Speaker 2: he's midwestern man.

40
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see if he's an owl. Okay, let's

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: get in drafting some of last night's games, because there

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: were thirteen games on twenty six teams playing a lot

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: of them, obviously their last one here before the All

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Star break. We can't get to everything, but let's do

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: the draft. What's your number one pick when it comes

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: to picking from these games?

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Last night, number one pick, Clippers beating the Warriors, a

48
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: little bit of a comeback from LA. This was a

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: four star game of basketball for me veteran teams. A

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: lot of history between the teams, a lot of history

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: between the players on the teams, a lot of accomplishments

52
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 2: out there. They're both playing pretty well. Warriors probably playing

53
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: the best they have all season. The Clippers were playing

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: their best. Then you know they're still on track right here.

55
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: But for all of the MVPs out there, the finals MVPs,

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: the All Stars. Turns out, the most underrated player in

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: the league, Norm Powell was the winner here for the Clippers,

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: twenty one points. Norm Powell scored. He went five to

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: seven for three, but that's kind of underselling it because

60
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: he went four for four from three in the fourth quarter,

61
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: all in the last seven minutes of this game, and

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: three of them came in the last five minutes, all

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: of them from the corners, two of them from the left,

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: one of them from the right. I'd also give a

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: nice tip of the coffee cap to a mere coffee

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Paul George had a great game, but he filed out

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: late in this one, so a mere coffee steps in,

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: made a couple of huge plays, splashed a three with

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: a minute thirty left to put the Clippers up by seven.

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: Also grabbed the offensive rebound after Transman tipped one out

71
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: underneath the basket. So a really fun game, a cool

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: comeback from the Clippers, and it was just big shots,

73
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Steph

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Curry completely locked in right now forty one last night

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: when nine of nineteen from three nine of nineteen, think.

76
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: No one even like blinks anymore to see that, which

77
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: is insane.

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: I nineteen three point attempts. That's awesome. He's made thirty

79
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: six threes in his last four games nine, seven, nine,

80
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: and eleven, and he's the first player in NBA history

81
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: to make seven or more threes in four straight games.

82
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: You thought Steph Curry had set every three point record

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: that already exists, but even he's finding new ones. This

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: was just a fun game. And to see a couple

85
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: of teams that have history between each other playing a

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: big game, really going for it the last game before

87
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: the All Star break.

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: This was awesome and Steph Curry hit a three before

89
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the game, which we'll show you later when we get

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: to tweet of the night hitting the one hundred foot

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: tunnel shot. My only other note from this game Klay

92
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: Thompson massive brain fart felling with like yes, forty seconds

93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: to go? No for yeah, I believe it was like

94
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: thirty five forty seconds to go when the when the

95
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: Warriors were only down three, Yes, and he just fouls

96
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: the ball handler like obviously like eighty feet awa from

97
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: the room.

98
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: It was Westbrook. Hegot Westbrook, That's right. Westbrook wentz to

99
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: the line, hit a couple of free throws. They went

100
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: up five, and then unfortunately it was also Klay Thompson

101
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: who missed the box out on a mere coffee and

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: Terrence Mann underneath the hoof that gave the Clippers a

103
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: chance to extend the possession on the end. Clay has

104
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: not been closing games no for the Warriors recently. He

105
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: got a chance in this one, and it wasn't a

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: shooting that let him down. It was the other stuff,

107
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: which you don't expect from a vet dude.

108
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: And later in the show, look at me teasing a

109
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: head to everything. We'll talk about the story from yesterday

110
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Lebron James to the Warriors question mark. We'll get into

111
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: that in is this News, But yeah, good win from

112
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: the Clips. Norman Powell, man, you know, obviously, was one

113
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: of the best six Man of the year last year.

114
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: He struggled a bit with scoring at the start of

115
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: this year, but I feel like he's getting it going here.

116
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: He's got the crazy stitches there in the middle of

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the forehead.

118
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, he was.

119
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: He was the best player at times, sort of down

120
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: the stretcher for both teams, which was with loaded rosters.

121
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: The dude is money from three, particularly from the corners.

122
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: But he's shooting forty five percent overall. And like you're saying,

123
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: last year he finished fourth and six Man of the Year,

124
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: voting seventeen per game the year prior to that, twenty

125
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: one per game for the Clippers, Like he can score

126
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: twenty points per game. But they've upgraded their talent. You know,

127
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: it's not Batoum and Covington that he's picking up the

128
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: slack for. It's James Harden and Paul George and Kawhi

129
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: Leonard as well. So they don't necessarily need twenty from

130
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: Norm Powell every single night. But he can go for

131
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: twenty any night, and if he's open from the corner,

132
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: you should just count it.

133
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I will take with my first pick to keep this

134
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: move in here. Spicy p scoring twenty three against his

135
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: former team as the Pacers went up to Toronto beat

136
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: the Raptors one twenty seven five electric game. This I

137
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: believe was the Raptors sort of Super Bowl or Game

138
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: seven of the NBA Finals, because that's the type of

139
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: season it's been. But the obviously warm ovation they gave

140
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: to Siakam before the game with the video tributes. We

141
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: had an entire section there in the lower bowl where

142
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: it felt like everybody was wearing a Siakam jersey. It

143
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: looked incredible. He said, you see how they did that? Yeah,

144
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: they gave just gave some out r Yeah.

145
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: So yeah, that section apparently like eight years ago, Section

146
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: one nineteen necessary for the Raptors, was the first time

147
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam had ever seen somebody wearing his jersey. So

148
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: everybody in Section one nineteen got a free Siakam jersey

149
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: last night because they're left over at the team store.

150
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. True, true.

151
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: This is a better way to get rid of him

152
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: than you know, charging forty dollars for him because honestly,

153
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: people aren't buying the gold Siakam jersey. Not that many

154
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,119
Speaker 2: people are buying that one. But it was very cool.

155
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: I thought, well, write this off. Who cares if we

156
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: don't sell a couple of thousand dollars of merch. This

157
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: was a special moment for and it looked.

158
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Cooler than like everybody in the same jersey, like the

159
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: same like be it red or white or gold or whatever.

160
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: It looked neat that they were all different Siakam jerseys.

161
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, then we had a great game. Scotty Barnes

162
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: bounced back from a very disappointing game prior to this.

163
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: He was awesome, flirting with a triple double, made some

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: mistakes down the stretch, missed some you know shots that

165
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: probably would have got the Raptors to win. But then

166
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: when we have Siakam hitting the one that clinched it.

167
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he just went at RJ Barrett. RJ Barrett

168
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: was like he thought a pick was coming, which the

169
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Pacers were starting to bring, and RJ turned his head.

170
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Siaka Man's got a quick first step and he just

171
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: sort of attacked the rim, kissed it off the glass

172
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: and that was the difference maker. And then you know,

173
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: all this said, r J. Barrett had a chance because

174
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Pearl kept grabbing rebounds to give the Raptors some life,

175
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: though they couldn't hit a three off any of them anyway, RJ.

176
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: Barrett sort of one on one. Ben Shephard of the

177
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Pacers stayed down, moved his feet, just would not let RJ,

178
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: which you know he wanted to get to the rim

179
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and try and lay it in, just stand in front

180
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: of him, forced him into like sort of like a

181
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: little fadeaway jumper there in the paint. It missed. He

182
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: was frustrated RJ. But good defense from Ben Shepherd. And again,

183
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, I obviously watched this one. It was the Raptors,

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it was Siakam coming home, but it was it was

185
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: fun and again to me, this was like the loudest

186
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the crowd has been in a while in Toronto, and

187
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I think might be the loudest game for the rest

188
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: of the year because you know, looking after the All

189
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: Star break, they're not going to be doing a whole lot.

190
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: But thoughts on Siakam and how the Pacers played and

191
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: then pulling this out.

192
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: I thought that for Pascal Siakam Tribute night. To see

193
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: him knock down a couple of sloppy baskets in the

194
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter was just perfectly fitting. Like he did that

195
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: for the Raptors so many times shots that you're like, oh,

196
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: that is ugly and it somehow goes in. That was great.

197
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: Then I thought you also saw why RJ Barrett didn't

198
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: close games for the next He was basically on the

199
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: bench for most fourth quarters for Tom Thibodeau. Just not

200
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: great defensive awareness from RJ. There's that play where he

201
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: doubles Siakam in the off of Halliburton on the top

202
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: and Halliburton has enough time they like looks around, dribbles

203
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 2: once knocks down to three and runs back yelling me

204
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: me he doubled off me.

205
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: It's weird.

206
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: That was a brain fart from RJ. And then like

207
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: you're saying, he just looked the other way and Siakam

208
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: went right to the hoop for a basket and then

209
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: had no plan really on his drive there. At the

210
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: end of the game, he got locked down by Ben Sheppard,

211
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: who just looks like an actor version of Jeremy Lamb

212
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: to me, like, we got a handsome guy to play

213
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: Jeremy Lamb.

214
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Point. I think, like, look, these are gonna be what

215
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: you are gonna see from a lot of Raptors games

216
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: from the rest of the year. Losses, hopefully close and

217
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: hopefully Scottie Barnes continuing to grow and like in this

218
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: game again some bad turnovers late filled up the box score.

219
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: He had way more energy, which was lacking in that

220
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: Spurs loss where everyone's like this, are you okay, what's

221
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: going on?

222
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Walked off the court?

223
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So that at least is a positive, and

224
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to just like he's always having to

225
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: find the balance as the lead guy now on this

226
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: team of like hey, get us a bucket or you know,

227
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: set guys up, and that's like you gotta like the

228
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: only superstars are really a master that he's super young

229
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get reps here. Hopefully it pays off

230
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: down the line, is all I'm saying. Because there's not

231
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of victories.

232
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: It's there's not.

233
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Going to be And man, that was the other part

234
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: in watching this game. I'm like, God, damn it, we

235
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: couldn't have got Isaiah Jackson in the deal or a

236
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Ben Shephard. You know, Okay, I understand not getting Matherin. Obviously,

237
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: you're not getting to Alibert, you're not getting the top

238
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: of the top placers players. But I thought you know

239
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: some of those. You know, Nemhart obviously comes to mind.

240
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: So good on Indiana for saying an we're not giving

241
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: you any of those, and they didn't.

242
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't. But I thought you wanted the Raptors

243
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: to lose.

244
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I do this year, but I want young talent.

245
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: I want I want Nehart, I want Hell. I'm talking

246
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: myself into Isaiah Jackson man undersize big. I want something.

247
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: But yeah, fun game, so let's keep going.

248
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: Your next pick here, Donovan Mitchell. He beat the Bulls again.

249
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Unfortunately last night accidentally called him Donovan Miller on yesterday's show.

250
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 2: That's cause Donovan Mitchell is a Bulls killer, so I'm

251
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: gonna call him Donovan Miller. From thirty points, six boards,

252
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: seven assists, his scoring average actually went down last night again.

253
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: Since joining the Calves in the twenty two to twenty

254
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: three season, Mitchell is averaging thirty five, seven and six

255
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: against Chicago. Goosed a little bit from the seventy one

256
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: point game right for sure, The fraudulent seventy one point

257
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: game should only been fifty eight. Go check the last

258
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: two minute report. Bulls did a good job in the

259
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: first half, held in the nine, and that he completely

260
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: exploded in the second half, just throwing himself at the rim,

261
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: went ten for ten from the free throw line. But

262
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: it was actually Darius Garland to me, who had the

263
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: biggest shot in the game a minute twenty left a

264
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: tie game. He just danced on Alex Cruzo hit the

265
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: step back three, looking really really shifty out there. Kobe

266
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: White came back and answered with the three of his

267
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: own on the other side. But then the Calves were

268
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: gifted and away from the ball foul which should have

269
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: been on Donovan Mitchell. You could see him push off

270
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: on Alex Caruso, kind of took some momentum away from

271
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: the Bulls. But that guy's the A side star and

272
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: the Bulls are absolutely B sides. So not surprising to

273
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: see the Calves beat the Bulls. They've been on quite

274
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: a run here, but this was a good game. Donovan

275
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: Mitchell afterwards said it was a playoff like game, so

276
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: Balls made the playoffs in my mind, and it was

277
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: kind of a coming out party nationally for Kobe White,

278
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: I thought thirty two points, four assists, five threes. He

279
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: had thirteen in the fourth quarter, even had Doris Burke

280
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: bicking him up for MIPC, and he should be at

281
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 2: the top of the list, which is the first thing

282
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 2: I've heard on a national broadcast talking about Kobe Whiten

283
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: where he ranks there. But good to see him get

284
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: some crunch time reps. Unfortunately, he missed Vucevic on a

285
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: roll driving to the hoop. Just chucked it too hard,

286
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: he thought. Butch was rolling for three, but he was

287
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: bad last night, so he was not rolling for three.

288
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: Just went right off his hands. And then he barely

289
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: missed the game, tying three at the end. But a

290
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: really good switching contest from Evan Mobley. That's a tough

291
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: shot from twenty six feet over a seven foot sure.

292
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: So, yes, the Cavs, or at least Donovan Mitchell continue

293
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: to have the bulls number.

294
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's it.

295
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: You know, unlikely, but you know, maybe your bulls come

296
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: in through the play in. Of course, they would have

297
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: to get up there a little bit more to be

298
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: probably the seventh seed out of the play in tournament

299
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: to take on the Calves. I mean, the Celtics are

300
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: just continuing to put distance between you know them, at

301
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: the top of the Eastern Conference and the rest of

302
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: the teams, despite obviously the Calves though winning again last night.

303
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, a two to seven potential potential Calves Bulls

304
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: matchup probably unlikely.

305
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: That could be a gentlemanly sweep. I would have to

306
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: imagine the Bolls will take one. Bade. George Niang was

307
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: killing me last night. He only had eleven points, but

308
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: like he was scoring off of drives. Like I've said,

309
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: Julius Randalls my least favorite guy to watch. Cook your

310
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: favorite team. But Niang is up like my friend Burf.

311
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 2: Like my friend Burf is suddenly a good three point

312
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: shooter and can drive to the hoop turn him off.

313
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: Luckily you followed out.

314
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I cannot now not hear the names George Niang and

315
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: not think of a potato because someone said he has

316
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: the shape of a potato, and it's like, that's all

317
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: I think about, cooked man, because the guy's still a

318
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: bucket at times. All Right, my next pick here in

319
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: picking from all these games, I will go with Bam

320
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: going for twenty three points fourteen boards as the Heat

321
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: got the one nine, one four victory over the seventy

322
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: six ers. It was the Heat's second straight victory their

323
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: fourth and five games. You know, Bam said after this,

324
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: you always want to go into the All Star Break

325
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: on a good note. To get two signature wins like that,

326
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: it shows that if we believe we can do it,

327
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: we can get stuff done. So they obviously they beat

328
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks and then now they beat the seventy six ers.

329
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: So two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference,

330
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: seventy six ers missing and beat of course, but it

331
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: was close. Seventy six Ers got it to within three

332
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: points in the final minute, but the Heat survived thanks

333
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: to offensive rebounds. They made their final three baskets basically

334
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: on second chance points. High Smith got one with like

335
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, about a minute left, which ended up being

336
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Kelly Oubray Junior's sixth foul, so he was gone on that,

337
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, double double punch to the gut on that

338
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: offensive rebound. Then thirty five seconds left, Hawkes Junior, getting

339
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: ready for the dunk contest, threw down one off the miss,

340
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: screaming in baseline it was off at duncan. Robinson missed

341
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: corner three so that was a big play. And then

342
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: not long after Heat are holding on their up three

343
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero decides to take a jumper with like nine

344
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: seconds ten seconds left on the shot clock, and again

345
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: this was like sort of like sort of final possession

346
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: Heat territory here there was still a little bit more

347
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: time than the shot clock, but he should have really

348
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: let it go down more. It wasn't even a good shot.

349
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: It was like contested. He was sort of like off balance.

350
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: He misses, but Bam bails out the Heat with a

351
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: big offensive rebound. Brutal job by kJ Martin on the

352
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it a box out

353
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: because he's doing the thing where he's looking away from

354
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: the ball from the rim, and if you're gonna do that,

355
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: you at least gotta make contact with your guy that

356
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to again box out by faceguards Like, he

357
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: didn't even do that, and Bam just like Bam just

358
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: saw the ball because kJ didn't know where was going,

359
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: so he was looking at the ball. Yeah, he just

360
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: went around grabbed it. He gets fouled, and that was

361
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: sort of the difference. This tweet from Tim Reynolds though

362
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Heat through fifty five games last season thirty and twenty

363
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: five Heat through fifty five games this season and twenty five,

364
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: so they are getting it together here before the break,

365
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of this without most of it without

366
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler.

367
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: Most of it without Jimmy Butler, and obviously the seventy

368
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: six ers don't have Joel Embiid, which they are not

369
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: nearly the same team. They gotta play fast, they gotta

370
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: shoot as many threes as possible. They only made ten

371
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: out of thirty five last night. So it's gonna be

372
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: tough for Philly to win if they're not shooting well,

373
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: especially bringing in Buddy Heel who had a great game

374
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: five for eleven, but that means everybody else went what

375
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: five for twenty four? That's just a hair over twenty percent.

376
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna cut it, especially if you're not doing

377
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: the little things like kJ Martin's a smaller guy. Having

378
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: to stick Bam on the box out is tough. But

379
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: just a great play by Bam to go over the

380
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: top because he saw it.

381
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, incredible. And you know, I was thinking about this

382
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: with the Heat because we got some like pushback yesterday.

383
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: We were talking about teams that deserve more love and

384
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: we talked maybe the Wolves are one of those teams.

385
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: But then we get into the whole thing like some

386
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: of these teams be at the Wolves, be at the Thunder,

387
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: like they're gonna have to prove they can do it

388
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: in the postseason. I don't think that's a hot take, right,

389
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: but you get people say, aw, what are you doing?

390
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know, it's funny because the

391
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: opposite happens with the Heat, where they might have a

392
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: bad record, they might sort of limp into a postseason

393
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: or a play and whatever. But we do the whole like, well,

394
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: they could beat anybody totally, they might go to the

395
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: finals again. And it's like people like, oh, come on,

396
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: stop it, that's not gonna happen. To get why not?

397
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: Why not?

398
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: They obviously are well coached, They obviously have been through

399
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: the Ringer. They obviously have guys that can step up

400
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: left and right. And suddenly it's killer Martin camp miss

401
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: last year. Why won't it be Duncan Robinson? Why want

402
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: to be whoever? You have to do it?

403
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: I mean you do.

404
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: You have to give them more respect than you would

405
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: give a normal lower seeded playoff team. You just have

406
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: to at this point.

407
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: Well, yes, exactly right. They did it last year, and

408
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: they have maybe a psychological advantage over teams like the

409
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: Celtics and the Bucks, who they could easily run into

410
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: right in the first round, and who they have both

411
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: been bounced by the Heat in the first round kind

412
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: of unexpectedly. So, uh yeah, that's everybody talks about. Oh,

413
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: you never want to see this team or that team

414
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. It's actually the heat that nobody else

415
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: to see. You don't want to see him in the

416
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: play in You don't want to see him in the

417
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: play offs either. But what they're a half game behind

418
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 2: Indiana right now, and two and a half behind Philadelphia

419
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: right If EMBID doesn't come back at full strength quickly

420
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: after the All Star break, it's reasonable that Miami gets

421
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: out of the bottom four in the Eastern Conference and

422
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: makes it into the top six.

423
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, no, for sure. All right, let's do

424
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: one more round of drafting. Here, lots on the board.

425
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: Where are you going? Yeah?

426
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: Big game from Zion Williamson beaten the Wizards last night.

427
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: Kind of a funny math game though. The Wizards took

428
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: forty five threes and made twenty one of them. That's

429
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: incredibly long. Pelicans took thirty two only made ten threes.

430
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: But the key is that the Pelicans shot seventy percent

431
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: from two point range seventy four points in the paint.

432
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: A lot of it was Zion. He tied a season

433
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: high with thirty six points. He made fifteen shots, twelve

434
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: of them were layups and three of them were dunks.

435
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

436
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 2: I will say I did some of my own classification

437
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 2: because if I look in the box score play by

438
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: play and I see jumper from four feet, I'm counting

439
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: that one as the lay up there. I think Zion's

440
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: driving in and pulling up for a four foot jumper.

441
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: But uh, he had to dominate this game. I was

442
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: just checking the listed weights. You know, Zion two eighty five,

443
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 2: biggest guys on the on the Wizards who played last night,

444
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley, Rashaun Holmes, they're listed at two thirty five.

445
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

446
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: And they weren't even guarding Zion all that moch He

447
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: was in the high post for a lot of this.

448
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: It was Denny Abdiya guarding him, and as soon as

449
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: Zion got his shoulder by Abdia was over. It was

450
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: an easy layup. But on the other side, Zion had

451
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 2: to guard Denny Abdya, and he couldn't guard him either.

452
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: A career high forty three for Abdya. I tuned into

453
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, I saw Denny Abdiya hit a three,

454
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: and they said he's got forty one points, and I

455
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: literally didn't believe it. I was like refreshing the box score.

456
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: That seemed unbelievable to me. His previous career high twenty

457
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: five points. But he did it all last night with

458
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: Zion on him. Six threes, some of them were catching shoot,

459
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: some of them were deep, some of them were off

460
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 2: the dribble. He was attacking in transition. He had dribbled

461
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: drives and dunks.

462
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: In the half court.

463
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: He finished with size over a guy like CJ. McCollum,

464
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: wh who would catch him on a switch. It was really,

465
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: really impressive, and it's very funny to see like him and

466
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: Zion not being able to guard each other. But a

467
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: really solid season for Danny Avdya. Disappointing for the Wizards

468
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: this year, but he's a bright spot. Career highs in points, rebounds,

469
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: and assists, shooting fifty two percent from the field and

470
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: forty percent from three. Solid.

471
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, here's some fun trivia question for you from Statitudes.

472
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Of course, Avdya first Wizard to record a forty point

473
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: fifteen rebound game since do you know who did you see?

474
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: I did see it. It's crazy Moses Malone.

475
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: Most Malone in nineteen eighty seven when they were the

476
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: Washington Bullets. So think about this.

477
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: That's cool.

478
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: Danny Avdya is actually the first Washington Wizard to ever

479
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: have a forty point fifteen rebound game. That's crazy.

480
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: Danny Avidya wasn't born till two thousand and one. That's amazing.

481
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: That is a wild dingus. Never did it, right, Ron

482
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 2: Jamison never did it.

483
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know, forty fifteen, no joke.

484
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: He was playing great.

485
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a monster game. And yeah, Pelicans still

486
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: got it done. Had one more note? Oh yeah, lost

487
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: for my Wizards. You know, Piston's still struggling, but you

488
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to pick it from my last game.

489
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: But the Hornets are hot right now, baby, you might

490
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: be pulling away in the nutdust Bowl standings. The Hornets

491
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: have won three straight games. I heard Darko Ryakovic is

492
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: gonna throw them a pizza party because they're on fire

493
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: and they're playing a little bit of defense. And these

494
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: new guys that have come in, you know, they're playing

495
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: with some life. So congratulations to you. You're not you're

496
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: not out of the wouldwork yet.

497
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: But oh no, no, no, but still you can't really

498
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: count on a team that lost ten straight and then

499
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: won three straight. I know, but I saw tweets going

500
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: around last night that the Hornets are now three and

501
00:21:54,840 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 2: oh in the Grant Williams era, that annoying guy on

502
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: the Grant Williams era, the tray man, it was opened

503
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: last night.

504
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: He's been playing really well for them.

505
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing well. My guy Mechitch is playing well,

506
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: thirteen and five off the bench last night. But I

507
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: mostly think this is just a mad loss for the Hawks.

508
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, soriety are so surprised.

509
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: Crazy.

510
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well, my final pick again, there's so much

511
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: to pick from, so apologies that we don't get to

512
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: your team or your player that had a good game,

513
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: But I'm taking the Suns, shaking off Booker's early ejection

514
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: to roll pass tass Mellus's pistons one sixteen, one hundred

515
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: quickly about the game, Bookers ejected like five and a

516
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: half minutes into this game picks up two quick technicals.

517
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: There were fifty one fouls called in this game. The

518
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: rest were on edge, yes, all games indeed, because maybe

519
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: for a fair reason, pregame altercation between the Pistons Isaiah

520
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: Stewart and the Suns drew you Banks. That led to

521
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: an arrest for assault on Stuart. Now, this is what

522
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: we know from this. At some point around like four

523
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: point thirty four forty five, you know, during game day

524
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: of course in Phoenix, Stuart got into it with you Banks,

525
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: you know, chest to chest, I guess by reports, and

526
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: then punched them in the footprint center there in like

527
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: the parking lot, in the tunnel, wherever you want to

528
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: call it. So, the Phoenix Police Department announced that Stuart

529
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: was arrested for assault, issued a citation before being released.

530
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: It's really it's unclear what actually sparked this incident. The altercation.

531
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: They did have some like verbal sparring back in a

532
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: game in November where they arguing over a parking spot.

533
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: You know, is it a classic Hey, a bump of

534
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: a shoulder like I thought you were moving, I'm moving.

535
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: We don't really know. The NBA is expected to receive

536
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: the footage they're going to review it. Everybody drops the

537
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: whole investigations to be made. I'm guessing if the cops

538
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: are involved and he's punched them in the damn face

539
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: that he will at least be suspended. Stuart will be.

540
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, just just weird. And it's funny that it

541
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: did bleed into how the game was sort of officiated

542
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: because it was like, you know, emotions are high, so

543
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: we gotta like try and nip everything in the blood.

544
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: And that's why Booker got tossed really quick for arguing

545
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: and all that, and that's why a lot of fellas

546
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: were cold, I think.

547
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean pretty strange. It hearkens back to

548
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: the days of Charles Oakley punching guys in pregame for

549
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: owing him money from gambling. Apparently, none of that is

550
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: what they said. You know, Drew Banks said it was

551
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 2: all about basketball stuff. I guess they were getting into

552
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: it the first time when they both put up a

553
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: whopping eight points against each other. Yeah, in November. But

554
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: Isaiah Stuart seems to be a tough guy, seems to

555
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a temper boy. Everybody knows

556
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: him most from going after Lebron on the court, so

557
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: these are his two biggest NBA moments. Really, that's not

558
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: a great look, which is why, like you're saying, he

559
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: will probably end up getting suspended and probably go through

560
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: like anger management classes.

561
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Or something I would imagine, Yeah for sure. Yeah, back

562
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: it was B Stuart B Stu B Stuart chasing I

563
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: guess after Lebron in twenty twenty one. Yeah, or he

564
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: like remember it, like calmed down for a second and

565
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: then he like broke three Yeah, broke free trying to

566
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: get to them. So yeah, just a just a weird

567
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: incident here, and we'll wait to learn more after the

568
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: NBA makes a decision on this. But in the end,

569
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: Son took care of business, played right. Oh yeah, he

570
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: had a good game. Well, and he was like you know,

571
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: like six, like he was pretty solid, and I think

572
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: he seems very like shocked by it all. And you know,

573
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: maybe it happened like really quickly. We don't know. We

574
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: were a soft punch, soft punch. I I didn't catch that. Okay,

575
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: well geez, that's gonna that's gonna fire up beefs. Yeah

576
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: uh so yeah, we'll call it there again. We had

577
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: the Celtics winning by a thousand points. Last night. Some

578
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: other great games there, the Maverick's getting to win.

579
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: Match place surprize he didn't take, the Kings beating the Nuggets.

580
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: Kings beating Nuggets made so many players on the stretch

581
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: of this one that was awesome. And then my guy

582
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: sweet Peep polo thirty six and seven and went against

583
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks again.

584
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: Lots left on the table. I mean the Kings. Every time,

585
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: every time I jump on here and talk up the Kings,

586
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: they just follow it up with a stinker and I

587
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: look like a fool. So I'll just leave it.

588
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: As it is.

589
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna take a break and when we

590
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: come back, we will talk about the Lebron James to

591
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: the Warriors. Rumors don't go anywhere, all right. Final show

592
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: from the Classic Factory this week as we get ready

593
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: to head to Indianapolis for All Star weekend. Very excited

594
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: about that. But before we go, let's do a little

595
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: is this news I have what might be the most

596
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: is this newsy headline of all time from ESPN dropped

597
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: on yesterday. We didn't get to it on yesterday's show,

598
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: but we tackle it today. It reads, Warriors made bid

599
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: for Lebron James. At trade deadline, Trey Kirby, is this news?

600
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: This is the biggest news we've ever heard. Owner to

601
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: owner conversations. Joe Lakem apparently called Genie bus and said, hey,

602
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: Lebron Warriors, Nah, check with Rich Paul. Rich Paul's nine

603
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: wants to stay here. Crazy stuff. Man, This was fun

604
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: to read, just a little post trade deadline slop with

605
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: the biggest names in the NBA right now. Yeah, some

606
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: incredible moments in it as well, But I'm left after

607
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: reading it just wondering, like, why, why does this exist?

608
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: And who does it benefit most?

609
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: I think the Lakers, Okay, explain why, just because it's like.

610
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: Lebron had been sending all these signals that maybe he

611
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: wanted out at the end of the season, maybe he

612
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: was even going to be traded at the trade dadline,

613
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 2: we were talking Dave Pingalore once upon a time, remember, Yes, Yes,

614
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: So apparently the Warriors call and say, hey, is Lebron available?

615
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: The Lakers say we don't, we don't want to trade him,

616
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 2: but why don't you check with Rich Paul? And then

617
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: Rich Paul says, no, Lebron wants to stay a Laker.

618
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: That looks good for the Lakers. That he would turn

619
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: down theoretically going to play with Steph Curry in Golden State.

620
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 2: Who knows what the alleged package would be. I guess

621
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: it benefits Lebron as well. You know, he's kind of

622
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: being courted around the league from the Warriors are mentioned,

623
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 2: he and the seventy six ers come up as well,

624
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: which is just a very funny moment. Is Lebron available? No?

625
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Is Joe available?

626
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: No?

627
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk later. But I think ultimately like

628
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: this is most favorable for the Lakers to be like, yeah,

629
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: Lebron still likes us, even though it didn't seem like

630
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: he did.

631
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: Right, and even though we don't still know what the

632
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: hell that hourglass emoji means. No, he refuses to tell us,

633
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: and he has not committed to obviously, you know, the

634
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: whole player option for next season as well. That's what

635
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: that's my takeaway from this. It's like, oh my god,

636
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: buckle up here. We're gonna go through a whole summer

637
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: of Lebron to Warriors or Lebron to somewhere else, like

638
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: during the summer of slop when this season actually ends.

639
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: Because you're right, why did this drop?

640
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: Now?

641
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: All I can come up with is one of two things.

642
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: It's a classic, like let's be honest ESPN clickbait move

643
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: where it's like, we're heading into the All Star break,

644
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: could use twenty four hours of content here, Hey, we'll

645
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: drop this basically a week after the trade deadline, Lebron

646
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: to the Warriors, question mark, and then you can run

647
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: with that on every single talk show for at least

648
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: a day, which they did yesterday.

649
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: Oh, great windhorse moment talking about this where he's like,

650
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: what if I told you that Lebron and Steph Curry

651
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: have been talking for months about playing for Steve Kerr

652
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: right at the Paris Olympics, right was an incredible wind horse.

653
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: So there's that angle, you know. But then again, like

654
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: this is coming. This isn't like a butt crack sports,

655
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, a dot com or something. This is this

656
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: is Wojan and Ramona Shelburn. And then it had the

657
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: athletic guys, you know, off also writing about it and

658
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: actually putting in the whole Bronny James factor, which we

659
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: can get to in a second. So the other thing

660
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: that's going on here is this is laying the groundwork

661
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: for eventually Lebron departing from the Lakers. I mean, you

662
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: have to at least explore the possibility. It's, you know,

663
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: sprinkling some bread crumbs. Breadcrumbs here as again as we

664
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: eventually make our way to summer, because yeah, there's the

665
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Draymond Green connection. They're gonna be likely playing in the

666
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: Paris Olympics and the brotherhood. Lebron has talked before about

667
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: wanting to play with Steph like that's sort of on

668
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: his wish list. So there's that the Warriors could. They

669
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: could obviously in moving off of Chris Paul's non guaranteed contract,

670
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson is unrestricted. Maybe you trade Wiggins. I even

671
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: think if you did all that, you still don't have

672
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: max money for Lebron, So maybe you're convincing him to

673
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: take less than max. And then does that include this

674
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: whole Bronni James thing, which again The Athletic wrote a

675
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: lot more about this idea that like he's like being

676
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: he's like almost a chip in all of this, right, Like,

677
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: is someone gonna draft him? He doesn't seem to. He

678
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be a first round pick material if

679
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: you've seen him in the USC right now. But will

680
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: anyone care if it gets Lebron James to your team,

681
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: And is that really what Lebron all he wants as

682
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna go into his fortieighth year season at age season,

683
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: so it's all I mean, I don't know, I want

684
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: to like brush this off and go get out of here.

685
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: Lebron's jumped ship three times and it all comes in

686
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: free agency exactly, and he could and he could, you know,

687
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: be a free agent if he doesn't pick up the

688
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: fifty one point four million dollar player option.

689
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: And there's always bread crumbs ahead of this is and

690
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: these definitely feel like bread crumbs. And also, I mean

691
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: maybe it's a little bit more of a ploy from

692
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 2: Lebron trying to put pressure on the front office because

693
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: Sam Amick, Anthony Slater, and Joe ban Bouja got together

694
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: and wrote up for The Athletic and they talk so

695
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: much about what the Lakers plans are going forward with

696
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: regards to Lebron, like they want Lebron to retire a Laker,

697
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: is what the Athletic reports. And the Lakers plan on

698
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: chasing Trey Young, Donovan Mitchell, and Kyrie Irving once again,

699
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: which you know, if Lebron is flirting with other teams

700
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: and showing that he's still desired from other championship contenders.

701
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: It makes the Lakers feel even more pressure to make

702
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: some sort of a move to improve their front office.

703
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: And then, yeah, maybe he's doing a little agent work

704
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: for his try to help his draft stock by saying

705
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm playing wherever he plays, and he has kind of

706
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: struggled here in his season with USC, so maybe his

707
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: spot on the draft boards is not as high up

708
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: as it once was. Yeah, I don't know, but it

709
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: definitely feels like, I don't know. It felt like Lebron

710
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: would retire a Laker when he went to LA, and

711
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: now I don't think it's a guarantee.

712
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a guarantee. He's all his primary

713
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: objective is always winning. He's again not afraid to move

714
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: if that if he believes it helps his chances to

715
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: win another title. He is chasing, you know, the ghost

716
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: of Jordan, however you want to call it. So, yeah,

717
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: you're right. I think this is a part of it,

718
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: especially when you read the Athletic article that the Lakers

719
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: will have three first round picks, they'll have four pick swaps,

720
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: they'll have multiple second round picks to be aggressive for

721
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: a star if that is really what Lebron wants. It's

722
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: so funny Lebron is like, I mean, he's always he's

723
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: almost always fighting his own front office, right because of

724
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: because of his timeline. But you could really, you know,

725
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: pooch a franchise if it doesn't work, and you know,

726
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: not that it blew up everything. But we saw when

727
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: Lebron the GM took over and wanted Westbrook and it

728
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: was like, no, that was wrong. But yeah, be it Trey,

729
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: be it Donovan, Mitchell, Kyrie. Those names are linked for sure.

730
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: So will Lebron be like, I need one of those

731
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: star players to go with me and ad or if not,

732
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: Peace and I'm gonna go and try and team up

733
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: with you know, either staff or someone else to help

734
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: my chances.

735
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we shall see. I guess it will depend

736
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: on what happens with the Lakers in the playoffs. You know,

737
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: if they go to the conference finals again, maybe that

738
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: changes his mind. You know, they're a final four team,

739
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: even though they didn't actually get close to winning the

740
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: championship this year. You can at least talk yourself into it.

741
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: But there's also stuff in there, and I guess it

742
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 2: was the ESPN report saying lebron was happy with Dejonte

743
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Murray or Zach Levine. It feels like they're gonna need

744
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: another guy at some point, unless Spencer Didn'tity is apparently

745
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: the best player in Lakers history. We shall see, but

746
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: it feels like it's gonna be a dramatic summer, especially

747
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: like Bronni coming into the draft. Lebron on looking for

748
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: a new deal, with something that ESPN reported as well,

749
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: he might turn down the fifty million dollar option he

750
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: has next year and try and sign like a three

751
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: year deal that would be for I don't know one

752
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: or something like something, some kind of crazy number. But

753
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: that will happen. Obviously, the Lakers get a lot more

754
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 2: assets to try and trade somebody. And you've even heard

755
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: reports from Atlanta this week that maybe it's Dejonte Murray

756
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: they end up keeping and they're looking to move Trey Young.

757
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: So once all these guys get together for tam Usa, mine,

758
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: I was gonna go insane.

759
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I was thinking that as well. When that's exactly

760
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: right in Vegas and then whoever the team is called,

761
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: man Harris, here we go again with you know, the

762
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: Big three sort of forming that way in Miami because

763
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: of all talking together during the Olympics. That's that's what happened.

764
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: The Darryl moriy angle of all this. To go back

765
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: to it very funny. Within the ESPN article quote after

766
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: seeing Lebron's cryptic social social media post of an hour

767
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: glass a week before the trade deadline, seventy six Ers

768
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: president of basketball operations Daryl Murray called Polinka to probe

769
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: on a Lebron trade and was immediately told that James

770
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: wasn't available. In fact, Polinka responded by asking Maury if

771
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid was available, Uh, people, are you know? And

772
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: then there was something about he also tried to call

773
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: the Suns Maury, did hey, any of those big three

774
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: you got.

775
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 2: Over there available?

776
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: You guys are struggling. So people they knock Maury for this,

777
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: but do you have an opinion, like do you laugh

778
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: at this or do you like look at it, like, yeah,

779
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 1: that's his job. I mean he should be calling. Maybe

780
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: as silly as it sounds, but why wouldn't you.

781
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you should call, And I mean maybe

782
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: it's maybe it's all jokes, you know Lebron there, yeah, no, Joelle, No,

783
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: they're just having fun. You know, they gotta talk on

784
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: the phone all the time.

785
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: Don't get fed, right, and that the same true yeah

786
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: or shoot or shoot or or fuck it? Why not?

787
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: Is what Maury lives by. But that was very funny

788
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: within the article. All Right, we'll be talking, I'm sure

789
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot more about Lebron and the Warriors, especially when

790
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: they play in a nine to ten matchup in the

791
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: playing game and then they hug after the game and

792
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: you see some wisp.

793
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Get ready shirt over mouth talk.

794
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: Next one from the Athletic Clipper sent PJ. Tucker and

795
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: Bones Highland home from the road trip versus the Warriors.

796
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: So you know before this game last night, both players

797
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: are expected to rejoin the team after the All Star break.

798
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: But is this news with PJ Tucker and Bones Highland

799
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: just being sent home for the breaker.

800
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: I guess it's news, but it's not really news because

801
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: I'm completely forgotten about Bones Highland and PJ Tucker just

802
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: hasn't really been PJ Tucker since about the twenty one finals.

803
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: You know, he was great for the Bucks during that

804
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: playoff run, was instrumental in at least making it tough

805
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant in that Nets series. But he doesn't

806
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: give you much offensively, like he at one point, I

807
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: remember he went like a month without scoring, and that

808
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: was a couple of seasons ago in his prime, if

809
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 2: you will. Also, he could easily go to a new

810
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: team if he decides to take a buy out, but

811
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: he's got a eleven million dollar contract for next season

812
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 2: that he doesn't want to give up, which you know,

813
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: fair enough, he signed the contract. Make your eleven million dollars.

814
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: He apparently takes a lot of money to ship his

815
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 2: shoes from place to place, and he had two hundred

816
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: and fifty pairs that they were trying to figure out

817
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: what to do with them. But this is kind of

818
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 2: like the downside of player empowerment. James Harden requested a trade.

819
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: He wanted to be gone from Philadelphia, and to make

820
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: all of the money work, they had to include PJ. Tucker.

821
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: So now he's sent to La where he's not going

822
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: to see the court because they got such a deep

823
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 2: team right there. So one player was empowered and the

824
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: other guy was just kind of along for the ride

825
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 2: that he didn't want to be a part of.

826
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Clippers, the Clippers and Tucker had been talking

827
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: for like apparently months about you know, maybe trading him

828
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: at the deadline, and obviously that didn't come to fruition,

829
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: and so it's now like, okay, well I'm still here.

830
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: Now what he wants to play, He wants to be

831
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: re entered into the rotation. But there's an issue here.

832
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: The Clippers have the NBA's best record since December first.

833
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: They're No.

834
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: Twenty eight and seven after the win last night. Over

835
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: that span. During that stretch, Bones Highland played seven games

836
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: sparingly none since January thirty first, and Tucker hasn't played

837
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: in the game and since since November twenty seventh. So

838
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: it's not like we like, they're missing these guys. I'm sorry,

839
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: they're not. Yeah, that's why this is maybe not newsworthy.

840
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, two guys that are not even playing

841
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: on maybe on one of the best teams right now

842
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: in the league, Like who cares? But just weird, like weird.

843
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: The just go get out of here, you know, just

844
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: go reset and we'll see him maybe after the All

845
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: Star break. That's fascinating to me. What happens when they

846
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: all come back, does Luke in mashot Are they in

847
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: better spirits? Because now they know their situation and can

848
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: like try and lock in for a potential like postseason run.

849
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: We'll see. But a little weird just to be sent

850
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: home bone two guys. Yeah you don't see the two guys.

851
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Bones Island. I don't think is that

852
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 2: big of a deal. I mean the literally, the Nuggets

853
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: shipped him out so that they could have soerienity in

854
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: their locker room, and they have not missed him since,

855
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: and he has not made an impression for the Clippers.

856
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: And who are you going to play him over? They've

857
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: got four awesome ball handlers out there.

858
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: PJ.

859
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 2: Tucker. I guess he could be mad that they brought

860
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: in Daniel Tice, right like when Mason Plumley went down

861
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: after Randall rolled into his leg, you could have went

862
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: with PJ. Tucker as the other five, you know, but

863
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: he just doesn't really bring much offensively, and this is

864
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: a team that loves their space on the floor.

865
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like, you know, pretty open. I thought

866
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: in this Athletic article, PJ. Tucker was like talking about, like,

867
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, I can't just come in and like play

868
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: in the postseason, right, Like I'm like, He's like, that's

869
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: very difficult.

870
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: To do.

871
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: I've been on really good teams that have gone far

872
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but that's through reps and obviously,

873
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, familiarity with the starters and stuff like that.

874
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: He was honest. I mean, the guy wants to play.

875
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: You can't knock him for that. But at this point

876
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: of his career, they don't really have a role for him.

877
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: There's no spot right now, hence why they tried to

878
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: trade him. Didn't get anything they wanted. He's got this

879
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: weird contract, you know, which good for him, but it's weird.

880
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: Final note from that article, Kawi Leonard expected to be

881
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: in Indiana for the All Star Break. I saw them

882
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: slip that in.

883
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: There.

884
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: No news yet if whether he's not going to play

885
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: the game, whether we need an injury replacement. So he

886
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: is an in theory at least going. I'm sure he's

887
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: got like sponsorships he needs to, you know, show up to.

888
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 2: He's got to do something with Jack Harlowe at the

889
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: New Balance activation.

890
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Probably there you go, there you go.

891
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, Tyler said that like he played through it

892
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: in the previous game when they played against the timber Wolves.

893
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 2: So this one seemed like a kind of cautionary rest. Yeah.

894
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: Next headline here, also from the Athletic, Knicks filing protest

895
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: with NBA to dispute Monday's loss to the Rockets. We

896
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: had too much going on yesterday. It was Valentine's Day.

897
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: We had to ask silly Valentine's Day question. So we

898
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: overlooked this, But the Knicks decided to file Tuesday evening,

899
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: highlighting the NBA's last two minute report and game crew

900
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: chief Ed Malloy's acknowledgments that the foul call on Nicks

901
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: guard Jalen Brunson against Houston's Aaron Holiday inside the final

902
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: second was incorrectly called. So they have now filed the protest.

903
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: I think the league has up to like five days

904
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: to ultimately decide.

905
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: Is this news? Yes, it's news when a protest happened,

906
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: and I think it's like an easy way to support

907
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 2: your team. It's actually news if they win it, because

908
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 2: these protests never actually are won. The last one was

909
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: the Crazy Shack game and that was what seven early

910
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, two thousand and seven. Well, there

911
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: you go. Fred Katz mentioned over that at the Athletic

912
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: that a team must prove that officials misapply to rule.

913
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: This is more a bad call, and they don't usually

914
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: give grant protests for bad calls. You know, the Trailblazers

915
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: almost filed the protest for that Malcolm Brogden, Chauncey billups

916
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: timeout travel call against ok see, they said they were

917
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: going to do it. They didn't even do it. They

918
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: didn't follow through on it. But it's only ten k

919
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: to file a protest. That's a good way to support

920
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: your team.

921
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, And you're right, I don't think this

922
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: one will be I guess upheld. I guess is the

923
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: way to put it, just because it's it unfortunately, is

924
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: a slippery slope. It's it's a call that they got

925
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: wrong that they admitted they got wrong. But like, man,

926
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: how many times then would we see this happening? It's

927
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: more this miss application of a rule which made sense.

928
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: That the one back in O seven was Shack that

929
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: was all based around they thought he had six fouls.

930
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: They took him out of the game and they were wrong.

931
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, they went back and was like, oh damn,

932
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: he had five, like that was a scorekeeper, you know, mistake,

933
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: And so then they played the overtime later or the

934
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: final fifty seconds of overtime. Shack wasn't even there because

935
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: he had been traded, So that was weird as it is.

936
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: Nobody scored. It was a complete waste of time. But

937
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to be seeing Nick rockets

938
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 1: five minutes of overtime.

939
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: I hope they do.

940
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope he do.

941
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: Be fun, we have another game on the schedule. I

942
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: didn't even look.

943
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it might be a nightmare.

944
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: But I just also like, look, the NBA has gotten

945
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: in beds as every sport has with gambling. Does this

946
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: have what impact does this have on like bets and

947
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: shit like that if you open a Pandora's box with this.

948
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: So I don't think the league will change it or

949
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: make them play the game, but you're right, it's like good,

950
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: you know the Nick should do this, I guess is

951
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: a way just go through the motions and say, yeah,

952
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: we got dropped. We're letting you know for another twenty

953
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: four to forty eight hour cycle here in the news.

954
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: We didn't forget.

955
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did not forget.

956
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: And I think it was Jason Goebel made that call. Goebel, Yeah,

957
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 2: okay with Jason Goebel was the bald guy that we identify.

958
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: Oh right, because we Yeah, Ed Molloy's got to go

959
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: face the music as the crew Chierah. Yeah, he didn't

960
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: even call.

961
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: And then it was Goebel who made the call on

962
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: uh Donovan, Mitchell, Alex Caruso last night in the Bulls game.

963
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: Oh geez, I got my eye on you, Jason.

964
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up, Goebel? I hope you're not at All

965
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Star weekends or we'll be having a talk.

966
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,160

970
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: in eighty five and ninety one in and a lot.

971
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: Fred Jones, who some of you might be saying he

00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: won in two thousand and four. We got a fun

973
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: short coming about Fred Jones winning the dunk contest. You

974
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: you are with teas, I am teasing everything left and

975
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: right today. This is a fun short coming up, you know,

976
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: around nude. And then we also have Gary Payton, Mitch Richmond,

977
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: and Darnell Hillman, a star for the Indiana Pacers. In

978
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: their ab eight days, which is pretty cool. So those

979
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: are the five guys. Is this news finding out the judgment?

980
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: No? No, I mean I said, it's a little bit

981
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 2: of news. Dominique Wilkins. I feel like he judges quite often.

982
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing. I almost sat down

983
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: last night to go, all right, how many times has

984
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins been a coach or excues me a judge

985
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: for the dunk contest? I was like, that's going to

986
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: take some work because that's not going to be listed anywhere.

987
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, you would have to watch the scoring.

988
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I feel like he's done

989
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: a lot of time them.

990
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

991
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how many. But what's what's he over?

992
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: Under four and a half?

993
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,959
Speaker 2: Oh? I was I was like ten and a half? Really?

994
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe? I guess he does feel like a lot. Uh.

995
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: I thought Gary Payton and Mitch Richmond were interesting inclusions here, Okay, yeah,

996
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: just because they're not known as dunkers yep, nor are

997
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 2: they pacers. They give me tar Stansberry, Oh wow, the

998
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 2: first guy I remember in a PACER's uniform in a

999
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: dunk contest did the statue of Liberty three d three six.

1000
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great time underrated dunk What about active players,

1001
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's put Paul Georgian.

1002
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 2: Sure, Paul George, Victor Oladipa, Uh.

1003
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, right right. I do like the Darnell Hillman's that

1004
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: is very cool and uh and Fred Jones, it's very fun.

1005
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: Like you know, I get I tease the short but

1006
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: the two thousand and four Dunk Contests is one of

1007
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: the most insane dunk contests. It's a weird ending to

1008
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: a dunk contest. He was taking on Jay Rich, who

1009
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: had won the previous two. He's trying to win his

1010
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: third straight. And it's like it's just littered with like

1011
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: botched dunks and it ends so flat that it's just

1012
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: it's brutal. I mean, we we always, like a lot

1013
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: of people like always want to rip on these recent

1014
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: dunk contests. Fair some of them have been like lackluster,

1015
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: missing big names. There are some other crappy ones in

1016
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: like the early two thousands, like we always remember you know,

1017
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: Jay Rich and Vince and those, But there are some

1018
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: other ones that are like it ends with miss Dunk.

1019
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: The dunk contest has had to come back a lot

1020
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: of times. What do you think they're gonna have Reggie

1021
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: do like Reggie should be a star at All Star

1022
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: Saturday Night. I'm kind of surprised that I'll have him

1023
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: as a judge for the Dunk contest to give him

1024
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 2: a headphones, yeah, microphone and let him talk through it.

1025
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, that they've done that before, because he'll.

1026
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: Be He's gotta be a big part of the three

1027
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: point contests, whether it be the actual one or Steph

1028
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: versus Zabrina.

1029
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Man, why can't Reggie just compete against them?

1030
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 2: That would be cool.

1031
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: It could be a fun little uh like unveiling you

1032
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: rip suit, yeah and goes and gives it a go.

1033
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know.

1034
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope he's, you know, obviously celebrated. I

1035
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: would think he would be. But it's a good point

1036
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: that he's not one of the judges Gary Payton and

1037
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: Mitch Richmond. I hope we don't see Mitch Richmond will

1038
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: right All Star we could.

1039
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a great judge the Rock,

1040
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 2: you know what.

1041
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: I think Mitch Richmond's going to be a Hall of

1042
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: Fame judge.

1043
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna He's gonna get a great scores.

1044
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: Okay, let's wrap up this bad boy with tweet of

1045
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: the night.

1046
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: Tweet of the night. Wow twit.

1047
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: This one's must watch for you podcast listeners. So either

1048
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: come to YouTube or seek it out yourself. Go to

1049
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: at NBC S Warriors because this is a video where

1050
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: they wrote this is not a drill. Steph Curry full

1051
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: court tunnel shot and the clip is Steph in pregame

1052
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: from one hundred feet chucking the ball and having it

1053
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: go in on the other end and then celebrating a

1054
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: little bit and you see the fans around him going, wow,

1055
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: he hit it. That's incredible. That's an insane shot. Is

1056
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: this a Gatorade commercial? Has this been doctored?

1057
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 2: No? This is real.

1058
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: The only staff here man, what incredible angle. Whoever was

1059
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 1: doing camera work on that, give that person a raise.

1060
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: They held that like showing where he was to the

1061
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: zoom out and then going back. Does I give you

1062
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: an idea of like, holy crap? I know there's like

1063
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: there's maybe you've seen some footage of fans that actually

1064
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: had their camera going to so you see it from

1065
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: Steph's advantage point. Amazing. I think he'll pull this out

1066
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: over all Star weekend.

1067
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think he maybe in practice impressed

1068
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 2: himself so much that it's even a rarity for Steph

1069
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: Kared to make a hundred foot shot. I'm surprised that

1070
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 2: there's a there's a write up on this on the Athletic.

1071
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 2: His old tunnel shots at Oracle near fifty footers, right,

1072
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: they seemed longer to me. But this was twice as long.

1073
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable because he wasn't shooting those ones on the

1074
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: other end of the of the arena, on the other

1075
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: end of the floor. He was shooting those ones from

1076
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: the tunnel, which was very far away into like dare

1077
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: I say, baseline you know what I mean? Yep, or

1078
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: like almost behind it. So, yeah, this one, this one's

1079
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: even new for Steph.

1080
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,680
