35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to Spurs How to Blast. We drafted teams that we

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: thought were interesting in the second half. Then we were

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: joined by Jacob Toby, who's the play by play announcer

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,160

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: joining us. But we went to the game last night,

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about the Spurs beating the

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: Suns here in Austin. We had other basketball back in

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: our lives. We'll touch on a few games. We'll talk

45
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: a little tanking because Silver says they might be addressing it.

46
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: We must address it.

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Yes, but we had a leggie so great start to

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. It was in Madison

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: Square Garden. Kate Cunningham is going to get credit for

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the weggie. It's a block Weggie. He definitely fouled og Anobi,

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: but they did not call it at the rim there,

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: so it goes in the record books task as weggie

53
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: number forty eight for cad Cover.

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: You gotta give him credit.

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 5: Yes, he was riding OG's back basically all the way

56
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: to the rim. He kind of had his hand on

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: his back end with an awesome block that made Iron

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: Eagle just erupt.

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: A block Weigie immediately.

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: We called it a is what he actually called it.

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: He really wanted to give credit to Og. It goes

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: to Kaid, But yeah, he popped for the dunk part

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: of it.

64
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: It was good.

65
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: Why would you pop?

66
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: Why would you call it a dunk attempt?

67
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: It was a dunk attempt to wed a block. We Kay.

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's kind of just on his back, So is

69
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: that where you're saying that the foul was where he's

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 5: kind of hand.

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: He fells at the rim too. Now you could say

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: the ball is a part of the hand, is part

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: of the ball type of stuff, but he found that anyway,

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: You just have three blocks.

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 5: In the All Star game last week was keeping it going.

77
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 5: We'll get into that game. It was just fun game. Yeah,

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: it was good.

79
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: It even the Wedgie even made like the condensed highlights

80
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: when they were doing it.

81
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Oh wow. Yeah, that was a show of respect to

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: the boys.

83
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: We will get to Kaid's huge night in Massive Square Garden,

84
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: but let's start with the game. We were at again,

85
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Spurs beating the Suns one twenty one ninety four here

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: in Austin at the Moody Center, which is the University

87
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, arena sixteen thousand. I checked the attendance last night,

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: so it's quite a small atmosphere, which made for a

89
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: really fun experience.

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were hooking him horns.

91
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: Everybody was how'd you feel about the acoustics in there?

92
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had different reports about the acoustics before we

93
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: went out of acoustics talk.

94
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody said it was the best, one of the

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: best in the world for acoustics outside of Madison Square Garden.

96
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: So somebody told me.

97
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: I thought they were good.

98
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: It was loud, like it was the entire time, even

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: though this game turned into a monster blowout.

100
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, but like just hearing the chatter, it

101
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: was lively in.

102
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 5: There, I thought, Yeah, and the chance coming from the Jackals, right,

103
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: that's what they're called. Uh yeah, we saw them outside.

104
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 5: They make it feel like a European game. Even Wemby

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 5: was hooking him horns and he literally popped that up

106
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 5: after a bucket.

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: Everybody was into it. Yeah did it?

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Oh you did la Marcus Aldridge City Court side, of

109
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: course did it?

110
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 4: You went to school?

111
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah. But the Spurs win their seventh straight

112
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: TK and you said it there. I mean, it's turned

113
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: into a blowout. Suns were short. Dylan Brooks and then

114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Devin Booker was playing, but then he wasn't and he

115
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: didn't play a lot, and there's not a lot of

116
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: offense being generated on the Sun side.

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: And the Spurs are awesome too, So yeah, sore hip

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: for Devin Booker. He tried to come back. We were

119
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 3: just wondering if he was in the bathroom for a while,

120
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: but only played nine minutes and there was a four

121
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: minute stretch at the start of the second quarter where

122
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: the Sons didn't score, and that was the entire game.

123
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: It was over from that moment.

124
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: It was weird watching Victor because I thought he didn't

125
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: play very well. I thought the Suns did a great

126
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: job defending him. They had a small guy on him

127
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: for the most part, Mark was hanging nearby. Only seventeen

128
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: points for Victor. The ball was deflected a ton of times.

129
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: He only got credited with one turnover, but like the

130
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: Sons were digging down knocking him over. He was on

131
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: the ground quite a bit and the guy still completely

132
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: dominated the game. Only went seven to fifteen from the

133
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: field but five blocks. It was a complete no fly

134
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: zone in the paint. The Suns had no way to

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: attack him, especially missing most.

136
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: Of their guards out there.

137
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: So I thought it was just an average Victor game

138
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: and he was easily the best player on the court.

139
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: It was cool, It's true.

140
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 5: From our seats it felt like, uh, you're at sort

141
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: of like the regular TV angle at where we were

142
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 5: watching Victor, and it was cool to watch him pregame.

143
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: I know, I said to Esh, he had his shooting

144
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 5: shirt on national anthem. He takes it off. There's no

145
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 5: jersey on. He just had his undershirt on and then

146
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: he puts his jersey on, so I don't know, just

147
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: this is an interesting thing as he gets prepared mentally,

148
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: and then we see a fake three point shot at

149
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 5: his first attempt. That's when Mark Bit Mark Williams went

150
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: out to it. You're not blocking at my man?

151
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, good point. Yeah, why would you ever almost?

152
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he did fight him all night.

153
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: It's not on Mark, Buddy Bit and Wenby.

154
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: Like right, you know, a great sightline for us to

155
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: just watch him glide in and score. He had that

156
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: spin across the lane for the bank shot, which was

157
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: really sweet, and then the gliding dunk. It's almost like

158
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: he's hovering over the floor because he's like, I don't know,

159
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: half a foot off and it's not like he's he's

160
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: not eight feet in the air, but he literally, you know,

161
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: he glides for multiple feet.

162
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: So it was cool seeing him.

163
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he didn't have a great game, but the blocks

164
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: were there, like the two on one possession and we thought, okay,

165
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: this is turning into an offensive score the other way

166
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 5: as they go on a fast break and he missed.

167
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, he was good enough.

168
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: It was cool to see Stefan Castle I thought in person,

169
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: because he's just so in control. He knows how to

170
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: get that ball up high and it's not quite a carry.

171
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: He's just he's in control everywhere on the floor. And

172
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 5: he was their leading scorer, right because twenty hit eight

173
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: of eleven is comfortable as they space the floor so nicely.

174
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: Him from the corner, him from inside, hanging inside. Yeah,

175
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: he's just so in control of his body.

176
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Everybody played well for the Spurs for the most part,

177
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Like even brought up Courtnett, who came in and had

178
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: some big minutes. Oh yeah, well he threw down. He

179
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: was like he had like the sixth best play last

180
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: night on the top ten list on NBA with the

181
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: put back dunk, which was powerful, and you know, he

182
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: went nuts and the crowd went nuts. But yeah, it

183
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: was a great atmosphere for sure, and they're gonna play

184
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: again here on Saturday. They played the Kings in Austin,

185
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: and yeah, there was there was a buzz for sure,

186
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Like felt like every seat was somebody sitting in it.

187
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't many empty seats, and again it's

188
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: not huge a building, so you know, I was gonna

189
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: say they'll maybe have a more competitive game on Saturday,

190
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: but they're playing the Kings, so it could be just

191
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: as just as bad, but good for Spurs fans as

192
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: they dominate.

193
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 5: But yeah, the hottest team in the NBA winning seventh straight.

194
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: No Dylan Brooks obviously in this game, and then Booker

195
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: barely played, so Jale Geary was trying to do his thing.

196
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 5: He scored eleven of the team's first twenty. But as

197
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 5: you said, at the beginning of the second quarter, when

198
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 5: it's Colin Gillespie time, they're running it out of the

199
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 5: time out plays for Colin Gillespie and only Colin Gillsbie.

200
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 5: They needed some guys. Jordan Goodwin couldn't his thing. Yeah,

201
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: they were just their bench was lacking.

202
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: Tough game for Livers, you know. Livers couldn't bring them back. No,

203
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: that was too bad.

204
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 5: They didn't have enough offense and they're like Royce O'Neil.

205
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 5: As you said, they were using smaller guys on Wemby,

206
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: so they're trying, but they just needed Booker and we

207
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: all thought.

208
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been that would have been helpful,

209
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: helpful for the old Brooks.

210
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Well, it was pretty funny even for US Sikos at times,

211
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: like who the hell is that? Oh yeah, that's Fleming.

212
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Who the hell is that? Oh yeah, I Mere Coffee's

213
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: on this team. Like, we were getting some deep rotation

214
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: players on the Suns, and even we got to see Mellowatch.

215
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: That's a big guy. The guy is huge, tall man. Yeah,

216
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 4: all thick man.

217
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: He was like towering over beyond bo Man because he

218
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: got some opportunity as this turned into a blowout. But yeah,

219
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: one ninety four for the for the person. Any other

220
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: observations from either the game or our time here in

221
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Austin before we get to some of the other games.

222
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: I believe there were eighty six Jackals in attendance.

223
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good numbers for traveling down from San Antonio.

224
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a lot of them.

225
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: We were filming stuff pregame. A lot of them showed

226
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 3: up together doing their chance. They got a lot of

227
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: characters out there, Spurs Nacho. There was a guy wearing

228
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: like a I'm sure it was a Jackal mask, but

229
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: I interviewed him and he goes to me, can I

230
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: answer in character? Yes, of course you can't, please do Jerry.

231
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: So every third question just goes yeah, I like that guy.

232
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: The wolf was very funny. We interviewed an alien, a.

233
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: Man in full alien costume.

234
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a random fan that said started talking

235
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 5: about Jared Allen all of a sudden, and that Jared

236
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: Allen because he went to ut here. He saw him

237
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 5: at an HGB last off season, because he spends his

238
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 5: time here in the off season. I said, oh, what

239
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 5: was he doing at a GPS said he was plowing

240
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: through the produce.

241
00:10:59,559 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: There.

242
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: You brought up the guy basically dressed as I guess

243
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: he goes by Spurs Nacho.

244
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, but looks like Jack Black. I mean he's dressed

245
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: like Nacho Libre. It looks identical to him.

246
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Did you see what I shared last night?

247
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: When we got home he got his capa yeah, so

248
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: he wrote, he.

249
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Tweeted, this is Spurs Nacho part of the Jackals. Drove

250
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: up to the Moody Center in Austin, had my costume

251
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and capeon with my Jackal bling. Some Moody employee ran

252
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: up to me right as I was about to go

253
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: through security and said that my costume wasn't permitted. He

254
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: took a picture of me, and his superior said.

255
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: No, superiors, come on.

256
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean he just had like a cape on.

257
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: He was I mean he was just dressed like weird.

258
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: I think they let the guy in that was wearing

259
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: the glitter ball bike helmet motorcycle.

260
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, seemed to get in.

261
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: I definitely saw Jerry the Wolf walking around in the concourse. Yes, well,

262
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know why the cape is the thing. Yeah,

263
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: you know, they've fallen out of fashion in the past

264
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: couple of centuries. But I still think you should be

265
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: allowed to dress like Nacho Leebred for a game.

266
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: I agree.

267
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: I don't know what's.

268
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: Being a little too much of a stickler there with

269
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: the rules anything else. From Austin, we did check out,

270
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: uh what do they call it? The Dirty six Yeah,

271
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: which is like their weird version of Nashville's.

272
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: Version of Nashville, their version of Bourbon Street. One travel

273
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: tip I would say, if you want to experience Dirty sixth,

274
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 3: seven o'clock on a Wednesday night is not the ideal

275
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: time for it. The bands aren't really tuned up at

276
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: that point.

277
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: No, it was quiet. Yeah, there's a lot of bars though.

278
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that, and they will try and

279
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: get you to come into their establishment quite aggressively. But yeah,

280
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: it was quiet when we were over there. But we

281
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: got to see it, So that's fun. Anything else, let's talk,

282
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: Oh go ahead.

283
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: Nope, nope, we had some good tacos. I just wanted

284
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: that to be on the record.

285
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: We did the barb We did the barbecue, we did

286
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: the tacoss. Yeah. We did the things you're supposed to do,

287
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: I think. And it's a great city to walk around,

288
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: and the weather's being nice. I mean it started to

289
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: get hot, but I like that. We can get around

290
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: easy and uh I do. We never took one, but

291
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: it's a real uh pro like rickshaw city, very pro

292
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: blined out rickshaws. Like after the game last night.

293
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, leaving the game there was a crew of rickshaws

294
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: and birds scooters flying down the street. Felt like that

295
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: scene to me in one battle after another, where like

296
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: the revolutionary skaters are following along with a Benicio and Leo, like.

297
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 4: Just like skitching on the back. Yeah, that's what that

298
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 4: moment felt.

299
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: I agree, very regret it not jumping in one on

300
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: the rickshaw. Yeah.

301
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: I mean they've got all forms of transportation here, from

302
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 4: driverless vehicles to driver fied rickshaws, any way you want

303
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: to get around.

304
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot lot of ways down a lot

305
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: of them.

306
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did have those tacos.

307
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 5: And I wonder if the speculation about Devin Booker's stomach

308
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 5: was because any of us felt a little bubbly. I mean,

309
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 5: our tummies felt a little bubbly.

310
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: Yet I was okay, you were rough.

311
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: That was a rough. I mean I used the facilities

312
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: many times. I think that's why I showered many times

313
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: while we were here. That was good. I feel great.

314
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: So many showers and a handheld shower.

315
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: You got the premium shower.

316
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a much better coming up hotel room.

317
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: Then we got.

318
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 4: Into your stall.

319
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, before we check out here, it's great tor

320
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 5: rinse with a handheld God, it feels very nice.

321
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: So nice.

322
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Caid Cunningham. Wade Wunningham. This

323
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: guy's throwing up dubs left and right. Forty two points

324
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: leads the Pistons to the one twenty six, one to

325
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: eleven victory over the Knicks. Detroit was without Jayalen Duran,

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: without Beef Stew. Those guys are obviously suspended, but they

327
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: go in and they punk them. They've beat them three

328
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: times now this season.

329
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: Week Job.

330
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: They beat him by thirty one, They beat him by

331
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight and then fifteen points in last night's victory.

332
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Pistol are the real deal here?

333
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: TK, Yeah, they were missing their two biggest, baddest dudes,

334
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: and Detroit to me still seemed like the bigger batter team.

335
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: Uh Paul Reid, this guy is the perfect emergency starter.

336
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: He just brings a lot of energy. He plays his role,

337
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: just rolls to the basket, gets his dunks, gets his

338
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: offensive rebounds. He was pretty solid, I thought totally. Smith

339
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: even gave him good minutes. But Caid was the story.

340
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 3: Bontems just did his third straw pole or his second

341
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: straw pole, and I saw Caid was third in the voting.

342
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: He was second on my ballot, mostly because he's played

343
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: about three hundred more minutes than Jokic, but he's also

344
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: just been so good in the clutch, and he was

345
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: dominant last night. Oji was the only guy who stood

346
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: a chance for the Knicks, but Detroit did a really

347
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: good job of getting Og off of him, and then

348
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: anytime they would get a switch on, Brunts and heart

349
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Bridges just too small like Caid could either get to

350
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: his spots with his muscles and rise up over the

351
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: top or in Brunson in Heart's case, literally just shoot

352
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: over the top of him. The vision is there to

353
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: find guys for assists, So he's a forty to ten

354
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: incredible stuff. I don't really remember the previous Knicks Pistons

355
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: games well enough to know the strategies, but if these

356
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 3: two teams meet in the playoffs, they're gonna have to

357
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: double team him the entire time. They weren't doing that

358
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: last night, and I'm sure that's probably Mike Brown saving

359
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 3: something for the playoffs in case they do have a matchup.

360
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: But there's no way they can play this guy one

361
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: on one. Nobody stands a chance against kid.

362
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: He's too damn strong. I mean, he is so physical.

363
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: They beat him now six straight times in regulation in

364
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: the regular season. They lost in the PLAYOFFAH series obviously.

365
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: Yeah so, but this is coming off it's literally, I

366
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: don't know, fifteen days before I'm just throwing out the number,

367
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: but it's a couple of weeks before they beat him

368
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 5: by thirty one. And then you come out of the

369
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: All Star Game without Yeah, you're starting center and the

370
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 5: backup center, and that guy is able to get anywhere

371
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 5: just plowing through everybody and taking the most shots. He's

372
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: taken in a regulation game this year because his second

373
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: best player wasn't there. Thirty four shots in this game

374
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: that was super impressive and whatever he wanted now he

375
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 5: got a lot of support from guys and he was

376
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 5: setting them up.

377
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: He dropped twelve dimes because he's so just in command

378
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: of his body.

379
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 5: He gets into the lane and when he wants to pass,

380
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 5: he slows down so he doesn't commit an offensifl but

381
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 5: getting it out to Duncan Robinson, who had three really

382
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 5: important threes. Javonte Green hit a three Caro silverd hit

383
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: two threes in the fourth quarter that were pretty important.

384
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: But that Paul Reid guy, you drafted him in our expansion.

385
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: Draft if we had in a Las Vegas and Seattle

386
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 5: teams coming out, he was awesome. I don't know what

387
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 5: is in the centers for the Detroit Pistons, but to

388
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 5: see him block Cat and to see what Isaiah Stewart

389
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 5: has become when he leads in defensive field goal percentage

390
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 5: at the rim.

391
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: In the NBA Isaiah Stewart forty two point seven, that's surprising.

392
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 5: And so that that's why I mentioned all these guys

393
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 5: that are sort of falling perfectly behind Kate Cunningham.

394
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: And it's surprising to say that.

395
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 5: I know, twenty four hours ago when we had that

396
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 5: show and I said, the Pistons are my team right

397
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: now coming out of the Eastern Conference, and you said,

398
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: who's that second guy to help out Cad, it's.

399
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: A fair question.

400
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, now they have.

401
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: Everybody is just it's just falling in position.

402
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 5: You got a bad game from Tobias Harris, but it

403
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 5: didn't matter because there were seventh, eight to ninth, tenth

404
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: and Ron Holland I din't even mentioned him, like those

405
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 5: guys came through because of what Kate is. I mean,

406
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: he just demands that because of how good he is.

407
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: The block that you mentioned Paul Reid on Kat, did

408
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: you see jael In Brunson's reaction to said block. The

409
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: cameras went over to the bench and Brunson dropped a

410
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: just a huge, like big ass sigh on what are

411
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: you doing? Type of cat? That clip went viral last night.

412
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 5: I mean, Paul Reid had a hand on Cat's Yeah, dude,

413
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: but I think that must be in the coaching because

414
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: everybody's doing it. Like we just said, Kaid does it too.

415
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 5: I mean, they're good at being physical with their offhand.

416
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: Did you see JB. Bickerstaff's comp for Cunningham. Did you read?

417
00:18:59,520 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 4: This?

418
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Made me laugh? He said he's neo from the Matrix,

419
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: but not the early neo who was red pilled into reality,

420
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: the one in the later films where Bickerstaff said, who

421
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: realized he was the one?

422
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

423
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: So that's Bickerstaff talking about Kid, saying he is he

424
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: is like the developed neo. You're the one.

425
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: You don't hear a lot.

426
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: About the Matrix sequels six, so great reference. Yeah, absolutely

427
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: by that guy. But I mean he was in total control.

428
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it. He could take down as

429
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 3: many agent. Smith says the next we're thrown at him.

430
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, where did you put Kid on your MVP ballot

431
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: for the straw pole for Bontemps, Trey said, you went

432
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: his highest two?

433
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: He was my number.

434
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: So he went Shaye than Caid and then Yokich Okay,

435
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: I think I did the exact same.

436
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: I had him met four Tasmel.

437
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I know Yokich was above him, and

438
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna wemby high right now?

439
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: I mean, is that you know it's fine?

440
00:19:59,119 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 4: Sure?

441
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's pretty good too. My one final thought in

442
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: this game, and this is from Kelly Dwyer. I saw

443
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: in his newsletter. He said, if the Pistons can top

444
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: the Knicks by basically twenty eight points per game a

445
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: year after New York beat Detroit in the playoffs, why

446
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: aren't we all in love with the twenty five twenty

447
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: six Detroit Pistons. Why isn't this everyone's, you know, second

448
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: favorite team. And he made comparisons to like, you know,

449
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: when the Knicks suddenly got good again, everyone's like, oh,

450
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: it's great. Half of the Knicks is good for basketball.

451
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: The Bulls we always joke, but when they're actually half

452
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: teas and the Bulls are back and all that. He

453
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: even said the Hornet's obviously getting a lot of love.

454
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: He's like, why why aren't we sort of we the media,

455
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: I guess fans doing the same for the Detroit Pistons

456
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: because it's not.

457
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: A big market.

458
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not referring to us because we give

459
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 5: the Pistons. Yeah, I said they're the team that's going

460
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 5: to come out of the East, but there's not as

461
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: big a market.

462
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: That's that's that.

463
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, Detroit is is pegged as a smaller town

464
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 5: smaller is not as bigamorous.

465
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets are a small town and people are in

466
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: love with them.

467
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 5: With they're saying, stay off the roads because you're gonna

468
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 5: get hit by LaMelo balls.

469
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: Yes, don't get don't take a rickshaw in Charlotte. I

470
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: guess Lamello's out there zipping around.

471
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And his postgame press conference response to that was

472
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 5: he he was just kind of done with the questions.

473
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 2: He didn't he didn't own it and answer the questions.

474
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: Yesterday postgame when he was asked about it, he just

475
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 5: got up. His pants were half down his butt literally,

476
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 5: I don't know why, and he just walked out. He

477
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: didn't own it, So that was that was unfortunate. I

478
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 5: thought a lot of the postgame conferences, other than JB.

479
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 5: Bickerstaff's comments about the matrix, we're sad last night and

480
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: we'll get some more of them because I was taking notes. Yeah,

481
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 5: Lamello didn't own it. That was yeah, I was I

482
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: was wrong.

483
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Do you have any theories on sort of why the

484
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: Pistons are oddly just yeah, not getting the love maybe

485
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: that they deserve her.

486
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: I think it is a little bit hard to believe

487
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: in the Pistons, like we talked about, they haven't won.

488
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: A playoff series yet. They played a great series last.

489
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: Year against the Knicks, but I think in their recent past,

490
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: their losing streak is more memorable than even their playoffs

491
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: last year. You look at the way they're playing this season,

492
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: and teams talk about two three four in the Eastern

493
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: Conference a lot more. You know, the Calves made the

494
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: move for Harden, We're wondering when Jason Tatum will come back.

495
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: The Knicks, we keep expecting to see them reach the ceiling. Meanwhile,

496
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: it does feel like the Pistons are playing above their

497
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: heads in some sort of sense. Right, They don't have

498
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 3: a number two guy really like Tobias Harris had an

499
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: OK game last night, but him giving them like eleven

500
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: points was huge for them. So I think you forecast

501
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: the way the playoffs could go. Teams will scheme to

502
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: take Kate out of the game, then what do they do.

503
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: There's a lot of questions there. I think also being

504
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: a super physical defensive team, we've seen that be successful

505
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: in a lot of regular seasons and then fall short

506
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: in the postseason. So to me, there are still playoff

507
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: question marks to be answered. But undeniably. They got the

508
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: best record in the league. They've got a guy who

509
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: is an MVP Top three candidate in Caid Cunningham.

510
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 4: But you got to do something in the playoffs. First.

511
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: I think it's not totally dissimilar to win OKC before

512
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: they won the championship. During the twenty three to twenty

513
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 3: four season, they were the best team in the Western Conference.

514
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: They won sixty plus games, and still everybody's like, Okay,

515
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: do something in the playoffs. They won one playoff series,

516
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 3: then they lost in round two. Same thing could easily

517
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: happen to the Pistons this year, but it just means

518
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: they're on the upswing. And I think the fact that

519
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference was down this year. The last two

520
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 3: teams to make the finals out of the East were

521
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,479
Speaker 3: taken out of the running basically, and the Celtics and

522
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: the Pacers, it feels like they're almost a replacement team

523
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: in some sort of sense, whereas where people aren't necessarily

524
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: thinking this is a true blue title contender, but at

525
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: the very least they should be the favorites in the

526
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference.

527
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: They've been the best team the entire season.

528
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: You're right that we do we don't anoint them until

529
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: they do it. Yeah, that's just how basketball works.

530
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: And like I went through those like three like benchmarks

531
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: or checklists that you want to hit to be in

532
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: the lead team with the Spurs yesterday, the Pistons hit

533
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: all those as well, easily, you know, easily to forty

534
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: wins before twenty losses. The great srs of the four

535
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: plus they're they're like, actually better than the Spurs, and

536
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: then their top three seed of course, and the number

537
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: one seed. So they do that as well. And history

538
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: tells us like you sort of have to hit those

539
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: marks in order to win the whole thing. But you

540
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: guys are right. It's like we got the Spurs in

541
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: the West and the Pistons in the East, and it's like,

542
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: why not either of these teams, Why couldn't they meet

543
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: in the finals. It's again, it's difficult. Yeah, five, I

544
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: hope it's not the two thousand and five finals between

545
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: those two teams.

546
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had one team in the seven game series

547
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 5: get over one hundred points.

548
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: There's one in one game.

549
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

550
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to have some points.

551
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: We all wonder if but Jason James coming back, I

552
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 5: look at eh because yesterday while we're watching the game,

553
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 5: you said that there's another report from Chris Hans about

554
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 5: Jason Tatum.

555
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: Didn't you. It wasn't there. It was not there.

556
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I didn't see I.

557
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: Never got to read it. I was trying to tell

558
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 4: you I saw it.

559
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: I would go back, and then I went.

560
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: I went to his Twitter account. It didn't I didn't

561
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: see a Haynes.

562
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: Report and see a Haynes brief.

563
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: I didn't see Haynes free.

564
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: It disappeared, man, I was just looking forward to disappeared.

565
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: Could not find it. Ah.

566
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: Yes, so that's obviously a great question if Tatum comes back.

567
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 5: I mean, we have to see him be able to

568
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 5: play to his capabilities. But yeah, Celtics Pistons could easily

569
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 5: be the Eastern Conference final.

570
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: The Pistons want the playoffs to start tomorrow because they

571
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: might be the best team in the league. They are.

572
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: It feels like right now the way they're playing overall

573
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: with down guys even but it's still a while.

574
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Stuart has the best defensive percentage at the him.

575
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: I just can't get over that. The guy's he didn't

576
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 4: single shot at the room last night.

577
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: He didn't.

578
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: He was all right, another game we got to address.

579
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: Benedict Mathrin scored thirty eight points for the Clippers, and

580
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: they want a wild one over the Nuggets. One fifteen,

581
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: one fourteen. I say wild because Jamal Murray he had

582
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: a uneventful final minute. Let me run through it. He

583
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: got a blow by dunk on brook Lopez at the

584
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: end of it that pulled the Nuggets within two. Then

585
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: he had a crazy three, a classic like Jamal, like

586
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: pump fake and then sort of fade three on the

587
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: wing that pulled the Nuggets within one. And then right

588
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: at the end, he drew a foul at the buzzer

589
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: on a three point attempt. He steps to the line,

590
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: he swishes the first one, All right, here we go.

591
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: The second one, ah rattles home a little bit.

592
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: Broadcaster said, caught a little more iron than I think

593
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 4: you would have liked that.

594
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: That's right. And the third one he botched it. He misses,

595
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: and the Clippers survive with the one fift fourteen victory.

596
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 5: Some crazy game, yeah, and there they decided to shoot

597
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 5: in front of the wall for the second half.

598
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: That came into effect.

599
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: They missed five free throws in the fourth quarter. What works,

600
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 5: just some degree It.

601
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: Does the stats say that does a little bit too?

602
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, what also would would work as Nikol Yokic playing

603
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: like Nikola Jokic.

604
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 2: He ain't right, I mean, he just had a bad game.

605
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 5: He just hasn't been incredibly precise in those I think

606
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 5: he's played eight games since he returned from injury, had

607
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: six turnovers in this one.

608
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: He's sloppy Jokic.

609
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: The first time he's ever come back from a like

610
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: a real injury.

611
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, surely. Yeah.

612
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 5: And you know he's going behind the back and losing

613
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 5: the ball. And that's when Benedict Matherns started the running.

614
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 5: It's coming off the bench, and that's where Benedict Matherin's

615
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 5: peak may come from, coming off the bench, dribblehandnoff screens.

616
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: It's your time, my man, you just go score.

617
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: And so, yes, he was awesome, but it was weird

618
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 5: to see the Nuggets just not play like themselves. Jokic

619
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 5: o for from three. So we didn't see a good

620
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 5: Nuggets game.

621
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 3: They've been pretty average since he came back three and five,

622
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: and like you're saying, they were totally sloppy last night.

623
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: Six turnovers for Yokic, four for Murray. They had seventeen total.

624
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: That was allowing the Clippers to get out and match them.

625
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: From a fast point of view, I thought Derek Jones

626
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: Junior was really good for LA. I thought John Collins

627
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 3: gave them a little something early on as well. But

628
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 3: it basically comes down to Yo Kitchen Murray just weren't

629
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 3: good enough. We've seen at least three times this season

630
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: Murray go to the line on a three shot foul

631
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 3: and miss at least one. He shoots seventy seventy six

632
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: percent from the free throw line in clutch situations. I

633
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: don't know if that means anything or if he's just

634
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: been having a little bit of bad luck, but.

635
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: He's got to make the free throw. He blew it.

636
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: There's no other way around it.

637
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we do talk about their injuries all the time.

638
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 5: It may help both y'oll Kitchen Jamal Murray just to

639
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 5: have Aaron Gordon there because he is their third best players.

640
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: As much as I thought that Cam Johnson trade would

641
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: work out, it as not.

642
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: To this point. He has not been great.

643
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 5: Just Aaron Gordon taking some pressure off their shoulders, especially

644
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray considering how much has been on his shoulders

645
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: with all these injuries this entire season. I think that

646
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: is something to worry about going into not just February March,

647
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 5: but April. And this is the most that he's had

648
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 5: to do in his career, So that is a worry.

649
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: And this might be a great opportunity here for Benett

650
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Mathren like this role. He might be able to get

651
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: to play for the Clippers, getting to shoot a ton.

652
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: Obviously Pacers team that has nobody on offense, true most

653
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 3: improved player, but we've seen him have big games, even

654
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: in bigger moments, and then he can score. There's no

655
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: doubt of that.

656
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sort of up and down. Can you put

657
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: it together consistently? And he's playing for a contract, yes,

658
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: you know there's that too, But he knows how to

659
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: get his buckets. I mean he still lives at the

660
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: free throw line. I mean twelve to thirteen last night

661
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: for this guy too. And that's pretty normal for him

662
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: when he gets any opportunity. But big win from the

663
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: Clips as they as they get one.

664
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: There and a game and a half out of the

665
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: eighth seed, and they're chasing the Warriors, who look bad

666
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: right now. Even though porzingis played last night, that's about

667
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: the only guy. So certainly, I think the Clippers have

668
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: a pretty good shot to get into the eighth seed,

669
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: which gives them two chances to make it in the playoffs.

670
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: Let's show you the other scores from last night. We

671
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: had the Hawks beating the Sixers cookout, and that the

672
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Wizards beat the Pacers. You had the Magic hitting a

673
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: million threes against the Kings. They're losing streak continues. The

674
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Calves dominated the Nets, Rockets Hornets was a close one.

675
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: That was a fun one one o five one on

676
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: one for Houston. Raptors beat your bulls, uh, and Celtics

677
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: beat the Warriors. Like you said, any other takeaways from

678
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: from those ones that you want to address.

679
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: Burner is exposed for Kevin Durant, But he won back

680
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: his team by being awesome at basketball thirty five points,

681
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: eight boards for rebound or four assists, three blocks and

682
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 3: just kind of took over down the stretch, which is

683
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: exactly why they made the move for him during the offseason.

684
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: So I think he hasn't tweeted in five days. That

685
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: is evident enough for me that.

686
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: In those groups, yeah so crazy. Yeah, he's just talking

687
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: and sharing this stuff with basically randoms.

688
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's insane.

689
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: But I believe all the validation that guy a lot.

690
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: Yes, you would think being one of the twenty best

691
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: basketball players of all time would be enough, but I

692
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: guess not. Evan Mobley came back for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

693
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: They just completely destroyed. It was over and yeah, he

694
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: didn't have to do very much, but pretty cool alley

695
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: from James Harden to Donovan Mitchell, and Mitchell was like

696
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: Spider Man. The way he finished it leaning over. It

697
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: was almost dangerous, I thought. The way he went up

698
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: for the dunk.

699
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we saw another wolf get dunked on. It's

700
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 5: not like we saw the first wolf get dunked on.

701
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: But I just wanted to make another wolf friends reference.

702
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 5: Kean Ellis dunked right in Danny Wolf's face, right in

703
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 5: the snout, right in the mouth of that wolf, Jared Allen.

704
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 5: It kind of had a no look dunk. I don't

705
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 5: know if you guys saw the ESPN. They froze it

706
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 5: when he threw it down. He literally wasn't looking at

707
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: the rim. It was kind of nice dunk for Jared Allen.

708
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: You don't say that too.

709
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: How would you score it in a dunk contest?

710
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: I mean not good. It was just the regular dunk,

711
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: but he wasn't looking at the.

712
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 4: Right Well, I guess this was maybe better if Jared

713
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: Allen wasn't looking.

714
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then you need to see the

715
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: replays and you need to screen grab it. I thought

716
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: we were Yeah, Durant finishing Charlotte ten straight points to

717
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: end the game.

718
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: That he scored the last ten points. I don't know.

719
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 5: Do his buddies like him though, Like Shnguin didn't have

720
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: a good game in that one his his friends, But

721
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant was awesome. I thought Jade and Ivy's postgame

722
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 5: press conference was unfortunate because he had a d M

723
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 5: p CD in this game and they were talking about

724
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 5: they have six guards and that whole thing, and they

725
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 5: got to play some guys. But he said after the

726
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 5: game quote, I've been dealing with niece orness in my knee.

727
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: I'm sure people can call it out. I'm not the

728
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 5: same player I used to be. That's why I'm not

729
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 5: the Ji I used to be. The old Ji is dead.

730
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 5: I was unfortunate to hear yeah, yes, super young, yes, yes, yes,

731
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 5: So hopefully he can come around because I started to

732
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: think about it. It wasn't his knee that he hurt

733
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 5: last year when he literally broke his leg when Cole

734
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 5: Anthony kind of took out his legs. So shouldn't be

735
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 5: an effect of or shouldn't have an effect of a

736
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: bad knee when you literally break it ate, but I

737
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: suppose it could. So anyways, hopefully he gets back to

738
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 5: who he is. He's also playing for a contract here,

739
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: but also not playing.

740
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: Not playing. Make sure this contract. Play for contract when

741
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: you're a DMP. So it's unfortunate, And I slipped it

742
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: in there that the Magic hit a bunch of threes.

743
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: They set a franchise record for most three pointers made

744
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: in a game. They hit twenty seven for fifty from

745
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: deep against the lowly Kings. The Magic are not a

746
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: good three point team. They're one of the worst in

747
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: the league. They shoot like thirty four percent. They're like

748
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty seventh in the league, like one of the worst

749
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: teams that have been for a while. But you know,

750
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: on any given night, these things can drop twenty seven.

751
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: How many of they hit in the fourth quarter. Basketball

752
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: Reference wasn't working for me right now. Yeah, it was

753
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 3: funky for me, a four o fours, but it was

754
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: a close game until the fourth quarter, and then they

755
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: went crazy, at least what it looked like nuts. I

756
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 3: did see Reino hit a Larry birdshot. Yeah, that's cool.

757
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: I like that anytime. He was like cheezing when it happens, Like,

758
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: did you see that?

759
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: But that wasn't on the top ten, right, that one

760
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: was number nine or something. Okay, it just snuck in.

761
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: It was worthy, It was worthy.

762
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: Imbeid missed the last three of the last four for

763
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: the Sixers. Yeah, that's something I like that. No, oh yeah,

764
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: I like that. Yeah, that's definitely something to worry about.

765
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: And did you have any takeaways on Porzingis cin a

766
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Warriors jersey again.

767
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 4: I just saw him jump in a jump ball.

768
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: I saw him hit a deep three from way downtown bang,

769
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 3: and I saw him get involved in a jump ball

770
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 3: where whoever the Celtic was was also holding onto it

771
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: for a long time. I'm not letting go. You're not

772
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: letting go. We used to play together. And I saw

773
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: a hug from Jalen Brown, who had a great game,

774
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: but monster game. I'm I'm I'm surprised to see Porzingis

775
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: playing before a lot of these other guys that were

776
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 3: traded at the deadline. You know, Trey Young hasn't played,

777
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: Davis hasn't played. Coming guy I don't think played last

778
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: night for the Hawks. Porzingis. I wouldn't bet on him

779
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 3: to be the first guy to make a return.

780
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, it seemed like he got better as the game

781
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 5: went on, just watching the Porzingis clips. But they are

782
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 5: going to go into this postseason with the hopes that

783
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 5: Christops Porzingis is going to play, with the hope that

784
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 5: Steph Curry is going to be beside him, because he's

785
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 5: going to be reevaluated in ten days if I'm not incorrect,

786
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 5: So it's.

787
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: Going to It's not looking good for the Warriors right now.

788
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have any chance of Steph Curry's

789
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: not playing. No, you're just completely Your team's completely different.

790
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: They don't have a chance of its playing.

791
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 3: They have a chance to like make the playoffs maybe,

792
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: but they're not going to do anything once Jimmy went

793
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 3: down the season was over.

794
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could have a fun first round and try

795
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 5: and beat another team. If Christaps is clicking with Steph,

796
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 5: there's a fun first round maybe, all right, it hold on,

797
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 5: I do want to ask about a now Orford interview.

798
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: I was surprised by Al Horford playing his old team,

799
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics, and he was asked why he left it,

800
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 5: and I just didn't expect Al to answer it this way.

801
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 5: He said, it's more than basketball. I'll tell people at

802
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 5: another time. Essentially that so it sounds like it's money. Yeah,

803
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 5: it's money, but Al, I'm just surprised that Al gives

804
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 5: a poop about money the same way most NBA players do.

805
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: Obviously Al just doesn't care at this point of his career.

806
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: He just talking of money about.

807
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.

808
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 5: Know he's thirty nine or whatever he is, but he

809
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 5: wouldn't say it's more than that I'm making. Now he's

810
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 5: now making eight million or something. I think it's eight

811
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 5: million with the Warriors, right, So what the Celtics offered

812
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 5: him for it.

813
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: Just it didn't It didn't all fit.

814
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 5: In because it's not just it's not nothing for the self.

815
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 5: Maybe the Celtics isn't offer him anything. Maybe that's what

816
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 5: it is.

817
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 3: It was always the writing was always on the wall

818
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: that that was gonna be Horford's last season because of

819
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: the aprons and Peter Tax and all this stuff. So

820
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 3: they decided to get cheaper. They went in with Cada

821
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: and Garza as their centers this year and it's completely

822
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: worked out. Both of them have outplayed Horford this season,

823
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 3: so the Celtics made the right choice, and Horford made

824
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 3: the right choice for him. He's just not going to

825
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: sniff another title.

826
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

827
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 5: Anyways, he said he's going to tell us at a

828
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 5: later date, and he doesn't talk much, so people will ask, yeah, wait, yeah.

829
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and then when

830
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll talk a little bit about tanking.

831
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: It's Friday, and there hasn't been NBA ball on a

832

Speaker 1: the podcast, So thanks to It was really fun to

Speaker 1: meet everybody here in Austin. We didn't know how many

852
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: people were going to show up to yesterday's podcast. We

853
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: barely pitched it. Yeah, we like put it on a

854
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: We buried it on a Sunday podcast on All Star weekend.

855
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Hey maybe we'll see you in Austin. And we were

856
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: pretty blown away with by how many people showed up.

857
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: So thank you, thank you, thank you. Before we go

858
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: and get on a plane back to Atlanta, NBA Commissioner

859
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: Adam Silver informed all general managers yesterday that the league

860
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: plans to institute rule changes to combat tanking next season.

861
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: A competition committee met in late January, and then Thursday's

862
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: gathering here. Of all these gms, they reportedly discussed several

863
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: potential measures to solve tanking. Let me run through them.

864
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: There's actually a lot that they're considering here.

865
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: Yes, there is.

866
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: First one, first round draft picks can be protected only

867
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: for top four or top fourteen plus selections. Two lottery

868
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: odds freeze at the trade deadline or a later date.

869
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: Three no longer allowing a team to pick in the

870
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: top four in consecutive years and or after consecutive bottom

871
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: three finishes. Option four teams can't pick in the top

872
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: four the year after making the conference finals. Five lottery

873
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: odds allocated based on two year records, something like the

874
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: WNBA does six lottery extended to include all playing teams

875
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: or seven flat nods for all lottery teams. They are

876
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: contemplating everything. Silver says here.

877
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like this guy's been on Twitter a lot,

878
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: because this is every idea you've seen ever pitched in

879
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: the past two weeks since the trade deadline, as tanking

880
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 3: has kind of taken over the discourse here. To me,

881
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: every single one of these solutions still incentivizes losing, just

882
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: to different amounts, and there are different loopholes for how

883
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: teams will get through it. None of them make teams

884
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: want to win. These are all about trying to make

885
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 3: teams want to lose a little bit less. So to me,

886
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: these are all just band aid solutions. What they need

887
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: to do is what the Professional Women's Hockey League does,

888
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: the Gold plan. After your team is eliminated from the playoffs,

889
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 3: you start getting points towards the draft. Whoever gets the

890
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 3: most points gets the best pick. That's the only way

891
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 3: to keep every team invested.

892
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: Right, incentivized winning at the end. Yes for the bad teams, Yes,

893
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: to help your chances, and.

894
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 3: They still have a better chance, says the worst team

895
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: that gets eliminated first, You have the most games to

896
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 3: possibly stack up draft odds.

897
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: What do you think, tas Yes, the.

898
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 5: List of Adam Silver's remedies are band aids, So that's

899
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 5: a good way to put it. There's no quick answer

900
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 5: for any of those. You could still lose games. I

901
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 5: found them.

902
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: They're trying to de emphasize losing with some of these year.

903
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: De emphasizers, right right right.

904
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 5: The one that was interesting that you mentioned there that

905
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 5: Silver listed was you can't have two top four picks

906
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 5: in back to back years, Essentially like you're gonna have one.

907
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 5: You can be bad one year, you can tank it.

908
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 5: So you can pull what the Dallas Mavericks pulled this

909
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 5: year and say, Cooper Flag, you're a point guard. That's

910
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 5: not gonna help us win the first ten games of

911
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 5: the season, but you know it's good for us. Anthony Davis,

912
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 5: you said, Kyrie Irving, you said, so there's ways around it.

913
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that one's almost the craziest one to me, because, Okay,

914
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 3: so one year, four teams will get in the top

915
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: four picks. That means those teams are out for the

916
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: top four next year. Yeah, that means you have ten

917
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: teams who are eligible for the first pick. Why would

918
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 3: you not tank to be one of those ten teams?

919
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 4: Right?

920
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: Well, would you know what? Yes?

921
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 4: Right?

922
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: Like there there would be no point in being the

923
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 3: tenth seed when it I'd rather be have the twelve

924
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: best draft opts, which are actually like the sixth best

925
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 3: draft up odds once you drop the top four teams. Yeah,

926
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: and so two years, the two year records thing is ridiculous.

927
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: That just means teams are going to tank for two years.

928
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you went you like you said, Almost every

929
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: one of these proposed ideas that they're going to talk about.

930
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: You can like, no, you can get around that. If

931
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: you think about gonna be five seconds, you can get

932
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 3: around it.

933
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there isn't.

934
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 5: It's either eliminate the draft entirely, which right, isn't It

935
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 5: isn't going to happen. Shouldn't happen? Yeah, the well you

936
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 5: bring up there with the women's Hockey League idea is interesting.

937
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 5: So at the end of the season, you want to

938
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 5: win games. After you're eliminated, you want to win games.

939
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 2: Right, Is there.

940
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 5: A team that says, oh, we're going to tank for

941
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 5: the first forty games of the season. We're eliminated from

942
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 5: the playoffs, but now we're going to go for the

943
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 5: first draft pick and win.

944
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 4: Sure, try it. Try it.

945
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: Try building a team that's bad enough to lose for

946
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: the first half and good enough to win for the second.

947
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: Well, you sick, guys.

948
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: Even if you have a good team, you say, hey,

949
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 5: our best players, you sit, We're going for the number.

950
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 2: One pick this day.

951
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 3: Okay, like five hundred thousand dollars fines for every single

952
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 3: time you do it, like the other.

953
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 5: The goal players with David Robinson for Tim Duncan you know,

954
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 5: like that kind of thing, like you just don't play

955
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 5: my man.

956
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: But then play at the end, is what you were

957
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: saying in the goal Planet.

958
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 5: Go get the first pick. It's obviously terrible for your

959
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 5: fan base.

960
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: The goal plan is interesting. I think there's something there.

961
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: I do wonder if it gets a little too confusing

962
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: for everyone. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I wonder too,

963
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: our players, the players are they going to play harder

964
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: down the stretch for better odds at players that will

965
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: potentially replace them on better you know, salaries for a franchise.

966
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: You get into that. Now we say all the players

967
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: are never actually tanking, like the ones that are out

968
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: there are trying. That is true, which I do believe too.

969
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: But that's the one counter I've seen to that. It's like,

970
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: why are they Why are these guys gonna, you know,

971
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: really go for it, so to speak, to help their teams? Yeah,

972
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: I know, I know exactly. I just don't think they

973
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: should do anything nothing.

974
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: Really.

975
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I think it's I think I don't

976
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be every single year. It's not,

977
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: but it enough.

978
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 4: Years, it's enough years that it happens all the time.

979
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what is it? Yeah, last year, it wasn't insane.

980
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: We weren't having this conversation here before that. We were

981
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: not going crazy, even in good drafts. I just don't

982
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: think they're going to overreact like they always do and

983
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: they read all the tweets and I go, oh, we

984
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: got to do something drastic and it will probably be worse.

985
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

986
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 3: My team's tanking the second half of the season this

987
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: year sucks. I don't care to watch the balls right now.

988
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 3: Your team tanked the second half of the season last year,

989
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: you didn't watch the raptors. That's just not a way

990
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 3: that fans should be treated. You should want to stay

991
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: invested in your team trying to win games.

992
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be happy.

993
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: But every team's gonna go sixty one and twenty one.

994
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: I mean that's what it is.

995
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 4: That's true, But they should be Every team should be

996
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 4: trying to win.

997
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: Right right right? I mean, yeah, you don't want to

998
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: see healthy guys just shut down. No one's going to

999
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: deny that, especially when these ticket prices what are they

1000
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: are and a family take to see it and you

1001
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: want to see these players, but incentivize them difficult because

1002
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: there's always a workaround because there's there's an incentive to

1003
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: tank because it's such a great way to add players

1004
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: who are good. Obviously, yes, because they're high draft picks,

1005
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: but they're cheap. That's the whole other part of this building.

1006
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: You can lock them up for a long time. Yeah, yeah,

1007
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: getting up the draft and all that. It's like such

1008
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: an advantage, of course to have these young guys. Any

1009
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: other wild ideas you'd like to see. I saw this one.

1010
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: I just want to share it with you, guys. Hires

1011
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: the sorting hat from Harry Potter and just assign players

1012
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: to teams based off of vibes. What a show that

1013
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 1: would be. Instead of the instead of the sorting hat,

1014
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: we could use that creepy animatronic ball we recently saw

1015
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: odd ball as.

1016
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: I just saw this ball. Yeah, old ball.

1017
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm not going to watch any of the clips old ball. Nope,

1018
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 3: I don't want it in my algorithm.

1019
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: How do you think about that idea? Though? Just uh,

1020
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: just you know, let the let silver, let those hat,

1021
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: let the ball decide.

1022
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean that's what we have now. Adam Silver decides

1023
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 4: who gets the number one draft back.

1024
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: There you go.

1025
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: If your team trades a franchise superstar guess what you're

1026
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 3: getting the number one draft pick. It's already rigged, so

1027
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't know how that changes anything.

1028
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why we have to publicly televise it is

1029
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 5: the lottery balls. It's on NBA dot com. Does anybody

1030
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 5: watch that?

1031
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 3: Well?

1032
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: You can, is the point. If you're so convinced it's rigged,

1033
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: you can watch it.

1034
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can actually apparently actually watch the actual lottery

1035
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 5: balls bounce around on NBA dot Com. I've never watched it,

1036
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 5: but I would watch a good TV production. See, that's

1037
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 5: not a good production.

1038
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 3: It's not fun what I used to watch when the

1039
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 3: lottery was on, like the actual like the Illinois lottery,

1040
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 3: you know, like he drops up the balls. You still

1041
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: love that last thirty seconds so fast?

1042
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So it's not as fun to watch the

1043
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 5: NBA one, which I don't know how long does that

1044
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 5: take an hour?

1045
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 2: Like it takes a while because of.

1046
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: The okay, but the production sorting hat old ball. Whatever

1047
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: the hell we're using Silver himself. That's a show right there.

1048
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: We're just like all right that we bring up the

1049
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: draft pick and Silver looks at him and goes boozer.

1050
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: You're going to Sacramento and.

1051
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 3: We're like, oh, I just go ahead and do it

1052
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 3: Prope style. Jeff Propes walks around with a bag of rocks.

1053
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 3: You reach in, it's got your draft slot in there.

1054
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 3: Hold it up all right, everybody reveal.

1055
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's there's your team. There's your team.

1056
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 5: I just know that we could produce the NBA's lottery

1057
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 5: balls way better we have.

1058
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: That's what we're getting at.

1059
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's short.

1060
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 5: The one that actually happens, the one that's you know,

1061
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 5: in in the lockdown format, like the entirely secure situation.

1062
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 5: Like it's like it's a leis Ledger stacks can be

1063
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 5: done better with lots of graphics, lots of fun, well

1064
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 5: more produced, greater hosts.

1065
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 2: It's not that fun. I've never turned it on before.

1066
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 2: I've never turned it on.

1067
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: You never turned on the draft lottery, know.

1068
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 5: The actual lottery, which happens behind closed doors, the sorting

1069
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 5: of the balls, the sorting.

1070
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 2: Of whatever they're doing. I don't even know what they're doing.

1071
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 3: But the Draft lottery isn't long enough. Make it longer

1072
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 3: and show us the balls.

1073
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you don't have.

1074
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 4: To begin with they talk forever.

1075
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 3: See Jared mccainn come on, oh, my god, it's used

1076
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 3: to get fifteen minutes of Heather Cocks see once a

1077
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 3: year in the NBA world, they read off fourteen picks

1078
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 3: and still somehow take a break in those fourteen picks

1079
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: that should take five minutes.

1080
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 4: Tops.

1081
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta sell those commercials. Let's hear from

1082
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: you on tanking. Everybody's got an opinion on it. If

1083
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: these are the things that only things are considering, I'm

1084
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: confident they will do something with these pick protections, which

1085
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: have played a part here in some of these teams,

1086
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: like oh, because you're sort of these middle teams, it's like, oh,

1087
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: stay bad enough, we keep it. Yeah, you know that

1088
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: stuff that is somewhat of an easy solution to at

1089
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: least a little wrinkle that maybe emphasis deemphasizes some of

1090
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: the losing because it's like, you can't do that anymore.

1091
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's no concern of losing said pick

1092
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: because of protections. I think that's what they If they're

1093
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna do something, man, maybe try that. Don't go drastic. Bye,

1094
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: little bite of the night, unsullied by sponsorship since last week.

1095
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 5: Yes, we have some brewing. I laughed at my own

1096
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 5: pun because there's one. There's one coffee. Yes, yes, it's

1097
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 5: coming next week. Those beans. I will laugh at my

1098
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 5: own unintentional but it's brewing. Coffee is brewing for next week.

1099
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: But no sponsor today, Yes, unsponsored, Thank god. Back to

1100
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: back to basics. A real clean whoe Boy here Kate

1101
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: Cunningham gets Whoe Boy the night, not a surprise. Forty

1102
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: two points thirteen assists. I had to ask, you said

1103
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: twelve earlier. Some box scores are different.

1104
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yea.

1105
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: I had forty two and thirteen. He shot seventeen to

1106
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: thirty four from the field. He had five from deep,

1107
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: eight rebounds, two blocks, one steal for Kate Cunningham.

1108
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 5: If the various websites were televised debating whether or not

1109
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 5: Kate Cunningham had twelve assists or thirteen assists or fourteen,

1110
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 5: would you watch that yes? Depending on the statisticians me, neither.

1111
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: ESPN's box score thirteen assists.

1112
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1113
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 5: Maybe I fat fingered that work, but I was I

1114
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 5: was using I was, no, I was. I didn't type

1115
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 5: it on my phone. I typed it on my COMFCE.

1116
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 5: Why are you questioning where I typed it? But I

1117
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 5: used the NBA APP. I used John Schuman's box scores,

1118
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 5: so I thought.

1119
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: It was twelve anyway, Well, that's what I said. Sometimes

1120
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: they're different. Absolutely absolutely seen it before my own. Nice

1121
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: congrats Cicade on a will Boy. That's a really nice

1122
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: will boy pick up tonight Friday night. We did have

1123
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: the Spur Sun's game last night. Trey got forced to

1124
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: take the Sun sort of and they got Wow.

1125
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 3: They took the Sun, So I thought they were going

1126
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 3: to do good. Okay, I had a lot of confidence

1127
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: in Mark, but man, that might that might be the

1128
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: biggest blowout on the line because it was a eight

1129
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: point line and they still lost there.

1130
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't even close. So Trey's four and six,

1131
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm five and five, you're seven and three.

1132
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 4: You know.

1133
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: Not a long month February last I checked. We got

1134
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: like a week to go.

1135
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 5: Here, yep, six more games, and because Trey was forced

1136
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 5: to take.

1137
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 4: A loser, these guys held me down and fingers in

1138
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 4: my nose.

1139
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1140
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 5: So tonight, I said Denver at Portland. I definitely wanted

1141
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 5: to take Denver to avenge themselves for yesterday.

1142
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 2: Also, the first game back from an All Star game

1143
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 2: week off.

1144
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: I think that may be a part of it can

1145
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: be a weird game.

1146
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 5: It was Colin Gillespie, not the Colin Gillespie. I know

1147
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 5: he could have been better either way. Because it's Denver Portland.

1148
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 5: I wanted to take Denver. I said, you guys pick,

1149
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 5: we need to have a third one that's different for

1150
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 5: some reason.

1151
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: So you're you're smart, Tray.

1152
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 5: You took Denver, Skeezy to Denver and I get shafted

1153
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 5: with Portland.

1154
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 1: Mine's only one and a half.

1155
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 5: Portlan could win, say shafted. They could absolutely win. Danny

1156
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 5: could be redeeming himself for his poor a star performance tonight.

1157
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 4: Who knows, so I played in the All Star Game though?

1158
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yokich not right. Anyways, Denver one and a

1159
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: half point favorite in Portland.

1160
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: There it is. We'll call it there. We got a

1161
