17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: one on the season if you're keeping track, which we are,

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: and it was Marvin Bagley the third with a real

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: quickie there in Brooklyn. They were confused. Jordy Fernandis was,

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: It's like, why are we call him this? The thing

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: fell out. He maybe had a point. It didn't stick long,

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: but they blew the whistle. It's a weggie. In fact,

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: the broadcasts they said, if there's a whistle, there's a weggie.

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: And I love that. So that's really great.

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: Actually fifty one yeah, yeah, So Sarahkustack was on the

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: call too. She's like, yeah, it's stuck there longer in

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: the slow motion replay, Harry, True.

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: There's a whistle. There's a way right, not nice, that

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: was very nice.

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: Put it on a fridge magnet.

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I said, that's right, that's right, that's right.

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: Put that on a T shirt, like, that's a cool thing.

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 4: I mean, we're probably gonna set the record for weggies

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: this year. White possible, knock on, wood knock on to

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,479

Speaker 1: A little fashion show. I got on the Skyhawks sweat

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: shirt monochromatic.

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. From last night.

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: We had a blast going down to the Gateway Center

52
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: Arena in College Park calling Raptors nine oh five and

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: the Skyhawks game. And for once with us on the call,

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: we got a competitive game and we got a Skyhawks

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: win that maybe happened once before, but anyway, it was

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: a close game, which was nice, high scoring one.

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: That was fun, super fun.

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 4: We learned a new tactic that NBA coaches can deploy.

59
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: Coach Steve KLi of the College Park Skyhawks, at one

60
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: point in the first half, got very upset with this

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 4: team's performance, punched a clipboard. Suddenly there's blood all over

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: the court. Had to call a timeout clean up his blood.

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: Turns out the coach was bleeding from the finger free

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: time out. But it was very funny to see him

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: coaching with his hand behind his back as the trainer

66
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: is taping him up and bandaging him, He's doing everything

67
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: else with his other hand. Hey hey, one, one, seven, seven,

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: maybe somebody could do that, Like that's the new Jason

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: Kid move.

70
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that's the evolution of kid getting

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: his own player to run into him and spill the

72
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: diet coke. They just talked about that on the Hoop Collective.

73
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: I heard Bontempsen Windhorse bringing that up. But yeah, this

74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: is this is next level task. You just gotta cut yourself.

75
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: You You compared it to like a wrestler with the

76
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: razor blade right on the forehead.

77
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: What coach cly was doing last night.

78
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, Coach Clide came up to us and said, hey,

79
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: I invented a new timeout because he was pint of blood.

80
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a lot of blood from just the pinky.

81
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: I just pinky, yeah, And I was confused. I heard

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: the whiteboard hit the ground. I looked on over and

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: I just thought he threw it on the ground. Yeah, yeah,

84
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: he must have gave it, gave it a good punch

85
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: with that left hand that They bandaged him, then re

86
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: bandaged him at halftime with a different color bandage. He

87
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: went from white. It was a lot of blood. It was.

88
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: It was for a whiteboard punch.

89
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: But it helped inspire the team as the Skyhawks got

90
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: the win. I think we shared a link to at

91
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: least the highlights of the game if you want to

92
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: check that out there and you're in the stream team.

93
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: But let's get into some NBA games, and let's start

94
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: with the Lakers, because they lost a heartbreaker on Tuesday,

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: one ten, one nine defeat to the Magic. Wendell Carter

96
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Junior hit a layup with seven seconds remaining. It gave

97
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the Magic a one point lead, but the Lakers ran

98
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: a play out of the timeout to get a final shot.

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: And you're going to see here out of the.

100
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Time out, Luca had an open look here as he

101
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: gets open at the top for a potential game winning

102
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: three pointer, he hesitates, though he picks up the rock,

103
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: he hands Lebron the grenade and his desperation three as

104
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: time expires. No good, Magic win, Magic win. And there

105
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk about this particular play task

106
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: after the game, and Lucas said, quote, I know I

107
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: was open, but I just thought I was a little

108
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: bit far. Tried to take one dribble closer, and I

109
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have picked up the ball and I should

110
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: have tried to attack.

111
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: What do you think all his teammates thought he was

112
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: letting it go. Yeah, DeAndre Ayton set a moving screen

113
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: to get him open which was very nice, but he

114
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: should have rolled to the rim to get everybody away

115
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: from Luca. Instead, he just stood there and that allowed

116
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Pala Bancaro to get up closer to Luca. He had

117
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: nowhere to go, and then he gives Lebron a grenade. Here,

118
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: you do it, and he has to let it go

119
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: at the end of the clock. Ruey also over there,

120
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: which doesn't provide any space in the short corner, so

121
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: it was absolutely designed for Luca to let it rip.

122
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: He also just didn't feel good. I'm sure this entire

123
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: game he was two of ten from three, four of

124
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: nine from the free throw line. He did not feel good.

125
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: But still that play was all set up and there

126
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: was just a clump of men up there for no reason.

127
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: He should have just let it rip. Yeah, I guess

128
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: it's a deep Luca three.

129
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: I mean.

130
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the one thing I was like, Okay

131
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: for a lot of NBA guys, Yeah, maybe not that one.

132
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: Not for a Luca. We seen him take that show

133
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: a million times.

134
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, very weird, very weird set up to it as well,

135
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: with all the Lakers just like sprinting after off court,

136
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: getting organized as quick as possible, and I mean, he

137
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: had basically two looks at it right, like the first grade,

138
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 4: he's wide open. He probably could have still forced up

139
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: the one after the dribble. But like Tas said, two

140
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: for ten from three. He had a couple of jumpers

141
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. But for a Lakers team that's

142
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: been really good in the clutch this year, not a

143
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 4: great clutch performance all around. I thought, like Lebron, this

144
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: ain't going on his career highlight reel, missed a free

145
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: throw at a couple of minutes left. He was guarding

146
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: Bain on that big three and he just completely lost

147
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: track of him. It wasn't like Bain was moving around.

148
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 4: He went and set up on the left wing, but

149
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: Lebron was ball watching. Nice passed by Polo to knock

150
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: it down, and then you know, it would have been

151
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 4: an amazing shot if he knocks down that three after

152
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: the Luca passed, but you know, still off the glass,

153
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: off the rim. So I thought Lebron was just no rhythm,

154
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: Like he barely touched the ball down the stretch. They

155
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 4: got him that lay up on the baseline out of

156
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: bounds play, but other than that, it was like he

157
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: had a fast break opportunity where he basically fell over.

158
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: He was having trouble getting around to Anthony Black.

159
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: I thought.

160
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: This just a bad loss for the Lakers, I thought,

161
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: and a really really great game for Paula Bonkaro.

162
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: Yes, which he needed I think here on the resume.

163
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a worse loss than the loss of

164
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics on the weekend that was in Boston,

165
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: that where they were destroying them in the second quarter.

166
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: This Lakers game at home against the Magic was a

167
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: winnable game, and so that one was far different and

168
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: this one, Yeah, they just gon't execute down the stretch.

169
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: And Luca as good as a quarterback he was in

170
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: this game, he was doing that pretty well. It was

171
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: a lot of dribbling the heck out of the ball

172
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: watching those possessions, and they just didn't know what they

173
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: were doing offensively. And that's the worst part. We know

174
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: this team's not going to be great defensively with the

175
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: trio of Reeves, Luca and Lebron's going to be a

176
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: struggle bus that's going to happen, But the offense should

177
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: bail them out, and the last few weeks it hasn't.

178
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: And that's the more worrisome part. Here for the Lakers.

179
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they posted their second lowest point total this season

180
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: against the Celtics in that game that they lost, and

181
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: then they shot horrendously from three in this one against

182
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the Magic after the lebron miss nine to twenty nine.

183
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: As a team.

184
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: Also, Austin Reeves, where are you? It is just like

185
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: not involved that much. He took five shot attempts in

186
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: the first half. He didn't score until the third quarter

187
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: of this game. And your right test, like this team,

188
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, it's gonna be because of offensive reason.

189
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: So when they struggle there, they don't have much chance.

190
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: And also with all that said, Ben Carrol misses a

191
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: shot with like ten seconds to go, Lakers grabbed that rebound.

192
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: It's the foul game maybe at free throws and you

193
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: probably pull this out. They couldn't secure that defensive board.

194
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: It landed in Wendell Carter Junior's hands and Johnny on

195
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the spot there put it in that gave them the

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: lead before the whole play which by the way, like

197
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm seeing like unbelievable play call by JJ Reddick. It

198
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: did result in Luca having an open look, but like

199
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: what was Ben.

200
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Carrol will so doing. There was not a lot of

201
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: moving parts on this play.

202
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: They just all started in the back court, all ran up,

203
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: sort of just bumped into each other, and BN Carroll

204
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: just like let Luca sort of get to the three

205
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: point line, you're right eight, and then sort.

206
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: Of sort of got in the way that's a great movie.

207
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: Hero should have.

208
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he just sort of I thought he just

209
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: like just left him. If Luca takes the shot and hits,

210
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: it's like, what are you doing? So strange because there

211
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: was another play too, where I guess it was bane

212
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: that you could give the blame to Lebron just cut

213
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: right to the rim on a baseline out of bounds

214
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: play put the Lakers like back up. I think it

215
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: did so, like, you know, not the greatest defensive stands

216
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: here for both teams.

217
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bain lay in where everybody was sort of

218
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: overhelping on that possession, and then the double offensive rebound

219
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: really the one that went to Anthony Black and then

220
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: ended up in Wendell Carter's hands reaction We're airball to three.

221
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: Just bad plays in the fourth quarter for this team overall.

222
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: Anything else on this one.

223
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: I did think Paula was awesome in this one thirty

224
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: six points, ten rebounds, six assists. He did have four turnovers,

225
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: but got to the free throw line eleven times, And

226
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: it looked to me like he was dictating out there

227
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: rather than reacting to what was happening or trying to

228
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: fit in at all.

229
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: He was getting mismatches. He was exploiting his size for sure.

230
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: Anytime they were switching a small guy onto him, he

231
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: was getting to his jumper, and the jumper was okay

232
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: last night. But he had a lot of rim attempts

233
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: as well. Then down the stretch, had a three pointer.

234
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: They left him wide open but knocked him down, had

235
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: a really tough layup, and then found Baine for you know,

236
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: I guess the second biggest shot of clutch time on

237
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: that three where Lebron was not paying attention. So this

238
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: is the kind of game, like you're saying that Paolo

239
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 4: needed magic stracking putting some wins together here. At the

240
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: very least, they beat the Clippers, they beat the Lakers.

241
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: They've beaten some bad teams as well, but they've gotten

242
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: themselves back into the mix for the sixth seed.

243
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this was without Franz and without Jalen Suggs,

244
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: who is their engine defensively. So yeah, more a disappointing

245
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: game for the Lakers than an overwhelmingly good win for

246
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 3: the Magic. But they have strung some wins together here,

247
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: back to back in LA and some other ones.

248
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

249
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and they they lost to that jail in

250
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Green right in the double overtime. You know, that's a

251
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: potentially winnable game. But this they're doing okay on the

252
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: road trip. After beating the Kings, losing to the Suns

253
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: in double overtime, now beating both the La TI Tas.

254
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another team struggling, but in the other conference,

255
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell, they're not struggling.

256
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: He was great.

257
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Twenty three points James Harden out of twenty. Cavaliers pulled

258
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: away in the second half for the one oh nine

259
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: ninety four victory over the New York Knicks. Cleveland used

260
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: a lockdown third quarter trade. Twenty three to eleven was

261
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: the score of the third quarter, So eleven points for

262
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks. I saw Twitter calling them the

263
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: New York Bricks, okay, because there was a lot of mishots. Yeah,

264
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: they shot three to twenty four. The Knicks did in

265
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: the corner. The worst shooting quarter by the Nicks in

266
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, you gotta go way back. But they struggled

267
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: all night really offensively.

268
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cleveland didn't play all that well offensively in the

269
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: third quarter either. Twenty three points, you know you average

270
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: it out, that's under one hundred for a game. That's

271
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 4: a poor offensive showing. But they blew out the Knicks

272
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: in that quarter. A couple of their baskets were early

273
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: on as well the Knicks, but it just looked like,

274
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: I thought, good defense from the Calves. I think Karl

275
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns is absolutely going to be scapegoaded for this.

276
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: Only took five shots, took one shot in the second half.

277
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: He's got to be more aggressive. But it's also on

278
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: Brunson man, like they can't get him the ball. Brunson

279
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 4: when he touches it, he wants to shoot or he

280
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 4: wants to make the pass for the assist. I think

281
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 4: it's a little bit on Mike Brown, and I just

282
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: thought there were opportunities to get Towns involved inside on

283
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 4: post ups, but the Cavs were doing a good job

284
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: of sliding a guy over to make it tough, pressuring

285
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: the ball so that they couldn't really get an inbounds

286
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: pass as well, so good.

287
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: Defense, Towns fading a little bit.

288
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 4: But also I just think that the mix with Brunson

289
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: and Towns this season more so than last season, but

290
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: even last year not perfect, Like they don't really maximize

291
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: each other. There are times when Towns is involved at

292
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: the top of the key as a distributor.

293
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: As a screener.

294
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 4: That's not necessarily the best use of his talents, but

295
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: at least he's trying that. But I think every time

296
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: the Nicks lose a it's a disaster and b it

297
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: comes down to Karl Anthony Towns, You're the one who

298
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: blew it. And to me, even though he didn't have

299
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: a great game, it's not one hundred percent on Towns,

300
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 4: and it's anytime he has a bad game as well,

301
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: it's like you forget he just had his best three

302
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: game stretch of the season.

303
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, yes, he was well, now I know it's Chicago,

304
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: but he was a destroyed the balls.

305
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: He was huge in the fourth quarter and they're comeback

306
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: against the Rockets as well. But then he goes out

307
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: and shoots five times, so you're like, come on, man.

308
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: Well the funny parties, he's five for five.

309
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly four for four in the first half as well,

310
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 4: but there are times when he drifts, for sure. But

311
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: I think that there's got to be some sort of

312
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: coaching strategy, some sort of a point guard strategy. Get

313
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 4: the guy the ball in a place where he can score.

314
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: It's so difficult to assess what these knicks are because

315
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: they're so bad after breaks. After the NBA Cup, bad,

316
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: after the Al Star Game also bad. It's just like

317
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan said about load management. We've got to play

318
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: every game out there. We got to play consistently. It's

319
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: so odd to look at this team because they're literally

320
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: twelve and four over their last sixteen and that was

321
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: preceded by a two to nine record over eleven games.

322
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: They are up and down, especially down after the All

323
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: Star Game. They had that bad loss to the Pistons.

324
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: On the Thursday night, they were covered to beat the

325
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets barely in the fourth part, down eighteen, so

326
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: there's three bad quarters. They barely beat the Bulls even

327
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: though had a good game, and then this lost to

328
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: the Caps, who are playing really, really well. The chemistry

329
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: is there, you can see it. The units, their first

330
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: unit now with James Harden out there moving the ball

331
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: along with the new starter in Dean Wade, who's taken

332
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: over Jalen Tyson's spot since James Harden came just for height.

333
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: I think that seems to be that the movement or

334
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: the move there for Kenny Atkinson. They got the spacing.

335
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: You saw two threes from Evan Mobley in the first

336
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: few minutes of this game. I don't care if one

337
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: counts as a long two. That big toe was on

338
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: the touch of.

339
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: You've gotten better. I get so big I can't control them.

340
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the Dan Wade's starting, Jaln Tyson moves to

341
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: the bench along with Dennis Shuter, who is setting guys

342
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: up some beauty passes there, uh, some great low They

343
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: just have chemistry on both units right now, which is

344
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: not what the New York Knicks have on the other side.

345
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: The decks. Man, they're weird.

346
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: They're just playing like listless hoops, like just like there's

347
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: very little fight right from the jump. They just feel

348
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: like they're going through the motions and they're just like, ah,

349
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: wake us when the playoffs are here now. I don't

350
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: think they're that good enough to do that. I think

351
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: that's a dangerous game to play. I get it so somewhat,

352
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, they just got to play way harder. Four

353
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: minutes left in the third quarter, they're down by fourteen.

354
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a quarter where they can't score.

355
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Coach Mike Brown, he tried to line up of Brunson, Alvarado, Shammitt,

356
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: so he goes with the three small guys and we've

357
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: seen that before, Mohammed Dioara and then Mitchell Robinson.

358
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: Mitchle Rominson.

359
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Actually I thought played okay, but same results and then

360
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: it got so bad or he got so desperate. Here

361
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: comes Jordan Clarkson, he's dusted off, and try to give

362
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: him an opportunity to like, you know, spark something. But

363
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: not much happened again in that quarter. Just yeah, they're

364
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: just going through the motions right now. And that's not

365
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the first team to ever have done that. But they're

366
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: also not a championship team. It's like, you got some

367
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: things to prove here, right, and maybe having home court

368
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: advantage in Madison Square Garden of all places, could help

369
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: your chances to go very far. So you may want

370
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: to stick around here in the standings as teams start

371
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: tying you if not passing you.

372
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't the Knicks lose a bunch of home games

373
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: in the playoffs last year? I know they lost Game

374
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: one Tyrese Halliburton.

375
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: So reverse strategy, you're saying, strategy.

376
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: Take back.

377
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 4: I don't know that the Knicks don't feel better to

378
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: me this year than they were last season. You know, TIBs,

379
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: I think gets the most out of a team, at

380
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: least in the regular season. They are playing more guys

381
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: off the bench. Shamant finally had it, dude, He's been

382
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: playing awesome for them. Poor shooting all around for New

383
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: York last night, But like I was like, how many

384
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: threes is dial War are gonna take? Does McHale Bridges

385
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: ever passed the ball? So as he touches that guy's

386
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: shooting it. It feels like so it didn't feel like

387
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: a team that was united against each other. And like

388
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 4: tass is saying, the Cavs do feel pretty locked in

389
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: right now. They got so many guys who are playmakers.

390
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 4: Harden is set in the table first and foremost off

391
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: as a starter.

392
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: But like Shruder was really good last night.

393
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 4: I thought Jalen Tyson kind of being a role guy

394
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: in almost a Draymond like character with these short roles.

395
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: Finding guys in the corner.

396
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: He only had a couple of assists, but I thought

397
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: he was a really good ball mover for them last night.

398
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 4: I wonder what their final starting lineup is going to

399
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: look like as we get into the playoffs, as we

400
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 4: go down the home stretch here, because Dean Wade has

401
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 4: been a starter for them. If they go him, Mobley

402
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 4: and Allen, that's a ton of size, not as much shooting,

403
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 4: and I thought they looked the best when they were

404
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: four shooters and a big guy out there. So we'll

405
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: see what Kenny chops up here. But a nice win

406
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: for the Caves to not play all that well and

407
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 4: handle the Knicks pretty easily.

408
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, final thought on the Caves standings wise, big win

409
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: for them because they're tied with the Knicks now for

410
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: third place in the East, though New York does have

411
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker if they have the same record. They've taken

412
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: two or three against them, but they're just one and

413
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: a half games back. The Caves are of second place

414
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, so they're within striking distance. Jared Allen, I

415
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: want to talk about him quickly, hear it because he

416
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: was active in this game last night. Early he was

417
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: controlling the paint on both ends. Finished with nineteen points

418
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: on seven of eight shooting to go along with ten boards.

419
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: His performances here in February are eye opening to the

420
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: point I saw this from according to from Fearless Sword,

421
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: excuse me. Allen's teammates, especially Larry Nance Jr. They're jokingly

422
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: referring to this version of Jared Allen as Black History

423
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Month Jared Allen.

424
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: So they're like saying, you.

425
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Know, there's Hoodie Mellow, there's mast Kyrie, and now there's

426
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: Black History Month Jared Allen. He's averaging twenty one point

427
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: four points per game, twelve rebounds, he's shooting seventy four

428
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: percent in February. I think it's been helped out the

429
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: addition of James Harden two. I don't know if it's

430
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: just because we were sitting courtside calling the game for

431
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: the Skyhawks at ge League game, but you see these guys,

432
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: these big guys come out and they set their picks

433
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: up above the three point line. But they're not staying

434
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: very long when they set these picks. They're just touching

435
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: the guy and running to the like they're not really establishing.

436
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: You see a lot of that. Jared Allen does not

437
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: do that.

438
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: Man.

439
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: That guy sets a pick and he holds it.

440
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jared or excuse me, James Harden

441
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: has told him that's how he likes it, like really

442
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: establish it.

443
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: But then he rolls.

444
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's like, this is a very geeky thing.

445
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: The guy sets up, good ass pick.

446
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: It's important.

447
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: It's not just a tap pick or here I am pick.

448
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: He sets it, he holds it, he lets James go,

449
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: and then he rolls. But black history on Jared all

450
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: That made me a laugh. Lared nts Junior was I

451
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: mean he had Donovan Mitchell die and laughing on that one.

452
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: They mentioned it on the broadcast. But when Harden got

453
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 4: to the Clippers, he went through like pick and roll

454
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: camp with Zubots and Zubots became an all NBA like player.

455
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: Nobody is surprised that Jared Allen is playing as well

456
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: as he is playing with James Harden. They've only played

457
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 4: ninety three minutes together, but eighty two percent true shooting

458
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: for Jared Allen in those minutes. In the much longer

459
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 4: time he's played without Harden, sixty four and a half,

460
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 4: like he sets him up perfectly. Harden is such a

461
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: good passer. He gets in the ball exactly when he

462
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 4: needs it, never a moment too early, never a moment

463
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 4: too soon.

464
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: He was looking like Basher Jahad out there.

465
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a Statue of Liberty dunk as well

466
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: last night. Yeah, there's no integration there with black history

467
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 3: the statue of Liberty, but yeah, he looks like sort

468
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 3: of a statue setting those picks. You're right, I mean

469
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: he is a rock. Yeah.

470
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: The Cavs are now nineteen and two.

471
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: When Allen scores fifteen or more points in a game,

472
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a record. Not even a ton

473
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: of points we're talking about, but that rim pressure obviously

474
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: opens up things on the offensive end, and you know

475
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: he's going to give you a decent defensive effort. Like

476
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: he had a dud against the Thunder. That was a

477
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: bad yeared Allen game. Otherwise in February he's been pretty

478
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: lights out, especially with the addition of James Harden.

479
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys have the ball in their hands hardened

480
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: and Mitchell and I think that's why Dean Wade is

481
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: also out there, just because he doesn't need to do

482
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: anything out there, while Jalent Tyson is a little bit

483
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 3: more involved in the offense. But the balance of the

484
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: first unit in the second unit to have Tyson's ability

485
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: to cut and do that with Mitchell, excuse me, with Shrewder,

486
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: it's solid. It's definitely solid. Well last forever.

487
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that they are the best the Honeymoon

488
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: Harden State.

489
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: They're the third quarter team in the NBA scoring wise,

490
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: and they're really really good at home. Yeah who cares,

491
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: but they're the best at home, especially so that matters

492
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 3: in terms of the standings. Like they do want to

493
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: finish ahead of the Knicks, and I know they're they're

494
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: chasing the Celtics, but yeah, it doesn't matter, especially for

495
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: the second round. There was a.

496
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 4: Report early in the season during one of these Cabs

497
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: games that was on TV that Jared Allen has.

498
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: A book club, a Cavaliers book club.

499
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: No other players are on it. Do you think at

500
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: this point they're going to join up.

501
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: With I mean they should.

502
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's playing so well, Yeah, let's see what he's talking. Yeah,

503
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: they're in misery by Stephen King. It's supposed to be

504
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: like January.

505
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: So there is say but isn't it just him or

506
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: the like? Yeah, Ared, we'll watch the movie, talk to

507
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: him about it. Oh that's good, all right, let's keep

508
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: it going here. Jonathan Kaminga scored a season high twenty

509
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: seven points in his debut for the Hawks Caca, who

510
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: blew out the hapless Wizard one nineteen ninety eight. We

511
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: had a more entertaining game down in College Park with

512
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: the Skyhawks out of the Hawk because they just crushed them.

513
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: But this was Trey Young's return task to Atlanta, obviously

514
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: not playing, but they gave him the tribute video and

515
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: he got a very emotional as he was watching it.

516
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: They showed some fans in the crowd. There was one

517
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: guy holding up but Young Jersey. He was tearing up.

518
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I was, but Kaminga is the story from this one?

519
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: Had a great game?

520
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, no story for Treong. He was crying himself. He

521
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: was extremely emotional. He was signing plenty of autographs while

522
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: he had an earpod in his ear. I thought that

523
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: was weird. I don't know, just weird seeing somebody had

524
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: signed autographs with the airport anyway, He's just on the

525
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: bench with his team.

526
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: Oh okay, now.

527
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: You're oh okay, well, I don't know where he was

528
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: signing the.

529
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: Well, he's signing them in the in the tunnel kind

530
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: of thing, like like from fans in the arena with

531
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: an earbu.

532
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: You think it would you'd be offended. I don't know.

533
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: It's just one of our favorite celebrities signed something for

534
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: you and they could not completely hear you say, can

535
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: you thank you?

536
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 3: Sir? Well, can you please pay attention to me rather

537
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: than what you're paying attention to? You are you're listening

538
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: to the State of the Union. Yeah, you're right. I

539
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know what he was listening to.

540
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I actually don't know what time

541
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 3: it was. Was it pregame, was a post game? But

542
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: there were fans, so I imagine, you know, as we were

543
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 3: at College Park Skyhawks game. Takes Waller fans to arrive,

544
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: so I imagine I imagine that was halftime. Okay, pop out

545
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: the bud anyway, Yeah, I think Kuminga also was helped.

546
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: Before you touch the pen, pop out the bud.

547
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: Sorry, Okay, maybe he could have a little reminder. His

548
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: knemonic advice to remind him is having a pen behind

549
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: his ear. And then oh yeah, I forgot, I got

550
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: to pop my butdy. Yeah, that'd be nice anyway. Also

551
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: what helped Jonathan ming was Jillen Johnson got injured really

552
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 3: early in this game. Five minutes into this game. Jillen

553
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: Johnson has to sit for the rest of the game

554
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: with a hape injury. Hopefully he's all right. But Kaminga

555
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 3: was able to adjust go crazy in this game, especially

556
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: because they're playing the Wizards, and that was part of

557
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: watching the clips of this game from Kaminga. The guy

558
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: just got to get in front of him. Justin Champagne.

559
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: Call your bro with the spurs, ask him how he

560
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 3: does it. Tristan Vukvich, come on, man, getting come on,

561
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: get serious, get in front of guys. Gabe went right

562
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 3: by Vucevich, right by him for a beautiful reverse. Everybody

563
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: just skipping Gabe Vincent pull back on that three. I've

564
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: mentioned him because it's him, it's rees. And now Kaminga

565
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: is their bench. That's an interesting bench. It's a perfect

566
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: like five hundred club, five hundred team type of bench.

567
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: But they could score obviously, so that's an interesting little trio.

568
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 3: That Resche has moved to the bench number one. He

569
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: hasn't been clicking. But also because he plays beside Dyson

570
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: Daniels and Dyson can't shoot, so rests struggle bus with

571
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: shooting can't be on this floor at the same time.

572
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 3: So that's an interesting bench to watch here. But it

573
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: was a win over the Wizards, so kudos to kaminga Hey.

574
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: But at the same time, well played, come back, make

575
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: your new team debut against the Wizards. That's just brilliant

576
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: because he looked amazing. Now he hit a trio with

577
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: three pointers, had seven boards, forces two steals in limited

578
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: time twenty four and a half minutes. But you're right,

579
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these were you know, transition variety where

580
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: there was not a lot of resistance from the Wizards,

581
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: threw down a couple of nice dunks. There was one

582
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: beautiful play where you were like, oh, yeah, he played

583
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: for the Warriors, like he was moving off ball and

584
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: cut back door and I think it was Niki Alexander

585
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: Walker through him a beauty like left hand dime and

586
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: got the in one finish.

587
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: So this was a great first performance here for him.

588
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, this is one of the best games he's

589
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 4: ever played, I thought, and it seemed to me the

590
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 4: happiest game he ever played, because this dude was cheesing

591
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 4: the entire time, and like it was funny to watch

592
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 4: his reactions but also funny to like when they would

593
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 4: cut to the Hawk's bench and you see Buddy healed

594
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 4: and he's.

595
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: Like, I know what this guy went through, and he's

596
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: having such a good time out there.

597
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, he was just I guess he

598
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: was the best athlete on the court. He was running

599
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 4: like crazy. He had all these dunks, like you're saying,

600
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: I thought he played pretty unselfishly as well. He passed

601
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: up a wide open dunk. It's to find that Nikhil

602
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: Alexander walk. He could easily dunk that, but he was

603
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 4: trying to do the right thing. You're right, it's weird.

604
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: He got a bigger opportunity here because Jalen Johnson went down,

605
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: so shots minutes to be had on the wing, because

606
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: you know, Jalen Johnson's the number one guy there, Reese Shay.

607
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 4: They still got to figure out what's going on there.

608
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 4: He just recently went to the bench. Hasn't had a

609
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 4: good sophomore season. That happens with wings sometimes a decent

610
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: first year step back second year.

611
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: He could still get better, but It's still a question.

612
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 4: Mark to me what they're going to actually do with

613
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 4: Kaminga because he's got his team options for next year.

614
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: Is this a showcase around the league? Is this is it?

615
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 4: Will build him up and try it again next year

616
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 4: with the option? Do we extend him. There's a lot

617
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 4: of things they can do. But you know, for one game,

618
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: it was awesome and a great time.

619
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: It was loud man.

620
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy for Kaminga and he's coming off the bench.

621
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: Does he want that? Does he like that? Is he

622
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: cool with that? Great question? Yeah, we don't know.

623
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: Zilla pointed out in his newsletter this morning. Steve Kerr

624
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: and the Warriors visit Atlanta on March twenty. First, mark

625
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: that one down because that might be a mus watch,

626
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: right with Steve Kerr and that team coming here, and

627
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: will Minga put on a show or will they contain them?

628
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, again, this is against the Wizards. We want

629
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: to see Kaminga do this against obviously better talent.

630
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: But he'll do it again on Thursday because they play

631
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: the Wizards again. Okay, it's a baseball series. They're still here,

632
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: all right, Let's talk about another return. De Jeantey Murray

633
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: came back after not playing for what thirteen months out

634
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 3: rehabilitating his injury. Zion had twenty six Pelicans beat Kaminga's

635
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: old team in the Warriors one thirteen one oh nine.

636
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: Murray played about twenty five minutes. Trey, what do you

637
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 3: think of him and his debut here?

638
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 4: A little rusty, but I thought he was pretty good.

639
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 4: You know, he started the game, he closed the game.

640
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 4: I thought he was moving pretty well. Looks quick when

641
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: he went by Moses Moody for a big bucket late

642
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. He was definitely the best when

643
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: he had the ball in his hands, which is how

644
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: de Jonte Murray is the best. So a weird fit

645
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: when you consider Jeremiah Fears as a ball handler, Queen's

646
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 4: going to be a guy that brings the ball up

647
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 4: for them in the future. And then, of course Zion

648
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 4: is playing great right now, thirty four straight games. He

649
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: made his first three pointers since November last night. This

650
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: guy has to be the number one trade candidate.

651
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 2: Of the off season.

652
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: If he's able to make it to the summer, you

653
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 4: got to move off him like you have to.

654
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: You have to trade him for anything. So that's that's

655
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 2: what I know. What happens.

656
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: Though, if the Pelicans have a great like Mickey Mouse

657
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: March here, can't you see them just like going, hey,

658
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: we got we got got zayah, we got trade, we

659
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: got hurt Joe.

660
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm with your right, I'm with you

661
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, but I'm like fearful that happens. But

662
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: if they.

663
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: Believe in Queen, which it's weird that he's coming off

664
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 4: the bench right now, they're starting Tore Jordan and he's

665
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 4: playing okay, yeah, but it is weird to see him

666
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: behind Jordan. But if they believe in Queen, the fit

667
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 4: with Zion is just too.

668
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: Weird, I think. And after all of the stop and

669
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: start nature of.

670
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 4: Zion's career, to actually have him playing and playing well,

671
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,719
Speaker 4: this is his trade value is never going to be

672
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 4: better than this offseason. But for me, when I'm watching

673
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 4: Desonte Murray, I'm basically watching for Jason Tatum because their

674
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: injuries were similar times. January thirty first for Murray, May

675
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 4: twelfth for Tatum. I don't know exactly when Dejontay Murray

676
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 4: had his surgery hours after wise Tatum's was like less

677
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 4: than twenty four hours, which is supposedly a big deal.

678
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: But if I'm a Boston fan and I see de

679
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: Jontay Murray come back and he was moving around the

680
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: court looking pretty fresh, I thought it was I would

681
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 4: be encouraged if I'm a Boston fan seeing him return,

682
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: would you say thirteen months later? I mean, Tatum, it

683
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 4: feels like he's going to push it to less than

684
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: thirteen months.

685
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: He's going to be under twelve months by all accounts.

686
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: But definitely encouraging for the Pelicans and for the Celtics,

687
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: I think.

688
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. I saw the Zion stat that this was his

689
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: first three of the season. I was surprised. I was.

690
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that. Yeah, and like Trey said, he

691
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: hadn't attempted one since November. Right, he's like one for

692
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: four from deep.

693
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought that he'd hit more political of his career,

694
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: just when he did actually play, I thought he'd hit more.

695
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: Just overall, He's only at thirty three for his career

696
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: in two hundred and fifty seven games.

697
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: So I didn't he hit four in his first game? Yeah,

698
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: that's amazing.

699
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when he did that entire time in twenty nineteen, Yeah,

700
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: who is this guy coming off in the January game

701
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: Splash splash, slashplash against the Spurs. Yeah, yeah, that was

702
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: a wild one. But I do agree it is the

703
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: time to move him if their front office is willing

704
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: and their ownership is willing tbd, because the chemistry with

705
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: the Jean Tay Murray is still a huge question mark.

706
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: Although to John Taymurray, yeah, he did look good. Great

707
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 3: to see him on the first possession, make that baseline

708
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: cut and get the ball and score. And then as

709
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: you said, minute left, he still had it to score.

710
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: Some classic Dejonte turnovers in this Yeah, yeah, five turnovers total,

711
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 3: trying to be the pick and roller. Here comes my

712
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: pocket pass, Here comes d Anthony Melton's leg that should

713
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: have been credited with the steal and he wasn't. It's

714
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: overridden by de Jontay Murray's comeback that Anthony Melton had

715
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Baby, he had the number one play of

716
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: the night, hugely.

717
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Donkey threw it down. You must have went crazy.

718
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: Carlo, Carlo Carlo got it. Uh, Carlo Mattovich always fun

719
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: to say that name. Yeah, these on the other side

720
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: of the Warriors injuries, I mean for them to be

721
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 3: in a game at the end of it. It just

722
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 3: a good sign period, even without Steph, without Christaps worzingis

723
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: unbelievable in illness. That's okay, I shouldn't say I'm believable.

724
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: Unbelievable two games in a row and illness. Al Horford's

725
00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: toe hurts. That's getting old left big toe. You know,

726
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: it's kind of fun to see the Pelicans not tanking.

727
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: It's kind of fun to see this. The Warriors keep up.

728
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 3: I like Brandon Ford James coming off the bench, but

729
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 3: unfortunate for them obviously.

730
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said Dejontae had that clutch driving layup with

731
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: about a minute left.

732
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: That was a big shot.

733
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: This was a close game and put them up five

734
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: points one nine, one oh four. I thought he looked okay. Yeah,

735
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: despite the turnovers, there were a couple of nice plays

736
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: where he was doing really a job of hitting Zion

737
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: on the short roll, so the chemistry was sort of there.

738
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: A few of those were Yeah, maybe he was trying

739
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: to thread the needle a little too much. But an

740
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: abysmal game shooting wise from deep. They combined to shoot

741
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: twenty one to eighty five from three between the Warriors

742
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: and Pelicans. So the Zion hitting one is a miraculous

743
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: part of that. But de Jonte back Mingo back for

744
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: the Hawks there or his first game with the Hawks,

745
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: a couple of returns.

746
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: And there's a team that's not tanking, the New Orleans Pealates. Well, yeah,

747
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 3: I mean they can't true yeah.

748
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: On that one.

749
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. But as we were talking about with people at

750
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 3: the College Park Skyhawks game, they're watching, they're watching this.

751
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: See how many games the Pelicans win or lose, but

752
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: they are playing guys to win.

753
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Let's show you the other results from last night, because

754
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot of basketball. We'll throw up the

755
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: somewhat crooked looking board here from the score are friends

756
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: up in Canada with the score? It's not crooked. I'm

757
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: telling you. It's a weird trick on your eyes. But anyway,

758
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: any of these games you want to touch on tasks,

759
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: any other takeaways from last night's sleep Well.

760
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 3: The Celtics staying hot four straight. They are just playing

761
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: so consistent and yeah they're playing the phoenix Ons who

762
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: are injured and you can't score. Yeah, they only scored

763
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: eighty one points against the Celtics, but they also couldn't

764
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 3: rebound against the Celtics. That means that they are playing hard.

765
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: Celtics will rebounded them sixty one to thirty four. So

766
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: just a good time of the season here for the Celtics,

767
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 3: who are clicking and awaiting Jason Tatum's return, as Trey

768
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: was talking about there the Bucks, they've won seven of

769
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: their last nine games. Their backcourt cooking, Ryan rewinds twenty

770
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 3: one Kevin Porter Junior thirty two feels like the best

771
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: part of Kevin Porter Junior's career right now. Although Tyler

772
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: here on the other side for the Miami Heat at

773
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: about shooting night coming off the bench and he's stayed

774
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 3: on the bench since he's returned, so bad night there.

775
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: And Jane McDaniels, who will get to it later a

776
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 3: little later in Woe Boi Ki for the Wolves. We'll

777
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: get to we get to him later. Where we go.

778
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: Stat line of.

779
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: The night TK anything you want to dress balls got

780
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: destroyed by the Hornets last night, not even close.

781
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: Ten straight losses for Chicago. They're the fifth team this

782
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 4: season that has a double digit losing streak. I wonder

783
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: if that's the most ever in a single season. King's MAVs, Pacers, Wizards,

784
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: and now the Bulls have lost ten or more games. Yeah,

785
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 4: Pelicans have two niners. But who doesn't quite counter got there.

786
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 4: I was trying to get stat head mode.

787
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it with the streak finder

788
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: too confusing, too many options. I don't know what tutorial.

789
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: I thought I was nailing it. I thought I could

790
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: get the stats for the one season. I couldn't do it.

791
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna do it for every season. But I wonder,

792
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 2: I wonder. That's a lot of teams that have ten

793
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: straight losses.

794
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, the Bulls are very bad last night

795
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: and for the past month. But it was a great

796
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 4: night for Chicago because the Bucks also won, which means

797
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: Chicago moves into ninth spot for the best odds.

798
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: Wow in the draft.

799
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Lottery, making your way down, slash up.

800
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 4: I'm spinning down tank on every single day. Any luck

801
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 4: hit the number one struggle bow Yeah really?

802
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

803
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 4: I don't stop until they but I'm happy to see

804
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: him jump into the top four. They got seven percent

805
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 4: better last night, and next in their sights, Dallas and Memphis,

806
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: who both have three fewer wins than Chicago this season,

807
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 4: can be tough to catch.

808
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 3: So they got seven percent better.

809
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 2: They went from possibility twenty for a top top four pick.

810
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: He's not even greedy. See that's good. No, he doesn't

811
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: need the number one pick. He just wants to very nice.

812
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: I want thirty, I want three, he want three particular. Yeah,

813
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: Bulls drafted a good player number three once upon it.

814
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: That's right.

815
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: Now.

816
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: I'm praying for Carlos Boozer's son to come to Chicago.

817
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: We need we have a Boozer and now we have

818
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 2: and one more. Come on, Cam, come on down.

819
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: That's why you should be breaking down the stats of

820
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: the lottery balls behind the scene, not the lottery balls

821
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: that we see Mark Tatum pick, but yes, behind the

822
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 3: scenes where they're doing I don't know how many lottery

823
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 3: balls do they pick out.

824
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 4: Like a thousand and one or something like that, and

825
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 4: it's not like six ball combination or something like that.

826
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 4: I want them to rig it. It's time for them

827
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 4: to rig it for the balls.

828
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: I think they.

829
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 4: Brigg it for the balls in two thousand and eight

830
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: when the number one prospect was a kid from Chicago

831
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: and the Bulls had the worst chance ever that actually

832
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: ended up at number one. They haven't rigged it for

833
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 4: him since, and the Bulls put the play in tournament

834
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 4: on the map.

835
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: Who do you trust for Adam silver Ernst or you yeah,

836
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: it's hurts.

837
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: Thunder beat the Raptors last night. I know that game.

838
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: Oh it was a good comeback from the Raps. But

839
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: what happened is they can't beat good teams.

840
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 3: I don't care who's playing.

841
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the Raps are just a classic good team this year,

842
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: but can't beat the great teams, even if the Thunder

843
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 1: are missing a bunch of guys. But I jokingly sort

844
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: of said the other day we were talking about the Thunders, like, uh, yeah,

845
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: they're missing Sga and aj Mitchell and uh obviously Jayleen Williams,

846
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: and there was another guard they're missing on Like it

847
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They have like six other guards that could

848
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: start for a lot of teams. A little tongue in cheek,

849
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: but I believe it with Wallace, that guy could start

850
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: for half this league, and a team should be like

851
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: obviously trying to yank him away from the Thunder and

852
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: throw a bag at him. He's good, man, He's really good.

853
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: Twenty seven points, eight boards, seven assists for him last

854
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: night they were celebrating Canada Night Canada Basketball Sga wasn't

855
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: even there, so that was unfortunate.

856
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: That's okay, it wasn't even in attendance. No, no, well,

857
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 4: lou Dort was there.

858
00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: Lou Dort r J.

859
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: Barrett of course great and played and he was all right.

860
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, Sga. Wall is so sweet though.

861
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 4: That was Raptors did a good job to get back

862
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: in the game when it looked like there was maybe

863
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: gonna tilt towards a blowout for the Thunder, but then

864
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 4: Case and Wallace just made three straight plays.

865
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

866
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 4: Down the stretch, this guy is taking the opportunity with

867
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 4: shake Gill, just Alexander and Jalen Williams and AJ Mitchell,

868
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: you know, being out there is ball handling to be

869
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: done for the Thunder and he's showing that I'm not

870
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: just a defense guy and that'll pay you dividends come

871
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 4: playoff time. When it's like, you know, maybe Shaye picks

872
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 4: up foul trouble or something like that, Dorston foul trouble. Mitchell,

873
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 4: he's got a sprained ankle. Who do we turn to

874
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: Cason Wallace?

875
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty seven career high for that guy.

876
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And the stretch is actually scary for the

877
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: rest of the league. I feel like with all these

878
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: thunder guys getting more opportunity here to grow their game

879
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: and maybe get some reps as they get into a

880
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: potential or get into playoff series.

881
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 2: What I mean, like they're only.

882
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: Going to go as far as like SGA, your MVP

883
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: like takes you like you're in a title depending on SGA.

884
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: But like these other guys are gonna have to have

885
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: moments and games and they're getting.

886
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: More opportunity here and obviously delivering.

887
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I was I anointed that Denver Nuggets

888
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: a potential winner when Yokich went out. Here comes Peyton Watson. Here,

889
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 3: they come to collaborate to get those guys in there,

890
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 3: get there just the reps, and.

891
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 2: They played well, they well without them.

892
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, before you and we'll see how how the core

893
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 3: of shake returns because the abs matters. It matters, it matters.

894
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: But He's like, I mean, look, if these were playoff games,

895
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: guys playing guaranteed this is a classic. Like, yeah, man,

896
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: just just chill for a bit here.

897
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: We got this.

898
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: This is obviously we went super long last year and

899
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: all these long series and stuff like that. Get a break,

900
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: and you know, we get It's interesting the whole MVP

901
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: part of it, with the sixty five games played threshold,

902
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: like we might have a default MVP winner, like no

903
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: offense to some of these guys, Well, there could be

904
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: a lot of them out of the running, depending on

905
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: depending on Yeah, something like that.

906
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many?

907
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I saw read Tom Havistrow was advocating

908
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: for Kate Cunningham potentially winning this thing. He has a

909
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 3: good chance because he's gonna play sixty five games. Then

910
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 3: there's a chance that Shay and Jokic don't and good chance. Yeah. Maybe.

911
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: So all right, let's take a break and when we

912
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: come back, we'll talk a little Team USA roster building.

913
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,320

914
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 3: part of the season to watch in person?

915
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,960

944
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest.

945
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: Starts to keep up with all these comments, it.

946
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: Really is, but we appreciate all of them, no matter

947
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: where you put them, Okay, Kevin Durant, We talked to

948
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: Ben Oliver a little bit about this yesterday. But Kevin

949
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: Durant told ESPN recently that he plans to play in

950
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: the two twenty eight Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. KD

951
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: four time gold medalist and the US men's leading scorer

952
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: in Olympic competition. He'll be approaching forty years old when

953
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: the next games come around here, but he has told

954
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: Team USA managing director Grant Hill that he wants to

955
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: play in the Olympic state side, but only only if

956
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: he can still be a meaningful contributor and try. You

957
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: sort of chimed in yesterday. He's like, yeah, if he

958
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: wants to play, there's a spot for him on the roster. Sorry,

959
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: if that means another guy squeezed. He's put in his time.

960
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: He's the all time leading guy. He is still good

961
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: and he should still be good at scoring the ball.

962
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: He'd be on it, you think if he wants.

963
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: To go, Yeah, I mean he's twenty six a game, basically,

964
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 4: fifty forty ninety this season, and somehow he's better in

965
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: Olympic tournaments. So I think if he wants to play

966
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 4: and he's healthy, sign him up.

967
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a belief, he says, you fools. I

968
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: didn't say anything that Paris was going to be his

969
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: last Olympic games. Now, that may have just been all

970
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: of us going, oh, yeah, well Steph is playing, but

971
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: he says he's basically going to be done after this.

972
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Lebron aged out, and then Katie like, oh, that's just perfect,

973
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 1: those three guys taking them to the gold medal once

974
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: again and they'll say goodbye. But Katie's like, not, no.

975
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: Lebron said he's not playing. I don't know about Curry,

976
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: but I'll play if I can.

977
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 3: He got lumped. He got lumped in with that Steph

978
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 3: a lump.

979
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a fair lump. That was a way.

980
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: That was a cool way to go out. Yeah, no doubt.

981
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: But with Durant's birthday. With Durant's birthday in September and

982
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: Lebron's in December, Durant would be slightly closer to forty

983
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: if he suits up in Los Angeles, so he would

984
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: potentially take the mantle as the oldest American man to

985
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: compete in Olympic basketball.

986
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: Lebron currently holds that record.

987
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: And the mantle I think he really wants to take

988
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: is those final shots that went to Steph. He would

989
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: like that opportunity. It's not it's not necessarily a mantle,

990
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 3: but he like, he would love that opportunity because he

991
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 3: likes that opportunity period. That's what he does. So I

992
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 3: think you would like to let it rip.

993
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: Should Durant win his fifth gold medal in twenty twenty eight,

994
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: if they do it, to do it again, he would

995
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: tie Supbird for the second most basketball gold medals in

996
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 1: Olympic history.

997
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe. It made me laugh most.

998
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tarazi six, Yeah, that's incredible.

999
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

1000
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: So he's not even like I because at first I

1001
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: was like, oh, he must be like going to like

1002
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: get that to tie it, and then you're like, oh, no,

1003
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: he would just tie Super he'd still be one short

1004
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 1: c in twenty thirty two.

1005
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: In I have no clue, I have nowhere to last.

1006
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: No, no, I can't imagine it's in America, no idea

1007
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 1: where it is. Anyway, There's been a lot of talk

1008
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: After this news from KD about predicting Team Ussay's twenty

1009
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight Olympics roster, two media factions actually share their predictions.

1010
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: I want to share them both with you and get

1011
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: your opinions on which either predicted squad you like more

1012
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: or other guys he would have in the mix.

1013
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you.

1014
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: CBS Sports twenty twenty eight Team USA roster Sam Quinn

1015
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: went with five guards, four forwards, three centers. The guards

1016
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: were Kid, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Maxi, Donovan Mitchell, and Conk Nipple.

1017
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: The forwards were Tatum Flag, Amn Thompson and Kevin Durant

1018
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: based on seniority, and then the centers were Chet Holmgren,

1019
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: Bam out of BIO and Jalen Durant. That's CBS's TM

1020
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: USA squad. ESPN they had to crack at it as well,

1021
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: a little different. Their guards were Caid and Anthony Edwards

1022
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: and then Tyrese, Haliburton and Conk Nipple. The forwards Tatum Flag,

1023
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: Amen Thompson and then Scottie Barnes and Jalen Williams of OKAC.

1024
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: And then the centers were the same Chet Bam and

1025
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: Duran So both CBS and ESPN had nine guys tray

1026
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: that were the same caid Antkonnipple, Tatum, flag On Men, Thompson,

1027
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: and then three centers that I named in chet Bam Duran.

1028
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: What were you thinking as the one American here in

1029
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: bilin this squad? Who got it more right? Or which guys?

1030
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: So are you like? How are they not included? The

1031
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 2: first thing I was thinking for both was Bam is

1032
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 2: a guarantee.

1033
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 4: Eric Spoelstra was the coach. I think that's part of it.

1034
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 4: Bam does have a reputation with Team USA. He's been

1035
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: there for a couple of runs here, so I can

1036
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 4: see him being on the team. But I think the

1037
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: number one center there should be chet Holm Grin. I

1038
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 4: wonder what the Halliburton of it all is. That was

1039
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 4: one that stuck out to me as well. I think CBS,

1040
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: you said shows a different Tyresa. That's right, Maxy over Halliburton.

1041
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 4: Maybe it's an out of sight, out of mind thing,

1042
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 4: but Halliburton I thought was kind of an intern for

1043
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 4: Team USA in Paris. Come out, you're our twelfth man.

1044
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 4: You're not going to complain about not playing. Hilarious interview

1045
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 4: with Lebron when he's talking about Steve Kurr in the

1046
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,919
Speaker 4: locker room saying, some of you guys aren't going to play,

1047
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 4: and Halliburton's looking around. Wait a second, everybody here is

1048
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 4: going to the Hall of Fame.

1049
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: I guess that's me.

1050
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: He also had the hilarious tweet when you ain't do

1051
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: nothing on the group project, that's yeah, well holding up

1052
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: the gold that is an all time tweet.

1053
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, But that to me means we're bringing him along

1054
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 4: to get the team experience, to get him in the

1055
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 4: system and figure out how to play together. I also

1056
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 4: think he is a good international player, at least on

1057
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 4: the offensive end. He would be a target, I do

1058
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 4: believe defensively. Defensively, the physicality that's allowed in international play

1059
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: might cause some problems for Halliburton. But the way he

1060
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 4: moves the ball, the way he plays so fast, and

1061
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 4: the fact he's a forty percent three point shooter, to

1062
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: me gets him on the team.

1063
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: But I love Maxi as well, Like I think he's

1064
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 2: a great player.

1065
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: I think he's just as good of an off ball

1066
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: player as Halliburton is. But I want I think I

1067
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 4: would go. I think I would pick Assuming Haliburton gets

1068
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 4: back to full strength and is looking good by twenty

1069
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 4: twenty eight. I think I would choose Halliburton just because

1070
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: he's a guy doesn't need the ball but still definitely

1071
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 4: contributes on the offensive end without needing the ball.

1072
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 3: Those are two that stuck out to me. Yeah, I

1073
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 3: totally agree. I like the ESPN picks better because it

1074
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 3: was less dominant ball players. This is the difficult job

1075
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: for Grant Hill and Steve Kerr because you need some

1076
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 3: of those guys. I was surprised that Devin Booker wasn't

1077
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 3: picked on either of them.

1078
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he should be thirty one years old.

1079
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has to be.

1080
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: He was.

1081
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 3: He was perfect off the ball and doing what he

1082
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 3: did extremely well defensively. That's what he did. He became

1083
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: that basketball player just to compliment to be the fourth

1084
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: option on the floor as a ball handler. With the

1085
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 3: big three there and a center, he could just be

1086
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 3: off the ball, period. And so I was shocked out

1087
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 3: to see that Tyres Haliburn has to be there as well.

1088
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 3: I think that's a lock. And then you started to

1089
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 3: get into the minusha things like yes, I understand he

1090
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 3: said to Steve Kerr, who these guys are all Hall

1091
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 3: of famers That's why I would think Jalen Brown should

1092
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 3: be part of the station. Why should he not? But

1093
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: then the ball handler thing comes up again. If you're

1094
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 3: getting ball dominant types of guys beside him, the Maxi

1095
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 3: one is a good point. I would I would have

1096
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 3: to drop Maxie if I was Grand Hill and Steve Kerr,

1097
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 3: because you want guys like Honestly, Jason Tatum was basically

1098
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 3: in Tyree Haliburton spot. Yes they did. They didn't do

1099
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: anything in your the Olympics, so Tatum's role needs to

1100
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: increase as well. But yeah, then then the Brown thing

1101
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 3: comes up. This is this is tough, but I think

1102
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 3: you might have to cut some young guys. I know

1103
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 3: men Thompson is awesome defensively, but I think you can

1104
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 3: get get away with, you know, the the lack of

1105
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: defense a defender like a Den Booker who isn't as

1106
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 3: good as men Thompson, but the guy can shoot it

1107
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 3: and the guy can score it. So you have to

1108
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 3: make some decisions here, and I think men Thompson might

1109
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 3: not make it either.

1110
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a little the ESPN one.

1111
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: I think there's no way in at least I think

1112
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: that on men Thompson Scottie Barnes and Jail and Williams

1113
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: of ow case, all three make the team. I think

1114
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: there might be a little just too much overlap. These

1115
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: are all talented players, they're all deserving players. And there

1116
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: is the graphic JD can go full screen of the

1117
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: ESPN twenty twenty eight roster again just to spell it

1118
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: out for the podcast listener. The guards Cade, Anthony Edwards,

1119
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburt and Conk Nipple, I mean both teams having

1120
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: him in the mix.

1121
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: And Simmons that guy can shoot. That guy called it

1122
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 2: before the season started.

1123
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 4: He's like, kN K Nipple is going to be on

1124
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 4: the twenty eight Olympics team, and he feels like a

1125
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 4: shoe in to me at this point through you know,

1126
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 4: sixty games of his NBA career. Yeah, fastest guy to

1127
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 4: two hundred threes though, and he just seems like a

1128
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 4: perfect international.

1129
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and then flag of course, Tatum, Aman, Thompson, Scarti, Barnes,

1130
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: Jill and Williams and then check Bam and Jalen Duran

1131
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: as as the biggs you brought up, Devin Booker whereas

1132
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: he Jalen Brown. Now Brown did criticize tam Usa in

1133
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four for his belief that it allows Nike

1134
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: influence over roster decisions. Look, I mean sometimes I can

1135
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: that can hurt guys chances to make teams like this

1136
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: when obviously there's others they didn't go with.

1137
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, at some point, then you say, if Nike signs me,

1138
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 3: I'll join the twenty eight Olympics.

1139
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: That's smart.

1140
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: And then you know, Evan Mobley is another name I

1141
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: think obviously could be considered as a replacement of one

1142
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: of these guys. But I think they're at a point

1143
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: here where there was like fear of the American developmental pipeline,

1144
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: and you know that's not an issue. There's a talent

1145
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: boom right now.

1146
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean we got three more Americans that

1147
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 4: are going to be the top three picks in this

1148
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 4: year's draft. Any of those guys make it going forward

1149
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 4: at that point, there's a Since Grant has taken over,

1150
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 4: there's been a strong duke influence on these teams. Doesn't

1151
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 4: feel like Polo. Maybe we'll make it back. Maybe that

1152
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 4: means Cam Boozer steps in.

1153
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1154
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 4: We will see who's healthy at the time and who

1155
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 4: really pops Another guy that I see getting zero buzz

1156
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 4: for Team USA.

1157
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, Right, dude's awesome.

1158
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam Quinn did have him in his mix, but

1159
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: you're right, otherwise you don't see his name come up

1160
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: a lot.

1161
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 3: Now.

1162
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: He'll be I guess a little older like Booker. Yeah,

1163
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: but he's another ball min it more type guy. And

1164
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: you might go, well, we got enough of them.

1165
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 3: We're good.

1166
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: We got Anthony Edwards, you know, even kid, we got Tatum. Yeah,

1167
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: so maybe that's what they just like, we don't need

1168
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: the overlap there and prefer like more of a Halliburton

1169
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: sort of playmaker, even Maxie with the speed and then

1170
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: like Aman Thompson defensively.

1171
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 2: So we'll see. It's gonna be a good team. I

1172
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be all right.

1173
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: I think it's got a chance to win gold which

1174
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be fun.

1175
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: But they got to make it their first damn it.

1176
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: You're right, Uh.

1177
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 3: Are they not scared a spot?

1178
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm I mean to a Golden medal game.

1179
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 3: That's a good point.

1180
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they both do. They both have to make it. Yeah,

1181
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: but I mean one one team has a reputation for making.

1182
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 3: For making it and winning it.

1183
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be the time there would never be

1184
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: a better time for the Canadian team to beat the Americans.

1185
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: So in l A on their area, will I of

1186
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: the Night sponsored by top shot hot Boy, but not you,

1187
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: not me top shot hot Boy on YouTube.

1188
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 2: This is great.

1189
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: I like this on behalf of the nine to eight

1190
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: eight Lifeline, the crisis hotline in USA and Canada and

1191
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: whether you're facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or

1192
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: drug use concerns, or just need to talk to someone

1193
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: carrying counselors are there for you at the nine to

1194
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: eight eight Lifeline, so you are not alone. We added that,

1195
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: but shout out to top shot Hot Boy for sponsoring

1196
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: will Boy.

1197
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 2: There were a lot.

1198
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: Of potential wil Boy winners. Kevin Porter Junior, great game

1199
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 1: season highs, thirty two points, Maxi Big in a win

1200
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: against the Pacers. Didn't even mention Joela Bean did play

1201
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: and look good twenty seven points in twenty six minutes.

1202
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 1: Pallo Bancaro. He probably had one of his best games

1203
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: of the season. But I felt like highlighting a little

1204
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: bit of defense in the Woe Boy here, and that's

1205
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: why Wolves forward Jayden McDaniels gets a little bit twenty

1206
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: nine points on twelve to sixteen shooting, so he shot

1207
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: the lights out five to six from deep, six boards,

1208
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: only two assists.

1209
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: But look at the defense task, Melice, look at the

1210
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 2: defense task. Look at it.

1211
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: Three steals, five blocks, eight stocks when you add them all,

1212
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: long as they get to win, they're important.

1213
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jada McDaniels is basically the barometer for this team.

1214
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 3: That's who they are. They lost that game against the

1215
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,959
Speaker 3: Philadelphia seventy six ers, their previous game, well, they didn't

1216
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 3: have Gobert and they didn't have Nasrita, and they needed

1217
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 3: a guy like Jaden McDaniels to be boarding and to

1218
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 3: be playing hard. And the Timberwolves laid an egg in

1219
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 3: that game. So you see games like this when he's

1220
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: ready to rebound, when he's ready to score. They went

1221
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 3: and as Anthony Edwards said, that's that's our most important player.

1222
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 3: And it's totally true. He is having his best season.

1223
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: And this Minnesota Timberwolves team is they're looking good at

1224
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: standings wise, as they always do. I mean, they're there.

1225
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 3: It's such a great mix. This is a fun mix

1226
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: three through six. It's just a game and a half

1227
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 3: separating Rockets, Nuggets, Wolves, and Lakers. Now they could have

1228
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 3: been up higher if they just took care of the

1229
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 3: jewel and needless Philadelphia seventy six ers the other day.

1230
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 3: But it is every game. Every game goes up and down,

1231
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 3: but it all depends on Jane mcmaniels.

1232
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 4: To me, two funny things I thought about Jade McDaniels.

1233
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 4: They had Jamal Crawford on the broadcast last night, a

1234
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 4: Seattle guy, Jade McDaniels also from nearby Seattle, and for us,

1235
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 4: it's like interesting to see Jade McDaniels putting up huge

1236
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 4: offensive numbers because he's defense first. But Jamal Crawford was like,

1237
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 4: we didn't know he could play defense like this? What

1238
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 4: because he was a scorer in high school. I mean,

1239
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 4: he's a super athlete who made it to the NBA.

1240
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 4: I bet he averaged thirty a game when he was

1241
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 4: high school. But he was basically like, yeah, we knew

1242
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 4: he could score, we didn't know he would be one

1243
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 4: of the best defenders ever. The other thing, did he

1244
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 4: disrespect the unwritten rules of the game by bouncing a

1245
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: ball off the floor for a windmill dunk? Up by

1246
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 4: like seven?

1247
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: I think yeah, it was like maybe a minute left.

1248
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: Nobody tried to fight him. No, I say that those

1249
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: are usually fighting her.

1250
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,959
Speaker 1: But if anything, it's like he almost was helping the boy,

1251
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: Like you could watch that. You could watch like that's

1252
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: a pretty ballsy move. It's like, Okay, it's seven with

1253
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: a minute to go. We've seen comebacks that are obviously

1254
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: with less time than that, only down seven, So he

1255
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: got it to go. But it wasn't clean. It could

1256
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: have gone poorly. So no, I think the Blazers are like, yeah,

1257
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: give it a go, man, get creative.

1258
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah he fell down after that, donk, But I think

1259
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 3: he knew we're on a three on zero, like it

1260
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 3: was right there. Yeah, yeah, you didn't mess that one up.

1261
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 3: We uh.

1262
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: I just thought of this and looking at the box score.

1263
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of the game itself, just

1264
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 1: the highlights, but talking centers foros, what about Donovan Klingen

1265
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: moving forward as a big big boy. He's a big

1266
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: big boy now you know we brought up chat potentially

1267
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: Bam obviously has some history with timosay Ants Bolster and

1268
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: then joe En Duran's a big ass dude, but cling

1269
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: in obviously if he continues on this growth, I mean

1270
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: that's a guy that's just gonna play defense and get

1271
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: a million rebounds for you and set huge screens.

1272
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 2: So just throwing him out there seems like a perfect

1273
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: World Cup guy to me.

1274
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah, I get his reps there, maybe down

1275
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: the line, playing in twenty thirty two again wherever the

1276
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:07,280
Speaker 1: hell they're.

1277
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 2: Playing risbe Oh Sonny Brizzy Vegas. Ah My, wow, that's fun.

1278
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 2: It's fun. I used to live right by it. My

1279
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 2: sister went to.

1280
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: School there for a year. Beautiful part, beauty, beautiful part.

1281
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: I was going to say one more thing, and I've

1282
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: completely blanked on it.

1283
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 4: Well all vampas, Oh, I know, Okay, go ahead. And

1284
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 4: I saw that Dice and Daniels has more airball three

1285
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 4: pointers than made three pointers this season.

1286
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 2: I think he's like fifteen to twelve, and that.

1287
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: You're telling me a fear ball fifteen NBA three.

1288
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody went and watched all of his I think

1289
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 4: he's taken like attempt or something like that. You can

1290
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 4: count the makes on Basketball Reference, but you got a

1291
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 4: hand count.

1292
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 2: The air balls. Oh that's a significant.

1293
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've definitely seen multiple, so it's not a shock number.

1294
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 3: But yes, he's not all not all. The Dice inform

1295
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 3: is there something going on.

1296
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: Here's what I wanted to address with the Blazers game

1297
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: because I saw this in the stream team before we

1298
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: went live. It was like the third comment of the day.

1299
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: It was from Besilenka and this is what said. I

1300
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: need the guy's thoughts on Twizzy Night the Portland Trailblazers

1301
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: had with the goat Yeat. Never feel older when you

1302
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: read something like that, and I'm like, what the hell?

1303
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: So I was looking at up, but what the hell

1304
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: is Twizzy Night? Who's the goat Yeat? From what I

1305
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,919
Speaker 1: can tell, probably a Portland area rappers and they had

1306
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: him in attendance, and you know, he's saying he's got

1307
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: his new album coming and he's throwing some T shirts

1308
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: in the crowd. I'm sure they played some of his music.

1309
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: So those are my thoughts. Yeah, I saw him sitting

1310
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: there as well. Yeah, I didn't know he was from Portland. Yeah,

1311
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: I had never heard a song, but I've heard the name.

1312
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

1313
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 4: I think he's the one who said the lyric what

1314
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 4: a punchdown on the Huffman.

1315
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 3: Oh it's a good line.

1316
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 2: Happy for one second? Should I've heard that before? That's Mellows.

1317
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 3: It's the goats got to eat. I'm sure he said, yeah,

1318
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 3: he's that's gotta be a line.

1319
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: Probably yes. Anyway, Twizzy night, I guess was as successful.

1320
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: They lost in the end.

1321
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: Pick them tonight tasks. We have ourselves a battle here.

1322
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: The month of February is wrapping up this week for

1323
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: us when it comes to picking these. So we got

1324
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: a few nights left and we are all tied with

1325
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: a seven and six record.

1326
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: Exciting time.

1327
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 3: It is absolutely exciting time. Three of us all tied

1328
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 3: up with three nights to go, and we got a

1329
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 3: good one tonight. Boston going into Denver, We're Denver is

1330
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 3: favored by four and a half. It feels like a

1331
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 3: big lumber, does it not? Maybe maybe because we're just

1332
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 3: in the moment and we're just watching Boston play at

1333
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 3: its peak essentially, So why are they four and a

1334
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 3: half point dougs? That's about back back?

1335
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, last game of a road.

1336
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 3: Trip, right, Oh, always a tough one.

1337
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: They're trying to sweep the road trip, are they not? Yeah?

1338
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 3: One four in a row. Yeah, So I guess it's

1339
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 3: a little surprising that Trey and I both have the Celtics,

1340
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 3: but it makes sense that you're taking the Nuggets skeets

1341
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: after they didn't perform in their last game.

1342
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 2: No, no, not a ton of confidence. But I'm with you.

1343
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: I thought the line was a little funky to the

1344
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: point where I was like, oh, what do you guys

1345
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: know here?

1346
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,439
Speaker 3: But the Nuggets bounced back after a loss like they

1347
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 3: just did against the Blazers when they spanked them after

1348
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 3: the bad game the night before against the Clippers, So

1349
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 3: that makes sense. But I don't know. I have faith

1350
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 3: on in the Celtics spirit.

1351
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Sure, even if it's close, you guys got points to

1352
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: play with. I need some Nuggets to win by five.

1353
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: But big game here with all of us identical records

1354
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: at seven to six.

1355
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 3: What stupid thing are we doing for the loser at

1356
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 3: the end of February early March. We'll do it next week,

1357
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure you gotta. We haven't. We haven't discussed it.

1358
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 1: We haven't discussed up propost something Twizzy in the Classic Factory,

1359
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: and you gotta just.

1360
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 2: Recite Yeat songs. Perfect.

1361
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta wear the I don't know, baklava or

1362
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: whatever the hell he wears.

1363
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. I think I saw cool.

1364
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: Sure, I didn't know that this guy cool chain looked

1365
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:21,959
Speaker 1: like a bell to me, Like, that's neat, just an idea.

1366
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,439
Speaker 2: That's a good start. There's no wrong idea start.

1367
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I'm not a big fan of Twizzlers, so

1368
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 3: if I lose, I'll eat Twizzlers.

1369
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 2: And I love Twizzlers.

1370
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 3: I'm a nibs man.

1371
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 2: Do you like black licorice?

1372
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1373
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so do I Hell yeah.

1374
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this part reminds me of well,

1375
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I like uzzo yeas.

1376
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Similar similar flavors. Are you a black lickorice guy? Some

1377
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 2: people hate it? I don't hate it. Oh okay, but

1378
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 2: you know I'm not fist pounding about it.

1379
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,440

Speaker 2: Okay.

1382
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: Actually, black liquors, just like nips, are like a Twizzler candy,

1383
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 3: Like little teeny guys. There's black rich licorice candy. There's

1384
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 3: like a little black licorice cat. You can just flip

1385
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 3: it into your mouth.

1386
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: Is this controversial? I like, I like licorice, I love

1387
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: black licorice. I like Twizzlers, I like red liquorice. I
