1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: What are you watching? Watching the twenty sixteen finals?

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: This is the greatest basketball series of all time? Hang on,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: hang on?

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 3: Is that Lebron?

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: This is when he came back from down three to one. Yeah,

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: that's the most overrated final series of all time. How

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: that was the seventy three and nine Warriors? Has Lebron

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: played against twitch streamers and podcasters? What are you talking about?

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: There were seventy three and nine. Who was guarding Lebron?

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Draymond Green? And what does Draymond Green have a podcast?

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: But that's all I need to hear.

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: We're done with the twenty tens.

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: The twenty ten's had Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Lebron, Kevin Durant,

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: Steph Curry. Yeah, all those bums are trash and would

16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: not amount to anything in today's NBA. What do you

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: mean they wouldn't do anything in today's NBA? They dominated.

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: It's easy to dominate when you're playing against uber drivers

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: in door dash employees, man thordash Seth Curry revolutionized the game.

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Show me a clip of him playing good defense.

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: He didn't need to He could.

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Just let Draymond Green guard another guy a podcaster. As

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, don't even get me started on

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: the Bubble Championship.

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,080

Speaker 1: weekend winners and losers. Let's start with the winners. Tray,

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I want to start with you. I think you've got

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a pretty obvious one, because what a game we had

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: on Sunday.

45
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: There easy winner of the weekend had to hop in

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: the dock as soon as it happened to claim Kyrie

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: Irving with one of the best game winners you'll ever

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: see in your life. The lucky lefty on Saint Patrick's day,

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: too Nice, catches on the right wing a couple of

50
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: dribbles into the lane. The twenty point one footer with

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: the left hand almost swishes it over a tall defender

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: in Nicolai Yogics, who took away his step back. Kyrie

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: said he saw you had the left hand, why not

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: just go with it?

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

56
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: Afterward he said, yeah, I practice that, I believe it. Yeah,

57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: it looked too smooth, yep, and too easy. He was

58
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: talking about how he goes back and watches YouTube to

59
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: study other people's moves.

60
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Whose move is this?

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: I know he was doing this. I mean Kobe Bryant

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: has probably made some lefty hook shop floaters in his career,

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: but never a game winner. Never at the buzzer, Skeets.

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: I know you don't like it when players stare at

65
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: their left hand, especially guards, but even you gotta admit

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: here in this one.

67
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't like it. When they do a layup with

68
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: their left hand, their professional basketball players. You don't need

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: to look at your left hand like that was impressive.

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: If I can do it, it's not that impressive. But

71
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: this absolutely try. I had no issue with the celebration

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: where you gotta look at his south pad there and go,

73
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: I did that with my left from twenty feet over.

74
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: You'll catch. Yeah, no issue with that. One incredible game

75
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: come back from the Nuggets. Some huge shots and a

76
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: missed shot there from Jamal Murray to set up this

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: from Kyrie that You're right, It sounds sort of crazy,

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: but that's gonna be one of the greatest game winners

79
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you're ever going to see. Just the shot difficulty test.

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, proves a lot of people right when they say

81
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 5: I think he's the most skilled player to ever play

82
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 5: the game.

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant known for saying that.

84
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: Kyrie is the most skilled player to ever play the

85
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 5: game because his hands are so damn good. That wasn't

86
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: it short hook? That was a very long hook, slash, floater,

87
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it. That was the perfect

88
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: look at I'm glad he stared at it. I'm so

89
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: glad he stared at it.

90
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: I was. I was waiting for him.

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: Come on, man, you gotta look at that thing, because

92
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: there aren't too many things. You know, the shack he

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: always used to do that, look at his left hand.

94
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 5: But that was worthy of a long stare. That was

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: a magician. I mean, that was really cool stuff.

96
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe you said it happened on Saint Patrick's Day,

97
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: a year to the day where Maxi Kliba hit a

98
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: game winning three on March seventeenth. You're prior against the

99
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Lakers where Kyrie got like triple teamed in that one.

100
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: If you remember where they threw a bunch of guys

101
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: on anybody but Kyrie a year ago. So Kleiba hit

102
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: the three, and then a year prior to that. They

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: didn't play on the seventeenth, but they played on the sixteenth.

104
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: Dinwitty had a game winner at the buzzer against the Nets.

105
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: What is it with the luck of the Irish here?

106
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: Really?

107
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: For the Dallas Mavericks, I guess they have a little

108
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: green in their jerseys. But Kyrie IV, Yeah, that's right,

109
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: what a shot. And you know, huge win for Dallas too.

110
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: When you're looking at the Western Conference standings, obviously, you

111
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: know a big loss. On the other side, not as big,

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: I guess with the Nuggets where they are, but still huge,

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: huge win. I guess for Dallas. All these matter here

114
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: with a month to go in terms of where you're

115
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: gonna be seated.

116
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 5: They've gotten their a good run back because it was

117
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 5: great for a while and they went terrible for a while.

118
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 5: But they are kind of back and Kyrie obviously does this.

119
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: Yet on the day of other ones, I was I

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 5: was looking on Twitter. I was looking to see when

121
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: did we make fun of somebody who looked at their

122
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: left hand that shouldn't have. Somewhere on Twitter, I can

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: find this thing.

124
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: It was Seth Curry.

125
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: Remember we called him worst of the Week one one

126
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: day years ago because he made a layup with his

127
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 5: left hand and ran back the floor looking he can

128
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: do it.

129
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: Obviously, they all can.

130
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: They all can. I'm sorry, I mean at least nine

131
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: of these NBA guards, especial guards especially, Yes, sometimes you

132
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: can look at your left well.

133
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 5: It was cool when I was on Twitter and I

134
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: was looking through all the angles. Was the angle of

135
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving's face from behind the backboard with him looking

136
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: at the clock as he took those couple dribbles, he's

137
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: looking up at the clock, getting his feet right that

138
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: he already knows how to do that any time he

139
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 5: wants to. And then the ability to look at the

140
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 5: clock at how much time he has to hit a

141
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 5: lefty friggin' hook.

142
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: Any other from the MAVs win here and Kyrie Shutt.

143
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: I don't think the Nuggets should have lost that game.

144
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they were down big going into crunch time,

145
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: but that's how they do it. They hit the gas

146
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: get back into it. Jamal Murray hit a shot to

147
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: put him up three with twenty twenty seven seconds left,

148
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: and then the MAVs got it back like instantly, right

149
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: on the inbounds, Luca comes up to the top of

150
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: the key hits a three to tie the game up

151
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: with twenty four point two seconds left, and then Jamal

152
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: Murray just went too early. Yeah, he didn't need to

153
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: shoot it with six seconds remaining or whatever it was.

154
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: The MAVs got the rebound with about three seconds quick

155
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: time out by Jason Kidd, which advanced the ball because

156
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: I don't think Tim Hardaway Junior was probably getting a

157
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: good look rebounding it at the free throw, but he

158
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: was ready to go We saw two buzzer beaters yesterday.

159
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: Both times the offense the team that ended up losing,

160
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: just shot the ball way too early. When you have

161
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: the ball and the clock is running down, take the

162
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: shot as the time is going down. Yeah, as time expires,

163
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: cuz then you're going into overtime.

164
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: Yep, it's a good point. I think credit to the

165
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: MAVs bigs for the job they did on Jokic as well.

166
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean slowed him to a sixteen, eleven and seven game.

167
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: He only shot six to sixteen. I thought they were

168
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: very physical with them. You know, we're talking Gafford and

169
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Lively and every big they could chuck at him did

170
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: a good job on him. Kich was a little out

171
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: of sorts there on Sunday, but that was a big

172
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: reason why the MAVs also got the vigory. But what

173
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: a shot.

174
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just I saw talking about it in

175
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: other broadcasts later on that night.

176
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got four and a half out of five

177
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: on the Hoary scale on NBA dot Com. I think

178
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: it was docked point five just because it wasn't in

179
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That was the only reason that I could

180
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: come up with why it wasn't a perfect five for

181
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: five on the Hory scale.

182
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: To come up with the reason, they didn't say, well,

183
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: I know.

184
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: I did a little bit.

185
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: I would imagine it was amazing.

186
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't really spell it out, but that's why

187
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: it's the stakes. I guess of the game. Yeah, you know,

188
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: imagine that happens in a playoff game. Then yeah, that's

189
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: fine for five, but still awesome shot. Let's keep it going.

190
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: I would like to give an NBA Weekend winner to

191
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: other short Kings. Kyrie small guy really in the league,

192
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: and a couple other guys had some big weekends small

193
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: short Kings Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Thomas. Okay Brunson, he

194
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: scored a game high forty two points seventeen to twenty

195
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: eight shooting from the field in the nixt ninety eight

196
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: ninety one win over the Kings on Saturday. He became

197
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: just a fourth different player first guard in franchise history

198
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: to record consecutive forty point games. So, Jalen Brunson, joining

199
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Bernard King, Patrick Ewing, and Carmelo Anthony like those are

200
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: basically like three of the greatest knicks of all time.

201
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, on the top of a lot of people's lists.

202
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: I know there's some other ones Clyde and all that,

203
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: but now Jalen Brunson there going back to back forty

204
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: they needed all of them too, and really and sort

205
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: of both the games, but especially this one. Davion Mitchell,

206
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Kean Ellis, they're just getting cooked. Those guys are good,

207
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: they're known as decent dogs. So defensively he was embarrassing them.

208
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: I thought spin cycle bumping off track and he had

209
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: the three ball going in that Saturday night game. And

210
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, their defense did their part. Two Hartenstein awesome

211
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: heart og. They kept the Kings to ninety one points.

212
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: This is a high scoring team here in Sacramento. So

213
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: great job from the defense. And then Brunson just is

214
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: enough right now to carry him to these victory because

215
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: he's he is just he's on. He looks unstoppable right now.

216
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: He just go. He'll go wherever he wants. It's like

217
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: it's not an issue. His feet work are incredible. Good

218
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: game from him. Any thoughts on brunts in here.

219
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: The guy's freaking phenomenal.

220
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: When they signed him, he had one forty point game

221
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 5: on his resume and that was a playoff game. You know,

222
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 5: he now has seven this season with the New York Knicks.

223
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 5: That's remarkable to sign him to a contract that said

224
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: some people said, come on, that's too much, that's too much.

225
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 5: And he was doing that in the playoffs when Luca

226
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: was out. He had that forty point game, a thirty

227
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 5: point game, and the Nick said, all right, let's go.

228
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: And it's been yeah, ten years basically since they had

229
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 5: a guy who had back to back forty point games

230
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 5: in Carmelo Anthony. You know, you gotta get some Willis

231
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: Reid love some some of those guys, lots of love

232
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 5: when you talk about the best New York Knicks, because

233
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 5: Mellow he's there.

234
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: But he was ever one of the best Knicks ever,

235
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: especially when we're talking scoring the basket as a nick.

236
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: Yes, scoring, scoring for sure and one of the most

237
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: important things.

238
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: Scoring. Yeah, yes, yeah. He won one playoff series.

239
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 5: I will see what Jalen Brunson does anyway one.

240
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 4: You're right, yeah, we'll see.

241
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: But that was a cool ending when he hit that

242
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: last shot with Kean Ellis was on him. Who who

243
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 5: was looking all around for a pick? He was looking

244
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 5: for who's gonna pick me, Who's gonna pick me?

245
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: Who?

246
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: So Jalen Brunston just waved and was totally lying. He said,

247
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: come on over, and Alice looked around his shoulder and

248
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: then Jalen Brunson just went boo, gotcha and you can

249
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 5: see kean El's This was another thing on Twitter.

250
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 4: This is what twitter is good for. I guess Kean

251
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: ellis turned around. Oh you can see his face just

252
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: like what am I doing? So that was cool, cool game.

253
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: He is built to play in the era where they're

254
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: not calling files, yeah, because he plays like that anyways,

255
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: Like he was getting extra free throws in the first

256
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: half of the season, but he's used to playing through

257
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: contact because it's slow it down. Bump bump, bump, bump, bump,

258
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: step away and I'm hitting an eighteen footer. He does

259
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: it all the time, so now that he doesn't get

260
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: foul calls, it doesn't matter. He only took four free

261
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: throws and still scored forty two points. That was pretty impressive.

262
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 3: And like you mentioned, the Knicks defense, they've turned it

263
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: on the best defense in the league since the All

264
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: Star break, and that's with only having og back for

265
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 3: a handful of games here. They will get Randall back

266
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: at some point allegedly. I know he's out there playing tennis,

267
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: but he will be helpful whenever he comes back. The Knicks, though,

268
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: they're kind of built for the playoffs, so they might

269
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: get a two series wins depending on how things shake out.

270
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: Then he s a Thomas just to show him some love.

271
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: According to Shams, the eleven year VET, he's planning to

272
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: sign a ten day contract with the Phoenix Suns. So

273
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, he had been playing in the g League

274
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: with the Salt Lake City Stars, which is the GE

275
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: League affiliate of the Utah Jazz. He joined them earlier

276
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: this month. In four games, he averaged thirty two and

277
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: a half points per game, couldn't miss a three, five assists,

278
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: three boards, over a steal. So he now gets an

279
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to join a roster here. I don't know how

280
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: much he's really going to play. It's not like Phoenix

281
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: really needs offense. They need a defense. But good for him.

282
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, this two time All Star he had talked

283
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: a lot about like he could have gone, you know

284
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: over he really wanted to get back to the NBA.

285
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: That's the plan. That was always the plan. I guess

286
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: Danny Ainge sort of made this happen where he got

287
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: him onto the G League team there again, the Utah affiliate.

288
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: And now he's going to sign a in theory signed

289
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: a ten day here with the with the Suns, a

290
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: true short king had under six league. You know what's

291
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: Brunson list of that? He's six too. He's probably not

292
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: that though, he's probably he's probably honestly six six to one.

293
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: So he's short enough in the NBA to lump under

294
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: shark kings. All right, let's go to you task food,

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: yeah for a weekend winner.

296
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: The New Orleans Pelicans, because we are going to see

297
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: Zion Williamson in his first playoffs ever very soon.

298
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: Let's go, let's get it started.

299
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 5: I remember last week I was saying, you know what,

300
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: this New Orleans Pelicans team could snatch that four seed

301
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 5: from the Los Angeles Clippers. They are looking good. We

302
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: might see Zion running out on his home floor of

303
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 5: the first two games of a playoff series.

304
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 4: They got the tiebreaker.

305
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: Against the Clippers if they beat them and all that,

306
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 5: and then they laid a huge dud to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

307
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: But you know what they made up for.

308
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: They made up for it this weekend because Friday against

309
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: the Clippers, Zion was incredible, and primarily the defensive end,

310
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: which you don't really see from Zion a lot. He

311
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: was going and guarding Kawhi Leonard and he shut him

312
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 5: down a few minutes left in the fourth quarter, forcing

313
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 5: a miss from Kuhi. That was pretty cool to watch.

314
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 5: Quiet a twenty three. Of course, he can get twenty three,

315
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: no problem, but it was a little bit quiet because

316
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 5: Zion was good. You have three steals in this game

317
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: and third quarter, just to add on to that defensive end.

318
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: You don't see a play like you saw from Herb Jones,

319
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 5: which was Paul George getting the ball to three point line.

320
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 5: Herb Jones in his own paint sprints out, blocks that

321
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: shot and gets that ball and dunks it on the

322
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 5: other end. That's pretty fricking cool to see. We've had

323
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: a lot of good shots Carlos A. Karaz who want

324
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 5: to talk tennis now, But that was a very cool

325
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: play as Zion with three and a half seconds left

326
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: in the third quarter where he got the ball in

327
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: the back court and he literally went through four clippers

328
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: to get to the rim. It was so cool how

329
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 5: fast he was three and a half seconds going through

330
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: four players. It kind of looked like a football player

331
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: running the forty and going through every single potential defender.

332
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: He had thirty four points and seven rebounds against the Clippers.

333
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 5: But I just want to talk about the end of

334
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: this game because it was interesting because Zion took over

335
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 5: at the point guard spot. They said, CJ McConn not

336
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: having a great night. Sit for the last few minutes.

337
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: They went Zion three wings and Larry Nance at center.

338
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: So Zion, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingerman and Trey Murphy at

339
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 5: the wings with Larry Nance. That lineup doesn't play that

340
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: often never. Basically only five minutes this season to the

341
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 5: last three and a half minutes, they said, zioner with

342
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: win guard, dude, let's do it. These are the possessions.

343
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: At the end, they got a Nance layup, Trey Murphy

344
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 5: did miss a three, then another Nance layup, then Zion

345
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 5: went to the free throw line, hit a free throw,

346
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 5: then a Zion layup, and they took care of the

347
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: Clippers three and one against the Clippers this season, it

348
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: is a potential playoff preview.

349
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: It looks like.

350
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Four or five. It looking like this, whether the Pelicans

351
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: will be the home team, whether the Clippers will hold

352
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: on to it. I have a theory that whoever's the

353
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: five seed in that matchup is going to actually win

354
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: the series good. I don't know if you want home

355
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: court advantage.

356
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: Kylou loves road court advantage.

357
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: I think it's true in this weird matchup. I feel

358
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: like between the Clips and Pelicans, whoever's the five seed

359
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: is going to steal one of those ones, maybe the

360
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: first game or one of the first two on the road.

361
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, not that they're going to be playing

362
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: to fall into fifth, but it'd be a fun matchup.

363
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: I think this got these two teams.

364
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they match up really well because who is

365
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 5: gonna stop Zion on the Clippers team that's you know,

366
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: a tad small obviously, you know, Kawhi I can try,

367
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 5: Paul George can try, but they are a little bit small. Anyways,

368
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 5: they match up pretty freaking well against that team, and

369
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 5: they are a great road team. They're one of the

370
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: best road teams in the Western Conference surprisingly at twenty

371
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 5: one and thirteen.

372
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 4: Fifth Yeah stretch yeah, yeah.

373
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if they they if they will catch

374
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 5: the Clippers when it comes down to it, but they

375
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 5: do have the tiebreaker if they do so Yeah, maybe

376
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,239
Speaker 5: they just want to lose that tiebreakers. Throw the tiebreaker

377
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 5: called the office. Maybe call the front office, the league office,

378
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 5: I should say, and say, can we just do away

379
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: with the tiebreakers?

380
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: I don't know.

381
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: TVD Saturday versus Point Portland doesn't really matter as much.

382
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 5: They beat Portland. Sion Williamson best flex in this in

383
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: this NBA, I think literally flex.

384
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: I actually flexed. Actually, sometimes they just like put their

385
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: arms up in flex position without going full muscles. Yeah,

386
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 3: Zion went full muscle. Yes, that was nice.

387
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: It was nice.

388
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 5: I don't even know if he's flexing, to be honest,

389
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: he's just like really muscular, biggest buys in the game.

390
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 5: Call him at a bounce back game against his old

391
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 5: team A thirty spot. Will Gillery on the Athletic has

392
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: a nice breakdown on this team and how they are

393
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 5: flowing flowing really well. And Zion is the main reason

394
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 5: for me.

395
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: A couple things with Zion. He's I guess, six games

396
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: away from beating his most games played in a season.

397
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: He's at fifty six right now. Sixty one is the

398
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: most he's ever played in the season. So he should

399
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: have clips that. You keep blowing my mind when you say, well,

400
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Zion Williamson in a playoff series we

401
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: have we haven't seen it, so that's fun. And then yeah,

402
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean Trey Murphy obviously a huge thread out there

403
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: to shoot the ball, like this guy takes a three

404
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: so much, but he hits it at a high percentage.

405
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: And then that Herb Jones defensive play man. That was.

406
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: That was a fun lineup with points Zion and then

407
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: all that length and Larry as the center there. But that,

408
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't see a you don't see in

409
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: today's NBA that play all that often to block the

410
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: three at the top and then go the other way,

411
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: like collect it all in one motion and score on

412
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: the other end. Fun team. I don't this will be

413
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: a fascinating like are you going Clippers? Are you going Pelicans?

414
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Like I feel like this will be a real You're

415
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of people taking one. A lot

416
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: of people think it will be split. It feels like

417
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: with the way they're playing both these squads right now.

418
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: I don't know who on the Clippers could possibly guard

419
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: Zion because he looked unstoppable. It was one of the

420
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: games where he just takes a left handed layup every

421
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: time down to the court. I think he took twenty

422
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: one shots the furthest was from seven feet away, and

423
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: he made so many of them because when it was

424
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: the center, they would be in drop coverage and you're dead.

425
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: You're instantly dead right then, because he just rumbles to

426
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: the hoop and shoots it over the top of Zubats

427
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: or Tye or whoever it may be. PJ. Tucker like

428
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: did a decent enough job of staying in front of him,

429
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: but not quite quick enough to hang with Zion. So

430
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: it's gonna have to be like Kawhi. Is that gonna work?

431
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. Zion's got a lot of strength on Kawai.

432
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: Kuai obviously got quick feet, long arms, quick hands. Yeah,

433
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: but that will wear him down because Qua's been having

434
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: some big first quarters and then really tailing off afterwards.

435
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: The other thing that depresses me the Pelicans are quite

436
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: clearly playing for each other right now.

437
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: CJ.

438
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: McCollum. He's their highest paid player, I assume right sitting

439
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: on the bench for this, and the team looks like

440
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: they're clicking. Like Larry Nance Junior got two baskets under

441
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 3: the hoop and they were off of like three driving

442
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 3: kicks before he finally catches the ball and dunks it.

443
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: They got a steal with the minute left against the

444
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: Clippers where Ingram deflects the ball, Larry Nance Junior and

445
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: Herb get on the floor. It ends up being a

446
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: runout for Zion. They get a free throw on it.

447
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: They're just locked in with each other right now. They

448
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of playoff experience, obviously none with Zion,

449
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: but we've seen them in postseasons where they're a tough

450
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: out at the very least. So if they're able to

451
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: get Zion healthy to the playoffs, he's playing the best

452
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: he ever has right now on both ends of the ball.

453
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: So I can't wait to see if the Pelicans can

454
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: actually do something.

455
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the playoffs, and yeah, just that man in the playoffs.

456
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 5: It is odd to think when he was drafted it

457
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: was five years ago, but because of injuries, he wasn't

458
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: able to join the Pelicans for that decent series against

459
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 5: the Phoenix Suns where they took him to six for

460
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: that run. But they are absolutely playing for each other,

461
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: as you said, Trey, because Zion at the point guard spot.

462
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: I remember five years ago when they were drafted. We

463
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 5: thought Sion's planed center. Zion could play center. The dude

464
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 5: is playing point guard and they'd say, CJ, you have

465
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 5: to take a seat. Here Willie Green is telling his

466
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 5: highest paid player, you gotta sit down. Zion comes in

467
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: and it was a close score at the end win

468
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 5: Zion was able to take that point guard spot and

469
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: he just executed every single possession. So Zion the point

470
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 5: guard is really really interesting. He's obviously extremely capable of

471
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 5: doing that.

472
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: So very fun.

473
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: Okay, Pelicans get a winner of the weekend. Let's do

474
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: another round. Tray back to you here.

475
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors get a winner of the weekend. I

476
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: think most importantly they got Steph Curry back after he'd

477
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: missed three games with a sprained ankle, and I would

478
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: say he generally looked like Steph Curry only three for ten.

479
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: I bet it'll come around. But he went scoreless in

480
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: the first quarter, finished with thirty one points five assists,

481
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: and he must have had like eighteen secondary assists. I

482
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: think in the second half when the Lakers were trying

483
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: to get the ball out of his hands and he

484
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: would just get it to Draymond and Draymond would play

485
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: four on three find Cominga or Wiggins for a lob. Also,

486
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 3: Steph had a great defensive play this game. Just ripped

487
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: Lebron at half court with like a minute and a

488
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: half left, and that was basically the game. But I

489
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: thought the Warriors looked like the Warriors once again, knowing

490
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: they had Steph back and using his shooting and the

491
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: gravity he creates just to create advantages, which is why

492
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: Draymond I thought, had such a good game. Curry was

493
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: his usual self scoring on like continued cuts where you're like, oh,

494
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: we covered him, there's no way he's open, and then

495
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: suddenly Draymond dins him up for an easy layup under

496
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: the hoop. Cominga was hitting jumpers in this game. Lebron

497
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: had forty turned it on in the fourth quarter, but

498
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: I was like, this is like a quiet forty almost

499
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: for Lebron. This was a fun game to watch. It

500
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: ended up going the Warriors way. They're now in ninth

501
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: in the Western Cut Conference, which is big time because

502
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: it definitely feels like we're getting Warriors Lakers somewhere in

503
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: California for the nine to ten game. You would rather

504
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: have it at home than on the road. So this

505
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: was a win for the Warriors because they got staff back,

506
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: they won the game, and everything was all good except

507
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: for the clock.

508
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, fun game to watch until the

509
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: final two minutes, which took twenty minutes, and the damn

510
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: day Bra that was insane. With all of the reviews

511
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: and the shot clock malfunctions, it took twenty minutes of

512
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: real time for the final basically two minutes of the game.

513
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: We had this one on at a party and it

514
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: was into the game for the most part, keeping an

515
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: eye on it. And then when that happened, I mean

516
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: people were getting up and leaving. No one cared after

517
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: it lost all momentum in an otherwise entertaining game and

518
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: a big win. You're right, the Warriors now jumping the

519
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Lakers in a nine to ten matchup hypothetically.

520
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, the video reviews were tough.

521
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 5: As Mike Breen said on the broadcast, he'd never seen

522
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: anything like this since he started calling games, which was strange.

523
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: And Afflick was like slump over in his court side seat,

524
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: like going, oh my god, man, I gotta get out

525
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: of here, man, and.

526
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: Some dunkin Lebron went Danny Glover mode. I'm too old.

527
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: For that shit. It is like we're laughing about it.

528
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: Crazy.

529
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: Fortunately doesn't happen all that often, like when you pair

530
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: all the reviews and then the shot clock malfunctions, Like,

531
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: but man, does it kill a flow of a game,

532
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: especially like you know, even the reviews and then they're

533
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: taking away points from prior plays with Lebron and all that.

534
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: It's like, why, It's like we're actually hurting the product

535
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: by trying to get it too perfect, if that makes sense,

536
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Like trying to get everything absolutely right is actually sort

537
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: of hurting sometimes these games.

538
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 3: But I agree that too many reviews. But this one

539
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: was like shot clock problems. Well, you tried inbounding the

540
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: ball like four times, like nope, still not working, still

541
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: not working. Then they had to count it down. Just

542
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: put like eighty shot clocks back there so we never

543
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: have to see that again. Hmmm.

544
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: They should have backup shot clock. I mean they do

545
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: have backup shot clocks.

546
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they have backups for the backups. Yeah, there's

547
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: no reason not to. There's enough space. There was a

548
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: win in the bottle.

549
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: This was a wiring issue or something like that. I

550
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, but the Warriors upgrade your cables let's

551
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: go back to you tasks. Who else do you have

552
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: as winner?

553
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: Bobby Porters the Milwaukee Bucks because he called for the

554
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 5: basketball like every basketball player has called for it at

555
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 5: some point of their career, and then he hit shots

556
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: when he got it after calling for it, and we

557
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 5: got it on tape here.

558
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 4: Let's hear it. Not every basketball player has tried that

559
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 4: at a point. Maybe not.

560
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 5: It's high pitch. I don't know what that is. You

561
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 5: know your your bird calls? Was that like a duck tray?

562
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. W Yeah, that sounded like a warbler

563
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: of some sort to me. Yeah.

564
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 5: I don't know if you really warble when you call

565
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 5: for a ball, but we've all done it, right, some

566
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: sort of yeah yeah, like over here, give me the

567
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 5: freaking ball, yeah kind of thing.

568
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm making a sound to let you know I'm over

569
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: here and I am open.

570
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. And you don't really hear it too often in

571
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: NBA games.

572
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: We don't like that.

573
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 5: No sound up there because segment, and he was hitting

574
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: shots as soon as he caught that fire, didn't you

575
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 5: have twenty five at the half? Twenty five in the

576
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: first half of this game? Bobby More most points in

577
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 5: the first half off the bench for a player this season,

578
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 5: and he finished with thirty one. It was, you know,

579
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 5: the Bobby story, very good story. The Bucks also a

580
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 5: good story, and no Johannison this game, and they were

581
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: able to just keep hitting shots. This was I mean,

582
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 5: it was a little legs ion playing with three wings,

583
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard playing with just shooters who just were ready

584
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 5: to shoot. They hit eighteen threes in the first half,

585
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 5: tied for the most threes and a half in NBA history.

586
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 5: Eighteen threes and a half is the most. They slowed

587
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 5: down a little bit so they didn't come to the

588
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 5: most threes in a game.

589
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: At the end of it.

590
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 5: But it was cool for the Bucks because Chris Middleton

591
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: was also back, missed sixteen straight games, and he looked

592
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 5: like Chris Middleton who helped win the championship.

593
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: Hit twenty two points.

594
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: So that's nice that they have the depth that they

595
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 5: were able to just keep Chris Middleton injured air quotes

596
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 5: injured as long as he possibly needed to, and he's

597
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: come back and they scored one hundred and forty for

598
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 5: the game against the Phoenix Suns. That's a lot of

599
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 5: freaking points a nine game, and uh they've started to

600
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: grab that two seed from the Cleveland Cavs. It's it's

601
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 5: really like they've they've gripped it. They've grabbed it, and

602
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 5: they're they're kind of like a meh road team, so

603
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 5: they're they're pretty average for being a second seed on

604
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 5: the road, so they need it. And if you know,

605
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 5: who knows, who knows wins that wins two series to

606
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 5: get to the Boston Seles. But it feels like the

607
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 5: Bostons will be in that conference final against somebody.

608
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 4: He could be the Bucks, could be the Nicks.

609
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: Who knows there's a good win without Jannis. Bobby portis

610
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: huge reason why all these guys hitting threes, massive reason

611
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: why I think they have a really good record. When

612
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: Giannis doesn't play and Dame is their main I want

613
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: to say they're maybe undefeated, might be four and zero

614
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: in those situations, but when it's flipped and there's no

615
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: Dame and it's just be honest, the record's not as great.

616
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: You have to probably look into that, into the teams

617
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: they were playing and maybe situations and back to back

618
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: and all that to really figure it out if it

619
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: means anything. But you know, Dame was their leader and

620
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: he was just, yeah, kicking it out to all these

621
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: guys who could miss the first half. It was wild.

622
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: They has Sons hung around, but to give up one

623
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: forty to a yannisless team. I know we'll get to

624
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: losers of the weekend. Sons could be one of them.

625
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: They're in the mix at least because that was turnstile

626
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: defense or just not getting out to shooters at all.

627
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: Thoughts on the game.

628
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 3: It was the same thing happened to the Suns that

629
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: happened when they lost to the Celtics. They made the

630
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 3: exact same amount of shots, but they got doubled up

631
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: from the three point line. And that's going to be

632
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: a problem for the Suns because they take a lot

633
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: of contested twos. Like you're saying you can hang around

634
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: that way, yeah, but you have to shoot like eighty

635
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: percent to actually win those games. Fifty nine percent from

636
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: the field for Phoenix in this game, and they got

637
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 3: blown out basically because the Bucks went for twenty four

638
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: threes out of forty one attempts. It's just a simple math.

639
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: And that's the problem with the Suns, which is maybe

640
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: why they're bringing in Isaiah Thomas. They're like, we can't

641
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: stop anybody. Anyways, we got to start. We have to

642
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: outscore people to win. They've got a lot of great scorers,

643
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: but they need some three point shooting as well. They

644
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: got grace Analen, he's the best three point shooter in

645
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: the league. Kevin Durantz having his best three point shooting

646
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 3: seas of his career. But where else are they going

647
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: to do it? Because eleven threes in a game, fourteen

648
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: threes in a game, that's child's play at this point.

649
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, And maybe they saw

650
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: what Isaiah Thomas was doing in the G League again,

651
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: like I said, he was like on fire from three,

652
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: So maybe you add that. We'll see how much opportunity

653
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: he gets. But good win there from the Bucks without yo, honest, okay,

654
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: lots of weekend winners left. A few honorable mentions. Bam

655
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: Adebayo hitting that game winning three. You guys already brought

656
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: that up against the Pistons. They steal another from Detroit,

657
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: keeping me alive in the nut dust Bowls standings there,

658
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Iodosumo scoring a career high thirty four for your bulls. There,

659
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: they crushed the Wizard's one twenty seven to ninety eight.

660
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,959
Speaker 1: Great game from him. Rockets can't stop winning. They're on

661
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: fire right now. They beat the Calves, They've won five straight.

662
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: I think it's all a little too late in terms

663
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: of getting into the play in, but they're hanging around.

664
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: And Victor weberam a final honorable mention. Wemby joined in

665
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: Beide Barkley and Kreem Abdul Jabbar is the only players

666
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: with thirty points, fifteen boards, seven assistants, seven blocks in

667
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, he just keeps doing this like every

668
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: three nights where it's like, oh, hold on, he joined

669
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: what company? In what stats did he just put up?

670
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: So that was another one there in overtime on the weekend.

671
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: But but, but but we gotta highlight the rookies Grady

672
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: Dick and Anthony Black up to no good after the

673
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, decided to swap jerseys with one another,

674
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: and you know, hold them up boys, big smiles. Now

675
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: the Mbay's gonna love this and what everyone wants to know.

676
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: So there you see it here for your podcast listeners. Obviously,

677
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: Grady Dick holding Black's jersey so it says Black on

678
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: the left. Anthony Black holding Dick's jersey. It says Black Dick.

679
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Everyone having some laughs. They're smiling. Eric, do you think

680
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: they meant to do this? Did they know what they

681
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: were doing? Danswer is absolutely yes. They were standing on

682
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: opposite sides of each other initially, and then we're like, hey, yeah,

683
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: let's just do it. Let's just do it. They went

684
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: and got a camera guy like they they just played

685
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: the game prior. I was wondering if it happened. They're

686
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: like two games ago where they're like, hey, that was

687
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: pretty funny. We should take it. We should swap jerseys.

688
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: See what the NBA does, see if they get upset. Funny,

689
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: funny as hell. It looks hilarious. I love how much

690
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: they're smiling and how you know how they are, And

691
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we had to slip it in so an

692
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: NBA weekend winner. And then of course ivery went all, well, now,

693
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: Grady Dick's like got he must have a checklist. He's

694
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: got to like do it with Kobe White, He's got

695
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: to do it. Jayleen Brown. People were saying Jill and

696
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Suggs would be a fun one. Sheer little would make

697
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: me laugh. I would like to see Luther Head get

698
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a ten day contract and flip it and so we

699
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: get a dickhead.

700
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 3: Mark love to see Luther Head get attend.

701
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, you know JR. Ryder could come back,

702
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: Mark eaton. There's lots of possibilities, like Dick should have

703
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a list, a list, a list. So the Magic posted

704
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: it too. They tweeted it. It was up for I

705
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: don't know thirty minutes. Maybe they deleted it. It's someone

706
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: some admin did it and uh yeah, it's hilarious.

707
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 4: They're just saying hi to each other.

708
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 5: They obviously repositioned themselves as that's my favorite part.

709
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: They did it for them. There's no account.

710
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're gonna like, they're gonna print that and

711
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have that in you know, a hallway somewhere.

712
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: That is a funny photo.

713
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should display the jersey with that photo frame.

714
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely so, yes, we got it. We got it

715
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: here in the show. Don't worry. I know a lot

716
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: of you were waiting. Uh, it was gonna be tweeted

717
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: the night, but then it got deleted. So we'll just

718
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: make it a winner of the weekend. Let's take a

719
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, we'll do some NBA

720
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: Weekend losers and twet the night don't go anywhere. Okay,

721
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: here on the factory, We've done NBA weekend winners. Let's

722
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: do a batch of losers tasks. Why don't you get

723
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: it started? Who you got well?

724
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Sakers was poked in

725
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 5: the eye by Trace Jacks and Davis at the Golden

726
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 5: State Warriors. He sustained a swollen left eye and blurred

727
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 5: vision after he went back to the locker and didn't

728
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: play the rest of the game. Rob Polenk even went

729
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: there to check on Anthony Davis. LA changed the update

730
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 5: the injury from left eye contusion, as they said that day,

731
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: to left corneal abrasion.

732
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: Cornel. That's tough.

733
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: You don't like to hear cornel.

734
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 4: You don't, Yeah, it does, you know.

735
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 5: It just makes you think, oh, did he have laser

736
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 5: eye surgery? Did you get those corneas worked on? Because

737
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: you got to be out a couple of days for that.

738
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 5: With that, I should say after getting laser eye surgery.

739
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 5: You know, we can talk about the Lakers and how

740
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 5: they've dropped now two tenth seed and all that, but

741
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 5: they lost that game because Anthony Davis wasn't playing the

742
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 5: second half. They would desperately need him desperately, and there's

743
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 5: all the drama surrounding the video reviews and all that,

744
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 5: but it just stinks that Anthony Davis was out and they're.

745
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: Looking more and more and more and more like the

746
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 4: tenh seed.

747
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: At the very best, it could be.

748
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 5: The ninth seed. And you know, I came into the

749
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 5: season looking at that team that was the seventh seed

750
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 5: last year and thinking they should be better. But they

751
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 5: just aren't looking anything like that team that finished seventh,

752
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 5: and frankly, seventh would be way better than tenth because

753
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 5: you just got to play one and then play the

754
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 5: second seed. This one, you gotta go on the road

755
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 5: for a couple they finished the game, excuse me to

756
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 5: finish the season on the road with a couple regular

757
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: season games. Then they have to do two more to

758
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 5: go play the one seed. If they do win both those,

759
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 5: which would just stink for them.

760
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: They just haven't look good.

761
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 5: So all that to say, Hopefully the corneal abrasion is

762
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 5: gonna be all right and he will play potentially tonight,

763
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 5: but he is questionable tonight with that injury against the

764
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 5: Atlanta Hawks at home, which should be basically a must win,

765
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 5: but it feels like must win. Do you how many

766
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 5: more games do you want to win the rest of

767
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 5: the season, But do you want to finish the ninth

768
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 5: or tenth really was what it comes down to, because

769
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 5: they're just not catching anybody in the eighth seed. I

770
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: think they just they are desperate for all those guys

771
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: that team that looked like they could play defense last year.

772
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 5: A lot of those guys are injured. In Vanderbilt, he's out.

773
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 5: They got Camradish to do this, he's out. They got

774
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 5: Gay Vincent to do this, he's out. So they do

775
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: have injuries. All that to say, I think that is

776
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 5: a little more important than winning a game here against

777
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: the Atlanta Hawks. But anyway, hopefully he's all right.

778
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: I guess the schedule is sort of kind yeah to

779
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers and ad for this reason. You're right. They

780
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: play the Hawks to night. Does he give it a go?

781
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: Does he throwing the goggles? Does he even play? But

782
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: then they don't play all week till Friday. So that's good.

783
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Rest your corneas, close your eyes, no screen still up?

784
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right. Yeah, stay off your phone. No Netflix,

785
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: there a d but so that's good. But yeah, Hawk

786
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: six or Pacers are those three home games and they

787
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: have a long road trip where they're out for six games.

788
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, you say it doesn't really matter playing again,

789
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: the Rockets are not that far back with the way

790
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: they're playing and winning. It's what three and a half,

791
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, within striking distance, I think you could say that.

792
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: So you gotta win here enough still to keep them

793
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: at bay unless the Rockets just go on a slide.

794
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: But they probably will be in the Lakers and they'll

795
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: probably be the ten seed and maybe the ninth. Then

796
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to win a couple of games just

797
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: to get in to the freaking playoffs to then take on,

798
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, one of the best teams obviously in the league,

799
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: be it Nuggets or Thunder or Wolves. So uphill battle

800
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: here for sure. For the Lakers in a season where

801
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: they got healthy ad for the most part, a healthy

802
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: Lebron and they're still you know, just sort of basically

803
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: a five hundred team.

804
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: Ano they're silver is that Anthony Davis has had to

805
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 3: wear goggles before, and he looked very cool, like one

806
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 3: of his coolest on court looks goggles. He looked like

807
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 3: a nineteen seventies player. But the Lakers. They're the twenty

808
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,879
Speaker 3: eighth ranked defense in the league since the All Star

809
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: breakway they got completely smashed without AD against the Warriors

810
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: for the last three quarters. Warriors beat them up on

811
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: the glass and scored more points than the paint. That

812
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense, but if you factor in the

813
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: fact that Anthony Davis was up, it does make a

814
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: little bit of sense. So throw some goggles on. Look

815
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 3: cool win these next three games. These are all three

816
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: winnable games for the Lakers. They've done a pretty good

817
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: job of beating the under five hundred teams and the

818
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 3: teams they should beat, then playing about five hundred basketball

819
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 3: against actual contending teams. But I don't know. They're gonna

820
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: have to get lucky in the playing because it seems

821
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: pretty unlikely that they can get up to eighth. It's

822
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 3: got a three game lead for the eighth seed. It's feasible.

823
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: You know, they'd have to go on a bit of

824
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: a stretch here, and the Lakers just haven't been able

825
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: to put together a huge win streak.

826
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so AD gets a loser of the weekend, and

827
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: that I who you got here?

828
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: I got the LA Clippers. They're also a loser of

829
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: the weekend. They had the big loss on Friday against

830
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: the Pelicans that we talked about, kind of one of

831
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 3: the biggest seeding losses of the weekend. They lost the tiebreaker.

832
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: I think the Pelicans are also leading their division, so

833
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: they get the bump there as well. And if you

834
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 3: lose two games in a weekend in the Western Conference,

835
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna get a loser. Brutal loss Sunday at home

836
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: against the Hawks, and they got their butts kicked. The

837
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: Hawks led the final forty six minutes of this game.

838
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 3: They were up by twenty one at halftime and kept

839
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: it there for the majority of the second half. The

840
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: Hawks scored forty eight points in the point paint, more

841
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 3: than the Clippers had, thirty one fast break points to

842
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: the Clippers eleventh fast break points, and Atlanta shot seventeen

843
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: of thirty four from three. And they're starting Vet Creachie.

844
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 3: I saw Vt Creachie go by Kawhi Leonard off the dribble.

845
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. Quhi and Paul George they

846
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: did all right in this loss against the Hawks, fifty

847
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 3: four points on forty six percent shooting. The rest of

848
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: the Clippers thirty nine points on twenty nine percent shooting,

849
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: seventeen assists on the night for the Clippers, they just

850
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 3: looked so tired and bored and said, we've accomplished everything

851
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 3: we needed to accomplish. Went twenty six and five on

852
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: that great run through January and February. Since then, I

853
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: think they're eight and ten and it just looks like

854
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 3: they are ready for the playoffs to start. But you

855
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: got to get to the playoffs, and it'd be nice

856
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 3: to have home court advantage. I know, as a veteran team,

857
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 3: they probably don't care all that much going four to five,

858
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: five four versus New Orleans. But I have not been

859
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: impressed at all with the Clippers lately. They led up

860
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 3: the Bulls. I thought they looked incredible in that game,

861
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: but maybe it was just hot shooting, like Paul George

862
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: went eleven for twelve in that game. Nobody else is

863
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 3: doing anything for the Clippers right now. They've lost for

864
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: their last five, down to fourth. They just got that

865
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: one game lead on the Pelicans, and as soon as

866
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 3: the Pelicans catch them, it's flipped because of the tiebreakers.

867
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 3: So bad weekend for LA.

868
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: You can see where they do miss Westbrook's like energy too, Victor,

869
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: he can come in and if everyone's looking a little

870
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: sluggish and sort of playing with like their feet and cement,

871
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, Wes is always going to give you energy.

872
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be a ride half the time,

873
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: but never shortage of that, just like trying to get

874
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: guys going, let's go, let's play with some pace. But

875
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: obviously he's out here for significant amount of time. I

876
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: think you miss a guy like that to to sort

877
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: of shore up your second unit. But yeah, they don't look,

878
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately that stretch that you said there, Trey.

879
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: When it happened, everyone's like, oh the Clippers for real here?

880
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh could this be their year? And then it's sort

881
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: of right now back to like the Clippers where you're like,

882
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: you're hesitant and you're like, of course they could lose

883
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: in a first round series. Yeah, everything breaks right. With

884
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: Kawhi and PG as your star players, they could go

885
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: very far. But you're like, I don't know which one's

886
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 1: more likely. You know where I land. I'm usually I'm

887
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: going to veer towards it's more like an early exit

888
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 1: because of unfortunate injuries or stuff like that. We'll see,

889
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: we'll see I don't know. They're a tough team to

890
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: figure out. Like I said, I'm not even sure who

891
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick when it gets to like, if it

892
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: is Pelicans Clippers, it's gonna be a flip of the coin,

893
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 1: I think.

894
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: I think the depressing thing for the Clippers is it

895
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with injuries. Like Harden was back

896
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: playing on Sunday, Paul George was out, Kawhi Leonard was

897
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 3: out there. No Westbrook. I agree his energy is important

898
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 3: for the Clippers, but they've been generally healthy. I know

899
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 3: Harden missed a couple of games. He missed the Bulls

900
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: game and then he missed that Pelicans game as well.

901
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: He didn't have it going on Sunday at all. I

902
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 3: guess he's playing through a shoulder strain, which you know,

903
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: maybe slows him down. But they've been generally pretty healthy

904
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 3: this season, and it looks great when they look great.

905
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: But now they're kind of looking like when Harden first

906
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: came to the team and they're just standing around waiting

907
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 3: for things to happen.

908
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like a new rotation like it did

909
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 5: when Harden got there and they looked terrible. Now, Russell

910
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 5: Westbrook out and Bones Highland and PJ Tucker in. They

911
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: just don't look like the same team, and so maybe

912
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 5: they just got to get comfortable with that. You see

913
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard leave that spasm game where he had spasms

914
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 5: in his back and then came back and played back

915
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 5: to back no problem. But this Hawks game was the

916
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 5: low water mark because if you look at all the

917
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: losses since Russ has been out, and you mentioned that

918
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 5: their run here, Trey, they was Milwaukee, Milwaukee again, Minnesota Pelicans. Okay,

919
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 5: those those are all fine glasses, they're fine, and then

920
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: the Hawks. The Hawks was the one where they really

921
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: just are we even trying here? It looks like they're

922
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 5: ready for the end of the season, and maybe.

923
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 4: They want that five seed.

924
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 5: Maybe they want to drop from four to five so

925
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 5: they can get on the road and play the Pelicans,

926
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 5: because Tyler is.

927
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 4: Good at that.

928
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 5: Going back to the Cavs days, I mean, that's what

929
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 5: Lebron did, No problem. I'll win that one game game one,

930
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 5: I should say, not that one game to game one.

931
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: He'll DeAndre Hunter for the Hawks. Just to slip this

932
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: in here at a good game against the Clips, twenty

933
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: points in like twenty four minutes of action. He's playing

934
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: really well DeAndre Hunter coming off the bench for the Hawks.

935
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: Over his last fourteen games, he's savaging eighteen points per

936
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: game and shooting fifty from the floor, forty four from deep,

937
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, chipping in some rebounds. Doesn't move the ball

938
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: with that much, so not a lot of assists. But

939
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: he's got to be on the Eltiso team, which I

940
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: haven't talked about a lot. DeAndre Hunter, Yeah, yeah, is

941
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: a classic Eltiso guy where you can start to get

942
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: excited when he puts the other stretches like this, but

943
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: he will let you down, so don't get too excitedly.

944
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 2: Ah.

945
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: But that's good. That's good for the Hawks fans, and

946
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 1: you know they're holding on here. And that actually pairs

947
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: nicely with my loser of the weekend, which is the

948
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets, who are in theory chasing the Hawks, but

949
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: they're playing chances I think went poof this weekend. The

950
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: Nets lost back to back games. They fell to twenty

951
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: six and forty two. They're four and a half games

952
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: back now from Atlanta, who are the tenth seed. On Saturday,

953
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Brooklyn gave up eighty two points in the paint to

954
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: the Pacers, they let them get seventeen offensive rebounds. They

955
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: helped him out by coughing it over twenty one times.

956
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: Just an embarrassing game from them. They collapsed in the

957
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: second half. They lost by twenty one points. And then

958
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday they put up more of a fight. They

959
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: even had a ten point advantage in the fourth quarter,

960
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: and then they got wem beat. They lost to the

961
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: Spurs in overtime. But those two losses right there, they

962
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: finished their road trip one in five. They come home

963
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: to play the Pelicans on Tuesday night and then have

964
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: to go back on the road for another four game stretch.

965
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: That's ten out of their eleven games on the road,

966
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's a wrap. I don't see them

967
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: catching Atlanta. I don't think you should even be allowed

968
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: in the play in with you know, basically thirty wins,

969
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: which they'll be happy with at this point. And I

970
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: saw nets Daily tweet this. Sean Mark stated at Jacques

971
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: Vaughan's dismissal that this team is too talented to have

972
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: such a poor record. Well, not much has really changed.

973
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: I think it's got maybe worse with Kevin Olli in control.

974
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: They're just a bad team and they're you know, outclass

975
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to talent, and then maybe the coaches

976
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: are making some odd choices. Bad weekend for the Nets,

977
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: and I think you can. I mean, I'm ready to

978
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: say I don't think they're making the play in. I

979
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: think they're done.

980
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 4: No, that's totally fair. With how they've reacted to a

981
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 4: coach change.

982
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 5: Hasn't gone well since then. I think it's the most

983
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 5: disappointing season in the NBA of any team. And I

984
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 5: know the Pistons horrendous. You can look at other teams

985
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 5: that are bad, right, but this Yeah, but this team

986
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 5: was good last year. This team was forty five and

987
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 5: thirty seven. Okay, you know you can.

988
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 3: A lot of those are Kevin Durant wins.

989
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 5: Those are Kevin Durant Wentz. Sure, they did do fairly well.

990
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 5: They did way better with Mkel Bridges as their number

991
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 5: one guy. They just had a different mentality, different locker room,

992
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 5: different identity. They started this season so poorly. The whole

993
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 5: thing and the fact that they're this poor on both

994
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 5: ends of the floor.

995
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: Especially they're not good at anything. Yeah, just below average offensively,

996
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: below average defensively.

997
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just had it just the way they ended

998
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 5: last season with mckl bridges as the numer one guy.

999
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 5: You think, okay, all right, we've got something lots of

1000
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 5: money for him and for Cam Johnson, and that has

1001
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 5: not worked out. Ben Simmons was starting as their lead

1002
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 5: guard to start this season and the identity just has

1003
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 5: not been found at all. That doesn't look like last

1004
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 5: year's team at.

1005
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: They started three and two.

1006
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: They had those two nights wins over the Hawks right

1007
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: at the beginning of March, right and it was like, ooh, they.

1008
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: Could actually maybe make up, maybe play push here. It's

1009
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: just been bad ever since. Yeah, so there you go.

1010
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: There are some losers. Like we said, I think the

1011
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: Suns you could throw in as possible loser giving up

1012
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty to the Bucks. Anyone else, any

1013
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: teams or players on the list or that's.

1014
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: Gotten smashed twice and this Yeah, I got beat by

1015
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 3: thirty by the Bulls and then thirty by the Celtics.

1016
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: You understand getting beat by thirty by the Celtics, but

1017
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: the Balls are not a high scoring team. And they

1018
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: put up one twenty seven on Washington.

1019
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: And I am so lucky again to go back to

1020
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: the nut dust Bowl rankings. Like the Pistons have lost

1021
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: I want to say, four or five games, sort of

1022
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: in heartbreaking fashion, Like you should be well clear of

1023
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: my crappy Wizards at this point, but they keep coming

1024
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: up short, like just shortened these games, and you know

1025
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: they still have one win more than the Wizards. But

1026
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: it could have been over. You guys could have been

1027
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: talking to each other, you know, exchange texts about the

1028
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: nut medley that you're putting together.

1029
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 3: How do you feel about chili onion peanuts?

1030
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I like them.

1031
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good.

1032
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: They are good, but that's gonna be a tough dust.

1033
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to mentally prepare because I did not.

1034
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch any Wizards game and it's a

1035
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: old boy, it's bad. It's very bad. The Pistons are

1036
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: a much better team. They're only one win better, but

1037
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: they're a much better team than the Wizards. But they

1038
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: play each other. That's a big one that's coming up,

1039
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: coming up a month. I think I said we should

1040
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: that Friday next Friday, we should. We should play back

1041
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: on a Friday night. Let's go out tonight. No, I

1042
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: gotta watch the Pistons Wizards play on playback. All right,

1043
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: let's get to tweet of the night.

1044
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 4: Tweet O the night. Wow, this is.

1045
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: A fun tweet of the night. I was laughing all

1046
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: weekend long, had this clip on repeat. I hate to

1047
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: do this to my guy Amino Hassen, but at Miles

1048
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: Erlick tweeted video that did say add it to the

1049
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: Iman Athletic Highlight reel and it's again Amino Hassan uh

1050
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: taking a corner three. I guess he was playing in

1051
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: this au Celebrity Hoops Classic. I think it was in Dallas.

1052
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: And the clip for you podcast listeners, you got to

1053
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: seek it out. Is a funky release from a mean

1054
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: and it's a big air ball. So it's look, hey,

1055
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: we've all air ball to three. We're all guilty of

1056
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: doing that. But it's really the release that we have

1057
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: a We have a screen grab of people are saying,

1058
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: what's he He's like throwing gang signs while he's shooting here.

1059
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy. It's a funky, funky follow through. I don't

1060
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: even know how you would describe it.

1061
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: It looks like he's shooting a finger roll.

1062
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: From the corner.

1063
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: The corner, yeah, but the ball somehow goes straight. I

1064
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: don't understand how this ended up being an airball to

1065
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: the mart right.

1066
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: Yea, except it's a good point. It's a great point.

1067
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: It went to two feet to the right, but looks like

1068
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: it should be two feet to the left and maybe

1069
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: hitting the shot clock, so it means a good sport.

1070
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: He leans into it. He even tweeted at dartha mean,

1071
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: when the internet comes for you, the only way out

1072
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: is to just accept it, and even had a gift

1073
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: from I Believe the Mummy, so he knows, just give

1074
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: it to me. I can take it. I thought I

1075
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: saw you had a clip to explaining it like a

1076
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 1: mean fashion.

1077
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 4: Well watch that.

1078
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very funny.

1079
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 5: It was very funny the way he is shooting sort

1080
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 5: of to the left with that right hand. He lost

1081
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 5: the ball, I guess when he went up for it,

1082
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 5: because his hand is behind the ball.

1083
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 4: And then and then it ends up.

1084
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 5: Being you know, it looks like the number three he's

1085
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 5: throwing up there or something with his fingers, because.

1086
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 4: It looks like he just loses it.

1087
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 5: And he does say in that video that it was

1088
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 5: a woman's ball, and he said a lot, and I

1089
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, it was too small, It felt too

1090
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 5: small in his hands. So he wasn't used to it,

1091
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 5: like he was shooting a mini we're talking me do.

1092
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: He said, he like his best you know, defense to

1093
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: why it looked like he hasn't played pro basketball or

1094
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: basketball excuse me, in a very long time. And that

1095
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: looked like the shot of somebody who I picked up

1096
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: a basketball.

1097
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 4: At a very long That was a game because you're

1098
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:18,760
Speaker 4: just shooting the ball.

1099
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: I know, but because he han't played anyway. My favorite

1100
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: thing about him mean is uh, you know, like us,

1101
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: he loves a good pun. So he was sharing some

1102
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: puns of you know, sort of like what you would

1103
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: say like an NBA player bad poorly example Stale Ellis

1104
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: Spas read, Dan Narley, Cedric Airbalos. I think John Hollingder

1105
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: threw it a stiff Curry I loved, Gordon Wayward made

1106
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: me laugh man, you Gennoble, James Unworthy and my favorite one,

1107
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: I laughed so hard just it's funny to just see

1108
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: it now, like this Jeff Hornish shit. There were many

1109
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: others I only pulled like ten, like another fifty that

1110
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: he was sharing.

1111
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 3: So he good hand dar that one's gonna stick with me.

1112
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: Use that on the other player. I like any of

1113
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 3: them that have a Sun's connection because I mean has action.

1114
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: They get an extra bump.

1115
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: Che Hornish, Cedric Arbalos and Dan Nurley maybe the best

1116
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: of the tough Big three. What a clip, man, what

1117
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: a clip? I don't I think. I don't know if

1118
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: his team won. Even Ben Lyons was playing in this

1119
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: celebrity game. I saw a photo of the group. I

1120
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 1: think that they looked happy, and it's maybe they won.

1121
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: Let's call it there though, that's weekend winners and losers,

1122
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: and a little tweeted the night fun at the expense

1129
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: has to I'm like jay Z, I only need one take.

1130
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 5: I read a.

1131
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: Tip I think it was in the Washington posts from

1132
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: like some like expert who I guess does really well

1133
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: at filling these out, like a reckontologist whatever the hell

1134
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: they called themselves, And I do this. I fill it

1135
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: out where I look at that matchup and I move

1136
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: it over, and I look at that matchup and I

1137
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: move it over. He says the way to go about

1138
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: it is to actually like pick your final fours or

1139
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: your Elite eights, whatever further in and put them in,

1140
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: slot them in. Teams are just confident with matter the matchup,

1141
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: and sort of them build out. I was like, huh,

1142
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it this year. Take that tip and

1143
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: apply it. See if it does anything.

1144
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 3: Who are you feeling, Oh, the jack Rabbits. Of course,

1145
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: I'll probably make it to the Elite eight at least,

1146
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: I would say fifteen seed.

1147
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: There's four teams that have over thirty wins.

1148
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 3: Gotta be yukon, I know, yeah.

1149
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: And then there's like some mid major teams that you

1150
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: know sometimes have those credible shirts. I watched a little

1151
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: bit of the selection show for the last show, and

1152
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: then I think the women's was later. I didn't see

1153
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: any of that one. They selected some teams nice.

1154
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 3: I only select like one team though, because I saw

1155
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 3: the guy on the during the conference tournaments on Saturday,

1156
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 3: it was like thirty five of the thirty six at

1157
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 3: large teams are already locked in, So one one selection.

1158
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 4: Well, I guess the whole show for what election election show.

1159
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: We gotta know who's playing each other and all that

1160
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: schedule show they doesn't call it. My favorite thing is

1161
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: the parts I saw they would like go to the

1162
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: team where it'd be like all right, uh and then

1163
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 1: number two seed Iowa State. You know, I'd show them

1164
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: all their fans and then it would show the team

1165
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: they're playing, And it was always funny to see how

1166
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: the team would react to their opponent. Yeah, they were

1167
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,479
Speaker 1: just sort of just like because you can't be like, yeah,

1168
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick their ass. You gonna be like, okay,

1169
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: all right, well we got the jack Rabbits two fifteen matchup.

1170
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: It could be tough, could be tough, gotta prepare.

1171
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 4: That's just just just go over the top. So they

1172
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna beat them. What's art of that?

1173
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 3: Weird?

1174
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, a good point. Confidence. We have confidence.

1175
00:52:58,520 --> 00:52:58,799
