Speaker 2: it a classic here to end twenty twenty. Let's do
Speaker 2: this in style. We've got some good Wedgie news. A
Speaker 2: little bit later, we got tweeted the night, but let's
Speaker 2: start with a little Is this news? Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: throw some headlines at you guys, and we're gonna debate
Speaker 2: whether or not they're newsworthy. And the first one is
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown matches Larry Bird Lee, Remember that guy, streaky shooter.
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown matches Larry Bird with forty two points in
Speaker 2: twenty nine minutes. Trey get a started. Is this news?
Speaker 4: Oh? This is news if you're in the Jalen Brown
Speaker 4: fan club, and I am, because what a game from JB,
Speaker 4: bringing to mind another JB. I think Jalen Brown is
Speaker 4: the next Jimmy Butler and just seeing the way he
Speaker 4: has exploded out of the gate for the Celtics this season.
Speaker 4: If you're a Bean town boy like me, you gotta
Speaker 4: be loving at forty two last night and he just
Speaker 4: looks like he's completely seizing the opportunity with Kemba Walker out.
Speaker 4: You know, since he's came into the league, Jalen Brown
Speaker 4: has played with a high usage point guard. Basically his
Speaker 4: entire career. It was Isaiah Thomas, it was Kyrie Irving,
Speaker 4: it was Kemba Walker. But now there's a little bit
Speaker 4: more space for uh Jalen to get to work out there.
Speaker 4: He's skilled enough, he's strong, he's athletic, and just like Jimmy,
Speaker 4: he's got that desire to be great, to expand his game.
Speaker 4: Jimmy Maid an All Star team the first time his
Speaker 4: fourth season, age twenty five. Jalen Brown now year five.
Speaker 4: Already he's only twenty four, but they feel like they're
Speaker 4: on the same path. They just keep getting better and
Speaker 4: better and better. You see Jalen get into work in
Speaker 4: the mid range game, his playmakings coming along a little bit.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're exactly identical players, but the fact
Speaker 4: that they can they can dominate at the wing position
Speaker 4: using their athleticism and their strength, I think is just
Speaker 4: so huge. It's been so fun to watch Jalen Brown
Speaker 4: early this season. Kemba Walker is gonna come back, and
Speaker 4: it's going to be on him to figure out how
Speaker 4: to fit alongside Tatum and Brown because both of those
Speaker 4: guys deserve to have the ball all the time. Jalen
Speaker 4: has been incredible to start the season, he's better than
Speaker 4: Larry Bird. You set it right there, Skis. Yeah, put
Speaker 4: him in the Hall of Fame now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like through five games, I think it is. I
Speaker 2: saw at Brian t rob tweeting this twenty eight points
Speaker 2: per game for Jalen Brown, fifty six percent from the floor,
Speaker 2: forty four percent from three, and a very respectable six
Speaker 2: point two free throw attempts per game. So he's doing
Speaker 2: it everywhere. Ley, I thought last night against the Grizzlies,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Grizzlies missing a lot of guys
Speaker 2: with the Celtics took care of business. But he was
Speaker 2: stepping into like pull up threes in transition, like he
Speaker 2: did that like three or four times this scheme. He's special.
Speaker 2: And it brings me to the question for you, Lee,
Speaker 2: because we've been sort of throwing it around. Would you
Speaker 2: trade for James Harden If you're the Celtics, tass you
Speaker 2: talked about it now, you would say, yeah, let's try
Speaker 2: and tread Camber. But let's say the Rockets are like, sorry, man,
Speaker 2: we don't want Camber. We already have an injured point
Speaker 2: code in John Wall. We want Jalen Brown. Would you
Speaker 2: trade Jalen Brown and let's say Marcus Smart for James Horten.
Speaker 2: If you're Danny Angel and the Celtics Lee.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it right now. No, I think Jalen
Speaker 1: Brown is really starting to show the potential that he's
Speaker 1: shown over these last couple of years, and it's starting
Speaker 1: to come to fruition now because he's a two way player.
Speaker 1: He definitely could be in the running for an All
Speaker 1: Defensive nod this season. And the Celtics identity is to
Speaker 1: work on both ends of the floor and to give
Speaker 1: up Smart and Jalen Brown. That's two of their critical
Speaker 1: defensive pieces. And on the offensive end, Marcus Smart, he's
Speaker 1: a little bit hot and cold, but he does contribute.
Speaker 1: But what you're seeing I think here from Jalen Brown
Speaker 1: is that you know, All Star nomination absolutely is in
Speaker 1: play right now. He's most improved candidate as well. I mean, again,
Speaker 1: it's a very small ample size, but he's really showing
Speaker 1: all the hard work that he's put in because he
Speaker 1: hasn't been a super reliable or consistent shooter throughout his career.
Speaker 1: But it's starting to come together because he's realizing now
Speaker 1: how to get to his spots and how to find
Speaker 1: the right place to be and to shoot the ball.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: The only thing oddly about him is he's not a
Speaker 1: great free throw shooter. He's only shooting sixty seven percent
Speaker 1: this season, which is right at his career mark. You'd
Speaker 1: think that would sort of creep up a little bit
Speaker 1: over the years, but it hasn't. But anyway, that's a minor,
Speaker 1: minor tweak there for his game that he needs to improve.
Speaker 1: But I I just feel where the Celtics are that
Speaker 1: with Brown and Smart going forward. I mean, clearly James Harden,
Speaker 1: you know, a fantastic offensive player and would be you know,
Speaker 1: would he improve the team? I mean yes and no.
Speaker 1: I mean I think what he gives you offensively, they
Speaker 1: would certainly miss defensively, And that's really what the Celtics
Speaker 1: like to hang their hat on, is to be that
Speaker 1: rock solid defensive team. So I think right now, I
Speaker 1: don't think the Celtics would give up Jalen Brown. I
Speaker 1: think Marcus Smart. They would if it was to involve
Speaker 1: Kemball Walker, but I think Tatum and Brown are virtually
Speaker 1: untouchable for the Celtics at this moment. Things could always change,
Speaker 1: of course, but I don't think Danny Angebols is a trigger
Speaker 1: if it cost him one of those two young stars.
Speaker 5: If it costs him one of those two young stars, well,
Speaker 5: I definitely think James Harden would be high on the
Speaker 5: priority list. I know Jaylen Brown is playing out of
Speaker 5: his head right now and it would be hard to
Speaker 5: give him up, no doubt. Jaylen Brown talks an incredible
Speaker 5: game coming up to the postseason every time, and he
Speaker 5: just hasn't been able to do it in the postseason.
Speaker 5: I can't wait it's all this postseason because it seems
Speaker 5: like he is growing every single year. He is an
Speaker 5: absolute monster this year. And I liked how they played
Speaker 5: defense last night, how they just destroyed the Grizzlies in
Speaker 5: the first quarter. They absolutely were all up in Memphis
Speaker 5: and turn them over over and over and again. Twenty
Speaker 5: two turnovers for the Grizzlies. I think they had like
Speaker 5: eight steals in the first quarter. As Kelly Dwyer pointed out,
Speaker 5: that's Celtics basketball, So yeah, they needed that win. It's
Speaker 5: although Jaylen Brown has been really good, the Celtics haven't
Speaker 5: been overwhelmingly good to start this season. And they basically
Speaker 5: beat the Bucks on a bank three and then they
Speaker 5: came back and beat the Pacers and this was their
Speaker 5: their most emphatic win. And yeah, it's a bad Grizzly team,
Speaker 5: so they should do that and that's how they won
Speaker 5: this game. Yeah. I think as far as James Harden goes,
Speaker 5: the Celtics keep striking out on superstars every single season.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of talk about going to get a superstar.
Speaker 5: Would be hard to give up Jalen Brown, but I
Speaker 5: think there is there's a lot of desire on Danny
Speaker 5: Aingel's part to get something done. In my opinion, they're
Speaker 5: definitely looking at it. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, about the Celtics, sort of weird start your advice
Speaker 2: at the Athletic wrote I thought something that was spot on.
Speaker 2: Maybe it really touched home as a Raptors fan, because
Speaker 2: he wrote, the first week of the season has been
Speaker 2: all over the place for the Celtics, but at least
Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown have made them comfortable that the future
Speaker 2: is locked in place one percent true. And I bring
Speaker 2: that as a Raps fan because you can't say the
Speaker 2: same for the Raps right now with them struggling, not
Speaker 2: getting a victory. But they're sort of two guys that
Speaker 2: you look at potential building blocks or stars for them
Speaker 2: in Siakam and Van Vliet, well they haven't been all
Speaker 2: that great, right where Tatum and Brown are special special
Speaker 2: players and you say, yeah, go get the superstar. But
Speaker 2: the question is, well, is Brown a superstar? I mean,
Speaker 2: is he going to be like do we consider Jimmy
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler a superstar? I don't know. I think some
Speaker 2: people do, some people don't. But if I'm with you, Trey,
Speaker 2: if he's on that trajectory, it looks sort of like
Speaker 2: that you could lead that two way player. Well then
Speaker 2: are you possibly just giving up a superstar for another
Speaker 2: superstar who's older and Harden who's obviously limited maybe on
Speaker 2: one side of the floor a lot more than Jaylen
Speaker 2: Brown is Defensively, I don't know. I'm torn on this
Speaker 2: one because I'm here to interest here to your take, Trey,
Speaker 2: because you're obviously a huge Harden fan. You've made it
Speaker 2: clear you're in the gym the You've got me screwed up.
Speaker 2: Now now I'm gonna call it Jimmy Brown because you've
Speaker 2: made this comparison. You're in the Jalen Brown fan club.
Speaker 2: Would you make that deal if you're Danny agents Celtics.
Speaker 2: Let's say it's Brown and Smart and whatever else to
Speaker 2: make it happen for Harden, would.
Speaker 1: You do it?
Speaker 4: I can't believe it's Skeets. I think he found the
Speaker 4: first guy I wouldn't trade for James Harden. Wow, even
Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm saying it out loud right now.
Speaker 4: I just kind of feel like the Celtics they're not
Speaker 4: one piece away. They're not a James Harden away. If
Speaker 4: you take if you traded Jalen Brown and Marcus Smart,
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum and Marcus Smart, whatever it is, one of
Speaker 4: those two and another guy, that's a really really thin team.
Speaker 4: Because we're already talking about Javonte Green playing major minutes
Speaker 4: for the Celtics. He had a nice game a couple
Speaker 4: of nights ago against the Pacers. I was like, who
Speaker 4: is this guy, the number forty three playing for the
Speaker 4: Celtics Green? Is he just a made up player? There
Speaker 4: was no way I was going to look it up
Speaker 4: until after the game Javonte Green. But if you're asking
Speaker 4: for Javonte Green to suddenly become a starter, I think
Speaker 4: that's gonna be tough to me. Right now, Tatum and
Speaker 4: Brown will be I mean, they're already knocking on the
Speaker 4: door of superstardom right now. Tatum for sure, Jalen Brown
Speaker 4: is making his case right now. This is not the
Speaker 4: year that the Celtics are gonna win championship, even if
Speaker 4: they were to add James Harden, I don't think. But
Speaker 4: three years from now, if Tatum and Brown are your
Speaker 4: two best players, you're looking at the new Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 4: and Paul George, which we've all dunked on a lot
Speaker 4: of times after the three to one lead. But still,
Speaker 4: if you can have two star wings in today's NBA
Speaker 4: when there's not a lot of great wings out there,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to make a move
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you guys out there in the stream
Speaker 2: team and listening to the podcasts, Jalen Brown and Marcus
Speaker 2: Smart for James Harden, would you do it?
Speaker 5: No way?
Speaker 2: You know, obviously from the Celtics side of things, I
Speaker 2: think the Rockets would be ecstatic with that type of return.
Speaker 2: I mean it's similar to like, well, that's a whole
Speaker 2: other question. Would you rather have Ben Simmons or Jayalen
Speaker 2: Brown if you were the Houston Rockets. It's interesting as well,
Speaker 2: so to hear your take on that hypothetical. But he
Speaker 2: was amazing. He was so good last night, Jalen Brown,
Speaker 2: that Brian Scalabrini on the call just kept saying, geez,
Speaker 2: he drops like three g's in the game because he
Speaker 2: can't believe what he's doing. Again, especially those like pull
Speaker 2: up in transitions threes were like, whoa, okay, you added
Speaker 2: that to the game. That's that's dangerous, all right. Our
Speaker 2: next one here one headline Spurs Becky Hammond first woman
Speaker 2: to direct an NBA team. Yeah, she made history. Wednesday
Speaker 2: tasks first woman to act as head coach during an
Speaker 2: NBA regular season game. After Pop got tossed, she took over.
Speaker 2: She's an assistant coach of course with the Spurs. Took
Speaker 2: over in the spurs eventual loss to the Lakers seven.
Speaker 2: Is this news, Becky first woman to direct an NBA team?
Speaker 5: No, it's not news. Until somebody gives a woman a
Speaker 5: head coaching position where she is the leader of the team,
Speaker 5: this won't be news. A woman needs to be given
Speaker 5: that title and not just this title of directed an
Speaker 5: NBA team for a half while the head coach was
Speaker 5: given the acts. Somebody needs to give the proper due
Speaker 5: to somebody who obviously, in Becky Hammond's case, deserves it.
Speaker 5: The same headline happened during Summer League, where she was
Speaker 5: the Summer League head coach, first one to direct a
Speaker 5: Summer League head coach in July in Las Vegas in
Speaker 5: the blazing heat. Who cares. Somebody needs to give somebody
Speaker 5: this the title, and it's probably Becky Hammond along the way.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it's gonna happen in San Antonio. Uh,
Speaker 5: it's it sure seems like she is going to be
Speaker 5: the one. But we need more women making decisions in
Speaker 5: our lives, just like when the VP is heading the
Speaker 5: Senate very soon, hopefully there this This isn't a headline
Speaker 5: to me. I don't know if you guys are tired
Speaker 5: of reading this. Directed a team and was an assistant
Speaker 5: coach and kind of jumped over to the head coach
Speaker 5: a seat for three quarters. I think I'm tired of it.
Speaker 5: Somebody just needs to, uh to give the head coaching position.
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not into these directing headlines. When did when?
Speaker 5: When did anybody ever direct a team? Anyways? What does
Speaker 5: what does that mean? I mean somebody gives somebody, gives
Speaker 5: somebody the head coaching title. Is she a conductor for
Speaker 5: a half? Cool?
Speaker 4: Run?
Speaker 5: Run? Give her? Give her? Why? Why is it even
Speaker 5: a question here in twenty twenty that a woman have
Speaker 5: gotten ahead. We've seen it obviously in the WNBA, We've
Speaker 5: seen it in the actually in the Big Three, where
Speaker 5: men are being coached by women and are extremely happy
Speaker 5: with the job that they're doing. I mean, I don't
Speaker 5: I don't see this as a story at all.
Speaker 2: Well, I think what's interesting. Wasn't there a game in
Speaker 2: like twenty nineteen where Pop got ejected, right, Himon's on
Speaker 2: the staff. Of course at the time, She's been there
Speaker 2: for a long time, and so they all sort of
Speaker 2: took over. But then after the game, Pop said, well,
Speaker 2: assistant Tim Duncan was the head coach, like he was
Speaker 2: taking over responsibilities to finish out the game. Before games start,
Speaker 2: do like head coaches have to like put like a
Speaker 2: little ranking like, well, if I get tossed, then this
Speaker 2: person is in charge, and then if that person gets
Speaker 2: tost the next person in charge. Like that was always
Speaker 2: a little confusing to me because it was sort of
Speaker 2: like she was also coaching in that instance too. But
Speaker 2: you know this one is official because he pointed at her,
Speaker 2: as Becky said, which is really funny. And look, all
Speaker 2: the quotes coming out of this are phenomenal. Becky says,
Speaker 2: it is substantial. Actually, you know, it's obviously a step
Speaker 2: in in the right direction, a direction you're talking about
Speaker 2: test that's inevitably going to happen and should DeRozan was like,
Speaker 2: I loved his quote. He's like Becky played. She was
Speaker 2: damn good by the way, and any player who knows
Speaker 2: the history of women's basketball knows what she meant to
Speaker 2: the sport. You don't think twice about it. She's one
Speaker 2: of us when she speaks for all ears. Lebron was
Speaker 2: asked about it. She's been putting in the work and
Speaker 2: anytime you put in the work, you should get rewarded
Speaker 2: with opportunities. But yeah, it's this where this this is great.
Speaker 2: But let's she should have a head coaching job by now,
Speaker 2: and maybe she's waiting for in San Antonio Test. Maybe
Speaker 2: she is waiting for Pop two eventually move on and
Speaker 2: that will be her opportunity there unless another team comes calling.
Speaker 1: But what do you think, Lely, Yeah, I think because
Speaker 1: it doesn't actually count as a victory for her, well
Speaker 1: loss actually because I lost again, but it doesn't count
Speaker 1: on her record, is what I'm trying to say this.
Speaker 2: So wow, So it's not official official yet.
Speaker 1: No, it's not, it's not. I mean, it's great that
Speaker 1: she was given the top this time because Tim Duncan
Speaker 1: obviously is not there either anymore. He didn't come back
Speaker 1: this season. But so it's good that Pop did actually say,
Speaker 1: okay you are, you're filling in for me here. But
Speaker 1: it's still until we see Becky as a head coach
Speaker 1: getting a wins that register to her name. You know,
Speaker 1: this is more just sort of like, well, Pop, it
Speaker 1: only happened because Pop lost his mind for no real
Speaker 1: reason there, I mean he didn't. He certainly didn't need
Speaker 1: to get two technicals on that call, So it was
Speaker 1: more circumstance rather than like, we're designating Becky as the
Speaker 1: head coach tonight. Now, if he did that prior to
Speaker 1: a game, then that would be different, even though again
Speaker 1: the record would still count as Pops because you can't
Speaker 1: just say you know how it works in interim in
Speaker 1: the NBA, those those wins and losses don't count to
Speaker 1: a coach. They go to the other coach. So, but
Speaker 1: it would be good if he said before again one day,
Speaker 1: said tonight, she is the coach and I'm going to
Speaker 1: sit back and just watch her do everything. That would
Speaker 1: be different, even though again it still wouldn't count on
Speaker 1: her record and less popular.
Speaker 2: Weren't the Spurs doing that in the bubble? Or am
Speaker 2: I mistaken? Wasn't pop Like sort of allowing some of
Speaker 2: the assistant coaches to sort of take over the head
Speaker 2: coaching duties within those games?
Speaker 4: Honest I really remember to be That's definitely how Tim
Speaker 4: Duncan got his first win last year, right, was that
Speaker 4: pop had a personal reasons game that he missed and
Speaker 4: he said, Tim, you're taking over for this. It's all
Speaker 4: about that point with Popovich when he says you've got him,
Speaker 4: you got to take over. But yeah, you know, it
Speaker 4: was only a matter of time, honestly before Becky Hammond
Speaker 4: gets a job. So many Spurs assistants have gotten jobs
Speaker 4: throughout the league. There's not a great track record of
Speaker 4: success among Spurs assistants, but they all get jobs, which
Speaker 4: I think is huge. And now that we've seen Becky
Speaker 4: Hammon officially coach an NBA game, direct it whatever you
Speaker 4: want to call it. Tim Duncan was the acting head coach.
Speaker 4: The headlines are still out there, but now that we've
Speaker 4: seen it in the NBA, like Becky was saying, it
Speaker 4: is momentous. Even though I was trying not to think
Speaker 4: about and just try to win the game. Now that
Speaker 4: we've seen it in a regular season game, maybe that
Speaker 4: makes it easier for a team to say, Yeah, we're
Speaker 4: going to be the team that hires Becky Hammond. Somebody
Speaker 4: should and it'll be a huge story once it finally happens.
Speaker 2: Yep, for sure. All right. Next headline. Within that same game,
Speaker 2: Lebron extends a record streak of ten point games to
Speaker 2: one thousand.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Lebron celebrated his thirty sixth birthday by becoming the first
Speaker 2: player in NBA history to have one thousand street games
Speaker 2: without least ten points. Lee, this is a weird one.
Speaker 2: Is this news? Ten points? Lee? You could put up
Speaker 2: ten points.
Speaker 5: In his NBA?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is news. I mean, it's a credit to
Speaker 1: Lebron's longevity and his health and the fact that he
Speaker 1: kept his body ready for the last thirteen years. I'm
Speaker 1: sort of surprised when you go back through his record
Speaker 1: that it wasn't even a little bit longer, and he
Speaker 1: hadn't broken this record a little bit earlier, because I
Speaker 1: mean when he came into league, he's averaged twenty points
Speaker 1: in his rookie season. I mean, he seems to be
Speaker 1: able to score. Last season was the only season ever
Speaker 1: in his career that he hasn't led his team in scoring.
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis led the Lakers, which is incredible. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, this really is one of those things where
Speaker 1: you tip your hat to Lebron and just say, it's
Speaker 1: incredible that you've been able to stay healthy this entire time,
Speaker 1: because you know, that's really what often happens, is a
Speaker 1: player later in his career simply gets injured or misses games,
Speaker 1: or gets injured during a game, which happened to Kevin
Speaker 1: Durround that broke his streak. He got injured during a
Speaker 1: game and couldn't do it. So that's great for Lebron,
Speaker 1: you know. And it's another record that Michael Jordan doesn't have.
Speaker 1: It's one that Lebron has, and it's one that's probably
Speaker 1: unlikely to be beaten certainly anytime. So I don't know
Speaker 1: who really would be able to do it. But that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's incredible for Lebron. Now, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys saw it or not. Now, Also, I
Speaker 1: will say the NBA had an article up about it,
Speaker 1: and they did note that in two playoff games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did have two single digit games. So this is
Speaker 1: only a regular season.
Speaker 2: Brought up Yeah, twenty eleven and twenty fourteen with your heat. Yes,
Speaker 2: he did have single point games in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I mean, do you account those? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the same game. I don't know who can, but
Speaker 1: anyway you can. It's a game you can make stats
Speaker 1: do it and say whatever you want, really when you
Speaker 1: fudge them the right way. But anyway, I'm just wondering
Speaker 1: if you guys did know, you might have seen it,
Speaker 1: so you might get this quiz pretty quickly. But the
Speaker 1: sort of top five guys for most consecutive ten point
Speaker 1: games in NBA history?
Speaker 2: Can you name them in history or current players in history? Okay?
Speaker 1: History? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well mj second, isn't he?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, this according to the NBA dot com article, So
Speaker 1: Jordan was second with eight hundred and sixty six consecutive games,
Speaker 1: three alone, Kareem and Calm alone and then number five,
Speaker 1: is it tough like much? Now? I meant I mentioned
Speaker 1: him already.
Speaker 2: You mentioned him already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said his name.
Speaker 2: Oh, Kevin Around, Yeah, Kevin Durround.
Speaker 1: He got injured. So yeah, he had a streak of
Speaker 1: five hundred and sixty two, but he got injured in
Speaker 1: the first minute of a game a few years ago
Speaker 1: there with the with the Warriors, which ended his streak.
Speaker 1: So that that again was sort of the point I
Speaker 1: was making with Lebron, the fact that he never, you know,
Speaker 1: in some game, twisted an ankle early on, you know,
Speaker 1: or just even had.
Speaker 2: A tweet, Well, he does twist an ankle early on,
Speaker 2: and then it looks like he's going to be out
Speaker 2: for ten weeks the way he's selling it, and then
Speaker 2: like blazes his shoe up, Tater, and then he's good
Speaker 2: to go. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Tweet last night skieds about Lebron actually never leaves
Speaker 4: the game, but every time it happens to be like,
Speaker 4: oh man, Lebron's down, I don't know, this might be
Speaker 4: the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's never the one. Yeah, when he's coming back.
Speaker 2: I did ask that. I was like, I know it's happened,
Speaker 2: but I can't recall a game where Lebron got injured
Speaker 2: in the game and then didn't return that game to play,
Speaker 2: you know, outside of let's say a blow it or
Speaker 2: something like that. People did point out, well, Christmas twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: he heard his growing and he did leave that game
Speaker 2: and didn't return, and then he missed a couple games
Speaker 2: after that, but he had obviously hit his ten points
Speaker 2: by that. It didn't happen early enough in the game,
Speaker 2: that is. It is a pretty astonishing thing that the
Speaker 2: last time he failed to score ten points in a
Speaker 2: regular season game was January fifth, two thousand and seven. Task.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, I mean, most of his single
Speaker 2: digit scoring games so when he was a rookie, if
Speaker 2: you really look at it and you don't count those
Speaker 2: playoff games, it's pretty wild. Do you think it's newsworthy though?
Speaker 5: Sure, it's a heck of a streak, although all it
Speaker 5: does is make people remember the series against the Dallas
Speaker 5: Mavericks when he had that eight point game in the
Speaker 5: twenty eleven finals, Right, that's what it reminds me of. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's a nice NBA dot Com article. That's exactly where
Speaker 5: it fits, right. It's it gets aggregated it's like an
Speaker 5: automatic article. It's probably something like a Darryl Morey automatic tweet.
Speaker 5: It's just something that like automatically generates when he hits
Speaker 5: a thousand straight games. That's good. It's very good. It's
Speaker 5: very good. It is crazy that he's thirty six frickin
Speaker 5: years old. I can't decide if that's too old or
Speaker 5: too young. It's just he's been around forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a weird one.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but at the same time, it's like, you know,
Speaker 5: he's got like a you know, he's still on his
Speaker 5: prime at thirty six years old. He is trying to
Speaker 5: change the game in terms of when an NBA player's
Speaker 5: prime is. That makes sense. But it's also like he's
Speaker 5: forty and he's really old. I don't know, I can't
Speaker 5: tell he's exaccurate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very weird. I was telling the girls yesterday,
Speaker 4: it's Lebron's birthday. You know, all the greatest things have
Speaker 4: come from nineteen eighty four. Your dad included the only
Speaker 4: thing that's for eighty four, wonder One Woman eighty four apparently.
Speaker 4: But it blew Eyla's mind that I would be older
Speaker 4: than Lebron. But it also blows my mind that Lebron
Speaker 4: is the fifth oldest player in the league. Like that
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like it makes any sort of sense, right,
Speaker 4: that he's still out there able to dominate at his
Speaker 4: age the way he has still be the best player
Speaker 4: in the league. What I want to know is, where's
Speaker 4: the assist streak?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: You're such a good passer. Where's your assist streak? Or
Speaker 4: are you really a scorer at heart? Is that truly
Speaker 4: your skill.
Speaker 2: Be overrated as a passer? Now?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 5: Is there an assist streak?
Speaker 2: Though, that's a great question.
Speaker 4: He's got one out there somewhere.
Speaker 1: I think I think Magic Johnson has the double digit
Speaker 1: assist streak. But I mean Lebron won't get any winny
Speaker 1: of that. Always think, although, you know what, maybe because
Speaker 1: there's probably not that many, you know, like.
Speaker 2: It's got to be magic. How many games do you
Speaker 2: think Magic did it lee in a row?
Speaker 1: I mean probably like only fifty or something like that.
Speaker 2: I would say more. No, I mean that's tough, that's tough.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. You can look it
Speaker 2: up if you want.
Speaker 1: There, let's see if I can find it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, just news worthy enough. We say with the
Speaker 2: Lebron one maybe uh oh, here we go, here we go.
Speaker 2: He's helped that it was on his birthday. I think
Speaker 2: that helps the headliner tes. Yeah, I'll go ahead there, Lea.
Speaker 1: I believe it's John Stockton with thirty seven games in
Speaker 1: a row.
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Lebron shind set his eyes on this record.
Speaker 4: He's got to be thirty seven next year. What a
Speaker 4: perfect time to take it.
Speaker 2: There you go there, all right, next one, here got
Speaker 2: a photo to show you at this headline. Masked Kawhi
Speaker 2: Leonard dominates in return leads Clippers to the blowout win
Speaker 2: over the Blazers. There it is for everyone joining us
Speaker 2: on YouTube. We're watching on YouTube. Kawhi is a fascinating mask.
Speaker 2: This is awesome. He's obviously playing in this because he
Speaker 2: had the stitches in his mouth and his jaw is hurting.
Speaker 2: Trey is this news, the masked man Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 4: Oh Man skeets. This is huge news. We should all
Speaker 4: feel blessed to have seen an all timer NBA mask
Speaker 4: happen in real time, right like these things only come
Speaker 4: about once in a while, like the last notable mask
Speaker 4: sweep scene, or maybe like Lebron's carbon fiber mask. Maybe
Speaker 4: that time Mono Genobili had to wear a pad across
Speaker 4: his nose and it just kind of taped it to
Speaker 4: his face. But this was incredible. I don't think I've
Speaker 4: ever seen a nose out mask period, right, Like when
Speaker 4: you're buying a Halloween mask, a nose is kind of
Speaker 4: like the first thing you cover. I don't know why,
Speaker 4: but this was just killing me. It only works for
Speaker 4: Kawhi as well, because it's like, if there's one player
Speaker 4: in the league who doesn't need to move his lips
Speaker 4: very much, it's Kawhi. He might just go to this
Speaker 4: mask from now on. Even when he smiles. You remember
Speaker 4: that clip from when he was with the Raptors and
Speaker 4: he did that tiny, tiny, tiny little smile, wouldn't even
Speaker 4: show his teeth. This is perfect for Kawhi. Doesn't have
Speaker 4: to say a word, doesn't have to smile. He just
Speaker 4: has to go out there and get buckets like Ziggy
Speaker 4: star Fox says Hannibal Leonard.
Speaker 2: What a lost yes or clawise I also saw going around,
Speaker 2: but Hannibal Leonard is good. Yeah, it's a unique mask
Speaker 2: task because we uh, you know what we do usually
Speaker 2: see the covering of the nose right or around the
Speaker 2: eyes that's where the injury occurred. But with Leonard's case,
Speaker 2: they're like, no, we gotta we gotta take care of that,
Speaker 2: the lips and the jaws, and so we get this
Speaker 2: crazy sort of hockey like mask here. What do you
Speaker 2: think of this one?
Speaker 5: It's just it sucks me in. I just can't stop
Speaker 5: looking at him with the hole in his face. I
Speaker 5: think it's ingenious. Really. I think the biggest thing that
Speaker 5: NBA players have a problem with when they wear a
Speaker 5: mask is their nose and just breathing, and you always
Speaker 5: see them adjusting their mask like, oh, this is bugging me.
Speaker 5: At some point they toss it to the side. This one,
Speaker 5: I think it's perfect. I think, yeah, you can take
Speaker 5: a nice elbow to the nose right there. You don't
Speaker 5: want to be playing Karl Malone in this mask, but
Speaker 5: I think he'll be comfortable breathing in it. And either way,
Speaker 5: if he's a mouth breather or a nose breather, I
Speaker 5: think he's good.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 1: What do you think Ley, It looks like though we're
Speaker 1: going backwards with mask technology, because remember Kyrie and Lebron
Speaker 1: had the cool black moss and I looked awesome. This
Speaker 1: one looks like someone's just like got big like masking
Speaker 1: tape and just going like just just stick that plastic
Speaker 1: thing over his face. That will do well.
Speaker 2: Like CJ. Zero, I think tweeted like he basically is
Speaker 2: like Kawai made this himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it looks like he sort of
Speaker 1: hacked away at that middle part that usually does cover
Speaker 1: the nose. But yeah, it's weird. It just like when
Speaker 1: you think of Kawhi Leonard and someone said here you
Speaker 1: wearing this tonight. You could just imagine his reaction like
Speaker 1: what what is that? Give me one of the cool masks?
Speaker 2: Really just like okay, yeah, just slap it on it.
Speaker 1: Just it just it that looks like it has been
Speaker 1: slapped on. Literally, Yeah, it must be uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: It does look like a throwback. This looks like a
Speaker 4: mask you would see in the seventies when they're like
Speaker 4: just figuring out mask technology. In the second half, like
Speaker 4: the straps were all twisted on it, and it really
Speaker 4: looked like he's just like whatever, I'm gonna talk to
Speaker 4: anybody anymore, don't hit me in the face.
Speaker 2: He said his teammates were jokingly calling them leather face.
Speaker 2: It worked. By the way, he had sixteen points in
Speaker 2: the third quarter. You know, he was a bit of
Speaker 2: a terror in that quarter as they ran away from
Speaker 2: the Blazers. They got the victory. They helped keep Damian
Speaker 2: Lillard in check. He only went for twenty points on
Speaker 2: three or fourteen shooting, so they got the victory. He's got.
Speaker 2: The mask has got to stay. It's got to be
Speaker 2: like a Rip Hamilton thing here. Now I like it too.
Speaker 2: It's like because we always joked that he's like robotic
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, it sort of like takes that
Speaker 2: to the next level. I'm all in on Hannibal Leonard.
Speaker 4: If they let him make that mask rome, then he
Speaker 4: off like an android, Like let him loose, let him
Speaker 4: off the hook here. Make it like the NHL where
Speaker 4: if you're a goalie, if you have to wear a
Speaker 4: mask in a sport, you should be able to do
Speaker 4: whatever you want with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you brought up the black like carbon masks.
Speaker 2: Lee I did lead the league say like, you got
Speaker 2: to stop wearing those. I think because Coby had it
Speaker 2: once upon a time, a cool batman vibe, and they
Speaker 2: were like, no, the mask has to be clear, I
Speaker 2: think is they're ruling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so, because I think as well. Kyrie
Speaker 1: had an awesome nod in Madison Squa Godden where it
Speaker 1: was like, but that's cool, man, I know, and I
Speaker 1: will encourage people to wear them if they're going.
Speaker 6: To be a little bit safer, right, you know, bring
Speaker 6: it back, bring it back, man, I mean it just yeah,
Speaker 6: that one looks like that Calvin Murphy one, remember the
Speaker 6: big sort of helmet thing that that he wore back
Speaker 6: in the day. So yeah, I just think, I mean, what,
Speaker 6: what's what's the harm with having the black mask? I mean, like,
Speaker 6: why would they ban that? I wonder, Look, you're right,
Speaker 6: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: Looks so cool. It's kind of mask to do you
Speaker 2: think there's like a I don't know, not a band,
Speaker 2: but like a mask dress code for the coaches. Like
Speaker 2: the masks. The masks are very simple, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it, like sometimes they'll have a
Speaker 2: little team logo on it, like some of them, but
Speaker 2: not even a lot of them do Like have they
Speaker 2: been told like you can't go crazy with your mask,
Speaker 2: you can't have like the whidler on your mask and
Speaker 2: stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I think I think Popovich just had like the sort
Speaker 1: of surgeon mask. Yeah, but Steve Nash definitely had the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets one on yeah, and Rick Carlisle had I
Speaker 1: think was like an NBA one. I think he had
Speaker 1: some maybe.
Speaker 2: Like why does it like tips have like a personalized
Speaker 2: one that says ace on it.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, or a big smile, a big joke,
Speaker 1: a smile yeah, right, Like.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they haven't gonna create it, but maybe they're
Speaker 2: not allowed to.
Speaker 1: Who knows.
Speaker 2: All right, so we're all up on the mask. I'm
Speaker 2: sure most of you guys are as well. Final headline here,
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving gets hot in the fourth as the nets
Speaker 2: out score of the Hearts, not an overtime game. Leg
Speaker 2: that was the final score in regulation. Is this news?
Speaker 1: This is news?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: This was a good game. This was the game of
Speaker 1: the night. Actually really lived up to the hype, which
Speaker 1: was great because the Atlanta Hawks have been going in
Speaker 1: unbeaten and they were going up against the best defensive
Speaker 1: team in the NBA last night and put one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty one points on them pretty easily too. I thought,
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job. What they really
Speaker 1: what stood out to me, though, was just at the
Speaker 1: end of the game. The Hawks are just missing that
Speaker 1: ability to close out games. I think that's what it was.
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving struggled early on and then just got cooking
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter. The seventeen gorgeous points because every
Speaker 1: time he gets hot, he's so much fun to watch
Speaker 1: because he's just in his zone. Givin around. Had the
Speaker 1: quietest thirty three points I've ever seen last night. He
Speaker 1: just I looked at the boxer and I thought, I
Speaker 1: can't believe he finished with thirty three because everyone scored.
Speaker 1: Everyone seemed to go out there and get some buckets
Speaker 1: there last night. But what Ry really sort of stood
Speaker 1: out to me last night was Trey Young here in
Speaker 1: his third season. He's got little bits of Kyrie Irving
Speaker 1: in his game. He shook him a couple of times
Speaker 1: and went inside and scored the lap. He's got that
Speaker 1: variety to his game. But he's also got some James
Speaker 1: Hardens qualities of getting free throws.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yes.
Speaker 1: And that is something that's interesting because I think Trey
Speaker 1: Young to this point has flown under a lot of
Speaker 1: radars because the Hawks haven't been good. He's been good
Speaker 1: he made an All Star team, but seeing him last
Speaker 1: night when his team needed some buckets and he would
Speaker 1: do that sort of back into his defender.
Speaker 2: Oh that's the Chris Paul right there.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Chris Paul, the embellished.
Speaker 2: Yea there the stop go around again and then just stop.
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see if how the narrative
Speaker 1: changes there on Trey Young, because he's absolutely fishing for
Speaker 1: fouls and he gets them, and you know, he's at
Speaker 1: that stage where it's like he's not a big enough
Speaker 1: name just yet that everyone's talking about him. But if
Speaker 1: the Hawks do continue to keep winning and he keeps
Speaker 1: playing and putting up you know, thirties and tens, he's
Speaker 1: going to draw more attention. So I'm interested to see
Speaker 1: what the if people change on it, because right now
Speaker 1: I think people love seeing the highlights of Trey Young,
Speaker 1: the deep threes and he goes inside. He's got some
Speaker 1: nice finishes again like Kyrie Irving. But will he start
Speaker 1: annoying people's That's interesting. Great game, really good game, Really
Speaker 1: good to see the Hawks in their early season promise
Speaker 1: in a big stage really put it up there against
Speaker 1: the Nets. And I like Steve Nash after the game
Speaker 1: because he was asking. He said, we came into this
Speaker 1: game with the best defense that went out the window
Speaker 1: and it was a back and forth game. You know,
Speaker 1: the Nets closed it out, and Steve Nash just said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I need a beer after the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely need a beer. Said because there are
Speaker 2: a lot of offense task did the Hawks prove anything
Speaker 2: to you that they can sort of hang with some
Speaker 2: of the better teams in there in the East, at
Speaker 2: least in the Nets because they had beaten up on
Speaker 2: some sort of crappy teams, but you know, they were
Speaker 2: in this game.
Speaker 5: The Hawks have grown since last year, and Trey Young
Speaker 5: has grown since last year. I think it's easy to
Speaker 5: forget because Trey Young had such a phenomenal offensive year
Speaker 5: and that he went to the All Star Game, that
Speaker 5: the Hawks stunk on that end of the floor. They
Speaker 5: just kind of were waiting for Trey Young to do
Speaker 5: something on every possession. They had twenty sixth rank offense
Speaker 5: last year. And I think what Lloyd Pierce has done
Speaker 5: with that team early this season already, how everybody is
Speaker 5: buying in and by that I mean vets on the bench.
Speaker 5: They're big signing the big deal that they somehow probe
Speaker 5: bogged in Bogdanovic away from the Sacramento Kings Fingers was
Speaker 5: a big story. He's been on the bench, and Lloyd
Speaker 5: Pierce has decided, you're gonna come off the bench as
Speaker 5: our score. But we need a balanced lineup, very spurs esque.
Speaker 5: We might not start our best five guys, but we're
Speaker 5: gonna start Cam Reddish and DeAndre Hunter on the wings
Speaker 5: because we want a nice balance with our defense in
Speaker 5: the starting line up, and then the offense can come
Speaker 5: off the bench. And then Clint Capella, you're sort of
Speaker 5: our like Javail McGee superpower. You know, are are glorified
Speaker 5: JaVale McGee playing only twenty minutes a game, even though
Speaker 5: you know you were a big acquisition last year. And
Speaker 5: John Collins, you're not going to get the ball when
Speaker 5: Clint Capella is roaming in the in the lane, you're
Speaker 5: kind of going to be a tertiary guy. But then
Speaker 5: when he's off the floor, you're going to be our
Speaker 5: backup center. And then you got Gallinari coming off the bench,
Speaker 5: so there's there's a perfect balance. I'm shocked with how
Speaker 5: they know what they're doing on every possession. Unlike last year.
Speaker 5: It was just watched Trey Young go just just give
Speaker 5: him the ball, and there was a great possession at
Speaker 5: the end of the game that showed last year on
Speaker 5: a broken play they would just get the ball to
Speaker 5: Trey and watch him do something. But it was a
Speaker 5: broken play. DeAndre Hunter had the ball up top and
Speaker 5: it looked like Trey Young was going to come get
Speaker 5: the ball. But as soon as two guys went to
Speaker 5: Trey Young, he turned and went to the basket and
Speaker 5: had a little drop off pass that was a foul.
Speaker 5: Because he's improved. Because they all have their roles. And
Speaker 5: again John Collins led the team in shots last night,
Speaker 5: but he didn't force it at the beginning. When Clint
Speaker 5: Capella was on the floor, he took his spot. He
Speaker 5: picked his spots and scored thirty last night. I think
Speaker 5: everybody's just really falling into their role. To watch an
Speaker 5: eighty point quarter in the fourth quarters. Why Steve Nash
Speaker 5: needed that beer forty three to thirty seven for the nets.
Speaker 5: They got to do it again on Friday in Brooklyn.
Speaker 5: You know one weird thing of this current schedules that
Speaker 5: you got to do it back to back games in
Speaker 5: the same City, so they're going to be playing again,
Speaker 5: which is kind of strange. This is a little baseball esque,
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm buying the Hawks as a playoff team.
Speaker 5: If they're buying in already to knowing their roles and
Speaker 5: doing this, I'm very impressed with all these vets just
Speaker 5: kind of filling in. And you know, Rajon Rondo wants
Speaker 5: to get to the playoffs because he gets a seven
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty thousand bonus if they get there. So
Speaker 5: I think they're all all pushing in the same direction,
Speaker 5: which is great for a young team. It's shocking. Yeah,
Speaker 5: those three wins. Great teams, but yeah, they held their
Speaker 5: own with the Brooklyn Nets, and yeah it's the Nets
Speaker 5: probably win this game by twenty if Kevin Durant has
Speaker 5: a good game and he shot fifty percent and had
Speaker 5: thirty three points and that's sounds nuts. But he was
Speaker 5: just missing. He was clanking. So the Hawks d has
Speaker 5: to get better.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah it does.
Speaker 5: They're working. They're working.
Speaker 4: Why why that game was awesome and they all agreed
Speaker 4: we're not playing any defense. It was the second hottest
Speaker 4: thing I saw all night after episode five of Bridgerton,
Speaker 4: A steamy one.
Speaker 1: My friends. We also had.
Speaker 4: Vince Carter is incredible on the call. He could be
Speaker 4: Tony Romo of the NBA. I would say, you had
Speaker 4: to be listening to this on the Hawks broadcast obviously,
Speaker 4: but his how close he is to his playing career
Speaker 4: right he was playing last season, so he still obviously
Speaker 4: has relationships with these guys, and it's just cool to
Speaker 4: hear his insight being so recently in the NBA. There
Speaker 4: was that take that John Collins had late let that
Speaker 4: late lefty in the in the lane. He finishes with
Speaker 4: the tough left hand, and Vince Carter says, that makes
Speaker 4: me feel good. I taught John Collins that move. It
Speaker 4: makes me feel good that he's going to the left hand,
Speaker 4: trusting the left hand. I just thought he was great
Speaker 4: on the call. And this was just such a fun
Speaker 4: game to watch. When two teams that are actually good
Speaker 4: come in and say we're not playing any defense. We're
Speaker 4: gonna see who can score the most. That is my
Speaker 4: ideal kind of basketball game. It's different when it's like
Speaker 4: the Bulls versus the Wizards, nobody's playing defense because nobody
Speaker 4: can play defense. When it's more of a choice, it's
Speaker 4: fun to watch and those two teams are just bombing away.
Speaker 4: O'donovic was great, hitting shots with zero space. Kyrie and
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant there in the fourth quarter, You're like basically
Speaker 4: guaranteed to get thirty points from those guys in the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. That's gonna be tough to beat come playoff time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew the chances of the Hawks winning this
Speaker 2: game were not great when like Kyrie was like I
Speaker 2: don't know what he was at that point, like three
Speaker 2: or fifteen, like heading into the fourth and they were
Speaker 2: like in the game, and you're like, at some point
Speaker 2: he's gonna find his groove here and these are gonna
Speaker 2: start dropping. Yeah, he just absolutely took over. It's such
Speaker 2: for the Hawks too. Gallinari made his was that his debut?
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, no, it was the first, but he had
Speaker 2: missed a couple of games. He's back, but then he
Speaker 2: gets injured again, I mean and rolls the ankle. You
Speaker 2: could see he was visibly frustrated. He didn't return to
Speaker 2: this one, So that sucked. That was a bit of
Speaker 2: a bummer. I felt bad for him, and I will
Speaker 2: say this too, You're right, Tray was fun. There's no defense.
Speaker 2: But fourth quarter when Kyrie starts cooking. It would have
Speaker 2: been a nice opportunity if he was available for Lloyd
Speaker 2: Pierce to be like, hey, Chris Nunn, have a go
Speaker 2: at trying to slow him down. That's what you're known for.
Speaker 2: Not known for much else, but you are a great
Speaker 2: defensive player, especially on the perimeter. Slow him down, man,
Speaker 2: make make life a little more difficult. Now he's not
Speaker 2: playing it for the Hawks. That's how deep the Hawks are.
Speaker 2: We're talking about guys that weren't even playing, but they
Speaker 2: could have.
Speaker 4: That's what Katie said after the game too, right, He's like,
Speaker 4: there's seven or eight starters on that team. Yeah, And
Speaker 4: I look at him and they definitely are. And like
Speaker 4: Tasa is saying, you know, we're a week and a
Speaker 4: half into the season. They are all bought in right now.
Speaker 4: We'll see how it turns out throughout the season. If
Speaker 4: you know, some some guys start playing well and some
Speaker 4: going and blah blah blah, get me some time here
Speaker 4: and there. But they're all on the same page right
Speaker 4: now and it's working.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It definitely helps when there's w is there even if
Speaker 2: you only played twenty minutes. Let's say, if you're a
Speaker 2: capella but you get the w I know, not last night,
Speaker 2: but up until that point that helps. But absolutely great point.
Speaker 2: What happens when the losses start coming and then you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I could have helped us win that game. Why am
Speaker 2: I only getting X amount of minutes? That'll be the
Speaker 2: real coaching challenge from Bloyd Pierce, but so far he's
Speaker 2: knocked it out of the park. I have to say.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and that was a bit of a moral victory. Honestly,
Speaker 2: it was for Hawks because they're right there against one
Speaker 2: of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, maybe in
Speaker 2: the league, and they were hanging they were like I
Speaker 2: don't know if they did have like a gentleman handshake
Speaker 2: before saying we're not playing, but they were right there
Speaker 2: and that was Go watch the highlights. A lot of
Speaker 2: fun that game.
Speaker 5: And watch the Hawks broadcast. I can't agree more. Vince
Speaker 5: Carter absolutely phenomenal. A great debut Tom on the broadcast,
Speaker 5: like like he's in on Bridgerton. I got to go
Speaker 5: watch Bridgerton. But Dominique will Against has been there forever
Speaker 5: as the color commentator, and then you get a younger
Speaker 5: guy like Vince Carter, it pushes you a little bit.
Speaker 5: I think I think it pushed with that yep to
Speaker 5: pick up his game a little bit. And they were,
Speaker 5: they were sparring back and forth. They were great. I
Speaker 5: think they're really good. And Bob Rathbund was also great.
Speaker 5: Vince Carter, you know, was basically like every every guy
Speaker 5: on every team was one of is one of his
Speaker 5: former teammates. So Jeff Green is on the Nets, he goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: my former teammate. And Bob Rathbund and say, hey, Vince,
Speaker 5: we don't have time for that. I mean, we'd be
Speaker 5: here all night if you talk about every one of
Speaker 5: your teammates. But yeah, him and him and Nick were
Speaker 5: we're going back and forth. The only thing about Vince
Speaker 5: like when John Collins had that nice, beautiful euro step
Speaker 5: at the end going left, fantastic stuff, and he said, yeah,
Speaker 5: that makes me so happy, And then you start talking
Speaker 5: about it for like three possessions. We got to get
Speaker 5: to the next get the next player quick, let's start.
Speaker 1: Just we've just spent the last few years talking about
Speaker 1: how old Vince is and now tested saying young voice
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, which is great. But I actually was
Speaker 1: watching the Nets broadcast, which is always great with especially
Speaker 1: when Jared Allen throws down a dunk and mov mo
Speaker 1: and hego says, I throw down right.
Speaker 2: Right right, they're they're one of the best, and like
Speaker 2: Bob and Nique, not my favorite deal in the league.
Speaker 2: So I was one hundred percent on board. Adding that
Speaker 2: that youthful Vince Carter to the broadcast, it did help.
Speaker 2: It made for a more enjoyable watch.
Speaker 4: You. It is pretty funny that guy has played with
Speaker 4: like every single player in the get him on some
Speaker 4: national games.
Speaker 2: I think they said he holds the record, right, is
Speaker 2: it like six hundred plus teammates.
Speaker 5: He's yeah, they said that, and I'm not sure if
Speaker 5: they were joking, but yeah, probably right.
Speaker 2: But he's played on a ton of teams.
Speaker 5: He's had a lots literally played the most years the
Speaker 5: history of the NBA, and he played with two teams two.
Speaker 1: Hundred and sixty one teammates according to Oh, that's it.
Speaker 2: I got's a ton, But yeah, they were joking with
Speaker 2: the six hundred I guess all right, is it a
Speaker 2: record though league?
Speaker 1: Apparently, yeah, he holds the record. Two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six is next, and then two hundred and thirty. So
Speaker 1: you want any quick trivia or not really shack shut yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: let's do the top five. I'll tell you this. The
Speaker 1: top five. One of the players is still playing. One
Speaker 1: of them is sort of not officially retired, but he
Speaker 1: was playing in the bubble.
Speaker 4: Hmmm, sort of not retired before.
Speaker 1: Well, he played in the bubble. He was down in
Speaker 1: the bubble, but he didn't No, no, but a Haslam
Speaker 1: type guy, Kevin wellis on there. This guy, this guy
Speaker 1: is a super high draft pick Chicago bull from my
Speaker 1: early part of his tyson Chandler's number three. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Number two is a guy who you probably associate with
Speaker 1: the Washington Bullets. I think he had the first one
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract. Yeah. Number four is the guy
Speaker 1: who's still playing, and he's he gets traded every year
Speaker 1: two or three times. No, no, no, he's still playing.
Speaker 1: He's where is he right now? He's Detroit? I think? No,
Speaker 1: is he Detroit or now? No, No, he got traded.
Speaker 1: He got traded I think three times in the in
Speaker 1: the summer, in the off season. Trevor.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: While, and he has one more teammate than the guy
Speaker 1: at number five, who very we had him in the
Speaker 1: start of studio, but never on the show. Very fashionable.
Speaker 1: Sorry okay, yeah, Kevin Willis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, there we go and make sure you
Speaker 2: gave credit.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: That was hoopspe hoop type. That's where it came from.
Speaker 2: Yeahsape duckham. I don't know if it's a duck come
Speaker 2: all right. So that's a little is this news, but
Speaker 2: maybe the biggest news of the night tasks. We got
Speaker 2: our first wedgie, my man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty have been a pop year, but at least
Speaker 7: we're ending it in style, as Mark Followell, Derek Harper
Speaker 7: and Jeff skin Wade noted on the.
Speaker 5: Car, great crass owl inside. Oh it's a weggie.
Speaker 2: There's also a foul.
Speaker 8: Though you only get to say that a couple of times.
Speaker 7: It's the first ever foul weggie.
Speaker 1: That might be the first ever foul you like a
Speaker 1: little kid get.
Speaker 5: I've never seen that before.
Speaker 6: I don't think I have either follow the foul wedgie
Speaker 6: right time for everything.
Speaker 5: So if there were no fowl, then of course, as
Speaker 5: you know, that's a jump ball in the center cord it.
Speaker 5: But a foul means two pre toes for Powell.
Speaker 1: Never see anybody gets so excited about.
Speaker 2: A way I get excited about weird things.
Speaker 1: That's fun.
Speaker 5: It's a fun thing to get excited about. Follow them,
Speaker 5: Mark follow. We really went for it. He said, that's
Speaker 5: the first ever foul edgie. Well, Jeff skin Wade pulling
Speaker 5: a real no dunks really hedging by saying, I'm not
Speaker 5: sure if that's the first ever foul. That seems like
Speaker 5: the first. I've never seen one of those either. I
Speaker 5: don't think that's the first foul edgie. I'm not gonna
Speaker 5: go back and check, but I'm pretty sure we've had
Speaker 5: a foul weggie before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, once or once or twice, it definitely has happened.
Speaker 2: That one was fairly unique. I mean, it's a hell
Speaker 2: of a foul. He gets all hand and then the wedges.
Speaker 2: It's rare. It's definitely rare. We don't have a lot
Speaker 2: of those.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like it though, because they showed like
Speaker 4: one hundred replays of the leggy. When it's a foul,
Speaker 4: you got a little bit of time to show stuff
Speaker 4: off before they get to the you know, if it's
Speaker 4: a regular one, they're getting to the jump ball pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: Let's get back to playing, but you're getting some subs
Speaker 4: during a.
Speaker 2: File yeah, take your time.
Speaker 4: You talk about letting it breathe.
Speaker 2: They did, Yeah, they did.
Speaker 4: They.
Speaker 2: I love we got to make Harper when he's sort
Speaker 2: of mocking Mark going, it's a Leggie that's going to
Speaker 2: be a drop. I love how he's he's like joking around,
Speaker 2: but good stuff. I'm glad it was the MAVs broadcast
Speaker 2: getting the first one here to get it started, and
Speaker 2: I saw people asking, look, we got the shortened season tasks,
Speaker 2: you know, seventy two game season. Our goal is usually fifty,
Speaker 2: but are we changing the goal? Like have we knocked
Speaker 2: it down or we go like forty four forty five?
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 5: Seem like the predictions in the preseason were that we're
Speaker 5: going to get to fifties.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah they were, but maybe we should change.
Speaker 5: That after a week here after starting Weggie, Yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 5: we go forty. I mean I guess forty that's uh,
Speaker 5: that's a good chunk of games.
Speaker 2: Ten Yeah, Schumann, I asked Schuman.
Speaker 5: Until one hundred and fifty one hundred and fifty less games, right,
Speaker 5: So that's ten hundred and eighty games versus twelve hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty games.
Speaker 2: Schuman said, Schumann had it at forty four forty five
Speaker 2: because the playoffs are the same you know length that
Speaker 2: he thought that would be maybe. I think forty five
Speaker 2: is perfect if you ask me. But sure, who cares.
Speaker 2: We'll get to fifty anyway. Nice to have our first
Speaker 2: one and they come in buy usually, so yeah, well
Speaker 2: we'll hopefully get one. I mean we'll get one tonight
Speaker 2: to really end out twenty twenty in style. We can
Speaker 2: only hope. But a great call from Mark. And by
Speaker 2: the way, shout out to everybody that lets us know
Speaker 2: when they see a weggie. You can't watch all games.
Speaker 2: I actually didn't watch any of the Mavericks Hornets games
Speaker 2: until I caught the highlights this morning. But when you
Speaker 2: let us know on Twitter or Instagram, try and tell
Speaker 2: us like when it happened in the game, because at
Speaker 2: first there was a bunch of like Weggie, Weggie, Leggie,
Speaker 2: like in Maverick's Hornets. But I'm like, okay, hold on,
Speaker 2: I didn't see it until like ten minutes later. I
Speaker 2: wasn't on and then I'm like, okay, now where is
Speaker 2: this and I'm trying to find it. So if you
Speaker 2: can let us know when it happens in the game,
Speaker 2: that really helps. And the other thing is to ask
Speaker 2: people said, well, hold on, that wasn't a shot attempt
Speaker 2: because it was.
Speaker 1: A foul, But it is because he went to the line.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, it's not a field goal attempt.
Speaker 1: H but but it's it's it's in the play.
Speaker 2: No, I agree that that is definitely recounting. I tried
Speaker 2: to make it clear to some people, like, we don't
Speaker 2: count ones where like there's a whistle on the floor
Speaker 2: and then somebody chucks it up. Yeah, like a second
Speaker 2: or two later and then it, you know, wedges, we
Speaker 2: don't count those. It's got to be sort of in play,
Speaker 2: which that one.
Speaker 1: Is for sure.
Speaker 5: Okay. Yeah, It's like when coaches review a challenge or
Speaker 5: review of play, it's like, is it part of the play,
Speaker 5: then yeah, it's a wedgie, right. You know, we don't
Speaker 5: want to go all JD saying hey, it's wonder Woman
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty four. The song came out in October. It's
Speaker 5: not chronologically possible that, you know, we don't want to
Speaker 5: get all crazy here. Yeah, it's part of the play.
Speaker 5: It's part of the play.
Speaker 2: It counts. We got one, we got well, either forty
Speaker 2: four or forty nine to go, it's your call. Really Okay, Wait,
Speaker 2: let's get to tweet.
Speaker 1: Of the night.
Speaker 5: Tweet over night.
Speaker 2: Wowwitt a lot of pressure here, Lee, Yes, final tweet
Speaker 2: of the night of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Yes, there, it is a lot of pressure. But I
Speaker 1: think I've got a good one which really sums up
Speaker 1: what twenty twenty has been for everyone. And it comes
Speaker 1: from Australia's greatest basketballer, Lauren Jackson out in Australia.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So McDonald's Australia must have been operating a code
Speaker 1: offering your code for a free coffee and this is
Speaker 1: the one that she got here and she says, thanks
Speaker 1: for the coupon code for my end of year free coffee.
Speaker 1: I thought it was appropriate to share considering.
Speaker 2: The year was just pick.
Speaker 1: And I thought, yep, that sums up for everybody. Really.
Speaker 1: Everyone wants just to get twenty twenty over.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We've already done with it in Australia, they've already moved
Speaker 1: on to twenty twenty one and we were a few
Speaker 1: hours behind. So yeah, very happy that Lauren Jackson. She's
Speaker 1: been nominated too for the Hall of Fame this year
Speaker 1: and I think she will get in. She has got
Speaker 1: quite the resume. I'm just going to quickly run through
Speaker 1: it here. Eight time All WNBA team on a seven
Speaker 1: time first All NBA team there, five time All Defense,
Speaker 1: three MVPs, two Championships, Defensive Player of the Year Finals MVP.

Speaker 4: their country. And number two shout out to McDonald's for
Speaker 4: also not really loving you two because I say FKU

Speaker 1: so when it was just automatically on your phone.
Speaker 2: Yes, on your Yeah, I guess it was your Was
Speaker 2: it your iPod?
Speaker 8: It was definitely on iPod. Yeah, I don't know. I

Speaker 1: five songs, and I'm in there at like number that's me.
Speaker 2: Right there, so number four, yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not like ranked like that. That's just
Speaker 1: that's where you go.
Speaker 2: So like, are these celebrities or just random people?
Speaker 1: No, random just fans, just fans just telling the stories
Speaker 1: and yeah, so myke, well i'll tell you, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you a by the five that I put on it,
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to just put I did want
Speaker 1: to put the top five songs that anyone's heard, you know, like,
Speaker 1: so I went my five. I went with Numb from
Speaker 1: the Zuopa album at number five because it's the edge,
Speaker 1: it's the edge the lyricist and the vocalist on that one.
Speaker 1: Great video by the way, really good video. What did
Speaker 1: I have at number four? I had number four? I
Speaker 1: had the Fly from Aktung Baby, just an incredible song.
Speaker 1: Bono even had the big fly glasses in that look great.
Speaker 1: That was there. That was a big album coming after
Speaker 1: Rattle and Hum, because that came after the Joshua Tree,
Speaker 1: which was their biggest album.
Speaker 2: When you start doing things like this turned into rain Man,
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 4: See why they put you at number four.
Speaker 1: And then I had a song from the All that
Speaker 1: you Can't Leave Behind albums called it in a Little
Speaker 1: While Now. The reason why that one is symbolic is
Speaker 1: because Bono wrote that for his wife Ali, but also
Speaker 1: Roxanner and I when we first started dating. That was
Speaker 1: one that we used to slow dance do. We even
Speaker 1: had that at our wedding as our as one of
Speaker 1: our first sort of dance songs. It was a beautiful song.
Speaker 4: Is that why you've been slicking your hair back? More
Speaker 4: to the next episode.
Speaker 1: Was and then and then at number four, I had
Speaker 1: walk On, which was the actual one after the This
Speaker 1: was the live studio album one after the nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: Remember they did that big fundraiser. All these bands did
Speaker 1: the big fundraiser and they did walk On, beautiful, beautiful
Speaker 1: version of it. So I put that one in there
Speaker 1: at number four, and then at number one or number five, which.
Speaker 5: Ranked them five, four, three two on sir, can you
Speaker 5: rank them one, two three? Just take them, would you?
Speaker 1: And then Running to stand Still from the Joshua Tree
Speaker 1: album was number one. Now the funny thing is the
Speaker 1: Running to stand Still was the first You Two song
Speaker 1: I remember hearing right off the Joshua Tree album. So
Speaker 1: I heard that and I thought that's a cool song.
Speaker 1: So imagine then what you thought of the band after
Speaker 1: you hear that and then you hear the rest of
Speaker 1: the Joshua Tree album, like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: the greatest band of all time. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: the Joshua Tree was the first album I ever actually
Speaker 1: bought with my own money.
Speaker 2: So where did you hear the song first? On the
Speaker 2: radio and like my brother.
Speaker 1: My brother was playing it, I think, and I just
Speaker 1: remember just thinking that's a good song. And then he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: well listen, listen to these other ones from this album,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh ah, this is a great album.
Speaker 1: Some say the Joshua Tree is like the greatest album
Speaker 1: of all time. Some say that some seeing your brother
Speaker 1: Nick is the greatest el. So yeah, they've had some bangers.
Speaker 1: I mean, Acton Baby is an incredible album. All that
Speaker 1: you Can't Leave Behind is an incredible album. How to
Speaker 1: Dismantle In the Tomic Bomb album, Radlingham's good Boy is good.
Speaker 5: I think just let him talk guys.
