You know, they're not a powerhouse, 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: the US American team, but there's some redeeming to be done. 61 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 5: Like we talked about and our film review of the 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 5: Redeemed Team, they've got to redeem. They got to redeem themselves. 63 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 6: Sounds like they got to redeem twenty eighteen not qualifying 64 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: and then sending a talented young team to this year's 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 6: tourney to win it. I assume that The Athletic Soccer 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 6: Show will do a post World Cup Championship for the 67 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 6: United States updated event or an updated episode as well. 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: I don't think that'll be happening because Canada is in 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: the World Cup and they will be. 70 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: A US World Cup final. 71 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: That would be all right. So this is Monday Show. 72 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: We always do NBA weekend winners and losers. Let's hear 73 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: your picks too when it comes to who had a 74 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: really good NBA weekend, maybe who didn't. Before we get 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: to our winners, we got good news. We had a 76 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: wedgie guys, our first one of the season. It was 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: Saturday night in South Beach and it was the groat 78 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: Kyle Lowry against his old team, the three point. He 79 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: gets fouled there, No, did he get fouled, Well, they 80 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: said he did. They went and looked at it at 81 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 3: the NBA replay center. I guess got underneath Kyle, so 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: he got his three free throws, but he stuck to 83 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: Weggie and we count that one. There were a couple 84 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: in the Bulls game too, but they were well after 85 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 3: the whistle. Well after weggies don't count. Yeah, so Weggie 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: number one where I go. Kyle weggietracker dot com if 87 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: you want to follow the goods and tastays, we're hitting 88 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: what sixty or something this year. Yeah, not a great start. 89 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: Not a great start. 90 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 5: But as we know, Weggie's bunch and they come in bunches. 91 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 92 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 5: Otto Porter didn't think that was a fella. He saw 93 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 5: his face on the bench. But you know, Kyle Lowry's 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 5: back right. If he's Weggie, it's true, which isn't a 95 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: good thing for a basketball player. At the same time, 96 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 5: he's looking good. Yeah, Kyle's looking good. 97 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 3: I think he's just trying to help us out. He's like, 98 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: all right, let's get these guys on the board. We're 99 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: up twenty number one. Here we go. 100 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 5: You take the snot out of them. 101 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: Okay, winners of the weekend tasks, why don't you get 102 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 3: us started? Who's your big big winner of the weekend. 103 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: The Utah Jazz are undefeated. Of the four undefeated team yep, 104 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 5: you toudge asz the most unexpected at three and oh. 105 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 5: They're projected to go twenty four and fifty eight this 106 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 5: season and there are already three and oh. They took 107 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 5: care of Denver then on the road this weekend, they 108 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: go and beat Minnesota, their former buddy Rudy Gobert, who 109 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 5: they traded in the offseason, and then they go and 110 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 5: beat the sweetheart New Orleans Pelicans, who everybody loves. It's 111 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 5: a band of misfits. Some would say, if you look 112 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 5: at the roster, they're starting front court Larry Markten, Kelly Olinik, 113 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 5: and Jared Vanderbilt. They're starting Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson 114 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: in the backcourt. Guys off the bench like Rudy Gay, 115 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: Malik Beasley, Taylor Horton, Tucker calling Sexton, guys you wouldn't 116 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: expect to put together a big win streak. But at 117 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: the same time, they're absolutely doing it by committee. Doing 118 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 5: a bi committee so much that they had thirty nine 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 5: assists against Minnesota's on Friday. That's a lot assists. And 120 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 5: then doing a bi committee so much that on Sunday 121 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 5: it was Kelly Olinick with the game winner play call 122 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 5: from Will Hardy. 123 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: What a game winner from Kelly. 124 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: Kelly, we're going to. 125 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 5: Upspect or disrespect, but he did this too. 126 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: Yeah he lost the ball. 127 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you're not watching on YouTube, to watch 128 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 5: this clip. It's the classic inbound to the big man. 129 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 5: He's looking to hand it off. Some some guards got 130 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 5: to come take the ball from him. But the reason 131 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 5: why I think the Jazz are kind of hard to 132 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 5: play against because you never know where it's coming from. 133 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 5: All five guys can make it. Play. Minutes earlier, Kelly 134 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 5: Olinik has similar play. He took the ball from the 135 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 5: perimeter and scored. Who the heck are you guarding on 136 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 5: this team? You gotta guard all five guys except for 137 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: Dared Vanderbilt, He's just gonna dunk it. But you do 138 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 5: have to guard everybody. And I think that's gonna be 139 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 5: sort of a Will Hardy trademark, the new head coach 140 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 5: of the Jazz, getting everybody to play together, making everybody 141 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 5: a weapon. I think we kind of underestimated with the 142 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: Utah Jazz that it's a new work environment. The fact 143 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 5: that Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell laughed and the cloud 144 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 5: of trying to get those guys to play together is gone. 145 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: They're just they're playing free and easy. They're absolutely loving it. 146 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 5: They do not have a superstar by any means. Lowry 147 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 5: Markinen is their leading scorer. He had a game last 148 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: night with thirty one and twelve. He is interesting to 149 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 5: watch because he's been unlocked a little bit. I watched 150 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 5: him play euro Basket for the Finished team this offseason. 151 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 5: He looked like a guy who had had the skill 152 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 5: set that we all sort of expected when he was 153 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 5: with the Bulls. A three point shot, obviously, but he's 154 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 5: just bigger, stronger, more confident handling the ball. Again, not 155 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 5: a superstar, but he's doing a lot screener. Shooter sometimes 156 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 5: brings up the ball, so Will Hardy just letting him 157 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 5: do his thing. Again. Not a number one guy, but 158 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 5: part of a huge defense. He was part of the 159 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 5: Cavs defense last year if you remember, as the small 160 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 5: for he's seven footer, but he's part of the three 161 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 5: seven footers there with Mobley and Jared Allen. Now he 162 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 5: is starting in a similar way with Kelly Olnick and 163 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 5: Jared Vanderbilt. So that's a big team to play against. 164 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 5: They like each other. I like their neon unis, not 165 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 5: not those bright ones. Sorry I shouldn't say that. I 166 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 5: shouldn't said the bright neon unis. I like the white 167 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 5: and the white ones that they wear with the yeah, 168 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: plus the purple ones that two of the four unis. 169 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 5: They're okay. The other two are are practice unis. But 170 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 5: they are fun to play watch, I should say they're 171 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 5: fun to watch, not fun to play against. So the 172 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 5: Utah Jazz three and oh again led by a Mike Conley, 173 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: you know, old guy Mike Conley bringing it down the 174 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: floor and just weapons coming from every everywhere. And the 175 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 5: bench is obviously as I mentioned when you got calling 176 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 5: sexon coming off the bench. They're deep in a way 177 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 5: without a star, so tough to play against. That's why 178 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 5: the three and O. 179 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: What do you think of the Jazz so far as 180 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: as tests that one of the four teams that's still 181 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: undefeated there with the Blazers, the Celtics and the Bucks. 182 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: They got a chance to go five and oh. 183 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 6: I think they got the Rockets kind of back to back, 184 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 6: not an actual back to back, but coming up their 185 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 6: next two games are against the Rockets, not a great 186 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 6: team so far, so they have a chance to get 187 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 6: to five and oh. But there's no sure for the 188 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 6: Jazz right now, no expectations, and they're taking advantage of it. 189 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 6: They're probably catching some teams by surprise here earlier in 190 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 6: the season, and they're playing super hard. We're gonna get 191 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 6: into the Zion fall a little bit later, but that's 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 6: kind of indicative of the way the jaz has been playing. 193 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 6: A Jordan Clarkson Chase down block on a guaranteed dunk 194 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 6: from Zion. That just shows you how committed they are 195 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: to playing well early in the season. It probably won't 196 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 6: last for the entirety of the year. It's no different 197 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 6: than Michael Carter Williams and the Sixers starting three and 198 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 6: zero back in twenty fourteen. But enjoya wall at last, 199 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 6: Jazz fans. I will say, I do not like the 200 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 6: white jerseys either. 201 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: Oh, those are also bad. 202 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 5: I'm okay. 203 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: They're the best of the three standards. 204 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, maybe that's why I like them. They are 205 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 5: the best of the three. And the double neons that 206 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 5: they had against the timber Wolves. The Wolves had a 207 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 5: little neon on Friday night. Didn't mind it. It was 208 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 5: neon versus neon. Yeah, they are the best of the 209 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 5: three those other two. 210 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: Do you want to lock in Will Hardy for Coach 211 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: of the Year a couple of days into the NBA 212 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: season's front Rider. 213 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a fun coach to play for. I think 214 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 5: I think they Kelly, Hey, you can score from the 215 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: three point line. Danny Aingel loves Kelly Olic and this 216 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 5: guy's coming in here allowing himself to score it. Yeah, 217 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 5: we call them. I call them the band of misfits. 218 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 5: You can call them the band because they're taking the 219 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 5: pressure off Danny. Take a load of. 220 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 2: Incredible. 221 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 5: We need we need a terrible musical reference we had 222 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 5: on Friday. Can't stop now, all right? 223 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: The Jazz they are the feel good story here of 224 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 3: not even a weekend to this NBA season. They got 225 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: they got. Look, they got jazz fans and non jazz fans. 226 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 3: I think already tweeting at me. Ask you said they 227 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: were gonna have the worst record in the league. What 228 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: the hell? Come on? I mean they still might. That's 229 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: a long season, but they're not gonna They play hard. 230 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: They play you have to give them that. And credit 231 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: to Hardy and the entire staff. 232 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 5: They're fighters. 233 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, TK, let's keep it going. Who you got for 234 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: winn of the weekend? 235 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 6: Oh not Danny Ainge's current team, Not Will Hardy's current team. 236 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 6: They're old team. I love what the Boston Celtics did 237 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 6: this weekend. On Friday, they beat DA Heat in Miami. Saturday, 238 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 6: they cast a spell on the Magic in Orlando. The 239 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 6: Heat kind of struggling out of the gate, turned it 240 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 6: on a little bit against the Raptors. The Magic are competing, 241 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 6: but they're not really gonna stack up against the cream 242 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 6: of the crop in the Eastern Conference. So expected wins 243 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 6: certainly for the Celtics, but impressive still. Fifty seven combined 244 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 6: points for Jason Tatum Jalen Brown against the Heat. That's 245 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 6: pretty solid against a really good defense, and then a 246 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 6: forty piece McNugget for Tatum against the Magic. J King 247 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 6: at the Athletic has a really good article about Tatum 248 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 6: demanding to guard Palo Bancaro after a hot start, and 249 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 6: that to me just shows the leadership that he's bringing 250 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 6: to this team right now. This is one hundred percent 251 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 6: his team on both sides of the ball. Even though 252 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 6: you don't think him, think of him as a defender, 253 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 6: the standing he has within the team to make the call. 254 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 6: We got a defensive player of the year here, We've 255 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 6: got Grant Williams, a solid defender. But no, I'm the 256 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 6: one who's gonna go and guard their guy and try 257 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 6: and turn off the water for him. So the willingness 258 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: to do the dirty work. It really shows, and the 259 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 6: whole team can buy and look at what the Magic 260 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 6: did sixty eight points in the first half. Tatum steps 261 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 6: to Pollo and the Magic score fifty two in the 262 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 6: second half. Sometimes what you need to beat inferior competition 263 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 6: on the road on the second night of a back 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 6: to back is your best player to just say we're 265 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 6: gonna win this game. And Jason Tatum definitely did that. 266 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 6: He's not a name that got a lot of discussion 267 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 6: in our preseason MVP talk, but for me, at least 268 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 6: in the Eastern Conference Damian Lillard, certainly in the Western Conference, 269 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 6: Tatum is the fastest riser. Like if you were doing 270 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 6: a coaches poll, he would have been maybe number eight 271 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 6: at the beginning of the year, and now he's got 272 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 6: to be top three. He's at thirty five points per game, 273 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 6: eight rebounds, three assists, fifty three from the field, thirty 274 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 6: three from three to eighty eight from the line. Celtics 275 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 6: could easily have the best record in the Eastern Conference 276 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 6: and that's gonna be a pretty solid case for Tatum 277 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 6: to get his first MVP. 278 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 3: I remember that was what I threw out we were 279 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 3: talking dark horse MVP picks and I just chucked in there. 280 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: I said, what about Tatum because his odds are like 281 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: really really juicy for a guy that we know can 282 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: score basically thirty in to sleep only thinking well, if 283 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: the Celtics have the number one record in the East, 284 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: maybe the league, he's the best player on the team. 285 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: Is it possible? And so far, so good with that 286 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 3: three and o quick start, he looks just he looks 287 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 3: awesome right now, like he looks sort of unstoppable right now. 288 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 5: And he was in the MVP talks the first couple 289 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 5: of the months last year until things sort of fell 290 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 5: off for him, but he was there. And the question 291 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 5: was where the Celtics going to come out laser focused 292 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 5: coming off the final appearance, And absolutely is the answer. 293 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 5: When you go into Miami and Orlando, I know it's 294 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 5: Miami and Orlando, and you think they should be able 295 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 5: to handle Orlando at his one of the toughest back 296 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 5: to backs in the NBA. It happens to everybody that 297 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 5: the vaunted Florida back to back, it's not easy. And 298 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 5: now they go get Chicago here to end their three 299 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 5: game trip on Monday night. He easily make it for 300 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 5: no the way that they're locked in. This is this 301 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 5: is a team that came off that finals appearance and 302 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 5: is ready to destroy teams. As you said that, Jason 303 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 5: Tatums saying to Pola Boncaro's as j King wrote about 304 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 5: it on The Athletic, that dude is locked in. For 305 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 5: him to be doing that the second night of a 306 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: back to back in Florida, I think he doesn't need 307 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: to be doing that. He's Jason Tatum, but he he 308 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 5: is a great defender. When he wants to be, he is. 309 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: He's a part of one of the best defenses in 310 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 5: the league, so he doesn't get the credit, but when 311 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 5: he wants to be, he can be really, really great. 312 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: My winner of the weekend Damian Lillard. Let's stick with 313 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: these undefeated teams that were running through here. A lot 314 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: of noise surrounding Lillard during the offseason, a lot of 315 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: chatter about whether he was past his prime. You know, 316 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: he missed a majority of last season, had the injury, 317 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: looked like he didn't have the explosiveness anymore. And I 318 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: told you guys, doubt Damian Lillard at risk because this 319 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: guy is obviously a gamer and is in an He's 320 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: an MVP candidate when healthy. Over the last couple years, 321 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: he's always sort of in the mix of his team 322 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: can win enough games. But what a weekend for him. 323 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: I mean, the players are un defeated, and we'll get 324 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: to their defense, which are actually playing some which is 325 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: nice to see. But forty one point games back to 326 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 3: back for Lillard over the weekend, and it was amazing 327 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: because he didn't even hit like he had a huge 328 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 3: three against the Lakers. Don't be wrong, but he didn't 329 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: hit the game winning shot in either of those victories. 330 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: It was Simons with a really, really tough like sort 331 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: of float to runner against the Suns, and then it 332 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: was Jeremy Grant with the very tough bucket where he 333 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: got around Lebron and sort of snuck it up under 334 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: ad in that crazy Lakers game there on Sunday. But 335 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: just Damian literally just like, it's just awesome to see. 336 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: I'm excited to have this type of Lillard back here 337 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 3: where he's putting up forty points and his team is winning, 338 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: and the defense that they are pairing with, we always know, 339 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 3: an explosive offense when he's out there is nice to see. 340 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: Grant's a big part of it. I mean, obviously Gary 341 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: Payton second something'm playing, but Josh Hart and Lillard can't 342 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: stop talking to this guy. He's in love with. Josh 343 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: Hart is like, this guy plays tough as hell and 344 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: he doesn't need shots and he doesn't worry about his stats. 345 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: But in three games he is averaging thirteen ten and 346 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: four basically two steals in a lot of minutes, and 347 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: they need him to play, and the Blazers have a 348 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: top five defense. I mean, it's only three games. You know, 349 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: they played some good teams here though, but it's cool 350 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: to see Lillard quickly appreciate a guy like heart and 351 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: what he brings to the table. And yeah, I'd love 352 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: to see them like getting down getting some stops when 353 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: it gets into crunch time and you're always gonna have 354 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 3: a chance then when you have Lillard sort of operating 355 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: the offense. So happy to see the Blazers here with 356 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: three and. 357 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 5: Noo on paper, it does make sense when you see 358 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 5: guys that they've signed to surround Simon's and Damian Lillard in, 359 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 5: Josh Hart, in Justice Winslow and Jeremy Grant. Big ones 360 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 5: there and it's paying off. They played good teams other 361 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 5: than the Lakers, which we'll get to. Who couldn't you know, 362 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 5: hit the freaking side of a barn? But yeah, they 363 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 5: are scrapping. I love the way he gave it up 364 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 5: for those guys. Yeah, the game winners, both those dudes 365 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 5: guy that he's been longing to play for for a 366 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 5: long time in Jeremy Grant and the Anthony Simons. I 367 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 5: know you called it a float or push shot. I 368 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 5: like to call it a hook. It's not quite Yes 369 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 5: from a guard that's as hooky as you're gonna. 370 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: Get the vibe of a hook hook adjacent. 371 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 5: So that was cool. And the Lillard talking trash state 372 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 5: in that same game, Yes, on Friday eight, and could 373 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: tie it from the line there, and you can read 374 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 5: the lips so easily of Damian Lillard. You got it right. 375 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 3: You think they trust you with the game on the line. 376 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 3: Hell Na got in Eaton's head? Oh my god, he knows, 377 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: do they? And he missed the first one, which you 378 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: obviously had to hit. 379 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 380 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 3: Crazy, So any thoughts on the Blazers hot start here. 381 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 6: The only real couple of thoughts I have on the 382 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 6: Blazers is that, yeah, Lillard has been awesome, but even 383 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 6: dating back to the season opener against the Kings. It's 384 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 6: been the other guys making plays down the stretch that 385 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 6: are huge. Josh Hart was the guy against the Kings that, 386 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 6: like you said, Simon's and Grant so to get role 387 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 6: player contributions when it really matters. That takes a little 388 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 6: pressure off Damian Lillard to let him cook in Dame 389 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 6: time if you got to worry about literally anybody else 390 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 6: on the Blazers. 391 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: That helps. 392 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 6: The Other thing is that I wasn't aware Jeremy Grant 393 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 6: had added the Klay Thompson catch and shoot to his game. 394 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: He catches it, he never brings it down. 395 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 6: And this guy isn't really known as a three point shooter, 396 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 6: but he was looking good against the Lakers there obviously 397 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 6: hit the big shot as well, So great star for him. 398 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: Absolutely task. Let's do another round here, who else you 399 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: got another round? Many ones? 400 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're in a great mood. Well, we both picked 401 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 5: league pass teams to watch for the Grizzlies and the Rockets, 402 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 5: and they paid off. On Friday night, John Morant scored 403 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 5: forty nine monstrous points against the Houston Rockets and a 404 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 5: huge block with a few minutes left. I know you 405 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 5: you've got him as your woe Boy Winner of the 406 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 5: Weekend because of that monstrous line. Yeah, and the block 407 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 5: is probably the most impressive part. He scored forty nine 408 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 5: freaking points a great back and forth. 409 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: He could have had fifty by the way he gave 410 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 3: up the ball at the end when the Rockets had 411 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: to foul like they were sending John Moran to the 412 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 3: He had the ball, but he's like, you know, I 413 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 3: think he passed it, maybe to Bane or something like that. 414 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 3: He's like, here, you take it. He could have if 415 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: he selfishly wanted the first fifty burger of the season, 416 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: he could have had it. He could have ate it, 417 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 3: could have housed that burger. 418 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: But I know, whe Boy of the Weekend is up 419 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 5: on every platform that you're you're watching your stuff on 420 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 5: YouTube on night, YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. But you didn't 421 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 5: include the pass off in terms of the highlight died 422 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 5: you did you include the block? Hell yeah, a few 423 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 5: minutes long. He's got something going with Jayalen Green. It 424 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 5: feels like he wants to destroy Jailing Green. He just 425 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 5: that was what a block? What a block for a 426 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 5: guard to come back and do that. Yeah, they lost 427 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 5: by forty The next night, against the mass But who 428 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 5: cares Grizzlies a league pass lock, Rockets a league pass lock, 429 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 5: and the Rockets part of why they're great on league 430 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 5: pass they give up a lot of points.

I think it was, yeah, 437 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 3: maybe six, Yes. 438 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 5: Under twenty eight minutes of play, he had forty four 439 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 5: ridiculous points and he sat down the first time he's 440 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 5: at forty in his career in under thirty minutes of play. 441 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 5: Just chilling, Yeah, he's just chilling. It was forty four 442 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 5: and twelve rebounds. Got to throw that in there. What 443 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 5: a night. 444 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. The Ja Morant highlight package from that Rockets game, though, 445 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: it's I mean he has it. Always got the spin cycle, 446 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: he's got the dunks in transition great times. The huge 447 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 3: like you said, like out of nowhere block, I mean 448 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 3: he just gets the height he gets on these blocks. 449 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: How many like highlight blocks does this guy have already 450 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: in his career? 451 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you guys are talking about huge block and 452 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 6: I'm not exactly sure which one you mean from even 453 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 6: this game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, two really really nice ones. 454 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 6: I'm assuming you mean that one where he basically catches it. 455 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 6: But for all of the like explosive highlights that Ja 456 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 6: Morant has, the thing I was most impressed in the 457 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 6: forty nine point game is like the patience. He's not 458 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 6: playing at one hundred miles an hour when he's in 459 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 6: the lane. He is just able to keep his dribble 460 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 6: going until something finally opens up. 461 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 2: Easy layups, good stuff, and he's got. 462 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 3: The three point shot where he doesn't jump, doesn't he 463 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: basically right, he really does, like he's left. Go watch 464 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 3: his threes that he hits a lot of them. They're 465 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 3: wide open and he's just like basically flat footed Brook 466 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: Lopez style. He just goes up on his tippy toes 467 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 3: a little bit and hit five of them in this game. 468 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 3: So huge, huge performance. Yes, it's Willbli of the Weekend. 469 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do every night, but we'll look back 470 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 3: on Mondays and pick the best statistical line from Friday, 471 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, it was tough to overlook Giannis 472 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: forty four and again, like six minutes but we went 473 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 3: with John Rans forty nine, Tredy. What do you got? 474 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: A great weekend for the Denver Nuggets. 475 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 6: They beat the Warriors on the road on Friday, took 476 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 6: care of business against the Thunder at home on Saturday, 477 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 6: getting to win there after a surprising Wednesday night opening 478 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 6: season opening loss to the Jazz. 479 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: Also, first triple double of the. 480 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 6: Season for Jokic came against the Warriors twenty six, twelve 481 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 6: and ten against Raymond Green. Pretty impressive. Seven Nuggets scored 482 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 6: in double digits against the world champs and ideal bounce 483 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 6: back win after the dud against the Jazz. Jokic then 484 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 6: got his second triple double of the season against Oka 485 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 6: see nineteen sixteen and thirteen assists. Six Nuggets were in 486 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 6: double digits in this one, including sixteen for Jamal Murray 487 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 6: in his second game. He's not playing back to backs 488 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 6: quite yet, but still only at twenty five to twenty 489 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 6: seven minutes per game. Just looking more and more comfortable. 490 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 6: The chemistry is still there with Jokich, and gotta give 491 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 6: a shout out to Michael Porter Junior who's been balling 492 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 6: through the first three games of this season. Seventeen against 493 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 6: Golden State twenty two against Okac, he went fourteen of 494 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 6: twenty seven from the field, ten of twenty from three. 495 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 6: The biggest early days questions for the Nuggets we're going 496 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 6: to be can Jamal Murray return to form? Looks like 497 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 6: he's getting there, and can Michael Porter Junior return and 498 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 6: also reach his potential at the same time. It's kind 499 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 6: of a double question for that guy. But eighteen points 500 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 6: per game on fifty to fifty eighty shooting, that'll do. 501 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 5: That'll do. Yeah, very well done. And you've mentioned jaw 502 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 5: with the Grizzlies, not going one hundred miles an hour, 503 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 5: growing up a little bit yo kitches love and not 504 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 5: having to do as much as well, just finding the dudes, 505 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 5: playing with the dudes that he wanted to play with. 506 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 5: You must feel so happy that these guys are back. Yeah, 507 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 5: everybody looking comfortable. It's so good to see. Everybody's so 508 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 5: happy for Jamal Murray. That's that you watch a game, 509 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 5: you can see a lot of smiles on the Nuggets 510 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: bench because he's performing, and it's smart to not have 511 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 5: him in back to backs. I think, obviously I don't 512 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 5: know as a you know, the medical plan there, but 513 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 5: bring them along slowly. 514 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 3: It was nice. After they lost to the Jazz on 515 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 3: opening night or their season opener, we're like, oh god, 516 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: what's wrong with the Nuggets. Oh this is a bad start. Well, 517 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: the Jazz can't lose. They might be winning the championship 518 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: apparently this year, so not a bad loss. And then 519 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 3: they follow it up with these two back to back 520 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 3: wins there as they get their pieces back. So yeah, 521 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: good weekend there from the Nuggets. I'll throw in a 522 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: couple other ones. Benedict Mathrin the Pacers rookie, incredible start 523 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 3: to his career. He's coming off the bench and he's 524 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 3: averaging twenty four points per game, six boards, a couple 525 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 3: assists in under thirty minutes, and he's shooting fifty two 526 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 3: percent from the floor, even better from deep, fifty two 527 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: point four percent from three on seven three point attempts 528 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 3: per game. He is on fire. And none of this 529 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 3: it's gonna calme down a little bit, don't get me wrong, 530 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: But you watch him play, you're like, this is what 531 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 3: he's going to be in his career. He's going to 532 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 3: be a twenty five point per game score. He's just 533 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 3: has the tools for it. And I saw Zach Kram 534 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: really put it in perspective his start here. He's only 535 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: the fifth NBA player since nineteen eighty to score at 536 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 3: least seventy two points in his first three games here 537 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: of his career, and he joins Isaiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, 538 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, and Jerry Stackos getting in the next there, 539 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 3: so you can add uh thurin there and liked. We 540 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 3: have other rookies playing well, obviously Polo and Ivy and 541 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 3: stuff like that, but Mathern is I mean, this is 542 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 3: just Iowa. I mean it's this Pacers fans. They must 543 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 3: be over the moon. 544 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: They eat Steer. This is crazy, exactly exactly. 545 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 3: Stakos was a problem, but just for them to have 546 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: like obviously Halliburton, which they make that move last year, 547 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: and then now him, I mean, your back here you go, 548 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 3: here's here's your backcourt. And who cares how many games 549 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: you really win this year or lose. It's just the 550 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 3: development of these guys. So a little love to him 551 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: and to the guy that's always in our stream team 552 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: saying Benedict Mathern for a Rookie of the Year, who 553 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 3: was saying it in every preseason show we ever did 554 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 3: good prediction so far. 555 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're giving a lot of love to Benedict Matherne. 556 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 5: I will guarantee a national TV show that talks as 557 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 5: much about Benedict Mathern does not exist. There's nobody who 558 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 5: talks about Bennic Mathrine and the Pacers more than this show. 559 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 5: Because he can score at all three levels. He's good 560 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 5: at the rim. You can hear him in interviews. He's 561 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 5: obviously wise beyond his ears. He knows what the heck 562 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 5: he's doing. And he's coming off the bench. How much 563 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 5: longer you keep him up on the bench. This is 564 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: obviously the back court of their future. Could easily be 565 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year the way he's playing. And luckily 566 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 5: my Instagram feed fed me Pacers. Video of his mom 567 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 5: came in made Haitian food for the entire crew. Everyone 568 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 5: was very excited. Of course you'd be very excited. Mom 569 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 5: and sister actually came in. So I like my algorithm 570 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 5: right now, like what's happening, you know, change and change 571 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 5: on a whim. 572 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, watch one wrong video. 573 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 5: Yeh, your screw stand away from the discovery page. But 574 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 5: right now Haitian food for the Haitian Canadian Benedict Metha rang. 575 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: Awesome stuff for him. A couple other ones. Chris Paul 576 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 3: big milestone over the weekend. Eleven thousand career assists. He 577 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 3: joined John Stockton and Jason kidd Is the only players 578 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 3: in NBA history with that many dimes. And Chris Paul 579 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: first player in the league with twenty thousand points and 580 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 3: eleven thousand assists. And a little love to Christian Wood 581 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 3: because my god, he's balling off the bench for the MAVs. 582 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 3: He's putting up numbers. And Donovan Mitchell, I know we'll 583 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 3: get to him a little bit more maybe when we 584 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: talk about the Bulls and they're rough weekend, but this 585 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: guy three consecutive games of thirty plus and he blew 586 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 3: it at the end of regulation with a couple turnover 587 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: in yesterday's game against the Zards and over. But in 588 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 3: overtime he made up for it, and he apologized for 589 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 3: making everybody stick around for like another thirty to forty 590 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 3: five minutes. It's like, sorry about that. We should have 591 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: won in regulation, but he got it done in overtime. 592 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: Great start, I mean, really really strong start for Donovan 593 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 3: Mitchell in Cleveland. Any other winners they love him. They 594 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 3: love him in Cleveland, especially with the training MVP for him. 595 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, especially with Darius Garland going down with the the 596 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 5: eye injury and wearing some big shades on the bench. 597 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got a block out the light. 598 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess he is, because that's what 599 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 5: it is. It's some of those sunglasses. It's not like 600 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 5: the medical sunglasses that are huge in block out the light, 601 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 5: but they kind of act as that. And they're like 602 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 5: a name brand one, like you know, I don't know 603 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 5: what they are, a product, a gooch, but they've got 604 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 5: like the huge huge I don't even know what to 605 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 5: call him, panels, what does it called that side thing, 606 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 5: the side thing, I don't know.

You gotta do 663 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 5: The statistical analysis would have been faster to run there 664 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 5: or do the jump dead good move. 665 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll try and find that clip. Incredible stuff. That 666 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 3: was the highlight of the Hawks game from the Hawks 667 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 3: side of things, or it's played a lot better. All right, 668 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 3: let's take our first break. When we come back, we'll 669 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: get to our losers of the NBA weekend. Okay, time 670 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 3: for losers of the NBA weekend. I'll get a started 671 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 3: because there's a very obvious one, and it is the 672 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: Lakers three point shooting, which continues to in a way 673 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 3: impress how poorly they are this three ball. Through the 674 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: first three games of the season, the Lakers as a 675 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 3: team are twenty five for one hundred and eighteen from 676 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: three point range. That is on ice cold twenty one 677 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: point two percent clip per ESPNS. That's an info that 678 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 3: is the second worst three point percentage for any team 679 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 3: in history that has taken at least one hundred three 680 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 3: pointers over any three game span. Wow, that's crazy. We 681 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 3: are basically watching the worst three point shooting over a 682 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: three game span we've ever seen in terms of volume 683 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 3: to like the percentage they're hitting. And uh yeah, they 684 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 3: lose to the to the Blazers. They should have won 685 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 3: that game. I mean they're up like what seven, they 686 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: had it, they had their first w and they give 687 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: it away. Blazers played a big part in that, as 688 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: we talked about, but they just can't hit a three. 689 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 3: It was like I was watching the Hawks with Trey 690 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 3: Esker going, oh, this is what it feels like to 691 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 3: be a Lakers fan right now. Like the Hawks were 692 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 3: just missing wide open three after wide open three after 693 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: wide open three, Like they just can't hit it one. 694 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: Nobody can. That's the Lakers from the you know, from 695 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 3: the start of the season until now, and then we 696 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 3: had the Westbrook jumper too, which we need to talk about. 697 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 3: They are up one, the Lakers are Russ brings it up. 698 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: It's about thirty one seconds left, let's call it thirty 699 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 3: seconds eighteen seconds on the shot clock. The Lakers are 700 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 3: up one. This guy is what a fourteen to fifteen 701 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 3: year vet in the league, and the Blazers nrk. I mean, 702 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 3: Phillips even said so after the game, like play off them, 703 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 3: like try and tempt him to shoot, and Russ pulls 704 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 3: up from like the mid range jumper and clanks it. 705 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 3: And then obviously the Blazers go the other way and 706 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 3: we know how the game goes from there, and so 707 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 3: you know, people are piling on Westbrook and he had 708 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 3: another bad game and nobody can shoot. Like, what'd you 709 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 3: think about that decision? He says, they're doing it two 710 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 3: for one, which is like mind boggling. You're you're the 711 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: team up. That is a really weird way to go 712 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 3: about it. But thoughts on Russ's shot, the Lakers not 713 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 3: being able to to three, all this stuff going on. 714 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, so strange to see John zy billis decide use 715 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 5: off Nurkics should guard him. We've got a center guarding him. Really, 716 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 5: it makes sense just play way off him. In the end, 717 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 5: Westbrook's got to go to the rim on that one. 718 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 5: He just I know people, some people will say it 719 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 5: was a wide open shot. That's a good shot, somewhat early, 720 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 5: that's for sure. You can get a better shot. Lebron 721 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 5: James throws his hands up when it happens. If you 722 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 5: zoom in, everybody zoom in. He's upset because they could 723 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 5: have got a better shot than that. A better shot 724 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 5: would be a layup against the seven footer. And what's 725 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 5: got to happen is Russ has got to go to 726 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 5: the bench to get the confidence back, because if he's 727 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 5: going to the rim against backup guys, then he's got 728 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 5: the confidence at the end of games to be shooting 729 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 5: a little bit better. Yeah, I'm going a little too 730 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 5: deep there. It wasn't a great shot. It was a 731 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 5: bad performance to give away that whole game. Yeah, a 732 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 5: couple couple bad turnovers at the end for the Lakers there. Yeah, 733 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 5: just just all fell apart. It's odd to see a 734 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 5: Lakers team oh and three and this was their best 735 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 5: game of the you know, their three game runt here 736 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 5: and then they had it. They had this, and it's 737 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 5: only gonna get worse. Like Lonnie Walker looks all right, 738 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 5: you know, he's looking good. I thought some of those 739 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 5: shots are gonna go down. He sold me to in 740 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 5: the offseason, saying that he's gonna be a good three 741 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 5: point shooter. They just don't have They don't have lasers, 742 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 5: as Lebron said, they don't have anything. 743 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 2: They don't they got a defense. Yeah, they're in the 744 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: league in defense right now. 745 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 6: But the problem is that they're gonna be going up 746 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 6: against math as well every single night because right now, 747 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 6: like you mentioned, Skeets, they're thirtieth in the league in makes, 748 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 6: they're thirtieth in percentage, and they're seventh in attempts from 749 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 6: three point land because the shots are gonna be wide 750 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 6: open because you can guard Westbrook with the center, and 751 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 6: if you can guard with Westbrook with the center, there's 752 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 6: just gonna be a guy hanging out in the lane. 753 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 6: And the Lakers are good at scoring inside. Lebron scores 754 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 6: inside a lot, Anthony Davis scores inside a lot. 755 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: Those are worth two points every time. 756 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 6: They're gonna give up threes on the other end, and 757 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 6: they're never gonna be able to get him back until 758 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 6: somebody starts hit. And I don't think it's gonna be Westbrook. 759 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 6: He shouldn't be handling the ball with thirty seconds left, 760 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 6: is really what it comes down to. That should go 761 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 6: to Lebron or ad or somebody who can make a 762 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 6: wise decision with the ball, because right now, when Westbrook 763 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 6: takes a jumper, it's basically a turnover. 764 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 5: It's bad. Yeah, I guess the real rosy glasses outlook 765 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 5: could be Westbrook does start slow in seasons, maybe it'll 766 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 5: come around to some degree. Even he fooled me with 767 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 5: some of those the off season shooting, which were odd 768 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 5: offseason shooting videos because he was like running into shots 769 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 5: when he should be a set shot man when you're 770 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 5: playing with Lebron and Anthony Davis. But anyways, yeah, the 771 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 5: thirtieth in all those stats including offense, right, I think 772 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 5: they're thirtieth overall at. 773 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 3: Offense shooting twenty nine percent. Westbrook is from the floor 774 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 3: and it looks like a mistake. He's shooting eight point 775 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 3: three percent from deep on for three point attempts per game. 776 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 3: So it's like there's some ball in there. But you know, 777 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 3: you look up and down the roster, the nobody outside 778 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 3: of like Matt Ryan is hitting any threes with any 779 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 3: consistency that includes Lebron, And that's you know, none in 780 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 3: Beverly and Dad and Reeves and on and on Lonnie 781 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 3: Walker and nobody can Nobody can hit three on this team. 782 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: And that's a great point from Trey about the math problem. 783 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 3: It's like you've got to hit some in today's game, 784 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: like you have to hit them at a decent clip 785 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 3: to win a lot of these games, no matter how 786 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 3: good your defense is, and no matter how good Lebron 787 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: is playing still in your twenty and ad great defense 788 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 3: in that game against the players some huge blocks and. 789 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 5: Then they're gonna be frustrated physically frustrated too, because there 790 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 5: are gonna be more bodies in the lane. That's who 791 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 5: Bron and eight are gonna be running into because they 792 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 5: don't have to guard shooters. So there's gonna be some 793 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 5: some angry fellows in the locker room. That's understandable, and 794 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 5: Lebron didn't take the bait when asked about the Russell 795 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 5: Westbrook question after a nice swat. 796 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:53,959 Speaker 3: I see what you're doing. 797 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, but a better shot should have been had it 798 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 5: didn't the numbers that didn't make sense. 799 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 3: What do you for a loser of the weekend? 800 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 5: Well, this was a fun one. Luka Doncic with a 801 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 5: beautiful pass to his teammate off the backboard could be 802 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 5: one of the best passes of the season, an amazing pass, 803 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 5: but it was deemed to be a misshot by the 804 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 5: scorekeeper in Dallas. He makes a beautiful spin move to 805 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 5: get to the WHO, and he sees Dorian Finney Smith 806 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 5: flying in for an alup opportunity, so he throws it 807 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 5: off the glass for a donk and he calls immediately. 808 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 5: He immediately he says that was an assist. It was 809 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 5: look it up. It was asked about after game he said, 810 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 5: that was an assist. Why would I be given a 811 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 5: misshot on that? It absolutely was. It's starting to make 812 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 5: me think that if I went into a coma, as 813 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 5: we were asked in a Beach step In podcast before 814 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 5: the season, would you watch the top fifty assist or 815 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 5: the top fifty dunks. I'm starting to change my position. 816 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 5: I may watch the top fifty assist if they're going to. 817 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 3: Be I won't be on the highlight. That won't be 818 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 3: on the highlight. It's not an assist. That they screwed 819 00:37:59,640 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 3: it up. 820 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 5: If scores the officials did screw it up. But you 821 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 5: can retroactively go back and change it. They do that 822 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 5: all the time when guys are looking for a triple double. 823 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 5: Change it. What the heck are you waiting for? It 824 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 5: was a pass. 825 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 3: It's a pass. It's as if you really want to 826 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 3: get technical off the glass assists, jam them together glassist. 827 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 3: It reads a lot better than it is to say, 828 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 3: but uh, yeah, it's absolutely an assist. John Moran has 829 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 3: done this a number of times, uh, and it usually 830 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 3: goes overlooked. It's like because it is tough it's like, 831 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's like there's not many players in 832 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 3: the league that have the balls to even attempt these things. 833 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 3: I think it's something that is going to start happening 834 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 3: more and more. I've said before a long, long time 835 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 3: ago on this podcast, if you get creative, you have 836 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 3: like a sixth offensive player out there in a weird way. 837 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 3: If you can use the glass to uh, you know, 838 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 3: put it, put the ball off of it to get 839 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 3: it somewhere else to another teammate. But uh, do you 840 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 3: agree it was that one is an assist and they 841 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 3: got it wrong. 842 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 6: I agree only because Luca points at right away to 843 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 6: kind of claim as an assist because it looks like 844 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 6: a misshot. 845 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, looks like a misshot. 846 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 5: My first instinct was, no way, he throws it so 847 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 5: much power off that backboard, like the guy's got touched. 848 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna brick a layup attempt like that. 849 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I agree. 850 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 6: But also if he throws the assist straight to Dorian 851 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 6: Phinney Smith instead of going off the glass, he. 852 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: Would get an assist. 853 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 3: I think maybe next time. 854 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's smart. Maybe he just pointed at the 855 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 5: room after to claim it. To claim that that it 856 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 5: was an assist. Maybe it was. 857 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 3: I love him quickly he's doing it like he throws 858 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 3: it down. 859 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 2: He's like, that was an assist. Yeah, I'm meant to 860 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 2: do that. I'm meant to do that. 861 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, good one, Trey. What do you got? 862 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 2: I got the Minnesota timber Wolves as a loser. 863 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 6: They took care of business against Okay, see last night, 864 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 6: but they're getting loser of the weekend. For our pick 865 00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 6: and payoff game Friday versus the Jazz, turned out, it 866 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 6: was the. 867 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: Malik Beasley revenge game. 868 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 6: Pre game, John Krazinski reported that Malik Beasley's emotions heading 869 00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 6: into night against the Wolves kill anybody in front of me. 870 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 3: He went out. 871 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 6: And had fifteen points on sixteen shots, minor revenge. The 872 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 6: Jazz did get the win, thanks in part to Rudiobert 873 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 6: missing two free throws in overtime after a little trash 874 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 6: talk from Jordan Clarkson would have tied the game. Certainly, 875 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 6: the win I think means more to the Jazz than 876 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 6: it did to the Wolves, and early days loss in 877 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 6: overtime not the biggest thing to get concerned about. But 878 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 6: what was interesting is Anthony Edwards after the game he 879 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 6: had his first thirty point game of the season, said 880 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 6: the smaller we go, the better it is for me, 881 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 6: which is pretty interesting since the Wolves just traded their 882 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 6: entire future to go super super. 883 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 2: Huge every minute of the season. 884 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 6: Edwards definitely looked the most comfortable with a small lineup 885 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 6: out there. The driving lanes are a lot easier for him. 886 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 6: He was still productive with big men on the floor. 887 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 6: I think that just takes a little time to maximize 888 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 6: their offense. A little more concerning, I would say on 889 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 6: the defensive end for Minnesota, they've just been averaged so far. 890 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 6: They're getting beat on the glass and you can see 891 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 6: some cracks where the Jazz were put Rudy Gobert into 892 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 6: actions and then leaving Towns as the rim guy and 893 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 6: a lot of scrambling from Minnesota. There's probably no team 894 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 6: that knows better how to attack Rudy Gobert at this 895 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 6: point than the Jazz. They shot twenty threes on fifty attempts, 896 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 6: so they're getting up a lot of shots, shooting a 897 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 6: great percentage because they're wide open. No doubt Chris Finch 898 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 6: will get better planned out as the season goes on, 899 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 6: but this is going to be the problem for the 900 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 6: Wolves when it comes playoff time. Teams are still going 901 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 6: to want to go small against Minnesota, put Gobert into 902 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,720 Speaker 6: actions and force Towns to guard. 903 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 3: Will he be able to do it? We'll see. 904 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 6: It's a long season, but we can look back on 905 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 6: this game and be like, ooh, the jen has had 906 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 6: a little bit. 907 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 2: Of a blueprint here. 908 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, you can see that they're putting him in screen 909 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 5: or role action over and over and over again, just 910 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 5: to make sure that they got some moving. They got 911 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 5: the defense moving, then they're just kicking it around and 912 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,800 Speaker 5: they had thirty nine assists in that game on forty 913 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 5: nine field goals, which is ridiculous. You can look at 914 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert's stat line, say what twenty three boards. Great line, 915 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 5: But yeah, they did struggle moving around in that on 916 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,720 Speaker 5: that floor and covering all these Jazz when they're coming 917 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 5: at you from every single direction when every Jazz is 918 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 5: a weapon. That was It was a scrambling Timberwolves defense 919 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 5: if you watch them, and the Jazz were able to 920 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 5: knock down open jumper after open jumper. 921 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 3: Loser of the weekend to the Philadelphia seventy six ers, 922 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 3: they lost their third straight game to open the season, 923 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 3: and this one the third game they fell to the 924 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 3: Spurs one fourteen one five on Saturday night. Seventy six 925 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 3: Ers once again loudly booed by their home fans. If 926 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 3: you're keeping track, that's twice already this young NBA season 927 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 3: that they're getting booed on their home floor. This was 928 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 3: everybody chipping in for San Antonio. Six Spurs scored in 929 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 3: double figures. Now, the good thing for the Sixers is 930 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,520 Speaker 3: Embiad had a monster game, but uh oh, remember Harden 931 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 3: was killing it and Bean was struggling. Well, they flipped 932 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 3: it there on Saturday because Harden had a stinker game. 933 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 3: I think you shot like, what was it four of 934 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 3: eighteen or something like that. But then we also had 935 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 3: despite the really good game from Embid. Doc Rivers on 936 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 3: Friday was telling reporters that Eat had planter fasciitis this 937 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 3: summer and that's hampered his training and his conditioning and 938 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,439 Speaker 3: that's why he's like not playing long stints, so he's 939 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 3: like out of shape and it's just bad. I mean, 940 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 3: three loss in a row. This was a team that 941 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 3: we thought like championship contender number one see in the 942 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 3: East with a bang all this, Doc Rivers. I mean, 943 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 3: if this continues, I don't know. Like they have the 944 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 3: Pacers tonight, they have to win. They host them, they 945 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:27,720 Speaker 3: have to win. If they don't, I mean, they play 946 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 3: the Raptors twice, they play the Bulls, they play the Wizard. 947 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 3: So like they have teams that they probably should beat 948 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 3: in a majority of these games. But if they come 949 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,839 Speaker 3: out of it on the other side with a you know, 950 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 3: a two to seven record or something like that, Doc 951 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 3: Rivers could be gone. I think Morey would be forced 952 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 3: to make a change. And you have Dave Yager and 953 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 3: Sam Cassell on that on that bench, you could easily 954 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 3: see one of the I mean, Sam Cassell's never coached 955 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 3: as a head coach. Everybody's waiting for him to get 956 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 3: his chance, and of course Yager has had successence League. 957 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 3: I think I think if they can't get it together 958 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 3: here and get just get some w's on the board, 959 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 3: then then Doc's going to be golf in full time. 960 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 3: You'll probably be happy about But I don't. 961 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 2: Know, it's getting cold, getting colder. 962 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 3: Now, he won't be staying in Philadelphia. 963 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,439 Speaker 2: That's right, That's right. 964 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 5: But yeah, what I mean imagine hearing Doc Rivers yell 965 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 5: four on the golf course. Will he'd be able to 966 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 5: hear it. 967 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 3: Well, like through the first couple of holes, yes, but 968 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 3: then his voice yeah yeah. 969 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 5: But he was quite vocal about Joe and Be not 970 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 5: touching a ball for two months, and Embade had to 971 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 5: address it as well. Yeah, apparently, he said, I didn't. 972 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 5: I totally forgot that he was dealing with the planner 973 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 5: fasciatus two months of not touching a basketball before camp, 974 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 5: So there's an excuse there for the first couple of games. 975 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,879 Speaker 5: But then he bawled out, yeah, forty big ones and 976 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 5: this team. 977 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah there, there might be the worst team to watch too. 978 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 3: Vibes are bad, right, They are not a fun watch. 979 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 2: They are a dribble festival. 980 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 6: They take a ton of free throws, obviously with him 981 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 6: Be and Harden, and they just play so so slow. 982 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. 983 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 6: I just thought they were going to be a lot 984 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 6: more into the season to start, since they have such 985 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 6: a quality team. I'm not trying to have a little 986 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 6: perspective here. The Celtics were stinky through the first half 987 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 6: of last season and went to the finals. But you're right, 988 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 6: this feels like an oddly big week for the Philadelphia 989 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 6: seventy six ers to win some games against some easier competition, 990 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 6: and it's weird that we might have our first must 991 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 6: win game already of. 992 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: The season, Sixers versus Pacers. That doesn't add up to me. 993 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like MB thought I could chill out 994 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 5: for the first while of the season, then turn it on. 995 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 5: Let Harden take control of this team. But there's too 996 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 5: many good Eastern Conference teams. Even though they should handle Indiana, 997 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 5: Toronto's gonna want some revenge for their playoff loss. There's 998 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 5: gonna every night is going to be a battle. So 999 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 5: and Be turned it on and had an incredible night, 1000 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 5: but I think he wanted to chill out and slowly 1001 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 5: get better. But yeah, the problem with watching them is 1002 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 5: free throws. Historically, that's what happens. 1003 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, with those they played slow, and. 1004 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 5: That's got a piss off Doc, It's got a piss 1005 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 5: off Maxi. Those guys should be Maxie should be utilizing 1006 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,680 Speaker 5: the fast break all the time. And my problem is 1007 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 5: we kneel. We know what James Harden is create for 1008 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 5: ten fifteen seconds for himself, dribble, drible er. We'll figure 1009 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 5: it out, but sometimes it's I'm not even gonna run 1010 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 5: a play and just fire it off to a corner 1011 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 5: and that guy is sort of under the gun and 1012 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 5: just has to fire it himself, and that's just not 1013 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 5: a good possession. 1014 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 3: Or they weigh sixteen seconds trying to get embid post touch. 1015 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 3: I can't stand that either. Like they just takes sometimes 1016 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: way too long to just do whatever you're gonna do. 1017 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 3: And if the ball, if the players give it to Embeid, 1018 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 3: sure that's that makes sense, but they just it's so 1019 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 3: so slow at times, and that's I mean, that's how 1020 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 3: he plays, It's how hard and plays. So it's not 1021 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 3: really surprising your two stars play this this slower game 1022 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 3: and it can work. These guys are you know, superstar 1023 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 3: borderline still superstars in Harden's case, So I'm sure like 1024 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 3: they have to win tonight like that to me is 1025 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,319 Speaker 3: a bit of a must win game, a little bit 1026 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 3: like if the Pacers embarrass them and they're playing you know, 1027 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 3: fast and loose, they got nothing to lose. Really, oh 1028 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 3: to four when expectations are like number one seed, you know, 1029 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,279 Speaker 3: like be a terror. We'll see, we'll see how long 1030 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 3: doc is there a they need to turn it around. 1031 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,399 Speaker 3: Any other ones Trey. What do you got? 1032 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, mini loser to my beautiful balls. Took two losses 1033 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 6: this weekend on both ends of the sad spectrum. Friday 1034 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 6: Night lost to the Wizards on the road Tomorrow. DeRozan 1035 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 6: made a game winning three in Washington last year, but 1036 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,239 Speaker 6: the magic wasn't there on Friday Night. Just missed the 1037 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:35,959 Speaker 6: game winner from the top of the key A little 1038 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 6: bit long, little rattle job, see you later. Saturday Night 1039 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 6: got smizzoked by the Calves, lost by thirty two. They 1040 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,959 Speaker 6: scored on two possessions the last six minutes of the game. 1041 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 6: Ugly stuff from Chicago. The only silver linings of the weekend. 1042 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 6: Zach Lavine came back against the Calves, had a little 1043 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 6: burst twenty three points on nine to seventeen shooting. Yeah, 1044 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 6: Javonte Green did some cool dunks, but uh, Balls offenses 1045 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,359 Speaker 6: looking pretty sluggish to start the season without Lonzo there. 1046 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 6: But honestly, these are stealth winners for both the Wizards 1047 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 6: and Calves because Bradley Beal was nails against the Balls 1048 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 6: nineteen points eight assists scored the last six for Washington, 1049 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 6: hit two massive buckets under a minute to win it, 1050 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 6: and then the Calves we talked about a little bit earlier, 1051 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 6: but a big shout out to Jonavan Mitchell thirty two 1052 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 6: nine and eight against Chicago, thirty seven to five and 1053 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 6: four against the Wizards yesterday. Darius Garland's been out and 1054 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 6: Mitchell has stepped his game up and he's doing it 1055 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 6: with flair crossovers. 1056 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: Passing, no look. Alley oops to Dean. 1057 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 6: Wade still counts as an alley oop as you finish 1058 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,720 Speaker 6: it with a layup, but still a huge weekend highlight 1059 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,080 Speaker 6: wise and numbers wise for Mitchell. And and you know, 1060 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 6: the Wizards are doing well, and people say, we don't 1061 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 6: talk about the Wizards, so you know, shout out to 1062 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 6: the Wizards. 1063 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 2: They did it. 1064 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they did it. 1065 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 5: They're right, we don't talk about we don't really talk 1066 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 5: about the Wizards. It's hard, it's hard to fit it 1067 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 5: all in. But there were scrappy bunch this weekend and 1068 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 5: they scrapped out against the Calves on Sunday as well. 1069 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 5: It was it was a good battle and o t battle, 1070 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 5: but the Calves are just too scrappy and they got 1071 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 5: guys that got up not just an alley oop finished 1072 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 5: with a layup for Dan Wade, but he also had 1073 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 5: a hammer. He had a hammer dunk and he got 1074 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 5: hammered to the floor as well. Calves are deep, baby, 1075 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,479 Speaker 5: they're sitting at two in one. It's tough East, tough East. 1076 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 5: Every night's a battle, every night's a battle on the 1077 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 5: Eastern cover. It's no joke. 1078 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Was that the biggest, Like, I mean, it's we're 1079 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,760 Speaker 3: four nights in, five nights in? Was that the worst 1080 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 3: loss of the season so far by any team? 1081 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 5: The Bulls there, Grizzley's lost by forty one. 1082 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 3: To the There you go, that's that's probably that's gotta 1083 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 3: be it. That's a shocking one for sure. Any other 1084 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:39,440 Speaker 3: mini losers of the weekend? 1085 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 5: Well, Zion Williamson hit the floor really hard, so we 1086 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 5: got to mention it. Hopefully it's very very minor and 1087 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 5: he'll be back very soon. 1088 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 3: Bruised an ash cheek. 1089 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 5: Yes, but I mean it's called a posterio posterior hip contusion, 1090 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 5: so it's a bruce hip. It's more of a hip, 1091 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 5: and they're happy that it didn't veer over to the 1092 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 5: ass portion because you don't want to bruce tailbone. That's 1093 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,799 Speaker 5: far worse. So it's just a bruised hip. Now his 1094 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 5: team was coming back without him anyways against the Jazz, 1095 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 5: so it was good to sit on the bench. Unfortunately, 1096 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 5: they lost Brandon Ingram as well. But Zion Brandon Ingram 1097 00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 5: should be back very soon. But we should mention it 1098 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 5: because when Zion's on the injury report, you got to 1099 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 5: talk about it one other thing another report. 1100 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 6: Ingram is more of like a concussion protocol problem, right, 1101 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 6: And I mean, we'll see how long they're out, and 1102 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 6: I'm they'll be back eventually this season, you know, pretty quickly, 1103 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 6: it does seem like. But the next two weeks the 1104 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,399 Speaker 6: Pelicans have the MAVs, Sons, Clippers, Lakers, and Warriors. That's 1105 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 6: a pretty tough schedule to be missing probably your two 1106 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 6: best scorers in Zion and Ingram, depending on how long 1107 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 6: they're out. Every win matters for sure this season, especially 1108 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 6: in the Western Conference. So take a couple of losses 1109 00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,399 Speaker 6: there might play out play in time. 1110 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 5: You know, that's totally true. C J. McCollum, luckily for them, 1111 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 5: is bawling. He's doing his thing. But yeah, every win 1112 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 5: does matter. Even though we look in in April we're like, 1113 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,879 Speaker 5: oh yeah, this this is a huge game. The games 1114 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 5: do matter. In October two that's right. 1115 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 3: You said you had another one. 1116 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, quickie. We had that little scuffle over the weekend, 1117 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 5: Caleb Martin and Christian Koloko. 1118 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 3: Yeah we did. What the hell's wrong with Caleb Martin? 1119 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 3: He went nuts? 1120 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 5: He went nuts, So what the hell's going on here? Yeah, 1121 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 5: that's so funny. But the loser to me is the 1122 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 5: NBA for hitting Christian Koloko with a fine. Well, he 1123 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,920 Speaker 5: got it. So Caleb Martin gets a game. Yeah, Nikola Jovich, 1124 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 5: who's on the Miami Heat bench, Nikola Yovich, don't call me, 1125 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 5: Nikola Jokic is on the Heat bench. He got fined 1126 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 5: a game as well because he left. And that's what 1127 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 5: Nick Nurse was upset about. After the game, Raptors head 1128 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 5: coach said, immediately, a lot of guys left the bench. 1129 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 5: A lot of guys on their team left the bench. 1130 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 5: They did, one got suspended anyway, and then Christian Koloko 1131 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,560 Speaker 5: this is what he was fined fifteen thousand k for. 1132 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 5: And this is a second round pick. Okay, every every 1133 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 5: dollar matters to him. So fifteen thousand dollars for grabbing Martin, 1134 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:12,439 Speaker 5: for grabbing Caleb Martin during the altercation, grabbed him, grabbing now. 1135 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, No, yeah, you're right. He probably shouldn't have 1136 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 3: was he supposed to do? 1137 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 5: He was getting chucked by a man. Should he just 1138 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 5: go flying like your guy at the Atlanta Hawks game 1139 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 5: and playing musical chairs into the chair he flew into 1140 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 5: the first row. 1141 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 3: I got bad news about that clip, by the way, 1142 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 3: well JD was doing the ad rate. I looked it 1143 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 3: up and they did they cut away, like they cut 1144 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 3: away back to the broadcast on the Hawks. Yeah, so 1145 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 3: we're not gonna have it. Well, maybe I could talk 1146 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 3: to somebody at the Hawks, but anyway, uh yeah, the 1147 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 3: Caleb like for those that don't know, we don't have 1148 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 3: that clip. But it's like, there's they're fighting for a rebound. 1149 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 3: There's some classic tying up. I mean maybe Colloco gets 1150 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 3: an arm up too high. He goes down and Martin 1151 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 3: steps over him. Yeah, he steps to him and over him, 1152 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 3: and it's sort of like, oh god, I mean, now 1153 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,080 Speaker 3: what do you do. You gotta like get up and 1154 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,280 Speaker 3: at least get guy in the guy's face. So Coloaco 1155 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 3: pops up and then Martin like spears them into the 1156 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 3: into the first round. Now there's they're sort of lucky 1157 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 3: nobody was sitting there like they were just empty sits 1158 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 3: there in Miami and uh, and then that was sort 1159 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 3: of it. And then everybody comes in and pulls them apart, 1160 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 3: like that's really all that happened. But it was definitely Martin. 1161 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 3: It's he was the aggressor in the situation, and I 1162 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 3: guess they got gave him the games.

That might be 1168 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 3: a thing in the NBA where you get ding no 1169 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 3: matter what. 1170 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, according to the athletics, I followed the athletic shamp 1171 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 5: Sharania reporting for this one.

Oh that's a well 1184 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 3: executed spirit. If I'm being honest. 1185 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:37,439 Speaker 6: That's a rule of the Miami hate have to get 1186 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 6: in a fight on the court in the first one 1187 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 6: month of the season. It's just part of Peach Culter. 1188 00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 6: Last year it was against the Nuggets. This year it 1189 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 6: was against the Raptors. So you don't want to catch 1190 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 6: him the first three weeks of the season they're fighting you. 1191 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,399 Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's interesting these teams play again tonight. Yeah, 1192 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 3: I had forgotten about this new NBA schedule where we 1193 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 3: have like these like little baseball series a lot more 1194 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 3: than we ever had. Where Toronto is in South Beach, 1195 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 3: they played on Saturday night, that's when that incident happens, 1196 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 3: and then they just stick around for a day really 1197 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 3: two days, and then play again tonight. And there's gonna 1198 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 3: be a lot more of that where you just like 1199 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,759 Speaker 3: go and just play the team twice. It's a cut 1200 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 3: down on travel. But I wonder what impact it has 1201 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 3: on how difficult it is to beat like decent teams 1202 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,359 Speaker 3: twice in a row. There's that and then just like 1203 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,359 Speaker 3: something like this happens, does it like spill over into 1204 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 3: the next game a little bit? Our emotions higher than 1205 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 3: maybe they would have been if they don't meet again 1206 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 3: until you know, February, and nobody. 1207 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 5: Cares, especially when something like that happens. Where as Ziggy 1208 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,320 Speaker 5: puts it in the stream, team you got Cayla Martin 1209 00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 5: Arthur fisted up because he had those fists all. 1210 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 3: He was not happy with the loco fighting for that 1211 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 3: board and getting them a little bit. 1212 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 5: And respect to JD not treating this as oh, I'm 1213 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 5: back at work Monday bringing in the clip there after 1214 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 5: I called him out on Friday. 1215 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 3: I called you out for something winter the weekend, JD. 1216 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, I called you out for not bringing in a clip. 1217 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 5: I forget what it was, JD. 1218 00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 3: Remember it was it. 1219 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 5: I don't know, but but well it wasn't bringing in 1220 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 5: a clip.

But let's hear who we missed 1232 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 3: in your opinions. Pick the results from Friday night. It 1233 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 3: was Utah Minnesota. Big line. The Wolves were favored by eight. 1234 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 8: And a half. 1235 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 3: Task took the Jazz. We took the Wolves, and I 1236 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 3: think they were up big for a second and then 1237 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 3: was you know, wiped off the board. So Task goes 1238 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 3: to four and oh we're one and three here TK 1239 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,279 Speaker 3: jesus rough rough start for us.

The Blazers can lose by two 1249 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 5: or win if you're taking them via point spread skeets, 1250 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,439 Speaker 5: and I think Denver will win by three or more 1251 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 5: while the Blazers are taken by Traker. 1252 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be completely honest here.
