We 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: will get into this Sun story that ESPN dropped yesterday. 45 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: We knew it was coming for a couple of weeks. 46 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: We'll get into that. We've got tweeted the night, we've 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: got Pickham results, we got rapid fire fun. But but 48 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: but but guys, something a little different here today. I 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: was temper boy yesterday, but I'm positive pete today. I 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: thought it would be fun if we went through every team, 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: all thirty teams, and said at least one nice thing 52 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: about them, because we've seen enough of them, you know, 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: enough games for most of these teams so far, we 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: got an idea of where they are, maybe what their 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: game plan is moving forward this season, or even sort 56 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: of a longer term plan. So we dim it it up. 57 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna try and move with some pace here. Task 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna get as started. They're not really in any order. 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: It sort of goes by division a little bit. But 60 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: you have the Philadelphia seventy six ers task. What's one 61 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: nice thing you'd like to say about them? 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 6: Yeah? 63 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: At first I thought the word nice doesn't really fit 64 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: with what the Philadelphia seventy sixers are right now. You know, 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: nice is not the word I'd think of when thinking 66 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: about the Sixers and what's going on with Ben Simmons. 67 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: But then I thought, you know what, what's nice about 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: them is that they made basketball a year round sport 69 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: for the first time in history. Usually we have a 70 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: month off, but in the off season, as I've said 71 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: on the Athletic Slack, basically every day of the off 72 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: season there was a Ben Simmons trade update, another Ben 73 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: Simmons trade up date. So it's nice of them to 74 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: fulfill Adam Silver's dream. He's always wanted basketball to be 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 3: at twelve months. More. Aside from that, there's no denying 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: they're playing some good basketball. I was thinking about that 77 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: as they were winning last night and now have gone 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: to seven and two. This team that was a one 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: seed last year is now seven and two without Ben Simmons. 80 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: They're number one in the East again, even though they've 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: had a bit of a softy schedule. But I think 82 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: what stands out is that they have the best offense 83 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: in the league right now. And it's not because Joel 84 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: Embiid is having a career year. It's because they're thriving 85 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: around him despite him not having a career year as 86 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: he draws doubles and because of this spacing without Ben Simmons. 87 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 3: I know we always talk about, well, maybe if Ben 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: Simmons gets his own team and the spacing around him 89 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: is suited to him. Well, the same is happening right 90 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: now for Joel Embiid because if you watch them, it's 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 3: just a lot of great spacing and the role players. 92 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: Doc is coaching up there. As we said on Thursday's show, 93 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 3: come on, guys, I think he's doing a great job 94 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: of that. Doc loves that. Historically, Seth Curry, we talked 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: about seventeen points per game career high for him. Tyrese Maxi, 96 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: who is their point guard, that's their starting backward Curry Maxie. 97 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: Maxie didn't start well, but now he's shooting nearly fifty percent. 98 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: Cork Mas loves the space. Tobias Harris, George and Yang 99 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 3: Niang was playing out there with the young Paul Reed 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: Andre Drugons. 101 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 6: But Joji Nyang Man. 102 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: I mean he's balling. The Nyanggang got to stand up. 103 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: Have they ever had a better moment than this right here, 104 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: right now? No, because Doc is coaching up the role 105 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 3: players around Joel Embiid. But here comes the test. Their 106 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 3: best win is against Chicago Bulls at home. Now things 107 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: are going to get a real real for seventy six ers. 108 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: They go out and play the Bulls on the road, 109 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: then the Knicks, Bucks, Raptors at the Pacers, at the Jazz, 110 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: at the Nuggets, at the Blazers, at the Kings at 111 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 3: Golden State. So that's tough, tough November for them, but 112 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: the start could not have been nicer. And I guess 113 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: they have the right coach for what they're going through. 114 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 3: He loves doc, loves rallying around adversity, bulletin board material 115 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: type stuff, and it's working. 116 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: One of those teams said that they're gonna be playing soon, 117 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: the Raptors tray. One nice thing about Toronto. 118 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: I prefer Scottie Barnes to Patrick Williams. Coming into the season, 119 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: I thought they were the same guy. If I'm being 120 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: quite honest. You know, both number four picks, both from 121 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: Florida State. Their scouting reports were pretty similar. They're'd be 122 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: able to play a bunch of positions, good athletes, decent 123 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 2: ball skills, and if the shot comes around, they're gonna 124 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: be great. I just thought that Pat Williams was the 125 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: serious one and Scottie Barnes was the smiling one. But 126 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 2: as it turns out, Scotty Barnes, I think is gonna 127 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: be better than Patrick Williams. He looks like a better athlete. 128 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: He looks like he pops a little bit more out 129 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: there on the court. 130 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: And the big thing to me is that he's more assertive. 131 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: He's going out there and putting up twenty in a 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: game way earlier than Patrick Williams did. He just seems 133 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: like a guy who's trying to find his way in 134 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: the NBA. Obviously injured now, but I thought they were 135 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 2: gonna be the same guy. They're even both wearing black 136 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: and red. I was getting ready to be like, Oh, 137 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: who cares about your Scottie Barnes over there? 138 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: We got a Patrick. 139 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: Williams in Chicago, But I would like to see a 140 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: Scutti Barones in Chicago that much. That guy's got a 141 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: gorgeous smile and a game to back it up. 142 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, great story for Scotti Barones. Yeah, missed the last couple. 143 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: Hopefully's back soon from the thumb injury. All right, Lely, 144 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: we go to you. You got the Brooklyn Nets. 145 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I and a bit like Philadelphia, obviously some off 146 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 6: court distractions. They got off to a bit of a 147 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 6: slow start, but James Harden, in his last three games 148 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 6: has averaged ten assists and made twenty four of his 149 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 6: sorry twelve of his last twenty four to threes, all 150 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 6: in victories. Kevin Durant just cruising along nicely. Twenty eighty 151 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 6: game on sixty percent shooting. Kevin Durant unbelievable. I mean, 152 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 6: we know he's got that mid range, but sixty percent 153 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 6: is just huge. Not shooting all that well but for 154 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 6: three by his standards. But as long as he's on 155 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: the court, in my opinion, the Net's no worse than 156 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 6: the second best team in the Eastern Conference. Maybe not 157 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: right now today, but Kevin Durant just sort of moves 158 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 6: the pendulum for them so much, even if no one 159 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 6: else is out there on the court, because he's so 160 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 6: damn good and he's now at that stage where it's like, oh, 161 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 6: twenty eight, eight and six, Yeah, Kevin Durant, you know 162 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 6: that's what you expect from him. Yeah. So things are 163 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 6: going actually okay for Brooklyn too, after as I say, 164 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 6: a bit of a slow start there for them. 165 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: I think I can't remember who tweeted it, but I 166 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: thought it was a funny like comment. Have you can 167 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: you think of a bad Kevin Durant shot ever? Like 168 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: one where you're like, oh, oh, don't take that, like 169 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: that's a bad shot, like t think about because he 170 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: can make any shot. 171 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 6: I remember Seattle SuperSonics, Kevin Durant, rookie Kevin Durant thinking 172 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 6: like he was so thin he couldn't move anybody out 173 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 6: the way to get his shot off. And I thought 174 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 6: a couple of times he needs to fill out. But man, 175 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 6: talking Seattle SuperSonics this morning, that's how far we have 176 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 6: to go back before we to talk about the last 177 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 6: time Kevin Durant took a bad shot. 178 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: I think. I think in his last game, he was 179 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: really pumped when he hit a shot, and you know, 180 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: he's so even killed. I think it was a kind 181 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: of a tough shot for him. There aren't many tough 182 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 3: shots for him, but he was so amped that he 183 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: hit a kind of a tough shot. It was like 184 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: a three and it was sort of bobbling in his hands, 185 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: and he hit it and he was pumped. I think 186 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: that was a tough shot for Kevin Durant. But yeah, 187 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 3: they don't. 188 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying a touch shot, I'm saying a bad shot. 189 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's kind of a bad shot, I guess 190 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: because He's like, how did I overcome this wobble in 191 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: my hands? But you're right, they don't exist. Smooth really smooth. 192 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Really the New York Knicks. I have here one nice 193 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: thing about them. They continue to stay relevant. I think 194 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: this is important. I am one of those people that 195 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: say the league is in a better place when they're 196 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: a competent team, when they're an entertaining team, when Madison 197 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: Square Garden is rocketing. I believe that. Case in point, 198 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: my god, you know, they won two games or whatever 199 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: it was, and we get a big bong video, which 200 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: was like the video of the year so far, because 201 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the Knicks fans are hilarious. There was concern last year 202 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: that top four finish in the East, little flash in 203 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: the pan, maybe they'd fall back to earth. They really haven't. 204 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: They still look like a solid team now. They're getting 205 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: it done offensively. The defense needs to catch up. But 206 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: they have four or five guys on this team now 207 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: that I think can go for twenty to thirty points 208 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: any night. Randall, of course, being one of them. 209 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: R J. 210 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: Barrett is sort of reach that part where you're like, 211 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: he might be good for twenty to twenty five at night. 212 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: Kember when he gets hot. Evan Fournier, those two guys 213 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: they brought in, and Derek Rose is still always good 214 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: for like one of those performances every once in a while, 215 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: So they're getting it done with offense. I love the 216 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Necks being back lely. We got the big bungs and 217 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: the b and all that stuff, and I think it's great. 218 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, have you anything to add about your favorite 219 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: team in New York next league? 220 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 6: Well, again, it's not just Randall like it seemed like 221 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 6: Randall's getting all the attention last season. Those other guys. 222 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 6: I think RJ. Barrett has stepped up this season again, 223 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 6: even though his numbers aren't actually really any different from 224 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 6: last season, he just feels like a better player. So yeah, 225 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 6: start great to have the guarded rocking like that, and 226 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 6: I hope they do stay relevant. I have they stay 227 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 6: within top four contention because I think the league is 228 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 6: better when the Knicks are like this. 229 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, taus Bucks, What do you got from Milwaukee? 230 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: Well, the Knicks are going to play Milwaukee tonight, so 231 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 3: that'll be a bit of a statement game for the 232 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: New York Knicks. But does anyone really care who the 233 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks are playing right now. It just doesn't feel 234 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: like it really matters. As the last few years they 235 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: get to the playoffs, they'll do their thing. You know, 236 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 3: what's nice is that Drew Holliday is coming back tonight 237 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: for the Knicks against the Knicks because they've had you know, 238 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: their big three beside Yanni's out, Chris Middleton still out 239 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: in Brookstow. So that's nice. But forget about the games, 240 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: forget about the roster. What's nice is that the Attakumbo Bros. 241 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 3: The first set of brothers to win a championship as teammates. 242 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: Nobody really talks about that. Super nice now, I know, 243 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: I know, I understand people say, oh, Thenastis isn't a 244 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: big part of that team. He just comes out there. 245 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: He's more of a you know, a bench player, bench 246 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: you know, cheer guy. But he's playing more this season. 247 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: And obviously that doesn't matter to Yanni's and the Nastis 248 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: because in that ring ceremony when Thanasi's got his ring first, 249 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: Janie's smileless ear to ear you talk about Scottie Barnes smile. 250 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: I think Jannis's smile is even larger. I mean it 251 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: was like like our friend Michael Grange got a big 252 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: smile this guy. Why did I bring up Michael Grangeoh, 253 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. Yanni's had a huge smile, huge smile 254 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: at the ring ceremony this season, and that was it 255 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 3: was just an incredible moment for them. You know, Powell 256 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: and Mark have won separately Palmarcosol, but not as teammates. Yeah. 257 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: I guess you're not concerned at all about any of 258 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: the early season injuries here and guys being out Nobrook 259 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: and Middleton and stuff like that. 260 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: Nah no, nah, nah, I don't think so. Why why 261 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: why would you add four and four? I know you 262 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 3: guys are picking the Bucks tonight, you know, against the 263 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 3: New York Knicks. We'll get to pick him later. I 264 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: guess you're not concerned. I understand why you wouldn't be concerned. No, no, 265 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: I think the greatest moment so far is welcoming back 266 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: Jim Pashki, played by play guy who retired at that 267 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 3: ring ceremony the nast season. Yeah, he's looking at these 268 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 3: rings like we used to sell Chotchkey's on the streets 269 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 3: of Athens. We'd sell fake rings to people. Now now 270 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: look at us. We got a QR code on our rings, all. 271 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: Right, Trey, the Cleveland Cavaliers one nice thing over here. 272 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: This is a bummer, but here's a nice thing. Evan 273 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: Mobley is so good that people are already over sex Land. 274 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: Haven't hurt sex Land once this year. Even Lee hasn't 275 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: worn the shirt yet. But the Cleveland Cavaliers they're looking 276 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: all right. And it's because Evan Mobley. It's not because 277 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: of Evan Mobley, but it's He's the most notable name 278 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: for sure. 279 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: I think this season the thing that people are really watching. 280 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: Thirteen points, eight rebounds a game, forty nine percent from 281 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: the field, which is good. Three pointer hasn't come around, 282 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: but that's all good. The defense looks NBA ready. He's 283 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: gonna make an All Defense team at some point. I 284 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: think he might have the longest legs in the NBA 285 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: outside of Bull Bull. I mean, Bull Bull is kind 286 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: of in another category, but Evan Mobley. The way he 287 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 2: wears his shorts, and just the way he's built incredibly 288 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: long legs, which is super impressive. The way he's able 289 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: to cover a guard. Tass had the clip up on 290 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: Twitter earlier this week of him sticking a slowed down 291 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: Damian Lillard there defensively, but he moves his feet and 292 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: he looks like exactly what he was pitched as coming 293 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: into this season, somewhere between a Chris Bosh and Anthony Davis. 294 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: Good get for the Cleveland Cavaliers. If I'm them, I'm 295 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: thinking Garland and Moblei are the ultimate keepers here in 296 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: this rebuild. We'll see what happens with Colin Sexton. You know, 297 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: restricted free agency isn't that big of a deal right now. 298 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: I think the Calves were the only team to sign 299 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: a restricted free agent over the summer. They got Lowry 300 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: markin in from the Bulls and that took like a 301 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: month of free agency before it even went down. So 302 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 2: maybe Sexton comes back next year on a smaller deal 303 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: than the Calves are expecting. But they got a couple 304 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: of nice players there. Obviously, Jared Allen's doing well too, 305 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: shooting seventy percent from the field. 306 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 4: But MOBILEI looks like the real deal. 307 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, can you fact check Trey there? Have you 308 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: worn the Sexland shirt at all this season? 309 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 2: Or? 310 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 4: Is he right? 311 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 6: I think Dicky's right. I don't think I want it 312 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 6: since certainly since the season tipped off. Maybe in one 313 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 6: of the summer pods, but not during the Yeah, not 314 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 6: since twenty twenty one became oh hang on, what year 315 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 6: we're in? 316 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 4: Twenty one? 317 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 6: Twenty two? 318 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: Now? Yeah, wow? 319 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 6: What year? 320 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: Is it? 321 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: Alright? 322 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 5: Like? 323 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 4: Year? 324 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 5: Is it. 325 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: Right? 326 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: Let's keep it going? Uh Lee. The Chicago Bulls, I 327 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: couldn't even give it to Tree. 328 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: I had. 329 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Sana's thing for Tree and make him feel 330 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: good here. 331 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 6: I can say lots of nice things about the Chicago Bulls. 332 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 6: I think the best thing I'm going to say is 333 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 6: they've got the fifth best defense in the league, the 334 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 6: fifth best, fifth best defensive rating. And I think that 335 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 6: was something that we were a little concerned about. We 336 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 6: knew offensively they had plenty of talent, could they defend. 337 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 6: So far, so very good for Chicago. A couple of 338 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 6: other nice things. Tomata Rozen has been worth every penny 339 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 6: so far of his three year, eighty five million dollar contract. 340 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 6: The other offseason sign is Caruso Lonzo Ball. I think 341 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 6: they've also been winners for Karnishevas so far. And also 342 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 6: I think Zach Levine has really put his ego to 343 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 6: the side. DeRozan's been their sort of close at the 344 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 6: guy who's been taking the last shots. And for Zack 345 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 6: Lavine All Star last year, he's still getting his shots, 346 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 6: he's still getting his points. I don't think he's shown 347 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 6: any sort of animosity or frustration that he's not the 348 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 6: guy getting to close out games down the stretch. And 349 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 6: I think that's really a good sign for Chicago that 350 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 6: they've brought in a guy not to say, hey, Zach, 351 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 6: you can't do it, but instead this guy is just 352 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 6: a professional, you know, end of game guy, and he's 353 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 6: doing it for them. So I really can't find fault 354 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 6: at the moment with Chicago. Maybe to Patrick Williams injury, 355 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 6: but I think they can overcome that so far. What 356 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 6: they've shown that, you know, that's the injury they can 357 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 6: ride out. So everything so far has been really good 358 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 6: for Chicago. 359 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome start. And Zach Lavine, i assume, is at 360 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: the point of his career He's like, I just like 361 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: to win some basketball. Yeah, I've gotten my numbers before 362 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: I even made an All Star Game, and let's get 363 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: some help in here and win some of these. And 364 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: the Bulls are off to a decent start with a 365 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: lot of these additions that they've brought in. Tray anything 366 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: to add to the Bulls there. 367 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: I just can't wait for Voochs to get going. He 368 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: is the scapegoat right now. In that game against the 369 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: Philadelphia seventy six ers, he was tasked with guarding Joel Embiid. 370 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: As we know, Voch isn't a lockdown defender. He was competing, 371 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: he was doing his part, and he scored four points offensively. 372 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: He seems to be a little bit lost here. That's 373 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: the guy to me who has seen his shots disappear. 374 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: You know, he came to the Bulls last season and 375 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: then zachly Bean went out of the lineup basically right away. 376 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: They never had a chance to really build that chemistry. 377 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: So now he's got to figure out how to play 378 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 2: off of Levine. Then they brought in de Rozan. He's 379 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 2: got to figure out how to play off both of 380 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: those guys. Not to mention, Lonzo balls around handling the ball. 381 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: More so, Vooch is trying to find his way and 382 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: hasn't been a great start. Thirty nine percent from the 383 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: field for a seven footer. Yeah, I hate to see that. 384 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: I kind of have a little concern that Billy Donovan 385 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily know how to use a big guy who 386 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: can shoot. Because the same thing happened to Lowry Markinen 387 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: where he just ended up standing by the three point line. 388 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: Give my man some some touches in the post. Let's 389 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: see a hook shot every now and then, vouch. But 390 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: it's also nice having the Bulls be back and competitive, 391 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: to just have a guy that you're watching just being 392 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: furious at for forty six minutes. 393 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: That's how you know a team is back. When there's 394 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 4: one guy. 395 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: You're like, oh, come on, if we only didn't have 396 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Beines, directors would make the playoff. 397 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: It was like our buddy Jared Devly the Hawks last year, 398 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: winning all these games, you know, putting on a show, 399 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: and he couldn't let it go anytime. Solomon Hill got 400 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: you just freaking out every time. 401 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: We're like, relax man, he's like not even doing anything wrong. 402 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 4: They're like, oh god, damn. 403 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: Solomon Hills killing. I was like, nah, but you're right, 404 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: it's a rational one guy on your team. But this 405 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: is the off for whatever reason. Okay, let's keep it 406 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: going here. I got the Boston Celtics. It's nice that 407 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: they found their defense, and it was in. 408 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 4: The Bread Bowl all along. 409 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: That's where it was they slipped it behind these like 410 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: little loaves of bread when they had their little dinner there. 411 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: They played airtight defense for a second consecutive game last night, 412 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: they beat the Heat ninety five seventy eight. Celtics became 413 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: the first team since the Raptors back in eighteen to 414 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: hold consecutive opponents under eighty points, which is wild. Really 415 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: enjoyed seeing Nie Smith and Langford get some more action 416 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: when more burn. I thought they brought some hustle and 417 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: help with the defense there. So look, a brutal start 418 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: for Boston. I'm still not even convinced they're like gonna 419 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: figure this out to the point where like they're a 420 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: top three team in the East. But these last two games, 421 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: after the players only meeting after the dinner where no 422 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: coaches were around, whatever we're calling it, you know, they 423 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: have like dug in defensively and taking care of business again. So, okay, 424 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: a bad Orlando Magic team, but a really good Miami 425 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Heat team. So I thought that was a pretty dominant 426 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: win last night. Task for them going into Miami on 427 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: a back. 428 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 3: To back, super dominant, first team to hold opponents consecutively 429 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: to under eighty points. As you said, since twenty eighteen 430 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: or nineteen eighteen. When the Raptors started late. 431 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: April eighteen, so seventeen eighteen season. 432 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: When yeah, when you said back in eighteen, I guess 433 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 3: I just don't think of twenty eighteen as bad I 434 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 3: thought nineteen eighteen or back in the war when the 435 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 3: Toronto Raptors started in the NBA. You know, we didn't 436 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: make we didn't really celebrate the first Raptors game win. 437 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: The other day, it was the seventy fifth anniversary of 438 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: the Raptors playing the Knicks. When if you were taller 439 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 3: than what six eight you got in free is that 440 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: what the. 441 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you were taller than the tallest guy on the team. 442 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 4: It was something like that six six or six. 443 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that test. I was wondering why 444 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: they didn't schedule that game in Toronto the seventy fifth anniversary. 445 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: Maybe it was because of the pandemic and the Raptors 446 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: having played in Tampa, and when they're making the schedule, 447 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know, maybe they won't even be 448 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: back in Canada and playing again. So they were like, 449 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: all right, let's just play it safe and put it 450 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: in Madison Square Garden because that was a little weird 451 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: that it wasn't in Toronto, though. You can't have it 452 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: at Maple Leaf Gardens anymore. I think that's a grocery store. Yeah, 453 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: most of it playing Loblaws. 454 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: It is. 455 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: There's like a three thousand seat stadium still in Maple 456 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: Leaf Gardens for them, our old alma matter, Ryerson University. 457 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 3: But yeah, they they still have some some seats on 458 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 3: the wall. You go into the deli section, you can 459 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 3: see it at one of the old seats, sitting up 460 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: on the wall. It's like hanging there as member. Yeah, yeah, cool. 461 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 4: Is it a Loblaws? Can the stream team tell me? 462 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 4: I think it is? 463 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it is. 464 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Okay, it's a. 465 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: Beautiful Loblaws. 466 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 5: Really nice. 467 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: Actually, that's right by our old stomping grounds of Ryerson University, 468 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: where where Task JD and myself went. Mattio, Okay, let's 469 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: keep going here. Celtics found their defense. That's nice. Task Pistons, 470 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: what do you got? 471 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 4: Well? 472 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: I think the nice thing is that no one outside 473 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: Detroit really cares what the Pistons do this season, to 474 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 3: be honest, And I think, as Trey mentioned about Evan 475 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 3: Mobley and all the other rookies have sort of played 476 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: extremely well and stolen all the headlines from Kate Cunningham, 477 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 3: and that's a good thing because Kate has not been 478 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 3: playing well. The injury to start the season also was 479 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: a part of, you know, the Pistons being overlooked, but 480 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 3: Kate came in late and has really struggled. He was 481 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: four to seventeen in that game against the Sixers on Thursday, 482 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: shooting eighteen percent from the floor way back in nineteen eighteen. 483 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: It's pretty shooting, and five percent from three, So forget 484 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 3: those stats. It's ugly, but I think it's helped the 485 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: Pistons that Dwayne Casey can just you know, work on 486 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: the camaraderie and getting these young guys to play together. 487 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 3: And there is zero zilch, no expectations on this team. 488 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: They didn't you know, go out and sign a big 489 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 3: free agent acquisition that they did that last year though, 490 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 3: so there was some eyes on Jeremy Grant and those 491 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 3: guys last year. But now, especially because Kate didn't start 492 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 3: the year with the team, doesn't matter. People will not 493 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 3: watch the Detroit Pistons unless you're in Detroit. And hopefully 494 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 3: dwainn Casey gets guys like Killian Hayes to find his 495 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: way after bad season. Sadik Bay had a good first year. 496 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 3: Isaiah Beef Stewart had a beauty move against Joel Embiid 497 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 3: last night, dropping him and I didn't drop him, but 498 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 3: he shook them and went and went to the rim. 499 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: So the Pistons got some things, but nobody cares. And 500 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: that's fine, And that's fine. I think that's a nice 501 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: things that they have a bunch of young guys. It's 502 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 3: sort of like, you know, the magic last year. It's just, 503 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully they find their way because you know, 504 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 3: you don't want to be an ok C after a 505 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 3: few years. Although they're playing. 506 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: Well too, yeah, they're not gonna win a ton of games. 507 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: I think what they want to see though, is you said, 508 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: all those guys, Killian Bay, Isaiah Stewart like they have 509 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: to continue to grow, and by I mean really all 510 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: three of them. They've had a rough start to the year. 511 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: Bay's not shooting the ball that well, Isaiah's great defensively. 512 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: Uh, not really doing much on the other end. 513 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: Killian Hayes every time I watch them that oh yeah, 514 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about this, but yeah, that's what they're 515 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: looking for. They got doing Casey and now Kate with 516 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: what do you have? Eighteen and eleven? 517 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 3: Last. 518 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 4: I know he hit the glass. 519 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: I know he didn't shoot it well again, but made 520 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: his first three. 521 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. 522 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: Gotta shoot it back up, gotta shoot it from there, okay, Trey. 523 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Miami Heat. One nice thing. 524 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: One nice thing about the Miami Heat is that they 525 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 2: are the epic handshake of No Dunk's fandom. Bolls fans 526 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 2: who love Jimmy Butler meeting up with raptors, fans who 527 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: love Kyle Lowry to become Miami Heat appreciators. Yes, better yet, 528 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 2: maybe they're the epic burrito of No dunks fandom looking us. 529 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: They're touching burritos, skeets. 530 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: What a fun time with that office. I missed that flag. 531 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: Taking a little bit further here, Max Struce is the 532 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: blue eyed task Melice of the NBA as well. I 533 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: would say that's the guy who looks most like you 534 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: right now. And of course Duncan Robinson a beautiful shooter 535 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 2: of the basketball. This is a perfect team for us 536 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: to be following here. It's fun to see Butler and 537 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: Lowry fit together so well, since they are similar personality guys, 538 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: And obviously there was rumors rep of Lowry going to 539 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: the Heat all of last season. It's cool to see 540 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: it actually happen and actually them fit well together. They 541 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: got smacked last night by this Bean Town boys in 542 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: the exact kind of game. I was a little bit 543 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: fearful of where the defense is fine, but they just 544 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: can't figure it out on offense. I think that will 545 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 2: continue to happen sometimes during the season, just because the 546 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 2: Celtics did a great job at taking away transition from 547 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 2: the Heat, and if the Heat aren't able to get 548 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 2: in transition, that might be a bit of a struggle 549 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 2: in the half court at times. But in general, they're 550 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: gonna be great defensively, they're gonna play together, and every 551 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: game's gonna be a tough game against Miami. They'll be 552 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: even better in the playoffs. But great start to the 553 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 2: season so far. 554 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, they look like they're gonna be one the best 555 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: teams of the league, you know, regular season wise, evenly 556 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: as long as Butler doesn't miss his classic fifteen to 557 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: twenty games and seem with Lowry who got injured last night, 558 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's all that severe, and maybe them 559 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: being down pretty big kept him from coming back. But 560 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: to me, if those two guys play along with their 561 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: very very good team here and coach by erespressoll, they'll 562 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: be fine. They're gonna win a ton of games because 563 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: they'll do it a lot of the times with defense 564 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: and then, yeah, there'll be a stinker on offense every 565 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: once in a while, but I think that's few and 566 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: far between. 567 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a pretty big upset all things considered 568 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 6: last night that they lose at home the Celtics on 569 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 6: a back to back and bodies were dropping. I think 570 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 6: Jalen Brown left the game too. There Lowry left so 571 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 6: but yeah, the Heat team kind of look what we 572 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 6: expected them to be. Pretty tough, you know, locked in defensively, 573 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 6: and that offense, if it is flowing like it was 574 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 6: against the Mavericks the night before, very very tough to 575 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 6: defend because they can go inside with Bam or Jimmy 576 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 6: and then they just really do spread the floor. If 577 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 6: Kyle's hitting six threes a game, that's not gonna happen 578 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 6: every game. But Duncan Robinson found his shot last night, 579 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 6: and Tyler Hero talked a lot about him coming off 580 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 6: the bench giving them some great offense, So they have 581 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 6: all the components of a very very good team. 582 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: People are seen in the stream team. The Lowry injury 583 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: could be bad, Yeah, definitely could. 584 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 4: I guess I'm. 585 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: Hoping it's not. I'm hoping it's not Lee. Let's keep 586 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: moving the the Tzards, the Washington Wizards. 587 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's decent team on paper, winning not really winning 588 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 6: games with offense or defense. So fifteenth in offense the game, 589 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 6: That's what I was trying to That's what I was 590 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 6: trying to find this morning. They've scored I think they've 591 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 6: scored eight more points than they've given up this season, 592 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 6: So you know, that just shows every game does feel 593 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 6: like it's kind of close there with the Wizards. Not 594 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 6: a terrible team, there's certainly no the worst in the East, 595 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 6: but their ceiling is probably first Round. I still think 596 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 6: I don't really see them getting any further than that. 597 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 6: But a pretty good offseason for Tommy Sheppard considering they 598 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 6: turned Westbrook into you know, Kuzma KCP. Montrez and Dinwiddie 599 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 6: also has been good for them. Regular season Montrez has 600 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 6: been great. He's averaging eighteen and nine. I think it 601 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 6: is off the bench. Montrez always does this in the 602 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 6: regular season, just comes out and he works hard. But 603 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 6: it's the Wizard, so again, good steady veterans. And Bradley 604 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 6: Beal is, of course their star player. He started off 605 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 6: the season a little bit slow by his standards. Really 606 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 6: tough to make a case of them being top four 607 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 6: in the Eastern Conference though, And you know that's why. 608 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 6: I just think it doesn't really matter who they play. No, sorry, 609 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 6: I'm trying. 610 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 4: Damn. This is supposed to be n Yeah. 611 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 6: Listen, I'll say this. It's better than I thought coming 612 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 6: into the season. I looked and I just thought, just 613 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 6: another wasted season from the Wizards. But you know, not 614 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 6: the worst team in the East. That's positive. 615 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: That was a tough assignment there for it's the Washington Wizards. 616 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: It's like when somebody asked you about Jack Landale, who's 617 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 3: coming over from Australia, said he's got a little bit offense, 618 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: he's got a little bit of defense. 619 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 4: Was sometimes hard. 620 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 6: I mean, it's what did they have there? Fifteenth in 621 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 6: offense and thirteen in defense and average. Yeah, that's a 622 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 6: bad way they are, you know. 623 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: Okay, Charlotte Hornets, they have the most improved player. They 624 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: have him twenty three year old Miles Bridges. I think 625 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna win this. Through nine games, he's averaging twenty 626 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: four eight and three, shooting forty eight thirty seven eighty 627 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: seven splits. And what's crazy, Like everybody knew he had 628 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: a good year last year. We talked about it in 629 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: terms of shooting the three point shot and even scoring 630 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, and at the end of the year 631 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: he really turned it on. But this guy, I think 632 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: it's awesome. Like he comes in the eighteen draft. He's 633 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: a super impressive athlete. Like everybody's like, whoa, this guy's 634 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: like in a league full of athletes. This guy's like 635 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: sort of next level. The potential's there. But you're like, 636 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: we see guys like this all the time, and will 637 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: keep put in the work to get better at shooting 638 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: and ball handling and his ability to create for others 639 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: because if he does that and he becomes like a 640 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: really dangerous player. And again, still twenty three, and he 641 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: has just become a scoring threat sort of from all 642 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: over the floor, not just the three, but getting inside. 643 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: He's working playing well with the lamello obviously, throwing lobs 644 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and he actually like puts in 645 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: some effort on defense too. Yeah, so I think, like 646 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: the jump in scoring, he could be flirting with an 647 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: All Star nod. He's still is young, but he's been 648 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: around enough like this could be his award. And there 649 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: are other candidates, don't get me wrong, but I think 650 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: right now he's the he's the sort of the runaway 651 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: favorite with an MIP and that's great for the Hornets 652 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: because you've got LaMelo, you need some other guys around 653 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: him to put together a winning team here. And they're good, 654 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, they're Wizards. Like, if I'm being honest, I 655 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna win a first round series. But 656 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: from where they're coming from, that's okay. If they're a 657 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: playoff team and they're at least in there and they're 658 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: putting up fight and get reps for some of their 659 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: young guys. People are staying in the stream team And 660 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: I said this the other day, some concern, you know, 661 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: Terry Rozier comes back, some touches are taken away from bitches, 662 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: And I hope that's not the case because I think 663 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: he's proven that and then he'll continue to prove that 664 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: he can be like a twenty five point per game 665 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: scorer and should be because he does it efficiently. I 666 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: mean he's got like a player efficiency rating, like a 667 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: near twenty four right now, that's like a star player 668 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: type of number. Put up here, three nine or ten games. 669 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: So good on Miles Bridges and obviously a great job 670 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: putting in work because he's become a. 671 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 4: Better basketball player. 672 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: Let's go to back to test and uh, I know 673 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: we got some still Eastern Conference teams, but you go 674 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: to the West here taesk the Utah. 675 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 3: Jazz, Utah Jazz. I do believe the Denver Nuggets are 676 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: my squad? Am I am I wrong? 677 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: Excellent? Go Denver Nuggets. 678 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah you said, man, you said, Miles Bridges has become 679 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: a better basketball player. You know, the guy who won 680 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 3: MVP last year. I think he's better this year. I 681 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 3: think Nikola Jokic is better this year in many ways. 682 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: Jokich's numbers twenty five points, thirteen point four rebounds, what 683 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: five point six assists, sixty percent from the floor, which 684 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 3: would be a career high, and forty point five percent 685 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: from three, which would also be a career high. And 686 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: those rebounds, as I said, thirteen point four a career high. 687 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: He's not even first in the league, not even close. 688 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: Mister Beef Rudy Gobert is up there. There's there's a 689 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 3: couple other guys Fifteen boards a game, No big deal, 690 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: fourteen boards a game. But I say Jokicic is better 691 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: because that's sixty percent from the floor for a guy 692 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 3: who shoots from everywhere, and he's doing it without Jamal Murray. 693 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: That's so impressive. It's not typical center sixty percent. It's 694 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 3: not what Jared Allen is doing in Cleveland. But it's 695 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: not that he's just hitting shots. I think he's just 696 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 3: becoming a more selective and a better player offensively because 697 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 3: he's shooting in better spots. He's shooting more at the 698 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: rim and more threes than he has the last couple 699 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: of years. Just becoming a smarter basketball player and setting 700 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 3: everybody else up that forty percent, becoming more of an 701 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 3: accurate three point shoot. I mean, this guy does it all. Yeah, 702 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 3: the scoring is a touchdown. He's twenty six last year, 703 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: down to twenty five, and the assists are down to 704 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 3: mainly because nobody else can hit a shot. But I 705 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 3: do believe that Jokich is growing and if Jamal Murray 706 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: was there or Michael Porter Junior was better, then the 707 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 3: Nuggets would be up in that top four bracket of 708 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 3: the Western Conference and he would have a legitimate shot 709 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 3: at winning MVP. He two times in a row here, 710 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: but without the wins, that's not gonna happen. But they're 711 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: you know, they're still playing well, mainly because Jokish, their 712 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 3: fulcrum is awesome and getting better. And Michael Porter Junior 713 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: as a max guy, if he was just a little 714 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 3: bit better, the assist numbers would go up and the 715 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 3: Nuggets record would go up. So it's a good sign 716 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: in Denver. He's kind of flying under the radar, but 717 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out those stats because dude 718 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: is killing. 719 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 6: Yeah. 720 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: Apologies for slipping in a Western Conference team before we 721 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: wrapped up the East. So let's go back to them, Trey, 722 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: you got the Orlando Magic. What's one nice thing you 723 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: got to say about them? 724 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 2: One nice thing I can say about the Orlando Magic 725 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: is that Cole Anthony is straight up good. 726 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 6: Now. 727 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: He had an interesting rookie season. Hit a couple of 728 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: game winners, which was nice, but didn't shoot well from 729 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: the field, finished under forty percent, finished with thirteen points 730 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 2: per game this year, he's at eighteen point seven points 731 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: per game. He's got the percentages up, shooting forty one 732 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 2: from the field, forty percent from three. And you know, 733 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: coming into the season, Jalen Suggs was their draft pass 734 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 2: and it felt like maybe the Magic are just going 735 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: to turn things over completely to Jalen Suggs and let 736 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: him run the show and try and build up him. 737 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: But I think that Anthony has clearly improved coming into 738 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: year two. Here field goals, three point percentage, all up, scoring, 739 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: assist rebounds up up up, turnover percentage down. This part 740 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 2: of the Magic rebuild is really all about finding out 741 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: who the keepers are going to be, and at the 742 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 2: very least, Cole Anthony is a keeper. Maybe he won't 743 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 2: be a starting point guard or shooting combo guard for 744 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 2: the entirety of his career, but he could be an 745 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: awesome sixth man for the Magic at some point in 746 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: his career. And in these early stages of the rebuild, 747 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 2: it's nice to have a guy who'll take a bunch 748 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: of shots and make a fair percentage of them. 749 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 4: I've been impressed with Cole Anthony so far. 750 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would add to that too. When you see 751 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: like rookie rankings. I think they'd be very happy with 752 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: Franz Wagner making that list in contributing, like I'm seeing 753 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: him on you know, top five rookie rankings through ten games, 754 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: and that's great if they got another sort of player there. 755 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 4: Wait, what do you think, Tass? 756 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: You think Franz and Mo will be the second set 757 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: of brothers to win an NBA championship together? 758 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: Give us, give us some time a couple of years. 759 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a cole brother like bean sponsorship, Franz beans 760 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 3: and it's Frank's beans. But I think they could stretch it. 761 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 3: I love France. 762 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: Beans with the player. Okay, okay, Leally Atlanta Hawks. 763 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 6: I feel like I got high off my own supply 764 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 6: with the Hawks here because look, two weeks ago to 765 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 6: the day, that's why we slept the Nuggets in Yeah, 766 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 6: two weeks ago to the day. On this show, I 767 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 6: was saying, how confirmation bias was true. The Hawks had 768 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 6: a very good win. They were deep, you know, they 769 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 6: blew out the Mavericks and things looking great, and to 770 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 6: be honest, that was almost the high point of their 771 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 6: season so far. They're four and five right now, no 772 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 6: real injuries and even a moderate schedule, and now they 773 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 6: head out on a monster four game road trip Phoenix, 774 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 6: Golden State, Utah, Denver, and then they come home and 775 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 6: they got to play the Bucks in their first game 776 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 6: back from a long road trip. So it's actually hasn't 777 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 6: been a good season really in Atlanta. Bad loss last 778 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 6: night at home against the What's one. 779 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: Thing about the Atlanta I'm trying to find it. 780 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 6: I'm trying to dig. Like they don't have any injuries, 781 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 6: They've had a winnable schedule so far. It's very disappointing, 782 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 6: to be perfectly honest with you. Like I said last night. 783 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: We had last record, maybe, but what about like Hunter 784 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: and Reddish and like the day. 785 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 6: DeAndre Hunt has been good, Reddish has been good too, 786 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 6: But I mean, really they have the Atlanta's been disappointing. 787 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 6: Atlanta's been very disappointing so far. 788 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 4: This was my concern. Yeah, people were very high on 789 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 4: the Atlantaks. 790 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was one of those guys. And and 791 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 6: again I thought they'd bring back their star player, the coach, 792 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 6: the confidence, the momentum if you believe in that sort 793 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 6: of rubbish from a playoff run months ago. But they 794 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 6: just haven't yet had a really convincing performance other than 795 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 6: the first night against the team that I think is 796 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 6: punching above its weight in the Mavericks. And so I'm 797 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 6: a little concerned about this team right now to be honest. 798 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 6: And yeah again I mentioned their schedule fo tar road 799 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 6: games here. They could find themselves in a bit of 800 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 6: a hole like that were last season. So we'll see, 801 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 6: we'll see. Good thing, good thing. Okay, they rocked out 802 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 6: their unis last night. They looked gorgeous out on the court. 803 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 804 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm definitely gonna buy the T shirt version of that. 805 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 6: So that's a nice thing. 806 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: Okay, warning the organization with your twenty five dollars T 807 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: shirt perch. All right, that's what I was looking for there. 808 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: Let's wrap up the East. I've got the Indiana Pacers. 809 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 4: I had to. 810 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: I just had to give it to myself after you know, 811 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: freaking out yesterday. It wasn't about the Pacers, by the way, 812 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: I know the clip makes it look like I really 813 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: just didn't want to talk about the Pacers. It was 814 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: more like me saying we're not gonna get to every 815 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: game last night. 816 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 4: It's just not gonna be the way it is. 817 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: And then suddenly everybody wants their team talked about, but 818 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: the Pacers, they have a great sense of humor. I 819 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: thought their fans took it really well. Pacers fans out there, 820 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: and you drafted Christwarte and he has been incredible as 821 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: a scorer for the Pacers to start season, especially with 822 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 1: all the injuries, and he was just like thrown in there, 823 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: and man, he delivered. He's shooting forty three percent ly 824 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: from three on six attempts per game. Absurdly efficient, especially 825 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: if you're a rook I do want to know task. 826 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, are we claiming Duarte as 827 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: a good old Canadian boy? Like, I'm torn on this. 828 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: He's born in Montreal, but he grows up in the 829 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 1: Dominican Republic. 830 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 4: Like, what are we doing here? 831 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 3: I don't feel right about claiming him. Okay, sure, I 832 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 3: gotta be honest. Doesn't he play for the Dominican national 833 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 3: team team? He definitely doesn't play for the Canadian tea. 834 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the thing. Yeah, but you know 835 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: he's dual citizenship. 836 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 3: I guess yeah. I think our friend Eric Corene at 837 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 3: the Athletic called him a point five. Okay, when he's 838 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 3: out there, you give him half half credit. 839 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: Well because it was like the pacer. Yeah, well, obviously 840 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: it was a Pacers. I think it was a Raptors 841 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: game where they were pointing out like how many Canadians 842 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: were out on the floor at once because the Pacers 843 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: have a couple. And then they were including these tweets 844 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: with christ and. 845 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, yeah, you know Australian no, because he 846 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 6: plays for America. But you kind of kind of has 847 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 6: already got a dot, so you can't have a dought. Hey, 848 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 6: you need a dort b. 849 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: It took me a second, but that's. 850 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 4: Not bad for you right now. 851 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's been great d'Arte in the thirteenth spot too. 852 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: You know, look, you've got a lot of scores before 853 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: from that position over the last little bit at least 854 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: you know Zach Lavine, Donovan, Mitchell, Devin Booker, Tyler Hero. 855 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: So you know, maybe they got a star here in 856 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: Chris d'Arte in terms of scoring the ball because he's 857 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 1: an unbelievable shooter. H for sure, he's always got a 858 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 1: I was looking at like his Getty images this morning 859 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: just to get him in the thumbnail. 860 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 4: I I'll be funny to put the Pacers in there 861 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 4: and like every. 862 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: Photo he's got like a sort of like a surprised look. 863 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: It's the best way to describe it. I just is 864 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: getting a chuckle out of that. Maybe they'll have to 865 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: share a bunch of them, but yeah, good, good selection here. 866 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: I want to see this team get healthy. They had 867 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: the brutal start. They're starting to win some games though. 868 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: They're getting Carousel, Burt back and once you know, brought 869 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 1: in and all that, so they. 870 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 4: Don't They're going to turn this around with Ray Carlo. 871 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 4: I think a little bit. 872 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: Okay, tasks, you did have the jazz. 873 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 4: I think I was right. Yeah, we're right. 874 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 3: Thanks for not being a temper boy to a ski. 875 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: You're right, No, No, I only have Lee not following 876 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: the rules here today, just shooting on teams left it right? 877 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 3: What's new man? He's been doing that since eighteen, nineteen eighteen, 878 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 3: since he was born. Lee Lee got hide in his 879 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 3: own supply with the Hawks. He had some we had 880 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 3: some early nuggets, so he got you got high. You 881 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 3: want some jazz? You want to listen to some jazz 882 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: while you're high? 883 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: Manh Yeah, yeah, guy would want to sure. 884 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 3: I think I think it's I think it's all right 885 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 3: to listen to jazz when you're high, you get caught 886 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 3: in one one guy. Yeah, find the way part of. 887 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: It, sure, But I also could get anxious. I think 888 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: listening to it, what are we doing here? What are 889 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: we running here? 890 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 4: But you got the jazz tak what do you got? 891 00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: Well? 892 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 3: The jazz have a good flow, unlike jazz music at times. 893 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 3: The Utah Jazz are I think the best version of 894 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 3: themselves right now, and they can be ultra confident. They 895 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 3: can be like the Milwaukee Bucks of last year. They 896 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 3: know they're going to finish very close to the top 897 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 3: of the Western Conference standings, and they could try some 898 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 3: things defensively, change it up, you know, play maybe Rudy 899 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 3: Gay at the backup five, do some different things like 900 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 3: the Bucks did last year. Because I do think they're 901 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 3: sort of stepping in and being the best version of themselves. 902 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 3: I think they're confident in that way, and I think 903 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 3: it shows in that they're playing Mike Conley only on 904 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 3: one half of back to backs because they know they 905 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 3: need him in the postseason. And I think they should 906 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 3: be confident because teams like the Lakers and the Suns 907 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 3: and the Clippers and the MAVs, even though they're five 908 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 3: and three, have all started, you know, worse than we expected, 909 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 3: along with the Nuggets. So the fact that they're up 910 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 3: there at the top doing their thing again at seven 911 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 3: and one, the best team again in the Western Conference. 912 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 3: They I think it's just another year a grow really. 913 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 3: There's no pressure, no pressure, just like the Bucks of 914 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 3: last year. So there are a lot of teams. Julius 915 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 3: Randall has said, I think we could be the Bucks. 916 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 3: Damian Lillard is said, and I think we can be 917 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 3: the Bucks. And the Jazz as well, should be looking 918 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 3: at the Milwaukee Bucks and thinking just one run, baby, 919 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 3: and let's work as a team. And I think I 920 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 3: think one other thing is that Donovan Mitchell is also 921 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 3: probably looking at Yannis, even though he hasn't put it 922 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 3: on record and said, you know what, Yannis was incredible, 923 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 3: but he believes in his team. So Donovan Mitchell's got 924 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 3: to got to do that a little bit more and 925 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 3: hopefully he says, I think we can be the Milwaukee Bucks. 926 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 3: That's that's the goal for everybody in the Jazz. God, 927 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 3: it does it feel like anyone else can win the 928 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 3: one seed in the West. Doesn't feel like. 929 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 1: It, No but it also doesn't matter with them at 930 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: this point. It's just like the pressure comes come playoff 931 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: time and can they like get over those demons and 932 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: win a bunch of series. But yeah, they look great. Clarkson, 933 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: I mean caught fire at the Fortress last night. 934 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 4: It was a game. 935 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like a one point game and then 936 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: they like blew them out of the water. They could 937 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,320 Speaker 1: miss a shutdown stretch. 938 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 6: Well, he missed twenty two threes in a row I 939 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 6: think game and then he could not miss. But that's 940 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 6: what you get with him, you know. Yeah, those and 941 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 6: colds streaks. 942 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: Okay, Trey Minnesota Timberwolves. 943 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 2: Nice thing about the Minnesota Timberwolves is that only three 944 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 2: people know Carl Anthony Town's Twitter password, so clearly he 945 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 2: was hacked when his account liked that tweet that said 946 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 2: hashtag free cat. Seriously, Skeates, you should have asked this 947 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 2: question last week when they were three and one. They 948 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 2: lost three straight. This week, you lost to the Nuggets 949 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 2: and Clippers. Timberwolves, that's fine by me. Losing by eighteen 950 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 2: to the Magic though, that one is a yike. So honestly, 951 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 2: the nicest thing I can say is that when Karl 952 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 2: Anthony Towns leaves. At least you've already got a franchise 953 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 2: guy waiting in the wings in Anthony Edwards, because that 954 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 2: guy is the face of the franchise. 955 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 3: Now. 956 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 2: It ain't happening for Towns in Minnesota. So last week though, 957 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 2: they were looking good. 958 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: That's a nice thing to say about them. 959 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to Leela's this one here. It's been a 960 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 2: week for the timber Walls. Look, okay, I didn't say 961 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 2: these were going to be easy. Okay, some of them 962 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: are Utah jazz. 963 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 4: They're awesome. They never lose. Yes, some of these you 964 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 4: got to struggle to come up with some of them. 965 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: But it's a fascinating take on Your star player is 966 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,919 Speaker 1: going to leave. 967 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 4: But don't worry. You got another star wedding in the wedding. 968 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you got to get creative sometimes with these 969 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: all right, Lee Blazers, Man, oh look at you. All 970 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: you do is get stoned. 971 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 6: The good thing is we're due for a Damian lilit 972 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 6: eruption over the next week or so time. Sometime soon, 973 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 6: he's going to go on one of those runs five 974 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 6: or six games in a row, probably hit a couple 975 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 6: of game winners and get his averages and numbers back 976 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 6: up because he started off slow. The Blazers have started 977 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 6: off slow, so you just know it's coming. He's far 978 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 6: too good to sort of stay in this slump that 979 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 6: he's in right now, by his standards, and the Blazers 980 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 6: as always, you know, they throughout the season they do 981 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 6: sort of roll the coaster around a bit where they 982 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 6: up and down. They're down a bit right now, but 983 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 6: they're going to go on one of those runs and 984 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 6: have people like me going, maybe it's this is the 985 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 6: year for them. But yeah, it's been a rough start 986 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 6: in Portland as well, So that's I. 987 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 1: See, I didn't purposely give you teams that were like 988 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,399 Speaker 1: just sort of well, I. 989 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 6: Mean, I know you said a positive thing, but I'm 990 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 6: trying to make an honest assessment too right now. And uh, 991 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 6: you know, Liland, by his standards, has struggled, but he's 992 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 6: far too good to stay in this, you know, in 993 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 6: this sort of rot that he's in right now. Yeah, 994 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 6: he'll yeah erupt soon. 995 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you, it's coming. It's just a matter of time, 996 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be It'll be like forty point forty 997 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: five point games from him where he hits eight nine threes. Yeah, 998 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. So they got to still 999 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: work on their defense and you know, try and turn 1000 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: that around and get that little bit better. But Chouncey 1001 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 1: Bilps has switched up the defensive scheme a little bit 1002 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:44,359 Speaker 1: and see if they. 1003 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 4: Can get there. 1004 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: Okay, I got the Thunder. This was easy after last 1005 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: night's scheme. The Oklahoma City Thunder are great at humiliating 1006 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 1: the Lakers, and it is LA Chef's kiss. Thunder outscored 1007 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: the Lakers thirty five to twenty four in the fourth. 1008 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: Last night they won again one O seven on four 1009 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: second come from behind victory against La. They were hellied 1010 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 1: from twenty six back. I guess just last week and 1011 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:13,560 Speaker 1: then nineteen points last night and SGA splashing a thirty 1012 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: four to thirty five footer from the Lakers logo a 1013 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: true logo shot task. 1014 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 4: I think you're agreed. 1015 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, with about I was like one twenty left in 1016 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 1: the game at put OKC Up six. I mean it 1017 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: was it was an insane shot. If he misses it, 1018 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: you're like, what the hell are you doing? 1019 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,919 Speaker 6: There was a lot of time left on the shot clock. 1020 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he said, you know, he takes it in practice. 1021 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: He said he was feeling good, the momentum took him 1022 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: into it and splashed it. And they win this game. 1023 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean, no, Lebron and both of them, but come on, 1024 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 1: you're the Lakers. You should be beating the Oklahoma City Thunder, 1025 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: who haven't beaten anybody else in this league besides the Lakers. 1026 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: But wow, what what a what a game from the 1027 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: Thunder and SGA specifically and Entrey. You know, I don't 1028 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: want to get ahead of myself because the record still stinks, 1029 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: but my I'm starting to see a lot of SGA 1030 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 1: All Star talk from other NBA media members out there. 1031 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, let's go, let's get that train move 1032 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: in here. So I don't know, I think it's still 1033 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: pretty far fetched that he makes it. Maybe injury replacement 1034 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 1: is his best chance. But he's awesome. He is awesome, 1035 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 1: He really is. And you know, I can't believe they beat. 1036 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 4: The Lakers twice here. 1037 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,280 Speaker 2: He's All Star caliber and if they played the Lakers 1038 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 2: every single night, you can lock him. 1039 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I will say one more to add. 1040 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: OKAC has awesome podcast coverage too, for especially like a 1041 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: small market team down to dunk OKAC dream Team Andrew 1042 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: Schleck and Alex Spears on Saturday Slamm and Jam, which 1043 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 1: is the athletic NBA show. They did a cool thing. Lee, 1044 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: I really wanted you to listen to it because you 1045 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: had some thoughts about Oka see not too long ago, 1046 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: five things your favorite podcaster gets wrong about the Thunder 1047 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: and they're rebuild and it. 1048 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 4: Honestly, it was like a great idea. 1049 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: It is a great concept for a podcast, like not 1050 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: just us, but a bunch of other obviously NBA podcasts 1051 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, shitting on OKAC and they 1052 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: got all these million picks and what are they doing? 1053 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: And unfair criticism, don't get me wrong, but they sort 1054 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 1: of like sort of countered that with like, come on, 1055 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 1: this is what's really going on. The main thing was 1056 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,879 Speaker 1: like why do you guys keep saying this like it's 1057 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: been like ten years of tanking. It's hasn't been that 1058 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: long for this franchise, So go check that out. They 1059 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,879 Speaker 1: got great coverage there, and we love our guy Andrew Schlack, 1060 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: who filled in for JD once upon a time and 1061 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: and maybe will again if JD can never get down 1062 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 1: from the mountaintop. 1063 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: That is curly I'm going on Saturday slamming jam this. 1064 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: Oh there you go, a nice plug. 1065 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 4: There you go. 1066 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not talking about talking nice about the Okac Thunder. 1067 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 3: No ways, talking about the raptors and stuff, but nice 1068 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 3: the Thunder. They're fun and I guess I hate. I'm 1069 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 3: in on the jerseys. I'm going to be watching tonight 1070 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,120 Speaker 3: to see those white jerseys and how they look on 1071 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 3: the floor because all that prey. 1072 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:44,479 Speaker 4: Like night Friday nights. 1073 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 3: You're right, yeah, Friday night and Okay, I'm excited. 1074 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: Okay, great, let's keep it going, tass. I think I 1075 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: have this right. 1076 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 4: I got you down for the Phoenix Suns. 1077 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 3: The Phoenix Suns. What's nice about them right now? Well, 1078 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:06,320 Speaker 3: they've got a huge scandal alleging all sorts of misogyny, racism, 1079 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 3: just a toxic workplace overall. I think the nice thing, 1080 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 3: if you're looking at the basketball side of things, is 1081 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 3: they have a bunch of professionals that will deal with 1082 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 3: this mess and will go about their business. Mainly I'm 1083 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 3: looking at Monty Williams as their head coach, and man, 1084 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 3: it's all business. He's extremely serious. He's already talked about 1085 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 3: this with Sam Ammick about the whole deal with Robert 1086 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 3: Sarver in the organization. He's taking a bit of a 1087 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 3: wait and see approach. You can see that on the 1088 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 3: athletic but I know he will manage things, as will 1089 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 3: Chris Paul as a leader of that locker room. And 1090 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 3: I'm sure it's been very difficult the last few weeks 1091 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 3: because Robert Sarver came out with these statements pushing back 1092 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 3: on the report which was to come and it came 1093 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,880 Speaker 3: yesterday on ESPN. But I think the Suns I have 1094 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 3: really weathered the storm now sitting at four and three, 1095 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 3: and you can tell that they're all professional and they're 1096 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 3: because Monty Williams even came out and said, I'm proud 1097 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 3: of how the team handled not only yesterday's game when 1098 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 3: they came out and they finished off the Rockets in 1099 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 3: the second half, but in the morning when ESPN's story 1100 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,879 Speaker 3: broke in Phoenix and he feels that everybody is sort 1101 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 3: of together and it's going to it's going to galvanize 1102 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 3: the squad and everything beside that. As the investigation goes on, 1103 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,919 Speaker 3: which we'll talk about a little bit later in the show, 1104 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 3: is going to be different. But the basketball side of 1105 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 3: things I think they're going to be fine, and I'm 1106 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 3: sure it has been difficult, but at four and three, 1107 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 3: kudos to Monty Williams, who is a leader of men, 1108 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 3: and as well as Chris Paul I'm sure taking care 1109 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 3: of business there. 1110 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to the Sun's story from ESPN there 1111 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show, but we'll keep 1112 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: it moving here. Trey the Kings. 1113 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 2: Can I say anything nicer than Harrison Barnes is invited 1114 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,680 Speaker 2: to the MVP table. I thought that it was pretty 1115 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 2: nice to say. But how about this one. You don't 1116 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,320 Speaker 2: have the worst defense in the league anymore. Twenty second 1117 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 2: from thirtieth a massive improvement. Kings are four and four 1118 00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 2: right now. They've got wins over the Blazers and Suns, 1119 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 2: and they beat the Pelicans twice. All of their losses 1120 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 2: are against playoff teams. So you beat the teams that 1121 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 2: are worse than you, you win some against the better teams. 1122 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:13,319 Speaker 4: You're in the mix for the. 1123 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 2: Play in You just can't have that massive bad stretch 1124 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 2: that tends to happen to the Kings before they start 1125 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,439 Speaker 2: clawing back at the end of the season to make 1126 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 2: things interesting. So ah, no, No, some teams got to 1127 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 2: finish tenth in the Western Conference. Maybe it's the Kings, 1128 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 2: you know, dear and Fox theoretically will come around at 1129 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 2: some point. Maybe they're able to balance the roster a 1130 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 2: little more if somebody's interested in a buddy healed or 1131 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 2: if things go poorly, you could ship heeled out, you 1132 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 2: could ship Harrison Barnes somewhere, and you know, try and 1133 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 2: bring in some other players who need a little bit 1134 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 2: of a rehab. 1135 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 4: Or something like that. So, I don't know. 1136 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,760 Speaker 2: If the Kings have had a solid start to the season, 1137 00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,880 Speaker 2: which is good. It's tough to buy into the Kings 1138 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,560 Speaker 2: having a solid start, But you'd rather them start four 1139 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 2: and four than zh and eight and be out of 1140 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 2: it right away. 1141 00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 4: That's true. 1142 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,720 Speaker 1: Lee, You've got the Los Angeles Lakers. Man, I'm sorry 1143 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: after that last time. 1144 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 6: Wow, here's a great thing for them. Do you remember 1145 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 6: when Carmelo Anthony joined the Thunder and someone asked him 1146 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 6: about coming off the bench and he kind of laughed 1147 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 6: and said, who me. Well, Carmelo Anthony right now could 1148 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 6: potentially take home the sixth Man of the Year award 1149 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 6: seventeen points a game off the bench on over fifty 1150 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 6: percent from Downtown, and if he was to win it, 1151 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 6: he would become the oldest player ever to win the 1152 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 6: sixth Man of the Year. J Mile Crawford currently holds 1153 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,680 Speaker 6: that record. He was thirty five and twenty sixteen. Mellows 1154 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 6: thirty seven right now. In fact, Mellow will be thirty eight. 1155 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 6: His birthday is May twenty nine. He'll be thirty eight 1156 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 6: by the time the award is given out if he 1157 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 6: was to win it. So Carmelo Anthony playing fantastic basketball 1158 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 6: off the bench, just shooting threes. That's all he has 1159 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 6: to do when he's doing it very very nicely. Right now, 1160 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 6: seven of the lakers nine games so far have been 1161 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 6: at Staples, and they've got five of their next six 1162 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 6: here at Staples, so they've got a very heavy home schedule. 1163 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 6: They're five and four right now, So the Lakers are 1164 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 6: winning games, and Melife might be winning an award right 1165 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 6: for the likes right, cool. 1166 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 1: Money right there. I got the Warriors, the Golden State Warriors. 1167 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 1: Good thing about them. They've developed a defensive identity. And 1168 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: this is all even before Clay's come back. They're six 1169 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 1: and one. Golden State is they allowed ninety seven point 1170 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 1: eight points per one hundred possession that's the best defensive 1171 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: efficiency in the NBA. Now, they were good last year, 1172 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 1: if they're even better right now this year, which makes sense. 1173 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,720 Speaker 1: Draymond Green is still elite. They've got the system in place. 1174 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: They reacquire Andre Igodol, who is still a good defender, 1175 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 1: and then Gary Payton, the second who we talked about. 1176 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: I guess on yesterday show. He's just a menace defensively 1177 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: and is deserving them all these minutes he's getting. So 1178 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 1: this squad, I mean they had that stretch on I 1179 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: guess it was Wednesday night's game against the Hornets, like 1180 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 1: an eight or nine minute window where they kept them 1181 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: to without a field goal and like force them into 1182 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: like seven turnovers, winning them a lot of games. They 1183 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 1: look legit, and Clay is warming up in full uniform. 1184 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 1: Yeah really ellish. Yeah, like not just sweats and a 1185 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: T shirt. I'm putting on the brand new uniform and 1186 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm getting up these corner threes. And Lebron is tweeting 1187 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: how he could watch Clay shoot for the rest of time, 1188 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: and it's true. 1189 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 4: It's a beautiful shot. So this is great. 1190 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: This is just an unbelievable start here from Golden State 1191 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: that their defense is the best right now, and Clay 1192 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: is no slouch defensively. It's the crazy part. We think 1193 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 1: of him as one of the greatest three point shooters 1194 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:24,839 Speaker 1: of all time. 1195 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 4: He is, but he's good defensively. 1196 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: We'll see how he is coming back from the injury 1197 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: if he slowed drastically. But awesome start for them. Not 1198 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 1: much more to add because they've really, really, quite frankly, 1199 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: surprised me out of the gate. 1200 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 4: I thought they'd be good. I didn't think they'd be great, 1201 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 4: and they appear to be great right now. Task you 1202 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 4: got the. 1203 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 3: Clippers, well, I think the good thing about the Clippers. 1204 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 3: What's nice about them is they're not making headlines. I 1205 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,359 Speaker 3: think it's pretty good that no one's talking about them 1206 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 3: because this is finally a stable franchise. They're just kind 1207 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 3: of there. I think they're kind of like the Jazz, 1208 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 3: kind of like the Bucks of last year, kind of 1209 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 3: like the Raptors of a couple of years ago. And 1210 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 3: maybe they can make their run because last year, I 1211 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 3: think it's easy to forget they started sixteen and five, 1212 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 3: but I think this year they're three and four. Start 1213 00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 3: is even better. I think they're in a better place 1214 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 3: last year, they had a lot of moving parts still 1215 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 3: to implement. They went and got Reggie Jackson or signed him, 1216 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,480 Speaker 3: Nikola Batoom, Terrence Man became part of the rotation. They 1217 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,959 Speaker 3: got Rondo out of there. Kawhi wasn't under contract last 1218 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 3: year long term, but they signed him in the offseason. 1219 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 3: They have their team going forward. Feels like this is 1220 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 3: going to be their team going into the playoffs. They 1221 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 3: have their identity. It's a jump shooting team that's been 1222 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 3: through it together, went to the Western Conference Final, and 1223 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 3: if they finally had a game this week where they 1224 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 3: look like that team, it was a phenomenal win for 1225 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,360 Speaker 3: them against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which they just looked like 1226 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 3: that team that went to the Western Conference final. So 1227 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,480 Speaker 3: I think it's really it's a good thing about them 1228 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 3: is that it's no drama right now NDC, No drama Clippers. 1229 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 6: There. 1230 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,359 Speaker 1: Paul George is leading the league in points per game 1231 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,879 Speaker 1: and steals. Some's some Michael Jordan shit right there. I'm 1232 00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: trying to think of like the last guy to do that. 1233 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know if Jordan did it, to be honest, 1234 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: but yeah, that's wild. Three steels per game for Paul 1235 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: George and he's flirt what he's write something like twenty 1236 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:08,439 Speaker 1: nine points per game. 1237 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:09,879 Speaker 4: Great start. 1238 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 1: Okay, so you like that they're sort of just no 1239 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: one's really talking about them all that much in a 1240 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:13,919 Speaker 1: good way. 1241 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. Great, Yeah, pg's PG obviously playing great. And you 1242 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 3: also said this week we're not in We're not a 1243 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 3: young team. I think there's some urgency there that they know. 1244 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 3: They know, like look around, look around that room, you know, 1245 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 3: b toom Oldie, Morris Oldie. I think Kawhi when those 1246 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 3: likes come back. They're a real Vett team that they 1247 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 3: know the window ain't huge, So I think I think 1248 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,399 Speaker 3: they're they're all business this year. 1249 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 1: Trey and Dallas Mavericks. 1250 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 2: The MAVs are twenty seventh on offense, seventeenth on defense. 1251 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,720 Speaker 2: They're MVP candidate Luka Doncic is shooting twenty five percent 1252 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 2: from three. His running mate Kristaps Porzingis has played three games, 1253 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,479 Speaker 2: struggled in all of them. But guess what, you're five 1254 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 2: and three. Don't be so hard on yourself. You're not 1255 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:03,640 Speaker 2: a piece of space age titanium. The MAVs are fine 1256 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 2: five and three. Lisas they're punching above their weight maybe so. 1257 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 2: I think people are just expecting the Mavericks to be 1258 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 2: a title contender because they have an MVP contender. Obviously, 1259 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 2: Doncich hasn't been great out of the gate, but he 1260 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 2: will get better as the season progresses. The MAVs will 1261 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 2: start shooting better from three, And if they're able to 1262 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,280 Speaker 2: get anything from Porzingis, whether it be on the court 1263 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,640 Speaker 2: or in some sort of a trade, that would be huge. 1264 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 2: It feels like the MAVs got some moves to make 1265 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 2: at some point because there are holes all up and 1266 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 2: down the roster, but somehow they're still winning these games 1267 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 2: early in the season, which is what you gotta do. 1268 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 2: If you're gonna be able to finish in the top four. 1269 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 2: That would be nice for the MAVs. Top six I 1270 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,319 Speaker 2: think is probably more reasonable, more realistic. But for as 1271 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 2: much drama as it feels like there is around the Mavericks, 1272 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 2: they're actually doing okay, you know, not playing well, but 1273 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:51,800 Speaker 2: winning games. 1274 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 1: Lee, we go to you with the Memphis Scruzzlies. 1275 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 6: Well, they've got the most fun player to watch in 1276 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 6: the league easily right now for me. Anyway. Jarmarant We 1277 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,320 Speaker 6: asked last week whether or not he could stay top five, 1278 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 6: finished top five in scoring. He's equal fourth right now, 1279 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 6: so technically he is. The Grizzlies are five and three. 1280 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 6: But there's a red flag, a major red flag here 1281 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 6: for the Grizzlies. They have the worst defense rating in 1282 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 6: the NBA. That to me surprised me. I assume to 1283 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 6: be Pelicans, Pistons, Magic, you know, the Kings are always in 1284 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 6: that category, but it's actually the Grizzlies. So they've been 1285 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 6: winning games despite having a pretty bad defense. But I 1286 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 6: think when you watch these games, it does feel like 1287 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 6: it almost comes down to that last possession or two, 1288 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 6: So I think jar Morant has really covered for a 1289 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 6: lot of their issues on that end. But he's also 1290 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 6: been so spectacular on the other end that he's a 1291 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 6: legit MVP candidate. You know, today will that hole throughout 1292 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 6: the season? We'll find out. But Grizzlies, every single time 1293 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 6: jar Morant touches the ball, he's in to do some 1294 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 6: spectacular move with it, and that's been incredibly fun to watch. 1295 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,200 Speaker 6: So Grizzlies are great. I obviously hope they can keep 1296 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 6: it up and can make the playoffs, but as the 1297 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 6: season progresses, they are going to have to tidy up 1298 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 6: things on that defensive end or else that will come 1299 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 6: back to bought him in the backside, I think. 1300 00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 1: But like you said, it's great that they're winning games 1301 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: for the most part having the worst defense. If that 1302 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 1: only ticks up a little bit, then they should continue 1303 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: to win games, you would think. Great fact check here 1304 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 1: from I believe it was Jerry in the stream team 1305 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 1: I was saying, like, who's the last guy to lead 1306 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: the league in scoring and steeles per game? Steph Curry 1307 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 1: in his second MVP the unanimous one led the league 1308 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 1: in scoring and did have the lead in steels at 1309 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:28,800 Speaker 1: two point one per game. So good call Jerry back 1310 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: in what's that fifteen sixteen? Yeah, yeah, great stuff. My 1311 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 1: final team is the San Antonio Spurs. What I like 1312 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: about them or one nice thing to say about them? 1313 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 1: They keep things interesting a lot of the time. If 1314 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: you watch Spurs games, they're generally in it even if 1315 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 1: they lose. I remember great and Gordian, our guy that 1316 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,120 Speaker 1: does the F one podcast No Breaks with Trey. He's 1317 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,959 Speaker 1: a Spurs fan and he tweeted like, at the start 1318 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 1: of the season, Spurs lose close, hard fought game is 1319 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 1: going to be pretty frequent. Headline this season, and he's 1320 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: sort of knocking that one out of the park, that prediction. 1321 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: They lost to the Nuggets by six. 1322 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 4: That was close. 1323 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 1: They split a pair against the NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks. 1324 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: They lost to the Lakers in an overtime game. They 1325 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 1: lost two games to the Mavericks by it combined six points, 1326 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 1: one by five. The other night they lost that one 1327 00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: by one where they tried to chuck it down there 1328 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 1: over Boban who was guarding the inbound and couldn't get 1329 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 1: really good look. So they're in a lot of games. 1330 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: They lose them for the most part, that's okay. Though 1331 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 1: they got a young team here, they are fun to watch. 1332 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 1: Peartl's been great. But de Jontay Murray too. Just looking 1333 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 1: at his numbers. 1334 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 4: Eighteen, eight and eight, this. 1335 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 1: Guy's like flirting with a triple double. Those are his 1336 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 1: averages with two steals per game. So there's gonna be 1337 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,960 Speaker 1: a lot of losses, but it's okay if you're sort 1338 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: of in them and you're going through the growing pains 1339 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 1: and you've got some what appeared to be like some 1340 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: really good foundational pieces there in San Antonio, and I 1341 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 1: think that's just the way it's gonna be So that's 1342 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: my nice thing to say about them. 1343 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,960 Speaker 4: We have two teams left. It's a perfect tank from 1344 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 4: San Antonio. 1345 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 2: Yah lay in fast the second or third highest pace 1346 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 2: in the league right now. They've got exciting young players. 1347 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 2: They keep it close and then they. 1348 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 4: Lose in the ends. 1349 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah awesome, Yeah, that's true. Uh, tests take us home here, 1350 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 1: you got one more and than Trey's got the final one, 1351 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: but you got the Rockets tests. 1352 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 3: Hmmm. Something nice to say about the Houston Rockets. I 1353 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 3: would say that Eric Gordon. You remember him? Yeah, it's 1354 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 3: hard to it's hard to remember Eric Gordon deep on 1355 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 3: a roster that is trying to to play a lot 1356 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 3: of young guys. I think Eric Gordon is extremely tradable 1357 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 3: because he is leading the league in three point percentage. 1358 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 3: Shocking that he's coming off the bench. He's shooting a 1359 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 3: good amount, decent amount. He's shooting fifty five percent from three. 1360 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 3: A guy sticks out like a sore thumb on that roster. 1361 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,960 Speaker 3: Everyone has been else. Everyone else has been traded from 1362 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 3: that team that went to the conference finals. You know 1363 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,120 Speaker 3: you're James Harden, your clin Capels, those type of guys. 1364 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 3: He's still hanging around, but a contender would love him, 1365 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 3: and I think his contract is tradable enough. At first, 1366 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 3: I thought, well, he's got a guaranteed year next year. 1367 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 3: Maybe a contender doesn't want that, but maybe a contender 1368 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 3: is okay with a little bit of stability. Have him 1369 01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 3: around for a year. This year nineteen mil next year, 1370 01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 3: it's the year fourteen for him. He's thirty three on 1371 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 3: Christmas Day. Look that up Christmas Day, babe. So that's 1372 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 3: nice for the Rockets. I think they can get something 1373 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,800 Speaker 3: back for him. Offer a draft pick to Rafaelstone. He 1374 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 3: shall take it, and I would say besides that, Jalen 1375 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 3: Green is making highlights. He's not winning the Rookie of 1376 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 3: the Year at this point. He's not close to it. 1377 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 3: With the way other guys are playing. The percentages are bad, 1378 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. He's hitting one of every three 1379 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 3: shots and that one is a highlight. It's a monster, 1380 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 3: a deep shot. So that's if you're tuning into watch 1381 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 3: Jalen Green play well as a rocketsman. He's not, but 1382 01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 3: who cares. From our perspective, From the perspective of twenty 1383 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 3: nine other teams, it's cool to watch Jalen Green hit 1384 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 3: monster shots. 1385 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 1: He might have the Anthony Edwards sort of Rookie of 1386 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,320 Speaker 1: the Year trajectory, work possible, struggles out of the gate, 1387 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: but then turns it on and has like a hot 1388 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:58,440 Speaker 1: month or two. I could see that happening with the Rockets. 1389 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 1: But Eric auhen so you think'll be on. You can 1390 01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,080 Speaker 1: see him being on like a playoff contender or whatever 1391 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 1: and contributing in playoff minutes in a role something. 1392 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still hitting, he's still playing while he's he's young. 1393 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,960 Speaker 3: You know, he's not even thirty three, but you know 1394 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 3: he'll be thirty three in a play that's young. Even 1395 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 3: though it seems like he's been around forever. He seems 1396 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 3: older and a guy who's been through the window. The 1397 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 3: up of the Houston Rockets. Well now they're on the down, 1398 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 3: and I'm sure he wants out. So I'm sure he's 1399 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 3: looking at that trade deadline two more months, hopefully hopefully 1400 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 3: for him. 1401 01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Just keep hitting three pointers, Eric and yeah, yeah, the 1402 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 1: chances are high someone will trade something for you. 1403 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 2: Eric Gordon and DJ Augustine he's also a Houston Rocket. 1404 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 4: Every time I see them, I'm. 1405 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:49,640 Speaker 1: Like, oh right, right, nice, all right, final team here, 1406 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 1: we did this in about an hour. I'm not too 1407 01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:54,200 Speaker 1: angry with that New Orleans Pelicans Trey. 1408 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:54,800 Speaker 4: What do you got? 1409 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: What's one nice thing to say about the Pelicans? 1410 01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 2: I love Jonas Valanciunas's slick back hair. Looks good, looks good, 1411 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,080 Speaker 2: And honestly, Valentunis has been the best thing about the 1412 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 2: Pelicans this season. Nineteen points per game, fourteen rebounds per game, 1413 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 2: forty nine percent from the field, fifty three from three, 1414 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 2: and ninety from the line. A fifty to forty ninety 1415 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 2: season from Yonis Valentunis. That would be pretty fun to see. 1416 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 2: But this has been a disaster season already for the Pelicans. 1417 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 2: As we know, Zion is out. We don't know when 1418 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 2: he's coming back. He's going to be reevaluated in a 1419 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 2: couple of weeks here, but not coming back anytime soon. 1420 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram has missed time. But Valentunis, he's a solid 1421 01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 2: inning Zeter. Throw it to him in the post, let 1422 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 2: him mash, let him score some buckets. Yeah, I don't 1423 01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 2: know that it's been a bad season for the Pelicans. 1424 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,240 Speaker 2: This is maybe the hardest one to find a positive 1425 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 2: for because you know they were at least scheduled to 1426 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 2: be perhaps a playing team, and they certainly don't want 1427 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 2: to be taking this kind of a step backwards. But 1428 01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 2: Valentunis looks good with his hair and he's doing valanchown 1429 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 2: his stuff, which was fun to watch with the Grizzlies 1430 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,480 Speaker 2: last year and fun again here on the Pelicans. 1431 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: Do you think he's sloppy steaks? 1432 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 3: Oh? 1433 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think he's slopping him up on the regular. 1434 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1435 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,280 Speaker 2: He has a sloppy begne down there, and New Orleans 1436 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 2: probably doesn't hold up to dumping water on a very 1437 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,560 Speaker 2: soggy Okay there. 1438 01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,160 Speaker 1: It is one nice thing for the most part about 1439 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 1: all thirty NBA teams. We're gonna take our first break 1440 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,000 Speaker 1: when we come back. We will get into the NBA 1441 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 1: launching an investigation into the Phoenix Suns. We got five 1442 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:35,720 Speaker 1: star Friday, I got a whole lot more. So don't 1443 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,320 Speaker 1: go anywhere, all right, back with no dunks here on 1444 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: a Friday. Drop big news yesterday in the NBA world. 1445 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: The NBA is launching an investigation into the Phoenix Suns 1446 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,520 Speaker 1: and their owner, Robert Sarver, after Sarver was accused of 1447 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 1: fostering a toxic and hostile work environment during his seventeen 1448 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,640 Speaker 1: years with the team. In an ESPN story that was 1449 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 1: posted on Thursday morning, The investigation includes interviews with more 1450 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 1: than seventy former current Son's employees. Now, Sarver is accused 1451 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 1: of making racially insensitive comments and fostering misogynistic excuse me 1452 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,600 Speaker 1: environment that discouraged women from reporting issues to HR. He's 1453 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 1: also accused of meddling with his coaches, going as far 1454 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,720 Speaker 1: as drawing up his own plays. Sarv denied the allegations 1455 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: in a statement nearly two weeks ago. If you remember 1456 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 1: that when reports that the story was in the works 1457 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 1: surfaced on Twitter, and he did so again on Thursday, 1458 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: saying the story contained so much that is inaccurate and 1459 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: misleading end quote there. So, task, what was your reaction 1460 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 1: to this news breaking there on Thursday morning? Actually seeing 1461 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: what we knew was coming, but in all the detail. 1462 01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:46,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and from reportedly seventy people who either used to 1463 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 3: work for the team or currently work for the team. 1464 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 3: My initial thought was this is a horrible place to work, 1465 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 3: and I think there's plenty of proof of that. Sarver 1466 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 3: brought the team in two thousand and four. According to 1467 01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 3: the report, within the first DEECA a few of the 1468 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 3: other members. So the ownership group were looking to get 1469 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,640 Speaker 3: him out, but when they looked into it, he would 1470 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,880 Speaker 3: have to have committed something criminal or similarly egregious, so 1471 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 3: that would have been difficult at that point. And you know, 1472 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 3: in contrast so that, NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said, the 1473 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 3: League has not received a complaint of misconduct at the 1474 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 3: Sun's organization through any of our processes, including our confidential 1475 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 3: workplace Misconduct hotline or other correspondence. And I think there's 1476 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 3: a reason for that because people feared reporting their problems. 1477 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 3: A bunch of HR people, who it's in their nature 1478 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 3: to take care of their employees, were interviewed for this 1479 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 3: from the Phoenix Suns, you know, current and pasted, and 1480 01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 3: multiple HR reps said, if you got a problem, don't 1481 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,560 Speaker 3: go to HR because they're going to come after you. 1482 01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,920 Speaker 3: They will fire you. So there's a predatory behavior there, 1483 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,439 Speaker 3: right If you threaten me, you'll be canned. And so 1484 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 3: the HR people said, you know, I would hope that 1485 01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 3: they would sue after they were wrongfully fired because I 1486 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,800 Speaker 3: knew they would get money. So whenever we would see 1487 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 3: the claims come in, this HR person said, I'd be like, well, 1488 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 3: at least that person's going to get some money, that's 1489 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 3: how they would deal with things. But now all of 1490 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,640 Speaker 3: these people have come together and Baxter Homes reporting is 1491 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:20,320 Speaker 3: extremely thorough here, and it's like when Donald Serny was 1492 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 3: banned from the league as owner of the Clippers because 1493 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 3: there are racial accusations. But it's unlike that because there 1494 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,800 Speaker 3: isn't audio proof as there was back in twenty fourteen. 1495 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 3: But there are a lot of people coming forward who 1496 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 3: have gathered here, and it just seems like, yes, Robert 1497 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 3: Sarver obviously has his position to reply and rebut everything 1498 01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,280 Speaker 3: that's been said here, but the statement that he put 1499 01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,440 Speaker 3: out and the statements that he had in this article, 1500 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 3: it would make you speculate, why would you have to 1501 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 3: say something like I never talked about condoms or oral sex, 1502 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 3: or rewrite the that he used racial slurs if there 1503 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 3: wasn't anything to it. And it just seems like, as 1504 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 3: I've said, it goes back to two thousand and four. 1505 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 3: It seemed like people were trying to get him out 1506 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 3: a long time ago, and it just seems like, as 1507 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 3: somebody said in the article, if the commissioner comes in 1508 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 3: and investigates to see what the bleep is going on 1509 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 3: in Phoenix, he would be appalled. And so we will 1510 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 3: see this investigation go on for I believe, you know, 1511 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,839 Speaker 3: a decent amount of time. Unlike what happened with the Clippers. 1512 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 3: It took four days for the NBA to come to 1513 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 3: an to a decision along with the investigation, this is 1514 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 3: going to be far longer, and there's just so many 1515 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,360 Speaker 3: people to talk to as well. There has to be 1516 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 3: a lot of legwork to be done here by the 1517 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 3: investigators and by the league. So that's it's going to 1518 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 3: be a while. But it would sure seem like to 1519 01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 3: me that they would come to the same conclusion that 1520 01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,600 Speaker 3: the owner needs to be needs to pass on the 1521 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 3: team to somebody else because it's not a nice place 1522 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 3: to work. It's a horrible, toxic place to work. It true. 1523 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,400 Speaker 3: Seems like with all of these accusations that are happening. 1524 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 6: Well, obviously very disturbing, Yeah, horrific to read through. If 1525 01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 6: people can't report these sorts of things safely within the 1526 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:24,639 Speaker 6: confines of the organization, then that's obviously very bad as 1527 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 6: far as I can see. I mean, Robert Sava acknowledged 1528 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 6: some of that behavior, which is also disturbing because he 1529 01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 6: sort of admits that some of that went on. He 1530 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 6: obviously disputed other aspects of it. But as far as 1531 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 6: I could see, if if someone is accusing you of 1532 01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 6: these things racial and misogynistic behavior and it's false, then 1533 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:47,920 Speaker 6: you would be able to sue those people easily and 1534 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,200 Speaker 6: win that case because if you were if someone was 1535 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,760 Speaker 6: to accuse me of that and it wasn't true, then 1536 01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 6: it's defamatory and it's libelous, and so that's that's really 1537 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 6: what I'm waiting for. If Robert Sava is truly denying 1538 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 6: all this, then he would be able to take these 1539 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 6: people to court and sue them. So it's a The 1540 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 6: NBA now has to get on top of this immediately, 1541 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,599 Speaker 6: and they have to find out now. As Tas mentioned there, 1542 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,559 Speaker 6: short of any actual video or audio evidence, then a 1543 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,599 Speaker 6: lot of it, I guess, is just you know, one 1544 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 6: person's word against another. But when you have seventy plus 1545 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 6: people who have similar circumstances or cases, then it builds 1546 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 6: a pattern. So yeah, it's rough reading and for the 1547 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 6: you know, you just hope that the NBA takes an 1548 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 6: immediate and swift action in trying to get to the 1549 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 6: bottom of this and come to a conclusion with it, 1550 01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 6: because I don't know how much longer you can have 1551 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 6: someone owning a team with these sorts of accusations being 1552 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 6: labeled against them. 1553 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, or all lots in from this ESPN story, only 1554 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,040 Speaker 1: one on record, you know, attaching his name to what 1555 01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 1: he is saying Sober did. But a lot of the 1556 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:06,400 Speaker 1: significant claims are supported by multiple anonymous sources, and you 1557 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,680 Speaker 1: would think, you know, it is ESPN. I'm not sure 1558 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,600 Speaker 1: they're going to publish this if they're not highly confident 1559 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: in their findings. You would think that given legal threats 1560 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 1: from Sarvar and the SUNS. So we will see. I 1561 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,080 Speaker 1: thought Ziller had a really important part in his newsletter 1562 01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,519 Speaker 1: this morning about this, that the NBA needs to appoint 1563 01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 1: someone immediately to perform direct oversight of the franchise's operations 1564 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,479 Speaker 1: to protect employees from any further damage and potential retribution, 1565 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,360 Speaker 1: because you said it tasks like multiple staffers said they 1566 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't go to HR with complaints because they feared what 1567 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 1: would happen, repercussions, retaliation, just being canned. So it's this 1568 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: culture of toxicity. It's also it sounds like a culture 1569 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,240 Speaker 1: of complicity. So that should happen. While the NBA does 1570 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,840 Speaker 1: an investigation, an interim sort of leadership comes in there 1571 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,080 Speaker 1: to make sure that if people, if more people do 1572 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 1: want to come forward and have claims against Sarver or 1573 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: what's happening in that organization, that they're gonna feel confident 1574 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 1: to do that. So I thought that was a great 1575 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,719 Speaker 1: point from Zilier Trey. Let's see how your internet's working 1576 01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 1: here now, because we couldn't hear you last time, so 1577 01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: if you want to start over again, have that. 1578 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 6: Well. 1579 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 2: I think you make a good point Skeetz in that 1580 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,760 Speaker 2: something needs to happen in the interim, because, like Tass 1581 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 2: is saying, it's pretty reasonable that this investigation by the 1582 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 2: NBA would take a longer time than it did with 1583 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 2: Donald Sterling just because there were primary sources there. Right, 1584 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 2: you could play the tape on a TMZ website if 1585 01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 2: you really wanted to hear everything. So there is a 1586 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:31,839 Speaker 2: difference there. But the leader of an organization sets the culture. 1587 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 2: And with seventy people going on the record, maybe not 1588 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 2: putting their name to it, but established names like Earl 1589 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,960 Speaker 2: Watson and Corlis Williamson, guys that have been around the 1590 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,200 Speaker 2: league for twenty years. There's got to be at least 1591 01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 2: a strong case to be made against Robert Sarver here 1592 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 2: beyond just this article from ESPN. So I would hope 1593 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 2: that the NBA acts as quickly as they can. Surely 1594 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 2: they will, and hopefully someone is appointed in the meantime, 1595 01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,719 Speaker 2: because if this is going to take months and months 1596 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,880 Speaker 2: of time, that's all almost unfair to the Phoenix Suns. 1597 01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,080 Speaker 2: Players and coaches like Mani Williams handled himself perfectly and 1598 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 2: the way he answered makes you think that at least 1599 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:09,600 Speaker 2: the Sons have the right guy to lead him through this. 1600 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,559 Speaker 2: Chris Paul went through this with the Clippers back in 1601 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, so at least they have good leadership amongst 1602 01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 2: the team. But with this hanging over their heads for 1603 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 2: the entirety of the season, that's going to be an 1604 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:25,599 Speaker 2: impossible situation for the players out there. So hopefully in 1605 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,479 Speaker 2: the meantime something positive can happen for the Suns. If 1606 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,680 Speaker 2: that means Sarvar is pushed to the sidelines until the 1607 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 2: investigation is over, then I think that's a smart move 1608 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:38,519 Speaker 2: to start with, because I don't know, it's just such 1609 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 2: a bummer to read this stuff when somebody comes out 1610 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 2: with a statement before the report comes out, you know 1611 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:45,920 Speaker 2: it's going to be bad. And this lived up to 1612 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,760 Speaker 2: the expectations. Live down to the expectations, if you will. 1613 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one way to put it. 1614 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Anything else to add tests to the SARV story. 1615 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,040 Speaker 3: If we can move on, No, we can move on 1616 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,320 Speaker 3: because yeah, I assume we will be talking about this 1617 01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 3: more in the coming months as the investigation wraps up. Hopefully, 1618 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:06,000 Speaker 3: as you guys said, you know, sooner rather than later 1619 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 3: for everyone involved. 1620 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:19,639 Speaker 1: Let's get to a little five star Friday. Fun Trey, 1621 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,520 Speaker 1: your internet's back. We can hear you perfectly. 1622 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 4: Little five star Friday for us. 1623 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,679 Speaker 2: Man, Well, five star Friday, the first Friday of every month, 1624 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,640 Speaker 2: we'll read five of the best five star ratings on 1625 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,679 Speaker 2: your various podcast platforms. I pulled all of these from 1626 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 2: Apple Podcasts. But skeets, I think Spotify has reviews now 1627 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:39,920 Speaker 2: is that true? 1628 01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: This is what somebody told me. I have yet to 1629 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 1: actually investigate, but I think you can now, which I 1630 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 1: love to see. 1631 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:46,919 Speaker 4: I'll investigate in December. 1632 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 2: I want to give people a month to really build 1633 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,639 Speaker 2: up a nice archive of five stars over there. 1634 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:52,800 Speaker 4: But our first. 1635 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 2: Five star Friday review comes from Jay Holiday twenty three 1636 01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 2: one of the best five stars one of the best 1637 01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,800 Speaker 2: podcasts on End a Basketball. Been listening to them since 1638 01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:06,600 Speaker 2: their days as the Basketball Jones. The show's funny, analytical, 1639 01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,480 Speaker 2: and just a ton of fun.

I guess 1690 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:44,839 Speaker 1: it's plausible that somebody would drop like a somebody catches 1691 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 1: fire and one of these Survivor challenges and he's shooting 1692 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 1: like kponent. 1693 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,719 Speaker 4: Maybe even Compono goes on Survival. 1694 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, for all, you need an athlete, a professional athlete 1695 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 3: on every version of Survivor.

And we talked 1724 01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 3: about basketball players. Of course, we respect the opinions of 1725 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 3: former basketball players.

I do like this from Mick and 1733 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 1: the stream team. Maybe we get a Copono versus Kyle 1734 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 1: Kova versus Reddick season at Survivor.

I wonder how the expansion of this world happens, 1809 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 3: because there has been you know, some some of our 1810 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,800 Speaker 3: friends like Danny LaRue doing the call on games, and 1811 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:32,519 Speaker 3: I wonder just how much more the NBA expands it 1812 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,280 Speaker 3: because it's it's you know, it's been sort of same, 1813 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 3: same for a while. You get your TV feed, but 1814 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,759 Speaker 3: the league is obviously expanding things even if you're on Twitch. 1815 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 3: They've given the rights to some people to be able 1816 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:46,960 Speaker 3: to call games, you know, talk about games, call it 1817 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 3: whatever you say, whatever you want to call it, while 1818 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 3: they're watching the game. So I wonder where it goes, 1819 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 3: Where are we going from here? But I found that, 1820 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,120 Speaker 3: you know, that was that was good. It wasn't a 1821 01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,679 Speaker 3: a player's only kind of feel like on NBA TV 1822 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 3: like we've had in the past. This was you know, 1823 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 3: guys just kind of shooting the breeze over the game 1824 01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:05,599 Speaker 3: and guys who are obviously are very much in the 1825 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 3: know of the game. These two specific guys, you know, 1826 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 3: they keep up with everything going on in the NBA. 1827 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:13,920 Speaker 3: So it was a pretty natural and real natural fit 1828 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:14,479 Speaker 3: last night. 1829 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a no brainer to me. This is not 1830 01:24:17,040 --> 01:24:22,559 Speaker 1: a heavy lift to add these secondary video channels, like 1831 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,800 Speaker 1: with the little video of them in the top corner 1832 01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:27,559 Speaker 1: of your screen and then I don't know where they 1833 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,400 Speaker 1: going to them full screen like during timeouts and stuff 1834 01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 1: like that. I didn't catch that. I did see the 1835 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,760 Speaker 1: clip going around of them reacting reacting to the Shaye 1836 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: Gilds of Alexander three, which was awesome, Like they were 1837 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: like freaking out where he pulled from and the confidence 1838 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 1: he took that shot with. Yeah, like, sure, we should 1839 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,519 Speaker 1: see way more. There is so many options for whatever 1840 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 1: type of broadcast you want. You want former athletes kicking 1841 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: it while they're watching the game. Sure, you want like 1842 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Nate Duncan and Daniel Rude. Nate does like a more 1843 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: of a like a play by play and then you 1844 01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 1: take questions and stuff like that. Sure, there should be 1845 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: a Kenny. There should be a Lee Ellis crapping on 1846 01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:02,759 Speaker 1: every team. Do he hates every team? 1847 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:03,599 Speaker 3: Uh? 1848 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:03,840 Speaker 5: No? 1849 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:05,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this is great. I'd like to 1850 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:06,200 Speaker 1: see more of it. 1851 01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,600 Speaker 5: Try did they better than the thing they had on before. 1852 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 2: That? 1853 01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 4: I was going to say, did they dance at halftime? 1854 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,360 Speaker 1: They don't have They don't have to dance at half 1855 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: time exactly. Still, do you want to do we want 1856 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 1: to just pitch one where we just danced the entire game. 1857 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:27,160 Speaker 1: Just here, the swishing of jackets to the entire game. 1858 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,800 Speaker 3: I'm glad you picked this part of it. It was 1859 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,600 Speaker 3: a great part. What minute is this? 1860 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,799 Speaker 5: This is like three minutes and this is shortly after 1861 01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 5: Lee abandons his. 1862 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 4: Glasses are amazing to got good glasses. 1863 01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 3: Where did we get our glasses from? Because those look 1864 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,760 Speaker 3: like Lee's look like you got on set when he 1865 01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 3: was doing the Warriors hit. It's like, hey, camera, man, 1866 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 3: it's sunny here. 1867 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 6: I wish I got those ones. Those ones are great. 1868 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 6: Those were just cheap odes that I had from somewhere. 1869 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,040 Speaker 6: Can't remember the brand, but. 1870 01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:17,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, anyone still got their jacket by the way. 1871 01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Jackson wore one. Of them to the Atlanta United 1872 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 5: game on Slash Saturday. 1873 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: Did he dance his way in? 1874 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,600 Speaker 5: He was dancing the whole time. I thinks he is possessed. 1875 01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:34,360 Speaker 1: It's in the jacket, That's what he poized. Okay, try 1876 01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,919 Speaker 1: anything to add to his tweet about the alternate broadcast, 1877 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 1: especially that Q rich crossover one. 1878 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:40,479 Speaker 4: I think it's a smart idea. 1879 01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,799 Speaker 2: The Manning cast is great, and obviously Peyton and Eli 1880 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,280 Speaker 2: have chemistry and the connection to each other, so I 1881 01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 2: think that is the key is finding a Quentin Richardson 1882 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:53,040 Speaker 2: and Jamal Crawford, guys who have played together at some point, 1883 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,400 Speaker 2: who went through the league for a long time together, 1884 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 2: and who know each other, so, you know, similar to 1885 01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,000 Speaker 2: Matt Barnes and Steven Jackson and having a great connection 1886 01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 2: on their podcast. You just got to find a couple 1887 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 2: of players who completely vibe together and are able to 1888 01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:08,680 Speaker 2: both kind of like handle the hosting duties and the 1889 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,519 Speaker 2: commentating duties at the same time. There's a lot of 1890 01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 2: NBA players who want to get into media now, so 1891 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 2: I'm sure they will have their choice of it. Some 1892 01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,800 Speaker 2: of them will be bangers, some of them probably won't be. 1893 01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:19,599 Speaker 2: But I think it's definitely worth trying. 1894 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 1: Excellent. All right, let's take our final break here. Then 1895 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 1: we'll get to pick them results and rapid firefun. That's 1896 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 1: Calm dot com, not to be confused with clam dot com, 1897 01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:34,120 Speaker 1: which is where you go for your premium oysters. Pick 1898 01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 1: them results from last night jazz Hocks U tell is favorable. 1899 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 1: One and a half down at the fortress, and they 1900 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,000 Speaker 1: pulled it out. They took over in the fourth quarter. 1901 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 1: My goodness, blew this one out of the water like 1902 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of oysters popping out of the water. So 1903 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 1: that's a loss for me. I swear if you I 1904 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,599 Speaker 1: don't know, we've been going We've been going too long. 1905 01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 1: We've podcasted way too much this week. Lee, you are 1906 01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 1: perfect though. Four to oh, this guy's on fire. Task 1907 01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,680 Speaker 1: three and one, great record. Trey and I are two 1908 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 1: and two. But let's get to tonight's game, brought to 1909 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 1: you by Bett MGM. 1910 01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 3: Task. 1911 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:05,760 Speaker 4: Where are we going? 1912 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,360 Speaker 1: Well, I guess you teased it earlier, didn't you. I 1913 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,000 Speaker 1: got the Knicks Bucks? What's the line? 1914 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 3: Five and a half point favorites are the Milwaukee Bucks 1915 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:16,680 Speaker 3: at home to the New York Knicks. The Knicks who 1916 01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,120 Speaker 3: started off so well, at five and one have dropped 1917 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 3: a couple Milwaukee Bucks sit only at four and four, 1918 01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,679 Speaker 3: and they're getting Drew Holiday back. So it's understandable why 1919 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 3: the three of you took the Milwaukee Bucks. I decided 1920 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 3: to swerve and go with the Knicks. I like those 1921 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 3: five points. I like the fact that maybe Drew Holiday 1922 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 3: isn't right took them out and it may take him 1923 01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:39,080 Speaker 3: a little bit to sort of get back into the 1924 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 3: flow the Bucks. I tried to remember when he played 1925 01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:42,720 Speaker 3: at the beginning of the season last year. Was he 1926 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 3: in the flow? Was did he start off slowly? I 1927 01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 3: didn't go back and look, but I just feel like 1928 01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,680 Speaker 3: that may happen. They don't have Milton, they don't have Lopez, 1929 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 3: and I seem to be a Knicks hater. But I'm rolling. 1930 01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:57,559 Speaker 3: I'm rolling with a five and a half. 1931 01:28:57,880 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, biggest line yet, isn't it. 1932 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1933 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I was thinking about going deep to a 1934 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 3: you know, a ten point line or so, but I 1935 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,200 Speaker 3: thought this is this is too good again. Couldn't pass 1936 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 3: it up. And it's a big enough line where I 1937 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 3: feel comfortable riding with those points. 1938 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 1: People are telling me oysters don't blow out the water, 1939 01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,160 Speaker 1: but if you dropped a bomb in the water, oysters 1940 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 1: might explode out. 1941 01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 4: Of the water. Yeah, So I just just want. 1942 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,640 Speaker 1: To clarify that. All right, good luck to everybody. We 1943 01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,599 Speaker 1: got the Bucks to win by six or more. LEAs 1944 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,240 Speaker 1: who's undefeated still, Trade does and I do, and Task 1945 01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:37,360 Speaker 1: has the Knicks, the big bung Nicks to cover. That's 1946 01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,120 Speaker 1: somewhat big line there of five and a half points. Okay, 1947 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,320 Speaker 1: we are going on. But let's wrap this baby up 1948 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,639 Speaker 1: with some rapid fire fun. I got the questions this week. 1949 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,160 Speaker 1: We got Tasslely and jd answering first one. This week, 1950 01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 1: the NBA and Nike unveiled all new City Edition uniforms 1951 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,080 Speaker 1: in honor of the NBA's seventy fifth anniversary season. Each 1952 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 1: jersey represents the Ultimate Basketball Moments Mixtape, a compilation of 1953 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:03,240 Speaker 1: the franchise's greatest hit. So we've talked about the jerseys 1954 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:06,519 Speaker 1: on our social media channels, on the show here earlier 1955 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:07,680 Speaker 1: in the week. But I want to know, guys, if 1956 01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:11,160 Speaker 1: you were to design a city edition jersey for your hometown, 1957 01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 1: what would it look like? I want you to paint 1958 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:16,639 Speaker 1: the picture for me. Task, you go first, Mississauga, what's 1959 01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:17,080 Speaker 1: this jersey? 1960 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:21,639 Speaker 3: Looking on hometown, Mississauga. These are my jerseys, baby. It's 1961 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 3: all about the shapes with Mississauga. Because we'll start it 1962 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,799 Speaker 3: off with the front. Canada's largest airport, it's not in Toronto, 1963 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:33,559 Speaker 3: it's in Mississauga. So on the front, an airplane facing upwards, 1964 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 3: so the nose pointing towards the player's face, with Mississauga 1965 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:41,280 Speaker 3: written across the wings. Okay, just a simple, simple I 1966 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,240 Speaker 3: think we're gonna be called the Mississauga Jets. That's still 1967 01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,519 Speaker 3: be to work. Then we'll still figure that out. On 1968 01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 3: the back though, a huge mall in Missaga called Square one. 1969 01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 3: The number of the player is going to be within 1970 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:51,519 Speaker 3: a square. 1971 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:53,040 Speaker 4: This is good. 1972 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:56,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, we've got shapes up each side panel. This 1973 01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,919 Speaker 3: is where things get weird. Side panel of the jerseys. 1974 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:03,000 Speaker 3: There's a couple unknown condo buildings that are nicknamed the 1975 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:07,080 Speaker 3: Maryland Monroe Buildings in Mississauga. They've won some awards. Why 1976 01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:10,720 Speaker 3: are they Malon Monroe Buildings Because they're curvacious, kind of 1977 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 3: like Maryland Roe. They kind of twirl up. So one 1978 01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:16,960 Speaker 3: of those they are two buildings, one of those on 1979 01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:19,160 Speaker 3: either side they're slightly different. So this is going to 1980 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:20,880 Speaker 3: be a little loud on the jersey, I know, but 1981 01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:22,719 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a weird jersey. It's got a jet, 1982 01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:26,000 Speaker 3: it's got buildings, and it's got squares the Mississaga Jets. 1983 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:26,439 Speaker 3: Here we go. 1984 01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. You really painted the picture. I 1985 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:32,240 Speaker 1: understand what you're saying here. Okay, Lee, you're up Sunbury. 1986 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:32,760 Speaker 4: What do you got? 1987 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:36,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's crazy you say that the Jets for Mississauga, 1988 01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,880 Speaker 6: because the Sunbury Jets were also our basketball team, so 1989 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 6: that's who I was also going with. And it's a 1990 01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 6: royal blue jersey because that's the color of our football team, 1991 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 6: our Australian rules football team, royal blue and white. There now, 1992 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 6: because it's a throwback. I would also have some moments 1993 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 6: from Sunbury's history. And one of the places where the 1994 01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,559 Speaker 6: sort of tough kids, the smokers used to hang out 1995 01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,639 Speaker 6: was this like structure out the front of this old 1996 01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:02,840 Speaker 6: post office. That's where people be a silhouette of the 1997 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,800 Speaker 6: old post office on the front, all right, but then 1998 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,519 Speaker 6: on the shorts. Of course, I think I've told you 1999 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,479 Speaker 6: guys at the birthplace of cricket's oldest rivalry England in 2000 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 6: Australia was actually in Sunbury. So I would have on 2001 01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:18,120 Speaker 6: the shorts the little like like cricket wickets with the 2002 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,360 Speaker 6: bales coming off, because even though its obviously not basketball, 2003 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 6: but that's a monumental moment in Sunbury's history there. So yeah, 2004 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,160 Speaker 6: we'd be the jets. That'd be the post office on 2005 01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 6: the front, and then the cricket wickets on the shorts. 2006 01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,400 Speaker 1: Why all right, So it was the post office where 2007 01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:34,479 Speaker 1: like the fates went down. 2008 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was the cemetery that happened. 2009 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was just right in the right in the 2010 01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,599 Speaker 6: middle of that of this of the downtown core area. 2011 01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 6: So that's where it all went down on the Saturday. 2012 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:49,720 Speaker 6: If you've got a seat on the top sort of 2013 01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:51,760 Speaker 6: layer there, you were. You were pretty high up in 2014 01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:53,880 Speaker 6: the Sunbury hierarchy. I tell you, what do you mean 2015 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 6: a seat where well, well, not a seat, but if 2016 01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:58,400 Speaker 6: you were sitting on top, if you were perched the top, 2017 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 6: because there was layers to at the top of the No, 2018 01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:01,599 Speaker 6: I don't know. So I was out in the front 2019 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 6: of the post office. It was like a you know, 2020 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,680 Speaker 6: like a plantation sort of structure there, like you know, 2021 01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,519 Speaker 6: there was things going and there was like it was 2022 01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,800 Speaker 6: round and so there was enough to see, like, you know, 2023 01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,800 Speaker 6: probably ten or fifteen people, but it had little levels 2024 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:13,560 Speaker 6: in the higher. 2025 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:21,719 Speaker 1: Up, you know, the more you spoke, all right, JD, 2026 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:25,160 Speaker 1: I assume you're just going with straight. 2027 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:25,639 Speaker 4: Up Toronto here. 2028 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:30,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm from Toronto, and you know, I wanted to 2029 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,559 Speaker 5: make my jersey super hip, super cool. And we talked 2030 01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:36,559 Speaker 5: about the city of jerseys earlier and I sort of 2031 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 5: did a deep dive and saw what I liked and 2032 01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,760 Speaker 5: what I didn't like and of what's already out there. 2033 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 5: So the team is Toronto. And I mentioned that I 2034 01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:50,120 Speaker 5: enjoy a nickname like I like an atl across the 2035 01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:54,280 Speaker 5: Hawks jerseys and stuff. So forgive my crude mock up here, 2036 01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,120 Speaker 5: but I made a little jersey mock up here. So 2037 01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:02,679 Speaker 5: here we have went with baby blue because we love 2038 01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:07,519 Speaker 5: baby blue here on no dunks and the Toronto's animal 2039 01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:09,960 Speaker 5: on the coat of arms. We've got a bear and 2040 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:14,000 Speaker 5: eagle and of course a beaver, the national animal of Canadas. 2041 01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 5: So we've got a beaver and you know this Canadian 2042 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:19,559 Speaker 5: flag in the corner. And I noticed there's a lot 2043 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 5: of lightning bolts on a lot of the city jerseys 2044 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,040 Speaker 5: this year, so I added a little lightning bolt coming 2045 01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:30,200 Speaker 5: out of the fierce claws of the mighty beaver there, 2046 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,679 Speaker 5: and of course we have y y z across the top, 2047 01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 5: is what we said.

Oh, 2050 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:47,920 Speaker 5: I forgot to mention. I did add a little ad 2051 01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,400 Speaker 5: in the top left corner for salad king. You know, 2052 01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,120 Speaker 5: it's a place we used to frequent back in the day, 2053 01:34:56,120 --> 01:35:00,120 Speaker 5: in our Ierson days. And I also mentioned the and 2054 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,760 Speaker 5: I loved the plaid on the Rip City jerseys, so 2055 01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:07,160 Speaker 5: of course I had a little plaid on the side panel. 2056 01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 1: There, so the shoulder plaids. 2057 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:13,160 Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.

Like 2106 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:21,559 Speaker 1: did you have to work your way up to that 2107 01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,120 Speaker 1: or like how. 2108 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:30,759 Speaker 3: Was it decided if you had some hair on your chest. 2109 01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 4: Hair on your chest, you get a flag. 2110 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,720 Speaker 6: Uh, Lily, I don't think I've ever been in one 2111 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,800 Speaker 6: like Tassi there. But the notting Hill Carnival, it's funny 2112 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,720 Speaker 6: because I didn't like the event. It was far too 2113 01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,600 Speaker 6: many people, but the sort of show piece end of 2114 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,280 Speaker 6: it was this huge carnival down the streets and that 2115 01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:49,640 Speaker 6: was actually pretty good, so it was worth getting to 2116 01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,680 Speaker 6: that point. It was just all the build up and 2117 01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,600 Speaker 6: the lead to it was it was just overpopulated on 2118 01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,320 Speaker 6: the streets there. So yeah, I went to a couple 2119 01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,680 Speaker 6: of those, but I tried at the end to sort 2120 01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 6: of just get down onto the streets when the parade 2121 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,240 Speaker 6: was happening, because otherwise it's just too chaotic. But that's better. 2122 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:07,560 Speaker 6: It didn't really have a great parade story. 2123 01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:07,800 Speaker 4: To be honest. 2124 01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:09,960 Speaker 1: You don't like parades. It sounds like too many. 2125 01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 6: I just haven't really been to many that I can 2126 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:15,519 Speaker 6: think of that automatically jump out at you. 2127 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,920 Speaker 1: Okay, g D, what about you?
