00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: embracing the day today, and this shirt is also embracing

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: my pit sweat. Oh really, I mean, you know, once

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the lights turn on, it gets a little warmer in here.

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: The stream team's chiming in on stuff. Get your nerves up.

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 3: Well, if this is the coldest day of the year

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: in Atlanta today, at least this morning, I mean, you

32
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: know what I mean of this season, This is the coldest.

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: So it's ironic that you're sweating, But I do sweat

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: when I'm cold.

35
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: It's your body. Your body is just uh, your muscles

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: are tense and ups so hard to stay warm that

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: they're overworking themselves.

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: I guess, so, I guess so. So here's what I

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: would suggest. Buy a couple shirts when you're at no

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: dunks dot com, and then you can rotate them in

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: as you sweat through the day. Like you have about

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: four or five of those, right, yes, undershirt.

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like to keep four to five of every

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: shirt I have, so it looks like I'm wearing the

45
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: same thing all day. But it's just different. Variations. How

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: sweaty they are? Yeah, good stuff.

47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: On today's podcast The Drop, We're going to look at

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: some one week in surprises, disappointments, our favorite highlights. We

49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: will make some in season tournament predictions. That starts today,

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: Happy NBA In Season Tournament Day down with Oh you

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: know me? And you know we got tweet of the

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: night and some rapid firefund. Jad's got the questions this

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: week on the Drop, but we've got to start with

54
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: at least a few of last night's games. You know

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: where I'm going. Victor Wemanyama. He outduels Kadie and Booker

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: in his return and drops T eight in the Spurs victory.

57
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: Taken over down the stretch Man. Wemby Mania is live

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: and well.

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Maybe someday we won't talk about everything Victor webbin Yama does,

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: but it feels awesome to talk about everything he's doing

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: so far. Obviously the best game he's had thus far.

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: It is NBA career and to me, what's stuck out

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: is that the Spurs are just getting a lot smarter

64
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: about how they're using him. He took ten dunks or

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: layups last night, and basically what would happen is anytime

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Phoenix would switch a small onto him. Just run to

67
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: the rim. And now all the Spurs players know if

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: we throw it up there, Eric Gordon's not gonna get it,

69
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Drew u Banks is not gonna get it. They're like, oh,

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Vic's running to the rim. I just chuck it up.

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Let's see what he can grab. I kind of think

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: the give and go is gonna be like a key

73
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: play for him because you can shoot the three. Well enough,

74
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: h you gotta respect it. You gotta respect it. So

75
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: you can see times last night where they would challenge

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: the three, he would just dish it to the top

77
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: and then run at the red and they're like, well, sorry,

78
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: that's a runway for Victor. Wee Banyama throw it up

79
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: big time. Dunk. Was really cool to see that end

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: of the second quarter sequence he had where he filled

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the lane for that monster dunk on a fast break.

82
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: The next time, Down hit a pick and pop three.

83
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Then it was kind of a two for one situation.

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: So in like five seconds left, hits the pull up three.

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: At the end of the half, as like, oh my goodness,

86
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: wake the kids up. They need to see this. We're

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: watching a potential got here it was awesome. It's just

88
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: cool to see him thriving. I like that.

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: In his fifth career game thirty eight points, ten boards,

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: two blocks, fifteen to twenty six shooting. His thirty eight

91
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: points are tied for the third most scored by a

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: rookie in Spurs history. Only David Robinson had more forty

93
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: one and thirty nine in nineteen ninety. Something tells me

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: Wemby's gonna beat those at some point this season. Stattitudes though,

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: with the craziest stat this morning in Justin's newsletter, the

96
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: last player to record a thirty five point ten rebound

97
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: game within their first five games of their NBA career

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: was you will never in a million years guess this answer.

99
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: Thirty five points, ten rebounds in what their first.

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 3: Five games like within that window?

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Big or small? Small? Two thousand and eight. I'll give

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: you the year. You'll never get it, man, two thousand

103
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: and eight. A small Rodney stuck. I mean that's a

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:19,559
Speaker 1: fair guess, Anthony Morrow. Okay, so just wild, wild, He's

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: got more potentiale what everybody's been saying. He absolutely does.

106
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: But you know this was a wild game, right, Spurs

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: up huge. I think they got up to twenty seven

108
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: points at one point, and then the Suns come storming back.

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: But Wemby, you know, really sealed the victory ten of

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 3: the Spurs final twelve points as he outduels two of

111
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 3: the NBA's best scorers in the fourth quarter in Katie

112
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: and Booker. I mean, he was going toe to toe

113
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: with them, and he is now fifteen of nineteen in

114
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter this season. Wemby is not bad, I know,

115
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: really five games in here, but my god.

116
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: It's awesome. He was looking confident. He was scoring off

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: of like pinned down screens, little dump offs obviously, and

118
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: he had the jumper going. I was also impressed by

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: his passing. He only had two assists last night, but

120
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: they were both gorgeous. One was on a short roll,

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: he catches it, whips it out to the corner, no

122
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: look for a wide open three. And then there was

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: that one where it was like a lob into him

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: once again in the post. Everybody converges because he's a giant,

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: and he just grabs it, bop tips it right into

126
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: the lane for an easy lamp. The only bad thing

127
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: that happened for Victor webn Yama last night finally lost

128
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: the jump ball stole the temples. Yees, absolutely, We'll take

129
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you that. I didn't think that was legal. I'm pretty

130
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: sure it's not. Yeah, but he did lose that.

131
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: I love this tweet here from Gorbet Spud this morning

132
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: our friend there up in Toronto. There will be a

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: time when the Wembin Yama highlights look normal, but my

134
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: eyes are still adjusting to them. He's like, when you

135
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: would just do max height and minimum weight as a

136
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: joke in create a player and make him ninety nine

137
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: in all skills, it still seems a bit fake. A

138
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 3: lot of truth to that. So true, and it is

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: nuts that Wemby the number one pick, all the buzz

140
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: and world, all the most hype prospects since yeah Lebron probably,

141
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: and he is somehow managing to sort of exceed expectations here.

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: Early on, I think we thought the defense would be unreal.

143
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: But I didn't have him down for thirty eight points

144
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: and closing out the Suns here in the first week

145
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: of his career, or first week and a half.

146
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Two and zero against the Suns. Now he's averaging twenty

147
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: a game, shooting fifty two from three. I'm with you.

148
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: I thought that the offense was going to be a

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: work in progress, but you can also pile up a

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of numbers literally just by getting the ball at

151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: the rim and tipping it in. So shout out to

152
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the Spurs for realizing that. But then to see the

153
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: other facets of his game, the playmaking, looking for his shot.

154
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Obviously the defense is there as well. I mean, he

155
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: was hyped enough that we were seeing his overseas game

156
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: on the NBA appter the entirety of last season, and

157
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: he's living up to it through the first week here.

158
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: Remember m Night Shyamalan's signs.

159
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: Oh I certainly remember Okay, okay, So you know the

160
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: movie watching what Minyama is like seeing the alien at

161
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: that Brazilian kid's birthday party the first time you see

162
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: it on the TV with the shaky cam quarder and

163
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: the alien, of course his nickname, like goes down that

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: little alleyway and he stops and looks at us, and

165
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: it's chilling every highlight right now, Like I get like

166
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 3: excited watching Oh my god. So I guess my point

167
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: is the only way to stop him is to throw

168
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: water on him. That's what the sun should do, That's

169
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: what they should.

170
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Look everywhere That's what it reminds me of.

171
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: I know his nickname is the Alien, but it's like

172
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: it's crazy, man. I can't believe he's exceeding expectations so

173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: early here. You just knock on wood that he of

174
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: course stays healthy and continues to play at this level.

175
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: He falls down a lot, but he seems to be

176
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: a graceful faller, which is important to learn. Man's lexible exactly.

177
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: Anything else from Wenby there or the Spurs y well,

178
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: I will add it did suck for the Spurs here

179
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: that Devin Vessel left this game. He's got a groin

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: injury to groin tightness. I guess that can be a

181
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: lingering issue. He gets seventeen in the first half. He

182
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: was the Spurs leading score I believe early in the

183
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: season here, and I think he's gonna get an MRI

184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: team could be without him.

185
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: For a little while, said Pong.

186
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: But he's played great, and you know, we like to

187
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: see the Wemby highlights and all the stats and all that,

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: but it's even cooler coming in victories with the Spurs,

189
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: you know, shocking some people here with their three and

190
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: two records. So hopefully it's nothing serious with them. To

191
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: sell in other actions. Just Pelo Bincarro scored thirty as

192
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: the Magic beat the Jazz one fifteen to one thirteen.

193
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: Nice little breakout game.

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Nice breakout game, nice finish at the end to what

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: it was. Markinen hit a three to put the Jazz

196
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: up right before the final possession for the Magic. Tough

197
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: take by ban Caro to get to the game. I

198
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: think he finished left handed as well. That was obviously

199
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: his best game of the season so far. Yeah, three

200
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: and two. They haven't beat a lot of great teams.

201
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: You gotta beat the bad teams if you want to

202
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: at least get into a play.

203
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, they seem to be at least reminding us

204
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: or telling us, hey, we are not one of these

205
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: bottom dwelling teams, like we are going to at least

206
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: be a tier.

207
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Or two above that.

208
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: You're right and beat score twenty eight seventy six ers

209
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: beat the Raptors one fourteen ninety nine Wraps looking like they.

210
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: Did earlier in the season.

211
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: Forget about that Bucks victory the other night. Embiid was

212
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: a monster though, and then CJ. McCollums scored thirty three

213
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: points to lead the shorthanded Pelicans past the Pistons one

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: one sixteen. He was on fire in the first half.

215
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: I think you get twenty five at the half. But

216
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: you know, Pelicans are a feel good story here too,

217
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: and I feel like they might come up when we

218
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: start talking about one week in and so let's get

219
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: to it. One weekend, baby, I got some questions for you.

220
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: Let's just get this one out of the way. We

221
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: don't have to put a lot of time to it.

222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: Who is your MVP one weekend? I know people are

223
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: rolling their eyes at that. Oh my god, what are

224
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: you doing. You're part of the problem, man, You're part

225
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: of the problem the MVP narrative.

226
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: You're driving it down our throats too early, and I'm

227
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: doing it for Victor Solomon.

228
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, who do you have? Trey Kirby one weekend and

229
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: change here as your MVP.

230
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: I think we should do it every week. Okay, every

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Friday we check in on who is the MVP. We

232
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: did it after one last week. Now it's one week

233
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: and my top pick has changed. I do believe Luka

234
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: Doncic is my MVP right now. Yeah. Thirty three point

235
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: eight points per game, ten and a half rebounds per game,

236
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: nine point eight assists, basically a triple double. Fifty one,

237
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: forty two, seventy two are his shooting splits, can't make

238
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: free throws, I guess. So Luca is leading the league

239
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: in scoring, He's third in assists, He's twelfth in rebounding.

240
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: In the early days of the season here the MAVs.

241
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: They got the second best offense in the league. They

242
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: are cooking right now and knocking down a bunch of

243
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: threes twenty against the Bulls certainly helped. Also, MAVs are

244
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: undefeated four to zero. Yep. Every game has been a

245
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: clutch game for him, and Luca is sixth in the

246
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: league in clutch points per game this season so far,

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: shooting seventy percent in the clutch. He's balling for the

248
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: first forty five minutes forty three minutes, and then the

249
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: final five minutes he's balling even harder. So I got

250
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: Luca right now. I think that's right.

251
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: I think most people would agree with that, especially them

252
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: being undefeated. Though the Celtics are two and you can

253
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: make a case for Tatum. Maybe the numbers are strong,

254
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: but he plays last minutes and they've been crushing teams.

255
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: I think it's wild that our reigning MVP. Joel Embiid

256
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: is averaging thirty points per game, eleven boards, and seven assists,

257
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: and he's maybe be fourth or fifth on people's MVP rankings.

258
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: He may not even be the MVP of his own

259
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: team right now. That's mind boggling because it's like Luca,

260
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: it's Tatum, it's Jokic, it's Curry, and then you know

261
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: some people slipping in, even a Tyrese Maxie on the

262
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: Philadelphia se sixers.

263
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: But that's awesome.

264
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: He's thirty eleven and seven and it just you know,

265
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: goes to show you how awesome this league is right now.

266
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: Or the stars of the Stars.

267
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, MVP tracker on Basketball Reference has Embiid as fourth

268
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: right now, only a one point one percent chance, but

269
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: Maxie is fifth point nine percent. They have been really,

270
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: really good to start the season.

271
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so we got Luca right now. Next question, one weekend.

272
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: What's been most surprising to you either team player development?

273
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: What do you got? I was looking at teams and

274
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: I was peeping the top of the standings to see

275
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: if there's a team that I didn't expect to be

276
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: out there, Like I really expect Philadelphia to get off

277
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: to this kind of a hot start, you know, embiid

278
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: is typically a slow starter. Didn't know what was gonna

279
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: happen with James Harden. They could just be basically down

280
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: a player, which they are, but it hasn't mattered. They're

281
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: three to one, but their wins are against the Raptors

282
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: two times in the Blazers. They haven't beat great teams.

283
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: They could be four. No, they could have easily won

284
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: an opening night. Dallas I think is up there too

285
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: as a surprise, but they've beat the Spurs, Nets, Grizzlies,

286
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: and Bulls. Not a great run here so far, and

287
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: then the Orlando Magic. They've beat the Rockets, the Blazers,

288
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: and the Jazz, but still three and two. So ultimately

289
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: my most surprising team is the Pelicans because they beat

290
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: some decent teams, I think the Grizzlies, the Knicks, the

291
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: Thunder and then the Pistons last night. And they've done

292
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: this in typical Pelicans fashion, not having their players healthy.

293
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: Tray Murphy the Third obviously hasn't played yet this season,

294
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram has missed the last three games for New Orleans,

295
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: and Zion took a rest last night. But it's kind

296
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: of been CJ. Mcollum putting the team on his back.

297
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: He had twenty two in the second half of the

298
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: comeback against ok Seed. Then, like you said, twenty five

299
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: last night in the first half YEA against Detroit. Seven

300
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: points over the course of one calendar game. I don't

301
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: know if you call it a calendar game. But second

302
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: that okay, Yeah, he only had eight in the second half.

303
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: But CJ had kind of a down year last year

304
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: and they needed him to be a little bit better.

305
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: But because so many players go in and out of

306
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: the lineup for the Pelicans and he's usually pretty steady,

307
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: he has been steady this year and he's been carrying

308
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: the team early on. I like that pick. I'll go

309
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: with the sixers.

310
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: I think as the most surprising to me, mainly because

311
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: of the whole cloud of James Harden hanging over them,

312
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: and it was like, oh, how is this going to start?

313
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: And instead Maxi is like, I'm an All Star, I'm

314
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: an All NBA guard and be you know, rounding back

315
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: into form here. It took just a couple of games

316
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: for him to sort of get back into game shape.

317
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: Nick Nurse obviously like leaning into those guys more. But

318
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: twas Harris has been awesome. Kelly Ubray Junior is probably

319
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: the most surprising like addition to a good squad with

320
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 3: the stats he's put up. So I'll give Philly some

321
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: love there for a great start. You know, they look well,

322
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: they obviously look better than the Milwaukee Bucks do right

323
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: now and then sort of still maybe a little bit

324
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: behind the Boston Celtics, but they're in the mix. Let's

325
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: keep it moving. Most disappointing, who you got?

326
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: This one wasn't as hard, I don't think. Yeah, I

327
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: think it's one of two teams. Yeah, some interesting to

328
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: where you go one of two teams, one in each conference.

329
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: I think we are probably agreeing on. But I'm going

330
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: with the Grizzlies. They are zero and five, the only

331
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: team in the league yet to win a game. They

332
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: lost to the Pelicans, the Nuggets, and the Mavericks. I

333
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: think that's fine. Yeah, you know, you might think that

334
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: those teams are going to be ahead of the Grizzlies

335
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the season anyways, fair enough, but

336
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: they got smoked by the Wizards and they got smoked

337
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: by the Jazz, two teams that I think Memphis plans

338
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: on finishing ahead coming into the season. At least oh

339
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: to five so far, thirtieth on offense, and it does

340
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: not look good at all, only twenty second on defense.

341
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: The good news, I suppose for Memphis fans they played

342
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: the Blazers on Friday and Sunday, which is a good

343
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: chance to at least get a first win. But we

344
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: could be sounding some alarm bells on Monday if both

345
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: of these go the wrong way for Memphis. They've had

346
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. Obviously, Jaw is out for another

347
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: twenty games. Another twenty games. That's amazing that he's He's

348
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to come back and really put the team

349
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: on his back to try and get them back into

350
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: playing content.

351
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna miss the entirety of the nd season tournament.

352
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, a tragedy. I was actually wondering since

353
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't count as a regular season game, if Memphis

354
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: made it to the finals, they couldn't playing that. I'm back, baby,

355
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, Memphis. You know, the loss of Steven Adams

356
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: is shocking how important it is for the Grizzlies his

357
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: screen setting. They're an offensive rebounding team. He moves Jared

358
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior back to the four, which is a position

359
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: that he prefers, but like even missing Santi al Dama

360
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: is huge. Brandon Clark is obviously out right now as well,

361
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: to the point where Memphis had to bring in Bismack

362
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: Biambo is the answer. And I don't know if Bismack's

363
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna help, but they need another big guy. And all

364
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: of these recent first round picks that they've drafted, after

365
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: letting Kyle Anderson walk, after saying goodbye to d Anthony Melton,

366
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: they haven't really performed. Roddy Reveia just have not really

367
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: shown up so far this season's I hear Williams as well.

368
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: All of those wing guys are really struggling right now,

369
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: which is why the Grizzlies are the worst team in

370
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: the league through the first week of the season. Yeah.

371
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to be to beat a dead bear here,

372
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: by I'm going with the Grizzlies as well, because for

373
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: all the reasons you just said, and Kelly Eco writing

374
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 3: at The Athletic today, you know, noting that this is

375
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: not some rebuilding franchise that we're talking about here, that's

376
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: so in five and struggling offensively. This is a team

377
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: thought to be in the mix.

378
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: Now.

379
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, little different when your SuperStar's not there and you're

380
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: big man and all that, but still there's talent in

381
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: Bain and Jerry Jackson Junior, and their whole thing has been, Man,

382
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: look at all the draft picks we do, look at

383
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: all you know, we're almost like a sneaky version of

384
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat, where we just we have all these

385
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: guys that we can just plug in and keep racking

386
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: up victories. And that's not the case here early. So

387
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 3: I like the Grizzlies. The Miami Heat, of course, are

388
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference Eastern Conference team at one and four

389
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: and just squeaked out that season opening w Yeah, they

390
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: were up big and the I think they let the

391
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 3: Pistons get back into it and then they held on

392
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: for the victory. But you know, could be zero to

393
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: five as well. And no, it's it's just a little

394
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: different with them because it's like, oh, this is what

395
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: they do. They have all these bad spells, don't worry,

396
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: they'll turn around. But haven't been impressed by them. End

397
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: of games. Jimmy Butler's been very quiet this year. Like heroes,

398
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: like their leading score, it feels like in a three

399
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: game yeah or something like that, which like is that

400
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: is that the right sort of balance that you want.

401
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's the Grizzlies or Heat. Make your pick.

402
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: In terms of players, I have a few as well.

403
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh, hold on, before we move on to players. I agree,

404
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: Miami was on my list, but they were the third

405
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: team on my list. The second team on my list

406
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: is the Bucks. Yeah, okay, they squeaked by. Yeah, they're

407
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: winning the first game against Philadelphia with Dame catching fire

408
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: fourteen points in the last four minutes, if I'm not mistaken,

409
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: But they're literally on pace to be the worst defense

410
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: in NBA history, the Milwaukee Bucks. And you've got people

411
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: already questioning the hiring of Adrian Griff and the schemes

412
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: that he's implemented. There's weird stuff going on with Chris

413
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: Middleton and his minutes restriction. He came back in the

414
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: second half like kind of unexpectedly in their last game,

415
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: which sent Brook Lopez to the bench for a long time.

416
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: It kind of looks to me like Griffin is doing

417
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: a little too much here and they kind of just

418
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: got to simplify things, go back to the way they

419
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: were playing. Have Brooke in the drop, utilize Giannis as

420
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: a roamer. The problem is that their perimeter defense is

421
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: really really bad right now. So Dame is obviously not

422
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: a defender, but they've been starting Leak Beasley and that

423
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: guy is flammable as well. So maybe move Conton into

424
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: the starting lineup and start playing it a little straighter

425
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: and things could improve.

426
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that because we've been doing a lot

427
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: more polls on our YouTube community page there. I want

428
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: four teams, though, to ask the question, who's been the

429
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: most disappointing? Obviously the Grizzlies, obviously the Heat. We're going

430
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: to include the Bucks. Who would be the fourth? Do

431
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: we go suns or is that not really fair? Because

432
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: Nobil Booker missed a bunch of time.

433
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's disappoin that we haven't seen Beale play yet,

434
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, and it's disappointing that Booker has missed a

435
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: little bit of time. But two of their losses are

436
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: against the Spurs, which is just funny to see. I

437
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: got it any other you know, Personally, for me, I

438
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: would put the Bulls in there because I bull flip

439
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: a coin for one. Yeah. Well, the good thing for

440
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: the Raptors is they're not a big joke like when

441
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: you listen to any other NBA podcast, They're like, man,

442
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: there's just so much talent in the league. Every team

443
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: is exciting to watch, except the Bulls. I'm good on

444
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: the Bulls. It's true. That's the take right now. Everybody's

445
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: done with the Bulls. One week end of the season,

446
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: we got Vooch fighting with Billy Donovan on the court.

447
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: We got Zach Lavine saying, look, we had a bunch

448
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of players, only players in the room talking to each other.

449
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: We didn't want Billy to hear what we were saying.

450
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: But that doesn't make it a player player. We were

451
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: meeting just US players. Only US players were in this meeting.

452
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: But it was just a conversation. Uh, there's a lot

453
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: of drama in Chicago, and who knows if they actually

454
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: make a move, but they should probably make some moves.

455
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: All that said, the Bulls beat the Raptors. Yeah, it

456
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: was a thrilling game. Skits disappointing players.

457
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: I have one particular Toronto Raptors player I was, you know,

458
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: going back and forth between who's been the most disappointing

459
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: to me, Siakam or Julius Randall. They've both been very

460
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: rough here to start the year. I went with Randall,

461
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: he is not playing well.

462
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: He is.

463
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: He just went three to fifteen in the lost to

464
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: the Calves there on Wednesday night, dropped the Knicks to

465
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: two and three. Randall is shooting only twenty eight percent

466
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: from the field. He is dead last in the NBA

467
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: among the one hundred and twenty five players who are

468
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 3: taking at least nine shots a game. So you know,

469
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: of a of a high volume sort of guy, he's

470
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: dead last when it comes to percentage. Pair that with

471
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: a sub twenty six three point percentage. He's only sixty

472
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: four percent at the free throw line. This guy's normally

473
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: a very good free throw shooter for a big guy.

474
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 3: He has a bit of a built in excuse. I

475
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 3: sort of had forgotten that he went under underwent surgery

476
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: on his ankle during the summer and he didn't return

477
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: until five on five, until like the started training camp.

478
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: So you know, maybe this is a reason why, but

479
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: it's brutal. Fred Katz has an article on it on

480
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 3: The Athletic and Fred writs Randall has an on again,

481
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: off again habit with the Knicks. He struggled during his

482
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 3: first season in New York. Then he made All NBA

483
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: in his second, then he fell off again in his third,

484
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 3: and then he's flipping the bird to everybody.

485
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I added that.

486
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: Part, and then he returned to the award bellots last season.

487
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

488
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: And so unfortunately this trend continuing here in a down

489
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: year or a bad start for Randall. But he's been

490
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: disappointing and it's a big part of why they're two

491
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: and three.

492
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty eighth in offense, twenty eight percent from the field,

493
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: and he's not cutting out attempts. It doesn't feel like

494
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: he's like, I gotta get myself going here. But yeah,

495
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Randall's a bit of a roller coaster guy for sure.

496
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: Do you have any players on your list disappointing or

497
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: did you.

498
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: Just focus on the teams. I was mostly focusing on

499
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: the teams. But Trey Young has not had a hot

500
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: start to the season. He played pretty well recently, which

501
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: got him back over thirty percent, But he was on

502
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: those same lists as Randall for high volume shooters who

503
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: were not making the shots right now. Yeah, but the

504
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: Hawks have righted the ship a little bit after a

505
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: struggling through the first week of the season. Jeante Murray

506
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: a big reason for that.

507
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: He's been Verry stepped up in sort of tray struggles there,

508
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 3: all right, next question, who deserves more attention one weekend

509
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 3: to the season.

510
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Chris Paul does. Wow. Yeah, Chris Paul. Three games off

511
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: the bench, he's putting up a whopping seven points, five rebounds,

512
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: and seven assists. It's not crazy number skeets, but he's

513
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: got twenty assists to two turnovers and sis since he

514
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: went to the bench. The Warriors have the best bench

515
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: in the league. They've had some decent benches when Jordan

516
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: Poole was at his hottest, when andre Iguidala and Sean

517
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Livingston were around, but there have also been long stretches

518
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: where if Steph Curry sat, you didn't know what you

519
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: were getting from the Warriors. I think Chris Paul has

520
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: definitely stabilized this second unit for Golden State. He's playing

521
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: like twenty seven minutes per game, which is probably great

522
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: for Chris Paul to make sure that he's healthy at

523
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: the end of the season because they will absolutely need

524
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: him and he's still able to close games, as we

525
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: saw when he was subbed in for Wiggins just recently.

526
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: So I think Chris Paul he came in, he got

527
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: a couple of starts when Draymond was out, and then

528
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: the Warriors figured he's gonna be our second unit guy.

529
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: We're keeping him in the second unit. Even when Wiggins

530
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: was missing games, it was Moody going into the starting

531
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: lineup rather than Chris Paul. They just seem to have

532
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: settled on this pretty quickly, and it's pretty impressive. You know,

533
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: anytime a star goes to the bench and makes it work,

534
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: it's good. Yeah.

535
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, for a guy that had never come

536
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: off the bench, never entire career, it is pretty well.

537
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: I love that one.

538
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: Someone that I think deserves a little more attention, and

539
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: I was happy to see Steve Jones Junior give him

540
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: some last night on Twitter with a thread herb Jones

541
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: and his first team Hall defense.

542
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: Here this guy.

543
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 3: One of his Basketball reference nicknames is the straight Jacket.

544
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: I didn't know that, but it's there. He had three

545
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: steals four blocks against the Pistons last night against Steve

546
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: Jones Junior. Awesome Twitter thread with the clips. I mean

547
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: he's blocking three point shooters that he's like screaming out

548
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: to blocking guys at the rim, like having these steals

549
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: where the guy he's not even really involved in the play,

550
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: but turns around and uses his long arms to give

551
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: me that like he was all over the place. I

552
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: went and checked. He's locked up. Jillen Brunson this year

553
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: helped keep him to four or fourteen shooting versus OKC.

554
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: He definitely helped a slow SGA who shot eight of

555
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: twenty and then last night Kate Cunningham eight of twenty

556
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: two six turnovers. Pelicans are a top ten defense. He

557
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: we We've talked about Herb Jones before and his defensive acumen,

558
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: but I think this will be the year that he

559
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 3: like probably makes an All defensive team if he obviously

560
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 3: continues to play and and they're sort of top ten

561
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 3: like that. But you know, he's a.

562
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Guy that's he's a guy that's right.

563
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 3: There when you talk about like og Ana Noobi and

564
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: like Caruso and Gary Payton.

565
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: The second and McDaniels.

566
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: McDaniels, Yeah, these really talented defensive sort of wing guys

567
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: or perimeter players at least.

568
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: So he's been awesome. Herb Jones, Herb the Strait Jackins.

569
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: That's a good nickname from three though.

570
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'd like to see he's a three and D guy,

571
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: But you got to give a little more three. But

572
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: he will, he'll be he'll be streaky, He'll he'll pop off.

573
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 3: He'll have a month where he's like, can't miss from three.

574
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: You watch, but he's out there for defense and he's

575
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 3: helping them win a lot of these games because of

576
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: their d That's how they're doing it. So good on herb.

577
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 3: All right, final one here, favorite highlight? You got a

578
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: particular highlight from the first whatever seven eight days.

579
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: First one that came to my mind was wenby Duncan

580
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: on Drew you Banks in the first Spurs versus Suns meeting.

581
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: You know, Drew Banks didn't really have a chance at

582
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: blocking it, but he made the highlight better by trying

583
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: to block it. That guy's always gonna jump. It was

584
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: really Vic's first highlight in the NBA, so that one

585
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: sticks out to me.

586
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: Early on, Yeah, I wrote down anything involving women, and well,

587
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: I actually wrote down anything involving Victor wemen Yama and

588
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 3: anything involving Jordan Poole. Those are my highlights so far

589
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: from this season. Some other ones though, Luca's one handed

590
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: heave off the glass, nice is the nets Yokich's seventy

591
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: foot alliup from the inbounds to Aaron Gordon who dunked

592
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: at home. Steph clowning Dylan Brooks was pretty fun and

593
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 3: uh and then dunk wise, I like Zion when he

594
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: split the d and and sort of dunked on Jared

595
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 3: Jackson Jr. And uh Jalen big Johnson with the Hawks

596
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 3: when he uh you know, detonated on a couple knicks.

597
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 3: He put a couple of them in the rim. Emileigue

598
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: Monk had a big one two on Chris Dunn. I

599
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: guess sort of in transition those the biggest dunk so far.

600
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: He had one really nice one, then another semi nice one.

601
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like we get some great highlights

602
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks. Yeah. He said that

603
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: everybody's legs are feeling great. Nobody's totally sure what everybody

604
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: else is able to pull off early in the season,

605
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: so we get to see some highlights. It's good.

606
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 3: All right, We're gonna take our first break when we

607
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: come back. We are going to uh get a little

608
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: excited about the in season Tournament, which starts tonight. Don't

609
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: go anywhere, Okay, So the group playstage of the NBA

610
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 3: In Season Tournament, the I s t It begins tonight,

611
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 3: seven games on here on Friday. Let me get give

612
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 3: you a primer on how this works again, because some

613
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: people are very confused. Each NBA team plays in a

614
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: four team soccer style group with competitions staggered across the

615
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: month on tournament nights Okay, Fridays and Tuesday nights to

616
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 3: be exact. After group play, there will be knockout rounds

617
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: than a winner in December that earns some cash and

618
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: a cool new trophy. And we just learned that the

619
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 3: coaches are also getting cash. Oh yes, all of it

620
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: except the tournament championship in Vegas count towards the eighty

621
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: two game standing. So these are just normal games, but

622
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: they're ist games. So eight teams will advance to the

623
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: knockout rounds. The team with the best standing in group

624
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: play games in each of the six groups and two

625
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: wild cards. That's teams from each conference with the best

626
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: record in the group play games that finished second in

627
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 3: his group make that knockout. There are a bunch of

628
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: tiebreakers which I feel like are gonna happen here. Head

629
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: to head record in the group stage, point differential in

630
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: the group stage, total points score in the group stage, like,

631
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 3: those are your tiebreakers as you move down the list,

632
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: if we need to get them, and even to the

633
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 3: point where we get to regular season record from last

634
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: year as a tiebreaker, probably unlikely, but that's what happened.

635
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: I hope so, but I hope that we see some

636
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: shenanigans late in games here, because if point differential matters, yes,

637
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: and if total points scored matters, like it could be

638
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: a thirty point blower.

639
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: You're like, we're keeping our guys in. It could matter

640
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: college football style. We'll see if whether or not the

641
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: actually care enough about this. So my first question before

642
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: we get into making our predictions for each group, because

643
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: that's what we're gonna do. On a scale of one

644
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: to five, let's do that. How excited are you for

645
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 3: the N Season Tournament? One being the lowest, five being

646
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: the Hey, I'm hyped.

647
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: I was a two early, but I've grown, skeets, I'm

648
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: a four now. Okay, I'm getting excited for the N

649
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: Season Tournament because I kind of realized it's not necessarily

650
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: for us sikos. We would be watching games on Fridays

651
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: and Tuesdays regardless. True, it doesn't matter. We're gonna watch

652
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: them either way. Yeah, not everybody is. This is gonna

653
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: matter for people, And when they start asking about the

654
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: n Season Tournament, you start kind of explaining the best

655
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: you can how it's actually gonna happen in a non

656
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: confusing way. They're like, oh, this sounds pretty cool. Yeah,

657
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: I guess they should do that. I didn't even really

658
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: know the NBA had started yet, Okay, so it's smart

659
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: to do it. Then you show people who aren't purists

660
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: what these courts look like, and they're like, that's sick.

661
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: That looks incredible. So I'm like, Okay, maybe I'm wrong

662
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: on this one. I'm giving it a shot. The play

663
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: in Tournament has definitely been a success, yep. So I'm

664
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: feeling good about this. Give me a four. Look, I'm

665
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: right there with you.

666
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna see a lot of red courts tonight, okay,

667
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,959
Speaker 3: because the Bulls are hosting one of these games, the

668
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: Heat are hosting one of these games, and the Blazers

669
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: are hosting one of these games. It's a lot of red.

670
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna see red tonight. But yeah, I will I

671
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: will give the NBA credit. They are not half asking this, eh,

672
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: they are going all in on trying to get maybe

673
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: us the diehards and the siccos, but like you said,

674
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: more importantly the casuals into this. Like they sent out

675
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: packages I saw to people. I don't know how we

676
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: didn't get one. What up with that silver you know,

677
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: Like it's like like a cool kit about the nd

678
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: season tournament. I think there was like glasses in it,

679
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: and there's some Hennessy chase Arono has one. I should

680
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: have pulled the tweet.

681
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. But they're like and just like

682
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: like all.

683
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: Of the explanations they have on the website and like

684
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: they're just really you know, of course the courts and

685
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: the jerseys and all that, they are just like trying

686
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: to bang us over the head with like, hey, this

687
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: is different. This means actually something.

688
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: You can tell by the courts.

689
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see, We'll see how it pays off. I'm

690
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: convinced that whether this is a success will all come

691
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: down to how those knockout and and semifinals and finals

692
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: games go. If they're entertaining, I think people be like, oh,

693
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: that was fun, that was cool. And if they're not,

694
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: and they're duds and they're you know, players aren't even

695
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: playing stuff like that and there's rest manager. I don't

696
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: know then it never a movie like this sucks. So man,

697
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: they got to rig those games, is my point. They

698
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: got Look that's what I would do, that was Silver,

699
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: you know, turn yourself into a little Vince wing Man

700
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: here and rig those games to make them entertaining. All right,

701
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: just those those semifinals in that finals, like, make them

702
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: very entertaining. I think people will get on board for this.

703
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: But anyway, let's move through each group here and uh,

704
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, make your prediction. Will we have on the

705
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: screen here for everybody on YouTube. I'm not gonna read

706
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: them all for the podcast listeners, but we have the odds. Yeah,

707
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: of course you can bet on all this stuff. So

708
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: East Group A that is you see there Philadelphia, the Calves,

709
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: the Hawks, the Pacers, and the Pistons.

710
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: Who you got winning? This one's interesting? I think Philadelphia

711
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: they're the favorite out of this group, barely ahead of

712
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: New Calves, but they've definitely looked better than the Calves

713
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: have to start the season. Here. Embiid is looking okay

714
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: after a slow first game, and then is looking incredible

715
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: right now. They also don't have the James Harden saga

716
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: hanging over their heads. They can just play pure in

717
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: season tournament basketball now skeets. So I'm going with Philadelphia.

718
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's another team in this

719
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: group that will advance to the knockout.

720
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think this is going to

721
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: be the group that has the wildcard team. And who's

722
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: your pick?

723
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Hawks?

724
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: They too, Yeah, okay, I'll go Philly winning the group,

725
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: and yeah, the Hawks of the wildcard.

726
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: I just want to see a quarterfinals game here. I

727
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: gotta see what Marine black and Blue court. Oh yeah,

728
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: right right, all right, East Group B. The Bucks are

729
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: the heavy favorites, despite struggling. As we talked about to

730
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: start the season. This has the heat. It has the Knicks,

731
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: the Hornets, and the Wizards. Are you not overthinking this one?

732
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: Or or maybe this is where the heat turn it on?

733
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: They're built for eliminations. Am I overthinking this? Probably? I

734
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: probably am, especially based on our first segment here when

735
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: you told me Julius Randall's statistics. But I don't know why.

736
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: I was just looking at this over and over. I

737
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: was drawn to the New York Knicks. They're playing great defense.

738
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: Randall maybe will come around. Brunson is obviously a pretty

739
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: good scorer, and they're a team that has played together

740
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons now, so they've got some continuity.

741
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: It's just been a struggle on offense, but you know,

742
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: their defense is gonna show up. I also just am

743
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: not very confident in Milwaukee or Miami right now.

744
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: I know, but I think I'm gonna I'm gonna go

745
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: Bucks Big game tonight in season tournament Bucks knicks Man.

746
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: In Madison Square Garden. That's right on the orange court. Yes, no, no, no,

747
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: this one's in Milwaukee. Oh is it? Yeah? This one

748
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: is in Milwaukee.

749
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm gonna take Milwaukee to win this week. Okay,

750
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: East Group ce Boston. The favorites make sense. They are

751
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: perfect four to zero and they have an unbelievable net

752
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: rating right now. They are hammering teams, and then you

753
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: got the Raptors, the Nets, the Bulls, and the Magic.

754
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: This is the no dunk groups, and are you taking

755
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: the Celtics.

756
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: Celtics are the biggest favorite on the board for any

757
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: of these groups, Eastern or Western Conference, because they are

758
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: clearly the best team in their group. They should win

759
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: all for their games. Okay, so I'm taking Boston.

760
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: Okay, and then we already said we have the Hawks

761
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: as the wild card.

762
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

763
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 3: Moving on to the West, we'll start with Group A

764
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: that makes sense. We got the Suns, the Lakers, the Grizzlies,

765
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: the Jazz, and the Blazers. Okay, Okay, I know the

766
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: Grizzlies are stir rugg a ling, but it's almost like

767
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 3: a strong group.

768
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: What do you got looks like a really strong group.

769
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Lakers ahead of Phoenix, though I

770
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: do think Phoenix will be the wild card as well,

771
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: because I just don't have a lot of confidence in Memphis,

772
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: Utah or Portland knocking off either of those top couple

773
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: of teams there. But the Lakers seem to be more

774
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: devoted to the early season right now than the Suns are.

775
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: You know, Booker came back last night, looked pretty good.

776
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: But the Lakers have gotten off to a pretty solid

777
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: start here, I think. And you can tell they're taking

778
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: the thing seriously because Lebron had a one game minutes

779
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: limit and now he's just playing all the time. Yeah,

780
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: because that's how it is. This is my upset group. Okay.

781
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 3: I think I told you a couple of weeks ago.

782
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: I think, like, the Utah Jazz are gonna win the

783
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: n season tournament for no reason, So I gotta pick

784
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: Utah to come out of this plus seven to fifty.

785
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna shock the world the Jazz. Those are gonna

786
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 3: be two tough games at home on that purple court. Basically,

787
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 3: they're gonna play on you. That's the exact purple that

788
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: you're wearing.

789
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: Pretty much exact same.

790
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna play on Trey Kirby's chest those two games

791
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: in Utah.

792
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: I got some mountains.

793
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are drumlins. I'm gonna take the Jazz. Why

794
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 3: because why not?

795
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: Exactly?

796
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 3: West Group B, Nuggets, Clippers, Mavericks, Pelicans Wow as a

797
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 3: loaded group, and then the Rocket's there at plus one thousand.

798
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 1: Where are you going? This group looks a lot, a

799
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: lot closer than it did at the when they announced

800
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: the group and you were taking a look at the standings,

801
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: you're like that Mavericks were not great at the end

802
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: of last season, but they're rolling now. The Clippers I

803
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: think have been. They could have come up as a

804
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: surprise team with how much Kawhi Leonard has played and

805
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: just how cohesive they look as a unit. Then we

806
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: talked about the Pelicans have been really good to start

807
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 1: the season as well. But I'm going Denver, Going Denver. Yeah,

808
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: they had that one bad game where they scored eighty

809
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: six points. That might be their season low this year.

810
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 3: You don't think James Harden comes in and uh you know, rallies,

811
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: we gotta get this one. Yeah, I am the tournament.

812
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: Give it the Clippers, all right?

813
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: Why not come up with the dumbest reason why something

814
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: will happen to this year? Nugets the favorites, but uh,

815
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 3: I will I also think this might be the wild

816
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: card group, although that could be tough. They can might

817
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: they might cannibalize each other this group. Hmmm, that's a

818
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 3: possible possibility. I'll take the Clips in Group B Okay

819
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: Group CEE, Warriors, Kings, Wolves, thunder Man. There's a lot

820
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 3: of good teams in the Western Conference.

821
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: And then the Spurs.

822
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: Hey, let's not sleep on them at three and two

823
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 3: plus fifteen hundred though, so maybe you will sleep on

824
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: them when it comes to betting who got win in

825
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: group See.

826
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: I saw somebody in the YouTube comments say West Group

827
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: ce is crazy sarcastic. I don't know, this is a

828
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: tough group. I'm like the Spurs. They're balling right now.

829
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: They got Victor women, Yaba. It's just one game every

830
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: single night that they gotta do. It's not a full

831
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: series where you're getting scouted. So i'd bean Spurs at

832
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: plus fifteen hundred. It's interesting. I have no reason for this, Keys,

833
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: but I'm taking the Timberwolves. Taking the Wolves, yeah, why now.

834
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: They're great on defense right now, best in the league,

835
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah, I will take Man. I want to

836
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 3: take the Kings, but they're gonna have to play the Warriors. Boy,

837
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 3: I can't believe they're gonna play them again here in

838
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 3: the month. Give me the Warriors. I've been really impressed

839
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 3: with what I've seen from them. I'll take the Warriors

840
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: to win that group, and then who's your wild card

841
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: out West Phoenix, Phoenix Suns. Okay, so you got the

842
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: in Group A there, I will go with, Oh, go

843
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: to Denver. I'll have the Clippers somehow winning that group,

844
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: but Denver coming out as well.

845
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: Wait, so you're telling me you got the Utah Jazz

846
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: coming out of Group A, but Phoenix in LA still

847
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: are not making it. Yes, well, guess you heard it.

848
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: I love it.

849
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 3: And I will note here at the conclusion of the

850
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: n Season Tournament, the NBA will name the most Valuable

851
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 3: Player of the competition and the All Tournament team. And

852
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: I looked into this selection will be based on the

853
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: player's performance in both group play, So these games starting

854
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: tonight and the knockout rounds. It's not just gonna be

855
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 3: from the knockout rounds, though, I'm sure it will wait

856
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: way heavily to those games. But you know, if you're

857
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: scoring forty five in these group play games, and maybe

858
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 3: it helps your chances to make one of these.

859
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, so hopefully somebody has a fifty point game.

860
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: I bet you somebody does.

861
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 3: I bet you they're going to take this so seriously

862
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 3: that they're actually going to start resting their players in

863
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 3: the other games and focusing on Friday and Tuesday nights.

864
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: Is there a bonus for winning MVP? I don't think so.

865
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: I don't know.

866
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: Maybe you should give money to the charity of your choice,

867
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: or give you a car or something. I don't know,

868
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: you still do that anyway. We're hype for the n

869
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: Season Tournament and I can't wait to watch these games

870
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: starting tonight. Uh, We're not done here though with in

871
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: season tournament talk because Trey Kirby's got top five for us.

872
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: To tope top five to go shout out to our

873
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: buddy Grish. This segment was spawned in a grow yeah yeah,

874
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: the five funniest teams to win the inn season Tournament. Okay,

875
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: who would be funniest to see take home the inaugural

876
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: ist Cup at number five? This one's for Grish. The Pistons. Okay,

877
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: what well, I'll be honest with you. I originally had

878
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: the Rockets in here, being one of the worst teams

879
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: in the league for the past four seasons, not off

880
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: to a hot start as well. But then I did

881
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 1: some stat head research and I said, who has the

882
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,439
Speaker 1: fewest wins in the twenty two twenties, And it turns

883
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: out it's the Pistons because the Rockets win total is

884
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: juiced from that last year James Harden in nineteen twenty.

885
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: So you could obviously sub in the Rockets here if

886
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: you wanted. But I do think one of the worst

887
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: teams in the league winning the championship would be pretty

888
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: funny and also a great story for the league.

889
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you would the league

890
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: prefer like one of these elite teams that we think

891
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 3: might win the championship win it or would they actually want, yeah,

892
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 3: a younger team or a team on the come up

893
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 3: to win this whole thing?

894
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: Would they?

895
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 3: I mean, who know, they probably don't care, but I

896
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: wonder which one like Gardner's more buzz.

897
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: My guess is that they would not really care about

898
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: who wins, but for the final four they would like

899
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: to have a championship contender in there and a Cinderella,

900
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: and then who knows what the other two are. But

901
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: as long as each of those genres is filled a success.

902
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 3: I would think, okay, okay, So we have the Pistons

903
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 3: as the fifth funniest team to win this thing.

904
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: At number four. The Philadelphia seventy six ers. Oh yeah,

905
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: their last championship was in nineteen eighty three. They've been

906
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: great in the regular season recently. They always win in

907
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: the first round. It is the second round that has

908
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: been a problem for Philadelphia lately. But you only need

909
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: to really win two tournament games to win the title here.

910
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: And I think Patrick Beverly would really value this championship.

911
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: I think Joel Embiid would really value this championship. And

912
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: I know, Kelly, YOUU bray would value this championship. He'd

913
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: be kissing that cup non stop. Are we I don't know.

914
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 3: Ten, fifteen, twenty years from now going to be weighing

915
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: whether or not you won an IST Cup for your

916
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 3: like Hall of Fame credentials and where you rank on

917
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 3: the old time list, Like does embiid need this?

918
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: It'll come up for borderline cases if you've got an

919
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: IST under your belt, an ICT MVP. Don't forget, don't

920
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: forget about the IST he won.

921
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 3: Okay, the Sixers is a very funny pick, so specifically

922
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: for the embedd angle of it of him winning this, like, oh,

923
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 3: monkey's off his back exactly it showed up, Yeah, exactly,

924
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 3: all right.

925
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: Number three the Washington Wizards. Okay, they haven't won a

926
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: championship since nineteen seventy eight. They haven't had a fifty

927
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: win season since nineteen seventy. Yeah, that sounds that's unbelievable.

928
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: That's a lot some decent teams, Yeah, like the Arenas teams,

929
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: the john Wall teams, they could have won fifty games

930
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: at some point right now though they are the Shackton

931
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: and Fool All Stars. Dragonfly Jones called them the most

932
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: unserious team of all time. But what if they put

933
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: it all together and what if the court side batties

934
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: show up in Las Vegas? Then they got a chance.

935
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 3: Skats alright, I like that. Bizards, Bizards, Okay, I love it,

936
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: I love it. Who else you got at number two?

937
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: The Minnesota timber Wolves my pick to advance out of

938
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: Group B. They've won a playoff round once in their

939
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: entire franchise history.

940
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: Skeets, that's it. Yeah, the year they went to the

941
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: conference finals with Kevin Garnett. They've made the playoffs a

942
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: bunch of times, but the only time they've won a

943
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: round on was that What was that four? I think

944
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: something like that. That was a long time ago. But

945
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: no one celebrates minor victories more than the Minnesota Timberwolves.

946
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: We had Pat beb on the table when they advanced

947
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: out of the play in tournament. We had Cat over

948
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: the summer saying that getting out of the play in

949
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: was more impressive than the Nuggets winning the title. This

950
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: might be the biggest possible celebration if they win. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

951
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: for sure, it's a good one.

952
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: I didn't think about them as a funny team.

953
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: Like people would be like this is a stepping stone

954
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: for Anthony first the ist, getting those crunch time reps.

955
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: Now he's ready for the.

956
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: Really amazing if like one of these players that's always

957
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: in trade rumors, like a star of his level balls

958
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 3: out in the N season tournament games, wins the MVP

959
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: yor is on the old tournament team, and then the

960
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 3: team turns around and trades them the next day because

961
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: it's like his value is at an all time high. Amazing,

962
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 3: Like while he's partying in Vegas, Oh damn, checks his phone,

963
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: I've been traded to the next all right, So the

964
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 3: Wolves at number two. Who is the funniest team in

965
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 3: your mind to win the N Season Tournament.

966
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: It's the La Clippers. Yep, no titles in their franchise history,

967
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: very little playoff success, banded some nice runs with the

968
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: Chris Paul Blake Griffin teams, but generally kind of minor

969
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: historical importance from the Clippers, and it's usually bad stuff

970
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: that they bring up. Also, this is a team that

971
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: no one trusts to show up in the postseason, whether

972
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: via injuries, performance, what have you. Also a team that

973
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of has come to embody not caring about the

974
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: regular season but what if things break right for just

975
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: a couple of games and the Clippers get to hang

976
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: a banner in the crypto dot com arena right before

977
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: they're leaving. Hey, keep that ist up, Keep it up?

978
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: Would be back to check. I wouldn't take it to

979
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: the New Dome. They gotta hang something, man, they gotta

980
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: hang something. The Lakers got so many banners hanging. The

981
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: Clippers would love to put what up be a title

982
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: for James Harden, oh Westbrook, for George Yeah, come on,

983
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: this would be awesome.

984
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I like that list. I would like to

985
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 3: make a case for either the Celtics or Lakers winning

986
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: this though, because they're tied in NBA championships right at seventeen,

987
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: so they're both racing to banner eighteen the most all time.

988
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 3: This is like a half if you win this. Yeah,

989
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 3: so it would put you ahead.

990
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: In my mind.

991
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I like your list. Let Trey Kirby know

992
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 3: who he's missing on the funniest team to win this

993
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 3: in season tournament. Let us know in the stream, team,

994
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: let us know in the comments. Tweet at us at

995
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 3: no dungk sink. All right, man, Wow, we just did

996
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 3: way more than I thought we would on the ist.

997
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like a five right now, I think so.

998
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm.

999
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 3: Super excited for this. All right, we're gonna take one

1000
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: more break when we come back. Tweeted the night and

1001
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: rapid firefun. Okay, back here in the classic factory. Let's

1002
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 3: get to tweet of the night.

1003
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 4: Tweet over now, Wow, twet.

1004
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 3: Of the night goes to me sort of. I found

1005
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 3: a great photo. I believe it came from ESPN. It

1006
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 3: was going around the internets yesterday. It was James Harden

1007
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: who had a press conference with the Clippers yesterday and said, quote,

1008
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm not a system player, I am a system bars

1009
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 3: and he had a lot to say about, you know,

1010
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 3: being on a leash in Philadelphia, and watch out what

1011
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna do here with the clips, you know. I

1012
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: tweeted there reminiscent of Jay Z's I'm not a businessman.

1013
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: I'm a business man. But I also like this from

1014
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 3: Jason Gallagher, I am a system Walter White, I am

1015
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 3: the one who knocks at his James Harden right now,

1016
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 3: what do you.

1017
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: Think of the press conference there? From Jimmy Well, I

1018
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 1: think it's good for him that he's going to be

1019
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: the number one option on this team. He's a system man,

1020
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: so it's going to be completely built around him, not

1021
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: the guys who have been there for four years. No,

1022
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know. You can tell with the way

1023
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: that things went down at the end that Harden, despite

1024
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: leading the league and assists last year, probably didn't want

1025
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: to lead the league assistant. But then he's also saying

1026
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: this press conference like, I don't need to be a

1027
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: big time scorer after allegedly telling im, okay, you wanted

1028
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: to lead the league in scoring. So who knows. He

1029
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: just wants to add the ball in his hands and

1030
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: make some decisions here. But I don't know. We didn't

1031
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: really talk about it. Skeets like, do you think this

1032
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: actually gives the Clippers a chance to win the n

1033
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: season tournament? I'm kidding the NBA Championship at the end

1034
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: of the year, adding Harden. Adding Harden, I don't think it. No,

1035
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: I don't think it changes much.

1036
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: I know that's a very mild and boring take, but

1037
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: I thought that the Clippers are obviously a good team,

1038
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 3: but I didn't ever have them in a championship conversation

1039
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 3: adding Harden. It doesn't make them worse. It's not like

1040
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 3: they gave up a lot. It's not like, oh my god,

1041
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: they'll miss Batoomb and Covington.

1042
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: And more like. No, I don't feel like that at all.

1043
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: So Harden is still a good player.

1044
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 3: And as I said the other day, it's like the

1045
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 3: guy was pretty damn good in some playoffs. So he'll

1046
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 3: have those moments, but then he'll shoot you out of

1047
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: games and and he'll go missing and he'll miss shots

1048
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 3: at the end, and like people will pile on them.

1049
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 3: Like I guess, my answer is it doesn't change much

1050
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 3: to me.

1051
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of with you.

1052
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 3: I'm not rooting against him though, and nor Westbrook or

1053
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 3: any of those guys, So just wait and see.

1054
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that like in the Western Conference, you

1055
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: gotta beat Denver, right, Denver is the team to beat,

1056
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: And I don't think this puts them ahead of Denver.

1057
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: But maybe some other team beats Denver that clears the

1058
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: way for sure Clippers team. So for me, I'm like,

1059
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: they had a zero out of one hundred percent chance

1060
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: before the hard and trade. Now they've got like a

1061
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: one out of one hundred chance.

1062
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: Okay, let's wrap up this Strop podcast. This classic with

1063

Speaker 1: Back people up, So yeah, give me that.

1084
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 3: I also have a very flat ass, so this would

1085
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: be freaky back.

1086
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: But I have camel one of the funniest photos of

1087
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: all time. We're showing here on YouTube for your podcast listeners.

1088

00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 3: big old bubble button.

1090
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: I remember when he played that gaming short. I was

1091
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: surprised they let him do it.

1092
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 3: But those are my City edition in Jerseys.

1093
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you got? I also need to help

1094
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: in the chest region, not hard nipples. But I just

1095
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: flexed my chest. Nothing happened to me too. Yeah, so

1096
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I could go for some peck pads.

1097
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: They sort of have those, right, like some of the

1098
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 3: guys well like maybe I'm thinking more like the pads

1099
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 3: on the quads. Yeah, some of those shirts those guys

1100
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 3: wear have a built in little chest protector type thing.

1101
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah, yeah, you're right, they probably do have like

1102
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: chest protection. I'm not looking for protection thought. This is

1103
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: curios and I want them to look muscular. And if

1104
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: it includes some shoulder work because I got some slope,

1105
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: that would be fine with me as well. All right,

1106
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: and JD, what about you?

1107
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,640

1120
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: he flies toward the basket to dunk the ball. I

1121
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:56,840

1122
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: I probably probably probably. Anyway, the question is, what's something
