00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: That link is in the show notes because I remembered

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: Good memory Man, Good.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: For me, Big winner of the weekend Skeets Memory Monday.

33
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: If you're new to No Dunks here, thanks for joining us.

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: Something we do on Mondays usually at least, is NBA

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: weekend winners and losers. It's our way to recap the

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 3: busy NBA slate. Let's start with the winners. Trey will

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: bounce back and forth and talk them through. Who's your

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: big NBA weekend winner?

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: Big NBA weekend winner gotta be the seventy six ers

40
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: for me. Okay, here's the baseline case. Skeets two and

41
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: oh this weekend, they beat the Raptors, they beat the

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: Trail Blazers. Going in, you're probably thinking they should win

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: those games. Fair enough, Embiid was dominant in both thirty

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 4: four points, nine rebounds, eight assists, a steal and two

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: blocks against the Raptors, then on Sunday flirted with skipping

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: the home opener, resting questionable for rest. This guy might

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: want to take a nap. We're not sure. We'll ask

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: him when he wakes up. Instead, he dropped thirty five points,

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: fifteen rebounds, seven assists, two steals, six blocks, four DX

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: crotch chops on the Blazers. I'm going to give him

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: a near five by five. He didn't get to the

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: three steals, which we would like, you know, going past

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: fifty percent on all five categories, but the four DX

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: crotch chops I think take it to near five by

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: five levels. The Sixers even had James Harden on the

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: bench joking around with PJ. Tucker. But the real reason

57
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: they're getting My ultimate winner of the weekend is because

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: of Tyrese Maxy. This guy is incredible. Thirty one and

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: eight on opening night. Over the weekend, thirty four points

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: seven assists and one turnover versus the Raptors. Then he

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: had an off night against the Blazers, just twenty six points,

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: ten assists, and two turnovers. Through the first week of

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 4: the season, he's averaging thirty six and six, shooting fifty

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: percent from the field fifty six from three to ninety

65
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: one at the line. This could be a flip Murray

66
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: leading the league in scoring for two weeks type beat,

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: But I don't think so. It looks like he's made

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: a leap twenty points per game last season. Thirty is

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: unlikely for the entirety.

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: Of the year.

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: We gowhere in the middle.

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: Exactly twenty five seems realistic to me because nobody can

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: stay in front of ty Resee at MAXI. He's one

74
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: of the five fastest guys in the league. He's been

75
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: getting to the line, and most importantly, the one two

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: with Joel Embiid looks just as nice as it did

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: with James Harden. So take your time, Darryl, is kind

78
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: of what I'm saying here right now. The Sixers look good,

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: the vibes are good. Ain't no reason to rush into

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 4: a deal now if you've already waited out the first

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: week of the season.

82
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: I was just gonna ask you, what do you do

83
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: with Harden? He's now around the team. If he's going

84
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: to participate in five on five drills here maybe this week.

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: We'll wait and see. You never know with Harden. Could

86
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: he return to Philly? And then the question off is

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: is should he return to Philly? And you may be

88
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: mess with what seems to be a great thing with

89
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: MAXI obviously being your lead go to ball handler and

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: the one two he has going with him. Beide like

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: should you even should you even risk that? Like, sure

92
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: you can slow play training him, but should you even

93
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: bring him back?

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 4: In all honesty shout out to Randy Jackson, It's a

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: no for me. Dog, I say keep him out because

96
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 4: they don't play until Thursday. I heard Tim Bontemps on

97
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 4: the Hoop Collective saying it kind of comes down to Thursday.

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: If Harden plays, he's kind of part of the rotation

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: here with the Sixers going forward. But if he sits out,

100
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: or if the Sixers tell him to stay home, that

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 4: he's probably going to be sitting out until they decide

102
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 4: to trade him, which more likely is going to be

103
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: in December when more players are available. But Maxie looks

104
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: so good right now handling the additional responsibility with Harden out.

105
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: We've seen him do it a couple of years back

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: when Ben Simmons was sitting out, and that was his

107
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: second season in the league. Now he's year four, He's

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: learned the craft of the game and the one two

109
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: is just perfect with him. Embiids, So as long as

110
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 4: they're winning, as long as they're playing well, I don't

111
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 4: think there's any reason to bring back hard And.

112
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: There's a bit of trickle down effect too. Tobias Harris

113
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 3: is playing really, really well. Like Nick Nurses tried to

114
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: encourage him to let it fly, maybe a little bit

115
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: more than Doc Rivers did. He was sort of finding

116
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: his spots within River's system there, but Nurse like, hey,

117
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: look you're a great shooter, you're open, let it go.

118
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: So he's playing well. But yeah, Maxy easy front runner

119
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: for most improved, I'd say through the ballpark first week

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: of the season.

121
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Yeah. He fits the bill. It's year four, so

122
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: we're not getting the year two bump, which is great

123
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: even year three, and kind of the style of player

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: who has been winning and pe a lot lately. Is

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: a player who was good who became great and maybe

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: even made their first All Star Game. Yeah, that could

127
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: easily be Maxie.

128
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, just specifically with the Raptors performance Maxie, would you

129
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: say going for thirty four? Like the one thing Maxie

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: always lit up the Raptors and we would always blame

131
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: it on Fred van Vliet. You know he's a good defender, Bud,

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: he just can't hang with the speedy Maxie. Well, now

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: we got Schruder in there, who's arguably one of the

134
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: fastest guys in the league, at least offensively as well.

135
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's still blowing by him like it doesn't matter.

136
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: He is so so damn quick. So Maxie and beating

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: his croutch chops and the Sixers winner of the weekend.

138
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: I'd like to point out you said four dx croutch chops. Yes,

139
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: not at two different times or three different times or

140
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: four different times, all four after one made best four.

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: Straight after one mate. Yeah, and he was like, yeah,

142
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: I had to throw it back to the old meat

143
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: like Bruce on Survivor. I gotta be Bruce here. Chop

144
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: Chop chop chop chop.

145
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: Good stuff. All right, let's keep going because we've got

146
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: a ton to talk about chop up, chop chap.

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: I want one extra next.

148
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: That was funny.

149
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, my winner of the weekend. I'm gonna

150
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: start with Steph Curry's three point flurry on Sunday to

151
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 3: beat the Rockets. Here's how this goes down. Curry pretty

152
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: quiet through most of the game on Sunday. Dare I say,

153
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks in the Rockets doing a pretty good job

154
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: on Steph Curry. Wow, Suddenly the Rockets were in the lead,

155
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: they were hanging with the Warriors. And then Steph Curry said, Okay,

156
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: that's enough. Thanks, thanks for playing guys. He erupted. With

157
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: about five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the

158
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: NBA's all time greatest shooter laced three pointers on four

159
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: consecutive possessions to take a one point Warriors lead to

160
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: eleven in less than two minutes. This was the ultimate

161
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: Curry flurry, and he punctuated that personal twelve oh run

162
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: by clowning Dylan Brooks literally dropped him like three times

163
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: on one possession and just had him like running around

164
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: there like a chicken with his head cut off. And

165
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: then the debate is after he hit that four to

166
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: three and basically ice the game, Curry does the uh

167
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: you know this this post cook celebration if you want

168
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: to call it. That hands to the side of the face,

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: and everybody is debating is he doing a Kevin.

170
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: From Home Alone?

171
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: Is he doing the guy next to a super Hot

172
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: Fire from the meme? Or is he doing the scream painting?

173
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: You have three options, I think all work.

174
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 4: So which one would you.

175
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: Say he's doing TK Kevin from Home Alone, the meme

176
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: guy in the super Hot Fire sort of video, or

177
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: this scream painting.

178
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: I feel like I saw the scream painting as a

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: photoshop most often last night. After this, I think you're right,

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: But I think that's the least likely right away that

181
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 4: Steph Curry was referencing a Norwegian painter from eighty years ago.

182
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: I don't think that was the case for me. When

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: I see this, I instantly think home Alone first. But

184
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: I'm old. Steph Curry is old, but maybe not quite

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: as old. So I'll go with the meme because he

186
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 4: is kind of shocked here. Yeah, and you know he's

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: not putting aftershave on his face. He's got a little

188
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: bit that's.

189
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: Too high, way too high for the metallist.

190
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 3: So you think it's the meme guy.

191
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: Now I think it's munch Oh, I think it's the scream.

192
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we should get a poll going on. Yeah,

193
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: but in ridable performance from him. And also of note

194
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: in this game for the Warriors, Chris Paul coming off

195
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: the bench for the first time. In his nineteen season career,

196
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: he had started over thirteen hundred games, including the playoffs

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: and of course the regular season, and since nineteen seventy

198
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: seventy one, that's the most consecutive starts to begin a

199
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: career prior to coming off the bench for the first time.

200
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: That's by way of ESPN stats and info. And you know,

201
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: it worked. You know, one game Rockets fought hard and

202
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: then Curry took over. But yeah, I guess Chris Paul,

203
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: we'll see if it continues. Sounds like it will, at

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: least for the next game. And he seems on board

205
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: with it and is ready to go. And yeah, it

206
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: was a fun game. I had this one on the

207
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 3: on TV last night and oh yeah, I was like, wow,

208
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Rockets might do this. Oh man, the Warriors are they

209
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: going to struggle on the road again? And Curry said,

210
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: it's okay, I got this one.

211
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are bunch of teams that were not fans

212
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: of Michael Jordan, like the Knicks and the Cavs teams

213
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: that he just showed up and hit big shots against

214
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: time and time again. That is Steph Curry for Rockets fans,

215
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: because this guy has been absolutely torturing them and like

216
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: you're saying, a look this game, they could have gotten home,

217
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 4: they could have gotten the win until Curry decided to

218
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: just put things away. Even Laura was laughing after he

219
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: hit that four to three and did the face. He's like,

220
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: he scored twelve points in two minutes. And then I

221
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: was like thinking about the math. I was like, the

222
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: shot clock is twenty four seconds, it's like every time down.

223
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: It was incredible the way he did that. And then yeah,

224
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: you mentioned Chris Paul coming off the bench a plus

225
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: twenty two. There's a huge run for the Warriors end

226
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 4: of the first quarter into the start of the second

227
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: quarter where they were plus sixteen with Curry sitting. They're

228
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: like never plus when Steph Curry sits. So if Chris

229
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: Paul is able to just have that bench be not negative,

230
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: that is huge for Golden I.

231
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: Think curR said as much like whether Chris Paul starts

232
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: or comes off the bench, mainly's going to be playing

233
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: with that second unit with the idea that, yeah, he's

234
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: out there running the show, taking care of the ball,

235
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: setting guys up, maybe getting some things from the younger

236
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: guys to like weather the storm when Curry's on the bench.

237
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, being a positive when Steph is sitting, that

238
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: is that's huge for the Warriors moving forward. You slipped

239
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: it in there that Rockets fans must must hate this

240
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: Steph Curry. I mean obviously, yes, ripping their heart out.

241
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: It's funny though watching it because there's a ton of

242
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: Warriors fans and attendance too, So every shod he hits,

243
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: there's like a big eruption in the crowd, even on

244
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: the road. But who is who is the top three

245
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: fan bases that would hate Steph Curry? Sounds like the

246
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: Rockets for sure. I would say the Kings, yeah, recent

247
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 3: because he scored fifty or forty in hitting game winners.

248
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: Who's the third team or who else is on the list.

249
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 4: I would be curious how Knicks fans feel because they

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: thought they were getting Steph Curry on Draft night and

251
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 4: then he had his first huge game in Madison Square

252
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 4: Garden to put himself on the map. Didn't he break

253
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: the three point record there? He tried to maybe tied

254
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: it something like that. They don't meet each other enough

255
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 4: fan There hasn't obviously been a Warriors versus Nick's Finals

256
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 4: matchup to really drive it home. So it's probably got

257
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: to be a Western Conference team.

258
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: How about the Minnesota Timberwolves Johnny Flynn? Who I mean,

259
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: every time you see him, that's gotta hurt.

260
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: That's a good point.

261
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, Rubill's one thing, but like then Flynn, Yeah,

262
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: oh Jojoe. Okay, you tell us, let us know who

263
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: else hates him? Okac. People are saying Lakers, Celtics. Yeah,

264
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: there's probably a lot of teams, Blazers, let's keep it

265
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: going here. Who else you got a winner?

266
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 4: The Pelicans as a medium winner of the weekend. They

267
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: beat the Knicks in an ugly one on Saturday, nixt

268
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 4: We're on the second night of a road back to back.

269
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: They played in Atlanta here on Friday, then went to

270
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: New Orleans and it kind of looked like they were

271
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: playing their second game of a back to back. But

272
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: shout out to the Pelicans. They didn't let him off

273
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: the hook fifty two points in the paint for New Orleans.

274
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: They forced nineteen turnovers from the Knicks. Zion and Briany

275
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: Brian Brandon Ingram combined for fifty points together. Kind of

276
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 4: a fair game, but I was really impressed by what

277
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: I saw from rookie Jordan Hawkins went three of six

278
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: from three. New Orleans was just nine of thirty three

279
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: on the night. They are bricky from outside, so if

280
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: he's able to shoot it with Trey Murphy out of

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: the lineup, with Jose Alparado missing time to start the season,

282
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: he's got a chance to at least establish himself in

283
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: their rotation. I think, just because they're gonna need somebody

284
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: who's willing to catch and shoot as soon as he

285
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 4: gets it. He's definitely that guy that'd been playing Matt

286
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: Ryan as well. He had a game winner for the

287
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: Lakers early in the season about this time last year

288
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: and then fell out of the rotation. So he's probably

289
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: a guy that will go away when Trey Murphy returns

290
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: from his injury. But I think Hawkins can stick just

291
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 4: because they need anybody who can shoot around Zion and

292
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 4: around hilarious quote from Zion postgame, he said, when I

293
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 4: was younger, he's talking about his finishing in the lane.

294
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 4: He's only six y six, but obviously you know he's

295
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 4: Billy Zion. Yeah, he said, when I was younger, I

296
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: used to go to the park. I was a lot

297
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: smaller than everybody. So you've got to figure out touch

298
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 4: around the basket. I don't believe it. When was he

299
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: ever a lot smaller than everybody wise? Maybe?

300
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, true.

301
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: I can't imagine. There's a lot of courts Zion's ever

302
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: stepped on where he's not the strongest guy.

303
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy at the park age. Yeah, well, but

304
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: maybe he's playing was like just grown ass man. That

305
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: could be. That could be.

306
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: But man, he's got some touch, no doubt about it.

307
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: You said, you're all back in on Zion and the

308
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: Pels took two games.

309
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: It took one game one. He didn't actually even play

310
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: all that well, but he was. He's scoring again, and

311
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: he's just so explosive, and there's no way to guard

312
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: him really when he has got it going, it's just

313
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: a matter of stand on the court for him.

314
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: Six teams undefeated again through almost one week of basketball

315
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: in the East. It's the Celtics, the Magic and the Pacers,

316
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: and then in the West it's the Nuggets who are

317
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: the only three and oh team, the mass tun and

318
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: then the Pels tun o. But I like you specifically

319
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: pointing out Hawkins there. Yeah, adding some shooting and they're

320
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: they're down guys as well, So good start from the Pels.

321
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: My winner of the weekend Jayalen Duran and the two

322
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: and one Pistons. Oh Yes. On Saturday, Jalen Duran scored

323
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: twenty three points on nine and eleven shooting from the

324
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: field versus your bulls. He added fifteen boards and five assists.

325
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: He became just a second teenager in NBA history to

326
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: record at least twenty points, fifteen boards, and five assists

327
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: in a game, joining of course Lebron James. That is wild.

328
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: So through three games, Duran is averaging eighteen points, an

329
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: NBA high, fifteen boards, four assists, the play baking is nice,

330
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: and two point seven blocks per game on eighty percent shooting.

331
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: He is finishing everything in the paint like lobs, put

332
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: back donks, going through like multiple bodies and just putting

333
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: them in the net. He he's got the It reminds

334
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: me of young Dwight Howard, the way he's built and

335
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: the ups he's got and just how he tacks the rim.

336
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: But what a start from the Detroit Pistons. I mean,

337
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: this is great new coach Monty William's coming in here.

338
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: Obviously some expectations with kaid Back. He's been good twenty

339
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: two and eight for Kate Cunningham, Alec Buroks, Aleck Brooks,

340
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: Ale Berks, He's on fire off the bench. He's hit

341
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: eleven threes, which is wild. Thompson's been a menace defensively.

342
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: Beef stew Is shooting and hitting the three a decent amount.

343
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: He's rebounding as well, ten boards. So yeah, Jalen Duran

344
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: and the Pistons getting a winner of the weekend here,

345
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: great start for them, you know, along with the Magic

346
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: who I said are two and oh it's nice and

347
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: the Pacers really those teams that people like talk themselves

348
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: into like maybe they can do something. I know it's

349
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: super super early, small sample size and all that, but like,

350
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: good start for these teams are like, oh, yeah, they

351
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: have some talent, they play hard, They're gonna catch a

352
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: lot of teams by surprise.

353
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and much different stakes. But do you remember this

354
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: must have been the twenty twelve thirteen season. The Spurs

355
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: came into the playoffs on a ten game winning streak.

356
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: Then they won their first ten games in the playoffs,

357
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: I do, including taking a two zero lead on the Thunder.

358
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: But then the last four games the Thunder looked so

359
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: much more athletic and just younger then the Spurs did.

360
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: They ripped off four straight wins to send the Spurs home.

361
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: That's what it looked like to me. Pistons versus Bulls.

362
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: The Bulls looked quite old against Detroit. Jalen Duran made

363
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: Vooch look ancient. The way Duran was just so much

364
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: faster and so much more explosive getting to the rim

365
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: second night of a back to back for both of

366
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: these teams, and you could tell young legs can handle

367
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: it a little bit better than old legs. And man, yeah,

368
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: so Thompson. You know, Zach Levine had fifty one points

369
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: in this game. He lit it up, but he only

370
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: scored two points in the last eight minutes and Thompson

371
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 4: was all over him from basically half court on. He's

372
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 4: been rebounding like crazy, over ten boards a game. I

373
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: think in each of their games so far, and he

374
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 4: had a six sick pass to Beef stew for a

375
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: dunk underneath the hoop as well. So impressive stuff from Detroit.

376
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: Really good start for the Pistons. Two and one. That's

377
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: a record you haven't seen with Detroit in a while.

378
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 3: It feels like maybe they started one of these seasons

379
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: a little better than I'm remembering. But obviously a team

380
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: that's in bad for a long time, there's some hope there,

381
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: and you just hope. Obviously Caate can stay healthy. And

382
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: like Caden and Jalen Duran, they got nice little one

383
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: to two action. I mean maybe the reps they got

384
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: playing for the select team with two team USA, I

385
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: mean they he just got nice chemistry, these two. So

386
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: sky's the limit for the use movement there? Who else

387
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: you got for a winner?

388
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 4: Luka Doncich has to get a winner of the weekend.

389
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: Hung forty nine on the nets on Friday, and the

390
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: MAVs needed basically all of them, including the one foot

391
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: banked in three from twenty five feet that Luca made

392
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 4: to put the MAVs up twenty six with twenty six

393
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 4: seconds left. Tim Cato's got a great article over at

394
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 4: the Athletic You can subscribe at the athletics dot com

395
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 4: slash no dunks, where basically he asked a bunch of

396
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: people who have been around Luca for his entire career,

397
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: if that's the toughest shot he's ever hit in the game.

398
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 4: Lucas said yes, so, I mean good evidence there to

399
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: begin with.

400
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: I mean when you look at the entire possession, how

401
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: hard they had to get the ball, like he got

402
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: it back and forth like three times.

403
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 4: Yeah. Have Dorian Finney Smith also said that's the toughest

404
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: shot he's ever hit because I was guarding him. In

405
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: respect to that, there were some other candidates. Luca had

406
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 4: a game winning three against the Grizzlies where he's like

407
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 4: leaning off a one foot which is huge. He had

408
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: that tipped in free throw against the Knicks last year.

409
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 4: He's jumping around all happy afterwards. And he also had

410
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 4: a game time three from the corner as a rookie

411
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: against Portland where he catches the ball and like gets

412
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: it off in under a second. That was an amazing

413
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: one as well. But this one that he hut from

414
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: the wing, they were calling it Luca Magic. You cannot disagree.

415
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: Forty nine points nine threes, ten boards, seven assists and

416
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: zero turnovers for Luca in this game. Scored fourteen of

417
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: the MAVs last seventeen over the final five hundred and

418
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: twenty two seconds of the game.

419
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: Oh thank you for breaking down the seconds there.

420
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right, three twenty two left, but two huge

421
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: stat lines so far for Luca, two clutch wins for

422
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: the Mavericks. MAVs, like you said, one of the six

423
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: teams to finish this week unbeaten. I think this is

424
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 4: the year I should have taken Luca for Yeah, exactly,

425
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: I's killing it right now.

426
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: Oh I know that. I mean every three that he

427
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: took down the stretch in that game got more and

428
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 3: more difficult, obviously, ending with the one handed like he

429
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 3: almost like he he almost threw it like a baseball

430
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: to like it's little curve almost like a football, I guess,

431
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: like he spun it out of his one hand where

432
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: he's trapped on the side and the shot clocks winding down,

433
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 3: he banks it in. And I did hear the windhorse

434
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 3: on his podcast talking with both Tim's there the idea

435
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: like did he call glass like they asked? And Jordan

436
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: Finney Smith's like there's no way called glass. He didn't

437
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 3: call glass. Trust me, I'm out there trying to guard him.

438
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: And then Luca postgame said, well I did. I just

439
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 3: said it in Slovenian and so they didn't really understand

440
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: what I was saying, which is pretty funny. But what

441
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: a shot. Final couple winners of the weekend, just some

442
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: honorable mentions. Jokic and the undefeated Nuggets. They're three and ozer,

443
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: like I said, Nate Jones tweeted yesterday, I guess long season,

444
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: but the Nuggets seemed to have the Oh these mofos

445
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: didn't respect our title win mentality to start this season.

446
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like we'll see a defending champ hangover.

447
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: They are all business, that is the truth. And you

448
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: know you bring up Luca's crazy shot, I'm sure you

449
00:20:53,160 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 3: saw Jokic's what seventy foot inbounds allue pass to Aaron

450
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: Gordon who threw it down like what a.

451
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 4: One handed want to catch by Aaron Gordon to go

452
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 4: up and catch a seventy foot pass one handed and dunkit.

453
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: Come on, it was like thrown so so perfect. I mean,

454
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: it was thrown so quickly, so perfectly, like the broadcast

455
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 3: basically missed it. Yeah, now you've seen some angles probably

456
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: on Twitter and stuff like that. Just an unbelievable play

457
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: and they are like, yeah, I mean they're just yo.

458
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: Kitch is just I mean, it is so easy what

459
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: he's doing. It was pretty funny to watch him abuse

460
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: chet holmgun yesterday in that matchup. Everybody's sited both teams

461
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: undefeated and the Nuggets stayed they they killed them.

462
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: There's levels. Yeah, Chatt'll get there eventually. But Jokich went

463
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: twelve for sixteen, then told Jet to get his weight up. Yeah,

464
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: I think he needs to be a little bit fatter,

465
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 4: he said afterwards. He's got diet tips for you to

466
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 4: the two leaders every single day. But man, they look

467
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 4: unstoppable right now. And Michael Porter Junior is twelveth in

468
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 4: the league rebounding eleven point three boards per game. Hasn't

469
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: shot it all that well, uh to start the season,

470
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: but he's good and he's contributing in other ways. Yeah.

471
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 3: And then yeah, Christian Brown slotted in perfectly as their

472
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: six man. Watson blocks absolutely everything. That guy's nuts on

473
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: the down.

474
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 4: Shay Gil just Alexander, Yeah, Shay.

475
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: Had a brute game on Sunday, but yeah, Nuggets deserves

476
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: some mention here. And then Darren Fox thirty seven points

477
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: against the Lakers. In overtime, he had thirty seven and eight.

478
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: He scored eight points in the final six minutes of

479
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: regulation after returning from an ankle injury, which then sort

480
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: of sidelined him. But Malik Monk stepped up. He scored

481
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: eleven of his twenty two points in overtime. Eleven points

482
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 3: in overtime and set up one for Herder as well.

483
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: Big three for the for the Kings to put away

484
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: the Lakers. So a little love that was the late

485
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: game there on Sunday night, which was entertaining.

486
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple more minor winner Zach Lavine mentioned that

487
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: career high fifty one points in that loss to Detroit,

488
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: our first fifty point game of the season, yep, came

489
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 4: alongside zero assists.

490
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: Wow, I really liked that.

491
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: I'm getting bunckets get on my back. Yeah, we lost

492
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 4: by ten, but still thank you for trying. We had

493
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: some big dunks from Alprin she Goon Yes and Jalen

494
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: Johnson make a top ten list at the end of

495
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: the season. I thought they were that good. I think

496
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: It's interesting though, first week of the season we always

497
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 4: see one of the better dunks of the year. I

498
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 4: think it's because people's legs are feeling great and also

499
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: people aren't quite sure what everybody's capable of. Sure early

500
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: in this year, I remember, like Derek Jones Junior had

501
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: one of the best dunks of the year in like

502
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 4: the twenty fifteen season.

503
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, I remember true sick of shit. Yeah.

504
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: Also, NOAs Reed got nas Reed chance. That was cool.

505
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: That's very cool, very cool. Jalen Johnson just to slip

506
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: a little bit more in on him, because we were

507
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 3: tweeting about him. I tweeted about him. You literally, like

508
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 3: three minutes later we're tweeting about him, and Nate Jones

509
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: also is tweeting about him. Everybody is like, well, Jalen Johnson, this,

510
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 3: we're this looks legit here. I mean, he looks incredible

511
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: in transition, both offensively and defensively, like chasing down guys.

512
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 3: He is mad athletic. The shot looks good. I think

513
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: they've worked on the mechanics a little bit. Looks a

514
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: little smoother, at least as confident. So Hawk's picking up

515
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: a big win obviously against the Bucks their first win

516
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 3: of this season.

517
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 4: I think he started right against Milwaukee ed and started

518
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 4: the first couple ye for Atlanta. But if he's going

519
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 4: to be playing, that's well, he definitely should have that

520
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: spot over Bay.

521
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. All right, we gotta take a break and when

522
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: we come back. Losers of the NBA Weekend don't go anywhere,

524

Speaker 3: comment away, as the stream team is here on a

525
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: Monday morning. Podcast listeners leave us a five star rating

526
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: and review, and we would appreciate that the biggest NBA

527
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: weekend loser was very easy to select here this morning.

528
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: It was anyone associated with the Raptors, Bulls No Dunks

529
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: Bowl the No Dunks Toilet Bowl on Friday night, So

530
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: that includes us as Raptors and Bulls fans won an

531
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 3: insane game. I will try my best to break it

532
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: all down. So the Bulls went from leading by nineteen

533
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: points in the second quarter to trailing by eleven in

534
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: the third. There were big swings in this game. It

535
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: was like Rob Deer at the plate. Big swings. That's

536
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: a baseball reference for you. Toronto then went on a

537
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 3: fourteen The two run in the fourth They're up by nineteen.

538
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: Raptors cruise into a victory. No, no, no, Bulls pull.

539
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: Even DeRozan was you know, instrumental in the late push

540
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: near the end of regulation, but he missed three free

541
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: throws in the final like thirteen seconds of regulation, including

542
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: one at the end that would have won the game.

543
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 3: So in overtime, this dumb game goes and Toronto's up

544
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: four thirty seconds to go one oh three ninety nine.

545
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: All right, let's close it out. DeRozan scores on the

546
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: easiest lay up imaginable. Let's just give him that one.

547
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 3: I guess, don't foul him, boys, And then Caruso makes

548
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: a really impressive defensive play, sort of a block steal

549
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 3: on Siakam. They pushed the ball in transition, Zach Lavine.

550
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 3: He's going at the net, defenders collapse on him, and

551
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: this guy who just scored, you know a night later,

552
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: fifty one points with zero assists. He makes a great

553
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: pass to the corner where Caruso was screaming to the corner,

554
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: finds him open, he bangs home, bangs home the open three,

555
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: and the Bulls go on to win this dumb game. Now,

556
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: I will say the Bulls win aided by a pair

557
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: of referee mistakes. According to the NBA's Last two Minute Report,

558
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: which came out the day later, DeRozan should have been

559
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: called for a traveling violation with six seconds remaining in

560
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: the fourth, and that was the one where DeRozan instead

561
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: got a foul on a three pointer, with Bouchet getting

562
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: the foul call. And then the league also determined that

563
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: Siakam should not have been called for an offensive foul

564
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 3: with three seconds left after the Raptors had inbounded the ball,

565
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 3: which set up the whole thing where the Bulls got

566
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: the game to overtime. So you got some help from

567
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: the rafts. But this game is so stupid and again,

568
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: like just wild swings and dumb plays and dumb fouls

569
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 3: and misfree throws and it had it all. So we're

570
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: all losers for having watched this one.

571
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, and all the teams are losers because they were

572
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: both trying to lose this game. How did Demardo Rosen

573
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: take eight free throws in the final twenty seconds when

574
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 4: his team was losing.

575
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense.

576
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of it was ref aided, some of it

577
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 4: was pumped fake. He heated certainly the only guy that

578
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: gets a pass definitely is is Caruso. Thirteen points, thirteen boards,

579
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: had the steal and the three to win the game,

580
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 4: and somehow finished a plus twenty nine in this game.

581
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 4: Well this is an overtime game, an overtime one point game.

582
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 4: He was a plus twenty nine.

583
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 3: Oh boy, I can't wait to see this again in

584
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 3: the play in game, the nine to ten playing game.

585
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, there might not be a mos like final minute

586
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: of a game this entire season.

587
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: I know, you're just left like what are you doing?

588
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: Like I knew the result of the game because we

589
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: jumped on playback on Saturday morning to go over the

590
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: highlights together. Obviously knew what happened, saw the ending, and

591
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: it was like, still watching it again, it's weird where

592
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 3: you're like, look at the score, look at the time,

593
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: Look who is the ball? It's like, how do we

594
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: lose this game? Like this doesn't make any sense except

595
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: it's self inflicted. And yeah, there's some stupid calls. Definitely

596
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: the offensive foul call. They said it was marginal, like

597
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: there was contact but probably not enough to warren an

598
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 3: offense five. But anyway, congrats on the win. Congrets on

599
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: that shitty win a right, who else you got for weekend?

600
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 4: Yeah? Not a great weekend for the Memphis Grizzlies. They

601
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 4: lost on to the Nuggets on Friday, understandable. Yeah, they're

602
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 4: getting a loser because of the loss to the Wizards

603
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: on Sunday. Bit of a weird one. Memphis is very,

604
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 4: very shorthanded right now. But Washington missed their first eight

605
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: shots of this game and still led after the first quarter.

606
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: Then Corey Kisspert poured in fifteen sixteen during the second

607
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 4: quarter and the route was on. Really for Washington watching

608
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 4: this one back, this didn't feel like the Grizzlies that

609
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: were used to from the past couple of seasons. Like

610
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: I mentioned, they're missing quite a few players right now,

611
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 4: but they only forced eleven turnovers, they gave up eleven

612
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: offensive rebounds, and Memphis only took nine free throws. It

613
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 4: looked like the Wizards were going anywhere they wanted to.

614
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: Zero physicality from Memphis, which is surprising to see zero

615
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: resistance on the defensive end. It feels like they need

616
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 4: a big time attitude in Fusion right now. With no job,

617
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: no Steven Adams, and Dylan Brooks leaving Memphis. Those are

618
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: like three of their biggest attitude guys. Now they got

619
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: Marcus smartback. Yeah, he's their point guard. He's there. I

620
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 4: think he's gonna have to take a little bit of

621
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: a leadership role right now and kind of just light

622
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 4: into some guys and say we got a toughen up here.

623
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: It's going to be a slow start to the season

624
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: for Memphis. It looks like their offense is going to

625
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: be a struggle to watch, I do believe, but they

626
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: can at least be better on the defensive end and

627
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: more intense on the defensive end. I think it's going

628
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 4: to have to start with Smart and obviously with Jaron

629
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: Jackson Junior as well, but he's not necessarily like, get

630
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: him riled up, get him fired up, type beat kind

631
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: of guy. So I hope that Marcus Smart really kind

632
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 4: of falls into the role he was with the Celtics

633
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: with Jah Right now, there's a void at top of

634
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies absolutely.

635
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: I mean, even with yeah Tyas Jones just not either

636
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: being there to run that second unit or to step

637
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: into the starting role as we've seen in years prior

638
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: where John Moran was out. But yeah, this is a bad,

639
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: bad start. Offensively, they have been very rough in terms

640
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 3: of scoring. You almost start to worry, like, is this

641
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 3: just gonna be a completely wasted season for the Grizzlies

642
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: and John Moran, I know he'll be coming back, but

643
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: like where will they be when he comes back? And

644
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: how can they catch back up and all that. But

645
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm getting ahead of myself, but ross start.

646
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: Glad you included them. I had to pull up on

647
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 3: our sort of YouTube community page over the weekend before

648
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: they played this game, I had like, what's the most

649
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: surprising oh and two start at the time, it was

650
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies I had on there. The Hawks obviously finally

651
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: won the Rockets and the Blazers, and like, Grizzlies ran

652
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: away with the vote. It was like sixty percent. It's

653
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: like the Hawks a little shocking, But yeah, the grizz

654
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: now oh and three who that's not good. That's not good.

655
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: They got the Mavericks coming up, and then they got

656
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: a three game road trip Jazz and then two games

657
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: back to back in Portland, so you know they'll they'll shctory. Yes, yes,

658
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: either maybe in Utah or definitely in Portland, picking up one,

659
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: if not both of those. But we'll see against the

660
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: mass griz own. I'll also go with an ozen three

661
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 3: team for a loser of the weekend. Portland Trailblazers. Now,

662
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: unlike the Grizzlies, who were expect to be better even

663
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: if they're missing some guys, a lot of people thought

664
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: the Blazers are gonna be bad, but they are still

665
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 3: one of four teams without a win. It's Memphis, Houston,

666
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: Brooklyn and Portland dominating. Not dominating. He's been bad. He

667
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: has been the opposite of dominating. Ayton is averaging eight

668
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: point three points per game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's making

669
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: myself look a little silly. He thought that fresh start

670
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 3: would be great, you know, a lot of no pressure

671
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: up there. Thought he would at least rack up some stats.

672
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: And that's not happening. Foul trouble, not playing a ton.

673
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: Just he's taking twenty shooting a ton. Yeah, he needs

674
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: a playmaker to be setting him up. And obviously we've

675
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: had a slow start for Scoot Henderson. Yes, Malcolm Brogna

676
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 4: is like their best ball handler right now. He's a

677
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 4: good passer, but he's not necessarily a playmaker. And then,

678
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 4: of course Eton has taken a grand total of one

679
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: free throw in three games.

680
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: That's how you're going to be under ten points per game.

681
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: But you're right, I mean the guards are now Scoot

682
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: and Chat and sharp, and yes, those guys are not

683
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: playmakers in the sense of get the big guy the ball.

684
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 3: Scoot Henderson, Yeah, he can't hit a three to save

685
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: his life here to start the season. I think he's

686
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: hid one. He's turning it over a ton. That's to

687
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: be expected, obviously learning the point guard role in the NBA,

688
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: but rough, rough start. And then to top it all off,

689
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: on Friday, the team announced that Anthony Simons is expected

690
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: to miss four to six weeks with a UCL tear

691
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 3: in his right thumb. So whoo again. Nobody thought the

692
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: Blazers were gonna really be a playoff team or anything

693
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 3: like that. But just I mean, this just sucks. Simon's out.

694
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 3: Obviously your star guy in the trade eight nothing and

695
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: your number three pick. Also, really really bad start. He'll

696
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: get it going, like there will be a month or

697
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: two where he pops off, but not good for the Blazers.

698
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely not good for the Blazers. And I mean

699
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: definitely a concerning start for Scoot. Just how overwhelmed his

700
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 4: look because he was kind of pitched as an NBA

701
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 4: ready guy with the jacked frame that he's got. But

702
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: point guard's a hard position to learn, especially if you

703
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 4: don't have anybody else that's a threat, and so far

704
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 4: Ayton has not been a threat. I guess Jeremy grant

705
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: And is scoring the ball okay, but he's just gonna

706
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 4: kind of pick up numbers as the season goes on.

707
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: So I think the Blazers, Oh, the Bull's a top

708
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 4: four protected pick this year, looking pretty safe depending on

709
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: lottery odds, of course.

710
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: And I wonder, you know who is gonna make the

711
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: trade for Robert Williams the third? Could it be the Grizzlies.

712
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: Could be the Grizzlies. Who is gonna try and make

713
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: a trade for Malcolm brogten to like shore up your

714
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: bench and obviously help your team maybe go further in

715
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs and stuff like that. But it's weird they're there.

716
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: It's obviously a little strange even seeing them in uniform

717
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: and thinking they're probably not going to be here for

718
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: the long run. But yeah, they gotta get eight. He's

719
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: gotta get going, he's got to see the ball a

720
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: little bit more. He's got to shoot it, it's on him,

721
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: It's on the team. And then yeah, Scoot's gotta finally

722
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 3: find his three and take care of the ball a

723
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: little bit more.

724
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: Who else you got, Well, it's been a while since

725
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 4: we've had an iconic bad national anthem skeets. Not since

726
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 4: Fergie at the twenty eighteen All Star Game have we

727
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: seen such a transcendent bomb. But luckily the Bucks hired

728
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: Flavor Flame to seeing their anthem on Sunday night, when

729
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: as expected, Oh say yeah, I thought it was like

730
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 4: going insane watching the Hawks broadcast. When they said Flavor

731
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: Flame did the anthem, I was like, Oh, way, don't

732
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 4: make any sense.

733
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: That's exactly how I would expect a Flavor Flavor of

734
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: anthem to go.

735
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 4: For sure, I do like how he's trying to vibrato

736
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 4: the longer notes, and his voice, I would say, is

737
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: better than anticipated. I'm considering Flavor Flav was basically a

738
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 4: hype man. I think it is pretty hilarious. He kept

739
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 4: his hat on for the entire time because I know

740
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 4: the announcement said, if you're able, please stand and remove

741
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 4: your caps from the singing of the national anthem.

742
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: By public enemies. Flavor Flame, Yeah, he's he's like, he's

743
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 3: actually a really talented musician, isn't he like, at least

744
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: on the piano?

745
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: You know that.

746
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: But he did tweet. I don't know if he saw this.

747
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 3: He did tweet because obviously you know, Twitter's going nuts.

748
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is brutal.

749
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: Quote.

750
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: The anthem was a longtime bucket list item that was fun.

751
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: But I can't live my life worried about what people

752
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: might say about me. I won't let that stop me

753
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: from trying new things and doing things I want to do.

754
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: Some people might not like it, but a sure failure

755
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: is if you stop trying. So you know, it's so right,

756
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 3: right way to look at it, but it's not saying

757
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: just decision too, I guess yea, let him do the

758
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: guy to pick.

759
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a winner to me.

760
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, it's not terrible, but it's got to

761
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 4: go on the losers because it's not good.

762
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: I agree with you, it's not good, but it is

763
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 5: way better than I thought it was gonna be. For flavor. Flavor,

764
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's fine, weird, there are parts where it

765
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 5: sounds actually dare I say decent?

766
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then yeah, then it's like oh, then the

767
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 3: I don't know his tone is his voice.

768
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 5: He's a bit pitchy, as they say, but.

769
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

770
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 5: He's he gave it as all And it's not that

771
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 5: it's not as bad as I thought it.

772
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 4: Was going to be.

773
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 5: And it's flavor, flavor, I mean, what do you it's awesome.

774
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: He he committed to it. He committed very easily, like

775
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: sort of bailed and like you see people doing karaoke, yeah,

776
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 3: which is like that's the cardinal sin. If hey, look

777
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: you're bad at karaoke, you have power through So you

778
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 3: did that.

779
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: If I have one note, it's that it's too long.

780
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 5: It's too so, it's so long. Yeah, the tempo just

781
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 5: picking up flavor. That's it.

782
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 3: All right? Oh all right, Well maybe that explains Damian

783
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 3: Lillard's rough night because that's my final loser of the weekend.

784
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: Off of that anthem, uh Lillard and really coming on

785
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 3: the heels of a storybook debut with the Bucks last Thursday,

786
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: Dame on Sunday, rough rough game start to finish there,

787
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: he finished with six points on two to twelve shooting.

788
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: It was just the sixteenth time in Damian Lillard's career

789
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: he scored fewer than ten points. He had nearly as

790
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: many turnovers as misshots in the first half, six to

791
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: seven in those departments. It was wild yesterday watching Shake

792
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: gildas Alexander just not be able to hit a shot

793
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 3: and get nothing going. And then the same with Damian

794
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 3: Lillard later on in the in the Hawks Bucks game

795
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: there so have to give him a little loser of

796
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: the weekend.

797
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's got to be one of the worst games

798
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 4: Lillard has ever played in his career.

799
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 3: I think. So.

800
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 4: The Hawks were doubling in pretty hard. Yeah, doing their

801
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 4: best to say, Lillard, you're not beating us. And you

802
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: can see the effect that no Chris Middleton had on

803
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 4: Milwaukee having somebody else who can catch the ball and

804
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: do anything with it. But yeah, two for twelve for

805
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 4: Lillard isn't score until the third quarter, I believe, Yeah, yeah,

806
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 4: ye zero at half. Yeah so, And I mean the

807
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: other side of it, the Bucks gave up one hundred

808
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 4: and twenty seven points to the Hawks, So yeah, Lillard

809
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: wasn't scoring, but also they were getting torched on the

810
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: other end. There will be times when good guards give

811
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 4: the Bucks problems, and I think we saw that for

812
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: the first time in Game two.

813
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the BA. Excuse me. The Hawks were on fire

814
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: from three, but a lot of them were wide open.

815
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 3: Looks a lot coming in transition. Man, I watched this

816
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: game because this was the seven o'clock here and we're

817
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, so he brook Lopez every time the Hawks

818
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: into three was getting more and more visibly frustrated and

819
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: angrier and like yelling at guys because it felt like

820
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: he's like who is It was the classic like who

821
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: is guarding that guy? Who's man is that? Why is

822
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: Bogdanovitch just you know, splashing threes and no one's near

823
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 3: him or these guys in transition? So yeah, good stuff.

824
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 3: And I'll admit it was one of these games like

825
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: Hawks got up huge. I'm like, okay, well hold on

826
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: to your butts here. They're gonna give this one up.

827
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: This will be fun. I can't wait for them to

828
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 3: lose this because I've seen this story before and you know,

829
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 3: you gotta respect them and all that. But yeah, they

830
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: made they made it a little bit closer in the

831
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: second quarter, and then they ripped off i think another

832
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 3: fourteen to one run in and then it was like

833
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: sort of the blog blowout was never close for Atlanta

834
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 3: to get their first w anyone else Honorable Mention for

835
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 3: a loser of the NBA.

836
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 4: Weekend Raptors, I think a little bit of a loser here.

837
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: I obviously lost to the Bulls. Then they lost the

838
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 4: Nick Nurse revenge game, which unfortunately gave Pat Beverly a

839
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 4: chance to trash talk them, like I said, no dogs.

840
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: I think he tweeted that as he was walking off

841
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 4: the court. That felt like. Also, we got a great

842
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 4: clip of Scottie Barnes being asked what it was like

843
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 4: to see Nick Nurse again. He's like, fine, I guess

844
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 4: he was dressed like grandmama.

845
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was in sad luck on his head. He

846
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: had crazy specs on clashes.

847
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 4: You could tell there was a tension last season between

848
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 4: him and Nick Nurse.

849
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Raptors rough rough start, and and what about maybe

850
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: the Lakers with Lebron flirting with forty minutes there in

851
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 3: Game three again, so much for this limiting his minutes.

852
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, one and two to start the season. We're like, hey,

853
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 4: two and ten ain't gonna happen. It's tough in the

854
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 4: Western Conference. There are no nice off and that's why

855
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 4: it's like Lebron is probably still gonna be racking up

856
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: heavy minutes.

857
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: Yep. Let us know losers of the weekend. Who'd we miss?

858
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: I see someone here in the stream team Roy Austin

859
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: Hillbilly Kobe Reeves getting exposed now the teams have actually

860
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 3: game planned for him, not getting caught by surprise by

861
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 3: an undrafted dude. He's had a row start to the

862
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: season for the Lakers. We talked about him, Yeah, not

863
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 3: being involved too much. Yeah, going at him, it's a

864
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: good one. It's a good one. Lots out there. Let

865
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: us know in the stream team winners and losers of

866

Speaker 3: our first NBA weekend. So great to have basketball on

867
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: all weekend long ago for the sickos. We gotta take

868
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: a break when we come back. I have a tweet

869
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: of the night's story time. So don't go anywhere.

870
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at your clothes, or at

872
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 3: least I did, like I said, im like I hate

873
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 3: half of these clothes.

874
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes turn on your clothes. I know I have

875
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: turned my back you get out of it.

876
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: On so many of my clothes. And they are just

877
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: like they're talking in there together. They're like it's picked me.

878
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: It's so it's over for us.

879
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been twenty years, twenty years since he's put

880
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 5: me on.

881
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one shirt, for sure.

882
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 4: Do you ever have a Do you ever have clothes

883
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 4: that you're like the time's not right for you now,

884
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna put you in a box and revisit

885
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 4: in a few years.

886
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 3: That that is that's so unlikely though, That's unlike once

887
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 3: a shirt goes in a box and then goes in

888
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: another room or somewhere like I mean like outside of

889
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: like a costume thing.

890
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, costumes are gotta keep them. You never know.

891
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 3: I have put I will say I have put all

892
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: of our basketball Jones, starters and no dunks, merchandise over

893
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: the almost twenty years. All of that is together. Sure, yeah,

894
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: because I mean I'm not throwing that out that will

895
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: go in the Hall of Fame. One in a whole wing.

896
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 3: But no, No, the answer is what if it's in

897
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: a box? I mean it's no, it doesn't go in

898
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: a box. It goes in a bag and then it

899
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:05,759

926
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: got a story. I got one right here. Sam. The

927
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 3: scene he gets us started with a clip from the

928
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: Weekend and he says, Josh Giddy threw this thing off

929
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 3: of a sideline out of bounds play a sick play

930
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 3: by okac staff. Look at the anticipation on the ball

931
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 3: from Giddy. So it's a it's a beautiful play, great clip.

932
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 3: What a pass from Giddy? Oh just gorgeous. Let him there,

933
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: nice layup? Okay, So John Hollinger sees that clip and

934
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: he retweets it with Giddy is a slob wizard gets

935
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: a crazy one off like this almost every game. All right,

936
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 3: slob wizard that sidelines out of bounds wizard?

937
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 4: All right.

938
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if Josh Gitty knows that because he

939
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: tweets a slow lizard is insane. Four emojis, laughing emojis

940
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 3: with tears there, a slob lizard is insane. I could

941
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 3: not stop laughing at this. I loved everything about it.

942
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 3: You know, x X sucks generally, but you get you

943
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 3: get gems like this every once in a while, a

944
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: slob Wizard. And then, to make it even better, I

945
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: saw in the replies to Josh Gitty, mars Man Melvin

946
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 3: with this photoshop Harry Potter and the slob Wizard, and

947
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: he says he's seen this movie before. I can't stop

948
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 3: thinking and laughing about Josh Giddy, responding to John Holland,

949
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 3: you're going you just called me a slop. He's got blizzard. God,
