Speaker 1: he is here, we are. Hello to everybody on YouTube.

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Hello podcast listeners. On today's podcast, we're going to analyze

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: the NBA's sixty five game award rule. We're going to

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: debate who deserves the number one pick in the draft,

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about matt Ishbia wanting to throw a

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: million dollars around to the contest winners at All Star

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Weekend with hopes to get the Stars to compete. So

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: lots of tackle in truer false later. But let's begin

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: with the games, and we'll start with the Denver Nuggets

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: taking care of business in the second half, beating the

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Celtics Yokic thirty points as the Nuggets won one o

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: three p eighty four tests over Boston. So the Celtics

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: were trying to complete that perfect road trip but come

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: up short in this last one. Maybe that was a

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: part of it, that last game, the cultitude of Denver.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: But this was a sort of an offensive slot here.

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: It's more of a defensive minded yeah. Not a lot

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: of shots being made.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: And that's why it makes you think that the Nuggets

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: can get to the NBA Finals if they can have

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: defensive performances like this, because we know their offense is

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: going to cook when Jokic is right. They're the number

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: one offense in the league. They just need some of

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: these defensive performances. And I thought their point of attack

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: defense was pretty important to get them going. I thought

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: it started in the second quarter when Bruce Brown was

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: going at Peyton Pritchell and they slowed Peyton Pritchill down,

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: who did have a very good game.

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: And it continued in the.

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: Third quarter on Jolen Brown, who is John Brown and

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: is that good? So you got to throw different bodies.

41
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: Adam Christian Brown started. I think he is a good

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: Phish player and car will guard guys one on one

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: when it comes to the postseason, like he did against

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards in the past, but then they throw a

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: bigger guy and Spencer Jones had a little taller guy,

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: real tall in those andiums, and they were able to

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: slow him down just enough to have a bad night.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: But as you said, maybe it's the Celtics not having

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: a perfect road trip. Just going three and one that's

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: pretty solids. Maybe they just all were at the end

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: of their road trip and just had a bad night.

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 3: So I think it's it's a good thing from the

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: Nuggets side to get this done with Jamal Murray leaving

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: in the second half and not even playing most of

55
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: the second half because of that illness they had, but

56
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: getting it done defensively, they want some ugly games in

57
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: the twenty three finals against the Miami Heat. That's who

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: they are at times. They just got to slug it

59
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: out and they did. I think they got a bunch

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: of perimeter guys that can help out.

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: What did you think.

62
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: I thought the Celtics got tutored and booted. The altitude

63
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 5: was too much for him. This was a one point

64
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: game with two minutes left in the third quarter, and

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 5: then Denver immediately went on a fifteen to zero run

66
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 5: and that was the game.

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: They got every rebound.

68
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 5: Celtics couldn't really generate a good look, and when they

69
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 5: were they were missing layups inside.

70
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: And then Denver was smart.

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 5: They realized Celtics were getting tired, grabbed the board, push

72
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 5: it the other way.

73
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: Every single time.

74
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: You had Joe Mizula calling like almost back to back

75
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 5: timeouts after Spencer Jones was going wild on the break. Yeah,

76
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 5: Tim Hardaway finding I'm watching Spencer Jones's ankles every time

77
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 5: he goes down. If this guy sprains an ankle, I

78
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: will know. But it was good for Denver. Yeah, they

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 5: outscored the Celtics by twenty in the last fourteen minutes

80
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 5: of this game. You mentioned no Jamal Murray out there

81
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: in the second half. Boston shot twenty eight percent from

82
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: the field, had eight assists and only four turnovers in

83
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: the second half. They looked like they just completely wore out.

84
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 5: It's like they were playing at altitude on the second

85
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 5: night of a back to back. It would ever take

86
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: them in and pick.

87
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: Them, that's right, right, Yeah, fatigue did seem to show

88
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: there for them. They got tired.

89
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Even though Jalen Brown came back because he had the

90
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: game off, really the night before.

91
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: He didn't play in that. I guess it was the

92
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Phoenix game, so you know, he didn't have as much

93
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: excuse maybe as some as the other guys.

94
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, Denver, good team, like you said, they did

95
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: it defensively, yo, get struggled, right, He shot eleven of

96
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight. The three ball was not really falling for

97
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: him though. He hit a stupid crazy one. I think

98
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: was that early in the in the game and early

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: in the first Yeah. Right, the started gaming right where

100
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: he was just in the corner. They played great defense

101
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: for like twenty three point nine seconds and then he's like, ah,

102
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: I'll just hit this fading one footed corner three, bang

103
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: that home. But he did help that that run that

104
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: you said there tray at the end of the third quarter,

105
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: that like eleven to zero run. That took him into

106
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the fourth and then other guys stepped up. Tim Hardaway

107
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Junior he had a fourteen points. I bring him up because, uh,

108
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: this guy had two dunks in the.

109
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: Same game, yep, very rare.

110
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: And then he had another one where he like attacked,

111
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: he spun kissed it off the glass. You don't see

112
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Tim Harley driving all that much. Few of them in transition,

113
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: but that one was special. But nobody wanted to talk to.

114
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: Him after the game. Do you see this going around?

115
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: He went into the press room.

116
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: You know, they got the table set up and the

117
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: mic and all the chairs for the media. Tim Hardaway

118
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: Junior walks in. There's nobody in the room, or nobody

119
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: at least wanting to ask him a question.

120
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: There was maybe one reporter there, like Lisa, you got

121
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: any question? She's like, nah, it's just.

122
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: Those dogs. Yeah, it was. It was good. Hardaway outscored

123
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: the Boston bench.

124
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: I mean, Boston got a few points at the end

125
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: when it was garbage time. For sure, Valentunis outscored the

126
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 5: Boston bench by himself. This was just the one team

127
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: was fresher than the other to me, and the Celtics

128
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 5: had a great road.

129
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 4: Trip all things consider.

130
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: But uh yeah, I mean to win like this, if

131
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 5: you're the Nuggets, you got to be feeling good about it.

132
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: Not a great game for Booch Doug out there, No, no,

133
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: he won for seven, gave up a ton of offensive rebounds,

134
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 5: and you know, Jokic maybe didn't have the greatest shooting night,

135
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: but he did hit two threes right in Booch's face,

136
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 5: you know, I think looks good against bad teams, and

137
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 5: it's a little different. They were trying to double big lineup,

138
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 5: trying to let him guard Jokic and Cada was kind

139
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 5: of like the help guy. And I don't know if

140
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: that's necessarily something you want to do going forward in

141
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: the playoffs, but worth it last night to give it

142
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 5: a shot. It's just that just schedule loss for me,

143
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: for Boston, that's all it was.

144
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were dumb taking Boston. We just got those

145
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: points and when we did our pick them the four

146
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: and a half points, figured they could lose by four.

147
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 3: But also on the other side, the Nuggets always respond

148
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 3: to a bad performance. So they lost the game before

149
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: that on Monday night. We knew that coming in. They

150
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: did the same thing coming out of the All Star

151
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: Game loss, respond with a fifty point win against the

152
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: Portland Trail Lasers. Then they lost and this happened. So

153
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: they do know how to respond. They have enough depth.

154
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: Tim Hardaway is having his best season. Their benches. You

155
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: know that I mentioned the Bruce Brown thing. I think

156
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: they are just part of this entire atmosphere, this family

157
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 3: type environment that beat the Celtics in this game forty

158
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: two to seventeen from the bench. They don't turn it

159
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: over a lot. You know, they didn't kill them on

160
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: the fast break. It was fourteen to six. But everybody

161
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: working together, and it's likely. And listen that Jokic shot

162
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: early in the game, that was art. I mean, he

163
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: is literally he loses the ball and then he finds

164
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: it and he lets it rip and Peyton Watson his

165
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: back there. He's got you know, one of the best

166
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: smiles in the NBA is smiling at it on the bench.

167
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: So I think they just got it going on.

168
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: He even laughed and laughed at Jamal Murray wouldn't get

169
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: over the rim on that first possession, kind of laid

170
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: it in.

171
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Dah.

172
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're good, They're they're doing all right.

173
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Well, Jamal Murray did have excuse and you mentioned it earlier.

174
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: He only played eight minutes due to illness and then

175
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: did not return. Nuggets coach David Audelman was asked about

176
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: his illness. He said, quote, he looked awful. They gave

177
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: him all the medication. It did not help. All kinds

178
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: of bodily things were happening.

179
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

180
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, people were saying whoa hippa privacy hippa violation. There

181
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: maybe a little too much information. I mean I think

182
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: he had the you have the shits and diarrhea, that's

183
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: what sounds like to me. Yeah, right, bodily fluids or things.

184
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: I guess his wordy.

185
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, he had some sort of some

186
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: sort of illness because he literally couldn't get up over

187
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: the rim on the first possession. The guy can dunk

188
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: the ball, but he couldn't do it. So I don't

189
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: think it's just going out the one end. Other issues

190
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: as well. I guess a lot of bodily fluds either way.

191
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: We're talking about injuries specifically injuries. There was the Jason

192
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 3: Tatum report from Shansharana saying he's practicing five on five

193
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: full practices. A lot of these reports are just virtually

194
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: the same that he's playing in five and five. But

195
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: it's getting closer. He's two hundred and ninety days since

196
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: he was injured, nine months.

197
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: It's happening at some point.

198
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: It's just when, Yeah, and to how much time for

199
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Do they hope to get him out there

200
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: and start getting some reps with some of these guys.

201
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see.

202
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: All right, Okay, I saw people speculating that Tatum will

203
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: come back on March fourteenth. Three fourteen, which is the

204
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: area code for Saint Louis, which is the exact contract

205
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: he took. He took a million less so he could

206
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 5: get three fourteen. Well, this is a contract and it's

207
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: against the Wizards. Good team to come back against it,

208
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 5: ask Jonathan Kamingo.

209
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, right, right. So he's really into numerology, is he?

210
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

211
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: And financial literacy okay, okay, he took.

212
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: Three fourteenth, so have three hundred and fifteen?

213
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: No?

214
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: Wow?

215
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I yeah, okay, So you're you're maybe predicting a March

216
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: fourteenth return potatom Hey look.

217
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think people are also speculating that he

218
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: was going to come back for what is this game

219
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: against the Sixers?

220
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: When is that game that's on March first?

221
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 5: Because that one got flexed, right, like NBC moved the

222
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: time back to make it it was supposed to be

223
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: at six pm, now it's at eight pm or something

224
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: like that.

225
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: He had the huge All Star Games feature.

226
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: Look how hard this guy's working, So you can make

227
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: a case for any game that he's coming ba.

228
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: But we feel.

229
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Confident he returns in march. It sounds yeah, he's a

230
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: march man. He's a march man.

231
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, the mixer's game is perfect because he

232
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: can play in that one then sit on the second

233
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: half of the back back, which is the next game,

234
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,119
Speaker 3: because it's one of those flexers.

235
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 5: Soon enough here, what would you have asked Tim Hardaway

236
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: Junior in the press conference?

237
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: Well, I would have asked about the dunks you were

238
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 4: doing them dunks?

239
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I was just like, can you remember any

240
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: other game from your career we had two dunks and

241
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 1: seeing I honestly can't. And you know me, I'm the

242
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: biggest two Hardaway Junior family one man. Uh.

243
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: And then my follow up question is when will you

244
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: go for fifty points in one game?

245
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Man? This guy named Skeets has been saying it for

246
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: like ten years now, and you're gonna pop off one

247
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: of these nights.

248
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 5: You can do it late in the season here, one

249
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 5: of these nonsense games at the end of the year.

250
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 5: Still believes how many dunks you think he's got this year?

251
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: It's probably more than I would think obviously, Ah, fifteen, y, nice, thirteen, Ok.

252
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's thormed on some dunks all right, we had

253
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: as many.

254
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: Dunks taller guy, I guess it shouldn't be that surprising

255
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: to you, but yeah, he's just such a three points yes, yeah,

256
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: honestly the score outside. All right, let's talk about the

257
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Bucks squeaking by the Cavaliers one eighteen one sixteen Porter Rollins,

258
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: two of your guys task that you like to bring

259
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: up with Milwaukee. They played well and they did survive here.

260
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Jared Allen had a shot right at the

261
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: end at the buzzer beater. Uh, he thought it was good,

262
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: and they sort of reacted like they were going to overtime.

263
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: They took a lot look at it and it was

264
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: pretty obviously still in his hand. So Milwaukee gets another

265
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: victory here and they are, I believe, one game out

266
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: of the play in. Uh maybe potentially Yan is coming back.

267
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get fearful for the Detroit Pistons here suddenly,

268
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: if they're the number one seed all season long, and

269
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: then like Giannis returns and the Bucks maybe you get

270
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: the eight seat.

271
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: But I'm looking ahead too far. Let's talk about this game.

272
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: Well, it's an incredible season for Jannis in every way,

273
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: shape and form, because he sits out and the team

274
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: is playing their best ball without him, the guys that

275
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: he really needs if they're going to do anything playing

276
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: their best ball. They're eight and two and their last ten.

277
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: And he's also been able to get all the fans

278
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: to support him after that up and down the beginning

279
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: of the season.

280
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: Well he wants a trade. Oh he's not being.

281
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: Traded, but now he can come back. I think and

282
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 3: feel pretty comfortable going into the postseason. They don't do

283
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 3: anything really great in the postseason and ask for a

284
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: trade simply maybe not really verbally asked for trade, but

285
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 3: get his agent to get him a trade. So I

286
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: think his fans will always love him even if he

287
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 3: does that. So it just feels like so perfect in

288
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 3: every way, shape or form.

289
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: Off the court.

290
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: The guy feels free and easy, the most free he's

291
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: ever felt to do what he wants since he's been

292
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: out invested in Calshi, invested in the Chelsea women's soccer team,

293
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: invested in gummies that look like his face, and he

294
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: feels free to say whatever he wants too this season,

295
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: literally say whatever he wants.

296
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan's number one in scoring.

297
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm gonna go get that guy. I can

298
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: get him, no problem, I'll catch him. Fans boo him,

299
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: he says, when they boo, I boo him right back.

300
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just so comfortable and I think he'll

301
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: be looked at forever in Milwaukee, even if he does

302
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: leave as the guy. So it feels like everything's just

303
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 3: working out. This team is not going to win in

304
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs. They're not beating the Pistons, okay, but at

305
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: least they can get there. And I just feel like

306
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: it's it's justifiable now for him to say, all right,

307
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: I'm done because we gave it one more shot.

308
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: I'm good.

309
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: Interesting.

310
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a season, it's the season for giantis in every way,

311
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: shape or for him. He wants to win.

312
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: He's making investments, he's talking. No, he's not gonna win,

313
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: and that's why I think the fans have to support him.

314
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 3: They have to at the end of the day. Yeah,

315
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: that the best player that's ever played for the Bucks.

316
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know.

317
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: But if you demand a trade and you leave, like

318
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: if he, if he got dealt, there would be plenty

319
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: of hate. I hate if you got dealt before the

320
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: trade deadline, there will be plenty.

321
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: Of you're swerving here, hard though on me, like you're

322
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: LaMelo in a car. Yeah no, because I said that, Sason,

323
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I understand that. But you've also said many times this

324
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: idea of like Giannis wants to see some growth with

325
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: this team, special these young guys, these guards, and like

326
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: the idea of convincing him, so to speak, that maybe

327
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: there's something here and we have draft capital we could

328
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: use and maybe trying out of the roster. So like

329
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: it's funny to me, like they're actually playing well, and

330
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: but you're now saying it's more even still likely that

331
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe he'll be like, eh, I'm out here anyway, you've

332
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: just tricked me here.

333
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Well, he's always left the door open, and I, as

334
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 3: a fellow Greek, have always been comfortable saying that the

335
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: door is open. They're not going to win this postseason.

336
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: They may, as far as the front office goes, go

337
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: trade one of their draft picks to get somebody. But

338
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: things are just all coming together for him to be

339
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: able to say I'm done, we ain't winning, It's time

340
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: for me to go the Knicks.

341
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: But that's why my counter is they actually are winning

342
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: some here. Like if it was the opposite and they

343
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: were continuing to lose every single game and there was

344
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: no hope. Then yeah, Okay, he's probably leaving. I still

345
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: think he will leave, but at least at least you

346
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: can squint and go or talk yourself into this idea

347
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: of like, maybe these guys are growing and maybe there's

348
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: some talent here, and once I get back, it's a

349
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: little different story, That's all I'm saying.

350
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's that possibility.

351
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: The game itself, takeaways and the James Harden of it all,

352
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: who has a right thumb fracture and didn't play in

353
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: this game though he's going to continue to try and

354
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: play through the rest of the season.

355
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna play eventually, and I think the Calves

356
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 5: will be fine. They also traded for Dennis Shruder Kean Ellis.

357
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: We know Jalen Tyson's minutes have gone down a little

358
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 5: bit with Mobley coming back, with Harden being there, Sam

359
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: Merrill was back playing last night. There's gonna be more

360
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 5: opportunities for these guys hard and fit in instantly with

361
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 5: the Calves. So maybe the biggest downside for them is

362
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 5: that if he has to deal with any sort of

363
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: minutes restriction, I mean, it's his offhand. I can't really

364
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: imagine it's gonna be that big of a deal. But

365
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 5: maybe he'll have to sit some sometimes if he gets

366
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 5: hit or something like that.

367
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: Then JB.

368
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 5: Bickerstaff doesn't have a chance to like figure out his

369
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: rotations perfectly. But this doesn't seem like a huge concern

370
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 5: to me for the Calves. They could have won last

371
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 5: night if Jared Allen gets the ball off of his

372
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: long finger a little bit earlier, or if Dennis Shruder

373
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: makes a pretty makeable layup right before Jared Allen got

374
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: the rebound. But this was a nice win for the Bucks.

375
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: I thought Jercho Simms played awesome. Eleven points, eleven boards,

376
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: a couple assists, and four screen assists. Oh, he was

377
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: setting some monster screens out there. But Rollins and Kevin

378
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 5: Porter Junior, they're playing really well together right now. They

379
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: both had some time out this season, Porter more so

380
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: than Rollins, but they can both like get to the basket,

381
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: they can both shoot from outside, Rollins competes on the

382
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: defensive end. They seem like a good match. And with

383
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: this little bit of a winning patch here, you know,

384
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: I think the Bucks have had their first and second

385
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: three game win streak of the season. During this eight

386
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 5: out of ten stretch, it makes you think Giannis is

387
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 5: gonna come back.

388
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

389
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: I think that's interesting because when they were really struggling

390
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 5: before the trade deadlines, like why would they even bring

391
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: this guy back unless he wants to play, which he's

392
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: going to want to play, But now there's at least

393
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 5: something to play for all play and birth.

394
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 4: It's not that exciting.

395
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: But the Bucks have you know, been lower seeded in

396
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference regardless, so it feels like there's very

397
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 5: few breadcrumbs. I guess he told some kid on the sideline,

398
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: you'll be out another four weeks. But I'm like reading

399
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: through the Eric Name articles over at the Athletic and

400
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: he says in one of his last paragraphs when Giannis

401
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: comes back, just says it like it's known business there.

402
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: So he'll come back eventually and at least makes the

403
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 5: play and exciting. Yes, yeah, which are usually brutal games.

404
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: Yea, the biggest moment play in history.

405
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: Well that's what's wanting a three pointer over the Warriors

406
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: that comes behind d r R.

407
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bucks will be fine when their m v

408
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: P type player does come back for the play, and

409
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 3: he will. He did post something where he was working out.

410
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: I am not familiar with everything he posts on social

411
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: media because this year he has curated it in a

412
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: very different way.

413
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: That's part of his m O.

414
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: He says what he wants, he curates the way he wants.

415
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 3: He's been deleting a bunch of his old Bucks posts

416
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: and all that he deletes, even his sponsor posts. I

417
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: think the Calcy thing is well. I think he loves

418
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: his gummies. He keeps hosting those guys. I don't know

419
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: why they didn't send us setting, but yeah, those ones

420
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 3: that look like his face either way.

421
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 2: I think it's over.

422
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: Four weeks since he diagnosed himself when he said post Yeah,

423
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 3: he said I'm out four to six weeks essentially, so

424
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 3: it's been over four weeks. I think he's coming back

425
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: pretty soon to be with a pretty good team that

426
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: did beat a Cavs team without Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, and

427
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: without Evan Mobley and this Dennis Shruder who is a

428
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 3: perfect fill in for James Harden, just to throw him

429
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: out there and be a lead guy. And yeah, he

430
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: had a good game. He did miss that layup that

431
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: just rimmed out. He shouldn't missed that, but yeah, James

432
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: Harden is not going to be out a very long time,

433
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: simple as that.

434
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jeff's thoughts of in Street Close said, it's a

435
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: it's a non displaced injury, right, so it's like the

436
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: tip of his thumb on his offhand.

437
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 4: As you said, try the failings, as he said.

438
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, Players to suffer this type of injury

439
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: and avoid surgery miss an average of six and a

440
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: half games approximately seventeen days. Again that Jeff stots, He's

441
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: got the database for all all this stuff, right, sort

442
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of even feels like it might be less than that,

443
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: just the way they're sort of approaching it and talking

444
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: about it. But maybe he gets a couple of games

445
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: off here and is back before we know it, and

446
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: we'll see if it impacts them or not. I think

447
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: it's just like more than anything. It's like you could

448
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: re injure it or make it worse swiping out a

449
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: ball on the defensive end, though you know, maybe Harden's

450
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: not doing that a whole lot either.

451
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 4: Will it affect the offense probably not, I don't think so.

452
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: Ideally, you want more chemistry.

453
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: I think with him and Evan Mobley is specifically like

454
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 3: those guys, it is going to be mid March when

455
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: he comes back. But if he does come back and

456
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 3: approximately estimating on these the fulangies, the bones has just

457
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: his thoughts, calls.

458
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: Them in his hand.

459
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: Yet it's at a tip of his thumb, so it'll

460
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 3: be mid march. Chemistry is important, we know. Yeah, so

461
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't need to come back at some point.

462
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 5: It seems like you'll have a weird looking thumb at

463
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 5: the end of it. I think those non displaced fractures

464
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 5: are like where your knuckle gets knocked out of line,

465
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: and like, that's got I got a weird pinky, right,

466
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 5: I started generating a well, yeah, you got one there.

467
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so two out of ten for me. I wonder

468
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: what hardens are like.

469
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: It's gonna be like the opposite of a hitchhiker thumb

470
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: might be a problem when you're counting the hundreds.

471
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, can you do this for me? You make it

472
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: for me, please?

473
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 3: But isn't it the actual tip of the thumb. It

474
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: doesn't involve the actual the knuckle.

475
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: Who knows, I'm not.

476
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 5: I don't have the database. I just got the fingers.

477
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 5: I just got the fingers to look at the other

478
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 5: question I had for you, guys, Sam.

479
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: Merrill and A. J.

480
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 5: Green were playing in this game Spider Man meme, are

481
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 5: you more of a Sam Merril or an AJ Green?

482
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 6: Guy?

483
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

484
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: Expect to be asked guarding each other a ton. They

485
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: play quite similarly.

486
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: I guess guy because he's got a better nickname, great

487
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: nicknamy bird.

488
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: And we came up with the you know, the milking. Yeah,

489
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 4: so I'll just go him. Really, but I wonder if

490
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: Sam Merril is better.

491
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: He's a little better.

492
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a little better three point shooter. But AJ

493
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: Green has the advantage. Number one, I like the higher

494
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: release point. It's a little bit higher, so you might

495
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: get off one that you get your body into a

496
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 3: little bit easier. And second, his arms look great on camera. Yeah,

497
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: in compared to Sam Marril, he's got the bot of

498
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: a farmer. They call him Gary Bird.

499
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: That's right, he's throwing around.

500
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going. We took some weird

501
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: tangents on that game. The Spurs overcome Wemby's pretty rough night.

502
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: They beat our raptors one ten one oh seven. San

503
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs have extended their wind streak to ten straight.

504
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Get it started on your thoughts on this one.

505
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: Well, the start was the Wemby versus Barnes experience, because

506
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: early in this game, Scotty tried to punch one down

507
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: on Wemby, but Wemby baited him turned his back to Wemby.

508
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: All right, he turned his back to Barnes, and Scotty thought, okay,

509
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: this is my time. I'm going to go into it.

510
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 3: But he knew that Barnes was coming, so he turned

511
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: around and blocked them. Then Barnes got him back with

512
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: that turnaround fade away at the end of the second quarter.

513
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 3: He said, okay, I'll take it out even further when

514
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: we can't guard me a three point line. Then when

515
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: we blocked his ass at the three point line. So

516
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: great little back and forth there, but play the game

517
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: was minute thirty left wraps down to just need one

518
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: more stop and turn this around and we can tie

519
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: this game. Darren Fox was in the corner with RJ

520
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Barrett on him, and Darren Fox just kind of lost

521
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 3: the ball and it kind of rolled a little bit

522
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: towards the corner and he went and picked it up

523
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: as RJ. Barrett dove and he was able to shoot

524
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: over the corner of the backboard that was an incredible shot.

525
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: Everybody on the bench saying, hey, that was a travel,

526
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: but he kind of just rolled it there. He didn't

527
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 3: really dribble it and go back and get it. So

528
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 3: that was just a beautiful shot. Then it's a four

529
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: point lead. Then RJ Barrett went in and out on

530
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: one end and Scuttie Barnes ripped it from Daron Fox

531
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: at the other end, looked him right in the face.

532
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: But it had already become a four point lead.

533
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: But they tried that fast break and then Brandon Inger

534
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: went to Perl instead of to Rjie Barrett on the

535
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: perimeter who just missed one.

536
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: And then Pearl gets swatted by Victoria. But ye, game over, baby,

537
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: But the reps.

538
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean this first missed a lot of free throws

539
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: to give me even more chances to try and either

540
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: get it to overtime. I mean, Brandon Ingram had a

541
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: pretty good look in the corner and he Paul georgeed

542
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: it off the side of the back or two backboards.

543
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was not great there.

544
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: And then they rebounded.

545
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: The Spurs were able to rebound that free throw and

546
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: able to overcome it the missed free throws.

547
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 2: But either way, the Reps just.

548
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: Can't always execute down the stretch to perfection.

549
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: We are the worst good team in the league. I

550
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: have no faith in this team come a playoff series.

551
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: I mean, they're going to be there. That's maybe was

552
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: shocking to some people thinking this was going to be

553
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: a very bad year. So it's cool that they're probably

554
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna be in a playoff series. I don't think they'll

555
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: be have a home court advantage in a playoff series

556
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: at this point, but whatever. But I don't have hopes

557
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: that they're going to get by a first round.

558
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: He yeah, teams are going at brandon Ingram on the

559
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: other end in the last couple of minutes, trying to

560
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: get the best shot that they can and the Reps

561
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: and not executing.

562
00:23:58,680 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: Quickly and the clocks.

563
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: Our guy Will Lou he crashed out hard on last

564
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: night's Hello and Welcome Raptors recap podcast, and all of

565
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: it was completely warranted. He hit on three things that

566
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: were driving him nuts, and the biggest one was Darko's

567
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: lineup at the start of the fourth quarter. He has

568
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: done this multiple times and it's perplexing and it backfires

569
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a lot. The Raptors have given up something like five

570
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: double digit fourth quarter leads. It's the most in the leak,

571
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: and it happened in this one. They were up sort

572
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: of big right starting the fourth and they go with Shed, RJ. Barrett,

573
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Walter CMB and Mamu and the Spurs, who are sort

574
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: of looking dead in the water don't have a lot going.

575
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: Wemby starts the quarter because they know they realize, well,

576
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: it's probably here or not happening tonight, right, and they

577
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: ripped off a seven zero run just like that, and

578
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: it was it's sort of infuriating.

579
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: It's like, there was no.

580
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Reason Barnes should have not been out there because he

581
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: had sat at the end of the third quarter. You

582
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: got to play a little bit more matching there in

583
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: that situation. And then the Spurs right back into it

584
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: and it's just like immediately back into the game and

585
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: Darko was done this time and time again.

586
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: So that was frustrating. The other thing is RJ.

587
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: Barrett, despite scoring, which he can do if you watch

588
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, he had so many defensive lapses where

589
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: he is just it's just sort of clueless defensively, like

590
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: he just like I think he's like it looks like

591
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: the type of players just thinking about the offensive end

592
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: when he's on defense and it bit them in the

593
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: ass a couple of times, leaving like wide open shooters

594
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: on the spurs not maybe like getting not getting dirty

595
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 1: for some of these offensive rebound or defensive rebound attempts

596
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: off misfree throws, like if you watch RJ. Barrett on

597
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: the defensive end, it's inferiating. And the other part is

598
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: Scotty Barnes, he has way too many right now, what

599
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: do you do in turnovers? This guy tried to throw

600
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: like two times no look passes in this game. Just look, man,

601
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: you're not white chocolate man. You Like it was like

602
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: these were early in the game, so I didn't have

603
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: a crazy impact, but like what is he doing, Like

604
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: you're not you don't need to be doing that. He's

605
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: trying to like make these like cool look away passes.

606
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: They're getting like the and picked off like maybe look.

607
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: So those were the three things that will lure really

608
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: hard on. I couldn't agree more having watched this game

609
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: late last night because of Survivor. It's they're just they're

610
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: it's they're you know what. The darker part of it

611
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: all is infuriating. That lineup was stupid and he's done

612
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: it a couple of times now and rant.

613
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are the and they can't be good team.

614
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: They've scored the third fewest points in fourth quarters in

615
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 3: the NBA. I know it's way worse against the good teams,

616
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: but that's a sign they they just don't score on

617
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 3: fourth quarters.

618
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 4: Why is that though, because they it's Brandon Ingram bail

619
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: us out.

620
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: Honestly, this team reminds me so much of Raptors pre

621
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, like like that was like sort of, you know, good,

622
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: so to speak, but not great by any means, Like

623
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: they need somebody like that, like the the Ingram Deroze.

624
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: In comparisons, they're sort of there to me, Scotty like

625
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: he's still growing. You think he's adding to his obviously

626
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: his package, and he is an All Star and he's

627
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: a great player, awesome player and competes defensively and it's

628
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: going to be in the running for Defense Player of

629
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: the Year, but makes weird decisions.

630
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: To me at times.

631
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: And then the coaching of it all, I don't I

632
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: don't think he puts them in great opportunities at times

633
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: with some of these lineups in games that are there,

634
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: like the Raptors are off like two days now, like

635
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: they should be going for that win. That would have

636
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: been maybe like a marquee win for them this season.

637
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: Snap the win streak, you know, use that momentum to

638
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: try and get ready here for the playoffs. And they

639
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: just keep losing a good team and they sort of

640
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: keeps shooting themselves in the foot. It's stuff they can

641
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: control that they like. For whatever reason, they're not backing up.

642
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: So again, I have very little faith in this team

643
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: come the postseason. If they're playing who they're.

644
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: Going to be playing right now, it would be Cleveland. Yeah,

645
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 4: they're gonna be playing the Cavs.

646
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Maybe, uh, maybe the Sixers, I guess would be a possibility.

647
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Nicks could be Nick Celtics, I guess still if they slip,

648
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be I'll be I'll be shocked if

649
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: it goes six With way the way they look to

650
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: me right.

651
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, with the way the offense is set up,

652
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: I think they just need somebody to touch paint a

653
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: little bit more often, to shrink the defense and just

654
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: get everything moving. Because Emmanuel quickly has done it at times,

655
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 3: but he really just stops and pops before he gets

656
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: into the lane with his free with his floater. You

657
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: just need more of what ideally what Jamal shed has done.

658
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: But at the same time he's a bit limited, so

659
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: you just need more of that. And I understand the

660
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: likeness to Kyle Lowry or somebody else who is just

661
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: able to run things, slash, get into the paint.

662
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, those what That's what the problems are.

663
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: The the every single offensive plan, every single possession is

664
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: just happening with fifteen seconds gone, already on the shot lock,

665
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: it's already time taken down. They got to get into

666
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: things faster, and a guy who gets to the paint faster, And.

667
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: There's no doubt.

668
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Bobby Webster I think, looked at this team at the

669
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: deadline was like, nah, we ain't doing anything this year,

670
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and maybe that's why they didn't try and address shooting,

671
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: which they desperately could use some of that size. Okay,

672
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: I got Trason Jackson Jackson Davis Like that was their

673
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: their move at the deadline here, So did nothing really

674
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: what I'm getting at, And maybe it was the right decision,

675
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: like because maybe it's like in this in this what

676
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: appears to still be an open Eastern Conference, we are

677
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: a tier or whatever, a tier and a half down from.

678
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 4: These elite teams. And he's right, He's definitely right.

679
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Just an infuriating another loss, because that's what that's a

680
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: game they should have won last night. I think uh

681
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: Duran Cunningham lead the Pistons pass the shorthanded thunder one

682
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty four one sixteen, I mean shorthanded tray.

683
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

684
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 5: I saw some Brooks, Barnheiser, Buddy Beheim lineups, the double

685
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 5: double bees. That's a lot of bees. Brooks, Barnheiser and

686
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: Buddy Beheim. But the three point shooting really kept Oklayholma

687
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: City in it. They made eighteen. The Pistons only made nine.

688
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: But I appreciated Detroit's ball movement twenty nine assists.

689
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 5: They found so many like tic tac toe passes, Caid

690
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: getting off the ball or early and then Duran finding

691
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 5: Asar Thompson or Ron Holland for a cut. No chat

692
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 5: out there, No, iHeart, Jay Will is not a rim protector.

693
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 5: He is a charge taker.

694
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: And clearly the Pistons understood what to do.

695
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: Seventy points in the paint versus only thirty two for

696
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 5: the thunder, fifty two to thirty seven on the rebounding.

697
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 5: They couldn't shoot the ball from outside, so they just

698
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 5: grabbed every offensive board and made as many layups as

699
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 5: they possibly could. It was pretty sweet for the Pistons,

700
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: even if this was a game that the thunderhead. I

701
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 5: think their top six scorers were missing by the end

702
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 5: of the game because even Isaiah Joe Si subbed out

703
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: of this game couldn't play. But one guy that stood

704
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 5: out to me was Asar Thompson. This guy deserves a

705
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 5: little bit more hype. Everybody talks about a men because

706
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 5: a men has a bigger role on the rockets and

707
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 5: looks like he might have a little bit more juice

708
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 5: handling the ball.

709
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 4: But Asar, to me, is like a star role player.

710
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: He's bought in completely.

711
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 5: Eleven points, four rebound, seven assists three, he steals two

712
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 5: blocks last night. People talk him up as maybe a

713
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 5: better defender than the men, but he definitely doesn't get

714
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 5: as much notoriety. But he was awesome last night, just

715
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 5: kind of being everywhere, like a super eggwa dollar type.

716
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: I had him in my notes too, because I thought

717
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: that was a great bounce back game from him after

718
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: he was benched in the second half against the Spurs,

719
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: and so I had my eye on him, and look,

720
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: teams are gonna leave him because they don't trust that

721
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: he can hit his shot.

722
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: You saw it last night. Okay, see they were just

723
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: dropping so far off him.

724
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: But he was operating a little bit more around the

725
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: free throw line. I know, I know he hit at

726
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: least one jumper there, if not too and was setting

727
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: up guys. So they were trusting him there, and you're

728
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to if they're gonna make any noise here.

729
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 4: He has to play.

730
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: He should play for his defensive acumen. But teams are

731
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: going to test him in the postseason. So yeah, you

732
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: don't need to be like necessarily a knockdown three point sho.

733
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: He's never going to be that. But you can still

734
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: operate with the ball, and you can still get to

735
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: the free throw line and obviously set guys up.

736
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 4: Unfortunately fifty seven percent at the free throw line.

737
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, I mean shooting around the free

738
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: actually jump for that one for four at the line. Last,

739
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to trust him with the ball a

740
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: little bit, and he's such an athlete that he should

741
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: be able to still make plays, especially when guys are

742
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: going to sag off. You can attack and go in there,

743
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: so that I was watching him as well, and they

744
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: just did a good job.

745
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: Okay, So he played a lot.

746
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Of zone in this game because probably they were shorthanded

747
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: so many guys, and I thought kid did an awesome

748
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: jomb just picking it apart.

749
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Star Thomson is kind of their X factor.

750
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: He's, you know, that prototypical X factor as you compared

751
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: him to Agodala. Sometimes he just doesn't perform. He called

752
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: himself out after this game and said it was on

753
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: me with the Spurs, he didn't have his energy level

754
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 3: crashing on the offensive end. Also, he yawned at one

755
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: point he just wasn't into it and then he responds.

756
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: In this one, basically it looked like a mirror of

757
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: Aman Thompson and how he's guarded. They just laid way

758
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: off him, but he was getting into the mid range

759
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: and hitting those jumpers and getting after it defensively.

760
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 2: You roll into that as well. A better kid performance.

761
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: Even though Dorts all over him and Cason Wallace was

762
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: dragging on him, he just looked way better and Jalen

763
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: Duran twenty nine to fifteen. Since the also game three

764
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: games averaging twenty seven and fourteen. So all that combined

765
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: with these secondary players just doing something. They don't have

766
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: an incredible three to eight, but they just.

767
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: Need to do something.

768
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 3: Toby was better in this game. Duncan Robinson was better

769
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 3: in this game. Javonte Green hit a shaw my man.

770
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 3: Karis Lavert still turns that ball over, but fewer turnovers.

771
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: In this one, so they need everybody. And then this

772
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: one they had it against.

773
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: A team Yes, didn't have everybody basically basically anybody. Yeah,

774
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: but they can still play great defense because that's what

775
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: they do, and they went after kid, but Kde just

776
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: had a response games after that Spurs game.

777
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: My final note on Cad multiple highlight reel blocks once

778
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: again in this one. Is he on his way to

779
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: trying to become the greatest shot blocker from the guard position.

780
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: I know he's only twenty four a lot of career

781
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: leve but it's up to averaging one block per game

782
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: for the point guard position. I think Derek White probably

783
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: still has the honor. Guy's pretty amazing at rapping up

784
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: blocks as like what a shooting guard, I guess, but

785
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade always comes to mind as one of the best.

786
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: John Well, but I think Kate is gonna be there.

787
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: He's a little bigger than those guys, way bigger than

788
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: those guys, but he brings it on the defensive end.

789
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: Is even talking about like, yeah, I watched a lot

790
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: of Lebron all these chase down blocks.

791
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 4: Tried to add that to my game. So yeah, something

792
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: to watch moving forward.

793
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: I think every one of his turnovers is totally careless,

794
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 5: like inaccurate passes or just lazy getting off the ball.

795
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 5: It's like rarely him being pressured. But then on the

796
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 5: other side, he cares so much about defense. I'm like, where,

797
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 5: where's the attention to detail there.

798
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: On both sides?

799
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 5: But three steels, three blocks last night for Kate. He's

800
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 5: averaging a steel and a half and a block per game.

801
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 5: He's one of only fourteen players this season over five

802
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 5: hundred minutes that averages a steal and a block. Pretty

803
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 5: impressive for a guy who carries a huge load on

804
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 5: the offensive end as well, which is probably why sometimes

805
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 5: he's just like just something this.

806
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: Unfortunately the other team and he missed. He missed our

807
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: Taskit's friend to Toby.

808
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I called him Toby, Toby.

809
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 5: Toby him and Toby did not have a mind Meld

810
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 5: last night, Toby would be cutting and Katie would throw.

811
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: It behind his back. That was weird.

812
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 3: Two things, you know, It's it's tough for us talking

813
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: about basketball every single day. I don't want to say

814
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: the same name the same way every single day, right,

815
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 3: people on their toes. But also, he's a two name guy.

816
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: He's not a Tobias, he's not a Harris. And I

817
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 3: just want to shorten it as much as I can.

818
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: I was wondering, from four syllables to one syllable. Actually, Toby,

819
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: it's two, not bad, but it feels shorter.

820
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: I was wondering if the reason you were going with

821
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: Toby recently is we just had Jacob Toby maybe spurs

822
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: played by play announcer on our show when we were

823
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: in Austin. I saw he had Matt Bonner, him and

824
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: Jean Elliott, that Matt Bonner joined them in Toronto last

825
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: night on their call.

826
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: Maybe that Toby was in her head.

827
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, A subconscious thing for sure, because it happens. It

828
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: happened yesterday show what happened. I made the thumbnails say

829
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: struggle bus and you said it twice.

830
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 4: Yesterday and I never heard him say before. Yeah. I

831
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 4: was like that that like literally just like the thumbnail. Yeah,

832
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. You said it twice. I couldn't believe it.

833
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 4: It's like, oh my thumbnails do matter? Wow?

834
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 3: I just went and looked at the thumbnail. I remember

835
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: the thumbnail, but I don't remember the words struggles.

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, lots of our colleagues. I had to

886
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 3: look up the operation shuntout for Derek Bell. I totally

887
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: forgot about that. When I think Derek Bell, I think

888
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: of number one Joe Carter driving his car onto the

889
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 3: Blue Jays SkyDome turf because they were giving it away

890
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: or nice. When he walked Game two ninety two World

891
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: Series and then ed spray hit the jack hold on?

892
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: Was that ninety three? It was ninety three? Either way?

893
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 2: That was an important important walk.

894
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: Can you explain operation shutdown for those that have no

895
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: idea what you're talking about.

896
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 5: He was unhappy with this contract, so he's like, I'm

897
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 5: just gonna suck it up. I'm not going to play

898
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 5: good at all.

899
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: I down.

900
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's shut himself down.

901
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that was two thousand and one. It was

902
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: later in his career, very late.

903
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

904
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 5: I was actually surprised to hear you say he was

905
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: on the Blue Jays for their nineties World Series. I

906
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 5: think of him as like, I mean, late nineties, isn't

907
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 5: that different?

908
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, well he was pinshitting in that case. Yeah,

909
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: and just walked important. It was the ninety two Game two.

910
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: In the ninety two series, he was.

911
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they needed it against Atlanta Braves after the Braves

912
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: took the first game.

913
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 2: It was like the eighth inning, I think.

914
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: Is that when the flag upside down? Or wait, we

915
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: put their flag upside down?

916
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:15,959
Speaker 4: Who did it? Which flag was up? Yeah? That Canadian flag?

917
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 6: Oh?

918
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,759

Speaker 1: Trust me, but it's so bad that we just went

937
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: full black screen at least that's what we're seeing on

938
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: the monitor here. Okay, don't worry about it.

939
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 4: I can tell you who's at the top. I got you.

940
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: The Kings are thirteen and forty seven. As I said,

941
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: that's the worst, all right then, And they're followed by

942
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: the Pacers who are fifteen and forty four, the Nets

943
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: who are fifteen and forty two, the Wizards who are

944
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: sixteen and forty one, and then the Pelicans pick which

945
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: would go to the Atlanta Hawks at seventeen and forty two.

946
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: Those are your top five teams. Jazz there are sixth

947
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: at eighteen and forty The question here is true or false.

948
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: No signal is detected. True or false.

949
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 4: The Kings deserve to win the number one pick because

950
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: they're just so.

951
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 2: Bad absolute false. Yeah.

952
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

953
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 3: In twenty three, they make the playoffs for the first time,

954
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 3: what sixteen years. Darren Fox got them there.

955
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: They light the beam.

956
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, we'll fire our head coach.

957
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: We'll trade Dearon Fox for Zach Lavine. And I bring

958
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: that up because they're trying to win right now. They

959
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 3: are absolutely trying to win, trying to do everything they can.

960
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: After trading their best player for another player, They've got

961
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: this team that's so good offensively. Should be good offensively,

962
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: I should say, but they can't be good offensively, so

963
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: I don't give them a deserve reward. I don't know

964
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: who deserves it, but this team that again made.

965
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 2: The playoffs for the first time in six teen years.

966
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 3: They had Darren Fox doing interviews in people's houses. Our

967
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 3: friends Duce and Mo had them over to be in

968
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: their house. He went to their house to do an interview,

969
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: and now all of a sudden, they said, nah, let's

970
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 3: get rid of this guy. I mean it was after

971
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 3: two years, but still, why give up on that up

972
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 3: on your first playoff appearance in sixteen years.

973
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't feel bad for them. They don't deserve it.

974
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: Okay, I think they absolutely deserve it.

975
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: There we go.

976
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 5: Why is that they haven't had the number one pick

977
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 5: since nineteen eighty nine? Never nervous Pervis Ellison? Oh yeah,

978
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 5: what number one? Their eighth in salary this year. Like

979
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 5: you said, pass, they're.

980
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 4: Straight up trying to win.

981
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 5: They just build a bad team, right, Look at all

982
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 5: the other teams who are near the top of the

983
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 5: tanking race. The Pacers twenty first in salary, took a

984
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 5: literal gap year this year. Yeah, didn't replace Miles Turner.

985
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 5: They tried to lose. That's thirtieth in salary. They got

986
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 5: all young guys. They're not trying to win. The Wizards

987
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 5: are eighteenth in salary. That's because they just traded for

988
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 5: Trey Young and Anthony Davis, who they are not going

989
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 5: to play this year. They're not trying to win. And

990
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 5: then Utah's twenty eighth in salary. At least the Kings

991
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 5: came into the season said we're gonna win. If you're

992
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 5: a fool, you would lock their over under like I did.

993
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 5: They're gonna win more than thirty four games.

994
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 4: Ooh, I think that's what it was. Yeah, funny, I'm

995
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 4: back to you. I didn't lock it, but I did back.

996
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 4: I say guarantee this half of the Kings are gonna

997
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 4: be good. They're literally trying. They're just bad.

998
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 5: And I mean they have gotten a little tanky as

999
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 5: these other teams have gone through their shenan agains. You

1000
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 5: know they're shutting down DeAndre Hunter, sabonas Levine, all these

1001
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 5: guys are out. But like Demarto Rosen's playing fourth quarters,

1002
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 5: he's still hitting clutch pull up jumpers just like he

1003
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 5: always has. So I think they do deserve it. They

1004
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 5: haven't had a number one pick for a while. They

1005
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 5: need a star as much as literally any team in

1006
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 5: the NBA. They had a top five draft pick and

1007
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: they got Keagan Murray who had an awesome rookie season

1008
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 5: and hasn't really done much since.

1009
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 4: They need an infusion of talent. So I do think

1010
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: they actually deserve it.

1011
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: If you go, uh, if you tackle this, deserve by

1012
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: they need a star like you're saying, Then when you

1013
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: look at a lot of teams on the tankathon, the

1014
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: Kings are there. I think the Nets are there, they

1015
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: would you know, they could use a star to obviously

1016
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: try and build around and then you know, then you

1017
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: start getting down even lower. I guess you could. You know,

1018
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls I think could use a star. Depends

1019
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: how you feel about Bozilla's moving forward. Point is, some

1020
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: of these other teams do have really good players because

1021
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: of injuries, because of whatever, they just obviously are down

1022
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: here near the bottom. So yeah, Kings like this, we

1023
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: asked this tongue in cheek deserve I mean, what are

1024
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: we talking about here, but you know, as an in

1025
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: order to like turn around franchise, and because they have

1026
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: been the sort of ethical tankers because they wanted to

1027
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: sort of win and just stink, then yeah, maybe you

1028
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: lean towards the Kings. What do you think about this

1029
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: report we got recently here Lowry Marketen suffered an ankle

1030
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: and hip injury in practice on Wednesday. He's going to

1031
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: get an MRI and reportedly the NBA is going to

1032
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: send an independent doctor to scope out the situation and

1033
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: determine if the Jazz are violating league policy by holding

1034
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: marketing out. We have this is we are getting silly

1035
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: with this now, But what are you what's your thoughts

1036
00:45:59,440 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: on this.

1037
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 3: Well, the Utah Jazz don't deserve to win the number

1038
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 3: one pick. I think that's fairly clear that they have

1039
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 3: sac guys in fourth quarters. We all know it, we

1040
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: all saw it. They were the ones that made the headlines.

1041
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 3: That is why they were fired. Are fined five hundred

1042
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Also, I found this interesting. There are polls

1043
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 3: done by the Desert News in Utah, the state of Utah,

1044
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: and all these people pulled seventy percent of them believe

1045
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 3: that professionals alter the way they play to help sports

1046
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 3: gamblers win. So that's the thought process of Utah and

1047
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: their fans and their people. You know, there's different parameters

1048
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 3: to this seventy percent. Some say it's rarely, some say

1049
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: it's most of the time in a state that are

1050
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 3: trying to get gambling laws made for them so they

1051
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 3: can all gamble as fans. But their fans still love

1052
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: the game. They're still out there and they're still winning

1053
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: these games where guys are sitting fourth quarters, So they

1054
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 3: don't deserve to win that number one pick. That being said,

1055
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 3: I think I'm okay with the NBA sending an independent

1056
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 3: doctor because it sure feels like there's they've gone to

1057
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: another level here.

1058
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: They look they've gone to the level where Silver is

1059
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: absolutely pissed off with the Utah Jazz. So, I mean,

1060
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just to continue to

1061
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: try and send a message to them after the five

1062
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars fine and then sending these doctors.

1063
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: And then Jared Jackson because they're not the first to

1064
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: do that.

1065
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 3: When Jared Jackson JUNR went down with a season ending

1066
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 3: injury immediately after the five hundred thousand dollars fine, I thought, wow,

1067
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 3: can this be fine worthy if a guy is literally

1068
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 3: getting surgery? But then it starts the compound here with

1069
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 3: Lowry markin and who's literally sitting Nurkic is getting a.

1070
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 4: Surgery giving him problems.

1071
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: It's right, but he's playing pretty well.

1072
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: Looks like he's sleeping all right, But are we I

1073
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: believe he is to celebrate Ramadan? Now, maybe he's undergoing.

1074
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 4: Lots of stuff, but out is he not for the season? Yeah, yeah, yeah, surgery?

1075
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's why it seems like it's it's snowballing

1076
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: in Utah. Oh yeah, down the mountains.

1077
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: There's snow everywhere.

1078
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: I don't know it's again it's a slippery slope, like

1079
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to do this with marketing, no, yeah, yeah,

1080
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna do this with Lorry Markinen and right, we

1081
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: got to come check them.

1082
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: Like then, then don't you have to do this with

1083
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 4: absolutely every guy?

1084
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 5: Well they did that with the Pacers apparently, right, they're like, yeah,

1085
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 5: Nie Smith hurt, Why don't you just shoot him up

1086
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 5: with some meds, like it's Varsity Blues, get him out there.

1087
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1088
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 4: So, I don't know, it's weird.

1089
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 5: Silver right now is in a tough spot where he's

1090
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 5: got to be checking in on all this after tanking

1091
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 5: being such a huge deal before we even got to

1092
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 5: the All Star break, to the point where he had

1093
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 5: to come out with these fines for the Jazz and

1094
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 5: the Pacers and answer a whole bunch of questions and

1095
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 5: saying we're looking at literally any suggestion you could possibly have,

1096
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 5: we will consider it. So I don't think it's going

1097
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 5: to stop for the rest of the season until you

1098
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 5: know every player you've heard of is out. But as

1099
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 5: the stream team is mentioning here, the Jazz and the

1100
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 5: Pacers have never won the number one pick, so they

1101
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 5: could be deserving and that right as well to spread

1102
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 5: the wealth.

1103
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 4: That right never won it.

1104
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I was excited.

1105
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 4: I was looking.

1106
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 5: You know the history of the number one picks for

1107
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 5: the Sacramento Kings. They only have the one purpose Allison.

1108
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 5: But when they were the Cincinnati Royals, they drafted three

1109
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 5: great names. In nineteen fifty seven, they got hot Rod Hundley,

1110
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, very cool. In nineteen sixty

1111
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 5: Bob Boozer, Oh another double b.

1112
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one.

1113
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 5: I'm not as familiar with, Bob Boozer. And then the

1114
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 5: big ol oscar Robertson went number one in nineteen good

1115
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 5: pick as well.

1116
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, nailed that one.

1117
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: No relation to Carlos the Boozer, I don't think so.

1118
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 2: I imagine, yeah, next one here.

1119
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: The odds to win the NBA's regular season MVP of

1120
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: tightened in recent weeks, with the top two betting favorites,

1121
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: Shay Gilders Alexander and Nicola Jokich at the risk of

1122
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: not qualifying for the award because of a new NBA

1123
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: rule or newish NBA rule. Sga remains the odds on

1124
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: consensus favorite. He's listed at minus one thirty on FanDuel

1125
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: Yokich at plus three hundred, but again, both are in

1126
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: danger of being ineligible this season because of the NBA

1127
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: rule that prohibits players who miss more than seventeen games

1128
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: from qualifying for postseason awards like MVP.

1129
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 4: Suddenly, I do.

1130
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: Feel like we've pivoted from tanking talk to maybe now

1131
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: we are back on the MVP race and this particular

1132
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: rule trace so true or false, the NBA sixty five

1133
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: game rule is backfiring.

1134
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 4: I gotta say false.

1135
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 5: Okay, I think it worked perfectly because they got an

1136
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 5: eleven year, seventy seven billion dollar millionaire rights deal and

1137
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 5: that's the only reason this rule even exists.

1138
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 2: Correct because Adam.

1139
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 5: Silver and a previous thing he was upset about was

1140
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 5: players resting more so than dealing with injuries, and that,

1141
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 5: to me is the biggest thing. We don't want to

1142
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 5: have a default winner where it's like two MVP candidates

1143
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 5: actually qualify for the awards, so who of those two

1144
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 5: who actually was the best. There should be a separation

1145
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 5: between missing games for rest slash load management, which was

1146
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 5: what the issue was when it was like Kawhi never

1147
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 5: playing back to backs. Joel Embiid, we never know if

1148
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 5: he's going to play, and if they're playing in Denver,

1149
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: he definitely isn't. It's different when a guy is legitimately hurt.

1150
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 5: Look at the guys who are being taken out of

1151
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 5: the race this year. Jokic had a legitimate knee injury.

1152
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 5: Jaegosis Alexander is missing time with a core injury right now.

1153
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 5: Wemby had a calf strain. These are real things that

1154
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 5: are keeping players out. So there's got to be some

1155
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 5: sort of leeway that they figure out going forward where

1156
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 5: you're allowed to miss games if you're hurt and still

1157
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 5: qualify for these awards at the end of the season.

1158
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 5: But the NBA got what they wanted, a massive TV deal.

1159
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 5: Players got what they wanted. They're getting paid more money,

1160
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 5: So I think the rule actually worked.

1161
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 4: And now it's time to budget, so you would a

1162
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 4: little bit, yeah, I think, So, okay, what do you think?

1163
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I say it's false. I mean, they started

1164
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: this at the beginning of the twenty three twenty four season.

1165
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 3: A year later they signed that eleven billion dollar broadcast deal.

1166
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 3: It worked perfectly, and then they can do away with

1167
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 3: it after this season. And I think it's false because

1168
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: Shake gillis Alexander can still come back and win this

1169
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 3: MVP if he wants it. He's still got plenty of

1170
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 3: games to play.

1171
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 4: Plenty, I think six.

1172
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: He can still miss another six and qualify.

1173
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,240
Speaker 4: Y k can only miss one more. He's right teetering

1174
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 4: right there.

1175
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, he's done all the talks about his horses

1176
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 3: and who he would sell. That's what's going to take

1177
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 3: over Yokic's last couple months of the season because it

1178
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 3: feels like he may not make it, but if she

1179
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 3: wants to, he can. The NBA teams, like Tray was

1180
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 3: talking about, have done a good job of being able

1181
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 3: to circ event these requirements for injured players and say

1182
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: me ankle, because got players are so banged up at

1183
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 3: every part of the season. They just don't put it

1184
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 3: on the box score that he is resting for load

1185
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: management when essentially eighty two games within the span of

1186
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 3: that regular season is too tight. So, oh, yeah, he

1187
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 3: does have an issue. He doesn't have an ankle issue,

1188
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 3: So that's what we'll list on the box score. We

1189
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 3: just won't load or excuse me, we won't list it

1190
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 3: as load management. So that's the way they get around it.

1191
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: But what do they do with the sixty five game rule.

1192
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: Is it just a swipe it off.

1193
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: The board and just go back to normal.

1194
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 4: I think because.

1195
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 1: Availability was always an important part of production and whether

1196
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 1: you were warranting MVP votes from the media, who votes

1197
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: on this thing like it always was coming into play,

1198
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: like you had to do the whole thing, Like, Okay,

1199
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: he missed ten more games than this guy. Is that

1200
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: much of a difference maker in your opinion to give

1201
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: it to one or the other? So you know, Eric

1202
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: Kreen wrote, if the rule is encouraged players to get

1203
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: on the floor more, it hasn't made a profound difference.

1204
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like you were saying, TK, these guys have

1205
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: been injured. Now it feels as if the real impact

1206
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: might be to make sure the wrong people get some awards.

1207
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 1: And this gets some people pretty upset when you say

1208
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: the wrong people, because let's talk this out for the

1209
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: sake of debate, sga Yo Kich even when Benyama, let's

1210
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: say they don't get the sixty five games played, all

1211
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 1: a possibility we could end up with a war results

1212
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: like MVP to Caid Cunningham, Defensive Player of the Year

1213
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: to Rudy Gobert, and a first team all NBA. Let's

1214
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: say of Caid, maybe Luca, Jayleen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, and

1215
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards something like that. Like good, but you're like,

1216
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: I guess a year or two removed from this, we're

1217
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna be like, what the hell happened that year? And

1218
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: like maybe in the case some of these guys play

1219
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: sixty three sixty four games.

1220
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 2: And you're like, what, so, I don't know.

1221
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: It's you can probably get rid of it, is sort

1222
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: of my take on it. Like you guys said the

1223
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: whole thing was about load management.

1224
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 4: It was a classic silver.

1225
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: In the league sort of overreacting to the moment, wanting

1226
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: to get the television deal, like, oh, our guys will play.

1227
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: We'll force them, these big guys to play in these

1228
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: games that we're gonna put a lot of money on,

1229
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: these games that you're going to buy from us. Now

1230
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: that we're there, I think we're completely fine. The media,

1231
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: we don't have votes in this thing, but I think

1232
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: most of them are fine debating whether or not, like

1233
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: whatever the thresholders to you, Like I have something on

1234
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: along the lines of like, yeah, you should probably play

1235
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: around seventy five percent of the games.

1236
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 4: I think that's fair.

1237
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 2: So lower to sixty.

1238
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, sure, but yeah, yeah, but maybe just

1239
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 1: remove it completely and let these guys decide and women

1240
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: decide when they vote. Like if if people look, they

1241
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: tell us who votes for who? Now, So if somebody's like, no,

1242
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: that guy played thirty five games and I believe he's

1243
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: still MVP, well it's public. So there's a bit of

1244
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: a shaming I guess if you want to call it that.

1245
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: If we feel like, what are you talking about? You

1246
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: gotta play more than that.

1247
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 4: So it's it's out there in the public to.

1248
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: Geek it out here.

1249
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 3: What are what is the number when you see the

1250
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 3: races at the end of the year that a guy

1251
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: has to meet as far as games go. Is it

1252
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 3: somewhere between sixty and sixty five? I mean it is

1253
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 3: sixty five? Where is implemented? Because yeah, it was implemented

1254
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 3: because it's a it's a decent number. It's pretty close.

1255
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

1256
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's not that bad when you look at

1257
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 2: it that way. But if all these if all these

1258
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: best players play.

1259
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: Literally sixty three or sixty four, and I say best

1260
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 3: players as in Shae Jokic essentially and Wemby, I mean

1261
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 3: that's what it comes down to it's up to really

1262
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 3: Shay to make this about guys, just make the story

1263
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 3: less about this new rule and just about the best players.

1264
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 3: If he plays sixty five games, he ain't that far

1265
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 3: as we've said. I think they do want to hold

1266
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 3: the number one seed, and so I think he will

1267
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: come back and play. The Spurs are just too close

1268
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 3: to them, and I think they do want the first seed,

1269
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 3: being that they won two game sevens last year in

1270
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 3: their barn. The Spurs have only lost one more game

1271
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 3: than the Okay See we saw Okay See lose last night.

1272
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 3: I do think he wants to come back to keep

1273
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 3: all those things going for Okay.

1274
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: So one thing that is scary the hypothetical is, and

1275
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: I guess you could debate, we've had guys try and

1276
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 1: get back before to make all NBA teams and stuff

1277
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: like that. Like a guy that is injured that is

1278
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: legitimately injured on a good team, let's say, who have

1279
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: plans to go far in the playoffs, like tries to

1280
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: come earlier than maybe he should to hit said quota

1281
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: to win awards or obviously get more money in contract

1282
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: situations when you get into first team all NBAS or

1283
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: all NBA teams like and then they get injured again,

1284
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 1: Like that's that sucks, that's unfortunate. Now that's their decision

1285
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: as the player, as the team and all that. That's

1286
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: that'll be like kiss a death for this rule. Then

1287
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: I think it'd be gone immediately after that. But yeah,

1288
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: what's your opinion on the amount of games played if

1289
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: you had to vote for MVP? You know, like, I

1290
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: guess what we're getting at is like SGA and Yokichen

1291
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: Wemby on the defensive ends, Like those guys can play

1292
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: like ten games less than most other guys in the league,

1293
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: if not everybody else, and their impact is more important.

1294
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 4: Yes it is.

1295
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 5: I don't like to see a five in the first digit, Okay,

1296
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 5: So fifty nine and under, to me, you're almost disqualified.

1297
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 5: And that's kind of like how MVP voting has worked.

1298
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 5: There's basically one real MVP who's played less than sixty games.

1299
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 4: It was Bill Walton.

1300
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 5: He was the best player in the league until he

1301
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 5: got hurt two thirds of the way through the season. Right,

1302
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 5: everything else is better and like you know, a COVID

1303
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 5: season or a strike season with our under sixty that

1304
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 5: sort of stuff.

1305
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 4: So, uh, to me, like sixty is.

1306
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 5: Sort of the baseline, and I think that voters do

1307
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 5: factor it in. I know we do when you're looking

1308
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 5: at the end of the year. So if people are

1309
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 5: legitimately hurt, I don't think it should take him out

1310
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 5: of the awards race. But if they're healthy enough to play,

1311
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 5: they should play. But we saw Halliburton did it like

1312
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 5: to get all NBA, and he came back struggled through

1313
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 5: a hamstring injury, was playing like the bare minimum twenty

1314
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 5: minutes a game to get his numbers up so he

1315
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 5: could make All NBA and make a whole bunch more money.

1316
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 5: The incentives were there for it.

1317
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1318
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 5: I like seeing the best players on the court, but

1319
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 5: I also like seeing the best names rewarded at the

1320
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 5: end of the season.

1321
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

1322
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: And like whether there's this rule or not with how

1323
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: many games you gotta play, Like let's say SGA hits

1324
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: sixty five, sixty six games, like just gets over the quota,

1325
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: Like there will be a debate. I don't know how

1326
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 1: many games Kate is missed off the top of my head,

1327
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: but let's just say he played all eighty two games, right,

1328
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: and they had the number one seats going to be

1329
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: a debate between people with an actual vote and people

1330
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: without a vote, like us like, oh, well, well one

1331
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: guy played the whole league or the whole season and

1332
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: he have the number one seed. Yeah, but SJA like

1333
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: because of these numbers, because of scoring, whatever he produces.

1334
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: More like, that's always going to happen, and that's like fun.

1335
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: That's that's part of the fun, right, that we're inevitably

1336
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: going to do at the end of the season. So

1337
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: it's just like, I don't know, we need this thing,

1338
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: probably not anymore final one. This is interesting. Suns owner

1339
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ishbia wants more star players participating in All Star

1340
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: weekend events when Phoenix hosts the mid season showcase next year.

1341
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: So to help, Ishbia has offered to pay a million

1342
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 1: dollar prize to the winners in the twenty twenty seven

1343
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: dunk and three point contests, with another million going to

1344
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: charity in each event. He said this on the Pat

1345
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: McAfee show, and I saw Windhorse reporting. Officials from the

1346
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: NBA League Office and Players Union told ESPN such a

1347
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: prize would not conform with the existing bonus structure. It's

1348
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: not like ish consulted with the league when he said

1349
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: this to Pat so just Riffin.

1350
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 4: It's just Riffin.

1351
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 3: But I had a floater over Tacko Fall a couple

1352
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 3: of weeks. I'm feeling yeah, so true or false?

1353
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Ishi offering a million dollar to All Star Contest winners

1354
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: will draw star players.

1355
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 4: Do you think it will work if he's allowed to Let's.

1356
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 3: Say, well, it's true, but he's not going to be

1357
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 3: the one giving out a million dollars. It's going to

1358
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 3: be the league. The league has to run this thing

1359
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 3: right now. At this point where gambling is such a

1360
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: discussion around the league in so many different ways, you

1361
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 3: can't just anoint mat Ishbia the guy to hand out money.

1362
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 3: It just doesn't seem right, doesn't work. The NBA can

1363
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: do it. There's plenty of millions to go around. But

1364
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 3: at the same time, we know money is definitely a

1365
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: motivator for players, So yes, this will work.

1366
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it as an option.

1367
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was saying years ago, I thought Drake was

1368
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: should be the one to put the million dollars up

1369
01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: for the Dunk Contest winner.

1370
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 4: Still shock should still be him?

1371
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

1372
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 4: No, I think this is great.

1373
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 5: I like, Yespia, He's like, yeah, I'll go out there

1374
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 5: and pick up a guy full court in the Celebrity Game.

1375
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: I'll give you a two dollars to Sanni Water. I

1376
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 4: hate tanking.

1377
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's because we traded all of our draft picks.

1378
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 5: But still you should be trying to win. And now

1379
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 5: he's trying to get people into the Dunk Contest. This

1380
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 5: is really about the Dunk Contest. The stars show up

1381
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 5: for the three contests, right, maybe they can figure out

1382
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 5: a way to play to pay him.

1383
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 4: I do think this would help.

1384
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 5: I don't think it would make a difference for getting

1385
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 5: top stars there, but I think it would be good

1386
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 5: for rookie stars. Take two guys that we would like

1387
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 5: to see in the Dunk Contest, Anthony Edwards VJ. Edgecumbe.

1388
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards makes forty five million dollars this year. Getting

1389
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 5: an extra million dollars would be a two percent raise.

1390
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 5: Nobody sneezing on a million dollars, but come on, he

1391
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 5: ain't gonna do it, okay.

1392
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 4: VJ.

1393
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 5: Edgecumb makes eleven million dollars this year. That's nine percent

1394
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 5: of his salary. It would matter to him, and I

1395
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 5: think that that's really who you're targeting for the Dunk Contest.

1396
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 4: Is like the big up and coming rookies. These are

1397
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 4: the guys that do it anyways.

1398
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 5: At least in the past, like Blake Griffin was early

1399
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 5: in his career when he was in the Dunk Contest.

1400
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 5: Same with Zach Lavine, same with Michael Jordan. If you

1401
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 5: want to go all the way back there, it would

1402
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 5: matter to the younger players who are on their first

1403
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 5: contract to get that bump of money, and that probably

1404
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 5: draws them into the contest fair enough.

1405
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, can disagree, but it can't come from matt Eshbia.

1406
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: It cannot come from Matt Eshbia, even though he's putting

1407
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: on the event in Phoenix there and that's part of

1408
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: why he's saying this right.

1409
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 2: And he's feeling free and easy.

1410
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 3: He's on social media a lot as as Trey said,

1411
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 3: he said, I hate tanking.

1412
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 2: Just letting it rip right now.

1413
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 4: He is. What did aj Hawk have to say about this?

1414
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 4: This go to my camera and scene very good. All

1415
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 4: you see and you clip from Pat McAfee show is

1416
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:01,959
Speaker 4: just a guy.

1417
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 3: Not the split camera in the podcast era. Just look

1418
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: at your camera, man, just look.

01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: those three fun topics. All right, little bite sponsored by

1424
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: data everybody to breathe a little bit here, so unsullied

1425
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: by sponsorship here today with Woe Boy. A couple nominees,

1426
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Jailen Dura and Kate both had monster games pretty trade

1427
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: Black History month. Jared Allen continued his run in February.

1428
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Not many days left in February, but this guy's still balling.

1429
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: And the other Jalen Williams, the big jail In Williams.

1430
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: It went for thirty points, double digit rebounds, good game.

1431
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 4: In a loss.

1432
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: But elprin Shangoon recorded his eleventh career triple double. Scored

1433
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty six points to go along with thirteen boards, eleven assists,

1434
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: shot nine to thirteen from the field, seven of eight

1435
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 1: from deep, also game high three blocks and team high

1436
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 1: two steals. So he filled the box score there as

1437
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: they pummeled the Kings.

1438
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 4: This is a rum pump pummel in here. So, uh,

1439
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 4: you know, I said he had a triple double.

1440
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed that the what did Katie's

1441
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: burner account call Westbrook Cocaine, Bear, Coin, triple double whatever.

1442
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 4: He didn't get one. I mean he was. He's Westbrook

1443
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 4: was going for it. I think though he was shooting

1444
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 4: a lot. He's like, might as well get mine. Sure. Yeah.

1445
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Anybody ever watched that movie Cocaine Bear.

1446
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I didn't watch Cocaine I think I did.

1447
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 4: Hold on, Now I'm thinking about No, I did it.

1448
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of the one the documentary with the bear

1449
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 4: that the guy gets eaten by gristly man. That's great.

1450
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 4: That's a great spoiler. He gets off camera. You think

1451
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 4: it was real?

1452
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 2: What do you mean, hold on?

1453
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 4: He gets eating off camera? Oh yeah, yeah, he doesn't

1454
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 4: know where I'm going to do my Christy appreciation.

1455
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

Speaker 2: Sorry no I haven't either.

01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of movies where things may or may not

1507
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,920

1508
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Trey and I, you get those two little extra points.

1509
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 3: They seem to be playing extremely close games. That's what's happening.

1510
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 3: They lose, it's just by a point or two. Rockets

1511

1514
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 4: fine with that pick. But I was, Yes, I was.

1515
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 4: There's two Orlandos in the dark. No no, no, no, yes, yes, yes, yes.

1516
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Yes, okay. Well, well this is the stupid thing that

1517
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: we've got going.

1518
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: One No, no, I want to bring it because I'm

1519
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: surprised that you guys didn't split, so to speak.

1520
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 4: On this game.

1521
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: I was a little shocked, but it's like, oh interesting

1522
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, I'm set now because one

1523
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: of you are going to take you Ston, what are

1524
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: you gonna take Orlando?

1525
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 4: I'll probably be in the clear. But then I saw

1526
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 4: both Orlando's like, okay.

1527
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm doing are they No?

1528
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 3: I'm doing this for the Friday standings. If and when

1529
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 3: Trey and I went tonight seven one rockets are going

1530
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 3: to come something stupid into a few days where we

1531
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 3: have to pay off our pick them.

1532
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: Ye, that's somebody suggested a decent one. I thought again

1533
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: because of inspired by Jacob Toby about smelling salts.

1534
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 4: It's not bad, it's fun. That's funny. I mean it's

1535
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 4: a sort of might pass out. Yeah, it's like, well

1536
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 4: I thought about that, but it's sort of like.

1537
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 7: The smelling selts to bring it back.

1538
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: It's like it's quick and easy, like it's sort of

1539
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: over in a hurry. Right, It's not like you can

1540
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: keep doing it. I don't think you should one time. Yeah.

1541
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 4: Very funny, very funny. Yeah.

1542
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 3: So it's a different type of pick and payoff that

1543
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 3: would be like a quick clip that we.

1544
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Can send them around I.

1545
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 4: Think it's good.

1546
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 2: I think it is good.

1547
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 4: So does anybody have a smelling salts hook up?

1548

01:08:58,600 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 4: share with you guys.

1551
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: I obviously did, uh the pig costume, the inflatable pig

1552
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: costume when we were getting excited for the slop around

1553
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. We had a lot of fun with

1554
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: that one. That was my pick and payoff for losing

1555
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: last month. It came in my algorithm.

1556
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 4: People in those big.

1557
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Inflatable costumes and they're run by like a fan, right,

1558
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,839
Speaker 1: like a battery operated fan to obviously keep them inflated.

1559
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 4: People would take like.

1560
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 7: A liquid fire liquid fart and put it up to.

1561
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: The fan and so then it like goes completely in

1562
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: the thing and you can't get out of those things

1563
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: in a hurry.

1564
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 4: And it is so funny. And I was like, thank god,

1565
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,560
Speaker 4: you guys hadn't seen that clip before.

1566
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I did it.

1567
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 5: That's an awesome Halloween prank. There's a lot of inflatable

1568
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 5: costumes out there.

1569
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just go around and just nail people with

1570
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 4: our fids.

1571
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 2: But that fan is it's inside obviously. Yeah, so you

1572
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: literally have to in there.

1573
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,519

Speaker 4: Yeah, and it just must go.

1576
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: Like people react immediately when they do it, because it

1577
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: just fills obviously the thing, because it's obviously keeping it

1578
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: blown up that way.

1579
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,639

1580
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 7: it before, but I think it literally people are dry heaving.

Speaker 4: like yeah, so anyway, liquid fart. I'm just saying.

1584
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 1: I guess we could run back that pick and pay

1585
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,840
