WEBVTT - NBA Feb. 12 | What You Need To Know

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The Miami Heat get a great game from an unlikely source.

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>The Blazers get a fourth quarter from someone who's done

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>it many times. But it had been a minute. And

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry keeping that MVP race convoluted or is he

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>simplifying it? Huh? Makes you think. Hey, I'm tas Malus

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and this is what you need to know. In the

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>NBA for Friday, February twelve, the number one seed in

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the East, the Philadelphia seventy six Yers visiting the Portland

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Trail Blazers, and it was MVP candidate Joel Embiid who

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>got his team out to a great start. Now stop

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>me if you've heard this before. Embiid had twenty three

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>points in the first half, the most twenty point first

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>halfs in the NBA this season with eight. It was

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a week to the day when he had a monstrous

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>first half against the Blazers, twenty five points in a

0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>quarter against the Blazers last Thursday, and then they lost. Yeah,

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving away the ending. Carmelo Anthony was the story

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter. In fact, for me, the story

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>was actually that the Blazers have created the first gray

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>jersey that is universally loved. But are they gray? Maybe

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that's why they're universally loved, because they're not gray at all.

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Portland needed Mellow in the fourth quarter because Ben Simmons

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that six to eleven frame did a great job to

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>take away Damian Lillard's six' to two flow from the.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Start he had a rough shooting. Night Is Ben simmons six?

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Eleven he's listed at. That i've stood Beside Ben simmons

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>before six? Eleven that sounds. Tall. Look Gary trent had

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a good night for The blazers with five, threes But

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>mellow gave him the. Ball he took over seventeen points

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter, alone truly a throwback performance for

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>a guy who will finish top ten all time in

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the NBA's scoring. Ranks bankers hands in his face didn't.

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Matter lots of threes to the. Head, ooh Classic mellow

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>night nights like. THIS i think what our Friend Morgan mitchell,

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>said IF i Say, Mello i'm always thinking About Carmelo,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>anthony Not LaMelo. Ball how long will that? Last? Though

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>how long will that? Last LaMelo ball is? COMING i

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>guess maybe it will for a. While zoe is Still

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>alonzo morning and Not lonzo ball And jello is still

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the vessel for vodka shots and Not leangelo ball I. Amo,

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Anyway Miami, houston let me give you two, Words Max. Struce,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 1>no it's not a fancy dessert or. Chocolate he's a

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>player who dropped twenty one for The Miami. Heat see

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>now it feels like A Miami heat. Season a guy

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>seemingly out of nowhere lifting his team to a. Victory

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was a unique line of. Work twenty one,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 1>points zero, rebound zero, assists zero, steals zero, blocks and zero.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Turnovers what the last player to have a game like

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 1>that Was Catino mobley in two thousand and. Seven all

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>The rockets threw up fifty three point, attempts much to

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the chagrin of the inside THE nba. Crew they weren't enjoying.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>It but The rockets didn't have their best two point

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>threat their starting Center Christian wood he's at with an ankle,

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>injury And Victor oladipo he also left this game with

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a foot and ankle, Injury So John wall couldn't carry

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the team on his, own although he got lots of.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Help Steven sallas has these guys working so much so

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that it was a three point game with only a minute,

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>left and this is also why it was a Very

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Miami heat type. Game miami missed on their last two,

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>possessions but they rebounded both they wanted from the free throw.

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Line that's A Miami heat. Game Jimmy butler grabbed one

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of those offensive. Rebounds he had twenty seven, points ten,

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>rebounds and tennisis for the triple. Double it might feel

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Like i'm cheering on The Miami heat this, season and

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that's CUZ i. AM i just want their finals appearance

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>from last season to be. REAL i want basketball to

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.760

<v Speaker 1>smile Rookie Cole, Anthony orlando Lost Frank mason the third

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>in the first, quarter and shooting Guard Dwayne bacon had

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to play point A bacon. Strusl that sounds delicious right.

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Now curry hit ten threes Ten he has done that

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>seventeen times in his. Career the next highest player to

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>do It clay with. Five. Ridiculous curry had forty points

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in this. Game picked your storyline for THE mvp race this?
