WEBVTT - What's Wright - Warriors survive THRILLER vs Rockets, Lakers on life support + Saquon & Trump

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in.

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll driving the Great Episode three twenty six, after another

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:13.120
<v Speaker 2>thrilling NBA playoff game, Golden State Warriors escape and take

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 2>firm and full control of the series. If at some

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>point Jalen Green shows up to the series other than

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Game two, maybe we'd have one, but we don't. That, however,

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>is not the story of the game. The story of

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the game is Draymond Green. We will get to him momentarily.

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>There is a lot to do on today's show. I

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I want to address Saquon's tweet because I think, well,

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I just want to address it, and it's probably not

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 2>what you think I'm gonna say, but I want to

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 2>discuss that. Also, we did an emergency pod yesterday. We

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>have done on the pod. We haven't done anything related

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>to Shador's slide in the draft, which is it really?

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Is that really a common tarry about Shador or is

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>that a commentary about the media. Is it a meta

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>commentary on commentary?

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>All of that.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Demonse, though fresh from his brand new studio with his

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>right eleven Celtics Jersey our YouTube plaque looking great, sound well,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're sounding great or not.

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me hear you good.

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 3>To see you, pops. But yeah, we're at a new location.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 3>It took me a little bit less time to get

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 3>here today, but yeah, excited to do it from the

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 3>old apartment.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, I wasn't gonna dox you now everyone knows

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.320
<v Speaker 2>where you're at the now the but no, that works.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>So Demansey's got the home setup. I've got the home setup.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It's great.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>We are by coastal on this show. Before though, we

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>get to Rockets Warriors, Let's get to what missed the cut.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>We'll miss the cut in today's show, the Commanders returning

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to d C.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I haven't followed that story. Listen.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>The thundersweep the Grizzlies and the Cavs sweep the Heat,

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and they both those series involved fifty plus point wins.

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Jah though says he had the Thunder figured out. By

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the way, for those keeping track at home, the Thunder

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>were eight no against the Grizzlies this year. However, I

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 2>guess Joe's point is it went from fifty to seventeen

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>to up twenty seven. Had I stayed health, we had

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>a won Game six of that series by ninety points.

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>The trajectory we were on for Oklahoma City and for

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland their rewards as being the one seed. The NBA

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 2>has never done this before. They did it this year, though,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the rewards for the one seed was a bye, a

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>true first round by and so their playoffs will start

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>next week. Also, we typically stay out of this silly

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>internet memory, but this one hundred men versus one gorilla

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>topic is simply too delectable to ignore, so we will

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>get to that later in the show. A reminder, if

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>you're watching live on the chat, like rate subscribe review

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>and you can ask your questions the subscriptions, ratings reviews.

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>All of that really does help, all right, demanse, Let's

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>get to Rockets Warriors.

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, Golden State went up three to one against

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 3>the Rockets. Despite Steph's somewhat mediocre game, this series has

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 3>been super chippy and Houston actually had a chance there

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 3>at the end. Shanghun had a go ahead bucket he missed.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Van Vliet had a three in transition missed that as well.

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 3>You picked the Rockets in this series. In this series,

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 3>do you think they've officially blown it?

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they have probably blown it. I real quick,

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>did you think Van Vleet shot was going in? I

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 2>thought it was going in.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>No, he had it exactly in line.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It was just off by, like just short.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Usually when you take those kind of running almost sideways threes,

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>if you miss it, you're gonna miss it to the right.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>When I saw the line it was on, I was like,

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>holy shit, he made.

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean there were a bunch of air balls yesterday.

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Steph had two, Draymond had a couple. Van Vliet had won.

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>But the story of the game is Draymond Green. Because

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>put this game on Draymond's basketball tombstone, just the perfect

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 2>vintage Draymond Green. Every single reason you love him or

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>every single reason you can't stand him, a true Draymond

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Green playoff masterclass. And listen, Draymond has consumed a fair

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 2>amount of my Draymond Green related media. I hope he

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 2>sees this and or I hope someone sends it to him,

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>because listen, I don't Draymond Green and I have a

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of mutual not just acquaintances, but close friends that

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>has once put us in the same room in a

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 2>social setting. It it was nothing bad at all. We

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>were both cordial, but it wasn't you know, warm and

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>I you know, understandable and you know probably sixty forty

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>my fault in that regard. But and I am someone

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 2>who has been highly critical. I think fairly of a

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of the Draymond Green nonsense, and at times I

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>poke a little fun at the backpack shots and the

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>triple singles. However, yesterday was the perfect encapsulation.

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>For why.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>This era of Warriors basketball if you remove the supercharged

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:09.280
<v Speaker 2>three years with Durant that were its own thing, the

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>pre Durant and post Durant era, even when you had

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 2>prime Klay Thompson, and now you have playoff Jimmy Butler

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 2>each and every year, for good or for bad, the

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>second most important player on that team is Draymond Green.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:35.799
<v Speaker 2>And as much as Steph unlocks everyone on their offense,

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Draymond unlocks everyone on their defense. And last night was

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 2>just perfect because Draymond hits his first two shots, then

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>can't hit the broadside of a bar, and the rest

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 2>of the night, Draymond is flailing and flopping and grabbing

0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and kicking and doing every single thing he can do

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>up to the line to where he gets ejected without

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 2>being ejected, and he is snarling and spittling and intimidating

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the rockets and then playing an extra level mind game

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>when he tries to with the free throw line on

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the box outline, you know, apologize or make amends with

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Tarry Esen. And then Amen Thompson comes over and is like, hey,

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>don't be friendly with Draymond. Then Draymond gets into it

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>with Amen, and it's just the full Draymond experience, and

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it's all wrapped around absolute lockdown, shut down defense on

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Alpern Shingun who in the minute that Shingoon got with

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Draymond off the he scored any time he wanted. I

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>thought Udoka made a significant error in the moment Draymond

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>picked up his fifth ball and went to the bench.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>He didn't put Shingoun right back in the game. Now,

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 2>he put him in shortly thereafter, But that needed to

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>be instantaneous. Every single minute Draymond was not on the court,

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Shingoon should have been on the court absolutely cooking.

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's ultimately what he did.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Ultimately, he went back in the game, lit him up,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and then Draymond came back in and Shingoon was shook

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>and Draymond asked for one on one defensive assignment game

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 2>on the line. Shingoon makes the shot you're going back

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 2>to Golden State. I'm sorry, going back to Houston. That's

0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>very important. Two games apiece, Shingoon misses the shot and

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you have a commanding lead on the series, and.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Draymond got him.

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 2>And so years ago when the Warriors were at their

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>apex and.

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>People thought this was.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Anti Kawhi rather than being pro Draymond. But I was

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>on the record that I thought Draymond should have won

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive Defensive Player of the Year awards. I thought

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Draymond's ability to let them play small and to still

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 2>have a dominant defense was such an underrated element of

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the fifteen and sixteen Warriors. What people forget about those

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>two Warriors years pre Durant was, yes, Steph was unbelievable,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and nobody forgets the threes and the seventy three wins

0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and Clay's thirty seven point quarter and all of that.

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>What people do forget is they had the number one

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 2>defensive basketball those two years, and that was Draymond Green.

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't just Draymond. Iggy was a great defender, Clay

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 2>was a great defender, but Draymond Green was the tip

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of the spear. And for Draymond at this age, at

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>this point of his career, when a legitimate concern for

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Draymond was he is already at a deficit athletically. What

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>is it going to look like when he just loses

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>five ten percent of his athleticism, when he's already not

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the quickest, can't obviously jump, viist any of that.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And the answer is his.

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Toughness, his tenacity, his basketball brilliance will overcome all of it.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>And it is really a remarkable feat what he has

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 2>been able to accomplish in this series without ever scoring,

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>without ever scoring in double digits. It is.

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely spectacular and it shows a that one of.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>The smartest quotes he's ever given is, there's eighty two

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 2>game guys in their sixteen game guys, and he is

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the definition of a sixteen game guy. And to be clear,

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't absolve him of all the nonsense, and it

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make him, in my opinion, particularly enjoyable to watch,

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 2>but it is the definition of a player who understood,

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I have one path to being a great player, and

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 2>that is the path I am going to walk, and

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I have respect for that. And it is such a

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>luxury for Steph Curry that Steph can have an off night,

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 2>seventeen three and three four turnovers. Hit the one huge shot,

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>just a shot that the Warrior has been hitting for

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 2>ten years. You get a defensive stop, knock the ball

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>out of balance. They got two on the shot clock.

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>You know they're going to Steph for three. You know

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>he's pump faking. You're gonna bite on the pump fake

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>anyway and give up the three late in the fourth.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>That was really his only noteworthy.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Moment of the second half, and they can win anyway. Now,

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 2>speaking of Steph, people got very mad.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>DEMANSA.

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 2>You saw it coming when we were doing the show

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday and I kind of did the impromptu Steph

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Curry rules mini rant. Yeah, you you could tell that

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>that was going to be an unpopular take. You might

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>have even thought it was a slightly unfair take from

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the look.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Of Yeah, I thought you were being scenari towards the

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Curry fans, and that's not necessarily Curry. But yeah, I

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 3>mean definitely knew that was going to get some engagements.

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So a few things on that. One is.

0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>People then tried to take my Steph take and remove

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Steph and put in Lebron's name because now it looks

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>like they're going to lose in round one, which is

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>a unique and interesting turn of phrase and a smart

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>thing to do if you can say with a straight

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 2>face that there has ever been a single moment of

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James's career where he has skirted criticism where it's

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>been like, oh, the media didn't jump on Lebron there. Wow,

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>people are just missing the boat on this one. People

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>are Wow, they're sure letting Lebron for that early playoff

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 2>exit slide, Like that's never happened.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So it.

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't to say he's never come up short. It was

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to say or it wasn't even to say that Steph

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 2>regularly does. It was to say.

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>That in regards to.

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Steph, the commentary somewhat vacillates between he's underappreciated goat point

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 2>guard in the goat conversation. That's the upper end, and

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 2>then the bad game or disappointing game or disappointing playoff

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 2>performance end is nothing. And I would argue if folks

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 2>want to do the Lebron comparison there, that the Lebron

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>comp would be the upper end is.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>That was amazing.

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 2>But here's why Jordan would have done it better, and

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 2>the lower end is lefraud La Mickey. And here's why,

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? This is STEP's era or

0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Kobe would have this. So it's just the way it's

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 2>phrased a little differently. Which is why, even though I

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>have great respect and truly a level of awe watching

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry at age thirty seven do what he's doing,

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind, you know the let me interrupt myself here.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>You guys remember Batman begins and okay, so the producers there, nerds,

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 2>they'll they'll remember.

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 3>What it was called?

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Something of Shadows? Was it the League of Shadows? I

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like this is Daniel right in my ear.

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>He's got it. I knew it. Daniel was on it.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Uh the so who was that? Who was the actor

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the main guy for the League of Shadows?

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Liam? It was Liam Neeson. That's right.

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>So Liam Neeson and the League of Shadows basically says

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a bad guy. I'm just here to provide balance.

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>When things get out of whack, we come in and

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 2>even things out. Okay, I sadly would appear, Oh yeah,

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 2>ros I'll thank you. Sadly it would appear that I

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 2>have to be that character for some of the Steph

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Curry stuff.

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not that he's not one of the twelve.

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Greatest players ever, the greatest shooter ever, the greatest small

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 2>player ever, an all time champion team made.

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.360
<v Speaker 1>All of it.

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 2>It's that because he is so universally beloved.

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>That there is no balance. Yes, and so my.

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Version of bringing balance to Monsa is sending a you know,

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>somewhat an a Dyninge tweet with a minute left in

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 2>the basketball game last night that says, really interested in

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 2>who is and who isn't on the court this possession,

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 2>because you then saw the Golden State Warriors in the

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 2>biggest possession defensively of their season, tell Steph Curry sit

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 2>over here.

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Give us a minute.

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And then they called time out, got him back on

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the court, and then the next possession, the shingoon possession,

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:35.120
<v Speaker 2>we come out of commercial, and I'm like, oh, I wonder,

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if a guy who I am a hater

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:44.000
<v Speaker 2>because I won't include in the goat conversation, I wonder

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 2>if his head coach thinks what gives us the best

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 2>chance to win right now is either having Steph Curry

0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 2>or Brandon Putjimski on the court, and Steve Kerr was like,

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>let's press the brand and Pajimski button.

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And again, I know that that makes me a bad guy.

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I can.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I can wear the black hat for this. But as

0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I as I mentioned.

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 3>That Curry doesn't receive the same amount of criticism that

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 3>it's it's not no.

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not even that.

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 2>I would just like an acknowledgement that it happens, that's all,

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.160
<v Speaker 2>like I. And so I did that top twelve thing,

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and I put Steph and Shack in the same right

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 2>outside the top ten bucket. And the reason I thought

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 2>it was interesting they were eleven twelve again, you know

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was lebron Kareem, Michael Magic, Russell, Wilt Duncan,

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Kobe Bird, a Cheme, Shack stuff that Shaq had a

0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.879
<v Speaker 2>similar thing where late in games when they had a

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 2>lead and they were on offense, they'd take him out

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 2>for free throws. By the way, and I don't really

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 2>go on Instagram, so I always have dms that I

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>that I missed. But how about this DM that I

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't know how to respond to because I couldn't tell

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>if he was actually happy with it or not. From

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Shaquille O'Neill on ig. Thanks Top twelve is nice?

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Thanks?

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Do we think that was like sincere or he's mad

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>at me because Shaq Shaq does his pod with one

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 2>of my dear friends, Adam Lefko. I really like Shaq,

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't he He came on first things first seven

0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.399
<v Speaker 2>years ago, picked Deanna up. We have a great picture.

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I don't. I don't want Shack.

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 3>I first came out with that was like back a

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 3>couple of years ago.

0:20:55.240 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 2>No, he sent it three days ago. No, it was

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>because of the Steph clip. So that's why I'm worried

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>because the context of that clip is, I'm like, here

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.359
<v Speaker 2>are the greatest players. Two of them had a flaw

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>that opponents tried to exploit. One of them was Shack.

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 2>And then he's saying thanks Top twelve.

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>But he didn't mention that, yes, maybe we're good.

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 2>But to get back on track, I watched those games,

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and during the games when they took Shack off the court,

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the commentators didn't pretend it wasn't happening, or they didn't

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>act confused as.

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 1>To why it was happening.

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 2>When the Lakers had a four point lead with forty

0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 2>seconds left and all of a sudden, Shacks coming out

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of the game. No one was like, oh, interesting call

0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:51.120
<v Speaker 2>by Phil Jackson. We're gonna get some Sasha Vuya chich

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes here. Hey, Sasha wasn't on those teams. My apologies,

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>or maybe he was on the end, but regardless, nobody,

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:03.399
<v Speaker 2>nobody was making those no just saying those things, be like, oh,

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>don't want to you know, Shack's liability of the line.

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 2>They want to get him out of the game. And

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>so again, I think that Steph's Game three, which we

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 2>talked about yesterday, was an all time performance and you

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>saw that in the game, and then you saw it

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 2>in the talk shows and TV shows yesterday that we're

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:38.520
<v Speaker 2>paying homage to it. Steph's Game four performance what you're

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 2>not going to see, And I'm fine, and you shouldn't

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 2>because it's it's it's toxic commentary is all.

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Steph carried by Jimmy. You're not gonna get that.

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 2>And I just and that is it's just a nice

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 2>goldilock zone in the public consciousness to live. And I thought,

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I think that right now the Steph where I will

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:08.719
<v Speaker 2>in all seriousness and yesterday wasn't a good example of it.

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 2>But this whole series has been it has been really

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 2>remarkable to watch the Rockets entire the Rockets, who are

0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>a decade younger than the Warriors, with nothing but long,

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 2>strong defenders to throw at him. Their entire game plan

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:34.439
<v Speaker 2>B just please don't let Steph Curry kill us. And

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 2>they've really only been able to execute it successfully in

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 2>one game, like they and they lost it, but the

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I get well, no, I guess you could say they

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 2>executed it in Game two as well. That's that's I'm

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Steph has had two brilliant games. Game one was the

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.640
<v Speaker 2>best game anyone had played up to that point the postseason.

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I understand it was the first weekend, and Game three

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>might be the best game anyone's played in the postseason

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>other than the Ants game.

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 3>What does that mean for other teams in the West too?

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 3>If this young and spry Rockets team can't stop Curry,

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, Denver has got some defensive problems. I don't

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 3>know if they're going to be seeing them.

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:22.560
<v Speaker 2>And well, listen, what every other team has is someone

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 2>who can score the basketball. Yeah, I mean that's the

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.440
<v Speaker 2>you're you're right that this will be STEP's heart Now

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 2>if they get Minnesota. Minnesota is going to be a

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 2>son of a bitch. Defensively, we're seeing that right now.

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>But what the other teams have is the ability to score,

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and that brings I mean, I'm I could not be

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 2>further out on Jalen Green. I was never really in

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>on Jalen Green.

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I and.

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 2>You know is Jailen I just that is not the

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 2>style of player I tend to love. But also, being

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 2>in single digit seven of your last eight games is wild.

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 2>It's really wild. All right, Let's get to the Lakers Timberwolves.

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you said on your show that their season

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 3>the Lakers ended last weekend, but the series isn't over.

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.880
<v Speaker 3>How would you explain that? How would they still be alive?

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.959
<v Speaker 2>So listen, I think they can. I actually think they

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 2>can win the series. They obviously need a lot of

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 2>things to break their way. The reason I said the

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>season's over, and I mean it is because the goal

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 2>of the season was to make the finals win the championship,

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and they had a very narrow path to doing that,

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 2>and one of the parts of that path was winning

0:25:55.880 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>in round one in short order and definitively not letting

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:04.679
<v Speaker 2>round one go seven. Now it's going to take a

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>heroic effort just to get.

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Out of round one in seven. But here's the problem.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Demanse starting tomorrow, best case scenario for the Lakers. They

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 2>play on the following dates April thirtieth, May second, May fourth,

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 2>May sixth, May eighth, May tenth, May twelfth, May fourteenth,

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 2>May sixteenth, May eighteenth, May twentieth, May twenty second, May

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth, May twenty sixth, May twenty eighth, May thirtieth,

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:40.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty their best case scenario. And I guess really, technically

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>the best case scenario is some of those games are

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 2>clipped out because they get they get out of this

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>round and then win in round two quickly. That's so yeah,

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's now we're not really talking realistic scenarios. The

0:26:55.320 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>point is round one was the only with extra time

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>between games, and you could get that in round two

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 2>if you win your round one series early. But none

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>of that is happening, and now they are on starting

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and every other day until this season ends trajectory.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's hard enough to win when the guy who's

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 2>playing the best for you on your team is forty

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 2>years old and at seventy thousand minutes, it is impossible

0:27:33.800 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to win when that the guy who's playing the best

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 2>of anyone on your team is forty years old at

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy thousand minutes, and the coach has made it very

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>clear to the team and the entire world, there's five

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>guys on this team I even want to let look

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.120
<v Speaker 2>me in the eye. I mean, that was the other

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 2>piece of it, like the to to show that little

0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>faith in the rest of your squad that early in

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:06.880
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs is I just don't know that you can

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 2>come back from it. And so that's why I said

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the season's over now. I think they'll win tomorrow. I

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 2>think you and I will be on here Thursday, coming

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>off a Lakers win and discussing, well, if they can

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 2>just win Friday in Minnesota, where they had opportunities to

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 2>win both of the previous two, then you have a

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Game seven in Los Angeles, and I'll talk myself into it.

0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>There's no question about.

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 2>It, especially given the level Lebron is playing, because what

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be the question going into these playoffs

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>was more about what level would Lebron be at. Instead,

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 2>he's twenty six, ten and eight with the best defense

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>on the team. He's been by the advanced numbers, the

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 2>best rim protector in the NBA these playoffs. He's just

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>played forty six minutes and had the energy on defense,

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have it on offense at the end. So he's

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 2>been and now he's gonna have two days. So he's

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>been excellent. And I'll talk myself into that Luca is

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>going to get, you know, back to true Luca form.

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But I just don't think they have enough bodies.

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And it is true that from a narrative and infuriating

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:46.680
<v Speaker 2>media cycle perspective, and folks that you know, take pleasure

0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in my pain, we are potentially staring down the barrel

0:29:54.280 --> 0:30:04.479
<v Speaker 2>at from annoying and infuriating narrative perspective of a worst

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 2>case scenario, which is somehow a Lebron slash Luca masterpiece

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>over these next three games serves them up dead, tired

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and exhausted to a fresh rested Warriors team coming off

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:34.880
<v Speaker 2>a five game beating of Houston. And then we get

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Steph Lebron in round two, and folks in that series

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 2>will of course pretend that we didn't get Steph Lebron

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>in round.

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Two two years ago.

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>When folks acted like big stakes on this series. Oh

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 2>it's finally a fair fight. And then if you remember

0:30:55.360 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 2>that series culminated in Steph falling down at mid court,

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 2>then throwing the ball backwards over his head out of

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>bounds in the deciding game, and the Lakers cruising, everyone

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 2>will pretend as if that didn't happen, and this is

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:19.959
<v Speaker 2>the newest referendum. I would not enjoy those basketball games,

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that much right now. And the Lakers

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>have put themselves in a position now with the assistance

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 2>of Jalen Green and some great Warriors play that we

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 2>talked earlier of that being the scenario we're looking at.

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 2>The best case scenario coming in was the opposite. Of course,

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers handle business, beat Minnesota in five or six.

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors have a seven game war with Houston. And

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 2>this is why playoff basketball is so great. We are

0:31:55.960 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 2>like three possessions away from that being the case. Lebron's

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>masterpiece thirty eight points in Game three, if Luca just

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 2>has anything in the tank, they have that. They have

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 2>a double digit lead in Game four and they have

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the ball up to with a minute left, everything goes

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>wrong from there that point forward. That's between Lakers being

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 2>down three to one and up three to one. And

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>last night, how many opportunities did Houston have, most notably

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:34.240
<v Speaker 2>just Shingoon shot at the end for that series to

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 2>be two to two. But that's the playoffs, man. The

0:32:37.480 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Clippers were one hundredth of a second away from planning

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.720
<v Speaker 2>for Oklahoma City, and now they kind of know deep

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 2>down we're gonna be playing a game seven at altitude

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:54.040
<v Speaker 2>in Denver. We're the best player in the world on

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the other team. It's just just unbelievable.

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, the.

0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, it's Shane Goon. Yeah, so Chris is saying.

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe. I can't believe that no one has

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 2>gotten to Reggie about this. You are sitting next to

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Harlan. He is calling him Shin Goon. He's the

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 2>best player on the Rockets. He's their only all star.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>His name is shing Goon. If you were going to

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 2>mispronounce it because it's an international name and you were

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>just gonna do it the way it's spelled, that would

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 2>be Singoon. There is no a in the name. You

0:33:47.920 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 2>are calling the NBA playoffs. You are saying his name

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 2>fifty times, and you won't stop calling him Shane Goon.

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like. I don't understand it. It is beyond baffling.

0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Beyond baffling.

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I've gotten hip to your your Reggie Miller take. I was.

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 3>I was telling Daniel earlier. I've I've been listening to him.

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:19.840
<v Speaker 3>He's it can be a little unbearable, a little annoying.

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's the it's on. I can't.

0:34:24.840 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you noticed yesterday, but Draymond was

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 3>like he was doing his antics the entire game, and

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.680
<v Speaker 3>then he goes over to apologize and Reggie Miller is like, yeah,

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:34.279
<v Speaker 3>a real vet move by him, and.

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, acting like I can't, I can't. I

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 2>it is the combination of.

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I again.

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 2>People people tweet to me, they're like, why do you

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 2>dislike Reggie Miller. It's it, It's nothing personal. It's just

0:34:56.480 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I am. I love him basketball. He is the number

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 2>one color commentator on one of the top broadcasts. He

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>has been involved in a disproportionate amount of my favorite

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>sports moments, and I'm sorry to be a jerk. I

0:35:14.680 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 2>don't mean to. He's never made a single one of

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:21.520
<v Speaker 2>them better. And it's like you can be like, okay,

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:24.359
<v Speaker 2>it's just different styles, so be it.

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:25.320
<v Speaker 1>No problem.

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 2>You got to pronounce the player's names right, like it's

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 2>just a level, It's whatever. All right, let's keep moving.

0:35:33.760 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 2>We can do some follow ups here.

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So the last two minute report came out and

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 3>it said that Luca should have gotten a foul call

0:35:40.480 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 3>on him or not on him. McDaniel should have gotten

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 3>a foul call on him because he tripped Luca. Do

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 3>you think that this swinging the game more than JJ

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 3>deciding to play the starting fial.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, if they get that foul call that, you know,

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 2>assuming Luca makes both, which you don't know for sure,

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers are in, you know, up one with thirty

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.719
<v Speaker 2>five seconds left. I I am pretty consistent on this,

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:04.880
<v Speaker 2>complaining about officiatings for losers.

0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And be better.

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:11.960
<v Speaker 2>You're it's gonna you like to think eventually it'll even out.

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh, I'll be honest.

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I was more annoyed by the NBA breaking out the

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:24.800
<v Speaker 2>five thousand millimeters of pruder camera to find the foul

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 2>on Lebron than I was them not calling the.

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Trip like that was. That was frustrating.

0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I But I but where I'm consistent on that is

0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I just don't like replay in sports in general. I

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:41.720
<v Speaker 2>think it has made sports worse, but that's another argument

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:44.560
<v Speaker 2>for another day. The worst missed call the refs had

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 2>in that game was the kickball out of bounds on

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the sideline that would have been Laker's ball with fourteen

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:55.280
<v Speaker 2>on the clock. Instead they called shotluck violation. But whatever,

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>like be better. So I'm not gonna and I did not.

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I understand the last two minute reports said what it said.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think that was an egregious missed call. That

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>was borderline it. You know, Lucas stepped on his foot,

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:10.440
<v Speaker 2>he did stick his foot out. That was whatever be better,

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.319
<v Speaker 2>and Lebron's got to inbound that ball better. So, like

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I the I'm not going to blame refs.

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:16.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:20.440
<v Speaker 3>It's not my thing in the reviewing situation. Like I

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 3>think the time has to be cut down. That's one thing.

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Reggie Miller is one hundred per correct on that game yesterday.

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:28.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think there was like ten minutes of

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:31.320
<v Speaker 3>them reviewing a play in Golden Rockets.

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Listen, this is an rant for the off season. But

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.400
<v Speaker 2>if you can't figure it out within thirty seconds, the

0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 2>call on the floor.

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Stands stands, right, Yeah, and the only The.

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Only scenario where I am okay with them taking all

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the time they need is the Clippers Nugget scenario where

0:37:56.120 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 2>it's game over or not game over, because it that

0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 2>is to what nobody ever talks about when.

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It comes to these replays and reviews is fatigue and conditioning.

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Being a part of sports, and that it should benefit

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 2>the more better conditioned team, And so the long replays

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and reviews skews the fair outcome. With the one exception

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:26.279
<v Speaker 2>of something like Clippers Nuggets where it's literally the last

0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 2>play of the game like that, that to me is

0:38:28.680 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a different situation everything else. It was put in place

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 2>so you could get obvious mistakes, right not so oh

0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 2>we called this and out of bounds.

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:43.439
<v Speaker 1>But it turns out when we take the camera from

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the drone at the ceilings and zoom in and black

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and white, we see, like, give me a break, let's

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:56.479
<v Speaker 1>do the last follow up here about Aunt.

0:38:56.880 --> 0:38:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, so last year everybody thought aunt was taking

0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:02.239
<v Speaker 3>the big He had a lot of traction saying he's

0:39:02.239 --> 0:39:03.839
<v Speaker 3>gonna be the face of the league, but they kind

0:39:03.840 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 3>of died off after the Western Conference finals. So we

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:09.239
<v Speaker 3>think that it's a real deal. He's walking down some.

0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, Listen, what's definitely a real deal is he's been

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the best player in this series and that's a series

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 2>with Pete Luca it supposed to be and Lebron in

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs who will always just be great. And that's remarkable.

0:39:24.040 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 2>It's also real that he's twenty three years old. He's

0:39:26.880 --> 0:39:29.320
<v Speaker 2>knocked Kevin Durant and Devin Booker out of the playoffs.

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.400
<v Speaker 2>He's knocked Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray out of the playoffs.

0:39:32.640 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 2>He is a game away from knocking Luke and Lebron

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>out of the playoffs. And then he's gonna have a

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 2>chance to knock Steph out of the playoffs. Like that's

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the path. And now our resident Nuggets fan Daniel,

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 2>who is a really really sharp guy and a great producer,

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:01.759
<v Speaker 2>but has a blind spot for his team, rites in.

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Didn't Jokic, not Ant knock Ant, Durant and Lebron out? Yes, Daniel,

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's how he became known as.

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:15.600
<v Speaker 1>The best player in the league. Yes, yes, he did.

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's why we are now talking about if Aunt

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:22.839
<v Speaker 2>were to do something similar, what it would mean for him.

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I get it, you are correct, sir, and and so

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 2>it's like my Ba and Aunt. Listen, the what the

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:41.160
<v Speaker 2>conversation that is starting with Aunt and fair is fair?

0:40:41.880 --> 0:40:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:40:43.280 --> 0:40:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Is is he The conversation that's starting is is he

0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 2>better than Luca?

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And Perk flat out said he is. Listen.

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I would still rather have Luca, however, and I don't

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:59.720
<v Speaker 2>think it's I don't think we can be so prisoner

0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 2>of the moment d where Luca drastically outplays him and

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:09.120
<v Speaker 2>beats him in the conference finals a year ago.

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.400
<v Speaker 1>And that is totally that means nothing.

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 2>If the opposite then happens in the playoffs this year,

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 2>that just means they're.

0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>One to one.

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 2>However, this year Ant's game has jumped and Lucas didn't.

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:32.320
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Anti's a dominant two way.

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Player like he is.

0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's Luca dropping us tier for

0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:39.959
<v Speaker 2>the time being or Ant rising a tier.

0:41:40.080 --> 0:41:41.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit of both. But that is a

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:42.840
<v Speaker 1>fair discussion.

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 3>The mean, when you bake in the defense with Anthony Edwards,

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.760
<v Speaker 3>I think is probably I don't know where Kendrick Perkins

0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:53.120
<v Speaker 3>was talking about or where his points were, but yeah,

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 3>I think when you factor in the fact that Ant

0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.000
<v Speaker 3>plays actual defense and he can probably average the same

0:41:58.000 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 3>amount of points that Luca can.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's the thing is he hasn't shown he can

0:42:02.440 --> 0:42:04.839
<v Speaker 2>average the amount of points as Luca can, and he's

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.759
<v Speaker 2>never where been close to the passer Luca's been, so

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Lucas is he hasn't been in this series. But Luca

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 2>is the more well rounded.

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Better as series, right, all.

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, And so there's just but it is listen, the

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.920
<v Speaker 2>playoffs in the games and the results have to matter,

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 2>and so like that is that like he is making

0:42:32.200 --> 0:42:34.759
<v Speaker 2>a claim and we'll see how far he can push

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this thing.

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's move on to Dame.

0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:41.800
<v Speaker 3>So Dame unfortunately went down with a non contact injury

0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:45.240
<v Speaker 3>a few days ago. He tore his achilles in game four.

0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 3>You said that it was likely the last time we

0:42:48.680 --> 0:42:51.320
<v Speaker 3>see Dame play like Dame, and you also said this

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:53.479
<v Speaker 3>is probably the last time we see Giannis as a buck.

0:42:54.680 --> 0:43:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Your thoughts, Yeah, I I hate.

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 2>This so much for Damian Lillard, and you know he

0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:17.520
<v Speaker 2>he he came back faster from and it killed sorry

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:26.160
<v Speaker 2>from blood clots than anyone ever and that I don't

0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:29.400
<v Speaker 2>really understand how he did it. And obviously blood clots

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 2>are not related to a torn achilles However, him being

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 2>out and not being able to train and do their

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:39.959
<v Speaker 2>play for a month a month and then jumping into

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:44.840
<v Speaker 2>playoff basketball. Did that contribute I would have to imagine

0:43:44.880 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 2>it at least could have. And so you just feel

0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:52.480
<v Speaker 2>truly sick to your stomach that this guy did everything

0:43:52.600 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 2>he could to come back as early as possible and

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:03.560
<v Speaker 2>now and it was to get this playoff run. And

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:06.719
<v Speaker 2>now he didn't get this playoff run, and he's not

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:09.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna have next year's playoff run, and he might not

0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.680
<v Speaker 2>have any more playoff runs. So I mean that is

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:18.240
<v Speaker 2>a true cruel, cruel turn of events for a great

0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 2>dude and a great player. Yeah, I mean you just

0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 2>hate it. You hate every piece of it. And you

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 2>know he has I'm sure so.

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Many what ifs in his head.

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:35.440
<v Speaker 2>What if he had just stayed in Portland and just

0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>been the legend there forever. It's not like, you know,

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 2>well if I had done that, I wouldn't have gotten

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:44.040
<v Speaker 2>these great playoff runs that those never happened.

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:48.440
<v Speaker 3>So you, oh, you said that, Dame said, like, what

0:44:48.520 --> 0:44:51.400
<v Speaker 3>if I'd never left Portland? And you're saying, honest might.

0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, what I'm saying. I'm just talking about

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:56.799
<v Speaker 2>from Dame. I'll get to Giannis in a minute. What

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying for Dame is he's just thinking, like I'm

0:44:59.840 --> 0:45:02.960
<v Speaker 2>sure he has a lot of like, man, what have

0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I never left? I left Portland, which I didn't really

0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:09.319
<v Speaker 2>want to do because I wanted to compete for a championship.

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I won zero playoff series in Milwaukee. I would you

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:15.640
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Like that that didn't happen. I'm

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:18.600
<v Speaker 2>sure he's also thinking, what if they had just traded

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 2>me where I wanted to be traded to Miami and

0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 2>it was me and Jimmy Butler and bam.

0:45:25.200 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 1>You know what would that have looked like?

0:45:26.880 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 2>And so it's a cruel not final chapter, but close

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to a final chapter for Dame and then for Yannis.

0:45:37.000 --> 0:45:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I I don't see how Yannis can stay. And the

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Bucks are in such a weird spot because they don't

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:59.120
<v Speaker 2>control any of their own picks the next six years,

0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:04.120
<v Speaker 2>so they can't tank, They have no cap space to

0:46:04.200 --> 0:46:09.880
<v Speaker 2>improve the team, they don't have any young players that

0:46:09.960 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you're just super excited about, and so it's gonna be

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:22.719
<v Speaker 2>fake trade season with Giannis. And there's two demands that

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I made that are really interesting. One is to the Rockets,

0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:36.080
<v Speaker 2>where you get Hngoon Reed Shepherd, who is a top

0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:40.719
<v Speaker 2>five pick who doesn't play. Jack Landale. He doesn't play

0:46:40.719 --> 0:46:42.919
<v Speaker 2>because he doesn't defend, but he was top by picking

0:46:43.000 --> 0:46:47.160
<v Speaker 2>this year's draft, so he's valuable Jack Landale for salary filler.

0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:52.640
<v Speaker 2>And then four draft picks, two of which are super valuable,

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the Phoenix twenty seven and twenty nine first and the

0:46:56.719 --> 0:47:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Houston twenty eight and thirty first. That if you're Milwaukee,

0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:06.600
<v Speaker 2>because keep in mind, you can't tank, so Shingoon makes

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:09.919
<v Speaker 2>it so you don't tank. You have those picks to

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:13.560
<v Speaker 2>start getting the young players. That to me is a unique,

0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 2>an interesting one. And then the other one if you

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:21.880
<v Speaker 2>just want to go pure young you there is a

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:27.799
<v Speaker 2>trade with the Spurs where you offer them Giannis so

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Jannis and Wimber together, which is terrifying for the league,

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:37.759
<v Speaker 2>and they give up Barnes for the salary Kelden Johnson,

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Rookie of the Year Stefan Castle, and then a litany

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:47.120
<v Speaker 2>of picks, the Atlanta and first round pick in twenty

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:51.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven, the Chicago first round pick in twenty twenty seven,

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the Boston first round pick in twenty twenty eight, the

0:47:55.400 --> 0:47:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Dallas first round pick in twenty thirty, which could be

0:47:58.680 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 2>super valuable, and the Minnesota first round pick in twenty thirty,

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 2>which is okay, And I like, those are.

0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Real trades and.

0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm interested if they would they would be interested in

0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 2>any of those the are there any other fake trades

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you want to ask me about?

0:48:22.840 --> 0:48:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's what about okay? See, I mean they have picks,

0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:29.279
<v Speaker 3>and they can obviously trade good players. So you see

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:29.839
<v Speaker 3>that working out.

0:48:30.360 --> 0:48:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing for okay, se First of all, they

0:48:37.040 --> 0:48:40.040
<v Speaker 2>might win the title this year. If they do that,

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine.

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 3>That in this scenario, if they fell off, if they

0:48:45.400 --> 0:48:46.680
<v Speaker 3>came up short, if.

0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:50.120
<v Speaker 1>They Okay, so they came up short, do they?

0:48:51.640 --> 0:48:55.479
<v Speaker 2>So they're not trading shit, right, So I'm just trying

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:58.120
<v Speaker 2>to see how they could make the salaries work. I

0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:03.480
<v Speaker 2>guess they could because Hartenstein makes twenty eight million. I'm

0:49:03.520 --> 0:49:07.239
<v Speaker 2>just trying to put it together on the fly. If

0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 2>you traded them Hartenstein.

0:49:14.200 --> 0:49:19.879
<v Speaker 1>And Chet to go and.

0:49:21.360 --> 0:49:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me find one more guy that you would have

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 2>like would if you traded him Hartenstein, Chet and Isaiah.

0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Joe That that makes the salaries work.

0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:41.920
<v Speaker 2>And then they have the picks okac has Is in

0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty six, Houston's and the Clippers in twenty twenty

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:54.400
<v Speaker 2>seven their own, and Dallas in twenty twenty eight Denver

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Denver's pick, and then they have their own picks the

0:49:58.360 --> 0:50:02.720
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way, so they don't have have great picks.

0:50:04.080 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 2>We thought that Clippers pick would be unbelievable. Do they

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.720
<v Speaker 2>have swaps? I thought they had swaps with the Clippers

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and let me look that up real quick, future draft

0:50:17.360 --> 0:50:19.319
<v Speaker 2>picks Clippers.

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 1>So or no, I don't, so let me see.

0:50:24.400 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 2>They so outgoing draft picks for the I should have

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:38.240
<v Speaker 2>done the Thunder, but so I don't think that maybe

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:43.120
<v Speaker 2>those picks went elsewhere. Sorry, this is not good podcasting,

0:50:44.600 --> 0:50:46.240
<v Speaker 2>but I just incoming picks.

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 1>So they Yeah, they can swap.

0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:56.240
<v Speaker 2>With the Clippers in twenty twenty seven, they can swap

0:50:56.320 --> 0:50:58.120
<v Speaker 2>with Dallas in twenty twenty eight.

0:50:59.320 --> 0:51:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh, and I think.

0:51:02.560 --> 0:51:04.960
<v Speaker 2>That's where that the Paul George trade and all that

0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:08.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff ends. But Chat would be a real piece. Obviously,

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Hartenstein's a real piece. So yeah, I don't think the

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Thunder gonna make that move. Maybe I'm wrong. I think

0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Houston or San Antonio are the more likely outcomes there

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:25.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, we're gonna do this. I guess we're gonna

0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:27.640
<v Speaker 2>try to do some shadoor Thursday because we don't have

0:51:27.680 --> 0:51:32.480
<v Speaker 2>time for it here, because I do want to I

0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:34.600
<v Speaker 2>want to have some fun, and I also want to

0:51:34.600 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about the Saquon thing. So let's just skip ahead

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:41.440
<v Speaker 2>to the saque thing, because this is very simple and

0:51:43.640 --> 0:51:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I I don't know why people. I do know why

0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:52.279
<v Speaker 2>people are being disingenuous about this, but it's annoying, so

0:51:52.360 --> 0:51:53.680
<v Speaker 2>let me do so if people don't know.

0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, the Eagles were at the White House yesterday.

0:51:56.360 --> 0:52:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Sidebar that for a moment prior to that, sake was

0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:04.080
<v Speaker 2>chilling with the president and golfing with him. He then

0:52:04.160 --> 0:52:09.000
<v Speaker 2>tweeted the following, Okay, and we can lol. Some people

0:52:09.040 --> 0:52:12.239
<v Speaker 2>are really upset because I played golf and flew to

0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:15.920
<v Speaker 2>the White House with the all caps president. Maybe I

0:52:16.080 --> 0:52:19.520
<v Speaker 2>just respect the office. Not a hard concept to understand.

0:52:19.960 --> 0:52:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Just golfed with Obama not too long ago and look

0:52:22.920 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 2>forward to finishing my round with Trump.

0:52:24.960 --> 0:52:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Now you get out my.

0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Mentions with all this politics and have an amazing day

0:52:29.040 --> 0:52:32.200
<v Speaker 2>laughing emoji. Okay, I'm gonna give Saquon the benefit of

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the doubt. That he's smarter than that.

0:52:34.080 --> 0:52:38.239
<v Speaker 1>And this is if you have the intellectual capacity to

0:52:38.400 --> 0:52:42.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to this in a non partisan manner, I think

0:52:43.239 --> 0:52:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you will.

0:52:45.640 --> 0:52:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Agree with what I'm saying. The reason I said I

0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.040
<v Speaker 2>think I thought he was smarter than that is very simple.

0:52:55.680 --> 0:53:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Choosing to spend time with the world's most famous politician

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:08.799
<v Speaker 2>and then being like, why y'all talk in politics here

0:53:09.160 --> 0:53:09.880
<v Speaker 2>is stupid.

0:53:10.440 --> 0:53:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It's dumb behavior.

0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:19.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you were photographed hanging out with Bobby Flay

0:53:20.360 --> 0:53:24.279
<v Speaker 2>and then we're like, hey, why, people drop in recipes

0:53:24.320 --> 0:53:29.000
<v Speaker 2>in my mentions, like hey man, this is like this

0:53:29.080 --> 0:53:35.080
<v Speaker 2>is what it is, So like the whole where's this

0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:40.279
<v Speaker 2>coming from? Guy in the banana costume?

0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Who did this? Buddy?

0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:47.919
<v Speaker 2>You're golfing with the world's most famous politician. So there's

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:54.880
<v Speaker 2>that piece of it. Okay, it's not an unfair ask

0:53:55.440 --> 0:53:59.319
<v Speaker 2>or an unfair assumption, whatever it is. Now here is

0:53:59.360 --> 0:54:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the slightly more complicated but not actually complicated piece of this.

0:54:07.560 --> 0:54:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I do think that athletes get put in tricky spots

0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to we've won the championship, We've been

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:27.880
<v Speaker 2>invited to the White House, because they are then without

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:33.239
<v Speaker 2>opting into it, being forced to make what will for

0:54:33.400 --> 0:54:39.480
<v Speaker 2>many people be a political choice, just the again Obama

0:54:39.600 --> 0:54:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump president. I obviously do not view them the same,

0:54:43.560 --> 0:54:46.200
<v Speaker 2>but I understand the way I feel about one and

0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:48.920
<v Speaker 2>feel about the other. Some people listening feel the exact

0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:50.600
<v Speaker 2>same way, but in the one.

0:54:50.560 --> 0:54:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Hundred and eighty degrees. So just stick with me here

0:54:53.200 --> 0:54:57.680
<v Speaker 1>for a moment. Guys, when it comes to my team's

0:54:57.680 --> 0:55:00.120
<v Speaker 1>been invited to the White House.

0:55:02.120 --> 0:55:12.240
<v Speaker 2>And I disagree with everything the president represents, you're putting

0:55:12.239 --> 0:55:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a weird spot because if you show up, some people

0:55:17.000 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 2>will use that against you. And if you don't show up,

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:22.640
<v Speaker 2>as Jalen Hurts is learning right now, some people will

0:55:22.719 --> 0:55:23.520
<v Speaker 2>use that against you.

0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:24.960
<v Speaker 1>And you didn't ask to go.

0:55:26.200 --> 0:55:29.120
<v Speaker 2>You're like, I just practiced hard and got great at

0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the sport, my team won a championship, and now I'm

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm making I'm being forced to make a decision either way.

0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I empathize with guys in that spot, truly, okay, and

0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I am everyone's got to make their own decision. But

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I feel badly when folks who truly want nothing to

0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and I get let me, I'll back up even further.

0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I get folks that are saying, no, you have an

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 2>obligation in this moment to stand up for what you

0:56:02.080 --> 0:56:05.839
<v Speaker 2>believe in is Folks that think there's a crisis, all

0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of it. I get all that, and we can have

0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:12.759
<v Speaker 2>those discussions at a different time. It's not what I'm

0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:14.040
<v Speaker 2>trying to do right now. What I'm trying to do

0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 2>right now is make a very specific point, and the

0:56:17.000 --> 0:56:21.359
<v Speaker 2>specific point the only way to make it is if

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:28.840
<v Speaker 2>we just treat all presidencies equal. And I understand that's

0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:33.880
<v Speaker 2>not how people feel about any presidency. Okay, and I

0:56:34.320 --> 0:56:37.000
<v Speaker 2>feel particularly this one, but I know a lot of

0:56:37.000 --> 0:56:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys watching felt like the eight years under Obama

0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:42.880
<v Speaker 2>were damn tyranny.

0:56:43.000 --> 0:56:46.280
<v Speaker 1>So like, again, agree to disagree on that stuff. Stick

0:56:46.320 --> 0:56:46.600
<v Speaker 1>with me.

0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:52.440
<v Speaker 2>On an intellectual level, the White House visit stuff puts

0:56:52.440 --> 0:56:53.560
<v Speaker 2>guys in a tough spot.

0:56:53.760 --> 0:57:00.240
<v Speaker 1>They didn kN opped into. This was not that.

0:57:02.880 --> 0:57:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Choosing opting into in your personal time, striking up a

0:57:10.960 --> 0:57:16.880
<v Speaker 2>personal relationship with the sitting president of the United States.

0:57:19.280 --> 0:57:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Is a political decision, flatly.

0:57:25.440 --> 0:57:31.160
<v Speaker 2>And when you opt into that arena, folks are going

0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:41.960
<v Speaker 2>to assume that you either share some values or whatever

0:57:42.160 --> 0:57:46.440
<v Speaker 2>they think is the most objectionable thing about that politician,

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:50.439
<v Speaker 2>that you don't have the same issue with that they do,

0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:58.080
<v Speaker 2>which is objectively likely true. The folks that thought Obama

0:57:58.200 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 2>was the Antichrist cannot believe Saquon Barkley would golf with him.

0:58:04.160 --> 0:58:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Saquon Barkley, I assume knew that chose to do it anyway.

0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And the folks that believe the current president is a

0:58:17.040 --> 0:58:22.960
<v Speaker 2>dictator in waiting or wants to be and thinks that

0:58:24.000 --> 0:58:33.080
<v Speaker 2>anything other than hardcore disavowal is a endorsement, those folks

0:58:33.280 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 2>certainly would not golf with him. Saquan is saying, That's

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:45.120
<v Speaker 2>not how I feel. Obviously, as of this moment, we

0:58:45.240 --> 0:58:49.160
<v Speaker 2>still have free speech in this country, freedom of political expression.

0:58:49.320 --> 0:58:51.880
<v Speaker 2>He's allowed to think or feel whatever he wants. What

0:58:52.000 --> 0:58:56.160
<v Speaker 2>you can't do is then play the woe is me?

0:58:56.920 --> 0:58:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Why is everyone acting like this is a big deal?

0:59:00.520 --> 0:59:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Gotta be smarter than that, And Saquan's a smart guy,

0:59:05.360 --> 0:59:05.800
<v Speaker 2>and so.

0:59:08.720 --> 0:59:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I I was.

0:59:15.840 --> 0:59:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Disappointed at the where's this coming from? Why are you

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:29.920
<v Speaker 2>guys being ridiculous tweet?

0:59:30.680 --> 0:59:31.400
<v Speaker 1>When it was.

0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Totally fair, in my opinion, for folks to see anyone

0:59:40.560 --> 0:59:44.520
<v Speaker 2>that you are not part of your job, not being

0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:48.640
<v Speaker 2>made to do, not part of team building, that you

0:59:48.680 --> 0:59:52.520
<v Speaker 2>are opting to spend five hours of your personal time

0:59:52.600 --> 0:59:56.720
<v Speaker 2>with hobnobbing on the golf course. That folks might then

0:59:56.840 --> 1:00:02.959
<v Speaker 2>think you are endorsing that person to a degree, which

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:09.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously you are allowed to do. To act shocked by

1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that reaction, it's either naive, disingenuous, or dumb.

1:00:14.520 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know which one you want to be.

1:00:17.800 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Now to what people come here for? One hundred men

1:00:20.080 --> 1:00:25.400
<v Speaker 2>versus one gorilla demonse? Finally, snap judgment, because I don't

1:00:25.400 --> 1:00:26.600
<v Speaker 2>think this is a hard question.

1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:31.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it's one hundred men easily. But that's what

1:00:31.480 --> 1:00:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I've been telling. That's my take on I think I

1:00:34.320 --> 1:00:35.480
<v Speaker 3>think fifty.

1:00:36.120 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Probably demonse easily. Yeah's one hundred men.

1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing now, I thought van Lathan had the

1:00:45.880 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>funniest content on this, and I didn't even consume the content.

1:00:50.320 --> 1:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I just saw the tweet. But I'm gonna van Lathan

1:00:55.720 --> 1:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>had a whiteboard.

1:00:57.800 --> 1:01:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Have you seen this, demanse Uh, I've not seen it.

1:01:02.120 --> 1:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm texting it to you right now. I'm gonna text

1:01:05.160 --> 1:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>it to our group chat. I don't know if we

1:01:07.280 --> 1:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>can put it up there or not.

1:01:09.200 --> 1:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I should have told the producers before.

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>But he's holding a whiteboard, shout out Van Lathan, who

1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know but does good stuff.

1:01:17.040 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So there it is. He's holding a white It.

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Says one hundred versus gorilla, and then parenthetical wild average

1:01:26.400 --> 1:01:31.960
<v Speaker 2>size six feet, four hundred pounds, brolic all underlined. It

1:01:31.960 --> 1:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>then has a picture of the gorilla and it would

1:01:34.440 --> 1:01:43.120
<v Speaker 2>appear he has circled its weak spots, head, skull, brain, throat, neck, chest, heart, lungs, knees,

1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like it's got his fingers. So he

1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>has broken this down into five waves. Wave one meat

1:01:53.920 --> 1:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>sacks parenthetical Vince will forks three hundred poundersynthetical bloody mess.

1:02:02.680 --> 1:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Wave two runners parenthetical Noah Lyles's uh sidebar disorient him.

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Wave three light brutes for arm kicking. Wave four heavy

1:02:18.920 --> 1:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>brutes for sapping the energy parenthetical Aaron Donald. Wave five

1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>finishers vital striking throat neck parenthetical John Jones. Then at

1:02:31.560 --> 1:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>the bottom in a box, some will die.

1:02:35.160 --> 1:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>And so here's.

1:02:37.880 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>The deal, and this is and Van nailed it. And

1:02:42.280 --> 1:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>this is why this conversation is so ridiculous if it

1:02:48.120 --> 1:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>is understood, guys, the first and hit he had a

1:02:54.320 --> 1:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>real strategy. I don't even think you need a real

1:02:56.800 --> 1:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>strategy that would be the best way to.

1:02:59.400 --> 1:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Go about it.

1:03:00.520 --> 1:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>But if the if you have one hundred adult men

1:03:06.800 --> 1:03:12.479
<v Speaker 2>and everyone understands it's like the old World War One

1:03:12.640 --> 1:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>movies where deserters will be shot. You can only go

1:03:18.000 --> 1:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in one direction, and the guys at the front understand

1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably dying. This thing is not that difficult if

1:03:28.960 --> 1:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>the every like the it just the overwhelming numbers of

1:03:35.400 --> 1:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>it make it so clear to where if truly no

1:03:38.960 --> 1:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>one abandoned ship on this this can be done in

1:03:42.560 --> 1:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>relative quick order because of the overall weight and mass.

1:03:49.480 --> 1:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>The reason is such a unique and fun topic is

1:03:54.320 --> 1:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>while one hundred humans is obviously the right answer from

1:03:58.880 --> 1:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>any sinem emulation standpoint or any standpoint where you get

1:04:04.760 --> 1:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the fake theoretical world that no one abandoned ship, in reality,

1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>no one hundred humans versus one gorilla would end shortly

1:04:17.800 --> 1:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>like this. The first couple guys get an arm ripped off,

1:04:26.920 --> 1:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>three of your first wave feints, another couple wet themselves

1:04:33.120 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>or defecate on themselves. A few start trying to actually

1:04:38.960 --> 1:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>team up with the gorilla where you're like pushing him

1:04:42.200 --> 1:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>into them, and then you have mutiny, Mayheim disorientation, and

1:04:48.200 --> 1:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>what you end up with is like six or seven

1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>dead guys, some injuries, and guys faking their death and

1:04:56.840 --> 1:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>people scattered running everywhere. That's how it really goes.

1:05:01.520 --> 1:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But if you're.

1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Asking if you can guarantee everyone is locked in on

1:05:07.520 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the goal, you can take the gorilla out quickly and honestly.

1:05:13.840 --> 1:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>If you attack simultaneously minimal death. The problem is.

1:05:20.720 --> 1:05:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Who's going to be the guy that's like, all right,

1:05:24.120 --> 1:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>short straw, here, I guess not only am I dying,

1:05:28.640 --> 1:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>but I'm dying at the hands of a gorilla, and

1:05:33.360 --> 1:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>so that's the I. I don't think this is a debate.

1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I know I'm right, and that's how it would go. So,

1:05:48.760 --> 1:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>as the kids say, find you a podcast that can

1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>do both some very smart non political political commentary and

1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>then the only true breakdown using real world factors of

1:06:05.720 --> 1:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>one gorilla versus one hundred men.

1:06:09.840 --> 1:06:11.160
<v Speaker 3>This one.

1:06:12.160 --> 1:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't think I would like it either, However I

1:06:15.400 --> 1:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>found it so it was a fun thought exercise. I

1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>also loved when Dragonfly Jones and le Jethro Jenkins Great

1:06:26.320 --> 1:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Pod used to be on the volume.

1:06:29.400 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>When they did their beast Bracket. Did you ever see that?

1:06:33.720 --> 1:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>No?

1:06:36.120 --> 1:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>So let me let me try to pull it up real.

1:06:38.920 --> 1:06:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Quick, one hundred men versus a grizzly bear, though it's

1:06:43.840 --> 1:06:45.720
<v Speaker 3>just slightly more complicated.

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>More complicated because I don't know where the vulnerabilities are

1:06:50.600 --> 1:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>and because the grizzly bear has a lot more.

1:06:56.080 --> 1:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>One shot kills.

1:06:57.400 --> 1:07:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so like the the gorilla doesn't have a lot

1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of like I mean, obviously can.

1:07:06.000 --> 1:07:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Strength, and they don't really use their teeth.

1:07:07.880 --> 1:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Bears are right, but the polar bears got such a wingspan. Again,

1:07:13.320 --> 1:07:16.440
<v Speaker 2>if the polar bear knew what was up, that's the

1:07:16.440 --> 1:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>other piece of this. If the like, if the polar

1:07:19.640 --> 1:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>bear knows I got a hundred guys coming at me eventually,

1:07:24.560 --> 1:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and like he's trained for this, he can almost just

1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>do like a spinning fist with his claws and no

1:07:32.480 --> 1:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>one can ever touch him. That could be a thousand men,

1:07:35.440 --> 1:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't matter because he's so big and can just

1:07:38.760 --> 1:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>one shot.

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Kill you with the faws.

1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Gorilla's three sixty as well too. I don't know if

1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:46.440
<v Speaker 3>like they're actually more equipped to do it three sixty.

1:07:46.360 --> 1:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but they don't.

1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>But again, the three sixty ends usually with like a

1:07:53.280 --> 1:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>brutal punch in that hand, not all disembowelment and so

1:08:00.560 --> 1:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>uh okay. Paul just texted in the beast bracket was

1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the idea behind the beast bracket was all of these

1:08:08.080 --> 1:08:16.559
<v Speaker 2>things demons have. It's the same weight. So one bison

1:08:16.800 --> 1:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>versus ten kangaroos. Two tigers against five humans. That's two tigers,

1:08:23.040 --> 1:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, like the the final four got you down to.

1:08:26.880 --> 1:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>There's fifty Tasmanian devils against twenty five bobcats. Four lions

1:08:31.160 --> 1:08:35.519
<v Speaker 2>against fifty foxes and they seated them accordingly. Three silver

1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>back guerrillas against two hundred roosters, like these are the things.

1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>But I think the final four for this ended up

1:08:44.680 --> 1:08:48.400
<v Speaker 2>being two tigers against one polar bear.

1:08:49.560 --> 1:08:54.599
<v Speaker 3>Who you got two tigers against a polar bear. I'll

1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:56.960
<v Speaker 3>go with the I'll go with the polar bear me too.

1:08:57.840 --> 1:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Other side of the bracket, eight jaguars against four lions, well,

1:09:04.000 --> 1:09:08.639
<v Speaker 2>hold on Sweet sixteen matchup. Four lions against ten wolves.

1:09:09.000 --> 1:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know wolfs four lives, yeah, but I think

1:09:12.040 --> 1:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>eight jaguars, I'm not sure, all right. I think this

1:09:16.360 --> 1:09:20.640
<v Speaker 2>was the toughest one. Two Grizzlies against three Silverbacks.

1:09:21.439 --> 1:09:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm taking the Grizzlies. The coats on the Grizzlies are

1:09:24.920 --> 1:09:29.200
<v Speaker 3>just impenetrable and the yeah.

1:09:28.160 --> 1:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, by the way, the shout out Dragonfly Jones,

1:09:31.720 --> 1:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Jethrow Jenkins, great job, that's content from them.

<v Speaker 1>A year ago.

1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I was super into that. I really enjoyed that bracket thing. Yeah, no,

1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:41.880

1:12:09.840 --> 1:12:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Knicks take care of the Pistons. I think the Pacers

1:12:12.120 --> 1:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>take care of the Bucks. I think the Celtics take

1:12:14.760 --> 1:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>care of the Magic and Clippers Nuggets should be a

1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:20.479
