1
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Hey o, and welcome to No Dunks, a basketball podcast

2
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: on the Athletic Podcast Network. I'm your host for today,

3
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: Trey Kirby here in the Classic Factory, but joined in

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: the yard by the power of technology by Tass Mellie.

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: I want to say a just cuse, we're gonna talk

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: about Canada, and this is the best Canada moment that

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: we're gonna get throughout this whole show, because they stunk.

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, we also got the young Padawan. They all

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: want to know what the kid did. He's making the

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: magic happen. It's actually a kid.

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: Actually I'm doing man.

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: Man, I'm sad ready.

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: To talk some Olympic basketball, but if you want to

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: hear about all the other sports still going on, make

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: sure to check out Summer of Champions.

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: Also on the No Dunks Podcast.

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: Feeds Skeets Nora JD broke down Day eleven the Olympics.

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Last night a good one for Team USA in the athletics,

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: ring Gabby Thomas and Cole Hawker, Hawk and Alugi coming

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: from behind to win the fifteen hundred for the men.

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 4: That was a thrilling race and I.

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Noticed tests Tim USA creeping up both the total medals

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: list where they've been stuck at the top, and of

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: course the most Golden medals list, rendering the question which

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: way do you order it completely irrelevant because USA is

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: at the top no matter what.

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Well, because Greece lost yesterday in basketball, because Canada lost

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: in basketball. I'm American now, I mean I've got a sitizenship,

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: so technically I am, and so it's easy as that. Plus,

30
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: Greeks are getting banned in pole vault for doping tests.

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: A pole vaulter getting banned although a Greek, this was

32
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: surprising to me. The first Greek to ever win a

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: swimming medal in the Olympics this year.

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: Isn't that so prising?

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Greeks swim, I.

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Mean they didn't get it. They didn't get any two

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: thousand years ago. Seemed unlikely to be weird, right, there

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: must be a modern record.

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: I don't know.

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: That's all right, You can be American because apparently today

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm Canadian and Armenian representing the Skeets household. I'm here

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: in the factory right now, and I think intentionally there's

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: not an American flag around. I haven't been able to locate,

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe I'll leave one behind when I finally

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: leave today. Nonetheless, we're here to talk about Olympic basketball.

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: We got the quarter finals yesterday, three entertaining games plus

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: the US blowout. But unfortunately, Tasks, we got to start

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: with Canada because we got our first real upset of

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: the Olympics as the French national team took down the

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Canadians eighty two to seventy three. Playing in Paris. Got

51
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: huge games from Gershan Yabasel, a Hawk's legend, Isaiah Cordonier

52
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: and long time four and in the side of the Americans,

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Evan forty. A incredible game between France and Canada.

54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 4: Tasks, take me through watching this one.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: It was hard to watch this game, Tray, the way

56
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: Canada was being bullied, just being pushed around inside. The

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty balls all went France's way. Now, if

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: every dumb person knew that France would be better, I

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: said it two days ago. I'm dumb enough to know

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: that after France was embarrassed by Germany, any decent basketball

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: team would be ready for the next game. Then they

62
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: go to Perry. It's a bigger arena where there are

63
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: tons of fans that are ready for them and cheering

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: for them. So it wasn't surprising that Canada got down early.

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: They were down thirteen at the end of the first quarter,

66
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: but the way it kept going to be pushed around them,

67
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: to be pushed around over and over was surprising, and

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 2: how they just didn't have the capacity to fight back

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: against those guys that you mentioned. Now, I was dumb

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: enough or smart enough, dumb enough, whatever you want to say,

71
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: to know that France would bounce back. But I definitely

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: wasn't smart enough to know that Gobert wouldn't be starting,

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: or Fournier wouldn't be starting, or Straslo wouldn't be starting,

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: and yebusal A, Cordonnier and Neila Keina were starting instead. Now,

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: they were doing a great job of guarding the perimeter

76
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: on the Canon team, they were doing a great job

77
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: of guarding Shay. We didn't get a good game from

78
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. That was disappointed. Didn't get a great game

79
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: from lou Dort that was disappointed. But then the bench

80
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: was where I was really surprised, because you know, the

81
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Canada depth is going to be good enough, so when

82
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: they're being or I thought the candidate's depth would be

83
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: good enough because when they're being bullied around, and mattis

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: la Sort was coming off the bench for the French team.

85
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: It was just shoving guys around. He looked monstrous. I

86
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: know in our chat you were saying he looks like

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: a linebacker. Yeah, he looks huge. But the disappointment was

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: really from the bench. Okay, so France wins the second

89
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: chance points, fine, home court advantage. They push everybody around.

90
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: Did some calls go their way? Yeah, that's what happens

91
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: when you push everybody around. Okay, expect it second chance points.

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: But the bench where Jamal Murray needed to do something

93
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: and he wasn't able to win that battle. The bench

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: points in France's favor, was very disappointed. Jamal Murray just

95
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: didn't look like the same guy. He has many baskets

96
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: as turnovers. Three buckets, three turnovers. I don't know who

97
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: that guy was. He didn't look anything like Jamal Murray.

98
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: We needed an Andrew Nemhart game. He had eighteen last game.

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: We needed his freedom to him to just handle the

100
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: ball a little more and score. And you could look

101
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: up and down the roster and say, well, it would

102
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: have been nice to have some of their depth guys

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: like Andrew Wiggins being bigger, you know, good Wiggins being

104
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: bigger than he actually is, playing like it and playing

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: tough or oh, Shae Brissett. I know we're going deep here,

106
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: but it would have been nice to have his minutes.

107
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: The guy played in the NBA Finals as sort of

108
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: that big guy. It would have been nice to see

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: him against Lazorg. But that's all just that's all just

110
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 2: an excuse. It was just disappointing not to see enough

111
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: fight from this Canadian team, not from the get go,

112
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: because we'll get through all these games and we saw

113
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: big leads from every team that didn't expect that we

114
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: didn't expect to win, but to not get that fight

115
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: back was disappointing. So that's what it was like. It

116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: was just it was just sadness trait. It was a

117
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: lot of sadness watching this game.

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, was I mean, the lack of size was kind

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: of the Achilles Heel for Canada coming into the tournament.

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: But I thought Skeets nailed it on Summer of Champions.

121
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: You thought it might be the height of France that

122
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: was going to take them over the edge in this

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: matchup between Wemby and Gobert. You mentioned Gobert only played

124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 1: like four minutes in this game. He apparently hurt his finger,

125
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: may or may not have had surgery on it, but

126
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: it feels like the French Coats Vincent Cole wanted to

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: play a slightly smaller style with one center in there

128
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: and then four quicker guys to be able to switch defensively.

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: I do think Wemby had an impact in this game

130
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: just by being seven foot five and having to draw

131
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: triple teams which would open up driving lanes or maybe

132
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: deter Canada from driving into the hoop. But it was

133
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: really the wide guys in Yabusele and Lasore who were living.

134
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: Under the rim.

135
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: There's just not a guy for the Canadian team who

136
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: was able to handle their physicality. When I'm thinking of

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: notable Canadians, Brandon Clark is kind of the name that

138
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: comes to me as quick enough and strong enough to

139
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: be able to bang with those sort of three slash

140
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: four types. A lot of the Canadian wings are more

141
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: two slash threes. I think that's even the case with Wiggins.

142
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: I just don't know if there's necessarily that player out

143
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: there for Canada. With Clark coming off an injury, maybe

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: he could be that guy going forward. But they just

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: looked very small, and France looked like they knew that

146
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: they had the advantage on the inside, able to grab

147
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: rebounds out of traffic. Lasour was grabbing some incredible four

148
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: guys on him. He somehow gets one hand on the ball,

149
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: brings it to his body, goes to the free throw

150
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: line and knocks him down. You mentioned all the fifty

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: to fifty balls going France's way for the most part,

152
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: but Tom was making some incredible saves. Yabusele was generating

153
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: extra possessions as well, and then they were getting some

154
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: incredible bailout shots. It was Cordinier in the first half.

155
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: The guy could not miss. There were so many times

156
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: when France's offense looked like it was stalling out. It

157
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: looked like Canada had shut things down on the perimeter,

158
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: and this guy just hits a bomb. Then late it

159
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: ended up being Fournier who hit the real dagger for

160
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: the French team. They're hitting it from deep and then

161
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: celebrating like crazy. This guy's of course a Foeba killer.

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: And then yeah, you mentioned it, Jamal Murray, I don't

163
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: know what was happening with this guy. Three for thirteen

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: in this game. Just seven points one assist. You mentioned

165
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the three turnovers he played twenty four minutes, and that

166
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: was the problem to me. I would have liked to

167
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: see Jordi Fernandez give him the hook. You're assuming that

168
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: Murray's gonna be making shots and at him, and his

169
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: shot making kind of cancels out the fact that he

170
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been a part of this Canadian team the

171
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: past couple of years. He doesn't have the chemistry that

172
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: Anemhard or a Nikhil Alexander Walker could have next to

173
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Shay Gilges Alexander, but the shooting never came around. The

174
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: guy could not make a layup in the fourth quarter,

175
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: was turning the ball over like crazy. That was just

176
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: disappointed to see from him because it cut into the

177
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: minutes for Naw and them. Haard just three minutes for

178
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Naw didn't take a shot, Nemhrd fifteen minutes, didn't take

179
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: a shot. Then you had the wing guys dort RJ

180
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Barrett and Dylan Brooks went a combined three of twelve

181
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: from three point line. Shay did his part, but the

182
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: rest of the Canadians didn't really come along with him

183
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: in this one. So I don't know if this is

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Canada is like a two thousand and four Olympics moment.

185
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: The way Team USA had.

186
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: Definitely a bigger disappointment for Team USA back then, losing

187
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: two teams that weren't even metal contenders at the time.

188
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: But it does feel like Canada went as far as

189
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: they did this year. This is still the first time

190
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: they'd made it to the Olympics since two thousand, so

191
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: still a success in my book, but they want to

192
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: be much better.

193
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the expectations were higher this year than they were

194
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: in two thousand and when they lost to France back then,

195
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 2: because they had way more guys around Shay Gills of

196
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: Alexander I felt like than Steve Nash had back then.

197
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, Wiggins didn't show up for whatever reason. They

198
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: made that deal with the Golden State. It would be

199
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 2: nice to see Zach Edy here in the future, just

200
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: because he is bigger. I think o'she Brissette would have

201
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: made a difference like he did in the finals a

202
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: little bit for the Celtics against the MAVs. But the

203
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray thing was supposed to be the answer, supposed

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: to be the key fourth quarter. This guy, this guy

205
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: who's won a championship. But I mean it's sort of

206
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: like the playoffs from this year for Jamal Murray right now,

207
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: because in the playoffs he came back late before the

208
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: playoffs and Michael Malone, head coach and the Nuggets, was

209
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: so excited, look at this guy. He's back. He's Jamal Murray,

210
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: so he should be back to himself. But he wasn't

211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: great in the postseason. Then it is a little different

212
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: here when it comes to the tournament. But he missed

213
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: a lot of the game's pre tournament and then in

214
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: the tourney, you know, he hasn't had a lot of

215
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: history as well with Canada playing recently anyways, he hasn't

216
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: played for them for a long time. So then he

217
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: just looked he looked poor. He didn't look like himself,

218
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: as you said, I mean, he really was. He was

219
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: throwing bombs at his own team the way he was like,

220
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: he just didn't know what to do at times, you know, overpassing.

221
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: It just didn't look like Jamal Murray. So those were

222
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: those were heartbreaking for sure. Yeah, and it is a

223
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: lot more heartbreaking than in two thousand. Yeah, it's different

224
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: than the USA coming in thinking they should win by

225
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: twenty five each game and losing to Puerto Rico back

226
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: then and Lithuania. But yeah, this ain't it. This ain't it.

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: This ain't the two thousand Canada team because Canada has

228
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: so many good players now, so it's the expectations are

229
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: definitely higher and just super super disappointing.

230
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

231
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I saw Eric Karan over at the Athletic mentioned that Nash,

232
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: after losing in the two thousand Olympics to France, never

233
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: made it back and played in another Olympics game. I

234
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to be the case for this

235
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Canadian team, but it does feel like for them to

236
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: reach their final form, to reach their peak, they need

237
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: to figure out a way for Shae and Jamal Murray

238
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: to figure out how to play off each other. You know,

239
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: Shay is going out there looking to score for the

240
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: most part. Murray needs somebody to create for him a little.

241
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: I felt like he was just kind of waiting for

242
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: things to happen, and then when it was his turn

243
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: to try and cook, he couldn't necessarily get into his

244
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: bag like he wanted to. So I think there is

245
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: a level up for those two guys to go playing

246
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: alongside each other.

247
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: Ash what'd you think. I know you were watching this game.

248
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: We're all pulling for Canada, so you know, at least

249
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to make it to the gold medal game where they

250
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: could lose to the US.

251
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 4: But we were pulling for him in this one. What

252
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 4: was the takeaway for you?

253
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 5: The main takeaway was I was just wrong. You know,

254
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: Monday Show, I came I here talking about Canada. I'm like, well,

255
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 5: of course they're the favorites. They should be the favorites.

256
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 5: They have SGA, they have a whole thing. And then

257
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 5: at the end of the conversation we mentioned Jamal Murray

258
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 5: and I was like, hey, it's Jamal Murray.

259
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: He is a champion.

260
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: He's got to show up at some point, right, he

261
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 5: can't just continuously play bad over this entire tournament.

262
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: Well, I was wrong. He comes out, he stinks it up.

263
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 3: Like you guys are talking about what is it?

264
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 5: Is it just because he came in and he was

265
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: a little bit injured from the playoffs through the summer

266
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: to now?

267
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: Is it the chemistry? Is it all the above?

268
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: We don't necessarily know, but he just did not look

269
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 5: great at all. He looked really bad. And then you know,

270
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 5: if you didn't watch the game and you come in

271
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: you see friends wins, You're probably like, oh, well, Wimby

272
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: just dominated the whole game. Of course he had his

273
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: fingerprints all over the game. But you guys are right

274
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 5: like it was it was Fourgnier if he be Fournier

275
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 5: at the end of the game, it was coordinary. It

276
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 5: was Yabusele, all these other guys that I don't even

277
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: know if we mentioned them in our preview on Monday

278
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 5: either that just showed up because they hit shots, they

279
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 5: were ready to go. That in front of the home crowd,

280
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: had to defend the home court as if it was

281
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 5: playoff time in the NBA.

282
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: They're just ready to go.

283
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: And I don't know, it was just really disappointing to

284
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 5: see all the guys come out for Canada and not.

285
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: Be able to help Sja at at all. Like RJ.

286
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 5: Barrett played okay, but the rest of the guys, all

287
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 5: the ones that we've raved about to the tournament, just

288
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: saying even Dylan Brooks, Hey look at Dylan Brooks. He's

289
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: playing well in FEBA basketball. No, and nobody showed up.

290
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I don't know what the problem

291
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 5: was for Canada.

292
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do need to mention RJ. Barrett because he

293
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: did carry forward what he was doing in group play.

294
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: He was awesome in group play, and he was really

295
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: good in this game, and he was being that perfect

296
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: complimentary guy. It was just weird to see this offense

297
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: get pretty stanknit around Shay, and Shay was good. But

298
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: obviously the French defense going a little bit smaller, even

299
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: though it was Gershwan could boose Sale. I mean that

300
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: guy is Montros. That guy is huge, like six eight

301
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: two sixty. He couldn't do what he did yesterday for

302
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: Boston when he was back in the league, so he's

303
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: he's moved on. But man, the perimeter defense was great,

304
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: uh by Gordon Ye, by Cabo salle By. That team

305
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: was just they were There's lots of lots of butt

306
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: watching in this game. It didn't butt didn't look as

307
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: big in the white shorts, I will say, but man,

308
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: that guy was awesome. They were awesome. Obviously that guy

309
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: was awesome.

310
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: And I also feel like Kabo Sele had a grin

311
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: from ear to ear for ninety five percent of this game.

312
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: There were some moments, mostly when RJ. Barrett started cooking

313
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, where it got a little closer

314
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: and Yabu Salle went to like a stone face for

315
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: a while there, but then he hit a big three

316
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: from the top of the key and it was grin

317
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: mode from there on until forty eight hit one.

318
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: Yabu Sele was awesome to watch.

319
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: There was that play where like they were just overplaying Wemby,

320
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: so it ended up being Dwight Powell caught him on

321
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: the perimeter, just a quick blowby for a two hand dunk.

322
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: The guy didn't have a ton of moments in the NBI.

323
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: I am most familiar with him from the picture from

324
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: his time with the Celtics where you are looking at

325
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: his gigantic taboose. But they say listen at six eight

326
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: two sixty. During the game, they were saying six eight

327
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: two seventy one, if he doesn't make it back to

328
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: the NBA, you can at least play left tack.

329
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: What a piece.

330
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: Are really disappointing, Jamal Murray, I know we we mentioned

331
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: him at the end of our preview. I thought, just

332
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: watching his last game against Spain where he hit two baskets,

333
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: I started to believe maybe just scuz I'm just optimistic,

334
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: But seeing him score four points, I thought Okay, here

335
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: it comes, and I just wonder what happens with the

336
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: contract extension that he's eligible to sign. What are they

337
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: gonna do? Are they just gonna go, here you go,

338
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: here comes the truck. You want us a championship along

339
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: with Jokic, Like it has been rumored to be ready

340
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: for him to sign. It sure feels that way, But

341
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he really hasn't been great for the last

342
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: couple months, and maybe it is an injury, and maybe

343
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: that's it, but it just was really weird to see

344
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: you Mal not being able to just do his thing

345
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. I guess it's the body just

346
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: not not being right, because that really did not look

347
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: like the capable player he is. It looked at the opposite.

348
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it really just looked like he was just

349
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: stumbling and bumbling out there.

350
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, he looked like he was guessing.

351
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: But I assume we will see Canada back in the

352
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: Olympics in twenty twenty eight, though I assume they'll have

353
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: to qualify for it as well, just like they had

354
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: to do going through this time. The only other takeaway

355
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: I got from this game I heard Nora talking on

356
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: Summer of champions that she was recording skeets throughout the game,

357
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: assuming Canada was going to be making a comeback in

358
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they did get it a little

359
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: bit closer. Obviously the comeback and end up paying off.

360
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: So somewhere out there there's a sad speet that he said,

361
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: we got to wait a little bit before it gets dropped.

362
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm looking forward to seeing that one because

363
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: that guy was talking so much trash to me about

364
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Canada beating the exhibitions.

365
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: Didn't ye early with that.

366
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that.

367
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: But still a fun game between these two. Isaiah Cordinier,

368
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: he's back, baby. He looks completely different than when he

369
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: was drafted by the Hawks. I thought he was gonna

370
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: look like Kelly Oubrey junior, and now he looks like

371
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Mike James. Never expected that. Maybe The game of the

372
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: day though, was the Serbian team going past Australia thanks

373
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: to Nakola Jokic in overtime. Ended up being ninety five

374
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: to ninety for me, game of the tournament so far.

375
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: Australia gets out to a huge lead. They scored twenty

376
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: straight in the first quarter, had a twenty four point

377
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: second quarter lead, but I couldn't believe I got a

378
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: chance to say. First half leads aren't real at the Olympics,

379
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: very rare. Serbia storms back in the second half behind

380
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Jokic making plays, grab an offensive rebounds. They take a

381
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: nice lead, but the Boomers aren't done. They're down seven

382
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: with a couple of minutes left, but Paddy Thrills comes

383
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: through with the Mills magic, hitting the midi with two

384
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: seconds left to force overtime. In overtime, however, Serbia had

385
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic and Australia didn't. With Australia up one just

386
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: under two minutes left, Jokic blocks Paddy mills shot off

387
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: the rim. Jokic then turns the ball over, but gets

388
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: back and gets the steal off Paddy. He follows that

389
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: defensive play up with a hook over Dwop Brief got

390
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: the defensive rebound on the other end, hits the Somber

391
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: shuffle fade away cash with twenty five seconds left, Serbia

392
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: up three. The slob Wizard comes in to inbounds the

393
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: ball for Australia and turns it over. It's Joe or

394
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: Serbia advancing to the semi finals over Australia.

395
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: Great game task. I'd you like watching this one.

396
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. I can't help but laugh at Josh

397
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: Kitty's nickname of slob Wizard. That was in a incredible

398
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: game period. You're totally right game of the tournament to

399
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: watch Australia come out and hit sixteen of their first

400
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: nineteen shots to go up twenty four points at some point.

401
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: But Serbia getting great performances aside from yokichin Bogdanovic names

402
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: that we didn't say when it came to the preview

403
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: to see guys like Ivramovich, Dobrich, Goudurich, and Mitsch, we

404
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: said his name for sure, all double figures in regulation,

405
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: all four of those guys to go along with Yoki. Yeah,

406
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 2: he ended up having twenty one, but it wasn't takeover Jokic.

407
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: He wanted those guys. Those guys were running the offense

408
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: a lot of the time and he was just being

409
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 2: the sort of the secondary playmaker. So what performances from

410
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: those guys to get them to a point? Like you said,

411
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: that ball that he hit off the rim was so key,

412
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: but it was also Paddy Mills missing a layup to

413
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: put that ball off the rim. Like he got Jokic

414
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: outside a minute forty five left to o t one

415
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: on one and he went right by him and he

416
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: had a layup attempt. They would be up three points

417
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: if that ball didn't just roll off the rim or

418
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: bounce up and it was going to go in. I

419
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: should mention that. But it hit the rim and it

420
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: looked like that ball was going in, but Jokic just

421
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: took it out, which was an extremely smart play. But

422
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: what a finish because then Jokic loses the ball at

423
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: the other end, Paddy gets the steal. Then Patty at

424
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: the other end loses the ball. Jokic gets the steal,

425
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: then he hits that beautiful hook shot, then he hits

426
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: a fade away and it's a three point lead for

427
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: Serbia and all is done. So it was just an

428
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: incredible game both ways to watch for forty eight minutes, No,

429
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: not forty forty five. I guess this was the first

430
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: overtime game in the Olympics this year.

431
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 4: That we had France versus Japan.

432
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: That's four point play for sure. Yeah, four amazing. I mean,

433
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: this was just so fun period. I like to see

434
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: Patty Mills.

435
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: Throw back.

436
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Patty, this was threddible man. That guy could not miss

437
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: a shot in the first half, and you could tell

438
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: that he was feeling it too, because some of the

439
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: shots he were taking defenders draped all over him, fading away,

440
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: having to put a ton of arc on the ball,

441
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: knocked in what he finished with twenty six points. I

442
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: believe Giddy finished with twenty five. Both of them had

443
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: moments where they looked unstoppable and then moments where they

444
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: just could not get their offense going. As a definite

445
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: tail of two halves kind of game, because in the

446
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: first half, Serbia was turning the ball over like crazy,

447
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: generating wide open three point looks that they couldn't knock down,

448
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: which is then leading to runouts for Australia in transition,

449
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: and that's really where they thrive. In the second half,

450
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: it was Australia turning the ball over all the time.

451
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Serbia then starts making their three pointers, which turned the

452
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: game into more of a half court game. And when

453
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: that's the case, I thought Serbia had the advantage having

454
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Jokic and having Bogdanovich. Though bogdn didn't have a great game,

455
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: there were definitely times where it felt like Serbia was

456
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: forgetting about Jokic. And Australia was able to make their come.

457
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: But I was really impressed with all the role players

458
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: for Serbia as well, in particular Ivramovich, who I thought

459
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: his energy really changed the game in the second half.

460
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: He was driving to the hoop, finishing layups, but also

461
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: bringing it defensively against Gidey and against Patty Mills. Really

462
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: really fun game. McVeigh was big in the fourth quarter.

463
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Patty Mills awesome throwback. But sometimes one team has the

464
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: MVP and the other team doesn't. Jokic put the team

465
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: on his back and said we're going to the semi.

466
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 2: He made enough of those plays at the end there

467
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: and Patty missing that that layup hurt. I thought Patty

468
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: was going to slow down at some point in this

469
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: game because he is thirty five. He's turning thirty six soon.

470
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: And to see him hit his only shot of the

471
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, ending up tying this game to send it

472
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: to overtime, it was freaking ridiculous. That was such a

473
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: great shot. He took his time somehow, he's kind of

474
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: lost the ball right before the buzzer went off, and

475
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: he bangs at home a pretty shot. Everything good there

476
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: in the factory. Whoa there's shade JD. Yeah, flag here,

477
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: thank you, jad you very very funny. He is just

478
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: always putting it work no matter what's happening. So to

479
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: see Patty be able to do that his first basket

480
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: of the four, I just thought he was gonna slow

481
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: down at some point because he was hitting everything. And

482
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: then yeah, right at the end of overtime, I guess

483
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: is where he slowed down, because he just rolled it

484
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: off the rim. But also, Josh Gitty is such a

485
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 2: weird character to watch at times, like he is more

486
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: comfortable now in an Australia uniform and he will be

487
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: in Chicago then he wasn't okay, see, just because he

488
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: handles the ball more, and so I think he's going

489
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: to be that type of player in Chicago dropped twenty five.

490
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: But he is also going to be the player that

491
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: I think leads the NBA social media stats in two

492
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: different ways, like sensational moments like he hit that one

493
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: legged with a couple of minutes left, and regulation like yeah,

494
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: tough shots, but also what the moments. There's gonna be

495
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: a lot of those moments for Josh Kitty. He had

496
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: seven turnovers in this game that first one, like a

497
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: minute in he fell down and the ball went out abouts.

498
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: So there's gonna be both of those that he's gonna

499
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: lead the stats on social media, he's gonna be doing that.

500
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: He does both, and really I couldn't. I didn't know,

501
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: like all these floaters were gonna go down down, forget

502
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: like every single one it felt like for Josh Giddy.

503
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: So there was lots of good things for Australia. That

504
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: was such a great performance. I mean, we talked about

505
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: this team as a potential metal team a little bit,

506
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: but Serbia obviously is neck and neck with them. So

507
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: this was awesome to watch.

508
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really fun. Giddy was hooping and then

509
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: there were a lot of times when he was the

510
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: opposite of but esh, you see Bog down Bogdanovic go

511
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: off in this Olympics. You see what Patty Mills can do.

512
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: Could the Atlanta Hawks have the best fever of the

513
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: basketball team in the NBA?

514
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 2: Right?

515
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: Well, Patty Patty left the Hawks. Remember he went to

516
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 3: the Hawks. Bogy. You know, we were big Bogie believers

517
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: down here in the A so got to keep him

518
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 3: on the squad.

519
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: But uh, I think I saw what don't forget the Dicon,

520
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: daniels Man and Daniels forget about stuff some weak side steals,

521
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: Like that's what the Hawks need. He's just gonna play

522
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: defense all year long.

523
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 5: They definitely need defense. But boy, we can talk about

524
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 5: the Hawks all day. But I think I saw Zach

525
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: Harbor tweet Josh Giddith and Josh take it away.

526
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 3: It's funny, funny tweet just because you're right.

527
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 5: I mean we of course Paddy Mills is a story

528
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 5: for Australia, but Josh Giddy, even though the turnovers are

529
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 5: also a story, like huge imprint on the game obviously,

530
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 5: like they don't have the lead, they're not even in

531
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 5: the game after they lose the lead in the end

532
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 5: of the game.

533
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: If it's not for Josh Giddy, I believe so.

534
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, you got to kind of give him

535
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 5: his praise, but you're right, he gives it right back

536
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 5: with with turnover after turnover, even the inbound play at

537
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 5: the end of the game, like what are you doing?

538
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: Just not even a great pass kind of got it.

539
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 5: I don't understand what was happening. I just kind of

540
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 5: feel bad for the guy because Australia. I think we

541
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 5: talked about it on Monday Show is just I thought

542
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: they were just a bit deeper, a more complete team

543
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 5: all around. And but I think you nailed it when

544
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 5: when even though you might have all the players whoever

545
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 5: you got on your team, if you don't have somebody

546
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 5: like Yo Kisch.

547
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: The MVP of the league, there's nothing really you can do.

548
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: So I think Jock Landell fouling out and not being

549
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 5: a part of overtime kind of is a big deal.

550
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 5: You know, maybe he didn't guard your kids as great

551
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 5: as maybe task was hitting that from the Phoenix Suns

552
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 5: playoff days, but he had a pretty decent game and

553
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: just not having that size out there in the overtime period,

554
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: I think it was a big blow for Australia not

555
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 5: being able to kind of get some of the boards

556
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 5: and help put the game away or keep it.

557
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, if Landale.

558
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't think necessarily Landale stopping Jokic in those situations there,

559
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: but I think he at least has a better chance

560
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: than Dwapreath did. Yokich at one point had a rebound

561
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: where he just grabbed it with one hand, never touched

562
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: it with the other ones, and put it right back up.

563
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: I thought only my friend Adam Hansen had that against

564
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: grown men, but apparently Jokic can pull it off as well.

565
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: I got a I can't really drag Giddy or Patty

566
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: Mills that much for this one, because they really carried

567
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: this Australia team. I guess they combined for what fifty

568
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: one of their ninety points. They were generating the generating

569
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: the majority of the offense for this team, and with

570
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: Landale not being able to produce like he has so

571
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: far in the Olympics, great game for Australia to keep

572
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: it close, but man, they got to be kicking themselves.

573
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: Twenty four point lead in the first half and it

574
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: was almost gone. It was gone by like the third quarter,

575
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: right like in the middle of the third quarter. That's

576
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: a pretty quick way to make back twenty four points

577
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: in a FOBA game, especially anything else from this gang Bass.

578
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: No, there's a lot of disappointment from the as he said, yeah,

579
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: the way Jock Landel just gave the other team a foul,

580
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: I mean it just just fouled Jokic like early in

581
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: this game, to put him into foul problems, like because

582
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: you only get five and you get ejected and you're

583
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: done in this game. So that was a weird one.

584
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: But obviously so many guys like Will Magne doing a

585
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: good job against Jokichen. Then yeah, Landel got his last

586
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: few minutes against Yo Kitchen the regulation. He poked one

587
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: away from a three and a half left and they

588
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: doubled them. But they just they got so many great efforts,

589
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: they just they just couldn't out. They had so many

590
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: guys doing great things, except for Josh Green, which is

591
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: really weird. He had a bad, bad tournament. He didn't

592
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: play yesterday because he's been playing so poorly.

593
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now that we got the USA flag, we

594
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: can actually talk about Team USA, who took care of

595
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: business against Brazil. Had a twelve point lead at the

596
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter. Brazil got it to eight

597
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, but Team USA stretched it out

598
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: from there for the one hundred and twenty two to

599
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven victory to advance to the semi finals. Eighteen

600
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: for Devin Booker, seventeen for Anthony Edwards, fourteen for dwell Embiide.

601
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: In just twelve minutes, Kevin Durant became USA's all time

602
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: leading scorer. Lebron got four stitches on his face and

603
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I turned this game off after.

604
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: The three Yeah, totally, this was totally I'm done game.

605
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: This was the least exciting game of all four. You know,

606
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: before the tournament, all the talk was is this team

607
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: or the Dream Team of nineteen ninety two better? And

608
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: the main argument was, well, the Dream Team was playing

609
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: teams that just weren't developed, weren't as strong as they

610
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: are now, And that is totally true. But now watching

611
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: this team winning games by nearly twenty five points, that's

612
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: a heck of a number, a heck of a difference

613
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: thus far. Two to go, which will be the tougher ones.

614
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: And I know the Dream Team won by about forty

615
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: four points per game, But yeah, the rest of the

616
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: world has gotten better. But the USA was just ready

617
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: in the first I'm sure I'm sure they knew that

618
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: Serbia was down twenty four earlier in the day, Cana

619
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: was down nineteen earlier in the day, Germany was down

620
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: twelve earlier in the day. No problem, they you know,

621
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: those teams had to come back, and US just came

622
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: out in the first quarter and said we ain't doing that.

623
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: The three point shooting was awesome, being able to shoot

624
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: like nearly fifty percent from three and if they can

625
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: do that like they did coming into this game, what

626
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: is the other team gonna do that? Really, the headlines

627
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: are as you just said, I mean, the exciting things

628
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: to talk about are Lebron stitches. Unfortunately the for that

629
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: old guy running the point. This guy is their point guard.

630
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: He's thirty nine fricking years old. He's playing against Brazil's

631
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: Marcellino her Wheritas, who's forty one. That's eighty years starting

632
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: point guards really had to head those guys Lebron. He

633
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: was asked about it after the game, he just said,

634
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: I'm ready to play the semifinals. Man, we got to

635
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: go win that goal. So these guys are just focused

636
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: to win it. And that's why they destroyed destroyed Brazil.

637
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: Though it was nice to see Bruno score twenty four.

638
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: That was good for him.

639
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't Bill.

640
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I saw some reports in that Bruno scored twenty four,

641
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: but the box score says thirty and some other reports

642
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: scored thirty, and like I said, I turned it off

643
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: after the third quarter, so I don't know how many

644
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: he ended up with. But Bruno was the only one

645
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: really doing anything for Brazil. He's only twenty eight years old.

646
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if a team in the NBA decides to

647
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: take a chance on Bruno Koboclo because he's solid, He's

648
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: in the prime of his career right now. He can

649
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: score inside. He hit some three pointers in their last

650
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: group play game. I don't know if that's necessarily a

651
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: strength of his game. We're gonna get to a top

652
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: five here and not too long, but I'm thinking the

653
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: next top five tests will be former NBA players who

654
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: deserve a second shot because they've improved playing overseas. I

655
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: would say Bruno is in the mix. Gershan, you I

656
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: think has to get a phone call from somebody. I

657
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know who else, so let us know in the

658
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: stream team, but maybe a Bonga, maybe a Papa Giannis.

659
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: I like that guy.

660
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: An international play. There's another pop up for Grease Nikolau

661
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: as well.

662
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: Call him back. Let Eric Reid say his name a

663
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: few times. I don't know.

664
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: There are some players out there who've played well enough

665
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: in this tournament that I think they could get a

666
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: call from an NBA team, and Bruno is at the

667
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: top of the list for me. As for the USA,

668
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with Devin Booker. You mentioned the

669
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: three point shooting. He hit five of them. Scored eighteen points,

670
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: the most on the team for Team USA, and I

671
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: was happy to see that for him because to me,

672
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: Booker has been the guy who has been the best

673
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: for USA so far, turning the volume down on his game,

674
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Like he's really become a role player for this team.

675
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: He runs in transition, he shoots wide open threes, and

676
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: he moves the ball. He's had really good assist numbers

677
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: throughout this tournament, but in this game he had to

678
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: be a scorer.

679
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: He put up a ton of points.

680
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: And like you're saying, the three point shooting for the US,

681
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: if they're hitting threes, they're a really really tough team

682
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: to beat, especially looking forward. Serbia is a streaky three

683
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: point shooting team. You saw that against Australia. Great in

684
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 1: the first half. I was happy to see Devin Booker

685
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: for sure.

686
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: It was good to see Anthony Edwards come off the

687
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: bench with another seventeen point. The thing is this bench,

688
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: when they come off and they want to play NBA ball,

689
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 2: that's where it's going to be their game to lose.

690
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: Really if they don't play well coming off the bench,

691
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: adds to me, the only way that Serbia is going

692
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: to win. We'll get to that in a second. But

693
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: Edwards now leads the lead or at least the team

694
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: in scoring, I should say, and he's going to be

695
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: the redeemed team. Dwayne Wade, I think like leading the

696
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 2: team in scoring even though he's coming off the bench.

697
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: And speaking of Dwayne Wade, he did say earlier while

698
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: he was calling a game in this tournament, I think

699
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 2: we talking about the Utah Jazz have a ten day available,

700
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: why don't we sign this guy? He's throwing them out there.

701
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: So maybe he says that for Bruno Koboco. I don't know,

702
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: but I should say I should call my mistake and

703
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 2: say that I thought Dwayne Wade was done for calling games,

704
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 2: but he was calling games on this day. I guess

705
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 2: when he said that, I'm gonna quote Papa Nicolau out

706
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: of here he said he was done. I guess he

707
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: was just talking about Leela, France and he was going

708
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: to going to the big city because the tournament moved

709
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: to Paris. But yeah, he was he was having fun.

710
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: I saw some photos there. I guess he was just

711
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 2: ready to have fun. And I guess I was starting

712
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: to question because there were some some events where NBA

713
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 2: players went to and Olympic players went to, and I thought, well, yeah,

714
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: maybe they're gonna party and and not be focused. Yeah,

715
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: I'm an idiot. Obviously they're ready. They were super duper ready,

716
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: and they're ready for the semi finals.

717
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dwayne Wade was back in the mix. At one point, Anthony.

718
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: Davis hit a layup, Dwayne Wade calls out jelly. It

719
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: was a pretty fancy layup, you know. And then they

720
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: started talking about if him and Noah Eagle preferred strawberry

721
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: or grape jelly. Noah Eagle, he's a strawberry guy, but

722
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade was raised on grape. They were talking about this,

723
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: and my girls were like, why are they talking about

724
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: food right now? It wasn't even that big of a

725
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: blowout at this point, but you can tell which way

726
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: it was trending. I thought that was hilarious. Task Astra,

727
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: you guys, strawberry or grape guy.

728
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 3: Here's my hot take. I'm not a big jelly fan.

729
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that big jelly.

730
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: Peanut butter and honey sand which.

731
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 5: Never really ate peanut butter and jelly, And I mean

732
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 5: I like some peanut butter, maybe with like a reeses

733
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 5: or something, or peanut butter cracker.

734
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 3: But you're a jelly guy.

735
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: All right, so no jelly for a I'm the opposite

736
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: of Dwayne Wade. I think it sounds like he's always

737
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: had grape growing up. Then I've always had strawberry, so

738
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm definitely definitely team strawberry. I got these new protein bars.

739
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 2: They have peanut butter and strawberry jam in them. Righty,

740
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm ready for them.

741
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there we go. That's all right.

742
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, I was probably a grape as a kid,

743
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: and now that I'm a grown up, I would choose strawberry.

744
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: But if I'm choosing, I'm definitely going raspberry jam, Bone Memms,

745
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: raspberry jam, a little CD, a little crunchy, but still delicious.

746
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid had his best game in this one. Fourteen

747
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: points in twelve minutes, hit three threes, did a DX

748
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: crotch job that he's worried he'll get fined by the

749
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: NBA for I don't know if it's allowed in international play.

750
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: And then I'm convinced. Lebron was playing left handed in

751
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: this one. His first basket was a left handed layup

752
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: on the right side of the hoop. His first three

753
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: assists were all dishes with his left hand. Eventually got

754
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: popped in the face by Depolla. There got four stitches.

755
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't think to Lebron play in the second half.

756
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Embiid, I know didn't play in the

757
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: second half. They said he had a minor rolled ankle.

758
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: But it should be good to go in the semi

759
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: final Serbia.

760
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: That he I got a couple assists in the second

761
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: half like he had or maybe just one. He had

762
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 2: eight in the first half because he was awesome. It

763
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 2: is awesome to see. Yeah, the Olympic bench jumping up

764
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: for him when he's laying it in with his left

765
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: hand or when he gets hit by the head in

766
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: the head like they are. They're definitely supporting him. And

767
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're supporting Joel Embiid's d X

768
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: symbol or whatever that is, the triple H symbol. I'm

769
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: more of a triple H guy. Here's the question, d

770
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: X or triple H. I'm triple H. I don't know.

771
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 4: Did he was he was he a DX the same guy?

772
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

773
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: He was.

774
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 4: He was the head of d X.

775
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: Him and.

776
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 4: And mister hass really good.

777
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: That's a good nickname, the calling gersha on the dancing bear,

778
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: the entirety of the get in this game.

779
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 4: But I think mister totally.

780
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hilarious to doing that thing that he

781
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: usually does in the NBA in the Olympics because everybody

782
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: boos him and he's just ready to do it. Asia

783
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 2: Wilson was great. Her reaction. She's sitting courtside, her reaction

784
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: to Joel Embiid, Oh my god, what is he doing?

785
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: Joel Ebid's got his family in the arena who was

786
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: cheering for Brazil apparently because his wife is Brazilian. It's

787
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: funny to read all these things here after the game.

788
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: But this was something we did talk about in the preview,

789
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: about Joel Embiid having his best game in the last

790
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: game of the group play and seeing it that rude

791
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: roll in to elimination time, and it did. He was

792
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: fourteen and seven, as you said, Trey in twelve minutes

793
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: and now he gets to play Jokic, so that'll be fun.

794
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, need his best game of the entire season, the

795
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: entire team USA season, I think in the semi finals.

796
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: But we got one more quarterfinal game to take care

797
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 4: of it. Was the early bird special.

798
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: Grease gets out to a double digit lead against Germany

799
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, but then the German team locked

800
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: in and locked down, holding to Greece to fifteen, sixteen,

801
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: and eleven points in each of the last three quarters.

802
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: As Germany advances to the semi finals. Test did you

803
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: follow through on your pledge watch?

804
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it was there we go. It wasn't too

805
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: hard to get up for this Greek team in their

806
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: their final game. And check out those beautiful blue jerseys.

807
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: I gotta check where they sell these things if I

808
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: can buy one, because I'm ready?

809
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: Are they They're hard to get at least according to

810
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: Brian Windhorse at the Hoop Collective. He was doing a

811
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: merch report from at least the LEO Games in France

812
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: and said, all the merch there is trashy team gear,

813
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: so we might have to hop on Nike dot com.

814
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: It was. It was great to see the Grease get

815
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: out to that double digit lead to start, and they

816
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: start a new guy in Mittauglu who was trying to

817
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 2: slow down the Germany team. They knew that they had

818
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 2: to just lessen the possessions a little bit and play

819
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: a little bit bigger and him and Yannis were passing

820
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: it the little a little interior passing for them. But yeah,

821
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: Grease couldn't hit those threes. They did struggle. They were

822
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: the worst team shooting the three in this tournament. They

823
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: do need some guard help. Would be great to find

824
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: somebody to help out Yiannis. It was just a little

825
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 2: disappointing in the end, but the German team just showed

826
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: up and they had guys coming off the bench like

827
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 2: Nick wiler Bab I didn't think i'd be saying that,

828
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: but he splashed that three the drive. I mean he

829
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: barely scored the last two games, but was really key

830
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: in this game. You see teams doing that, so I

831
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: know us are are doing our research, like we Mike

832
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: Srzewsky like number eight past it's a number twelve. Like

833
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: maybe we don't know every single name, but I'm sure

834
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 2: the coaches now are because you got like Eazac Bonga

835
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 2: playing really well. He's a guy who should be getting

836
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: another contract in the NBA. I mean he's good. He

837
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: started the second half of this team. Yeah, they were

838
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: just there, beautify. They're they're a really good team. And

839
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: I know Franz he was struggling shooting threes, but he

840
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 2: splashed one home twenty one percent coming in, but then

841
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: he hit that big one. Because they just hit shots.

842
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 2: They hit enough shots from the perimeter, and I know

843
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 2: Greece hit a few of those, like Nick Lethas splashes three.

844
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: But they need some guard. Hey guard help for Yannis

845
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 2: in this tournament and in this particular game. So nothing

846
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: nothing unexpected in this game. Germany is just a damn

847
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: good team. Like we talked about, they just they just

848
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 2: play their roles really well.

849
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: Germany knows exactly what they're doing. They've been together with

850
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: the same team for a long time. They to me

851
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: are the two thousand and eight Spanish team. You know,

852
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: a team that is oddly enough led by two brothers

853
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: as well, that has the continuity together, has the roles,

854
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: has the size, knows how to play feba basketball. That's

855
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: why they've been so good so far in this tournament.

856
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: Franz had an awesome game, eighteen points. You mentioned he

857
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: hit a three. I loved his celebration. He came back

858
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: and pulled his shorts way up to show his five. Like,

859
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: hiked his shorts up and showed a showed his spandex

860
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: very cool. Move hasn't shot the ball well uh for

861
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: a year.

862
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

863
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: Basically I think he was one for six from three

864
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: uh in this game. But when you finally knock one down,

865
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: shout out to Johann. We want to see those thighs

866
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: and celebration I got for Germany.

867
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 4: Uh. I like new celebrations.

868
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 5: You know.

869
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: Mondo Duplantis did the Turkish the Turkish sharpshooter celebration after

870
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: winning his gold medal in the pole vault ezac bonga.

871
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: I love his face sucker celebration for three and now

872
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: pulling out your legs. What a weird celebration, but works

873
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: for me. Franz looks good in this one. He's too

874
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: quick for the big guys and he's too tall for

875
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: the small guys. He's a walking mismatch out there. But

876
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: we do have our semi final bracket set starts tomorrow

877
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty am. Eastern France versus Germany should be

878
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: an absolute banger in that one. That's followed by USA

879
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: versus Serbia, the third time they've played this summer. USA

880
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: has handled the first two matchups pretty easily, though you're

881
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: not getting the full Serbian team.

882
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 4: I didn't think in either of those games. That one's

883
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 4: at three o'clock.

884
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Both those games are available on Peacock, and I think

885
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: they said USA Network as well. If you're a cable watcher,

886
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: you got any thoughts on the semi.

887
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 2: Germany and France As you just talked about. Franz Wagner,

888
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: I think is going to be guarded a lot by

889
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: Nicola Batoum. Buttom did a great job against Canada and

890
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: he can do a good job against Denna Shrewder because

891
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 2: he did a good job against Shay. But I think

892
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: taking away Franz will be his task. I wonder if

893
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: they go back to starting Gobert and Wemby versus Tyson

894
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: Wetman TBD. But Germany smoked them in the first round

895
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: there their last game. Germany really destroyed France, so I

896
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: wonder if France just has a bounce back because of that.

897
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: But I think Germany wins just because they're better. I

898
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: think they have they have more to me in the

899
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: way they play. So yeah, I've got them, And as

900
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: far as the Americans go, I am looking forward to

901
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: that matchup. I said about Embiid versus Jo because we

902
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 2: loved it in the NBA. Now we get to see

903
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 2: it in the Olympics, and then when Embiid goes to

904
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: the bench man, they throw out Anthony Davis who has

905
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 2: to guard him as a starter for the Lakers. Now

906
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: he can be off the bench. I'm sure curR is

907
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna start Embiid and then yeah bam. So really it

908
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: is on Jokic and the bigs of Serbia to get

909
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 2: more possession. They got to outposition, out possession the Americans

910
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: more boards and bang threes. Although Serbia hasn't been a

911
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: Serby hasn't been a credible shooting the three ball, So

912
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: that's the answers for me.

913
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're right.

914
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: It's hard to beat a team three times in a row,

915
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: but USA has handled Serbia pretty well. It's kind of

916
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: odd that both of these semi final matchups are rematches

917
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: of games that we've already seen in group play.

918
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 4: France and Germany.

919
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: I guess that was their last game of group play,

920
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: whereas USA Serbia was their first game. I'm gonna take

921
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 1: the same winners from the original, so I'm gonna go

922
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: with Germany and I'm gonna go with the USA, But

923
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: I assume that the point differential will be closer in

924
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: both of those games. What do you think, esh, you

925
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: rolling with Germany USA looking like I would.

926
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 5: Love to say Germany and I'm probably gonna pick them,

927
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 5: But you know, I said the same thing the other

928
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 5: day about Canada being deeper and having a little bit

929
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 5: more experience and all that stuff. But at least with

930
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 5: Germany here they you know, they really got everything figured out,

931
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 5: so they'll probably beat France. And then on the other

932
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 5: side of the things, I heard Joe Varden from the

933
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 5: athletics saying the same thing you're saying. It's hard to

934
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 5: beat a team three times, but it's the USA, so

935
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 5: I feel like they're going to handle it. It'll probably

936
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 5: a lot closer than it was before and both that one.

937
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 5: And did they play in the exhibition before? You said, right, so, yeah,

938
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 5: yeah they did. Hopefully, you know, it'll they'll pull it

939
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 5: out and won't be any scares for US Americans over

940
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 5: here that a team USA is gonna let us down

941
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 5: or anything like that.

942
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to at least see the game be close

943
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you know, so that they have

944
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: to go out and take the win and get the

945
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: win in the fourth quarter, so they're not rolling up

946
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: to play a for instance, a German team in the

947
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: golden medal game. It'll be very similar to like the

948
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: O eight Olympics, where you're getting your best game your

949
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: best opponent in the finals. I mean, obviously that's how

950
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: a bracket works, but uh, it'd be nice to get

951
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: tested a little bit before going up against an incredible

952
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: German side.

953
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 4: It should be fun.

954
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: I think we're playing on getting some playback action in

955
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: am I right, tassy for the USA.

956
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, it'll happen USA Serbia. It's on the

957
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 2: USA network, so I can't wait to watch it on

958
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 2: the USA network. I never watch anything on the USA network, never,

959
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 2: not very often.

960
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: It's I'm like trying to think of a rerun to

961
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: make a joke here, and I can't even think of

962
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: what's on.

963
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 4: They used to say rerun. Do they still have American gladiators?

964
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

965
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 5: All I can think of USA shows like the older ones,

966
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 5: like uh, you know, psych Suits started there, but that's

967
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 5: all Netflix, you know, so there.

968
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can find a punt in there.

969
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 3: Monk was on there?

970
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: I no, no, so ohlik do they have any shows

971
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: that had more than one name?

972
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: One name, like one work, psych.

973
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 3: Suits, monks, necessary roughness. That was a show on USA.

974
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 2: Oh wow yeah, wow wow.

975
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 4: Well from a top four, USA shows that Eshawa can

976
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 4: remember to a top five. Let's go to top five,

977
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 4: top by, top by, top five, top top top five.

978
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: These are your top five NBA players at this Olympics.

979
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on this Olympics. NBA players at this Olympics

980
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 1: who raised their game in international play.

981
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 4: To go through it quickly. Five Kevin Durant.

982
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: Interesting.

983
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: This one's kind of tough since he's, you know, probably

984
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: a top twenty player all time in the NBA, but

985
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: he is the United States best Olympics player, which therefore

986
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: might make him the all time best Olympics player. He

987
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: just passed Lisa Leslie last night to become tam USA's

988
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: all time leading scorer regardless of men's or women's basketball.

989
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: He's got a chance to become the first man with

990
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: four Gold medals playing basketball. He's eighth all time in

991
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: NBA scoring, and I like this tast He's eighth all

992
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: time in Olympics scoring as well.

993
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that list that they showed yesterday to see Oscar

994
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 2: Schmidt managed GERNOBYLI all those names that are ahead of

995
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: Kevin Duran. I just wonder, since Kevin Duran is now

996
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: number one, is he gonna go home or is he

997
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: gonna play in the semifinals in the finals, He's just

998
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 2: gonna go chill because Kevin Durant is just so damn good.

999
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: It was.

1000
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 2: It was awesome to see him come off the bench.

1001
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: He came off the bench in that first game and

1002
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: splash and splash, splash and didn't miss and Steph freed

1003
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: him for that shot before the half. Was Steph's screen moving, Yeah,

1004
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit, But Kevin Duran is just so

1005
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: damn good. He's just it was amazing to see him

1006
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: come off the bench. Like this American team is just

1007
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 2: too damn good At number four.

1008
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: Evan Whoa said all along on all these podcasts that

1009
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: I had Evan forty a fear because he dropped twenty

1010
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: eight on Team USA and the opener to the Tokyo Olympics,

1011
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: and now Canada has their own fourtyer. I will add

1012
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: the Evan has got to be one of the worst

1013
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: players to see cook your national team because the guy

1014
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: doesn't even have an NBA contract right now. He's like

1015
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: barely hanging on as an NBA player, but he is

1016
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: incredible playing for the French team.

1017
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: The four and oh gets hot. It was amazing to

1018
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 2: see him come off the bench against Canada and splash

1019
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: that deep three. It look like the Knicks threes that

1020
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 2: he hit when he got super hot. Yeah, it wasn't

1021
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: a very long run, but he had that incredible game.

1022
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: However many you scored. He just got super hot, so

1023
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 2: it's not surprising when you see it, like like you

1024
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: just said. But at the same time, yeah, he doesn't

1025
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 2: have a contract, very weird, but he also gets super cold,

1026
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 2: so it kind of does make sense.

1027
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can you live with it in Foeba, but

1028
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: in the NBA you're like, there could be another guy

1029
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: out here. But France, you can count on Fournier to

1030
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: hit a big shot when you need him to.

1031
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 4: At number three.

1032
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: Bogdan Bogdanovic is a good sixth man for the Hawks,

1033
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: but he is the man for Serbia. He became Serbia's

1034
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: all time leading scorer and international play during yesterday's game,

1035
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: averaging eighteen and a half per game so far. This

1036
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: is his best and his best NBA season was last year.

1037
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: Scoring wise, he got up to sixteen point nine points

1038
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: per game. Bogdan Bogdanovic number three.

1039
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: On my list, and he's hilarious after the games. He

1040
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: does media at the Olympics and he said, yeah, Jokich

1041
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: isn't doing media because you don't get fined like you

1042
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 2: do in the NBA when you don't do media. He

1043
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 2: does it there because he doesn't want to get fine,

1044
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: but he's not doing it here. And Jokichi literally not

1045
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 2: talking to anybody, but Bogdan doing his job. A couple

1046
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 2: more years with the Hawks on his contract, and you know,

1047
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what the Hawks are going to be

1048
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: doing this next year, but he is. He's a guy

1049
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 2: that every team would love to have.

1050
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 4: Dennis Shruder number two.

1051
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: The guy plays with the same swag in the NBA

1052
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: and in FEBA basketball, but it just hits different for

1053
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: this German team.

1054
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 2: Listen, I am looking forward to watching him in the

1055
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: semi finals as we record this the day before, because

1056
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if he drops a twenty five,

1057
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: or why would you be surprised. I do think the

1058
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 2: French are gonna throw lots of boys at him, including

1059
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 2: Batoom at times. But Dennis Schreuder is deserving of number two.

1060
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 4: Number one.

1061
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: It's Feba Patty Patty Mills of the Australian team, a

1062
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: beloved teammate, a fan favorite in the NBA. He won

1063
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: a title with the Spurs in twenty fourteen, but he

1064
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 1: is basically Michael Jordan when he plays for Australia.

1065
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 4: He scored the.

1066
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: Fifth most points all time. That's second for the Australian

1067
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: national team. Andrew Gays actually is the second all time

1068
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: leading scorer in Olympic basketball. Patty also led Australia to

1069
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: bronze in Tokyo, and that is the only time that

1070
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: the Boomers.

1071
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 4: I have meddled.

1072
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: Well deserving. Patty is phenomenal. I see Pierre Publico here

1073
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: on the stream team asking Janie Janis's only Olympics appearance

1074
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,919
Speaker 2: was this year, So yeah, you got to go somebody

1075
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: with somebody who's been there many many times. But that

1076
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 2: says more about the Greek team, which has dropped off

1077
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: since they're fantastic when over the USA nearly twenty years ago.

1078
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: Thinks have gone bad for them. So this is Yanis's

1079
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 2: first time. I mean the last time they were there,

1080
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 2: he was a kid. So yeah, Patty wins.

1081
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:41,959
Speaker 4: All right, that's the top five.

1082
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: If you somehow made it through this, audible mentions go

1083
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: to guys like Billy Hernan Gomez, Josh Giddy. I forget

1084
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: who the other people in my notes are because I

1085
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: don't want to open the tab because I think it'll

1086
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: make my computer freak out. But there are theres out there,

1087
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 1: and if you made it through this segment, blessings to you.

1088
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 4: We got one last thing to talk about. Test.

1089
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to be able to

1090
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: get through it. But according to Tony Jones, Anthony Slater,

1091
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: and Sean Sharana of the Athletic Lowry, Markinen is going

1092
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: to sign a long term contract extension with the Utah

1093
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Jazz but he did not sign it on August sixth,

1094
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: that is yesterday Tuesday. He could sign it today the seventh,

1095
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, or sometime later on in this this week

1096
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 1: or something like that doesn't really matter at this point.

1097
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: The main thing is that he's going to get a

1098
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: five year, two hundred plus million dollar contract, will be

1099
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: the long the biggest in jazz history, and because of

1100
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: the timing of when he's signing this deal, it means

1101
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: he's not going to be eligible to be traded during

1102
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: the twenty four to twenty five season kind of a

1103
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: no trade clause for one year for Lowry remarking and

1104
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: this is what you thought was going to go down test.

1105
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:58,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, First I thought, why would they do this, Why

1106
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: would they try and fight against an incredible Western Conference?

1107
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 2: Because we know with Lowry Market in they're going to

1108
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 2: be at best, at the very best, a five hundred

1109
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,479
Speaker 2: type team. But there's so many good Western Conference teams,

1110
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 2: so many that they weren't going to be even a

1111
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: playing team with so many good Western Conference teams. But

1112
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,760
Speaker 2: then I thought about it, and I thought, well, because

1113
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 2: there are so many good Western Conference teams, maybe there

1114
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 2: comes a day in the year where those good teams say,

1115
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 2: you know what, we want to get rid of our

1116
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 2: great players. And maybe that's the day that Danny Ainge says,

1117
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 2: we'll take them to pair with Lowry Market and they'll

1118
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 2: be an incredible team. Because I say that because if

1119
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 2: you look at the Western Conference, it's going to be

1120
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: so frickin' hard with OKC with Denver, with Minnesota, with Dallas,

1121
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: with Phoenix, with New Orleans with Sacramento, with Golden State,

1122
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: with Houston, with the Lakers, with the Clippers, it's going

1123
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 2: to be hard, but I mean those teams are getting older.

1124
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: Maybe there is a day when Rob Planka says, you

1125
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 2: know what, Anthony Davis is available, and maybe the Jazz

1126
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: want to want to sneak in there. Maybe there is

1127
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 2: a room for them to pair Loarry market In with somebody.

1128
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: So at the same time, Danny Age is not trading

1129
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: him this year where they probably want to be bad

1130
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 2: for Cooper Flag and they probably will be. But at

1131
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 2: the same time, and maybe it's next year where they

1132
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: you know, they can go in any direction. Larry Marketing

1133
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 2: is still tradeable next year. As you just said. As

1134
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 2: we recorded this, he just signed his contract, so he

1135
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: is not going to be traded this year, but they

1136
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: may come a day where this trade is definitely acquireable.

1137
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 2: I think somebody would want this deal.

1138
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Markinnen signed his extension, he's actually going to

1139
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: be slightly more valuable as a trade asset. Obviously that's

1140
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: not going to be the case for this season, but

1141
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: he's still young enough, such a good player that seems

1142
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: like he fits with a lot of different teams that

1143
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: I assume come next summer we'll hear some more market

1144
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: in trade rumors. But from his perspective, he probably didn't

1145
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: like being on the block, being shopped last trade deadline

1146
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: this offseason. Now he has not only the security of

1147
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: a five year contract, he knows where he's going to

1148
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: be living for at least a year, and apparently he

1149
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: loves being a jazz man as well. My main takeaway

1150
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: from this, other than good stuff for marketing in the Jazz,

1151
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: is what are the Warriors the last big deal that

1152
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: Golden State could make to bump their team up a

1153
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: little this year? Now it's not an option, So I

1154
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I've seen Jeremy Grant's name thrown around. He

1155
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: seems to be the next guy the teams are going

1156
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: to be chasing after. So yeah, we'll see what the

1157
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: Warriors end up doing. You got anything else, tasks or esh?

1158
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: You want to carry this while my computer's for.

1159
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: I got nothing to add. I did not even say

1160
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: that Memphis is part of that really really tough Western Conference.

1161
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to do that, but a stream teamer, optimist,

1162
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: optimistic bulls fan, said you forgot Memphis. Yeah, this Western

1163
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: Conference is absolutely stacked.

1164
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 5: Esh.

1165
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 2: I will say, I think you can just let that

1166
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 2: top five just roll into the podcast form. I think

1167
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 2: you can just roll it, just let it go. It'll

1168
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 2: be fun, it'll be really fun for the listeners out there.

1169
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: But now you got to kind of top five, and

1170
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 2: I don't think you even have to touch There was

1171
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 2: a little a little hitch there in the Lowry markinin talk,

1172
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 2: but I think you can just leave it as far

1173
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: as the podcast goes. Anyways, enough of me just trying

1174
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 2: to edit verbally edit over here.

1175
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 4: I love it well verbally edited.

1176
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, we got we got playback tomorrow for the

1180
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: know that we're talking speed climbing last night.

1181
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: That's a weird time.

1182
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 4: Some skateboard skateboard in a bowl. It was pretty cool

1183
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 4: to watch.

1184
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,960

01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 4: Cool Clipper Burros. You heard it here first. Have a

1191
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 4: great time turn up. Love you guys, awesome, thanks for

1192
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 4: joining us.

1193
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: I remember I got two quotes now just because you're

1194
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 2: reminded me of sport climbing as a sport in the Olympics.

1195
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 2: It's called sport climbing. That's really weird to me. It's

1196
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 2: fun to watch. It's two people racing up a ball

1197
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 2: in the race version. There's another version anyways. That was

1198
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 2: also my other quote. The three x three ball looks

1199
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: like they're playing with the volleyball.

1200
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 4: To me, that's weird.

1201
01:00:58,960 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: It does.

1202
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 4: I embraced the USA people
