Speaker 1: well well part. The Celtics, Sixers, Wolves still rolling. I'm

00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: still excited about the Wolves and the Sixers of that

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: all because those are unexpected teams. But today we're gonna

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: switch it up a little bit. We're gonna talk about

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: something that we're very thankful for, and that's the rookie class.

Speaker 4: Welcome man, Thank you appreciating glad to be here. Who

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: said Miles can go on vacation though? Who approved that? PTO?

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Hey look he did. Can't come across my desk, That's

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: all I'm saying.

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just you know, he wants to mess with

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: your head. He sends a broken zoom link. He wants

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: to see that you want to be on the show

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: enough to get through his tricks, his mind games. But

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: what what is John out to you? What is the

35
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: first thing you guys are checking for when you check

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: NBA stuff in the morning. Uh?

37
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: For me, like you like, I like looking at see

38
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: what the rookies have done. And you know, look, while

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: we're giving these rookies a lot of love and we should,

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: you know, look at the NBA is to young men's league,

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: as uh one Kevin Durant recently said. But I do

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: like to check it on the old heads and see

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: how they're doing. And you know, the old heads still

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: hanging on. Lebron's still out here pumping in some good

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: some good numbers, KDS deph Curry, you know, the old

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: heads still saying not quite yet, youngsters, We're still here.

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 5: You know.

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I'm checking for all of it.

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: But because I'm silly and ridiculous, I look at NBA

50
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 5: Twitter first and see what jokes, you know, folks got off,

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 5: and then uh, I'll see what those were related.

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: To after jokes. Yeah, that's good. Check for jokes.

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I like jokes. Jokes are good. Cool. Other thing I'm

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: checking those the odds on those in season tournament, on

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: the n season tournament. Uh, I don't know. I just

56
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: had this question because I saw a quote from a pacer.

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: I forget which pacer was, but they were like, we're

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: fully bought in on the end season tournament. Yeah. Haliburton's like,

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: we're in. We are motivated by this, And I feel

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: like that's something you have to take into account because

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: when you look at the odds, it's all just basically

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: looks the same as the championship odds, right, Like it's

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Bucks and the Nuggets and the Lakers,

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's going to be somebody who

65
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: really wants it and might not necessarily be like one

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: of those teams that's not necessarily turning it on at

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: this point in the season. But I could see a

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: team like the Pacers making some noise. What do you

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: guys think?

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a situation where, you know, yes, of

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: course the Pacers are the aspirations are to you know,

72
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: make the postseason. But if you're a team like that

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: that there are no certainly no guarantees, you might as

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: well take advantage of a potential the first in season,

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: you know, championship.

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Look, I am a big fan of this tournament.

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: Look at true, you guys know, we spend a lot

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: of our time criticizing the NBA. You know, we love

80
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: the sport, we want it to be great, so we're

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: gonna call attention to things that we don't like and

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: that are bad. But when they do something good, I

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: have to give them props. And the nd season Tournament

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: is a good idea. Now, someone like myself who is

85
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 4: a European football fan, the season tournament is not anything

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: new or weird to me. It's perfectly normal and it

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: makes perfect sense. It's not complicated, not difficult to understand.

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 4: I like the fact that for football for me, European football,

89
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: soccer for those of us in the States. I like

90
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 4: that my team has multiple chances to win trophies every year.

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: That is fantastic versus American sports, where's like, you know,

92
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 4: win a championship, you're a loser.

93
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately.

94
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Do you see this in foot the Ball as I

95
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: pronounced it, Like, Well, people who haven't won a title, like,

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: for instance, the Lakers being high up there in terms

97
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: of the odds doesn't make a ton of sense to

98
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: me because they are a team that has and maybe

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: like this is this doesn't matter because you know, they

100
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to narratives as much as I do.

101
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: But like they're a team that won a title recently,

102
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: and then we're like, had that title discounted for not

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: being like a real title, you know, like whatever Mickey

104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Mouse title of it all, the bubble title of it all.

105
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: So like I feel like Lebron's maybe not gonna go

106
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: his hardest for the n Season tournament as opposed to

107
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: somebody like Haliburton. But maybe that doesn't matter because Lebron

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: James is good at basketball.

109
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: Here's how it works though, right, and I hear what

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: you're saying, and look, you know, the best the gift

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: and the curse for Adam Silver would be for the

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 4: Lakers to be in the championship game of the of

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: the inaugural n Season tournament, right because you know.

114
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: We're gonna get a bunch of eyeballs.

115
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: So that works.

116
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: So that's good.

117
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: But the curse is, oh if Lebron says something like

118
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: who cares? You know, we're worried about Larry o b

119
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: come June or whatever. However, what I love about you

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: is in group plays. You know, Okay, you got to

121
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: win your group whatever. It's single elimination from here on

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: out right because of a bad night or Lebron's hurt

123
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: and they're out, well, so what, no, too bad you

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 4: don't win. And the Pacers in particular, because of how

125
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: they play with that up tempo style that's not easy

126
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 4: to scout for. You catch them on a Tuesday night

127
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 4: of the of a of a knockout game and you're

128
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 4: not ready, they'll run you out the gym.

129
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: Oh, well you're out.

130
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, And we we kind of alluded to it last

131
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: week at the very least. Yeah, it's it's one of

132
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: those where I really don't see the harm in it.

133
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: You know, you had people that are saying, like, well,

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 5: why you know, and a lot of that is probably

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 5: based in like not fully understanding you know, what it is.

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 5: You know, But we heard the same complaints in the

137
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: same you know, you know, hesitance when they introduced the plan,

138
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: and it has been absolutely fantastic, each of them, Like

139
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 5: each year that they've had it, it seemed, at least

140
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 5: on my end, it seems like it's gotten better.

141
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: So for me, you know, we.

142
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: Complain, complaining when the plan rolls around.

143
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: There you go exactly, We as human beings, our our

144
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: natural inclination is to reject the unfamiliar, Right, that's just

145
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 4: what we do as humans.

146
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: Everyone's got opinions about it.

147
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: Oh, this thing sucks. I'm like, how do you know

148
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 4: it sucks? It hasn't even happened yet and already it sucks.

149
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: Like right, it's like making a comment about a restaurant

150
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: you've never been to. How would you know if you

151
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: haven't been here, if you've been there and eating the food,

152
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: but you.

153
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: Already got an opinion about it.

154
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: Let it play out, and remember this is year one

155
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna look very different as it iterates and they

156
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 4: tweak and it goes over time.

157
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: So guys, I listen, I love it. I think it's great.

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: It's working, and really what.

159
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: It is is we complain, all of us complain about

160
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 5: November basketball, even December basketball not really meaning a lot

161
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, with some extra steaks, it does

162
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 5: mean something.

163
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: So like I'm on the same page.

164
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the single elimination of it all, I think we've

165
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: seen with the play in people can act like they're

166
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: not gonna enjoy it, but the second there's a single

167
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: elimination game with steaks, everybody is pretty That has.

168
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: Been proven over time, single elimination to be the number

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: one ratings thing in sports because literally, right, you just.

170
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Don't know you've a bad getting the best team can

171
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: get knocked out. That's what's so great.

172
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm expecting to see the Oklahoma City thunder

173
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Get getting some love in the odds for the n

174
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: season tournament fairly soon, which brings us to rookies. We're

175
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna start with Wemby, but we're gonna get to check

176
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: pretty pretty soon. But by the time this is released,

177
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: most teams will have played around fifteen to sixteen games,

178
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: so almost twenty percent of the regular season and a

179
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: fifth if my math is correct. Yes, that works. And

180
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: so I don't know, we have we have a sample size.

181
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: It's not a big sample size, but we've gotten a

182
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: chance to look at these young fellows and their teams

183
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: and Wemby, I don't know. I think this guy might

184
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: be good at basketball. I think he's got a future

185
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: in the league.

186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you there. I think I think

187
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: Weby's gonna be pretty good. Look, you know, san Antonio

188
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 4: clearly is not interested in winning games right now, and

189
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: that is a challenge for some one like Wemby who's

190
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: trying to get his feet wet learn the league right,

191
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: because the idea is when this team is ready to

192
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: win right ultimately in a couple of years, who are

193
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: the people that are on the team right now that

194
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: are gonna be with him in those couple of years.

195
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: Maybe Devin Bissel because of the contract he signed. Maybe

196
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: Keldon Johnson. That's about it, right, Like no, and that's

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: and those guys are maybe no one's even a guarantee.

198
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Right.

199
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: We'll see about Jeremy Shohan, We'll see it about everybody

200
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: else who's gonna make it or not. So it's gonna

201
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: be kind of you know, he's got to kind of

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: go through that that learning experience. But listen, he's so skilled,

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: he's so tall. He does things on a nightly basis

204
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 4: that you're like, hot, love, did you do that right?

205
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: And it's it's fantastic. I love seeing it. I am

206
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 4: a basketball hightist. I love all tall, skilled people. I

207
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: would love nothing, but it's a game full of seven

208
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: footers because that's just I love seeing that, So you

209
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: know it works for me.

210
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. So he's leading all rookies in scoring eighteen point

211
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: six points per game, second only to US R. Thompson

212
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: in rebounding at nine point one rebounds per game, and

213
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: then leads all rookies and blocks with two point six

214
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: per game, which is a lot of blocks. You know,

215
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is up in the threes, which is incredible,

216
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: but his splits aren't great, but you know they're it's

217
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: just been it's been really inconsistent. He's he's taking five

218
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: five point six attempts for three, which seems like maybe

219
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: too many, but his shot looks so good that it

220
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't really bother me when I'm watching the games,

221
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: so to.

222
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: The point that you know, like you were just making

223
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 5: dry not you not taking anything away from his current teammates.

224
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: I'm always careful when I introduced these topics, But what

225
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: types of players do you think they need to.

226
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Eventually surround Winby with?

227
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: Like, who's going to get Winby to be, you know,

228
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: as much of Winby as he can be?

229
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: Well, first, a.

230
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: Lead ballhandler, not point I mean, you know, point guard whatever,

231
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: that's really not relevant. A lead ballhandler who can make

232
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: a proper tree pass would be helpful. Right to start,

233
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: mom that is that is a lost art apparently to

234
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: give basketball, which is range.

235
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: I've turned into my middle school basketball coach where suddenly

236
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: all I care about is entry passes. I'm like, what

237
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: got it? Work on your entry passes?

238
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 4: While you're throwing the ball down by his ankles, I

239
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 4: don't get it, right, Like, he's seven foot four, put

240
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: it up high where you can get it. You need

241
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: a a center who who can bat, who can bang

242
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: and grab rebounds on the interior.

243
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: He's big, but who can also step out in space. Right,

244
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 3: So it's that Miles.

245
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 4: Turner esque type a player right who's got a body

246
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 4: who can I can grab rebounds on the interior, but

247
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: I can also space out as well to five right,

248
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: because I think ultimately what san Antonio wants to do

249
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 4: is play five out, So I think that would work

250
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: out well. And then you know what every team needs, right,

251
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: the uber predator apex predator wing wing player.

252
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Right who can who can score? And like, right, everybody

253
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 3: needs that.

254
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: But those kinds of players, right, who who again understand

255
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: the concept of how to how to make passes, how

256
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: to use his height as an advantage.

257
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and ASR. Thompson type would be nice, like somebody

258
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: on the wind who's just gobbling.

259
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: The only thing about Ausar that I worry about and

260
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: his brother is I don't know if they can shoot.

261
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: And the thing about shooting is everybody's like, oh, you

262
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: can just learn. I'm like, well, Giannis has been learning

263
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: for years and he still can, right, so you know

264
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 4: it can they We'll see.

265
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: A little bit more difficult when you're six six as

266
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: opposed to six to eleven.

267
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, in my experience, Yeah, Chet has been coming

268
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: on real strong lately. He's putting up seventeen points seven

269
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: and a half for almost eight boards two point one

270
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: blocks on fifty six forty six, ninety splits.

271
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: I mean, put Jet in the Hall of Fame right now,

272
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 4: right over, wrap it up.

273
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. And so he had his big

274
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: coming out game, like we talked about Wemby's big game

275
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: against the Spurs where or against the Suns where he

276
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: just like wouldn't, wouldn't let his team lose and came

277
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: came through in the clutch. U Chad had that with

278
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: thirty six against Golden State game tying turnaround three, uh,

279
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: kind of falling out of bounds, just incredible like he did.

280
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: He feels like the more they get him involved in

281
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: the offense, the better they get. And okay See is

282
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: ten and four with a six and one road record,

283
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: which is pretty incredible. So I don't know if anybody

284
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: had called this in the offseason and said, okay See

285
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: was actually secretly a contender, that would have been unbelievable.

286
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: Oh wait, I did, that's right, that's me, yeah, right,

287
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 6: actually on the back, Oh what were the odds?

288
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: What were the would you bet on that?

289
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: I think it was thirty three to one. It wasn't

290
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: long enough, it should have been longer, but it's thirty

291
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: three to one for them to win the title. Yeah,

292
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: to win the title?

293
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: Why not? Yeah, it should have been longer. You're right,

294
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: it should have been longer than thirty three.

295
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: But still, you know, yeah, we were in a casino and.

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: Why not.

297
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 4: Look the big thing with Jet and you know, let's

298
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 4: first of all, he's phenomenal. Let's two things that he

299
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: has as an advantage. Well, it is his first year playing,

300
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: it is his second year in the league. Right, being

301
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: around the team for an entire year and understanding the

302
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: NBA game is huge. Also, this is something that my

303
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: podcast partner, coach Thorpe has mentioned. He had a meal

304
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: with Mark Degnol had goaes Loccy thunder every single day

305
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: last season, and you know, the average fan pobably hears

306
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 4: that and they're like cookares whatever.

307
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, like that stuff matters.

308
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: People like the ninety nine percent of the players in

309
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: the NBA, their success is going to be determined based

310
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: on where they get drafted and what the environment is

311
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 4: like to incubate them. And as alpha and whatever is

312
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 4: these guys are, they need what David calls well jelly, right,

313
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: they need someone to be like, no, man, we believe

314
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: in you. Here's what we want you to do. We

315
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: think you can do this, right, and he had a

316
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: ton of that last year. Now, the piece on the court,

317
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: that is why Chet is also a more impactful player

318
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 4: than Victor if you look at.

319
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: His estimated plus minus.

320
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 4: I mean, Chet's top ten in the league right now

321
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: in EPM, right, and that helps when you play with

322
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: a top five player in Shake Gilds Alexander and an

323
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: MVP candidate right that and yes, Shake Gilsduxander was NBA

324
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: All NBA First Team last year, which by definition means

325
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: top five and he was top five and MVP voting

326
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: someone who knows how to throw an entry bass someone right, Like,

327
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: there's so many things.

328
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: That Shakee does so well.

329
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: And the rest of that team with Jalen Williams and

330
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: Giddy and lou Shor, right, yeah, they're they're that team

331
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: works well. So he's got better police pieces around him,

332
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: and so it's it's it's much easier than to have impact,

333
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: and Chet's also very good.

334
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: On top of that.

335
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I feel like everyone is going to say that they're,

336
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: you know, like they're the darlings or the surprise team,

337
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: but I feel like they're actually already there are they there.

338
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: So it's interesting, right, Like I think that can be

339
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 4: like what Sacramento was last year and what Memphis was

340
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: two years ago in terms of the regular season. When

341
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: it comes to postseason, I mean they have they haven't

342
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: done it yet, right, but that's everybody right, No one's

343
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: done it until they do it, right, That's that's how

344
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: it works. I'm also still not one hundred percent sure

345
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: about the rest of that team. Josh Giddy's great as

346
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: a passer, He's not shooting well right now, and his

347
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: plus minus stats are awful. Right now when he's on

348
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 4: the floor, they are losing possessions and losing the game.

349
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: That's not good.

350
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: Uh, lou Geort's good, Jill and Williams, who starts, is

351
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: very good. The rest of that team, though, as good

352
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: as Isaiah Joe is shooting threes off the bench.

353
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: Everybody else is a minus player off the bench.

354
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: And so you know that's concerning when you're talking about

355
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: what are they going to do in the postseason?

356
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: But who the hell cares about the postseason?

357
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: Might get get right get there first and be a

358
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: dominant regulations. Win forty five games, right, win fifty games,

359
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: and you're like, oh, this seems fun, right, Let's get

360
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: themselves back to that level.

361
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: When you know, once they lost all.

362
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 4: Their three superstars they drafted a decade ago, people were like,

363
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: when's it ever gonna happen for them?

364
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: Well, they seem to be coming back around now.

365
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good at this draft thing. It turns out.

366
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: Turns out, let's take a quick break and we'll come

367
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: back and talk about the rest of the rookies that

368
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: we're keeping an eye on. We'll be right back, and

369
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: we're back and all right. So these the two we've

370
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: discussed so far, were the two that I was watching

371
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: from the start. They haven't disappointed. In fact, they've exceeded.

372
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Like I was worried that Wemby they might just like

373
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: be kind of keeping him on ice a little bit

374
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: and like letting him pop in here and there. But

375
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: they're they're letting him play. I feel like they're handling

376
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: it well. His development, he's getting he's getting a lot

377
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: of reps. He looks awesome. The people I wasn't necessarily

378
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: checking for at first and now I'm checking for is

379
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: number one on that list ASR. Thompson with the Pistons,

380
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: UH leading rookies in rebounding at six foot six, but

381
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: does basically everything eleven point six points per game, ten

382
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: rebounds per game, three point four assists, one point seven

383
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: blocks per game, one point two steals per game. To

384
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: be top ten in the league in blocks at six

385
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: foot six is is wild.

386
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: He is a tremendous athlete. He's already a very good

387
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: defender for a rookie. You know, again, this Detroit's got

388
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: someone who again, if he learns to shoot, he becomes

389
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 4: what I talked about that you know what does Antonio

390
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 4: need when he becomes that apex predator wing player that

391
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 4: every that helps you win championships if he can learn

392
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: to do that right, and that's huge.

393
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

394
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Also, just he's top five offensive boards in the whole

395
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: in the whole league, which is wild. It also brought

396
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: to my attention that Mitchell Robinson is pulling down six

397
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: point one offense of boards a game.

398
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: He's he's he's a menace. I mean, he is an

399
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: absolute menace. And with Steven Adams out with injury, Mitchell

400
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 4: Robinson is now the best offensive rebrown in the NBA.

401
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 4: I mean, he is just an absolute terror on the boards.

402
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: Moses Malone has the record for most offensive rebounds per

403
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: game in a season with seven point two, and Mitchell

404
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: Robinson is six point one right now, Like that's he's

405
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: he's unbelievable on the offensive glass.

406
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys, remember, I mean you might be

407
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 4: too young to remember how how Mo used to do

408
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 4: his thing right.

409
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: The best offense was throw it up on the board.

410
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go get it, put it back up, and

411
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna store.

412
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Throw it up, grab it, throw it right over.

413
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go out on this

414
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: limb and say it. I'm the one that's real, that's

415
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: truly an ASAR guy. I'm calling him Mini Matrix right now.

416
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: And I know how crazy that is.

417
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: I recognize it's not fair to a rookie to expect

418
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: that type of career, but that's the thing that when

419
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 5: I watch him, that's what I look at.

420
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.

421
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: I like it.

422
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: I mean he does seemed to be also moving at

423
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: a different speed than everybody else when he's out there,

424
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: so I could definitely see that, all right. Derek Lively

425
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: for the MAVs is a major contributor right away. I mean,

426
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: he's big, he's tough, any anything jumping out to you

427
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: about him.

428
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: You know what helps playing with Luka Dancic.

429
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's it's just simular one with rookies, right,

430
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 4: who do they have on their team that they play with?

431
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: Oh, an all NBA caliber player? Wow, they play out

432
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: a lot.

433
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 4: But yeah, it helps, like great players make you play better, right,

434
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 4: That's that's why there's so great.

435
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: But no, he's a great roleman at the RAM.

436
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: And remember in that class, in his high school class,

437
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 4: I believe he was the best player in that class

438
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 4: when they were getting ranked in high school. And then

439
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 4: you know in Duke he really didn't like, you know,

440
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: score the way that people wanted to score. And I

441
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: don't know where that was, like a Duke thing or whatever.

442
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: But you know, this kid's got a lot of talent.

443
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 4: And you know, if again, if Dallas is the right

444
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 4: place to incubate him, which I don't know, we'll see

445
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: he could really be something special.

446
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: The college thing is so weird, like because we've talked

447
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: about how like Chet's game looked totally different, Like he

448
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: was obviously a contributor on a very good team in college,

449
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: but his game looked like I had no idea that

450
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: he was capable of any of the things that we're seeing.

451
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: It's just yeah and lively, is it all? It does

452
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: make you wonder, like why anybody would go playing college

453
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: when you know it is such a different sport that

454
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: does such a great job of camouflaging your skills from

455
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, making it hard to see how good you are.

456
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 5: It is a different sport, especially at schools like Duke

457
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 5: in Kentucky when they're like stacked beyond belief. You know,

458
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 5: you know, certain guys are not going to stand out. Yeah,

459
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 5: even though they've got some serious game.

460
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: Mh.

461
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Anyone else do you guys want to call out?

462
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 4: I like Black Coolabali from the Wizards. This guy can

463
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: defend already pretty well. I think he might be able

464
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 4: to like because of the work ethic and how he

465
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 4: wants to develop. He's really got a chance, I think,

466
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 4: to be a very good player in this league. But again, Washington,

467
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: you know, well, you know if.

468
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: He ends up being if he ends up being really good,

469
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: they'll find a way to ship him to the Lakers,

470
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 5: and you know what, the world would be a better place.

471
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: I say that'll work out with the Lakers.

472
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: Watching other teams is just shot window shopping for Lakers. Fans. Yeah,

473
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: he's he'd be a nice piece. Should grab him, That's

474
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: really what it is. Anyone else to bar you want

475
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: to call out?

476
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I've been Jordan Hawkins has been impressive.

477
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: You know, he's had some big scoring nights.

478
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, it doesn't hurt that he's in a

479
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 5: good situation there with the Pels. They've you know, they've

480
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 5: got a ton of talent there, but in the event

481
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 5: that they run into, you know, hit the injury bug

482
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 5: or you get hit by the injury bug, you know,

483
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: it's good to see that they've got another guy that

484
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 5: can fill it up within their system. And you know, honestly,

485
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: we haven't really seen much out of him, but I

486
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 5: really can't wait to see what Scoop eventually looks like.

487
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: You know, he only yeah, you know, it seemed like

488
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: he was even banged up coming into the year, yet

489
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 5: that right physically, it would be great to you know,

490
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 5: I can't wait.

491
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: He's one of the guys that I was looking forward

492
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: to most coming into the year.

493
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

494
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: I also got to shout out Hami Hakis Junior and

495
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: Kiante George, you know, for Miami and Utah respectively. You know,

496
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 4: they seem like Utah turned the keys over to Kiance

497
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: the last five games. And you know, listen, players need rookies.

498
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 4: They need playing time. It's like oxygen. Right, yeah, that's

499
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 4: how they get better. Now coaches are reticent to play

500
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 4: them because they're gonna make mistakes, but that's how they learn,

501
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: Like right, they have to make mistakes and that's how

502
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 4: they get better.

503
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Speaking of the injury bug beel out

504
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: at least three more weeks due to continued back issues.

505
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. Didn't Phoenix use to have like a

506
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: fabled health team that could like bring anyone back from

507
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: the dead or you know, keep people from falling apart.

508
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: We need they need those guys back.

509
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: And long a long time ago they had that.

510
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: I want to see these three guys play together.

511
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 4: And now, listen, I can't say it too much, but

512
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: I'll just say this that medical and healthcare training staff

513
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: has a lot to be desired, and I'll leave it

514
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: at that.

515
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: You know, when you when you.

516
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: Say, okay, Bradley's going to be cleared to play. Everything's good,

517
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 4: and then we're ready to roll, and all of a sudden,

518
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: you put out and you get the press release from

519
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: the pr group when they say we're going to take

520
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: the next three weeks to actually focus on what's wrong

521
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: with Bradley Biale, Like, so what were you doing before then?

522
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: Right?

523
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 3: What? Like, so you weren't focused on that before? And look,

524
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 3: I want to be fair to them.

525
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 4: Backs are tricky and they're very difficult and there's no

526
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: right pun intended. There's no exact science. Right, it's a

527
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 4: very tricky thing. But you behoove you matt Ishbia. You

528
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: spent however many billion dollars spent by this team and

529
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: you now have in total contracts half a billion dollars

530
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 4: give or take sunk into Booker, Durant and Beale players

531
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: who have injury histories. I would think you would want

532
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 4: to make sure that your health, performance and training staff

533
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 4: are doing everything they can and they are top of

534
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 4: the line and really like, no, no, no, no, we got

535
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 4: to measure these guys are good to go, you know,

536
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: and we don't know so far not great, but yeah,

537
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 4: you know Bill and Durant, sorry, Booker and Durant playing well.

538
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

539
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: Latest word, by the way is that you know he

540
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: might be out till Christmas and if that's possible, very yeah.

541
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: Oh my God. I mean, yeah, they're hanging in. They're

542
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: seven and six as of this recording, so hopefully, hopefully

543
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: they can keep treading water. But you know, with some

544
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: of the other teams starting as fast as they are,

545
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: it feels like there's a little bit more pressure than

546
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: maybe people were expecting coming in for for everybody to

547
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: be able to, you know, maintain a pretty decent record,

548
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: so you're within striking distance.

549
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: Because of course, the flip side of that is now

550
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 4: you put a lot of strain on a thirty five

551
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 4: year old Kevin Durant who's putting up MVP caliber numbers

552
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 4: yet again the season, playing double overtime every I'm like

553
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 4: a little was like watching the game. I'm like, Frank,

554
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 4: you do realize you've ad in season tournament game on

555
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 4: Tuesday and a back to back the second game on Wednesday,

556
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: a national TV game against the Golden State Warriors, and

557
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 4: you know the whole league's policy about participation.

558
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do.

559
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 4: You're gonna play him in then season tournament and sit

560
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: him on the taking on the back to back and

561
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: don't ask him because he'll play a thousand minutes a game.

562
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: It'd be good, right, which not a good idea, right,

563
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: you know.

564
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's that stat from the Dunk Central

565
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: NBA Central that was, like Lebron at thirty eight years old,

566
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: twenty six point four points, eight boards, six and a

567
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: half assists, sixty seven percent true shooting, kd thirty one

568
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: point four points, seven rebounds, five and a half assists,

569
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: sixty four percent true shooting, and then Steph you know,

570
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: thirty four rebounds for assists, sixty seven and a half

571
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: true shooting. The fact Lebron's true shooting percentage is the

572
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: thing though, I was like, wow, man.

573
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: He's he's shooting it well to start the season. He

574
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 3: really is.

575
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: He's thirty eight, and Kadie and Steph for thirty five.

576
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know. The post ends with like this

577
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: is still their league, and we got some other candidates,

578
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: but they they're certainly up there.

579
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 5: He kind of goes towards the point that made earlier

580
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 5: of like Gill, Yes, the rookies, Yes, the new guys

581
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: are fun to watch, but you know, we're still checking

582
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 5: for these old hits because they are still.

583
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: Checking the league.

584
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, still know what they're doing. So Lebron put up

585
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: thirty seven eight six rebounds three steals in forty minutes

586
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: against Houston, and then Austin Reeves came through with the compliment,

587
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: but he said that he's the best to do it.

588
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: Maybe with the exception of Tom Brady, I would just

589
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: be like, hey, man, as your editor, as you, I

590
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: would just cut that last like maybe with the exception

591
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: out because fir'st all Lebron, I don't know, Lebron doesn't

592
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: want to hear your thoughts on Tom Brady. And also

593
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: tom Brady wasn't having to take a lot of contact

594
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: out there in his old age, like Lebron's having to

595
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: go down the middle, Like you can also.

596
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: Do this with NFL quarterbacks, And I'm sorry, I'm biased,

597
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: but NFL quarterbacks cannot be on top athlete list to me,

598
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. You play half the game and sit the

599
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 4: other half like that. Sorry, Like everybody else in these

600
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: on these lists got to play both ways.

601
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, like yeah, sorry, yeah, But anyways, that would

602
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: be my note tossed and maybe just say he's the

603
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: best to ever do it, because it is the greatest

604
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: athletic feat I've ever seen from somebody this age, like

605
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: this much older than anyone I've ever seen perform at

606
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: this level with you know, and like by perform, it's

607
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: not like he's got he's got a cool like trick

608
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: that he figured out to like get the ball out

609
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: quickly and like nobody gets near him. It's he's playing

610
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: at an incredibly high level against the best athletes in

611
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: the world and still doing it like almost as well

612
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: as he's ever done.

613
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 3: It makes you wonder, huh.

614
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: All right, should we take one more break and we'll

615
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: come back and do the rapid fire round of questioning,

616
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: the fastest segment in all of sports podcasts. We'll be

617
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back, and it is time for

618
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: the rapid fire round of questioning. This is where we

Speaker 2: So let's keep it going.

660
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 5: Gud who is the most underappreciated of the truly all

661
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 5: time greats. Give us a guy that deserves to be mentioned,

662
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 5: but it's often left out of the all time debates,

663
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 5: if you will, Kevin Durrant, Oh, we're talking top five

664
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 5: all time.

665
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean you didn't say top five. You just said

666
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: all the time. But now now, oh it's Tim Duncan.

667
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm okay, it's fair. I'm not even gonna argue.

668
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: Now I've heard of him, so uh but yeah, I

669
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: guess next, you can take two players from all of

670
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: history to create your Matt Boosti's edition NBA Jam Team.

671
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Which two players you've taken.

672
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: Chris Paul and Chris Paul?

673
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 5: Wow?

674
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: Oh, Chris All and Kareem I've told Jabbar I.

675
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: Went on to school. I went to school. Move on anyway, next.

676
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: All Chris Paul's game does feel like it would have

677
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: like out there in the seventies, and you'd be like, yeah,

678
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: that makes sense, or in the eighties or in the

679
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: nineties or.

680
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that I want to expect

681
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: all right, you know, the gimmick is old.

682
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: But if you could have any player's skill set for

683
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: a day. Who's in which skill set would it be?

684
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Kevin Durant shooting?

685
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is your body, not a seven foot body.

686
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: Oh well, you didn't say that.

687
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: That's why I said.

688
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 5: That's why I specified with a skill set and which

689
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 5: would it be.

690
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: Let's see Chris Paul's decision making.

691
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, and that would apply to

692
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the rest of your life too, like buying insurance for instance.

693
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: All right, you can watch a movie with one of

694
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: these players. You gotta pick one and then I'll tell

695
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: you what movie you're watching based on their past tweets.

Speaker 1: movie ever? Any answer that is not Episode three is wrong.

702
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Anakin is my favorite. Least favorite is Darth Maul, only

703
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: because he shouldn't have died after the first few movie.

704
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 4: You're showing your age here. The best Star Wars movie

Speaker 2: Now only are you watching it? You're watching it with

708
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,520
