1
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Guys, you start there.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: I had my first date with her and there he

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: can do and it was a disaster.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 3: I have that the restaud first about.

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: Her name is Kimberlet for Kimberle. It's not my favorite name.

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: But it's fine.

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: It's fine, you know.

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: It's she's pretty, you know.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: So we sit down, we take the menu, and and

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 4: she looks me in the eyes and she tells me

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 4: she doesn't eat glutin. If you don't eat plutin, but

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 4: how can you not cheat mutine? Gluten is my life, Kimberly,

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: Gluten is is hoot, Gluten is his bugget.

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: How can you not eat blutin?

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 4: So I'm starting to be confused.

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie.

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 5: Oh, I look left and look right.

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm a bit.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 4: Confused in this restaurant. And then I'm like, okay, I'm

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: gonna have some glass of wine. You know, I could

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: chill a little bit, you know. And so I said,

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: you want to drink? And she says me, she doesn't

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: drink alcohol, or how.

24
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 6: Can you not drink alcohol in your life? Timberlein, Alcohol

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 6: is joy. Love the Whiney's the joy.

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 5: So I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 6: If I left I left the restaurant without saying goodbye.

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 5: I couldn't stay there.

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but I can't have a love relationship.

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 6: With someone who doesn't eat good Den and doesn't drink whine.

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,399

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's jump right into the action. A million games on

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: last night, great action, a lot of fun ones to

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: talk about. And we'll start with the last game of

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: the night, and that was Pacers rookie Andrew Nempard hitting

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: a three at the buzzer as the Pacers task stun

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers one sixteen, one fifteen. They were down seventeen

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: points with ten minutes to go. A lot of people

55
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: probably went to bed, at least on the East Coast,

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe some international viewers.

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: It was over.

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: But the Pacers come back.

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: The Lakers fell apart in every which way. When you

60
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: watched the tape, offensive rebounds, guys walking into three pointers

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: and then Tyres Haliburton with the pass after that offensive rebound,

62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: which I was very confused how that fell to the floor.

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 3: A great tip out, but Tyrus Haliburton the patience to wait,

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: an wait and wait anyway, kind of like Marcus Smart

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: did in the final seconds of the Celtics Nets game

66
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: last year, Game one, if you remember, hit Jason Tatum

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: the last second to win that game. He waited patiently

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: found Nemhard for a wide open three that was way

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: too open for an offensive rebound. Unfortunately, I guess Lebron

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: did get there in the end. But good they fell

71
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: apart in every which way. This was just one of

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: those losses that feels like it is more than just

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: a loss. It feels pretty big for the Lakers right now, I imagine.

74
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: According to ESPN's win probability chart tray, the Lakers had

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: a ninety nine point one percent chance of winning the

77
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: game when I guess it was Wheny and Gabriel dunked

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: at home to put them up seventeen with like ten

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the game.

80
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 7: I've always said, when when gave reel throws went down

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 7: halfway through the fourth quarter, you should win that game. Yeah,

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 7: but man, Tass is right. The Lakers just completely fell apart.

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 7: Bald movement non existent the last six minutes of this game.

84
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 7: But even worse was the transition defense. A lot of

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 7: it was laziness getting back on defense, like actually running

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 7: hard and getting back, but even more of it I

87
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 7: thought was complete disorganization. There are so many wide open

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 7: pacers threes where two guys run to a wide open

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 7: shooter on the wing, they dish it to the corner

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 7: or the other way around.

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: The Pacers were able.

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 7: To get a lot of really really good looks in

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter, they went six to thirteen from three,

94
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 7: and it was mostly the Lakers just shooting themselves in

95
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 7: the foot, bad possessions on offense, which then gave the

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 7: Pacers a chance to run out in transition and find

97
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 7: open shooters. And then Tyrese Halliburton is just on another

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 7: level right now. Three games forty assists, zero turnovers, and

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 7: you saw the decision making there on that last play

100
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 7: when he finally decides to get the pass off. There's

101
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 7: like one point six seconds left, but he puts an

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 7: incredible amount of zip on it to find them hard

103
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 7: wide open there for three You get the ball with

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 7: that little time left, nothing to do but shoot it. Yeah, yeah,

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 7: mind clear, trying to think of something that rhymes with

106
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 7: clear from switching through the nets.

107
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: It'll come to me eventually.

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: The Pacers broadcaster, Quinn Buckner, he even says during that

109
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: final play, Oh, no, he held onto it too long,

110
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: talking about Haliburton like trying to like find a shot.

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: He's thinking about his step back, but he's got a

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: weird slow release, so he doesn't made me feel that

113
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: confident about setting it up. So even Buckner, the Pacers broadcaster,

114
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: is like, I think he just like held onto it

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: too long before he zipped it across the court to Nempart,

116
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: who just let it go instantaneously and just switched it pure.

117
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, both broadcasting crews couldn't believe this happened because Westbrook

118
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: had a three with three minutes left and Lakers broadcast

119
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: huge shot and Stu Land said, well, you got to

120
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: slow your flow. I mean literally said relax, we're only

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: up nine. But they were looking for every big shot

122
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: to kind of seal the deal. And that's the problem

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: with the Lakers. They don't want to do the nitty gritty,

124
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: do the dirty work. Too many offensive rebounds down the stretch.

125
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: They're not scrambling enough. And yeah, Tyree's aliburn. Looking at

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: that zip on that pass, it was a lefty pass right,

127
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: it felt it looked like it was his left hand.

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: I had to look a bunch of times to see

129
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: because the way he zips it, you know, it's a

130
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: twenty five foot pass, it's got to be a left

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: handed pass. And he puts it on the money and

132
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: it works out perfectly. But that ball shouldn't have been

133
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: there in the first place. They shouldn't have got an

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: offensive rebound like that, and it's it's Haliburton to be

135
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 3: able to get there and make it happen. He just

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: he has a kN act for it. Obviously, we've been

137
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: talking about it, and the Pacers just went to a

138
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: desperation lineup of four Tinies and Miles Turner and then

139
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: it matches well with against the Lakers Anthony Davis and

140
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: you know, four smalls. But Anthony Davis didn't want to

141
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: as healthy as he's been. That's why I kind of

142
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: look big picture here with the Lakers. Anthony Davis has

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: been fairly healthy. He's playing the five, but it's it's

144
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: tough for him to do it every single minute. And

145
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: you saw what happened in the last six minutes. The

146
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: defense was not altogether and it was shruder Westbrook in

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: the back court there to go along with Lebron and

148
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: Ad plus Troy Brown or Austin Reeves is the fifth guy,

149
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: and they just weren't all together. So again, this feels bad.

150
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: December is bad for the Lakers. They have ten games

151
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: away from home, four games at home. How do you

152
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: think that's gonna play it?

153
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Right?

154
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: So they go from a potential eight and eleven to

155
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: now seven and twelve which is I know we've called

156
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: their season. You know, Trey called it done a few

157
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: weeks ago. It feels pretty close to done. And maybe

158
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: Rob Pulinka is a genius for not trying to trade

159
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: some of his draft picks because he could see that

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: this team wasn't gonna come all together. And that's what

161
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: happened in this one. This team is all apart.

162
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Fans are definitely going to focus on the game winner,

163
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: the buzzer beating three from Nemhard, But there were two

164
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: previous Pacers buckets that I thought the Lakers defense was

165
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: far more egregious. You brought up one. I think they're

166
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Trey where there's like two fifteen left, and it was

167
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: the Pacers in semi transition and it was Shrewder and Westbrook.

168
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: They both went and picked up Buddy Healed, like just

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: terrible communication in transition, and it left Nemhard wide open

170
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: to step into a three in the exact same spot

171
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: he would go on to hit the buzzer beating three.

172
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: That was bad. And then forty four seconds left, Pacers ball,

173
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: they're still down two. After a timeout, Halliburton just had

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: a straight line drive to the hoop. I mean there

175
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: was a high pick and roll, but there wasn't a

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: lot of contact on the pick and he just and

177
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: there was zero resistance from any help defense coming over,

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: being a lebron Or at eighty and he just laid

179
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: it in. It was TI game just like that was

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: like way too easy. And then of course the game

181
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: winner in the end. But yeah, the defense just so

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: they gave up thirty two points in the final ten minutes.

183
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: And credit to the Pacers caught fire there a little bit,

184
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of these were easy, easy looks. So

185
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: rough rough game from La and back to Helliburton. The

186
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: forty as sists and zero turnovers. I was thinking, I'm like,

187
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: this is like Chris Paul shit here, Like this is

188
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: like point god type stuff. So I went and checked

189
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Chris Paul's third season in the NBA, just out of curiosity.

190
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: Has he ever done this like in his third year,

191
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: because that's when Chris Paul turned into an ulstar. That's

192
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: when Chris Paul started leading the league and assists. And

193
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't find a stretch like this where Chris Paul

194
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: had three games with zero turnovers. In fact, Chris Paul

195
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: had six games that entire third season when he blost

196
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: him into an all stair there with New Orleans where

197
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: he had ten plus assists in zero turnovers, five in

198
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: the regular season, one in the playoffs. So he did

199
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: it a couple times, but this just illustrates to strim

200
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: together three consecutive games of that.

201
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 7: You could check every single player in NBA has never

202
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 7: been done. It's never been done before. Three straight games

203
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 7: with forty assists and zero turnovers. And then I mean,

204
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 7: I haven't looked at Chris Paul's there gear stats recently,

205
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 7: but I imagine that Tyre's Halliburton is outscoring him and

206
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 7: is a better shooter from outside like he is playing

207
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 7: Chris Paul style basketball, with the way he pushes the pace,

208
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 7: with the way he he just.

209
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,239
Speaker 2: Gets off the ball immediately.

210
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 7: If a guy's open, it's a dish to him right away,

211
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 7: with a lot of pace on the pass to get

212
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 7: the shot as open as possible. And then he's able

213
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 7: to score, which is pretty impressive considering, you know, he

214
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 7: doesn't have a quick release, but he's still able to

215
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 7: get to his shots. And he's just got the pacers

216
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 7: really really cooking right now.

217
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: Chris Paul third year with New Orleans averaged twenty one

218
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: point one points per game, eleven point six assists, two

219
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: point seven steals. He also led the league in that category.

220
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: He was damn good.

221
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: And Haliburton's like putting up very very similar numbers here.

222
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: Percentage wise, he was even better Haliburton so far than

223
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: a third year Chris Paul There still incredible.

224
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: It is incredible, and watching him is fun and obviously

225
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: playing with him must be super fun. And that's why

226
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: these Spacers are rolling at twelve and eight quarterway through

227
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: the season here to have twelve wins, they're halfway to

228
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: their over undertotal, which was projected to be twenty four

229
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: and a half. That's nice to be at this point.

230
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's so many guys you could talk about

231
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: with this team. Obviously their backcourt of the future in

232
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: Halliburton and Ben Mathrin, who continues to come off the

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: bench even though he, like Haliburton, never rushes a thing,

234
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: totally under control, totally doesn't need to shoot every shot.

235
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: And I guess when you're you got a guy like

236
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: Haliburton playing beside you, you know the passes are coming,

237
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: you know you don't have to be a ball hog

238
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: in anyway, and things are looking good and then you

239
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: got this this young Canadian coming off the bench playing

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 3: really really well, Andrew Nemhart, who's got that silent B

241
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: in his last name in between them and Hard. I

242
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 3: wanted them to capitalize it after the game, you know,

243
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: just just to kind of stick at to Lebron Ron. Oh, exactly,

244
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: you stick it to Lebron. There was going into the game.

245
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: There was the trash stock. They went back pre season

246
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: to get Ben Mathern's quote. Everybody, everybody grabs this quote

247
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: and says Ben and said in this interview that Lebron

248
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: isn't as good as Essentially what he said was, listen,

249
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: I think I'm as good as anybody. Lebron I would

250
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 3: see him on the floor. I don't think I'm as

251
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: good as anybody. That's essentially what he said. And so

252
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: he had a better game than Ron last night. Yeah right, Yeah,

253
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: Lebron wasn't perfect in the last few a few minutes there.

254
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: Nobody was perfect on that team except Andrew nem capital

255
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: b don't pronounce it hard.

256
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: I wish Aurora Ontario's finest.

257
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

258
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: No offense to Lester B. Pearson, who I believe grew

259
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: up there.

260
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: For a while, I went to school, went to Vaughn

261
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: at Devonn's High School that's been renamed. But uh, yeah,

262
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: he's all over the GTA Aurora. You don't hear that,

263
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: very No, you don't.

264
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I I didn't know that. TSN broadcasters James Duffy

265
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: and Dutchy were also from Arroyo.

266
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do remember Duchy coming back working at TSN.

267
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: It was probably May evening. He can aim to work

268
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: and he said, ah, the first shirtless run of the summer.

269
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: People were honking at me in downtown Aurora, Ontario. Wow,

270
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: who we're talking about right now?

271
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: You're definitely Canadian and you're definitely a sportsco All right,

272
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: let's keep it.

273
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: He is, he is esp and Junior's big personality. It's

274
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: being Canadi. I shouldn't say Junior. That's disrespectful. So what okay?

275
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: For American listeners and viewers, who would you compare Duchy

276
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: to the best?

277
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: The best?

278
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: So? Like, who what Darren? Darren?

279
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: I can't say his Lastian?

280
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, Dutchy, Yeah, dutch Dutchy. Duchy and Hedgri

281
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: were the eleven o'clock Timetime.

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick, Like would he have been the equivalent? I

283
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: guess that's all of them.

284
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: There's so many. Now it's different. Now, it's different, all right.

285
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 8: Anyway, And as you're looking at his Wikipedia page or something,

286
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 8: I don't know, Well, I see that he hosted the

287
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 8: evening edition of Sports Center spelled Ri alongside co host

288
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 8: Jennifer Hedger.

289
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: Said, yeah, they were powerfuls.

290
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 7: Dutchy and Hedgy that's what they call him. I mean, sure,

291
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 7: Dutchy and Heggy at eleven.

292
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: We've made lots of Jen hedging a bet jokes here.

293
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually didn't know the basis of

294
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 7: it until this Wikipedia search.

295
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: Right now, but I'm glad to finally be hip.

296
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's keep it going. Porzingis scores forty

297
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: one career high forty one for the Unicorn as the

298
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: Wizards beat the Wolves after Carl Anthony Towns gets hurt,

299
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: which I know. We'll take a second, but you want

300
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: to start with Washington.

301
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 7: You want to go right to the injury there, TK, Well,

302
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 7: let's start with Washington here, because the Wizards did score

303
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 7: seventy seven points in the first half of this game

304
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 7: when both Carl Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert were still playing.

305
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 7: Porzingis had twenty nine in the first half, finished with

306
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 7: nine for nine from the free throw line, seven of

307
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 7: nine from the field just in the first half. Asked

308
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 7: him afterwards about getting his career high, and he's like, yeah,

309
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 7: I was feeling good, but I was worried I wasn't

310
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 7: gonna get it because we were blowing him.

311
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: Up by thirty in the second half.

312
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 7: So a tough one here for the timber Wolves. Literally,

313
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 7: on yesterday's show, I was like, let's give these guys

314
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 7: a break. They came off a win streak, lost a

315
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 7: couple of games. Who cares a little bit less of

316
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 7: a break today because to give up seventy seven points

317
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 7: to the Wizards in the first half, you're just not

318
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 7: trying hard enough and you have zero chemistry right now,

319
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 7: and we're a quarter of the way into the season,

320
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 7: Like something should change at this point. It feels still

321
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 7: like the first game of the season for the timber

322
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 7: Wolves a lot of the time. And I think they

323
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 7: were just assuming with Rudy Gobert coming over, we're gonna

324
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 7: have a good defense, we're gonna be able to rebound.

325
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 7: But they're skipping steps and I don't know, it's a

326
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 7: fortunate I suppose that the news is that Karl Anthony

327
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 7: Town's only suffered a calf strain in this one, because

328
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 7: when you see a guy reach for the back of

329
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 7: his leg with nobody around, you're thinking an Achilley's injury

330
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 7: of some sort right away. That would be the absolute

331
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 7: worst here, though it just if it ends up being

332
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 7: just a calf strain and he's not out for a

333
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 7: ton of time, it's still a problem for the timber

334
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 7: Wolves because they'll be missing Towns, but more importantly, like

335
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 7: they won't be able to build any sort of chemistry

336
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 7: until he's back, because they need to have Edwards, go

337
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 7: Bear and Towns on the court to figure out a

338
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 7: way that they can be the best that they can

339
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 7: possibly be. They haven't figured it out yet, and now

340
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 7: they got another road blocking the way.

341
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Yep, the injury did look at first like, oh my god,

342
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: was that a rupture Achilles? The way he like, yeah,

343
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: looked back, who killed around? It's the classic thing, yeah,

344
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: non contact here it is where he's coming back up

345
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the floor and just like ah, but he grabs a

346
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: little higher and you know they are saying calf strained.

347
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: So still I could keep him out for a little

348
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: bit but not the worst baby.

349
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he wasn't withering in pain. He was kind

350
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: of quiet on the floor afterwards. He was just silent.

351
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: And Dane Moore, who covers the Wolves, went into the

352
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: body language of Karl Anthony town saying that usually when

353
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: he gets down on the floor, he's usually in pain,

354
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: he's verbally, he's demonstrative about it, and in this one

355
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: it felt that first, like, ah, this is different. This

356
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: is a serious one because he's not doing anything out there,

357
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: but obviously an incredible sign for the Timberwolves chemistries to

358
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: get it hurt. They are sort of a five hundred team,

359
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 3: and I wonder, you know, we all expected them to

360
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: be better and just assumed they would figure this thing out,

361
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: and maybe they will, but maybe they are a five

362
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 3: hundred team and that would be ridiculously unfortunate for what

363
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: they gave up for Rudy Gobert. But yeah, they have

364
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: lost some of that mojo from last year. That being set,

365
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: Kristaps Porzingis came out scorching. He hit threes on his

366
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: first three possessions. He just got the ball top.

367
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it helps when Rudy Gobert's ten feet away

368
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: from shots. I mean, it's a tough matchup for anyone,

369
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: especially Rudy, And you're right, he was just stepping into

370
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: wide open threes and he's feeling it.

371
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: The first one was challenged and it went down, and

372
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: then he came back on the next possession the Wizards

373
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: gone offensive rebound found him again bang, and then the

374
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: next vistion Bang. He hit four threes in the first

375
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 3: four minutes of this game, a career high. I was

376
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: expecting a potential three point record happening in this game.

377
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: He wasn't ridiculously far off. He hit four to threes

378
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: in the first four minutes, but only hit two threes

379
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: the rest of the way. What a bum No, he

380
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: obviously he slowed down, and yeah, twenty nine in the

381
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: first half, twelve in the second half. He was feeling it.

382
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 3: But he's also he's not just a three point shooter.

383
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 3: He was very much in control in the lane and

384
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: when they feed it to him, he's yeah, his body

385
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: controlled in there, doesn't try and do too much. He's

386
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 3: not not a lot of post play, but a lot

387
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 3: of pick and roll action and when and when him

388
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: and Beale are are driving together, Yeah, the he can

389
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: score that many points they're only eleven and ten, and

390
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: so yeah.

391
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: It's so funny, like the Wizards being eleven to ten,

392
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, pretty damn good. Yep, the Wolves being

393
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: what ten and eleven? Now after the loss, you're like, oh, god,

394
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: blow it all up?

395
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: What's wrong?

396
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: Oh they blew that with their trade. So yeah, you know,

397
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: that's expectations of what happened year before and come in.

398
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it's wild that the Wizards. I don't feel

399
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: like it gets talked about at all. The Wizards have

400
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: three twenty point per game scorers now in Porzingis, who's

401
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: been really really solid this year and I think is

402
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: making like a sneaky sort of quiet case for the

403
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: All Star team, but anyway, probably won't make it. Kyle

404
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: Kuzma scores over twenty games. And then of course Bradley

405
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: Beal still in like sort of an talk about a

406
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: quiet year for him. He's only scoring twenty three and

407
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: a half, only twenty three and a half, but he's

408
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: shooting fifty three percent from the floor and thirty eight

409
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: percent from three, so efficient efficients efficiently, he's doing really

410
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: really well as more of like sort of their playmaker too. There,

411
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: so three guys scoring over twenty.

412
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: It's surprising the headlines surrounding Bradley Beal are similar headlines

413
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: for the last few years. Right, it's when Bradley Beal

414
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: is out because he's missed a good chunk of their games.

415
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: You know, he's missed about twenty five percent of their games. Yeah,

416
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: is the offense a little bit better? Is a little

417
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 3: bit crisper without Bradley Beal where they move the ball

418
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: and it's definitely something to watch for. But he is

419
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 3: trying to find Christaps Porzingis and Kuzma can shoot whenever

420
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: he wants. And you still have connectors on that team

421
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 3: in Monte Morris. So listen, we all picked the over

422
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: for this team because we're all smart, which was you know,

423
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: a thirty three, thirty four win, a projection line. Porzingis

424
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: has to stay on the floor, and so far, so great.

425
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on Wiz or Wolves here. We'll wait

426
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: to find out the extent of Town's injury. I'd assume

427
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss a couple of games.

428
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 7: You would think you would think, so, I mean, I

429
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 7: think they called who knows, who knows what's gonna happen?

430
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: But did Marcus Smart have this type of injury where

431
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: we thought like it was maybe a ruptured achilles and

432
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: then it ended up being a cafstrain. I'm pretty sure

433
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: that happened last year.

434
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, but Kevin Durant also had thought it was a

435
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 7: cas strain ended up being an achilles. We saw Damian

436
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 7: Lillard had a calf strain earlier this year, right he

437
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 7: was out for he missed four games. I think he

438
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 7: came back had another calf strain, so they can linger

439
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 7: as well.

440
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: My only other.

441
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 7: Takeaway from this one twenty three points, eight rebounds, nine

442
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 7: a sis for Kuzma.

443
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: I love this guy. I'm a big Kuzma fan. Like

444
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: if you were picking random role.

445
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 7: Players, I guess he's probably more of like an elevated

446
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 7: role player. He is their third maybe tied for second

447
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 7: star uh with Porzingis.

448
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: But he's got such a good combination.

449
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 7: Of like size and skill and a little bit of

450
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 7: know how, like being there with the Lakers during the

451
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 7: championship years and learning how to play real winning basketball.

452
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 7: He's made himself into quite a player and he's gonna

453
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 7: be desirable I think during the trade deadline. But he

454
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 7: might not be traded by the Wizards just because they

455
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 7: like having him around.

456
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: He can fill in anywhere.

457
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Yep, good point. Some huge scoring performances in addition to Porzingis.

458
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: Last night in his forty one, we had Kevin Durant

459
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: scored forty five as he carried the Nets to the

460
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: one nine, one o two victory over the Magic and

461
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: then Devin Booker scored forty four as the Suns topped

462
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: the Kings one twenty two to one to seventeen for

463
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: Phoenix's fifth straight victory. Look, these were both awesome, awesome performances,

464
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: But which one was better? Was it? Katie or Booker?

465
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: Last night? Forty five or forty four? What you got?

466
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 3: Well, surprise what you got? Yeah, it's to me, It's

467
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: gotta be Katie. The efficiency was ridiculous. It felt like

468
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: he didn't miss because he was absolutely scorching. And yeah,

469
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: nineteen to twenty four, only five misses on this night

470
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: at forty five points, when every single Magic player and

471
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: their go go gadget arms were around. Kevin Durant. He

472
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 3: talked about that after the game. It's kind of hard

473
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: to get his shots off. He was he was talking

474
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 3: about even as a seven footer against this you know,

475
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 3: ban Caro Bowl bowl type of four or five combo

476
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 3: that they throw at him. But he was he was

477
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: ridiculously good.

478
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: He was. He was laughing at one point while he

479
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: was scoring, like maniacally laughing. Yes, the idea of being

480
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: stopped Von Harris, come on, come on, come on, hit

481
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: me in the face.

482
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: You're not even Gary Harris, Cavan Harris.

483
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

484
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, he was all up in in Katie's grill.

485
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: Katie chuckled and then went right by him and scored. Yeah,

486
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: he's he's on one. He is absolutely in that VP

487
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 3: conversation if you want to extend it to teams that

488
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: are five hundred, which is like every team in the league.

489
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 3: But the Nets are five hundred for the first time

490
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: since Game two of the season when they were one

491
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 3: and one. So they're playing better and they get the

492
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: Wizards in their next game, a battle of the near

493
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: five hundred teams here in the Eastern Conference, so they

494
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: could bump up. I was just watching that and that

495
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: was just that was vintage KD. That was perfect KT

496
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 3: out there.

497
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: It's crazy that both Katie with the Nets and Booker

498
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: with the Suns, like their teams needed all forty five

499
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: or forty four points respectively to pull out the victory.

500
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: These were close games, both of them. So these guys

501
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: came through as their star players. Which one you pick

502
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: and you go on Katie just with that mad efficiency.

503
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 7: Or and laughing at a guy as you get an

504
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 7: and one on them. Tough to pass that up. But

505
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 7: suns Kings was a better game. That was a really

506
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 7: exciting game, and Booker certainly put the team on his back.

507
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm more impressed. I think he had six steals he.

508
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 7: Ended up with in this game, and I thought he

509
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 7: was kind of all over the place defensively. You know

510
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 7: Booker is going to be able to score. Created a

511
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 7: little bit last night, four assists. He ended up with

512
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 7: forty four points in forty minutes, so obviously he was

513
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 7: getting buckets out there too. But the defense I thought

514
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 7: was really impressive as well. And then maybe the most

515
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 7: clutch performance Damian Lee three buckets the last six minutes,

516
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 7: hit a little mind range jumper, two huge threes. I

517
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 7: think it was Mikhale Bridges who hit the one that

518
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: really was the dagger. Put the Sons up by ten

519
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 7: or something with I don't know one minute left and

520
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 7: I was like, fine, it's bedtime. It's officially bedtime. I

521
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 7: thought it was gonna be beam time was. I was

522
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 7: there waiting for the Kings to light that beam once again.

523
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: But I feel like we failed on.

524
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: The Do you think the batteries are dead in the beam?

525
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 7: It's us, man, You think it's us. Kings came here

526
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 7: to Atlanta one time all year, we didn't go. They

527
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 7: lost Jesus haven't won since. Sorry to the Kings.

528
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: Boy. Check the batteries too on the beam team. But yeah,

529
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: well we'll take it. It's our fault we got. We

530
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: got all caught up in the beam. We got a

531
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: bunch of YouTube shorts and.

532
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: We skipped out on the beam.

533
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: Man.

534
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: It's all right.

535
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 7: I saw I got an email today from Amazon saying

536
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 7: that my subscribe and save is coming in.

537
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty double A batteries there go.

538
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Damian Lee was big in this game. It ended

539
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: up being three threes in the fourth quarter. There. He

540
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: is hitting forty nine percent from three on the season.

541
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: The former Golden State Warrior, kind of an end of

542
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: the bench guy who's been bumped up into a bigger role,

543
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: especially because Jay Crowder isn't playing and then they cam

544
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: Johnson injury. It's monstrous He's hit twenty one fourth quarter

545
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: threes this season of basically half of his threes have

546
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 3: come in the fourth quarter, nearly half. That's uh, he's clutch.

547
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: It's happening. They desperately needed all those points, as he said,

548
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: kind of a good win for sorry, a good loss

549
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: for the Kings even though they're beamless. You know, they

550
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: took the Suns down to the wire in a close game.

551
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: In a game that Fox had a really really bad performance.

552
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: Part of that bridge is obviously being on them. Just Booker.

553
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: I loved about his game with the forty four, eight

554
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: and six deals. Like you said, shot seventeen to twenty eight,

555
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: so not as good as Kd's but Matti fish as well.

556
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: I said on Monday's podcasts, I gave the Suns like

557
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: a winner of the weekend because he had had a

558
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: bad weekend shooting the ball. But they got the victories,

559
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: mainly led by eighton and then he follows it up

560
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: with this, and he got them the victory last night,

561
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: and that's what the stars do. Everybody got some from

562
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: Booker too, Fox on him didn't matter, Hurder, Keith and

563
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: Murray A. Paula was getting cooked. And then their guy

564
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: their defensive stopper in Davion Mitchell. What I loved about

565
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Booker when he had him on, He's like he's too small.

566
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: He would just get to the free throw line, rise up,

567
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: and he had the jumper go, and he had that

568
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: Kobe little fade away going and was just splashing it

569
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: on him. So they opened up that second half with

570
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: the big run and then maintained the lead and held

571
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: on with contributions from Lee eight and seventeen and twelve

572
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: again double double and bridges Man. He filled the statuet

573
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 1: thirteen eight and seven, three steals, three blocks. That guy's

574
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: gotta be on the short list for the five by

575
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: five chants, right of it. Maybe him fallen into it

576
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: in one of these games. Him, you know og Ad.

577
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: Of course there's a couple other names.

578
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 3: But Herbert. We'll get a Herb.

579
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, her some great defensive You're right, bridges og and

580
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Herb Jones last night making their cases for all NBA selections.

581
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, might worry about this team though. All NBA defense,

582
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's all defense. I guess it's hard

583
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: to keep those names straight sometimes. Yeah, I know one

584
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: has defense and then the other dozen, but all defense

585
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: all NBA. I don't know.

586
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: They just call them like clamps, all all clamps or

587
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: all locks or something like that.

588
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: That's like JD said early in the preseason. He's he

589
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: kept this this take chambered for like fifteen years. He said,

590
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, all these all NBA teams are all fake,

591
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: is what he said. Yeah, they're not real teams for sure. Right,

592
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: they're not actual, but I think they're They're more real

593
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 3: than like a tournament team, you know, an all tournaments. Yes, anyway,

594
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 3: whatever the point is, Milik Monk got thirty off the bench.

595
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 3: He was well for the for the Kings. He really

596
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: helped out. My worry again, I'll harp on, is the

597
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: Sun's not getting to the free throw line enough. Booker

598
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: was basically the only guy who got to the free

599
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: throw nine of their fourteen free throws. So we've talked

600
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 3: about eight and how he's been hot and how he's

601
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: been getting to the line. You only have two free

602
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: throws in this one. You need easy buckets, and this

603
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: team doesn't necessarily get them. Outside of Devin Booker and

604
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: when Chris Paul is automatic and all that, they have

605
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: a great offense. They have a great offense Oh yeah,

606
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: I'd like to see eight and you know, GrITT and

607
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: grind a little bit more.

608
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's take our first break, but when we

609
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get to all the other games from

610
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: last night. Don't go anywhere, all right here in the

00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: No, have you put up your Christmas decorations yet? I

621
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: was all done already, most of them. Yeah. Yeah, what's left?

622
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,440

Speaker 1: Darius Garland, You say that like it's a tough task.

624
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, weaving in and out? Yeah?

625
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Are you doing it on the banister?

626
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

627
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,200

Speaker 3: Yeah, between the Dennis Rodman's got to do the three

629
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 3: man weaves. Tough.

630
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: Grab. So many basketball references can you drop? Talking about Garland?

631
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

632
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: Nice?

633
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 7: Speaking at Tree rollins. I went downstairs to watch basketball

634
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 7: last night. Laura was at a book club. She came home,

635
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 7: you know, an hour or so later, She's like, uh, hey,

636
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 7: you like the tree. She put up a whole tree

637
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 7: downstairs and I didn't notice it. She's like, what if

638
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 7: there was a person standing there. I'm like, well, if

639
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 7: there's a person standing there, they were probably doing what

640
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 7: you were doing.

641
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: How is this guy not noticing me for over an hour?

642
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 7: A full tree was downstairs. Didn't even look at You're

643
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 7: a you're a two tree household you upstairs? Real tree downstairs?

644
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: Fake?

645
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: True? Oh? Okay, okay, wow.

646
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 7: I mean we got a we got a tiny little

647
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 7: two tiny trees on the kitchen table.

648
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Oh geez, I would guess there's eight to ten trees

649
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: in the girls room.

650
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: My god, I'm.

651
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: No idea.

652
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: You are rolling uh and JD we while we're while

653
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: we're going around the horn here, I haven't noticed many

654
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: Christmas decorations. What do we find our way to the

655
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: cliffs last?

656
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: Here?

657
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Are we gonna do it? Do it up in here?

658
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 5: We could? We've got we've got decorations somewhere. I think

659
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: in that box right there. Okay, so we could I

660
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 5: mean we're not going to be here for Christmas.

661
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean for weeks here as we hit

662
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: December lane this week.

663
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: No, you've always wanted your Christmas tree up in the garage,

664
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: haven't you throw it up here?

665
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: It's a bad idea. Actually put it up.

666
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: And leave it up Christmas. Change the ornaments. Yeah, we

667
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: could little pumpkins around Halloween. I'm on the tree. Why

668
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: do we do that?

669
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: Sure, it's a great question.

670
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: Easter eggs around Easter.

671
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: I was trying to convince.

672
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 7: I've been trying to convince my family to get a

673
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: twelve foot skeleton for years now.

674
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: We could keep it up year round.

675
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 7: Those are hot right now, put a Santa hat on it,

676
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 7: give it an Easter eggs.

677
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: You should definitely do it, right.

678
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: That's worth it, Yeah, totally worth it.

679
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.

680
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: You got every holiday?

681
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, all right. Let's get into some of the

682
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: other games from last night. We had two all NBA

683
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: players returning. Joel Embiid returned from injury. He powered the

684
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: seventy six ers past the Hawks one of four one

685
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: on one, and then Pascal Siakam he returned. He scored

686
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: eighteen eleven boards as the Raptors took care of the

687
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: Calves one hundred to eighty eight. Whose return was more

688
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: impressive to you, embiid or Siakam.

689
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: Well, definitely, my excitement level was high for Pascal siak

690
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 3: I'm looking great. But he didn't have to close out

691
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: the game because he was private team that mopped the Calves.

692
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: That was garbage time towards the end. So disappointing game

693
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: there for the Calves. Wow. On the other side, Joe

694
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: and Bed closed out the Hawks. The Hawks looked like

695
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: they were pretty good up three a minute left and

696
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: then it was in Bed time. Just give the ball

697
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 3: to that guy, hits a layup, hits a sort of

698
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: a fading fifteen footer and then got Trey to turn

699
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: it over. He baited Trey into a nice turnover, beautiful stuff.

700
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: Trey was looking for the alley oop, the lob back door,

701
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: and he just broke you not only broke it up,

702
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: but he went and grabbed it. I thought that was

703
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: the impressive part.

704
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and grabbed it and then talk trash to John

705
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: Collins at the free throw line. Is they had a

706
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: thing going on in the fourth quarter where and he

707
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: blocked him, slashed through him to the ground and Collins

708
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: was giving it. We're trying to get it from the Sixers,

709
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 3: faithful and then yeah, unfortunately talk trash and b did

710
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 3: to Collins and Collins couldn't hit the free throw. So

711
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: that was Embiid's last minute. And then he went and

712
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: hit a free throw to seal it. So came back.

713
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: It was kind of a facilitator to start the game,

714
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: but ended with thirty and just the better player on

715
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: the floor, best player on the floor. One in that

716
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 3: game when it looked like the Hawks were finally going

717
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: to get a victory because the last two have been

718
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: bad for them.

719
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's got to be Embaid. He scored the last

720
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 7: eleven points for the Sixers, starting at the four minute mark.

721
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 7: I think Toronto was up by three points at that point.

722
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 7: Seven points in the last minute. Then, like you're saying,

723
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 7: made the defensive play, I thought Trey Young should have

724
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 7: just shot a floater like he had a lot of

725
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 7: space around him. But a weird night for the Hawks,

726
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 7: twenty turnovers and it just bad execution throughout in the

727
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 7: fourth quarter. You heard Boba Rathman say it on the broadcast,

728
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 7: it's gonna come down to execution here. The Hawks were

729
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 7: not able to execute, and the Sixers took a win,

730
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 7: and they did a pretty solid job. I think they

731
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 7: went three to one without Embid when he missed some time. Here,

732
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 7: they've been doing a really good job with Hard and

733
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 7: missing time with MAXI missing time too many stars. Maybe

734
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 7: that's the problem for the Sixers. Once they're downstars, Doc rivers,

735
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 7: he starts cooking. But they did a great job of

736
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 7: treading water. And now they got Embiid back. He looked

737
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 7: fairly fit and healthy out there, I thought, compared to

738
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 7: what we've seen earlier in the season.

739
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: So a great return, I thought from Joelle.

740
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you see just the difference. I mean this is

741
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: not breaking news, but just the difference like a superstar

742
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: makes to your team, be it Embiid or Thiakam and

743
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,959
Speaker 1: not in the case of just like going to score

744
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: thirty or double double eighteen eleven, whatever, Just like how

745
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: much it opens up everything else for all your other

746
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: secondary and tertiary players as it just trickles down. Because

747
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: I thought, like Spicy p, just to show him some love.

748
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: He was money last night. You're right, he didn't have

749
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: a monster line, but he didn't need to, you know,

750
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: get some rest, late, and they were like trying to

751
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: like restrict his minutes too. He was coming out a

752
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: little earlier than normal. But holy crap, the spins and

753
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: the jumpers and the fathesways, they were falling no rust

754
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: at all, and like the sixers, Raptors did okay with

755
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: him out of the lineup, five and five in the

756
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: ten games that Siakam missed there with the right strained

757
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: right adductor, so not bad. You know, you're especially in

758
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. You know, you're not three and seven there,

759
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: You're not two and eight. They probably should have beaten

760
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: the Hawks we saw you know, down at the Fortress

761
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: that night, so they maybe would have been six and four.

762
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: But man, he looked really good coming back. And Nick

763
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: Nurse's decision to you know, bring Scottie Barnes off the

764
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: bench because he returned to after missing a couple game,

765
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: to bring Gary Trent Junior, who's been brutal this entire season,

766
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: couldn't hit a shot, to bring him off the bench,

767
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: and to stick with Sad there in the starting lineup,

768
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: who is so much fun to watch as a Raptors fan.

769
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 1: Daddeus Young, you know you had him on your bulls

770
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: teams back of the day. Look you cutting, He's finding it.

771
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: Him and Wancho. Every game I watch, there is a

772
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: beautiful play where Wancho just loses his guy cuts back

773
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: through the you know, through the paint, back door whatever,

774
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: and Thad finds him because he's always looking to dim

775
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: it up. So yeah, good call there him nurse and

776
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: and it sort of unlocked Gary Trent Junior a little

777
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: bit off the bench, and Barnes sort of took on

778
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: more of a role when Siakam was out, so worked

779
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: well for one game at least.

780
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 3: It's crazy Tagic Young. He is the connector. He is

781
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: the Marcus ol light. I wake up every morning and

782
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: I watch his spiel to the kids about I think

783
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: it was this offseason where he said, you know, you

784
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: don't have to score twenty five a night kids to

785
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: make it in the league. This is year seventeen. I'm

786
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 3: going into here.

787
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

788
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 3: It is crazy. He's been he was drafting O six.

789
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: He has a long time ago, but he's Yeah, he's

790
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: he is a well like dude on every single team

791
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 3: that he plays for. Yeah, he's a connector and he's

792
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 3: making it work in both situations. Listen, drolling bead opens

793
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: it up for everybody, but not PJ Tucker. Pjucker's still

794
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: not scoring.

795
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

796
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: Seven of his last eight games has it scored. Zip.

797
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: He had one three point game.

798
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: So he had a three. DJ Tucker opened in the corner.

799
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, last three that's wild.

800
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Wow wow.

801
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

802
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: And then I want to show some love because we

803
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, Bridges and a job he

804
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: sort of did slowing Fox. Oh. Janna Nobi got a

805
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: bulk of the assignment on Donovan Mitchell, and Mitchell shot

806
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: three of eleven from the field, barely got to the line,

807
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: didn't even crack ten points. They were not you know,

808
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: the doubles came here and there, but it was really

809
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: like og have at it, And my god, is this

810
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: guy scary out locking guys up. You know, we saw

811
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: what he did, Luca And yeah, he's on the Claps

812
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: team all Clamps baby. Uh. He's making a case he's

813
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: for defensive Player of the Year with terms of steels

814
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: numbers and stuff like that, and his impact at slowing

815
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: star players on the other team down. So great game

816
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: from him and a big reason why they held him

817
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: to eighty eight points. Awesome.

818
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he doesn't have to do everything on offense

819
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: anymore with Pascal siakmback, so he could he can be

820
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: mister Clamps.

821
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: That helps Zion Williamson powers these shorthanded Pelicans pass the

822
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: Thunder one oh five to one oh one. Do you

823
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: want to talk about Herb Jones making his case for

824
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: all Clamps because he was SGA still got thirty one,

825
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: but a lot came out the free throw line, but

826
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: he had a good he did a.

827
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 3: Great he did a very good job. Yeah, it was

828
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: a team effort, but Chay was just seven of twenty

829
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: one in this game from the floor, and a big

830
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 3: part of that was Herb. Three steels, four blocks, two

831
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: charges drawn, and an unfortunate one at the end there

832
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: where Shay got into the lane and Shay was trying

833
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 3: to trying to score here to tie the game at

834
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 3: the end, and one referee wanted to call a block.

835
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: The arms came way out, but he kind of slowed

836
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 3: it down because the other referee gave the charge signal

837
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: and Mark Digno and the Thunder did not have a

838
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: challenge at that point, so it came down to the

839
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: absolute wire. The Pelicans were short handed and Brandon Ingram

840
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: obviously wasn't out there, but Zion and the Pelicans showed

841
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: that they are the better team because number one, Zion

842
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: was just attacking a lot earlier before that wall was

843
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: set up. And then number two you've got such a

844
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: complimentary player. What a find in Herb Jones that they

845
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 3: have to just be a stopper. Number one and number

846
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 3: two kind of get out of the way for Zion

847
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: and Brandon Ingram and all those guys. But it shouldn't

848
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: have come down to the wire. I think for the

849
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: Pelicans they should have. It was a double digits after

850
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: three quarters and they they let the thunder come back

851
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: into this game.

852
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, see was it? What's his name jr? Jeremiah

853
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: Robinson Earl. He hit a three, stepped in the three.

854
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: He had a great game. He actually did work on

855
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: the boards. Hit a three was like, I don't know,

856
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: fifty seconds to go. That gave them the lead. It

857
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: looked like they were gonna pull this out Jr. Yeah,

858
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: but New Orleans scored the final five. Any thoughts on

859
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: the defense from Herb Jones Pelicans pulling his oad Zi

860
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: on how he played? What do you think?

861
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 7: Yeah? I thought two cool plays from herb Jones certainly

862
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 7: taking a charge perfectly timed with no challenges left well done.

863
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 7: Also threw the ball off of Poku's back and unbounds,

864
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 7: went to the free throw line, hit the free throws.

865
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 7: That's very cool. But we we actually saw point Zion

866
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 7: last night, which I thought was pretty interesting to see

867
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: with no Ingram out there, no CJ. McCollum, a chance

868
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 7: for Zion to handle the ball. He comes through with

869
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 7: a career high and assists. Looked pretty springy, looked like

870
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 7: he was making good decisions. Anytime a double would come,

871
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 7: he'd get the ball out of there. Pelicans kind of

872
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 7: flying under the radar right now. Their sixth on offense,

873
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 7: fifth on defense, and they've been playing with stars missing

874
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 7: for the majority of this game. They got the win

875
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 7: last night, no Ingram, no CJ. They've got to win

876
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 7: this season with no Ingram, no Zion, and then they've

877
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 7: got wins without Ingram, without Zion, without CJ. Individually, except

878
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 7: for Jonnis Valancunas, all their starters have missed three to

879
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 7: five games.

880
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 2: But they've got enough depth that.

881
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 7: They're able to slide people in and kind of adjust

882
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 7: their lineups and stay competitive. So I think a really

883
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 7: good start to the year for New Orleans.

884
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. One note from this game that I'd

885
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: like to see the NBA address. I'd love to hear

886
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: your guys take on it. I want to get rid

887
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: of the offensive interference call because it happened twice down

888
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: the stretch of this game where someone went up and

889
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: threw down an offensive rebound, like they threw down a dunk,

890
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: and then we get the hold on that was above

891
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: the rim. That's so stupid to me when I think,

892
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: like when you stop and think about it, it's like

893
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: the ball's not on the rim, it's not touching the rim,

894
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 1: but this you know, cylinder above the hoop. A guy

895
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: can't go up and jump like you know, obviously ten

896
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: and a half feet in the air to go get

897
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: it and don't get a cool play and we call

898
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: and go look at it and take it back. It

899
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: happened twice in this game. Zion was one of them,

900
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: and I can't remember who it was on the the

901
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: thunder that also had to put back dunk that they

902
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: went and looked at and like, I don't know, I

903
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: guess it was over there. That's a that's dumb. Is

904
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: better it's so much better. But even if we don't

905
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: want to go to the extent where like we could

906
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: take everything off the rim, at the very least an

907
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: offensive player, in my opinion, should be able to throw

908
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: down a put back dunk that's not sitting on the rim. Yes,

909
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: that's like I hate this rule, and it happened twice

910
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: in this game.

911
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 3: This is a screen.

912
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: But I'm with you train, I'd like to go to

913
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: the full extent Fever rules. You can go up, bat

914
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: it off the rim if you want. Let these guys

915
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: like play above the rim. We're always talking about that

916
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: and then we like say, no, no, you actually can't.

917
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 7: What Yeah, you go above the rim to the side, Yeah,

918
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 7: not specifically above the rim.

919
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 2: My only concern.

920
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 7: Would be what does it do to weggies or do

921
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 7: they just play through now? Because that would be crazy.

922
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 7: Ball gets stuck there and it's like a scrum.

923
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: Who can go get it first.

924
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's awesome. Don't touch the weggies.

925
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 1: Keep the weggies, but everything else the live ball variation,

926
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: let them play, let them knock it off defense and offense,

927
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: but especially offense. I find that so strange that rule.

928
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: The zion one was really dumb because I wasn't anywhere

929
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: close to the cylinder anyway, and there was just the

930
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 3: other side was just pissed off, just just some some

931
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 3: somebody had a bad angle and thought that it was

932
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: above the rim and then they just called for it.

933
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, let's review it.

934
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: So it's like such a weird thing to like punish

935
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: a player that can again jump up and go get

936
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: a ball that's eleven feet high and throw it down.

937
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: It's like you shouldn't be able to do that. Why

938
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. So, you know, they've slowly

939
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: changed some of the rules to open up the game

940
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Obviously, the take fowl and stuff

941
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: like that. Let's get on this one next silver.

942
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah right, let's just have universal basketball rules. Yeah, that

943
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: would be very nice, doesn't it make sense?

944
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: So then the Dream Team or Team America, they don't

945
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: have to like every summer before they go play in

946
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: a World Championships, Like, okay, guy, you got a practice

947
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,959
Speaker 1: taking the ball off the rim.

948
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 3: Track I believe traveling.

949
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, that's a big level.

950
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Trey Kirby's Chicago Bulls. They

951
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: handled the Jazz their fifth straight loss. You tass coming

952
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: back to earth here DeRozan scored twenty six. Any takeaways

953
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: from this.

954
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 7: One, Yeah, the Jazz have gone from first place to

955
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 7: seventh in the Western Conference in a week. That's how

956
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 7: tight it is in the Western Conference. But this game

957
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 7: was over before it started because the Jazz showed up

958
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 7: wearing their ninety seven ninety eight uniforms against the Bulls.

959
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 7: Honestly ridiculous. That was a loss waiting to happen, but

960
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 7: the Bulls went out and naturally took it. They only

961
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 7: hit six threes on the night. The Jazz shot the

962
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 7: lights out. They hit nineteen threes. But the Bulls won

963
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 7: this one pretty easily because they crushed inside.

964
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: It ended up being a.

965
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 7: Sixty four to forty four points in the paint advantage

966
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 7: for Chicago. They also forced fourteen turnovers turned it into

967
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 7: twenty three points. The Bulls have to be able to

968
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 7: run in transition to score efficiently, but Kobe White was

969
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 7: huge in this game three for five from three point line,

970
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 7: and they needed his shooting on the court in fourth

971
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 7: quarter just to give a little space. Uh to Dedrozen

972
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 7: who had a nice fourth quarter, to Levine and Toubouch

973
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 7: who was crushing inside three offensive rebounds basically ended this game.

974
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 2: Uh for the Bulls to beat the Jazz.

975
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 7: There, so decent start to the West Coast road trip

976
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 7: for the Bulls two and one. Uh, they got to

977
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 7: win against the Bucks not technically a West Coast team,

978
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 7: but part of this six game trip gets pretty tough

979
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 7: from here on out. Suns Warriors Kings. That to me

980
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 7: is like after this trip is when you finally judge

981
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 7: the Bulls season. That's how it always is. You know,

982
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 7: it's about a quarter the way into it. They go

983
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 7: on this trip. It used to be for the circus.

984
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 7: Now it's because the w GCI Big Jam is in town. Yeah,

985
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 7: money bag Yo is headlining.

986
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: What are you talking about right now? I thought you

987
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: were talking about monster trucks.

988
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: No, no, No, WGCI Big Jam twenty twenty two.

989
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 7: Money bag Yo, Nardo Wickdo Wick is.

990
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 2: His n NARDA wait, who are we talking about?

991
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 3: Artists?

992
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: These are These are hip hop artists.

993
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 3: So Low Rilla Glowyllis.

994
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 2: Saucy Santana, Okay, Muni, Long.

995
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 7: Tink, PGF Knuck, Santa, Sleazy World Go Katie, got bands

996
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 7: more to be announced.

997
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: I'll be there.

998
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: Smart Sorb Smart Sorb, Smart Sorb.

999
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 3: And dumb Sorb.

1000
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 2: They got them both.

1001
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 7: I can't believe it. Nonetheless, it's about a quarter the

1002
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 7: way end of the season. It's always the Bull's longest

1003
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 7: trip on the road. So if they were able to

1004
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 7: go and finish five hundred, which at this point would

1005
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 7: mean getting a win against the Suns the Warriors of

1006
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 7: the Kings, one of those games is a possibility. It's

1007
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 7: a decent road trip. And I don't know, the Bulls

1008
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 7: have seemed to have righted the ship a little bit

1009
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 7: here after really bad losses to the Pelicans and the

1010
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 7: Nuggets a couple of weeks ago, So good job.

1011
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see a lot of this game. I

1012
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, but I was a little worried seeing

1013
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: the tweets coming through last night of the lowry market

1014
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: in revenge game. So I saw.

1015
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,080
Speaker 2: What you're telling me. You're telling me he had a

1016
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: huge first half and didn't do anything in the second.

1017
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: I guess that's shocking to me.

1018
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: Thirty two points, nine boards, hit seven threes, But I

1019
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: guess a lot of it came in the first, did

1020
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: it didn't see a lot of lowry market in the second?

1021
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: No, No, he was their best player though, and he

1022
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 2: was balling.

1023
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 3: There's Yeah, he was pretty good.

1024
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 7: But if he had as good as a second half

1025
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 7: as he did the first half, the Jazz would have won.

1026
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 7: But he didn't because he's the big TEASO but didn't finish.

1027
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I just saw Kenny Beach from tweeting it. I was like, Oh,

1028
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: what's he doing.

1029
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 3: I was hot in the first Yeah, I guess he

1030
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 3: had eight points in the second half. They miss Mike Conley.

1031
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: The Connector. I've said the Connector so many times this episode.

1032
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 3: I even looked for a synonym for the Connector while

1033
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 3: well Trey was talking there. But there's no other good

1034
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: word for being a connector in basketball, A link, clue.

1035
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: Get the bridge. The bridge is pretty.

1036
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 3: Good, Yeah, but it's not It's not as he's gonna

1037
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 3: be a bridge for everybody, you know. It's not just

1038
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: like a one way bridge. Yeah, it's hard to imagine

1039
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: multiple bridges for me. I've only seen one bridge in

1040
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 3: my life. So the Connector. They've lost every game since

1041
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: Mike Hardley got injured. That's it's important. Yeah, and never

1042
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: has to shoot, but he creates for guys like Lowry

1043
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: Markin and Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley, so they don't

1044
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 3: have to create their own shot. And Utah had a

1045
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 3: chance to win four of these five games. They were

1046
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: right in it, and some nothing to be real upset about.

1047
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: They lost to the Suns, they lost to the Clippers,

1048
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: the Bulls, and the Pistons. Yeah, not great ones, but

1049
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 3: they also lost to the Warriors. So to me, I'm

1050
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: not that worried about the Utah Jazz. I think, yeah,

1051
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 3: where they are now at twelve and eleven, they should

1052
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 3: be above five hundred at the end of the season.

1053
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 3: They should be happy.

1054
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 1: You think the Jazz are going to be above five hundred.

1055
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: They should be if they're healthy. If they're healthy, they

1056
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: should be. If they are healthy, they should be a

1057
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 3: better team than that. And they've had a really road

1058
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: heavy skin schedule. They don't have uh this uh this

1059
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 3: this rap rap music situation going on exactly. They're they're

1060
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: not closing down their arena for how long.

1061
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: There's other things happen. There's like black Hawks games.

1062
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 3: Okay, it used to be.

1063
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: It used to be the circus would come to town

1064
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 2: and they would close it for like a week.

1065
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: Remember that.

1066
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no disrespect to the circuit.

1067
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: The Element to the Lion.

1068
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, this sleazy world go yeah tink Nardo wick.

00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: he's fifteen.

1071
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:40,680

1073
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: It's gonna be all right. So let's give it going.

1074
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: We got two more games. I'm gonna chuck them both

1075
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: out of you because they were the blowout variety. Here.

1076
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart and the Celtics crushed the Hornets one five

1077
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: and Yo kich Anne Murray lead the Nuggets to the

1078
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: one twenty nine one thirteen victory over the Rockets. Any notes, gentlemen,

1079
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: from these blowout victories by two really good teams Celtics.

1080
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 1: I mean they are on one. This game was over

1081
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: in six minutes, this Celtics game, and then you know

1082
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. The Rockets put up a little bit more

1083
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: of a fight, but massive performances from both the Joker

1084
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: and Murray.

1085
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 3: Well, I was watching the Jokich Sheng Gun matchup. Yeah,

1086
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: that was awesome. Albern Schegun was going right at Jokicen

1087
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: feeling great and ended up with a great didn't end

1088
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 3: up with a great game, but Jamal Murray's was a

1089
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 3: key factor here. If Jamal Murray can look like that, yeah,

1090
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: that's what we're waiting for. He had yeah thirty one

1091
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: in this one. But yeah, you got to see the

1092
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: sicker report on Albern Schngun. That guy is gonna fly

1093
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,959
Speaker 3: under the raidar because he's part of the Houston Rockets team.

1094
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 3: But it's easy to be excited about this team with

1095
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 3: Jabari Smith we just talked about yesterday and Alpern Shangun

1096
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: and Jalen Green and Terry Easton obviously, so it's fun

1097
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 3: to watch them on the other side. Yeah, this or

1098
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 3: the other game, I should the Celtics, like Griffin Baby

1099
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 3: started starting for Al Horford first dunk of the season

1100
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 3: wearing number ninety one, coming out of the rafters for

1101
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: that big al up he got up. He was at

1102
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 3: at least ten point five feet and to throw that

1103
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 3: one down, and I know you want to talk about Wow.

1104
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: The better dunk from the Celtics game was, of course

1105
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: Luke Cornett throwing down a fast break oop in the

1106
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: second half and then doing a bird celebration with his hands.

1107
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna show it to you here and after the game.

1108
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: He was asked about the bird flapping celebration and he

1109
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: said it was homage to Stromel Swift if you remember

1110
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: that name number two pick right from two thousand, who

1111
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: could throw down some dunks and would drop the odd

1112
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: bird celebration. There it is, But they asked him, they

1113
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: continue to ask him. I think it was ja king

1114
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: of the athletic. You know, why Swift, why were you

1115
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: doing that? He talked about Grant Williams having started it,

1116
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: but he also jokingly said it was like looking in

1117
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: the mirror Cornett's game to stro Mile Swift and they're like,

1118
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: why said explosive athleticism? Next question. So the Celtics are

1119
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun right now. Yeah, I mean

1120
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: Cornett's throwing down.

1121
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 2: Lobs legitimately good thing.

1122
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: I know.

1123
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 7: He's been very solid for them, especially considering like Rob

1124
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 7: Williams has missed time. Yeah, he's got two notable memes going,

1125
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 7: like the Eclipse defense and the bird celebration.

1126
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: It was just strom Mile Swift's birthday November twenty. First.

1127
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 7: I saw a highlight tape going around on his birthday,

1128
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 7: like happy birthday. Stromile Swift's people forget he could really

1129
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 7: throw down, which makes me think Luke Cornett is active

1130
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 7: on the internet. Oh maybe yeah, or maybe it's Grant Williams.

1131
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 7: Whoever it is, somebody had to have seen this and

1132
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 7: be like, hey, we got to start doing this.

1133
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

1134
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 7: It is.

1135
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no way he knew who strom Mileswift was.

1136
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 3: I'm just guessing. But he was like four when strom

1137
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 3: Miles Swift was drafted. I'm just guessing. But yeah, there

1138
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: take Lights Live forever, man, Yeah, the highlights left forever.

1139
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 3: It's it's all about the Hause. That's a good point

1140
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 3: that stro Miles Swift was. Yeah, that the tape was

1141
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: going around. The strow Show was real back then. It

1142
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 3: didn't last too long in the NBA, but it was.

1143
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: It was a talk about El Tizo. He would have

1144
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: a massive game, but we'd all be like, oh, yeah,

1145
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: here we go. There's a twenty and ten big dunk.

1146
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: This guy he's unlocked, and then you wouldn't hear from him.

1147
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,959
Speaker 1: Be a couple of games, and then you have another

1148
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: toy Tyelee man, that guy super Ltizo back in the day.

1149
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: But holy crap, go watch Trommel Swift's best twenty dunks.

1150
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: There's some monsters. He caught some bodies for sure. Number

1151
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: two pick, Is that right?

1152
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: I said?

1153
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, jeez, was that the weird draft?

1154
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty not many all stars out of that draft.

1155
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 3: But I guess he'd lasted. He didn't play a lot

1156
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: of games the NBA five hundred and fifty, but lasted

1157
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: longer than I thought he did.

1158
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: Think he has a trucking company now, last day, last

1159
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: I heard last night read about Swift. It's a good

1160
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: name for a trucking company. Great name, Swift Trucking. I

1161
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it's called that. I want to make

1162
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: one more note about the Nuggets because you were saying

1163
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: Trey like the Pelicans sort of sneaky twelve and eight.

1164
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: Can we say the same about the Nuggets being thirteen

1165
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: and seven? Like Jokic miss some time obviously Jamal Murray

1166
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: missed some time. Like their guys are in and out

1167
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: and they're right there at the top of the Western Conference.

1168
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about them a ton. Is that fair?

1169
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 7: I mean to peep the notes, bro, peep the notes. Oh,

1170
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 7: look at this Nuggets under the radar, big time, fourth

1171
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 7: best record in the entire NBA, fourth and offense, and

1172
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,959
Speaker 7: they're shooting forty percent as a team from three.

1173
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 2: This is why Jokic has had so many games where

1174
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: he takes.

1175
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 7: Like six to eight shots because like whatever, we'll just

1176
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 7: pass it out to the wide open shooter for three.

1177
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 7: Aaron Gordon has found the ideal role for him. He's

1178
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 7: leading the NBA in dunks because that's the one guy

1179
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 7: that's probably shouldn't be shooting three. So just go hang

1180
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 7: out onto the hoop. If you're open, you're getting a dunk.

1181
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 7: Michael Porter Junior didn't play last night, but he's been

1182
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 7: chucking hitting, and Jamal Murray certainly seems to be rounding

1183
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 7: into form as the season goes on. So yeah, Nuggets

1184
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 7: are a little bit under the radar.

1185
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Malone sorry, is confident that they can reach

1186
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: another level too. I love this quote for Michael Malone

1187
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: after last night's game, knowing that we had eight new

1188
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: guys coming in, knowing that we were bringing back at

1189
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Junior, it wasn't going to

1190
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: happen in the first twenty games, especially with all the

1191
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: injuries and the COVID illnesses that we've had early on.

1192
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: When you account for the lack of continuity, the schedule,

1193
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: the injuries, the different lineups. I'm incredibly proud of our

1194
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: guys or our group. Excuse me for being where we are.

1195
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: Good point there from Michael Malone. With all of those

1196
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: injuries and the illnesses and guys in and out and

1197
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: just a bunch of new bodies to acclimate.

1198
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 3: They can get better. For sure. Luke Cornett got better

1199
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 3: this offseason. That guy's feet are moving extremely fast. He

1200
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 3: was in the gym moving those feet and he is

1201
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 3: able to hang with guards. So yes, the Nuggets can

1202
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 3: get better, even better than their fourth best record in

1203
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 3: the NBA at thirteen and seven. I'm not too like

1204
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 3: when you say fourth best record, it's because we don't

1205
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 3: have great teams. It's really the cel parody time.

1206
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: It's the Celtics, and then it's like Bucks Suns.

1207
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, And then then it's the Nuggets at

1208
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 3: thirteen and seven, winning sixty five percent in their games.

1209
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory. Maybe Adam Silver just told all the teams

1210
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 3: to be bad. It's time for parody in the INA. Yeah,

1211
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 3: what's the only thing that's really missing in the NBA?

1212
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: Parody and we're get it right, now, the Celtics are

1213
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 3: seventeen to four. Clearly the best team right now. You know,

1214
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 3: the Bucks, if they were in a series, people take

1215
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 3: the Bucks. But the Celtics are absolutely rolling. Otherwise, John

1216
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 3: Hollnser wrote about on The Athletic who wants to win

1217
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 3: the West? Nobody's really standing out. So those teams that

1218
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 3: we talked about already in the show is the Pelicans

1219
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 3: who have flown under the radar to be at the

1220
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 3: twenty game mark, to be at twelve and eight, the Nuggets,

1221
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies are still there. There's lots of teams that

1222
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 3: can go win it. And the Warriors obviously should be

1223
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 3: part of that conversation. So the West is great.

1224
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: You said the Pelicans, you know, flying under the radar.

1225
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: It really should be the Pels or the Hawks that

1226
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: brought back the stroll mile swift bird celebration. Yeah, and

1227
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: not the Celtics and Luke Cornette of all people. But

1228
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 1: I was just say it just a final point. That's

1229
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: a good point. That's a good point.

1230
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 7: I would think, John Collins know, I'm almost shot dropper, Uh,

1231
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 7: Larry nance Zion, I mean that's a big bird.

1232
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 3: Bird got up got help yesterday it's a large bird though.

1233
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: Actually I don't know which one tray you do like.

1234
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 2: Fingers, it's gotta be more of like a full full wingers.

1235
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 1: Majestic.

1236
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 2: That's your real majestical right there.

1237
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: Okay, that's great podcasting right there, three guys doing things

1238
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: with their hands.

1239
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 3: You see hawks around here? I do.

1240
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we got tons of hawks that when h

1241
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: when my little Luna was a wee puppy. You sometimes

1242
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: get scared see of those circ around not now hawkward? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1243
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: we think our neighbor's cat. Uh, we don't know if

1244
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: it was a hawk. There's some talk about an owl.

1245
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they believe another animal took out

1246
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: the cat of a bird variety that's scary.

1247
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 3: Could be a falcon, could be a falcon?

1248
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: Falcon settle me?

1249
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 5: Why bird?

1250
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd say, the.

1251
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: Talk around the neighborhood, Jim, Karen. You know, I got

1252
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,439
Speaker 1: a name, her name. Don't worry, she's not a carot.

1253
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: It's good. They were. They were pretty adamant that it

1254
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: was a bird. I don't know what the reasoning was,

1255
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, also, what should I do with this hold on?

1256
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: Karen?

1257
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: Speaking of Karen, she came up with. She says the

1258
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: weirdest things, wildest things. We're talking about something, maybe Thanksgiving,

1259
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: and then she's like, do you want a bird cam?

1260
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: I got nowhere, Yeah, a bird camera. So so they

1261
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: bought it for Scott, her husband, for his bird day

1262
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: in the summer. And he doesn't want it. He doesn't

1263
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: want to put it up. They don't want to.

1264
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to gift.

1265
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: This is his reason because they have an indoor outdoor cat.

1266
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: And he goes, he's a bit of a grumpy guy.

1267
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: He goes, what am I gonna do.

1268
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 3: Watch our cat eat birds?

1269
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: And she was like, all right, fair point.

1270
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 5: So then you got you catch it on camera? Probably

1271
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 5: oh yeah.

1272
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: And so then they asked me if I want it.

1273
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, like, I don't really want it, but I

1274
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: guess maybe I'll take it.

1275
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 3: Hold on this camera. You attach it to your house

1276
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 3: and then go back and watch the footage when you

1277
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 3: point it on a on a.

1278
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: Bird feeder or somewhere in a tree, and and then

1279
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: watch the birds. And it's probably automatic. It tells you

1280
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: what the bird's coming through.

1281
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 3: Okay, but then you go back and watch the footage

1282
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 3: or you watch it live.

1283
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

1284
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 3: Once you use your eyes and look at them because you.

1285
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 5: Can't get that close. Yeah, it's like it's like right there.

1286
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 7: Yes, and you'll and if you get that close to

1287
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 7: the bird, you'll scare it.

1288
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 2: Camera it's stationary.

1289
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: Should we get a bird camera on blue Cornet? I

1290
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: got the backboard that was pretty good. Anyway, I'm gonna

1291
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: take it. I guess set it up. I'll let you know.

1292
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: I'll report back.

1293
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I can't wait, but you have you.

1294
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: Should have it. You got the back forest watching. Yeah,

1295
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: you got a great bird spot.

1296
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: I've got eyes. You know what you should give to

1297
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 3: Karen and Scott glasses? They need glasses.

1298
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 5: You can have it. And then every time every week

1299
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 5: that could be your tweet of the night, is footage

1300
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 5: of your birds?

1301
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 3: What in an audio delight that would be?

1302
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 5: What about this?

1303
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 3: We're thinking of shorts, We're we're all sitting here thinking

1304
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: of shorts later on. We're all thinking Jerome clipping our

1305
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: hands right now. Anyway, Yeah, I'm worried as well. I'm

1306
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 3: definitely worried about the animals here in Atlanta snatching up.

1307
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 3: My neighbors not named Karen, but they are worried about

1308
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 3: their little dogs being snatched up because actually a snake

1309
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 3: got onto their front porch and strangled the life out

1310
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 3: of a squirrel. Whoa, yeah, just just just ate up

1311
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 3: a squirrel. Nature nature, right, And so they got worried.

1312
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 3: We've got little dogs, snakes could be choking the life

1313
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 3: out of.

1314
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: A little far fetched.

1315
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 3: Okay, well now we're talking well hawks swooping in and

1316
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 3: stealing dogs.

1317
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 5: But a snake eats a squirrel and you're worried about

1318
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 5: your dogs getting eaten by a snake. Cosmo has been

1319
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 5: bitten by a copperhead.

1320
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 3: He's fine, Cosmos one hundred pounds. We're talking about five

1321
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 3: pound dogs.

1322
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 5: Like versus a one pound squirrel.

1323
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: He was I just saw an instagram of you walking

1324
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: your cat on a leash.

1325
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 2: Well, there's birds and snakes.

1326
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 3: I got to protect my cat.

1327
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 5: Right, You're right, you're too too busy looking at the

1328
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 5: birds and snakes all around you.

1329
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 3: I've got no I've got cameras. All I've got I've

1330
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 3: got goggle cameras looking at Yeah, I've got drones just

1331
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 3: around the neighborhood. So I can go back and watch

1332
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 3: the footage and look at the birds. Scott, go outside, Karen,

1333
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 3: go outside, Buy some glass. I guess you can scare

1334
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,919
Speaker 3: the birds. I think it's a little ridiculous, JD.

1335
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 5: I think it's a bird cam.

1336
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 7: It's a cam for bird like yeah, like birds.

1337
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Bird Ever, I could tell you, like, you've never.

1338
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: In fact even seen a bird, really seen a bird.

1339
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 2: Up close.

1340
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 3: Some person I've sat beside tray Herby while he did

1341
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 3: bird calls out in nature. I'm sitting beside a bird.

1342
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 3: Sounded exactly like a bird.

1343
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 5: Listen, you're you're gonna get very excited if you get

1344
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 5: this bird cam. You put some sunflower seeds in there. Huh,

1345
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 5: it's your favorite.

1346
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 3: What do you get? You get blue jays? Blue jays

1347
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: around your You're right, I saw you get excited, get

1348
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 3: excited exactly. I said, Damn, that's too far. I wish

1349
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 3: I had a camera for that. Wish I had a

1350
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 3: camera for that bird.

1351
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: On that note, let's take our final break. When we

1352
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: come back, pick the results and tweet good night, don't

1353
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Okay, back here in the Classic Factory, pick

1354
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: them results from last night Calves Raptors game Toronto, favored

1355
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: by one and a half points. I took the Raps

1356
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: because I'm a homer, and I got it right, prove

1357
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: to ten and seven. You guys had the Calves to

1358
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: maybe cover there or pull out the victory in Toronto.

1359
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: You kept saying a little revenge from opening night, but

1360
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Calves are an average team without Jared

1361
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Allen manned down the middle. He is damn important to

1362
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: that squad. But Raps look really good with the Oakham returning.

1363
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: So task for six and eleven tray. You're eight to

1364
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: nine here in November, which just continues on task. It'll

1365
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: never end.

1366
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 3: Three game night tonight, it's a tight one. I guess

1367
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 3: you're probably mad at the schedule. You want five to

1368
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 3: seven games to be happy.

1369
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: I would have liked less games last night.

1370
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 3: Games tonight, yes, even Stevens tonight. Just three Knicks Pistons.

1371
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 3: The doubleheader on TNT is Warriors, Mavericks, Clippers, Blazers in

1372
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 3: that first game is what we're doing, the Warriors and

1373
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 3: the Mavericks. That's a tight line. The Warriors favored by

1374
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 3: a point and a half, so basically you pick them

1375
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 3: going into Dallas. The Warriors have been bad on the road,

1376
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 3: but playing a lot better lately. And I got into

1377
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 3: the document this morning. I allowed you guys make your

1378
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 3: picks first. You guys both picked the Warriors because you

1379
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 3: think they're just hot and the MAVs are struggling.

1380
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: That's our struggling. They're looking for a dub, aren't they.

1381
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 3: So I had to pick the Mavericks because we've got

1382
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 3: this unwritten rule like at the end of the game,

1383
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 3: you can't shoot when the shot clock is off. You

1384
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 3: can't pick the same team as the other two guys.

1385
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure why, but we do it anyway. I

1386
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 3: took the message can't break the code. So we'll see.

1387
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun this week. So that's the

1388
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 3: first game. Double a little Warriors earlier action.

1389
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. Ah, yep, good, okay.

1390
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 3: I was gonna say the Warriors at home, but they're not.

1391
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 3: They're on the road. That makes sense that they're in

1392
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 3: Dallas earlier, all right, So that's early in Dallas.

1393
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: It does just feel like an early game.

1394
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 3: What time is it in Dallas Center?

1395
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 2: They started at six thirty?

1396
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

1397
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. Let's get to tweet of the night.

1403
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 3: Unfortunately that last game doesn't mean anything for Canada.

1404
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: U no big game today, though I'm going to watch it.

1405
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go take it into a.

1406
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 2: Bar in America, USA.

1407
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: That's right. I gotta win to get in to the

1408
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,439
Speaker 1: knockout stage when you're in when you're a soccer slash

1409
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: football game, to get in a bar, in a bar

1410
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: with a bunch of people into it. So you check

1411
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: that out today.

1412
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you these people in the Lakers Arena yesterday,

1413
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 3: they were into a half court shot being made. Oh yeah,

1414
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 3: a bomb of a half court shot because Jamie Murray

1415
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 3: he let the ball go. I think it was equidistant

1416
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 3: between the three point line and the half court line,

1417
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 3: so it's a half court shot. But he just let

1418
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 3: it go. On the Lakers logo, he was played it

1419
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 3: really cool at first, and then he hit the gritty

1420
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 3: for seventy five k.

1421
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Wow. Now that is a half core payday.

1422
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 3: Seventy five thousand dollars hit that though. Yeah, that was

1423
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 3: a wild release.

1424
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: It was crazy enough strategy at all.

1425
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: No, no, but hey, hey, hey, look you knock it down.

1426
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Good for you. Oh I love a novelaty size check?

1427
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Would you love a big fake check?

1428
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 3: But it's it's not printed. What I don't like is

1429
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 3: they read well the numbers. They wrote it in with

1430
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 3: a sharpie seventy check you write your checks. Yeah, but

1431
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 3: novelties are always printed. Though, I hear what you're saying.

1432
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 3: I I want mine printed. I don't want sharpie work.

1433
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 3: Here's here's my theory frame it.

1434
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's it. Here's why I think you can dry

1435
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: erase that. Oh yeah, for sure, and then you can

1436
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: use it again.

1437
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, tomorrow when it's down to five thousand dollars,

1438
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 3: that poor sucker's only shooting for five K. I'm not

1439
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 3: sure how much that it goes down to. But anyway,

1440
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers bench loved it. They absolutely are hugs. You

1441
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 3: got a straight hug from Anthony Davis. The day that

1442
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 3: we had Ickballaconnie Hawks fan on who just hit his

1443
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 3: second in four years ten k each time, had to

1444
01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 3: make this.

1445
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: The tweeted the gold take ickball fifty years to get

1446
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: up to the seventy five K that this guy got

1447
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,919
Speaker 1: for his crazy shot in LA. Come on, Hawks, bump

1448
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: it up a little bit twenty five k.

1449
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 2: I think is a fair the minimum?

1450
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean ten the minimum? That should be the minimum.

1451
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: We've seen it like go, I think people won like

1452
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: a big screen TV. That's ridiculous. It's like four hundred bucks.

1453
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: I just keep it.

1454
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to keep it. They saw me make it.

1455
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's more important.

1456
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: But ten K minimum, I think twenty five k that.

1457
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 3: Sounds it's the casinos that are paying for it.

1458
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, they got up, they got it.

1459
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 3: They have the money, give some back. But is it

1460
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 3: a does accumulate? Is it?

1461
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do this one? Yeah? They

1462
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I like that like where you it's like I guess

1463
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the watery right where nobody wins?

1464
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 2: Roll it over?

1465
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, bump it up. But I don't know. Maybe it's

1466
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: always seventy five k from MGM there in La. Let

1467
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,480
Speaker 1: us know, Lakers fans in the stream team, what do

1468
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: they do with this one? Are they bumping it up

1469
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: if people don't miss it? Or is it always seventy

1470
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: five k? Because they got that Mullah, great question. Wish

1471
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: we knew the answer.

1472
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 3: We don't.

1473
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Hell of a shot. Hell of a shot? Is this like?

1490
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 5: Darren Dutchindson, So tsk you. The story is that you

01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 5: told us about how he came into the ts and offices,

1492
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:56,480
Speaker 5: and he was like, just add the first shirtless run yep, insufferable,

1493
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 5: right right? So I just I literally just tweet googled

1494
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 5: Darren Dutchison Jesus Christ okay Duchy's famous his famous.

1495

01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 5: Just dutchy the chisin what isn't duchessons Duchy Anyway, The

1497
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 5: first tweet is from twenty seventeen. But it was this

1498
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 5: just a beautiful day for a run down by the

1499
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 5: river saskatoona and you can see snow is a river,

1500
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 5: you know, and there's snow on the ground. So obviously

1501
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 5: he didn't go shirtless. So then, but then I didn't

1502
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 5: even have to look very far at all. It was

1503
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 5: the same search. Next to it was just a picture

1504
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 5: duchy guys ripped shirtless. So okay, all right, so now

1505
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 5: I get it.

1506
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 3: That's why he runs exactly. The ESPN hosts maybe more

1507
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 3: famous than Darrenedtition, but they do not look as good.

1508
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 3: There's no shirtless chance. He said. People were honking seeing

1509
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 3: him shirtless on the streets of Aurora, Ontario, and they

1510
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 3: definitely were look at that bod.

1511
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: We assume he still lives in Aurora, Ontario. He could, Yeah,

1512
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: probably does.

1513
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 5: That's his home gym, I assumed.

1514
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like a home. Jim all right, very.

1515
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 5: Serious about his fitness. So good for you, duchy.

1516
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 2: Pants.

1517
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 3: He sounds a little spiteful.

1518
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no no no. I think

1519
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 5: running without your shirt on in May in Aurora, Ontario.

1520
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 3: Okay, I did say, I did say May in Aurora Ontario.

1521
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 3: Like that makes a difference whether it's Aurora or Toronto

1522
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,720
Speaker 3: or why does no matter what city you're in.

1523
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 5: He could not fucking wait to get his shirt off

1524
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 5: running down the streets of Aurora. That's what I'm saying.

1525
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 3: Aurora is the GTA, It's it's Greater Toronto area. It's

1526
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 3: basically the city.

1527
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:02,639
Speaker 1: It's Richmond Hill, right.

1528
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 5: But the point is it's May, so.

1529
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 3: Said I said May, But it could have been July.

1530
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 3: It could have been July. Does that make a difference.

1531
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 3: It was probably made. He couldn't wait to get his bod.

1532
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a good tan. Yeah.

1533
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 5: Oh I get it.

1534
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I get it.

1535
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 3: People were wronget people were already a celebrity.

1536
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 5: He's gonna get recognized, and then he wants to add

1537
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 5: to its, like because he's he's in that suit all

1538
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 5: the time behind a desk.

1539
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,600
Speaker 3: Nobody can see my bod back exactly exactly.

1540
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,719
Speaker 5: You'd still see it with a shirt on, is my point.
