Speaker 2: Yeah, and we.

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: Will ence with some rapid fire fun as well. But first, guys, yes,

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: some sure false questions. Looking back on a Thursday night

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: in the association, only three games on bucks one to

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: seventeen rockets one eleven, So the first true or false

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: for you, guys, true or false? You can remove the

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: rockets from the titles contenders list.

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 5: True I had already removed them.

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never had them on your list.

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Yes, so I guess it's false actually because they were

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: never a part of I thought things looked okay at

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: the start for the Rockets last night, and maybe in

53
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: the first half there, but kind of when the when

54
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks figured things out and figured out how to

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: play them, I didn't think the Rockets had any real

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: good answers. I mean, first game, of course, things are

57
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit difficult for that Rockets

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: team with Harden and Westbrook there, but it didn't really

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: give me all that much positivity about how this team

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: is going to work with these two guys going forward.

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: I just sort of felt that there wasn't a great

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: chemistry between them. They weren't working with each other. Was

63
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: more like Harden tried to do something now he couldn't

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: hit a shot last night. To be fair, Westbrook was

65
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: actually decent, and one thing I liked about Westbrook, which

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I think is going to help the Rockets, is rebounding

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: the ball and sort of getting out in transition. I

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: think that's good for him and good for them. But

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of other positives out of

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: that team last night. Tucker was the same player he

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: was last season hitting those threes, which is good. Eric

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: Gordon couldn't hit a shot for them.

73
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: But while you just named two guys who are the

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 6: important scorers for him who didn't hit a shot, they

75
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: had shots and they just didn't make them, and they

76
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 6: lost by six points to one of the best teams

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 6: in the league, and you're ready to take them out

78
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 6: of the title already. I just suggest that's confirmation bias

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 6: mate brand. You don't want the Rockets to be good.

80
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: They looked fair last night. They didn't look good Harden,

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 6: of course, two for thirteen. That's a huge problem, but

82
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 6: he probably would have been even more than fourteen assisted

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 6: if Clint Copella could make all of his shots.

84
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: He was only for ten.

85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 6: I thought that was something bad going forward, But in general,

86
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 6: I thought it was Harden that has to do more

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 6: adjusting to Westbrook.

88
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: We kind of thought it would be the other way around.

89
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 6: Westbrook has to figure out how to play as a

90
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 6: secondary guy.

91
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: He looked like the same guy.

92
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: I thought Harden was trying to figure out his spots

93
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 6: in a system.

94
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: It seemed like that.

95
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 6: Moved the ball a little bit more. People were more

96
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 6: interested in cutting. It's night one, so of course they're

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 6: going to be active. We'll see if that continues throughout

98
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 6: the season. But it looks to me like Harden has

99
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 6: to find his way more than Westbrook because Westbrook is

100
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: coming in with such a you know, just the way

101
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 6: he plays is going to take over more more real

102
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 6: estate than Chris Paul was.

103
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 4: So, you know, not a great start.

104
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: You don't like to see Brook Lopez being the main

105
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 6: reason why you're losing in the fourth quarter. But I

106
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 6: don't know, I wasn't completely disappointed in the Rockets, especially

107
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 6: when you do see the chemistry between Harden and Westbrook

108
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 6: on that fast break where Westbrook got the dunk and

109
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 6: they both end up screaming at the crowd. Cool to

110
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 6: see two guys screaming at the crowd on other sides

111
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 6: of the court.

112
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: Right then, it seemed like the Rockets were gonna win

113
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 4: the game.

114
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: What about when they were screaming at each other.

115
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 6: They're on the sidelines, man, you gotta scream at each

116
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 6: other sometimes.

117
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: I think that is a game out and that's fine.

118
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure who was on the broadcast that said

119
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: that was a good sign, but it's exactly right.

120
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 5: I think it was Chris Weber and Mom.

121
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: I think if they're openly yelling at each other, that

122
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: is a good sign.

123
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: Racket Rue though, Yeah, well they're discussing.

124
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I mean they were. They don't know what they don't

125
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: know what each other is doing out there, and they're

126
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: talking about James.

127
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Harden looked more than just just talking. He looked very

128
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: frustrated to make from what I saw.

129
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you wanted That's why it looked like it.

130
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: The Rockets were up sixteen points at halftime. Yeah, and

131
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 5: in the second.

132
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: They looked like a championship contender.

133
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Then they did, and then Giannis fails out with what

134
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: five minutes to go, and the Rockets couldn't stop the

135
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Bucks scoring. You mentioned brook Lopez, he was great. Middleton

136
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: hit a couple of shots as well. That's a concern

137
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: for me as well for the Rockets that, Yeah.

138
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: The defenses is an issue one percent. But this is

139
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: a sixty win team that they're playing from last year.

140
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: It's a great, great Bucks team, and yes, Giannis goes out,

141
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: they should be able to beat this Bucks team. Their

142
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: defense should be able to stop brook Lopez. But Brooke

143
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: go Lopez, he's been a twenty point scorer in this

144
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: league before the number one. Yeah, it is back, and

145
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, this is a Rocket team

146
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: that relies more heavily on their top guys and their

147
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: top guy or two or three more than any other

148
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: team in the league. And Eric Gordon was is their

149
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: number three very very bad on this game four of nineteen.

150
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, he was fine, but their number one guy

151
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: was very very bad. When Russell Westbrook's got a more

152
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: efficient game than James Harden or Eric Gordon, Russell Westbrook,

153
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: who's not mister efficiency, then things are bad. So yeah,

154
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: they're bad offensively, they're bad defensively. It's it's it's game one.

155
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 2: They started last year one in five and they still

156
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: got to be that very good team that challenged the

157
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Warriors in the second round. I don't think they're less

158
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: of a contender than they were last year. It's gonna

159
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: be about James Harden finishing games. He didn't finish this one,

160
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: and it's exactly what's going to come down to it

161
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: in the postseason. And they look really similar to me.

162
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: You can remove the Rockets from title contenders if they

163
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: played the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals because that's

164
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: now three straight losses and the Bucks just have their number.

165
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: And that was cool to see brook Lopez playing the

166
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: bully ball and he scored like eight points. He had

167
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: the assist in the final six minutes. Tucker. It's just

168
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: too small really for him. He couldn't neutralize them. And

169
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: then there were switches of well as well. You know,

170
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: House had him at once, Eric Gordon had him once,

171
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: and Brooke made them pay. It was funny to see

172
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: Brooke after all the talk of you know, expanding his

173
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: game out to the three point line, hitting all the

174
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: three it was back to the Nets, brook Lopez going

175
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: to work inside to finish that game. The Rockets, though, overall,

176
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: it is tough to like convince yourself that they could

177
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: go on to win a title because of the way

178
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: they play. And I just and here's what I mean

179
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: by this, I was I was thinking about it last night.

180
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: The Rockets basketball, their their play, their style is what

181
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call first date ski ball, okay, because and

182
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: let me explain, the Rockets play this very very high risk,

183
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: ky reward style with all the three pointers, and that

184
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: leads to these crazy, crazy, you know, wildly divergent outcomes

185
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: where they're either gonna like look amazing in the first half,

186
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: where they hit all their shots fifty two percent from

187
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: three and they're up big and we're like all rockets

188
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: are money, and then they you know, they come back,

189
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: they can't hit a shot in the second half and

190
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: they hit less than twenty percent of their threes and

191
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: end up losing this game. Why is that first date

192
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: ski ball? Because you're on your first date, you're at

193
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: the carnival. Ah, there's a ski ball right there. If

194
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: you just go down the middle, you just shoot for

195
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: the fifty forty thirty twenty ten. You don't keep it consistent,

196
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna probably put up a pretty good score. But

197
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: you're on the first date. You want to press that girl,

198
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: so you're going for those corners. You see those one

199
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 3: hundreds up in the left and right corners. Oh, and

200
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: it's ballsy, all right. You knock a couple in though.

201
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: You're getting mad tickets printed out for you and you're

202
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: getting a nice little teddy bear for your girl there

203
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: on the first date. But it's too risk it's risky.

204
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: You could do it once twice. I mean, if you

205
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: went on that date, if you went on that date,

206
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: you know, for a couple of months every night and

207
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: you just played ski ball. Yeah, sometimes you're gonna get

208
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: those hundreds, But I just don't know if you can

209
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: do it sixteen times hit those hundreds consistently when because

210
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: you're just you're just high risk, because that's all you do.

211
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: You just bomb away, go up the middle every once

212
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: in a while. There's nothing wrong with the fifties and forties.

213
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 6: You sound like a guy who wants to see singles

214
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 6: and doubles in a baseball game and not home runs.

215
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 6: Go for the gold every time. That's all stall NBA.

216
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 6: Throw it up into that top corner. That's the way

217
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 6: to play. You gotta raise your ceiling. You gotta be

218
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 6: able to get the gigantic stuffed animal. You don't want

219
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 6: to bring home one you could buy at Target. You

220
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 6: want to bring home one that looks ridiculous. You look

221
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 6: like an idiot carrying around the carnival. That's why I'm

222
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 6: okay with the Rockets shooting all kinds of threes. They've

223
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 6: been doing it for years. They're not gonna stop. That's

224
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: their ski ball strategy. That's my ski ball strategy as well.

225
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm now going down.

226
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, That's the thing, though. You can either put

227
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: up consistent, like three hundred four hundred scores or you

228
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: can have those scores where it's literally zero because you

229
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 3: went for one hundred every time and miss, or you're right,

230
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: you hit a couple of them and now suddenly you

231
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: got a thousand. That's how they play, and I just

232
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm not convinced. You know, even with Westbrook and I

233
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: like that he's pushing the pace and all that. I

234
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: just will the way they play will work. Can you

235
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: do it sixteen games in the playoffs? That's what they're

236
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: banking on because they're not going to change their style here.

237
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: And I'm sort of they're a great team. You know,

238
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 3: they're gonna be there in the playoffs. They're gonna be

239
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: a tough matchup because of the way they play. I

240
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: get that, but I'm not convinced they can do it

241
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: for sixteen wins in the playoff series.

242
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: Ah there's a ski ball. We need that drop. Ah

243
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 2: there's a ski ball, right, you want to get at it,

244
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: little lady. Yes, I hear what you're saying. I just

245
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: think the rest that change of paces is nice for

246
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: this team because they all just want to stand around

247
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: and watch James Harden. It is that is a new

248
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: little injection of life. The Warriors not being the Warriors

249
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: is very much an injection of life for this team.

250
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: They've taken the Warriors to games seven. They've played this team,

251
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: they played them tough. Now it's wide open. Are they

252
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: going to have those same live in the postseason. It's

253
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: all up to James. James started last year pretty poorly

254
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: as well. When they started one in five. They had

255
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: that little altercation with Spitgate with the Los Angeles Lakers

256
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: and Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram and what was happening there.

257
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: There was a suspension. They started bad. Carmelo Anthony, he

258
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: paid the price for it and left. So they start

259
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: season slow because James Harden knows he has to turn

260
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: it on late. So I think that's what was happening yesterday.

261
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: He only took thirteen shots. He's we see a lot

262
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: of superstars in this league right now. They're trying to

263
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: get everybody else acclimated. And the worry is that they

264
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: start one in five and they start poorly, but you

265
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 2: know that they're going to get fifty wins. I'm a

266
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: little bit worried about Russell. Westbrook's just touch that we've

267
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: seen sort of degrade over the last couple of years

268
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: around the rim. He takes that ball, he flies from

269
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: his own baseline. He's got the athleticism to fly all

270
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: the way to the other team's rim and the other

271
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: and he just throws his body into someone and he

272
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: gets a whistle and he goes to the line. But

273
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: guys were just standing there and Russ was getting the whistle.

274
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: But I think refs will slowly start to understand that

275
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: Russ isn't going in there to finish. He's kind of

276
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: just flying in there, as like Brook Lopez look around

277
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: after that, just standing there and get whistled and they're

278
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: like what that. It happened over and over and over again,

279
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: And I worry about that with Russ. Will those percentages

280
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 2: be decent at the end of the year.

281
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 5: Is well.

282
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: His free throw shooting has really dropped off too, which

283
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: is kind of weird. He was a very good free

284
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: throw shooter early in his career. The last season in

285
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: Okay see down to sixty five percent.

286
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: But I think you're right.

287
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's Westbrook's way though. It's like

288
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: when things aren't going you know the team isn't winning,

289
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: He's like, I just have to barrel in here and

290
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: try to somehow get easy baskets or get to the

291
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: free throw line. It didn't work last night, but they

292
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't really have anything else going because of those three

293
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: point shooting. Of that three point shooting when it's not falling,

294
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: it tends to be contagious for the Ruckets both ways.

295
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: You know, they can easily.

296
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen those games where Gerald Green and

297
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Tucker hit six or seven threes. They do happen, So yes,

298
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: it's definitely going to happen at some point this but

299
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: when it doesn't work, it really looks bad.

300
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 5: And and and again.

301
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: To give up a big lead at home at halftime,

302
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: I think I'd be somewhat concerned with that for the Rockets,

303
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: but also as well with Mike D'Antoni. I mean, if

304
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: they do get off to that slow start similar to

305
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: last season, then he's he's gone.

306
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: He's gone. The price, Yeah, Lake Mellow did.

307
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: And and you know if they if they want D'Antoni out,

308
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: then they're going to find an excuse to get rid

309
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: of him.

310
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: But it feels like he can't win.

311
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Whatever really happens for him D'Antoni, because if they go

312
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: on a bit of a hot streak and they do

313
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: win some games, they won't give him an extension.

314
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: I don't believe.

315
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: I think it'll just be like delaying the inevitable before

316
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: they have a time to fire him.

317
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: So, especially with media members like you killing him winding game,

318
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 6: this team can't win a single game in the postseason.

319
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: They wonder they're going to move.

320
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: On a quick note, On a quick note on the

321
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: buck Store, we're worried about their quote unquote supporting cast.

322
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: They lose Malcolm Brogden, who is going to be on

323
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: the floor at the end of games. Besides Yannis christmas

324
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: In brook Lopez, the other two spots kind of up

325
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: for grabs. Yannis doesn't even play the last half of

326
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and they win because brook Lopez and

327
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton have really stepped up into those number two

328
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: and three roles. Eric Letze only played sixteen minutes in

329
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: this game, the guy who just got a huge extension,

330
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: and Wesley Matthews comes in a new player for this team,

331
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: just that vet that just keeps plugging away. He looks

332
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: cooler every single season with his Hairdo I think he

333
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: looks better and better each year, and his game it

334
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: just adds. It's just perfect. He just fits in like

335
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: a puzzle piece and hitting shots when needed.

336
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: I thought he looked washed in the first half. I

337
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: gotta be honest, task and then he shut me the

338
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: hell up in the second half. He was fantastic on

339
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: both ends for them. I thought he looked so so

340
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: washed in the first half. Was like, I don't know,

341
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it might be over for

342
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: your boy, Wesley Matthews. But no, it was just the

343
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: first sef.

344
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: She needed to get those old creaky legs a little think.

345
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: So I feel pretty confident about Giannis winning back to

346
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: back MVPs after one game too. I mean, he had

347
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: a bad game and he put up thirty thirteen and eleven.

348
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: That was a bad game. It took him what like

349
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: basically the entire first quarter to score, earballed in early three,

350
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: called for traveling a couple of times, but he still

351
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: puts up thirty thirteen thirty thirteen and eleven and showed

352
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: some confidence with the three and the jumper a little

353
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: bit too. Guy's a beast.

354
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: He was probably unlucky to get that sixth fail too.

355
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, that was There was no real

356
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: play on the on that ball there. But unfortunately that's

357
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, there's no way you can't challenge

358
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: those calls, can you?

359
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 5: Well, can you?

360
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: You can borgia a personal You can call a challenge

361
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: any personal foul against your team.

362
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 5: Hmm interesting, Yeah you.

363
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 7: Think they should have should Yeah, Well, the the Rockets

364
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 7: employed the challenge perfectly because Jannis went into PJ Tucker

365
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 7: that that charge call that was initially a block call

366
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 7: on PJ Tucker.

367
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: PJ Tucker was just standing there. Janis had two fouls

368
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: at the time. The entire arena erupted, which I think

369
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: influenced the referees to some degree, just like you're in

370
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: the other the other team's barn, you know, the Superstars

371
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: get calls. Everybody was upset. That was definitely a charge challenge,

372
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: comes out overturned, gets his third, goes to the bench,

373
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: and that was the second quarter. Coach and coaches are

374
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: using it really early.

375
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: I know what I was thinking, We're seeing these used

376
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: in the first half all the time.

377
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 6: Well, you got to call it time out to use it, right, Yeah,

378
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 6: just gonna like I'm using this in the last one

379
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 6: minute of the game.

380
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: That's my last timeout that I got. That's gonna be tough.

381
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 4: You know that two minutes rules.

382
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: But you tell you you don't lose a time out

383
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: if you appeal successful though, No, yes you do you.

384
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, you're talking out. You don't

385
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: you do not?

386
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: You do?

387
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I believe you keep the time out, but you

388
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: just can't do it again then.

389
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: Is what I meant.

390
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't challenge again. Yeah yeah, but

391
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: not you don't lose a time out, I believe.

392
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: But this was this was a Rockets quote unquote mandatory timeout.

393
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: Not to get into the weeds by quite an after

394
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: the six minute mark. There's a mandatory timeout in the

395
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: first quarter. This was the second quard either way, each

396
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: team has mandatory timeouts that there has to be a

397
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: stoppage in play in the arena, and it's quote unquote

398
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: the Rockets mandatory timeouts. So that was their time out anyways,

399
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: So they didn't even have to call a timeout. They

400
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: just lost that time. You know, who knows Joe borsa.

401
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: Get rid of who cares stupid?

402
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 6: I don't care at all, all right, Yeah, that's just

403
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 6: making us talk about refsmart.

404
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: I do like the siren though, the thing that they

405
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: have on the scorer's table. Yeah, because it reminds me

406
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: of hockey, you know, the red light and somebody scores.

407
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: That's the only cool thing about it. Eric, Eric, It's

408
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: like that Budweiser campaign a few years ago when.

409
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 3: Somebody don't talk about butter out.

410
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly why I brought it up, because that's

411
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: siren that went off. You could turn on this, I think.

412
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: I think when your favorite team scored, Yeah you could.

413
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could get a siren, put it in your

414
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: house like a red light, right, and then yeah, you

415
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: could link it up to if you were a leafs fan,

416
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: if the Leaf scored, it would go off in your

417
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: man cave or wherever you had it in your house.

418
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 6: You think Borgia and Monny McCutcheon have those in there

419
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 6: mane challenges.

420
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: They're like, yes, all right, let's let's move on to

421
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: our next tru or false question here, guys, true or false?

422
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: The Warriors are in deep, deep trouble. They lost one

423
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: in opening up their new barn last night to the Clippers.

424
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: Tru or false Warriors in trouble.

425
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: You see, the NBA is pretty smart. They line up

426
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: these championship teams in opening week to play all the

427
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: national games. So they played against the championship level team.

428
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 2: That's an incredible squad. So am I giving them an

429
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: excuse a little bit?

430
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: But the are you saying false?

431
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: True?

432
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 3: Man?

433
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, No, they're not in deep, deep trouble.

434
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 2: They're gonna They're not as good as the Clippers. They're

435
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: not in deep, deep trouble. My worry is that they

436
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: don't know where the heck they are in the Chase Center.

437
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: Steve Curse said, I've been locked out of my office

438
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: after games multiple times. My worry is, Yeah, they're getting acclimated,

439
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: like no donks are in their office. Yeah, and things

440
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: aren't comfortable there. They understand we priced out all our fans.

441
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: We don't have the same feel as Oracle Arena as

442
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: we once did. You know, we've definitely dropped off. It's

443
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: going to be a grind. It's definitely gonna be a

444
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: grind to get to that level, to get to anywhere close.

445
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: But Kevin Looney, I think, is a key guy. Yeah,

446
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Kevin Looney to start, No, he is.

447
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 6: They need some defense, Yeah, they need the four guys.

448
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: You can name on the Warriors exactly exactly. So he

449
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: didn't play all preseason. He barely played in this game

450
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: because he wasn't feeling right. He had a little bit

451
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: of an injury, a precautionary injury, so he leaves the game.

452
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: They're not deep and they're gonna need some time. They're

453
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: not gonna be great to start, but I still think

454
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: they're a playoff team.

455
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Draymond Green picking up that injury. He did

456
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: return to the to the court. But obviously, if they

457
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: lose Draymond there and they're they're in deep, deep trouble then.

458
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: But this was the first game against a really good

459
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: team who came in there very very fired up, very

460
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: motivated to get a win. I mean, Patrick Beverley, he

461
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: was talking trash all night, as he always does, and

462
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers are a very very good team.

463
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: The Warriors is.

464
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Going to take some time because some people talking about

465
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Steph being maybe this leading scorer and even getting back

466
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: in the MVP conversation, but he's just going to have

467
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: so much more defense coming at him as well, which

468
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: is going to be harder for him to score. He

469
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: had eight turnovers last night, so that's the problem. He

470
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: hasn't got Clay obviously there or Kevin Durant to take

471
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: some of that attention off him. And if D'Angelo can score,

472
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: because we know he can score, he's a bit of

473
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: a streaky player at times, it'll help. But I just

474
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: feel that teams are still going to be like, we

475
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: can live with the Angelo Russell going for twenty five

476
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: or thirty more than we can try to let maybe

477
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: Steph have one of his runs where he goes for

478
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: forty or forty five.

479
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 6: You sound less concerned about the Warriors than the Rockets,

480
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 6: which is crazy to me, because the Warriors cut their

481
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 6: starting small forward right before the season to bring in

482
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 6: Marquise Cress, a guy who is basically out of the league,

483
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 6: who was very impressive during their training camps and played

484
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 6: well in the preseason. Nonetheless, they started to cut McKinney,

485
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 6: who was going to start for them. They're going to

486
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 6: bring him back. Chris is going to be there for

487
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 6: a little bit, then they'll bring McKinney back. Then they'll

488
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 6: be Chris, then I'll be mcknny. They got to do

489
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 6: all these moves to stay underneath the hard cap because

490
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 6: of the salary cap. Machinations that they've made over the

491
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 6: past couple of years, which leaves them starting Glenn Robinson

492
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 6: playing a guy named Eric Pascal. Jacob Evans got a

493
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 6: lot of time. Jordan Poole looking like Wesley Matthews out there.

494
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 6: He's got the Danny Fortson ponytail up top.

495
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 4: I like it.

496
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 6: But who is Jordan Poole? I know him because he

497
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 6: played at Michigan. He hasn't has zero track record in

498
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 6: the NBA.

499
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: If he's good, though, we'll call him Jordan Peele.

500
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 6: He's the key, is what you're saying. Yeah, Jordan Poole

501
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 6: is the key. Nonetheless, this is a very very thin team.

502
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: Klay Thompson was he was doing his best to put

503
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 6: the Warriors over last night, but Charles Barkley wasn't hearing it,

504
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 6: and I'm kind of not hearing it either. They might

505
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 6: still be a playoff team, but the idea of them

506
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 6: as a dark horse title contender took a massive hit

507
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 6: after Night one.

508
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I do go ultimately false with this

509
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: because the Clippers after two games do appear to be Juggernauts,

510
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: and that is missing. Paul George not even in the

511
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: lineup too yet obviously, but they're young. The Warriors are

512
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: super young. Like He's trade. There's a lot of guys

513
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 3: that the average you know, the the casual fan, has

514
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: no idea who they are. They they couldn't get a

515
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: defensive stop to save their life. I mean they got

516
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: carved up. The Clipper shots sixty two percent from the

517
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: field and eighteen for thirty two from three. Looney only

518
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: played ten. You said a test. They need him, Willie

519
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 3: cally Stein. They need back, they need some defense in

520
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: their back line. And then it didn't help that Draymond

521
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: Green yet had the right forearm injury there. Yeah, not

522
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: ready to count them out of the playoffs by any means,

523
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: but whoo they are. Draymond is gonna have to I

524
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 3: don't even know what he can do because only one guy.

525
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: You can't play defense for three other guys out there

526
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 3: with them. But and then they're gonna need Curry offensively

527
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: to carry them. It's a it's it's gonna be close.

528
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: They are going to be if they're in the in

529
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: the race. It's it's not a lock by any means.

530
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a sad state of affairs in their new arena.

531
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, really a tough break.

532
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: It's been a tough decade. Yeah, it is wild that

533
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: baby face Steph Curry is their oldest player, a guy

534
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 2: who's been around a decade.

535
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: They like nine guys twenty three years older younger on

536
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 3: this roster. They're very, very young. What do you think

537
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: about the clips so point Kawhi last night with the

538
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: nine assists.

539
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 4: Well, Skeetza mentioned it.

540
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 6: I think I'm going to be good on watching the

541
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 6: Clippers for the very next week at least, because they

542
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 6: look like a cohesive team already with the best player

543
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: in basketball, They're just going to beat everybody they play

544
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 6: until they find somebody else who is rolling as much

545
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 6: as they are. Because they look clearly like the best

546
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: team in basketball. Seems like their way of resting Kawi

547
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: Leonard is just going to be the blow teams out

548
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: and let him.

549
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: Sit the spot.

550
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the way the Warriors did it with

551
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 6: Durant and Curry for a long time and it.

552
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: Works sort of when the bus did as well.

553
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly.

554
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, if if Doc Rivers, if this form from Patrick

555
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: Patterson continues, this will be found money for Doc Rivers

556
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean six threes last night, he was

557
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: just flinging away and they were going in.

558
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: It was It was incredible.

559
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: But again, you know when you look when when they

560
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: go to their bench and you see Montrez and Lou

561
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: come in, that's got to be demoralizing for a lot

562
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: of teams because.

563
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: Those guys just work.

564
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: And Montrez, I mean, he just knows his role. He

565
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: understands go to the rim. Just roll to the rim.

566
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: You'll get baskets there.

567
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: And Lou with that sort of fading, drifting, falling away,

568
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: unguardable shot, he just comes out there and.

569
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: Bang they straight away. They they just keep scoring.

570
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: Is the bomber that Brett Brown's looking for?

571
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: Exactly?

572
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so so much so impressive so far through

573
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: two games here for the Clippers, and you know they

574
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: have to be feeling pretty confident about everything, considering Paul

575
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: George is still on the sideline. No bow tie last night,

576
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe just save that for their opening night game.

577
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: Ghost faith Ziller said it. What's impressive with the Clippers

578
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: so far early, of course, is you know they put

579
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: on the defensive clinic in game one, and then they

580
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 3: show last night that they might have the league's best

581
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 3: offense too. That's the scary part. Yeah, that was a

582
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: great performance by them. Final one guys, true or false?

583
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: Tree Young is an all star lock.

584
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: Well, I picked him as my all Star. That's going

585
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: to be there for the first time of his career,

586
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: so I'll say yes.

587
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, yeah, I thought you picked Shake Gilges Alexander No,

588
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 6: that's your m I p I'm mixed up.

589
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 4: I'm thinking too deep.

590
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 6: Nonetheless, he is a lock. I think for sure. He

591
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 6: looked like in complete control last night. He was bombing

592
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: away from Deep. He looks like Steph Curry celebrating. He's

593
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 6: got all of Steph's celebrations down. That was exciting to watch,

594
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 6: and the Hawks looked fun. I guess maybe Tassi was right,

595
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 6: Hawks over Bulls.

596
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: That's really to say. Back to back, the back to back.

597
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 6: Come on, if I hear people giving the Pistons a

598
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 6: break because it's a back to back on the second

599
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: night of the season, what have you been doing for

600
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 6: three months?

601
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: You should be training, you should be in shape to

602
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: play two games.

603
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I'll tell you what to ask. Trey

604
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: Young doesn't give a shit about composting because he was

605
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: burning the Pistons Bruce Brown all night. Oh my god,

606
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 3: was he cook? He was going by those Browns all night.

607
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: Man left had the green light.

608
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: Was killing him. Bob Rathman on the Hawks broadcast was

609
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: making that very clear to everybody that he was destroying

610
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown out and Dominique Wilkins was a well but listen,

611
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: they beat the Pistons. That's my worry is that are

612
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: they going to win enough for Tree Young to be

613
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 2: an All Star candidate?

614
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And in the Eastern Conference, I think you're going

615
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: to get a couple of guys like Kyle Lowry, who

616
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: we talked about. Does he get the sort of legacy

617
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: vote to get in, you know, in the guard position there?

618
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Because at some point I think Trey is going to

619
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: have these games where he goes a little bit cool

620
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: because he's just shooting the ball from the logos right now.

621
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: Great when it goes in. But if teams are going

622
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: to be like, all right, let's see if he can

623
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: just keep making those, maybe he cools off. But certainly

624
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: after last night, the Hawks, they looked ready to play

625
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: last night, and I'll say give Lloyd Pierce a lot

626
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: of credit for that team that they come out. A

627
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: lot of people are sort of saying this isn't a

628
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: playoff team. They're still a long way off. Well, I

629
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: thought last night they looked very, very sharp. John Collins

630
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: was fantastic as well. But it started obviously with Trey

631
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Young just firing away, getting the ball in the basket,

632
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: but also getting his teammates involved.

633
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: So that was what was impressive to me.

634
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're getting a little creative too with Tree Young.

635
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: Unlike Staff at the beginning of his career, where he

636
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: brought the ball up every single time, there's some possessions

637
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 2: where Trey comes off the ball and that's just a

638
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: bonus when you got a great shooter like that, and

639
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: he can run off screens and just divert the attention

640
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: away from him a little bit because you know, he's

641
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: their number one option. Everybody is watching him. He's gonna

642
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: come off and he's gonna hit shots. He's Trey Young,

643
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 2: and that's it's amazing to say here in his second year.

644
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 2: But the guy again, I think, like you said, Lee

645
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: Lloyd Pierce had this team ready. I think you know,

646
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: Trey Young has just been ready since he turned that

647
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: corner at the start of the second half last year.

648
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: He just looks like another guy, And yeah, I think

649
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: I'll go. I think I'll have Trey Young in the

650
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: off Star game. I think I'll have Lloyd Pierce as

651
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: my coach of the year. You know, he's he's ready.

652
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: He's also ready for every single game. He's a monstrous

653
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: man out there. He fills out that dress shirt very well.

654
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: That guy has been doing chess work all day long

655
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: before the game. So if you know his players can't

656
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: be not ready, because that guy was ready for every

657
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: single game.

658
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: I like the balance that you saw from from Trey

659
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: Young in game one of the season here, because he

660
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: shot six for ten from three and some of those,

661
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: like you said, Lee were from the logo, which is wild.

662
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: He had two at least where he was on the logo,

663
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 3: the Piston's logo.

664
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: It is a big logo.

665
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 3: It is a big logo. But he was deep. I mean, yeah,

666
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: he had four makes I think from at least twenty

667
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: eight feet. He also went four to six though in

668
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 3: the restricted area, so he was attacking generally on brown

669
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: and then ten to twelve at the line. That's the

670
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: balance you're gonna want from a guy like him, and

671
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: then of course the assists. Do you think you were

672
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: comparing him to Steph Curry. I've heard Kevin O'Connor and

673
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: many others compare him more to Steve Nash. Do you

674
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 3: lean one way or the other where you look at

675
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: Trey Young and say, oh, he is more like a

676
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: Curry or more like an Ash, or are they so

677
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: comparable themselves It doesn't really matter.

678
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 6: It's Curry for me consently, and he shoots from far

679
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 6: and he tries to score a lot that aren't Those

680
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 6: are hallmarks of Steph Curry's game more so than Steve

681
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 6: Nash's game. He definitely has nation in his game, but

682
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 6: I think that's because Curry has nation in his game.

683
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 6: To me, he looks like the very next Steph Curry

684
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 6: already in year two, game.

685
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: One, and he's he's a little bit more like Steph

686
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: because he tries to be a little too fancy like

687
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: Steve Nash wasn't going behind the back for no reason.

688
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: Trey Young does that, and that's why he had six

689
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: turnovers yesterday, and that's a bit of his issue as well.

690
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: And that's you know what Steve Kerr was all over

691
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry for earlier in his career, and that's definitely

692
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: what Lloyd Pierce is going to be on Trey Young about.

693
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did have the steph Kari Shimido after that

694
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: lightout in the pint, you know, wiggling away there at

695
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: a ten, Trey, what do you give that?

696
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: Honestly, it was a little stilted.

697
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 6: I feel like he wasn't really smooth going from shoulder

698
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 6: to showlder seven to ten.

699
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 5: It's all right, first game of the season, that's right.

700
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put him down as a lock for an

701
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: a sort of lock. I'm putting him in because when

702
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: you look at the the guard spots in the East too.

703
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: We talked about it in our season previews. There's there's

704
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: no Oladipot, so he's gone, and then D'angela Russell, who

705
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: was his injury replacement, he's in the west. Your twenty

706
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: nineteen East guards were Kyrie, Kemba, Lowry, beal Ben Simmons,

707
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 3: and then that Oladipo slash slash Russell. I see, are

708
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: You're right?

709
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 5: Lee?

710
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: Like I think Lowry is not going to ultimately be

711
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: an All Star again this year. My gut just says that.

712
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: Bial I mean, we'll you just have crazy numbers again

713
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: on a bad Wizards team. It feels like there's a

714
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: spot or two for a Trey Young or a Zach Levine.

715
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: So maybe it will. Maybe it really will come down to,

716
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: like who has that better record between those two teams,

717
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: between the Hawks and the Bulls. But I think Trey's

718
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 3: going to be in there. The highlights alone might get

719
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: him enough love. He may even get like votes, like

720
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: crazy amount of votes, being as exciting as a type

721
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: of player as he is. Though in the Atlanta market

722
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: that might be tough. All right, let's get to Worst

723
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: of the Week.

724
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, The worst of the week. A couple

725
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: honorable mentions before we get into the runner ups and

726
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: the winner. First on, we'll mention people who complain about noise,

727
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: like our neighbor here in our Atlanta office now, a

728
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: couple of doors down got mad because we were talking,

729
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: called corporate.

730
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god, lack.

731
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: So far, No problem, no problem, since everybody out there,

732
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: we're all good. I think that was Wednesday.

733
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, we've.

734
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: Had forty eight hours of peace and quiet that we've

735
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: been talking at the exact same level. Either way, next.

736
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 6: Shock system there, to start off, I would have to

737
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 6: imagine somebody making noise as opposed to Nobody Humans.

738
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: Other honorable mention Lee Ellis in the trivia show that

739
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: we dropped last Sunday, you can go check Le Ellis

740
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: didn't perform so well as the first contestant on our

741
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: trivia show. That trivia was about Shacks MVP season where

742
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: he didn't get every single vote. Fred Hickman And what

743
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: was your your record? Your total, your talent?

744
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 5: You got full points?

745
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: I think in the know you scored six points?

746
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 5: Did I get six?

747
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: All right?

748
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't be so hard on yourself.

749
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

750
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the first one of the season. You know,

751
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: I'm feeling myself out.

752
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: I think you'll get another chance after that performance.

753
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, you would redemption.

754
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: These are you see question? I mean, let's they're not

755
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: easy and you really you got off to a bad

756
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: start because you were mixed up with the Zo there

757
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: remember the Alonzo morning And I don't want to I

758
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: don't want to spoil it. Go listen to it. Who

759
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: wants some trivia? It's in the feed. Well, we got

760
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: more coming, by the way.

761
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 2: And it was the year that there was a time

762
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: period where Lee wasn't extremely into the NBA.

763
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: He talks about it on the podcast.

764
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, yeah, cool. Listen to that second runner

765
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: up this week though, our young and up and coming

766
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: teams that just can't have nice things. The Kings lose

767
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: Marvin Bagley for four to six weeks with a broken thumb.

768
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: But this is more so about the Phoenix Suns coming

769
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: off an opening night win. DeAndre Ayton has been suspended

770
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: twenty five games for violating the league's anti drug policy.

771
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: They just came off a win, the Phoenix Suns living

772
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: large for twenty four hours, and then boom, this guy

773
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: is suspended because he took a diuretic. Now the Suns

774
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: will be appealing it, claiming it was an unintentional digestion.

775
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: But diuretics flush out the system and can be used

776
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: to prevent detection of a band sub since like performance

777
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: enhancing drugs. They did some subsequent tests and discovered no

778
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: other banded substances. Some say, well, of course, he took

779
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: a diarrectic and cleared out his system, so I would

780
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: guess that this holds up. But you know, I'm not

781
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: in the league front office, and uh, that's just that's

782
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: just a huge, huge blow to the Suns.

783
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 4: He looked good too, Yeah, he looked good.

784
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: Was actually moving around on defense. Yeah, he looked pretty

785
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: cut in shape.

786
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, no wonder why yeah, exactly, no waterweight. I can't

787
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 6: believe they didn't find anything inside of him. But uh

788
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: uh yeah, super bummer for the Suns. You know, I

789
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 6: was ready to come up with a Dumbo take calling

790
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 6: the Suns this year's Kings because they're going to play fast,

791
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 6: take everybody off guard, and now they might be missing

792
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 6: their center for twenty five games at the very least,

793
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 6: he'll be sitting out a little bit. And he's got

794
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 6: a stain on his career that will last for the

795
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 6: entirety of his career. People still bring up the fact

796
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 6: that OJ Mayo once got suspended for peds and it's like,

797
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 6: Oj Mayo, this is a number one overall draft pick

798
00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 6: we're talking about here.

799
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: That sucks.

800
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: That's a yeah, that's a you're right, that's a big

801
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: blow to the Suns after the riding the high of

802
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: that big win over the Kings. That that's a But yeah,

803
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be completely erased. Maybe

804
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 3: it's you know, reduced a little bit. But he's going

805
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: to be missing games anywhere obviously up to twenty five.

806
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he gets lucky and it's ten or fifteen

807
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: or something like that.

808
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: First runner up. This week a bit of a bummer.

809
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: The Zion Williamson injury. It seems like a long time ago,

810
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: but it was just earlier this week. Unfortunately, he had

811
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: a knee surgery, some of his meniscus removed. Six to

812
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 2: eight weeks for Zion Williamson, the hype was so high.

813
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: We were feeling it. Everybody was feeling it looking forward

814
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: to Zion Williamson. So everybody that's not you know, not

815
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: so much a loser or worst of the week for

816
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: Zion Williamson, but just everybody who was just ready to

817
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: watch that man work.

818
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the Raptors got lucky with

819
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: him not playing. I think they lose that game if

820
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: he's in there, because they started, uh, you know, surge

821
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: and the guys inside for the Raptors were starting to

822
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 3: throw around their weight as that game went on and

823
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: getting big rebounds, offensive rebounds. Maybe doesn't happen was Zion

824
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 3: Williamson in there thrown around his weight. So they got

825
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: lucky with that one.

826
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: But especially because of what we saw from Zion so early,

827
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, he is actually going

828
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: to live up to this reputation, you know, throwing down

829
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: big dunks, hitting shots, being just fantastic, And now it's

830
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: like we have to wait at least two months, maybe

831
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: even longer, hopefully not.

832
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 5: But we'll see.

833
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 3: Who's back first, Zion or Eighting. It's a race.

834
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 4: Are you guys.

835
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 3: Got that hole up?

836
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: All right?

837
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: We'll get it up for sure.

838
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 6: I'm going Skeets and JD in that case, I hope.

839
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 6: Then I guess Eton, I guess Eten.

840
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 2: I don't lee. You've been watching basketball for a long time.

841
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: Other than the ninety nine season, has there ever been

842
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: pre season hype for a player? This This was actual

843
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: pre I know Lebron had hype coming in because he

844
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: played high school ball, but nobody was watching Lebron's preseason

845
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: games and thinking wow, oh in two thousand and three.

846
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 6: I mean, Lebron was the first high school player to

847
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 6: ever be have his games on TV on ESPN.

848
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 4: The hype was huge.

849
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: That was high school, yeah, I know, but preseason, like

850
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: in games, people people cared about David Robinson.

851
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 3: David Robinson, people were going nuts for his prese I

852
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: don't know, yeah right, yeah, I mean.

853
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 5: They just didn't. It just didn't. Yeah, no one played them.

854
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: Everybody I played him, but I just went television.

855
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, as you're right in the fact that

856
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: literally everybody says you can't consider preseason real at all.

857
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter, except for in the case of Zion,

858
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 6: where they're like, you see what Zion was doing in

859
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 6: the preseason, he shot seventy percent, He'll do the exact

860
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 6: same thing when it comes to the regular season.

861
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: That was a little bit unusual.

862
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 2: I'm saying Zion. What I'm saying is the best preseason

863
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 2: player in NBA. But the winner this week worst of

864
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: the week is people who are angry with the goat,

865
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan. He's the goat. In an interview with NBC's

866
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: Craig Melvin, MJ was asked if he would still fill

867
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: out his starting five with Magic Pippin a LaJuan and

868
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 2: Worthy like you said six years ago. MJ said yes,

869
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: I would, and Craig Melvin asked, so, Steph Curry shouldn't

870
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 2: be offended. MJ said no, I hope not. He's still

871
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: a great player. Not a Hall of Famer yet though.

872
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 2: So people were really angry, Oh, Michael, Yeah, and then

873
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: they choose his his tequila line MJ's got a tequila line,

874
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: and Craig Melvin poured them each a glass. They had

875
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: a little sippy sip. MJ said, I've got a busy

876
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: day of the rest of the day, I can't have

877
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: too much of this anyway. People were not angry about

878
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 2: the tequila. They were angry about Steph Curry quote unquote

879
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: not being called a Hall of Famer by Michael Jordan.

880
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: That's why, that's why, that's why, listen, nobody, nobody should care.

881
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 2: MJ is still still competing with NBA players. That's MJ.

882
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: He said, we'll compete till the day he dies. He's

883
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: old school. Will Also, you know, you have to get

884
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 2: to the whole theme before you're a half fam player.

885
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 2: But also MG is not checking Basketball Reference to determine

886
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: the mayors of Steph Curry making the whole fame. He

887
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: doesn't care.

888
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 6: He doesn't because you don't think he's doing the player

889
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 6: comparison between Steph and Mitch Richmond if he can as

890
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 6: squeak as I am.

891
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: The thing is, though, there's more to this relationship. It's

892
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: on the golf course, and that is where Steph actually,

893
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a better golfer than Jordan's.

894
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: So Jordan is like, all right, well.

895
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: You're not a better basketball than me, so I'm gonna

896
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take this little jab at you. But

897
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: I remember, remember it was an All Star weekend. I

898
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: can't Houston Orlando. We asked Steph Curry, what are you

899
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: better than the goat at? And he said golf straight away.

900
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: So you know there's a rivalry there, and that's what

901
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: I think it is. Jordan's like this guy, he is

902
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: a better golfer than me.

903
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 2: But not basketball.

904
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a couple of things. Well,

905
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: actually one thing. The tequila was coursing through his body.

906
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 3: He was feeling.

907
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 2: He had yet you know, I had a.

908
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: Couple of SIPs well before the cameras were rolling, just

909
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 3: to taste test it, you know, make sure, yeah, make

910
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: sure he's up to par on like his golf game.

911
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: Oh Ohio.

912
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 3: Was I gonna say? Though?

913
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

914
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 3: I was thinking you imagine, Uh, for whatever reason, Jordan

915
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: had said this but instead of Curry, Uh, it was

916
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: about Kobe and he was like, well he's not a

917
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer yet, man, Like this was gold and

918
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 3: people with nuts over this comment. You imagine. He had

919
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: said that. You know, Kobe technically not a Hall of

920
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: Famer yet not there.

921
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure he's all about the technicalities.

922
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 3: Would have been awesome.

923
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta go.

924
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 6: Somebody's gotta ask ask him about Lebron the day after

925
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 6: he retires.

926
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 4: Not a Hall of Famer yet, what can I say?

927
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 6: Sorry, doesn't have his jersey retired by the heat yet?

928
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 3: All right? So, uh, worse of the week goes to

929
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: goes to the people.

930
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the people. You can always blame the people that always.

931
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: Well U time for the return of another classic here?

932
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 3: What's part of the punk gun Dad?

933
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 8: Well, as everybody knows, Skeets and I have been exiled

1016
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 6: Would recommend I would recommend the Grizzlies to people. I

1017
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 6: can't do it, Lee.

1018
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are the worst games to pick, because you, like,

1019
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,680

1020
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: checking out the Grizzlies. How many three pointers they shot

1021
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: against the heat in their open and they went five

1022
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:13,160

00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 3: Wow, a little different than the Hornets in game.

1024
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: So I will take the Bulls. Then I'll take the Bulls.

1025
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be I mean, then it must

1026
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: buy a point to the Hornies.

1027
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 3: I'm taking the balls. Don't over I'm not overthinking.

1028

1045
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: my first competition. It was a few years back. Danielle,

1046
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: my wife, and I we went to this very unique

1047
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: camp where it was a digital detox. You have to

1048
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 2: give your phone at the door. You couldn't even see it,

1049
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: have a clock, couldn't have a watch. Wow, you couldn't

1050
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: even tell people your actual name. We literally had name

1051
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: tags with something cute or quirky on our names. Danielle's

1052
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 2: was Bumpscle and mine mine was I Literally I literally

1053
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: could not remember it. Yes, it's been banished from my brain.

1054
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: It's only three years ago. Uh piccolo. Now, I honestly

1055
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: don't remember what my name.

1056
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 3: Oh we gotta call Matty ill.

1057
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 2: I feel like remember, we'll figure it out. Uh maybe

1058
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: a smoopy that does ring a bell?

1059
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: Bumpscle's really good?

1060
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. Yeah. We were looking at each other

1061
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: and daniel said, why did I name myself a Bumpsycle?

1062
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 2: I literally, no one at the camp knows your name,

1063
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 2: So you go on throughout this camp referring to each

1064
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 2: other as a Bumpsacle. I couldn't call her Danielle. I couldn't.

1065
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 2: It was illegal. It would it would bash my shins

1066
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: if I called her by a real land you were at.

1067
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot about that part. So there's about

1068
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty people in this camp and we

1069
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: all venture into the dining hall and all of a sudden,

1070
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 2: a paper rock scissors competition breaks out. You just have

1071
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 2: to turn to somebody, to the person besides you play

1072
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 2: paper rocissors, and if you lose to that person, you

1073
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: have to become their biggest cheerleader as they venture onto

1074
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: to the next person. I went on around baby, I won.

1075
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's probably about ten games in a row.

1076
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 5: Was it? Was it just straight up three of them?

1077
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: No, just best the one best the one, and I

Speaker 4: Or was just that shoot on three?

1080
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't even remember my name much.

1081
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 9: Speaking of that.

1082
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 3: I just texted Matt what was Tessa's camp name? And

Speaker 3: Was it was it butt nut? Maybe I was smoopy?

1085
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think maybe Danielle was smoopy and I was bumpsicle.

1086
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,919

Speaker 3: He says, wow, I have it. Okay, I'm seeing Oh yep,

1089
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 3: he said bumpsicle.

1090
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would make more sense that she would. I'd

1091
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: be a little bit more comfortable.

1092
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah you were she was smoopy. Oh sure, okay.

1093
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, so I almost almost got the final. I got

1094
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 2: to the final four and I lost right before the final.

1095
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 2: So it was it was rough. It was I was

1096
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: almost there. I almost stuck on the trophy.

1097
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 3: Rapid fire questions, nothing rapid about the answers.

1098
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: I love it.

1099
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: I love it. Trey. What's the best debut you ever had?

1100
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 6: Well, this is going to be just a banner day

1101
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 6: for Matt Austin because the best debut we ever had

1102
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 6: with our very first episode on TV, we had Matt

1103
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 6: come dressed all white, wearing a bird mask, a feather

1104
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 6: bola and no, she is just walking around in his socks.

1105
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 6: Come in literally zero plan on what to say. We're like,

1106
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 6: you'll pretend to be a Pelican mascot.

1107
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 4: Your name is John.

1108
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 6: But then he came out and he said his name

1109
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 6: was Jammed because he was doing an accent, and that

1110
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 6: was literally within the first twenty minutes that we were

1111
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 6: ever on team.

1112
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 2: Because birds have accents.

1113
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was top can.

1114
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 6: He was carrying he was like carrying a trout around

1115
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 6: or something like. Yeah, right, we thought that was an

1116
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 6: awesome idea.

1117
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 4: That was probably.

1118
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 6: The almost the best thing we ever did the first

1119
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 6: half hour of the show.

1120
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 5: We lost six more years after that.

1121
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 8: I was up there in the control room with all

1122
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 8: the executives that our first show, and it was awkward.

1123
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Here a pin drop? What have we done?

1124
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 3: No, no, I just shared that clip on Twitter because

1125
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 3: of Matt's birth day. Go watch that clip. It is

Speaker 6: Chris Weber literally on like the very first game time. Afterwards,

1130
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 6: they're like, so what did you think about back climp?

1131
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 6: He just like did a huge, nice start.

1132
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 2: That was the clip they picked the show.

Speaker 4: Yeah, we probably sent it over like this is great, the.

Speaker 1: a great, great night.

1144
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 6: I did a podcast with Andy Barons of Yahoo Sports

1145
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 6: this week and he literally asked me about He's like,

1146
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 6: oh god, I've heard a lot on your podcast about

1147
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 6: Lee playing basketball.

1148
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 4: I know he's got a good shot.

1149
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 6: Did you guys know that he was going to be

1150
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 6: able to perform like that in the media tournament?

1151
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 4: Was? Honestly? I mean, the guy is money. I'm not surprised,

Speaker 4: all right, excellent.

1153
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 3: Greg Popovich says the Marcus Morris situation was handled quote unprofessionally.

1154
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 3: Morris agreed to a two year, twenty million dollar deal

1155
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 3: with San Antonio in the summer, but he renegged to

1156
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: sign a one year, fifteen million dollar contract with the Knicks.

1157
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 3: A little last minute switch up there. Guys, tell me

1158
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: about a time when you backed out on a promise

1159
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,280
Speaker 3: or a commitments.

1160
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 2: Well, the other day, actually, I was at a Halloween

1161
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: event with Danielle and Zoe, my my wife and daughter,

1162
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: and Zoe did a little pumpkin decorating a tiny little

1163
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 2: pumpkin about the size of the softball. You know, they

1164
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: get him decorated. So I was. I was carrying this

1165
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 2: pumpkin for about an hour and Daniels said, put it

1166
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: in my backpack, don't carry I said, I'm fine, I'll

1167
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: carry it. After a while, I got tired of carrying it,

1168
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 2: and so I just put it down on purpose. I left.

1169
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 4: You decorated it.

1170
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got a lot of my daughter's artwork. I

1171
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: love it, I appreciate it, I respect it. But we

1172
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 2: don't need to carry We won't have any room if

1173
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: we had, if we keep every single piece of our artwork.

1174
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 2: So Danielle about five minutes later, so, whre's the pumpkin? Said?

1175
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: I left it and went back over there, and she

1176
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 2: got furious with me, and so I went back to

1177
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: go find it and it was already gone. Some other

1178
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 2: kid must have stolen it. It was it real pumpkin, yeah.

1179
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 3: Perishable anyway, I heard grad already had stolen.

1180
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,479
Speaker 2: It's a decorative for sure.

1181
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 6: There's nothing better as a dad than when your kid

1182
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 6: gives you something to just throw it on the ground

1183
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 6: because they're like, I'm for sure not keeping this. For sure,

1184
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna hang you on to fifteen leaves in

1185
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 6: my pockets while we walk around the botanical gardens. But

1186
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 6: for me, the commitment I broke was when Laura and

1187
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 6: I got married. I came into it never never wanting

1188
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 6: to mow the lawn. She loves mowing the lawn.

1189
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: So she's like, this is perfect.

1190
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 4: I'll mow the lawn. You can do all the laundry.

1191
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, sure, no problem. We've never lived at a

1192
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 4: house that has a lawn yet.

1193
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 6: I haven't mowed in eleven years. But I'm also washing clothes,

1194
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 6: fold them up. I figured out how to fold a

1195
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 6: towel into thirds.

1196
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 4: What a guy.

1197
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 2: Nice, You're real, Marie Condo.

1198
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 4: That's right.

1199
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: Vertical stacking.

1200
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 4: Lee.

1201
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 3: Tell me about a time when you backed out on

1202
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 3: a promise or commitment.

1203
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: Well, it happened this week. I've been home alone with

1204
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: the two boys. My wife's been traveling. And so when

1205
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: you're when you're there with the two kids, you're often

1206
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: making promises to try to get them to behave and

1207
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: to stop fighting with each other. And I said, okay, boys,

1208
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: after dinner, behave yourself. We're going for a King of

1209
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: the Pops up the road at Bell Street Burritos. I said,

1210
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: let me just clean up the dishes. You boys just

1211
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: go in there and play. I don't want to hear

1212
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: any fighting. Two seconds later, guys, stop fighting, or you won't.

1213
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 5: Get your King of the Pops. Okay, okay, go back in.

1214
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: I put the I put the washing up like stuff

1215
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: in the dish washing and starting they're fighting again. They're

1216
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, over nothing, over a piece of lego or something. Guys, guys,

1217
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: seriously cut it out or we're not going. They obviously

1218
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: just don't care or don't or the authority.

1219
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: Of my boys.

1220
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: And because I have to get going, and I put

1221
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: on the dish washing gloves as well, you know when

1222
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: you're doing the dishes. And I had to keep washing, Yeah,

1223
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: because I rinsed it first. I'm a rinser first. I'd

1224
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: like to rinse and give it a quick strutch so

1225
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: I can get your water right, Yeah, no, I can't mind.

1226
00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: My hands get really dry afterwards. So anyway, so I

1227
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 1: had to put them mine and take them off like

1228
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: three times, and I just said, right, that's it, guys,

1229
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: we're not going. We're not going for the King of

1230
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 1: the Pops and they were furious. And as you know,

1231
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to.

1232
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 6: Like doubt it's King of Pop.

1233
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 5: Maybe that's where the confusion line.

1234
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why they were.

1235
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 2: So in the end, we didn't go.

1236
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 5: We didn't go, and I was like, all right, that's it.

1237
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 5: There I going. So there was a lot of tension

1238
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 5: and anger and resentfulness in the house last night. That's

1239
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 5: the exact opposite.

1240
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 8: You kept your promise then, right, you didn't back out

1241

1245
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 5: I kept my promise.

1246
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 3: Final line finale. I'm sure you heard. Celtic center Tackle

1247
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 3: Fall missed this week team season opener with a concussion.

1248
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 3: How did he hurt himself? Trying to stay clean? He

1249
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 3: didn't want to put on a dish club, So why

1250
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 3: did wash his head? Now? The seven foot five big

1251
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 3: man cracked his head on what he called a low

1252
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 3: ceiling while trying to wash his hands after a workout. Guys,

1253
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 3: what's your favorite weirdest injury? It can be yourself or

1254
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 3: some other injury you've heard of tests.

1255
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: Lee, You're gonna like this one because it involves moisturizer

1256
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 2: on hands. It was Charles Barkley had an eye injury

1257
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 2: at an Eric Clapton concert way back in nineteen ninety four.

1258
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: This is a difficult story to believe, but apparently he had.

1259
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: He was at an Air Clapton concert and he had

1260
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: some allergies and so he starts rubbing his eyes and

1261
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 2: apparently the moisturizer from his hands as well as the lights,

1262
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: which doesn't really make sense, bothered his eyes so bad

1263
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 2: that he burned his cornea. Oh, he burned layers of

1264
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: his cornea and didn't play in the first game for

1265
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 2: the Suns. It's the most unbelievable story, and I'm still

1266
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 2: not sure if I believe. But do you see's sticking

1267
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 2: by it twenty five years later.

1268
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 6: It sounds like a dangerous moisturize or whatever it's onto

1269
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 6: the market.

1270
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt try. Uh.

1271
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 6: Weirdest injury for me is flume hole. You know, I

1272
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 6: like going to a water park. I love that really

1273
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 6: tall body slides, but I wear a short swimming trunk,

1274
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 6: as many fellas do these days, and when you're going

1275
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 6: down high speeds on the flume, there can be a

1276
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 6: little tearing, a little heating, a little uh the daying,

1277
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 6: if you will, And then afterwards you got like that

1278
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,439
Speaker 6: mesh liner in your swim trunks creeping up in there.

1279
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 4: It can flume hole is a real, a real.

1280
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 6: Worry when you're at the water park.

1281
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 4: I had it this summer. It could last for a

1282
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 4: couple of days.

1283
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 3: I hope we see DND fluo hole.

1284
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: I need to do is put a little popsicle on

1285
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 2: your bump scull after that and you'll be fine. Oh yeah,

1286
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean the laying of a swim trunk.

1287
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 4: Oh, it's bad.

1288
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 5: It needs working.

1289
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does need it exactly all right.

1290
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 3: What's your favorite weirdiss injury?

1291
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: When I was twenty, we went away on a houseboat,

1292
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: me and some friends for another friend's twenty first birthday.

1293
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: It was beautiful in summer, and we were all drinking

1294
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: on the boat on the very first day and the

1295
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: boat was moving along. We're taking it in terms of

1296
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: driving it while we were drinking, which is pretty crazy.

1297
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: But the other guys we were off the back. We

1298
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: were jumping off the back of this moving houseboat, hanging.

1299
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 2: Onto a rope, right, yeah, And I was like.

1300
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone's having fun. And I got up there and

1301
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: I had easily like five or six beers by this point,

1302
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: and I jumped and the rope got tangled around my

1303
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: arm and as I landed in the water, it tugged.

1304
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: It nearly dislocated my shoulder. But it actually has like

1305
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: cut my bicep or my one of my muscles in

1306
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: my arm. And I'm so lucky that I didn't just

1307
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: lose my entire or at least do some severe.

1308
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 5: Damage to it.

1309
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1310
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: And uh, you know when you're drunk and you're just

1311
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: trying to shake it up. Now, I'm fine, I'm fun.

1312
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what going on here? So

1313
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to ice it but still drink and still

1314
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: play it cool. And I still sort of have the

1315
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: weird sort of scarf from it today. It's really weird,

1316
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: like it's it's like a torn muscle in my arm.

1317
