00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,280

00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: another edition of What's Burning. Let's get right to it

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: with the week ahead, Jack. We got Nets and Sixers

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: this Wednesday. Top two teams in the East uh. Nets

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: have the second best half court offense in the league.

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: Seventy Sixers have the second best half court defense in

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: the league. Is this a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals? Yeah,

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: it could be. I mean both teams are finally getting healthy,

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody starting to get guys back UH and be starting

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: to get into floorid things. But this is gonna be

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: a good matchup to see how can they get ready

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: for him be coming in the playoffs, because they will

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: match up and beat has been a problem all year.

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: We know what the dynamics and the problems that Brooklyn

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: brain but and beat is gonna be a problem for

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: them not having that big man. And uh, I can't

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: wait to see how this game plays out. Yeah, I

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: mean if you remember last week, Um, you know, a

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: shorthanded Lakers lead with Andre Drummond. Uh. You know, I

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: think surprised the Nets, and to me, it wasn't that

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: big of a deal of a loss, but it just

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: showed that there's not much in the middle. Granted, uh,

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't think DeAndre Jordan played that game, but you

31
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: know he he was little boy and LaMarcus Aldrich all

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: night when his man down to the ground and doing

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: all all that kind of ship. So, um, definitely, if

34
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: Philly is gonna surpass the Nets to go to the finals,

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be because of EM beats. So this could

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: definitely be a preview. I'm excited to see this game.

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Next up, we have the Celtics and the Lakers, obviously

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: historical rivalry. You know, the Lakers are on a little

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: bit of a skid um beating Nets last week. Um,

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I think Lebron is a few weeks from being back.

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: I think eighties about a week from being back. Um,

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: Celtics are starting to pick it up in the seventh

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: spot in the Eastern Conference. What do you think about

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: this matchup? Um and Boston young boys, they're rolling right now,

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: They're playing well both They're starting to pick it up,

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: not just their stars, but as a whole team. Everybody's

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: starting to play that role, you know, guys that they're

48
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: really starting to pick it up. So it's gonna be

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: an interesting game. I just see them getting ready for

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Obviously, the Lakers are beat up, you know,

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: they still need their guys back. But the way the

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Boston is playing, I see Boston are coming out with

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: the victim right now because they're looking at the playoffs.

54
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: They can see it. They clear view. Yeah, this was

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: a one my one team comes second half that I

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: really thought would pick it up. Obviously, and it didn't

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: start off right away, but they are five and one

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: in April, and like you said, not only are the

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: stars finding the rhythm, but the team is finding the rhythm.

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to be important for this

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: team moving forward. Um, But these games are dangerous. These

62
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: are the kind of games where you don't see Lebron,

63
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: you don't see a d so you might not come

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: in with the right mindset. But then again, you did

65
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: point out these guys are gearing up towards for the

66
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: playoffs and they know every game counts. So um, I

67
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: think I got the Celtics in this one too. Uh.

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Continuing the week ahead, we have the Clippers versus the

69
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: Sixers on Friday, Kauai ANDPG Embiid and Simmons. Clippers won

70
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: the first battle without Embiid, but Tobias Harris had a

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: very nice game nine and nine. Uh, Jack, I think

72
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: we both feel these teams can make a long run

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: um in the playoffs. What do you think about this matchup?

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: That's a good matchup. I just think, you know, and

75
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Be just been a force this year. You know, he's

76
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: been dominant. Every team has been trying to figure out

77
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: how can they stop him or make adjustment to stop him,

78
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and they can't do it. And I I don't I

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: don't see the Clippers having an ast. Yes, yes they

80
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: added Boogie, but Boogie hasn't played. He has to get

81
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: in shape and he has to he has to get

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: actimated with that team, and that's not easy as people think. Uh,

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: he is a pro, he is a dominant force. He's

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: something they can use. But and b has been dominant

85
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: all year. Like you said, he's having the MVP year.

86
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: So I just I can see both of these teams

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: making a run. But I just see in this game

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: and be being a little bit too much for him. Yeah,

89
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, obviously excited that that Boogie got another run

90
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: with the Clips, and this is the matchup I wish

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: we could have got three years ago, maybe before Boogie

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: started getting all these injury problems, because to me, Boogie

93
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: was the number one center in the game before he

94
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: went down, and and be a lot of people had

95
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: em beat as the number one center. So I wish

96
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, this matchup is is a few years too late,

97
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: but I definitely think Boogie will help. He has to

98
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: get his feet under under him. Also like that, you know,

99
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: the master teaching the student type situation with Doc and

100
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: and T lou Obviously you know t louis you know,

101
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: mentored by Doc and Doc help him get his first job.

102
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: Now that both these guys have their new teams playing

103
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: really well, so this is gonna be a fun matchup.

104
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: And you know, as we mentioned, the playoffs are all

105
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: about who's hot at the right time. I could see

106
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: It's not crazy to think either one of these teams

107
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: to make the finals. Right rounding out the week, we

108
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: have the Jazz versus the Lakers on Saturday. Jazz still

109
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: have the best record in the league, but are only

110
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: a sixteen and eleven on road two at home dominant. Um,

111
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: we saw a shorthanded Lakers team going there and steal

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: one from the nets. What do you think about this

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Jazz Laker matchup? I just I just told you. I've

114
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: never been sold on Utah. I love I love Donovan

115
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Mitch He's one of my favorite players in the league.

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: And I know what the dynamic of planing in Utah,

117
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: how hard it is to win there. So they always

118
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: have good home records. But to be a great team,

119
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: to be a great playoff team, to be a championship team,

120
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: you have to win on the road, and they struggle

121
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: at doing that. And that's always been the knock on Utah. Yeah,

122
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: they're good at home, but they're not good on the road.

123
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: And um, even with Jargon Clarkson playing well, you know,

124
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: I just don't see this team going far and I

125
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: see these Lakers beating them again. What's weird to me

126
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: is having, you know, a bad road record, whether there's

127
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: really no reason to. You know, there's no crowds, there's

128
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: not the normal ship you have to you know, look

129
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: forward to while you're on the road, So it kind

130
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: of it's kind of weird to me, but I agree,

131
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, this is a team that kind of has

132
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to prove it still. Um, obviously they've been playing great

133
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: during the regular season. We're still in the regular season,

134
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: but you know, the playoffs are right around the corner.

135
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Can this team do it in the playoffs? So, um,

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: you know this is gonna be a fun matchup underhanded Uh,

137
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, obviously shorthanded Laker team. I'm gonna take Utah

138
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: in this game, but I'm not again, I'm not sold

139
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: on them in the playoffs. I'm gonna have to see

140
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: it end. In the week, we have the Celtics and

141
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Celtics currently in the seventh spot, Warriors currently

142
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: in the ten spot. Warriors suffered a big blow Wiseman

143
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: uh towards Meniscus, most likely out for the season. Jack,

144
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: do you see either one of these teams rising as

145
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: we stand there, both in the playoff play in situation

146
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: on both sides of their conferences. Yeah, I love both teams.

147
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: I love what Steff with what Steff has been able

148
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: to do all season, even within the injuries, he's been

149
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: leading the team and keeping the playoff playoff hopes high. Um,

150
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: But I just you know, they don't especially with the

151
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: young fellow going down. They just don't have enough to

152
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: say that they gonna make up some noise in the playoffs. Yeah,

153
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: they might get in, and they have Stephan Curry, but

154
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: to win in the playoffs and to go far, I

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: don't see it. I think Boston has a better chance

156
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: to go farther. They have a healthy team that stars

157
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: are starting to turn their corner. You know, they have

158
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: a complete team, and I think from the experience that

159
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: they have with having a healthy team, they could go

160
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: farther in the East. I don't see them coming out.

161
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: But like I said, who knows what could happen in

162
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: the seven game series? Yeah? Uh, you know, I think

163
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: obviously Lucier Wiseman is a big hit. Um. Like I said,

164
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: I don't even think they really expect to do much

165
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: this year. You know, as Draymond said a few weeks ago,

166
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: he's not excited about being in the fucking play in. Um.

167
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: I think they're a team if they make it they

168
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: can steal the game or two. But like you said,

169
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: I just don't think they have enough this season. Uh.

170
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: And again, I think the Celtics are a team. They

171
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: can get hot at the right time. They have a

172
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: lot of pieces. Uh you know they didn't they I

173
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: feel they need to show up that middle. UM. But

174
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I feel like they have enough pieces to make a

175
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: run there. They're there, battle tested, They've been to the

176
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: conference finals a few times now. So I think Boston

177
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: is a team that can definitely sneak up in the

178
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: standings and and give whoever they're playing in UM in

179
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: that first round, you know, a run for their money.

180
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I hopefully maybe they can get to six to get

181
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: out of that, you know, get away from Brooklyn and Philly. UM.

182
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Because outside of that, I think they're right there is

183
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: a is a top three team in the in the East.

184
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: If they're playing how they should be playing. Next up

185
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: on the Radar presented you by Draft Kings, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks,

186
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: and Blazers are all on pace to be within four

187
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: games or their preseason win total. Jack, we got some

188
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: over under here over under Lakers with fourty eight and

189
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: a half wins this year, I'm going on to too

190
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: many wins. They need to to complete that, and they

191
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: have been beat up off season. They got nineteen games left,

192
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: they need to win at least sixteen to reach their total,

193
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and I just don't see that happening. But again, if

194
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: this team is healthy going into the playoffs, to me,

195
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: they're still the favorites to come out of the West.

196
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: Next up the Los Angeles Clippers at forty seven and

197
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: a half. They're currently sitting on thirty seven wins with

198
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: seventeen to go over under they reach or surpass that

199
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: total over they want to, they want to have a

200
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: good field going to the playoffs. They gonna match the gas. Agreed,

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: I agreed, I definitely think they're going to get over that. Uh.

202
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Next up, Denver Nuggets forty four and a half. They're

203
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: currently sitting at thirty four wins with nine team games left,

204
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: similar situation as the Clippers. Do you see this team

205
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: hitting it? Yep? I go over again. All these are

206
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: playoff teams. These are teams that had great seasons last year.

207
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: They know how to turn it up to get going

208
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I agreed, agreed, I agree, They're they're

209
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna get over that too. Next up, Dallas Mavericks at

210
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: forty three and a half, currently have twenty nine wins

211
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: with twenty games left under. They've been just all over

212
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: the place all year. I just don't know what they're doing.

213
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: I love watching Luca, but now they weigh under. Yeah.

214
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I agree. This has been a very up and down,

215
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: unpredictable year uh for the MAVs, but I definitely don't

216
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: see them reaching that win total. Uh. Last, but not least,

217
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers. There's forty and a half. They're early sitting

218
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: on thirty one wins with nine team to go. This

219
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: is a guarantee over. This is a guarantee over. They're

220
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna this is one of those teams to find a

221
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: way to turn around. God, this team is starting to

222
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: get healthy and they want to make some noise in

223
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They would it's definitely over. This is a

224
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: team that's getting healthy at the right time. I definitely

225
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: agree they're gonna win over uh forty and a half games,

226
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: but this team has been battle tested. This is a

227
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: team no one's really talking about that's really gonna give

228
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: whoever they play in that that second round a run

229
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: for their money. Um, so I'm excited to see a

230
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: fully healthy Blazers what they can what they can do. Next,

231
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: up our favorite segment, fan questions. Here we go, Jack

232
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Richie underscore ten. What lower seed team can you see

233
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,479
Speaker 1: making a sneaky run if let loose in the playoffs?

234
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: We gotta talk. We're talking about Portland's that's always a

235
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: scary team. They got one of the clutch players in

236
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: the game. Like you said earlier, Man, they started to

237
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: get healthy, they're coming together. They got nor Pile. Now

238
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: I would have to go to Portland. Agreed, Agreed, Portland

239
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: is definitely that team in the West, and in the

240
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: East is Boston. Um. Like you said, this team has

241
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: been battle tested. They've been to the conference finals a

242
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: few times. Jason Tatum and and and uh Jathen Brown

243
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: or are making known that they're the best one of

244
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: the best young duels in the game. So I agree

245
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: Portlands in the West, Boston in the East. Next fan

246
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: question ed, been worked? What was the worst you've ever

247
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: got crossed up, dunked on, or embarrassed in the game?

248
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Pro or college. I think my ship we talked about

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: right when we're in Miami and I got who hit

250
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: me with the pump fake and I tripped over the

251
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: line and almost fell into the stand Marcus Banks. Marcus

252
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Banks is fast as that motherfucker was fast. But yeah,

253
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: that was probably mine. I got lucky, man. I think

254
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh kind of got me a little bit, but

255
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: I didn't really jump. I I was lucky to really

256
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: avoid anything nasty because I would just foul the motherfucker.

257
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: But I was lucky with that. Kobe got me. Oh

258
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: ho ho ho, my bad. I ain't mean to cut

259
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: you off. The worst I got crossed it was the

260
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: one time when I was guarding Code at the top

261
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: of the key with his jersey and his mouth and

262
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: he hit me with the left or right pull up

263
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: jump or he nailed that ship. But we won the game,

264
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: so fuck it. Resting picture. Uh I never nobody never

265
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: made me fall, but a I made me stumble when

266
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I was in Golden State trying to guard him, and uh,

267
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: I reached one time Joe Johnson and he kind of

268
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: spun me around. But it happens in the NBA, bro,

269
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: it happens. Come on, man, especially if you're a competitive

270
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: That's why it's it's it's crazy because I don't like anymore.

271
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: That that's why she think the scores are so high,

272
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: because now it's about being embarrassed and going viral. If

273
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: you get crossed, you get dunked on, you get whatever this,

274
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: you get whatever that, You're gonna become a meme. And

275
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: motherfucker's have too much pride to really go out there

276
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and try. And that's the one thing I don't like because,

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: like I said, if you're competing, you're gonna get dunked

278
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: on and you're gonna get cross That's just a part

279
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, next up at Donovan p If

280
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: you had to go on a twelve hour bus ride

281
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: to your next game, which five teammates are you taking

282
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: on the bus and why I'm taking my Uh, there's

283
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: no question with me. I'm taking you al Baron Monte

284
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: and if I had to take and if I take

285
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: another teammate from another team, I would take um Gerald Wallace.

286
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: So me, you, me, you b D al Monte and

287
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Jeral Wallace. That's the hell of a bus ride. I

288
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat all the other people, so I'm

289
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: just gonna so I'll do a different bus ride. I'll

290
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: do me. You see web k D and DeAndre Jordan's. Oh,

291
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: and my honorable mention would be Marquis Dangs. I gotta

292
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: have more quotes. My honorable mention is b d Did

293
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: you already know what he's bringing? That's care. If you

294
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: want him to entertain for the twelve hours, he will,

295
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: but I want to get a little bit asleep. That's

296
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: why he's a honorable mention, all right? At Peppy Underscore

297
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: Balance Underscore, Matt Bonds in retrospect, was the most chiefs incident.

298
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Good for your career? Is it common for NBA coaches

299
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: with such detrimental attitudes towards their players? Um, I definitely

300
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: think it was good for my career because really, at

301
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: that point in my career is at a crossroads. Um,

302
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: I was thinking about going to play football. I was

303
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: working out for football in the summertime as well. Had

304
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: some NFL teams are ready to give me a try out.

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: But in the back of my mind, just that that

306
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: ship kept burning, just his his his, the way he acted,

307
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: in the disrespect he showed towards me, So um yeah, no,

308
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: I definitely he was that one figure that drove me

309
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: to end up having a fourteen year career. So yeah,

310
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: obviously it's you already know how I feel about him,

311
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: but it was important. I think it's important to have

312
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: people like that in your life, to cross past the

313
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: doubt you or or or disrespect you to a point

314
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: where they almost got there. Ask people he didn't even know,

315
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: but you know, to kind of like that fire under

316
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: to light that fire under your ass um you know.

317
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's more coaches that are that are

318
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: weird like that. I mean, to me, what he what?

319
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: What used to bother? Because he used to get dogged

320
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: up by everyone on that team. I'm not even a

321
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of people used to talk craziest to him on

322
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: that team, but I was just too young to I

323
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: was just about to fight him. But I think what

324
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: it was with him was he was still caught up

325
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: trying to be a player, like thinking he was funny,

326
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: like he would say ship that he would and then

327
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: he was looking for people to laugh. And we're thinking, like,

328
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: you're the coach, you mean, coach the team, you know,

329
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: stop trying to be a player. So anyway to get

330
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: back to your question, Uh yeah, I definitely think it

331
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: was important. I appreciate him for that. And man, like

332
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I said, I got to make a cool little fourteen

333
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: year round. All right, next up, some next nigga. Where

334
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: do you consider managing Noble on the all time shooting

335
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: guard list? He was an exciting guard in the two thousand,

336
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: but seems like he doesn't get his just do. Uh

337
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: wanted the creator, the creator the euro stuff. He brought

338
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: that to the game. He's one of my favorite teammates.

339
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: I think, um the reason why I respect him not

340
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: only the way he played the game, and not because

341
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: how good he was, because the teammate he was. I

342
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: remember when we won the Western Conference finals when I

343
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: was in San Antonio. I was I really balled. I

344
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: really won that game for us, and I really didn't

345
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: get no credit because I wasn't the player, you know,

346
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't you know, one of the big names Steve Kerb,

347
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan. But sitting in the back of the locker

348
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: room Genoboli, I remember him coming over and Tim and

349
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: telling me, Bro, you deserved an MVP. You the reason

350
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: why he won his game. So not only was not

351
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: only was he great, he was a great teammate and

352
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: uh the creator of euro stuff. I think he needs

353
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: to be future Hall of FAMERUS, So he's gonna get

354
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: his just dude, let's dope, that's definitely yeah. Man. It

355
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: was a monster. Um. I mean you everyone in the

356
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: world know what the scouting port was. Don't let him

357
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: get to his left hand. But it didn't matter what

358
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: you did, he was going to get to that left hand.

359
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: And then early on he would dunk that bitch on you.

360
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: At the end, he was just nice finishing, but early

361
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: on he would back that ship up the half court

362
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: and come downhill with that screen, and to keep him

363
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: off that left hand was virtually impossible. Man. So I agree.

364
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: Future Hall of Famer NBA Champ, great teammate, definitely salute

365
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:19,080

00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: the time the Clippers weren't good. I wish I would

388
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: have been around a dude like who had practice habits

389
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: like Kobe early on. I'm thinking about all the time,

390
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: pulling up the Southwest ten o'clock practice, coming in thirty

391
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: like a bump, you know what I mean, wowing, But

392
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: touch on that like seeing, I mean, I'm sure you've

393
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: seen it right away. You got a chance play with him.

394
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: I came and play with you guys. What it was

395
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: like just being with him and seeing him. It was

396
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: his whole ship is different. He was trying to be

397
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: perfect on the court all the time, all the time,

398
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: even even doing this like his little shooting routine or whatever.

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, even if his footwork, even

400
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: if he's getting shots, he's doing in a certain way

401
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: where he just trying to be the best, trying to

402
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: get better at it and wasting no time for real.

403
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean that is it is incredible due you know

404
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: his work after in the morning, man, he was like

405
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: he was a thug at tending the morning. He was

406
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna it was straight up banging on brethics, man, like

407
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: my man, constant, take it easy. There was no such

408
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: thing though. It was all full steam of heath. I

409
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: learned from this dude, just about even just Droom was

410
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: watching them. Man, he said he was better than Mike.

411
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: I know he did. He thought it. But you gotta

412
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: understand his drop. It ain't too many dudes that played

413
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Oh that's playing ball right now. That's

414
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: black yo, and that really mean it. And they heart

415
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: like that's growing up right now, Like I'm gonna be

416
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: better than Lebron James, and that's where he chased his

417
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: whole life was to be just as good or mentioned

418
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan's as a teenager. I remember I was

419
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: important to him, he man. I was remember saying I

420
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: need to get six. I want to be able to

421
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: set the same table with Mike. His whole frame of mind,

422
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: his whole this dude had. First of all, forget about

423
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: the one. He had sixty three and Dallas had sixty

424
00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: one in the third quarter. Cold. You know how NBA practices,

425
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: He hit like ten fifteen straight in the practice. You

426
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: know they know to play. His focus is crazy coming

427
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: down the stretch, next step quick hitters. Gary Trent has

428
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: been on fire since he's been traded. Dropped forty four

429
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: on Saturday seventeen for nineteen from the field and only

430
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes. He's averaging nearly nineteen points a game

431
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: since being traded. Thoughts on this young kid, what do

432
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: you know? What? What? What stuck with me is what

433
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: he said the other day, something that we always speak on,

434
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: the feeling of being wanted. You want to you want

435
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: to work, you want to do your best when you're

436
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: working somewhere where you want it, you know what I mean.

437
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: And and Toronto wanted him. Uh, it's a new it's

438
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: a new breadth of life for him and the way

439
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: he's playing. He was having the same type of flashes Importland,

440
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: but being here the lightest greener, you know what I mean.

441
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: So so I'm I'm happy he's finding the home and

442
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: all the success he's doing. You know, the kid boughted

443
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: now he'show only belong in his league. Oh, I think

444
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about something else, So I

445
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: was talking about what he spoke on. Um, you know,

446
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: playing with such a talented team before from the standpoint

447
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: of having c J, having Dame, having Mellow, you know,

448
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: he's at the bottom of the list, kind of low

449
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: key as far as shots and getting attempts. And I

450
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect example of some of the young

451
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Laker players that got traded away earlier, the Julius Randall's,

452
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: the brandon Ingrams now that are putting up a bunch

453
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: of points. A lot of people don't understand on the

454
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: outside looking in a lot of your success that it

455
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: depends on your situation. Like you said, he was doing

456
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: it in flashes in Portland, but there was they were

457
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: just so loaded as far as on the offense event.

458
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: So he's going to Toronto now, you know where he's

459
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: one of the guys getting a lot of attempts and

460
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: ship he's making them. So definitely hats off to this kid.

461
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: UH player really well in Toronto, and I think it

462
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: was a really good trade and you know, both teams

463
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: were able to benefit uh immediately from the trades they made.

464
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: Next up, Memphis Grizzlies eight and five of their last thirteen,

465
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: but three of those losses came to the Jazz. Valatunit

466
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: is playing really well at about nineteen and a half

467
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: a game. UH. Memphis currently sits in the eighth position.

468
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll be able to hang on? I

469
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: hope so, man. I just I'm just excited with the

470
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: player that Ji has grown into. You know, he's such

471
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: a leader and he's been great for that for the

472
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: organization and for that team. I just want to see

473
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: them healthy. You know, Jack Jackson is still out and UM,

474
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: if they could get him back and get some other

475
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: pieces with this kid man this this team could really

476
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: make some noise in the Western Conference this year. I

477
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: don't see it happening, you know, with the with the injuries.

478
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: But I just love the player he's grown into, and

479
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: I would love to see him in the playoffs, to

480
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: watch him, to see what he could do. They definitely

481
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: missed Jaren Jackson, someone who was really, you know, kind

482
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: of a surprise to a lot of people. Um came

483
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: out the gates playing really well, versatile stretch for who's

484
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: been out for a while. But I agree Maran is

485
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: turning into a special player. UM. So well, they hanging

486
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: to the eight, They're definitely probably gonna be in a

487
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: playing scenario. I don't know if they're gonna be able

488
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: to hold onto it, but you know, a healthy team

489
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: with maybe a few more moves in these next two years,

490
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a you know, Memphis is gonna have

491
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: great basketball back in the city again. Uh. Last, but

492
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: not least unfortunately, Uh, Golden State Warriors first round pick

493
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: James Wiseman towards Meniscus uh and most likely is out

494
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the season. Jack how do you

495
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: feel like his rookie season went. It was going, It

496
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: was going pretty well. You know, barn injury. I mean,

497
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: he was banged up a lot this year. He has

498
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: to get stronger, He has to understand how physical this

499
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: NBA is. He missed his whole uh freshman year in college,

500
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: so he missed a lot of basketball, so he has

501
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: to get stronger. Nice sees what the NBA is like.

502
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: But from what I've seen from him, he's gonna be

503
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: a great problem. He's gonna help that team a lot. Yeah,

504
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: I really like this kid. I would say that his

505
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: rookie year was his success. He was throwing it he first,

506
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: they took their time putting him in. Then he was

507
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: throwing it to the fire and play well. And he's

508
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: I watched Golden State a lot. He's someone that that

509
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: they need. You know. Obviously, he's going to continue to

510
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: develop his offensive game. But he's long, he he protects

511
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,959
Speaker 1: the basket. He's a rim runner, he's a lob catcher,

512
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: he can step out of hit the fifteen footer. I'm

513
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: sure within the next two years he's gonna be shooting

514
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: threes um. So this was a great pickup for their team,

515
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be that because you've gotta think they've

516
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: never really had that center and any of their runs

517
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: because their teams have been so guard focused. But I

518
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: definitely think he's a perfect type big man to play

519
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: in that system with Stephen and Clay and Andre and

520
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the group. So obviously disappointed. But one

521
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: thing I'll say is, if you're gonna tear Ligam in

522
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: your need, the meniscus is the one you want to tear.

523
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: You don't ever want to tear nothing. But the meniscus

524
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: is the least likely that's gonna, you know, give you

525
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: long term effects, UM from tearing that. So I'm sure

526
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: he'll make a recovery and I'm looking for a big

527
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: second year out of this kid. Closing thoughts, uh, Jack

528
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: and I want to thank everybody for all their support. UM.
