We're gonna get 54 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: you coming back for you because man, all jokes aside. Man, 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: I had tears in my eyes last night watching Caleb 56 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: Foster just with a gutsy I'm talking about gutsy performance. 57 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 5: Man. 58 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: This kid is playing on it. Like they said, he 59 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: had a broken foot just two weeks ago, broke a 60 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: bone in his foot, and he really, he really just 61 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: showed his his true heart man, and he would never 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: ever have to buy another full beverage anything in Durham 63 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: or North Carolina Hill. But again, man, what a performance 64 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: last night from from my. 65 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: When I watched that game, they were struggling with the 66 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: pressure that Saint John's was putting on them. Kate and 67 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: Boozer was having he was having problems dealing with that 68 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: pressure and making the right pass, and then that your past. 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: When they brought Kayla Faster in, he kind of settled 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: him down. He scored I believe it was seven to 71 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: nine points straight. It kind of got him back in 72 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: the rhythm, got him flowing again offensively. That to me 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 3: was what changed the game, at least in my opinion, 74 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 3: just calmed everybody down. Letter I got you, and then 75 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: Evans and Cam Boozer kind of took it from there. Man. 76 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: Speaking of Isaiah Evans, we called him Slim. Here at 77 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: the crib in North Carolina, we called him Slim. This 78 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: is a two time Gatorade, you know, player of the 79 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: Year in North Carolina, mister basketball in the state of 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: North Carolina. In his first couple of years. Last year 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: at Duke, he kind of was like lost in the shuffle. 82 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: You know, he could have hit the portal, he could 83 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: have transferred, but he stayed. He locked in. He didn't 84 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: cheat the grind. 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: You know. 86 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: He came back to Duke when a lot of other 87 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: schools was throwing him the nil bag. And last night 88 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: he showed the world that he's a first round pick. 89 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: You see the array of shot he was making and 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: the crunch time, the step back, the step back, three daggers. 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: Like you're right, Rick Petino. I knew that was gonna 92 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: be a really really tight game because Rick Patino is 93 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: a mastermind. Like he's a mastermind with that. You remember 94 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 2: those old Kentucky teams how they used to play up tempo, 95 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: used to press U, Tony Hill Ghot squaws with Garrick Anderson, 96 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: Like we know Patino is the godfather, So I knew 97 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: that matchup was gonna be a chess match between him 98 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 2: and and young Shire. Like look at Shire, bro, Like 99 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: John Shire, like he's showing the world, like he really 100 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: he really stepped right in for coach k And it's 101 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: like they didn't miss a beat. Unlike UNC right now, 102 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: who like I say, they in shambles. They don't know 103 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: who they coach about to be. But look at Duke Man. 104 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: Just look at the program right now, like you got 105 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: pros all across the board. Liked Cameron Boozer last night. 106 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,559 Speaker 2: He didn't have the best of games, but once again 107 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: he is a winner. Bro, Like, I love this Duke 108 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 2: team though. I think this is a real special unit 109 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: and their performance last night from Cayler Foster. Man, that's 110 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: the type of heart when you teammates you have their 111 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: back like that because you know they probably don't win 112 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: that game without Kayler Foster. It's like, yeah, it's like, 113 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: think about the type of cache that's giving you with 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: your teammates now in the locker room tour, I feel 115 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: like Duke now, man, that Yukon game is going to 116 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: be a barn burner them from an X and O standpoint, 117 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: because we know the Huskies, man, they get up in 118 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: your shorts, they playing physical defense, they hand checking, so 119 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a big East team VERSU ACC team. 120 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: But I don't know about y'all. The Arizona wildcast right now. 121 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: Hey man the way, hey listen, man. 122 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 2: They got they got a ray of light skinned shooters 123 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: over there on that team. And I'm telling y'all, like, 124 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: I love my Duke Blue Devils, man, like I got 125 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: my fan hat on today, slash media hat. But man, 126 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: I don't I want that just for the sake of 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: a basketball fan perspective, if you know what I mean, Like, 128 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: I want to see Arizona in the chip against. 129 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 4: Duke, but Dad would be it. 130 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: They're gonna be a tough out man with that. 131 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 3: Can you imagine Corey Pete and Boozer going at it 132 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: all game bro braydon Berry's and Evans. 133 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: We need that championship game. No disrespect to Michigan and 134 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: some of the other teams that's left. You know, Illinois. 135 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 3: Have three three Big ten teams in the Elite eight, 136 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: her Due and Iowa. Cause outside I believe Iowa is 137 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: the surprise team is in the Elite eight. They are 138 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: two seeds. Iowa is not a top seed. Iowa was 139 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: a nine seeds. I'm sorry, I'm thinking. I'm thinking for Due, 140 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: my bad, I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, for duing to Illinois, 141 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: are three any surprises outside of Iowa and the early eight? 142 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: Not really? 143 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: Man, Iowa, like Ben in start shot to him, man, 144 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: like this kid came from like D two. He was 145 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: a D two kid. 146 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: Now they're saying he's like a he got. 147 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: A chance to go first round. Like ben at Sturt 148 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: to Iowa, like he played forty minutes. He's playing the 149 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: whole game. He not coming out like he looked like 150 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: an army kid, dead out there with the military fade, 151 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: Like he looked like he don't even play basketball. It's 152 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: funny to see, but it hasn't really been these sockers, 153 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: Like I would say Illinois. If you look at them though, 154 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: look at their roster, their rosters, they got kids, they 155 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: got Lithuania, the big kid from Lithuania, I don't want 156 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: to butcher his name. Lottery picks all across the board. 157 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: So like Illinois has really built their basketball program up 158 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Man, so it's gonna be 159 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: a slub fest right now. They're saying Arizona is the favorite. 160 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 2: Like you look on polty market, they twenty seven percent 161 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: right now. So like im saying, Michigan, we've seen what 162 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: they can do. Didn't beat them though earlier this year. 163 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: So I think I said this all college basketball seasons 164 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 2: because I've been watching even random obscure college basketball teams 165 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: all year. I knew this March madness, this bracket was 166 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: gonna be like this. So I think we're going to 167 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: get one of the best final fours. It's going to 168 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: be like one of those final fours like the Duke 169 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: in Michigan, the Fab five, Christian Lahner. It's going to 170 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: have a real aura to it this year. I think. 171 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: When when you look at it, are the sender Ruller teams. 172 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: Will we no longer see that because if you got 173 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: some good players that are on a mid major team, 174 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: we're just a smaller team. They're going to transfer to 175 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,479 Speaker 3: a bigger program. Have we seen the end of FAU 176 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: making a Final four run, Loydo Love Chicago making a run. 177 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 3: Have we seen the end of those type of teams. 178 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: It's tough because that budgets, Like those teams with those 179 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: bigger budgets, it's just rent a player, right, You just 180 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: renting a player that you're going to players now from 181 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: the men majors, they're going to the highest bidder in 182 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: the ACC, you know, the ACC schools, the Big East schools. 183 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: So that's what they're seeing across with Gate down. Yeah, exactly, 184 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: Like you want to get more exposure. But if you're 185 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: a kid that played for Murray State or Middle Tennessee State, 186 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: you want to level up and go play for Duke. 187 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: Like you look at Malik Brown for Duke, right, Yeah, 188 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: he did play for Syracuse for Syracuse Basketball in twenty 189 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: twenty six. Is not the Duke basketball brand, right, So, 190 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: like he elevated his game now defensive player of the 191 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: Year in the ACC and he had a chance to 192 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: be a second round draft pick and get a spot 193 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 2: in the league. You know, just like Sion James did 194 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: last year with Duke when he transferred over from Tulane. 195 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: Like Tulane has never been a basketball school, right, Sion James. 196 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: He comes to Duke last year six six You remember 197 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: him last year with the muscles and all. Everybody thought 198 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: it was a football Yeah, right, next thing, you know, 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: did Charlotte Hornet say, yo, we need that type of guy. 200 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: If you go back and watch his tape at Tulane, 201 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: he averaged over twenty twenty two points a game, but 202 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: he came to Duke and he bawled in to the 203 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 2: brotherhood like you saw last night with Caleb Fok. 204 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 6: And if you go back and look at Malik Brown 205 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 6: playing at Syracuse Man, there's no way he would have 206 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: received these accolades that he yep, as we'll save at 207 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 6: Duke because the stage that he's playing on and now 208 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 6: he's one of the best perimeter defenders and all the 209 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 6: college football, I mean all the college basketball. He's the 210 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 6: same player from Syracuse. But we go to Duke, Man, 211 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 6: you're playing behind that brand the shire. Everybody knows about 212 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 6: the tradition, you know, playing that duke and playing on 213 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 6: that stage and playing some of it gets some of 214 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 6: the best talent. There's no way he would accomplish these 215 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 6: things that he's done, that duke if he was still 216 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 6: at Syracuse. 217 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: Hey, TJ real quick.

They not rescinding this when 378 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: he go to sit the next game out. He's gonna 379 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: have to sit this next game out. What is going 380 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: on with this MVP race? You got weinby politicking? Defense 381 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: is half of the game. Yeah we know that, but y'all, 382 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 3: kitch got it. He ain't playing no defense. Why is 383 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: it that Jalen Brown is kind of falling out, Like 384 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 3: he was talked about being one of the lead and 385 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 3: contenders for the MVP, and it's kind of like, since 386 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 3: Jason Tatum has come back, his name is not spoken 387 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 3: about being MVP anymore, and it's really now Luca, Sga 388 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: and Wemby and he's kind of falling out. Let's unpack 389 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 3: all of that. 390 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: I think it's really you hit the nail on the head, 391 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: Like I feel like every since Tatum did re emerge 392 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: and come back from his injury, that Jalen Brown has 393 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: kind of like like the five heartbeat, you know what 394 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: I'm saying that Eddie Kane. Eddie Kane came back to 395 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: light skin Eddie Kane. That's Jayson Tatum. He came back. 396 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: He the start of the group and the fans eyes, 397 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: so now you're back in kind of like if you've 398 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: been watching the Celfish games. I will commend Dyalen Brown 399 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: for like letting Jason Tatum find his way, you know, 400 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: letting Jason tell him get his ribbing. 401 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: But I would say the MVP right. 402 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 2: Now if I had a vote, which I should have, 403 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: if you ready think about this, I should have a vote, 404 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 2: right if I had a vote right now, I will 405 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 2: go with Luca Man. Like, I know the narrative is 406 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: they want to give it to SGA so he can 407 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: get his back to back nbbs. That's gonna put him 408 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 2: in a different whole echelon of players once you get 409 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 2: back to back NBB's right. 410 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 6: So I do. 411 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: Feel like his name is already engraved on the trophy. 412 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: You know, they just haven't given it to him yet, 413 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 2: but Sga, Shay Gibbris, Alexander, Like, I feel. 414 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 4: Like he's gonna win the award. 415 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: They already it's four gone at this point. I feel 416 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: like I'm just saying if I was a voter looking 417 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: at just the last ten games of Luca Magic, like 418 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: forty one last night, forty three, thirty two, thirty three, 419 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: sixty ball, forty ball, thirty six, thirty five, forty four, Like, 420 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: it's not just the number of points he's scoring, plaques 421 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: and TJ, it's the effortless buckets. It's at a point 422 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: where you now you play two K or kids play 423 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: two K. 424 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 4: He is playing on rookies. It looks like the game 425 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 4: is on rookie for Luca right now. Like he's smiling, he's. 426 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 2: Talking trash to the other team on their bench, he's 427 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: looking at the opposing coaches. He should step backs, falling 428 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: out of bounds like it's unreal the array of shots 429 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 2: he's making. But if I had to give my vote, 430 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: I would say Lucas should win it because he's averaging 431 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 2: over forty points. Just he's on an onslaught right now. 432 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: Look, I give it to you, I understand. I get it. 433 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 6: Luca has been playing phenomenal brand of basketball for the 434 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 6: past ten games, But you cannot equate that to the 435 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 6: season that SGA has. 436 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 3: Had and put this out the past ten games he 437 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: been it's more than that. But go ahead. 438 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 6: But I'm just I'm just coming on what Kuff said. 439 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 6: I just think that you said they want to give 440 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 6: SGA the MVP. 441 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 3: No, he has earned. 442 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: Get you, Tapy. 443 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like the narrative sound when you can 444 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: get it back to back, that sounds. 445 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 3: Good, absolutely, because he deserves it. 446 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 6: I get that, you know that that that that that 447 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 6: Luca is playing great basketball. But I think when it 448 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 6: all comes down to it, uh, the m v P 449 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 6: award to me is based on not just going to basketball, 450 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 6: but but playing a complete brand of basketball and I 451 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 6: think that we all know defensively, that's where people get 452 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 6: in their mixed feelings about Luca. 453 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 3: It happens every night. 454 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: But look, but black today, we can't say that because 455 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: Steve Nash won two m v ps and he did 456 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 2: not move. He did not move those puppies. Jokis one 457 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: what two MVPs or three three? 458 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: Three got three? 459 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: He's never guarded a soul. 460 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 3: Who So don't make it about defense now it is 461 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 3: to me and the one. 462 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 4: Thing, the one more thing about Luca in this in 463 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 4: this tear, he's. 464 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: Been on like this onslaught. He's the first player to 465 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: ever forty points over a six game span since MJ 466 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: often not on the road. The last six road games 467 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: he's gotten forty balls. 468 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 4: Like MJ didn't do this. This is this is rare 469 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 4: of fied hair speaking to MJ. 470 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 2: So I just feel like, Okay, the better question is this, y'all, 471 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: how do we quantify the award? Is it like best 472 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: team on the best with the best record, best player 473 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: on the team. 474 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: With the best record, like SGA or what are we doing? 475 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: It can be because y'all, kitch, I believe the Nuggets 476 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: were the fifth seed when he won MVP. So you moving, 477 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 3: it's moving a gold post now because they were won it. 478 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: We don't know. 479 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: We don't know the crocteria from year to year, right, 480 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: we don't know the criteria what the voter's looking for. 481 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: I look at it this way. If Sga wasn't on, 482 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 3: if he missed an extended period of time for the Thunder, 483 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: what would their record be? If Luca missed an extended 484 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: time with the Lakers, what would their record? 485 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing the. 486 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: Right and that's an n DP. If your team can 487 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: still stay afloat when you out are you you're important. 488 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 3: It's like when Michael Jordan retired the Bulls with Scottie Pippen, 489 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: what they win fifty four to fifty five games? Games? 490 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 3: And so so it was like, wow, he his supporting 491 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 3: cast is awesome. Come on, we were talking about mj 492 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 3: Come on, you get what I'm saying is, m Oklahoma 493 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: City they have a really did the Bulls? We the 494 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: Bulls won fifty fifty seven games without them the year 495 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 3: he retired, and that they won fifty seven games. They 496 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 3: won fifty seven games. That's not assumption, that's that's a fact. Okay, 497 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 3: So how many games you think the Lagas went without Luca, 498 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 3: they probably win thirty five thirty. 499 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: They'll be the West Coast brook without Luca. 500 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: And so to me, that's MVP of what you bring 501 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 3: to the table night in and night out with Oklahoma 502 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: City be the number one seed. No, but he hasn't 503 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 3: been doing it night in and night out. 504 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 6: He's been doing it for the last month a basketball season. 505 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 4: He's the leading scorer in the league. I want to say, 506 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: you got to take the stat Lucas leading the league score. 507 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 3: Yes, he's leading the scoring by Just a few weeks 508 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 3: ago you was called him a low carb Luca. You 509 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: didn't know what he was doing. I just don't get. 510 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 6: I don't understand because what you're saying about Luca, because 511 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 6: it's like one one week you feel this way about him, 512 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 6: and six games later. 513 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: He's the MVP. You gotta make your mind up. 514 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 6: Man. 515 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 3: Somewhere along the line. 516 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: It's the same example what I'm saying. 517 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 2: When when Bam got eighty three right the other before 518 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 2: he had eighty three, nobody looked at Bam the way 519 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: they looked at Bam as a player, Thanks James Quick 520 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 2: in the NBA. Now we're expecting Bam to get twenty 521 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: every game, and he has performing elevated his game. When 522 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: I called him, when I called Luka Dunks empty calories. 523 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 2: Earlier this season, he was empty calories because he was 524 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: taking bad shots at the wrong time. Now, if you 525 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: look at his numbers, it's more balanced to his stats 526 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: now that sits are there, the rebounds there. He's actually 527 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: trying on defense now because he understands that the Lakers 528 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: actually have a punch of chintz. I don't think they do, 529 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: but the Laker fan base thinks they have a punch 530 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: of cash. Right. We've seen lebron, We've seen Broni out 531 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 2: there the other night. Everybody gets some runs. Jackson Hayes 532 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: is playing the best he's ever played against life. You 533 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like this team believes. Man, I 534 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 2: don't think. 535 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna be able. 536 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: I mean we the Laker fans. I don't think the 537 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: Lakers gonna be able to get past the second round. 538 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 4: But like this, look at Luca is carrying his team. 539 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: This Lakers roster is nowhere near what the Mavericks roster 540 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 2: was right far, this talent from top to botus. 541 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 3: If the Lakers may, they as of now, they would 542 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: play Minnesota, I believe first around or Phoenix. 543 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fluid. That's changing like that. That that that 544 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: four or five kind of fluid right now. 545 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: Could they could they beat the Spurs in the second 546 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 3: round if they made it just because of the inexperience. No, absolutely, 547 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: not very simple. 548 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: Jig is going to hover in the second round. 549 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 6: No, No, I just believe maybe you might win one 550 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 6: of two games. 551 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 3: But we're talking the seven game series. 552 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: Where you much die. 553 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 6: The physicality what they play with Wimby, who I believe 554 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 6: he's not going to be the m v P. That's 555 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 6: Jig is going to be the m v P and 556 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 6: Wimby is going to be Defensive Player of the Year. 557 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: That that's about five, six, seven, eight years in a row. Yeah. 558 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 6: With that being said, it's gonna be a tough match 559 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 6: for anybody coming out of the Western Conference playing a 560 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 6: seven game series against San Antonio. 561 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: Man, that's how And they're just going to continue to 562 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 3: get better as these series go on. You keep talking, 563 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 3: we keep calling them, y'all, y'all know, there are steps 564 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: you got to take plex when you're not just going 565 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 3: from never in the player and women we've never seen before. 566 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: All the steps out the window. The greatest players we've 567 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 3: ever seen play this game. I know the steps you 568 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 3: must take, what the falls that you must encounter, you 569 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: having from it. And he has in the playoffs. W 570 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 3: the last time of Spurs been in the playoffs. 571 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 6: He hasn't advantaged TJ something that we are and the 572 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 6: teams are trying to figure out how to neutralize and 573 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 6: and it's it's not gonna be easy. You can get 574 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 6: into him and get physical with him, all all that, 575 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 6: but when this man is, he's making it. He's making 576 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 6: that eighteen foot from the free throw line, he's making 577 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 6: the three pointers. 578 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 3: Man, He's he's visually unstoppable. 579 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 6: What he says, what Nord say, He's like Tim dunkle Man, 580 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 6: like close to unstoppable.

It's like an eighteen team 635 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 3: flatten lottery where they expanded the eighteen teams, the play 636 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: in teams. They will obviously be a part of that. 637 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 3: Then they have a twenty two team two year lottery 638 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 3: where the first round exit losers of a team they 639 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 3: get into the lottery, and then it's like a five 640 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 3: y five double lottery.
