31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 2: we got some more on the way. On today's show, guys,

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna discuss you all, Embid's injury. We'll get into

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: the latest All Star voting returns task, you got some

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: Worst of the Week nominees, and we're gonna fire the

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: pun gun again. But first.

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: Tweet out the knight. Wow.

37
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Yes, we're starting tweet of the night. Tweets of the night,

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: I should say, guys. As former thunderguard Russell Westbrook was

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: making his return to Okay see last night, two other

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: former thunder players were busy going at it on Twitter.

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: So let's just start the show with this right now.

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins he started it all off, he tweeted,

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: in about thirty minutes, I'm going to give my opinion

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: on a sports center on why I believe that Russell

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: Westbrook is the best player to ever put on an

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder jersey. He is mister Thunder. Okay, that's fine,

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: giving himself a little plug there for his appearance coming

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: up on Sports Center, Well, Celtics analysts Mark Demiko offered

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: his opinion on Westbrook's thunder legacy, before then Durant chimed in,

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: so Perk responds to Mark, Well, Katie lost in the

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: second round without Russ when I was there, So what

52
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: that means? Here comes?

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Kevin Duran part of sir, hold your judgment. That's

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: the worst part, oh tweet court Katie.

55
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and our starting center at Kendrick Perkins averaged a

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: whopping two and three during that You played hard, though,

57
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: Champ lol. Perk, Well, then there was some like it

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: seemed like it was maybe gonna die. There was like

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: some shaking of hands emojis or whatever. But then Perk

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: he leaned into it. Boy stop, you did the weakest

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: move in NBA history up on a team three to

62
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: one in the Western Conference finals and then go join

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: them the following season. Heart of a champion right there?

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well, Katie hit him with a yawning sloth

65
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: gif and then week is starting at center playing real

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: minutes with no production. Should have worked on your skills

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: as much as I did. My goodness, it's not over yet, Perk.

68
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: That's fine. You worked that hard and still had to

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: go join a seventy three and nine team. Truth be told,

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: you don't even feel like a real champ. You have

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: a hard time sleeping at night, huh, knowing that you

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: took the coward way out. Oh yeah, yeah, I got

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: a little serious there as it went on. Little so,

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the gist of it right there.

75
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: It was Katie and Perk going at it on Twitter.

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: People are loving it now. First off, I guess I

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: have a couple of questions. You know, was this just

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: a straight up troll job by both of them? They

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: are friends by all accounts.

80
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: It was no, I don't now. Perkins has been going

81
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: at it with everybody. He likes to go at it.

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: KD actually went at it with fans the night before

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: he hit back to back Jackson. You know, he was

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: calling out fans, Listen, Kendrick Perkins can promo his appearance

85
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: on Sports Center, great, but he brought Kevin Durant his

86
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: name into it.

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: Yeah he didn't.

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: Somebody asked him as he said Mark Tomiko asked him

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: about Kevin Durant, he didn't have to reply at all,

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: and then nothing of would have happened. Nothing would have happened.

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: And that what he said initially was he brought his

92
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: name into and said we lost in the second round

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: was when Russ was hurt and KD was there. What

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: the heck does that mean? Did they win a series

95
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: when Kevin Durant was hurt and Russell Westbrook was the

96
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: lead guy? Absolutely not, No, they didn't. That didn't happen once.

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: So that mean that makes no sense. You're cherry picking

98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: some random series. I mean that means nothing. I think

99
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant knocked him out with hey, you averaged two

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: and three that series.

101
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: Come on, I was going to ask you, how do

102
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: you score this? Yeah?

103
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: Who's the winner?

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: Or did anyone tweet sort of below the belt for

105
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: docking them? So yeah, okay, we know where it task lies.

106
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: What you guys.

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 6: I just think that after they did the shake of

108
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 6: hands emoji, I thought, yeah, just some former teammates, like,

109
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: you know, it's done. But then Perk just seemed to

110
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 6: be like, now hang on a minute, I got something now,

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 6: So I want to say here. But of course he

112
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: picked the low hanging fruit with Kevin Durant because that's

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 6: there forever right, and Kevin Durant knows it. And that

114
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 6: was the yawning sloth emoji. Kevin ran like, I hear

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 6: this all the time, man, I get it.

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Him joining Gordon State has an effect

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: on his legacy. But at the end of the day,

118
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: he still won two titles, and he was two finals MVPs.

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 6: And you know that it still it bugs KD still

120
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 6: that people will never give him the credit that he

121
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 6: feels he deserves for being a two time champer, two

122
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 6: time finals MVP. But you know Kendrick Perkins as well,

123
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 6: he's his career is obviously over and he's trying to

124
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 6: establish a second career. Yeah, and he and this is

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 6: we've seen a little bit of this from him in

126
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 6: the past. He likes to get into it. Now he's

127
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 6: starting to take a grasp of social media. So you know,

128
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 6: Kate Perk was, he's never gone. He's not going to

129
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame. So he's trying to make a

130
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 6: bit of a name for himself.

131
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: And but who do you have winning this battle on Twitter?

132
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Last name?

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 6: Well, it's a tough one because Kevin Durant had had

134
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 6: another tweet I don't know if you saw it or not,

135
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: when someone sort of asked him and he said, we

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 6: talk on hoops, not life. There's a difference. So you know,

137
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: he was trying to again at the end of it

138
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 6: say it wasn't anything too nasty. I guess I'll go

139
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 6: with I'll go with Perkins. I'll give it to Perkins.

140
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 4: Why Perkins? Why not?

141
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: Why not?

142
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: I mean, ye, Kenrick, Kendrick Perkins was trying to make

143
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: a name for himself on Twitter. We don't do it

144
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: this way is dirty to me.

145
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 5: I'm with you task that the worst part was when

146
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 5: Perkins was like, yeah, but when I was your second

147
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: best player, we lost. That's a massive self own, not

148
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 5: to mention that the one year that like Kevin Durant

149
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: was actually hurt for the Thunder, they didn't even make

150
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 5: the playoffs. I think, I mean, I think that Perkins

151
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: is ultimately right. Russell Westbrook is the mister Thunder. He

152
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: was there for the first eleven seasons of the Thunder existing.

153
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 5: But Kevin Durant is also the best player who's ever

154
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 5: worn a Thunder jersey.

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: By a mile.

156
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant when he's responding to people on Twitter, he says,

157
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 5: I'm handing out clout and Kendrick Perkins likes to get

158
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: that clout. So it's kind of the perfect storm for

159
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 5: two guys that get into a beef. Kevin Durant had

160
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 5: the time to respond and Kendrick Perkins had the inclination

161
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: to start things up.

162
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again the facts are lame and wrong. Yeah,

163
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: so Perkins Perkins says, yeah, we lost in the second

164
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: round when Russ was hurt. Well, they won the prior

165
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: round when Russ was hurt, and Kevin Durant won the

166
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: series for them. Russ never won a series without Kevin Durant.

167
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: And it's not Nobody likes to go dissect and actually

168
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: get to the facts on Twitter because we're not like,

169
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: no one wants child Kirby child Tray Kirby science facts,

170
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: like nobody wants real facts. Nobody cares. But the fact

171
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: is Kevin Durant was a better player and he and

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook can be mister thunder. That's totally right, and

173
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: he should go talk about it on Sports Center. Good

174
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: for him.

175
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: Did anybody watch the Sports Center head?

176
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: No?

177
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 7: Go on.

178
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I am going to assume Perkins is on

179
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: the jump.

180
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 6: He is on the jump, on the.

181
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: Jump, yeah, well there you go.

182
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's got lots to talk about.

183
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 5: I like the idea of Kevin Durant just for years,

184
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 5: just stealing man. If Kendrick Perkins only would have been

185
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 5: in the gym working on his jumper, we could.

186
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: Have won a championships and finals in twelve.

187
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, would be on your skills.

188
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't have to. He got played off the

189
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: floor in twenty twelve because they had to go to

190
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: Sergea Baca as their number five, right, old Kate Perk.

191
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: I mean he won the ship. He's he's yeah, he

192
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: is making his name in the media. It's doing well

193
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: for himself. Maybe he's going to go to the Media

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: Hall of famely.

195
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 6: Well, yeah they hand out that, didn't they. Yeah that's right. Yeah,

196
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 6: stop Mark's time on it last year. Maybe Picks got

197
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: his eye on that.

198
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Possibly Twitter wing.

199
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: It's obviously NBA. Twitter was having a blast with that

200
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: last night and and are continuing to. I know Wobb's

201
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: got the investigations open right now. I think I thought

202
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: he closed the case last night, But he's possibly reopening

203
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: it because yeah, it's a blowback, it really is. I mean,

204
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: I think he's got like the pull up, like who

205
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: won it? It was you know when we were driving

206
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: in here this morning trade and I it was like

207
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: it was nearly fifty to fifty. I think it was

208
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: fifty one Kadi forty nine Perk. So people are split, Yeah,

209
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: people are split.

210
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: But how many of those people hate?

211
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: That's yes, I think you're absolutely right about that because yeah,

212
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: it's like he is playing like Perk is going to

213
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: old material here and Katie will never hear the end

214
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: of it. Yeah, and maybe, okay, that's just it is

215
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: what it is.

216
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 6: But but he also drove it home though. I think

217
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 6: k Perk as well, like he just didn't you know,

218
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: he made sure that.

219
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: This guy's championing for his guy over.

220
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: I'm just saying like he did. He didn't sort of

221
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 6: subtly subtweeted or anything. He let him know and he

222
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 6: hammered him on that point.

223
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: And call him a coward, Yeah, exactly. That's the weakest

224
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: move in NBA history. That Katie can't sleep at night, yeah,

225
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: because he's basically a fake champ, is what Kate Perk

226
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: is saying.

227
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 6: I mean wool, That's what I mean. He went at him.

228
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 6: He wanted Durant to know exactly how we felt. So

229
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 6: I'll give him that. He went in there swinging Kye.

230
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: I think he took too many tweets to get there. Yeah,

231
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: right at the beginning. Yeah, and why didn't he pull

232
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: out the line that, Hey, in Boston, we never lost

233
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 3: a playoff series with our starting five. I'm surprised he

234
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: didn't use that. That's coming up on the jump.

235
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: Don't worry, all right, So let's hear you guys. Let

236
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: us know on Twitter at no Dunk saying cashtag no Dunks.

237
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Who won the Twitter beef there last night? Was it

238
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: Perkins or was it Katie? All Right? Some some news

239
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: and notes from last night's games and the stories coming

240
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: out of them. It was Westbrook's homecoming, but it was spoiled,

241
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: you know, Okay, See the Thunder destroyed the Rockets one

242
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: thirteen to ninety two. It was cool, though, Osee showering

243
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: mister thunder Russell Westbrook with appreciation before the game. That

244
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: tribute video was incredible. I think it's the best one

245
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: that's ever been made. That was my tweet last night.

246
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: I didn't get into it with anyone over that that

247
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: was incredible, though obviously loud cheers when he was introduced.

248
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: That was a cool That was a cool moment. I

249
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: think we could all agree with that, and Westbrook then

250
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: had a good game. He followed up with one of

251
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: his better games. But just nobody else, specially James Harden

252
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: on the Rockets, could give him any help last night.

253
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 6: I like the way the Thunder did it too before

254
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: the game, so it wasn't like at an intermission or

255
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 6: anything like that. The whole crowd got into it. Russ

256
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 6: even got the little emotional himself, but the Thunder handled

257
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: that the right way. I think, give him, show him

258
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: the respect, put up a beautiful tribute, then go and

259
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: play the game. So no one was sort of then

260
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 6: go beat their ass exactly. I think, you know, if

261
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 6: it comes on after the first quarter when they were

262
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 6: down sixteen, it may have a different feel to you know,

263
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 6: in the crowd. So but yeah, the Thunder last night

264
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 6: were fantastic. Chris Paul Again, I mean the box score

265
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 6: looking at it, eighteen six and five, it's like, wow,

266
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 6: that's on a huge line. But it certainly felt like

267
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 6: his impact on his control on the game was a

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 6: lot more significant than that.

269
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Well, that opening intro. I guess it energized okay See

270
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: as well because Chris Paul said the energy was amazing.

271
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: It was our first nationally televised game, and Russ being

272
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: back the crowd is always great, but we knew that

273
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: it was going to be a different energy tonight that

274
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: In Eric Horn's article on the Athletic, I was surprised

275
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: that Chris Paul, he was sitting with shake Gil Alexander

276
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: on the bench and he was saying that to him

277
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: like we got let's go. This is this is great.

278
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 3: While the intro is going on this this is great

279
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: for us. I was surprised. This is their first nationally

280
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: televised game.

281
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but dare I say this, could okay See the

282
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 5: Oaklasahoma City Thunder be cool?

283
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: Is it possible? They kind of looked, I would say,

284
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: in their city edition jerseys, which are like black and

285
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: gold or charcoal and gold. They're not the coolest jerseys,

286
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 3: but they're cooler than the normal okay See jerseys, and

287
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: so that's a step up, I would say, And I know,

288
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 3: okay See being cool, I don't know, I don't know

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: it felt. It felt kind of like they're cool. They

290
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: cool factory.

291
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: They do have a gas station ad right there.

292
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm seeing them in a wide shot. I'm

293
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: not seeing them closer. You're right.

294
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 5: It just goes to show you that you shouldn't do

295
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 5: video tributes for every single guy that comes around. This

296
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: is the first video tribute in Thunder history, and it

297
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: was awesome because they're actually meant something.

298
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they should have.

299
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: Done Ken for sure.

300
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 6: Do you think they think they do now? Maybe at

301
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: some point the KD At.

302
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: Some point when the jury definitely well down the line,

303
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 3: they gotta retires.

304
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: So this one was awesome. It was Yeah, it was

305
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: so well done. But okay, see, yeah, they shut the

306
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: lights out in the first quarter. They're up big. They're

307
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: their highest scoring opening quarter of the season. Gallinari twenty

308
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: three points, eleven boards, Shake Gildos Alexander another twenty. The

309
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: highlight of the night probably was the Chris Paul nutmegging

310
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: of Isaiah Hartenstein. Then he ended it with the beautiful

311
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: little floater and then he did the whole Uh.

312
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: That was great.

313
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: It's sort of like, how do you describe it?

314
00:13:59,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: Really like.

315
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: We're killing If it's over it's over because they were

316
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: up big by that point. It was something like twenty

317
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: six points and that was the game. But yeah, and

318
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: on the flip side again Westbrook, pretty solid game from

319
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 2: him James Harden, not for him, Wow, seventeen points, five

320
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: of seventeen shooting, and not much help again, like I said,

321
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: from anyone else. They shot something like eleven for forty

322
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: from three. I had like Austin Rivers missing wide open layups.

323
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: It was an ugly rocket shooting night. But you know,

324
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: credit to the way the thunderplayed in your right task.

325
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: They played with some energy right from the get go there.

326
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: Fourteen of fifty one in the last two games is

327
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 5: James Harden, and I think that kind of the Hawks

328
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 5: game maybe threw him off for last night because it

329
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: seemed like against the Hawks, Houston thought they had it won,

330
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: and then the Hawks came back, they had to bring

331
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: their starters back and suddenly we have to play hard

332
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 5: again in the second half. Harden just wasn't able to

333
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: produce at all last night. I don't think it was

334
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: Westbrook really taking them out of their game at all either.

335
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: He just seemed like he was playing and he was

336
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 5: fired up to be there. He was having a good time.

337
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 5: Nobody else could just contribute the ways that they're used to.

338
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: That was a dominating performance on the glass. From the

339
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: Thunder too, they played with some more gust del You're right,

340
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: maybe Magic City got to Harden here when he was

341
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. You know, you never know reports on that,

342
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: but it gets the best of them out there, and

343
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: I was doing no hard and las to partake in those.

344
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: Maybe just straight up tired. But I also think this

345
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: may have cemented possibly Chris Paul All Star selection over

346
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: a potentially guy like Russell Westbrook. It must out a

347
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: good game. It could be in the back of some voters'

348
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: minds or coaches minds when they are making their selection

349
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: because it could come down to a Westbrook Chris Paul

350
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: and only one of them being able to make it

351
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: as reserves possible.

352
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 6: I think Pull's in anyway, I think for what he's done,

353
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 6: and again it's all about timing, you know, you kind

354
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 6: of forget those first couple of weeks of the season,

355
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 6: and lately he's been like the talk of not just

356
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 6: the thunder of the league in a lot of ways.

357
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 6: You know, he's played thirty eight games, but that's My

358
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 6: only real concern about Chris Paul. We know he does

359
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 6: have an injury history. I just hope that he can

360
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 6: get through this season playing at this high level because

361
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 6: he tends to pick up hamstrings and strains and things

362
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 6: like that that knock him out for a couple of weeks.

363
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 6: So hopefully he can maintain this level. Because the Thunder

364
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: are playing really well and Chris Paul is just he.

365
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 6: Like we talked about Dwight Howard rehabbing his image a lot,

366
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 6: I think Chris Paul is very very close to it

367
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 6: as well. People love watching him again, They love him.

368
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: He's He had that little incident of course earlier in

369
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: the season where he called the tech foiul there on

370
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 6: the on the on the Timberwolves. But other than that,

371
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 6: I think Chris Paul, you know, people are like, yeah,

372
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 6: he's we like him again. It feels like that anyway.

373
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, even I, like right now, I wasn't quick to

374
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 5: shoot down task saying yeah, the Thunder actually might be cool.

375
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: It's fun to watch.

376
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: How damn.

377
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: The way that people are talking about Okay, see the

378
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: last few weeks though you'd think that they're like a

379
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: two or three seed. They're talking about Okay, see a ton.

380
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: Because they've been the best team in the league for

381
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: a good day what feels like a month now, but.

382
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: They're seventh in there in the West. I just think

383
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: the way that people are talking about but hey, it

384
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: is a good story. They were a bubble team going in,

385
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: even the Mavericks were a bubble team going in, and

386
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: people love, you know, talking about Luca for months on end.

387
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, hey, they deserve all the talk and I'm

388
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: looking forward to it. And hopefully he can play eighty

389
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 3: two games that would really shut people up. That would

390
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: be amazing if Chris Paul does that.

391
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: Over in the Eastern Conference, last night, the Sixers defeated

392
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: the Celtics Josh richardson twenty nine points, Ben Simmons chipping

393
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: in nineteen Philly one without Dwell Embiid one oh nine

394
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: ninety eight. They were down big storm back. Embiid is

395
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: gonna have surgery for a torn ligament in his finger

396
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: today and then he will be evaluated in one to

397
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: two weeks. He's gonna be reevaluated then, so that doesn't

398
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: mean he's gonna be back. It could be a while

399
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: for Jewell Embiid. But what did you think of the

400
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: Sixers now taking their third game against the Celtics this

401
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: season and you know, deciding to go, you know, with

402
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons as a backup center for some minutes in

403
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: this but Al Horford getting the you know, the start

404
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: there and then at the center position and Mike Scott

405
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: sort of sliding in there at the power forward. What

406
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: do you think of the Big Sixers last night?

407
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: I thought that the key is actually that you mentioned

408
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 6: the three and zero against Boston this season. This is

409
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 6: a team that I know in b didn't play he

410
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 6: said in the past, there's no rivalry. They always beat us.

411
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 6: And this is a very impressive win, probably their most

412
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 6: impressive win because they were down big early and the

413
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 6: Celtics needed the win after the embarrassing loss the night

414
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 6: before at home to San Antonio, and just sort of

415
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 6: felt like that was it. The Celtics like, all right,

416
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 6: we're going out there, we're playing harder. But then Philadelphia

417
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 6: did respond and it was interesting. Our Hawford again, solid,

418
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 6: very solid player. This is the sort of guy that

419
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 6: they hoped to get. He hasn't had a great season

420
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 6: in Philadelphia, but I think last night was one of

421
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 6: his better performances.

422
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because maybe without Embiid there, he does become

423
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: more of a playmaker, the Al Horford playmaking skills that

424
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: he can show, instead of more of a just a

425
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: spacer man, just a shooter when Embiid's working in there.

426
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: I think one hundred percent that's true. I think that

427
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 5: Al Horford was more empowered last night. Richardson clearly was

428
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 5: more empowered playing off the dribble one on one quite

429
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: a bit. Tobias Harris I thought was really good, and

430
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: that sort of role too, is an excellent player. He's

431
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 5: a dominant inside force. But when that guy's on the court,

432
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: he just goes from block to block, elbow to elbow,

433
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 5: chasing the ball, saying, give me the ball, give me

434
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 5: the ball, give me the ball. And that's the strategy

435
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 5: for the Sixers. Get him the ball because he's going

436
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 5: to get to the line, he's going to score something

437
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 5: like that. When it's Simmons as the main guy and

438
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: then everybody else has to do a little bit more,

439
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 5: there's more equal opportunity for sure. And I mean Horford

440
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: has been good playing on the court with just Simmons.

441
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 5: Without Embiid there, it seems like he's just a little

442
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 5: bit lost. The guy has wanted to play four for

443
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 5: his entire career, but he has played five for basically

444
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 5: his whole career, so he's trying to figure things out too.

445
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 5: He's also been at worst like a third option for

446
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 5: the entirety of his career. Now he's sometimes a fifth option.

447
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: It seems like he's just lost. Maybe I should swing it,

448
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 5: maybe I should do this, But there was just nobody

449
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: waiting to see what Embiid was going to do.

450
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's got to be a way to

451
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: have the space there and the zip and.

452
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: The pace that everybody's playing with while Embiid is playing

453
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 5: there too, because he can play outside, he can play inside,

454
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 5: he can play five. Asked sometimes you know, I mean,

455
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: he doesn't have incredible endurance, but there's got to be

456
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: a way to fit him. Because Simmons, when he has

457
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 5: all that space, when he's bringing the ball up the

458
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 5: court looking like a quarterback pointing out where this guy's

459
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: supposed to run, where that guy is supposed to run,

460
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: it is fun to watch, and he's a clutch defensive player.

461
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's what it is, is that there's

462
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: more space out there without Embid, and it would be

463
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: the same if Ben Simmons was wasn't out there for

464
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid too. Joel Embiid has to get out the

465
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: heck out of the way for Ben Simmons to be

466
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 3: effective and sit out on the three point line. And

467
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons can be good, and he is. He is

468
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: very good at that. But it's just they occupied the

469
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 3: exact same space a lot of the time where they

470
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: you know, it's Ben Simmons is Lebron Jannis in a

471
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: way with you know, without the jump shot, like he

472
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: has to get into the lane and.

473
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: He had a little jump put going was awesome.

474
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 3: He was motivated and he is great when he's a

475
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: ball handler. It was definitely a case of less is

476
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: more and guys stepping into another role.

477
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 4: You know.

478
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: I think it would be similar if Ben Simmons stepped

479
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: down and and Joel Embiid was out there to me,

480
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: and they don't they don't have the ball handling, if

481
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: you know, if Ben Simmons sits down. But yeah, guys Horford,

482
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: all these guys are great NBA players and so they

483
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: want to have bigger roles. Yeah, and so it's just

484
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: it's been hard to find that was the question coming

485
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: into the season. If Al Horford's your fourth best player

486
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: instead of being your third best player, you know, all

487
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: those guys have to sort of get ticked down the ladder.

488
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: It's it's been tough for them, and I still don't

489
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 3: know how to feel about them. You know, they're going

490
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: to go back to being okay, and they were terrible

491
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: in the first quarter and then they woke up. You know,

492
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: I don't know this team just it's difficult to figure

493
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: him out.

494
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like we're not trying to overreact after a

495
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: one Sixers win here without Embiid by any means, because

496
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: the numbers you'll look at them generally of the last

497
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: couple of years when Embid doesn't play, they get absolutely smoked.

498
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 4: Except for the when they won thirteen straight with no Embiid.

499
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but also remember the playoffs when they literally

500
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: anytime he was off the floor, they were getting hammered.

501
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: That's the thing for the playoffs. Yeah, But like the

502
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 5: Sixers were a top ten offense last season. They had

503
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons on the court for most

504
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: of the time. They had Jimmy Butler who could do

505
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: something off the dribble. JJ Reddick who's happy to be

506
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 5: running around screens shooting open threes, and Tobias Harris was

507
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 5: obviously still there. So you can have a good offense

508
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 5: with both of them on the court. But a guy

509
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 5: like Josh Richardson has to just think I'm shooting it

510
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: every time I get the ball. If I haven't open three,

511
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 5: I'm shooting at every single time. If I'm Tobias Harris,

512
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: I'm shooting at every single time i haven't open three.

513
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 5: I'm not pumped faking and taking a twenty two footer

514
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: that's only worth two points.

515
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: Let it fly.

516
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what happened those two guys you

517
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: just mentioned, Josh richards and Tobias Harris, Like, Wow, I

518
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: get to touch it more, I get to be a

519
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: bigger part of the offense. I'm gonna have some fun

520
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: out here. And I think Tobias Harris was sort of

521
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: in that JJ Reddick role yesterday where he was playing

522
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: the dribble handoff game like JJ Reddick used to play

523
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: with Joel Embiid. He was doing that with Al Horford

524
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: last night. And you know they're good, so it's just

525
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: they get into a better flow. I think that's the

526
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: only problem with their offense that they can't get They

527
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: have the players, but they haven't been able to find

528
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 3: that flow. Yeah, it's all about flow.

529
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: We saw some minutes there at the five spot from

530
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: Norvel Pell.

531
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 4: Oh. Yeah, we did.

532
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: Great, great name and solid game. He had a really

533
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: really nice game in this one.

534
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 5: There was like three straight possessions where Cantor was trying

535
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: to back him down on the post. He got got

536
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 5: one file and then I think he blocked the next season. Yeah,

537
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 5: Pel versus Cantor.

538
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: What a beast. Yeah, So good news was Sixers even

539
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: though they lost him. Bead Mattistible returned from a nine

540
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: game absence with the sprain right knee, so he's gonna

541
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: help defensively there because he was great earlier in the season. Celtics,

542
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: this was a bad loss. It really was, because you

543
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 2: said they lost to the Spurs lely, they lost before

544
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: that to the Wizards. So this is their first three

545
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: game losing streak of the season, and as I mentioned before,

546
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: they've lost every game to the Sixers. Tim Bontemps, he

547
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: had the tweet today. Over the past the past two

548
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: plus games, Jalen Brown is fourteen for forty six and

549
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum is sixteen for forty five from the floor.

550
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be difficult to win games when

551
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: two of your better players, especially offensively, can't hit a shot.

552
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 6: They said two plus two plus yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

553
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 6: Jaylen Brown I noticed se him a lot more than

554
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 6: a title. He just seems so just you hit a

555
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 6: bad patch here. Yeah, and yeah, he's been so good

556
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 6: for the this season, So it sort of coincides with

557
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 6: this little dip there, having I think.

558
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: Because this would have been a blowout probably if Marcus

559
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: Smart isn't on fire from three last night. And you know,

560
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: Kemba was all right and then got injured but came back.

561
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, goodwin from the Sixers. Despite knowing what Joel embiid.

562
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: One last thing, Horford was killing me down the stretch.

563
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 5: He was He got the ball a couple of times,

564
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: kind of like in the extended low post, and it

565
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 5: was like a pump fake party.

566
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: The guy was just faking so many times, but.

567
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 4: His feet weren't going anywhere. It reminded me of Matt

568
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 4: Austin playing basket.

569
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 5: If all the man loves the pump fake, bring it,

570
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 5: ripping the ball back and forth, back and forth, back

571
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 5: and forth, and then suddenly you just got to take

572
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 5: a jump shot.

573
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, if it works for Al Horford,

574
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: it's working for madam.

575
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. He had that bully ball bucket versus Tyst at

576
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: one time. Horford or he just like, all right, I'm

577
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: gonna put you in the net. Yeah, great game from him.

578
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: All right, guys. Lebron James has surpassed Luca and Giannis

579
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: to lead the NBA in the second fan returns of

580
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: NBA All Star voting. Otherwise, not much has changed. Anthony

581
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: Davison Kawhi continued to rank second and third respectively in

582
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: the wet front court. So there with Lebron, Luca and Harden.

583
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: Their star in the back court still Giannis. He has

584
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: increased his lead as the top vote getter among all

585
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference players, and he continues to be followed by

586
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: second place Dwell and Beid, which will be interesting now

587
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: with the injury, if it's a little longer than one

588
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: or two weeks, we'll see, and third place Pascal Siakam.

589
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: They're in the east front court, your guards, well, it's

590
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: tight still, but Trey Young still in first place East Guards,

591
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: followed by Kyrie and then Kemba still trails Kyrie by

592
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: less than fifty thousand votes. I got admit I was

593
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: wrong last time these fan returns came out, I said,

594
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: by the by this time next week, when we see

595
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: them again, Kemba will definitely have passed probably Kyrie and

596
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: Trey Young. And he hasn't one of the Beantown boys

597
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: doing over there. I can't believe it, but yeah, that's so.

598
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: That's what it looks right right now. Any surprises to

599
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: you at all? Is it still the is the oddest one?

600
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: The Kyrie one having barely played he's played eleven games?

601
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's got a big fan base, I guess,

602
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 6: and you know he's uh people love him.

603
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: And did you hear his quote no when he asked

604
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 2: about it? This is Kyrie ervic. I think I've put

605
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: in a lot of work in this league to be

606
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: up there, whether I'm playing or not. And if you

607
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: want to see an All Star game, i'd vote for

608
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: myself as well. All right, So that's who was voting

609
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: for Kyrie. I guess that also means he's hopefully coming

610
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: back pretty soon.

611
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: And he's making it sound like that he's like, all right, well,

612
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: he also gave himself what a one week deadline to

613
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 5: come back, but despite the nets, doctors haven't even chimed

614
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 5: in it all. He's like, I'm coming back in a week,

615
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 5: So I don't know. Maybe he's just laying the groundwork

616
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: to actually be an All Star.

617
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: And five days ago he came out for the first

618
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: time in a month and a half and he said, I,

619
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: you know, I might have surgery be out for a

620
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: long time. Thanks changed really quick with Kyrie.

621
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: Otherwise it's basically the exact same and we'll wait one

622
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: more week getting close to the starters being announced, probably

623
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: like something like ten days from.

624
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: Now, something like, you know, seeing Trey Young in a

625
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: starting guard spot and him being eight and thirty. I

626
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 3: don't think it's going to jive with the coaches when

627
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: they have, you know, when they have to vote, or

628
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: you know, the players as well, when they have to vote.

629
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think the players will care at all. Personally.

630
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: I think they do.

631
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 2: I think they vote him still one of the top

632
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: two guards in the East. The players do.

633
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, yeah, I think they vote him lower. I

634
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: think they care about winning in general.

635
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 6: But it's interesting.

636
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: But he's got a few weeks he's got a few

637
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: weeks to jump up, and I think the Hawks are

638
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: starting to find it. So I think they will jump

639
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: up the standings. I probably say that every week, but

640
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 3: I think it's happening.

641
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 6: I just think with the play is because Kyrie has

642
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 6: been injured for so long, that gives Trey an advantage. Otherwise,

643
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 6: I think the players definitely go with the more experienced guys.

644
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah heah, but you're right. I agree with you. They

645
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: also they generally they look and go, damn guy. The

646
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: kid's averaging twenty nine points per game. Oh, he also

647
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: is one of the leading assist guys per game, so

648
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: he's not a ballhog. This team stinks, but he's awesome.

649
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: I definitely think he gets played.

650
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: What about Bill though, I mean they're like.

651
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: They've been high on Bill before too, players have in

652
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: their vote.

653
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: You're right, similar sort of scenario. Yeah, numbers are great.

654
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill's hurt right now, so that helps trace chances

655
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: in my opinion, but we'll see.

656
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: I like, hey, if I'm if I'm in an All

657
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: Star game, if I'm looking at an All Star game

658
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: like Kyrie Irving, I'd probably vote for Tree. You know,

659
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: it's fun guy to be Yea.

660
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: We saw Kemba Walker this week viciously run into a

661
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: referee nearly started the malice at the garden.

662
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: So I don't personally want to see him in.

663
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 5: The All Star Game. I think it would be distasteful. Yeah,

664
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 5: I can't trust him.

665
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. So we'll be keeping an eye, of course,

666
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: on these fan returns. All right, let's get to worst

667
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: of the Week, ladies and gentlemen.

668
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: The worst of the week.

669
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Sign for worst of the week. We've got a couple

670
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: of runner ups and a winner. Cavs head coach John

671
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: Beelan would probably be thrown in there, but we talked

672
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: about him on Thursday show, so we're not gonna include

673
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: him here. Second runner up, it's not from the NBA

674
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: at all, guys. It goes to the announcers from this

675
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: high school basketball game. Let's take a listen to this

676
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: quote touching moment.

677
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: Well, there's one more one more gone but not forgotten,

678
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: and that's our sweet Days or our sweet Lucy. At

679
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: the age of twelve, she was run over in our driveway.

680
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: Oh like that. So this this one gentleman talking about

681
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 3: his dead dog, and the other gentleman sees a play happen.

682
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a dunker lay up or

683
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: something nice. It's a dunk. It's a dunk. Okay, and

684
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: uh and he gets pumped. Let's hear one more time.

685
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Well, and then there's one more one more gone but

686
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: not forgotten. And that's our sweet days or our sweet Lucy.

687
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

688
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: At the age of twelve, she was run over in

689
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: our driveway.

690
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: Oh like that?

691
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: Are you sure that's why I clar if I don't

692
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: mean to get dark with it. We are sure he's

693
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: talking about a dog, right, Yeah, okay, good, Yeah, because

694
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: you do it the first time.

695
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I guess Uh. It's you know, those amateur

696
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: sports moments always great. It's got a little feeling, you know,

697
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 3: boom goes the dynamite because there's some stumbles there. It's

698
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: kind of like us on the mic, you know. Thanks

699
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: to Ross Holman for tweeting that out. I have no

700
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: idea where that took place in the world, but it

701
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: was fun. First runner up is the Nicks Bobby Portis

702
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 3: Monday night against the Lakers. Portis received a flagrant two

703
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: foul and was ejected when he rocked the head of

704
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: Contavious Caldwell. Pope with his forearm in case he was

705
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: trying to score at the Ramporters took a huge swipe

706
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: at the ball and he missed by a mile. Well,

707
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 3: he missed the ball anyway. He got all head the

708
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: next night, after we thought he would be suspended for

709
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: that incident. No, he came out and played. He missed

710
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: a block attempt the next night and rocked the head

711
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: of Utah's boy on mcgdonovic. He received a flavorite one

712
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: back to back nights, back to back head donks for

713
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: him and again shocked that he wasn't suspended for the

714
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: first one because it was a while at time that

715
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 3: he didn't get anywhere close to the basketball.

716
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Surprise, he just got fined five.

717
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, what are you doing.

718
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: Bobby, Bobby, stop trying to block shots, Bobby, because you're

719
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 2: nowhere close.

720
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: I just want to stay in the league, Bobby.

721
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: I saw a tweet from Stepan Bondi Bondy on Bobby

722
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: here he was saying, I think Bobby Portis's best best

723
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: defense is that he's just terrible at defense. Right, Like,

724
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: if you're gonna get off with the fine the very

725
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 5: next night, you probably shouldn't do the.

726
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: Exact same tough one, but the worst of the week

727
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: winner is Bulls head coach Jim Boylan because of an

728
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: inexplicable decision in a game against the Mavericks on Monday.

729
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: While Chicago was on defense, Boylan's rookie Daniel Gafford turned

730
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: his ankle and went down in a heap with Gafferd

731
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: on the floor. The MAVs moved the ball and scored easily.

732
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: Gafferd continued to lay on the ground and hold his

733
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: ankle after the basket, and then there was a bit

734
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: of confusion as the ball went through the hoop and

735
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: mas Luka Doncic grabbed it handed to the referee. The

736
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: refs whistled at the lay a game on Dallas offensive

737
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: player can't grab the ball as it goes through the hoop.

738
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: So Boiling's like, oh, there's a whistle. I'm gonna put

739
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: in my guy here for Gafford. Gafford limped over to

740
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: the sideline and an other scruggle. Bulls ready to come in,

741
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: but that's not a stoppage in play. Coach can't make

742
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: substitutions on a delay of games, so Gafford limped back

743
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: onto the floor. The Bulls are now going to go

744
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 3: on offense here and play four on five because Gafford

745
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: can't play. He's gotten There's no Gafford tape to tape

746
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: him up. Here's where Boylan can call a time out

747
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: because they got the ball, or take a fowl so

748
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to play four on five and then

749
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: five on four the other way. But nah, forty seconds

750
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: left in the half, he says, this kid can tough

751
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: it out. We could play four on five basketball. Luckily,

752
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: there was one decent human in the building. With an

753
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: injured Gafford still on the floor, the Bulls took it

754
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: out of bounce start dribbling up the floor into their

755
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: offensive set. Rick Carlisle, the Mavericks head coach, the guy

756
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: who would be advantaged by having an opposing player injured,

757
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: had one of his players take a foul out of

758
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: pure decency. He's like, you're gonna play with an injured

759
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: guy boiling, and Gafford was the camera on the mass

760
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: broadcast cut to boiling because they're wondering what's going on here,

761
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: and he was he was signaling like he was in

762
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: that amateur game that we were just talking about. You

763
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: gotta cut there, Cut there, man Boiling wanted to be shorthanded.

764
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 3: I would have loved to see it actually the mass

765
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: get a stop in a score with the Gafford and

766
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: not being able to play, because then that would have

767
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 3: probably got more publicity than this play actually got. Boiling

768
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 3: gets worse of the Week.

769
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: I bet you Vivid Granadive was watching this going, oh, yeah,

770
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: here we go, finally let a playoff see unfolds here?

771
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 6: You want a family quiet week. Boiling somehow man uged

772
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 6: to go in there and just grab that worst of

773
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 6: the week.

774
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, winless in twenty twenty are the Bulls Whinless told

775
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 5: you they're going to the playoffs, but they're still not

776
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: out of it because you gotta have faith. After the game,

777
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 5: Rick Carlyle said the Bulls are one of the hardest

778
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: playing teams in the league.

779
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 4: Nobody goes to bat for an in battled coach like

780
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 4: Rick Carlyle.

781
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 5: If there's any coach who's on the hot seat, Rick

782
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 5: Carlyle is going to tell you how good that coach,

783
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 5: which really is, even if they're not calling timeouts to

784
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 5: save their own players.

785
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: I love Jeff jeffskin Weight on the broadcast as part

786
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 3: of the MAVs team. They tried to explain it, tried

787
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: to understand what the heck was going on why they

788
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: weren't calling a timeout, And after it all, Skin's like,

789
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure what I just saw?

790
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 7: What the was?

791
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: That is just odd that a guy would play with

792
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: an injured guy.

793
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you already clocked in. Come get to work, all right,

794
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: Jim Boylan taking Worse of the Week honors. Good one, Jamy.

795
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 2: Let's fire that punk gun.

796
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 5: He's gone gun Dad.

797
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 7: Earlier this week, we rolled out a fun new episode

798
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 7: called The Trade Deadline Court, where the Honorable Judge Mellis

799
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 7: heard Trey Kirby and Lee Ellis plead their cases on

800
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 7: how teams should handle the upcoming trade deadline. I highly

801
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 7: recommend you check it out. In the meantime, with legal

802
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 7: matters on the dome, let's hear some NBA law puns

803
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 7: like Ben Summons.

804
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: How about the Honorable Judge Mark Ito. That's good.

805
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: I thought about Jail.

806
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: Gudridge, Michael Subpoena. That's an NBA writer pun, but I

807
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 3: don't care, all right. How about Sue Byrd Wow?

808
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: Good Tim Bontemps of Court.

809
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: Affid David Robinson.

810
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 6: I rest my Dwayne Casey.

811
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 7: Plea ellis.

812
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 4: Sport. Any puns out there?

Speaker 7: How about tasses Buddies, Dave and Ryan sentence.

814
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 4: Goodness, John Beef. You gotta pay a John b fine.

815
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 5: Like Courty mcghetty easy, Yeah, Daniel Gaffold, Andrew Powdered Wiggins, Patrick.

816
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: Mcclaw, Nat Duncan and Danny LaRue. They were lawyers. I've

817
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: pun got back. Well, we thought it was gone forever,

818
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: but no, we just we're gonna mix it up. Sometimes

819
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: the nickname games, sometimes punk gun something else. Yeah, you

820
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000

Speaker 2: turn it around.

849
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 4: That's right, we all had.

850
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: OKC versus the Rockets. Houston was favored by two and

851
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: a half. That actually surprised us a little bit. Way

852
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: the thunder had been playing, so we all took okay.

853
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: See plus the points hit the money line baby, everybody

854
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: picks up the win. Leale on fire still. Oh, he's

855
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: scorching hot.

856
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 6: Five and one, your one game behind me?

857
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty hot. Yeah, me and Trey or four

858
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: and two and Tass has fought his way back to

859
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: five hundred year So everybody looking pretty good here in January.

860
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: What's tonight's game?

861
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: We got a barn barner the Lakers visiting the Mavericks.

862
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 3: Mavericks are one and a half point favorites over the

863
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: La Lakers. It's kind of odd because the Lakers are

864
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: on fire. They've won six in a row while Dallas

865
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 3: has been struggling recently. They lost four of six. They're

866
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 3: two and two on their six game homestand no Anthony

867
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: Davis lower back Brews, no Porzingis. It's getting that PRP

868
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: for his right and he will be out at least

869
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: a couple more games. The fourth game between these two teams.

870
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, fourth game already between these two January tenth, they.

871
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 6: Had a real bomb or on a Friday night in

872
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 6: Dallas too, that was the overtime day.

873
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, too bad. They've played three pretty fun games

874
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 4: so far.

875
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lakers are two and one, and here's number four

876
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: at nine Eastern nine ESPN, Love the flex scheduling, love

877
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: the creative time. Yeah, they got rid of the Warriors

878
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: game on ESPN for this game.

879
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So Lee, I mean again, you're on fire man.

880
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: Where are you going? What's you got?

881
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 3: Say?

882
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, Lakers, I think they can. I just feel better

883
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 6: about them right now, even though Anthony Davis is I

884
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 6: don't know if he's officially out. Is he tonight? I

885
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 6: know they because he traveled with the team originally questionable. Yeah, yeah,

886
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 6: I'm guessing he's sitting. I'm making this pick assuming Davis

887
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 6: is not playing. But I think the Lakers they know

888
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 6: the room for a battle against Dallas, so they're gonna

889
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 6: They're gonna be bringing it. And even without Davis, They've

890
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 6: got two pretty good beats, so I think they can compensate.

891
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

892
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna be with Lee on this one.

893
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 5: Lebron I think is also considered probable. He's got an illness,

894
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 5: just like a lot of people in the NBA. But

895
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 5: Lakers are rolling. Give me that serve it on you

896
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 5: guys this time. Well, I don't know what Task is doing,

897
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 5: but uh, I'm gonna go MAVs. I'm gonna take the

898
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 5: Mavericks at home. The one and a half seems like

899
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 5: a weird line to me. It makes me do it

900
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 5: makes me think, yeah, that maybe LBJ does miss this

901
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 5: because of a flu and stuff like that. That flu's like,

902
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 5: you're right ravaged the NBA and like guys that get

903
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 5: it like missed like three or four games too.

904
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 4: I kind of wonder if it's all our fault. You know,

905
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: we had Sarah Kustack here.

906
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 5: Maybe we got her sick and then she passed it

907
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 5: along to all of the various arenas that she's been

908
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 5: in since it's possible.

909
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 2: Okay, so I got a mass task for patient zero. Yeah.

910
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 3: I think the MAVs bounce back after that heartbreaker against

911
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 3: Nicole Leo Kitch no real big. I don't if Anthony

912
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: Davis doesn't play the pound out low although they are.

913
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: I'll take the MAVs, take them.

914
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 2: I'll all right, tass and I got the MAVs favored

915
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 2: by one and a half. We got Lee and Trey

916
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: taken the cares. Okay, we're almost done here on a Friday.

917
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 2: But before we go, so rapid firefight.

918
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 6: Toronto rapt the Swingman run Hollis Jefferson recently went up

919
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 6: the Sea In Tower in Toronto and attempted to walk

920
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 6: out to the glass floor, which is over eleven hundred

921
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 6: feet above the ground. However, RHJ is afraid of heights,

922
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 6: and he freaked out and could only manage to call

923
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 6: out on the glass on his ass. Tell me about

924
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 6: the last time something freaked you out, Tassy.

925
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 3: Well, I just got in the car with Danielle recently,

926
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: my significant other. She was driving. We're backing out of

927
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 3: our driveway. We get onto the road and she she gasps.

928
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: Anytime someone gasps in the car, I freak out. I'm

929
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: worried at least that it ran over an animal or

930
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: something that that in fact ran over Lucy, you know

940
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:05,879

00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 7: Actually, I went into the restroom for my morning constitutional.

944
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,440

947
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: Over the summer, there was a bunch of owls around

948
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 5: our property near the apartments. One day there I saw

949
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 5: an owl sitting out by the dumpsters, so I'm like, oh,

950
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 5: we gotta go look at this owl. Took the girls

951
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 5: down and it's really cool to see an owl. We

952
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 5: were like maybe fifteen feet away. But it's also like,

953
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 5: why are you seeing an owl during the day? And

954
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 5: if it decided to pick up a child, could it could?

955
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 5: I'm not fighting an owl. I'm just scaring to try

956
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 5: and catch that kid whenever it drops. Oh but man,

957
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 5: like ours, you just shouldn't see them.

958
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 4: I want to know they're out there.

959
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 5: I want to hear the who, but I don't want

960
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 5: to see them looking at me with their slow scare

961
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 5: away freak.

962
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,080

Speaker 7: that's what you got to do, prods him.

1015
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 6: Our final rapid fire question comes from emailer Ryan. I

1016
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 6: will always remember rail and shot in Game six against

1017
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 6: the Spurs as I was at a house party with

1018
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 6: friends watching the game, and right as Alan was about

1019
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 6: to shoot, my stupid ex girlfriend Christa shut off the

1020
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 6: TV and hid the remote as a prank. For some reason,

1021
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 6: I couldn't find the on button for the TV and

1022
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 6: by the time I found out, the game was pretty

1023
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 6: much over. I now suffer from PTSD when watching big

1024
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 6: sports moments. Don't ever be a Christa. So my question

1025
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 6: is to you, when have you been significantly interrupted in

1026
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 6: the situation and what was the result.

1027
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 3: Task Well, myself and a couple buddies we just turned

1028
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: twenty one, very excited for this trip where we're living

1029
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: in can at the time. We took a Greyhound bus

1030
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 3: across the border to get into the US where we

1031
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 3: were going to catch a flight from Buffalo to Vegas.

1032
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: Gamble our faces off. But we got to the US border,

1033
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: some people had to get off the bus for some

1034
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 3: extra screening, and my friends were both selective. Slowly, those

1035
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 3: being questioned were coming back one by one, including one

1036
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 3: of my friends, but my other bud was taken so

1037
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: long that the Greyhound bus said they had to go.

1038
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: We stayed with our friend at the border. It was

1039
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: very likely being held because of his skin color. Highly

1040
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 3: highly likely because nothing on his criminal record. Although my

1041
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 3: other friend who was released did have a small criminal

1042
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 3: a criminal record was something minor on it. Anyway, Eventually

1043
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: our friend came out, the bus was gone. We took

1044
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 3: public transit trying to say some collars here in Buffalo

1045
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: to get to the airport. Not the most fun public

1046
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 3: transit experience. We eventually got to Las Vegas, where the

1047
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 3: guy who was held back for a long time at

1048
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: the border lost his shirt. Not a good trip for

1049
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 3: him or I was there.

1050
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 7: It was June eighth, I think, twenty two thousand and six.

1051
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 7: Dallas Mavericks had just beaten the Miami Heat ninety to

1052
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 7: eighty in it in game one of the finals. We

1053
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 7: were doing a podcast over Skype when my wife came

1054
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 7: upstairs interrupted the show to inform me she was bleeding badly.

1055
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 3: She was six months pregnant.

1056
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 7: We stopped the show I think it's the only time

1057
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 7: we've ever done that.

1058
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: Huh.

1059
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 7: You guys remember that.

1060
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 4: I sort of remember this the other.

1061
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 7: I was like, we were in mid show and I

1062
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 7: just said I have to go and then hung up

1063
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 7: and we left. And anyway, the result was that she

1064
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 7: had placented previa, which is where the placenta lies low

1065
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 7: in the uterus and partially or completely covers the cervix,

1066
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 7: which in her case completely covered it. She ended up

1067
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 7: being hospitalized for the rest of her pregnancy. She was

1068
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 7: injected with steroids to expedite the babies lung development. After

1069
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 7: eight weeks in the hospital, she started bleeding again, ended

1070
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 7: up with an emergency c section, nearly died, needed three

1071
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 7: bags of blood. And that's how we Lincoln Doyle came

1072
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 7: into the world.

1073
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: The story it's crazy.

1074
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 5: Wowkay, A lot better story than me. I haven't taken

1075
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:26,160

00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,880
