7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: little drugged up right now on cold and flu medicine GD.

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: Musin X makes you feel weird and it makes you make

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: mistakes as it turns out.

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you gonna do?

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: Start over?

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: No, we do it live as we got the balls

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: to do it live. Sometimes we have mistakes. But it

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: is Thursday, trust me on that one. No TK this morning.

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: The Bearded One will join us on tomorrow's Drop podcast

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: after that quick trip to the Bay Area. We do

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: have another Weggie though we did that's similar to yesterday's show.

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Another one they keep coming. Weggie number eight tasks and

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: it was Trey Murphy, the third sticking one in OKC.

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Maybe one of the only positives so far from the

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Pelicans season.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: I was that a positive though? Your three point shooter

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: just coming back from injury, putting one during garbage time

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: really where they get spanked by Okay, see, yeah, four minutes.

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: It's positive because we were talking about them otherwise. So yes,

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: with their season and with the way everybody's injured, I

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: think it is. So yeah, we're up to eight weggies,

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: so they're coming good stuff there all right, eleven games

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: on last night. Only the two of us here thought

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: it'd be fun if we did some drafting when it

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: came to the best game slash performances from that busy

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: NBA slate. Let's do three rounds each, so we'll get

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: to six sort of total performances and with them.

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: We'll sprinkle some in at the end because there's more

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: than six games to talk about it.

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Oh, you're already drafting fourth and fifth rounds here, I like, okay,

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: but let's start with the number one pick. You get it?

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Where are you going? Because man, there are a lot

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: to pick from.

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: We're going to a fifty burger Greek style, which, yeah,

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: a couple of fifty burgers and then a cat on

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: the side. They're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs. Well,

44
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: we'll get to Karl Anthony Towns, but let's start with

45
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: Yuanistad of Goopo. Milwaukee Bucks at home to the Detroit Pistons,

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: and it's all about Yannis, especially because the Bucks were

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 3: even more shorthanded. Bobby Porters was out in this one.

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: We know Chris Middleton is out, Damian Lillard out again

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: concussion protocol, and the guy who filled his spot in

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: the starting lineup, Ryan Rollins in the previous game, was

51
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: also out. So who's starting at point guard? Delon Wright

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: started at point guard. He had an over in this game.

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: AJ Green started beside him. He hit one shot, so

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: backcourt only had three points. Goobo literally scored every basket

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: in the first quarter. He had twenty two points in

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: the first quarter. He was just doing everything. The guy's

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: putting this team on his back. He seriously is. But

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: the Pistons literally had more depth. Blik Beasley, who played

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: for the Bucks last year, hit four threes in the

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: first half, and the Pistons were up double digits at half.

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: In the third quarter, the Bucks were down eighteen points

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: at home. It looked it looked bleak for this team,

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: but they did come back. Brook Lopez big block on

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: Kate Coneham. Then he started pounding his chest and the

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: other bench players for the Bucks, Andre Jackson, Pat Conson,

66
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Gary Trent. They're big, they're hustling. Yeah, Andre Jackson was

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: getting to the floor and diving beside Kate's feet. Yannis

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: even had some blood on him in this game. There's

69
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: literally shots of blood on his shorts. I think we

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: got a photo of the of the bloody butt. Fiannis

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: to goopol So this game will always win. It went

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: into the fourth quarter, it was tied. Late in the

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, Bucks tried to win it from a Torrem

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: Prince three didn't go down, so the Pistons had a

75
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: chance to win it with one second left, and that's

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: when Bucks assistant coach said, hey, hey, look at this laptop.

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: Look at this play. Did you see the Pistons in

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: the NBA Cup yesterday With a couple seconds left, Jalen

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: Duran ran an alley, you play on an inbound. They

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: had a beautiful duck, So that's what's going to happen.

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: The Bucks were able to break it up, but as

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: Gumbo was called for a foul which wasn't a foul,

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: but they couldn't challenge because they had no timeouts left.

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: You can't challenge that, so Ryan not Ryan House, run Holland.

85
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: All he had to do was hit a free throw

86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: and win the game for just one clank clank. That

87
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: boy was nervous, he was. It was like literally the

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: guy was shaking.

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a young, young rookie and a chance

90
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: to win the game after a really well designed play. Again,

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: yet instead of Durham like it was for the winning

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: or I guess tying in that situation Aloup in the

93
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: game prior, it was Ron Holland. This time. Joannest didn't

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: think he fouled them, didn't think there was enough contact. Yeah.

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: I sort of agreed with you, honest on that one too.

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: That was sort of a looked like the Pistons were

97
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: going to like sort of get maybe gifted another game.

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Obviously Spoe helped him out calling a timeout. He didn't

99
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: have the game prior. And then this file was like.

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Really especially because it was almost under the backboard. Yeah,

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: even if Ron Holme caught it, Yeah, he couldn't hit

102
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 3: the shot.

103
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: It was going to be a very difficult finish. But well,

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: the basketball gods, Yeah, the ball don't lie. I guess

105
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: I really came through because those three throws weren't even close.

106
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: No, they were, they were not close. That's a good call. Yeah,

107
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: it's unfortunate for roun Holland there.

108
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: But they're still an overtime.

109
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: They had overtime to win it. But that's when Yannis

110
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: took over. He absolutely took over. He had a block

111
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: to start overtime, and he had forty eight points going

112
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 3: into overtime. He scored another eleven, one of them on

113
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: a three point shot, his only three point shot of

114
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: the game. He only took two and he hit this one.

115
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: And if you're watching on YouTube, I still don't know

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: what the celebration is. I'm not sure.

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: It's like it's got some Sam Cassel vibes to it.

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, the big balls, Yeah, hung like a Greek horse.

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not totally sure. The the broadcasters

120
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: Kate Scott said, you know, he was doing the you know,

121
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: I got this in my veins type of thing because

122
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: he's kind of pointing at his arm. But I'm still

123
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: not sure.

124
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's sort of I mean he almost smashed

125
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: together three celebrations. If you see he is doing like

126
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: the three point with his.

127
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: Fingers sort of sort of right, Yeah.

128
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: Then he's doing like he said, ice in the veins,

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and then there's a little bit, Hey, check out my

130
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: giant dog hanging between my legs. Yeah, I mean that's

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: what he's doing.

132
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: But he's only got one arm down there. Kind of

133
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: pieces do you have? Well, you said balls, I did

134
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: the same, balls.

135
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I said, dong, a variation of the Sam Cassell. You

136
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: said balls for Sam Cassell. I said dong for the

137
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: honest he's gonna get fined I think for this one.

138
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he could, he could, but it's almost just a

139
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: normal celebration because he's almost doing like the dame on

140
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: his team. He does the watch things, so he's kind

141
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: of pointing to his wrist.

142
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: Oh kind of you watch.

143
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so weird on I Uh, that was his

144
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: only three. He was amazing from the free throw line

145
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: sixteen of seventeen in this game. Fifty nine points, fourteen boards,

146
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: seven says, two steals, a big block, as I said,

147
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: in overtime to started his tenth career fifty point game,

148
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 3: and it was helped up by overtime because he didn't

149
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 3: have it going into overtime. Yeah, but a desperate win

150
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: for this Milwaukee Bucks team. They finally have a winning streak.

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: It ain't that long. But a couple really mean everything

152
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: at home to the Detroit Pistons, who are playing above

153
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: their expectations. That team can play a little bit, but

154
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: no depth on this Milwaukee Bucks team. Hopefully Dame comes back,

155
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: which should happen soon. But you looked on the bench,

156
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: you looked at the performances out there. The Pistons were

157
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: a deeper team.

158
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: They were missing guys too, with Tim Hardaway out yeah,

159
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Ivy out yeah techyo right, yeah, so they were missing

160
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: somebody they were too, which is like at this point,

161
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: everybody's coming in as a mass unit. But yeah, the Pistons, man,

162
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: they keep doing this. They build leads, They get up

163
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: with a lot of teams this season, especially first quarter,

164
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: like in first half, like they did really well and

165
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: they start to let go of the rope a lot

166
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: of times. Are a young team, I get it. I mean,

167
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to see kid have some more consistent fourth quarters.

168
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: He has not been great in clutch situations this year

169
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: in terms of shooting the ball and getting a little

170
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: sloppy with it. But man, yeah, it did look like

171
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: they were going to sort of get gifted another one

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: with that foul call and the honest on the out

173
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: of bounds play at the rim, but poor Ron Holland

174
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a free throw and then yeah, Johanness outscored

175
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: them by himself in the overtime. Yeah, it was it

176
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: was like, we're getting this one. What did you think

177
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: of a beef stew Isaiah Stewart getting tossed for pulling

178
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: down Jannis from behind with the jersey grab.

179
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: Isaiaher is known to do a little bit of dirty stuff.

180
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: He gets physical and that is his rep. But yeah,

181
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: you need to draw the line somewhere, and I think

182
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: that was an easy call.

183
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, not really a basketball play where you got beat

184
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: and then thus I'm just going to pull your jersey

185
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: down and rip them back to the ground. He's a

186
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: strong dude, So yeah, I think that was warranted.

187
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: I agree.

188
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: Stattitude said that Giannis has scored at least twenty points

189
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: while shooting fifty percent from the field in every game

190
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: this season. The only other player in NBA history to

191
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: start a season with eleven such games in a row

192
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: is Carl Malone way back in eighty nine ninety. I

193
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: guess Kromeloone got that streak up to thirteen games and

194
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: then it was snapped, So I don't see Yannis. I

195
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: don't know. That's pretty easy for him at this point.

196
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Twenty points and fifty percent shooting.

197
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm. He's having an incredible start, which is kind

198
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: of going under the radar because the Bucks because they

199
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: had a bad record. Oh yeah, they seak because they

200
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 3: don't have enough depth. But hopefully Dame comes back to

201
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 3: help them, because yeah, they are their top heavy team,

202
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: and when their top heavy is injured, that's a problem.

203
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: But also Bobby Porters, I mean, they rely on to

204
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: those guys that have been around for a while, won

205
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: a championship because they're old. But hey, and Chris Middleton,

206
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: he's supposed to come back. He said that if he

207
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 3: doesn't play seventy to seventy five games, then it's a

208
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: failure of a season. And here we are getting up

209
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: to that. Yeah, right there, right there, all right.

210
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: So Jannis's fifty nine point performance goes number one. That's

211
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: a great pick. I have the second pick overall, let's

212
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: stick with the theme of the fifty burgers. I will

213
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: take Victor Weman Yama scoring a career high fifty points.

214
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, including a career best eight three pointers in

215
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: the one thirty nine to one thirty win over the Wizards.

216
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: So Wemby did a whole bunch of things last night

217
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: that were either first or putting his name on short lists.

218
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: The big one is Wemby became the fourth youngest player

219
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: ever to score fifty points in a game. Brandon Jennings,

220
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: who was at that Bucks game. Oh yeah, he was

221
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: throwing out T shirts, so was el a night. He

222
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: was in the T shirt cannon. But I saw Brandon

223
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Jennings for a second, Yeah, during that Bucks Pistons game.

224
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: So Brandon Jennings the youngest to ever score fifty in

225
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: a game. Lebron James, who's still playing and putting up

226
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: triple doubles, and Devin Booker and then now Wemby. All

227
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: those guys you know, twenty years old. But those guys

228
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: I listed before, you know, fewer days on the planets

229
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: than Wemby. But man, what a start for Wemby in

230
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: this game. He assisted or scored on four consecutive field

231
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: goals over the first like seventy seconds of the game.

232
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Spurs built a lead. He scored like all of these

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: points fifty in very few minutes, Like when he was

234
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: out there on the floor, like he almost beat Clay's record.

235
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Where what Clay took like twenty five twenty six minutes

236
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: to get to fifty. Wembley was right there. Yeah, it

237
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: was like twenty six twenty seven when he hit that jumper,

238
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: sort of somewhat still early in the fourth quarter. But

239
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty nine from the field, task six boards,

240
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: three blocks, and the eight three pointers. This guy's on

241
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: one right.

242
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: Now, yes, which ismely hot.

243
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Which is funny because less than a week ago there

244
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: was starting to build a lot of buzz of like,

245
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: what's this guy doing? Does he know he's seven to four?

246
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: Why does he just keep shooting threes and clanking him?

247
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: He was shooting twenty three percent from threes on the season,

248
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: when everyone in the media, ourselves included, started bringing up this,

249
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: like what's going on, man, let's get on the block

250
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. Since then, he's twenty for thirty seven

251
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: from three in these three straight games here, it's an

252
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: impressive stretch. I don't know really what else there is

253
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: to say. I know, you're playing the Wizards. Maybe he

254
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: was a little fired up to play his you know,

255
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: fellow frenchman there. Yeah, in sar and Kulabali. But what

256
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: a show and this will just be You just start

257
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: to go, how many fifty point games will wemb be

258
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: having his career?

259
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: Right right? Yes? Yeah, as you said, fewer days on

260
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: the planet than you know, Booker and Braun and Jennings.

261
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: You start to think, is this guy an alien? He

262
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: looks different. I mean he looks different out there for

263
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: seven foot four guy playing basketball. As you said, the

264
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: last three games he had six threes, then another six threes,

265
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: and then this eight perger And that's a lot of

266
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: threes for a seven foot four guy number one to shoot.

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: I mean about half of his shots this season are

268
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: three ball shots, so it is very different. And only

269
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: about a third of his shots are in the paint,

270
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: so he is pushing himself out further. But if he's

271
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: that confident in these shots, how can you stop him?

272
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: In this game, there were deep ones. There's a twenty

273
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: seven foot or twenty footer and a thirty footer, so

274
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: that's literally a five to seven feet beyond the line

275
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: where he's just stepping into them and feeling good. And

276
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, you know, we were already killing him,

277
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: come on, getting the baby, But.

278
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: He was trying to kill when he was shooting twenty

279
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: yeah from three.

280
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: And now he's still like a little bit below the

281
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: NBA average right now. But who cares if you're hitting

282
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 3: these shots. It's like Luca earlier in his career. Who

283
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: cares if you if you can do other things in

284
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: this game, I mean, it was a It was a

285
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: fun game because Alexar there's a lot of Frenchmen on

286
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 3: that floor, but him against alex Ar, Sar blocked him

287
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: one time. Wemby was giving it to him, so they

288
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: seem like they're, you know, kind of rivals. But I

289
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: don't really care if Wenby is that confident like he is.

290
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: He's just so fluid in his three point shot. I

291
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: think it's gonna come even even now. I mean we're

292
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: talking about a twenty year old, yeah, banging home eight

293
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: threes in this game. So yes, I think it's fine.

294
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: I think I think the balance will come. You got

295
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: to start coming respecting him beyond twenty five feet and

296
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: then so he'll get into the paint more and more.

297
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: It's interesting you brought up that balance idea. Zilla wrote

298
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: this morning in his newsletter good Morning, It's basketball quote.

299
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: No one wants to see the tallest man in the league,

300
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: chucking up bricks from twenty five feet. But you all

301
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: need to take your medicine and like it, because there

302
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: is a plan here, and that plan is to make

303
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: wembin Yama the most unstoppable player on all the planets.

304
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: And to be that he may need to be a

305
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: legitimate threat from outside in a league moving further in

306
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: that direction. And he went on to say a whole

307
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: lot more about this, but I'll stop it there. That's

308
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: probably fair in today's game, and I start, you know,

309
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: interesting on a night where Giannis goes for fifty nine

310
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: and then Wemby goes for fifty. That's a glaring difference

311
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: between young the honest when he came into the league,

312
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: even when he started to blossom into MVP. Honest, he

313
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a three ball. No, you can still argue

314
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the three ball, yeah, but was sort

315
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: of unstoppable until he wasn't. At times, you know, the

316
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: old raptors building the wall, some defenders giving him trouble,

317
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: back up, back up, back up. Not too far though,

318
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: because you don't want him like taking a giant euro

319
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: step around you, but force him to shoot. This is

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: where maybe Wemby's like a leveled up version. Now he's

321
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: not nearly as strong as and I don't think he's

322
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: ever going to like bulk up and gain the weight

323
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: that Yiannis did do in the NBA. But when you

324
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: got the three ball and you have the confidence to

325
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: let it fly, I mean, sixteen attempts last night, Yeah,

326
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: that's no joke. But when you hit fifty percent of them,

327
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: you're going to take that anyway. That's the greatest June

328
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: in the world at that point. So I just thought

329
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: it was an interesting point from Ziller. Maybe this is

330
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: part of the plan. There will be some stretches where yeah,

331
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: he probably misses and you're like, ah, all right, it's

332
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: not pretty, man, get inside. You are seven to four.

333
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: But if you can consistently hit it, and then you

334
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: pair it with his ability to put the ball on

335
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the ground, his ability to work inside, his ability to

336
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: play make too', that's dangerous. That's maybe one of the

337
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: greatest players ever if you can continue it on this trajectory.

338
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: And I think that the fact that he has been

339
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: able to deal with all this rakule is a good

340
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: sign and that he's just going to get better better

341
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: as a number one pick here in year two, Like

342
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: he is fine with it, he can roll with it.

343
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: And all the other Western Conference teams, I think, are

344
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: going to get a lot more of the of the

345
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: media because the Spurs are not going to be incredibly great,

346
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: but who cares. They're overachieving, really achieving for me. Yeah,

347
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: and this guy at this point hitting a third of

348
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: his threes, like, that's only going to get better. I

349
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: don't see how it gets worse again, because he is

350
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: so fluid when he shoots the ball. He looks like

351
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: a natural young player. I mean, he looks like a baller.

352
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Because when duran like, in his natural ability a little

353
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: bit to shoot a giant I mean seven feet, this

354
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: guy's even bigger.

355
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Durant like would let it go up higher

356
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: so that the form is different. But yes, they're both

357
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: super fluid. And I'm not worried about Victory Mignama. Just

358
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: how ready he was to play this game after being drafted.

359
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: He's he's he's a kid, he's but he's he seems

360
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: like he's such an adult. That's why those names like

361
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: it's a.

362
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Good point because like even the ridicule, which was starting

363
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: to gain steam right it was you know, those whispers

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: were getting louder of like, what are you doing, man,

365
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: You're the biggest guy out there and you're just firing

366
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: up threes. They didn't seem to affect him, like you said.

367
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: It wasn't like, oh god, that noise is getting to him. Oh,

368
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: I better get my ass on the block and just

369
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, skyhook or whatever, dink and dump inside. He's like, no,

370
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: watch this. I'll just keep shooting them and I'll just

371
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: start hitting them. So you're right, I mean, he's got

372
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: the he's got that confidence to him. His great game

373
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: came on the same day too, when the Spurs confirmed

374
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: that coach Greg Popovich did suffer a mild stroke earlier

375
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: this month. Good news is he has expected to make

376
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: a full recovery. So that happened sort of on the

377
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: same day. And yeah, the Spurs are six and six now.

378
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: Last night's game was a high scoring affair, but they

379
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: are like the tenth ranked defense in the league defensive ranking,

380
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: so you know it's solid. Yeah, yeah, well I continue

381
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: I assume continue to improve too here with weby, but

382
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: he's just such a difference maker.

383
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: On that end. Yeah, and I reading our man, Zach

384
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: Harper's summary of Victor Amin Nyama over the last few

385
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: weeks in his just his second year. It feels like

386
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: he's been around for a while because of this is.

387
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Because we've known about him for a long time.

388
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: We have, yeah, and prior to this season, we're already

389
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: anointing him first time All Star. This guy can be

390
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 3: defensive Play of the Year. When is he gonna win MVP?

391
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: How many MVPs are gonna win? So I don't know

392
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: the fact that it feels like he's he's he's just

393
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: jumped ahead earlier than a lot of other players in

394
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: their careers, being at this much of a kid. So

395
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: the fact that he's gonna be able to roll with

396
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: it is a great sign. And reading Harper's piece, like

397
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure Zach started writing as this game was going

398
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: on and filling in on some of that ridicule of man,

399
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: this guy just shoots threes. But then you start to

400
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: see them again deep threes, Yeah, and you start to realize.

401
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: Those Brook Lopez deep threes.

402
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are giant ass dudes.

403
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: So it's not as far to them it really is it.

404
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: When you're that size and to have that strength, I.

405
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 3: Guess that's a good way of putting it. Yeah, it

406
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: looks like when he follows.

407
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: Through, it's like his hand is in the dropping it

408
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: in the bucket.

409
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's uh yeah to see him only taking

410
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: a third of his shots in the inside the paint

411
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: area when this guy's manstrous, shouldn't be doing it more.

412
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: We start to think, but the game is changing, man,

413
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: It's just it's just different. If you can hit three

414
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: ball after three ball after three ball, we're watching a

415
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: different game.

416
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: It'll just be finding a balance. The best playoff maybe

417
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: from that game last night, wasn't any of those threes

418
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: or any of his buckets. Is the one where he

419
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: like completely stole the ball, hit the ground and then

420
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: I forget who he threw ahead to in transition. Like

421
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: I mean, defensively, you think block block blocks, but like

422
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: for he's seven to four, I think we just forget

423
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: all the time I do. That's just it's stupid. Hit height,

424
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: So do what he can do and move like he

425
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: can move and hit the floor and obviously crossover guys

426
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and then shoot the shot like

427
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: the three point shots. Like it's sort of so discombobulated.

428
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Seven to four. Yeah, Like I haven't I get to

429
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: see him in person?

430
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: Have we seen?

431
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw him.

432
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: We saw him for his first Summer League game when

433
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: it was bad.

434
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: We did well. Yeah, yeah, I got told I had

435
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: to leave the floor. People in there.

436
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so when we saw him, he was coming out

437
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 3: of the tunnel and yeah, he was literally hitting his head.

438
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, we did see.

439
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: That was in the doorway. Good point of yeah, and

440
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: you can Yeah, you weren't super close, I guess, so

441
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: you can't really understand even though his head was hitting

442
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: literally that like the doorway the frame is made. I

443
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: guess it was seven feet I guess because he was

444
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: hitting his head. Yet the duck under to take the

445
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: floor in the Vegas Stadium.

446
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: Remember that security guard that had a big problem with me?

447
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: Why did I get zeroed out there? We had like

448
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: it was the first onebye game at Summer League. Ye,

449
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: that place was absolutely packed to the gills. Every media

450
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: member was there, and we were all like at Summer League,

451
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: so you know, the rules are sort of fast and loose. Yeah,

452
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: so we're all packed around the side, everybody, I mean

453
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: like thousands of US, hundreds of US, And he was like, hey,

454
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: you guys, get you guys can't be standing here. I'm

455
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: like looking around, like, why is he only talking to me?

456
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

457
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: That was weird.

458
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yep, I would say the securitiest weird. They weren't.

459
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: They weren't securing much.

460
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: They were securing skeets.

461
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 3: They were pretty tight up against the railings or else.

462
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: They get you like if you take a step back.

463
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea why why they

464
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: did that. It was weird. It was weird. It's also

465
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 3: weird that everybody calls me an alien. As I said,

466
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 3: I mean, how long? How much longer does that go on? Forever?

467
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't seems to like it.

468
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Nike, he likes it.

469
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: Nike, he likes it.

470
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lebron basically gave it to him. Yeah. I don't

471
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: see it going away anytime soon.

472
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. It just feels like I'm kind of an extra terrestrial.

473
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: You're done with it already.

474
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: I know it's early. I know. I heard the Spurs

475
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 3: broadcaster Jacob Toby said he's not human, he's an alien

476
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: as he as he hit his made it to fifty.

477
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: I don't know, just kind of done with it. But anyway,

478
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm g that's me being annoying.

479
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: Let's keep it going, Let's do it the number three

480
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: pick overall. Back to you, where are you going?

481
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Bulls next game. Okay, it was

482
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: so great, and I mentioned Karl Anthony Towns who he

483
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: was just he was doing a great job at holding

484
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: them afloat because the Bulls came out and we're hitting

485
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: shot after shot there, hitting way too many open threes.

486
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: The Knicks were giving them lots of space. Matt's has

487
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: Boozellis threw down a dunk what and most of it

488
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 3: was done by Zach Lavine. Zach Lavine. He looks like

489
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: Zuperstar Zach again. I mean, he looks so good, so athletic.

490
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: You try and guard him, he just literally will turn

491
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 3: around on you and jump higher than you and hit

492
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: a shot. He did that in this game and he

493
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: was laughing. It's back. He's focused. We talked about him

494
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 3: in training camp how he got to the Podehum and

495
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: he started talking, is this guy older and a little

496
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 3: bit more refined? Were developed? And you know that's all

497
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: just training camp stuff. But then now on the floor

498
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: he's doing it like he was guarding oj Anenobe. At

499
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: one point o j Anobi goes right into him, pushes

500
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: him back Zach and tries to get a shot off

501
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: and Zach can block it, and that means that he

502
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: is ready to see him dropped thirty one on twelve

503
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 3: seventeen four threes. Look at his percentages quickly, fifty four

504
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: and forty two from the floor. This is his most

505
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: efficient season in the history of his career. So his

506
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: trade value is increasing, There's no doubt about that. So

507
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: the Bulls were up twenty two points at one point

508
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: in this game, and Karl was keeping them alive. He's

509
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: just bringing them back over and over and over again.

510
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: The drives on Vucevich, the threes on Vucevic where they

511
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 3: locked hands as Vucevic, you know, tried to stop him,

512
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: but he was hitting the stanchion and he was still

513
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: fighting through it. Later on he was hobbling to the

514
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: bench and he was still fighting through it. And the

515
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: other guys like I mentioned Ojan Andobi who almost knocked

516
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 3: Anne Hathaway's popcorn down. If you saw that weird stuff

517
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: in Madison Square Garden, Yeah, I hope she's all right.

518
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: Michel Bridges was finning with campaign campaign got a bang

519
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: from Mike Breen because he was doing a great job

520
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: as the backup point guard on this team. Actually, Jalen

521
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: Brunson just had to chill in the fourth quarter, coming back,

522
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: you know, midway through the fourth quarter, and then it

523
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: was Brunson time to try and close this game out

524
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: because the Knicks were able to close that twenty two

525
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: point gap, and so Brunson comes out. His first fourth

526
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 3: quarter points were with thirty seven seconds left, a mean

527
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: step back. They're up too. But then Brunson bad fellow

528
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: at the other end, so the Knicks are tied again.

529
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: Bulls tied it up again. Then Brunson again another make

530
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: dribbles past Pat Williams, so they're up too. Then the

531
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: Bulls with just a few seconds left here, they're inbounding.

532
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: It looks like Zach Lavine is ready to dunk it

533
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: because it's Josh Getty, the man, the inbounder, you know.

534
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: The slob wizard himself.

535
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it looks like Zack Lavine is going to

536
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: get an alley. He looked open, It looked open. Yeah,

537
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: he jumped, but he didn't pass it. He gave it

538
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: to Kobe White instead, who miraculously got fouled, shooting a

539
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: three point shot, so he gets three free throws.

540
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: Josh Hart. Josh Hart challenging sort of from behind, like

541
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: hit his sort of head and maybe his body a

542
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: little bit. Kobe tried to like flail the one leg

543
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: two yeah, but yeah, he stepped the line. Hit all three.

544
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: He hit all three. Impressive stuff. So then Joleen Brunson

545
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: had to hit a game winning shot with about four

546
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: seconds left. It was on his shoulders and he got

547
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: the ball inbounded. He had Pat Williams on him again,

548
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: uh and hit it. Took a beautiful shot. It looked

549
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: like it was going down and then a toilet bowl

550
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: and went out and Clyde Fraser on the broadcast, I

551
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: don't know how that missed. How did it go out?

552
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: I thought Breen was about to say bang.

553
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

554
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: I thought for a second here like him almost say

555
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: it like a little be like it like it was

556
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: almost gonna go in. I said, I thought it was in.

557
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: He thought it was. I think the whole building thought

558
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: I was in. But yeah, thing rattled out and the

559
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: Bulls win.

560
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 3: Wow, there's a toilet bowl. If you call it a

561
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: bang on a toilet bowl, that would be he'd tire.

562
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: I think his career would be over.

563
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 3: People.

564
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: Was just a shame.

565
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, put a banner up in Madison's Square gardens with Breen.

566
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: He's done put a plunger there because I guess if

567
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: it's a toilet bowl in the ball comes out, it's

568
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: a plunger. Anyway, No, Brien didn't say bang. He caught himself.

569
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: But it looked it little looked like the Knicks were

570
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: gonna win this game. But listen, they have bad defensive problems.

571
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: The Tips teams are not This Tips team is not

572
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 3: great defensively, they're nineteenth in the league. And so the

573
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: Bulls with Zach Lavine cooking to start this game, we're

574
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: able to make a big lead in Luckily for the

575
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 3: next day they brought it close. But yes, congratulations to

576
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 3: the Chruggo Bulls winning a massive square garden.

577
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: It was a fun game. It was for it to

578
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: slip to the third pick in our draft here, just shocking. Yeah,

579
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: TK is probably a gas right now. I know you're

580
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: watching this later.

581
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: Right right, It was. It was weird to see the

582
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 3: Bulls give up that lead, but I don't know how

583
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: they won. They won, and so Kat had forty six points.

584
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I said that, I doubt

585
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: I said that.

586
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that was. We had three forty five plus

587
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: point games last night, which is ties the record for

588
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: most in a single day in NBA history. It's happened

589
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of times, seven other instances, but the last

590
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: time it happened also involved Karl Anthony Towns. Interesting back

591
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: in March twenty twenty two, Towns went for sixty, Trey

592
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Young had forty six, and Curry had forty seven, with

593
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: each of them scoring obviously over forty five points. So

594
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: that happened last night with Giannis Wemby and Kat oh

595
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: Man who had the forty six.

596
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 3: I wish it happened when Zach Lavine and Karlington Towns

597
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: were teammates as Minnesota Timberwolves. It doesn't doesn't feel like

598
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: they were teammates, but they were once upon a time.

599
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: And Kat looked so good and Zach Zach looked like

600
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: he was worth that max contract that the Bulls gave him.

601
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 3: I mean, he looks like it.

602
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: Looks like an All Star. Yeah, and we might be

603
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: talking about some early looks at All Stars next podcast

604
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: on tomorrow show. If Jordan Poole had only hit a three,

605
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: that would have been our fourth guy with forty five

606
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: plus points, because he finished with forty two, completely overlooked,

607
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: completely over with everything else going on. All right, I

608
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: have the fourth pick in the draft, and I am

609
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: taking the Cavaliers, holding off the seventy six ers who

610
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: were missing, you know, all three other star guys. But

611
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: the Cavaliers became the sixth team ever to start a

612
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: season thirteen to zero. The streak continues. You know, these

613
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: games are getting closer and closer here, but they keep

614
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: pulling it out. And last night the reason really was

615
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell. He was amazing down the stretch. He scored

616
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: eleven of his twenty three points in the final three

617
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: minutes of this game, hitting tough jumpers, corner threes, off

618
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: a really nice Karros Lavert pass, that one three in

619
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: the corner, driving to the rim. But that sexiest fourth

620
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: quarter bucket was the one where he had Jared McCain

621
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: on skates. He just put on the brakes, McCain went

622
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: flying and he nailed the three. That was huge. Mitchell

623
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: also grabbed thirteen boards. He had nine assists. The only

624
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: thing Mitchell did wrong, I don't know if you caught this.

625
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: He was trying to chase the triple double because it

626
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: was still a close game, somewhat of a tight game.

627
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: It was late in the fourth quarter. He needed that

628
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: one assist for his first ever triple double. Doesn't have one, Yeah,

629
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: surprised me. And he did a beautiful spin move in

630
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: the lane. He was at the rim and instead of

631
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: taking the wide open layup that would have given the

632
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: Cavs a nine point lead. So again, you know they

633
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: had some room to play with, but it was still

634
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: time left. He made like an awkward pass to Mobili

635
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: and I don't need a Mobiley wasn't ready for it.

636
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: It's like, what, why aren't you laying it in? And

637
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: he said he was basically trying for the triple double.

638
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: He apologized after the game. Donovan Mitchell said Cavs fans,

639
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I should have put the game away earlier.

640
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: That was a selfish moment. I ain't gonna lie. I

641
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: haven't had a triple double in my career. Almost lost

642
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: the game doing that. Don't be so hard on yourself.

643
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna lose the game. That's

644
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: a selfish move. Though it won't happen again. I apologize,

645
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: and I apologize to my teammates. I'm sorry, y'all. And

646
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: there was more talk about it too. He's like, it's

647
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: a teaching moment for kids out there. Let the game

648
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: come to you. Don't chase things like this, You'll get

649
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: them when they happen. Yeah, it was really weird. So

650
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: that was the only thing he did wrong was turning down,

651
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, a wide open lay up and trying to

652
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: get a triple double, which I couldn't believe he doesn't

653
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: have one. But anyway, they're thirteen to no.

654
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: They're thirteen to oh. And it's odd because Donovan Mitchell

655
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: did let things happen in this game until those last

656
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: few minutes where he had to score twelve points in

657
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: the last few minutes, if he had eleven points until

658
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: three minutes left in the fourth quarter, because he has

659
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: been giving Darius Garland the keys to being the fourth

660
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: quarter guy.

661
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: That's true.

662
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 3: And they big win for the Philadelphia seventy six ers,

663
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: even af though they didn't win. I mean says to

664
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 3: see them do this have a pretty good effort against the.

665
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: The CAFs best team in the league.

666
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: Right Yeah, So to me, the most impressive thing was

667
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: Jared McCain, the guy who said Mitchell put on skates

668
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: there getting his first start of his career. Yep, he

669
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: had just become the first guy off the bench in

670
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: the Sixers rotation previously. So this guy's just moving up

671
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: here as a rook and to drop thirty four career

672
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: high I mean he's been dropping career high. Yeah, he's

673
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 3: been dropping these career highs over and over this last week.

674
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 3: He's been extremely hot. Nick Nurse said, Kenny Atkinson ran

675
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: a box in one on one play to get to

676
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: get McCain off the ball, and you know what that's

677
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 3: because he can do that. He's such a good mid

678
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: range player. He's such a good dribbler. Now he's not

679
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: amazing at the rim, but it's gonna it's gonna continue.

680
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: The fact is the Sixers, it's a really weird season

681
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: for them thus far. But you know, Winn and Beat

682
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: and Paul George and Maxie get to one hundred percent.

683
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: This guy's part of irrotation. That is a great accomplishment

684
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: because who would have thought McCain would be part of this.

685
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: He drafted fifteen Yeah, that teens.

686
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Daryl Morley has done pretty well when it

687
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: comes to like small crafty guards in the draft? Where

688
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: do you get Max sixteen? He got twenty one. I

689
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: think it was in the twenties. Maxi's what if you

690
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: redid that draft, He's probably he's top three in the

691
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty draft, at least probably top two. And then

692
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: to find Jared McCain here at sixteen. He said, yeah, yeah,

693
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: so good work there from moriy when it comes to

694
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: drafting small, lightning bug guys that can fill up the

695
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: box score. Yeah, it was a good game. We wondered

696
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: if he was going to start. Remember, I think there's

697
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: just gotta get him in the starting lineup. He kept

698
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Lowry in there as well. But good to see McCain

699
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: have a good game. And yeah, they put up a fight.

700
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: They're missing them beat and Paul George and Maxion they

701
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: were in it, but Donovan Mitchell took over. Even if

702
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: he did chase that triple double. Hey, letson's learned. Okay,

703
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: let's go one more round task number five pick overall.

704
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna quickly stay in the Eastern Conference because

705
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: the Magic beat the Pacers and it wasn't the sexiest game,

706
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: but the Magic have a four game winning streak. That

707
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: is an accomplishment in the Eastern Conference. A four week

708
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: a four game winning streak is a big deal because

709
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: they are one of the only the three teams in

710
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference that are above five hundred. This team

711
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 3: is seven to six and they're third in the East,

712
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: which is very strange. They beat the Pacers, and similar

713
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: to last year, this Magic team is so good defensively.

714
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: Now they struggle a little bit offensively, especially with Paolo

715
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: Boncaro out. Their second in defense twenty fourth in offense.

716
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: But I think one positive to take from this four

717
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: game winning streak is Franz Wagner's starting a role, starting

718
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: to feel better and starting to look like the number

719
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: two guy on this team. Twenty nine points in this

720
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: one and a big number in assists. He had six

721
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: helpers and half of his assists were to Goga Bitaz,

722
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 3: who was the second highest scoring player for the Orlando

723
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: Magic in this game with twelve points. How the heck

724
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 3: do you win a game when your second highest scores

725
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: twelve points. Well, that's when you hold the Pacers to

726
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: only thirty eight percent shooting. That's the big thing I

727
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: thought the Magic bens Jonathan Isaac beasting it season high

728
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: in minutes, he had eleven boards and three blocks. Again,

729
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: don't work with the points, because somehow the manager make

730
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: wins happen without points. He didn't score a lot, but

731
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: it was kind of cool. At the end. Tyre's Halliburton

732
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: tried to shoot a three as time went down and

733
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: Isaac got the rebound the loose ball to seal it,

734
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: which was kind of fitting because he had such a

735
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 3: great game off the bench. The Halliburton story is interesting

736
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: as well because it should be a bit of a

737
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: story here with the Pacers only thirty nine percent from

738
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: the floor twenty seven percent for three. I know he's

739
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: had good games recently, but he's up and down.

740
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: How many good games has he honestly had this season?

741
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: Yea, like the last week. I think he's had a

742
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 3: couple of the last week or so. It is strange,

743
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: but I just wanted to mention that the Magic now

744
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 3: six and oh at home. They won seven games to

745
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 3: end last season at home. Wow, do we bump those

746
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: together until you won thirteen straight at home? No, that's gobbage.

747
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 3: But they play the seventy six ers on Friday at home,

748
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: so another good game. That's a copper. That should be

749
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 3: a fun one, but just to say that this team

750
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: is the third seeded team in the East. But it

751
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 3: does get hard for this team because I mentioned the

752
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 3: great home record, but they're going to have a lot

753
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: of road games and Paul Buoncaro probably going to miss

754
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: most of them. Yeah, hopefully he'll be back. But I

755
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: want to mention that they're about five hundred now because

756
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: it's probably not gonna last too too long.

757
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: It is nice to see, like you said, Franz stepping

758
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: up here offensively for a team that really needs it

759
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: and pages under the lineup and despite his three balls

760
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: sort of like leaving him again. Remember he started the

761
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: season solid this year. I remember talking about it on

762
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: the show. I think Franz was like three a six

763
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: three or six four to ten. It was like, okay,

764
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: that's a good percentage, and then it's sort of completely

765
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: left him again. But he's scoring other ways and he

766
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: is averaging Over his last five games, Franz is twenty

767
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: eight points per game, about six assists, six boards, shooting

768
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: forty six percent from the floor. Again, you'd like to

769
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: see the three point percentage little higher. It's sub thirty

770
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: over those five games, but he is like just enough

771
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: offensively when you have the best or one of the

772
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: best defenses in the league to get some of these victories.

773
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice to him.

774
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: I recently looked that up because again we're talking All

775
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: Stars Tomorrow show. It's like, yeah, where does Franz fall

776
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: in the mix, especially with Pallo. Yeah, you know, likely

777
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: not gonna make it. Maybe if you were picking him

778
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: right now, of course, So yeah, he's in the mix,

779
00:35:59,640 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: I think.

780
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, his percentages are pretty good and he's got a

781
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 3: career high and assists this year. He's become more of

782
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 3: a playmaker because the Magic are looking They're still looking

783
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: for that because Jalen Slucks is not quite that guy,

784
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 3: and he had an inefficient night last night shooting the ball.

785
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: But it's great to see Franz with almost five assists

786
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 3: per game. They need that beside Paula Boncerro. They need

787
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: him to be a playmaker. So he's developing. He's definitely

788
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: getting better, all right.

789
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: I have the final pick here when it comes to

790
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: drafting last night's best games or performances. Lots to pick from, Yeah, honestly,

791
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: lots to pick from. Give me Jalen Green scoring twenty

792
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: one though, as the Rockets beat the Clippers one to eleven,

793
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: one oh three. Because here's why I want to talk

794
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: about something specifically. First off, the Rockets used a big

795
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: run and the third quarter into the fourth built a

796
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: big lead. They were up like nineteen. This should have

797
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: been one of those games where they probably won by

798
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: like fifteen to twenty. But the Clippers came back. They

799
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: chip chip chip chipped away, and it was down to

800
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: like a four point game with like ninety seconds remaining,

801
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: so it was like up in the air. But Elprin

802
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 1: Shengun big dunk followed by monster block and that sort

803
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: of sealed the deal, got them the w so they

804
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: got there. But the reason I wanted to bring up

805
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: the Rockets and why I'm drafting them here because of

806
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: their bench and specifically the two studs in Tari Easton

807
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: and Iman Thompson. These guys are a boost off the

808
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 1: Rockets bench. It is fun to watch both of them.

809
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: Eastan has scored in double figures in five straight games,

810
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: Thompson has done so in three of the last four.

811
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: And man, when they come in the game just levels

812
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: up because these guys are energetic deflections playing defense. Obviously

813
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: they're high flyers. Both of them, and it just have

814
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: to It's one thing to have one of these guys

815
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: come in and inject life into a game, to put

816
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: them both in that Udoka gets to do and then

817
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: sometimes close with them out there. That is just that's

818
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: a good problem to have when you have so much

819
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: talent on this Rockets team. And I think he's pressing

820
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: all the right buttons here. They're eight and four and

821
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: you know they have one of the best defenses as well,

822
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: that's how they win a majority of these games. But

823
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: then these guys come in and play a part in that.

824
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: So I just want to show Eason and On then

825
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: Thompson some love their fun.

826
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: They deserve it. Yeah, it feels like it's rubbing off

827
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 3: on other players. Even the Rockets broadcasters were saying yesterday, well,

828
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: Reed Shepherd playing better defense that he's played all season,

829
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 3: Like he was energetic. You mentioned albertn shen gun and

830
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: that beautiful dunk and then he just literally sprinted the

831
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 3: other way in the final minute to get a block.

832
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: That doesn't feel like Albert shen gouon like he felt

833
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 3: like he was getting up four blocks in this game. Yeah,

834
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: this has this is the third best defense in the league.

835
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: As he said that thunder Magic Rockets. Yeah, the best defenses.

836
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: Right now, they're doing it. I saw this stat during

837
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: the game, the most steals plus blocks per game off

838
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 3: the bench for one player. It's Tarry Easton with a three.

839
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: You think it might be a Caruso. He his second,

840
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: he's around there, and it's key On, Elis Grant Williams

841
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: and Jay Huff because when Jay gets a block, it's

842
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 3: a tough stuff. As they say on the Memphis broadcast,

843
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 3: there's other players that are played fewer games on the

844
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: bench that are a little bit higher than that. But yeah,

845
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: it was a weird game because the Clippers decided we're

846
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: gonna start Chris done over, Terrence Matt You come off

847
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: the bench, Terrence Man and he was energetic and the

848
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 3: bench was great to bring them back into the game.

849
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: As you said that, Yes, they were playing like seven

850
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: guys off the bench in this game, because it looked

851
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 3: like Tyler was just saying, pull the plug, this game's over.

852
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly why the Rockets probably are kicking themselves a

853
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Maybe we should have put them away usually

854
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: when we were playing like the second unit, some of

855
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: these third string guys. But Tyler just giving him a chance.

856
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: And yeah it was a game. It was a game,

857
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: but they took care of business there. Just have you

858
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: seen the clips of Aman Thompson going around on Twitter

859
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: of like the speed that he moves at. Oh no,

860
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: I'm making the rounds and like people are like zeroing in,

861
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: like just see the distance.

862
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: He goes sports science.

863
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: It's just like it looks sped up because he's fast

864
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: as hell and so athletic. Yeah, seek those out. I'm

865
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: sure we'll see more of them. But good stuff from

866
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: the Rockets. Great start of the season. I was a

867
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: high on them. I hit the over when we dinner

868
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: over Under, so I'm feeling good. I don't want to

869
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: get too far ahead of myself.

870
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: But what was that a forty one and a half?

871
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: It made it higher, wasn't it? Was it forty two

872
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: and half?

873
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: Well maybe I don't know.

874
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: It was something around there. So, yeah, they look good.

875
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: Good start and four. Yeah, that's a heck of an accomplishment.

876
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: Another accomplishment. It got to mention Portland beating the minnesot

877
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Timberwolves two games in a row. Yes, it's a little

878
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: scary for the Timberwolves. No, Mike Conley is not the

879
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 3: reason they lost. I gotta mention that because it just

880
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: looked like the threes weren't falling down. I mean, that

881
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: was key in this game. But you got to mentioned

882
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 3: Portland and what they did shading Sharp scoring thirty three,

883
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 3: Donovan Klingen had eight fricking blocks. He nearly had a

884
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: triple double with blocks, seventeen boards. Excuse me, seventeen points,

885
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: thirteen boards and eight blocks, five of those in the

886
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. And they were doing a good enough job

887
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: to stop Minnesota's three point shooting, which was yeah, very

888
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 3: bad eighteen percent in this game. But to win two

889
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: games in a row when their lineups were they're they're

890
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: switching constantly. Chohncey Billips is trying some different things and

891
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 3: it's working with Scoot coming off the bench, Danny Avdia

892
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 3: coming off the bench even Yeah, so some strange lineups,

893
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 3: but are absolutely working to beat a team twice in

894
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: a row. That's the accomplishment.

895
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, a team that is good or should be good

896
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Timberwls. Yeah, they want to get the

897
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: hell out of Portland. I do not like it there.

898
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: It was awesome to see Sharp have a monster game

899
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: because you know it was overlooked last year some of

900
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,439
Speaker 1: his performances because he was on a crappy Blazer's team.

901
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 1: I get that, Like there wasn't a lot of people

902
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: talking about him. But he had some monster games. Then

903
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: he was injured. But this thirty three points. You see

904
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: some of his buckets too. You know, I didn't say

905
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: he didn't yam on Rudy, but I already sort of

906
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: made a business decision. I think he had a huge

907
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: putback dunk. Sharp did like a massive one down the stretch.

908
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: He is, I mean, you know, I'm in Thompson fast shooting.

909
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: Sharp hops, this guy leaps. He just has to go

910
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: in the dunk contest. Please, yeah, please Sharp go on

911
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: the dunk contest. He's like perfect, the perfect athlete for

912
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: the dunk contest, just like where his head is at

913
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: when he's like always looking down on the rim. So

914
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: that was good. The other action last night lebron third

915
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 1: straight triple double. Lakers rally to beat the Grizzlies. Thunder

916
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: destroyed the Pelicans. They had eighty eight points. The Pels

917
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: did Celtic punk the Nets, and the Kings beat the

918
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: Suns for the second time in four days. What you know,

919
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: no there was no Durant. Of course, no Beal also

920
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: for the Kings or for the Sons.

921
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, I know Morant for the Grizzlies, and no

922
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 3: Anthony Simons for the Blazers. We didn't mention their scoots

923
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: starting that one might be a good thing.

924
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Blazers might be better without a DeAndre and then

925
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: Simon's out there and play these other guys. It's possible

926
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: that Kings game though, I just want to share this.

927
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Someone named Matt slid into my d MS last night.

928
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: H huh, and in all caps.

929
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 3: He wrote to me, Yeah, what's Matt saying? Bro?

930
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: Make sure you guys talk about the cow Bell kid

931
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: playing for the school band during the halftime show of

932
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: tonight's Kings game. Okay, I was like Jesus, I literally

933
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: wrote back, L what well I found it. I don't

934
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: have it here for one because it's honestly, I'm a

935
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: little confused why it's so amazing. But there is a

936
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: kid during the halftime show. It's on uh, it's on

937
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: Reddit in the kick subreddit. I get it. The cow

938
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: Bell They love that in Sacramento. And this kid's got

939
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: some flair like he's got some Will Ferrell flair to him.

940
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: But that's it. That's all from what I could tell,

941
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: that was always going on. He would just playing the

942
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: cow bell in the high school band. But the crowd

943
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: seemed to be loving it and they had him on camera, so.

944
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 3: Maybe that was it was Matt in the crowd. I

945
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 3: don't know, sound be there.

946
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: I know all caps locks for that.

947
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: That's like, what, is it possible Matt is the kid?

948
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: It's very possible. It's very possible. It could be seemed

949
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 1: like a youngish kid to maybe have his own Instagram account,

950
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know how you.

951
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: Yes, I guess, yeah, I really do. So.

952
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: Congrats to the cow bell kid and Matt forgetting us

953
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: to talk about it on the show. All right, that's

954
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: all games. Anything you want to touch on the other.

955
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: Ones, No, no, I think we touched on them all.

956
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 3: But yes, you gotta beware of kids in the comments

957
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: because they are getting younger. I had to delete a

958
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 3: couple of comments from our YouTube account. I know who

959
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: did it, but it's literally a child, Oh boy, very

960
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: young child. I mean the comment we know this kid,

961
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: I do, I personally do. The comment was was totally fine. Okay, yes,

962
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: not a problem whatsoever?

963
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: Content wise?

964
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, not offensive by any means.

965
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: But did you reach out to the parent of this

966
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: said child and said.

967
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did some stuff. I did my back.

968
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: I don't even know this story. I'm intrigued by this.

969
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 3: No, it's not that interesting.

970
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm like going through the rolodex of like I got

971
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: like a top five list right now.

972
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't have anybody anybody on the internet. So yeah,

973
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 3: just beware. It wasn't my kid, was it? No? No, no child?

974
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 3: What child?

975
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: Like?

976
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: Young child?

977
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: Kid? Why would he care enough to delete it?

978
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I wouldn't care if Lincoln or Jackson.

979
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're grown.

980
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 3: Men, that's true.

981
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: You don't let them in the YouTube comments and the

982
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: no dugs.

983
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they're allowed to like the show, but stay

984
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 2: out of the comments.

985
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I don't know.

986
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: We got one of the nicest comment sections in the

987
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: YouTube tream.

988
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 3: I think. Yeah, great. JD did a great job with

989
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 3: his kids of keeping them away from social media for

990
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: a long period.

991
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: I did sixteen six sixteen sixteen.

992
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: It's unheard of.

993
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 2: Still too early, in my opinion, but you gotta let

994
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: go at some point.

995
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: Guys, So they weren't they weren't allowed on on the Gram. Nope,

996
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 3: no tweeters, nope, no facebooks.

997
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: None of it.

998
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: Wow, no Snap, you know they missed out on a

999
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: lot of stuff.

1000
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: Snap would have been massive. Maybe probably still is, but

1001
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: for your kids.

1002
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: Era, yep, for sure.

1003
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, I don't know. Didn't hear about

1004
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: that party?

1005
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah that's the.

1006
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: Problem, problem, the problem. What can you do?

1007
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 2: They're better for it though, it was.

1008
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: It was the right decision. Are they They missed a

1009
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: lot of great parties.

1010
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 3: They're fine, They're fine. They were like comment parties, people

1011
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: just sitting fishing in a room together.

1012
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 2: Just that's what the parties are.

1013
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 3: They look at their pretty much.

1014
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: All right. So let's get to tonight's pickup task. I

1015
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: know the game because there's only.

1016
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: One on Strange on a Thursday night to see one

1017
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 3: basketball game.

1018
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: I guess the whole part of this is we're not

1019
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: playing back to backs for those Cup games. Yeah, we

1020
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of teams playing their first Cup game

1021
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: on Friday, basically everybody else that didn't play on Tuesday

1022
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: or playing their first Cup game on Friday night. So

1023
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you gonna do?

1024
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: And some yeah playing their second game so we're putting

1025
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks against the Utah Jazz. Is the only

1026
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 3: game tonight.

1027
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 1: Okay, what's the line?

1028
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jazz nine and a half point underdogs, So Dallas,

1029
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: if you want to take them, they got to win

1030
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 3: by ten or more. And that that's why three of

1031
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 3: us believe that the Dallas Mavericks can do that. Well.

1032
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 3: I think, nah, they've already played once. Yeah in Dallas

1033
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 3: where it was just a ten point win. I think

1034
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: I think there.

1035
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: I was torn on this one, this line.

1036
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you tell a tough places play.

1037
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the MAVs have lost three straight games

1038
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: by one possession. I guess really good teams, So they

1039
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: are they going to just be pissed off and now

1040
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: you get a bit of an easier team and Utah

1041
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: that's had some blowout losses at home. That's ultimately my thinking.

1042
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: It's like they're like they're angry, but you never know.

1043
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: Back door covers happened too. It could be like they're

1044
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: up sixteen late, you pull all your main guys and

1045
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: then like you know, I don't know, some fourteenth man

1046
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: on the Jazz hits three threes and like they cover.

1047
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: That could happen.

1048
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely could happen. But you know, pumpkin Pie is on

1049
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 3: the line here, and it feels like it's November. There's

1050
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 3: a lot of days, but it's probably not with Thanksgiving

1051
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: happening November.

1052
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeahs giving people at least a few days off

1053
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: here and imagine.

1054
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: So these are important. These are important even though there's

1055
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 3: just one game and tomorrow we're not going to be

1056
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,839
Speaker 3: talking a lot about Dallas. Youta, I don't think, oh.

1057
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: No, I do think we can take an early, dumb,

1058
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: early look at All Star rosters because I think it'll

1059
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: be a fun exercise to go through who made it

1060
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: last year, who are the locks in both conferences to

1061
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 1: sort of make it again, and then how many openings

1062
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: there are, and then who's in who's in the running

1063
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: or if there are other locks that you think, oh yeah,

1064
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: like Karl Anthony towns Now, he was an All Star

1065
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: last year in the West, he's going to be one

1066
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: in the East.

1067
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 3: His numbers are rumbled playing amazing.

1068
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we can go through that exercise. I think

1069
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: it'll be fun. We'll do that with TK and yeah,

1070
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: if this game is entertaining, we'll talk about it. Worst

1071
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: of the Week you got some nobs.

1072
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, there's absolutely nominations for Worst of the Week.

00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,920

Speaker 1: I want to know, you know what? Tell me tomorrow.
