6
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: words these last twenty four hours.

00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 3: We got the bearded one, Trey Kirby, Oh hey yo,

Speaker 3: I'm riding?

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, it started innocently enough, quite literally, innocently enough. A

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: train came by where we'd never seen a train before,

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: so slow. We were sitting there forever not proud to

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: admit this, but it's a long enough time that I

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: could blast a gram. Yeah, we had our chances. We said,

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, we're gonna be a little bit late. Skeet,

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: send the message. Don't worry, guys, we're on our way.

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: So we're on our way.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: Yep.

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Coming down into Decatur, we see a ball rolling down

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: the ground. True star child's ball rolling somehow staying in

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: the bike lane be amazing as well.

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: We're like, look at that.

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of rolling, that's what I did through a

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: stop sign. Unfortunately, officer Hellstrom was watching closely, dinged, you, boy,

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: we're rolling that stop sign.

31
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 4: I can't deny it. I was in the wrong. I

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 4: was guilty. Oh my god, ended guilty.

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: Trey Kirby's exchange with the officer was so funny. It

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: was like, Yep, I absolutely did. It.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: Wasn't like Russ when he got pulled over in Friends.

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 5: Was it to try and uh, you should have said

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: officer Hansom. Oh I'm sorry.

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, uh, do you see the stop sign there? Yeah?

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I didn't quite stop.

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: I was like yeah. As soon as we pulled out.

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: As soon as he turned on the road, I said

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: to Skeids, I'm like, look at the look at the

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: glove compartment.

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 4: I need my interns.

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting pulled over here for sure. Not my first

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: ever ticket for rolling the stops. I gotta have a

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: little bit more patience.

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I love. When he went back the officer

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: with his I d I was like, I can't believe you. Actually,

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna say yeah, I rolled through

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: that stop so I was distracted by a colorful ball. Well,

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: I honestly thought you were gonna say it because we

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: sort of were at the time. Really look at that

54
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: and then I don't know if that played a part

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: into rolling ye before, no doubt, but what a weird,

56
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: weird drive in tough one.

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: Tough one. Gotta pay the ticket. Hopefully it becomes available

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: during the podcast. I'll be refreshing the City of Decatur

Speaker 3: I like that test though instantly has like another website

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: you can go to to like reduce the price and

63
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: get out of the point being deducted. I just that's

Speaker 3: We start here though on our Thursday a little tru

84
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: or false guys. Now, look, we're not gonna get to

85
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: every single again. There's a lot of games on last night,

86
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: a lot was happening, but we'll tackle a few of

87
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: the games and storylines coming out of it with a

88
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: little tru or false. First, the Magic edged the Lakers

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: one nineteen one eighteen. They snapped LA's nine game win

90
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: streak and Mark hell Falts big reason why number one

91
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: pick of the twenty seventeen draft, scored twenty one points,

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: grabbed eleven boards, dished out tennisis. He was money down

93
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: the stretch, making things happen, and he caught the attention

94
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: of one Lebron James, who said, it's a parent that

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: False is playing with increased confidence, confidence and that he's

96
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: quote happy as hell for him. So my trure false,

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: It's just it's a late one here. But trure false.

98
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: Like Lebron, you too are happy as hell for Mark

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: hell Falts True?

100
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 5: Why not? What a great performance? I mean, most importantly

101
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 5: for this is the magic get a win in Los Angeles.

102
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: That's one of the toughest places to win all season,

103
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 5: and Fults was instrumental in that. Yeah, he scored some

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: big points. He went at the Lakers, he went inside.

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: If you look in the dictionary for the definition of

106
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: herky jerky game, you would see a picture of Mark

107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: l Fullts. He sort of stops and starts and stammers.

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: He don't know what he's gonna do, but he has

109
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 5: it an ability to sort of just get the ball

110
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: up and knock it in there. But the one really

111
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: solid play came in that in the first half where

112
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: he was driving down. Lebron was there defending him, and

113
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: he just kind of bumped him off and scored the basket.

114
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: I just thought that was a really good solid body control.

115
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: But what he did that with thirty seconds left, I mean,

116
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: you just you just pushed them out of the way

117
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: and scored it.

118
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah. So, I mean it's great because this is the

119
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: sort of game where people are going to look and

120
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 5: see more than just his performance beating the Lakers in

121
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. This is not just beating the Phoenix Suns

122
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: on a Tuesday night when there's twelve games and hey,

123
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: Foot's got a triple double. So this is great for him.

124
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: Good on him, Good on the Magic getting a big

125
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 5: win because they led early, Lakers came back in it,

126
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: and you thought, there's no way the Lakers are going

127
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: to lose this game at home. But eventually, due to

128
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 5: it largely because of Fults, the Magic won.

129
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, ye had the six points. He had four assists

130
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: in that final quarter. A lot of the assists I'd

131
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: like to point out were just of the like here

132
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: shoot a three variety. But that's fine. You know, it

133
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: wasn't him like really penetrating and kicking out. It was

134
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: sort of just passing to a guy that was that

135
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: was hitting a three. But that's fine. But the two

136
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: difficult layups, yeah, those were big in the final Oh

137
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: is this something like forty seconds where he spun baseline

138
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: on the one and then that other one where he's

139
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: saying like he's sort of just like he kept drippling.

140
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: And just sort of kept moving around stop sign, just

141
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 1: kept rolling.

142
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: Yeah and uh, and then got to go over Lebron.

143
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: And if you look at Lebron's reaction as well, he's

144
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 5: kind of like like I didn't know where he was

145
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 5: gonna go, and he sort of.

146
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: Like got oddly screened by his own guy and another

147
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: magic big in there. It was a weird play, but yeah,

148
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: credit to Falts, who just had a really good season.

149
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: This is one of the most you know, underrated or

150
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: at least it's a feel good story of the season.

151
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: Him again looking like a pretty competent player, and the

152
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: magic no DJ Augustine, no Michael Carter Williams, no Foignia,

153
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: even you know, at a guard position. So he was

154
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 3: he was asked to do a lot and he came through.

155
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: And it was impressive to see just the confidence to

156
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: keep driving to the hoop down the stretch in the

157
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter because with the free throw troubles Falts has

158
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: had in the past, with the troubles he's had with

159
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: this shot. It's easy to say I'm not gonna try

160
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: and get fouled, but he was in there mixing it up,

161
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: could have easily gone to the line on the couple

162
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: of those.

163
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, you look at.

164
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: What the Sixers have been missing and you think, wow,

165
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: what if this mark el Foults would have stayed around,

166
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: another guy who can put the ball on the ground,

167
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: get to the hoop, create for others. That would probably

168
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: be helpful for the Sixers. But shout out to Folts.

169
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I would be a lot more happy for him about

170
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: a half hour ago. But un an incredible performance, good job.

171
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would just say that the Lakers need

172
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: another perimeter defender. I think ideally, I think they're still

173
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: looking for Egadella to come join them, just because they'd

174
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: like another guy to not have to put so much

175
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: pressure on Lebron defensively. You know, he had to guard

176
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: the team's best perimeter player and was guarding Folts there,

177
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: I was guarding whoever he needed to guard. But I

178
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: think you know they're they're still making the calls for

179
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: Iggy some way, shape or for him, and they would

180
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: love Iggy on the floor in the last minute to

181
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: come up with big stops, and.

182
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: If Darren Collison is happening, that should be happening somewhat soon.

183
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: He did, going quiet.

184
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yeah, And I guess now that I think

185
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: about it, you know the rumors where it was maybe

186
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: more February ish, late February ish or something like that.

187
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: So I like the Foults was rocking. The Lebron's too,

188
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: doing all of this mind games. Yeah, the reds, the

189
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: red naked Lebron's on his feet having a one of

190
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: the best games of his career. It's funny that it

191
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: was his second triple double, right.

192
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, because he got that as a rookie,

193
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: didn't the last game of the season.

194
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: I think that's correct. Yeah, so this is the second one.

195
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: But he's said, you know, he talked about after the

196
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: game he's like going to be framing the jersey that

197
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: he did, and so he was pretty pumped in Again,

198
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: this is a really good story. Abouns back season for him,

199
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: all right. Next one, Kyrie Irving is back to speaking

200
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: his mind freely, saying it's glaring that the Brooklyn Nets

201
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: have more work to do for their roster to reach

202
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: that level necessary for Championship contention. Here is Kyrie in

203
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: his own words after the game.

204
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: It's glaring in terms of the pieces that we need

205
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 6: in order for us to be at that next level.

206
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna continue to reiterate it. You know, we're

207
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 6: going to do the best with the guys that we

208
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: have within our locker room now. And you know, we

209
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 6: worry about all the other stuff in terms of moving

210
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: pieces and everything else as an organization down the line

211
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 6: in summer, and you know, it's it's just something that

212
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 6: we signed up for. We knew what we were coming

213
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 6: into in the beginning of the season. Guys are going

214
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 6: down left and right for us. You know, GT's out, DJ,

215
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 6: you know got hurt tonight. You know, Wilson's just coming back.

216
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 6: And then we have complimentary you know, young guys as

217
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 6: well that have done a great job for the last

218
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 6: three years. So collectively, I feel like we have great pieces.

219
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: But obviously it's pretty glaring that we need, you know,

220
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 6: one more piece or two more pieces that will compliment myself, Katie, DJ, GT, Spence, Karrison.

221
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see how that evolves. M Kyrie said

222
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: all of this after finishing with fourteen points on six

223
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: for twenty one, shooting in the nets one to seventeen

224
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: to one to six loss two of the seventy six ers,

225
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: Tobias Harris big in that one. So people are freaking out.

226
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: It's Kyrie Irving, you know, saying stuff about his team

227
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: mid season here, saying we need pieces, one or two pieces,

228
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: and how it's glaring that they need to be better.

229
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: But the true or false question I'm asking you, guys, are

230
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: Kyrie's comments here after that loss last night? Are they

231
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: being overblown? They are being overblown? True or false?

232
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think Kyrie Irving is acting the way he

233
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: thinks a superstar should act, and he's playing GM and

234
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: that's how he thinks he needs to wield his power

235
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: and show that he is the alpha dog on this team.

236
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: He's basically saying, yeah, we got to get some guys in,

237
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: some guys out. He needs to put some of his

238
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 2: teammates down in a way like he did in his

239
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics days. He needs to sort of speak that

240
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: way because that's how he thinks a superstar should act.

241
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: So if I am Jared Allen or Torrean Prince or

242
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: Joe Harris, the guys he didn't mention at the end,

243
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: I hope that I can get out of my mortgage,

244
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: or I hope that I'm renting in Brooklyn, because I

245
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: don't think that bodes well for those dudes, because superstars

246
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: do wield that power, and that's the way the NBA is.

247
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: And I think he is, you know, taking the the

248
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: or falling in the footsteps of Lebron and that he

249
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: wants to be the guy who shows that he has

250
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: all that power, and like Lebron did over the front

251
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: office of Cleveland for years, and I think Kyrie's falling

252
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: in those footsteps, and he's falling in the footsteps as

253
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: well of himself, like last year with the Boston Celtics states.

254
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: I think it's very similar and that he may have

255
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: not said, hey, those young guys suck the same way

256
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 2: he did last year.

257
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm paraphrasing, yeah, yeah, they need a seasoned vet right

258
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: last year.

259
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: Yah, it's similar. It's a similar type of stuff, especially

260
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: after six for twenty one night, especially after he's only

261
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: played fourteen games for the team. It's a little bit weird, surprising,

262
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: and that he doesn't just bide his time and see

263
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: how the season goes. He just felt the need to

264
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: say something.

265
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: But isn't this just Kyrie sort of sloppily saying, yeah,

266
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: we need Kevin Durant. Can you not look at these

267
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: comments and just go that's all he's really saying, is

268
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: like that one piece is really KD.

269
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 4: He mentions KD as a guy they have.

270
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they need KD back to be anywhere

271
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: close to what they're doing, But this to me seems

272
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: more like he's saying, once KDE gets back, we still

273
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: need something, which is probably true.

274
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 4: Kyrie is probably right about what.

275
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: He's saying, but like Tessa is saying, the guy's played

276
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: three games since he came back, he missed twenty five games.

277
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: Now, it's not the time.

278
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's why I think things are being

279
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: overblown a little. It's because Kyrie likes to speak his mind,

280
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and when he does so, it's usually kind of a

281
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: weird timing.

282
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: I feel like it is a weird timing. It's this.

283
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: These comments definitely sound like something maybe after the season,

284
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: not before the All Star break, when you've been out

285
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: for a while and your team was all right and

286
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: you're still in a playoff hunt. You know, like you

287
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: you're right there, like it's weird.

288
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: It is.

289
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 3: It's classic weird timing Kyrie's, no doubt.

290
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: But it's also weird how he did call out some

291
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 5: of his teammates, almost as to say, like I like

292
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: these guys, but I don't want these guys here. I mean, okay, well.

293
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: Right, so you're saying him omitting like Tess said, Jared Allen,

294
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: especially maybe Joe Harris whatever, Tony Prince. Yeah, like so

295
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: why you know, look, Jared Allen is better than DeAndre

296
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: Jordan for sure, and Joe Harris is better than Garrett

297
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: Temple already. So but I don't know. I always just

298
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: with Kyrie's like, I mean, we like dissect what he said,

299
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: but I don't know. A part of me just thinks

300
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: it was classic, like he was crap. They lost again.

301
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: They've been bad, you know, either when he wasn't there

302
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: at the end of the streak there before he came back,

303
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: and then even with them, and it's just him saying like, sorry,

304
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: we'll be a different team. Were gonna be a different

305
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: team beause weve got Katie Common.

306
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: Well, but it's Carrie's gonna win you some games, He's

307
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: gonna lose you some games. I think last Night falls

308
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 5: into the latter category because he was bad down the

309
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 5: stretch in the fourth quarter there against the good team

310
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 5: on the road, and he was frustrated. But I don't

311
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 5: think these comments help. But I don't think they helped

312
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: the locker room for him to be, you know, kind

313
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: of making a division there and almost saying to the

314
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: GM saw Marks, Okay, you know, get get us some

315
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: better players here. Here are the guys you can get

316
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: rid of and get us someone else. It's not that easy.

317
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: But he's also saying, the last few years, yeah, you

318
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: guys were you know, overachieved with your young players, and

319
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: now we've got to get our good guys in here

320
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: and make it take another step. And so yeah, he's

321
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: saying the team will be different, but he's also putting

322
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: down his teammates.

323
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean the part that he does say, we

324
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: didn't include it in that clip. He says, it's glaring

325
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: that you're missing a big piece here. We all know that. Okay,

326
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: that's obviously Kevin Durant, But we can't continue to make

327
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: that excuse. We've got to go out there and compete

328
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: and continue to lock in and see where we end up.

329
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: He was garbage're right, the timing of all within the season,

330
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: right after a game where you were crap one to

331
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: seven in the fourth and the team's been better without you. Okay,

332
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: Like have they they have? Well, they're five and nine

333
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: in games he's played.

334
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: They're eight and thirteen since the start of December. That

335
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: was mostly without Kyrie.

336
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: There, I'm just like, they're not nine and five when

337
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: he's been playing.

338
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're basically the same, I'd say, with Kyrie or

339
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: without Kyrie. But you know, I just like Boston when

340
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: I really you know, everything started to come down around

341
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: Kyrie when he said, you know, the young guys got

342
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: to play better. He said, we've got comp yesterday said

343
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: we've got complimentary young guys as well that have done

344
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: a great job the last three years. Collectively, I feel

345
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: like we have great pieces, but it's pretty glaring we

346
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: need one more piece or two more pieces that will

347
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: compliment same list of guys as he mentioned there, Durant

348
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: DeAndre Jordan Garrett Temple likes the Vets, Spencer Dinwide, Caerseilvert.

349
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: He's saying, I think he's just sort of taken, as

350
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: I said, taking the role of the superstar and what

351
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: he thinks that embodies and in today's NBA and embodies

352
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: Ruster changes and I hope for those guys that they

353
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: can find somewhere else to play.

354
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think Kyrie is saying yesterday after that game, hey,

355
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: we need to look to move Jared Allen and Joe

356
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: Harris and Torrian Prince for other guys, other pieces.

357
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: Well, really he's saying he wants a roster with his

358
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: the he's I think he's just saying, I'm going to

359
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: be the GM of this team.

360
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that worked out badly for him in Boston.

361
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: I mean when he when he when he took this

362
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: sort of a stance of you know, me against some

363
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 5: of the players, it just didn't work out. You look

364
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: at the way their season ended. It was a disaster

365
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee. And look at the way Boston has been

366
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: playing so far to this point. They seem a lot

367
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: more together. And that's the problem with Kyrie. I mean,

368
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: Joe Harris is a free agent anyway at the end

369
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: of this season, so he's going to get paid. He's

370
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 5: a good player, he's a good shooter, he's he's a

371
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: modern day player. So maybe Kyrie's got to figure out

372
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: a way to utilize those guys a little better than

373
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: he's doing.

374
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: Maybe Kyrie just needs to stay away from the mics.

375
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: He just gets himself in trouble anytimes he starts trying

376
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: to get deep and talking about his team's construction, where

377
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: they're headed.

378
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: And you know, like I also just wonder if maybe

379
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: he's sitting in the locker room he's asked this question,

380
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: he's looking around at the guys. What if Joe Harris

381
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and Jared Allen are in the shower? That's why they

382
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: didn't get mentioned. And now we're dissecting who he wants

383
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: on the team and who he doesn't want on the team.

384
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: I think it could be a lot more innocent than

385
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: it sounded. But the timing of it is bad. You've

386
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: been out for most of the season and you come

387
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: in and you're trashing some of your players.

388
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 4: Doesn't make sense.

389
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't looking around though you can see the clip,

390
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: he's just looking down. He wasn't looking towards the shower.

391
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: He's got peripheral visions.

392
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Man, The guy's got incredible handles on the court. You

393
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: think that doesn't translate to his outer life.

394
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, he was wearing a hat that was curved the

395
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: beak was curved at a forty five degree angle. I

396
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: don't think you could see right or left. I don't think.

397
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: I don't think Joe Harris showers after the game. He's

398
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: got that rugged beer. I don't think so.

399
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be him and Kadi at

400
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: the hierarchy of this team for years. That's He's not

401
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: Kyrie's not going anywhere. But I don't think it does

402
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: well for the locker room or or for their shower experience.

403
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: It's not good for the team. But in the at

404
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: the end of the day, just like when Kyrie Irving

405
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: was with the Cavs and they quote unquote didn't talk

406
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: for months, they won a championship, and I think that's

407
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: that's what you live with with Kyrie. That's just the

408
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: give and take.

409
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: The weight, guys is almost over. Zion Williamson is expected

410
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: to make his season debut January twenty second against the Spurs.

411
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: Executive vice president David Griffin told reporters yesterday. Griff said

412
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 3: Williamson will not be on a minute's restriction when he returns.

413
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: Tru or false, Pelicans can still make the playoffs.

414
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: Definitely true.

415
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, there probably not, but they definitely could if Zion

416
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: comes back, and you know, griff is saying that he

417
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: looks even better than he did during the preseason, which

418
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: could be scary if he comes back. We've seen teams

419
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: get hot before. I remember when Nikola Miritych came back

420
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: for the Bulls. They were a terrible team. They won

421
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: eight straight games just because they added a talent player

422
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: who hadn't had a scouting report yet that season. That's

423
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: an advantage, no doubt for the Pelicans. Then you look

424
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: at a team like the Grizzlies this year. They just

425
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: won six straight games. Suddenly they're in the playoff mix.

426
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: If that happens for the Pelicans, they win five or

427
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: six straight, they're right there in the Mets, and then

428
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: who knows what happens during the last couple of weeks

429
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: of the season.

430
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: The Pelicans have been playing much better too recently, So

431
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: if he can come back and have an impact immediately,

432
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 5: there's no reason why they can't compete because they're only

433
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 5: four games back of the Grizzlies, and apart from the

434
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 5: San Antonio Spurs, the teams ahead of them are the Wolves,

435
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: the Suns, and the Blazers, all teams that have had

436
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: struggles throughout this season at some point. So if the Pelicans,

437
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 5: I think more than just Zion can keep themselves healthy,

438
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 5: keep Ingram on the court, keep Lonzo Ball on the court,

439
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: it gives them a chance at least. But it's as

440
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 5: Tree saying, will they probably not. So many things need

441
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: to go right for them to do it. From here,

442
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 5: it's just exciting to actually have Zion playing. He's going

443
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 5: to play more than just a handful of games at

444
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 5: the end of the season. He's hopefully he's going to

445
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 5: play at least thirty thirty five games, and we're going

446
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 5: to get a real look at him because for a

447
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 5: while there we thought maybe he's not going to play

448
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 5: it all this season. They're just going to keep on

449
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 5: delaying it. But clearly Griff wants to get him out

450
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 5: there and get him some reps, and this is I

451
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 5: think it's got to be a good thing for the

452
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 5: Pelicans because you're going to see him out there, and

453
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 5: we saw him in the preseason. I think he shot

454
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 5: seventy two percent for seventy one point four. I don't

455
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 5: expect him to quite you know, score at that.

456
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: He's going to be better seventy three.

457
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: So what I did like about him when he when

458
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 5: he played in pre season, he looked ready to go.

459
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: He looked like he was an NBA player already. So hopefully,

460
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 5: you know, the transition from him not playing to playing

461
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 5: is short and he can go out there and you know,

462
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 5: make make a big name for himself, because it'd be

463
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 5: great to see.

464
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: This is a great time. It's fun to be excited

465
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 2: for a January twenty second game against the San Antonio Spurs.

466
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: And I think he'll come out of the gates strong

467
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: because they've waited this long. I think they've waited the

468
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: proper amount of time. They weren't going to rush him in.

469
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: And you know, David Griffin, an eloquent man saw an

470
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: NBA TV last season. I don't I don't think he

471
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: just throws words out there. I think he chooses his

472
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: words wisely. And he said quote, I really believe very

473
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: strongly he is a radically improved physical version of himself

474
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: to Jim, I should hope for I When when I

475
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: hear those words, I don't believe it. I mean, he's

476
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: a radically improved version of a physical version of himself.

477
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess they changed the man in

478
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: four months, but see that run. I can't wait. I

479
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: can't wait so much, Like how what changed? But anyways,

480
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: let's let's watch and see. I think I think he'll

481
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: be great, no doubt.

482
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: As for making the playoffs, I mean, really, it's how

483
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: many how many wins is it going to take in

484
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 3: the West this year? Is a sub five hundred team

485
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: going to get the eighth spot? Are you going to

486
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: have to be forty one and forty one or a

487
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 3: little bit better? Because you know, the Pelicans are exactly

488
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: at the halfway mark of their season fifteen and twenty six,

489
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: and a big part of that was that crazy losing

490
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: streak right then they lose thirteen straight. Yeah, damn, you

491
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: give your you know, let's say they take three of

492
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: those and then the record doesn't look all that bad.

493
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 3: It's a lot closer to like the Grizzlies. But they're

494
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: fifteen and twenty six. They gotta go. I don't know,

495
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 3: I think they gotta go like twenty six and fifteen.

496
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: They basically have to flip that to me, they gotta

497
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: be sort of a forty one and forty one team.

498
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 4: You think.

499
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: I think an under five hundred team's making the play

500
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: I I both conferences.

501
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: When I when you say under five hundred and maybe forty,

502
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: you can talk me into it's not gonna be in

503
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: the thirties. In my opinion, I still think what they're on.

504
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: Pace for what Grizzlies are on pace for thirty eight

505
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: right now in the eight seed.

506
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean still obviously a half season to

507
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: be played. I think it's gonna take forty wins. So look,

508
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 3: could the Pelicans do it? Maybe you said there, you know,

509
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: if everybody is healthy, if Drew is there, if Favors

510
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: is there, if Ingram continues to bowl out, if Ball

511
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 3: is healthy and he's been great of this little stretch,

512
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: put Zion in there. Yeah, you get can very easily

513
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: get excited and could see them pulling out some victories.

514
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: But I don't think they will, Like Gut says, like

515
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: you were saying, trade like, yeah, could they yeah, yeah, sure,

516
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 3: but I just don't think they will. But it won't

517
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: even that truly won't matter. It'll be hopefully he looks great.

518
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 3: You see the flashes of dominance, and then it's like,

519
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 3: all right, you know, twenty twenty twenty one, here we go,

520
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: this will be the year. Then now make it in now.

521
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: JJ Redick's playoff streak is on the line here too.

522
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 3: We'll come back and save that. That would be pretty amazing,

523
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 3: or they move him. But it's exciting that you're right,

524
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 3: he's coming back and we know. I like, I'm with

525
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: ghost Face Ziller. I wish they bumped it up a day.

526
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: I really do. Wish this was on MLK Day and

527
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: they were playing John Moran the Grizzlies. It is one day.

528
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: Come on, Greff, have him come back to twenty first,

529
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: not the twenty second.

530
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 5: I'm surprised that he didn't almost delay it after the

531
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 5: Spurs game because it's the Spurs, you know, like.

532
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: They're really bad at defense though, Wow, so I guess

533
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: that's why.

534
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean the other thing is, I think the

535
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: Pelicans have a national televised game this weekend because we

536
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: start getting those ABC games. I think it's Clippers Pelicans,

537
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: so it does you know. I mean, look seems a

538
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: little calculated, right. We could all agree that they decide

539
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: not to go with a nationally televised game, be it

540
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: on the Saturday versus the Clips or even on the Monday.

541
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: With that MLK like a lot more eyes maybe on

542
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: the NBA that day with all the games but going

543
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 3: on the Wednesday, But well we'll take it regardless, all right.

544
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: Next one's rookie Seku Doumbuya scored a season high twenty

545
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: four points as Detroit snapped a three game losing streak

546
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: with the one sixteen one h three win over the

547
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: Celtics on Wednesday. The Piston shot an insane sixty point

548
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 3: three percent from the field. Dumuya has reached double figures

549
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 3: in seven of his last eight games. The Detroit Dudes

550
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 3: are very excited, very excited about this nineteen year old potential.

551
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: So true or false, Seku he could be the steal

552
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: of the twenty nineteen draft. Ture false going fifteenth overall.

553
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: Who's gonna say? Yes? Sure, sure? Why not?

554
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 5: How deep do you have to be to be a steal?

555
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question.

556
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: I think you need to be out of the lottery

557
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: just technically is Yeah. I know, you're right. It's you

558
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: could easily be at you know, selected tenth and go

559
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: on to be a Hall of Fame player and then

560
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 3: you are a steel because the ninet teams passed you up.

561
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, in my gut, I say.

562
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 5: The listen, I think he's taken advantage of an opportunity

563
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 5: there in Detroit. Yeah, everybody being in Basically, Coach Casey

564
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: had no one else. He had to give him a chance,

565
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 5: and Dumboya's out there and he's doing all he can do.

566
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 5: You know what's interesting is actually Casey's given him some

567
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 5: tough defensive assignments to go out there and go up

568
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 5: against guys like Kawhi Leonard, and he's defended him well enough.

569
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: But then on the other end of the floor, he's

570
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 5: just he's basically just running to the rim throwing the

571
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: ball and he's going to try to score high, high

572
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 5: percentage looks. And Casey said he's earning these minutes because

573
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 5: he's working hard and he's contributing. But again, it helps

574
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 5: when several of your players are out injured.

575
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: But he's shooting like over forty percent from three. I know,

576
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: you like, run into the rim a lot, you rate

577
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 3: and get some music loops and stuff like that and

578
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: clean it up on the boards. But he's in in

579
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: the three with pretty good consistency over here since he

580
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: became a starter.

581
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: Yep.

582
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 5: So good for him. I mean, he looks he looks

583
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 5: pretty comfortable, I think as well. People because he's from France,

584
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: he's nineteen years of age. Not a lot of people

585
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 5: know about him, so that helps as well. There's no

586
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: real scouting or on him, and and he's just making

587
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 5: the most of his opportunity. So yeah, I mean.

588
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: It's kind of smooth looking three point shot. Yeah, for

589
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: a bigger guy. He's like six foot nine, right, he's

590
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: got it. Looks all size to him too.

591
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: Looks like he's got some girt to him. I mean

592
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: we hopped in the car after pick up all last night.

593
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: Dumbuya had a great game, or like, maybe this guy's good.

594
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Maybe the Detroit dude should rebrand.

595
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 5: As the Dumbuya Dudes.

596
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: Because he is the biggest spark that the Pistons have

597
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: had this season. And it's good to see a spark

598
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: from anybody on the Pistons. Somebody that you can see

599
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: that you can forecast being there for at least a

600
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: little bit of time, maybe somebody that can be a

601
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: part of their next sort of winning.

602
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: Stage of the franchise. Is he the steel of the draft?

603
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

604
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: He was number fifteen pick. What about Brandon Clark? He

605
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: was a number twenty one pick and he's been better.

606
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: So Daniel Gafford.

607
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: Oh, tyber Pascal was second rounder. He's played well. I mean,

608
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 3: is that just because of his situation with the Warriors

609
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 3: or is he a real player? Yeah? I think he's

610
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: on the short list though, Doubua, And you're in no doubt, Detroit,

611
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 3: more than any of any team in the league needed

612
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: something to maybe get excited about for the future, and

613
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: at least you've got a nineteen year old kid doing

614
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: what he's doing. Seemed to pressed task last night. I

615
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: saw you tweeted about him right excited.

616
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: It's a crazy world that the Detroit Pistons have two

617
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: guys who've been All Stars and Andre Drummond and Blake

618
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: Griffin in their front court, and they've got a Derek

619
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: rowse renaissance and had a great game. The only real

620
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: beacon of hope is Seku Doumbuya, and he is though

621
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: he's come out of nowhere. They you know, they brought

622
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: him along slowly playing in the G League, and so

623
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: that's a great move by them, and it seems like

624
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: it's paying off. Seems like more and more guys are

625
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: working in the minor league of the NBA and coming

626
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 2: through and playing ball because everybody's using this that league

627
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: a little bit better. And it's just wild to see

628
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: a man who yesterday was nineteen years old and twenty

629
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: three days he barely just turned nineteen years old and

630
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: putting up those numbers. Yeah, there's you know, we all

631
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: love our stats. And I thought it was a cool one,

632
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: you know, he had. He had a great game, the

633
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: second youngest player to score twenty four points on seventy

634
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: five percent shooting in a game, Kobe being the only

635
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: one who was younger. Kobe was all right in those

636
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: early days too. Everybody kind of skips over the early

637
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Kobe years. But somebody tweeted back at me when I tweeted, that'stat, Well,

638
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: Kobe and Seku both drafted a little bit too low,

639
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: Ain't that true? Sekhu's the new Kobe?

640
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: Wow, you heard it here. First I saw the athletics,

641
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 3: James Edwards had an article on Seiku. The Detroit dudes

642
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: will be excited about this. His shot underwent. Seku's shot

643
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: underwent a lot of construction with their player development coach

644
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: DJ Baker this summer. He had that shooting motion where

645
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: he used to swing over to the left side that

646
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: his arm did over his sort of his face while

647
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: he was releasing and that he's gotten rid of that habit.

648
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: And Bigger did the exact same sort of reconstruction with

649
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: Siakam's shot when he was up with Toronto. That's good,

650
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 3: I mean, and the shot looks nice again. He gets

651
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: a hell of a narc on his three point shot.

652
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: I think scrapes the ceiling. But yeah, he sort of

653
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 3: cleaned that up a little bit, got a little more

654
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: straighter there and not covering his face, and I guess

655
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: he did the same thing with Sakham. But he looks

656
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: like a Yeah, he's a steal for sure. I hope

657
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: to God for Pistons fans out there that he is

658
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: like maybe a star in the making because they need

659
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: they need something to get excited about moving into the

660
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 3: future here, and this is a team that look they

661
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: in theory they're gonna be busy at the trade deadline

662
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: right still, you would assume they're gonna be trying to

663
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: move Andre Drummond and get something in return for him.

664
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: Before you know, he probably signs a deal somewhere. Derek Rose,

665
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: it feels like there's like ten or eleven teams that

666
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: could talk themselves in to be like, yeah, we we

667
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: could use rose playing like this coming off the bench

668
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: or in a you know, somebody gets injured in a

669
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: starting spot role as we make our playoff push, so

670
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: probably moves to be made, But I don't think Seku

671
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: will be in one of them. You will be being

672
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: moved by the Pistons because maybe they got something special there.

673
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 2: And I'm happy that it's doombuya and not doombou yah,

674
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: as the NBA pronunciation Guide is telling us. Doombouya is

675
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: a little easier to say instead of instead of a

676
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 2: little kombah.

677
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he should get a ship. Yeah, that's a good idea.

678
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

679
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: All right, che that's good. Final one here, guys, Zach Levine.

680
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: He wants to play in the All Star Game next month,

681
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: and he's making quite the case here lately. Levine had

682
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: thirty points, seven boards, seven assists as the banged up

683
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: Bulls beat the Wizards one fifteen one oh six. After

684
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: the game, Bulls coach Jim Boylan said, push ups. No,

685
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: he said, I've been blessed to coach a lot of

686
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: All Stars, and I think he should be in the game. Obviously,

687
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 3: talking about Zach Lavine, So truor false. Here's how I'm

688
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 3: throwing this one at you, guys. Trure false. Zach Lavine

689
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: is just as deserving of an All Star spot as

690
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: Trey Young and Bradley Bilar in the Eastern Conference. Come on, true?

691
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 5: Sure?

692
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: Sure?

693
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: I mean what's separating them? Really?

694
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: Tell me about it?

695
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 5: I mean, to me, you look at Trey Young, I

696
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 5: think has a built in excuse for his team being bad.

697
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 5: They're young team. John Collins is that injured. He's putting

698
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 5: up great numbers. But they think Bradley Beal and the

699
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: Wizards got off to a bad start. Obviously, No, John, Well,

700
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 5: we knew that coming into the season. Bill's putting up

701
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 5: good numbers on a bad team. Zach Levine, I feel

702
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 5: that the Bulls people just go, well, the Bulls are

703
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: just rubbish, you know. I don't feel that they have

704
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 5: an excuse like those other two teams have. But Levine

705
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: is putting.

706
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: Up right, even though the Bulls are better than both.

707
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 5: Of those exactly. Levine's you know, played more games. He's

708
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 5: putting up you know, similar numbers. I mean, Trey Young

709
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 5: obviously is scoring more points than him.

710
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: And passing more. I think that's the difference Tree Young's

711
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: assisting guys Zach Lavine's. It's not he's a great scorer.

712
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: But deal I think is a more comparable. You know. Well,

713
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: like you said, first off, Trey Young is likely going

714
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: to start the game anyway, So that's not going to

715
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: be in the coach's hands.

716
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't. That's not a not a done deal,

717
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: not a done deal.

718
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna keep saying it until it happens because

719
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: I think it will. But okay, so, but a Biil

720
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: and Levine to me, is very very similar, you know,

721
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: obviously known for their scoring. Zach levin'sill have been a

722
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: little bit more or even efficient. He's shooting the three

723
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: ball incredible this year, and like they're both bad on defense. Yeah,

724
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: I mean difference.

725
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 4: That people thought the Balls were gonna be good this year.

726
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they thought they were going to be a playoff team,

727
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: and they are going to be a playoff team, but

728
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: right now there's still four games out, whereas the Wizards

729
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: and the Hawks, people thought they were gonna be amongst

730
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: the worst teams in the league. So even though John

731
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Collins was out suspended and the Hawks are one of

732
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: the two worst teams in the league. It's fine because

733
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: Trey Young's doing it all on his own. Bradley Beale

734
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: sort of the same thing, except for he was the

735
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: one who missed a bunch of time. But with bringing

736
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: in Sataranski, bringing in Fad Young, Jim Boyle, and locking

737
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: down that contract, everybody thought this team.

738
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 4: Should be a playoff team.

739
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: He'll have fallen short of expectations, but it really hasn't been,

740
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: at least offensively. Zach Lavine, he's carrying just as big

741
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: of a load as Beale and Young is, and he's

742
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: just as bad on defense as those guys.

743
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, like, if you compare zach Lavine this

744
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: year to Kemba Walker last year, who's making the All

745
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: Star Game in Charlotte, and again it's in Chicago, maybe

746
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: that helped zach Lavine's chances. And he also did the

747
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 3: whole thing, you know, you get me there. I might

748
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: go in the dunk concast a smart move by him.

749
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: But Kemba's Hornets, you know, they were a sub five

750
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: hundred team last year at you know, before being selected,

751
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: and he was averaging twenty five, four and six before

752
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: the All Star Game, shooting forty three percent of the

753
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: floor thirty six percent from three had a thirty one

754
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: point two usage rate. I mean Kemba was the Hornets offensively. Yeah,

755
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: zach Lavine is averaging basically the same and he's doing

756
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: it more efficiently efficiently twenty five, five and four, forty

757
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: four from the floor forty from three and an identical

758
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: usage percentage. Yeah, So, I mean it's to be I know,

759
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: I know it's year to year, so you're it's like, well,

760
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 3: there's different guys now, but I think if Beale's name

761
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 3: is being thrown in there, and to some extent even

762
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: Trey Young, although again I do think he'll start, zach

763
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: Lavine has to be included in that bunch. I don't

764
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 3: see why he isn't.

765
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hot to you sort of splitting hairs a

766
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: little bit over them. It's almost down to which god

767
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 5: do you think is perhaps better for his team or

768
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 5: has been better for his team this season? Has has

769
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 5: Levine been better than Bill's been for the Wizards? Or

770
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 5: is Bill better for the Wizards in Levine? It's I mean,

771
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 5: you know, six or one half dozen the other. To

772
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 5: be honest, I don't neither of them have really stood out.

773
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 5: But they've also been veterans who you know, on teams

774
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 5: where there's not a lot of scoring, they're the ones

775
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: who get the opportunity. But yeah, it's not it's not

776
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 5: a great race to be in for the really because

777
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 5: you know, if one of them gets in, you go, okay, yep, sure,

778
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: no one, No one's exactly running away with that prize.

779
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: No, no, you're right. But will a coach, Yeah, and

780
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: will the coaches select a Levigne or a Bell over

781
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: you know, a Simmons or a Brogden guys on better teams. Yeah,

782
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 3: maybe obviously not with the scoring output or like a

783
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: Jyllan Brown even or the lowry that comes up. It's

784
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: like guys on better teams that maybe impact winning more

785
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: or they have but don't have the numbers of a

786
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: Biel or Olivine.

787
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: That's why it probably comes down to Belle and Levine.

788
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: Like you're saying young is going to be starting, it's

789
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be one of the two. I would imagine

790
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: Bell and Levine. Beal has the pedigree, he's already been there.

791
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: But maybe Zach.

792
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: Lavine saying i'll be in the dunk County, you'll let

793
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 1: me play in this game, Perhaps that helps because I

794
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: do think coaches probably value the winners more so, like

795
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: A'm Malcolm Brogden and Kyle Lowry Ben Simmons probably are

796
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: ahead of Beale and Levine in the pecking order.

797
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is true. All right, let's take

798
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: a quick break here. Lots more still to come, but

799
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: this one presented by Draftings.

800

828
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: Guys, the Big Three announced major changes for the upcoming

829
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: season of three on three hoops. I don't know if

830
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: anyone here even watches the Big Three or follows it

831
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: at all. You got a favorite team lee in the

832
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: Big Three.

833
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 5: The Killerbes. I play the Killerbes well, the.

834
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: Ki Killer Three Killer Bees was a great tag team.

835
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 5: Back in the w W UP.

836
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: The Killer I would almost guarantee you task has those

837
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: uh those action figures?

838
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 5: Brian Brian no a.

839
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: British bulld I definitely had the Killer Bees. What were those?

840
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: I don't even what you call them. Everybody knows on

841
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 3: top like the hard plastic.

842
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I had to go action figures.

843
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they didn't bend or anything, but they

844
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 3: were great.

845
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: You couldn't stick your thumb and their butts like those

846
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: other ones.

847
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: That's right, yes, kill the Killer Threes was a team.

848
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: Maybe is still as a team. But you guys saw

849
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 3: what's your what's your favorite rule change? There was a

850
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: lot that they announced, the main one being it's not

851
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: even called Big Three anymore. Yeah, it sounds like it's

852
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: called Fireball three now because I got a red ball.

853
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 5: Well, lowering the age twenty two I think. And as

854
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 5: you saying it's funny, ice Cube saying, uh, he doesn't

855
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 5: want it to be a retirement. He doesn't want that stigma.

856
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 5: He wants you know, if you feel that maybe you're

857
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 5: on the tree of perhaps getting in the league, and

858
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 5: you maybe not on a G league roust, they come

859
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 5: to the Big Three, see what you can do. Yeah,

860
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 5: maybe that paves the way for you, because I can

861
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: see at some point that happening. You know, hey, this

862
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 5: guy started the Big Three, went to the G League,

863
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: and you know, then he found himself on a roster,

864
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 5: so I think that's what he's trying to do as Cube.

865
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 5: But it's still alive, so good on him. You know,

866
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 5: this is a fourth season that they've had the Big Three.

867
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 5: I'm sort of a bit surprised that's lasted this long,

868
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 5: but great, good for you, Good for you Cube.

869
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 4: Good for you Cube.

870
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: And like Li is saying, with the addition or the

871
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: lowering of the age limit, I suppose we saw Joe

872
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: Johnson get a contract after having a good.

873
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 4: Big Three season.

874
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: He didn't actually make the team, but that's a HASI

875
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: it was old as well. Maybe if you're like, I

876
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: don't know, a twenty four year old guy who hasn't

877
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: caught on anywhere you go dominate the Big Three look great,

878
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: then you.

879
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 4: Could get a call up, I would think, I don't know.

880
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the interesting part to me, though, isn't a

881
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: part of the charm of the Big Three is that

882
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: they are these older, you know, NBA players that you

883
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: remember and then sure you know, you have some attachment

884
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: to and I just wonder if it's different then suddenly

885
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 3: there's a twenty two year old guy that you don't

886
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: know anything about but can ball out and maybe dominate

887
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: even some of these guys. I don't know. Again, like

888
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 3: I'm not I haven't been following the Big Three closely.

889
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: So maybe there are people out there like, yeah, that's

890
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: more exciting because it's better basketball.

891
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: But and surely there are well there's gotta be college

892
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: fans too who will be like, that guy's not an

893
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: NBA player.

894
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 4: But he could go be good in the Big Three.

895
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Also, supposedly like a Jay Cole could join. It doesn't

896
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: just have to be for a basketball players. May be

897
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: anyone who's over twenty.

898
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 3: You should go for a tryout.

899
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 5: No, he specifically said he doesn't want it to be

900
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 5: a retire Oh, but I think as much as a.

901
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 3: More point shot man your money from downtown. Yeah, I like.

902
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: I like this addition that they've added to this year.

903
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 3: Once per half, a team can challenge a foul call

904
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 3: with the bring the Fire rule. This is awesome, which

905
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: will result in an in game one on one possession

906
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 3: with the victor winning the call. Okay, nice, Let's see

907
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: how this goes the Big Three and the Fireball Three,

908
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: and then we might have to like just get rid

909
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 3: of the dumb coaches challenge in the NBA and go

910
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: to this because this is way more exciting in theory

911
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: playing one on one to see like we do, you

912
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: know sometimes doing.

913
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 5: Picks like that fair yeah, fair for it, yeah, or

914
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 5: something to play one on one.

915
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: So uh yeah, that that one to me is very exciting.

916
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Maybe it will change the way we play pickup ball

917
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: because like you guys are saying, now, if there's a disputed.

918
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 4: Call, you're not playing one on one.

919
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: It's shoot for it. But these are professional athletes. If

920
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: you shoot for it, more than likely the offense is

921
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: going to be keeping the ball because they're going to

922
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: make a wide open jumper. But if we see this

923
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: catch on in the Big three, the Fireball three, maybe

924
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: when you're playing pickup ball, there's a little disagreement underneath.

925
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 4: That was a foul. No, that wasn't a foul.

926
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: That was off you.

927
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: No, that was off you bring the fire You gotta

928
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 4: play a one on one game right there?

929
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: Just put this Fireball three, Like, no, I'm a little confused,

930
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: Like you got something like are they actually renaming a

931
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: fire three or is that just like a part of

932
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 3: this year that's hard to just a ball? I mean,

933
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 3: I don't I'm so confused about that. No, it looks

934
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: like it's a being called Fireball three. Now. I mean,

935
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 3: you had a pretty good name or branding going on

936
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: there at Big Three. But anyway, fire the Ball looks

937
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 3: cool too. Yeah.

938
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 2: I think Ice also saw that the Basketball Tournament was

939
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 2: on ESPN last year during the summer with younger players

940
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: and also realized that, hey, our ceiling is it's kind

941
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 2: of limited with being a retirement league, and that's definitely

942
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: what people looked at it as, and they they should.

943
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it was decent, decent basketball, but you probably

944
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: want guys in your twenties if you're going to raise

945
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 2: the ceiling of the league, rather than all guys in

946
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: their late thirties or forties or you know, with gray

947
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 2: beards on them. So the Catino Mobile's beard looked great.

948
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 2: But I think I could still be out there playing

949
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: with some twenty year olds and that'll be an interesting dynamic. Anyways,

950
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: So I think the ceiling is raised just just because

951
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: I think, like, like the TBT is out there, the

952
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: like trey thrown out of tvt this today on Thursday morning. Now,

953
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: the actual tvt tournament that was on ESPN, the Basketball Tournament, Uh,

954
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, people too knew that was decent basketball and

955
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 2: Big Three's I think trying to raise the game. I

956
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 2: don't I hope J Cole and friends don't play in it, yeah,

957
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 2: because that's just that would that would kill the rap

958
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: a little bit, even though J Cole is a balla

959
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: just stay for you know, watch him on Friday night

960
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 2: in the celebrity game at All Star Weekend.

961
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: There are some cool like innovations and rules and like

962
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 3: policies going on in the Big Three. You got the

963
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 3: single foul shots, yeah, which is pretty neat. They got

964
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 3: the thing if you're fouled on a three point shot,

965
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 3: you actually take a three point you know shot at

966
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: the top. And if you get fouled on the four

967
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 3: point shot, which they do have, then you're you take

968
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 3: that one from the center like way out. So there's

969
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 3: sort of some cool things there. They got fourteen second

970
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 3: shot clocks. They're trying to speed up the game.

971
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: I don't like free throws in a game, like rid.

972
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 3: Of them, get rid of them. So I mean, but

973
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 3: in theory then you could just foul every single time.

974
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 3: You gotta have something. But in all serious two like

975
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 3: they encourage players, you know, CBD for recovery and stuff

976
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: like that and have pretty good like league mental health policies,

977
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: so they're doing some good things. I mean, I'm not

978
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 3: watching it every single week there in the summer, but

979
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: when I see it on, I stop and like, I'm

980
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 3: entertained enough. I've never gone to a game. I wonder

981
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: what that would be like.

982
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 5: Ad qua a bit, doesn't it think across the country?

983
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're like, aren't they They're playing sort of

984
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 3: all of the games over one week, yeah, right, or

985
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: one day in that same location, which is also sort

986
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: of cool. But let's hear from you Big Three fans

987
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: out there. I guess my very quick research here shows

988
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 3: that it is still the Big Three, but they now

989
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 3: have the fire.

990
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 4: Ball, which is the Big Three is who we are.

991
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: Fireball three is what we play. Okay, that's what they say.

992
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought it was called three on three, but

993
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: apparently it's got a new name.

994
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

995
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: I also brought in a team called the Bivol Whac,

996
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: which apparently is a name for ants.

997
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, So I don't know. They've got a

998
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 4: great thesaurus there at the Big.

999
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 2: Three sounds like a vacuum whack.

1000
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 3: And we got three three going into the Olympics. Right,

1001
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 3: and Tokyo Olympics, so that'll be.

1002
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, why not. The Olympics needs a bit of

1003
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: a bit of a spice too. I think people are

1004
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 5: getting a bit bored with the Olympics, so they got

1005
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 5: to have these gimmicky things in it, you know, with.

1006
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 2: The things the most huge sporting event.

1007
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 5: I don't like that anymore.

1008
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: I like the idea of someone being bored now at

1009
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: the Olympics. But hey, we added three on three and

1010
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: they're like, wow, you tune in.

1011
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 5: You got beach volleyball. You might as well have beach

1012
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 5: cricket at the Olympics.

1013
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 2: Now.

1014
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 5: It might as well just try everything.

1015
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,479
Speaker 4: What is it Christmas Day?

1016
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, the summer sport. You got the beach there

1017
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 5: ready for the for the volleyball. Just get the bat

1018
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 5: and the stumps out and stop.

1019
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: Playing the bat and the stumps.

1020
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1021
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 4: I saw a tweet this week.

1022
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: Uh, somebody was ranked like the number one three on

1023
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: three player in the world by Foeba, And I was like,

1024
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: isn't Lebron James or James Harden the number one three

1025
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: on three player in the world. He might not be

1026
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: playing three on three, but I guarantee you this guy

1027
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: is better than Bill Bivolac.

1028
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's I mean, yes, yes, they're right, but

1029
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: he's never played, so that technically doesn't count. The rules Like,

1030
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 3: could the best team I don't know, the ghost ballers,

1031
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 3: or could the best team in the Big three go

1032
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 3: and medal in the Olympics.

1033
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 5: That's what that's what Lebron should do.

1034
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 3: I don't think they could.

1035
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 5: If Lebron's going to Tokyo, why doesn't he just go

1036
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 5: in the Big Three? Get a couple of these things.

1037
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 5: It's like a win two gold medals while you know that.

1038
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: Would be awesome. Yeah, just qualifying though, league there's qualifying.

1039
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're one of the I SA just take

1040
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 5: a little.

1041
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 3: Why stop I stopped there? Lebron is such an athlete,

1042
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 3: guys like Westbrook or such an athlete. Yeah, just go

1043
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 3: in everything. If Lebron went in every single twenty twenty

1044
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: Olympic event, yeah, a summer Olympic event, how many could

1045
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: he medal?

1046
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 5: Well, he wouldn't. He wouldn't in the swimming or the running.

1047
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 5: He wouldn't be fast enough.

1048
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna say he wouldn't medal in any of

1049
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 3: them except the basketball.

1050
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 5: On I'm just trying to.

1051
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 3: As great as athlete.

1052
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: The hurdles, you say, running.

1053
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: No chance he would get smoked. He'd be deadline ast,

1054
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: dead last.

1055
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, let's have a look badminton crew rowing heavy.

1056
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: Could you slip them into a team event? Yeah, that's probably.

1057
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe a shot, but yeah, discuss maybe, Yeah, give

1058
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: him in the decathlon. See what happened.

1059
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 4: Long reach mm hmm.

1060
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's all the tactics with that. You've got

1061
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 5: to be ev even you know, he's a big he's a.

1062
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: Big yeah, yeah, hammer throw.

1063
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 5: Judo. I mean, the guy's coming. He could just pin

1064
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 5: them down, couldn't he.

1065
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 3: Again, I think the person that has been literally trained

1066
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 3: their entire life in that sport are going to have

1067
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 3: a better chance than Lebron just picking it up on

1068
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 3: the day of giving it a go.

1069
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: What would be the man Lebron playing handball day one?

1070
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: I bet Lebron is one of the five best.

1071
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, now now him, well I could be talked into.

1072
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 3: That's a good one.

1073
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 5: Pentathlon's that's one of the hardest ones that get tickets

1074
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 5: to man the pentathlon. Yeah, why that just is It's

1075
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 5: just was so popular in Athens. I couldn't get tickets.

1076
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 5: I love no money for it. It's crazy.

1077
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 3: But you're not getting a ticket just for the pentathlon.

1078
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 3: Aren't you getting a track and field ticket?

1079

1082
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't think pentathlon exists.

1083
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 3: I thought that was the woman's version of the equestrian.

1084
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 5: Equestrian.

1085

1090
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 3: Is that an event or no, that's not even an event.

1091
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 4: I think it's still an event.

1092
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 1: We know a lot about pestel shooting two hundred meters,

1093

1099
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,360

1100
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 3: in all of those events, though the horse, half on,

1101
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,760

Speaker 4: Horse on another horse. Horse.

1106
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 3: I didn't think the horse themselves was actually the the athlete.

1107
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: Eventually the athlete was on the horse. But in all

1108
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 3: of those events, that makes I can see what you're like.

Speaker 1: concerned that some players in today's game don't have their

1118
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: priorities in order. The quote comes from JJ Reddick from

1119
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: his podcast. He says, I really believe this. There are

1120
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: more guys concerned with getting a pregame fit on Instagram

1121
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: than they are worrying about the win and loss of

1122
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: a basketball game. Now, obviously, people started having fun with

1127
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: with Hassan Minaj and Malcolm Gladwell hours before that quote.

1128
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: Zitler continues, proposed, when you get a full sleeve tattoo,

1129
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: you renounce the right to criticize others for caring about

1130
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: how they look when in public. Ain't nothing wrong with

1131
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: getting the fit off on Instagram, JJ, Reddick.

1132
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:15,440

Speaker 4: Doesn't add up.

1136
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 3: It's not wrong.

1137
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 5: When did he rejoin in the Instagram? I thought he

1138
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 5: I thought he stopped all his social media. But I

1139
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 5: guess he's back in town.

1140
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:31,720

00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 3: then get it and getting it turned around on him?

1145
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 5: The Well, didn't he get the sleeve tattoo because of

1146
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 5: the Adam Levine comparisons?

1147
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 4: I have wanted to look more like Adam Levine.

1148
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 2: That's an interesting I have no idea what interesting take.

1149
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I think he wants to emulate Adam Legen.

1150
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 2: You think he got it? Maybe maybe people make the November.

1151
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: He walked into a tattoo shop and it was like,

1152
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: give me the Levine.

1153
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,400

1154
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 5: tweeted on fifth of November twenty twelve. I'm a big

1155
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 5: fan of Adam Levine's left arm sleeve. Also, why am

1156
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,680

1158
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 5: see what's out there. I think I think it's partly

1159
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 5: because of that. They do look remarkably similar. See Adam

1160
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,880

1195
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. It's on TNT. Milwaukee is favored by nine

1196
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 2: and a half points. Wow, Boston on back to back yep,

1197
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 2: and one of Milwaukee's few losses this season came at

1198
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 2: the hands of the Boston Celtics earlier this year. This

1199
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: is game number two for them nine and a half.

1200
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's big. And yeah, Boston just lost let alone

1201
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 3: played last night. Listen. Is that good or bad? I mean,

1202
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 3: they like they got waxed.

1203
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 2: They were definitely looking forward to this game. Yeah, but

1204
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: it seems to be happening a lot around the Association,

1205
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: teams looking forward to something else on their schedule. I'm

1206
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 2: taking the Bucks. I think they want a little revenge

1207
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 2: versus the Celts.

1208
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm taking the Bucks too.

1209
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. They're rested there at home, no injury concerns. Titum

1210
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 5: probably playing tonight, Brown probably playing tonight. But I think

1211
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 5: the Bucks have got that in them.

1212
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1213
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: It's also three and four nights for the Boston Celtics.

1214
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: That's a lot of games, so it's gonna be a

1215
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: four man Bucks, and I need this one bad guys, because.

1216
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 4: I'm putting some serious money on this. I just found

1217
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 4: out how much my fine is. Oh no, the City Indicator.

1218
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: Two twenty five eighty three twenty five.

1219
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: For rolling a sign.

1220
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: Call me adele because I'm rolling in the deep pockets.

1221
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 3: Oh goodness. All right, So everybody's got the Bucks.

1222
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 5: That's only ten T shirt chef to sell. Maybe go

1223
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 5: and hold them out of the.

1224
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: Strings right at that stop side, come to the stop, Sidne.

1225
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 3: The Bucks have been killing it, killing teams over the

1226
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 3: last four wins. I mean their closest closest win was

1227
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 3: a nine point victory over the Warriors, and then they've

1228
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 3: hammered the Kings, hammered the Blazers and pump the Knicks.

1229
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 3: So still a big line. Celtics could bounce back. You know.

1230
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 3: I feel like Brad Stevens could have got upset with

1231
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 3: their performance in Detroit, so.

1232
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:10,680
