63
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: podcasts coming on this Wednesday for you, but we start

64
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: this one. We start the Daily Show with an early

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: season show staple, completely overreacting after just one night of

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: NBA basketball. That's right, the sky is falling and we

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: got a blow. Things totally out of proportion. So let's play.

68
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: It's just one game, but and who wants to get

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: us started down there in atl.

70
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 5: I'll get us started. It's just one game, but Lebron

71
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: James is nowhere near the best player in the game

72
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: top ten. I don't think so, not even close. Seven

73
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 5: for nineteen. He missed twelve shots, eighteen points, five turnovers. Yuck.

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: Washed it was near the best player last night.

75
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: Why did you say that on the.

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: Court as the best player in the league. MM, you

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: know what.

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, literally near that's try he was standing near him.

79
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: You're standing near Kawhi Leonard.

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: I get it.

81
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 5: In all honesty, I think it just shows that the

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 5: Lakers need, desperately need another guy who can dribble, who

83
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 5: can really put it on the floor and take it

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: to the rack, because everybody just loading up on Lebron

85
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: and Anthony Davis and just watching those two guys and

86
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: the other three guys are literally guys who can't dribble

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 5: at the NBA level. They can't Danny Green even though

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 5: he pops twenty eight points. You just can't count on

89
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: him for that. And the list goes on and on.

90
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 5: It'll help when Rajon Rondo comes back. I get that,

91
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: But there's five turnovers for Lebron James in this game

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 5: where you're just counting on him to do too much.

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 5: You're counting on him to bring the ball up. Be

94
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 5: your point guard, be your score, be your assistment defend

95
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 5: at a high level, somebody else has to be the

96
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 5: de facto point guard. Again, Rondo will help. But you

97
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: look historically at Lebron's teams, He's had even a guy

98
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 5: like Mario Chalmers who can handle the ball and just

99
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: let Lebron sort of sit on the you know, on

100
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: the wing and just hang out and not have to

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 5: bring up the ball every single possession. Because guys like

102
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 5: Danny Green and Avery Bradley. I think Alex Caruso might

103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: be the answer. Now they get spanked by the Clippers.

104
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: The Clippers are a championship team. Yeah, they're absolutely a

105
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: championship team. This is this lineup that we're talking about

106
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: here with the Lakers is probably good enough to beat

107
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: a bunch of teams in the league and still you know,

108
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: get you to fifty wins. But but it is a worry

109
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 5: with Lebron having to do too much already for this

110
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: team because they struck out it in free agency, unlike

111
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: the Clippers, who are stacked from their team last year.

112
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, you're right, and I will just go one step

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: third and that with a bold prediction, the Clippers will

114
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: have three all stars this season. Three all Stars in

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: the Western Conference. In the Western Conference, Kawhi is an

116
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: absolute luck. Lou Williams is going That third one is open.

117
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: That third one is including Paul George.

118
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. There's Paul George, There's Patrick Beverly Montrez. Yeah,

119
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: one of those guys is going to get in that

120
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: because they are very deep and very well balanced this team,

121
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: and they've got a lot of hard workers, guys like

122
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverly doesn't shoot the ball and score the ball

123
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: all that well, but defensively he was just I thought fantastic, absolutely,

124
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: and again I picked him to in defensive player. He

125
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: probably won't because he won't get the sort of high

126
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: ranking statistical numbers, but as far as a guy who

127
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: sets the table for your defense and makes other guys

128
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: bring it, I think he's going to be superb on

129
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: that team. So I like, I like so many things

130
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: about the Clippers, even a guy like Landry Shamont. Last night,

131
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: again they picked him up in the trade last season.

132
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: He's been very good. All he has to do is

133
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: shoot three pointers for them and he'll be a very

134
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: very good player, good defensive player. Patrick Patterson got the

135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: start last night, which was unusual he was kind of

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: out of the league.

137
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: Gets unusual unless you remember that Doc Rivers as the

138
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: coach for the Clippers. He loves random Eastern Conference veterans.

139
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, I wasn't surprised to see pat Patterson out

140
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: there running around barely able to bend at the waist.

141
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: But also, you know, the one question coming into the

142
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: game would would they be able to defend Anthony Davis?

143
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: And Davis had a good game, but I thought overall,

144
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 3: he didn't just bully them down low. You know, they

145
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: had they had a lot though, Yeah they did, but

146
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: guys like Jamichael Green got to go at him. Zubats

147
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: didn't really get him a lot. But Patterson played a

148
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,559
Speaker 3: few possessions as well. So you know, the Clippers probably

149
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: wouldn't hurt to have a rim protector. But what they

150
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: have right now is just a lot of really tough,

151
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: gritty defense and who are very very hot to sort

152
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: of push you out the white.

153
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: And for a Lakers team that, like tass is saying,

154
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: is lacking ball handlers in general, not to mention injuries,

155
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: are keeping a couple of guys who might even be

156
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of a solution. It's gonna be really

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: tough to go against the Clippers team who can keep.

158
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Throwing depth and engaged defenders.

159
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of like when Lonzo Ball started

160
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: his very first game in the NBA and it was

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: against Patrick Beverley. Maybe the worst possible matchup you could

162
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: have against the Clippers. Again, if you have problems initiating offense,

163
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna obviously make it very tough for you. I

164
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: did think it was pretty interesting to see all those

165
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: post ups though. That seemed to be the Lakers' way

166
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: of saying, we're not gonna be getting a lot of

167
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: dribble penetration, but if we can clear off the side,

168
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: maybe everybody else just mixes it up and cuts it.

169
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: Somebody will get open.

170
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: That's gonna take a little bit of time to build

171
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: that chemistry to figure out where the shots are.

172
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

173
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: Maybe post ups are back. We were seeing a ton

174
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: of post ups from Kawhi Leonard as well. That's gonna

175
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: be a way teams attack. I'd love to see a

176
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: mid post game here.

177
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm worried. I'm just worried for the Lakers that

178
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: they're going to rely a lot on Rejon Rondo.

179
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bad a lot, And you're right, he can

180
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: put the ball on the floor, but he doesn't help

181
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: this spicing. No, no, So you know, if he's penetrating, fine,

182
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: if he's throwing lobs to they've got three guys they

183
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: can throw lubs too. But if Rundo isn't able to

184
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: do that in the half court, then it's just going

185
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: to clog the paint even more, I think for that

186
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: team and just again not give guys like Lebron and

187
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis' space that they need to operate.

188
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: But you say, also missing Kuzma too, Benny Kuzma shooting.

189
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: He's a guy who can attack a close out and

190
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: at least score the basketball. That being said, Andre Guadalla

191
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: seems like the perfect fit. Who knows that there's going

192
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: to be a way to get Andrea Guadala to the Lakers.

193
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: But somebody who plays in big games, creates for others

194
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: passing the ball and plays defense, that's perfect.

195
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

196
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: Do you think though you sort of slipped it in

197
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: their task. If the Lakers are playing you know, twenty

198
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: five other teams last night, they probably come out with

199
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: a win. It was just that they ran into this

200
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: obviously super super deep and locked in Clippers team. Is

201
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: that is that fair to say, like you're not that

202
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: worried about how they're going to, you know, look moving forward. Yeah,

203
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: they got to get these guys back. But the Clippers,

204
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: like you said, are title contenders. Improved it on night one.

205
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: I think they can still put up a fifty spot

206
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 5: and wins. Yeah, because of the two guys talking about

207
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: in Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Yeah, and the Clippers

208
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 5: was shocking to me, and we made our pick and

209
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: payoff picks at the end of the game at the

210
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: end of our show yesterday. Part of why myself and

211
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: I'm sure Lee and Trey also picked the Lakers is

212
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: because you know, they've they've sort of looked better, you know,

213
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 5: like Kawhi Leonard hasn't looked himself. But for them to

214
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: come out and look like a playoff team from night one,

215
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: I think just in general the two games yesterday, I

216
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 5: found it shocking that the ball was so polished and

217
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 5: sharp on Night one. Usually it gets it's a little

218
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: dumpy to start the season, but this no dumps, no

219
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: no dumps, no danks, no dumps, no dunks to start

220
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 5: the season like this, maybe it's guys just playing in

221
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 5: September a lot. Maybe it's guys being ready all year long.

222
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: I was shocked to the Clippers man one through, like

223
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 5: Lee said, one through, I don't know nine.

224
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: When they get George, they have two teams, like they

225
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 4: have two rosters, I mean five and five. Like it's

226
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 4: wild because all the guys like Michael Green was great,

227
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: you know, Harold of course, Harkless I thought was solid,

228
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 4: and you know, nearly thirty minutes at least defensively chipped

229
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: in ten and four great four steals, two blocks too,

230
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 4: and then and then lou Is lou So, I mean

231
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: that's yeah, there are four guys on the bench scored

232
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: sixty one points and what the Lakers side to do,

233
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: nothing like twenty something like that.

234
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got killed. They just got killed all

235
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: over the place that that second. You know, I mean,

236
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: Dudley hit a couple of threes, but there was no

237
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 3: one out there who you could really move that team forward.

238
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 3: If Lebron or Anthony Davis wasn't on the court, the

239
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: lake has looked awful.

240
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: It wasn't in toll Well. The Lakers went on a

241
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: massive run when Lebron was.

242
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: Off well Okay, that's is true. That did happen in

243
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: the third quart up.

244
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 5: But they're gonna stagger them one hundred percent of the

245
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: time now, I mean, they really have no choice. There

246
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: was a very short stint where they sat both of

247
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: them in the first half and they were minus five

248
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 5: less than two minutes, and then it didn't happen in

249
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: the second half. That's why I'm worried about Lebron. He

250
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 5: literally has to be a lot for this team, and

251
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 5: you know, he wanted to eat. Like you said, they're

252
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: posting up Anthony Davis. Hey, Anthony Davis, you are the

253
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: guy on this team, which is nice. It's nice for Lebron,

254
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 5: you know, the best player in the world for a

255
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 5: long period of time to be giving it to Anthony Davis.

256
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 5: But Lebron's still asked to do a heck of a

257
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 5: lot on this team. And you know, I thought maybe

258
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: those two months I guess in April, May and June

259
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 5: where he was kind of chilling out, would help. But

260
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it is a lot on the basketball floor.

261
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: I guess that doesn't really matter when it comes to October.

262
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: And what do you think about Kawhi Leonard's you know,

263
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: thirty point six and five and a little defense in there.

264
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 4: His game overall, he looked like he had missed a beat.

265
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: I mean that was just he would just get that

266
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: stretch where he hit seven shots in a row. It

267
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 4: was like it was flashbacks to the playoffs. He was like,

268
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: I'm going to go I'm going to go to my

269
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: spot and i Am going to rise up and shoot

270
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: this jumper and then we will do it again and again.

271
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Thirty points in thirty one minutes, and like your sayings, Keats,

272
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: it was basically the same thing.

273
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: The guy could have.

274
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: Five players hanging on his shoulders and he's still going

275
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: to find a way to get a little sliver of

276
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: space or keep control of his body and the ball

277
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: and find a guy in the corner for a three pointer.

278
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: Kawhi looked like the best player in the game. I

279
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: think it's pretty clear that he is, and I thought

280
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: it was pretty interesting to see that. Joe Varden today

281
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: on the Athletics said he is the biggest power broker

282
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: in the game since Lebron. You don't think of Kawhi

283
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: as a guy like that. But he did get out

284
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: of San Antonio, he did get to Toronto win a title,

285
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: and then he did get to LA and entaste Paul

286
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: George to come with him.

287
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, he's a power player. It's amazing.

288
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: And he did it all in only thirty two minutes

289
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 3: last night. It's not like he was playing super heavy

290
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: minutes because they have that balance and that depth on

291
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: that team. And he started off a little bit rusty,

292
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: a couple of turnouts, a couple of misshot, but once

293
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: he found that groove, and once he had KCP on

294
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: him as well, I think he was licking his lips

295
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 3: a lot of that because he just got anything he want.

296
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: I'm surprised now. Look, he was sitting some tough shots,

297
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: to be fair, but KCP was on him a lot

298
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: of that stretch when he hit those seven a row.

299
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't know why Frank Vogel kept him on there

300
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: because he wasn't even really contesting enough shots. But again,

301
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: you know, we've seen Kawhi do this where he just

302
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: gets hot and he gets to his spots and he

303
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: gets tho shot tough and I mean he doesn't have

304
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: a pretty looking shot, but it is effective, it is

305
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: and you know, defensively, again, he was great last night.

306
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: So you can see why. The Clippers were pretty pretty

307
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: happy to get him, and they put in eight years

308
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: of work to try to get him, and Lawrence Frank

309
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 3: had to fly around watching the Raptors all last season. Lee,

310
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: what did you think of Kawai's And I guess Paul

311
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: George is a terminator sort of commercial there with the

312
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: new Terminator coming out brilliant. I just thought it was fantastic.

313
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: I really did, because that's.

314
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: Pretty good, very funny.

315
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paul George is horrible. He's bad. He was a

316
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: bad actor.

317
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: He lost one Paul no charisma.

318
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: The funny thing for me is though that I would

319
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: have thought that's the sort of thing I would have

320
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: wanted to stay away from in his first season in LA,

321
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: like you know, getting involved in Hollywood and acting and

322
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: all that. But yeah, he killed it. And I didn't

323
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: even know there was a new Terminator. I thought it

324
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: was just a sort of like, hey, Kawi's in LA,

325
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: and then I saw the bit at the end, so

326
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: there's a new terminator coming out. But how many times

327
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 3: I mean, this terminated is one commy bait, And I've

328
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: got a feeling come the end of the movie, they're

329
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: gonna figure out a way it.

330
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: Is shocking to see in Arnold. Do you think he's like,

331
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: in your head, he's like a six five sixty six giant.

332
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 4: But then he's like he's not at all, I mean

333
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 4: is towering over him. He's like under six feet. It's

334
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: very weird and everything. Instead it's like this guy, come on, man, Okay,

335
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: well who's who's got another you know, overreaction here. It's

336
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: just one game. Button Obviously we can talk about the

337
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 4: Pelicans Raptors too, or you can stick with the Lakers Clippers.

338
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: It's just one game.

339
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: But the Clippers need their own building. That was an

340
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: awesome night for the Clippers, and it looked like you

341
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: were watching a Lakers home game. They were wearing gold

342
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: on Staple Center's home court. I think that this is

343
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: a long term Nike play. They knew that there was

344
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: gonna be a season where Anthony Davis finally gets to

345
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: LA So they're like, how are we actually gonna be

346
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: on the road to start a game but still get

347
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: to wear our gold jerseys. We'll talk the Clippers into it. Yeah, sure,

348
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: they'll switch jerseys. They'll wear blue at home the very

349
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: first night, the biggest night and Clippers and it looks

350
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: like the Lakers.

351
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: It got loud for the Clippers.

352
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Steve Bomber was going crazy, and it

353
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: definitely did get loud when they were going on their runs,

354
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: when they really turned the defense up at the end

355
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: of the first half, But it was still louder for

356
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers. It's twenty twenty four before the Clippers are

357
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: gonna be able to move into their new stadium, and

358
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: it's too bad they can't expedite that because who knows

359
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: where Paul George and Kwhi Leonard are going to be

360
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: by twenty twenty five.

361
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: I do got to be there now.

362
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: I think I heard Simmons talking about this. I do

363
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: love the atmosphere though, like of a game like that

364
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 4: where it does feel like there's like sort of equal

365
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: numbers of Lakers fans and then Clippers fans.

366
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: They didn't feel like equal numbers. No way. It was

367
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: kuay louder for the Lakers.

368
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: Okay, yes it was tilted towards Lakers fans. I agree

369
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: with that, but there was cheering for both teams within

370
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: the game, and I think it makes for a cool,

371
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 4: cooling experience.

372
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: That's like when the Lakers comes with LA I mean

373
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: there's no cheering.

374
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 4: You talk about there's no Pelicans fans in Toronto last night.

375
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: Is my point something that you know, JJ Reddy hits

376
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: a shot. There's not people clapping, there's not people cheering,

377
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: but there is this game Lakers good.

378
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: There was people jeering. Kawhi ended though when he tried

379
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: to address the craft.

380
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, because.

381
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: You want case. What you're looking for is a little

382
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 5: bit of a soccer atmosphere.

383
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, sort of, you're right. That's exactly right man,

384
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: the supporter. Yeah, I love it. I just love it.

385
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: I think it makes for a cool viewing experience when

386
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: there's like the cheering on both sides.

387
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: It was strange. It shouldn't be strange because the Clippers

388
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: home court is not a home court at all. It

389
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 5: really is. It is a Lakers' home court. Uh. That

390
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 5: was strange. But at the same time, I like all

391
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 5: the Clippers branding and the floor experience. The floor I

392
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: think looks very cool.

393
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: The black paint, I think it looks cool.

394
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it looks like the Nets.

395
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: I think it looks the Clippers are now the Nets,

396
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: who are the second team.

397
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: In their city.

398
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 5: Listen, man, you got to go black did you see

399
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: the first game.

400
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't got to go black.

401
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: You the first game where they wear black's sake, it's

402
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: not good. Get They should honestly buy in more to

403
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Braves and wear orange. They could be the

404
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: team that makes orange cool and looks cool. They have

405
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: history with it. That could be a color that they

406
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: own rather than wearing blue and white and red, which

407
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: is anything.

408
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: It sounds like we may not even have the Clippers

409
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 4: that long because there's talks of like Steve Ballmer just

410
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: completely getting like changing the name when they do the

411
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: move to the They need.

412
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: A complete total rebrand, not even be affiliated in.

413
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Any way with the Lakers. They can be their own thing.

414
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: They're big enough now.

415
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 5: You can't go back to the Braves. There's no no

416
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 5: Native American work here.

417
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that part on.

418
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 5: The history of the Orange looks good. But I will say,

419
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 5: like up in the rafters where all the Lakers banners

420
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 5: are hanging and the lake, the Clippers used to hang

421
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: selfies of themselves over top of them. It was a

422
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 5: you know, a Blake Griffin or Chris Paul and it's

423
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: evolved over the but but it was selfies. Now up

424
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 5: there is the backs of all their players in a huddle.

425
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: It's Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and Patrick Beverly and

426
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 5: it says, la our way because they're going at the Lakers.

427
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: You want to be your individual stars. We're a team.

428
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 5: In their intro video, a lot of marketing catchphrases grid

429
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 5: over gol lamb going right at the Lakers, Lee Jenkins

430
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: coming through exactly, street lights over spotlights, squad over self. Yeah,

431
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: team versus individuals, squat.

432
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Over self, squad that makes better.

433
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 5: I wouldn't.

434
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: That's people could take a squatties, you know, picture of

435
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: themselves thrown down, a sick wrap squad.

436
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 5: But I did you see them hang the banner in

437
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 5: Toronto yesterday? Black is the key man. You got you

438
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 5: go black. It's cool, the black, the black colors. Everywhere,

439
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 5: it's happening. It's happening everywhere.

440
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: Black is cool, don't.

441
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 5: I am not a fan of the subway tile on

442
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 5: the baseline. It looks like subway tile. It shouldn't happen.

443
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 5: There's there's no subway. It's not happening. That's a straight steal.

444
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 4: Well, let's move to let's move to the you know

445
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 4: that banner talk I'm gonna go it's just one game.

446
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 4: But Pascal Siaka is an All NBA lock you fools

447
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: on Monday Show, I said, because by way of Grange,

448
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: with that contract incentive that he makes the first or

449
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: second team All NBA or wins the MV Award this season,

450
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 4: you know, he gets more money. His deal could go

451
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: up to like one hundred and fifty six million in

452
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: that four year deal. And you guys laughed at me.

453
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: Pascal Siakam making All NBA. He's a luck boys. You

454
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: see that. That's the next player right there. Last night

455
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: thirty four points, eighteen boards, five assists. He didn't have

456
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: a good game. When he put up thirty four and eighteen, he.

457
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: Could have had forty easily. I was that was my

458
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: early overreaction.

459
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam is a bust because he kept getting these

460
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: incredible spin moves. He was right at the rim and

461
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: we just missed the bunny because he you know, it's

462
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: the very first game of the NBA season. Still ended

463
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: up with thirty four filed out in regulation. Yeah, could

464
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: have easily had forty. Siakam looked incredible.

465
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: It could have finished forty and twenty two if he

466
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: had played in overtime. He was incredible And again, you

467
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: guys are sort of mentioned it there. When I looked

468
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: at the box score and he had like twenty six,

469
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, when did that happen? He seemed to

470
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: be kind of clunking his shots early, he didn't quite

471
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: have that polish. But then, like as true franchise player

472
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 3: should do, he stepped up and carried his team because

473
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: the Pelicans were in that game for a lot of it. Yeah,

474
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: and then Pascal was the one you know, it was

475
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: the big deal. Well not the only big difference, but

476
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: certainly a key for the Raptor is they coming down

477
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: the stretch until he failed out.

478
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. I looked at the box score as well, and

479
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: it was just the free throws he was getting too

480
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: the room. He's getting some calls. I think the Raptors

481
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 5: are getting a bit of a championship whistle at times

482
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 5: in that game. And I think they won it over

483
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 5: this team in New Orleans, who I think is a

484
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 5: huge moral victory the way they played. They played so well,

485
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 5: they played well enough to win, and I think a

486
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 5: couple of calls that went Kyle Lowry's way at the

487
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 5: end where I think he bit it when Julia Locoford

488
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 5: was sort of close to him when he took a

489
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: three point shot, sold that really nicely. I think that's

490
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 5: going to be a point of education next year. Watch

491
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 5: for guys foul or falling when they shoot, they're falling.

492
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: You can't just blow the whistle because the guy falls.

493
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 5: And then Kyle Lowry sort of emphasized when he was

494
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: out of control on a drive and got through the

495
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 5: free throw line under a minute left, when Josh Hart

496
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 5: was sort of around him, got another whistle. I think

497
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 5: that basically changed it. Championship whistle. It happened, but that

498
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: was a championship win. It really felt like the guys

499
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: just the Raptors did not to get to the end.

500
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 5: And then yeah they they just they want it. But

501
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 5: they got some incredible performances from Pascal and Fred van Vliet,

502
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: who was now a starter and looks like he's totally

503
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 5: totally cool being a starter.

504
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: Obviously, well that's true. He looks good as a starter,

505
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: but the problem for the Raptor is that bench is

506
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: very very thin. I think you got surge coming off.

507
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: He was good. Norm Poal. I don't know what the

508
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: hell that shot was at the end of regular.

509
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, I mean the head scratcher.

510
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: I always think about that. He had so much time there.

511
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: Is that what Nick Nurse said or did he just

512
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: say he just said no, whatever the plan was, we

513
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 3: couldn't I couldn't see it. So I just decided to

514
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: fire away because it just didn't make any sense at

515
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: all that he that was the best look that he could.

516
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 5: Cross to get a heck of a lot closer to

517
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: the rim I think was.

518
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: I mean, anything would have been better than that.

519
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: Almost dropped though, in all honesty, he barely missed it.

520
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 3: But you're right, I mean, it's a it's a bad shot,

521
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 3: it's a bat.

522
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 5: I think they wanted Drew Holiday off the ball completely,

523
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 5: so they had Fred van Vliet in the corner and Drew,

524
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 5: who was just shutting guys down because he's incredible defender.

525
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had that one block. I think it was

526
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: on Siakam sort of kind of swatted it out of

527
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: his hand at left hand. But anyway, that's the thing

528
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: that's the big question though for the Raptors. Lowry played

529
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: forty five minutes last night, Van Vliet forty four, Siakam

530
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 3: only thirty eight. But he would have played in the

531
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: forties if he didn't foul out either. Nick Nurse doesn't

532
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: trust too many people on that bench or MASSAGERI is

533
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: just going to have to go out there and figure

534
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: out a way to get a little bit of help

535
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 3: there because Lowry at his age and Marcus Ool as well,

536
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 3: those guys just can't play heavy, heavy minutes in the

537
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 3: regular season.

538
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: I think Holds Jefferson will be getting minutes, but obviously

539
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 4: wasn't playing last night. I think he'll be a part

540
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 4: of that benchro Teacher, Well.

541
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 3: He's going to have to Beah, he's going to have

542
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 3: to be because the thing with Norm Pale, he has

543
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: his moments where you think this guy is a good

544
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: player and he can play a role, but he has

545
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: far too many moments where he just like he's just

546
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: out of his depth and you can only trust him

547
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: for a handful of minutes.

548
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't be too worried about it. It was ring Nate.

549
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 2: I feel like Nick Nurse was playing the heads, playing

550
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: the championship cover band that the team that won the

551
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: championship was the team that played on the floor last night.

552
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 2: You throw in Terrence Davis looking like a football player,

553
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: just throwing his.

554
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: Body all around. I thought that was fun to watch.

555
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, it's night one.

556
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: It's okay to play forty five minutes and try and

557
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: win as they're hanging your first championship banner.

558
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: I'm not too upset about that.

559
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Siakam and his spins is is just

560
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 4: something else. It's just non stop spinning. It's all he does.

561
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 4: But and Van Vliet, he did an incredible job, obviously

562
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 4: knocking down five threes, but there was that stretch where

563
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: he was like he was just getting into the into

564
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 4: the paint and layups like three in a row where

565
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 4: he was just cooking guys, his dribbles looking tight, and

566
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: so that was that was a great game obviously for him.

567
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 4: I'm worried that Van Vliet and they are gonna take

568
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 4: away most Improved votes from each other because you know,

569
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: going back to back and now, yes, yeah, maybe that

570
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: as well. What did you think about the Pelicans, especially,

571
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: you know some of those young Leakers guys coming over

572
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: Lonzo Ball. I thought Ingram had a great game. What

573
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: do you think about the Pelicans overall? I mean forcing overtime?

574
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 4: They played a pretty good game, like you were saying,

575
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 4: tests it was entertain good start for that.

576
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram seems to be the guy who's going to

577
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 3: be the focus on offense for them. He took plenty

578
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: of shots, took a lot of threes, shot okay in

579
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 3: the end. Eight for nineteen seemed to sort of start

580
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: off a little bit slowly, but yeah, I think he's

581
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: out there trying to sort of show that it's time

582
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 3: for him to take on the role of the leading

583
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: scorer on this team. Whether or not he can shoulder

584
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: that responsibility all season is going to be tough because

585
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: he's got a nice jump shot, but whenever he goes inside,

586
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: I just worry he's just not big enough to be

587
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: able to sort of push guys around. So if that

588
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 3: jump shots not falling, I don't think he has a

589
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: whole lot of in the repertoire to sort of go

590
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: inside and get some easy baskets. That's a bit of

591
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: a concern for me. But you know, Lonzo started off

592
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: all right, hit a couple of threes, but a bit

593
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: of a concern with him. He wasn't on the court

594
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: sort of late in that fourth quarter, which is again

595
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Alvin Gentry was just going with

596
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: other guys or he just didn't sort of feel to

597
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: have a lot of faith in Lonzo because I thought

598
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 3: Lonso's bor control early on was fine. It's just that shot.

599
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 3: He hit a couple of threes, as I said, but

600
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: that shot, I'm not sure if Alvin trusts at Layton

601
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 3: game yet.

602
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's hard to keep Josh Hart on the floor.

603
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: I know he's the smallest of the or off the floor.

604
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: I should say he's the smallest of those three names

605
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 5: that came over from Los Angeles. But that guy is

606
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 5: just grit. Yeah, you know, guy, every team and every

607
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 5: coach would want to have him on the floor. So

608
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: he was scrapping and doing a lot so they would

609
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 5: be tiny, you know, if you have Lonzo and Drew

610
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 5: and Josh Hart on the floor at the same time.

611
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 5: And I guess that's what happened. But yeah, they've they've

612
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 5: got They're so deep, and that's sort of an issue

613
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 5: with them who's playing at the end of games. But

614
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 5: to see them come out like that, and to see

615
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 5: Lonzo Ball really comfortable shooting the ball like that, where

616
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: did that come from? I mean, he didn't even think

617
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: twice when he chucked it up, even though his line

618
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: is not great. In the end, I think they should

619
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 5: just they should be so so happy. It really stinks

620
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 5: for them that they didn't win with how well they played,

621
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: but I think it's a huge moral victory coming off

622
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 5: the Zion Williamson scenario and the way they played in

623
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 5: the Champs House. Yeah.

624
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: I was encouraging and considering the news earlier this for

625
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: the Pelicans. That's about as good of a start as

626
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: you could have if you're going to take the l

627
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: I will say I did like Lonzo's three pointer where

628
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: he pumped, faked, and then shot a one footed runner

629
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: from three. We know James Harden has been working on

630
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: this move during the off season. Doesn't look like Lonzo

631
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: was putting in the.

632
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: Hours quite as much. But it's good to see other

633
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: guys are trying to innovate as well.

634
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 3: But he got caught in that, didn't he.

635
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, this was not an intentional

636
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: one footed running three, but I think we should stick

637
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: with not shooting him.

638
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of shooting threes though, the Italian Melly Melly

639
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 3: Kelly Nelly, and then what about the Canadian odd long name.

640
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 3: He was not afraid chuck it was loving it.

641
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 4: Alexander and one for seven from down ten and at

642
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 4: one point, I think after eight minutes he had eight shots,

643
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: the second most on the.

644
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: Team for the Pelicans coming off the bench.

645
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 4: He's in Canada, man, Yeah, and.

646
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 3: He's from Toronto, I think too, so maybe had some

647
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: family there and he was just a little little trying

648
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: to sit a show off in front of them.

649
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 5: And that's why you mentioned their shots. They get up

650
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 5: so quickly into the front court in Game one, and

651
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 5: so that's why they're a league pass team even without

652
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: Zion Williams. They they're literally I couldn't believe how fast

653
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 5: they were getting up and getting into their shots. Twenty

654
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: seconds on the shock locks still and they're you know,

655
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: making their second pass, you know, within their offense. That's

656
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 5: why they they were really, really fun. But the champs

657
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 5: are too much.

658
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 4: And what did you think about the the banner ceremony,

659
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 4: the ring ceremony, did you guys? I assume TNT was

660
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 4: showing it down in the States. I mean I was

661
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 4: obviously watching it on the Canadian channel up here where

662
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 4: they showed the whole thing. What do you think of that?

663
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 5: We were getting clips on TNT. Oh, it wasn't entirely live.

664
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: We got the whole thing, the whole thing with intros

665
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: and bringing all the you know, the owners and the

666
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: players and all that kind of stuff.

667
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Big pop ra Alex.

668
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: Mcackney and Jamal mcluw was really rising the roof when

669
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 3: he came out.

670
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, big roar for Jamal McLure as well.

671
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 3: And uh and Nick Nick News when he got his

672
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: he did a little shimmy afterwards after he got the handshake.

673
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: That was just he's such a cool coach because he's

674
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: kind of a dog, but he's an awesome coach.

675
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 4: You know.

676
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: It was exactly right.

677
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like pretty pretty by the book, and

678
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: you know, as far as ceremonies go, or championship ceremonies

679
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: and showing the banner, I thought the banner looks like

680
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 4: you were saying there, it looks a little unique, a

681
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: little cool. I like that. The division banners are just

682
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 4: now they're just all on one banner.

683
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 5: Did you see that task Oh I didn't know.

684
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: I just list them all now, and then there's the

685
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference champion banner, and then of course there's the

686
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 4: World champion.

687
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about the Tim Hortons one?

688
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 4: Is that still I'm not sure. I wasn't at the game.

689
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: I was, of course it's still there, Yeah.

690
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: It's gotta be still there. But yeah, and the rings.

691
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 4: The rings are insane there. They are gigantic, like how

692
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: far they come off? And Sergeant Bacca is killing me

693
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: just doing the posing, keep putting his hand on his

694
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 4: face so you can see the ring.

695
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: The biggest single diamond in sports ring history, one point

696
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 5: five apparently. But nice.

697
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I guess Kyle Lowry had some input in them.

698
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 4: I know Eric Karrena with The Athletic has an article on.

699
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: K had some input. Where do you think they go then, like,

700
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, they have the ceremony, they're all wearing their rings.

701
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: Then where do they put them? Like do they just

702
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: put them in their pants pocket? Before the.

703
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: NBA shoet? Very comfortable, but it's.

704
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: Always funny how like like they've all got the same ring,

705
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: but they will look at each other's ring. Have you

706
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: noticed that, like they were looking at the other guys?

707
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 4: They are personalized. There's actually like something within each ring

708
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: that is Yeah, it's like either their own signature or something.

709
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: They could probably put whatever they wanted, but so maybe

710
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 4: they're checking that out.

711
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, but it was very cool. I thought

712
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 5: that super fan. Now, Baty, I got one. Yeah, much deserved.

713
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 5: He's not. It's not just a show piece on the

714
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 5: side of the court. He's been there every single game,

715
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 5: every single game. I have to repeat myself for you know,

716
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: coming into year twenty five, and he's obviously been at

717
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 5: a lot of road games as well. He's he's just

718
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: a real fan. So that was pretty cool.

719
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: Well, and last year at the finals, he told me

720
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: that he did not want to talk about getting Skeets

721
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: a car until the Raptors had won the championship. The

722
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: Raptors have now won the championship. Skeets needs a car

723
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 2: and is in Toronto. You gotta head up Knob immediately.

724
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, I gotta hit up Nob. I gotta

725
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: get some wheels. Unfortunately, though, because of my visa issue,

726
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: my driver's license has expired. So it's a real mess.

727
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I technically can't even be driving, and you

728
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: just watch. I'm gonna come back to Atlanta, I'm gonna

729
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: have my work visa and I'm gonna have to take

730
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: that damn driver's license test again. If they make me

731
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: do that again, I'm just coming back. Yeah, I'll be

732
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: the pick and payoff. Go to the DMV. Any other

733
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: notes or you know, any observations from either of those

734
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 4: two games last night.

735
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I just want to say this before it's

736
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 5: before it's gone. Pascal siakam Is is the Yankumpo of

737
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 5: this year. He just reminds me so much of Janis,

738
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 5: the way those spins and the fact that he's getting

739
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: fouled if he continues to the reason why the numbers

740
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 5: are so inflated is a little bit because of the

741
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 5: fouls and how he's getting calls. And that's how Yanis

742
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 5: gets to the line is he's just longer than everybody

743
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 5: else in Pasky is just a little bit quicker, a

744
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 5: little bit quicker to the rim at times. And that's

745
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: all I could see. And so that's he must be

746
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: emulating Yanis's game and uh and hopefully og In and

747
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 5: Obi does the same, because that's the guy that the

748
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 5: Raptors are hoping takes the role of last year's Pascal siakam.

749
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, spicy max Ken was calling him last night, but

750
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 4: that was obviously a great sign for Raptors stands. You know,

751
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: you give a guy like that the huge contract extension,

752
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 4: the max deal, the four year deal, and for him

753
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 4: to have that type of game, that type of impact

754
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: in Night one. It's only one game, that's the whole

755
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: point of this, but that's Raptors stands. Gotta be pretty

756
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 4: pretty happy with that. And then you know, Van Vliet

757
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: was crazy and Larry did his thing. It was it

758
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 4: was an entertaining game. I thought both games were for

759
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 4: for opening like you said, tast it can be. We've

760
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 4: had a lot of blowouts I remember on opening nights,

761
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 4: but they were both pretty close games, one going overtime,

762
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 4: and then I thought even the Lakers Clippers was was

763
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 4: pretty close for the good chunk of the game as.

764
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 5: Well, until the Lakers offense just just just stuttered in

765
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: that fourth quarter. Seventeen points.

766
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Leo like this at the bar last night. I

767
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 4: couldn't believe it. I did a double take when she

768
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 4: said it. I asked for the Wi Fi password. It

769
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: was the Wi Fi password. I'm not kidding you. Was

770
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 4: no bud sold here, That's perfect. I couldn't believe it.

771
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: I was like, are you serious and she's like yeah.

772
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: And the actual like the it was like a craft.

773
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 4: I think the place was called craft actually, so there

774
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: are you know, a million craft beers you could pick from.

775
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: So the actual Wi Fi network was we love beer,

776
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 4: and then it was no bud sold here. I thought

777
00:32:59,120 --> 00:32:59,560

Speaker 3: here now to support them.

780
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 5: And we had a craft brew that tasted exactly like Buds.

781
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not Budweiser. That's the key. That's what's important. Okay, Well,

782
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,280

Speaker 5: Drinking heard beer, Yeah, heard last night.

785
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,040

786
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 3: it's over a meal, then, is that right?

787

793
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,320

00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: I seem to remember him appearing on some shows at least,

795
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: but it seems like he's going to be doing a lot.

815
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 4: I've been living up here in Toronto for the last

816
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: ten days or so, waiting on my US work visit

Speaker 4: crazy without or miss her laugh. I miss her touch

820
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: and I ain't good in front here. I miss her cooking.

821
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: Nora is a great chef, and I don't know how.

822

Speaker 4: I don't know how to do anything in the kitchen.

823
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 4: I have no clue. I can make a grilled cheese sandwich,

824
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 4: maybe some soup on a good day. That's it, which

825

838
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: here for you. They're gonna be without Blake Griffin until

839
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: at least November due to continued soreness in his knee

840
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 4: and his hamstring, so he didn't travel to Indiana for

841
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: tonight's season opener. For that squad, Pistons are off to

842
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 4: a rough start already. If he's not going to be

843
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: you know, back until you know, maybe at the earliest

844
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 4: early November, mid November. He's pretty important to that team.

845
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: He is that team that is That's how yeah, and

846
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: you know, the Pistons are going to be on a

847
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: razor's edge if they're going to actually make the playoffs,

848
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: if they're going to contend for it, every win is

849
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: going to matter for them. Luckily, with the Eastern Conference,

850
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily going to get super far behind the

851
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: eight ball even if you miss a couple of weeks.

852
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: Hopefully for the Pistons, Blake heals fast and they're able

853
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: to stay competitive. But hopefully for all of us that

854
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: are picking the balls to go to the playoffs or

855
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: the Hawks, he stays out, because that's good news for

856
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: that Jim Boyling Coach of the Year pick.

857
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: Too tough for Blake though, because he ended the season

858
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: and he wasn't healthy and he's had all somebody to

859
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 3: get right and he's not healthy is again now and

860
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 3: he had such an incredible season, All Star All NBA

861
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: last season but you know, he has had injuries and

862
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: knee injuries throughout his career, so hopefully he can come

863
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 3: back and still play to that level that he played

864
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: at last season, because as you guys are saying, there

865
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: there's no Blake, then the Pistons have got no chance whatsoever.

866
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: Last year was a near perfect season for Blake Griffin

867
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 5: and Detroit Pistons played seventy five games, had incredible numbers.

868
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 5: Sin seventy five games was his highest total in five seasons,

869
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 5: and so he'd expect him to come a little bit

870
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 5: back to earth, but you know, he was. He was

871
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 5: great in his minutes out there. And you know this

872
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 5: is this is terrible for the Pistons because, as we

873
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 5: saw at the end of the year, when he's not

874
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 5: on the floor, they're not a playoff team and this

875
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 5: could literally cost them their playoff spot if he's out

876
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 5: a month. I legitimately think that. And yes, it opens

877
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 5: the door at the bottom of the playoff picture for

878
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 5: the Bulls or the Hawks to jump in there. But

879
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 5: I think, I literally think that this could cost him there. Yeah,

880
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 5: it's a playoffs.

881
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 4: It's in play. I just personally sucks for me too.

882
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 4: I'm going to see the Raptor's Pistons while I'm up

883
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 4: here now, no Blake Griffin, like god, and I'm going

884
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 4: with my buddy Grist who's Pistons fan.

885
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: Well, at least you'll get the rubbit in his face

886
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: after the Raptors take the win.

887
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 4: Well that's true.

888
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

889
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 4: Oh, the Pistons always beat the Raptors.

890
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, unbeaten under the casey.

891
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so I'm a little worried about that as well.

892
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, and I think I think actually Reggie Jackson's

893
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 4: a little banged up right now and Morris and so

894
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 4: they're not off to a great start there in Detroit,

895
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 4: but they do get underway tonight when they play the Pacers.

896
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: As I said, there's eleven games on tonight. Guys, this

897
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: is really when the NBA starts. Let's be honest. This

898
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 4: is you know, you're bouncing around League pass some key

899
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 4: games on ESPN. Of these eleven games, is are one

900
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 4: you're most excited for that you'll be really zeroing in on.

901
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know who I'm looking forward to watching today. Yeah,

902
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 3: they've got They've got the Wizards. They're at home against

903
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 3: the Wizards, So I don't really think that Mavericks are

904
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 3: going to have too much trouble. It'd be good. Actually,

905
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: see pausingis too see you amount playing again, just to

906
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: see how good he is. He looked okay in a

907
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 3: couple of the preseason games. Now the big stuff starts

908
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: tonight and he gets an opportunity against a team that

909
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 3: you know you should be able to feast.

910
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: Okay, I've got two of your favorite players, and Bill

911
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 4: and Dog exactly, Yeah, Washington Dallas, and all right, that

912
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 4: one gets underwear at eight thirty pm Eastern time. What

913
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 4: about you, guys?

914
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: While I'm wearing Bulls from head to toe. I got

915
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 2: a bull sweatshirt on, a Bulls T shirt, bull socks,

916
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: bull shoes. Haven't been able to find a pair of

917
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: Bulls pants yet, but maybe maybe I will. Bulls take

918
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 2: on the Hornets today in Charlotte. I don't know if

919
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: anybody's dying to see if to get into the playoffs

920
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: at the eighth seed versus the Hornets, who are just

921
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: like a collection of Zeller's and a guy named Bacon.

922
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: But I'll be happy to see the Bulls.

923
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 2: There's optimism around the Bulls, and I'm just trying to

924
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: drink it in right now, because they could lose to

925
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: the Hornets tonight and instantly everybody's back to well the

926
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: Bulls sucks.

927
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: At least for right now. I'm excited.

928
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: I'm going to stick with a classic Eastern Conference rivalry,

929
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia seventy six Ers in the Boston Celtics. Last

930
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 5: few years, those two teams have really been going at it,

931
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 5: meeting in the postseason. But you know, a very different

932
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 5: iteration of the Celtics this year against a very different

933
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 5: iteration of the Sixers this year. I want to see

934
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 5: those big boys on the Sixers and how they they

935
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 5: should take advantage of a Celtics team that's pretty thin

936
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 5: up front now with just Ennis Canter as their starting

937
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 5: center and no Al Horford because he swapped sides crazy.

938
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 5: It's wild. Yeah, I'm looking forward seeing those giant Sixers.

939
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: I think the two National TV games are the sexiest

940
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 4: Celtic Sixers and then and then Nuggets Blazers. That makes sense, though,

941
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 4: you'll both should be great. Don't don't don't overlook the

942
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 4: uh the Knicks Spurs Morris Bowl here though what happened

943
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 4: with him in the offseason, obviously screwing the Spurs ultimately

944
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 4: looked like he was going to sign, and they had

945
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 4: to make some moves with Burton's going out, and then

946
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: mors like, no, I'm going to the Knicks for fifteen

947
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 4: million a year, So yeah, that will be that will

948
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 4: be unbelievable must watch television. Nixon Spurs, but yeah, this

949
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 4: is fun with eleven games on here, and you'll be

950
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 4: bouncing around on lead pass. I'm sure I can't wait

951
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 4: for that. Let's uh, let's start wrapping this bad boy up.

952
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 4: Last night's picking results, I was the only one that

953
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 4: took the Clippers because you guys all took the Lakers.

954
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: I was going to take the Lakers, so I have

955
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 4: to thank you guys for all backing the Lakers minus

956
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,399
Speaker 4: two and a half, and then the Clippers pulled through

957
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 4: and got the wins. That's I'm up one to oh early.

958
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 4: And why are we doing this? Will every show the

959
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 4: four of us bet on one specific NBA game using

960
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 4: that Vegas line. Now we're gonna keep track of everyone's

961
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: win loss record. At the end of the month, the

962
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 4: person in last place has to pay it off, and

963
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: we'll do that. I saw a lot of people tweeting

964
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: at us. We'll probably pay that off on likely social media,

965
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: but maybe at times it'll work in the audio format

966
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: that TVD.

967
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 5: We'll figure it out, though, Well, we bought the hype skis,

968
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 5: we bought the Lakers hype.

969
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I, like I said, I honestly was going to

970
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 4: take them in the win.

971
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 5: We're supposed to be these level headed type analyzers here.

972
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen. We're humans too. Well, we heard the Laker.

973
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 5: Lakers got shoved down in our throat all pre season,

974
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 5: even even like Dwayne Wade and everybody on the panel,

975
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 5: there are so many people picking the Lakers.

976
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: O were the Clippers over the Clippers?

977
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: What's tonight's game? What do we got? Which game we

978
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 4: go in with?

979
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 5: Well, you mentioned the second game of the national doubleheader.

980
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 5: It's Nuggets Blazers. It's a coin flip. Who are you

981
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 5: taking in that game? The lion has moved a little bit,

982
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 5: but the wind doesn't matter. You're basically picking the winner.

983
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 5: The Blazers get this stat have won their home opener

984
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 5: for eighteen straight.

985
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 4: Holy So what what is the line right now? Out

986
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 4: of curiosity? What is it? What's it said? Up?

987
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 5: It's Blazers are favored by one point five points?

988
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 4: Okay, Blazers by one point.

989
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 5: Okay, So if the Blazers win by one and you

990
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 5: took them, they don't win.

991
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why, exactly, that's why. Yeah, we got to

992
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 4: clarify that.

993
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: Man, but that but but yeah, we do have to

994
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 5: clarify that. But is that going to sway your opinion?

995
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 5: You're taking the Nuggets because they can lose by one, No.

996
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Blazers. Streak continues.

997
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 3: I'm going Nuggets, Okay, I believe in Denver this season.

998
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 3: I have to pick them in the first game of

999
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: this season.

1000
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: It's the rule. I'm going with the Blazers as well.

1001
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: The streak continues.

1002
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to get burned picking another road team

1003
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: like last night the Lakers going into Staples Center.

1004
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it now.

1005
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I will go with a Blazer as well. Woo
