1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat get a great game from an unlikely source.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: The Blazers get a fourth quarter from someone who's done

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: it many times. But it had been a minute. And

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: Steph Curry keeping that MVP race convoluted or is he

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: simplifying it? Huh? Makes you think. Hey, I'm tas Malus

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: and this is what you need to know. In the

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: NBA for Friday, February twelve, the number one seed in

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: the East, the Philadelphia seventy six Yers visiting the Portland

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Trail Blazers, and it was MVP candidate Joel Embiid who

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: got his team out to a great start. Now stop

11
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: me if you've heard this before. Embiid had twenty three

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: points in the first half, the most twenty point first

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: halfs in the NBA this season with eight. It was

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: a week to the day when he had a monstrous

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: first half against the Blazers, twenty five points in a

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: quarter against the Blazers last Thursday, and then they lost. Yeah,

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving away the ending. Carmelo Anthony was the story

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. In fact, for me, the story

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: was actually that the Blazers have created the first gray

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: jersey that is universally loved. But are they gray? Maybe

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: that's why they're universally loved, because they're not gray at all.

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Portland needed Mellow in the fourth quarter because Ben Simmons

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: that six to eleven frame did a great job to

24
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: take away Damian Lillard's six' to two flow from the.

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Start he had a rough shooting. Night Is Ben simmons six?

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Eleven he's listed at. That i've stood Beside Ben simmons

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: before six? Eleven that sounds. Tall. Look Gary trent had

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a good night for The blazers with five, threes But

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: mellow gave him the. Ball he took over seventeen points

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, alone truly a throwback performance for

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: a guy who will finish top ten all time in

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: the NBA's scoring. Ranks bankers hands in his face didn't.

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Matter lots of threes to the. Head, ooh Classic mellow

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: night nights like. THIS i think what our Friend Morgan mitchell,

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: said IF i Say, Mello i'm always thinking About Carmelo,

36
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: anthony Not LaMelo. Ball how long will that? Last? Though

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: how long will that? Last LaMelo ball is? COMING i

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: guess maybe it will for a. While zoe is Still

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: alonzo morning and Not lonzo ball And jello is still

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: the vessel for vodka shots and Not leangelo ball I. Amo,

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Anyway Miami, houston let me give you two, Words Max. Struce,

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: no it's not a fancy dessert or. Chocolate he's a

43
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: player who dropped twenty one for The Miami. Heat see

44
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: now it feels like A Miami heat. Season a guy

45
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: seemingly out of nowhere lifting his team to a. Victory

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and it was a unique line of. Work twenty one,

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: points zero, rebound zero, assists zero, steals zero, blocks and zero.

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Turnovers what the last player to have a game like

49
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: that Was Catino mobley in two thousand and. Seven all

50
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: The rockets threw up fifty three point, attempts much to

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: the chagrin of the inside THE nba. Crew they weren't enjoying.

52
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: It but The rockets didn't have their best two point

53
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: threat their starting Center Christian wood he's at with an ankle,

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: injury And Victor oladipo he also left this game with

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: a foot and ankle, Injury So John wall couldn't carry

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: the team on his, own although he got lots of.

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Help Steven sallas has these guys working so much so

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: that it was a three point game with only a minute,

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: left and this is also why it was a Very

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 1: Miami heat type. Game miami missed on their last two,

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: possessions but they rebounded both they wanted from the free throw.

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Line that's A Miami heat. Game Jimmy butler grabbed one

63
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: of those offensive. Rebounds he had twenty seven, points ten,

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: rebounds and tennisis for the triple. Double it might feel

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Like i'm cheering on The Miami heat this, season and

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440

00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: to play point A bacon. Strusl that sounds delicious right.

76
