47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: another NBA Reddit podcast where we discuss some of our

Speaker 1: favorite NBA reddit threads over the last couple of weeks.

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, that'll be at one pm Eastern. I think

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: we got a great patch this week. I'm excited to

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: debate some of these topics and questions that people were

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: throwing out some of the users.

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, we kind of put the game talk aside. We

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: start talking about players we want to see win a

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: ring this season, the team that we were happy didn't

56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: win an NBA titled and the NBA history particular team

57
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: you know, like the twenty eleven Heat obviously, that kind

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: of thing. Yeah, it should be a lot of fun.

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: The redditors, the users came through with some good threads. Yep.

60
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: So that's later today around one pm Eastern again, join

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: us live here on YouTube. We'll flip that into a

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,080

63
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040

00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Hawks game, a little Luca versus Trey Young. If both

66
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: those guys are playing.

67
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: They better be. I assume they are. I assume the

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: Hawks in a row. The MAVs gotta steady the ship.

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Things aren't going great there.

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: It get started at seven thirty pm Eastern, and you

72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: can join us on playback. It's free. You then log

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,200

74
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, International League Pass, Hulu, Xfinity, whatever, YouTube, and

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: then we just kick it and watch the game. But

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna bounce around to You were a magician last

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: time tasks with the remote, so I hope you can.

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: I hope I can replicate as strong as you were

79
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: last yea. Yeah. My problem is looking at the schedule.

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to be jumping a lot. And

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: that doesn't bote wrong because the Cavs Grizzlies is on

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: at eight pm Eastern half an hour.

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: L Wow, that's tasty. But but then again you go

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: in with a game plan and then who knows what?

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Right, yes, right, you just gotta be ready, that's life.

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: And then the Knicks are also playing, so I'm a

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: Knicks man.

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: Good.

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: I want to see it. I want to see that

90
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: six man rotation. Tips going have you on the on

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: the big boys these days?

92
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy. He never does that.

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly wild new coaching style from tips. Okay, so

96
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: come hang with us tonight at seven thirty pm Eastern. Okay,

97
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: last night's game is only four on. I think we

98
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: can touch on all four of them, and we'll start

99
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: with Yokich leading the Nuggets past the Blazers for their

100
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: fourteenth straight home win. They cannot lose in the Mile

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: High City. And you'll getch once again, a monster thirty

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: six points, thirteen or fourteen shooting, he missed once, twelve

103
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: boards tennisis he did all this in thirty four minutes.

104
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: He's a plus nineteen in a game that they win

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: by nine, and you know they needed really all of

106
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: it because you had Damian Lillard going for thirty in

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: the first half and finishing with forty four. But uh,

108
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: this guy man the MVP front runner once again or not?

109
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 2: Is this going to happen?

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: I think what's going to happen is the debate's going

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: to be now. No, not like the Nuggets are like

112
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: far ahead of the Grizzlies here, who are on a

113
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: ten game win streak of their own. But my gut

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: says it's going to be Nuggets one seed and then

115
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: the Celtics and and Tatum as their MVP front front

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: are in the East as the one seed, and the

117
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: debate will then maybe happen between the two, but I

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: think it is if they're the number one seed, then

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 1: I don't see how he does it. Guy's averaging basically

120
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: a triple double here.

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: The only argument against him is going to be that

122
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: it would be the third time in a row. He

123
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: has the statistics to back it up, he's got the

124
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: team success to back it up. Doesn't get hurt a lot,

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: so we'll likely finish out the season. And I mean

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: thirty six points last night, his one make was a

127
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: buzzer beater. Heave three pointer that he actually missed. He

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: was yawning out there, and it felt like Jokic the

129
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 3: way he was playing, no real matchup for him inside.

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Nurkic always tries to ramp it up against

131
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: the Nuggets as they were as he was basically replaced

132
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: by Jokic there, they said, get out of here. We

133
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: got a guy coming in who's going to be the

134
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: awesomest possible version of you. And he just took it

135
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 3: to the trail Blazers. Thirty six points felt like basically

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: an accident for Jokic. He was just taking his time

137
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: and there's nothing that Portland could do about it.

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: I would just be astonished if this was five months

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: ago and you said that Jokic is going to win

140
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: the three peat, I would just be astonished that NBA

141
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: voters would do it. That would be the most surprising

142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: part that the NBA voters would do it. Obviously it

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: has to be a once, he'd be because it makes

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: it far different than year number two and year number one.

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: But Jokic obviously earned it. He was yawning, he was

146
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: chilling throughout this game, although he did do a good

147
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: job of helping to slow Dame down in the second

148
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: half because Damian Lillard, as you said, a thirty point

149
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: first half. The guy's gone forty four, forty thirty six,

150
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: fifty thirty and thirty four in his last six the

151
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: end with forty four in this one. But Jokic was

152
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: getting out there doing some tagging and trying to get

153
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: him off the three point line in the second half,

154
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: which they did. They did a good job of that.

155
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: They forced him into two point territory, and same old

156
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: story for the Blazers struggling defensively. It looks like it's

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: the same old team with guys who can't guard on

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: the perimeter. But it's a very, very difficult team to

159
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: guard when Jokic is up there at the high post

160
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: and you kind of match him with Aaron Gordon at

161
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: the high post, he was making some beauty passes. And

162
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: then reading about David Adelman, who subbed in for Michael

163
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: Malone as the Nuggets head coach in this one, and

164
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: him talking about his dad, Rick Adelman coaching the Sacramento

165
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: Kings in the heyday with Vladdie and Seaweb at the

166
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: high post, and we run a lot of that same stuff,

167
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: is what he implied. I can't unsee that now, just

168
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: thinking about Vladdy and Jokic up there, and Adamman a lifer,

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: been around the Blazers when he was a kid, so

170
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: it was it was good for him to do it

171
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: against the Blazers. He was a ball boy there and

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: watched the Drexler era and DeAndre Jordan was waiting behind

173
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 2: the door as David Adelman came in at postgame and

174
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: he got him with the bucket. The bucket of water

175
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: looked like a mop bucket that he was holding sounds gross.

176
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: I think the water was clean.

177
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: It was pure ice that looked like, yeah, Jordan had

178
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: all ice, and then everybody came in with their water bottles.

179
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: It's a soka.

180
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe I had a bad resolution. It looked like

181
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: some sort of liquid to me. But yeah, they're just

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: slicing and dice and and the worries. Some part is

183
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: for the Blazers. I can't stop anybody now, but it

184
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: is Jokic. But still they've fallen back to earth defensively.

185
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Michael Porter Junior too, four for six

186
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: from deep nine to thirteen. Overall, this is obviously great

187
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: news for the Nuggets. I mean, I think in order

188
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: for them to go to a finals, win a championship,

189
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: even with Jokich obviously as your MVP and Jamal Purry

190
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and Jamal Murray as your second guy there, you're gonna

191
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: need big, big Michael Porter moments and games in playoff series.

192
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: And you know, this is a good sign where he

193
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: goes for twenty three points and you know, even even

194
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: chipping in four boards there, He's not gonna go He's

195
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: not gonna wrack up a lot of assists this guy

196
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: because he's a shooter and that's his part. But he

197
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: hit four threes to go with Murray's three threes. That's

198
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: awesome shooters around Yoki. Yeah that works.

199
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And that's also nice when you're playing against

200
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: guys that are six inches shorter than you. Porter had

201
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: so many jumpers where it's just like, oh Dan Willard

202
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: is on me. That's an easy bucket right there. But

203
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: I was most impressed with the defense that the Nuggets

204
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: played in the second half. Took away three pointers, forced

205
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of turnovers Portland in the first half,

206
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: eleven for twenty five from three second half two of fifteen.

207
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: Turned the ball over four times in the first half.

208
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: The Trailblazers dead nine times in the second. They scored

209
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: forty six total points. The Nuggets played defense in the

210
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: second half of games. The offense is always there, and

211
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: they always went at home because they have those crooked

212
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: rims and they've mastered them.

213
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Have. Yeah, they're definitely going to be wanting to hold

214
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: onto that number one seat, not only to get Yo

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Kich another MVP or a possible MVP but to have

216
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: that home court advantage with those crooked rims and the

217
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: mile high city altitude there right not. You know, they're

218
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: seventeen and three in their last twenty games. Denver is

219
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: and again Memphis is won ten straight and they can't

220
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: get past them in the standings. They're was like holding

221
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: them off because both these teams playing at an unbelievable level.

222
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Right now, Well, let's spin from Yokich back to back

223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: MVP guy possibly going first third in a row, to

224
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: the guy that keeps coming up runner up, and that's

225
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Jowell Embiid. He scored forty one seventy six ers, dominate

226
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: the Clippers one twenty to one ten and he takeaways

227
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: from this one besides the obvious, which is Embiid is,

228
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, really just as much a monster as Yo Kitch.

229
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: At times they go about it in different ways, but

230
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: my god, this he's on a heater right now too.

231
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. I was a little bit

232
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: worried about this game because it was our Pickham game.

233
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: I ended up taking the seventy six ers. They played

234
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: in La two nights ago. I was worried about the

235
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: La flew staying overnight James Harden. He caught it six

236
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: point nine six. He only took six shots last night,

237
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: but it didn't matter because Embiid carried the team through

238
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 3: three quarters for the most part, and then Tyrese Maxey

239
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: was huge for Philadelphia to start the fourth Quartery scored

240
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: the first eleven points for Philly in the fourth. He

241
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 3: hit three threes, he hit a couple of free throws.

242
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: He's been coming off the bench the past couple of games,

243
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: which I think is a little bit of a credit

244
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: to Doc Rivers, though he did say it was Tyrese

245
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: Maxey's idea to come off the bench, though Maxie said

246
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: it was Doc rivers idea, So I don't know whose

247
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: idea it was.

248
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: They like each other, then that's good, I guess, and.

249
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: It's working and they're winning because it's a nice little

250
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: combo shake. Milton and Tyrese Maxey two fastest guys on

251
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: the sixers, so it's a completely different look than it

252
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: is when it's Embiden Harden just kind of pounding the ball. Nonetheless,

253
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: Maxi was great than the starter's check back in They

254
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: scored eleven straight points with Embiid and then Niang hitting

255
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: a three there, but Philadelphia. They've won sixteen of their

256
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: last twenty YEP top five offense during that stretch, top

257
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: five defense this season, top five and three point percentage

258
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: for the season. Right now, they're looking like one of

259
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: the better teams in the Eastern Conference. Of course, nobody

260
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: buys it until it's playoff time.

261
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: Ye, But I think the Tyres Maxie to the bench

262
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: thing is smart whoever came up with it, and it's

263
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: productive because Maxi wasn't being utilized enough in the first unit,

264
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: even though he's a twenty point per game guy. The

265
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: focus is obviously on James having the ball in his

266
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: hand to buyas to some degree and all embiid so

267
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: it's like he doesn't have enough opportunity and he's taken

268
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: on this role and run with it. I know it's

269
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: not a huge sample size, but he basically said to

270
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: the bench, you know quotes from everybody in this game, Hey,

271
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: we're down, we need to get this thing going, we

272
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: need to get this thing right. In the fourth quarter.

273
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: He absolutely did that because the offense was on him

274
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: and that doesn't really happen with the first unit, and

275
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: because it's just so heavily relied upon the first unit

276
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: is just so it's so embid, it's so hard, there's

277
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: just so much on those guys. Max he can be

278
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: himself and those thirteen fourth quarter points huge, and yeah,

279
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: he's got something going on with Shake Milton, but also

280
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: with Montrez Harrel. They won the non embid minutes. You

281
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't think that would happen with this Philadelphia seventy six

282
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: ers team. And he makes Harold a better player, and

283
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: they're only a half game back of the Bucks for

284
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: the second seed, and we know the Bucks are sort

285
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: of a team that is in chill note at times,

286
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: and yeah, they're coming for that second seed because I

287
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: think this, this, this, this whole configuration of the roster

288
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: just makes embiid a little bit more bouncy because he

289
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be relied on as much at all times.

290
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: He looked great defensively too. He was blocking yea, he

291
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: goes and gets it and he did not have the

292
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: La flu. He was asked postgame, you know that you've

293
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: never lost to a Clippers or Lakers team in this building,

294
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: and he goes, oh, well, you could probably say the

295
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: same about the Bulls and the Knicks. I got a

296
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: good record against them too, just going after them.

297
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: The Bulls have literally never beat joellenb.

298
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, he's right, he was on it. He

299
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: was on it. And I guess he's never lost to

300
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: the Lakers in that building or the Clippers.

301
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Really surprising, that's a little surprising.

302
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: I guess some games he doesn't play, but when they've

303
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: never lost.

304
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Isn't he doesn't he do commercials for Crypto dot com

305
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: or Mike Crazy, isn't em beat in some of those,

306
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: And that's what the building is called. And you know,

307
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe he gets a he's more fired up there trying

308
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: to show off in front of his own sponsors. He

309
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: was a monster. And what about the Clippers here, I

310
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: feel like it's getting overlooked a little bit. Them struggling.

311
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: They're like they fell apart in the fourth quarter offensively.

312
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: I think that's happened a couple of times this season.

313
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: They're two and eight over the last ten. Here they

314
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: fall into five hundred. Is a game where the guys

315
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, so there's no excuse there, Kawhi

316
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: playing thirty six minutes, you know, Paul George playing around

317
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. But they just look so average, And a

318
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: big part of it is because like their offense just

319
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: looks pretty brutal.

320
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: Eighteen turnovers for the Clippers last night, and it really

321
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: felt like they ran out of steam as the night

322
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: came back. They had a good third quarter, but that

323
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: kind of took all of their energy to even get

324
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: it close going into the fourth, and then they kind

325
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 3: of fell apart in the fourth quarter. It's hard to

326
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: build chemistry and continuity and flow on offense when you

327
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: don't know who's going to be playing every single night.

328
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: So to me, turnovers are a huge problem for the

329
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: Clippers in general. Starts to games have been a problem

330
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: for the Clippers in general, and that all kind of

331
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: filters through figuring out the day of what your team

332
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: is going to look like when you go out there

333
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: to play. It's impossible for ty Lu to figure out

334
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: a way to get things on the right path. This

335
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: is a crazy offensive season for the entirety of the league,

336
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: and the Clippers have two guys who are supposed to

337
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: be superstars and they have a terrible offense. You just

338
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: got to play, I mean, you have to play. Kawhi

339
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: is looking like he's moving better. Paul George was obviously

340
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: finally back last night, But this team is not going

341
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: to be a serious team until they're able to play

342
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: twenty games together.

343
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean top ten defensively, eighth overall defensive rating,

344
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: but twenty sixth in the league.

345
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: Like that's like being the thirtieth because look at the

346
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: worst teams.

347
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, And this is, you know, a team

348
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: obviously considered potential title contenders are at least at the

349
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: start of season. A lot of people were picking the

350
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Clippers to get there or win this whole damn thing.

351
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: But look, we're pigging them a couple of weeks ago.

352
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: It's still because the West seems like it's wide open.

353
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: But they're always coming back. The first half deficits are

354
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: real every single time, and they're able to come back,

355
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: but they can't close out games. I do like the

356
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: idea of a better point guard in there to get

357
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: the shots in the proper spots, doing a little more penetrating,

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: because that's where they're lacking. They're lacking the flow on

359
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: offense because they don't move the ball enough. They rely

360
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: on too many jump shooters. And I do think you think.

361
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: They can look could help.

362
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: I think so.

363
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: Player of Mike Conley's caliber.

364
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. The players of Mike Conley's iq

365
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 2: ILK moving the thing around, but they also don't come

366
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: to play in the first half, and that's a big problem.

367
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they show that they have great stretches, but

368
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: that's that's not enough.

369
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: Moving on, Drew Holiday score a season high thirty seven.

370
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Bucks beat the Raptors one thirty two, one twenty two.

371
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: I know you always like when the the NBA YouTube

372
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: page gives you an epic duel between two players. Well,

373
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: they put just duel. They didn't go epic duel, but

374
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: it was a good duel between the point codes.

375
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: I'm happy about that too.

376
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: Andrew Holiday and Fred van Vliet during thirty seven points

377
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty six six boards, seven assists Van Vleet

378
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: thirty nine points, nine boards, seven assists. That's on the press,

379
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: a piss of epic. Yeah, it's just a good damn

380
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: duel between these two guards. And you want to talk

381
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: about a team running out of gas, I think that

382
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: sort of happened here to the Toronto Raptors who are playing.

383
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, both both teams playing in a back to

384
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: back situation. No Johannis by the way, no Middleton for

385
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: the Bucks. So there's that part but the Raptors are

386
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, played an overtime game in MSG. They have

387
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: the travel. You know it was a later afternoon game.

388
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: I get that, so it wasn't at night. But Nick

389
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Nurse just sticks with his eight man rotation. Really seven

390
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: doesn't give his start as much of a break because

391
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: he can't really afford to. He doesn't trust anybody on

392
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: the bench. And you had a lot of these guys Barnes, Siakam,

393
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: Trent van Vliet playing massive minutes on that Monday against

394
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: the Knicks when they pull it out in overtime, and

395
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: then playing most of them flirting with that forty minute mark,

396
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: if not over in this one. And I thought they

397
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: did fade a little bit in the second half, though

398
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what he's supposed to do if

399
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't trust Coloco and Fad and so on, which

400
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Nick Nurse he is not.

401
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: I don't know why the starting is the starting backcourt

402
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: for the Raps, who are amongst trade rumors in Fred

403
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: van Vliet and Gary Trent came out shot the ball

404
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: extremely well and scored, but they were not slowing down

405
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: the Bucks in that first quarter to give up forty

406
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: four points to a team without Chris and Yannis. That's

407
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: that's just not stopping the ball in the perimeter. So yeah,

408
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: whether or not they were tired or not, that's just unacceptable.

409
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: And then they did it again to them in the

410
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: thirty in the third quarter with thirty eight, the guys

411
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: like Joe Ingles getting to the rim. I know he

412
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: did a lot of his damage from three point land,

413
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: but Joe Ingles should not be getting to the rim,

414
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: scoring an a one and talking smack to your best players.

415
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: Should not be able to do that on a basketball floor.

416
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: He shouldn't. As much as I love Joe Ingles and

417
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: he as much as he talks crap, they're not There's

418
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: not enough pride on the defensive end with this team.

419
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: And there's the record again, it's the same old song.

420
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: It ain't right, it ain't right. This Raptors team should

421
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: not be allowing so many points. And their best player

422
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: who was playing on the floor. Obviously Drew was great,

423
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: but Brooke was killing him. And he gets tossed in

424
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: the middle of the fourth quarner and they can go, yeah.

425
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. Let's talk about that real quick.

426
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: One of the weirder rejections you're gonna see in the NBA.

427
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: It was like midway through the fourth things are getting

428
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: a little chippy. The Bucks are up by three, is

429
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: a very close game. There's an altercation between Gary Trent

430
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Junior and Brook Lopez, you know, doing that thing where

431
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: like the guy, they won't let go of each other. Yes,

432
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, and that happens, but so Brooke just decides

433
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk your ass, like basically baseline as we're

434
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: locked up here, and while we're doing it, Brooke rips

435
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: off Gary Trent Junior's headband and then that sort of

436
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: gets us into the little dust up. Bog's in there,

437
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: We got Jamal mcglure in there. We had a lot

438
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: of people in there, and in the end, after a

439
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: very lengthy review, Lopez is tossed because he got two

440
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: technical fouls, one for the removing of Trent's headband, the

441
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: other for a push on Og. And we also had

442
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: text called on Og and Jamal mcglure and mcglure got

443
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: it like the assistant coaches that they're allowed to come

444
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: in and break it up, but you're not supposed to

445
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: like sort of push the other players. You're supposed to

446
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: grab your own guy, like stan Van said that on

447
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: the broadcast, like generally you're just supposed to put your

448
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: hands on your own guys and pull them away. But

449
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: he gave somebody a shove anyway, no foul shots because

450
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: they equaled each other out there, but Brook Wist tossed

451
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: and then he had some insane quotes after this game.

452
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: So I don't even know where to start with, well,

453
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: what he was talking about of why he did it.

454
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: I guess I guess my.

455
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: Favorite part of the Brook Lopez interview. I'm guessing he

456
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: was crediting Eric name when he's like, you know, I

457
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 3: make mistakes, Refs make mistakes, You make mistakes. Eric doesn't

458
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: make as many mistakes as us, but everybody makes mistakes.

459
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: I thought that's what he was saying, But I don't know.

460
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: I guess that was kind of the referees and the

461
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: NBA immediately and just kind of right away coming out

462
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: and saying, hey, you can't take anybody else's headband off,

463
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: because they had to give him a two piece technical

464
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: for specifically. They're like, hey, Bill, make sure you say

465
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: it's for taking his head band off, because he got

466
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: it for that, and he got it for the push

467
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: if you do one or the other. Brook Lopez still

468
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: plays the game, But I was kind of with you guys.

469
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: I thought that would be maybe a turning point for

470
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: the Raptors. Yea, because Lopez was eating inside. Yeah, once

471
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: it goes down to everybody out there's in six nine zone.

472
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be Raptor's advantage. But

473
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: apparently not. Brook Lopez, though fifteen years it took for

474
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: him to get ejected from a game. That's pretty am first.

475
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: Career because the Lopez Bros. Snap at Yeah last night.

476
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, even after the altercation, he was sort of

477
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: going nuts on the sideline. He was saying something about

478
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: the headband was like possessed.

479
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 2: He was talking to him.

480
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: He was really not making a one of sense. I

481
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: don't know how much was it was a joke. I'm

482
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: sure a lot of it because he's a character.

483
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, he had his arms hooked. Gary Trent was

484
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: trying to keep him off the glass. Yeah, and so

485
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: he had his arms hooked for a good six seconds.

486
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: It was a wild it was. That's like an attorney

487
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: in the NBA, So him flicking a headman was totally

488
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: fine by my standards. I was so confused.

489
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: So you guys are not okay with somebody slapping that ass.

490
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: You think that warrants a flagrant as we talked about yesterday.

491
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: But you're fine with somebody taking somebody's headband off. That's

492
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: not an unsportsmanlike or you know, at least can instigate

493
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: something like this.

494
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: Larry, who had his ass slapped, did nothing of the sort.

495
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: Was not holding anybody else. He was not holding Kevin

496
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: Love down, Gary who was doing the holding of Brooks arms.

497
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: He is at fault to some degree. And that's why

498
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Bill Kennedy, the NBA referee, pulled out a notebook like

499
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: he was a police officer taking notes. He was, and

500
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: that was so wild. I've never seen a notebook, And

501
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: for Bill Kennedy, that's below him. Some people say he

502
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: was showing off. I think the opposite. It's like a

503
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: waiter who can mend rise everything. Bill Kennedy should be

504
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: able to memorize everything. Wasn't that much those three notes.

505
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: It was three people. Three people had had some sort

506
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: of foul called against them. I know Brooke had two.

507
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 2: So I was still confused. I heard the name mcglore

508
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: on my head. Yeah, he must be making a mistake.

509
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: He must be reading a notepad because it hasn't been

510
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: used in twenty years. When Jamal mcglure played Anyways, that

511
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: was confusing. Bill loved it, though I thought we just

512
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: lost some of the Bill charisma with the notepad reading.

513
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: I still got that sweet ass voice. Yeah, it was

514
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: a weird, weird incident. And again I don't want to

515
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: gloss over like Drew Holiday's playing this the last two games,

516
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Like he said that his season high over the last

517
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: two I believe with the thirty thirty five game prior

518
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: and then thirty seven last night, and he is right

519
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: now just has a great feel of like when we

520
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: need to stop the bleeding or a run or hit

521
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: a big shot, it's either getting to the rim, setting

522
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: up guys, getting into the paint, touching paint, kicking out,

523
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: or or stepping it into a three with confidence. He

524
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: is he is. He's making a very very late push

525
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: for like a like an All Star. No, I don't

526
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna get across the line there because

527
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: of how talented this league is right now, but yeah,

528
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: he's good timing on his part.

529
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 3: Jis went out and Drew Holliday has completely stepped up

530
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: like you're saying back to back season highs in the

531
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: four games that Giannis has been sitting with niece horness.

532
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

533
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty seven points per game, nine point eight assists

534
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: per game, almost five boards, fifty nine forty eight, seventy

535
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 3: five in the fourth quarter, sixty two percent from the field.

536
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: Drew Holiday has been awesome since Giannis went down. It's

537
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: weird to see him as kind of a hot, high

538
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: volume player, Yeah, just because you don't really expect that

539
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: from Drew Holiday. So there are a lot of ups

540
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: and downs, I feel like, but it's all up in

541
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.

542
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was having flashbacks to the end of the

543
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: conference finals when they ended up winning the championship and

544
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Giannis was down for that period and ended up coming

545
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: back for Game one of the finals, and they had

546
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: the Drew Brooks Show when they they did step up. Yes,

547
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 2: So if any one called it epic duel on YouTube,

548
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: I was kind of okay with it. And I listened

549
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: to the Daily Ding. They talked about the dueling of

550
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: Fred and Drew. But the sneaking in of a guy

551
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: like Grayson Allen, who had twenty five in this game,

552
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: just speaks to the lack of any sort of any

553
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: sort of defense, I mean any sort of resistance from

554
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: the Raps just to just to tag get a tag

555
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: in there from the strong side, hit the guy coming

556
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: in the lane. And there was like if Grayson is

557
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: getting to the room over and over and over again.

558
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: He was so comfortable and he has been better, there's

559
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 2: no doubt, and he's getting more touches with yannies out.

560
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: But there's too many guys just just strolling into the lane.

561
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: So the Bucks are they're treading water here without yes

562
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 2: in Middleton and Middleton should be coming back, but the

563
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 2: Sixers could take home court advantage from them very very soon.

564
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I think what happened between the Bucks and Raptors last

565
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: night is before the game, they got together, maybe the captains,

566
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: maybe the coaches were like a couple of weeks ago,

567
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: we were on national television. We scored like twenty five

568
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: total points in the first quarter, and it was real,

569
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: it was a bad game, like no defense night, have

570
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: very little defense. Shoot the lights out, you know, give

571
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: him a show. And they agreed to that because it

572
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: was like it was the date and night those two

573
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: games between these teams, uh, basically two weeks apart on

574
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: there last night.

575
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned Grayson Allen, though, because I think

576
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: that that is the worst feeling in the NBA. Grayson Allen,

577
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: carve your team up. Yeah, there's nothing worse. No, I

578
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: mean any other player You're like, hats off to him.

579
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy.

580
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: You're like, come on, man, I just want to walk

581
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: away fourteen points in the third quarter, and I was

582
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 3: mad for you.

583
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, straight lines.

584
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: You're glad you said that.

585
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: I didn't have to.

586
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: He killed the Bulls in games three and four in

587
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. Still salty about it, Grayson Allen?

588
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: Is he going gray on the sides or is it

589
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 3: just a short haircut? Does he got a task Melis

590
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: cal Rick and Trey Kirby look or is it just

591
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 3: that tight fade? I think he's gray Son.

592
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm pretty great tell.

593
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: I've never looked at his hair because I only look

594
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: at his stupid face punge every time. But yeah, he's

595
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: he's he killed them there last night final game, Keldon

596
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Johnson hit a career high thirty six. Caught me by surprise, Like,

597
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: what that's his career high? Really? Okay, thirty six? He'll

598
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: break it, I'm sure in the next couple of weeks there,

599
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: but uh Spurs top the Nets, who are on a

600
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: bit of a slide with no KD of course, and

601
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: then no Kyrie last night, sitting this one out and

602
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: the Spurs snapped their five game skid. There was also

603
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: a dust up in this one task between the Rooks,

604
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: Sohan and one of the Morse twins getting into it

605
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: and hitting the ground. It was a nice take down

606
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: there from Soh. Even Morris said to say respect.

607
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually did like a wrestling move on me,

608
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: he said, markif Morris, I said, that's impressive. I told

609
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: him it was impressive because he used a lot of

610
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: force and he kind of flipped me.

611
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: He got me.

612
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: That's awesome, man. If you impressed markif Morris with your

613
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: in game fighting, you've done something in the NBA. So

614
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: Jeremy Sohan a fighter to watch for the future.

615
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

616
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a tough dude as a rook coming in

617
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: battling in an oldie like that. Must be ten years

618
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: as elder, no problem. That was pretty cool.

619
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

620
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: The Nets obviously don't have enough offense. It was hard

621
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: determining who was the Net, which team was the Nets,

622
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: and which team was the Spurs in this game because

623
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: they're both weren't black and white on on the Spurs

624
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: home floor, get attle color? Well, just change it up

625
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: for me a little bit, but they'll worries some part

626
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: for the Nets in this game. With no Kyrie caff injury,

627
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: who's going to score? TJ weren't tried to help off

628
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: the bench. I thought, I thought we'd see maybe a

629
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: Cam Thomas in the starting lineup to light it up.

630
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: And I know we talk about Ben Simmons and the

631
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: things he can't do more so than the things he

632
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: can do, but he definitely could have been scoring a

633
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: little bit more in this game. But that's not his thing.

634
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: He you know, he does a lot of other He

635
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: does a lot of other things. He was distributing and

636
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: I guess one other thing about the nets. Just watch

637
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: this game. Because we always talk about Kevin Drant and

638
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: Kyrie and Ben Simmons, even TJ Warren to some degree,

639
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: we don't talk about Nick Claxton and what he is

640
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: doing defensively. He he's a scary dude to go up

641
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: against near the rim. He's having a great year, a

642
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: breakout year here in year four. He had four blocks

643
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 2: in this one. You don't want to go near that dude.

644
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: But will he get into foul trouble in the playoffs.

645
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: That's the biggest work. He felled out of this game

646
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: in only twenty eight minutes. That's the worry for the

647
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Net says they get to the trade deadline. I

648
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 2: am oh, and I say the trade deadline. Guys who

649
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: are in trade rumors. Josh Richardson, huge block for this person.

650
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: That was awesome. John Morant like him.

651
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, doublele hi. He got way high on a fast

652
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 2: break an Yaka Pertle who is hot hot hot in rumors.

653
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: Everybody wants, everybody wants.

654
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: They apparently want two first round picks for him.

655
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

656
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, get you a Drew U Banks for four years.

657
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: Drew you Banks is just as good yakam Perlow.

658
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: I saw you tweet.

659
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: That's you know it's true.

660
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: You know it's true that far No. I think when

661
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: you you put on the well the way you worded

662
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: the tweet, correct me if I'm wrong. It is like

663
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: forget giving up first round picks for Yaka Pearl when

664
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: you could get a U Banks for in theory, much

665
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: much much cheaper.

666
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, right.

667
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: And then the and then off.

668
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Banks, I'll take it.

669
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: U Bank's huge block on black chanchar last.

670
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: Dunk was not going in even if if he wasn't there.

671
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: If U Banks wasn't, there no chance for Chunch on

672
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: that one. Why didn't Kyrie Irving play last night? I

673
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: don't know, and this late scratch he didn't play because

674
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: he didn't want to because they were playing the Spurs

675
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: two days off since their game that they last played

676
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: two days off. The next game, Kyrie should have played.

677
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: They're saying, I believe it was a sore right calf

678
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: was the reason why if you if you believe it,

679
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: I know this is like, look when when Katie went

680
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: down with this injury, we sat here and said, it's

681
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: different than last year. You got deeper team, they'll be fine.

682
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: We were looking at the schedule with trade deadline all

683
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: or excuse me, all Star weekend around the corner. But

684
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: they've lost three straight now. They lost at home to Boston, okay,

685
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: a very good team. They lost at home to Okce Okay.

686
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: They're playing sort of lights out right now, but probably

687
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: win you should have. And then they lose on the

688
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: road to the Spurs. And they're still on a road

689
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: trip here and I don't know if you saw the

690
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: board going around on Twitter last night. Somebody screen grabbed it.

691
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: But like the potential of deja vus to last year,

692
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the NETS were second in the East twenty seven and

693
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: fifteen record. Early twenty twenty two, I'm talking about now

694
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: early twenty twenty three, NETS were second in the East

695
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven and thirteen record. Last year, Katie goes down

696
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: left MCL, they win that game that he goes out.

697
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: This year, Katie goes out right MCL, they win that

698
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: game that he goes out. And now last year twenty

699
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: one games that he missed, and their season completely spiraled

700
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: out of control. They went five and sixteen and then

701
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: we're playing catch up from there on out and now

702
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: zero and three here, Tass, I know it's it's it's

703
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: only one game sample yet, but these are That's a

704
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: bad loss, very bad loss, and a bit perplexing that

705
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: Kyrie wasn't playing in it. I'm with you on that.

706
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: Another reason we thought it would be different is because

707
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: it felt like it was gonna be a shorter injury

708
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: with Kevin Durantley, it wouldn't be as long a window.

709
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: But what's happening in the NBA is there isn't just

710
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: this estimation for when he'll come back. Now, it's we'll

711
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: reevaluate in two weeks time. Everybody's doing. It's so hot

712
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: right now it's happening with Anthony Davis. I don't like it.

713
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't like it because it's it's just you can't

714
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: determine when somebody's coming back. But Kyrie was supposed to

715
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: be the guy who carried this team during this stretch.

716
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: And yeah, the calf injury was reported pretty late, so

717
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly how how intense the injury is.

718
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like much of an injury at all

719
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: because Jaquevon was interviewed just reading now pregame and he

720
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: basically said he reported a little tightness Kyrie the reporter,

721
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: So hopefully he'll be back. But I didn't have high

722
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: expectations that they would have a great record with Kyrie

723
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: as a number one. I don't think that's proven to

724
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: be true throughout his NBA career. But I thought they'd

725
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: go a little more offense because they're lacking that with

726
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: those two dudes. They rely so much on those two dudes.

727
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, Nick and Ben beside them, they're not

728
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 2: gonna score. So I want a cam, show me a cam.

729
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: I think that can be A guy can be a

730
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: he can be a scoring I mean he's gonna.

731
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 3: Shoot fifteen last night. Yeah, so yeah, he should probably

732
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 3: start because I mean, the Nets will not win any

733
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: games if Ben Simmons is their lead ball handler. I

734
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: don't think seven turnovers last night. He did finish with

735
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: a triple double, but it's because he passes it every

736
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: single time rather than looking at the hoop. He's made

737
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: one or I guess he made two free throws last night,

738
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 3: which is pretty good. But this team is going to

739
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: really struggle if they don't have Kyrie Irving in the lineup.

740
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: He should have played last night. I mean, maybe this

741
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: is a calf injury that keeps him out a while,

742
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: but I imagine he'll be back.

743
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Their next game. We will see. All right, those are

744
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: last night's four our games. We're gonna take our first

745
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: break when we come back. It's been so long since

746
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: we've played a little fill in the blank, don't go

747
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: anywhere all right here in the Classic Factory, shout out

748
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: to everybody again here live in the stream team on YouTube.

749
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: We love it. Hit the like button if you haven't subscribe,

750
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: if for some reason you haven't done that as well. Okay,

751
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since we played this. It's

752
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: time for filling the blank. It's been so long I

753
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: don't even remember this graphic. Tell me it's new, Please

754
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: tell me that's new.

755
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 4: I realized like this morning that we haven't done it

756
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 4: in a while, so like, oh, we're gonna need a

757
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 4: graphic for that. So it's a bit of a scramble.

758
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: Have we have we even ever done? Fill in the blank?

759
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: Has no dunks?

760
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 4: I think we did it once, but audio only.

761
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, Yeah, I just thought it would be fun

762
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: to do here. I got some random sort of topics,

763
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: and so we can make some fun questions off of

764
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: them by filling in the blank. First one, we had

765
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors visiting the White House on Tuesday

766
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: to celebrate winning the twenty twenty two NBA title after

767
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: they were playing in Washington there on Monday. So I

768
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: thought I'd ask you fill in the blank. Best part

769
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: of the Warriors white House visit was blank the.

770
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 2: Team photo, I thought. Okay, President Biden on a knee.

771
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: Took a knee, Yeah, took a knee. Everyone was standing.

772
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: Everyone else was standing. I just thought it was funny.

773
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: He felt like he was six years old for his

774
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 2: te ball team or something, so he taken a knee

775
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: or like a football team. It didn't seem right, but

776
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 2: I think he was just being funny. Then he got up,

777
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: popped up and did a little defensive shuffle. He got in,

778
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: got into the defensive stance. Gave him a one to two. Yeah,

779
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: I played defense. Yeah, I'm ready to go. So I

780
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: thought that was great. I thought that was the best part. Yeah,

781
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: he may have forgotten Clay's name.

782
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:04,479
Speaker 1: It was my favorite part. Curry, dray bad. You didn't

783
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: want to commit to saying Clay because he forgot it.

784
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: So he said this great team, great team, great team.

785
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so the photo with specially President Biden taking a knee. There,

786
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: what's your favorite part spilling the blank?

787
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: There?

788
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 3: Mine is Steph Curry announcing his candidacy for president. Wow,

789
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: this guy seems very presidential right now. Part of the

790
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: press briefing. He was announced alongside Joe Biden. When they

791
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 3: came in for the ceremony. There are a curiously high

792
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 3: number of solo shots of stuff standing at a podium

793
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: looking very very presidential Draymond Green even said I think

794
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 3: stuph could someday run for president of the United States.

795
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: Smart put together doesn't really make mistakes. Why not, I'm

796
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: in they didn't appear like his first campaign events.

797
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it appeared like they were running mates when they

798
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: were walking together, and you see the photos and like, like,

799
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: I can't like, this is going to turn into a meme, right,

800
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: especially of just Steph standing at the White House podium,

801
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure there's already some funny tweets about it

802
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: and all that. Like, I don't know, I think I

803
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: saw one him banning dunking. You know, it's getting rid

804
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: of that in the NBA, like no questions and stuff

805
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: like that. But yeah, look the part which he does.

806
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go into politics.

807
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: Ye, another one hundred and fourteen days, he'll be old

808
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 3: enough to be president of the United States.

809
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a thing I always forget about. Thirty

810
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: five Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, cool. Anyway, you can go

811
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: check that out on the NBA YouTube page. I think

812
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: there's the whole eighteen minute clip there, and it was

813
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: cool that I think. Yeah, it was Kerr and Curry

814
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: involved in like briefings and stuff. Like that, and then

815
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: it was Kerr and Clay and I believe Moses Moody.

816
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: They were sort of on a panel talking about gun

817
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: violence in America and how the administration's going about trying

818
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: to you know, advocate for gun control and stuff like that.

819
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: So Bratty needs stuff there and been a long time

820
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: since the Warriors had been at the White House too, right,

821
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: They went the first one, the first win with Korean

822
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: and Company in fifteen, and then didn't go when President

823
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Trump with there and now back with Biden there all right,

824
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: next one. These are like of the crystal ball variety.

825
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: I want straight predictions from you guys. Fill in the blank.

826
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: Biggest name to be traded this deadline will be.

827
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: Og Annoby. Oh sorry, I hate to.

828
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: Do it, but yeah, that's a name that's a big,

829
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, not all star buzz.

830
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: There's an incredible amount of buzz. I feel like it's

831
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 3: a lot of Raptors Pelicans centric buzz. Obviously we had CJ.

832
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: McCollum talking about rumblings for the Raptors, but also we've

833
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: had reports, I think for Brian Windhorse basically saying if

834
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: you've got or I think it was Shoan's actually saying,

835
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 3: if you got the picks, you could make a run

836
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: at Pascal Siakra or og Anaoby. It feels like the

837
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: Raptors could be sellers at the very least, and of

838
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: teams that will could be sellers, og is going to

839
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: be coveted because he fits with so many teams. Everybody

840
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 3: wants a wing defender who can make corner threes, and

841
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 3: he's got a long enough contract that it doesn't feel

842
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: like it's just for a rental. So a lot of

843
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: smoke around Toronto. It'll be surprising if Masiujeri actually trades

844
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: a guy that he drafted.

845
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

846
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: I feel like something's happening on the Raptors.

847
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll be a smaller name on the Aps.

848
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: Gary seems like the one to be going. If you're

849
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: going to another level, I think it would be Fred.

850
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of smoke around the Wraps. It

851
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 2: is a little difficult for them to just tank where

852
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: they are in the standings. They're a little too high

853
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 2: in the standings to get real bad to get amongst

854
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: the bottom feeders. So I wonder if it's going to

855
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: be a team the teams that are really selling we're

856
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: talking Hornets, Rockets, Pistons, Spurs. Of those four, there's going

857
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 2: to be the biggest names dealt from those teams for sure.

858
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: So I think the Hornets will be sellers. And this

859
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: isn't a big name currently, but it could be for

860
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: a month or two. Gordon Hayward could be good for

861
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: a team for a while.

862
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: Now, that's all you're gonna say, PJ. Washington.

863
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 2: PJ Washington. I think Terry Rozier, even though his contract

864
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 2: is longer, would be a little bit more coveted, but PJ.

865
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: Washington more gettable for sure. So there's lots of names

866
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 2: we just bandied about, Several Raptors, several Hornets, and there's

867
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: got to be Pistons on the docket. The Rockets are

868
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: an interesting one. They've got so many young parts. Do

869
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 2: you want to take on a bad contract I just

870
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 2: mentioned Gordon. Do you want to take on a bad

871
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: contract like Gordon Hayward's and try and go for it

872
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: and give up a pick or something of that, or

873
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: a young player like the Rockets? You want to give

874
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: up a young player to take on somebody's salary, maybe

875
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: get another pick. That's what they're thinking. That's that's the mentality.

876
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: But I think those bottom feeders are are getting a

877
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 2: little close to being locked in the Hornets, Rockets, Spurs,

878
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: and Pistons to being really bad, and there's a bit

879
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 2: more separation happening from them. So it's gonna be tough

880
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 2: I think for the Raps to just say now you're

881
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: gonna suck. I mean they can be in the lottery.

882
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean they suck. Now, yeah, twenty pers, they're.

883
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Not that far. And you can definitely lean into the tank,

884
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,240
Speaker 1: into the suck by obviously trading some of these players.

885
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: But even after that, oh his, he's got a right calf.

886
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the next next step. That would

887
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 2: be the next one.

888
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Now the players don't want to do that, but obviously

889
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: franchises have done this time and time again, where guys

890
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: who could play are shut down to help lose games.

891
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: That would be the next step. But you're not, you're not.

892
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't think you're beating any of those four teams

893
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: to the bat like they're nine games up on the

894
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: Pistons and nine games up on the Hornets. It's the

895
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: Spurs are a little better, but anyway, they could be

896
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 2: in that five, six, seven, eight range. It just doesn't

897
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 2: feel like a messiah thing. But they're gonna make some deal,

898
00:42:59,040 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

899
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so you say og, you sort of went with

900
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: Gary Trent Junior Raptors. You believe doing something here as

901
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: we get closer to the deadline. I'm trying to find

902
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: it right now. Real GM had a very very funny

903
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: headline today. It was off of a Jake Fisher report,

904
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: who does great work obviously in rounding up sort of

905
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: trade rumors and stuff like that, but it's said on

906
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: real GM here today. This was the headline, Raptors tell

907
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: teams they'll do something at trade deadline. So the Raps

908
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: are doing something.

909
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: Lock it in.

910
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: It's the meme of the tall, lanky guy just poking

911
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: at something to do something. I guess the Raps are

912
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna be doing something. We'll find out what that means.

913
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: I too, had a funny uh real GM headline that

914
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: I saved Raptors would require multiple unprotected firsts to even

915
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: consider trading ogn Right, you gotta send them unprotected first

916
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 3: for them to even pick up the phone.

917
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, hi on them. We're playing hardball whatever it is. Okay,

918
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 1: let's hear with all of your answers. Here in the

919
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: stream team right now, when you fill in the blank,

00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: no dunk sinc. Next one. I know you guys have

922
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: done this before, but I thought you might want to

923
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: change your prediction because I think we did in the

924
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: preseason fill in the blank. Fill in the blank. Lebron

925
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: will pass Kareem's scoring record versus who and when? Really?

926
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Tk uron record that it's happening in MSG against the Knicks. Tough,

927
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: but are you changing it?

928
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Lebron's to average forty points per game and play

929
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 3: every single game to get to to do it against

930
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 3: the Knicks. Far fetched, but not impossible. If he everges

931
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 3: twenty eight points per game over his next few he

932
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: would break it against Okay, see just twenty six a

933
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 3: measly twenty six points per game. That's a half for

934
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 3: players these days. He would do it against Milwaukee, the

935
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 3: first team that the all time leading score in NBA

936
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 3: history played for back when he was Luel Sender eventually

937
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 3: became a Laker, just like Lebron. So mark me down

938
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 3: for the Milwaukee game.

939
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: Okay, that little too. It's at home, right.

940
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: There's two games home, Oka See and Milwaukee, and that

941
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 3: would be February ninth. So, like Tas has been saying,

942
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 3: right before All Star weekend.

943
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you're you're you're doubling down on before

944
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: All Star weekend. This will not happen after, Oh.

945
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: No, it can't. It's projected as a February seventh, that

946
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: okay see game. If he was to stay on pace here,

947
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 2: if he plays, if he plays the big part, then

948
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: the numbers will happen. There's no doubt. I'm gonna go

949
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: with February fifteenth, stay stubborn against the New Orleans Pelicans,

950
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: the day before everyone breaks for All Star weekend. Okay,

951
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: so that will be the talk of the town. It's

952
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 2: the twenty four hour news cycle. We all forget everything

953
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: that happens two days prior unless you screenshot your real

954
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: GM headlines.

955
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: But just what I do.

956
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, But otherwise, Yeah, there's not a big window there

957
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: for him to do it at home, which I think

958
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: would be important. There's okay see in Milwaukee. Then they

959
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: go on the road for a couple games and then

960
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: back for New Orleans prior so because there they got

961
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: a five game road trip, come home for okay, Ce

962
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: Milwaukee two games on the road, then that pel's one.

963
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 2: I'm circling that one just because he could be off

964
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: a couple of games.

965
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: It's it is Lebron.

966
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: He may may take home, that's the thing.

967
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: Do you think he is going to line it up

968
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: so that it happens at home? I think so, you know,

969
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: maybe not be I guess it's possible it doesn't happen

970
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: before the All Star breaks, social if he does miss time.

971
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: I think that was my part of my preseason prediction.

972
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: I said it will happen just after the All Star break,

973
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: but you think he would actually, you know, in a

974
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: calculated move. It feels very lebron like now that I

975
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: say it out loud, like I want to do it

976
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: this game more than on the road or in this arena.

977
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: So that's where I will focus all my attention on

978
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 1: making it happen.

979
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt this season, As Treas said,

980
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: it's all about passing Kareem, so why not take it

981
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: to another level Now, there's just not a lot of

982
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: games for him to do it at do it in

983
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: because the road. I guess he could do it on

984
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 2: the road. Yeah, it's possible. I'm making it seem like

985
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 2: it's impossible because I think he's just He's just Galaxy brain,

986
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 2: that's what.

987
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I don't think all right, So Trey is

988
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: saying that Milwaukee game, I'm now saying that that's a

989
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: TNT game as well. Yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess

990
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: the February ninth game, and uh is the February fifteenth

991
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: game against the Pelicans ESPN game possibly?

992
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: Ooh, I'm pretty sure that was ESPN game unless it

993
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 3: gets flexed.

994
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: You both are picking a nationally televised games. That's a

995
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: smart idea.

996
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: We're smart.

997
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear from everybody on that one. Is anybody

998
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: going after All Star break? That's what I want to know?

999
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: And final one here when it comes to fill in

1000
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: the blank, we're getting close now we h in fact,

1001
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: will we find out the starters? I said on the

1002
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: twenty first of February, So that is very very soon,

1003
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: like basically this weekend we find out the starters at

1004
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: least when it comes to the All Stars. But I

1005
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: want to know, Oh, who's gonna be the most glaring

1006
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: All Star snub? So fill in the blank? Who will

1007
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: it be? TK?

1008
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: I don't want to say it to you, skeets Hm,

1009
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:13,479
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be Daron Fox. Oh really, only

1010
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 3: because I feel like it's gonna be hard for Sacramento

1011
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: to get two All Stars, and it feels like the

1012
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 3: buzz is building for Demonte Sabonis to be the locked

1013
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 3: in Sacramento Kings All Star. You heard zachlo and Bill

1014
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: Simmons talking on their podcast recently that Sabonis might be

1015
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 3: the third starter from the front court in the Western Conference.

1016
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: And it's also a lot harder to make it as

1017
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 3: a guard in the Western Conference. Curry, doncic, Ja Morant,

1018
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 3: locked in, Shay Giljess, Alexander Lillard, who knows what's gonna

1019
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: happen with Devin Booker. But Fox is in that second

1020
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: tier of guards who might make it, and I feel

1021
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 3: like people are leaning more towards Sabonis right now. I

1022
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 3: do think Fox will get into the game, but I

1023
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 3: would not be surprised if on the first announcement of

1024
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: the rosters he's shut.

1025
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: There an initial snub, maybe an injury or replacement is

1026
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: a possibility. I could see it. Yeah, I mean you

1027
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: you laid out the case there. The bonus is like

1028
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: basically he's hovering around the MVP table like I think

1029
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: he may have taken a seat actually at that table,

1030
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: but you're going with somebody else or do you have

1031
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Fox says who will be the most glaring All Star snub?

1032
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: I'm going up a tiny level In terms of the guards.

1033
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: I think Devin Booker will be snubbed. He had an

1034
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: All NBA season before he was injured. The injuries because

1035
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 2: he's not going to be playing. When the assistant coaches

1036
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: are assigned the ballot from the head coaches, they pass

1037
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 2: it down. Oh yeah, we're in the coaches meeting. Yeah,

1038
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: you do it. Oh Devin Booker is still not playing.

1039
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 2: I think Lillard gets in over him. Lillard has snuck

1040
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 2: up now since he's come back with incredible numbers averaging

1041
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 2: twenty nine. So him as Trey went through the Curry, Dancics,

1042
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: Jaw SGA Forsome, that's a lock.

1043
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: I think Rocks get more love from the assistant coaches

1044
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 1: than Booker because of injury.

1045
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the guard the guard problem, it's it's

1046
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: a real problem. He goes the bonus and then you've

1047
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: got five guards. I just mentioned there with Lillard joining SGA, Curry,

1048
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: Doncchin jaw So it'll be tough for Fox, but even Booker,

1049
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: I think just he was leading a great team. They

1050
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: were great once upon a time, but then he went

1051
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: out and he could have he could have been an

1052
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: All NBA player. But the number of games is going

1053
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: to be real and plus at the time, I think

1054
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: when the ballots are signed off on he won't be playing.

1055
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: He's only played twenty nine games at this point.

1056
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: I was looking at the rosters from last year, counting

1057
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: them all up. There was twenty seven total All Stars

1058
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: last year because of injuries and replacements, and then I'm

1059
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 1: looking at like who made it last year and like

1060
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: their likelihood of making it this season. There's going to

1061
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: be like sixteen or seventeen guys and I don't even

1062
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: think it's a reach that are not gonna make it

1063
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: this year that were on that roster last year. That's

1064
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: a lot. That's sixty percent of these twenty seven All

1065
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: Stars are not going to be in there. And it's

1066
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: like it gets into like is Booker there? You know,

1067
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: is is like a Levine there? Probably not like deroze in.

1068
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: I think maybe gets in, Maybe doesn't. I think it

1069
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: could be. I hate to say it I'm terrified to

1070
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: Siakam's not gonna make the All Star team because of

1071
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: the Raptors crappy record, really, and there are so many,

1072
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, deserving players. There's a squeeze when you start

1073
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: really going through your Eastern Conference reserves after you like

1074
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: decide on Okay, Kyrie is a starter, Katie is a

1075
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: starter right now. Maybe he gets in as an injury

1076
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: replacement too, there's all they possibility. But it's like, this

1077
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: guy's twenty five, eight and six. I mean, he is awesome.

1078
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: He's like he's played at an all NBA level for

1079
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: a majority of the year, but their team stinks, and

1080
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: I just think, like, is a Randall going to get

1081
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: in over him?

1082
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 3: Is it? You know.

1083
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: Who, like a Jimmy Butler or a band's probably is

1084
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: going to get in over him. So I don't know,

1085
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: you start running out of spots in a hurry, especially

1086
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: when it comes just to the front court players. So

1087
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little terrified. People tried to walk it back

1088
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Don't worry, man, he's going to get in.

1089
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: Eric Karreem run the athletics. He's gonna get in. He's

1090
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna get okay.

1091
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1092
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a lock though. There's a lot

1093
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: of good players, So okay, I'll go with I don't

1094
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: know Jimmy Butler.

1095
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: Really yeah, I think Butler would make it ahead of

1096
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 3: Sakham for sure.

1097
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: Wow, hmmm, I see, I don't Well, then I don't think.

1098
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 2: Is making it.

1099
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: If you think that, I mean Jimmy Butler. I think

1100
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: Butler and Bam will make it. Butler's the guy that

1101
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 3: teams are worried about when you play the he do

1102
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 3: you think Randall makes it over Siakam? I think Randall

1103
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 3: would make it ahead of Sam. I'm not totally locked

1104
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 3: in on Randall making I think it could be bruntson

1105
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 3: instead of Randall. I don't think that team gets two

1106
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 3: All Stars, but I would have Randall ahead of Seakam

1107
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: as well. Mm again yeah, okay, well between Derosen and Yeah,

1108
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 3: that'll be one of the debates.

1109
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,760
Speaker 1: For sure, especially because of their the two teams records

1110
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping them by any means. Okay, most glaring

1111
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 1: All Star snub. Look into that crystal ball and tell

1112
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: us who is it going to be from either of

1113
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: the conferences. We're gonna take our final break when we

1114
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: come back, pick them results and tweet of the night.

1115
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby is on fire nine and two when it

1116
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: comes to our pickham games in the new calendar year,

1117
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: here nine and two. You had Philly last night, Tesla,

1118
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: and I had the Clippers. You don't want to be

1119
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: close to picking with me right now. I'm three and eight,

1120
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: you're five and six, So we're both under five one hundred.

1121
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: Tonight's game, there's a lot on where we're going.

1122
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 2: ESPN doubleheader starts it off. We got a nine game

1123
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 2: sked Atlanta at Dallas to kick it off on ESPN.

1124
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 2: Dallas fair by minus three and a half. So let's

1125
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: see what trade picked. He's got the MAVs to take

1126
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: care of business.

1127
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: See how invincible he is.

1128
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 2: Four got win by four or more. I like how

1129
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd is talking about the defense. He's getting into

1130
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,479
Speaker 2: the metrics. He's saying, we can't stop anybody essentially without

1131
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 2: Dory and Fenny Smith and Josh Green. And it's real.

1132
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 2: So that's why I think the Hawks can keep it close.

1133
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 2: The maths aren't gonna blow them moment, I don't think.

1134
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 2: But who knows what the SoC seam Nobody knows should

1135
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: be a good one, Luca first tray baby, join us

1136
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: on playback.

1137
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: This is game is in Dallas. Yeah, seven thirty Eastern?

1138
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: What time is it there? Five thirty, six thirty and

1139
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: only an hour behind. I always think they're two hours behind.

1140
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 2: Uh.

1141
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I only took Dallas because he took them. I

1142
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: actually purposely waited to see who Trey Kerby was gonna

1143
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: tell you, and I was like, I tell you, I'm

1144
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: backing this guy. Man, you gotta ride the hot hand.

1145
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, come at me, all right. You don't want to

1146
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 2: finish last, so you gotta pick you gotta pick up,

1147
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: so I just don't.

1148
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: You don't want to see a crap record three and eight.

1149
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta dig out a little bit, try

1150
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: and get it closer to five hundred. All right, Good

1151
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: luck to everybody. Mavericks got to win by four or

1152
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: more at home, and we'll be on playback checking out

1153
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: that game at least for a little bit. As long

1154
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: as it's entertaining. I'm sure we'll, uh we'll start with

1155
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: it and stick with it and end with it. If

1156
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: it's close. I hope it's on a blowout. Okay, let's

1157
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: get to tweeted the.

1158
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 2: Night tweet out the night.

1159
00:54:59,080 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

1160
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 5: Tweet of the Night comes to us from Dragonfly Jones,

1161
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 5: and it is in reference to a very popular clip

1162
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 5: that made its way to the internet yesterday, a couple

1163
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 5: of third graders, Casein and Zion, celebrating their every single.

1164
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 3: Play out there. Dragonfly Jones tweets, I don't like the

1165
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 3: way this clip made me feel. A third grader hitting

1166
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: another third grader with the too small got some real

1167
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 3: Republican opinions formulating in my head, crying, you got every

1168
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: single celebration from these kids. I mean, honestly, third graders

1169
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 3: hitting high school three pointers on I would be fine

1170
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 3: with my kids celebrating that, but uh, that's a big dude.

1171
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 3: And it's pretty funny to see a third grader tell

1172
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 3: another third grader they're too small.

1173
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, in his case, he's not wrong. It's a

1174
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: big kid.

1175
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: That kid's a baller.

1176
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Third it was a third graders.

1177
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 3: He was scoring in the post. They were hitting pull

1178
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 3: up threes, they were flexing, they were doing like multiple

1179
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 3: three point celebrations on the same play, like three to

1180
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 3: the head followed by an arrow, followed by slapping yourself

1181
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,720
Speaker 3: on the leg if you got it, flaunted.

1182
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: I guess, so is this kid?

1183
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 2: Is this team running the state at the third grade

1184
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: level or what it looks like. It looks like they've

1185
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 2: got a lot of w's under their belt. I don't

1186
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: know what kind of circuit, what kind of tourneys they're

1187
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: playing in, but I think they're undefeated.

1188
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: You think so?

1189
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they look like it. They play like walk

1190
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: the walk, and they've got an inside outside game. That

1191
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 2: kid's stroking the threes that other kid cannot. No one

1192
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 2: can rebound around that big kid.

1193
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: So the the third greatest. What does that mean? They're

1194
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: nine years old?

1195
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably. I guess that's like a ten in

1196
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: under league.

1197
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: Probably. It's weird to be putting up video clips of

1198
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: nine year old kids playing basketball on the internet, but

1199
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: that's the world we live in right now. I find

1200
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 1: that part strange. And there's a lot of discourse about

1201
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: this clip. Yes, sure, yes there is. Uh, what do

1202
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: you feel about? Like you're fine with it? You know,

1203
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: the kids having fun, they're obviously having a blast. Can

1204
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: you cross a line when it comes to all of

1205
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: the taunting and stuff like that?

1206
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 2: There's a line? Yeah, I don't think it was crossed here.

1207
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean the.

1208
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 2: The Hey, you're too small. Yeah, you know that. The

1209
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 2: other team knows. You don't have to do that every time.

1210
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 2: You know, no girl spurt yet, as long as it's

1211
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: in good fun and the other kids aren't bothered by it,

1212
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's kind of hard to tell with

1213
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: these these edited clips, these curated clips.

1214
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was a little strange. The one kid

1215
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: in the back trying to tell the other kid, Hey,

1216
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: you gotta be flexing. You should be flexing, man, flex away.

1217
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: That's what it looked like he was saying. It's like,

1218
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: you scored, but you forgot the taunt do anything. It

1219
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: almost doesn't count at this That all right? And what

1220
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 1: you obviously have, you know, young girls getting into the

1221
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: game and stuff like that. Is this happening? Have you

1222
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: seen this happen in any of your league?

1223
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't seen a single celebration like this,

1224
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: except for everybody on both teams celebrates anytime of basket

1225
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 3: is made. Yeah, just like we did it.

1226
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, as you should.

1227
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

1228
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that.

1229
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 3: But man, these kids better make it to the NBA.

1230
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to remember these names because right now, if

1231
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 3: you make a trade for the Lakers, you have a

1232
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 3: chance to draft one of those two children with the

1233
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 3: twenty twenty nine pick. Basically, that's how far away those

1234
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 3: picks are now.

1235
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't help but think of that tiny kid who

1236
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 2: guarded Zion Williamson, who was like, I couldn't help but

1237
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: think of the little kid here who's doing the flexing.

1238
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 2: He could have a future as guarding a monstrous player.

1239
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 2: Sure that goes to the NBA potentially, so he could

1240
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 2: reenact that. Those two, those two could reenact the Zion

1241
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 2: little kid.

1242
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: Oh, once they're in the NBA, you think, well, no,

1243
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: they could do it.

1244
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: Now, I think even though they're on the same team,

1245
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 2: just switch your jersey. They could pull it off. Because

1246
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 2: one kid is way smaller than the other kid, because

1247
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 2: he's too big for this leak. I don't know, he

1248
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: might be playing himself into the twelve nunder leak right there.

1249
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: It is the tweet of the night. Let's hear your

1250
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: thoughts on that clip that definitely went viral yesterday and

1251
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: a very funny tweet there from Dragonfly Jones, who I

1252
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,919
Speaker 1: don't know, he's racked up like four tweeted the nights.

1253
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: I feel like at this tweet, is it in the

Speaker 1: top of the leaderboard when it comes to the best tweets,
