00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,800

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: which starts on Tuesday. We've debated our favorite over unders

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to the win totals of all thirty teams.

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: We made our NBA Awards predictions yesterday. We ranked all

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: the teams across five tiers, from title contenders to lottery lads.

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: So if you haven't go check out those podcasts and

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: YouTube shows. But we're gonna wrap up our week of

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: season previews with some leftover burning questions. Let's do it. Yeah,

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: grab your machetes and played four steps down.

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Good. Yeah, it sounds like we're doing a preview for

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: the UFC. What do you like it? Bokanowskis going up,

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: going up a weight class.

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: So so leftover burning questions, a few of our favorites

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: that we usually do every preseason, and the first one

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: tray who will make their first NBA All Star Game?

44
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: Where are you going?

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: No one, No, don't do that. I just kidding skeets,

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: I was way off last year. You should probably take

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: the reins on this one. You nailed it last year.

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: You called three people, Yeah, who made their first All

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: Star Game and SGA who you had been saying for years. Unfortunately,

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: not for you the years that were covered by the

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: bet so I won that. Yeah, didn't win anything. Bragging

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: rights only who will make their first All Star Game

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: this season? I got three candidates for you, but the

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: first one I think is the most interesting, Victor webbin Yama.

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, is he gonna do it? It's definitely possible.

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: It's definitely possible. He's gonna be one of the five

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: most watched players in the league. I wonder if he

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: could get on the strength of the fan vote. I

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: guess it depends. I mean, the Spurs don't have the

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: biggest media operation around him. Obviously they're not the biggest

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: market out there either. But we've been getting hype for

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Victor wan Binyama for a year before they even even

63
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: got to the NBA. He's gonna have a chance. He's

64
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: gonna be a great defensive player and like he'll probably

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: be able to average twenty points a game just by

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: being the tallest guy out there and being by the

67
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: rim quite a bit. So I think I think it's

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: certainly possible.

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: He's on the list, but I don't have him at

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: the top.

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: He's not. He's not my number one choice. My number

72
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: one choice is Palo Bancaro. Oh Okay, I think he

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he was a Rookie of the Year last year,

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: twenty points per game. He could increase his scoring. I

75
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: think if the Magic are smart, they watched the Feboa

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: fourth place World Championship team and saw Palo Bancaro playing

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: at the small ball five, the way he was initiating

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: offense as a big guy, the way his passing has

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: come along, and just his size, Like I think he's

80
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: a surpriseazingly big guy. Like seeing him standing next to

81
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: Jokic at the finals last year, I'm like, these guys

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: are the same hight. Polo's pretty thick too, Like he's

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: not a skinny dude at all. So I think he's

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: already a really good player. I think the Magic will

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: be more competitive this year. He was taken out of

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: the running for an All Star Game last year by

87
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: being a rookie and by a five and twenty start

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: for the Magic. So if they're able to play five

89
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: hundred basketball for the first couple of months of the season.

90
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: I think Polo could definitely get tabbed great pick.

91
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: You know a couple other guys from that fourth place

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: team USA team that could be first time All Stars.

93
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: Jellen Brunson, who arguably should have been one last season.

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean I was going to bat for him over

95
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: his guy Julius Randall, his teammate there so he could

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: make it. And mckill Bridges obviously having a full season

97
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: now as the go to guy on the Brooklyn Nets.

98
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: I like them. I have them on my list, and

99
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: in the West, I like the Yama, but I have

100
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: him behind probably two or three guys in terms of

101
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: the likelihood in the Western Conference. Jamal Murray is still

102
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: somehow not an All Star. So I think of all

103
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: these guys, he has this weird thing where he doesn't

104
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: even need to like kill it because he's gonna have

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: the like the hangover, if you want to call it,

106
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: from winning a championship. So he just needs to play

107
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the Nuggets to be good, and he is going to

108
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of respect votes I think in that regard.

109
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: So I have Jamal Murray and then Desmond Bain, who

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: is my most improved player. Pick no John Morant for

111
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: the first twenty five games if they surprise people have

112
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a really good record without John Morant, and he is

113
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: their leading scorer, which he should be probably flirting with

114
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: twenty five twenty six points per game. I like his

115
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: case as well. And then I gotta throw some love

116
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: for like Austin Reeves. You talk about the LA market

117
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: him sort of as the third guy of course on

118
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: the Lakers behind Lebron nad. But he'll get some love,

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: he'll get some buzz, and he's a great player and

120
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: he probably will only get better. So there's a lot

121
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: of possibilities here. I mean, I even have a couple

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: other guys, But yeah, what do you think of all those?

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: I think it's great. I think Austin Reeves could start

124
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: an All Star Game at some point in his career.

125
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: The dude is a Laker and he's got a worldwide

126
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: reputation after the feb World Cup, so I think he's

127
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: definitely in the mix. I think Jamal Murray, like you're saying,

128
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: as long as he's healthy. Yeah, he punched his ticket

129
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: to the All Star Game in the final seal last

130
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: year twenty one to ten, who's saying Jamal Murray is

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: not an All Star? It just hasn't happened yet because

132
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: of the injuries.

133
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: The last guy I would throw into the mix, and

135
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 2: it's a little contingent on what happens with James Harden,

136
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 2: but I think Tyrese Maxey is a guy who should

137
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: be in the mix for an All Star Game this year.

138
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: You heard Himbiids say in the preseason if he's our

139
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: lead guard, I'm gonna get him to the All Star team.

140
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: And an easy way to rack up assists is by

141
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 2: being Joel Embid's pick and roll partner. I think Maxie

142
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: was about twenty four points per game in the games

143
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: that Harden didn't play last year. So if the Sixers

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: trade Harden or tell him to stay away from the

145
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: team until they figure something out, they give the keys

146
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: to Maxie, He's it definitely in the mix for yeah,

147
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: and then a.

148
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: Couple other young guys who you could see it happening

149
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: for Mobley with the Cavaliers being the only guy on

150
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: that team who has not been an All Star in

151
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: no Jared Allen before with the Nets, but obviously their

152
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: backcourt that's a possibility. Look because he you know, he

153
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: already has great numbers, and they could just continue to

154
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: go up, up, up, and they would win. Win. Froz

155
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Wagner another Ortlanto magic player possibility, and then maybe even

156
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes if the Raptors are actually you know, he's

157
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: got this lead role position, he could have some really

158
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: funky numbers I think, like in terms of filling the

159
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: box score, and they would have to win, and you

160
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: know he again, he would be on the depth chart

161
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: behind us. See, okham likely. So it's like, are the

162
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: Raptors gonna have two all Stars? No, but we've talked

163
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: about it before. There's only twenty four spots. No, there's

164
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: way more.

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: Pretty much.

166
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, there's twenty eight to thirty when you

167
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: start considering all the injuries and guys not wanting to

168
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: play and all that. So you somehow sneak in that way.

169
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, we named a lot of guys there. But

170
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: let's hear from everybody in the stream team, everybody listening later,

171
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: let us know at no dunkstinc on Twitter?

172
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: All right?

173
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Next one first player to score fifty points in a game.

174
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: You sort of called it last year. I mean, look,

175
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: you did you said Duel Embiid he did it. He

176
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: was on the first you know, the first night somebody

177
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: went for fifty. Happened to be with Darius Garland as well,

178
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: in two separate games, both going for fifty plus. So

179
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: who's doing it this year?

180
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: First, that's a great question I'm debating. Is it gonna

181
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: be Hoannis on to Takunpo or Dame Lillard? Oh? Okay,

182
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: I think they're both gonna do it at some point

183
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: this season. I mean, you've heard them both saying so

184
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: far in the preseason. I've never played with the guy

185
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: who gets double teamed like me, So for the other guy,

186
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be easy. Sometimes there will be teams that

187
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: decide we're taking the ball out of Dame's hand. We'll

188
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: make Giannis a scorer or a playmaker. Good luck, he

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: can get fifty. We've seen him do it in the

190
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: finals game.

191
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Dame.

192
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: Obviously, if you're not doubling him, he could just shoot

193
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: over the top. He's got deep deep range, gone over

194
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: fifty multiple multiple times. So uh, give me Yannis. I'll go.

195
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: Yannis get into the free throws.

196
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, game knocking them down a lot. I sort

197
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: of did the same thing. I look at the Phoenix

198
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: Suns and I go, Who's gonna do it first? Is

199
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: it gonna be Booker or Durant? I mean, I'm not

200
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: including really Beale, but I guess technically he could too.

201
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: We know he can get hot. But I'm gonna go

202
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: with Devin Booker again. I took him last year. He

203
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: wasn't first, but he was one of the first players.

204
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: He did it a couple of times, and he scored

205
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: like fifty plus in like very limited minutes in one

206
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: of the games against the Bulls, so he did. I'll

207
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: go Booker, but I want to throw some left to

208
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Pool too. I want him to do it in

209
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: the Wizard's first game. I want him to go for

210
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: it right away. He's already had a forty one burger

211
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: in the preseason. He will go for fifty. He will

212
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: have a fifty point game. I would assume at some

213
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: point he just will it come first or how soon

214
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: will it come? And how many? I guess, But anyone

215
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: else on your list and he dark horse picks.

216
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: My darkest horse is anthrety Simon's Oh I like it

217
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: career high of forty five. I think heading into this season.

218
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: He's had the opportunity, uh for sure. But he's a

219
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: high volume three point shooter and a good three point shooter,

220
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: and I think he's kind of even more gonna have

221
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: the ball with an opportunity to work. So I think

222
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: he goes over fifty at some point.

223
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: It was a great call. He's gonna he will have

224
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: a game where he hits ten threes. Yeah, it's possible.

225
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: There's there points right there. Obviously, you got to get

226
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: to the line a little bit. It's some jumpers and

227
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: maybe you're flirting with fifty. I had him on my list,

228
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: but we set a million guys as a potential first

229
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: time All Star. I mean, a lot of things would

230
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: have to break right. We think they'll be bad, so

231
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: that'll hurt him playing for the Blazers. But sometimes a

232
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: guy on a really bad team just has unbelievable stats

233
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: and gets selected, you know, by the coaches when you

234
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: get into like the final pick. So if he's putting

235
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: up the guy could score like twenty six, twenty seven,

236
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: twenty eight points per game, he really could. He's the

237
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: best player on the Blazers, then maybe, But I like

238
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: that pick for a first player to score fifty. All right,

239
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: we're moving with some pacer. I love this lottery team

240
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: from twenty two to twenty three with the best chance

241
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs. And before you answer, this is

242
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,479
Speaker 1: going to be difficult because you look at both conferences,

243
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: it's not easy to shake up the teams the order

244
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: in either conference, especially the East. You got the Bucks,

245
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: the Celtics, the Sixers, the Cavs, the Knicks, and the Heat,

246
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: all likely playoff teams, you know, obviously aspirations. That's six

247
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: near locks for eight playoff spots. We're also pretty confident

248
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: in the Hawks being one of those teams. Again, you know,

249
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: they came in by way of the play in, just

250
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: like the Heat. So that's seven retorneys. So wow, one

251
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: team maybe right In the West. Nuggets, Kings, Sons, Warriors, Clippers,

252
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Lakers sort of feel like near locks. And then the

253
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: Grizzlies are a big question mark, but we think they're in.

254
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: So that's seven as well. So who of all these

255
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: other teams do you think is most likely to get in?

256
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're saying I gotta get into the top eight.

257
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, not top ten or top six.

258
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: You've got to be confident even if they come in

259
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: through the play in that they get into the plane

260
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: and then they got to get in. But to me,

261
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs are those eight that ultimately are in their

262
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: first round series.

263
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, fair enough, if you put it that way.

264
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: I think I gotta go with the Dallas Mavericks. Okay,

265
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: they taked away the season last year, and they had

266
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: a huge trade at the trade deadline, And this was

267
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: a team that early in the season skeets before they

268
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: even did the Kyrie deal. You were talking about. They

269
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: don't have enough. They just do not have enough players.

270
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: Luca will wear down over the course of the season.

271
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: Then they traded for Kyrie Irving and had even fewer

272
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: players and could not figure out the crunch time offense.

273
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: And this is a team that played so many clutch

274
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: games last year. So I think they'll be better this year.

275
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: The team is a lot more coherent. They seem to

276
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: be deeper, though there's a lot of unproven guys, like

277
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: they're gonna probably be relying on two rookies to play

278
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: serious minutes, which could go either way. Usually is not great,

279
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: especially with a young guy like Derek Lively as a

280
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: center like that probably is not going to be a

281
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: successful short term experiment, I don't think, but I do

282
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: think the top end talent between Luca and Kyrie and

283
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: adding Grant Williams, like Grant Williams as a third best

284
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: player not great, but he's still a lot better than

285
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: the third best player they had last season. And a

286
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: professional guy who can actually play a little bit of defense.

287
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: I think they'll be a little bit better on that

288
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: side of the ball. And all it comes down to

289
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: is Kyrie and Luca figuring out how to play alongside

290
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: each other and putting up I don't know thirty in

291
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: Luca's case twenty five and Kyrie's chain case and then

292
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: hitting the important shots at the end of the game.

293
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: Okay, you're going to the Mavericks set solid. I'm going to

294
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: go with the Thunder, which is probably a pretty obvious pick.

295
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the youngest team in the league last season,

296
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: they're average age twenty three. And then what they do

297
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: this summer, well, they got more talent, young talent really.

298
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: Chet Holmgren obviously back from a foot injury. He's looked

299
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: incredible in preseason case and Wallace, I think, is going

300
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: to get some opportunity. Their high draft pick. They signed

301
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Mechich two time, your league MVP, you know who averaged

302
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: sixteen to five and those are actually pretty good numbers

303
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: when you look at overseas numbers in a shorter game

304
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: and all that. So more talent on an already good

305
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: squad that went forty and forty two last year with

306
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: probably SGA is still getting better obviously both of their

307
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams, Giddy Door. I mean, you just go on

308
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: and on and on. It feels like a forty five

309
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: win team. So they're probably in the playoffs, so I'll

310
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: pick them. But I wanted to get your thoughts on

311
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: something that Zilla wrote in his Good Morning It's Basketball

312
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: newsletter this morning. A great article, Well, what is the

313
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: standard for NBA disappointment? Like what we did yesterday? He

314
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: put them into tears. So it's like, like to give

315
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: you an idea, like the first tier is there's no

316
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: disappointment possible for the Blazers, the Wizards, and the Spurs.

317
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: And then he makes the case why and there's probably

318
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: some truth to that, like it really doesn't matter what

319
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: their record is at the end of it. And then

320
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: there's teams that would be disappointed in not being in

321
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the play in mix, the Hornets, the Pistons, the Nets,

322
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: the Jazz missing the play in the Magic, the Pacers,

323
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: the Rockets, so on like that. But he had Ziller

324
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: did as a disappointment season losing in the first round.

325
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: So win around or you're gonna be sad your Chicago Bulls. Yeah,

326
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, but much higher than some of the

327
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: other teams that we also had them lumped with be it,

328
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, my Raptors, the Mavericks, the Pelicans, the Hawks,

329
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: the thunder I just thought that was interesting that he

330
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: didn't have the Bulls with those ones. But when a

331
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: first round series or it's disappointment. What I'm getting at is, man,

332
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna disappoint it first round series, Bro,

333
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

334
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: I won't be disappointed. I don't anticipate the Bulls winning

335
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: a first round series. Who does literally nobody. I have

336
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: not seen one positive piece of Bulls preseason propaganda here, skeets.

337
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's expecting them to win a first

338
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: round playoffs series. I would say it's more of a

339
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: disappointment if the Hawks don't win a series.

340
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Yes, reatly, I mean, this is what I'm confused by

341
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: like in this this group, Ziller has the Calves. Of course, definitely,

342
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: they would be very sad if they didn't win a

343
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: first round series. The Knicks, Yes, they won one last

344
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: year they beat the Calves. They should do it again.

345
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: The Kings one hundred percent. You know now that they're

346
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: trying to become like obviously a reputable franchise here. Yeah,

347
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves. That makes sense. Yeah, you know, with the

348
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: construction of their max contracts and all that, and then yeah,

349
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: he's got the Bulls in there, so I thought, oh, interesting,

350
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I want to get your take on that.

351
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: But look, they do have three All Stars. Yeah, I

352
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: guess if you can pitch that as a disappointment, But

353
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: to me, they're them, the Hawks, the Raptor, they're all

354
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: the same team. Like, they've got some decent players who

355
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: are very highly paid, and none of them have more

356
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: than a winning around ceiling. And I don't even think

357
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: that's the case really for the Bulls and Raptors. Like

358
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: I think the Hawks could do it, but not those

359
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: other two teams.

360
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zilla writes about the Bulls. They've been quite static

361
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: and they need to justify what they are doing. That

362
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: means making the playoffs and doing something in them. In

363
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: Zilla's mind, otherwise it's time to pivot. So that's his thinking.

364
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: They're on that. Go check out. Good morning, it's pastball.

365
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: Awesome newsletter there from Ziller. All right, next question, who

366
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: is the team most likely to disappoint? Last season, we

367
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: sort of nailed this question. Task went with Zion and

368
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: the Pelicans. Okay, he played twenty nine games. I was disappointing.

369
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: You went with the Suns. You said they're on the

370
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: pathway to being stale, like they finished forty five and

371
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven. They make the big KD trade, but you

372
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: know they I thought that was okay, I'm not disappoint

373
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Maybe a little harsh, but whatever. And I went with

374
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: the Clippers because I was like, why are they talked

375
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: about as a number one seed in a championship contender?

376
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: It's silly. And they finished forty four and thirty eight

377
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: thirty eight. So we did pretty well last year. Let's

378
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: see if we can do it again. Which team is

379
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: most likely to disappoint?

380
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: It might be the Dallas Mavericks. Oh oh, it is

381
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: nerve wracking to pick the Mavericks to succeed because it

382
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: basically feels like it's gonna come down to can Luca

383
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: and Kyrie make shots at the end of the game,

384
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: Because though their defense may be a little bit improved

385
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: and the team has gotten better, like, they're not significantly

386
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: better than all these other teams that are in the

387
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: middle of the Western Conference. So it's not hard to

388
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: see the Mavericks staying where they were last season and

389
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: having a disappointing season finishing eleventh. That would be crushing disappointment.

390
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: After the Kyrie trade and then signing him to an extension,

391
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: that would be bad. Then. I mean, obviously you got

392
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: to include the Clippers and the Pelicans, like it's pretty

393
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: likely that they're guys their best players miss significant amounts

394
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: of time. Yeah, and that's a disappointment once again.

395
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Things just

396
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: go airable here. You have expectations, I mean expectations at

397
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: least to make the playoffs, to win a series, if not.

398
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: Two nurses in there now, obviously a new voice. You

399
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: do have the MVP, raigning MVP and embiid. Obviously they're

400
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: figuring out what to do with Harden. I mean, I

401
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: could just like they should be like no brain or

402
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: fifty wins team at least winning a playoff series at

403
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: least one. They struggle with the second one. But you

404
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: could also you could convince me things just go terribly

405
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: and you've got Embiid sort of sulking and and you

406
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: know they get off to a bad start and it's

407
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: just bad vibes all around. Like I could see that happening.

408
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: It's probably unlikely, So maybe to answer most likely that no,

409
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: they won't. But I don't know. They're on my little

410
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: list here. I just it could go bad really quickly.

411
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: I think it could go bad. But if Embiid wins

412
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: the scoring title again, he'll be happy, Like that's really

413
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: He'll be very happy with that. That's the thing. I

414
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: just don't have very many expectations. Even if they bring

415
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: Harden back. Do you have any faith in them doing

416
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: anything in the playoffs.

417
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: He's not coming back, No, exactly. No, No, he's not playing.

418
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: But I mean, I imagine James Harden like enjoyed the offseason,

419
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: he's still friends with Daryl Morey, comes back energized. Do

420
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: you think that's a championship team.

421
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, I agree. I'm just like I can't

422
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: wait for like Nick nurse to be calling out Duel

423
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Embiid like in the media, like, you know, three weeks

424
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: into the season, like that could happen. That could happen

425
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: any other teams, Like I mean, I guess like to

426
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: do what you just did. The Thunder could disappoint because

427
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: their expectations are sort of through the roof. They're sort

428
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: of in the boat now that some of us were

429
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: last year with the Kings. So we were like, ah,

430
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: this is the year they finally snapped the playoff drought.

431
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, they've got some stars there now, they got

432
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: a new coach and all that, and they lived up

433
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: to it. I mean, they lost in the first round,

434
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: but it took Curry scoring you know, fifty in a

435
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: game seven. Okay, But that's where the Thunders sort of

436
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: are now. They're like everyone's like, oh, yeah, that's I mean,

437
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: I just said it. They should be a playoff team.

438
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: They look like a playoff team. They've got an All

439
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: NBA guard, they're well coached, they're deep, all the other

440
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get better. But so that just sets

441
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: you up for disappointment. Unfortunately, if you don't beat the expectations.

442
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm also I mean, I can see the Suns

443
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: being a disappointing team. They've got three great players. They've

444
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: got a couple of good players in Nurkic, Eric Gordon

445
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: and Grayson Allen, and then they've got all of these

446
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: minimum contracts of people that you like, that you were

447
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: excited to see on a team. But guess what, every

448
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: one of those guys was let go by their team

449
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: and available for a minimum contract. They could all suck,

450
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: they could all be terrible. Kevin Durant could go down

451
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: with an injury, Devin Booker could go down with an injury,

452
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: and suddenly you're looking at a wizard's team. But it's

453
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: the Suns.

454
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean they're like, what's their goal here?

455
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Their goals to win championapionships. So yeah, I mean they

456
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: have to reach the top of the top here to

457
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: hit those goals. So yeah, you could you know, anything less?

458
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: Is it seen as a failure. Yeah. But there's a

459
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: lot of teams like that, right, Celtics, Nuggets, Warriors, probably

460
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: still Lakers, the Heater there, the Bucks of course, yeah,

461
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: and the Sun. That's a lot of teams that are like,

462
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: wein in a championship? Are you in a bad year?

463
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

464
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: That makes for a fun season. All right, final question here,

465
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: best and worst New City Edition jerseys that we know about.

466
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: They're not all out, some are just leaked, but we've

467
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: seen a lot of them at this point. Let's start

468
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: with the good ones.

469
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: They'll be quick.

470
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: There's not many, But what's your favorite New City Edition jersey?

471
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: I like the Timberwolves ten Thousand Lakes uniforms, these blue

472
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: and white swirly jobs that we saw in the middle

473
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: of the off season, like Minnesota is getting their rollout

474
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: game on early Yes, this is like June or July.

475
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: I feel like that we saw these. Then obviously they

476
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: got their inaugural uniforms as well. I'm not a huge

477
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: fan of like the Timberwolves general look right now, but

478
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: I think they did a good job with their throwback jerseys,

479
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: and then these I think look really really cool. I

480
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: think the look of them is definitely enhanced by being

481
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: against a stark white.

482
00:21:59,640 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

483
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: Dropping all the photos so we'll see what it looks

484
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: like when they're on the court, but I thought this

485
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: was a pretty unique look and I like the way

486
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: it plays back to a thing everybody knows about Minnesota,

487
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: the land of ten Thousand Lakes.

488
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: I like it. Those were good, and you're right, I

489
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: feel like we've known about those ones for long times. Yeah,

490
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: these ones are a little more new again. These are leaked.

491
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they're official, but the Sun's going with

492
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: the you know, Spanish version of the valley, and I

493
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: just love the color on these ones. I'm a big

494
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: purple fan, but I love these. I love the colors

495
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: down the side there sort of screams Taco Bell a

496
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: little bit like the Colorway in a good way though,

497
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: with that little sunset gradient there on the numbers. I'm

498
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: a fan of these. I think these are gonna look

499
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: really cool on the court as well. So I like

500
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: these ones.

501
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Sons have been smacking it with their yeah,

502
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: their second sets. Like last year, I was a little

503
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: looking sideways at the turquoise ones and then they got

504
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: on court. I was like, these look incredible. So yeah,

505
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: these are saucy Diablos saucy.

506
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: So now let's get to the worst ones. Like Kyle

507
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: Kuzma tweeted, Nike is ruining the nostalgia of jerseys. Every

508
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: year it's a new jersey, and what gets lost is

509
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: in brand identity. And I saw a dead Spin right,

510
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: the NBA City Edition uniforms that have been revealed so

511
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: far feel like Nike has quiet quit on the idea

512
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of like, what that's the

513
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: City Edition? Like it just feels like they came up

514
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: with it in what like ten seconds, Like yeah, that's fine,

515
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of them, or like.

516
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: They came up with twenty designs the first year and

517
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: all these ones got crossed off, but then they came

518
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: back to it, They're like, well we still.

519
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: Got they got to keep doing them.

520
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that's not great.

521
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: And that's the dumb part. You don't got to keep

522
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: doing them every year. They shouldn't. No, I think MLB

523
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: does it better with their connect you know, it's not

524
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: they don't do teams don't get them every year. No,

525
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty smart. Yeah. So anyway, of all the crappy

526
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: ones we've seen, which ones do you think are the worst?

527
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: I do like that Kyle Kuzma has his hair dyed

528
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: blonde with a kiss yes on it.

529
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like.

530
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: He's right, this guy's got a kiss died into his hair.

531
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: But he is completely right about the estacts of these jerseys.

532
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: Not the worst jersey. But my favorite jersey reveal is

533
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: there's a clip going on around of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

534
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm veiling their new jersey, and the timing of it

535
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: is just hilarious. Like as soon as uh, the curtain

536
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: drops on the mannequin, guy's like, oh that sucks. It's

537
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: like as the music is building, there's just kind of

538
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: mid it says the land on It looks okay. But

539
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 2: my worst is the Miami Heat Heat Culture jerseys. They

540
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: just put the word culture on their jersey. Oh it

541
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: just looks so bad.

542
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: It looks so bad.

543
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 2: Give me like a like a drop shadow on the

544
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: red number or something, so it looks weird.

545
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: And the most ironic part about you picking the Heat

546
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: as the worst is you know they got really all

547
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: of this started back in the day with their City

548
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: edition Vice jerseys.

549
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, like those were good and.

550
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: Incredible, and you know they had the variations and all that.

551
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: But also, why does this photo taking it on like

552
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: a Chicago Bulls rum? Who has this? I mean you

553
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: could have picked the Bulls too, for being.

554
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: Honest, it's underwhelming. I think they asked for the smallest

555
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: possible number on the front. Who the Bulls smaller. Actually, yeah,

556
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: so heat culture not a fan of those.

557
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: I'll go with the clips. These are fairly new, these

558
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: leak jerseys. Yeah, the Clippers were just going by clips

559
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: and just so you know they're a basketball team. There's

560
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: a little basketball on the eye there.

561
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: The basketball dot on the eye is too funny. Oh god,

562
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: that looks like an NBA paint.

563
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: It looks like something chips a Hoy's logo to me too.

564
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: Okay, clips a hoy is pretty good.

565
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Boat clips ahoy.

566
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: You could easily change that to a chocolate chip cookie. Yeah,

567
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 2: basketball the exact same.

568
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Maybe NBA paint can get on that.

569
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: I like it.

570
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: So many bad ones. I I don't like the look

571
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: of these raptors ones that have been leaked, like the gold.

572
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: They looked like a little barfy gold to me. Maybe

573
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: they'll look better, I don't know. There's h town for

574
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: the Rockets. I don't know if you've seen that. I

575
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: saw that. Like a lot of them are just likeugh,

576
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: like why you're you know, you never want to be

577
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: left going why though? Why do we need these? We don't.

578
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: That's the part that stinks, And the thing, the thing

579
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: that I think is the worst about the program is

580
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: that when they have a good one, they got to

581
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: move on from it so quickly, Like the Sun's The

582
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: Suns is great right now, but they're valid. The Valley

583
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: the Black ones that they wore like in the finals,

584
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: those were awesome. The Jazz had, like their Gradient ones,

585
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: those were sweet, but they just can't keep them for

586
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 2: long enough and they got to move on to the

587
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: next one. So when they actually have a hit, it

588
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: doesn't stick around long enough.

589
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: So do you think they honestly should like get rid

590
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: of like this Every year we need a new city

591
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: edition jersey, Like, no, you don't. Maybe every couple of years.

592
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 2: We don't need it.

593
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: We don't need it.

594
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: You go to a game and you see people buy

595
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: every single one of.

596
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: Them, You're like, somebody has that jersey.

597
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: I forgot about that jersey. Yeah, and they they're wearing it.

598
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Some of these like in thirty years

599
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: from now at Coachella and you're rocking one of these

600
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: doing what the hell is that? Maybe they'll be cool

601
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: by then because they were so ugly or so uninspiring.

602

00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: I know what the personal matter is? Yeah, he personally

619
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: does not want to play for the Sixers. Believe I

620
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: personally is are what's the matter? I personally do not

621
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: want to be here? This is getting newsier, newsier and newsier.

622
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: You know, early on it was James Harden didn't show

623
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: up to media day, but he did show up to

624
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: practice in out in what Fort Collins, Colorado. That's right,

625
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 2: we saw pictures. They said he was a participant. They look,

626
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: but now he's missing games. And now it's seeming, according

627
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: to Nick Nurse, like he will not be playing in

628
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: their final preseason game, which I think is tonight. The

629
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: season starts next week. Things are coming to a head

630
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: here with regards to James Harden, and I think he's

631
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: showing the Sixers like, yeah, I'm playing it kind of

632
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: low key right now. He's just skipping stuff, just preseason stuff.

633
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: Ain't no big deal, just skipping practices. But if that's

634
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: what he's doing right now, can you realistically give him

635
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,239
Speaker 2: the ball once the season starts and be like, yeah, man,

636
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: you're a starting point guard?

637
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: No, because what does that also say to the rest

638
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: of your team. Yeah, it's like no, yeah, he was

639
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: gone for all of preseason. Basically he's good no practice,

640
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: but yeah he's part of the team. Guys. No, no, no, no,

641
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna start probably costing himself money. I

642
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: guess I would assume if they do not trade him here,

643
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: you're hearing some rumors that this is gonna happen here,

644
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: maybe at some point over the weekend before the start

645
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: of the season. I'm on record saying they should do

646
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: not go into the start of the season with this

647
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: still hanging over you. Harden did say last week his

648
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: fractured relationship with team president Daryl Morey could not be repaired,

649
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: and he compared it to a broken marriage. And he

650
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: said over the summer that he will and could not

651
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: play for the seventy six ers. Ye, so I cannot

652
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: do it now, this personal matter thing, like, I mean,

653
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: this is new. They're adding this to this. I mean,

654
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: I hope nothing is wrong. It feels like nothing is wrong.

655
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: It's a very weird coincidence. If something is suddenly wrong

656
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: in his personal life. This is just I don't know.

657
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, why would they are why are they

658
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: adding this? Then everybody knows he just doesn't want to

659
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: play for the team. Yeah, doesn't want to Yeah, yeah,

660
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: trade me? So we will see. Do you think this

661
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 1: does go down over the weekend?

662
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: No?

663
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: Wow?

664
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: No. I think Darryl Morey is gonna wait it out

665
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: until the deals get better, at least until the Clippers

666
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: decided to come up off of Terrence Man, which has

667
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: been the sticking point thus far. I mean two months

668
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: until December fifteenth, and a lot more players are eligible

669
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 2: to be traded. A lot can happen in two months

670
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: and the last time James Harden, well, I guess not

671
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: the last time, but the previous time when he was

672
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: trying to get out of a team with the Houston Rockets,

673
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: they waited until the deals got better. So I think

674
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: that will be the same case for Darryl and the.

675
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Sixers to do it all over again. Yeah, all right,

676
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: next headline from the Score our old stompin Browns. NBA

677
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: considering changes to the All Star Game format East versus

678
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: West possible again? Yeah. Commissioner Adam Silver said on ESPN

679
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: changes are a coming to the All Star Game, and

680
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: he hinted he hinted that the current format of top

681
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: vote getters serving as captains and drafting their own teams,

682
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: that that may be shelved and that maybe we do

683
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: just go back to the old days when it was

684
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: East versus West.

685
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: Is this news not yet, I guess. But the newsiest

686
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: part to me was Joe Dumars's quotes, who said, he said,

687
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: there's a happy medium somewhere between a hard fought playoff

688
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: game and what you saw last year when you have

689
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: the reaction that fans had and people had around the game,

690
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: and just visually it matters because it didn't make the

691
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: product look good. That was a bad All Star game

692
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: last year. A lot of guys were missing, yep. But

693
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: it was definitely definitely underwhelming. And I think it's pretty

694
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: hilarious that Joe Dumars is like, you don't have to

695
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: play as hard as this. It's a playoff game. Nobody's

696
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: expecting that. We just want a little bit of competition,

697
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: similar to like twenty twenty All Star when Kyle Lowry

698
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: was taking charges in the fourth quarter. The first year

699
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: of the elam ending, right, it did come down to

700
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: free throws. That's just how it has happened. But last

701
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: year it was a blowout, even with the elam ending

702
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: in effect. The thing is they're always trying to fix

703
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: this with the format, and it all comes down to

704
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: the players care. Yeah, and they don't right now. Yeah,

705
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: And they send Joe Dumars out there for all of

706
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: these different things kind of give a stern talking to

707
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: to the players. It fields. So it's like all that

708
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: resting science that doesn't work. You guys aren't trying hard enough.

709
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: You need to play harder. I agree, but it is

710
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: a boomer take, and hopefully boomerism actually wins out here.

711
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: Yes, this is we've had six now All Star Games

712
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: where we've done the whole leading vote ketterers. Yeah, serving

713
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: as captain's Lebron a captain all six times, Joannis three times,

714
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: Durant twice, Steph Curry once, I think is the breakdown.

715
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: But before that, the sixty six All Star Games prior

716
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Yeah, we had the East versus West format.

717
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, changing whether it's Lebron team Lebron versus team

718
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: you honest, or the Eastern Conference versus the Western Conference,

719
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter at all to just trying to get

720
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: them to play a little bit harder and give us

721
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: more of an entertaining game. And they should they you know,

722
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: casuals do turn into this. You know, it's a it's

723
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: a tenth pole event in the NBA season, and it's

724
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: not a good look when you turn over to it

725
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: and it's like what are they doing? Like no one care,

726
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: they don't feel like they want to be there. It's

727
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: the end of the long weekend. I get all that,

728
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, their their weekend, I should say, but it's like, oh,

729
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: that's bad product, and they're trying to sell this thing

730
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: for billions upon billions upon billions of dollars here for

731
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: the new NBA media rights. This would be good timing

732
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: to have a very good All Star game, is my

733
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: point for negotiations. If they're not done by that, it

734
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: just helps, It can only help. But I'm okay with

735
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: going back to East versus West.

736
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't They didn't need to change it in the

737
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: first place. No, I mean, it was fine when they

738
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: were split it up, and it was we had some

739
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: cool moments during the draft, but they didn't have to

740
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: change it's the versus West. But also, like if you

741
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 2: go back to East versus West, it makes everybody think, well,

742
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: are you going back on the play in tournament? Are

743
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: you going back on the nd season tournament? You need

744
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: to change everything back.

745
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: Eventually, I give you, yeah, I'll give Silver this. He's

746
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: not afraid to try it. And then I guess, eh,

747
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: we'll give it a going if it doesn't work, and

748
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: we can always go back if we have to, which

749
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: you can, which they might. The drafts, do you think

750
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: they were a success overall?

751
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 2: Some? Yeah, some of them, Like honestly, like Lebron laughing

752
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: about Duncan on James Harden, like that was a funny moment.

753
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 2: I guess, uh, we had a long tail, sort of

754
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 2: interesting kind of thing happened with Jannis picking Damian Lillard

755
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: over drew Holiday, which Lebron called out right away and

756
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 2: then paid off what eight months later when Lillard actually

757
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 2: went to the Bucks. Lebron is good. Lebron has always

758
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: been good in them. I think there have been great

759
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: moments with Durant, with Curry and with Giannis as well.

760
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, I've enjoyed it, but I also don't

761
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: feel like it's a totally necessary thing.

762
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: No, you'll kitcha. Didn't he draft himself? Really? This at

763
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: All Star weekend? Didn't you just get up and put Yeah?

764
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go over there. All right, Well, let's

765
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. Do you care at all about the

766
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: All Star game format? You want East versus West? You

767
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: want them to keep drafting? Uh? What do you think?

768
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: Final one from the Salt Lake trinam Utah Jazz will

769
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: stop selling Michael Jordan Jumpman's shirt after backlash from fans.

770
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: We have a photo of the shirt. It is the

771
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: Jumpman logo. It's that silhouette flying over the name of

772
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. Michael Jordan and the Bulls beat the

773
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: Jazz twice in the NBA Finals. One tweet I read said,

774
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: this is an absolute travesty. Some of us cried that day.

775
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: So the shirt has been pulled from the from the

776
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: Jazz Team store. I don't think you could buy it online.

777
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Could you try to buy one?

778
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: No? I called the Utah Jazz Team store and I said,

779
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: send me every one of these. I love it. I

780
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: think Michael Jordan designed this personally. Oh wow, yeah, I said,

781
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: send this to Utah. You gotta wonder though, was that

782
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: like Jordan's sponsors, like every City Jersey?

783
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: Yea.

784
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: So is there a Piston's version of this would be hilarious?

785
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: Is there a nixt version of this would be pretty

786
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 2: funny as well? Or did they catch it early enough store?

787
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. We haven't seen photos. I

788
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: don't know if people are in the stores. I would

789
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: assume they caught it and said, yeah, like Knicks, Knicks

790
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: fans would go nuts. Yeah, Jazz fans or one thing

791
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: Nicks whole other level. No, I don't know, but you're right,

792
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: so you're telling me in theory. I don't know. There's

793
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: a there's a Portland trail Blazers jumpman logo that looks exactly.

794
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: Like that really could be pretty weird. What a weird shirt?

795
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: A giant Jordan or your name barely at the bottom,

796
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: like making a shirt of your number one hater? Had

797
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: that guy back in the TBJ comments days called me

798
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 2: fat every single day. Gonna get Surge, that, Bob says, trigger.

799
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, that's right, Serge. You still hurt my feelings,

800
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: sees man. I hope you're still listening though.

801
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: I hope you got fat, sir, because I did it.

802
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, thanks for the motivation.

803
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some five star Friday fun.

804
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

805
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: What do we do for this? What we do for this?

806
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, every Friday, every first Friday of the month

807
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 2: during the NBA season, we will read five five star

808
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: reviews from Apple Podcast. Now this is not the first

809
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: Friday of the month. No, we're also not reading five

810
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: of them. Okay, that's the preseason.

811
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we just got to get warmed up.

812
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I know what you're thinking, Surge. We

813
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 2: had five good ones, okay, but we trimmed them down

814
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: because we wanted to keep this moving fast, which I'm

815
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: derailing right, now by speaking to a man who may

816
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: not listen to the show anymore. But we got some

817
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: five star reviews here. Our first one is from doctor

818
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: Hoop Little five stars. Oh no, this one's from it

819
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 2: no extra stuff, pure be ball. I love this podcast man.

820
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: No constant annoying ads, no weird podcast theme music, randomly playing.

821
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: They don't go off topic too much, but when they do,

822
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: it's not too long, and it's playful, consistent uploading to

823
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: keep it up hashtag sarcasms. I don't know. I don't know.

824
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: I feel like we know.

825
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: All those things.

826
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 4: Definitely consistently upload.

827
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: That is true. Yeah, but I mean we do all

828
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: the other things too. Yeah, we go off on tangents.

829
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: We always come back. We do, you know music definitely

830
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: blare it in every once in a while. I think

831
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: it just happened with the five star Friday. But yeah,

832
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't matter. It's five stars, so

833
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I can't take it.

834
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: That's right.

835
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: We'll take the five stars and the constructive criticism.

836
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 1: People.

837
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,600

00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: Maddio is the one who brought me here. He's a

857
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: That could assume not every not only every No Dunks episode,

890
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: I began with the starters. They're basically old friends, because

891
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: you can't make friends when you're middle aged. It's a rule.

892
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 2: That's tough. Yeah, we got a lot of these saying, uh,

893
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 2: we're kind of old friends for people, and a lot

894
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: of people like you're saying, skeets have listened to a

Speaker 1: Up with us.

898
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,160

00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well we appreciate it. What is the best way

900
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: to make friends when you're middle aged like us?

901
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: Play basketball?

902
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say it's it's yeah, it's probably

00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: That's good.

00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: That's good, which is great. This is a This is.

909
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: Because you're like doing the opposite of what you've done

Speaker 2: Sketchers, Yeah, get your shape.

966
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: What's another random player brand partnership that you would like

967
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: to see this coming season?

968
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: How about Josh Giddy pitching oxy pads? When do you

969
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: want to have a breakout season but not a broken

970
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 2: out face?

971
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: Whoa? This guy just wrote the tagline easy young guy?

972
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: Young guy? Yeah, probably he's what twenty one years old?

973
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 2: Not a nary hair on his face? Skeets. That guy's

974
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: clean shada. Gotta keep looking good out there. You can't

975
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: be playing with acne in the NBA.

976
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: It makes sense.

977
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 3: Pitch it.

978
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: What do you got?

979
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 4: J D h Our countrymen, Dylan Brooks. Yes, you know

980
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 4: he's got a bit of a punch punchable face. He's

981
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 4: a bit of a villain. I think we should try

982
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 4: to soften up his image.

983
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: A little bit.

984
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: Now.

985
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 4: Today, October twentieth, Mark's the beginning of Hallmark Channels countdown

986
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 4: to Christmas, right, so they're premiering forty two new Christmas

987
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 4: movies Festive movies from now until Christmas, and I think

988
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks should be the face of that. I think

989
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 4: every every time they air one, he should. They should

990
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 4: come in to Dylan Brooks. You know, he's sitting in

991
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: an armchair by the fire stockings hung and he's like, Hey,

992
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: I'm Dylan Brooks, and welcome to Countdown.

993
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: To Christmas on the Hallmark Channel. You know, we're premiering.

994
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 4: Forty two new festive movies from now until the till

995
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 4: the big Day, and then tonight we kick it off

996
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 4: with checking it twice during Kim Matula and Kevin McGary. Now,

997
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: this one's about a journeyman hockey player McGary falling for

998
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 4: a real estate agent Matula in a career crisis when

999
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 4: he's traded to her hometown and moves into a cottage

1000
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 4: in her hockey loving family's backyard. Enjoy the show, and

1001
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 4: then and then and then every break you come back,

1002
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 4: he's like, wow, I can't believe that he refused to

1003
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 4: go to dinner or whatever, you know, and then the

1004
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 4: whole the ups and downs of the Hallmark adventure. I mean,

1005
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 4: you've seen them. I'm sure you watch them obviously. Of course,

1006
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 4: I think it would be a good sort of a swerve. Yes,

1007
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 4: certainly for Dylan, but I could to improve his image

1008
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 4: a little bit, you know, be the romance guy, be

1009
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 4: the love guy, the Hallmark guy. But he's still you know,

1010
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 4: he's still a villain on the court. And that's fine.

1011
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: But I'd like to see's you know, a new dimension.

1012
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 4: Let's get them three dimensional.

1013
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks on the Hallmark Channel. Yeah, Christmas movies, forty.

1014
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 2: Two new movies.

1015
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the that's the thing.

1016
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 4: They shoot movies all year and then they they premiere

1017
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 4: them running up to Christmas.

1018
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 3: And they've done forty two this year.

1019
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

1020
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: Is Ai writing the scripts?

1021
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 4: I mean at this point probably, I think they're all

1022
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 4: they're all the same formula.

1023
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's just different settings.

1024
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 2: It got a lot of new movies people love like Christmas.

1025
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: You watch you rewatch old movies.

1026
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, not anymore.

1027
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 2: We got Al and Iverson on the case right, new

1028
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 2: movies for the channel and.

1029
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: Dragon I'm gonna go with my Random Player brand partnership

1030
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: for this coming season. I think it just makes sense

1031
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: for James Harden and Bay's travel luggage because he's moving

1032
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: around a lot. He wants to move around a lot.

1033
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: It's a great luggage by the way. You know it's look,

1034
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: it's pricey, but it's worth it. That b e I

1035
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: s that beays. I think it's how you say it. Yeah, Bash,

1036
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: it's great. I got the little weekend or bag. I

1037
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: mean I bought it for Nora, but I use it.

1038
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: It's fantastic, you know, I love it. But it's got

1039
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: that lower compartment to put shoes in. Smart No, not

1040
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: even a slipping though, it's like more room. It like

1041
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: sort of like opens up. Yeah, there's just way more.

1042
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 3: Yes, tantrum proof probably as well.

1043
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

1044
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 4: You know Harden likes to throw a tantrum.

1045
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can put all his money for the strip

1046
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: club in that lower compartment.

1047
00:48:59,440 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 3: That's true.

1048
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 1: Perfect, all right, Next one here, Pros versus Joe's is back. Yeah.

1049
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 2: Finally.

1050
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: For those that don't remember, the reality game show aired

1051
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: for five seasons between six and twenty ten, and it

1052
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: pitted ordinary people with love and skill for multiple sports

1053
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: against famous sports athletes. Uh. Some of the athletes featured

1054

1062
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, all you gotta do is be more charismatic than

1063
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,479

Speaker 3: I mean you have.

1135
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,799

00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: still take him if he's never trained for it right now,

1137
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: TOMORROW i think it'd be very. DIFFICULT i think he

1138
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: would do, it but like four hours, okay so for,

1139
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: sure yeah, yeah but he'd be running LIKE i don't,

1140
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: Know like but then you're, LIKE i don't have a

1141
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: lot stride like nine minute, mile that's plus nine minute.

1142

1143
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 3: But does he have the endurance that.

1144
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of miles? Anyway be the most boring

1145
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,719

1146
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:53,600
