Let's start with winners task. Where 82 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: are you going well? 83 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: Nikolai Jokich is kind of back. It's crazy. The guy 84 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: who's fourth in MVP voting last year has kind of 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: been just wallowing in mediocrity this year. He just hasn't 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: been himself. He's like that uninterested smart kid at school, 87 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: like until he's really tested, until the test come up, 88 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: he's just gonna go through the semester just like okay, ma, 89 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: I don't give it. Yeah, And so he hit two 90 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: game winning shots this weekend because he was forced to. 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: It's the end of the it's the test, man, it's 92 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: the exam. Do it. And he was kind of forced 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: into it. Friday night he hit that one big one 94 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 2: against the Sixers, and then Sunday night the test came 95 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: in overtime, He's like, fine, I'll just hit this shot. 96 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: I don't technically think he's all the way back. He's 97 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: not amazing quite yet. And then I gets should have 98 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: lost on Sunday night against the Wolves. It wasn't a 99 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: very good offense, but Nikolaijokic kind of looking like himself, 100 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: you know, one of the most interesting players to watch 101 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: in the league because he's so different, because he is 102 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 2: that on interested big kid who doesn't care to be there, 103 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: and he just kind of Mosy's about were starting, We're 104 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: starting to see the skills, and then I guess and 105 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: they're just they are lucky to be where they are 106 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: in the standings right now with nikoliokicch not being amazing 107 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: to this point at seven and two. It just speaks 108 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 2: to their depth and that they're they've got enough coming 109 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 2: through you know, two through twelve and through Will Barton 110 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: and guys like that. 111 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: How about those shots too, Like these shots were insane 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 3: that he hit like fade away, you know, twenty foot 113 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: rainbows that scraped the ceiling. 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 5: They're in his bag though, that's his shot. You know, 115 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 5: he's never hit a. 116 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: Like a sexy game winner. 117 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: They're all ugly, but they somehow go And he got 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: that fresh haircut, so he's looking nice over the weekend, 119 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: looked a little bit tighter. Maybe this is just what 120 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: he's doing this season, is you know, chilling through the 121 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: first three quarters. Then in the fourth quarter, fine, the 122 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: test is here, got to hit some shots. Then he 123 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: hits the shot, and I love that both times, like 124 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: zero celebration. He just kind of went to the referee 125 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: and started complaining right away, like, oh, come on, man, 126 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: of course I got an a plus on this test. 127 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. 128 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: But even even with an unimpressive start from Yokic, the 129 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: guy has hit two game winners and the Nuggets are 130 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: seven and two. We're looking for problems. Maybe they're not there. 131 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the Nuggets don't. They don't look completely right, 132 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: but things are working out. Okay. Maybe that's just the 133 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Yolkic style. It doesn't look right, but it works out. Okay. 134 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: Well, what's weird about the Nuggets is, you know, in 135 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: addition to being seven and two, it's odd is their 136 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: defensive rating. Their defense has actually been really solid. They're 137 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 3: rely top three in the league, and it's the offense 138 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: that is sluggish and struggled so far, and guys have 139 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: struggled to hit shots. And Yo Kich you know, especially 140 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: in first half and stuff like that at times doesn't 141 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: have it going. But here they are some too, top 142 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: of the Western Conference. It's like, Wow, what's gonna happen 143 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: when they actually start clicking a little bit more. 144 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's such a fun line because they could have 145 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: easily gone on to this weekend. 146 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: Right that's and those both of those shots don't fall, 147 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: and we're like, what is yo kicstill exactly? 148 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like, yeah, Yu kitch is really struggling. 149 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 3: They need to do something. 150 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 5: Obviously the six is without Ben Simmons on Friday not 151 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 5: and they get to win there and then yesterday, you know, 152 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 5: the Wolves should have won, if there's such a thing 153 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 5: as that, But instead Yo kicch does it and they 154 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 5: and they rolled. They look you know, when you look 155 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 5: at the standing seven and two, you think, oh, they 156 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 5: sort of surprised me that they're that good, you know, 157 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 5: like because they were what two and were they two 158 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 5: and two at one point three and two at one 159 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 5: point and that was when you sort of thought, oh, 160 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 5: you know, they had that bad loss to the Pelicans. 161 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 5: You're like, oh, maybe this team just isn't all that flash. 162 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 5: But good teams figure out ways to win. And I 163 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 5: think you mentioned their defense is really much important. If 164 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 5: you're playing defense, you just give your team more chances 165 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 5: to win games. And so I think that's good. And Mike, 166 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 5: Mike Malone has just he always talks about play defense, 167 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: play defense, play defense.

It was a scramble play. He gets 184 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: the ball, he hits it up, then the other side 185 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,239 Speaker 2: the Sixers still had a chance to win this game 186 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: with one second left. Call it a beautiful play where 187 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: it's a lob for Joel Embiid. Nobody on the other 188 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 2: side of the floor, so it's a sideline out of 189 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 2: bound lob to the other side of the rim, and 190 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 2: no one can can disrupt it from the other side 191 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: because they're all sort of on the near side. And 192 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 2: Joel Embiid gets called for pushing off Nikoli Jokic when 193 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: it was really it was Nikoli Jokic hooking Joel Embiid 194 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: in the last two minutes. Reports said that that was 195 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: just you never see a call like that where a 196 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: guy is called to push where he's pushing off to 197 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: seal a game. Really on an out of bounds play 198 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 2: like that, that was It was really really weird to 199 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: see something like that. 200 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, because that ball is going to embied and it's 201 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: a bucket. 202 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a cool seal and a cool play 203 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: called and then uh yeah, just just it was just odd. 204 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: One side of the floor, there's this crazy scramble Yoki 205 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 2: just chucks it goes in game winner, and then on 206 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: the other side of whistle. What the it was just 207 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: it was just a strange little sequence there that you 208 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: don't usually see in the. 209 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 3: NBA Nuggets Winner of the Weekend. That's an obvious one. 210 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: That's a great one. I'm gonna go with the Raptors 211 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 3: as well. 212 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 5: He's back one day, that's right, one day wearing my 213 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 5: wee the North sweatshirt to Lee. 214 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 4: No. 215 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: Look, the injury depleted Raptors. And I know we'll get 216 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: to Lowry a little bit later on here. I'm sure 217 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: when we get to maybe losers and talking about parts 218 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: of the body, but the injury depleted Raptors. They snapped 219 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: the Lakers seven game win streak on Sunday Night One's 220 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 3: thirteen one oh four. Pascal Siakam Great twenty four points, 221 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 3: eleven boards. You know, a rough first half, got to 222 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: going in the second half. Fred van Vliet twenty three points, 223 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 3: ten assists. But it was all these other guys who 224 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 3: took down the mighty Lakers in La on Sunday night. 225 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: It was a guy who won the Super Bowl with 226 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 3: the Broncos, Davis. Yeah, exactly. It was the white guy 227 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: down at the YMCA who only shoots free throws off 228 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: to the side, even though you need another guy for 229 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 3: your runn He's like, no, no, I'm just trying to 230 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: be Lee ls slash Matt Thomas. It was a guy 231 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: who you know, really in this point of the season, 232 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: has more names and really minutes played up into that 233 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: game in Ronde Hollis Jefferson. And it was an undrafted 234 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: Canadian who sort of looks like an extra from Avatar 235 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: in Chris Bouchet. That's who was doing the dirty work 236 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 3: for the super deep Toronto Raptors as they beat the 237 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 3: Lakers on Sunday and this look. This was one of 238 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: the more memorable regular season Raptors wins that I can 239 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: remember in their franchise history. 240 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 5: Easily rights. 241 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: That was a pretty impressive win with how great the 242 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: Lakers had been playing. 243 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they started off really well the Lakers, and 244 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 5: you felt like, yeah, it could have been a blow, 245 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 5: could have been straight away, but Fred Van Dleek kind 246 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 5: of kept them in because yeah, can couldn't hit a shot, 247 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 5: certainly from three in that first half. But that's really 248 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 5: a credit to the Raptors that they are more than 249 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: just obviously Pascal there. Because in the fourth quarter too, 250 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 5: Nick Nurse kept that sort of second unit on here. 251 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 5: They were balling. Yeah, you know, and no, I mean 252 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 5: they were because these guys, you're like, okay. 253 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: Davis, so funny to hear. 254 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 5: We were because Bouchet was a beast at both ends 255 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 5: that we block Lebron and and then he went down 256 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 5: on one play and stepped up and knocked down the 257 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: three point. It was just like, all right, settle down here, fella. 258 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: But he was riding that confidence that announce is obviously 259 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 5: like I need someone to step up. I need some guys, 260 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 5: he said. After this game, Nick Nurse said, you know, 261 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 5: I only like about eight guys on my roster. I 262 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 5: guess I'm gonna have to start liking a few more. 263 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 5: Will will these guys be able to step up and 264 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 5: perform like that again? Obviously that's a huge question starting 265 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 5: tonight against the Clippers. But for one game against the 266 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 5: team that was probably the hottest team in the league 267 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 5: right now in the second half, was a super impressive, 268 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 5: super fun game to watch. 269 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: Nick Nurse got crafty in this game too. 270 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: Man. 271 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: I love That's what it's so. I love about Nurses. 272 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: When his team is getting beat he is not afraid 273 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: because a lot of coaches are too big. All right, 274 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: let's go to a two three zone. Let's just like 275 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: totally switch it up here and see what happens and play. 276 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 3: Some of these guys, like a lot of coaches are 277 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: so stuck in their ways. They're like, no, you know, 278 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: just stick with the program here, we'll get back into it. 279 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: Just you know, do what we're good at. He's like 280 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: some games like, yeah, screw it, let's do the old 281 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 3: box one to four box on Curry. Let's do a 282 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: two three zone. 283 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: That's exactly why not we talked about years ago after 284 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: Lebron won his first title with the Heat, We're like, 285 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: this opens everything up. He's gonna have all that championship confidence. 286 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: Nick Nurse has the championship confidence. If you throw a 287 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: box and one at Steph Curry and the finals and 288 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: it works, You're gonna do a two three zone against 289 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: the Lakers in the tenth game of the season. Just 290 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: let it fly. He actually won to coach his challenge 291 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: last night. Everybody was hugging out of a perfect night. 292 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I guess for the Raptors, people were saying, this is 293 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: the happiest they've been as Raptors fans. I saw on Twitter, 294 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: you won a championship this calendar year, but beating the 295 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Lakers in November, it's exciting. 296 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: It is crazy. I guess when let's not get ahead 297 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: of theirselves. But when teams say they repeat, the second 298 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: one is sweeter because they have to work harder for it, 299 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: because you actually like you're not as hungry, you could 300 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: be not as hungry. I always think of let's keep 301 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: it in Toronto. The ninety two ninety three Blue Jays, 302 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: they said they're ninety three title always sweeter the ninety 303 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: three championship. 304 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: Are you saying the win for sure? 305 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: For sure? Nick Nurse? Yeah, I think it's good for 306 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: Nick Nurse. It's as dumb as the winning a coaches 307 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: challenges and as dumb as the coaches challenges. He's hugging 308 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: everybody on his bench. He goes and hugs a Lakers 309 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: season seat ticket holder, which was hilarious. 310 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: He threw up the Popovich chat thumbs up there. 311 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, he kind of copied the Warriors from the preseason, 312 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: the Warriors in the preseason, but it was preseasons, so 313 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: nobody cares. Yeah, but I think it is good for 314 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: Nick Nurse to get that little that notoriety that the cameras. 315 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 2: No one's necessarily going to remember the ninth game of 316 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: the season for the Toronto Raptors, but he was on camera, 317 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: and I think that's going to give him a little 318 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: bit of notoriety when it comes to the Coach of 319 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: the Year, it is. Yeah, people will remember him for 320 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: that odd strange thing, not not over not getting his 321 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 2: bench to to uh do as well as they're doing 322 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: and overachieve not playing a two three, but hey, is 323 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: that weird guy who's hugging everybody? Uh, And he is 324 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: gaining notoriety as an ex AS and O's coach and 325 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: not just a motivational type guy as well. He's he's 326 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: an all round great coach and it's good for him 327 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 2: to be on camera. 328 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say it was going 329 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 3: to help him down the line, sell more records when 330 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 3: he drops the guitar something like that. Maybe it will 331 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: help there. 332 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 5: He must have busted at a song last night. I 333 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 5: mean that would have been grided in the locker room. 334 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 5: You could just see him in the luckery, like get 335 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: the guitar, the guitar. 336 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he with the challenge thing, he had lost seven. 337 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 5: I think he lost straight.

I mean 341 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 5: that was that moment where the Raptors actually sort of 342 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 5: took control of the game. Yeah, maybe I took control, 343 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 5: but that was when they really started to execute.

It's almost to the point where it's hard 391 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: to tell what's a really good line, because, yeah, I 392 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: totally agree with James Harden forty two, ten and nine. 393 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: He gets no sort of press for that, right. Dangelo 394 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: Russell thirty two and seven. That would be a good 395 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: game if you didn't just have fifty two.

It's it's almost to 397 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: the point where I feel like people were looking back 398 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: at Oscar robertson season when he averaged a triple double 399 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: when it was the rest Westbrook. Here people are looking 400 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: back saying, look at all the possessions they had, Look 401 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: at the offense. This was an offense only era in 402 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: the league. It doesn't really count the same. Will people 403 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: be saying that about the the the era we're in 404 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: right now where there are great players on every single team. 405 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: You got Dangelo Russell who was a one time All 406 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Star and it's basically just doing whatever he wants for 407 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: the Warriors right now putting up fifty. Will we ever 408 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: go back to a defense league like the defense or 409 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: is it gonna be like, you know, thirty is the 410 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: new twenty points because it used to score twenty points. 411 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: Be like, oh man, twenty five in a game, that's incredible. 412 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: Now thirty is nothing. Nobody cares about a thirty point 413 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: game anymore. 414 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 3: Someone tweeted at us at no dunk Sank.

He was like, Trey Young's 427 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: gonna beat you know, Kobe's eighty one. I was like, 428 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: I don't know about that one, but man, yeah, you 429 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 3: could convince me of a lillar to hard in a book. 430 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah, like on and on and on. 431 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 5: The thirty guys, just thirty guys in the NBA averaging 432 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 5: twenty or more, right now, wow, that's a lot De 433 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 5: Monte teams in there average the twenty game. Then there's 434 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 5: a couple sort of rode on the proof of the 435 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 5: nineteen and a half. But it's right. I mean, you 436 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 5: see a guy put up like thirty and twelve and 437 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 5: it's like, oh, yeah, bet you. 438 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: Know, well, yeah, there's on Friday Night, there was four 439 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: guys with forty or more, and Lillard had sixty, Russell 440 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: fifty two sack and forty four, and Against had forty yeah, 441 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: and Luka Dancich had thirty eight. It was it was 442 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: the first night in fourteen years that two guys had 443 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: fifty or more on the same night two thousand and five, 444 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: and both low yeah yeah and Vincent uh yeah, Alan 445 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: iverson way back, yeah, uh yeah. I think when you 446 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: talk about will this be the air that people yeah 447 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: sort of relate to the Oscar robertson error are just 448 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: sort of like, hey, so many freaking points. I guess 449 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 2: the other side right now is like guys who just 450 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: played are like they don't like it, they don't the 451 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 2: other way, what's gonna a swing the pendulum. The other 452 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: way is guys want to be able to put forth 453 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: effort on defense, So guys who won championships in the 454 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 2: NBA are like, you can't compete the same way you 455 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: used to on defense. So I think that could be 456 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: what gets into the NBA front office, and maybe there's 457 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: a discussion there about like can we just we're going 458 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: a little bit too far with the freedom of movement. 459 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 2: Everybody can't be touched, And maybe maybe there's some way 460 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: you stop slow it down. But the product is so 461 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: good and the and the world likes it. Right, the 462 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: NBA has never been more popular. So yeah, a lot 463 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 2: of points being put up on the board. 464 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: Man, who's your who's your favorite YouTube creator right now? 465 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: Bobby Free Dawkins, Man, Free Dawkins.

So 468 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: as long as we're free in one of the Darkohs 469 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: or the Dawkins, we're good. Lee. 470 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: Who you got for a winner of the weekend? 471 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 5: Well, a surprising winner because this team is actually having 472 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 5: a pretty good season by the expectations. It's the Cleveland Cavalits. 473 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 5: So a couple of wins over the weekend. Yeah, well, 474 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 5: I mean Washington, we know they're struggling. And then Sunday 475 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 5: they go to the mecha against a team that Marcus 476 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 5: Morra said, no one's going to come here and here 477 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 5: and punk us and they get punked again. But honestly, 478 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 5: like the thing about the Caves, like I haven't been 479 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 5: watching their games wide a WHI, I'll be honest, but 480 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 5: you dip in and watch that team. They're actually kind 481 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: of fun to watch. 482 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: Yep. 483 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 5: Colin Sexton remember as a rookie, it was like this 484 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 5: guy just shoots all the time. He doesn't pass it. 485 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 5: He's starting to pass now, he started to move, but 486 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 5: he's also starting to knock down those shots. And he's 487 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 5: one of those guys like this guy's kind of he's 488 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 5: a little bit like Trey Young in the same sense, 489 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 5: like he knows how he can go and get a 490 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 5: basket or two and the calves four and five right 491 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 5: now currently in the playoffs. Obviously it's you know, super 492 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 5: super early into the season. But I mean this was 493 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 5: one of the teams certainly I had them pegged as 494 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 5: like they're just this is like a fire sale. They're 495 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 5: going to try to trade Thompson and Kevin Love and 496 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 5: cash in these assets now and look to the future. 497 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 5: This season is a complete white right off. But right now, 498 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 5: I mean, why wouldn't they just see what they've got 499 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 5: here and keep on going, Because if you could make 500 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 5: the playoffs, that's great for the Caps. I think, you know, 501 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 5: I mean, I think those those trade offers will. 502 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: Be there, pet they not. I think, isn't that the 503 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 3: one little caveat I think it's to protected. 504 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 5: I can't remember. But the point is that those trade 505 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 5: offers will be there. People will still want sure at 506 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 5: some point, so you don't need to you don't need 507 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 5: to jump off right now and just say all right, 508 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 5: let's let's just tank this whole season. Let's see what 509 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 5: we got here. And you know, it's a it's a 510 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 5: good story. It's a good story for Cleveland, I think. 511 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 5: So I'm happy for Sexton because it is one of 512 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 5: those guys who you like as a sexting I don't 513 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 5: sext anymore, you're absolute now now there's too many different 514 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 5: group chats on your phone. You don't want to be 515 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 5: sexting to a group chat, you know, that's what you've Yeah, 516 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 5: but yeah, I mean honestly, they completely surprised me. I mean, 517 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 5: not beating the well, we'll get to the nixt a bit, Yeah, but. 518 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 3: A bet down so bad on the next of the 519 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 3: Knicks president and GM had to come out and talk 520 00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: about it. 521 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 5: That's yeah, So give the cat. 522 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 3: They're not going to beat, you know, on most nights, 523 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 3: the good teams in the league, but they're proving that 524 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 3: they're they're better than the bad teams. Really is what 525 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 3: I'm getting at here. I mean, sorry to put the 526 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 3: Bulls in there too, but they they're bad. They beat 527 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: the Bulls and they beat those Wizards and beat the 528 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 3: Knicks on the road, and I think they beat the 529 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 3: Pacers earlier in the season too. So yeah, that's a 530 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: that's shocking house olid they've looked. 531 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: They got a front line there that won a championship. 532 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: And Kevin Levin, trist and Thompson when they are playing 533 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 2: is a monster. 534 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: He's contract here, Thompson here. 535 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 2: He's ready to be traded big time. Who wants him? 536 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: Somebody's got to take him. I mean he is, he's 537 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: averaging sixteen and eleven and he's good at it right now, 538 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: somebody's got to take him. A fact checking quickly earlier, 539 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: I did say two guys have scored fifty points on 540 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: the same night, first time since two thousand and five 541 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: when it was Vince and a which was right first 542 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: first Lee Lee threw this in here. First night where 543 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: two guys are scored for points and lost on the 544 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: same night, first night since nineteen seventy eight, which is 545 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: almost the Oscar Robertson era. 546 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 3: That's the it's like the final night of the season. 547 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: Is it not where they were gunning for the scoring title? 548 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 549 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: Is it? 550 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 5: Is it? Thompson and yeah. 551 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, seventy three and sixty three. It's a 552 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: long time. 553 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 3: Wow points wild NBA Weekend. Any you got any other winners. 554 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: I do want to sneak in the Houston Rockets because 555 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: they're talking about defense. They're talking about it, and that 556 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 2: makes them a winner. Literally after the game, PJ. Tucker said, Hey, 557 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: we're trying to hold teams onto a hundred points hard 558 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 2: and said it starts with the defense. Russell Westbrook said, 559 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 2: it starts with the defense. Mike d'antonian says, we're getting 560 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 2: better on that side. Hey, they kind of care, I guess. 561 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: And it's hard to really look at this team and 562 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: think that they're a championship contender when they have all 563 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: the pieces there. They do, they really do it, but they're, 564 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: you know, sort of getting to the point where the 565 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: window is closing. They're one of the older teams in 566 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: the league, and like, when you think about it, logically, 567 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: they should be good enough. They should be because they 568 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: were just there last year and the year before that 569 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: and the year before that, and they've got a very 570 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 2: similar bunch and two good things I do think. Okay, first, 571 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: their defense has to get frickin' way better. They moved 572 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 2: up from like twenty eighth to twenty fifth, and that's 573 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 2: not good enough. They got it. They got to get 574 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 2: way better. But the second thing is Russell Westbrook is 575 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: scoring at the rim and he's shooting a ridiculous percentage 576 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: at the rim, and that's really really important because he's 577 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: getting a lot of space because James Harden is providing 578 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 2: him that space. He's looking better in that department than 579 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: he ever has. It's a career high he was last 580 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: time I checked at the rim, and that's important. You know. 581 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 2: I think if he's going to be shooting as much 582 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: as he's likely to be shooting, and he's shooting that, well, 583 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: that's pretty good for them. And so that's the most 584 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: important thing I think coming out of this, along with 585 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: talking about defense. They're fucking yeah, that's not good enough. 586 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: But it's better. 587 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 3: Talking D and Sexton about D maybe to each other 588 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 3: in the group chat. 589 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 5: That's right. 590 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: They're first in pace right now, which is definitely a 591 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: change from last season. Then that to me is mostly Westbrook, 592 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, like that's the element that people thought this 593 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: could be good for the Rockets. Somebody just you know, 594 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: he would get crushed sometimes for Okay see grabbing every 595 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: single board and then pushing it. But that worked for Okay. 596 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: See that was sometimes a way for them to create 597 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: easy points. That's what Westbrook has been doing. He gives 598 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: them a little bit of chaos and it's something they need. 599 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: And also is you know, it's nice to play the 600 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: balls sometimes you can talk about defense after the balls 601 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: have been poopy, for sure. 602 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and with your Westbrook point too, pushing it in transition, 603 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 3: which you would obviously do on the Thunder, but he 604 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 3: wasn't surrounded by shooters. Yeah, you can push the ball 605 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 3: in transition. You got guys in the corners that can 606 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 3: actually shoot some action and some of them struggle. I 607 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: get for the Rockets, especially Eric Gordon so far this season. 608 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 3: But that's a whole other element right where you can 609 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: attack the paint and then kick to the corners or 610 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 3: guys trailing and splash them three. So it makes sense 611 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 3: on that level. I'd like to give a little a 612 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 3: mini I guess winner of the Weekend two. Yis too angry. 613 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: Yannis specifically not happy the Greek freak. He was not 614 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 3: happy with his first half performance on Sunday versus OK see, 615 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 3: he airballed another free thrown and he was so angry. 616 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: He knew ly also was going to be so disappointed 617 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: in him that he chewed sort of a hole in 618 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 3: his jersey on his way off the core, sort of 619 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 3: a bite and then a bit of a rip, and 620 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 3: so he had to get a new jersey. And then 621 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 3: while heading back to the locker room again first half, 622 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 3: not happy, kicked a massive hole, like a sort of 623 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 3: plastic thunder barricade. I guess if you want to call it, 624 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 3: that giant hole. 625 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 5: Like a horse or something kicked it out. It was 626 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 5: just such a big, you know big. I'll tell you 627 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: what though, those night jerseys, remember the first season we 628 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: had them crazy. Now they've obviously made them harder to 629 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 5: ricause you could see that slow mode. You're trying to 630 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 5: bite it awful, don't you should take that? 631 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 3: Hate that crazy? The idea of someone biting on a 632 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 3: towel fabric sends chills up my and you. 633 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 5: Could see him like all those biceps rippling, so he's 634 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 5: trying to pull that thing up. Eventually he got there. Yeah, 635 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 5: those things are tough, man, it's right. 636 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 3: But he's also tough because he came out, you know, 637 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: guns of blazing in the second half, score twenty four 638 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 3: of his thirty five after the break helped the Bucks 639 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 3: to rally to beat Okay see one twenty one one nineteen. 640 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 3: He's sort of lucky they got this win too. Did 641 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 3: you see the ending of this game, Yes, where he 642 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: didn't want to, like he could have got the ball, 643 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 3: gone to the free throw line and maybe knocked him 644 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: down in ice the game. But he did this whole 645 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 3: thing where he was I think it was telling Brook Lopez, no, no, no, 646 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 3: leave the ball, leave the ball so I can inbound 647 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: the ball. Yeah, and it ended up backfiring because they 648 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: got the five second violation. 649 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 2: It was crazy, Yeah, because he didn't want to go 650 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: to the technically go to the free throw line, which 651 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: makes sense totally. 652 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, right at the same time, and we 653 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: had talked about it prior, like he has confidence usually, 654 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: and it was just good. It was just a weird thing, like, yeah, 655 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: he was telling Brook to leave it so then he 656 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: could take it, and then he couldn't find anyone. 657 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: After last week when Eric Buttso walked in on an inbound. Yeah, 658 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: he said, Okay, I got inbound it. I'm just going 659 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: to walk in like when I'm playing pick up and 660 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: got called for the whistle possession before that brook Lopez thing, Eric, 661 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: but kicked the ball into the craft. It looked like 662 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: it looked like they're going to give that game away. 663 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Gallinari had a huge, you know, three 664 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 3: to to tie it up and stuff like that, but 665 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 3: Bucks squeaked it out in the end. Frank Maddin from 666 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: brew Hoop the Great Bucks Block, he tweeted that Giannis 667 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 3: in the second half the season is averaging nearly nineteen 668 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: points per game in the second half, seventy two percent 669 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: true shooting in those seventeen and a half minutes per 670 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: game in the second half, sixty six percent from the field, 671 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: and thirty six point three, which is into about he was 672 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: splashed a couple more there on Sunday. 673 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 5: Well at this point, just talking about the sort of 674 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 5: sealer there was that brook Lopez three. 675 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, shows got away got away with a little uh. 676 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 5: But that's I mean, that's standard in the NBA. Big 677 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 5: guy like that. But just the fact that he's three 678 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 5: pero shooting has improved to that point where he knocks 679 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 5: that down the compst and had the great little celebration afterwards. 680 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but yeah, really really good game again the 681 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 5: thunder tough debait. They's sort of tough debate at home 682 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 5: there and gallin Are mentioned that one that was sort 683 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 5: of off balance. He was a think gianness was rotten. Yeah, 684 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 5: and any knock that bit of a line drive yeah 685 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 5: show but yeah, yeah, Gannis, he doesn't want to get 686 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 5: that reputation though, of being someone trying to avoid. 687 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: No that that that was a little a little weird. 688 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I get what he's doing. He's like, I'd 689 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 3: rather get the ball to Brook Lopez, who's a great 690 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: free throw shooter. And maybe I should. You know, it's 691 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 3: he's self aware enough to be like, Okay, maybe there 692 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:25,959 Speaker 3: are better guys out here that should have the ball 693 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 3: in their hands go to the free throw line than me. 694 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: But still, yeah, you want to see him just like, 695 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: give me the damn ball. I'll take the foul. 696 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: That's right, Go knock them down. Put a pin on it. 697 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Because if we're noticing that, other coaches are noticing it too. 698 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be the playoffs sometime. Can't hide alway. Yeah, 699 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: some team's gonna put him on the line and say 700 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: you gotta beat us, and he can do it. But 701 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe he'll go sixteen for twenty and shoot 702 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: four air balls. It's super weird. It feels like when 703 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: he misses, it's an air ball. Ye why yeah, And 704 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: don't get it. 705 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 3: But you man, I love how competitive this guy is. 706 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: Just so he's taking a game like the tenth season 707 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 3: of the game here like so personal, like missing the 708 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: you know, airball in the free throw and just not 709 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 3: having a good first half and he's kicking things down. 710 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: He talked about the sign by the way. He said, 711 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: you know, there's no excuse there, and obviously I'll try 712 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 3: to pay for the sign, or I can trade you 713 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 3: guys for the Bucks sign when you guys come to Milwaukee. 714 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: I like it. 715 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: That's a weird one. 716 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 717 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: Is he saying that somebody on the Thunder can kick 718 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: a Bucks sign in or is he saying, well, actually, 719 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: just give you one of the Bucks signs that you 720 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 3: can then replace the Thunder sign. 721 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. He hasn't been scorching to start games. I think 722 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: this weekend they almost, you know, almost got blown out 723 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: by the Jazz on Friday night. They came back, they 724 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: were down twenty two points and then they lost to 725 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 2: a boy in Bogdanovich YouTube headliner game winner there. 726 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 5: That was a crazy ending to that game with Middleton 727 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,479 Speaker 5: doing that we jump travel. 728 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I wanted to say. So you 729 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: had that, you had the Eric Botzo kicking the ball 730 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: out of bounds. It didn't really encourage a lot of 731 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks playoff confidence in me. All the talk coming 732 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: into the season was they lose Malcolm Brogden, Who the 733 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: heck are they going to play coming down the stretch. 734 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: And that's the question. You know, aganis might just be 735 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 2: good enough to overcome all that. But if he's playing 736 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: with brook Lop is definitely gonna be out there, Chris 737 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: Milton definitely gonna be out there with the other two spots, 738 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 2: whether it's Eric Bletso, George Hill, Kyle Korver Weston Matthews 739 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 2: are up for grabs. Yeah, it doesn't really incite a 740 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: lot of confidence the way everyone is playing around him 741 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: right now. They're sort of lucky to be seven and 742 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: three in a way. 743 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 3: You think so, because I don't, I mean, I hear 744 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: what you're saying. I think it's great that they're seven 745 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 3: and three. They've had the toughest schedule in the league. 746 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good. 747 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 3: And you know, they lost to the heat and overtime. Okay, 748 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 3: they lost to the Celtics on the road, and then 749 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 3: they lost to the Jazz on the road. I mean, 750 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: those are tough places. Those are good teams to get 751 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 3: a win. I'm actually being seven and three some of 752 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 3: the quality wins they have picked up and they haven't. 753 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 3: You're right, they have definitely are not playing to like 754 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 3: a what appears to be like a championship level right now, 755 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 3: which is fine. I mean ten games in that's fine. Yeah, 756 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying. 757 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: What's their closing lineup? What is it? Yeah? And they 758 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: beat a koiless Clippers team, and that lost to the 759 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: Celtics was ugly. It's not really not really inciting a 760 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 2: lot of confidence in me. But if John this is 761 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 2: good enough to beat everybody. 762 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: It's similar to the Nuggets in a weird way. Yeah, 763 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 3: it's like, hey, we're still got seven wins in our 764 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 3: first nine or ten games and we haven't even played 765 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: that well, watch out when we get it going. All right, 766 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: let's get to losers of the weekend.

I don't know 797 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 3: if you're keeping your eye on the tweets herely to 798 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 3: determine whether he'll need surgery on his left hand he 799 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: fractured in Saturday's went over the Spurs. The injury occurred 800 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 3: when Hayward he collided with LaMarcus Aldridge, who was sort 801 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 3: of setting a backpick on Gordo, and his hand just 802 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 3: like got stuck in a weird way. 803 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: It's a strange, strange and yeah, I couldn't really tell, 804 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: like maybe he got elbowed in the hand like as 805 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: he and I think it was. Aldridge maybe has very 806 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: sharp elbows, I know, but I'm usually it's like you're 807 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: getting falled on, like Steph Curry or your hand maybe 808 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: gets caught in a jersey, but that looked like an 809 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: actual just impact had yeah, which is you don't see 810 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: on an upper body arm very often. 811 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 3: And uh, you know this sucks for Hayward who had 812 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 3: been balling out recently, playing really really well, sort of 813 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 3: getting back to that jazz Hayward. So we don't know. 814 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 3: We're waiting to find out like whether surgery will have 815 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 3: to happen and how long he'll miss it if it 816 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: does or does not happen. 817 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: And he's got to be sick. I mean, the guy 818 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: loves playing video games. If you have a broken band, 819 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: it's bad for basketball, even worse for a video game. 820 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 3: And I didn't even think of that. 821 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: What's he gonna do? 822 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 3: Maybe play with his feet? 823 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember he used to 824 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: like he had that that thing after he had his 825 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: broken leg where he had to be able to pick 826 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: up marbles with his toes in like thirty seconds. So 827 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: maybe he's like so maybe he's great with his feet. 828 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 1: It's like, fine, I'm going feet feet first. 829 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 3: And then on top of that raptors legend, let's call 830 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 3: him that call Lowry has been diagnosed with a fracture 831 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: in his left thumb. He's gonna be reevaluated in two weeks. Obviously, 832 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 3: didn't play in the Lakers game on Sunday. He suffered 833 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 3: the injury in Toronto's big win over the Pelicans on 834 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 3: Friday night. He went to the bench after he did 835 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 3: the classic lowry like swipe at the ball I think 836 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 3: it was Derek Favors underneath the rim, and then came up, 837 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 3: you know, sort of holding it. He came back into 838 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 3: the game, hit two three pointers and then was like, Oh, 839 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 3: my hand's really sore, and then didn't return to the game. 840 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: So he's gonna be out for a bit. It's they're 841 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 3: saying it's not like the same sort of injury, or 842 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 3: he didn't reaggravate the injury that he had surgery on 843 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 3: in that left hand during the summer when he was 844 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 3: playing injuries throughout the playoffs. So that's good news for 845 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 3: Raptors fans because he did undergo surgery during the summer 846 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 3: to repair ligaments in his left thumb. But this one's 847 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 3: more like it's at the tip of his of his 848 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 3: left thumb, I believe. 849 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, non shooting hand, which is I think that always 850 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 5: is a bonus because they can still kind of work out, 851 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 5: I guess, and stay in somewhat shape. Yeah, but just 852 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 5: to blow that, Yeah, he's going to be out for 853 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 5: another couple of. 854 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 3: Weeks, I mean especially, I mean I don't know. If 855 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 3: he doesn't miss that much time, it won't really matter. 856 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 3: But he was playing it once again at an all 857 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 3: star level. I mean, it was going to be a 858 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 3: lock to be an All Star again. You know, we'll 859 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 3: still time, It's still time for sure, for sure. But 860 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 3: he has been averaging twenty two six and a half 861 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: four and a half in his eight games that he 862 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 3: had played, so he's been great. So hands gets my 863 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 3: loser week. 864 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 2: It's nice he'll be still be able to be on 865 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 2: his feet and won't get to balloon to be fat lowry, right. 866 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: I imagine the same with Gordon Hayward, Like they should 867 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 2: be able to stay in shape. And also looks like 868 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 2: there's a real, real culture or a movement for people 869 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: who playing feet with their or play video games with 870 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 2: their feet. I should say, yeah, yeah, so you know, 871 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 2: should a. 872 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: Whole another league. 873 00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 3: Trey who you got for a loser. 874 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: Of the weekend? But story of the weekend Deon Waiters 875 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: on Friday night was not with the Miami Heat, and 876 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: people were saying, hmm, why is that he was listed 877 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: as an illness. But as we soon found out, on 878 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: Thursday night, as the Heat traveled from Phoenix to Los Angeles, 879 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: Dion Waiders ate a weed gummy and had a reaction 880 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: on the plane. They said he was unresponsive when they landed, 881 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: which is scary stuff. And then at over the weekend 882 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: the news started coming out. Are the Athletic Sean Sharani 883 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 1: reported Miami's Deon Waders has been suspended ten games without 884 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: pay for conduct detrimental to the team off the heels 885 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: of the incident where he had taken one gummy quote 886 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 1: gummy prior to boarding team plane. Per sources, The Heat 887 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: Sham's continued believe Waiters was given the gummy by a teammate, 888 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: but Waiders has been reluctant and has decided not to 889 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: say who provided it. Sources tell the athlete he Deon 890 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: Waiters has not yet played this season. He's now suspended 891 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: ten games for a weed freakout, and who among us 892 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: has not had a crazy weed freakout? Am? I right? 893 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: But you know you have to wonder what is going 894 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: to be going on with Dean Waiders. Now he was 895 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: suspended to start the season conduct detrimental to the team. 896 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: They said he was doing something on the bench. So 897 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: now I'm thinking, was this guy off his mind on 898 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: gummies just sitting there on the bench. 899 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 3: WHOA. 900 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: It's quite possible this suspension also had nothing to do 901 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 1: with the drug violation from the NBA. They just start 902 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: saying this was all everything that is built up. You know, 903 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: his interactions with Spolstra, the way he has been on 904 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,720 Speaker 1: Instagram replying to people, and then obviously the gummy incident 905 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: on the plane, which I guess means that there could 906 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: be another suspension coming from the league if they decided, hey, 907 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: we're going to do our random drug test on you, 908 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: and you test positive for THHC, maybe you get another 909 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: five games. Tim Reynolds of the AP very plugged in 910 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: down in Miami tweeted, you could say that Edible basically 911 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 1: cost Dion Waiders one point nine million dollars in salary 912 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,360 Speaker 1: from games missed and the certainty that he will not 913 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: qualify for his appearances. Bonus, he needed to miss ten 914 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: games or fewer for the season. He suspended ten games 915 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,399 Speaker 1: and hadn't played yet anyways, So Dian Waiters a big 916 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: loser of the weekend, and I mean his career in Miami, 917 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: you would have to think it's going to be over 918 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: pretty so. 919 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say, will he ever play 920 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 3: another game in the Miami Heat uniform? 921 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,720 Speaker 5: Well, he's got this year next year left on his contract. 922 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 5: I mean it's a it's a very easily tradable contract 923 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 5: as far as million Yeah. Yeah, so, but is there 924 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 5: much of a market for him, that's the real question for. 925 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 3: There wasn't much to begin with. 926 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 5: It was played his way into that contract in Miami. 927 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 5: You know, he played well and did what they wanted 928 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 5: him to do, but clearly having an injury and then 929 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 5: having disciplinary issues like this, it's hard to see too 930 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 5: many teams taking a chance on him right now. But 931 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 5: he I mean he had disciplinary problems coming into the league. 932 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 5: He got into it in his rookie season. I remember 933 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 5: with Kyrie and Cabs and so, I mean there's always 934 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 5: a chance someone will take a flyer knowing that you 935 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 5: know that the contract is okay. But yeah, it's he's 936 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 5: kind of playing himself out of the. 937 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 3: League, which teammate gave him the gummy. 938 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: There's I got two candidates it seems to be the 939 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: names popping up. Well, I guess I got three candidates. 940 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: James Johnson comes up quite a bit. He has a 941 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,439 Speaker 1: mural apparently in his house of some blazed cartoon characters. 942 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 943 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: Actually I think it was Hey Arnold. I think it 944 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: was Hey Rdell with his old football head. Look at 945 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: all crazy Number two candidate Kelly Olennok, look at him. 946 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 3: One hundred percent agree with that one. 947 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: But if I were guessing, if I were guessing the 948 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: teammate that gave Dion Waders that gummy, it was Dion Waiters. 949 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: That's my suspicion. 950 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I don't even get this story at all. 951 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 2: That part of the story. Where did it come from? 952 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 2: Who benefits from that? 953 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 5: Wow? 954 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 3: Oh, let me put on my tin foil half. For sure, 955 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 3: I think pat Riley the gummy. Well, but now why 956 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 3: because you said it that that that big bonus, that 957 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 3: one point two million OAR bonus that he could have 958 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 3: in theory hit how he played seventy plus games. Well 959 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 3: you can take that off the table. Now, see you later. 960 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,720 Speaker 3: And remember that video pat Riley and Dwayne Wade dancing 961 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 3: and like all dressed up as genies or something. Like 962 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 3: that there were some gummies being consumed. 963 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 5: I think when that was happening, the only thing with 964 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 5: that is I think would have been a little suspicious 965 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 5: of coming from from the boss. So I think what 966 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 5: happened was the boss went to Tyler hero and said, hey, 967 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 5: you want a few more minutes, because you know, him 968 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 5: and Dion have kind of been, you know, like squabbling 969 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 5: a bit over a minute or or Dion's felt that 970 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 5: the pressure come from Tyler. So I think's going let's uh, 971 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 5: let's call it true. See, let's let's split some gummies. 972 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 5: Man take him, take him. 973 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 2: Such a weird that's such a weird.

Uh Lee, who you got for for 1015 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 3: losers the weekend? 1016 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 5: Okay, this is a tough one. J Moran Jam. 1017 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, job. 1018 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: He sat out. 1019 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,240 Speaker 5: He sat out on Saturday night for rest. After Friday 1020 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 5: night he played twenty seven minutes against the Orlando Magic 1021 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 5: and they got killed, And the official reason from the 1022 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,800 Speaker 5: Memphis gruz pr was rest. I mean he's resting already. 1023 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 2: I know. 1024 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: I know. 1025 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 5: He had a minor and knee surgery in the summer, 1026 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 5: and the Grizzly said, we want to take it. You know, 1027 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 5: we're going to take care man. But come on, man, 1028 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,359 Speaker 5: after a bad loss to a bad team, you've got 1029 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 5: to get your young star. I think just out there 1030 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 5: playing it. He had a bad game. You want to 1031 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 5: wash that one off and get out there and play again. 1032 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 5: If he's injured, Say he's injured, that's fine. 1033 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: He had an ARS surgery in the summer, that's I know. 1034 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,840 Speaker 5: I just said that, and they said that coming in, like, 1035 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 5: you know, we want to be precautionary. But it just 1036 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,319 Speaker 5: feels to me a little bit like just say, you 1037 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 5: know what, he got banged up on Friday night and 1038 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 5: he's injured. To rest him already, come on the Grizzlies. 1039 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 5: The Grizzlies haven't got that sort of pool yet where 1040 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 5: they can start saying, oh, we're resting our rookie. You 1041 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 5: know if look if Lebron, four time MVP, three time 1042 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 5: champs says, you know what, I need a rest after 1043 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 5: a back to back or on a back to back, fine, 1044 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 5: he's earned it. The Grizzlies they need to impress people. 1045 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 5: They need to get their young star out there playing. 1046 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 5: If he's injured, as I say, fine, you shouldn't be playing. 1047 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 5: But if he's not injured, and it's just like, ah, yeah, 1048 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 5: he's just had a few nine games into his career. 1049 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 5: He's a bit gassed. No thanks, get him out there 1050 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 5: and play. He's only playing twenty seven minutes at night. Yeah, 1051 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 5: that's on the season. So that's more a disappointment rather 1052 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 5: than a loser. If there's such a thing. Because no, 1053 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 5: because when I saw it, when I saw it came 1054 00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 5: through on the tweets and said rest, I'm like, are 1055 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 5: you serious? You're resting your rookie already? And so I 1056 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 5: looked into it and that's what I found. I say, Okay, 1057 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 5: so not a complete truck. Rest him at the end 1058 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 5: of the season after maybe seventy five, well, don't worry, no, 1059 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 5: I know, but that's fine that you know, if that 1060 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 5: point where he's gone through a season and maybe he's 1061 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 5: got a few bumps and bruises, this early in the season, 1062 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 5: it's almost sending a message like and against the Mavericks 1063 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 5: on a back to back, it's like, that's a winnable game. 1064 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 5: It's not like, you know, like the Grizzlies have been 1065 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 5: playing well enough that it's like you've got to get 1066 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 5: these wins. You've got to show that you know, your 1067 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 5: young players are learning the game. You're not going to 1068 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 5: get any benefit more than being on the court and playing. 1069 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 5: So I hope it doesn't. I hope this doesn't become 1070 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 5: a thing. And he's he's out for twenty games this season, 1071 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 5: for rest again. If he's injured, that's different story altogether. 1072 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be a thing. Hit 1073 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: three games and fortunates for the Grizzlies, And uh, what's 1074 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: his name, ESPN Bradford. I can only or a Basterholm sorry, 1075 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: had that big thing of the summer about youth basketball 1076 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: and hard These guys have played more basketball than anybody 1077 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,280 Speaker 1: plays in the NBA before they even get to the NBA, 1078 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: so even young guys are at a disadvantage from. 1079 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 2: And then part of the article is that they have 1080 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 2: degenerative joints all right as kids. 1081 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: So I do think that you're gonna see rookies resting 1082 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: more often because they're gonna be looking at an at 1083 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: A player's career is not going to be from their 1084 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: draft until the end of their NBA career. It's going 1085 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: to be from when they started playing basketball. And people 1086 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: are gonna start looking at the science of this and 1087 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 1: saying they're playing four games in two nights over the weekend. 1088 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,920 Speaker 1: That's too much. People are trying to slow down the 1089 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: games in youth basketball. And then if it's leading to 1090 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: rest in the NBA, surely people will be even more 1091 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: adamant about tapering that kind of stuff down because you 1092 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: exactly right, exactly right, And if people are more cognizant 1093 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,240 Speaker 1: of the youth playing too much, they're gonna be cognizant 1094 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 1: of a guy who's twenty years old not getting burnt 1095 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 1: out before he's been in the league for anything. So yeah, 1096 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean it's weird. It's definitely weird, but I think 1097 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get used to it. 1098 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 2: Well. On Wednesday when we get to our mail bag show, 1099 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,399 Speaker 2: I know we're talking on emails a little bit after 1100 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 2: this show, but which which emails are going to go 1101 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 2: into that show? But there was a great email about 1102 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 2: load management and about basketball being difficult on the joints, 1103 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 2: et cetera. So listening to that on Stepping on the 1104 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 2: Beach on the Wednesday mail Bag show. But I would 1105 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,840 Speaker 2: I will say it is odd coming off the Kawhi 1106 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 2: Leonard thing. The load management was such a big story 1107 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 2: that they just wouldn't put John Morant bracket knee and 1108 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 2: then the story is done, and then you don't have 1109 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 2: podcasters out there in the world saying WHOA, what's going on? 1110 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 2: That's all you got to do. 1111 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 5: Exactly right, And that's my point. I think that would 1112 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 5: have been so easy for them to just say, you know, 1113 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 5: in the lost the night before, his knee was a 1114 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 5: bit sore, so we're going to rest him for or 1115 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,959 Speaker 5: sit him out for this game.

This is a quick one, a real quick 1150 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 2: one here for Tree Young because I do want to 1151 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 2: just mention a bit of the low lights, because he's 1152 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,280 Speaker 2: got a bit of a god status on this podcast 1153 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 2: three weeks into this season, a lot of talk about him, 1154 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 2: how great he's been. They go into Portland on Sunday night, 1155 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 2: Portland desperate for a win. They get it in a 1156 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 2: close one down to the wire. Trey Young hits a 1157 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 2: three with about two minutes left and he's telling everyone 1158 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 2: in the Motus Center to sh He signals to the 1159 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 2: crowd to hush, I love it. Yeah. They go up 1160 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 2: to and they lose. How about you win? 1161 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,640 Speaker 3: Come on? 1162 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:51,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quick. 1163 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I expect that team. 1164 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's I'm being biased because I want 1165 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,279 Speaker 2: this team to make the postseason. And now they're sitting 1166 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 2: at three and seven, especially with the John Hollins yeah 1167 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 2: hgh scenario, and it's going to be tough for them 1168 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 2: or the three and six. 1169 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, but. 1170 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 2: He was close. He was close to a victory. And 1171 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,880 Speaker 2: don't take your eyes off the prize. 1172 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: Does that's all you know? 1173 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 2: You know, am I associating that with being a little 1174 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 2: bit a little short sighted? Yeah, I guess, but it's 1175 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 2: just a hush. I get it. But still, look, I 1176 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 2: hate win that game. 1177 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: Complaint to noise complaints are the worst that they're coming 1178 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,919 Speaker 1: from the people next door. If they're coming from Trey Young, 1179 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: it looks like he's pointing at a specific person in 1180 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: the crowd, you specifically be quiet. 1181 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 1182 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: He almost pulled it off for the Hawks down to stretch. 1183 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: You know, he had a couple of back to back 1184 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,919 Speaker 1: pick and roll plays weren't looked like the identical play, 1185 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: and he fooled the Blazers both times as like he 1186 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: faked in at the center. One time they jumped out 1187 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 1: of him, he drops it off for the dunk. The 1188 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 1: next time the center hangs back, he floats it off 1189 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,680 Speaker 1: the glass next to pull it off. But that was 1190 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: awesome in the third quarter watching Tray and Anperony Simon's 1191 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: go back to that was amazing. 1192 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 3: We would and if the Hawks had pulled out this win, 1193 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 3: we would have been talking about Jabari Parker here today, 1194 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 3: who had a great game in the loss twenty seven 1195 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 3: and eleven with some defense in there. Two steals, four blocks. 1196 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,399 Speaker 3: That's nearly a woe boy line right there. But yeah, 1197 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 3: Trey overall did not have a great night in the 1198 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 3: Motor Center nine for thirty seven turnovers. The you know, 1199 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,880 Speaker 3: the final line looks good with the thirty five and 1200 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 3: ten and eight, but yeah, not a great night for him. 1201 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 3: Mine is seventeen too, if you put anything into the 1202 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 3: old plus minus. Okay, so just just tray, get a 1203 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 3: little ahead of. 1204 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,239 Speaker 2: Let's win some games. Now you're a god. Yeah, let's win. 1205 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, And then they got absolutely hammered in the overtime period. 1206 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 3: That tends to happen sometimes in the NBA for some 1207 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,240 Speaker 3: weird reason, you get a tie game after four quarters 1208 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 3: and then suddenly just one team crushes the team. 1209 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 1: And yeah, in overtime. Probably also wouldn't have been an 1210 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: overtime game if CJ. McCollum just went out of bounce 1211 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: and like he you know, he had that save and 1212 00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 1: it was a basically an assist to Kevin herd or 1213 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: wide open in the corner. 1214 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 2: That was fine. 1215 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 5: That was and then yet the layup off of that too, 1216 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:57,399 Speaker 5: he was great. 1217 00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 1: He was great. 1218 00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 5: Red velvet, Oh yeah. 1219 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 1: That's rudful. 1220 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 3: That's who you thought I was gonna say when I 1221 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 3: say yes, right, and Barker Andherder had good games, all right. 1222 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 3: So that's our winners and losers of the NBA weekend. 1223 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 3: Tell us who we missed?

That's 1237 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 2: a rare occurrence for any team. They said they felt 1238 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 2: they had an obligation to convey their frustrations to fans. 1239 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 2: The two executives said owner James Dolan is supportive of 1240 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 2: the team's current state and trajectory. Now that leads into 1241 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 2: the tweets that's when a fan named Arthur Cors tweeted, 1242 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 2: Dolan doesn't play offense or defense and has spent a 1243 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 2: ridiculous amount of money on coaches, assistant coaches, and gms 1244 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 2: that everyone approved of when these professionals were hired, and 1245 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 2: he has spent the cap every year on player salaries. 1246 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,280 Speaker 2: Dolan is not the problem to which the ringers Jason 1247 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 2: Concepcion replied. If a team sucks for a couple of years, 1248 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,839 Speaker 2: maybe that's on the coach. If it sucks for five 1249 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 2: or six years, that's on management. If it sucks for 1250 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,080 Speaker 2: twenty plus years, that's on the person hiring the managers. 1251 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,600 Speaker 2: That's your tweet of the night. 1252 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,439 Speaker 1: I think, Jason, big facts, straight nail. 1253 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 5: Weird weekend for the Knicks, super impressive win. 1254 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 3: I was ready earlier in the weekend to come in 1255 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 3: here and give the Knicks a winner of the weekend 1256 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 3: because I thought that win over the MAVs was like 1257 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 3: going to be one of their two Super Bowls. Beating Porzingis. 1258 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1259 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,799 Speaker 3: I was like, Wow, that's a huge, huge win for 1260 00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,799 Speaker 3: what's going to be a crappy next season. And then 1261 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 3: they I couldn't after this Cavs lost and then this 1262 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 3: with the with them talking. 1263 00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 5: To the meeting and pozingis is back at Madison Squay 1264 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,880 Speaker 5: gotten on Wednesday night.

Because 1270 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:15,200 Speaker 5: which way could go on? 1271 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 3: And so and so? What look Mills and Perry coming out. 1272 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 3: You know, they talked to James Dolan during the game. 1273 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 3: They all left their seats. There is no doubt they 1274 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 3: had a conversation. Assuming Dolan said, you guys are going 1275 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 3: to talk to the media because they don't know. This 1276 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 3: is very unnixed, Like they just avoid the media at 1277 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,919 Speaker 3: all costs, you know, all of these guys. But they 1278 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 3: go out and they you know, an impromptu sort of 1279 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 3: press conference here to say, yeah, we're disappointed. That's all 1280 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 3: they said. Uh but what fizdel has what ten more 1281 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 3: games here? 1282 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: He might have one more game? 1283 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1284 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:48,239 Speaker 3: Really? You think? 1285 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: So they play the balls tomorrow if they lose to 1286 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: the Balls. Honestly, I feel like whoever loses that game 1287 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,320 Speaker 1: tomorrow night, the balls are the next coach is getting 1288 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: fired because thank you to the Knicks for being this bad. 1289 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,720 Speaker 1: They didn't have any expectations coming into the year. Everybody 1290 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: thought they were going to be terrible. But their management 1291 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: is coming out and saying, oh, we're so sorry. We 1292 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: still support the team. We had a good plan, but 1293 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,200 Speaker 1: we're not happy where we are. The Bulls actually had 1294 00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 1: expectations this year. They have one more win this season. 1295 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 1: They're three and seven. They've got the exact same thing 1296 00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 1: going on in their front office as the Knicks do, 1297 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,000 Speaker 1: where if you're bad for a little bit, maybe it's 1298 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: the coaches. If you're bad for a little bit, maybe 1299 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,800 Speaker 1: it's the GMS, or if you're bad for a long time, 1300 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: it's the owners. But the Bulls have not come out 1301 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 1: and said anything. They lost to the Knicks this year. Yeah, 1302 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 1: so the Bulls are happy to be skating by, but 1303 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens tomorrow. In the dumbest game of 1304 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,040 Speaker 1: the year so far. 1305 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 5: You have to figure that given the Bulls history of 1306 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 5: not wanting to pay out guys at boiling because this 1307 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,319 Speaker 5: is only the first year of like a three year deal, 1308 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:50,080 Speaker 5: he's probably that's right. He's probably got a little more 1309 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 5: leeway than than Fizz, because Fizz is think even the 1310 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 5: second year of a third so well in. 1311 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: The Knicks obviously care about appearances a little bit more. 1312 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 1: If they're coming out after ten games of a season 1313 00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,000 Speaker 1: that everybody expected you to win the first two games 1314 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,280 Speaker 1: out of ten. I mean, a twenty percent win percentage 1315 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 1: isn't unheard of for the next this year. But they 1316 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,800 Speaker 1: had to say something. I suppose do you put can you. 1317 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 3: Put any blame on fizzdel for time? 1318 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1319 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got to play harder at home to get 1320 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 2: blown out like that, and it's it's not the first 1321 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 2: time this season. 1322 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 5: But then how do we explain Friday night where they 1323 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 5: did play super hard? I mean because a coach that 1324 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 5: they kept kept talking about consistency and you either. 1325 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 3: Lose, lose all the time, or or win all. 1326 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,919 Speaker 5: But it doesn't matter. You know what the coach is saying. 1327 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 5: If guys like, hey, we're playing pausingis don't let him 1328 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 5: beat us. You know he wanted to leave you guys. 1329 00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 5: He thinks you guys are joking. They go out and 1330 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 5: play super hard. Then they see the Cavs on the 1331 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 5: roster on their schedule, who cares? I mean, there's not 1332 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 5: much fizdel can do if guys are simply not going 1333 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 5: to put in the effort. 1334 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's his job. 1335 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 2: That's a job. 1336 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 3: No. 1337 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 2: Third time this season twenty plus yeah, losing by twenty 1338 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 2: plus more at home, especially. 1339 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 5: I think I think he is a good coach, but 1340 00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 5: I think he's also you know, I mean, you're the 1341 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 5: US if you play. 1342 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,160 Speaker 2: Us, Yeah, hey, winner of the weekend.

But looking back, 1408 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 3: just quickly, at friday night's game, it was the Heat 1409 01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 3: Lakers game. Lakers were favored by eight and a half. Tray, 1410 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,400 Speaker 3: you got that one right, and the Lakers took care 1411 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 3: of business. Everybody else here had the heat, So that's 1412 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 3: a loss. Trey and I are three and three, casting 1413 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 3: lead two and four six games on. I think tonight, 1414 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:10,800 Speaker 3: what's our game. 1415 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 2: Tests a very similar line to what happened on Friday night. 1416 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 2: The Lakers were favored by eight and a half or 1417 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 2: the Heat. The Clippers are favored by ten and a 1418 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 2: half over the visiting Toronto Raptors tonight. It seems like 1419 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 2: a juicy line. Toronto Raptors are seven and two. They're 1420 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 2: ten and a half point underdogs. Shocking. No Paul Georgian 1421 01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 2: this once for the Clippers. They're sort of expecting him 1422 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 2: to come back. Obviously, the Raptors without Kyle Lowry and 1423 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 2: Serge Obaka, but Kawhi Leonard's playing. You know that. It's 1424 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 2: the revenge game. 1425 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 5: Is good. 1426 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say a revenge game, but the old meeting 1427 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,040 Speaker 2: of the mines, the old the old meet between the 1428 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 2: former player and his team. 1429 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 3: Did the Raptors go out and celebrate last night's team 1430 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 3: victory over the Lakers? They go? Did they? 1431 01:01:59,280 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Did? 1432 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,840 Speaker 3: They meet up with Madio and go watch a Sloan concert? 1433 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,360 Speaker 3: But that's the real question to be how much did 1434 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,919 Speaker 3: they enjoy that La night life? Saturday? 1435 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: All right? 1436 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:14,680 Speaker 3: Well, I mean you want to get started. 1437 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 5: It doesn't. 1438 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:17,320 Speaker 3: It's tough. 1439 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,200 Speaker 5: That is very tough. I think the Raptors that we have. 1440 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:20,760 Speaker 2: A come of that. 1441 01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 3: Okay, so Raptors will lose by less than ten or 1442 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 3: get the win. I'm with you, Lee, I'm going Raptors 1443 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 3: as well. 1444 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: I am going to take the Los Angeles Clippers. Three 1445 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: road games in four nights for the Toronto Raptors. They're 1446 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 1: banged up already. How much Chris Bousche can you get 1447 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: in La or? 1448 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 3: Hollis Jefferson again in the post? 1449 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: Exactly right? 1450 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you got clips to funny.

Is that a good thing? 1453 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,439 Speaker 2: Who the heck knows? They are going to get beat 1454 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 2: at some point. But it's just hard to bet against 1455 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 2: this Raptors team to lose by more than ten.
