35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,840

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: up on energy A cool fourteen hours skeatzy, and we

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: found out within the first hour that our iPads are

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: too old to support mobile streaming. Oh no, oh, babies,

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the baby's watching my little pony on this little phony

40
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: in the back seat while Laura and I are sharing

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: an earbud to listen to what you're wrong about?

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: Wow, did you all think of stopping at the nearest

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: best Buy or Walmart? And picking up the latest iPad.

44
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: Let me grab a quick pad here. No, I said,

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: you're lucky.

46
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, all we could do is

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: look out the window, look at lands.

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: Please exactly you want to draw?

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 5: We got paper, all right?

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I got home though, and Lely, I know

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: there was some maybe complications if you want to call

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: them at the border at customs, but all of you guys.

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 6: Eventually, yes, we did make it in. It took us

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 6: a little longer than first planned, but we got there.

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 6: You had a little delay when we arrived in Toronto.

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 6: Here we had to stay on the tarmac, but turned

57
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 6: into a little blessing in disguise because the boys, my

58
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: two boys nine to five, got a.

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: Tour of the cockpit.

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: They don't really do those things anymore.

61
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 6: And the boys, the boys, they said, any kids who

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 6: want to come and have a look at the cockpit,

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 6: they come up. While we're on the tarmac here. The

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 6: boys raced up there and we're actually sitting in different

65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 6: rows just because of the way the alignment was of

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 6: the seats.

67
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: So I stayed back.

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 6: My wife went up there with the boys, and I

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 6: knew they came back when I could hear my five

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 6: year old walking back down the art going.

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 5: Man, they even have lights on the roof in there.

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: Oh well that's fun. You got some photos of that,

74
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: I assume or somebody I've got.

75
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've got a few photos of it. So yeah,

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 6: it was great stuff. So well done, Delta. You kept

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 6: the family somewhat saying during one of those unexpected delays.

78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: Okay, great, and Genie, you must be excited. You're heading

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: home here soon too, well hopefully.

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe we'll see. I'm excited. Sure.

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna be in the cockpit.

82
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, probably, it sounds like it if they're keeping people behind,

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 8: But Air Canada doesn't do that sort of thing. They're like,

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 8: suck it up, kids, we're in a pandemic.

85
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: All right, it's a Monday show. Here we do our

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: winners and losers of the NBA weekend, and we're gonna

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: get to that in a second. But let's start with

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: sort of like good news bad news. Here, start with

89
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: the good news. Let's get everybody in the in the

90
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: Christmas spirit. Here we have another Weggie. Guys, the rare

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: Saturday Matinee Weggie. We just don't get this a lot

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: on it. You don't really get a Saturday you know,

93
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock, one o'clock started as it is, but we

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: got a weggie Sidneak Bay there for the Pistons, sticking

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: it a little layup variety there. So sixteen on the season.

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: Really last week was a solid week for weggies, and

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: it continued into Saturday. I laughed about this one because

98
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: he tasks you were confused. I said something like in

99
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: the slack channel, like I'll grab this one, you know,

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: get it up on Twitter, and you were like, what,

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: what game is odd? Right now? It caught me by

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: surprise too. Luckily Twitter was all over it, letting us.

103
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, that's Saturday afternoon. That's not for the NBA. No, no,

104
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: that's for the chills. But I'm ready. On a Sunday afternoon,

105
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: there's usually just a one random game. But Sadik Bay

106
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: with the very much of a snowflake of a weggie,

107
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: that ball slipped out as well. You don't see that

108
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: very often slipped out on its own. Nobody had to

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: go get it. So true a very relaxed weggie.

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: So that's the good news. We're up to sixteen on

111
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: the season. Bad news. Do you want to call it

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: that the NBA had to postpone five games across three

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: days amid the league's COVID nineteen outbreak. Here we have

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: three matchups on Sunday, the Nuggets Nets, we had the

115
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: Pelicans seventy six ers, and the Cavaliers Hawks one that

116
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: I was actually a scheduled to go down to the

117
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: Fortress and watch. They were all called off. Tonight's game

118
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: between the Magic and Raptors, that's called off for delayed

119
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: or postpone. And Tuesday's game between the Wizards and the

120
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: new who have just been you know, absolutely ravaged here

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: with guys out of the lineup because of health and

122
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: safety protocols here with COVID that one too, So that's five.

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: Who knows we get more added here. The NBA has

124
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: not provided information when these matchups will be rescheduled. But

125
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,559
Speaker 2: the question everybody is asking tasks I think we already

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: asked it a week or so ago. Do you think

127
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: the NBA should take a break here and maybe just

128
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: pause the league for a little bit, or do you

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: think no, you sort of just got to power through this.

130
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: What's your take?

131
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: Well? Should Yeah, the NBA definitely should take a break

132
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: right now. NBA fans shouldn't have to be watching glorified

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: g League games, and the NBA should back up its

134
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: words about caring about the spread of the virus Delta

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: omikron whatever Greek letters coming down the pipe next. They're

136
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: making their way through the league. They're relentless, and it's

137
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: not about the players being sick or getting critically ill.

138
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: It's about passing it along to people who could die

139
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: from the virus, the elderly, immuno compromised, young pe people

140
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: who can't get the vaccine. But listen, money talks. It's

141
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: just the way it's going to happen. They are going

142
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 3: to muscle through this. It's not happening. The league is

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: not going to stop. David Aldridge has an article up

144
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: on The Athletic talking to MVPA boss Michelle Roberts this morning,

145
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: and there wasn't any discussions about it being stopped at

146
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: this point. At Christmas Day games are coming up, such

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: a prominent day for the league. Seven games have been

148
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: canceled in total this year, which is far short of

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: the thirty one that were canceled last year when it

150
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: was less socially acceptable to be playing basketball games. I

151
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: think that's a part of it as well. It's just

152
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: the way it is right now. And last season it

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: was easier to reschedule games because buildings were empty, but

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: now buildings are packed and that sort of plays into

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: the Hey, yeah, it is less. It was less socially acceptable.

156
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: Last year things were things had stopped. But this year, yeah,

157
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: it's harder because concerts are going on. Everything is going on.

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: That being said, the NBA has done its part in

159
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: messaging to players. Ninety seven percent of players or vaccinated,

160
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: could be ninety eight percent. That's a high percentage. If

161
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: America was ninety seven or ninety eight percent vaccinated be

162
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: a far different story. So the NBA's message has gotten

163
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: to its players, but it's not stopping. There's so much

164
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: good stuff happening around the league too. We had a

165
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: great Bulls game. We're going to talk about Bulls Lakers,

166
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: most fantastic. Lillard dropped forty three. He seems like he's back.

167
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: Mike Cleveland Clavaliers have won nineteen games already. They're third

168
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference nineteen games. They took him till

169
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: April to win nineteen last year, and the two years

170
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: before that they won nineteen games each, So it stinks,

171
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: but yes, the NBA is going to muscle through, even

172
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: if I think it's fifteen percent of players. According to

173
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: David Aldridge, there are in health and safety protocols because

174
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: they are taking care of the players in that way.

175
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: But the league should strictly just stop and the games

176
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: will be around. But there's too many things to balance,

177
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: you know, the sponsors, the buildings and uh yeah, the

178
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: ticket sales.

179
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Christmas Day marquee games is interesting, right, Trey,

180
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Because on one hand, you get why the league wants

181
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: to like keep the games going, because that's the NBA's day.

182
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's when people say, that's when the

183
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: season actually starts, right. But on the other hand, if

184
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: those Christmas Day games are a bunch of people we've

185
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: never even heard of, and all these star players are

186
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: maybe unfortunately out, and we're waiting to see if, like

187
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: you know, we'll Trey Young still be out, will Yannis

188
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: still be out? And goes on and on and on.

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: But like I guess you could argue, like is that

190
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: even more Is that more harm than you know, actually

191
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: playing these games with these call ups in two ways

192
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. I don't know if you have

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: an opinion on that.

194
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: Probably an even bigger question this year, since there are

195
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: going to be NFL games on as well on Christmas Day,

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: planned some Saturday games because they're getting later into the season,

197
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: So the NBA is going to be on their biggest day,

198
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: pushing a bunch of shorthanded teams missing their stars against

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: the biggest sport in the world that they try and

200
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: schedule around. So yeah, yeah, you're right, maybe that is

201
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: a problem. But Tass is right, the league should take

202
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: a break, get everybody boosted in the meantime, all the

203
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: players that are already vaccinated, But that certainly seems unlikely

204
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: based on all the reporting we heard from Sham's last night.

205
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Basically that once your players go into protocol, not only

206
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: can you sign new players, you.

207
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: Have to sign new players.

208
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: So to me, that was kind of a sign that

209
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: the league, at least for right now, is pushing through.

210
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: Maybe on December twenty sixth, we get noticed that the

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: league is going to be taking a break here, but

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: it definitely does not feel like it's going to happen

213
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: before the Christmas Day games.

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: In related news, over the weekend, I guess it was

215
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: maybe it was on Friday after our show the Nets Sake,

216
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irvingly is returning as a part time player. For now,

217
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: he won't be playing games for the Brooklyn Nets at

218
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: home in Brooklyn. Now he can practice because it will

219
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: be a private facility at that point, but he'll play

220
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: in these road games outside of traveling to Toronto play

221
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: the Raptors. Sort of a one eedy here from this organization.

222
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: What were your thoughts on this?

223
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't really like the messaging.

224
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 6: I know that right now so many teams are decimated

225
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 6: by injuries, but to then have a situation where guys

226
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: are getting breakthrough infections and their answers, well, let's get

227
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 6: an unvaccinated person on the road. I think you're just

228
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 6: playing with even more danger there, because we know that

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 6: you can still spread the virus even if you are vaccinated.

230
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 6: We understand that normal people understand that can still happen,

231
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 6: but when you're unvaccinated, the rate of you being able

232
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 6: to do that, it's just significantly increased. And I also

233
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 6: sort of think it just sends a message that like,

234
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: the Nets are going to stand on their morals, and

235
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 6: then they're like, who cares, Now we're short of players,

236
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 6: Let's just bring anyone back whoever we can get. We've

237
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 6: got an All Star who's not playing there, so I

238
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 6: don't like it. But Kyrie has already in protocols himself.

239
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 6: So how long he's going to be out for. I'm

240
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 6: not sure if the rules how they apply to unvaccinated

241
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 6: versus vaccinated, but I'm guessing he's going to need to

242
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 6: pass a negative test at least two before he is

243
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 6: able to play, so we probably won't see him for

244
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 6: at least ten twelve fourteen days here at a minimum,

245
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 6: So I'm not really sure. But then I just sort

246
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 6: of think, you know, Steve Nash and Joe Si and

247
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 6: Sean Marks, their whole message was like, you know, we

248
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 6: need to know who our guys are going forward. That

249
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: was their whole thing, like we can't have a part

250
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 6: time player, And now they're saying, actually, who cares, We'll

251
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 6: just take a part time player because we're so desperate.

252
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: So I think it's the wrong thing, but that's the

253
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 6: NETS call, and that's what they've gone to play with,

254
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 6: and we'll see just how many games Kyrie can actually play.

255
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 6: And also the question is because right now he would

256
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 6: not be allowed into Canada, so what happens if the Nets,

257
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 6: I know, it's looking a long way down. But if

258
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 6: he's still not vaccinated in June or April and the

259
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 6: Nets and the Raptors play in a playoff series, what's

260
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 6: going to happen? Then he can't play in New York

261
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 6: and he can't play in Toronto. So it seems a

262
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 6: bit silly, but you know, the tug of war between

263
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 6: the vaccinated and unvaccinated that's going to continue. But right now,

264
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 6: I think from the league's standpoint, as the other guys

265
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 6: have said here, certainly we're not going to see any

266
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 6: shutdowns before Christmas Day and after that. I guess the

267
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 6: question they have to answer is like how long if

268
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 6: they do choose to have a pause for it is that?

269
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: Is it a week? Is it two weeks? Is it

270
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 5: a month?

271
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 6: Because I don't think anyone really knows the answer. And

272
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 6: I also think when we went back to last year

273
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 6: in the bubble, a part of the problem they had

274
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: was when people weren't playing, they were sort of getting

275
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 6: together and that was also sort of spreading the virus

276
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 6: around then. So there is that concern that maybe if

277
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 6: people are left to theirselves and not with the team,

278
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 6: they could still contract the virus.

279
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 5: So there's just so.

280
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 6: Many unanswerable questions right now, and I think the league's

281
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: just trying to sort of push as far as they

282
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 6: can until perhaps they get to a point where they're like, Okay,

283
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 6: now it's simply impossible for us to continue. And I

284
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 6: don't know if anyone really knows where that point is,

285
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 6: where that mark in the.

286
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: Sand is continue.

287
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: It's impossible for you and Silver cut second you go cleged.

288
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: Now you're good, You're back.

289
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: Well, the Kyrie thing is really interesting for the basketball perspective.

290
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: You know, Lee covered the non basketball perspective. But yeah,

291
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: he can't play in Madison Square Garden, he can't play

292
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: in Barkley's, he can't play in Toronto. So there's twenty

293
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 3: three games that they play on the road if he starts,

294
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: you know, in then twenty twenty two, but he can

295
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: only play in twenty of them. And then what happens

296
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: in the playoffs? I mean, would they rather have the

297
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: two seed and let the Bucks get the one seed

298
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: so he can play four games in Milwaukee rather than

299
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: rather than have four games at home, which he can't play,

300
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean, so he could have more games. It's just

301
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: it is wild. It's wild. Yeah, that Sean Marks really

302
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: flipped the script. It just seems like it came from

303
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: the front office and Sean Marks basically said, you know,

304
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: we're supposed to sign all these guys to hardship exceptions

305
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: to replace everybody who's out. They have ten guys who

306
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: are in the health and safety protocols, but why why

307
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: go get a guy who's got a hardship exception. Let's

308
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: just or like, you know, somebody who you know is

309
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: the g League or broad Lance Stevenson's available, but you

310
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: know what we got Kyrie. Let me let him play

311
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: on the road. So it is it's just strange. Now,

312
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: Kyrie never said that he's against vaccines, So to me,

313
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: there's a chance that this is bringing him closer to

314
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: getting vaccinated. I mean, the reason why he's out, he

315
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: said he was a voice for the voiceless, for the

316
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: people who were mandated to work because they had to

317
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: get a vaccine. So to me, I don't know, I

318
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: don't have any insiright information, But does this mean he's

319
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: closer to getting vaccinated? Because this would be really strange

320
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: if he's there for months and he can only play

321
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: on the road and then only on the road in

322
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs if the situation is the same. I understand

323
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: Durant's played forty one minutes per game the last nine games,

324
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: and ten guys again are in health and safety protocols.

325
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: But this is just this is really truly unprecedented, in

326
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: a really unprecedented scenario. But I lean that he is

327
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: thinking about getting vaccinated because he didn't rule it out

328
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: when he did his IG live before the season started

329
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: and he talked about why he isn't playing. So this

330
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: is this is a wild one for him to say.

331
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: Are for the team to say we're going back on

332
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: it and then him to enter health and safe protocols

333
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: the very next day. I know the Kyrie Hurt haters

334
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: were rejoicing at that moment.

335
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean other people are putting on their conspiracy

336
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: hats and wondering do the Nets want him out there,

337
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: even if it's just road games, to try and trade him,

338
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: to show that he obviously still has it and is

339
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: still an all NBA type talent and they can move him.

340
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: There's those people that are saying that Lenders Court, There's

341
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: people that are saying that maybe Kevin Durant has actually

342
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: gone to the nets and said, even though he keeps

343
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: telling us he loves playing, you know, forty five minutes

344
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: per game with a bunch of nobodies, he seems to

345
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: enjoy it and flourish that he's gone to them and say, hey,

346
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: come on, I mean, I mean, I do need some

347
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: help here. Let's get him out there, even if it's

348
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: just road games, Like, who really knows, We'll just see

349
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: when Kyrie returns, if he returns, and where he returns.

350
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: But crazy times in the NBA and in the world,

351
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: it's need to feel like groundhog Day, I guess a

352
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: little bit like we have, just like we literally feel

353
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty Oh my god, Christmas last year. It

354
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: truly is. It's like, uh, what what did we do

355
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: on no spoiler here, but what did we do with

356
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: the the hour blast of time? Trey?

357
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

358
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: No, the repercussion man, we knew it was a bad

359
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: twist skates, but we didn't know it was this bat.

360
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 3: No.

361
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: No, she I don't think she ever would have done it.

362
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: She would have never smashed it otherwise she knew what

363
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: was going to happen. Okay, guys, Uh, let's get to

364
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: on the court. Winners of the NBA weekend, Trey, I

365
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: got a great idea where you're gonna get it started

366
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: with here this morning, we have at it.

367
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: There's only one reason I'm on the show this morning, Skates.

368
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: The Bulls didn't play for eight days. They finally come

369
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: back have the game of the weekend, and I'm willing

370
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: to bet it goes down as the best Christmas Day

371
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: game of the season. I know what you're thinking, wasn't

372
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: it December nineteenth yesterday? Yeah, but this is too Marquie

373
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: opponents and I woke up in Illinois and opened some

374
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: Christmas presents at my dad's house, so trust me, it

375
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: felt like a Christmas Day game. That was exciting stuff

376
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: from the Bulls and the Lakers last night. You know,

377
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: the Bulls have obviously had their problems with the protocols

378
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers have as well. No Anthony Davis last night.

379
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: No Frank Vogel for the Lakers, so David Fizdale stepped

380
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: into his seat and they put together a banger. The star,

381
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: no doubt, was Demart de Rosen, who would be the

382
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: MVP of the NBA if he got to play against

383
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers every single game. He's averaging thirty eight a game,

384
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: against the Lakers and two wins this year. Thirty eight

385
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: last night, thirty eight in La obviously last nightly what

386
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: a free throws do win games? Sixteen for seventeen from

387
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: the line for Derozen just doing his part and honestly

388
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: putting the team on his back. And I don't know,

389
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch, you know. The Bulls played pretty

390
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: well in the first half. Third quarter got really ugly.

391
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: I thought they looked like a team that hadn't played

392
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: for eight straight days. The Laker turned up the defense,

393
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: they started forcing turnovers and started taking care of the

394
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: ball a lot better themselves.

395
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: Lebron really got into the flow in the third.

396
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Quarter, got tight heading into the fourth as a one

397
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: point lead for the Lakers. Had to put on my

398
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Bulls hat. Had to stand by the tv. Oh, my dad,

399
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: my step mom? Is he always this animated watching the Bulls?

400
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: Laura looks over. Yeah, they thought I was crazy, But

401
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: Skeets took home to win. He saw Bulls were down

402
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: heading into the fourth, put on the hat.

403
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 4: They won. Did I contribute to the win? Probably a

404
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 4: little bit.

405
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, not as much as Lonzo ball, though Lonzo ball

406
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: was all over the place. No Stacy king for the Bulls,

407
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: so I was having to do some of the ad libs.

408
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: There's five Lonzos out there. Did you see this guy

409
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: in the last two minutes. He may not have had

410
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: a great scoring second half, but he had an awesome

411
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: steal down in the right corner defensively on one of

412
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: the last possessions of the game, balls bouncing around, he

413
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: bots it out, tips it around and gets back to

414
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: the balls for another shot. DeRozan knocks down the ice

415
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: cold mid range jumper.

416
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 4: The guy was great.

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: You know, he hadn't played for quite some time because

418
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: he picked up his health and safety protocols. Then the

419
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: Bulls had their games postponed, so it had been a while,

420
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: but it looked like he hadn't missed a beat coming

421
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: back and finally playing after such a long time away.

422
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: So it was great to see the Bulls come back,

423
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: and it was great to see that they actually picked up.

424
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: Where they left off prior to their shutdown.

425
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: DeRozan said, task he's playing as free as a bird

426
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: right now. I mean that was wild. That final sequence.

427
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: I mean Lebron with a hell of a block on him,

428
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: you know, DeRozan attacking the room. Lebron still has it,

429
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: denies it, but then it finds its way over to

430
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: the corner. Bulls get another shot. I think that was

431
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: Alonzo possibly Alonzo three that he missed, but they get

432
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: it again and that ends in the uh the DeRozan, Yeah,

433
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: cold blooded jumper in Lebron's eye, like a step inside

434
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: the three point line, which is ultimately the game winner there.

435
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: But this is a this is fun task. I know

436
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: you're I know you're loving the the DeRozan. I guess

437
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 2: just he's getting his flowers right now. It's sort of cool.

438
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he would be like he probably would be

439
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: All NBA first team at least second team if it

440
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: was ending this season, you know, and maybe he's hurt

441
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: a little bit by missing some games there. But as

442
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: a Raptors fan, I mean, all of Canada's cheering this

443
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: guy on, and he's he's missed a bunch of games,

444
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 2: comes back and hits clutch shots.

445
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: He is playing his best ball of his career, even

446
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: though he's had you know, all star seasons. He had

447
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 3: a twenty seven point season. I forgot about going over

448
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: his stats when he was with the Raptors, but the

449
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: way he went at Lebron over and over and over again.

450
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: Even if Lebron blocked him that one time. I mean

451
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: he has he has shed the Lebronto owning him feeling.

452
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the way he was playing one

453
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: on one and just going at him. This is my

454
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: favorite year of watching Demarta Rosen. The guy is playing

455
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: free as a bird. He had nineteen in the fourth quarter,

456
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 3: nineteen points because he was just being relied upon. And yeah,

457
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a team that can rely on so

458
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: many different guys, obviously, and that's what makes them so good.

459
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: If DeMar's not having it one night, then Zach can

460
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: pick it up. And I think you can really appreciate

461
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 3: Lonzo Ball in this role. I think it's sort of

462
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: like Andrew Wiggins in Golden State, where he is in

463
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: a bit of a lesser role. He doesn't have to

464
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: be a number one scorer, so he can miss that

465
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: three pointer, he can miss a lot of shots, but

466
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: you can appreciate, if you're watching the game how much

467
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: he does in other aspects of the game and he

468
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: doesn't have to carry the team. And I wondered coming

469
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: into this season as Lonzo Balls in his press conference

470
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: and he said, you know, this is going to be

471
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: a new me. I didn't have the ball in my

472
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 3: hands enough in New Orleans, but now I will. And

473
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: he hasn't really. I mean, he's playing off the ball

474
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: a lot. Obviously, he's pushing the pace, but he is

475
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: just fit in perfectly. And so yeah, there's so many

476
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: likable guys on this Bulls team and they have not

477
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: skipped a beat, and they're just they're just loving each other,

478
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: like Trey is loving watching this game.

479
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: Lee, would you think of this one because it was

480
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: very entertaining that fourth quarter. I thought with them, you know,

481
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: trading big plays after big plays.

482
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you could just go to master class and

483
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 6: see here's Dermada Rosen with a fourth quarter master class,

484
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 6: because once.

485
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 5: Again he was just work and I'm going to keep

486
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 5: real working as long as they can, you know.

487
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 6: But because it didn't matter who was defending him. I mean,

488
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 6: Trevor Reesa was on him at one point. I mean

489
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 6: you may have put me on him at that stage,

490
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 6: because DeRozan just is like, Okay, this is not even defense.

491
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 6: I'm just going to go to my spots, spin around

492
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: and knock that ball in. And then there was another

493
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: time as well, and this is what I pointed out

494
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 6: about Derez, Well, when he's in that groove, you wouldn't

495
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 6: blame him if he decided to take every shot. But

496
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 6: instead Carmelo was on Vucevic and he sort of left

497
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 6: him to double DeRozan. DeRozan just lobbed it in to

498
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 6: vuc and Vuce's turned around and scored. So DeRozan is

499
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 6: just in such control of the game. And I'm seeing

500
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 6: a few comments here in the stream team he sort

501
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 6: of has turned the tables on Lebron a bit, because

502
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 6: that's what Lebron used to do. Just like, never look

503
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 6: like the DeRozan's team could beat him when he was

504
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 6: at the Raptors. Now it sort of looks the opposite.

505
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 6: It's like DeRozan is in complete control of how their

506
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 6: Bulls offense is right now, whether or not he's even

507
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 6: scoring or shooting. But his presence out there has brings

508
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 6: so much gravity to him and folk on him that

509
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 6: it just makes it very hard to defend Chicago right now.

510
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 6: So he's just so cool to watch a guy who's

511
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 6: just like an executioner out there where he's like mid range,

512
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 6: you cannot stop me.

513
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: I'm not going for the three.

514
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 6: That's not really my shot, but instead that mid range

515
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 6: doesn't matter who's defending me. I'm going to rise up

516
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 6: and they're not even hitting the rim right now. They're

517
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 6: just going through beautiful like swish bombs. So I'm in Toronto.

518
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 6: I had to bring out my old throwback shirt here

519
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 6: of DeMar and Kyle the old Twins, and it was

520
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 6: you know, it's just so cool to see Derosen play

521
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 6: the way that he is right now. And you know,

522
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 6: I don't actually think I wouldn't put him in the

523
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 6: first team just simply because of the positions there, but

524
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 6: certainly he's in the second or third All NBA team

525
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 6: at least right now, because he's been brilliant all season long.

526
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy the stream team was fact checking me

527
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: there on my All NBA first team call for de Rosen,

528
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: because I do I'm stuck in my raptors das. I

529
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: do think of him still as a shooting guard a

530
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: lot of the time, and I never plays the guard position.

531
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: He really is considered a forward. He's really power forward

532
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 2: at this point of his career, he was with the

533
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: Spurs and he's continued.

534
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: To do that.

535
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: So that's when it becomes difficult. Sure, to be first

536
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: first team All NBA forward when you've got Giannis, Katie

537
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: and then and you'll kich Yeah, probably not that's taking

538
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: in there. But but if you if you considered him

539
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: a guard, a shooting guard, let's say it's Curry, and

540
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: then there's a spot right there, and I think you're

541
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: making a case for like a Mitchell. I think Deroza

542
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: would be there. You know, you might even get crazy

543
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: and you're talking yourself into Chris Paul and what he's

544
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: done for the for the Suns and their record, But yeah,

545
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: he is a forward, and put him down for an

546
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: All NBA team.

547
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, forget, forget the All NBA ballot. DeRozan is a

548
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: lock for that first or second team right now. I

549
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: got him at number five on the MVP tracker. I

550
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: haven't checked Basketball Reference. I mean, the guy is money

551
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and the balls have been really

552
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: good and so far, I mean, we've got a nice

553
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: top four candidates in Curry, Durant, Jokic, and Jannis. Number

554
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: five is up for grabs right now, and for me,

555
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: as a homer, it's got to beat Rosen. But I

556
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: don't think that's a huge homer take at this point.

557
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean I think there would there'd be

558
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: other people saying he's not at five, but yeah, he's.

559
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: Of course he is in the conversation to the second

560
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: table for MVP, like the one that's sitting right beside him.

561
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: All right, so the bulls as a winner. Actually, let's

562
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: show this to you because I saw people demanding it

563
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: in the stream team. You know, Benny the Bull, one

564
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: of the funniest mascots in the league, just went full

565
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: mean with it last night. Sorry, JD didn't have time

566
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: to throw us on a background, but there he is

567
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: with the Wolverine meme Lakers longing for Alex Caruso, who

568
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: played well in this one too, Tess in the victory, Yes, what.

569
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 3: Do you have? Thirteen in the third quarter. I think

570
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: it was a wild one Euro Yero, yero. He was

571
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: pulling out all the moves. Yeah, it was fun to

572
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: watch him. Yeah. A lot of revenge happening obviously the

573
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 3: Rosen against his hometown team Caruso Lonzo ball way back

574
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: playback Vucevich went to usc I've heard.

575
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: That could revenge game there from Lea. Let's keep it

576
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: going here. Who do you go for a winner of

577
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: the weekend.

578
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I've been critical of the Timberwolves this season

579
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 6: for just not sort of having a tough enough mentality,

580
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 6: and it starts a lot with their leader, Karl Anthony Towns.

581
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 6: And on Friday night, the Wolves had a built and

582
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 6: excuse going into the game against the Lakers because just

583
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 6: before tip off they lost Anthony Edwards and Torrian Prince

584
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 6: to COVID protocols. Now, almost every team has been affected

585
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 6: in some way anyway, and then, to make it worse,

586
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 6: the Lakers two stars who were questionable, Lebron and ad

587
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 6: actually both played. So the Wolves went from two and

588
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 6: a half point favorite to one and a half point

589
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 6: underdog just before tip off. But this was one of

590
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 6: the most impressive and dominant performances I've seen from Karl

591
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 6: Anthony Towns from the start because he was aggressive, he

592
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 6: was attacking Lebron and Anthony Davis. A couple just bodied

593
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 6: Anthony Davis, and I just think that's so important for

594
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Towns to play that way, to set that

595
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 6: sort of tone for the rest of his teammates. Because

596
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 6: he only finished with twenty eight points and ten rebounds.

597
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 6: Now that's not a huge statistical line, but I just

598
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 6: think the way that he blocked shots early on and

599
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 6: just said, listen, we have to go at These guys

600
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: were a man down, their second best player down, and

601
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 6: everyone else kind of fed off that leadership that I

602
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 6: think he showed out there. So, you know, the Lakers

603
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 6: a classic. The Wolves in the third quarter had a

604
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: big double digit lead. The Lakers made a push and

605
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 6: you're like, this is when the Wolves just lose focus

606
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 6: and they're going to get overrun here. But instead they

607
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 6: responded and they played really well. They hit threes, and

608
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 6: it wasn't just Towns, it was other guys like Jared

609
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 6: Vanderbilt out there playing well. Patrick Beverley, I know we're

610
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 6: going to get into him a little bit more, but

611
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 6: you know, he's one of those guys who brings a lart.

612
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: He upsets his own teammates as well at the right time,

613
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 6: but he can still contribute in crucial times for his teams.

614
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 6: And then last night, very similar story against the Mavericks,

615
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 6: both teams missing a lot of players, know Luca there

616
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 6: for the Mavericks.

617
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 5: The Mavericks went on a run.

618
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 6: I think Tim Hardaway got hot early on, but then

619
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 6: the Wolves hung on again. It's only twenty four and

620
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 6: seven from Karl Anthony Towns. But I think he just

621
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 6: really showed his team he was the best player on

622
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 6: the court last night, and then other guys come along

623
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 6: and just sort of raise their game as well. Now

624
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 6: they've won four in a row here in Minnesota. We've

625
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 6: seen this before. They'd lost five in a row before this. Well,

626
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 6: that's gonna happen in the next four or five games.

627
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 6: Which Minnesota Timberwolves team we're going to see, I'm not sure,

628
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 6: but you saw, especially on Friday night, Karl Anthony Towns

629
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 6: with a few plays, flexing, screaming, yelling like he needs

630
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 6: to be a bit more emotional. I think like that

631
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 6: because again in the past, the Wolves just like let

632
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 6: teams off the hook too many times and they didn't

633
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 6: need to do that. And against the Lakers, as I say,

634
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 6: the Lakers go into that game in the end as favorite,

635
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 6: and this one, the Wolves really controlled this one early on.

636
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 6: So I'm hopeful that maybe the Wolves have turned a corner.

637
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 6: But I feel I've been down this road before. But

638
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 6: you know, really good performance considering Edwards miss both games,

639
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 6: you know, he's been grateful. D'Angelo Russell played we Dandro

640
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 6: Russell had a dunk on Friday night, so there are

641
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 6: some signs there. Vanderbilt nearly beefed as well, so there

642
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 6: was other things happening.

643
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 5: But I don't know. I'm not sure what we're gonna see,

644
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 5: but I'm really happy to see.

645
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Town's just before this four game winning streak

646
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 6: was saying, you know, food doesn't taste good. Life sucks

647
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 6: right now, I'm always losing. You just saw a guy

648
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 6: out there who was like, I'm desperate to get a

649
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: couple of wins against good teams, and he got them.

650
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 6: And I think that's really really positive for Minnesota.

651
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially the teams that they've beaten your rate on

652
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: this four game win streak are teams in theory that

653
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: they could be challenging for a seating position, right, they

654
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: beat them, They beat the Blazers, they beat the Nuggets,

655
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: they beat the Lakers, and then they beat the MAVs.

656
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: Like you said on Sunday, there, you know, one, two, three,

657
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: maybe even four of those teams could be where Minnesota

658
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: is in the playoff standings. That win got them to

659
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: fifteen and fifteen. The or five hundred jumped ahead of

660
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: the Mavericks, so nice little streak here, though, we get

661
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: excited about Minnesota and then they just let us down.

662
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: They're upcoming games if you're curious. They're in Dallas, so

663
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: they got like the home and home versus them on Tuesday.

664
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: Then they're in Utah and then they're at home to

665
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: the Celtics and the Knicks, and then they play one

666
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: more on the road against the Jazz again on New

667
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: Year's Night, So we'll see. Can they keep up the

668
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: good play here? Can Carl Anthony Towns continue to dominate?

669
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: You know?

670
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: Look, we do this every couple of weeks. It's either

671
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: the Kings or Wolves we do this with. Then we

672
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: just trade it back and forth. But you're right, Lee,

673
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 2: that's a winner of the weekend.

674
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 4: I love it.

675
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: Any comments there on the Wolves.

676
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: Task, well, it was one month ago they won five

677
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: games in a row and car Anthony town said, we

678
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: got a little fat after we got back to that

679
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: five hundred mark. And yeah, they ended up going on

680
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: a five game losing streak. So I shall say nothing

681
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: fool me times, shame on me. I mean, I'm just

682
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: I saw Lee was going to talk about the Wolves,

683
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 3: and that's enough because I can't. I can't do it

684
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 3: right now. This is a team I do get excited for.

685
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: I get excited for every McDaniels in the league, every

686
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt in the league, every v eight. But Nope, not

687
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 3: doing it. Not doing it today, sir.

688
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: I love this comment in the stream team from Kevin

689
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: Lee complimenting Pat Beverly. It really is Christmas, that's true.

690
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 6: But the thing about him is is he does do

691
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 6: good things for his team. He's like the Wolves. He

692
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 6: will have a streak of five good things for his

693
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 6: team and then we'll have five of the dumbest plays, turnovers,

694
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 6: technical fowls at the wrong time, you know, unnecessarily fighting

695
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 6: the other team, you know, something like that, and it's like, why,

696
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 6: why can't you just be a little bit more consistent,

697
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 6: just tilt it six to four out of those ten

698
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 6: plays rather than have it a five five.

699
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 5: But he can provide value, you know that.

700
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 6: He loves going up against like the Lakers, you know,

701
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 6: and against Lebron because he can sort of that's that's

702
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 6: where he really wants to make his money. So good

703
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 6: for him. Actually, just two quick points as well. Anthony

704
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 6: Davis is out for like a month now here for

705
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 6: the Lakers with an ACL after Lebron shoved I can't

706
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 6: remember who that were? Maybe was it yeah?

707
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: Into? Into uh?

708
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 6: Into Anthony Davis and Lebron got an offensive fail and play,

709
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 6: and Isaiah Thomas made his return to the NBA and

710
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 6: led the Lakers in scoring. So uh, crazy stuff, crazy

711
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 6: stuff on a Fronday.

712
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get to the Lakers a little

713
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: bit later when we get to losers of the weekend.

714
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 3: Though.

715
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: There were some positives, the it being one, he looked,

716
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 2: he looked pretty good. We were talking him up. We

717
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: were saying, this guy looked good that G League game,

718
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: and he continued to play pretty well in the league. Okay,

719
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: three quick winners, guys, Saturday Night, shake gildess Alexander, let's

720
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: make him an All Star. Everybody drained the game winning

721
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: step back three to give OKC the win over the Clippers.

722
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: We got the clip for you guys here on the

723
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: stream team hell of aus separation there on the two,

724
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: I think, but where driving?

725
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: Where is he going? The only way you can lose

726
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: is a three pointer? Where are you going?

727
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: Amazing?

728
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: Amazing?

729
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: Wasn't even close to him, like and then SGA pulls

730
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: out the what we learned to be the lamar Odom dance,

731
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: which was amazing. He had talked about doing this when

732
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: he ever hit like a really clean game winner. I

733
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: guess he had talked to it with Darius Baisley, so

734
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: that if you somehow remember was Lamar did it in

735
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: like a two thousand street ball game. I remember that

736
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: clip and it's going around with that. I don't even Yeah,

737
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: I guess you just called the Lamar Yeah, yeah, the

738
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: only way he kind of replicated it better as if

739
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: he had tape over his earrings.

740
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 4: But a lot to play with aarrings, no tapes, right,

741
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 4: good call.

742
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: And I will say too. He was like his teammates

743
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: Mobbingham was, you know, hurting his real lamar odem dance.

744
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 2: He didn't have the separation to really get it off.

745
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: But hell of a shot. I mean he hit a

746
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 2: layup to make it a two point kid, like, there's

747
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: no way, okay, So he should have won this game

748
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: against the Clippers. They were down fourth like seventeen seconds ago.

749
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: Practice your free throws though, lead Justice Winslow. I think

750
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: missed a couple and that gave SGA a chance to

751
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: win the game. There, So hell of a shot. It's

752
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: just sort of cool that it comes right on the

753
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 2: heels of him hitting and even more insane what appeared

754
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: to be a game winner against the Pelicans and then

755
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: DeVante Graham hit that sixty one flitter to uh to

756
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: steal it.

757
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 4: So SGA just.

758
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 2: Hitting clutch shot after clutch shot and doing it against

759
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: the Clippers TK A a little reminder that game.

760
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I was watching this with Steve O.

761
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: Uh.

762
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: This man is an absolute sicko for any sport man.

763
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: He's got cable still, so you're able to flip through

764
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: channels really fast.

765
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: So he's like, there's.

766
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 5: Football games going on.

767
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Suddenly I'm seeing shake Gil Jose Alexander send Nikola Batoom

768
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: into the quantum realm for a jumper were a love

769
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, man, look down at my phone

770
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: at the wrong time.

771
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 4: Might been their dad. I've been there, buddy. They'll run

772
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: in back.

773
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

774
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: Is he uh? Is he good on the remote?

775
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 4: Like he's actually pretty good.

776
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: Good skill to have bounce around game to game. Yeah, okay.

777
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm always impressed when you can flip away from a

778
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: game at halftime and then you flip back to that

779
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: game and it's like the broadcaster sitting at the table.

780
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Welcome you back to the third quarter, because that, to

781
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: me is like the big variable. If you're like, how

782
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: long is this halftime going to be? Ten minutes, twelve minutes,

783
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: fourteen minutes, We're never really sure, but when you nail it,

784
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: it feels like you missed nothing.

785
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 4: So nice.

786
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 3: See old people are stuck in their ways, but I

787
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: think it's being stuck in your way about cable. Sometimes

788
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: it pays off. It sucks flipping around apps. It's not

789
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: fun flipping around apps. It is a lot more fun

790
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: flipping around channels. It's so much faster in a day

791
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: and age where we want everything fast. I don't want

792
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: to have to wait ten seconds to pop out of

793
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: this app and then popping this app. I want to

794
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 3: be like Steve O jumping back. Yeah the game's on. Yeah,

795
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: when you're sick and you know your sports, you could

796
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: fly fly right back when the broadcast is back and

797
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: you can watch Okay, see Clippers with your son. That

798
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: ain't nothing like that and okay, see okay see owns

799
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: the Clippers draft picks, So another little bonus. Give him

800
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 3: a loss that helps out. And the Josh Giddy thing

801
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: was cool too, Josh Giddy a near triple double and

802
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: he missed on points, which is strange. Eight points, tennis sists,

803
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: eighteen rebounds, wow, sick for a six eight man. And

804
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 3: he would have been the youngest player ever to get

805
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 3: a triple double if he got there, if he just

806
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: scored one more bucket. Our own Andrew Schlecht of The

807
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 3: Athletic told Giddy that after the game in the press conference,

808
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: he said did you know, or he asked him, did

809
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: you know that you were near a triple double? And

810
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: Joshka said yeah. He said, yeah, I was close. I

811
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: knew I was a bucket away. And then Schleck told him,

812
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 3: you have sixty more days before you you won't be

813
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: the youngest player ever to get a triple double. So

814
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: he was real close. Do you remember who is the

815
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: youngest to have a triple double? It's recent, don No,

816
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: but you know, in that same realm of era, it's

817
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: more even more recent than that last year.

818
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: Jummern No, no, Anthony, You'll be kicking yourself.

819
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: LaMelo ball.

820
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: Call.

821
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

822
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: There were some great quotes from the Thunder after this game,

823
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: which you can find all on Andrew Schleck's Twitter account,

824
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: because Shay also said that if he would have known

825
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: Giddy was two points away from the triple double, he

826
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: would have passed it to him for the last shot.

827
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 4: Hire but a good quote.

828
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: Uh. And then also Mark Diagnall not Mark Danio, was

829
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: asked about it, and when he was told, he just said, skittles.

830
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: What's that supposed to be skittles? Is that like the

831
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: nice way of saying, ah, ship, I should have known,

832
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: not skittles?

833
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 2: Did he not get to think? I thought I saw

834
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: there was maybe a clarification of what was going on

835
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: because I saw Broccolian skittles going around. Did anybody read that?

836
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, give us It wasn't going in depth, but I

837
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: did see broccoli and skittles. Yeah, I thought first I

838
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: thought skittles was the new onions testicles, but yeah, but yes,

839
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 3: then it got into vegetables and I was done.

840
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, help us out, guys, somebody was talking about

841
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: broccoli and skittles, and then figure it out. Also, I

842
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: want to give a winner of the weekend to the

843
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns, specifically Devin Booker who returned, you know, like

844
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: DeRozan coming back now now he was coout. Devin Booker

845
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: was coming back from a left hamstring strain. He missed

846
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 2: seven games. When he came back, they crushed the Hornets

847
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: one thirty seven to one oh six. He scored sixteen points,

848
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: hit four to threes. In his return. He only had

849
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: to play like twenty five minutes because the Suns, like

850
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: I said, destroyed them. They were up thirty six at

851
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 2: one point. SunShot fifty seven percent from the field and

852
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: forty nine percent from three as a team to beat Charlotte.

853
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: They're twenty four and five on the season. They're half

854
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: the game ahead of the Warriors for the best record

855
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: in the league. This is not being talked about enough

856
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: at all because the Sons are just going about their business.

857
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: They went five and two without Booker too. I mean

858
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 2: this their their best player. Obviously, they're go to guy

859
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: in the clutch. I know they got Chris Paul too.

860
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: That's the They're pretty fortunate that they have two of them.

861
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 2: But that's pretty damn good record without a deep booking there,

862
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: so they're looking good. Winner a weekend to them. And

863
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: then finally little history. First Portuguese NBA player ever, King

864
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: center namash Kaita. I think I'm saying that correctly made

865
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: history Friday night when he became the first Portuguese born

866
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: player to log minutes in an NBA game. Only got

867
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: eight minutes Leeley, but five boards an assistant. He had

868
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: pretty nice block there too, So sort of wild that,

869
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't you know, you see that headline, You're like,

870
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened before yet, we haven't had a Portuguese

871
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 2: born player. But there you go.

872
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, congratulations, we get some more Portuguese players in the league.

873
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: Why not.

874
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 6: It's a global game right now. We need more representation

875
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: from some other those other great sporting countries.

876
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 2: So there's who we have for winners of the weekend.

877
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: Sporting countries. Let's hear from you in the stream team

878
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: and YouTube comments and tweet at us at no dunk saink,

879
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 2: who would you have for your winners of the NBA weekend.

880
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: We'll take our first break when we come back to

881
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: loser time back with no dunks here on a Monday,

882
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: just did our winners of the NBA weekend. We'll get

883
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: to our losers. But first we were trying to figure

884
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: out what the hell is Mark talking about here with

885
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 2: broccoli and skittles and all this stuff. Well, filthy cards,

886
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: says broccoli, means doing the things that aren't flashy, defense,

887
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: making multiple passes, et cetera. Skittles is one of Mark's

888
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: coach marks here of okay, see cute ways to not cuss.

889
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: So I think somebody said that. But also is your

890
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 2: treat for eating your bruccoli? There goes all ties together. Yeah,

891
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: I don't I don't mind. It sounds like something Lee

892
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: would say, to be honest, Like the broccoli part. It's like,

893
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: because you give out, you know, carrots on Halloween.

894
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, bruccoli is the power house vegetables, so you want

895
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 6: broccoli for sure.

896
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: It's the broccoli of the NBA this season so far, it.

897
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 6: Would be the broccoli. I mean it's probably your Kitchi's

898
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 6: doing everything you know.

899
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: No, he's he's flashy though, Okay, just like the best

900
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: by the way, broccoli can be flashy.

901
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 5: I just respect the flash can be flashy.

902
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: It can be.

903
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 6: It can be because it's green. For one, it's got

904
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 6: the little florets on top. I mean, it's just got

905
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 6: a reputation for being a really good guy. But it's

906
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 6: got some style in there as well.

907
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: About that, it's a really good guy.

908
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: It's Caruso is the broccoli leader in the NBA right now.

909
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 2: That's okay, people aren't I mean, people are saying Bracoli

910
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: has bad Maybe yeah, I.

911
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: Think it's it's just like it's so reliable.

912
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 3: And get out of here.

913
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: Get out of here.

914
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 6: It does not knee cheese. You can stand alone, man,

915
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 6: stand alone. You can have it raw, You're gonna have

916
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 6: it steamed, you can have it roasted. You're gonna have

917
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 6: it fried if you want. I don't recommend the frying part.

918
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 6: But broccoli will always deliver the goods no matter what

919
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 6: conditions it's placed under.

920
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: Broccoli. It's a hell of a man, an actual human

921
00:42:59,239 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: good guy.

922
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: Here guy gets along with the other vegetables on your plane.

923
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: Ah okay, well keep it going on fire. Here are

924
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: losers of the NBA.

925
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 5: Week you're looking at it.

926
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 6: I am a big fat loser for this weekend because

927
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 6: last week I said the Utah Jazz after they had

928
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 6: won eighth straight, I said, you know what, They're gonna

929
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 6: go and break the Phoenix Sun's record for this season

930
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 6: of eighteen wins in a row. They're gonna get to nineteen,

931
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 6: maybe twenty. Because they had a pretty nice home schedule

932
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 6: coming up here. They had the Spurs and the Wizards.

933
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 6: I thought, Yep, no worries. Then they've got the Hornets,

934
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 6: the Timberwolves and the Mavericks and I'm like, yeah, okay,

935
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 6: that's how they can string them together. Well, it fell

936
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 6: over at the first hurdle. They lost that home to

937
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 6: the San Antonio Spurs, and then the Wizards came into

938
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 6: town and also beat the Jazz. Now it doesn't really

939
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 6: matter the second one as much because once you've once

940
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 6: the streak's been broken, then you can't repair it. But

941
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 6: they lose to the San Antonio Spurs, a team that

942
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 6: has been playing better basketball recently, certainly have the last

943
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 6: couple of weeks here.

944
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 5: But the Jazz lose it. It was a close game.

945
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 6: Late Donovan Mitchell had chance, missed it, and then he

946
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 6: blamed the basketball or he didn't didn't blame the basketball gods,

947
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 6: but he said, listen, if you don't play defense and

948
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 6: you don't deserve for that last shot to go in,

949
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 6: So he.

950
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 5: Sort of accepted it.

951
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 6: Maybe the Jazz themselves looked around and thought, yeah, we

952
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 6: probably are going to rattle off nineteen or twenty in

953
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 6: a row here, and that's what happens when you don't

954
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 6: you know, when you look too far ahead, you don't

955
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 6: look at what's right in front of you, And I

956
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 6: think that's what the Jazz did. So I'll take the

957
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 6: l I'll take it. It's fine, but one of those ones.

958
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 6: I had a few people on Twitter bring that up

959
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 6: and mention it to me, so it's all good fun.

960
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 6: Sometimes we make predictions that we get them right, and

961
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 6: sometimes they blow up in our face immediately and don't

962
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 6: even get Like if it had gotten to sixteen, you know,

963
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, you know, I was there, but it

964
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 6: was a big gamble.

965
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 5: But when you don't even get after the.

966
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 6: Next game, ah's that's that's one of those ones you

967
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 6: wish you could reel back in, but you can't.

968
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 5: You live with the ls and that's the way it goes.

969
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 5: So thanks luck Jazz.

970
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: The ending of the Sprus Jaz. This game is awesome too.

971
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: That's another great finish over the weekend. Seek out that

972
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: clip on YouTube for sure, the final minute or so,

973
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 2: big shots being made holy crap from from the Spurs

974
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 2: and I think it was Lonnie Walker right who just

975
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 2: like hung in the air to avoid getting a ship

976
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: blocked by go Beart and I got it dropped and

977
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: Derek Away had jumper before that. John Day Murray was great.

978
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: That that was a that was a big win. Peartle

979
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: had a big bust offense, rebound and basket there too,

980
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: so good win. But yeah, streak over just like that.

981
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 6: A kiss a death, Yeah, kiss a death. Yeah, well

982
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 6: you know this Phoenix Sons can thank me. I guess

983
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 6: their records spin the spin.

984
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm terrified to see what happens to broccoli later tonight.

985
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 5: Ool broccoli.

986
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: This is like I stopped making it sure going to

987
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: dry up.

988
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 4: I watch this one lay on Friday.

989
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: But was it a case of too many skittles and

990
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: not enough broccoli for the Jazz?

991
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 4: I mean they gave them one hundred and twenty eight points.

992
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 4: That's a lot for a jazz.

993
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 2: Teams were in their bag.

994
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 4: It was full of Antonio Skittles.

995
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: They played really well, And he's right, they've they've played,

996
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, for their record, they're much better than the

997
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 2: record totally.

998
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: They've been because we've been on a nice streak lately,

999
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: playing well at least.

1000
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that other game on Saturday night, Denny Avdia

1001
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 3: the Washington Wizards, that guy's been eating his broccoli. The

1002
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 3: guy plays defense. You wouldn't think of him as a

1003
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: defensive player, but he is solid defensively. He locked up

1004
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell at the end of this game when Mitchell

1005
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 3: was trying to bring the Jazz back, and then after

1006
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: Avdia locked him up, he gives the X to his

1007
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 3: own bench, the X with his arms, crossing his arms

1008
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 3: because that's the single for him putting the clamps on

1009
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: another guy. That's that's what he does. He's good at it.

1010
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 3: He's been eating that broccoli. Man. Although the Wizards are

1011
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: coming back to Earth, Denny is making his way, you know,

1012
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 3: into lineups, and he should be. If he's playing like that,

1013
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: he's locking guys up, he'll be playing like that. But

1014
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 3: the Jazz, yeah, two straight losses. We got him in

1015
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 3: the pick and pay off a little bit later. They've

1016
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 3: got a monstrous line at home to the Hornets, who

1017
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: are also struggling. So we'll see, we'll see where we

1018
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 3: lie on that one. See if the Jazz are going

1019
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 3: to start a twenty five game win streak.

1020
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: Ten okay, okay, well, task, who do you have for

1021
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 2: a loser of the NBA Weekend?

1022
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,720
Speaker 3: Well, the Lakers because Anthony Davis is out at least

1023
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 3: four weeks with a sprain knee, and now it's at

1024
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 3: least four weeks because he'll be reevaluated after that. Last

1025
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 3: year he missed two months, if you remember, and why

1026
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: it happened and how it happened was painful for the

1027
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 3: Lakers because Lebron pushed off the Timberwolves Jane McDaniels. Jane

1028
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 3: McDaniels sold it a little bit and went falling back

1029
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: into the legs of Anthony Davis. So if the Lakers

1030
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: get bounced in the playoffs, you're going to see this

1031
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 3: clip replayed as if it was the Lakers season, Lebron

1032
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: pushing Jane McDaniels into what happened to be Anthony Davis's

1033
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: final injury. He left the game earlier in the game

1034
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: with an ankle injury, came back, tried to fight it.

1035
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 3: But it kind of feels like a repeat of last

1036
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 3: year where Davis went out. It was game twenty eight

1037
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 3: last year he missed two months, and this is game

1038
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 3: thirty this year where he's gonna miss at least a month.

1039
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 3: But the team started way better last year, if we remember,

1040
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 3: they're twenty one and seven and this year they're seventh

1041
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 3: in the West at sixteen and fifteen now after that

1042
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 3: loss to the Bulls, So what the heck are the

1043
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: Lakers gonna do with their big man rotation. I assume

1044
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: Dwight Howard is the starter when he gets back from

1045
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 3: the health and safety protocols because the DeAndre Jordan experiment

1046
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 3: it's not pretty, and the lineups are gonna have Lebron

1047
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: at the five is as it was when he started

1048
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: the second half yesterday against the Bulls because they didn't

1049
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 3: like the DeAndre Jordan experiment. So Braun at the five

1050
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 3: and he and it was good, but at the same time,

1051
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 3: he's got to wear down. I'm playing defense and leading

1052
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: this team offensively, and I know it looks like they're

1053
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: horrendous defensively this year when you watch them, but they're

1054
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 3: way worse offensively and the defense they're actually eighth now,

1055
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 3: so that's where they can drop off big time without

1056
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. So I just think this team is probably

1057
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 3: going to play five hundred ball the next month without

1058
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis like they did last year when he was

1059
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: out and Lebron was healthy, and then eventually Lebron went

1060
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: down too. So I don't see them having home court

1061
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 3: advantage for the playoffs. Where they're at right now at seventh,

1062
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 3: you know, they haven't played well at all, and it

1063
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: looks like they're going to start on the road for

1064
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 3: the playoffs like they did last season. So how difficult

1065
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 3: is it going to be for them to get to

1066
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 3: an NBA finals now? Anthony Davis is saying all the

1067
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 3: good things are Bill ram at the Athletic I talked

1068
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 3: to Anthony Davis after the injury, and Anthony Davis said,

1069
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: you know, my wife kind of put things in perspective.

1070
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 3: Marlin is her name, and she said that this is

1071
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 3: a time for me to get right, to bring it

1072
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: all together, and you know, he kind of needs that

1073
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: every year. It seems like, you know, when they won

1074
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 3: the championship, he had four months off because of the

1075
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 3: COVID protocols or not the COVID protocols, because of the pandemic,

1076
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 3: and he found his way. And maybe the time off

1077
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 3: helps because he does seem to miss time a lot,

1078
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 3: but he definitely needs the time off. But I just

1079
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 3: wonder how this team stays afloat without him, because, you know,

1080
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: as much ridicule as he's gotten, the numbers are still good.

1081
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 3: The defense is still decent, and they are going to

1082
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 3: miss him a lot because this top heavy team, it

1083
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 3: just can't survive. It can't it can't be, it can't

1084
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 3: be really good. Lebron will try and get them there.

1085
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 3: They almost won that game. They're good enough to win games,

1086
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 3: but it's going to be a lot on Lebron's shoulders

1087
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 3: because they don't have the depth.

1088
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that their energy was good right tray

1089
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 2: against your Bulls there, I mean the second half. Yeah, Yeah,

1090
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 2: they're playing and that's been a big issue for them

1091
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 2: a lot of this season, like they look checked out

1092
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: or they're not really given it. They're all can't say

1093
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 2: that about that that lost to the Bulls. But yeah,

1094
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 2: how concerned are you with eighty out for a while

1095
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: and having to probably go small and obviously being the

1096
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 2: oldest team in the league by a good margin here,

1097
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 2: even when you're adding a guy like it he's old too. Yeah,

1098
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 2: can they will they still be a five hundred squad

1099
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 2: the time maybe he gets back, or could it get worse?

1100
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: For really, I think there's an opportunity for them to

1101
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: be a five hundred squad, which is probably good enough.

1102
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 4: In the meantime, Lebron.

1103
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: Was awesome to watch as their small ball five in

1104
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: the second half yesterday with the post ups and rolling

1105
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: to the lane. Like we talk about, if you're a

1106
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: big guy and you're the role man, you have to

1107
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: be able to make plays out of the short roll.

1108
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: And if you got Lebron on a short roll, that

1109
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: guy can make some plays. We saw him drawing massive

1110
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: double teams from the bowls last night, getting wide open

1111
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: threes for Mellow there in the fourth quarter. So yeah,

1112
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a huge responsibility for Lebron. He's been

1113
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: playing really well in the past couple of weeks, but

1114
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: for the first half of last night's game, he has

1115
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 1: to kind of chill right, Like he has to save

1116
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: himself for the second half of these games because he's

1117
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: playing a massive amount of minutes. I think he's at

1118
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: the most minutes per game in five seasons for Lebron,

1119
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: So he's definitely pacing himself, which means that then the

1120
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: Lakers are playing from behind, which means that the second

1121
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: half minutes are probably even heavier than they were in

1122
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: the first half. But Trevor Reza is back. That's a

1123
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: body which helps. Isaiah Thomas has probably looked a little

1124
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: bit better than the Lakers. We're expecting. Hit a couple

1125
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: of floaters last night and at least gives them some

1126
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: play making outside, and nobody's really running away in the

1127
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: middle of the Western Conference. The Grizzlies have played incredibly

1128
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: well without John Morant. They've got up to fourth, but

1129
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers are in fifth right now, and

1130
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: they're a game over five hundred. So if the Lakers

1131
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: are able to stay at a round five hundred with

1132
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: Lebron playing really well and then they get eighty back,

1133
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: if he's able to actually string together a couple of

1134
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: months of healthy basketball in the second half of the season,

1135
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: they could make a run towards a fourth or a

1136
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: third seed, perhaps once we get to the second half,

1137
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: But that means a lot on Lebron's shoulders for January

1138
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: and February.

1139
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, to break the tears down here in the

1140
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 2: Western Conference, you've got the Suns and the Warriors sort

1141
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 2: of in that top tier terms of their records. Then

1142
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 2: it's the Jazz and it's the Grizzlies right behind them

1143
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: in the four seed. Like Trey said, Clippers sixteen and fourteen,

1144
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 2: Nugget's still there fifteen and fourteen, Lakers sixteen and fifteen,

1145
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 2: and then the Wolves in the eighth spot at five hundred,

1146
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: and then it goes Dallas and Kings and Cortland and

1147
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, even even the Spurs, Rockets and Pelicans aren't

1148
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 2: all that far behind like a play impossible tournament. So yeah,

1149
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 2: it's it. It's crowded. So every one of these games

1150
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: is going to matter in theory in terms of your

1151
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 2: seating and how low, like you were saying, tasks, how

1152
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: low can the Lakers be in a seating and try

1153
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 2: and win a title here when you have a healthy

1154
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 2: Lebron and Ad and Westbrook and the rest of their squad.

1155
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: And as for like moves to be made, like what

1156
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: are they you know, I saw the stream team pointing

1157
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: out they can really only trade tailor Horton Tucker, like

1158
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 2: that's really the only like tradeable contract unless like you're

1159
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 2: somehow getting something for Westbrook and you're like, okay, well

1160
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 2: we're moving off that because it's not Lebron's not a

1161
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 2: d and then it's all their other contracts are like

1162
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 2: nothing tasks, Like there's no there's no one of those

1163
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: like middle contracts to really trade. So that'll be difficult too.

1164
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 2: This could be their squad.

1165
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 3: It will be tough. This is where Rob Palinka earns

1166
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 3: the Bucks. Yeah, Isaiah Thomas was the a little bit

1167
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 3: of patchwork here and he came in and he's starting

1168
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: for the Los Angeles Lakers. Because so many guys are

1169
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 3: are out with health and safe protocols or injury. They

1170
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 3: haven't had Kendrick Nunn, who would be playing a lot

1171
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 3: for this team. But a big is where they could

1172
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 3: really need help or could really be helped. And I

1173
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 3: guess that happens in January February March in the NBA,

1174
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 3: where a guy's released something like that. I mean, Daniel

1175
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 3: House is available now. The Rockets just released him. He

1176
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: could be a Laker. He could be a wing guy

1177
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 3: shooting threes. But yeah, Lebron's gonna have to play five,

1178
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 3: or Melo is gonna have to play five. But it's

1179
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 3: just obviously Lebron can play whatever position he wants for

1180
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 3: a string of possessions. But it's just gonna be hard

1181
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 3: on the Bot. He will get old at some point,

1182
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 3: and you know he got injured last year. They went

1183
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: into the playoffs with him and ad not right in

1184
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 3: the seventh seed and it fell apart and it just

1185
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 3: it started really well last year though, I mean they

1186
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 3: were so it felt like they could get back to

1187
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 3: that level. Uh, this year has not been like that

1188
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 3: at all.

1189
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 2: All Right, the final one here a loser of the weekend.

1190
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna give it to Frank Gore, who became a

1191
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: bit of a meme this weekend. Now, we couldn't give

1192
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 2: d will Darren Williams a winner of the weekend because

1193
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 2: they they know boxing match ly, Yeah, Darren Williams versus

1194
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: Frank Gore was on the undercard of some other fight.

1195
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 4: What to look for, dude wipes.

1196
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here it is Dearren Williams punching Frank Gore

1197
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 2: punching me. So this one went the distance, which was

1198
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: four rounds, but in the end Darren Williams got the

1199
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 2: h the judge's victory, uh, split decision victory thirty eight

1200
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty seven, thirty eight and then forty to

1201
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 2: thirty five.

1202
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 3: How does that happen?

1203
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: What do you mean? How does how.

1204
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 3: Does boxing work? There's three judges. One judge rate Frank

1205
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 3: thirty eight thirty seven, yeah, the other one thirty eight

1206
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 3: thirty seven for Darren and then the other the other

1207
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: judge comes out of nowhere with a forty. Yeah, not

1208
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 3: going to be that different.

1209
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 6: They need to go to Olympic boxing scoring because that's

1210
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 6: like when you make a connection that gives you a point.

1211
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 6: You know, in boxing of this caliber, it's more subjective,

1212
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 6: and I think it's like that he had a better round.

1213
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 5: I'm just going to give him the points.

1214
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 6: And that's why they have an uneven amount of judges

1215
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 6: so that you try not to get those like, you know,

1216
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 6: strict decisions.

1217
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, how, here's how you should decide these type of fights.

1218
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: He's celebrity fighting. Who memed the other guy? Did you

1219
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,839
Speaker 2: make him? That's it? Go to the mean artist? Yeah,

1220
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 2: so yeah, I guess Darren William Williams, excuse me, he

1221
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: entered with like a massive advantage in height and reach,

1222
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: uh and and more experience at least when it came

1223
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 2: to like sort of training in boxing gyms and he

1224
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,760
Speaker 2: was using that jab there task gyms. Oh my goodness.

1225
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 3: Uh.

1226
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 2: My favorite part of all of this is that do

1227
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 2: will after the fight, after the victory, says he's done

1228
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 2: as a boxer. Quote, I'm gonna go sit my old

1229
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 2: dumb ass down somewhere and let the professionals do this shit. Honestly,

1230
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 2: I probably looked terrible out there. As soon as you

1231
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: come out here and start getting touched, all your training

1232
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 2: goes out the window. That's a great quote. It's gotta

1233
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: be the way it is, like you put all this

1234
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 2: work in and then suddenly you get punched in the face,

1235
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 2: and out the window it goes. But yeah, obviously the

1236
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 2: Paul brother not Paul Brothers, but the Paul brother got

1237
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 2: the victory again. Over who do you find Tyron Wood Tyrone?

1238
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 2: Excuse me? So all I care about from that is, uh, hey,

1239
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: Paul Brothers again, not Paul Brothers, the too Paul guys.

1240
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: Stop ducking Kendall Gill. Yeah, let him get the ring.

1241
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: Kendall Gill will get knocked out by Jake Paul.

1242
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 2: Wow you think so?

1243
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jake Paul is good at boxing, man. I don't

1244
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 4: know why.

1245
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about boxing, but he knocks out

1246
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: legit athletes.

1247
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 3: So everybody kens over.

1248
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: Fifty like Kendell Gill's getting knocked out by Jake Paul guaranteed.

1249
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: No way, I say no. I mean, he's old man,

1250
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 2: he's fifty three years old, but he actually boxes the Woodley.

1251
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't box, is what they're saying. Yeah, he just

1252
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 2: fights for a living. Yeah, but Kennell Gill is a boxer.

1253
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: No, he's not. Man. He's a commentator for the Bulls,

1254
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: but he boxes occasionally.

1255
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: Team Kendall Gill on this one. My god, isn't he

1256
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 2: an Illinois boy?

1257
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1258
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: He's an Illinois boy that we get. Fortunately, I'm just

1259
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: being honest here.

1260
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 2: No, he'll take it.

1261
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 5: You should box him while you're there.

1262
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: Kendall Gill is getting back in the ring though pretty soon.

1263
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: He's probably training up to fight against Jake Paul while

1264
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: he'll get knocked up.

1265
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, well I can't wait for that. Well's

1266
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 2: put some money on that. I'll put some money on

1267
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: Kendall Gill. I mean, I'm a little worried he couldn't

1268
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 2: beat Leellis in a three point contest. I think he's

1269
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: better in the two chances than he couldn't. Oh my goodness.

1270
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 2: All right, we got to take a one more break

1271
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: when we come back. We got tweeted the night got

1272
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 2: fun question for you guys and everybody on the stream team.

1273
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 2: You'll have to weigh in on this tweet The night

1274
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to pick the results and tonight's

1275
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: pick don't go anywhere. Let's get to tweet of the night.

1276
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: Tweet over night. Wow.

1277
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 2: Okay, this tweet is from I Believe Friday Night. I

1278
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 2: am Caleb Wilson tweeted to a lot of us if

1279
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 2: I were to hypothetically get a No Dunks themed tattoo,

1280
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,919
Speaker 2: what would you guys recommend? This obviously caught my eye.

1281
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 2: Fun little question here. We actually have some starters slash

1282
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: no Dunks tattoos out there. Ley In fact, your your

1283
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: your face is on two people, isn't that correct?

1284
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 6: Yes, that is correct. I have Old eight Toes has

1285
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 6: the old VSP logo, and then our friends from Cleveland

1286
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 6: who have been to a couple of live shows. One

1287
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 6: of them has a tattoo with my face on the leg.

1288
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 2: So it's really weird.

1289
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 5: There's some weird stuff out there in the world.

1290
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 2: So if Kilob was thinking of getting a no Dunk statue,

1291
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: you know he's leaning into this this era of the show,

1292
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: what would you suggest? Anything come to me?

1293
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 6: Well, I mean the weggie is the sort of obvious thing.

1294
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 6: I think that's the most sort of no dunxy you know, Well,

1295
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 6: known part of our show. So some sort of like

1296
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 6: backboard with the ball wedged in and would have to

1297
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 6: say Weggy over it so people would understand. I think,

1298
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 6: I mean you could do that and then just have

1299
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 6: a little no Dunk's logo at the bottom. I think

1300
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 6: that's that's.

1301
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 5: Probably the one that's going to get that.

1302
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 2: You just put my name, you can put his name.

1303
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean like like this one to me sort

1304
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 6: of that that's the low hanging fruit. It's got to

1305
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 6: be the Weggie because that's our that's our sort of

1306
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 6: you know connection really to everybody in the stream, team

1307
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 6: fans who have been around for a long time, you know,

1308
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 6: broadcasters talk about it.

1309
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 5: So that's where I'm going. Just the Weggie.

1310
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, not over thinking it.

1311
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 3: It would be nice. It would be nice to get

1312
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 3: a green depiction of a Wedgie because we've tried it before.

1313
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 3: We've had it on a shirt. We've had someone else

1314
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 3: make a shirt and it ends up being a ball

1315
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: wedged in the backboard between a rim and the back whard.

1316
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 3: We got to get better, we got to get bad.

1317
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 2: It is like that shirt. That's a good shirt.

1318
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 3: It is a good it's very soft, it's multi use,

1319
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 3: great for sleeping, great for working out. You can do

1320
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 3: it all in that shirt. However, However, I don't. I

1321
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 3: think I think I think you can. Yeah, it's it's

1322
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 3: gone through the cycle. In my house. I used to

1323
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 3: wear it, but now it's a Now it's a workout shirt,

1324
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 3: and it's great, really hugs the butt. But I think

1325
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 3: a tattoo could be a little bit better. Like I

1326
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 3: would say, why not have a wedgie between two butt

1327
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 3: cheeks and then no dunks on the actual underwear vertically

1328
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 3: like written in the underwear or skeets getting the wedgie

1329
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 3: from Shaquille O'Neal, I mean, they'll just draw that.

1330
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 2: You have the real artist to do that.

1331
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you need that, but that's like, that's i mean

1332
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 3: his art. When with when Chack did that to skeets

1333
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 3: on our old set on the starters, I mean that

1334
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 3: was amazing. It was ripped, uh and that was so

1335
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: that could be a cool photo. But yeah, I mean

1336
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm with Lee that if you want the most people

1337
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 3: to see that thing and say, hey, I know those dudes,

1338
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 3: you gotta go wedge. But there's probably some other good

1339
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: ones out there.

1340
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: Oh, Trey, what do you have?

1341
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: How about on your thumbs, on the part of your

1342
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: thumbs that would be facing outwards, a VSP.

1343
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 4: On both of them.

1344
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Throw off that too, vsps. That'd be pretty baller or

1345
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: like almost like a sleeve tattoo at the top says

1346
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the basketball Jones with an X through it, then the start,

1347
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: then the free agents with the next through it, then

1348
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: a huge no Dunk's logo.

1349
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 4: Up your whole arm.

1350
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1351
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: I think we thought about doing T shirts like that

1352
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 2: on Maybe we still could. Uh, that's good, okay, JD.

1353
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're listening to this conversation, I

1354
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 2: think coming.

1355
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 8: About barely as usual, but uh, you know, if you

1356
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 8: want to be ahead of the curve, we already have

1357
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 8: a T shirt, the Classic Factory T shirt. But if

1358
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 8: you really want to be ahead of the curve, I

1359
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 8: think you should. I'll go full screen for this.

1360
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 7: Yeah you want to go uh, I want to go that.

1361
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: Oh look at this tease for the stream team.

01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 8: So yeah, there's that, and there's also for the real

01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 8: super sickos. I would go, uh again in.

Speaker 8: as in Jen Brady like, oh like Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

1368
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,680

1369
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 8: that a Midwestern accent? Jen, Jan the Pelican, Jan the Pelican.

1370
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 8: I can't do anyway Like that would be a great

1371
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 8: tattoo on a person, and you know, no one would

1372
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 8: know what it was. That's the great thing. It's just

1373
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 8: it's a conversation starter. It's like where what is that?

1374
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 7: Even? It's so hard to explain it.

1375
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 3: That's not much of a conversation.

1376
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 2: What about like go like Mount Rushmore with sort of

1377

01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 2: all right. Pick the results from a Friday night. Yes,

1415
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 2: it was the Lakers Wolves game. Minnesota was favored by

1416
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 2: one and a half at home. It was brought to

1417
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: you by bet MGM, of course, and they got the victory.

1418
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 2: As we talked about, nice solid win there from Minnesota,

1419
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 2: and I needed it. I'm still in this thing. I'm

1420
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 2: four and nine. In December, Lee also got the victory.

1421
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: He's seven and six. I'm a actually teasing, chasing, excuse me, task,

1422
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 2: who's six and seven? Trace He's clear, he's ten and three,

1423
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 2: so we won't be getting him. But I need this one.

1424
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 2: It would help if I am on the opposite side

1425
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: of tasks. What's our game?

1426
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: Though? You know you are Skeets. The Charlotte Hornets on

1427
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 3: a two game losing streak while on their six game

1428
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 3: road trip here, so this is game number five. They

1429
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 3: go into Utah, who is also on a two game

1430
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 3: losing streak. We talked about it earlier. Gave up a

1431
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 3: couple there to the Spurs and the Wizards this weekend.

1432
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 3: While the Hornets a bad loss against the Blazers, they

1433
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 3: got hammed on Friday night, then they followed it up

1434
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 3: with another loss, so they've lost I think by a combined.

1435
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 4: They are getting.

1436
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 3: They lost by thirty one to the Suns. It ended

1437
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 3: up being only nine to the Blazers, which shouldn't have

1438
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 3: been that close. But here we are. Here we are tonight.

1439
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 3: They're visiting the Utah Jazz and the spread is eleven

1440
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 3: and a half points. The Jazz are favored by eleven

1441
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 3: and a half big ones. So yes, myself and Lee

1442
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 3: believed the Jazz can start that huge long wind streak.

1443
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 3: But Skeets and Tray, I guess you guys can still

1444
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 3: believe that the Jazz win and cover. But you are

1445
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 3: taking the Charlotte Hornets.

1446
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe Lamello Ball is back on.

1447
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 3: The squad, so that should Yeah yesterday, right, I was.

1448
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 2: I didn't think he played last night.

1449
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 3: Yes he did, Okay, I wasn't good though.

1450
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't good. It doesn't bode well for me.

1451
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 2: I actually thought he returned yesterday or returned to excuse

1452
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 2: me tonight, But he did return.

1453
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 1: That's the real broccoli versus Skittles game, Jazz versus Hornets.

1454
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: The Hornets are great at making you eat skittles, so

1455
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that it's a high scoring game and the

1456
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Jazz just don't take it that seriously.

1457
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 4: Pull out the win, but not by that much.

1458
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Be great for skeetzy'd be great for the race.

1459
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 2: Yes, so what I do need this one or I'm

1460
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,400
