1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: We're back, and the Pelicans are looking like legitimate title contenders,

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: and it appears to have some other teams in their

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: collective feelings, which I understand. Meanwhile, the Celtics continue to

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: dominate in the Eastern Conference, and we'll get into that

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,520

00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,440

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,760

41
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: look at these, look at the gang altogether. Wait, so

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: what was that? Like? I mean, so we always like

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: to ask up top, you know, like what's your what

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: was your fandom journey? Essentially? I mean I basically cut

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: my teeth on MJ and the Bulls. That's when I

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: first really got to the league. And uh, look I

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: have the re worse about it. Once MJ left, I

48
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: jumped ship. I didn't. I'm not I'm not watching I'm

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: not watching this trash. And did you did you like

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: strategically jumped to the Celtics because they had had so

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: much success, And you were like, all right, no, I

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: like Paul Pierce, like like Antonine Walker for some reason,

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Antwine Walker. You know, I think I had a pair

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: of shoes and people my favorite players and so like

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: even though they or fun to watch. So yeah, Employee

56
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: number eight was that was that his? He had like

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: some nickname that just never got off the ground. It

58
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, something, I mean, it was all manufactured

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: by Adidas, right right, they really climed some employee that

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: I make baskets. Wow, this is in the feat you

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: wear era of Adida's shoots out of Me, right, because yeah,

62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: that's when they had their their basketball commercials on Point.

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: What was that like, you know seeing Rick Fox kind

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: of leave y'all and then go to the Lakers. Did

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: that hurt or you don't? You don't even care? No,

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. I've never been a super emotional fan, like,

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, wow, how do you do that? Because every

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: time we have all of our guests come on, they're

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: all like emotionally healthy. They're like adults about their basketball.

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm over here like wedding my pants because the Clippers

71
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: scored a basket, you know what I mean. So, like

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do it. I don't know

73
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: how to parse through it all. I just don't get that, man,

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Which is I find like super fans like fascinating because like, yeah,

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: it sucks the lose, like we lost the finals that year.

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: This sucks. And my friends like, oh, you must be

77
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: so piste off, like we were just in the finals, bro,

78
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Like where were y'all? Man? Like, why would I be

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: piste off and trying to talk trash the Lakers, my friends?

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Who was a Laker? You like, what why would I

81
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to trash talk me? You didn't

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: you were you didn't make the playoffs? What do you so? Yeah,

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: you operate from wisdom like you're like, but comparatively, I

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: have nothing to be upset about, but you have everything

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: to be I mean, think about where Celtics worked last January,

86
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, at one point eighteen and

87
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: twenty one, and go from that to the finals, like

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: to be sad about it. Stucked watching Jayson Tatum play

89
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: like you know, Gerald Wallace, you know that stuck watching

90
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: him get locked up by Wiggins. That wasn't a lot

91
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: of fun. You know that we saw the camp last

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: weekend a couple of times, but you know that happen.

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: What are your feelings on the Celtics because like over

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: here we're like, man there, who's who's gonna stop them?

95
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: But I know, you know, the last couple of last

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: couple of games been of a bit of a hiccup.

97
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: The last couple of games it looked identical to last

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: season where and took off. So that lets me know

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: that there's still remnants of whatever kind of hanging around

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the team. I'm a huge Jalen Brown fan. I like

101
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: Jayleen more than Tatum, Like, that's my guy. I've been

102
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: a big market smart guy since he's there. So those

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: are my two favorite Celtics. Um I get that Tatum

104
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: is the Rolls Royce, but I like the other two better.

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, I have a good feeling about him.

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: I didn't. I've been kind of waiting for the other

107
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: shooter drop all season, you know, and I think the

108
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: last two games almost maybe I've been a little self

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: fulfilling prophecy, like, man, they can't be this good. This

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I didn't think that shooting, really, that shooting

111
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: might not be sustainable. They had four guys over and

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: like they were just bombing. I thought it would come

113
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: back down to earth a little bit. I didn't think

114
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: they would do what they just did. That's working against

115
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: the Suns and then the Clippers. Those are really too

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: bad stinkers. Two real stinkers though. You mean the Warriors

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: and the I'm sorry the Warriors. Yeah, yeah, he beat

118
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: up on the Sun. I was gonna say, did that

119
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: kind of for me? It looked like once that game happened,

120
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh boy, here we go. And then

121
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: it looked like up the Warriors came, and then a

122
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of fans are like, man, Tatum's got the Warriors

123
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: living rent flee in his head. It's true. I think

124
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: he wants so bad to overcome it that he he

125
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: looked want it too bad. And then last game he

126
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: gets the Clippers, same kind of thing. The Clippers just

127
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: put two bodies at him and he gets I feel

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: like he gets into his own head a little bit,

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: and I mean he doesn't just play. I can see

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: him try to do moves and like, why would you

131
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: just yours into that guy? But in his head he

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: was already thinking I'm driving, I'm gonna do to yours

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: DAF I mean right right. Yeah. So the thing we

134
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: talked about, I think on last week's episode is that

135
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: their offensive efficiency, their offense this season, like last season,

136
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the thing that really was the engine of their kind

137
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: of breakout success. Halfway through the season when yeah, I

138
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: think he said eighteen twenty one, they were they were

139
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: not a special team, and then their defense just jumped

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: up a level and they became one of the best

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: defensive teams of all time and suddenly they were like unbeatable.

142
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: And this season their offense has been that so home,

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: their offense is just weigh head and shoulders. When they're

144
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: at home, there it's head and shoulders above everybody else

145
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: in the NBA. And when it's away, they have the

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: fourth best offensive efficiency in the league. So overall they're

147
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: still heading shoulders above everybody else. But it feels like

148
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: there's something where they're just like a little more comfortable

149
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: at home, which obviously is not out of the ordinary.

150
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: But do you think in watching the games, do you

151
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: feel like there's something repeatable. Do you think like the

152
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Warriors or the Clippers like figured out something or is

153
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: it just there there's a mental block there. Um, I

154
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: think the big thing was out or for being out

155
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: for both. Now I call him it's it's a funny term,

156
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: but I didn't really said. I call him the offensive lubricant. Yeah,

157
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: because he makes everything so yeah, he makes everything to

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: run smoother. You know, he's a just smart player. And

159
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: then defensively, especially against the Warriors, Blake Griffin and Luke

160
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: Cornette can't be on the floor and they they had

161
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: to be on the floor and and and up and

162
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: play and even Jordan Pool just feasted right there in

163
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: the deep drop. So these guys are coming off and

164
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: take a shooting practice and they got comfortable, and that's

165
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: what happened against the Warriors. Um Al Horford kind of

166
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: mitigates that, and then rob Williams help mitigate that. So yeah, defensively,

167
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: I think Boston's problem right now they let the game

168
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: affect them. So when they get behind, they start playing

169
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: a little tight on. You start playing a little hero

170
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: ball only Jalen Brown doesn't seem to really care things

171
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: like I'm going to scoop, But yeah, Tatum gets in

172
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: his head a little bit. I think Malcolm Brodden trying

173
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: to do too much last game, So yeah, I think

174
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: they got something to figure out. Jayleen Brown gets better

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: every season, which is like this season he's an averaging

176
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine point eight points, nine point six boards, and

177
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: four point two assists a contest I guess in the

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: month of December. But he's he's just getting so he

179
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: just gets so much better season after season. Do you

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: think the thing that I think I'm most excited to

181
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: see about when Robert Williams returns is do you think

182
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: he will be doing the contest from the paint the

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Cornett contest to contest where he jumps when he's not

184
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: even close, just to like some of the concentration. I've

185
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: seen one player make a shot when he did that.

186
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: It was a guy from tront what's it, I think,

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Gary Trent Jr. I think, yeah, I think I saw

188
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: him maker three. Other than that, I literally haven't seen

189
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: a single of the person make a shot. And it's

190
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: funny because now even like they're talking about it on

191
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: the games, Um no, I doubt anybody else and gonna

192
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: start doing that. Yeah, did someone else do it? I

193
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: thought someone else tried it? Yeah, Marcus, Marcus, I know

194
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: on the other night we talked about the last episode,

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: but I could have swore Now maybe I'm just yeah,

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: taking that left over excitement like it's becoming a thing.

197
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the proof is in the pudding, Like, yeah,

198
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: people miss shots when he does it somehow, and he's

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: done it a lot and people a lot of shots,

200
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: so it's it's it's uh, it sounds dumb, and I

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: know that, um what's his name, TNT guy, Jeff. I

202
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: know Jeff Van Gundy was making fun of him how

203
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: ridiculous it was. But but it works. I Mean that's

204
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: what's so funny. Like, sometimes the most effective things are

205
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: just things that are right in front of you, Like man,

206
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: that looks foolish, and you're like, you're actually blocking their

207
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: vital moment of seeing the basket when they're like, you

208
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: know whatever. But it's because, like we talked about how

209
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: Shacks did, I'm not shooting Granny free throws because it

210
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: wasn't cool. Yeah, you know, and that Shack you could

211
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: have scored like a billion more points if I gotta

212
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: be cool. So it looked cool, but I don't worry.

213
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: My fused wrist is all good. Check this out. I'm

214
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: just gonna push it straight there and make Charles Oakley

215
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: look like Mark Price or something. It's also like Shane

216
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: Battier did that. One of his secret hacks was he

217
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: would put his hand directly in the face of the

218
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: shooter so that they couldn't see the basket, so they yeah,

219
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: there there might be something there. There's also this basketball

220
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: documentary called Basketball where they just try and distract the

221
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: players well shooting. Yeah, Matt Parker and Tray stone Man

222
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: really slept on in the league. Would the best for you? James?

223
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: What's the end rule with the Celtics, like we're ending up.

224
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Are you saying, are we getting to the finals? It's

225
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: it's gonna stop at the conference finals. What do you think? So?

226
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm very much a pragmatic basketball fan, where I know

227
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: to make the finals, you can have all the talent

228
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: in the world, but it takes a combination of luck, talent, discipline, endurance,

229
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: mental stamina. All these things have to be in the

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: in the gumbo and the right ingredients, because not only

231
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: luck for you to you know, hit shots right down,

232
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: You're gonna run into an opponent that has somebody injured,

233
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna run to an opponent that has might suspended, opponent

234
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: with somebody in a deep funk. It's gonna happen. Last year,

235
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: there's a confluence of events that led to Boston making

236
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: the finals. The chances of that happening again are so

237
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: low that I wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't. I

238
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: want them to, and I think they have to talent

239
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: to what we all will know. Rob Williams health is

240
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: a question. Just a couple of years ago, Jalen Brown

241
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: heard himself before the playoffs and didn't get to play.

242
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: All it takes is one badly spring ankle. All it

243
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: takes is one uh pulled hamstring. All it takes is

244
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: one concussion protocol at the wrong time. So I know

245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: the chances are really really low, but I think all

246
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: the ingredients are there for Boston to do it. Okay, Now,

247
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: when you're sitting a top the league like the Celtics

248
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: currently are, I think in a lot of people's estimation,

249
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: but like, just like you know, sitting up looking at

250
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the challengers, like, I think you have a unique vantage

251
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: point as to you can tell us who scares you

252
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: when you're looking around the league, like who who actually

253
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: scares you? Because the Celtics are the in my opinion,

254
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: the best team in the league, and when that's the

255
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: team you're rooting for, you have a confidence. But you

256
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: also have like an increased heightened sensitivity to like who's

257
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: actually dangerous around the league? I'm curious to hear what

258
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: are the teams that that frighten you as a Celtics fan. Milwaukee, Um,

259
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: your honest is a force in nature. And while Boston

260
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: did a decent job, but they still barely escaped with

261
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the scared their teeth last year to playoff Chris Middleton

262
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: being back. They're gonna be tough. I do. I'm gonna

263
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: walk in. After all, this thing with Boston and the

264
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: Milwaukee had look great. I think Milwaukee but a game

265
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: behind Boston right now. When Middleton came back, he was playing,

266
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: I think I was watching his second game back. He

267
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: was just hitting threes that are the most contested three.

268
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: It's just a skill that like he has unlike anybody else,

269
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Like it's just a bad shot from anybody else, and

270
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: he's just you know, he doesn't like elevate that much.

271
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: He just has a quick release and he will shoot

272
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: it directly in your face like that. That really put

273
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: me back in the Milwaukee's really dangerous. Something about him

274
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: playing Boston, he turns into prime freaking almost t mac

275
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: or something. I'm thinking there was a couple of games

276
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: that I remember when like he hit a shot I

277
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: could turn around over Marcus Smart from like thirty feet

278
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: at the buzzer to go in overtime. And Yeah, it's

279
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: something about seeing Boston Green, Kelly Green, he just kind

280
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: of he goes bonkers. Obviously, the Warriors, the wars are

281
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: in their head right now. They're they're in their head.

282
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown said that at the press conference at the

283
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: last game that he thinks that we wanted to win

284
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: this game too badly. We had a circled on you know,

285
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: on our on our calendars, and we were pressed thing.

286
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: We played a little tight. So yeah, that the words

287
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: that wanted to sit in their head. You gotta win

288
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: the games that you want to win. So in my experience,

289
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: you gotta learn to win those because, like I feel like,

290
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: especially if I'm in the NBA Finals, I'm gonna want

291
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: to win that game the first Personally, I don't want to.

292
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose that when a lot of

293
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: people are watching. Yeah, I know we've all seen somebody

294
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: who tried. You try too hard and you end up

295
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: screwing it up. I'm number one tried too hard guys. Yeah, totally.

296
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Those are two of the real ones. We're not scared

297
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: than that. They shouldn't be scared than nets. They've they've

298
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: proven that they can deal with the nets anytime. They're

299
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: just two disciplines over the nets. Philly, obviously you're scared of.

300
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: But we don't have to talk about that, um any

301
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: anything on the any other teams at West. I mean,

302
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: you know what, you could say that, but when Philly

303
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: has their three guys all when Maxi's right, you know,

304
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Hardens hard but in beads and beat, So they're gonna

305
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: they have to have a healthy respect for Philly. Hardens

306
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Harden but in beads and bed. Yeah, Like, that's just

307
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: so much knowledge of the NBA tied up in that. Yeah. Um,

308
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: in the West, No, uh no, not really. I mean

309
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: I think Boston has the horses to go with anybody.

310
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: They're deep, they have a lot of sighs, and the

311
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: wings their range e, they have shooting. You know, once

312
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Rob comes back, they're gonna have you know, him and

313
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: al Man in the middle. You know, I think maybe

314
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Boston needs one more like Josh Richardson would be great,

315
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: another wing to guard kind of defender off the bench.

316
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. Yeah, all right, Well,

317
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about the hottest team out west, right, let's

318
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, the Pelicans. Yeah, nine and one over

319
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: the last ten as of this recording, twelve and three

320
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: in the last fift team. Yeah, Zion is playing angry.

321
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: We haven't really seen Zion we we we we We've

322
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: seen him play like he was just for for the

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: first part of the season. He was just like excited

324
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: to be back out to the point that like it

325
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: was the first time I've seen a player just play

326
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: with a giant smile plaster on their face for an

327
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: entire NBA basketball game. That Son's game, though, he's he

328
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: was villain. Yeah. The dunks. The dunks alone, I mean,

329
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: turn over this one in the fourth quarter, second chance points. Yeah,

330
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of in this match, a lot of

331
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: people feeling what Zion was about to do again, another one,

332
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: Zion ceiling, Zion slamming, stole it with two hands, and

333
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: then get out the way, sir. The controversial one where

334
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: they were mad because the game was over. You know,

335
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: do you know you guys remember when Chris Paul a

336
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, we're playing against Portlands and they

337
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: were up and the game was over, and he went

338
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: to the layup as pets Budgers and Dame said something

339
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: to him and he had that little what what I

340
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: do look in his face. Yeah, you don't want dunking

341
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: points in them? Yeah, Chris Paul will try to make

342
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: a lap right before that. That's going to read exactly

343
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: got the ball game was over because you tried it.

344
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: It's like I wouldn't have done anything if you hadn't,

345
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: but I guess here's the deal. And again I love

346
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: it because at the end of the game, you know

347
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: they're going, like, if the ball gets designed, you're Antonio

348
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Daniels on the play on the play call going oh no.

349
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: It's my favorite part of the clip. He's like, don't

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: do well, don't do it. So Zion. Seven seconds left,

351
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Chris Paul comes down, misses a layup, the the Pelicans

352
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: are up nine, is the game's over, and and then

353
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: Zion just kind of leaks out just here. He goes, no, no,

354
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: and he hit the three sixty windmill, three sixty win. No.

355
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: It was very similar to the Vince Carter dunk that

356
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: opened the most legendary dunk contest performance, except Zion's left handed,

357
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: so he's in that direction and he feels like he's

358
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: gonna do with the reverse the way Vince Card did it.

359
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: But then he brings up with the left hand again

360
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: just to hear the please of no, no, no. That's

361
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: my favorite because he knows they're like, we know Cleveland

362
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: a family guy. When Cleveland's house gets blowing up and

363
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: he falls out the bathtub. No no, no, no, no,

364
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: just one more time, please again. It's more than the

365
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: it's like the setup of him. It's basically, do not

366
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: unleash the power of the crystals. It feels like a

367
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: scene in like a sci fi film of like do

368
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: not unleash the power. I love that. And then Zion

369
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: like the bench is completely turned up, and I just

370
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: like for him, he was almost like that wasn't the

371
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: entertain y'all, Like, I'm letting people know right now where

372
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm at and he's playing D. He's playing D the Pelican.

373
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: When you look at the defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency,

374
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: they are top four in both categories, which that's that's dangerous.

375
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: And Herb Jones out brandon ingram Out out, Yeah they're deep.

376
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about them before the season, but seeing

377
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: what they're doing now with ingram Out and Herb Jones out,

378
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: knowing that they're gonna get two players that caliber back again, UM,

379
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: teams only go far as their stars, and Zion has

380
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: proved himself to be a superstar. You know, I think

381
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: about the end the season, we're gonna talk about him

382
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: in the top you know, obviously top ten, top five,

383
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: top whatever, somewhere in there, he's that kind of game

384
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: changing player. Um. And then with a guy like c J,

385
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: they got a couple of shooters, Um Alvarez, that's his name, right,

386
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: Alvrez Alvarado. So he's a he's a great player, he's

387
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: a good bench. He's there. They got, they got role players,

388
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: they got the stars. They have everything you need. I

389
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know if they have enough shooting, you know what

390
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean? When they get to play the elite of

391
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: the elite, and teams just build a wall around Zion.

392
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: But that's where you got Ingram right them. Yeah. My

393
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: only thing is we all know teams usually go as

394
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: a progression, right right, and this is gonna be their

395
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: first year really with with Zion. So if they can

396
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: make it to the conference finals, would be amazing. Um,

397
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: if they make the finals, would be amazing. But we

398
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: all know that's not how how it kind of goes.

399
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: So yeah, it would be interesting to see. But I mean,

400
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at them in like Memphis, so we're just

401
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: saying perform like pretty soon that's gonna be the Western

402
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Conference finals. Warriors are in there in their last you know,

403
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: in the kind of twilight here of being a super

404
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: elite team. So it's interesting. Just I always checking with

405
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: five thirty eight because they're right about everything and the

406
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: politics and everything. But one thing they did get right

407
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 1: I remember last year, so they have their this is

408
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: like Nate Silver's analytics thing. And last year I remember

409
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: just watching when the Celtics were like eighteen and twenty.

410
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: They had the Celtics near the top for like most

411
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: likely to win the title. I was like, oh, their

412
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: models broken. And then I watched a couple of Celtics

413
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: games and I was like, oh, maybe their model is

414
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: not broken. And then by the time like they had one,

415
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, like five in a row, they were heading

416
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: shoulders above everybody else. Um, they're actually like less a

417
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: favorite this season than they were last season, but they're

418
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: still like they have them as chance to win the finals.

419
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: The Grizzlies are next at then the Bucks, then the

420
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: Sixers for some reason, uh Sons, but like the Pelicans

421
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: aren't aren't anywhere near the top. I mean I guess

422
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: they're like eight. Yeah, yeah, So should we take a

423
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: quick break and then come back since we had a

424
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: big chunky first, take a big chunky first, big chunky

425
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: buttery first. All right, let's take a quick break, we'll

426
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: come back. We'll come back with our mad boost these

427
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: underrated performers of the week and some players and performances

428
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: that blew us away. And we're back. And this is

429
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: the segment Matt Boosti's Underrated Performance of the Week, where

430
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: Miles and I completely without any assistance from super producer Jabari. No,

431
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: not true, Jabari uh goes through all the performance of

432
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: the week. Jabari knows all he sees. Otherwise I will

433
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: just keep bringing up Austin Reeves and that doesn't there's

434
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: actually twenty lines of Austin Reeves copy here that Jabbar

435
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: just put a line through, even the one when I said,

436
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: well he got a haircut. That's what we're talking about,

437
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: right Nope, Okay, all right, so we we haven't talked

438
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: about yet. But the Lakers and the Sixers played and

439
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: it was a sloppy affair. But Austin Reeves was one

440
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: of the most fun and like I mean, he had

441
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: a really good game, but he he was putting it

442
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: together and one of the four people I was most

443
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: scared of on on the Lakers side. Okay, I think

444
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: you're just saying this because the Lakers and the Celtics

445
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: play tonight, and we've already said off Mike that the

446
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Lakers are probably gonna get absolutely tossed, because I was

447
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna actually ask you see, we're trying to

448
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: talk about underrated performers. But James, like, with the loss,

449
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: the two losses, right, you feel like the Celtics got

450
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: it like they don't want to lose three in a row,

451
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it feels like a

452
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: good emotional emotional dimension, you know what I mean. But

453
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Because in my mind, I'm like,

454
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: oh no, they got someone to prove and we played

455
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: them tonight. So every year, this is the first time

456
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: Tatum came out so smoking hot, But the last couple

457
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: of games he's he only starts off really slow, and

458
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: so I'm not super shocked. I'm wonder if he's gonna

459
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: go through a swoon. Um again, he's been pressing. He's

460
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: like trying, trying a little too hard. So it would

461
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: be nice if be kind of relaxed. This game that

462
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: came out. I don't have a good feeling about it. Um.

463
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Oh so we well we have that in common city.

464
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: Adversity hits every team, right, you know, Boston was on

465
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: a tremendous swell and the upswing all season. This might

466
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: be part of a dip. You know, I'm not saying

467
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose eight, right right right, but they looked

468
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: I mean what they scored like ninety three points of

469
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: the night, you know what I mean? Like that's I

470
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I don't have the greatest feeling.

471
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: I could be a little pestimistic too, Even though I

472
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: said'm a pragmatic fan, I could know the same. That's

473
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: how I deal with it too. Yeah, just because expectation

474
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: is the mother of suffering. I just completely throw all

475
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: my expectations out the window. So that's how I protect

476
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: my ego. Funnily enough, when I didn't think the team

477
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 1: was a contender, it was so much more fun watching.

478
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: And then last year in the playoffs, I was like,

479
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, had an indigestion a little bit because yeah,

480
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: why so, Yeah, when when you're at the when you're

481
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: actually on top of the league, it's it's a lot

482
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: harder as a fan, right right right. The hardest playoffs

483
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: for me was when the Sixers had Jimmy Butler and

484
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: I did feel like they were a contender. If they

485
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: could get by. Yeah, like I really was. That was

486
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: the hard That was the most painful one. Yeah. I

487
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody remembers how that ended anyways. Underrated

488
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: Performers of the Week. A. J. Griffin out of Duke

489
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: Blue Devils has made two game winners this season. Which

490
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty uncommon for rookies. We've seen that a

491
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: lot this season. Actually, I don't want to remind anybody

492
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: about you know, what happened between the Pacers and the Lakers,

493
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: but thanks. He is just the second rookie if you

494
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: ever have multiple game winners, joining Tony Ku coach. Wow. Yeah, okay,

495
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: that's not that's a recent good company there, I guess

496
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: ye Kelly Ubre eight or more and four of the

497
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: last eight games. But I want to talk about Bogdanovitch's

498
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: last two games off the bench for Atlanta. Twenty nine

499
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: point five points off the bench, seventy two point two

500
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: true shooting percentage threes in two games. Remember thirty eight

501
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. Yeah, twenty two and the third quarter

502
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: when he is locked in, he's got he's got that

503
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: like a and hm that like you know you just

504
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: want once he's locked in, it's it's over, it's target practice,

505
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: and it's NBA Jim, He's on fire type territory. Could

506
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: you imagine if the Bucks had got him like they

507
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: were supposed to. Yeah, that would be ugly, that crazy,

508
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: That would have been a problem. Hey, speaking of a problem,

509
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: Joel embiid is a problem. We're moving on to our

510
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: players and performances that blewest away. I'll let you guys

511
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: talk about and bead putting up and twelve. Hey, Jack,

512
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: this is the question I see. There was a there's

513
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: like a meme going on in like Sixers Twitter talking

514
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: about like the sort of inevitable cycle of how the

515
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: sixer seasons go. Starts off, Sixers look underwhelming, then in

516
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: bad goes god mode, Sixers look dangerous, then Team Shortcoming

517
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: start to show up. Then GM trades for somebody, then

518
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: in beads supporting cast lets him down in the Sixers

519
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: losing the second round, off season moves bolster, hope and repeat. Yeah,

520
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: they forgot about the part where and beats face gets

521
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: broken in there somewhere. That's happened a couple of times

522
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: for some reason, just like you know, the largest most

523
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: indestructible force. You know, we're always worried about his feet

524
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: or his knees, and his face always gets broken and

525
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: just random accidents. But yeah, that's about right right now.

526
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: The cynical Sixers fans are like, we're right now and

527
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: in Beagles god mode. Yeah, and now everyone's like, but

528
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: what's the next move? Where the shortcoming? He start to shop?

529
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I feel like if Harden

530
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: Stay is healthy and Maxie comes back looking good, I

531
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: feel like I wouldn't be too. I would say you'd

532
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: get out of the second round. Out of the second

533
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: round is the Eastern Conference finals. I don't I don't

534
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: know about that. That's a big about hard in his health. Man. Look,

535
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm trying. I'm trying my best to give positivity

536
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: out here right now. Harden did in that same game

537
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: where MB went fifty three and twelve, had nineteen points,

538
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: sixteen assists, nine rebounds. So my question about the seventies

539
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: Sixers is they didn't have enough last season, and then

540
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: they didn't add anything. They didn't like make a coaching

541
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: change or anything this offseason. I mean, they had they had.

542
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: I guess that I shouldn't say that. They added the

543
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: guy from Memphis whose name is escaping me. Who's who's

544
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: been really good? But yeah, Melton, Melton has been really good,

545
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: but just watching them doesn't feel like, Okay, they've gotten

546
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: over that hump and their different team than the team

547
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: that can't make it out of the second round. So like,

548
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: that's that's my question. And he wasn't got mode last

549
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: season two? You know, um so is it enough? Like

550
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: did did Harden take it up enough? It hasn't looked

551
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: that way to me yet. I don't think. I think

552
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: Will Max is a boardline All Star when he's healthy

553
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: and he's cooking. So that yeah, that even though you

554
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't really, like you said, add much him his game

555
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: taking elape is adding something, you know. Yeah, I'm hoping so.

556
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: And it's been tough to tell because he's been hurt

557
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: right right, but he looked. My thing is I wonder

558
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: if p J. Tucker washed a lot. He looks he's

559
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: averaging like three points yet in like thirty minutes cardios.

560
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: That'd be my one concern. He playing with an Apple

561
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: Watch on it keeps checking it when he gets to

562
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: Melton is really good. It does feel like they need

563
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: to make some changes rotationally to get more melting maybe

564
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: less p J. Yeah, I don't know. I think they

565
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: were so much expecting Bible to kind of pop, right,

566
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: and he's just he's done something. He's he's something. Yeah,

567
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: he's just too I don't know, you can't do anything

568
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: on offense. Triple J had fifteen points, seven boards and uh,

569
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: let me see eight blocks and win over the Hawks.

570
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: Tis Jones filling in for job with twenty two and

571
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: eleven assists. Can they lose? Are they? Yea? The Pelicans

572
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: are exciting now, but like the Grizzlies have that experience,

573
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: right yeah, and no Desmon Bin too, You're like, yeah, yeah,

574
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: they're they're deep. Bins is playing a lot like an

575
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: All Star this year too. Um, Like said Triple J.

576
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: He made a mood to other night. He uh, he

577
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: drove from from the wing to the room and it

578
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: hit a little like a low runner and he just

579
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: guys were bouncing off him like he started. His body's

580
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: filling out. He looks big and strong. So um yeah, man,

581
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: it's they're they're dangerous and they're they're deep. But I

582
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I think the Celtics depth might have him

583
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, the West is interesting because

584
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: it does feel like Memphis and New Orleans are the

585
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: two most exciting teams right now. In Memphis, I think

586
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: has one of the best city jerseys. So you know,

587
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: everything that chrome except for the gritty. I think the

588
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: gritty is the stupid dance. Oh sorry, Memphinians. Memphinians, that's correct. Uh.

589
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: Kauai put up his first pointing point game of the

590
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: season nine and six versus the Celtics. Uh. That's his

591
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: first game in over five hundred days. Miss him. Marcus Smart,

592
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, whoever, didn't matter. He was stuck on automatic.

593
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: And even the TV announcer, the Clippers guy, was like, yeah,

594
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's downloading his second half software and yep,

595
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: he went to work. Did you see his interview after

596
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: the fact where he was like, I'm just like focused

597
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: on the postseason, Like this doesn't matter, This is like

598
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: boring essentially. You gotta love it though, right, that's what

599
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: they brought him in, Paul George for. They don't care

600
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: about the regular tees stuff like, hey, I get to

601
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: the postseason, man, are you thinking the Clippers want me

602
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: to playoffs? No? I mean I don't know. You don't

603
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: want to be in the seventh place. Heading into the postseason,

604
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Tatum said the same thing. Over the day. He goes, hey,

605
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: all this is cool. It doesn't matter if we don't

606
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: we don't hang a banner, you know, I mean yeah, no,

607
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: I mean yeah for sure, Which that kind of sucks

608
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: though as a fan, I love the journey and I

609
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: don't want to have that feeling where I'm like, they

610
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: don't win. If they don't win at all, this is

611
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: none of this matter. Watching Jaylen Brown be awesome is incredible.

612
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: Watching Smart when deepoy is incredible. So I love that

613
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah. Man. Then Dame that game against

614
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: the Wolves, like disrespected that first half. I think he

615
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: had eight threes in the first half. Threes in the

616
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: first half. Love it. It was, Oh man, I just

617
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: love when you're like, make him do anything about this,

618
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 1: no matter how hard you try. And it's like the

619
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: second he knew is like, I think I've reached the

620
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: point where I have just enough space to get this

621
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: shot off. He was taking it and even when he

622
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: didn't have enough space, it was just like I'd like

623
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: to shoot, like writing your face, Yeah, let me just suggest,

624
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: let me just give me a little space. Okay, there

625
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: you go. Here now you're next year's upper deck card.

626
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: And then sails Just Alexander three three assists, three steals

627
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: against Luca only at thirty eight, but I think they

628
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: lost that game. And then ultimately, yeah, I'm curious, is

629
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: there any chance Shakil Just Alexander could ever start the

630
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: All Star Game? Starters is based on voting, right yeah, well,

631
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: oh right, right right, But it's because I know Charles Barkley.

632
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been like lobbying for him heavy.

633
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: But I just think, like when you look at how

634
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: he's playing, like clearly he's going to be in the

635
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: All Star Game. But I'm just like, is there like

636
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: another level of I don't know, um presence or like

637
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: having more fans like attention or something could change that,

638
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: or just like like you're gonna get on the team,

639
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: but it'll take a while to the fans about you.

640
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they start winning in a couple of years, right,

641
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: the Thunder make at least a playoff run, and they're

642
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: on national TV a little more because he's great. Yeah,

643
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: that's that's what sucks. The casual fans, don't They only

644
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: see him once and like, oh that guy was pretty good.

645
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: When they got him and to seven ft two plus

646
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: guys in the middle. If if they get Wendy, then

647
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: I feel like people start paying attention. Oh yeah, that's

648
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna be It'll be three seven plus guys because they

649
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: then have Poku and then have Jet Please. I just

650
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: want to see that. Yeah. By the way, I like

651
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: you said, Luca only had thirty eight kind of season

652
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: he's having. I know, I just like to, you know, comparatively.

653
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be like, look, and he did

654
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: four points better, but yeah, he's also incredible freak that

655
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: will not be stopped. Um and then Lebron still doing

656
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: it and a D had thirty four fifteen and seven assists,

657
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: but I don't know, Man's got a D in foul trouble.

658
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: That's the only reason they were able to, you know,

659
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: dominate the way they did. And even then the game

660
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: went to over time because they just tried desperately to

661
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: give it away so hard, Like they that lead quick

662
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: they were nine I think with thirty something seconds something.

663
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: It was like that pretty all that just completely throw

664
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: it away. It was a very different experience on my side.

665
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean again, I think for me, I'm

666
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: I will look closely at this game tonight. Um, as

667
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: you hear this episode, you will already know what happened

668
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: between the Celtics and the Lakers. But that is one

669
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: I want to feel good about. But part of me

670
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: just feels like there's the emotional momentum may swing the

671
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: other way. So the lebron gonna get the scoring record

672
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: this season? Yeah? Right, like soon? Ysh right, he's eight

673
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: hundred points away. I did the math. He only has

674
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: an average like sixteen points a game over season, So

675
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get it somewhere February maybe anywhere. Exciting. Alright,

676
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: should we take one more break? I think we should.

677
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: It warmed up? Oh yeah, let me just get warmed

678
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: up for this next sea and we're back and it's time,

679
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: amazing brother, amazing brother, for James Hollis to get into

680
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: the hot seat. This is the rapid Fire round of questioning.

681
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Let's ask this question segment. Let's go so anti clematic

682
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: that it ends with round of questioning. Yeah. I love that,

683
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, because you gotta you want to be technically,

684
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: I could be too concise with the name rapid fire.

685
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no. We'll give people a chance

686
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: to catch their breath exactly because you're not like you're

687
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: not make you spit the rap God verse from Eminem

688
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: or something like that, kind of rapid fire or maybe

689
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: something from Big Pun. But no, we're talking about these questions.

690
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: I will come very quickly now, James, We're gonna ask

691
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: you a question. Just respond, just react, don't think too much,

692
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: don't give it exactly, don't give long answers. And if

693
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: we start, you know, bloviating and start you know, giving

694
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: art to just just cut it off and keep it

695
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: going because at the end of the day, this is

696
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: the fact keeping us. Swing a sword at a four

697
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: door four swing whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. So that was

698
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: that the Whole Foods the other day, this is this

699
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: is on topic the other day and they had in

700
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: the magazine rack of magazine that was just called Eminem

701
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: and it was a picture of Eminem on it and

702
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: it's the greatest rapper a life. It's like, Yo, what's

703
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: going on with the Whole Foods client? That's his manager

704
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: who did that, because you know he doesn't use the

705
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: internet right right, because they probably were like, Yo, go

706
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: to your news stand and tell me if you're still

707
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: popping Marshall and then I've been a great guy. Gift

708
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: to you guys. Yeah, all right, here we go, start

709
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: the clock. Um, don't now no no knees weak, arms

710
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: are heavy. Mom spaghetti Jack, would you like to go first? Uh? Yeah,

711
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: Mom spaghetti. Indeed, you know the rules we play. It's

712
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: moms spaghetti, so you're going to play mom spaghetti rules.

713
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: So uh uh James contender or pretender? All right, uh

714
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna give you some some teams here. Denver

715
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: currently has the seventh ring defense and find themselves in

716
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack in a crowd of Western

717
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: Conference Contender or pretender, pretender's pretender. They just don't have.

718
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: The defense has been horrible. Their backup center is the

719
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: corpse of DeAndre Jordan's pretender d j K. How about

720
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: this out there doing it in the high altitude, you know, yeah,

721
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: good for him. I'm just amazed that he can, you know,

722
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: keep that many steps and no no break. Their congratulations, sir.

723
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: Next one, Brooklyn is seventeen and twelve, winners of nine

724
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: out of ten and finally looks like a team many

725
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: people anticipated contenders or pretenders. I have to go if

726
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I got the quick pretenders only because the Bucks are there,

727
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: the Celtics are They're both those teams are deeper and

728
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: more disciplined, and right now the Nets I still don't

729
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: trust Ben Simmons, mhm, Really what do you trust about? Yeah?

730
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: What is it about? Might not take a shot in

731
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: the dark? Depending that come back to that one. Alright, Minnesota,

732
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 1: uh thirteen and fourteen? Not quite off to the start

733
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: they would have, like, given how much they swing for

734
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: the fences this past summer. You know, they're having a

735
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: little trouble because they've had to move Cat out to

736
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: the perimeter, out to the fourth spot, which want where

737
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: it wants to be, but it also doesn't he he

738
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: doesn't have the matchup that like allows him to, you know,

739
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: be the best shooting center of all time and therefore,

740
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, draw the center out. So are they a

741
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: contender pretender? They are an ab laughing stop And I

742
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: love it. As the original Rudy Gobert hater, I love

743
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: every minute of it. They told me he was elite,

744
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: he was top fifteen, They told me he was a superstar.

745
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: That roster is a is a total travesty. They're ruining

746
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 1: our our boy, Anthony. What's his name Edwards and Wards.

747
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: They did a terror job building around him. They should

748
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: trade cat as soon as possible. They are a pretender,

749
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: they're frauds. When did they go wrong? Do you think

750
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: because they felt like, yeah, like if without that, it

751
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: felt like we were on a trajectory there with I mean,

752
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: they should train for traded for Donovan Mitchell, we should

753
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: trade it for Is that a warning tale? Two teams

754
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: like the Pelicans in Memphis who were just thinking like, well,

755
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we start doing stuff or do you

756
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: just kind of like hold on, let this thing paying

757
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: big money for for centers, like you gotta stop paying

758
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: less unless they're Yokick or embiid and what are you doing?

759
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's very It's very much

760
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: a move I would have made. I thought it was

761
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: gonna work out, and it's move I would have made

762
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: because I was like, yeah, well they can't like defend anyone,

763
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: so you just put that guy back there and her

764
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: play on the perimeter and he's gonna stop everything. But

765
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: it just totally messes up all the things that are

766
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: gone else. It was a very bad idea that I

767
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: would have fallen. Four Because I'm dumb. I don't know.

768
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: If that was evident to you, it would be a

769
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: very bad GM. Next question, and you know, James, we

770
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: gotta keep this going. You know, I appreciate the answers,

771
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: but we have to keep moving. The next question is

772
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: you have the chance to win ten thousand dollars to

773
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: make a layup with each chance twenty five thousand dollars

774
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: to make five out of five free throws, or a

775
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to make at least four of five

776
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: room deep. Which challenge are you taking. I'm taking the

777
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: easy money and the layups. Uh. As I was to

778
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: keep it moving, okay, all right, I'll respect that. See

779
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: I would be so worried about missing the lamp and

780
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: then everybody would laugh at me. Each hand, I would go,

781
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: could I do a two hander for the left handed

782
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: because I'm not allowed. You gotta you gotta do a

783
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: full left de lay up. There's gonna be a judge there, Miles,

784
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: and going up on my right foot. Yeah, it's a

785
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: dribble up lay up. I can't. Oh, no, it's a

786
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: dribble up. No, No, you know, you gotta you gotta

787
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: pull up. I'm still taking that one over there. They

788
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: used to give me a panic attack when I was

789
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: playing like junior high basketball, doing the layup lines all

790
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: right from the left. I'm like, yo, come on, now,

791
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: do all this in front of people. Also, I like

792
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: making George mike In's name Ryan with the con that

793
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: was like, hey, look we like Rudy Goilbert and George

794
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: McConn over here. You know what I mean? Here are

795
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: big men around here. Is James, what'll be saying? Man,

796
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: we gotta keep the same moving. Man. I'm sorry, you

00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We love you, man, we love you,

798
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: but we gotta keep this moving. Please appreciate it. Appreciate it?

799
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 1: Um is this many? Yeah? All right? Okay, so all right, James,

800
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: it's a new rule. You know we we we like

801
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: to say new rule around here when we're doing our

802
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 1: rapid fire. What's a new rule you'd like to see

803
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: implemented or altered effective immediately? I would love to see

804
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: them go the international rule of the goaltending stuff was

805
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: the rim it's in play. I would love to see

806
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: the NBA do that. Is that because you just watched

807
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: the Redeemed team and you saw how fun that was.

808
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: I think every year I think because like it's stupid.

809
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: What's it hit the ring to be alive? And I

810
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: think about how many how many blocks the guy would average,

811
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, learned how to time and

812
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: knock him off the rim, got tip dunk so easy.

813
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: It just I think it'd be more entertaining. I like it. Yeah,

814
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: the Redeem Team documentary is fun, but just I just

815
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: finally watched it and it's a blast. I'll tune in

816
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: and check it out. But I mean, I remember watching

817
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: all that, reliving it, watching a live so I remember

818
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Ricky Rubio being a big part of that, and just

819
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: like how how good he was, even though he was

820
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: I think twelve at the time that that game was played,

821
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: and they don't mention his name one so I don't

822
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: think of a documentary, which is weird, but I respect

823
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: this saying about him. It's about America, it's about the

824
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: US of eight. Yeah, James, we have to keep it moving.

825
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: I was at man. Okay, fine, next question, James, you

826
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: know a thing or two about NBA Twitter. What's your

827
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: favorite NBA tweet or Twitter moment of all time. You're

828
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: not gonna get me and you're not gonna suck me in.

829
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: You're not gonna. I'm just asking him. That's I'm not

830
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: asking about anything because I'm just asking you for you,

831
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: as a person who enjoys the NBA and Twitter, what

832
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 1: is your favorite? It was probably seeing Steve Nash. Uh,

833
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: somebody was heckling him and he said, I'm the hardest

834
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 1: forty year old you know, Brody Mecula. That was pretty cool.

835
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, yeah, I just reply. So that's just a

836
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: one word way of now telling people to fight them.

837
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: It's I see people will at me all the time

838
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 1: or tag me and tweets all the time where somebody

839
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: is talking and one guy like, yeah, man to Mechla,

840

Speaker 1: meet me to Mechula. It's all the time, honored, and

841
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm proud to be part of the NBA Twitter lexicon.

842
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, we gotta tell people what what that is, right,

843
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if they don't know the ballad of snotty

00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: dripping and u AF, just do some digging on their own.

845
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: It's Uh, there's plenty of articles. Plenty of articles have

846
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: been written. When I reachet this out, I'll make sure

847
