: because he seemed to be pretty content to just be

400
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 5: a catch and shoot player for the Bucks the past

401
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: couple of seasons. But anytime they've needed him we saw

402
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 5: it in the playoffs against the Hawks. Anytime they've just

403
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 5: needed Brook Lopez to be a scorer, he can obviously

404
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 5: still do it. They've needed it early in the season

405
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: this year and he's really stepped up.

406
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 4: He's an All Star. I think he's going to make

407
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: the All Star team. Even as a guy who's averaging

408
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: fifteen and a half points a game. They're going to

409
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 4: pick a second Buck. It feels like to me.

410
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: Because the Celtics and Milwaukee will have sort of the

411
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: best records.

412
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: Well, I shouldn't just say just because they're going to

413
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 4: be a great team. Brook deserves it. Brooke is just

414
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 4: so good period, and he has just been phenomenal. He

415
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: has reinvented his game and this is going to be

416
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: his first All Star appearance in a freaking decade, which

417
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: would be the longest. It's the longest.

418
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 5: I mean, nobody ever actually followed that.

419
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 4: I know, got it, it's got to be the longest.

420
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 3: It's either going to be Drew Holliday or Brook Lopez. Yeah,

421
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: incredibly being a decade apart.

422
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: I think as an All Star.

423
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: Selection, dude just keeps reinventing himself over and over and

424
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: over again. He used to just work in the paint

425
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 4: and now they're finding him in the paint more. They're

426
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: finding him on a little dives and that kind of thing,

427
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: and he reinvented his shot, as Eric Name wrote about

428
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 4: on The Athletic Actually, Eric Name, shout out to Eric Name.

429
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: National Sports Media Association nominated nominated him as a Wisconsin

430
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: Sportswriter finalist Wisconsin back to the middle of the country.

431
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: So congrats to him and congrats to Brook. I think

432
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: as we've gone through all the All Stars in the

433
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: recent Bucks history, it's always been Chris Middleton has always

434
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 4: been the second one. He's not there. It's it's kind

435
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 4: of Wiggins, Like, you know, they didn't have Clay last year.

436
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: Wiggins got in there, and there's been talk before about

437
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: Bledsoe as the third guy, even Drew, But Drew hasn't

438
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 4: been phenomenal. This guy has been great. He's been phenomenal.

439
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: And yeah, oh yeah, here comes Chris Middleton.

440
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I guess possibly back this Friday, they're saying

441
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: with Chris Middleton returning to the Bucks. I think it's

442
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: it's fun to imagine to skip ahead to what may

443
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: Bucks versus Celtics and in a potential matchup wherever it is,

444
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: is it in the second round, is it more likely

445
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: in the conference finals of Brooke being a bit of

446
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: a difference maker against a team like the Celtics because

447
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: Robert Williams and Theory should be back, but of course

448
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 3: Brook can stretch the floor, and like maybe a difficult

449
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: sort of match up there for Robert Williams, and then

450
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: can Brook hold his own inside against him? I just

451
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: just fun to think about that, And like for the

452
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: Milwaukee to beat Boston, he'll have to he'll have to

453
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: play at an all star level like he's been on

454
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 3: both ends.

455
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 4: So I don't want to talk about how inevitable it

456
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: feels like, because I still we still have sixty games

457
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 4: left in the Eastern Conference. Reach team, but it feels

458
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: like those are these if those.

459
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 3: Two teams are like healthy, Robert Williams coming back, Chris

460
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: Middleton come back, Like I I can't talk myself into

461
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 3: any other team beating them four out of seven times.

462
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: Like as much as the Cavs have been great, is

463
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: the Sixers are obviously a beast would be but I

464
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: don't know. They just feel like on both sides of

465
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: the ball, and they obviously we've seen the how far

466
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: they've gone before, winning titles and getting the finals and

467
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

468
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 5: They're the two best teams in the league right now,

469
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: and both of them are missing a key starter. Yeah,

470
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 5: that's it crazy, Yeah.

471
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. Robbie Williams coming back too, he's been in that.

472
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was never here in America, really.

473
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: That's true, never really made it. Maybe Will and Kate

474
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 4: could have brought him. Yeah, he's on the practice floor.

475
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 5: I did see that clip.

476
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they overhead practice gym shot. He's blocking shots.

477
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 4: Pretty cool, love that shot. But even and Giannis had

478
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: just had speaking of last night's game, he had thirty seven,

479
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: thirteen and seven in the garden last night. No one cares.

480
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: He felled out, and he's been shooting better at the

481
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: free throw line too. He's coming around seventy three percent

482
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 4: in his last four games.

483
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and you know what,

484
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: I should take back what I just said that it's

485
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: inevitable that the Celtics and Bucks are going to.

486
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 5: Play the conference finals.

487
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 3: And here's why this copy By surprise, biggest surprise, they

488
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: have the Cleveland Cavaliers a better plus minus than the

489
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: Bucks than a team like the Nuggets out West. They

490
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: have the third best plus minus in the league right now,

491
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 3: behind the Celtics plus eight point six, the Suns plus

492
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: seven point four, and there's the Cavs plus six point nine.

493
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: They've been the hammering some teams, and after last night's

494
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: ass kicking, the Cavs have a top two defense in

495
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: the NBA despite ranking almost dead last in steels per

496
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: game and really quite low in blocks per game too.

497
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: So how are they getting it done? Well?

498
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: It's just impossible to score on them in the paint,

499
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: especially when Jared Allen is playing and him and Mobley

500
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: are there as you're one two. They rank fourth in

501
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: the NBA in that category. They're by far one of

502
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 3: the best defensive rebounding teams in the league. So they

503
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: just finish possessions and to piggyback off that, they don't

504
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: give up any second chance points, Like you have one

505
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: chance to score on this Cleveland Cavaliers team and then

506
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: like they grab the defensive rebounds, like you're not really

507
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: getting another chance. Because they're the best team in the

508
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: league in giving up the fewest second chance points to

509
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: their opponent. Teams are shooting under forty six percent. You know,

510
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: that's one of the best marks in the league. So

511
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: this defense is legit paired with a you know, a

512
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: top I believe seven offense. They're good and that plus

513
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: minus caught me by surprise, Like those those are the

514
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: signs of a really, really damn good team, and the

515
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: record represents that.

516
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 5: So maybe I am.

517
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: I think they're like a year away from beating I

518
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: think a fully healthy Bucks or Celtics team, But man,

519
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 3: that's the right trajectory with still a young squad.

520
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 5: They've beat the Celtics twice already this season, but it's

521
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 5: going to be a problem when they get to the playoffs.

522
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: And you got Dean Wade Garden. Sir Jason Tatum, I

523
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 5: would like to see a little more from Evan Mobley.

524
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 5: If I'm being quite honest, he's been basically the same

525
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: player he was his rookie season, which was a really

526
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: really solid player. But you know, he's still at fifteen

527
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 5: points a game just like he was last season. I

528
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: think he could probably be a better three point shooter,

529
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 5: but doesn't seem to be looking for it right now.

530
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 5: He just hasn't put a stamp on this season thus far.

531
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, those two wins over the Celtics both in overtime, right, so,

532
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: you know, very very competitive close games. Just looking at

533
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: their schedule, the Calves, they're nine and one at home,

534
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: so they've only lost one game there and ten of

535
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: their next thirteen are there in the uh, what's it

536
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: called rocket mortgage Arena?

537
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 5: They call it the rock.

538
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, some must be a rocket mortgage. Anyway,

539
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: they have a lot of home games. A field house,

540
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: that's what it is.

541
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 4: They got another mortgage on your field so that renamed

542
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: to True Build, isn't it. Oh that's another one. I'm

543
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: just kidding. Just names go ahead anyway.

544
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: That stretch there, that's like we're we're getting into the

545
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: new year almost that's past Christmas. They could have a

546
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: killer ass record if they continue to win these games

547
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: at home, so maybe they will be there with the

548
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 3: Bucks and the Celtics in terms of elite records. With

549
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: that very very heavy home schedule.

550
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: Right, they've been phenomenal. They you know how much I

551
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: love this Cavsteven. They had that tough stretch where they

552
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: lost five in a row, was it?

553
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

554
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's been a bit of a coaster. I

555
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 4: will say, as much as I love this team, I

556
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 4: thought that they would finish third in the Eastern Conference standings.

557
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 4: I think they sort of lost their chance to overtake

558
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: the Bucks because the Bucks are ahead of them, and

559
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: then they get Chris Middleton back. So I think this

560
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 4: is the way the Celtics are playing, by far and

561
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 4: away the best regular season team, and the Bucks have

562
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 4: been unhealthy.

563
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 3: So if the Cavaliers are the third or fourth seed

564
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference, that is a monstrous feat incredible, No,

565
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: it is it was. I made that my bold prediction

566
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem bold now. But with the Sixers

567
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: and the Raptors and the Hawks and even the Nets

568
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: to some degree in the Miami Heat, though they had

569
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: to fight with those teams for a third in the

570
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference and they've beat them all up so far. Yeah,

571
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: all right, Indiana Pacers, oh boy, the.

572
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 4: Fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. Who would have friggains

573
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 4: their twelve and nine And it's surprising to me that

574
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: they found their back court of the future now like

575
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: this fast, Who the hell thought that Benedict Mathern would

576
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: be a potential rookie of the year. It's him and

577
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: Ban Carrol. Ban Carroll's playing great, buddy, he is injured

578
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 4: the fact that he has come in beside Tyrese Haliburton, who,

579
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: even with bigger opportunity, has continued to just be a

580
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 4: pleasure to play with. I'm sure he's just finding everybody.

581
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 4: We've talked about the assist to turnover ratio that Chris

582
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: Paul like, oh, he.

583
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: Had some turnovers against Sacramento there ridiculous Indy Hallie Bowl.

584
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: Turnovers fifty assists of two turnovers, I guess in the

585
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 5: last four games.

586
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 4: So they got it. We just had a conversation about

587
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: whether or not the Hawks, Calves or Pacers were the

588
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: best backcourt and Trey said, not now, but five years

589
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 4: from now. And maybe it's true with Halliburton and Matherine.

590
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: When you put them beside Donovan Mitchell, who's a little

591
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: bit older obviously, beside Darris Carland and Trey and Jonathay

592
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 4: Murray's a little bit older. This could be a backcourt

593
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: that's together forever. They drafted Matherne at number six, behind

594
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: j and Ivy and Keegan Murray other guards in this draft.

595
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: And he is. He's a star. He just loves contact.

596
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 4: He's so decisive when he drives, he goes at it

597
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: real hard. He shoots the three forty on nearly six

598
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 4: a game, beside Haliburton again, who just passes to everybody.

599
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 4: They also wear zero and double zero.

600
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 5: Pretty cool.

601
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: That's gotta be a first a starting backcourt in NBA

602
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: history wearing zero and double zero.

603
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 5: And say, who did anyone play with? Westbrook is definitely

604
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 5: or Dame Damon Mellow or zero and double zero and four.

605
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 5: He's not a starting back.

606
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so anyway, they you even throw in Andrew Nebhard,

607
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 4: who they drafted, yeah, thirty first in the draft. They

608
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: look good. He's forty percent from three. They look good.

609
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: And it's surprising that they haven't traded Myles Turner. Buddy

610
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: heel to me. But when they're twelve and nine. It's

611
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 4: kind of hard to break up the party. I guess

612
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 4: they are. They are looking pretty solid. Well, they deal

613
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: one of those guys and just build hind Mathrin and

614
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: try and get you know, another wing ish or big

615
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 4: that sort of fits the timeline of Mathrine and Haliburn.

616
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: Feels like they will move off of those guys, but

617
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: you just wait for like an offer you can't refuse, right,

618
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 3: There's there's no rush to the like get these guys

619
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: out of here, like oh, like they're they're killing our chemistry.

620
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: It's like it feels like, I mean, it don't even

621
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: feels like it is. This is Halliburton's team. You know,

622
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: it's not it's not Buddies, it's not Miles Turner. It's

623
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: it's his squad. It feels like as as the point guard.

624
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, they'll just wait it out until they get

625
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: a I would assume a really really good deal that's

626
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 3: draft picks or a young prospect or or something that

627
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: they could add to the very very young core there Pacers. Man,

628
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: I thought they were gonna be the worst team in

629
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: the league. So I meet some crow on this one

630
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 3: right now. Where will they be at the end of

631
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: the regular season? I don't know, like will be a

632
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: playing team better. I guess my gut says I just

633
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: like I have to like double down on them, like

634
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: falling back to Earth, and maybe they'll be a ninth

635
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: or tenth seed, which it's still be surprising to me

636
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 3: because again I thought they'd be the worse. But yeah,

637
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: Mathurine's gonna win either Rookie of the Year or six

638
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: Man of the Year. Probably more likely you win six

639
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: many of the year. At this point, it's probably the

640
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 3: leader right now. Yeah, you see, I feel like on

641
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Twitter every night has a has.

642
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 5: A rookie ever won? Always see it, you always see it.

643
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 5: But you know it would behoove them, I think to

644
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 5: be bad in the second half of the season. Certainly

645
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: they've got their own pick this year. They're getting a

646
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: couple of extra first rounders, one from Boston, one from Cleveland.

647
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: Those aren't going to be great picks, obviously, but their

648
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 5: own pick could be great or they could just you know,

649
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 5: be a five hundred team try and make it to

650
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 5: the play in tournament. I think it's more likely they

651
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 5: go the other way. I do think it is funny

652
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 5: that despite the fact this is Tyrese Halliburton's team. Miles

653
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 5: Turner is going to take the game winning shot every

654
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 5: single time. Yeah, it's a little bit of a showcase,

655
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: for sure. It was opened the other night against the Lakers.

656
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 5: He might make one, He might make one.

657
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: Might Yeah, he was asking for that ball he keeps

658
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 4: as he took the initial one, which could have been

659
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 4: the game winner. Yeah, ounced out and then he wanted

660
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: it back. He is always firing those threes.

661
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's trying to get traded to the lad I

662
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: gotta show them I can hit a game winning three here.

663
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: I guess the other odd thing is beside him. Jalen Smith,

664
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: former Phoenix Sun is starting, which is strange because Jalen

665
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: Smith was always a center. But now it's those two

666
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: starting together. In Jaallyn Smith, it's firing threes, and so

667
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: does so is Miles Turner. So this team, I think

668
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: they're third in the league in terms of three pointers

669
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: per game. They're shooting like forty games. Give me a fire,

670
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: every guy, every guy in the rotation, fires away.

671
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 5: You said, Michael Bridges, Jeff Bridges, Todd Bridges. What about

672
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 5: gain Bridge, Gainbridge, field House, shut up, Shut the hell up,

673
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 5: gain Bridge.

674
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: I can't even say, it's Fieldhouse to me, that's what

675
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 3: it's called.

676
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that stupid. I do like the name Fieldhouse though,

677
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: for a reason. Yeah, it's very very good. Yeah, it

678
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 5: feels like there's just a mice running around the bar.

679
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 5: It seems drafty for sure. Yeah. Yeah, there's a tractor

680
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 5: somewhere in there. All right, Chicago Bulls, I got him.

681
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 5: That took him from you.

682
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Biggest surprise ear Muff's biggest surprise about the Bulls is

683
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: that they have the league's worst record in games that

684
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: were within five points in the last five minutes.

685
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: We're talking, we're talking clutch situations.

686
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, clutchers two and eight record.

687
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: That's a that's crazy to me because they have what

688
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 3: who's considered one of the best closers in the game

689
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 3: really in Tomato Rosen. So I think that's the wild part.

690
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: And according to John Schuman from the NBA Power Rankings,

691
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: that guy's dropping tidbits left and right.

692
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 5: Holy moly.

693
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: She pointed out, DeRozan is one of like four players

694
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: Jeremy Grant, Paul George Dennismith junr As the others with

695
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: at least three buckets to tire or take the lead

696
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 3: in the final minute of the fourth quarter or overtime.

697
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 5: So DeRozan, he's clutch.

698
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: But when you had it all up, all these close

699
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: games within five down the stretch, they're two and eight.

700
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: That's their clutch record, which the works worse than the Magic,

701
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: which are right on their heels in terms of like

702
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: win percentage, a low win percentage. So Magic beat the

703
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: Bulls in a clutch game too, Yeah, right, right, right,

704
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 3: So that's a you know, the record is bad, but

705
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: they win half of those. Pull him out and it's

706
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: not as gross, but that as optimistic.

707
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, that's a that's a.

708
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: Shuman stat there for you. I don't know if Schuman

709
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: still jumps in the stream team is he there? Shoot

710
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: you there?

711
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 5: It depends on if it's tidbit season or not, and

712
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 5: right now it's tidbit season. DeRozan last year was money

713
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: in the clutch. He had so many game winners. He

714
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 5: obviously had the back to back Knight's game winner. So

715
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: even like a small step back in clutch percentage, it's

716
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 5: gonna be bad for the Bulls. And you're seeing if

717
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 5: a like, you know, I don't know, he didn't shoot

718
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 5: eighty percent in the clutch last year, but it kind

719
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 5: of felt like it and the Bulls overperformed. Now he

720
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 5: is not shooting that well and they're underperforming. Another surprise,

721
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 5: I would say is Billy Donovan getting an extension months ago.

722
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 5: I don't know about it. Why. I don't know. Why

723
00:33:59,040 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 5: has that kept a secret?

724
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: I do.

725
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 5: There's no there's no reason.

726
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, there is no reason. Because they got to

727
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: the playoffs and they won like forty six, and so

728
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 4: when you give a coach an extension after that, you know,

729
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: it's the Nate McMillen thing. It's anybody. Everybody says, oh, yeah,

730
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 4: they got to the playoffs, that's good. But now when

731
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: they're bad, you report.

732
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 5: It very strange. It's like they got better, Uh in

733
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 5: Donovan's first season, they got better the next season. That

734
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: would have been the time to announce it. Yeah, that

735
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 5: would have been the time I'd been like, hey, we

736
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: signed this guy to an extension, Not when you come

737
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: in and kind of have a disappointing start. Yeah, Instead,

738
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 5: they had to like leak it. I guess if you

739
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 5: want to call it that.

740
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: After people were like Billy Donovan on the hot seat,

741
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: really tuning them out.

742
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 5: This is bad this isn't going well. They're like, actually,

743
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: I locked him up already. This seat is incredibly He's probably.

744
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: Not going anywhere all this quickly. So yeah, we just

745
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: slipped that in there. All right, final team, the Detroit

746
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 3: Pistons in the Central Division.

747
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 5: What do you got?

748
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, not one of the best teams in the Central Division.

749
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: I think the biggest surprise is we had that preseason

750
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: debate which up and coming team between the Pistons and

751
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: the Magic would be better, would be more watchable? And

752
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: it's surprising the Magic have kicked the Pistons ass. Now

753
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 4: I would saysonability, which really and better? They're better, They're

754
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: play clutch games. They're two and a half points per

755
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: game worse. The Pistons are in terms of point deferential

756
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 4: that's the second worst in the NBA. Spurs are the worst,

757
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 4: but obviously injuries play a factor here. They're dead last

758
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: in the East. They're five and eighteen. Kate Cunningham has

759
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 4: played half the team's games. They're still debating whether the

760
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: shin will have surgery or whether or not he's going

761
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 4: to just rest it and play through it, so that's

762
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 4: a huge factor. He had a good stretch while he

763
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: was playing, But I guess some other surprising things about

764
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: all these young and up and coming guys on the Pistons.

765
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 4: Let's go through the young and up and comers that

766
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 4: people were excited about. Sadik Bay I'm talking about fifty

767
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 4: point games here. He had won at the end of

768
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 4: last season because he's a great three point shooter, but

769
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 4: he's only shooting twenty seven percent from three. Weird, the

770
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: easy thirty year player, thirty eight, thirty four, and twenty

771
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 4: seven in his first three years in the league. On

772
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: the other side, Isaiah Stewart, the Beef stew starting center.

773
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 4: Many many people have likened him to Al Horf in

774
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: terms of the shot selection, how he should be able

775
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: to step out and hit a few threes a game,

776
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 4: and he's been great thirty six and a half from

777
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: three since November two. The man is ballin from three

778
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 4: to fifty one point seven percent. Next to James Edwards

779
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 4: where that's that and he takes four games, so that's great.

780
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 4: Jay n Ivy has been good at shooting guard alongside

781
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 4: you know, Kate Kinne Hammy are those are the guys

782
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 4: that we're talking about. And Jalen Duran has been good

783
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 4: off the bench. So they've been fine. But if they

784
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: don't have Kid, yeah, this team just yeah, it's not

785
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: it's it's just goes from potential yelling at the play

786
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 4: in tournament to not even close. So that's the most

787
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: surprising thing I guess is that Sadik Bay isn't isn't balling,

788
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 4: and that the Magic have been a little bit more enjoyable, just.

789
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 5: Mainly because a bowl Bull Yeah, bowl in Bonkaro. Yeah.

790
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: I think the problem is that when you watch the Magic,

791
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: it's like Bull is fun to watch it. Ben Carro

792
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 5: is super fun to watch. When you watch the Pistons,

793
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 5: unfortunately their best player is Bowie on Bogdanovic and that's

794
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 5: kind of the problem there. Sadique Bey's career shooting splits

795
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 5: are hilarious though, thirty five kurt percent from three for

796
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 5: his career, but he shoots fifty four percent against the Celtics,

797
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 5: like he's just knocked down shooter against the Celtics. There's

798
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 5: always that random guy that just kills your team. It's

799
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 5: Sadiq Bay for Boston.

800
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 3: Weird one Will Lou calls that the Gerald Henderson Award. Yeah,

801
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 3: there you go, there, you're talking about the random guy's

802
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 3: killing your own squad.

803
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 5: Cork Mas for the Bulls. Yeah, there you go.

804
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: All right, that's the Central Division. Let's take our first break.

805
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 3: When we come back, we'll hit the other two divisions

806
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference to share our biggest surprises.

807
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere, all right, back in the Classic Factory.

808
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna walk down to Atlantic Avenue.

809
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 5: Atlantic Division.

810
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: Boston Celtics the big surprise, but every team in the

811
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: Atlantic Division. We start with the Celtics. Here's the biggest

812
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: surprise about Boston. They have the most potent and efficient

813
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 3: offense in NBA history. The Celtics have a one twenty

814
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 3: one point five points scored per one hundred possessions, and

815
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 3: that is four point two more than the highest mark

816
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 3: in league history, which is the Brooklyn Nets of twenty

817
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, who only played seventy two games that season,

818
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: but one twenty one point five offensive rating. It's just

819
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: nuts what they're doing right now after twenty two games.

820
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: And we're always talking about the fifty to forty ninety

821
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: club when we're talking about players and like mad efficiency,

822
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: you know, fifty percent from the field, forty percent from three,

823
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: ninety percent at the line, your Larry Birds, your Steve Nash's,

824
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 3: your Dirk's, your Curry's, your Cadi's, your Mark Prices, your

825
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: Reggie Miller's, the best of the best. Right, we need

826
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: to explore the team version of this fifty four ninety club.

827
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: I want to propose like a fifty forty eighty five

828
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 3: because ninety percent at the line is a team and

829
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 3: we ain't getting there eighty five percent. It's doable because

830
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 3: the Celtics are doing it. I crunch the numbers this morning, okay,

831
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 3: and the only team to hit those shooting splits fifty

832
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: from the field. I'm rounding up a little bit. They're

833
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 3: forty nine point eight, but fifty from the field, forty

834
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: from three as a team, and eighty five as a

835
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: team at the line, it's the Boston Celtics. So they

836
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 3: are just doing it at all three facets of the

837
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: offensive game. And if you want to tweak that criteria

838
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: and drop the team's field goal percentage, let's say to

839
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 3: forty eight percent, and then the team's free throw percentage

840
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 3: to eighty, you still only add one team to the mix,

841
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: which was the twenty twenty twenty one Clippers. Also in

842
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 3: that seventy two game, shortened season. They won forty seven

843
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: games out of seventy two. But they're the only other

844
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 3: forty eight forty and eighty team squad. When it comes

845
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: to shooting the ball, they shot forty one point one

846
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 3: percent from three.

847
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 5: That Clippers team did.

848
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: Wild everyone was lights out, you know, the Nard Dog,

849
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 3: Marcus Morris, Reggie Jackson, Paul George Kawhi was just under

850
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: forty percent, but toomb was lights out. So the Celtics, man,

851
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 3: they're like, right now the best team we've ever seen offensively,

852
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 3: and like just for shits and gigs. I dropped the

853
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: uh three point percentage down a little bit.

854
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 5: This man's getting the most out of this.

855
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: Yeah description stude, Yeah, but this is fun. This is

856
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: like a It puts into perspective how great the Celtics

857
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 3: offensive team is right now, because if you drop it

858
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 3: to thirty nine percent from three. So I am talking

859
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: about shooting splits as a team, forty eight from the field,

860
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 3: thirty nine from three, eighty from the line, this is

861
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 3: all you have, Okay. The six oh seven Steve Nash

862
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 3: Phoenix suns, the seven seconds or less suns, that makes sense.

863
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 3: Considered by many to be one of the best offensive

864
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: teams ever, the seventeen to eighteen Curry and Kevin Durant

865
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors that went on to win the title.

866
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 4: Love that.

867
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 3: And then that twenty twenty twenty one Brooklyn Nets team

868
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: which had Harden, Kyrie and KD. I mean they didn't

869
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: play a ton of games together, but they had some

870
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 3: elite offensive players. And then of course the twenty twenty

871
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 3: one Clippers and the Celtics of this year.

872
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 5: That's it. That's the list. That's the list. Man, that's crazy.

873
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 5: Didn't you have fun? They're on fire?

874
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: I did have.

875
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 5: I thought I put it into perspective right there.

876
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 3: Man's that's wild what they're doing A fifty to forty

877
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 3: eighty five as a team.

878
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 5: That's that's crazy as a player, let alone a team.

879
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 5: It is. You know.

880
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: It would also be crazy is if we tried to

881
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 4: edit every number you've said during the show into a short.

882
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 4: I think we could just sing numbers.

883
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 5: Now.

884
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 4: If we steal years, if we make years, you know,

885
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 4: throw a year eighteen nineteen, if we can include those

886
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: as numbers, I think we could put together a hell

887
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: of a medley. I think you could be I think

888
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: you could be strolling down Atlantic avenue and be listening

889
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 4: to that eighteen forty three fifty seven.

890
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 3: Are you proposing a new YouTube short category? NBA skeats,

891
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 3: watch love it stats, watch meets, NBS skeets, watch eiink.

892
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: I just blew your mind and the listener's mine and

893
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: the viewer's mine. There putting into perspective how great this

894
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 3: Boston Celtics offense is. And that's your YouTube short loop

895
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 3: it play it again.

896
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. I don't believe it, man, I

897
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 5: don't believe it. I don't think the Celtics are the

898
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 5: best offensive all time. Wow pointflation. It's a real thing.

899
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, I thought it was the MAVs, wasn't it.

900
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you would think so. The nineteen twenty season. We're

901
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 5: old enough to remember the MAVs. They get the best

902
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: offense of all time. That team is now eleventh, passed

903
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 5: by teams from last season, this season, and the season after.

904
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 5: The best offensive team of all time is the nineteen

905
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 5: eighty six eighty seven Lakers, because they are the only

906
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 5: team in the top twenty for offensive rating that's not

907
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 5: from the twenties sixteen seventeen season onwards. That's break knickers.

908
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 5: But they can make threes these days, they're allowed to

909
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 5: shoot them a lot, as Celtics have great shooters all

910
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 5: through their road. That's crazy, it's crazy. It'll go down though,

911
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 5: It'll go down when rob Williams comes back.

912
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm not going to stay at one twenty one, Oh

913
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 3: my god.

914
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 5: No, I'm talking percentages and stuff. Come down when Robert

915
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 5: Williams comes back, because right now they're just playing good shooters.

916
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, even the it's surprising. The Nuggets are right there

917
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 4: as well. They're in terms of percentages, they're the fifty

918
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 4: forty and then the three point percentage drops off for

919
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: their team. But I don't know why. I don't know why.

920
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 4: Who's missing so many threes? There are so many free

921
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 4: easy to hit forty percent of three pointers. No, no, no, no, no,

922
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that they're only a seventy five percent free

923
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 4: throw shooting team. If we want to talk numbers. No,

924
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 4: that's why it'd be difficult to stay if we're if

925
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: we're talking fifty forty ninety four teams, and you know

926
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 4: all all those names that you mentioned.

927
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 3: Fifty forty ninety will never happen as a team.

928
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: No, that's why it's a free throw line will be

929
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 4: the thing. Yeah, that's true. And even though the three

930
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 4: point percent, it's got to come down for Boston and Denver,

931
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 4: who are over four right now, I assume.

932
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: Does it does like Robert Williams is gonna be shooting

933
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 3: ten threes again.

934
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 5: They can shoot forty percent from three, I do think.

935
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one team that's tough.

936
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 5: That's free throw percentage. Ever, wait, it's the Celtics right now, yes, currently,

937
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 5: right now eighty five percent. Wow, amazing. NeXT's might sound.

938
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 3: No weird, it all sounds low like you're like, these

939
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: are NBA players, You're just like you feel like they

940
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 3: can hit.

941
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 5: Every didn't figure out how to shoot until recently. I

942
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 5: guess because number two on the list, it's this season's

943
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 5: Miami Heat. Number three on the list, that great Clippers team.

944
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: Number four on the list the Phoenix Suns from twenty

945
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 5: twenty one for free not a shoot now, Yeah, this

946
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 5: is straight free throw factoids.

947
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: Here, good, that's real, sick of dot that's hot.

948
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 5: Alright, let's go to the Philadelphia seventy six ers task.

949
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 4: What's a big surprise, big surprise, Steve Novak never got

950
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,959
Speaker 4: fifty forty ninety Just looking at all the Steves Heerr

951
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: fifty forty Kurr did it right? I don't know, is

952
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 4: now maybe not?

953
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 5: I don't think so. What's wrong?

954
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 3: That'st of the guys. I may have missed a couple.

955
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 5: Kyrie did it? I read it twice.

956
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 4: I think Kyrie. Yeah. Anyways, moving on the seventy six ers,

957
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 4: what's the surprise with them? It's an interesting team. Maybe

958
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: that Doc River is getting compliments. Maybe maybe that Joel

959
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 4: Embiid was disinterested to start the season and then boom,

960
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 4: he's an MVP candidate, just like that. Oh this guy,

961
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 4: he's out of shame, but oh he's an MVP candidate.

962
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 4: Or maybe that they've done well without their starting backcourt,

963
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 4: both of them, James Harden and Tyres Maxie out and

964
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 4: they've maintained it. It's not surprising that Tobias Harris is

965
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 4: filled in as a number one player because he's kind

966
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 4: of been that for other teams for a stretch. He

967
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 4: can do that. But it's just a very strange team

968
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 4: that they're sitting here twelve and ten tied for fifth.

969
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 4: I think, zoom out big picture, it's a surprise that

970
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 4: this team hasn't really come together, even if they're twelve

971
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 4: and ten and they're fifth in the Eastern Conference. There

972
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 4: they kind of do it in different parts. You know,

973
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: Embiid carries the team. He's got that crazy how you

974
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: use it rate like forty percent can carry the team.

975
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 4: But it's not a cohesive team. It doesn't look like

976
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: a championship team to this point. And I thought coming

977
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 4: into the season with all the weapons, with a Maxi

978
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 4: hard and backcourt, with Harris as their fourth guy, with PJ.

979
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 4: Tucker the perfect glue as their fifth guy, and Embiid,

980
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 4: they just weren't great. Maybe you can blame it on

981
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 4: Planner fascy Ice. Embid didn't come into the season and

982
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 4: Number one all that in shape. Number two looked a

983
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 4: little disinterested on the defensive end. Even though Maxie has

984
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 4: been great, Even though they do have a guy who

985
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 4: can win MVP and Joel Embiid, this team has not

986
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 4: been cohesive. And we expected them to be a number

987
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 4: one seed potentially in the Eastern Conference. So this is disappointing,

988
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 4: but it is odd that they have a guy who

989
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 4: could carry your team to a victory. They have Maxi

990
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 4: having a career year, and yeah and Doc rivers like, hey,

991
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 4: you're a good coach again sort of. So there's a

992
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 4: lot of weird things that you know, you kind of

993
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 4: puzzle pieces. Yeah, they're good, but not a cohesive bunch.

994
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 4: Not being able to do it for forty eight minutes

995
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 4: for long stretches. It doesn't seem like this team is

996
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 4: anywhere and within spitting distance of the Bucks or I

997
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: would agree with that.

998
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna go with biggest surprise off

999
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: the last night's game, PJ Tucker scoring. Yeah, hit two threes,

1000
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 3: last six points baby, yeah, this double his scores twenty

1001
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: six points in the month of November for PJ Tucker.

1002
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 5: Wow, stay tuned for a YouTube short.

1003
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, man coming fast and furious here.

1004
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 4: I rot he really screwed it of those late points. Yeah, yeah,

1005
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 4: it would have been nice to the last day of

1006
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 4: the month, all right.

1007
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 5: Toronto Raptors, Trey Kirby's gone, look at that. Let you

1008
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 5: and I flipped. That was good. What do you got

1009
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 5: for the Raps? I was honestly surprised to see that

1010
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 5: only og Ananobi is in the top twenty in minutes

1011
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 5: played so far this season. Only og and Fred are

1012
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 5: in the top twenty per game. I was surprised by

1013
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 5: that also surprising. Raptors have three guys who are juniors,

1014
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 5: Gary Trent Otto, Pork and Ron Harper. I think it's

1015
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 5: the second most in the league behind the Rockets, that's right, Yeah,

1016
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 5: Kevin Porter, Jabari Smith, Kenyon Martin ty Ty Washington. Oh yeah, yeah.

1017
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 5: It means there's a tight, tight senior. That's pretty cool.

1018
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 5: As for basketball surprises, I think we should start spelling

1019
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 5: Pascal Siakam with an extra s P A S s

1020
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 5: c al because this guy's been passing seven assists per

1021
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 5: game this season. He averages three point two assists per

1022
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,959
Speaker 5: game for his career. He's been trending upwards since Kyle

1023
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 5: Lowry left and has taken over a lot more creation responsibilities.

1024
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 5: But he's up to thirteenth in the league right now.

1025
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 5: Assist wise, has missed a little bit of time, but

1026
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 5: he's back.

1027
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 4: Baby.

1028
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 5: Raptors got six guys averaging double digits. A lot of

1029
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 5: it is because is able to find shooters and get

1030
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 5: in the lane and make the right decision. So his

1031
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: game has grown by leaps and bounds, and I think

1032
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 5: it's pretty cool to see him being a passer now. Yeah,

1033
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 5: He's he's been solid. He's been incredible.

1034
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're not talking about last night's game where Zion. Yeah,

1035
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 3: just he's pretty good bodied them and uh, I mean,

1036
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 3: I guess for the Raptors, Gary Trent Junior has was

1037
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: good off the bench once again.

1038
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 5: Maybe he's found his role there. But they got embarrassed

1039
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 5: by the Pelicans last night. It wasn't even close.

1040
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: They made like a fake run, fake run to make

1041
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 3: it like ten and you were like, ooh, it's five

1042
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 3: minutes left, maybe they'll make this huge comeback.

1043
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 5: They shut that down.

1044
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 3: Really really good game from Daniels and Troy Murphy, Troy

1045
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: Trey Trey Murphy.

1046
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 5: The third was huge. Troy Murphy showed it to that.

1047
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 5: Can't wait till we see a Troy Murphy junior in

1048
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 5: the NBA.

1049
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah right, but okay, any thoughts on the Raps there surprise,

1050
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 3: how do you? How have you felt about the Raptors?

1051
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 3: You know, a quarter of the way in the season.

1052
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 4: If past scale was there, they would be far better

1053
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 4: if they if he was far if he was healthier,

1054
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 4: they'd be way better than ten. So it's a role.

1055
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 4: It's been a roller coaster. There's been a two monstrous

1056
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 4: duds like yesterday's game, which have led them to a

1057
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 4: near five hundred record. I expect them to be a

1058
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 4: fifty win team, so all in all should be disappointed.

1059
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 4: But the way they play when everybody's health, this team

1060
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 4: is going to be very, very tough to deal with.

1061
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Scottie Barn slump is not great for Raps

1062
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 3: fans right now too, sure if you want to call

1063
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 3: it the sophomore slump. He's just been disappointing compared to

1064
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 3: obviously his rookie year. I started again last night, Watcho

1065
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 3: was back out of the.

1066
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how it should be done. Well, Scotty's not

1067
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 4: going to be coming off the bench people excited.

1068
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 3: Oh you're right, but one to seven? Yeah, bad, bad

1069
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 3: game from Scotty. And and look, lots of season left

1070
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 3: forts expectations.

1071
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 4: I heard social media is a big thing, and I

1072
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 4: think he may have heard a lot of the chatter

1073
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 4: in the summer that he's taken the next stup. He's

1074
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 4: going to be a superstar. Can't trade him for Kevin Duran.

1075
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 4: He'll learn, he'll learn, He'll be all right, all right.

1076
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 3: Next team in the Atlantic Division Nets.

1077
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 4: Oh baby, don't worry. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

1078
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 4: talk about crap with the Brooklyn Nets. I'm going to

1079
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 4: talk about Kevin Duran. I'm going to talk about one

1080
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 4: of the best players in the game, and I think

1081
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 4: the most surprising thing with the way he is playing,

1082
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 4: he could be an MVP candidate.

1083
00:50:59,000 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: He is.

1084
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 4: He's got the highest field goal percentage of his career.

1085
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 4: What Kevin Durant. Yeah, highest two point percentage of his career.

1086
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous. You want to John Schumann, Timbit, Tidbit, his

1087
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 4: mid mid range field goal percentage is stupid. Anything inside

1088
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 4: the arc. This guy is.

1089
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 5: He's perfected his craft.

1090
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 4: He's at home on a Monday night watching every game.

1091
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 4: This guy is, he really is. He is. It's what

1092
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 4: he does. He's got his highest free throw percentage. He's

1093
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 4: even learned to shoot better on his free throw percent

1094
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant, he's just turned thirty four. He leads the

1095
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 4: league in total minutes played, which is that's shocking.

1096
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 5: It's like him and Lowry here at the top two down.

1097
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, isn't it. That's weird oldies oldies, and

1098
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 4: I guess you know it's it's hindsight now. But if

1099
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 4: you go back August September. We just talked about Scottie Barnes,

1100
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 4: We talked about the phoenixs, We talked about Jalen Brown

1101
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 4: potentially being traded for Kevin Durant, all those teams that

1102
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 4: one team didn't just say we're going for the title,

1103
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 4: We're going for one run with Yes, yes, he's thirty four.

1104
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 4: But at the same time, if the Suns have them

1105
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 4: on their roster, they're easily the best team in the

1106
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 4: Western Conference. If the party are yeah, yeah, but with

1107
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 4: a bullet or a bullet. If the Raptors decide to

1108
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 4: trade og Annobi for Kevin Durant like they did for

1109
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard for one season, obviously they thought they would

1110
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 4: get more. And obviously they traded an old guy in

1111
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 4: Damarrow Older and Damar DeRozan as opposed to somebody like

1112
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 4: ogn Andobi, a team that likes to go for the championship. Hindsight,

1113
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 4: it looks strange when you were looking at Kevin Durant

1114
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 4: and what he's doing. It's a different outlook for the

1115
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 4: Raps than it was in the twenty eighteen summer. I

1116
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 4: get it. You've got Pascal and og and Barnes, and

1117
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 4: you want to know what they can become. But in hindsight,

1118
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant wasn't traded for which is weird.

1119
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, it is nuts when you think

1120
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 3: that he's averaging thirty and a half five and a

1121
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 3: half and he is.

1122
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 5: Eighth or ninth on the MVP tracker, I would guess.

1123
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 5: I mean, like Tatum took the top spot. Interesting. Interesting,

1124
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 5: like he's eight right now, that's right now where this

1125
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 5: guy is like.

1126
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 3: One of the greatest scorers of all time with a

1127
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 3: bang and uh and is doing it maybe more efficient

1128
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 3: than he ever has at this age. I know his

1129
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: team's twelve and eleven. Okay, there's that, but you know,

1130
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 3: similar to a sort of like a Lucas situation.

1131
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 5: And it's like he's, like I.

1132
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 3: Said, he's he's not even at the table. My god,

1133
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 3: He's like leaning on the bar, going.

1134
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 5: How do I get over to the spot.

1135
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: There's Jerome in the turtle neck. We forgot to take

1136
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 3: a new photo when Jerome was here. It's because I

1137
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 3: was so sick, you know, I couldn't I couldn't be

1138
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 3: seen in public, let alone take a photo. Is snot

1139
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 3: dripping down my nose and stuff like that.

1140
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 5: Well, we'll we'll retake that. So anyway, little love for

1141
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 5: Katie there.

1142
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, will he be traded? They're just gonna

1143
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 4: just gonna roll with this in Brooklyn, roll with a

1144
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 4: probably mediocrate wow. And then you see what happens upswing? Yeah,

1145
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 4: oh they are on the absolute upswing. But what is

1146
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 4: their ceiling?

1147
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 3: See TVD final team here in the Atlantic Division New

1148
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: York Nicks. They lost last night. But what do you

1149
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 3: got they lost last night?

1150
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah? Next or tenth in offense right now, they've got

1151
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 5: a top ten offense despite being middle of the pack

1152
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 5: in three point right. They don't take a ton of threes.

1153
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 5: They don't make them hardly at all. Thirtieth in percentage

1154
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 5: adds up to being twenty sixth an effective field goal

1155
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 5: percentage middle of the pack and free throws. So it

1156
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 5: doesn't really make sense how they actually have a top

1157
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 5: ten offense, except for here's the key. They do shoot

1158
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 5: a lot of threes, so the volume kind of mitigates

1159
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 5: the bad percentages. They take a lot of free throw attempts,

1160
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 5: easy points right there, and then they never turn the

1161
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 5: ball over and they crush the offensive class top five

1162
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 5: in fewest turnovers, and top five in most offensive rebounds.

1163
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 5: It's the definition of just show up, just be there.

1164
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 5: If you have the ball a lot and you rebound

1165
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 5: it when you miss it, kind of doesn't matter as

1166
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 5: much that you miss all the time if you're getting

1167
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 5: it back. So I think it's been a strange start,

1168
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 5: kind of under the radar. You know, nobody's really talking

1169
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 5: about the Knicks hardly at all right now. Julius Randall

1170
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 5: medium bounce back season. I would say he's not at

1171
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 5: all NBA levels, but he's not where he was last year.

1172
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 5: The big concern I would say for the Knicks right

1173
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 5: now is that RJ. Barrett needs to improve on his game.

1174
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 5: He's shooting forty percent from the field right now, largely

1175
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 5: because he's at twenty eight percent from the three point line.

1176
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 5: He's finishing a little bit better inside. Unfortunately, he's taken

1177
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 5: some more threes and not making him He's cut out

1178
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 5: the mid rangers, which is probably the weakest part of

1179
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 5: his game. But he's got to be a better shooter

1180
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 5: from the outside or an elite finisher, like if he

1181
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 5: wants to model his game after Jimmy Butler, that's a

1182
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 5: guy that doesn't take a whole bunch of threes, doesn't

1183
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 5: make a lot of them, but is a great driver,

1184
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 5: gets to the free throw line all the time and

1185
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 5: can finish inside. I think that's a good path for RJ. Barrett,

1186
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 5: but he's got to be better at finishing inside. Yeah,

1187
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 5: had any thoughts on the Knicks.

1188
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's what Argie Barrett was supposed to be.

1189
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 4: He had an incredible January, February, March and April a

1190
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 4: driving last year, getting too the rim. He was so good.

1191
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 4: The percentages are stupid. He he looked like a Jimmy

1192
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 4: Butler light to some degree, and then this year it's

1193
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 4: gone the other way. It's really strange. So he is

1194
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 4: a bit of a pendulum. If he plays great, then

1195
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 4: this team is above five hundred. Because Jalen Brunson has

1196
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 4: been really, really, really good for this team. He has

1197
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 4: been the rock that they've needed. He's been ridiculously solid.

1198
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 4: But they said at ten and twelve.

1199
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 3: They're just like the Classic, like they lose to good

1200
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 3: teams or great teams, and they beat the bad teams generally, right,

1201
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 3: Like their wins are against the Pistons and magic and Hornets,

1202
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 3: and they got one against the Jazz there. I guess

1203
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: they beat the Pistons twice, so it's like they're just

1204
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: like stuck in the middle. And I wonder will they

1205
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 3: panic trade and not even panic trade, will they make

1206
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 3: a move to like try and get.

1207
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 5: A star borderline like Godovin Mitchell type? Right?

1208
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, who's is there a disgruntled star of there?

1209
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 3: I didn't really feel like it.

1210
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 5: Right know. I suppose is always going to be a

1211
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 5: name that's in the mix, right Karl Anthony Towns I

1212
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 5: think could could possibly float into the trade discussions. And

1213
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 5: I've heard some zach Lavine chatter. Calvin.

1214
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: Those are good calls, Those are really good calls, especially Cat.

1215
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 3: I don't even mind that from the Wolves side of things.

1216
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: Look at me, I'm already talking myself into the moving

1217
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: off a cat.

1218
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 5: Uh. You know, maybe maybe it's bear coming back to

1219
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 5: the thinking about that one. Let's put that one aside.

1220
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 5: Put that one aside.

1221
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: The Knicks, Ok, they're fine, fine, Yeah, they're fine, all right,

1222
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 3: we gotta keep moving here. Southeast Division, the Landa Hawks.

1223
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 4: What do you got Well, I was fooled. I was

1224
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 4: fool John Tay Murray came over in the off season.

1225
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 4: They flew to Abu Dhabi had some preseason games against

1226
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Bucks. They looked like the better team on

1227
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 4: that floor in Abu Dhabi with that oversized print in

1228
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 4: the preseason. They're playing hard. They were consistent playing hard

1229
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 4: in the preseason. I was fooled. I thought this is

1230
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 4: a new team because this team has been consistently inconsistent

1231
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 4: the last couple of seasons. I thought de Jontay Murray

1232
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 4: would be the key to changing the effort level and

1233
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 4: changing the desire level, and just changing the offense to something.

1234
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 4: I know the offense has always been good, but really

1235
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 4: just to be sort of that steady hand. And they've

1236
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 4: been up and down again, and I think they're going

1237
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 4: to make a change based on their personnel, and that's

1238
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 4: that is because de Jontay Murray needs to get in

1239
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 4: the lane. Tray Young needs to get in the lane.

1240
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 4: He hasn't had his best season. He's been off shooting

1241
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 4: the ball. And I think John Collins is finally going

1242
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 4: to move and even though he is ridiculously talented, I

1243
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 4: think they're going to trade him for somebody who you

1244
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 4: would consider less talented but more of a hard nosed

1245
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 4: three point shooting. Just stay the heck out of the

1246
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 4: way type of guy, so Trey and Dejonte can do

1247
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 4: their thing, and that guy, like a Jay Crowder for instance,

1248
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 4: could be the guy who just yells at people, has

1249
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 4: come from a winning situation, set screens, gets the heck

1250
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 4: out of the way and just fires away and plays

1251
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 4: really hard defense. So just to change up the dynamics there,

1252
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 4: because they had a fine win yesterday. They're twelve and ten. Yeah,

1253
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 4: but there needs to be a higher ceiling. It's like,

1254
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 4: you know, the Bulls went and made it all their trades.

1255
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 4: They again, went to the playoffs once and now they're

1256
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 4: sort of underwater. The Hawks don't want to be that.

1257
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 4: They don't want to be the team that traded for

1258
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 4: de Jon Tay Murray with all their picks, and I

1259
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 4: think they're going to just go further into it and

1260
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 4: trade it more talented John Collins for somebody that's not

1261
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 4: going to be as talented, but it could maybe fit

1262
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 4: fit that personality and bring back those Abu Dhabi vibes

1263
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 4: when things were great in the preseason. They win those games,

1264
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 4: I think, so they want at least one. That's fair.

1265
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 5: Sure.

1266
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 4: I think they may have won both. Yeah, I was

1267
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 4: sitting obviously.

1268
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 5: But.

1269
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just what this is the team that was

1270
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 4: like last year. Their offense is dropped off. Their defense

1271
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 4: had has gotten better, but again they're too inconsistent the

1272
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 4: effort level. They don't scrap and play hard. And I

1273
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 4: think that's where trading a guy like John Collins for

1274
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 4: a three point shooter and more of a rough and

1275
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 4: tumble Tucker Crowder type dude is what's gonna happen. Or

1276
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 4: you know, it could even be a Utah, a trade

1277
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 4: with Utah that John Collins could be happy. They're him

1278
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 4: and Larry markin in so much space, so much for Rome.

1279
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 4: That could happen, That could happen. I could see that happening.

1280
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1281
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Look, twenty two games into the season, if you had

1282
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 3: said Hawks have a top ten defense, you'd be like, oh, god, man,

1283
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 3: they must be sitting at top of the Eastern Conference

1284
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 3: because they got Trey Youngster on the team. Yeah, they

1285
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 3: got a great elite offense.

1286
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 5: They don't.

1287
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 3: They have a tenth ranked defense and a seventeenth ranked offense.

1288
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 3: I think you said that the other day, Trey, and

1289
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 3: that is perplexing. And they are so inconsistent game to game.

1290
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 3: I'd say even half to half with this team, you

1291
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 3: don't know which team. You go down and watch a

1292
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 3: Hawks games, like they look unbeatable at times and then

1293
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 3: they look like they they've checked out and they don't

1294
01:00:57,920 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 3: have a ton of fight to them at times when

1295
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 3: the other team goes on a run. So it's a weird,

1296
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 3: weird season. Yeah, you almost have to ship. I think

1297
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 3: they just have to shake it up, and it probably

1298
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 3: has to be Collins. How could it not be after

1299
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 3: being in Trader Yeah, three or four years, and he's

1300
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 3: a piece that it could at least get a player

1301
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 3: or two that you can, in theory add to your rotation.

1302
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that.

1303
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 3: I think that's happening here the next month. That's an

1304
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 3: emergency podcast.

1305
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 5: Wait John Collins. Yeah, oh yeah, I think that.

1306
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 3: Somebody pointed out we did a cam Reddish emergency podcast

1307
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 3: last year. Interesting, So I mean that's the case when

1308
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 3: we're definitely doing John Collins any Hawks thoughts here.

1309
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,479
Speaker 5: I think their offense will turn around when Trey really

1310
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 5: gets going. This season, he's thirty percent from three and

1311
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 5: he's finishing in the lane his worst percentages of his

1312
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 5: entire career. Probably some of that is having to figure out,

1313
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 5: you know, the new geometry of the court. Some of

1314
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 5: it is that the Hawks don't have very good shooting

1315
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 5: right now with Bogdanovic out of the lineup, and you know,

1316
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 5: Collins's role has been minimized, so he's not getting as

1317
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 5: many shots. Clint Capella's standing there in the lane. De

1318
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 5: Jontay Murray's hitting at a you know, a league average rate,

1319
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 5: but he's not a scary outside shooter. So there's probably

1320
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 5: just more guys hanging out in the lane right now,

1321
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 5: which makes it tough for Trey. But I assume he'll

1322
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 5: just have a super hot streak at some point where

1323
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 5: he's averaging thirty a game. It'll be like, exactly, yeah,

1324
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 5: it really will be.

1325
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 3: With that, He'll have a couple of player weeks in them. Yeah,

1326
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 3: he just goes out a run. But not not inspiring

1327
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 3: right now for sure.

1328
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 4: A Noo.

1329
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 5: There's this team in the Miami Heat. It's actually kind

1330
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 5: of nice that they go back to back here because

1331
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 5: this team is something I'm more I will be surprised

1332
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 5: if they don't make a trade because I don't think

1333
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 5: this Heat team is good enough as is right now.

1334
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 5: It just feels like they took a tiny step back

1335
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 5: this season, whereas the rest of the Eastern Conference took

1336
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 5: a tiny step forward. Jimmy Butler has been balling, but

1337
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 5: he's already missed nine games. I think Bam out of

1338
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 5: Bayo has made a mini leap as the go to

1339
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 5: guy with Butler missing games, but tyler hero shot is

1340
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 5: not there yet. Kyle Lowry has been super inconc this season,

1341
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 5: and the max Strus gave Vincent and Cody Martin. They've

1342
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 5: had fine seasons, like fair enough seasons, but they're not

1343
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 5: changing so much for this team. They look all right

1344
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 5: when Jimmy plays because he can really drag them to wins,

1345
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 5: but they just got to do a little bit something.

1346
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 5: They never replace PJ. Tucker right, like Cody Martin shooting

1347
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 5: forty percent from three, He's probably not gonna hold to

1348
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,439
Speaker 5: that the entire time. It just feels like a team

1349
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 5: waiting to make a trade, waiting to get as healthy

1350
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 5: as possible and figure something out going forward. Schedule lightens

1351
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 5: up for the heat through December. They might look okay

1352
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 5: by the end of the month, but I'm still expecting

1353
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 5: a lot of activity at the deadline, and I think

1354
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 5: Bald will be a target again. Because he's always been

1355
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 5: a target for them. I think John Collins should be

1356
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 5: a target for the Heat, like he would really really

1357
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 5: help their team. And then Jay Crowder just seems like

1358
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 5: he's going to be a Miami Heat at some point

1359
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 5: unless he wants to go to the Bucks. So I

1360
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,439
Speaker 5: think they have ways of getting better, but underwhelming start

1361
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 5: for the Heat. I think, yeah, who will.

1362
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 3: Strength first when it comes to trading the Heat? The Hawks,

1363
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 3: the MAVs, or maybe the Wolves, maybe the Knicks too,

1364
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 3: if you want to throw in there, like those teams

1365
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: that are like five hundred teams that definitely want to

1366
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 3: be much better because of their their market or trajectory

1367
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 3: or trades they've previously made. Who will who will make

1368
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 3: them move first? That's why I can't wait to find out, Like,

1369
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 3: we got a couple more teams. We gotta move with

1370
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 3: some pace here. The Washington Wizards. Biggest surprise about the

1371
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 3: Zards is there that the they're one of only three

1372
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 3: teams in the league with three twenty point per game scores.

1373
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 3: And this is trivia time. Truthfully, truthfully, I think the

1374
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 3: Wizards are the only squad with three twenty point game

1375
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 3: scores just because of games played because these other two

1376
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: teams have three twenty point game scores, but one guy

1377
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 3: from each one missed, you know, significant time half the games.

1378
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 5: Can you name the other teams? Clippers, No, I thought

1379
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 5: it might be Philadelphia.

1380
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 3: There you go, So you got indeed Maxie and Harden,

1381
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: but the Beards only played nine games, okay. And then

1382
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 3: the other one Western Conference Nuggets. No, I think they're

1383
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 3: in the scene, probably two as those Nuggies you know

1384
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: in Portland Trailblazer. Yes, Simon's Grant and Lillard, but names

1385
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 3: only played in eleven games. So the Wizards they're big three,

1386
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 3: you know, with Bradley Beal twenty three point six points

1387
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 3: three game, Kuzma twenty point six, and then Porzingis at

1388
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 3: twenty one point six. He is arguably having the best

1389
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 3: season of his career. A big part of that is

1390
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 3: he's playing knock on wood. He's still healthy, but he's

1391
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 3: like a top twenty five player in terms of like

1392
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 3: wind shares and player efficiency rating and stuff like that.

1393
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 5: He's been really, really good.

1394
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 3: I think has like a sneaky borderline All Star case

1395
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 3: to be made. But yeah, you got bial playing seventy

1396
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 3: five percent of the games. You got three guys that

1397
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 3: fill it up and then there's a drop offan drastically.

1398
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 5: But I was wondering.

1399
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 3: I was like, is this Zard's team with these three scorers, Like,

1400
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: are they reminiscent of like the two thousand Wizards. They're

1401
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: even wearing the throwbacks right now on some nights because

1402
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 3: those teams nearly had three twenty point per game scores.

1403
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 3: It was Gilbert Arenas, Antonine Jamison and Larry Hughes the

1404
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 3: one season, and then that got flipped into Croun Butler.

1405
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 5: I thought it would be yeah, as the third guy.

1406
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 3: I don't think they never really got there, but they

1407
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 3: were like nineteen points and like you can round up

1408
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 3: and you get there. But I think this Wizard's team

1409
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 3: might be like those Wizards teams forty to forty five wins,

1410
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 3: a playoff appearance, probably a first round loss.

1411
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 5: Bob's your uncle. I see some similarities there.

1412
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 4: I think those teams get disrespected in those they were.

1413
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 3: Going up against Lebron A lot of the time it

1414
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 3: was it was Raptors like in that sense.

1415
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, if they can achieve that, I think that'd be

1416
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 4: a great achievement. That team won a playoff series. That

1417
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 4: team is Uh, yeah, it's it's forgotten. But they dressed

1418
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 4: cool and that's why they're throwing back their jerseys to

1419
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 4: that team. But if this team can get to forty wins,

1420
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 4: what did That's a heck of an achievement. Now they're yeah,

1421
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 4: sitting at five hundred right now. Yeah, that would be

1422
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 4: a great season for them.

1423
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 5: We hit the over.

1424
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was it like thirty?

1425
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like thirty three thirty fourth Charlotte Hornets. Two more

1426
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 3: teams left, Trey, what do you got?

1427
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 5: I'm surprised the Hornets don't have the currently worst record

1428
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 5: in the league right now. It's a little bit of

1429
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 5: a shock. LaMelo's played ninety eight minutes. Gordon Hayward he's

1430
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 5: hurt right now. He's already missed ten games. Terry Rozier

1431
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 5: has missed eight games. They rolled out probably the worst

1432
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 5: starting lineup we've seen in the league so far this

1433
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 5: season a couple of games ago. Tayo Maladon, Jaylen McDaniels,

1434
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 5: Mason Plumley, Kelly Ubred Junior and PJ Washington who Wolf?

1435
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 5: But I got six wins. They've beat the Hawks, Warriors

1436
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 5: seventy six ers in timber Wolves. The worst teams in

1437
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 5: the league only five wins. Another good surprise though. I

1438
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 5: was watching the Hornets play the Wizards not too long ago,

1439
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 5: and Kai Jones got a fast break and there was

1440
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 5: a guy only like two steps behind him. He still

1441
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 5: threw down a reverse dunk on the fast break. That

1442
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 5: was pretty cool and surprising. Not much to say about

1443
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 5: the Hornets, man, we saw their peak. We saw him

1444
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 5: take down the Hawks. Huge Nick Richards games that was

1445
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,640
Speaker 5: wed there. That was maybe their peak. That was a

1446
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 5: big time.

1447
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1448
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 5: I think there were two and one at that.

1449
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 3: That's a team I could We've talked about before, so

1450
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 3: we don't need to go over again, but could move

1451
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 3: some of these guys.

1452
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 5: If anybody can convince himself that they could contribute.

1453
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 4: To your team, they got it. They gotta do it. Terry,

1454
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 4: Terry Rozier, Kelly Ubray and even getting off one of

1455
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 4: those the bigs, just so the young guys can play.

1456
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 4: Not that you're getting a lot back for Mason Plumley,

1457
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 4: but play Nick Richards, play Mark Williams. What are we

1458
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 4: waiting for here? It doesn't seem to be much upside.

1459
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 4: It's it's tough because if Flamelo is in the lineup,

1460
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 4: you can win every game. But yeah, the other teams

1461
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 4: are far more healthy that are, you know, one through ten,

1462
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 4: it is surprising that they're only a thirteenth.

1463
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 5: Well okay, one game on the bottom.

1464
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it feels worse a week because a guy

1465
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 4: who was an All Star last year and obviously he hasn't.

1466
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. With an offense right

1467
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 5: now they are. That's a tough watch.

1468
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 3: Well, good thing they brought Steve Clifford back steep, all right,

1469
01:08:58,920 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 3: the Orlando Magic.

1470
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 5: Biggest surprise about them.

1471
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 3: It's bull, bull Baby, it's bull baby. It's been fine

1472
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 3: over his last seventeen games. So when he went into

1473
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 3: the starting lineup, he's averaging fourteen and eight. Okay, it's

1474
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 3: not gonna blow you away, but decent, decent shooting percentages.

1475
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 3: Fifty nine percent from the floor for the seven to

1476
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 3: two bowl, Bull and forty one percent from deep chipping in,

1477
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 3: you know, close to two blocks per game. I think

1478
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 3: one point seven over that stretch of seventeen games. He

1479
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 3: looks like a jumbo sized point guard though out there,

1480
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 3: like he brings the ball up, like he like pushes

1481
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 3: the tempo. He can attack a defender off the dribble

1482
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 3: and Durant just gave him high praise. And Katie's a

1483
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 3: sickle like us. He watches all these games. He just

1484
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 3: played recently against the Magic, and this is what Durant said.

1485
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 5: He's unique. He's tough to deal with. You've seen his

1486
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 5: confidence growing by the game.

1487
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 3: He can do pretty much everything on the basketball court.

1488
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 5: That's a task. Mellislide.

1489
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 3: When I read that, I was like, I love that

1490
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 3: line from Tasty. Kadi must listen to no ducks. Last

1491
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 3: few years, Bull's been in and out of the lineup,

1492
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 3: hurt G League stints, but I love what the Magic

1493
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 3: are doing with them. They're putting them at the point,

1494
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: sometimes they're playing them at the five, They're moving them

1495
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:05,799
Speaker 3: around because he's.

1496
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 5: Such a versatile player.

1497
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 3: Again, that was Kadie giving some love to Bowl Bowl

1498
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 3: and he is one of the the rare bright spots

1499
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 3: outside of ban Caro. The start of the season when

1500
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 3: he was dunking on guys in Game one, putting down

1501
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 3: maybe like Dunk of the Year nominees. But then he

1502
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 3: missed seven or eight games and they've just been decimated

1503
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 3: by injuries. What's going on with you Orlano Magic? Like

1504
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 3: training staff is this team always injured or is it

1505
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 3: just me like it always feels like there's five guys

1506
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 3: out of their lineup, like for the last three seasons,

1507
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 3: but this year man Caro Okay misses a stretch, Cole

1508
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 3: Anthony and Gary Harris, they barely played Suggs, Wendell Caarr,

1509
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 3: Junior Mo Bamba. Ok they were all out of the

1510
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 3: lineup last night. Jonathan Isaac, they tell me he's still

1511
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 3: an NBA player, but I don't believe it. And then

1512
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 3: Markel feltse.

1513
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 5: He just came back last night. So just a lot

1514
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 5: of a lot of injuries. And I feel like that's

1515
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 5: the case every year with them. So bull Bull at

1516
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 5: least is a bright spot. Bull's balling. Just let him cook. Yeah,

1517
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 5: they're like whatever, just bring the ball up and do

1518
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 5: some cool stuff because you're actually able to stay on

1519
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 5: the court now, Like he's not fouling all the time.

1520
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty impressive. I thought it was funny

1521
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 5: that Paula Boncaro compared him to Victor wembin Yama. Hi praise.

1522
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 5: But yeah, the magic they're they're not very good, but

1523
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 5: at least they're entertaining to watch.

1524
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so the magic get Wemby paired with bull bull

1525
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:21,719
Speaker 3: keep bomba Ben Carrow.

1526
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 5: Damn. They just got a short point guard. That's it.

1527
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 5: Jalen sucks. I've seen him hit some big shots. Yeah.

1528
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 5: I also saw the Orlando Magic hopped on the big

1529
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 5: hat trend right away. Oh yeah.

1530
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 4: They had also.

1531
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 5: Instagram carousel of them wearing just a gigantic Orlando Magic

1532
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 5: hat like a Noggin Boss. We're talking about authentic. I

1533
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 5: don't know if it's authentic dogging boss, but it looked

1534
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 5: like it.

1535
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,000

1536
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 4: Fultz was the star of that roulette, I think who

1537
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 4: was leading the way. It was first time I've seen

1538
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 4: Mark L. Fults in a while. Yeah, first game he

1539
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 4: played yesterday. I will give Franz Wagner some lefty. He's

1540
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 4: nineteen and a half points on fifty percent and shooting

1541
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,719
Speaker 4: that's difficult for you know, a guard wing. He hasn't

1542
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 4: shot below forty percent since October in a game.

1543
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 5: He is.

1544
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 4: He is ridiculously consistent. He's doing exactly what they asked.

1545
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 4: If one of their guards came through, if a Coal

1546
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 4: or a Sugs took the next step, yeah, or folks

1547
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 4: took the next step. They could be a very good team.

1548
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 4: But yeah, Boncaro and bul Bull are making us forget

1549
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 4: about the other holes in their lineup. But Boncaro is

1550
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 4: the real deal, probably Rookie of the year. Eight and

1551
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 4: a half free throw ut for a game with superstar

01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 4: Killer Bees. They were great. Was that the team that

1688
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 4: went sixteen and out? The Killer Binoculars?

1689
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 5: Mercury Morris in the backfield?

1690
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 4: Mercury what else we got.

1691
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 5: Let's get to tweet the night. Let that make it quick,

1692
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 5: the cutest tweets. That's what's big time. Very very cute.

1693
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 5: Cute moment. Cute moment from the Nuggets and Rockets game

1694
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,440
Speaker 5: last night. Postgame, Nicolay Jokic sees his countrymen Boban Marjanovich.

1695
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,759
Speaker 5: They greet each other with a deep hug, three kisses

1696
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 5: on the cheek. DeAndre Jordan loves it. He's lacking it.

1697
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, this is cute. So he goes in

1698
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 5: for the hug. He goes for two kisses, but he says, no, no,

1699
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 5: it's we did three kisses. Got a tweet from Ibraham

1700
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,560
Speaker 5: Asky said, Tess Melis, we need the analysis on the

1701
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 5: cheek kiss on Bobon because he goes in for two,

1702
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 5: but Bobon corrects him to do three kisses Serbian style.

1703
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 5: Is this is this true?

1704
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 4: Yeah? I'm not Serbian, but.

1705
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 5: I think I think Ibrahim just assumes you know I

1706
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 5: am from that part of general kissing.

1707
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I have seen my my friend Alex Churchin and

1708
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 4: his family kiss each other three times as they greet

1709
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 4: each other. What a waste of time.

1710
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 5: One or two?

1711
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I grew up. I grew up twosies. I'm sure.

1712
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 4: I'm sure you're doing a lot of that to JD

1713
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 4: when you were in Greece. Yeah, you get two is plenty,

1714
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 4: is it not? Do we need a third? Do we

1715
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 4: need a third kiss? So? DeAndre Jordan felt natural. It

1716
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 4: felt natural for DeAndre Jordan for two kisses. That's what

1717
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 4: he did with and I think I think that's all

1718
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 4: you gotta do. I'm not sure why a third was added,

1719
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 4: just was added, like there was ever just there. That's

1720
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 4: what they do. Not to insult that in our culture.

1721
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 4: But three seems like a lot. So that's my that's

1722
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 4: my analysis. What do you think?

1723
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 5: Uh? You know, I did a quick Google search, but

1724
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 5: it turns out it's true. Yeah, Serbians generally kiss three

1725
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 5: times on the cheek as a greeting. There are many

1726
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,919
Speaker 5: different rumors why. It could be related to the Orthodox religion,

1727
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 5: the father, son, and Holy Spirit. It could be the

1728
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 5: three kisses celebrate life, death, and honor in that order.

1729
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,719
Speaker 5: It could be the second kiss on the original cheek

1730
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 5: is so that the other one doesn't cry.

1731
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 4: All I know, Well, then you only need two?

1732
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 5: Or is that serbians will never kiss twice? Adults will

1733
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 5: never kiss twice, is what I saw in this one

1734
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 5: Serbian web. They're judging you tens.

1735
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 4: That's an interesting one.

1736
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 5: Kiss.

1737
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, my man, Alexander Churchen would never kiss twice. He

1738
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 4: would he would always do it three times.

1739
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 5: So what did you guys do?

1740
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 4: He would always and he would only shoot three point

1741
01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 4: shots too. He would never shoot two points shots.

1742
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 5: So have we played with him? I think so. I

1743
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 5: think he does shoot a lot of three scratchet.

1744
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's very good.

1745
