Speaker 1: To digest, accept, laugh about, laugh through my pain as
Speaker 1: a Laker fan.
Speaker 2: Anyway, welcome, welcome back.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 1: I'm not that I am so happy.
Speaker 2: I think it is so great.
Speaker 6: Whooie.
Speaker 1: We didn't get swept though, I like it. There are
Speaker 1: people they're a Laker fans coping right now.
Speaker 2: We don't get swept though.
Speaker 3: Progress. It's called progress. Ever heard of it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, technically it is. Technically it is mean something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they're not worth so I don't know.
Speaker 4: So you guys got better, you know, ye? I call
Speaker 4: it a success and just take to quote Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: take the win.
Speaker 3: We don't want to reference that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jasmine, how's your how's how's your playoff? Watching experience
Speaker 1: been so far?
Speaker 7: Now that the heart is gone, it's better, you know.
Speaker 7: You just got to tweet through the pain pretty much.
Speaker 7: And yo, Laker fans are coming after me because I've
Speaker 7: said some things, but I'm like, y'all don't know that
Speaker 7: I'm one of you. Yeah, we're all in this together.
Speaker 7: We all suck together.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, you have to know the best. The
Speaker 1: most cutting commentary comes from the people that love you most.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And your channel?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yess for real, When when you know the team
Speaker 1: and everything that's involved with it so intimately, you're going
Speaker 1: to have a level of analysis that's just that he's
Speaker 1: going to cut so much deeper.
Speaker 2: And then what were you a hater?
Speaker 1: You're like, no, I love this place. That's why the
Speaker 1: hurt is so bad. But yeah, whatever, let's uh, where do.
Speaker 2: We want to even start?
Speaker 4: I guess I mean, do we want to start with
Speaker 4: a quote from Zamal Murray?
Speaker 2: Bring the quote back, bring the quote back, the quote.
Speaker 3: I think we're the best duo.
Speaker 4: I think they're in a bigger market and people have
Speaker 4: more interest in Lebron and a d in La or
Speaker 4: what Damon Giannis could do in the massive market of
Speaker 4: Milwaukee my editorializing.
Speaker 3: Or what Luca and Kyrie could do.
Speaker 4: If we're talking about the best duos and getting the
Speaker 4: job done and how they play for each other and
Speaker 4: with each other, I think me and Jokich are undoubtably
Speaker 4: number one.
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray of the Denver.
Speaker 2: Nuggets, Yes, don't say that like a question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had two game winners in a five game series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that, although.
Speaker 1: The last one we basically rolled out the purple and
Speaker 1: gold carpet and said, hey, man, go ahead, just piece
Speaker 1: us up.
Speaker 3: Some of the defensive scheming was questionable.
Speaker 2: They were scheming against the fans.
Speaker 3: They were doing these schemes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, scheming implies like a level of uh and sophistication.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it really Jokic and Murray or is
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior just was just pieced us up game
Speaker 1: after game?
Speaker 2: His shooting was Oh I just wanted.
Speaker 1: I mean, no disrespect to him obviously, but my goodness
Speaker 1: put a twenty three and eight on fifty five seven splits.
Speaker 2: For the series.
Speaker 1: I saw something about like how his his three point
Speaker 1: shooting was like just just miles ahead of everyone else
Speaker 1: on the team, And yeah, we saw that and we
Speaker 1: experienced it.
Speaker 2: Jasmine, what do we do? Where do we go from here?
Speaker 7: Roster wise? I think, yeah, I think some changes have
Speaker 7: to be made, and it starts at the top. With
Speaker 7: pockets coach Ham.
Speaker 6: He gotta go.
Speaker 7: Then from there, I it's it's tough. I think you
Speaker 7: have to keep ron A d But I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm some days I'm right there with d Low and
Speaker 7: the other days I'm just not there.
Speaker 6: That the lows are too low.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the d Lows are too low. I think
Speaker 4: you guys need to move on from d Low. As
Speaker 4: an outside observer, I just it's not because when he's
Speaker 4: good on offense, he's very good, but he's still not.
Speaker 3: Good on defense.
Speaker 4: And when he's not good on offense, he's bad on
Speaker 4: both sides of the court.
Speaker 3: And it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4: I saw my good friends, super producer Jabbari, you know,
Speaker 4: get sucked in, and I'm tired of seeing d Lo
Speaker 4: hurt you guys.
Speaker 3: As an outside observer, gave up.
Speaker 2: I gave it.
Speaker 3: I want you guys to move on. Find somebody defense.
Speaker 6: No, when a Sixers fan, it's like giving you sympathy.
Speaker 6: It is time.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, has gone out behind my eyes.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you look like the dude in the Crossroads
Speaker 1: the Bone Thugs and Harmony video.
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody's hand just came and touched me on the
Speaker 4: forehead of my eyes went completely black exactly.
Speaker 1: Then he just came for me too, and yeah, uncle Charles, please,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, now we're there.
Speaker 1: There's so many reports Haim is staying, Ham is gone,
Speaker 1: Lebron is staying, Lebron is gone, the Lakers will help
Speaker 1: Lebron reunite with his son. That cannot happen. I'm just sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm this is not a family reunification center. This is
Speaker 1: a sporting franchise where we're trying to hang up banners.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it to keep Lebron. If Lebron wanted
Speaker 3: to come to.
Speaker 6: Things exactly, we can't.
Speaker 3: We'd be like, hey, man, your son here, Yeah, let.
Speaker 6: Me people to get Lebron.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, draft whoever he wants us to draft
Speaker 8: to get. But Philadelphia is like a you know, Eastern
Speaker 8: European nation in the early nineties.
Speaker 3: We'll do whatever. You know, we don't we don't have rules.
Speaker 1: We don't have You're like, yeah, you want to own that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, that's your You've been here long enough, cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeltsin Soviet block, you know, that's what revival.
Speaker 1: Exactly Rise of the Oligarchs. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's really nothing to say. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: you know what. I've made my piece. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for this season.
Speaker 6: That piece.
Speaker 4: Last year, I thought you guys might have been the
Speaker 4: second best team in the West. This year, I mean
Speaker 4: that that was as you know, last year was the best,
Speaker 4: like the closest sweep of a series I've ever seen.
Speaker 4: This was another one where it's like, man, that really
Speaker 4: in a lot of ways felt like it could have
Speaker 4: gone in either direction, but it actually couldn't have because
Speaker 4: of like just how deadly the Nuggets are and how
Speaker 4: many different ways they can kill you. It's just they're
Speaker 4: they're so good. I don't know, he stops them. But Minnesota,
Speaker 4: Minnesota looks tough, like eight Aunt looks. I'm starting to
Speaker 4: get excited about about Minnesota's chances.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean swept the Suns swept.
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is so good and just he is really
Speaker 2: being like I'm here, y'all.
Speaker 1: In every game He's like, I don't care who it
Speaker 1: is where I'm at. Everyone is going to get it
Speaker 1: in this building, whether it's doing the degeneration.
Speaker 2: X just right there on their court.
Speaker 1: It was yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: like I don't know what for me, like aside from yeah,
Speaker 1: the wolves looking great.
Speaker 2: I'm now like, what are the suns okay?
Speaker 6: Because who thought that was gonna work? To be like
Speaker 6: the two of the three of us who thought that
Speaker 6: was gonna work.
Speaker 5: Me.
Speaker 4: I hoped it was gonna work because I like Frank
Speaker 4: Vogel and I like KD and it didn't.
Speaker 1: Emotionally we'd like for that turt but we know if
Speaker 1: we're being objective or like, show me one that worked,
Speaker 1: show me for a lot.
Speaker 6: Of things that don't come true.
Speaker 4: Y yeah, yeah, that was exactly by the way, I
Speaker 4: just started recording We've I've I've only been recording three
Speaker 4: podcasts today for uh ten years now, but I sorry
Speaker 4: to record this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hey, we're both we're frazzled, man, we're frazzled.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, we're on the ropes right now. You
Speaker 2: don't know what to blame you, But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean I think just like looking at it, like now,
Speaker 1: it looks like it's falling apart, like with whispers of
Speaker 1: like Devin Booker was like.
Speaker 5: Get me out of here, and you're like they they
Speaker 5: they're kind of handcuffed to everybody, like y'all got no nothing,
Speaker 5: They got nothing to offer anybody right now.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what happened.
Speaker 4: I just don't know how it gets better from here,
Speaker 4: because it seems like the change they're going to make
Speaker 4: is coaching change. And we've seen other people move on
Speaker 4: from Vogel to worst coaching situations in the past. So
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I'm not naming names. I'm not saying
Speaker 4: what franchise I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 4: I yeah, I don't know, Like Beale is locked in.
Speaker 4: He did not look good in that series.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe there's a future where like everybody's a little
Speaker 4: bit more healthy, but I don't there's gonna They're gonna
Speaker 4: need to find a really strong like fourth piece, uh,
Speaker 4: fourth and fifth and sixth piece somethow uh And I
Speaker 4: don't I don't know who it is. I mean, Grayson
Speaker 4: Allen getting hurt, like it, it's easy to miss the
Speaker 4: fact that he was huge for them this year, Like
Speaker 4: he was like led the league in three point shooting
Speaker 4: this year, was really like a strong I mean, he
Speaker 4: was probably their best player on the team this year
Speaker 4: because Bial was hurt a lot of the time and
Speaker 4: didn't have a great season. But so I think that
Speaker 4: was a big miss for like, they missed him a
Speaker 4: lot in the playoffs. But I it's not there's no
Speaker 4: easy answers for Phoenix Suns fans.
Speaker 1: That quote from from bal right before when he said
Speaker 1: I've never been swept the day of my life. I'll
Speaker 1: be danged if that happened fins now and cut to
Speaker 1: that press conference the next day and he's like, well, all.
Speaker 4: Be one of the worst elimination games. Yeah, that I've seen.
Speaker 7: I do respect him getting fouled out, So technically he
Speaker 7: did not wind up in like on the court when
Speaker 7: they were.
Speaker 9: Being sweet right to the heroes that he got buy
Speaker 9: on a technicality there, Yeah, coach, Yeah, does the foul
Speaker 9: like a lot of size.
Speaker 2: He's like, I only got three fouls. He's like, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna have to deck the ref or something
Speaker 2: like I gotta get efficient, man, I got to get
Speaker 2: off the court.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's whatever. So there there there's more pain there.
Speaker 2: Where else? Are you thinking? In the West?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Jack? Your Oklahoma City Thunders ticket is burning, So I do.
Speaker 4: We were under it on okay, see to win in
Speaker 4: the off season in there for summer league, for summer league,
Speaker 4: because I saw I saw the first chet Summer League game,
Speaker 4: and I was like maybe, and so put one hundred
Speaker 4: on that that would be worth a lot if if
Speaker 4: it came through millions?
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, how much ten thousand?
Speaker 2: Oh whoa, yeah, that's no joke. That's a hundred X.
Speaker 2: That's a hundred excerpt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they were yeah, yeah, they're.
Speaker 2: Underappreciated to say the least.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't know, like I don't
Speaker 4: think they're top three in the like they'd probably be
Speaker 4: third in the West heading into the second round of
Speaker 4: like most third most likely behind Nuggets, and I think
Speaker 4: probably behind Minnesota. But it's still, you know, stranger things
Speaker 4: have happened and it's.
Speaker 6: Not gonna happen. But that that's a.
Speaker 2: Pretty good thing.
Speaker 4: I know it's not happening, but I like, all right,
Speaker 4: you know what, hey, Jasmine, you know what when I
Speaker 4: when I said that I did that in the off season. Uh,
Speaker 4: we had a gambling expert on and he takes me
Speaker 4: for my donation to the City of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, thank you for donating yet.
Speaker 3: To the city. Yes, and guess what, You're not going
Speaker 3: to win.
Speaker 4: Still not going to win, but it's looking a lot
Speaker 4: better than it ever has. It's just like a website
Speaker 4: where you can sell a ticket, like I could.
Speaker 3: I could sell that now, but I'm not going to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 2: It's it's a fun idea. It's a fun, fun idea.
Speaker 6: The minute you sell it, that's when you know, that's.
Speaker 4: When it happens. That's when Yo Murray both go down
Speaker 4: with injuries and yeah.
Speaker 1: Murray gets deported to Canada for some reason, like his
Speaker 1: papers weren't right, and you're like.
Speaker 4: What aunt somehow gets traded to Okay, see like like yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know, just thought it'd be cool, so yeah,
Speaker 4: let it happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah if he just pulled up and asked if he
Speaker 1: can if he can get in, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It seems like it's gonna work out crazy.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was a I mean that that final
Speaker 1: game when they got swept as you know again, I
Speaker 1: was I'm still invested in brandon Ingram and I still
Speaker 1: like to see when he does well.
Speaker 2: It makes me feel good inside.
Speaker 1: And when he's not doing what I feel bad and
Speaker 1: that was a terrible That was.
Speaker 4: The feel bad movie of the of the playoffs of them.
Speaker 4: You're a brandon Ingram fan. Yeah, that wasn't great.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean now like the fans are like calling for
Speaker 1: him and like c J McCollum, like just to be like,
Speaker 1: get Ah be gone. That's a little too convenient. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of fans when their team gets eliminated,
Speaker 1: it's easy to be like and it was these two
Speaker 1: people and that's it, and that was the whole thing.
Speaker 2: That's my analysis.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 7: I don't like that we just called for people to
Speaker 7: get out and leave.
Speaker 6: When we lose. Laker fans, I think it is different
Speaker 6: because we expect excellence. But well yeah, isn't.
Speaker 1: Like stop like you're like, it's all right, we do
Speaker 1: it because we don't have time for.
Speaker 2: Foolishness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, guys, I mean it's ahead.
Speaker 6: Can't just be grateful, Okay.
Speaker 2: It's different. There's levels to this. There's levels to this.
Speaker 1: I'm only upset though, too, because now every Laker fan
Speaker 1: is calling for my cousin Ruy Hachimura, my fellow black
Speaker 1: knees person in the league to be out And I
Speaker 1: get that last play didn't look great, but a lot
Speaker 1: of things didn't look great in that last play, and
Speaker 1: I think it's a little too convenient to just be like.
Speaker 2: Oh and look he was.
Speaker 1: He left us wanting more that whole series. But again
Speaker 1: it's it's it's bigger than that. But I get it too.
Speaker 1: Everybody sees that.
Speaker 2: And that's why it was just that part there.
Speaker 7: Do you remember this is like going off and attention
Speaker 7: and I apologize.
Speaker 6: Or you're welcome.
Speaker 7: Steve Bartman with the Cubs and how everybody thinks that
Speaker 7: that's why they lost the game, But it was actually
Speaker 7: like the picture Carrie was.
Speaker 6: Like not doing what he should have done.
Speaker 7: The chart stopped messed an easy catch, and that's how
Speaker 7: I feel like, yes, it was bad, but everything in
Speaker 7: totality was right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, I'm very glad that you said that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly. I mean, like, come at moys Al
Speaker 1: Lou you know what I mean. He was supposed to
Speaker 1: come at.
Speaker 6: Steve passionate that he had that ball, and he did not. Yeah,
Speaker 6: horrible fielder, horrible.
Speaker 4: He was doing like silent film acting about how easily
Speaker 4: he could have caught it and like pointing at Steve
Speaker 4: Barb and.
Speaker 2: Love but not for him.
Speaker 3: He told guy, it's this guy Chapman settled down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Buster Chaplin, not Chapman.
Speaker 4: Oh, Charlie, Charlie Chapman. Yeah, Charlie Rex Chapman.
Speaker 2: And elsewhere in the West Clippers. Yeah, they're tied up
Speaker 2: to and two.
Speaker 4: That's I mean, that series is the most fun series
Speaker 4: we got going.
Speaker 1: I think I had admitted yeah, I mean I couldn't.
Speaker 1: It was painful to see just Paul George and James
Speaker 1: Harden just like ice that game out at the end,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Jason.
Speaker 2: Kidd, please put some rim protection in there. James Harden
Speaker 2: is going in just floating it up like it's nothing.
Speaker 2: How many how many you can allow? Please? I can't
Speaker 2: watch this.
Speaker 4: It's notice to have a great coach in the in
Speaker 4: the playoffs, like Tyler, It's just yeah, the Tyler is
Speaker 4: a good coach, and I don't think Jason Kid's look
Speaker 4: that good a coach. So there's always gonna be those
Speaker 4: moments in the in the playoffs where it's just like, oh, right,
Speaker 4: were coaching coaching advantages do matter?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that was no clue what that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now I'm like, we should have Tyler because he
Speaker 1: play for us. That's how it should work. You should
Speaker 1: never be able to work with someone else. Look, I said,
Speaker 1: I made my piece, but it's just I have a peaceful.
Speaker 6: It's right there, it's at the surface.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean look as much as like I know
Speaker 1: this has become a de facto Lakers and Sixers podcast,
Speaker 1: but it's just it's one of those things. Or even
Speaker 1: when you feel like like we were never gonna win anyway,
Speaker 1: there's still this sickness that all Laker fans have where
Speaker 1: they're like, we could win this year and we might
Speaker 1: be able to and we probably should until reality sets.
Speaker 2: In and you're like that was wrong. But I can't
Speaker 2: help it.
Speaker 7: I don't say this in front of everybody, but I
Speaker 7: really thought I was like, hmm, sometime tells me Lakers
Speaker 7: and six I had it in my mind.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, am I delusion?
Speaker 7: And I asked everybody and they're like, hell yes, But
Speaker 7: I really thought, like, looking if everybody was like doing
Speaker 7: what they should have done, right, I'm trying not to
Speaker 7: blame the lo That's what I was really trying.
Speaker 6: To right, right, right, But I yeah, maybe I'm just illusional.
Speaker 6: I really thought he would have made it more of
Speaker 6: a series.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 1: That was the part is like I wanted to dabble
Speaker 1: in that like the comfort of Laker fan delusion.
Speaker 2: But part was like.
Speaker 1: If this, if I crashed out on it, it would
Speaker 1: be way too painful. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I can't even put that beat down because I'm just
Speaker 1: my body can't cash that check emotionally. Yeah, so we
Speaker 1: shall see what happens there. But yeah, Jack, you were
Speaker 1: saying you think you thought maybe you cursed kawhi by
Speaker 1: by praising him too much.
Speaker 3: All Right, we don't need to bring this up again. Miles.
Speaker 2: Well we were both like maybe that. Okay. See New
Speaker 2: Orleans series.
Speaker 4: Takes Jasmine heading into the playoffs where people are forgetting
Speaker 4: that the heat.
Speaker 3: That's right, We're this good.
Speaker 4: Were this bad heading into the playoffs last year? Okay,
Speaker 4: so watch out for Jimmy Buckets to turn earn things
Speaker 4: up again. I don't know how You're falling asleep in
Speaker 4: the exact same way. And then like minutes after we published,
Speaker 4: it was like Jimmy Butler's out for the entire series.
Speaker 4: And then I was like, oh, yeah, well one more thing,
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard. People forget last year when he was kind
Speaker 4: of injured played in the playoffs, and when he played
Speaker 4: was the best player in the NBA. So look for
Speaker 4: that to happen again. And he played fairly injured and
Speaker 4: looked like he was trying to spite me for making
Speaker 4: that prediction.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. It was not pretty.
Speaker 4: So I'm not wrong about many things, as people know,
Speaker 4: as listeners know, I rarely miss.
Speaker 2: But what I do, I'll.
Speaker 3: Blame someone else. Yeah, true, champion. Man, it's a stuff
Speaker 3: I just I don't know.
Speaker 4: But they they have looked great without him, So it's
Speaker 4: it's gonna be an interesting It's interesting to see where.
Speaker 3: He goes from here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I can't imagine the we're better without Kawhi
Speaker 4: trend keeps.
Speaker 6: Up, which is wild to say.
Speaker 4: One thing that like, I keep like people keep being
Speaker 4: shocked that James Harden is having good games in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: He had like some incredible games in the six er
Speaker 4: Celtics series last year, Like he just didn't have them
Speaker 4: consistently enough for them to win the series. But he
Speaker 4: had a couple of games where people were like, James
Speaker 4: Harden's good in the playoffs now, and it feels like
Speaker 4: that just got memory hold right as did Like.
Speaker 1: I think it's because of the disappointment of that Celtics
Speaker 1: series that people just completely like wrote him off.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, but when it matters, like when it matters.
Speaker 6: Was he good in Game seven?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: No, well remember that the meaning that's the last memory,
Speaker 7: that's the one you remember.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that, like, we are not in the
Speaker 4: elimination game yet, so I wouldn't be like Harden has
Speaker 4: turned a new corner because he turned that corner last year.
Speaker 3: He just didn't do it in the elimination game.
Speaker 4: So let's let's keep our powder dry on the James
Speaker 4: Harden is now playoff James.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we'll see Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break, we'll come back and
Speaker 1: we'll look at the other side of the league.
Speaker 2: The Eastern Conference. Yeah, I know, after this.
Speaker 1: And we're back the Eastern Conference playoffs though seems like
Speaker 1: a mostly it's wild like everyone talked about how tough
Speaker 1: the West was. It was like so tough to like,
Speaker 1: you know what, we have nearly three or near what
Speaker 1: two out of the three series that already over or sweeps,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, and that just shows you,
Speaker 1: like how just powerful some of these teams are.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit tighter. Although it feels a Celtics seat.
Speaker 2: I think that's a bit of a foregone conclusion at.
Speaker 4: This year, Pat Celtics, You're gonna win that one. Like
Speaker 4: the big news in the Eastern Conferences. Porzingis has something
Speaker 4: going on with his calf.
Speaker 3: He's out at least several.
Speaker 4: Games, which is a very broad like that's an sat question,
Speaker 4: like what is at least several Yeah, but it's so
Speaker 4: that's I mean, that's a huge game changer. I think
Speaker 4: he's one of the more important players for their success.
Speaker 4: He like kind of the big difference maker that made
Speaker 4: them took them from what they were last year to being,
Speaker 4: you know, one of the best regular season teams ever
Speaker 4: and you know, give them the size and rim protection
Speaker 4: that they need to like be a.
Speaker 3: Real threat to win the title this year. We'll see.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's still a real threat to
Speaker 4: win the title this year without him, But it seems
Speaker 4: like it's not as bad as I think everybody was fearing.
Speaker 4: He first like kind of walked off and put his
Speaker 4: hands on top of his head, and yeah.
Speaker 1: Whenever it happened, he limps off and pulls their jersey
Speaker 1: to cover their face and puts their hands on their head.
Speaker 1: That's the universal symbol for I've done it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's I think I cooked it.
Speaker 2: Turkey's done.
Speaker 1: So yeah, at least several I feel seems a bit
Speaker 1: useful you based on that physical reaction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows? Who knows?
Speaker 4: They are looking like they're going to win that one
Speaker 4: with the badly injury defeated Miller, are you.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, as a neutral, I'm really disappointed because
Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen.
Speaker 2: Like at least thirty percent of the bucks like they seem, Yeah,
Speaker 2: was decimated.
Speaker 4: I want to see everybody at full health, and especially them,
Speaker 4: like where there was so much build up and like
Speaker 4: you know, having Damianis together I think captured a lot
Speaker 4: of people's imagination.
Speaker 3: It would have been fun.
Speaker 4: I am anybody, but the Celtics as far as far
Speaker 4: as like my preferences, and so they probably had the
Speaker 4: best chance in the East of challenging the Celtics. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so yeah, I'm not I'm I'm definitely not happy about
Speaker 4: how this is shaping up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I mean credit to the Pacers though,
Speaker 1: they're they've been look you got lucky there.
Speaker 2: They you're completely falling apart.
Speaker 1: It was funny too because after like that first game,
Speaker 1: the Pacers were like, don't worry, man, they got doc rivers.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be. Okay, We're gonna be.
Speaker 5: There was like I saw it on like their fans tweeters,
Speaker 5: like they're just being likes fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah pacers yeah yeah, yeah, not the players, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: the fans were just like, it's it, don't worry.
Speaker 2: The universe always delivers. There are certain laws.
Speaker 4: You did have Pacers fan Megan Gayly on and she
Speaker 4: said that it was after the Pacers went down one.
Speaker 4: She said that she felt like Dame had cursed Halliburton
Speaker 4: for doing the Dame time gesture in the I think
Speaker 4: it was the n season tournament and that seemed to
Speaker 4: have broken the curse. We do believe in curses. Here
Speaker 4: a very dumb basketball podcast. We don't believe in analytics.
Speaker 4: We believe in curses, don't and couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1: What all those weird numbers mean. But I know a
Speaker 1: curse when I see one that broke the curse. And
Speaker 1: now he's rolling. They seem to be doing pretty well.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Because I was looking at stuff, I was like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean, yo, kitches with ts or Travis Scott.
Speaker 1: I saw some number seventy seven Travis Scott's or something whatever,
Speaker 1: don't matter.
Speaker 7: Oh, can you please not mention the N Season Tournament
Speaker 7: without mentioning who won?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah yeah. Karen Bass came through and was like, guys,
Speaker 4: at least we got one, so we're she said, a
Speaker 4: tough season.
Speaker 3: At least we won the N Season Tournament.
Speaker 1: Karen Bass, please fade into the background. We do not
Speaker 1: need to hear from our mayor right now. Not right now,
Speaker 1: Mayor baths yeah uh and then the magic this right
Speaker 1: now as before the game five happens, they're tied up
Speaker 1: too and two, and I remember the being like, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know, yeah, can get down too.
Speaker 4: But I was like, Orlando's defenses is one of the
Speaker 4: better weapons I've seen, like in the postseason, and they
Speaker 4: they took it to them in the second two games.
Speaker 4: So Orlando Cleveland and Clippers MAVs, I feel like, are
Speaker 4: the two round one series that we can kind of
Speaker 4: count on being there for us as as everyone else's I.
Speaker 7: Hadn't watched like a second of either of these teams
Speaker 7: in like the regular season, so I'm like, I'm really
Speaker 7: just here for vibes this time. Yeah, and it's the
Speaker 7: last couple games have not disappointed. Well, the scores have,
Speaker 7: but like now I'm like, this is a series and
Speaker 7: I'm hoping somebody goes to seven.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah possible.
Speaker 1: I mean, like the Magic aren't good on the road,
Speaker 1: so but like if they want to survive, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get something in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: But I but that's what the postseason's for, for people
Speaker 2: to rise to the occasion or fall flat on their
Speaker 2: faces like the Lakers did.
Speaker 4: Seen Sugs since Gonzaga like that last time I saw him,
Speaker 4: I was like, he's he's like an offensive powerhouse and uh,
Speaker 4: watching him in the in the playoffs, just like ripping
Speaker 4: people at half court, I was like, he's a totally
Speaker 4: different player and like really fun like that, and then
Speaker 4: Isaac's is really fun. I don't know, They're they're cool, man,
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think they're gonna beat anyone in
Speaker 4: the second round, but they're they're a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack, I can't believe have you got nothing? Else
Speaker 2: to say about the Sixers.
Speaker 1: I want I just want to glass right over there,
Speaker 1: like Nicks are probably gonna win.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, what the game has started, Like as
Speaker 4: we're recording this, the Sixers or down three to one,
Speaker 4: the game, the elimination game has started, and I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's yeah, like they have not been able to win
Speaker 4: the close ones, and yeah, that's embiid seems too slow
Speaker 4: to rebound, seems to be the main problem. And so
Speaker 4: there's just a lot of problems on the offensive boards,
Speaker 4: you know, all with injury, and it's.
Speaker 3: Just like a truly cursed career for this man in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Just seeing that that shot him that they're saying, like, yo,
Speaker 1: he's got a mild case of Bell's palsy, like you know,
Speaker 1: like a form like facial paralysis.
Speaker 3: And I was with half his face is paralyzed for
Speaker 3: something I.
Speaker 2: Could not I was like, yo, this guy is doing
Speaker 2: everything right now.
Speaker 1: He's like I got off the leg, my face is paralyzed,
Speaker 1: and he's still.
Speaker 2: I still made that shot. I was like, hey, he
Speaker 2: put up.
Speaker 4: Like everybody's talking about him being historically bad in the playoffs,
Speaker 4: he does seem to have historical bad luck. In the playoffs,
Speaker 4: he did put up fifty game three. Despite that one
Speaker 4: of the strangest just performances in a in a basketball
Speaker 4: like seemed for the first half it was like, is
Speaker 4: he all right? Is everything okay with him? Like he
Speaker 4: seems like he's going through things emotion down And he
Speaker 4: ended up having fifty and the Sixers won the game.
Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, I just think I think the Knicks
Speaker 4: are too quick for them. Things things aren't uh with
Speaker 4: with him being injured, they they're just it's a it's
Speaker 4: a liability for the Sixers, So yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Are right now.
Speaker 4: I always sound if even when they're if they were
Speaker 4: up three one, this is how I would sound.
Speaker 3: This is just what it is to be a Sixers fan.
Speaker 2: We were doing this all season.
Speaker 1: We're like, Jack, look at them they're doing They're putting
Speaker 1: a little run together.
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't know, it doesn't matter. I'm like,
Speaker 2: come on, tap into the delute. It's twenty.
Speaker 1: Every time we have Philly fans on like Blake, we
Speaker 1: slur too. Everyone has like the same thing. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Like I'll believe it when I
Speaker 1: see it, but but I will.
Speaker 2: Watch and maybe.
Speaker 7: Go a sad life and were over here on the
Speaker 7: other end of the spectrum. Just like, yeah, Lakers.
Speaker 6: To next year.
Speaker 1: We're both on the same like of school bus going
Speaker 1: off a cliff. But it's like that meme where someone's
Speaker 1: looking out one side of the bus and the other
Speaker 1: person looking at the other side of the bus and like,
Speaker 1: but we're on the same bus, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's just like the Laker fans like, wow, we are
Speaker 4: not on the same bus.
Speaker 3: By the way, you guys have eighteen titles, we have
Speaker 3: a couple.
Speaker 4: We've had an MVP or near MVP for the past
Speaker 4: uh you know, four years, and every year the playoffs
Speaker 4: are a disaster, So uh do to the like thing?
Speaker 3: It like doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: Like I mean, I guess it makes sense because he's
Speaker 4: seven foot two and you know, has just like a
Speaker 4: massive body and like you know that. But it's every
Speaker 4: he'll have a great year and then like things just
Speaker 4: start to fall apart right at the postseason. Just is
Speaker 4: it's too long? Yeah, but like this year, you know,
Speaker 4: he took some time off. I guess he was badly injured. Anyways,
Speaker 4: It's none of this makes sense. It's been a fun
Speaker 4: ride as a Sixers fan, and I am no longer
Speaker 4: a Sixers fan.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's been my time.
Speaker 1: Like Elon Musk on that Tesla shareholders call, it's like, actually,
Speaker 1: we don't make cars.
Speaker 2: We actually AI robotics coming, So it's not an l I'm.
Speaker 3: Just a fan of the great game of basketball. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have you have transcended. You have transcended.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of transcended, I think it's time we start
Speaker 1: a new tradition here on the show.
Speaker 2: It's time to give a quick eulogy to the teams
Speaker 2: we have lost to the postseason. Que the cue the
Speaker 2: church music, please mm hmm, Dearly beloved. We are gathered
Speaker 2: here today to lay several teams down to rest this week.
Speaker 1: And although they each fought valiantly, we're going to need
Speaker 1: the Pelicans to step up first.
Speaker 2: Please please, please approach the de lectern please.
Speaker 4: I think they're in a better place now when they
Speaker 4: were getting swept a couple of nights ago. The most
Speaker 4: depressing detail as we were going through the eulogy notes
Speaker 4: they won forty nine games in the regular season this year.
Speaker 4: That is the third most enfranchised history.
Speaker 3: And it didn't even feel like that that could.
Speaker 4: A seasoned for that they still only have two playoff
Speaker 4: wins since the twenty seventeen twenty eighteen season. Is this
Speaker 4: how you're supposed to eulogize someone at their funeral? Is
Speaker 4: just saying depressing about well, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, it's kind of it's a little bit, it's just
Speaker 1: kind of just I guess maybe we'll call it a
Speaker 1: post mortem.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, on the best of health moving forward, and
Speaker 4: you know, happy trails to brandon ingram I guess absolutely.
Speaker 2: To the Pelicans.
Speaker 1: You know, now you have time to tour the beaches
Speaker 1: of Galveston, Texas or go to Faraday, Louisiana.
Speaker 2: It's all. It's all fun and games. Phoenix Suns fans,
Speaker 2: we're talking to you next.
Speaker 1: And there was plenty of evidence that a manufactured super
Speaker 1: team would rarely work.
Speaker 2: We honestly, we can't fault you for trying, for having
Speaker 2: a dream. Look, I was there.
Speaker 1: I thought Gary Payton and Carl Malone. Anyways, let's forget it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we can't fault you for trying. We
Speaker 1: can't fault you for trying.
Speaker 4: I did really believe, I really believed that they might
Speaker 4: be able to do something because of how good the
Speaker 4: nets looked four years ago. That's what That was the
Speaker 4: logic that I was clinging to. I remember remember when
Speaker 4: the nets like peak, but it was peak KD, so
Speaker 4: that was the difference. Anyways, the rumor mill is already
Speaker 4: a buzz surrounding multiple stars, head coach Frank Vogel, the
Speaker 4: team in general.
Speaker 3: We wish you safe, trails.
Speaker 1: Took Casa Grande, and now, my Laker fans, our time
Speaker 1: has come yet again, as Denver has done it to
Speaker 1: us again.
Speaker 2: I don't think ad.
Speaker 1: Look, you may have played a career high in games
Speaker 1: and Lebron in his most games since twenty eighteen, only
Speaker 1: for the team to not perform the expectations and have
Speaker 1: immediate rumors about his.
Speaker 2: Future in LA following the season.
Speaker 1: But at least this ride has been fun and completely
Speaker 1: free of anxiety or angsil, I'm not on.
Speaker 2: It was full of anxiety and actually want my kidding.
Speaker 1: Look, the Nuggets seemed to have been our alpha and
Speaker 1: our omega.
Speaker 2: We started the season playing them. They pieced us up.
Speaker 1: Then when we were unveiling Kobe Bryant's statue, we played,
Speaker 1: y'all you.
Speaker 2: Pieced us up?
Speaker 1: Then, oh, Wow, the night Lebron James became the first
Speaker 1: player to reach forty thousand points. You pieced us up,
Speaker 1: and now we meet again as you Nuggets lay us
Speaker 1: to rest and we ride off.
Speaker 2: Into North Hollywood relaxation. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna we're gonna take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be right back with the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: right after this.
Speaker 3: Wow, you're really crying. That's incredible.
Speaker 2: These are courage tears, man, because I'm so courageous.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 2: So we're back and it's time for the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: It's time, but we are Yeah, rapid fire round of questions,
Speaker 1: Jasmineill Watkins, you're in the hot seat.
Speaker 2: You've done this before. This is the fastest question answer
Speaker 2: segment in all podcasting history. We're gonna give you a question.
Speaker 1: You just check, pass it right back quick, reflexively. Don't
Speaker 1: be you know, giving quality in depth answers. Just give
Speaker 1: us like reflexive answers, you know. And if you take
Speaker 1: too long, we're going to be rude to you. But
Speaker 1: I just want to warn you we will be rude.
Speaker 1: Perfect here we go.
Speaker 2: Cramp Oh wow, it was.
Speaker 3: My favorite show.
Speaker 2: Have you seen him? He has some of the funniest.
Speaker 4: Takes on, just the stuff that's I just keep I
Speaker 4: keep saying to myself, can he.
Speaker 2: Say, you guy's got something, This guy's got something. Sold
Speaker 2: you go first? Check or show I go?
Speaker 3: I would love to go first. Miles, Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2: You were very welcome.
Speaker 3: Jazz.
Speaker 4: You could have any player's skill set for a day,
Speaker 4: but it has to be a non basketball skill.
Speaker 3: Who are you picking him? What skill?
Speaker 2: Oh? Like Rondo's like roller skating abilities.
Speaker 4: Jon Rondo's roller skating Steph Curry's golf swing, one of
Speaker 4: the way, yeah, Waymingtondale's base.
Speaker 6: Oh oh wait, wait wait wait? Who played saxophone? Somebody plays?
Speaker 6: Are really mean that Bill.
Speaker 3: And he was the president. I always think Bill Clinton
Speaker 3: was in the NBA too.
Speaker 7: No, I want to say, I want to say David Robinson.
Speaker 7: David Robinson, somebody played saxophone for Maxic Johnson and I
Speaker 7: think it was like.
Speaker 1: A yeah, wow, wow, we got to go in the
Speaker 1: vault for that one.
Speaker 2: Hold on here it is. Yeah, look at Magic.
Speaker 1: You's got a tear in his eye like he just
Speaker 1: watched the Lakers play or something.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's beautiful. That's a beautiful answer. Are you a
Speaker 2: musician though. No, but yeah, okay, that makes sense, that
Speaker 2: makes sense.
Speaker 1: Okay, Jasmine, We've got a time machine, but it's a
Speaker 1: Lakers specific time machine, and you can go back in
Speaker 1: time to see any of these moments I'm about to
Speaker 1: get you. Choose one, Magic's game winner, baby skyhooking, Game
Speaker 1: four at the Garden in eighty seven, Game seven twenty ten,
Speaker 1: you know what time it is, and also the Lakers
Speaker 1: title game in the Bubble versus the Heat. Those are
Speaker 1: you three options? Where are you taking the time.
Speaker 6: Machine twenty ten?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Easy, yep, yep. It still chasing that feeling. I
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, still chasing that still chasing that feeling. Okay,
Speaker 2: next over the Celtics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Because I mean, look, they they gave it to us,
Speaker 1: and we said to say, okay, but let me regroup
Speaker 1: real quick.
Speaker 2: I think we got something for you. We got something
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, you do have COVID antibodies and you're able to
Speaker 4: spread COVID back in twenty ten, So time traveling there
Speaker 4: was the wrong answer.
Speaker 3: You've started the pandemic ten years earlier. Messed up.
Speaker 2: That's the thing to keep.
Speaker 3: Questions.
Speaker 4: I know, all right, more likely to happen and why
Speaker 4: Pacers Eastern Conference Final run or Clippers Western Conference Finals run.
Speaker 7: Pacers, I think Halliburt they got the Kylen Clark magic
Speaker 7: around them, and I don't think the world is ready
Speaker 7: to see or we're not ready for Caliburn's outfits to
Speaker 7: leave us, so he can't be out. He needed two
Speaker 7: more games. And I will never pick Clippers no matter what.
Speaker 2: Right that makes that makes sense? That makes sense? Wait?
Speaker 4: Would they who are they playing the second round? Are
Speaker 4: the Pacers playing the Celtics second round? Or are they
Speaker 4: playing the Knicks?
Speaker 2: Oh? They are playing whatever Nick Nicks?
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 6: I can assuming you know the Sixers don't come back.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, right, yeah, did you see him? You're crazy
Speaker 3: in the assume that.
Speaker 2: His eyes just went inside.
Speaker 6: It's fine.
Speaker 1: His eyes did the bone thugs thing again, just went black.
Speaker 3: He didn't like where am I?
Speaker 1: And in this version, his uncle Charles was Barkley When
Speaker 1: you played on the Sixers, y'all, Jasmine, I want to
Speaker 1: show you some fantastic nineties throwback jerseys. Pick your top
Speaker 1: three from these coveted, coveted iconic basketball jersey designs from the.
Speaker 6: Nineties oh, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4: Hornets, Okay, Larry Johnson's Larry Johnson era pin stripes, t
Speaker 4: L pin stripes.
Speaker 6: Great, Yeah, this is tough. I'm gonna go magic. I'm
Speaker 6: trying not to be all pinstripey.
Speaker 2: But wow, yeah it is iconic.
Speaker 4: The pH Yeah, Shatra royal blue with pin stripes.
Speaker 7: I would say bulls, but I'm not gonna go three
Speaker 7: pin stripes. I'm gonna go Sixers just because that was
Speaker 7: a golden era of Sixers jerseys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, grade Sixers jersey iverson era basketball swooshing by.
Speaker 3: There's something going on with the eye. I forget what.
Speaker 3: It's got a star on it got a star.
Speaker 7: That made me very sad because I'm thinking about like
Speaker 7: Sixers now, no shade like t Wolves now, all the
Speaker 7: jerseys suck.
Speaker 3: Jerseys aren't aren't the best, not the best, and then
Speaker 3: you can get.
Speaker 7: Timberwolves from from whatever they got on now it's too
Speaker 7: clean like that KG ruggedness.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, like I want to I want to picture
Speaker 1: Steffan in that thing like that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's well, it's funny too, because like the best jerseys
Speaker 1: like every year are when they're like we're bringing that
Speaker 1: one back from the nineties. You're like, yo, like I
Speaker 1: got like I got the Grizzly I got a Grizzlies
Speaker 1: jersey because they did.
Speaker 2: The Vancouver one. Oh oh, because at the time I was.
Speaker 1: Also a big Charif Abdoor Raheem fan too. It was
Speaker 1: kind of nostalgic for me.
Speaker 2: But anyway, look, see just ask me. We got to
Speaker 2: keep this going, Jack.
Speaker 3: Do you have a sorry question?
Speaker 2: Another question?
Speaker 3: Yeah, our final question.
Speaker 4: What is the one moment or game from NBA history
Speaker 4: that you wish Twitter had been around for obviously pre
Speaker 4: two thousand and whatever, year.
Speaker 2: Nine or six.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just for the discourse.
Speaker 7: I know it's an easy one, but I would go
Speaker 7: Finals Jazz Bulls, Jordan's push off Diddy Didney, Oh, because
Speaker 7: I would want to see everybody dissect that plane and.
Speaker 4: To obliviate we beg the flu game conspiracy theories right away.
Speaker 7: You know it was pizza, but yeah, yeah, you see,
Speaker 7: it's so much drama around that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Jordan's not the goat. That would have also
Speaker 3: been the big time Jan's goat. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine some clowns just like saying that with
Speaker 2: their whole chest.
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, okay, yeah, Well you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save this tweet for twenty years exactly.
Speaker 2: It's Bob Cousy.
Speaker 3: It's Bob Coozy.
Speaker 2: Always was George.
Speaker 6: Unfair Shade.
Speaker 7: He was good and I just feel like everybody saw
Speaker 7: him because he is not as good as the generation
Speaker 7: is coming after him obviously.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's just like thee of him dribbling around,
Speaker 4: like it looks like he had just invented dribbling, Like
Speaker 4: fifteen seconds before that clip, He's like.
Speaker 2: Look at what I can do with the ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, spinning spinning around.
Speaker 1: That always shows you like like why, like you know,
Speaker 1: when we started the show, it's always about like the
Speaker 1: game is always evolving like forward and getting better and
Speaker 1: better and better, and like that's where we start. And
Speaker 1: look at where we're at now with like the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff we see Aunt do and everybody.
