Speaker 1: Oh this, thank you, I just bought it.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 2: It's a hat. Come on in. Sorry, my place is

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: a mass I just bought a hat. Oh yeah, I'm

00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: in my hack era. What'd you say?

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm wearing a hat.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 3: Oh do I have a room.

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: I'm not used to wearing this hat.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Ooh oops, ooh.

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: We're talking about the NBA Finals, but I'm talking about

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: academic finals.

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: You gotta take notes.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: That's right. That's right. Light color yellow, classic, yeah, classic, really.

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: Possible to beat.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Go check that out. On today's Drop podcast, we're gonna

39
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: take a look at the best NBA free agents this summer,

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: at least if we include all the guys that could

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: opt out of the rushout.

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Okay, there we go.

43
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: It's not a great list. Okay, a spoiler on that one.

44
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna discuss Adam Silver's comments about John Morant before

45
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Game one of the Finals last night. That was interesting

46
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and we've got some rapid fire fun. But first, my

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: man Trey Kirby called it Jamal Murray sticking a weggie

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: last night in Game one of the NBA Finals. Number

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: fifty eight for the season. We have tied the all

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: time record fifty eight. Look at JD doing some work here.

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Last I checked, Weggie Tracker had an updated. Did you

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: do that?

53
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Well?

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: I just added to fifty eight.

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Look at you, JD. Weggie Tracker asleep. I mean, we

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: haven't had a Weggie in so long I forgot. Yeah,

57
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: they're on vacation, I guess, or something like that. But anyway,

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: we're at fifty eight, tied the all time record. Our

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: next one sets it. I had a question though, because

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: Breen said weggie during the NBA Finals game. That's great,

61
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: and then a little bit later Jeff Van Gundy said, vote,

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: if you shot the weggie, you should have to take

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: the jump ball. Do you have thoughts on that?

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: I love it, Okay, I love it because it would

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: codify the term weggie in the NBA rule book. They

66
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: might use a different phraseology a ball becomes stuck between

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: the rim and the backboard. You know, they might spell

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: out what's actually happening. But I do like the idea

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 4: that if you're the shooter, you got to do the

70
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: jump ball, okay, and then the opposing team, I guess,

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: just picks whoever they want. Doesn't have to be who's

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: closest to the rim at the time.

73
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I think the defense should be in a weird way

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: rewarded for the stop, so you get to put your center,

75
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: your big guy, or you always got the highest hobbits

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: in the jump ball circle. Okay, but if you shoot

77
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: the Weggie, you should have to go get it and

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: take it.

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: The Weggie rule. How cool would that be?

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: Like if they announced that during the summer, the NBA

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: Competition Committee, we had to do a whole show emergency

82
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: podcast Weggie rule instituted.

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: They bring us in like as experts, to like talk

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: to the committee about our thought. Yeah. Possibly. Anyway, fifty

85
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: eight wedgies, one more sets the all time record, and

86
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I guess we just got to keep running with your predictions.

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: You said Jamal Murray might be one of the guys

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: that did it. He was. You also said Max Struce,

89
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: who had a lot of bricks last night.

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: He was cold.

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: He was cold. But maybe we get one from Strus

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: in the coming finals games. Let's get into the actual

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: game itself. Jokic and Murray go off. So much for

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: rust all right? Jokic triple double in his finals debut.

95
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray twenty six points. Nuggets just little trouble with

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: the cold shooting Miami heat. They get the one forty

97
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: excuse me, one o four to ninety three win in

98
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Game one. What's your biggest takeaway from this one?

99
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: Nuggets are good.

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are, and Nicola Jokic is basically unstoppable. I

101
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 4: thought he dominated this game from tip to end, and

102
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: he took twelve shots. He also took twelve free throws,

103
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: so definitely more shooting possessions, yeah, but in general, twelve shots,

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: scoring the ball well, setting up his teammates passing was incredible.

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: The only time the Nuggets were getting good shots was

106
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 4: anytime they wanted to, and it was basically because of Jokic.

107
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: If there was ever a few stagnant possessions in a row,

108
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 4: oh don't forget. The guy's a sixty five percent shooter

109
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: from the field. Just dump it into him for a

110
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 4: fade away or an easy post move. But for the

111
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: most part, it was him finding Aaron Gordon a lot

112
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 4: of times, finding Jamal Murray in the two man game,

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: finding Michael Porter Junior, just taking what the defense gave him,

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: and the defense.

115
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: Gave him a lot.

116
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 4: So a great game for Jokic in this one. To

117
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: the fact that I saw that Jamal Murray had ten assists,

118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: I was like, what, Yeah, that was a quiet tennisist

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: from him. Consistent scoring, no doubt from Murray. But when

120
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: those two were playing like they played last night, and

121
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 4: you're getting great contributions from a lot of rolled guys

122
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 4: like Gordon and Porter, the Nuggets they look tough to beat.

123
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: I mean, Game one Nuggets are the best team in

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: the NBA. They might be the best team in the NBA, period,

125
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: But the Game one Nuggets, you can't beat them.

126
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: It's impossible. No, you're right, go through it. It's Minnesota

127
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: first round. They opened up an eleven point lead at

128
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: the half. They win that game by twenty nine. Game

129
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: one versus Phoenix in the second round, the Nuggets open

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: up a seventeen point lead at the half. They cruise control.

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: They win by eighteen. Game one against the Lakers in

132
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: the West Finals, Nuggets open up an eighteen point lead

133
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: at the half. The Lakers rally in that one. It

134
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: gets a little close. Yeah, even the Lakers had a

135
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: chance to take the lead late in that game, but

136
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Denver wins by six. And then another Game one here

137
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: we were debating, Oh, they've been off for a long time.

138
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Are they going to be rusty or will the rest

139
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: be an advantage to them? Especially with the Heat going seven,

140
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: flying to Denver, playing in the altitude. I mean, that's

141
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: what it was. Once again, they looked dominant. The Heat

142
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: found some things maybe in the second half. I know,

143
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: we'll get into it where it's something you could take

144
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: from this game, as they sort of had a good

145
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: second half at least kept the Nuggets to a believe

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: forty five points and you know, one a quarter there,

147
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: and got some stops, hit some shots too, especially in

148
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: the fourth, hit some threes, but it was all a

149
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: little too late. But yeah, what a dominant performance. We

150
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: were watching on playback show at everybody that joined us,

151
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: and it felt like they just had control of that

152
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: game for the entirety of the game.

153
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: Definitely true. There was a nice run by the Heat

154
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. Like you're mentioning, they started getting.

155
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 2: Shots to fall.

156
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: They went nine of twenty two in the second half

157
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: from three, which was definitely big time. The defense looked better,

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 4: I thought, but how much are you really putting stock

159
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: into what was going down in the fourth quarter. I

160
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: don't know, it's just hard to really figure out because

161
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 4: it seemed like there were times when the heat zone

162
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: was working a little bit. You know, they the Nuggets

163
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: were still getting good shots, they just finally started missing,

164
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 4: whereas the heat started making. If you look at the

165
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: final score for the Nuggets, one hundred and four points,

166
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: the Heat'll take that every game this series out they're

167
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: limiting the Nuggets to one hundred and four points. But

168
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: the Nuggets can also play a whole bunch better coming

169
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: further on in this series here, like Michael Porter Junior

170
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: had a lot of good looks and he went two

171
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: for eleven from three. That guy is a knockdown three

172
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: point shooter. But the rest versus rust thing is not

173
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: a thing to me. I think you always want to

174
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: be and if you're worrying about rust, just dun'k it

175
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: and shoot lamps for the entire first quarter.

176
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: That was huge.

177
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: I think getting Aaron Gordon, I think he had six

178
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: lamps and dunks in.

179
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: The first quarter twelve points.

180
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: Those are easy makes. Shooting it over Gabe Vincent, using

181
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 4: your strength to get to the rim. That way, you're

182
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: not relying on the three pointers. Then, once you're used

183
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: to playing in the flow of things, the shots are

184
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: gonna drop. I mean, the Nuggets didn't shoot the ball

185
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: well last night, but they didn't need to because they

186
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 4: were unstoppable inside.

187
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that ag bullying gave Vincent early in this game,

188
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: and that just like also illustrates Jokich his passing and

189
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: him seeing the angles and his size he can get

190
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: it inside to him. There. But great job from Aaron

191
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Gordon and Malone and the Nuggets to to exploit that,

192
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: like you said early, because he had his stretch, you

193
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: had Michael Porter Junior. He had a small stretch too.

194
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean the defense was there. He had a couple

195
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: more of those sort of coming from behind slash side

196
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: blocks on Jimmy a few times. He finished with fourteen points.

197
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: Bruce Brown every game in the playoffs, it feels like

198
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: he comes in he has like a two we were,

199
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: three minute stretch where he hits a couple of shots

200
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: and extends a lead. He had ten points in twenty

201
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: one minutes. So yeah, along with Yo Kitchen Murray, who

202
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: were the two best players on the floor last night,

203
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: and then all of these guys contributing. That's how you

204
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: get to this, to this, you know, basically double digit victory.

205
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I know it got a what wasn't in the end

206
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: eleven points, so it was, but yeah, I don't know.

207
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried because my biggest takeaway was the

208
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Heat took what they could get and the Nuggets just

209
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: got whatever the hell they wanted, and that's that could

210
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: make for a sweep. I know we sometimes overreact to

211
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: game ones, but I know the question yesterday was what's

212
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: more likely a Nugget sweep or a Heat in seven?

213
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: It's definitely more a Nugget sweep after seeing what it

214
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: went down last night.

215
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

216
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: I mean they won the first one and the Heat

217
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: didn't look good, but you have to anticipate more from

218
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler in game two. No free throw attempts, no

219
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: free throw attempts for the starters. I think that kind

220
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: of filters down from Jimmy, to be quite honest, He's

221
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: not living in the l like we're used to that mentality.

222
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: Just if we're giving him credit for his will and

223
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: his mentality when it goes well, when it doesn't go well,

224
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 4: I think the same has to be said. Yep, postgame

225
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: Jimmy Bam, basically everybody on the heat was like, we

226
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 4: took too many jump shots, and they did. Like Bam

227
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: took twenty five attempts, the most shots he's ever taken

228
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: in his career, which I like to see.

229
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad he's shooting.

230
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: He was very aggressive, but you don't want him as

231
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: the number one option because basically the Nuggets are just

232
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: playing Yokichen a drop and they're saying, yeah, man, shoot

233
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: a fourteen footer. You're gonna make quite a few of them.

234
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: But it's not putting pressure on the rim. It's not

235
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: putting pressure on Yokis to foul him. And if Jimmy's

236
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: not driving, they're not getting the free throws, and they're

237
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: not getting as good as looks from three point if

238
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: they're not getting a couple of feet in the lane.

239
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: So Jimmy, no doubt, like that's a play better adjustment

240
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: in Game two, he just has to be a lot

241
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 4: more intense and a lot more ball in his hand,

242
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: getting too the hoop.

243
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Miami two for two from the foul line. That's it.

244
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: In game one of the finals, good percentage, though great

245
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: percentage did miss. They tied the fewest free throws ever

246
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: made in a playoff game. They broke the record for

247
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: fewest attempts from the line in a playoff game, and

248
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: they set NBA Finals records for fewest free throws made

249
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: and attempted. Uh yeah, he talked about it for sure

250
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: after the game. Jimmy, I gotta be more aggressive. We

251
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: as a team got to be more aggressive. Caleb Martin

252
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: one for seven, Max Trews over ten, over nine on threes.

253
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Those guys will bounce back in this series, like Max Strews.

254
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: If you go look at his three point attempts that

255
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: he got, a lot of them were wide open. He

256
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: was just clanking them. Yeah. But Jimmy, that was my

257
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: concern is like, where were you? He started this game

258
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: all right? He grabbed an offensive rebound, hit a baseline

259
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: jumper really early into the game. Then he hit a

260
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: three in rhythm off the dribble, sizing up Aaron Gordon

261
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: on the wing. That's a quick five. A little bit

262
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: later in the quarter, drove by Michael Porter Junior, finished

263
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: inside and within some traffic. Seven points right there, and

264
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: then I honestly feel like we didn't talk about Jimmy

265
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: Butler for the rest of the game.

266
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: That's definitely true.

267
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: You go, do you go? Mountain biking. You go check

268
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: out Red Rocks. He was gone, it was wild. What

269
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: else can you do in Denver? Came Spensery, Well, yeah, sure,

270
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean everybody, but he was just m I A

271
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: uh four, m I A nice violent. That's not gonna

272
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: that's not gonna cut it. Because my point is Martin

273
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: and Strus like again, they're gonna hit better percentages, they're

274
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna do, you know, hit more threes. But Jimmy just

275
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: has to set Jimmy just has to take control of

276
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the game absolutely, like set the tone. And he knows

277
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: that I spit all over my computer there.

278
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're a spitting barn.

279
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: I guess.

280
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: Man.

281
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: Celtics fans, they gotta be sick though, seeing Struce, the

282
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: struce goose over ten and Caleb Martin putting up a

283
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: one for seven after these guys were like on fire,

284
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: yeah for seven straight games. But you have to imagine

285
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: they'll play a little bit better going forward, at least

286
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 4: once they get to Miami. But it kind of come

287
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: down to two stars played great for Denver, one star

288
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: played well for Miami. Jimmy didn't do anything, and then

289
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: the role guys definitely showed up. Yeah, for Denver as

290
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: well as they have at home. Basically for the entirety

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: of the playoffs. It's just the game two gotta be

292
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: a little bit closer, gotta be a little bit grimy

293
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: if your the heat.

294
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: I think, will there be any adjustments right away from

295
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Spolstrat in game two? Will we see Kevin Love to

296
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: try and have some size A.

297
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Lot of Kevin Love talk here?

298
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I know there is, or maybe it's just go to

299
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: high Smith even who is you know, at least a stronger,

300
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: bigger dude than some of the wing guys they have,

301
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: Like do they need to like immediately overreact to be like,

302
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: holy crap, we sort of got our asses hand to

303
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: us in terms of like just being small and we

304
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: need to combat that a little bit. Or no, let's

305
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: relax a little bit. We got some shots we got

306
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: to hit. If we hit those threes, it's a different

307
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: start to this game, and it's a different game maybe entirely.

308
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: What do you think?

309
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 4: Okay, so few thoughts Number one, Heywood high Smith definitely

310
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: has to play like the guy's earning his minutes. He

311
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: was awesome in the fourth quarter, finished with eighteen size

312
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: and apples. I think is kind of needed against this

313
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: Nuggets team. I don't necessarily know that it means he

314
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 4: should start. I would also go Kevin Love instead of

315
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: Cody Zeller.

316
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: I know it ain't going well.

317
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not gonna go well with Love, but

318
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: at least he can stretch out on the other end

319
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: and maybe hit some threes, which will be big for Miami. However,

320
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: I kind of think the key is defensively, they should

321
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: I think they should stay small. I think they should

322
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: stay up their same starting lineup and make Yokic into

323
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: a scorer, because that's kind of what happened. I thought

324
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter they were disrupting, disrupting his passing game.

325
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: He wasn't orchestrating quite as much, and just they were

326
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: giving him shots that maybe after playing three quarters of

327
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: distribution basketball, he wasn't necessarily wanting to play it that way.

328
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: So I think you can't have.

329
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: Murray go off and Porter go off and Gordon go

330
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: off and have Jokic doing everything out there. So that

331
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: fourth quarter they kind of hit on something where I

332
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: think it's just make Jokic into a score, take away

333
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: the three pointers for the other guys, and honestly bomb

334
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: away from three. If you're the heat, you gotta flip

335
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: the mat a little bit. Two is to threes. I

336
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: think Denver will probably shoot better in Game two. They

337
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: did not shoot the ball very well, but that's Miami's

338
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: best shot, I think.

339
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Miami opened the fourth quarter on that eleven

340
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: to zero run, so they cut a big deficit down

341
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: to a very manageable I guess they got it to

342
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: nine after hit a three. I mean it was getting

343
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: pretty late when he hit that. I think there's like

344
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes to go, but at least

345
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: they had a good quarter. They hit threes, and like

346
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: you said, you gotta make Yo kicch this the score.

347
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: You gotta do what basically Denver did to Bam. Yeah,

348
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: they need Yokis to be shooting twenty five to thirty

349
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: times and take away the Jamal Murray. Now this is

350
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: so easy to say, like the pick and roll game

351
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: between these two guys, it's like, what are you gonna do?

352
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: And then even like Jamal Murray will hit like shots

353
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the shot clock where you've played

354
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: pretty good defense for twenty three seconds and then it's like,

355
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, shot, come on. But yeah, that has

356
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: to be the game plan. I'm with you on love

357
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: over Zeller. I like some of the things that he did.

358
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: They took away, for the most part, transition opportunities for

359
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: my for the Denver Nuggets, that's good. They did all

360
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: right on the glass and at least in terms of

361
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: like they weren't dominating inside the Nuggets on the glass there,

362
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: so that's good. And yeah, they found their three point

363
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: shot as the game went on, and you're gonna hope

364
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: that starts in game in the first quarter for them

365
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: in Game two. But yeah, those are definitely the adjustments.

366
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. The high Smith needing needing

367
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: to get an opportunity because he was, he's scoring.

368
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: He's been good. Yeah, it's very very good.

369
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: What else you got from this game? What else am

370
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: I missing?

371
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: We had a great playback stream, Like we got done

372
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: with that playback stream. I was like, is that our

373
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: greatest playback ever?

374
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: We had?

375
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: Task maybe the best halftime performance I've seen since Red

376
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: Panda came back.

377
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: It was epic.

378
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: He was just like, it felt like he was teasing

379
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: a Nuggets fan wearing a big hat for the entirety

380
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: of halftime yep. And it led to task putting on

381
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: the big hat, like as the third quarter was coming back,

382
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: We're going crazy.

383
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: That was great.

384
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: We had tasks like pop on with about a minute,

385
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: just with a big grin on his face, knowing that

386
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: that Jamal Murray Weggie had already happened.

387
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: You're just waiting it out.

388
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: And then at the end we played an incredible game

389
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: of trivia that came down to a Derek white asque

390
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: point one second game winner. Shout out to Andre Kirilenka,

391
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: what a playoack.

392
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: It was great.

393
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: That was too good.

394
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: You gotta join us on Sunday night for Game two,

395
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern start there. It is good stuff. Jad's

396
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: all over it. Just a few more thoughts on the superstars.

397
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: For Denver after recording his ninth triple double of these playoffs,

398
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: you'll getch Is averaging twenty nine point eight points, thirteen

399
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: point one rebounds, and ten point five assists during the

400
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Nuggets now sixteen game playoff run. Only one other player

401
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: in NBA history has averaged a playoff triple double with

402
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: more than five games played. Shout out to Schumann for this.

403
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd. He averaged fourteen point six points per game,

404
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: ten point nine boards, ten point nine assists in twelve

405
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: games for New Jersey back in seven, So you'll getch

406
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: just more than doubling that scoring average. And the Nuggets

407
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: on the season are thirty five and three, eight and

408
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: one in the playoffs. When Jokic gets this triple double.

409
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: And I say all of this because I feel like

410
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: it's getting overlooked, it is. I know he's a two

411
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: time MVP. I know you know here him being in

412
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: the finals now are a lot of the headlines and

413
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: the storylines and stuff like that, But like, these are

414
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: insane numbers thirty thirteen and eleven if we're rounding up

415
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: during the playoffs, not meaningless regular season games against crappy teams,

416
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: against the best teams in the playoffs, and he's putting

417
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: up these numbers. It's insane.

418
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: The guy's pretty good, and he stuck around long enough

419
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: to get the rebound pretty late. I am disappointed. I

420
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: didn't score enough points to stay over the thirty point

421
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: per game mark officially told everybody needed like another four.

422
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: Points or something like that. I don't know math wise,

423
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: but yeah, it was. That was awesome. Yeah, he's a

424
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: good player, and he got to play against Nkola.

425
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Yovitch last night and you called that as well.

426
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it.

427
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: Yovic versus Jokic Game one, we just got it over

428
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: with right away, both out there.

429
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he pulled the plug a little early.

430
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: And I feel like I wonder if there was a

431
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: conversation before the series started between Nicoley Jokic and Michael Malone,

432
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 4: like if he ever checks in.

433
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: Keep me out there for a possession.

434
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: Apparently he took him to dinner sometime in Denver after

435
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 4: Miami showed up, So there's some sort of a relationship there.

436
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: Wouldn't surprise me if you wanted to share the court.

437
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Very very possible. Also, fund stat to fold Murray into

438
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: this Yo kitchen. Murray just the third and fourth players

439
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: in NBA history to record a twenty five point tennisist

440
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: game in their finals debut. Can you name the other

441
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: two debut game one in the finals?

442
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: Yep, twenty five points, ten assists. Magic.

443
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: No, but just say the game is worthy.

444
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: I'll say the other mj oh Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan

445
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: tennis ninety one.

446
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: I know, nice and good game.

447
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook twenty twelve, first time.

448
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably wouldn't guess that.

449
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Now Yo Kitchen Murray do it in the same game

450
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: stats in their first finals debut. What other random note,

451
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: I think.

452
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: There is an opportunity for some celebrity out there to

453
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 4: become the Nuggets celebrity fan. Yes, okay, because when they

454
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 4: were doing the like guess who's in attendance at Game

455
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 4: one of the finals, it was basically all Denver area athletes. Yeah,

456
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 4: we saw Peyton Manning, we saw Russell Wilson. Sean Payton

457
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 4: was there, uh coach he brought to the Broncos.

458
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: Now interesting, from the Saints to the Broncos. Wow, what

459
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: a pickup.

460
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 4: But the biggest celeb was Ken Jong from the Hangover

461
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 4: franchise from Community. I heard on the Hoop Collective podcast

462
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: that he apparently bought his tickets on Ticketmaster. Like you

463
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: just you just want to go to the game. He's like,

464
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 4: I'll say court side and they were available. So to me,

465
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 4: it's like, step up Denver area celebrities.

466
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: I think Ken Jong saw that opening. He's like, there

467
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: are no Denver Nuggets celebrities. Yeah, like you know, outside

468
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: of the sporting world, So I'll spend what did those costs?

469
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: You said it was seven hundred and fifty dollars just

470
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: to get into the arena last night. Yeah, he went

471
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: on the back row yep, so court side k oh

472
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: interesting Yeah, I mean miss high Okay, So anyway he

473
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: saw maybe he'll be the guy.

474
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: Maybe he'll be mister Nuggets like he's there for every

475
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: every win.

476
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: I don't know what ties does he possibly have to

477
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: the Nuggets in Denver. That's the part I can't figure out.

478
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: He grew up in North Carolina.

479
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: He just appreciates beautiful basketball, I guess so I think

480
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: he went he went to Duke, right. I think he

481
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 4: went to UNC for medical school. We know a lot

482
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: about Kenjiong's background now from our proro Google.

483
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: Yah.

484
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, soo, maybe he'll be the guy.

485
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 4: My recommendation would have been that Don Cheetle should be

486
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 4: the Denver Nuggets super Fanny graduated from a high school

487
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: in Denver. I've seen him at a Broncos game. Okay,

488
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: I just think Denver don has it pretty cool ring

489
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 4: to it. Find Don Cheetle send him a game too, please.

490
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: Don Beside, Dan Dannissel was.

491
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: There.

492
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so on Cheetles that's fine. Yeah, Well that's

493
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: the thing here. Right. I guess we're getting at there's

494
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: not a lot of at least that we know of

495
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: popular Denver area celebrities born in the area or live

496
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: in Colorado. No, no, he lives in Utahs, say, doesn't

497
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: post a lot. Yea, I thought it's the other Mountains.

498
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean his dad's the coach of the Nuggets,

499
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: So maybe a conflict of interest or maybe it should

500
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: be okay.

501
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Interesting, let us know in the stream team who should

502
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: be the Nuggets super celebrity or are we just going

503
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: with Ken Jong?

504
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe maybe it's fine. The kennaissance he's back.

505
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: We did get a lot of Ken Jong in the

506
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: like in the twenty tens, not as much in the

507
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: twenty two.

508
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, I mean he is on. Is it

509
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: the masked Singer, which is a huge show.

510
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: I mean, let it be Ken.

511
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Why not let it be Ken?

512
00:22:52,400 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: It's Ken, It's Ken Team Ken Baby.

513
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: Session fans.

514
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: While last Michael Porter Junior had one assist last night

515
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: and it was sick.

516
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: I woke up thinking about it and then I saw

517
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: you clean it.

518
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: I know, man, I was so excited.

519
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 4: I was hoping there would be a replay from like

520
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 4: under the Basket because he catched the ball in the

521
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 4: left corner. He pumped fakes, he looks a little hesitant

522
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: to drive to the hoop. He goes to shoot, somebody

523
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 4: comes over and challenges, so he just throws like a

524
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 4: straight down bounce pass. But Yokic is right there, bounces

525
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: straight up into his hand. Easy lamp smart passed by

526
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: Michael Porter Junior, but very funny delivery.

527
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: I smashing it off.

528
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember ever seeing a type of bounce pass

529
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: where you literally are in the air and just dropping

530
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: at your own fate for another guy to grab and

531
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: put in.

532
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 5: Ye.

533
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Cool, it was a great play. He played well there. Again,

534
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: like the defense you keep talking about, I mean he

535
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: has mastered that little he's tall, he's figured out. I

536
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: am very very big out here, and I can use

537
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: my length to challenge shots and stuff like that, either

538
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: from behind the side. Like we said, he had a

539
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: big donk. Was that the one on the putback?

540
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

541
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: That was him d Yeah, he had a good game.

542
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody played really, really well for the Denver Nuggets. Yeah.

543
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: Those are our notes from game one. I don't have

544
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: anything else. Again, I was happy to see, you know,

545
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: Lowry hitting some threes them getting some stops there in

546
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: the fourth to at least make it a little close

547
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: for us watching it live. Yeah, because it got like,

548
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: you know, within ten, like we said, like, okay, this

549
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: could be a game. But even though they lose there,

550
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: there might be something to take away from this. And

551
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, also they sort of got their asses handed

552
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: to them at the same time. So it's like we

553
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: got to play like one hundred times better and they

554
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: just have no room margin of error. They have to

555
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: play a damn near perfect game. I think to beat

556
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: the Nuggets team the way they can just score, it

557
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: will because yeah, I liked that they went to the

558
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: zone when Yokich wasn't out there. But then we even

559
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: saw Jeff Green beat the zone. They threw his old

560
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: ass in the middle, and yeah, I like hook shot

561
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: in the middle, gut. Yeah, it's like, okay, that's how

562
00:24:59,400 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: you do it.

563
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: So they were ready.

564
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: They were no doubt ready for their soviety. They were like, well,

565
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: the heater up three to zero in their series, we're

566
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: probably seeing them because no teams never come back. So

567
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: let's practice beating the zone, you know, for ten days

568
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: or nine days or whatever it was. And they were ready.

569
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how much they go to it in Game

570
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: two of the Heat. Let's take a break and when

571
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: we come back, we're going to look at the free

572
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: agent class for the summer of twenty twenty three. We

573
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: got tweeted the night we'll talk about Jah Morant and

574
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: Rapid Fire. Don't go anywhere, all right, So the stream

575
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: team joining us live on YouTube, which we love to see.

00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Hit the like button, make sure you subscribe. Pointing out

577
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: the South Park guys great one as potential Denver Nuggets celebrities.

578
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: I think they're hoops heads too.

579
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: I think they've been at a game in the playoffs.

580
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, maybe Western Conference Finals. A lot of

581
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: people also suggesting Dog the Bounty Hunter.

582
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: A Denver guy.

583
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: Really, now, look, I would love to see him on

584
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 4: the sideline in the background of like some class moments

585
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 4: like Jokicha's Finals MVP winning moment and in the back

586
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: you see Dog would be very funny and also a

587
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: lot of suggestions for Tim the Toolman Alan is his actual.

588
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: Name, Tim the Toolman Taylor is the character of course.

589
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's a Michigan guy to me, Oh yeah,

590
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 4: he was born in Denver.

591
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: Apparently he's a Pistons fan.

592
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: So we're saying kenj. Young really doesn't have that much competition.

593
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, Dog the bounty Hunter and Tim Allen,

594
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: all right, I'll keep your suggestions coming. I think we

595
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: should just like try and make it tasks.

596
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?

597
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: He's there, He looked good with that. Ye put a

598
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: big head autumn and sit him court side. You can

599
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: be the nuggets number one fan. All right. Finals obviously

600
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: going on here, and we are not saying it's a rap.

601
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Heat come back in Game two. But I

602
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: started looking towards the summer here at some point in

603
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, thinking about the free agents

604
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: and who could be in the right to get a

605
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: big contract or possibly move. So I've got a list

606
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: for you, and I will say before we start this

607
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: list of the twenty twenty three NBA free agent class,

608
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: it is not a particularly strong one.

609
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: There's some names I've heard here.

610
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: We don't really have a single definitive headliner free agent.

611
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: There are some like borderline all NBA guys who have

612
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of question marks surrounding them. We'll get to

613
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: them in a second. And then there's some like borderline

614
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: all star guys and it's okay, but it's not like, oh,

615
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: that's the big name or the second name there. But

616
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: it's still a fascinating list, and I wanted to pitch

617
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: it at you and see what you think. Our own

618
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: guy at the Athletic, Danny LaRue, he was wondering even

619
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: if any of these players get the full thirty five

620
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: percent maximum contract for five or four seasons. He says,

621
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: it's like possible that that doesn't even happen. But we'll

622
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: see honorable mentions here. There's a lot because I just

623
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: did top ten free agents, but honorable mentions. Josh Hart

624
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: has a player option. Good player. Austin Reeves. We've talked

625
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: about restricted. I mean that guy's going to go from

626
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: making nothing to a lot. Camp Johnson also restricted. I

627
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: would assume that he'll be sticking with the Brooklyn Nets

628
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: as one of their pieces after the big deal yaka

629
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: pertl unrestricted. I can't see the Raptors after what they

630
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: traded for him, not obviously signing him to a deal.

631
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: Got Harrison Barnes with the Kings as a vet. D'Angelo Russell,

632
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: you know ups and downs that we saw in the playoffs.

633
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,959
Speaker 1: He's unrestricted. Christian Wood is unrestricted. Talk about a guy

634
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: who had a weird season. Yeah, like good numbers, then

635
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: suddenly wasn't playing. It's like, what are you doing, Jason Kidd?

636
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: But is he good? Are they just numbered? It's he's

637
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: a strange player. Jordan Clarkson has a fourteen point two

638
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: million dollars player option. Russell Westbrook is unrestricted. Yes, you know,

639
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what type of deal he's gonna get.

640
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: The head Yeah, I kept, and then Gary Trent Junior.

641
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: I also included an honorable mention eighteen point eight million

642
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: dollar player option. As you'll see, a lot of these

643
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: gate A lot of these guys on this list have

644
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: player options, and I would assume a lot of them

645
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: will opt out and decline and test free agency because

646
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of big names. But let's hit

647
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: him here in order. The top ten NBA free agents

648
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 1: this summer. You'll like this one. TK Nikolo Vucevic number ten. Hello, hello,

649
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: unrestricted Chicago Bull's going to be interested in bringing big

650
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: Vucci baby back.

651
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be interested.

652
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: You think so.

653
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: I think he made twenty five mil this season. Perhaps

654
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: he signs an extension for longer years, a little bit

655
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: less money in the eighteen mil range. I don't know,

656
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: but uh vouch. You can do better as a starting center,

657
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: and you can do a lot worse as a starting center.

658
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: And you know, for all the concerns the Bulls have

659
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: had and all the problems they've had the past couple

660
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: of seasons, for some reason, they keep finishing in the

661
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 4: top ten in defense despite the fact that Nikola Buchevic

662
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: is the center.

663
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

664
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: If he is paid a little bit less, you probably

665
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: aren't as concerned with him with his production.

666
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: Yep. Number nine. Jeremy Grant with the Blazers also unrestricted,

667
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: and this is sort of fascinating with him and whether

668
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: he has a role in Portland or he looks like

669
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: one of those pieces like can you talk yourself into

670
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant after we've seen Wiggins with the Warriors over

671
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, what we're seeing with Aaron

672
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: Gordon sure with the Nuggets. Now, can like Jeremy Grant

673
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: be that third or fourth guy on a really good team.

674
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: I sort of think so.

675
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely he was with the Knights. It feels like one

676
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: hundred years ago at this point. But that might be

677
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 4: a little bit of an indicator of what the Trail

678
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 4: Blazers are planning to do, just because I guess the

679
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: free agency comes after the draft. Never mind what I

680
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: was saying, but I think they're going to keep him

681
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: around just.

682
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: Because he is a really good player.

683
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: It doesn't feel like the Trailblazers are going to be

684
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: going to rebuilding route. So you can't really let a

685
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: talented player like that walk away when you're trying to

686
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: win with Damian Lillard.

687
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant in sixty three games this year, he averaged

688
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: twenty one points per game, four and a half boards,

689
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: two and a half assists, shot forty eight percent from

690
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: the floor, forty percent from three.

691
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: It was knocked down this year.

692
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like we never ever ever talked about

693
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant. No, I know a big part of that

694
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: was the Blazers. That's a disappointing season. But he he

695
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: gets overlooked. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So he's obviously on this list.

696
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: I probably could have had him a little higher. But

697
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: at number eight, Kyle Kuzma, who will be testing free agency,

698
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: he has a thirteen million dollar player option. I would

699
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: be shocked if he is not exploring a bigger pay

700
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: day than yours and what team that's with? You know?

701
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Is it the case of sticking in Washington? We got

702
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: new leadership there in a new with Winger coming over,

703
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and now he just got Schlank. Is Kusma going to

704
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: be paired up with another name we'll get to later

705
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: on this list who also has a player option in Porzengis?

706
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: But what do you think about kuz.

707
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the trade deadline, when they didn't trade Kuzma,

708
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: Tommy Shepherd was still the guy. I definitely felt like

709
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: Kuzma was going to be coming back and kind of

710
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: an important player for the Wizards, a desired player around

711
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: the league, like everybody wanted to trade for him. So

712
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 4: when the Wizards didn't, I was like, Okay, they must

713
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 4: have a plan here to keep him. Right, But now

714
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: with the leadership change in the front office and at

715
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 4: least reports that if the Wizards wanted to rebuild, they

716
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: could as long as the plan submitted was okay, maybe

717
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 4: Kuzma has more in play Now. You think Kuzma's ahead

718
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 4: of Jeremy Grant reputation wise, he does have a championship,

719
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 4: he's without it in the playoffs.

720
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: You know.

721
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's up. It's a bit of a toss up.

722
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think I would want Grant

723
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: more if I'm a good team. I don't know, I

724
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: actually don't know. I mean, twenty one to seven, he

725
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: had a good year. He didn't shoot the three ball

726
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: that well, that's sort of his thing. I always I

727
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: think we always think of him a really good three

728
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: point shooter, but he's sort of not yeah, but sort

729
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: of below average.

730
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, but I also feel like he is better

731
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 4: getting his own three pointers compared to Jeremy Grant. Yeah,

732
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 4: which means then the Kuzma's taking a lot harder threes,

733
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 4: which maybe hurts his efficiency.

734
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

735
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: Maybe it's like sixty forty defense versus offense there, Yeah,

736
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 4: for offense versus defense.

737
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: Okay, number seven, you're speaking of defense. Couple defensive minded

738
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: guys at seven and six here Brook Lopez unrestricted. Hmm, yeah, exactly,

739
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: hmmm uh. And again there's another Milwaukee Bucks player on

740
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: this list later who has a player option in Middleton.

741
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: But brook Lopez could he be one of these names

742
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: where we keep hearing like the Rockets want to get

743
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: a veteran guy in the Pistons probably want to get

744
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: a veteran guy in or too, though they have like

745
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: a million big so maybe it doesn't work there. But

746
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: some of these teams that want to like start winning

747
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: some games, maybe get a little defensive identity that I

748
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: think of, like, oh, brook Lopez could be a solution

749
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: for some of these squads to shore up the middle. Obviously,

750
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: he can stretch the floor. He like has you know,

751
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: he's just a veteran, so he's going to help your

752
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: locker room in terms of growing and stuff like that.

753
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: Like he's a he's a quirky guy.

754
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 4: Quirky guy, but well liked. Yeah, nobody dislikes his quirk no, no, so,

755
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 4: But anyway, Brook Lopez, it's seven here. That's a good one.

756
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: That could be a serious piece that changes teams because

757
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: I think brook Lopez is awesome. He had a great

758
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: offensive season for the Bucks and then his return this

759
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 4: season put him back in the top five defensively after

760
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty two season when he didn't play all

761
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 4: that much and the Bucks were kind of just middle

762
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 4: of the pack. He saw the impact that Lopez has defensively,

763
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 4: that's a given at this point, but the fact he

764
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 4: was able to put the team on his back and

765
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 4: be an offensive player when the Bucks were going through

766
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 4: some injury problems. I thought that was a great season

767
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 4: for Lopez. So I don't know if the Bucks want

768
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: him to go away, but I mean, he is getting older,

769
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,479
Speaker 4: but that's a big time piece.

770
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I think he's He's played nearly a thousand games in

771
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: the NBA. Brook Lopez started young, probably has when you

772
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: consider the playoffs when you fold those in, but yeah,

773
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: he's been around since oh eight oh nine. Holy crap,

774
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: looks great. He look great. Brook at number six. Another

775
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: defensive minded guy. Draymond Green. Okay, he's got the twenty

776
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: seven point six million dollar player option. Will he decline that?

777
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: Especially now with Bob Meyer's leaving. Does that have any

778
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: impact on Draymond's decision? And does he want to stick

779
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: with Curry and Clay and that squad with Kerr and

780
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: giving another go or does he want to go somewhere else?

781
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows.

782
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 4: All the reporting seems like the Warriors want him back

783
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 4: and that Draymond wants to come back despite all the

784
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 4: last dance talk kind of happening. As the season went on,

785
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 4: it definitely feels more and more likely that Draymond will

786
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,959
Speaker 4: be returning to the Warriors. I can see a team

787
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 4: like Dallas or Portland being interested in what Draymond brings

788
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 4: from an intensity standpoint, what he does for you defensively,

789
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 4: and then you know, just kind of the winner's mentality.

790
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 4: I could see those teams talking themselves into it. But

791
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 4: I just think he's most valuable to Golden State, which

792
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: is why he'll probably remain with Colton.

793
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, into the top five here. I

794
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: struggled trying to decide where to put this guy. I

795
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: guess I elected to put him at number five. Chris Middleton.

796
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: Now he has a giant forty point four million dollar

797
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: player option so that he could opt out of and

798
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: try and sign a new deal. But he is coming off,

799
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, arguably the worst season of his career, coming

800
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: back from injury. He only played thirty three games, and

801
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: it looked like it like he looked bad and he

802
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: just couldn't shoot, you know. I obviously, flame out in

803
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the first round doesn't help his you know, maybe his

804
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 1: payday if he does opt out. So Middleton, I didn't

805
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: know where to put him here, Like he is still

806
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: to me, such a good player. But ken he bounce

807
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: back from the injury, is he too old? I mean,

808
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: what's your what's your take on Middleton here? All right?

809
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 4: So it'll be thirty two at the start of next season, okay,

810
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 4: and he just shot thirty two percent from three. Now,

811
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: Chris Middleton hasn't had that bad of a shooting season

812
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 4: since his rookie year, So I would think he's going

813
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 4: to be on the upswing next year, especially he said

814
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 4: that's what Chris Middleton does when he's at his lowest.

815
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 4: You know, he's coming back the highest. But that's a

816
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: big time player option. Would you say forty four million?

817
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: Forty point four forty point four million, So he may

818
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 4: be signing a forty million dollar deal, not likely, but

819
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: he could sign a longer deal lock it in for

820
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: uh maybe a lower number, but I would be If

821
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 4: I'm the Bucks, I think I would want Middleton back,

822
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 4: whether it be on the player option or extended a

823
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 4: little bit here, just because I think he will be

824
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 4: better next season, having fully returned from the hamstring injury

825
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 4: that kept him out.

826
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and twenty two, and you're right, maybe he doesn't

827
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: even opt out of this and decides no, let me

828
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: put together another sort of All Star like year, and

829
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: then I'll maybe looking sure at you know, one more final, big,

830
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: big payday, which is a possibility.

831
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: All right.

832
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: At number four, we got another Wizard's player, Kristaps Porzingis.

833
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: He has a thirty six million dollar player option. Like

834
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: I said, there's a lot of guys here that can

835
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: hit free agency if they want to. Kp had a

836
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: really good year. He stayed healthy, he put up big numbers.

837
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: It didn't really translate into a bunch of wins for

838
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards, but he is one of these unicorn

839
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: type players. He's a big guy that can obviously hit threes,

840
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: but can take care of the rim like Brook Lopez

841
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: to some extent, he's pretty good at deterring shots in

842
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: there because of his size. But what do you think

843
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: about Porzingis.

844
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 4: Great contract here from Porzingis playing sixty five games, shooting

845
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 4: thirty eight percent from three. He was a fringe All

846
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: Star candidate at least his name was worthy of discussion.

847
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 4: But this one is one I'm a little bit more

848
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 4: nervous about. Despite the fact that Chris STAPs is twenty

849
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 4: seven now, he'll be it's twenty eight at the start

850
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: of next season.

851
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: Ostensibly in his prime.

852
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he just gotta be worried about him staying

853
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 4: on the court. So if you're gonna sign him to

854
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 4: a contract, maybe put a game's played clause in it, Yeah,

855
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 4: to save yourself some pain if things go poorly, Because

856
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 4: I do still think Porzingis is an impact player when

857
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: he's on the court. Sometimes it's a little bit I'm

858
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 4: getting my numbers and it doesn't necessarily have the team impact.

859
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 4: But he's a good written defender, he can shoot from outside.

860
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: You can see why the Mavericks wanted him next to

861
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 4: Luka Doncic all those years ago. But if he's your

862
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: number one guy, which it might be for the Wizards,

863
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: it's not great. But he's still a good player, I think.

864
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he played the most games in his career since

865
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: he started with the Knicks. Yeah, as a rookie and

866
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: then the second year he played sixty six, But he

867
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: played sixty five for the Wizards, and that for him

868
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: is a lot. And he put up twenty three points

869
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: per game and eight and a half boards, three assists,

870
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: you know, one and a half blocks, like we said,

871
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: like he can do that. So he's an interesting one

872
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: and you know he gets paid thirty six million dollars

873
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: or he can next year. But because of these shortage

874
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: of names, he'd be one of the bigger names. As

875
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm going over in the mix, like, I don't think

876
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: it's a stretch for me to have him top five.

877
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: No, definitely not when we get to the age.

878
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, good, right, because I actually flip flopped

879
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: between these two guys. Porzingis at four and then I

880
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: put Fred Vliet at three. I originally had at KP

881
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: three van Vliet four. So maybe he'll disagree with me.

882
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: But Van Vliet has a twenty two point eight million

883
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: dollar player option, so he could decline and hit free agency,

884
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: which a lot of people think he will.

885
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: Van Vliet he's good. I still think he's good.

886
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: He was overtaxed, he's not a number one guy, and

887
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 4: he was often thrust into the number one role for

888
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: the Raptors. So I think if he's able to settle

889
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 4: into like a primary ball handler, secondary or even tertiary scorer,

890
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 4: that's nice.

891
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: And like, look, what is.

892
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson making twenty five million something like that? I

893
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 4: think Fred van Vliet is worth something similar, though he's

894
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: a little more advanced in age.

895
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: Yep, that's right. But you know he can, he can

896
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: play off ball, he can obviously orchestrate in offense. He's

897
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: he plays hard defense, though we've seen him get absolutely

898
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: lit up by very steedy guards. Yes, and he is small,

899
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: but he has a lot of winning qualities at least

900
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: like it's Brunson. Like we've said that before, we said

901
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: that a long time ago, that Brunson was sort of

902
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: like a van Vleet two point zero. But yeah, getting

903
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: up there in age, has he lost a little bit

904
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: of a step And would you want to give him

905
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: a huge, huge you know, like four.

906
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 4: Year I would be more worried about the years, just

907
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 4: because I mean Fred van Vliet shot thirty nine percent

908
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: from the field this year, forty percent the year prior,

909
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 4: thirty nine percent prior. He's six foot one. Yeah, finishing

910
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 4: inside is a problem for Van Vliet. But if you're

911
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 4: playing on a team like a Joel Embiid team, for instance,

912
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 4: it's been some rumors he's teasing a little bit, like, hey,

913
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 4: maybe me and Nick Nurse do get along. Actually, if

914
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 4: you don't necessarily need him scoring againside and he's able

915
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 4: to just hit threes, I think he's probably a better

916
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 4: shooter than thirty four percent like last year, he's thirty

917
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 4: seven for his career.

918
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: Seems more in line.

919
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: And what about a team like the Orlando Magic, who

920
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: have been like linked to him for a while. The

921
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: idea of like, oh, yeah, you bring in a floor

922
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: general like m with all of their young talent on

923
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: the wings, especially.

924
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: As long as he's not the number one guy.

925
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he would have to be the third guy

926
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 4: if he comes to Orlando, setting up Polo and setting

927
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 4: up Franz.

928
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 2: But I think he can be that kind.

929
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, I think so too. The top two names

930
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: on the list, Kyrie Irving unrestricted free agents.

931
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 2: Let's go here we go.

932
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, now we're at the like we are at

933
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: the all NBA level for these top two names. Here

934
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: you can probably figure out who's number one. Kyrie sticking

935
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: with Dallas like lock it in after making the move

936
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: for him or or not.

937
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 2: I don't lock it in.

938
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: No, with Kyrie, you can't work. You can't lock it.

939
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 4: And he was sitting in the court sided all these

940
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 4: Lakers games. Remember he likes basketball, He just likes basketball.

941
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards was there too, Trey Young was there too. Yeah,

942
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 4: if you are a clutch client, you can. You can

943
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 4: go to the games.

944
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: Fine, yeah, that's totally fine.

945
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: I ain't getting Ken Jong tickets. He's gonna buy his own,

946
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: but clutch ken clutch can. I don't know. Maybe his

947
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: side with.

948
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: Him, Oh man, I don't know. Uh.

949
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 4: Kyrie, I thought it was gonna work when he got

950
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 4: traded to the Mavericks. I was like, oh, they got scoring,

951
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 4: now they need scoring. They're gonna play the same way.

952
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 4: They're gonna play games that's one hundred and twenty five

953
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 4: to one hundred and twenty, but now they got two

954
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: great clutch players.

955
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 2: It didn't happen like that at all. Seats.

956
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 4: They played one hundred and twenty five to one hundred

957
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 4: and twenty games and then blew it in the clutch

958
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 4: time and time again, even after Kyrie showed up. So,

959
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 4: I guess if you're Dallas, you want to bring him

960
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 4: back because you traded a whole bunch to get him.

961
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 4: You don't want to trade your assets and then lose

962
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 4: the guy you traded for as well. Doesn't look good

963
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: to Luka Dancic either, trading for another all star team

964
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 4: mate and then he's gone, just like porzingis is gone,

965
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 4: just like everybody has been gone from the Mavericks. So

966
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 4: I think they kind of got to try and bring

967
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 4: him back, but who knows if it happens, because Kyrie

968
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 4: could choose something else.

969
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he played twenty games for the Dallas Mavericks. Felt

970
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: like it was one hundred, but he played.

971
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of true.

972
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: Listen to Kyrie's numbers with Dallas. Twenty seven points per game.

973
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: His shooting splits were fifty one from the floor, thirty

974
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: nine from deep, ninety five at the line, throw in

975
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: five rebounds per game, six assists per game, Like, he

976
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: played really well. I think the splits when he was

977
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: out there too with the MAVs, like they were really good.

978
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: When he sat, they were really bad. So it's not

979
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: like he liked was the reason they suddenly sort of

980
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: fell apart and they couldn't close out these games. It

981
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: was weird, But it's not like he shot like crap

982
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: and you know, was pouting like he was also likestive

983
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: was it was like, really he wasn't a distraction off

984
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: the floor at all in Dallas for the final twenty

985
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't know best behavior or what, but it's strange,

986
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: like do you want to like, are you convinced a

987
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: Kyrie Luca obviously mad money on those two guys is

988
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: your path forward if you're the Dallas Mavericks. I think

989
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: they're going to try it.

990
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 4: They're gonna I think they're gonna try it too, just

991
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: because the alternative is probably even scarier.

992
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: Maybe. I mean, we saw a Luca and nobody.

993
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 4: Else team for the first half of last season, and

994
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 4: it was it was no different than when Kyrie showed up.

995
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: But at least they got another guy who can shoot

996
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: a lot.

997
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: That's right and number one on the top free agents

998
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: this summer. He could be James Harden thirty five point

999
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: six million dollar player option, so he could hit free

1000
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: agency if he declines, and there are a lot of

1001
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: reports that he will yep. Any thoughts on James Harden.

1002
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: Guy's he been working out this summers? He cut again?

1003
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: Oh? No, I saw a clip of Ben Simmons he

1004
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: was working out. No way looking cut?

1005
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: Okay?

1006
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 4: Oh Man Harden, I don't know, we've heard, we're heard less.

1007
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 4: I feel like in the past week or so we

1008
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 4: heard a lot of talk about him trying to get

1009
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 4: the max from Houston.

1010
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: Him trying to get the max from Philadelphia. There was

1011
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 2: a Phoenix rumor floated a little bit but gone a

1012
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: little quiet.

1013
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: Now.

1014
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: I mean, Harden did still lead the league in assist

1015
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 4: he was still at twenty point per game scorer. He

1016
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 4: won a couple of games in the playoffs where he

1017
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 4: went from forty five, but then he completely disappeared in

1018
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 4: the biggest moments, which has been the case with Harden

1019
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 4: for basically the entirety of his career. I even remember

1020
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 4: back to twenty twelve. He had one good half in

1021
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: the twenty twelve finals. He had a twenty point half

1022
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: and like a twenty six point game or something like that.

1023
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 4: So I don't know, Uh, the Sixers I think probably

1024
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 4: will bring him back just again because the alternative is

1025
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 4: not great, Like you would rather have a flawed James

1026
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 4: Harden than no James Harden and no replacement, which I

1027
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 4: think is kind of the problem with a lot of

1028
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 4: these teams, where it's like you've invested so much getting

1029
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 4: the player and paying the player that the idea of

1030
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 4: the player leaving leaves you wanting a whole lot more

1031
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 4: because you've traded death pieces alongside future pieces for a

1032
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: huge hole. It's hard to do when you're trying to

1033
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 4: win a championship, just give up twenty and ten.

1034
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: How much of the Nick Nurse Sixers press conference did

1035
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: you catch yes ready? Because he was asked about James

1036
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: Harden and he did. He skirted around answering that he's got.

1037
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: A decision to make.

1038
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: He's got a decision to make. Yes, yes, Like he

1039
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: was not like I'm pumped to have James Harden here

1040
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: and like really trying to play that card. It almost,

1041
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: if anything, he was playing the opposite card, Like felt

1042
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: like he knew he wasn't coming. That's how I was

1043
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: reading into it. But Nick Nurse was doing that throughout

1044
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: the entire press. See, like he wasn't really answering a

1045
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: whole lot, and he's getting grilled by the Sixers media

1046
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: on the Raptors media for sure. But yeah, any thoughts

1047
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: on how Nurse handled the Philly press.

1048
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 4: Well, I've never heard somebody say I don't vibrate on

1049
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 4: the frequencies.

1050
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 2: Of the past.

1051
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: What a line before, But.

1052
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 4: I'll be saying it a lot. It's the new Jimmy Butler.

1053
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 4: I have no rear view mirrors in my van. I

1054
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 4: don't vibrate on the frequencies of the past. Uh, Nick

1055
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 4: Nurse is going to have his job cut out for

1056
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 4: him here trying to get whatever team the Sixers bring

1057
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 4: back and dealing with the press from that. But uh,

1058
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 4: he's a creative guy, and I think that he's gotten

1059
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 4: a lot out of teams that aren't very talented, so

1060
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 4: he's happy to have a team that's talented but flawed

1061
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 4: to try and figure out what to do with him.

1062
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: James Harden could probably thrive in a Nick Nurse system

1063
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 4: alongside Joel Embiid. Obviously there are one of the better

1064
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 4: teams in the league. This year just ended so so poorly.

1065
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: It's so funny, Like if you caught any of the

1066
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: press conference or even the clips, like usually these hey

1067
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: we have a new coach, We're showing them off to

1068
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: the media like they're celebratory. Yeah, this was not like that. No,

1069
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: it was like, hey man, what do we do it?

1070
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: What's the answers?

1071
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 4: Like?

1072
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 2: Are we running here?

1073
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? What are we running here? Because we're tired of

1074
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: losing in the second round, so you better have the answers?

1075
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: What are they?

1076
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: And it's like oh, Like it was like like hey man, wow,

1077
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 4: he was not even over yet.

1078
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pressure is real there. We'll see how Nurse

1079
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: handles it, and we'll see what James Harden does. A

1080
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: lot of these guys on that list, like I said,

1081
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: have the option to hit free agency. I think most

1082
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: of them will. Yeah Middleton with that forty million dollars

1083
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: one f this season where he had thirty three games

1084
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: and shot poorly. Maybe not. But tell us who we

1085
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: missed a lot of other names out there? What about

1086
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: this guy? Hit us up in the comments for sure.

1087
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

1088
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 3: Tweet over.

1089
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

1090
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 4: Adam Silver spoke before the Finals, as he always does,

1091
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: giving an update on things around the league. He talked

1092
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 4: about what the All Star Game may be going forward,

1093
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,959
Speaker 4: but definitely the biggest piece of news was Silver talking

1094
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 4: about what may potentially happen to John Morant, who is

1095
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 4: currently suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies for his most recent

1096
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 4: Instagram incident. This tweet is from Tim McMahon at ESPN

1097
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 4: McMahon who just has a nice looking quote of it. So,

1098
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 4: Adam Silver on John Morant quote, we have uncovered a

1099
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: fair amount of additional information. We probably could have brought

1100
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 4: it to a head now, but we've made the decision

1101
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 4: that it would be unfair to these players and these

1102
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 4: teams to announce that decision in the middle of the series.

1103
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 4: Had a lot more else to say, but basically he's saying,

1104
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 4: we found more on John Morant. He is going to

1105
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 4: be suspended, but we're not doing it now because we

1106
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 4: talk with the players' union and nobody wants to do

1107
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 4: it now during the finals.

1108
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: This is fascinating to come out and say this. Molly

1109
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: Morrison summed up my thoughts exactly with her own tweet.

1110
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: Adam Silver basically said, I don't want to distract you

1111
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: from the NBA Finals, so I won't give you any

1112
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: information about Jaws suspendion right now. Instead, I will give

1113
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: you a cryptic and terrifying little hint that will distract

1114
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: you even more. Molly Morrison nailing it there. That's really

1115
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: what they've done here. They've made it sort of worse

1116
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: with the additional information part.

1117
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: The additional information part is haunting a little bit. Yeah,

1118
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 2: but yeah, yeah, I.

1119
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 4: Mean yes, certainly, now we're talking about it, it will be

1120
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 4: the story for now. But the weekend is coming. There's

1121
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 4: a game on Sunday, and my guess is that by

1122
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 4: Sunday after game two. This isn't a story until the

1123
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 4: suspension is announce I.

1124
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: Don't think so. And you think Silver is they're gonna

1125
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: wait this out until the finals are over. Yeah, and

1126
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 1: then a day or two later, here's our suspension for him, which,

1127
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: like we were kicking around like okay, he did it

1128
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: twice now made Silver look to be a fool. He

1129
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: probably gets twenty five thirty games. But now there's this

1130
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 1: additional information and this like basically threat like I'm not

1131
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: doing it now, but it's gonna be bad pretty much,

1132
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: so it could be worse than that. I mean, this

1133
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: could be a I don't know, could be half a season,

1134
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: could be even more than that. I guess it is

1135
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: didn't play anything.

1136
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 4: In play now, and didn't he say something along the

1137
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 4: lines of like, yeah, we don't know what's going to

1138
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 4: change his behavior?

1139
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

1140
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 4: So, Yeah, I was thinking it would be in the

1141
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 4: twenty to twenty five game region. And my estimate likely

1142
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 4: goes up after it doesn't go down, definitely doesn't go down.

1143
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 4: If it's bad enough that they're waiting until the finals

1144
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 4: is over, it's gotta be a serious right right.

1145
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because yeah, let's say it's let's say it's just

1146
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: twenty games and they just come out and say he's

1147
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: been suspended court of the season. You know, here're the

1148
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: reasons why he's taking the steps, why we hope he

1149
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: gets the help, blah blah blah blah blah. I feel

1150
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: like we move on from that pretty quickly and we

1151
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: can still focus on the finals. But I'm with you

1152
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: that this makes it sound like it's going to be

1153
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: quite extreme. Yeah, either this new information whatever this means

1154
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: that they've uncovered, or just the severity of the punishment,

1155
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: and it's like, whoa, he's just spent it for a year,

1156
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: and then that's a huge, huge story, obviously a face

1157
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: of the league and stuff like that. So yeah, we'll see.

1158
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: I guess we just wait until the finals are over.

1159
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine you're Grizzlies fan right now. There are

1160
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: seasons like, yeah, hanging in the balance. Yeah, your next season.

1161
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1162
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 4: I saw people speculating that if the Celtics hadn't come

1163
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 4: back in their series, that we got this news during

1164
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 4: the week between Wow, who knows, yes, maybe maybe, yeah,

1165
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 4: I don't know, but uh, yeah, we're getting an announcement

1166
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 4: what forty eight hours after the.

1167
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: Finals do you think silver announces it while he's handing

1168
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: the Larry O'Brien trophy to uh through the heat, Yeah,

1169
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: gives it, hands the trophy over to the owner of

1170
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: the team that wins, and then says, well, I have

1171
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: the mic while I have your attention here. I promised

1172
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,879
Speaker 1: you a couple of weeks ago to give you John

1173
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: Morenz suspension. Yeah, we'll see. All right, let's end this

1174
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Drop podcast with some rapid fire fun. Trey has the questions,

1175
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: We've got the answers, including yourself.

1176
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love to ask myself a question, as Ramona

1177
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 4: Shelburne detailed for ESPN this week, when Nikola Jokish decided

1178
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 4: to get serious about his diet, he gave up soda, beer,

1179
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 4: and snacks while playing video games, but he was allowed

1180
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 4: to orange juice and a couple of bites of his

1181
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 4: Serbian mother's home cooking only when she visited. Though, Oh,

1182
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 4: don't you be mailing me cookies, mom? Fellas, what's something

1183
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 4: you'll always make an exception for skeets?

1184
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting, you say, Jokic gave up soda, snacks,

1185
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: and beer. I will not be giving up a beer

1186
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: when I sit at a bar if I ever sit

1187
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: at a bar, I feel like I have to order

1188
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: a drink, even if I'm just going to eat. Yeah,

1189
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: and you're sitting at the rail, it just feels like, Okay,

1190
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: pour me a beer. What I'm here for exactly? I'm like,

1191
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: you're working there, you know, so I will never I

1192
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: will always make an exception, even if I don't want

1193
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: the beer, even if I shouldn't drink the beer, I

1194
00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: gotta have one.

1195
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 3: But you can at the bar if you like to

1196
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 3: sit at the bar, exactly, exactly right. That doesn't have

1197
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 3: to be a beer. Kid doesn't care.

1198
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: Any It could be anything.

1199
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 3: But you're not ordering a pepsi or a coach.

1200
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: No, No, I can't just say I'm just having a

1201
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: water with my wings. It's gotta be a beer. I'm

1202
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: sitting here because there's a You're right, it's just great

1203
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: to have a drink at the bar, put the game on,

1204
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: or talking to your you know, your bartender, talking to

1205
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: the bars beside you.

1206
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 3: I love going to the bar with my wife, Like

1207
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 3: if it's just two of us, just sit at the bar,

1208
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 3: sitting next to each other, without being weird about sitting

1209
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 3: next to each other.

1210
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: You know what, I mean it's the best. I you know,

1211
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: we were just in well, I guess a couple of

1212
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago for the Boston Marathon, I went with Jared

1213
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: and then Nora and then Jared's wife, so the four

1214
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: of us and we did some bar hopping because we

1215
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: stuck around Boston a few days after the race. We

1216
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: sat at the bar a lot all of you. Now

1217
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: you might say four too many.

1218
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: But it worked.

1219
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's just it's just livelier exactly.

1220
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1221
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just is not as.

1222
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: Like you sit at a table. It's immediately a little

1223
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: more stuffy. No matter the type of place, it just

1224
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: becomes a.

1225
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 2: Little too formal, exactly. Yeah.

1226
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, bar no rules, stand up, damn right. You gonna

1227
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 3: stand between Beth and Jared for a little asks, you know.

1228
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: Actually, then you fold the conversation with bartenders people beside you.

1229
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 1: So we do a lot of that and it was great.

1230
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: I love it.

1231
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: JD, what are you making an exception for?

1232
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, peanut M and m's uh fat pills. In other words,

1233
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 3: trying to I'm trying to, you know, I don't like

1234
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 3: to have them in the house. They're they're a problem

1235
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: for me because I fucking love them.

1236
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: They're so good.

1237
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: Peanut m and ms. They're good best eminem easily.

1238
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's not even close. God damn. But when

1239
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 3: I go to a movie, when and I don't go

1240
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 3: to the movies that often, but I got a peanut

Speaker 4: him sell some DJ gear, most importantly like a soundboard

1299
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,480

1300
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 4: would love to be out dancing. You hear the DJ

1301
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 4: press the button and instead of an airhorn, it says.

1302
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 2: Could you dig it.

1303
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: Like that?

1304
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: I dig it?

1305
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:22,439
Speaker 3: I love that song.

1306
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 2: Turn my head falls up.

1307
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: All right, great ideas for shak Taylor.

1308
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 4: Swift fans are reporting post concert amnesia because they don't

1309
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 4: remember being at shows from Taylor's Eras tour because they

1310
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 4: were so hyped up from being there that they forgot.

1311
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 2: They were there.

1312
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 4: Okay, is this real? This is really what they're saying. Wow,

1313
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 4: They're like getting so into the concert, they're.

1314
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 2: Like, wait, she played that song. She played blank space? Sure,

1315
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 2: she played blank space.

1316
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: So it ends and they're like they can't remember a

1317
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: thing having the time in my life. Wow.

1318
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: All right. What's a dubious diagnosis that you suffer from.

1319
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: Skeets Well, sort of goes hand in hand to the

1320
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: street racing talk from yesterday's pod two Feet Too Furious.

1321
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: I suffer from walking fast syndrome. I walk fast. I

1322
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: always have, hopefully always will. And it's not by accident.

1323
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 1: But I don't do it on purpose. I just have

1324
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: an energetic gait to me energetic gate and so you know,

1325
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: it pisses people off. My wife, my wife, excuse me.

1326
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: Definitely had times before like can you slow down? Like

1327
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: like either walking the dog together or walking anywhere, you know,

1328
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: but it's it's real. I know there are people out

1329
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: there just like me.

1330
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 3: So you're not going for strolls ever, you would never stroll,

1331
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 3: not really never.

1332
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I walk the dog all the time. But yeah, dog

1333
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: got energy exactly exactly.

1334
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 3: And saying, hey man, could you well, that's funny you

1335
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 3: say that.

1336
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: You know these hot days are in Atlanta. Maybe it's

1337
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: her second walk of the day. She starts dragging, but

1338
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: I've left her behind.

1339
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 2: I'll pick you up.

1340
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: I'll go get the car.

1341
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 4: I don't mean to call your credentials in the question here,

1342
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 4: but are you counting every time you walk as a

1343
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:12,439
Speaker 4: street race?

1344
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: No? No, no, I'm just say they go hand in hand, right,

1345
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: they go foot and foot, they go, they go foot

1346
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: and foot. Good stuff.

1347
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, JD. What's a fake medical condition you have?

1348
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 3: Mine's in amnesia as well, and it's uh, whenever I

1349
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: ingest anything like asparagus, I forget and then I smell

1350
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 3: it and I go, what the hell is happening? You know?

1351
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 3: Or beats same thing even more alarming.

1352
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: You forget what you have eaten?

1353
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, or even like occasionally I've been experimenting with like

1354
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 3: CBD and weed to try to counter get rid of

1355
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 3: my headaches kind of thing, and then I'll forget that

1356
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 3: I that I ingested some and then I'm like, I'm

1357
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 3: having a this is it. This is my aneurysm, and

1358
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 3: this is It's finally over. This is how I leave

1359
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 3: this mortal coil. And then I go, oh, yeah, right,

1360
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 3: incredible about thirty minutes ago.

1361
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: So that's so, I guess it's getting rid of your head.

1362
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 3: Because you're thinking about chilling out and then and then

1363
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 3: freaking me out immediately. So that's not working. So I

1364
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 3: gotta figure something else, maybe yogat or something.

1365
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1366
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Do you drink enough water?

1367
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 3: I tried to.

1368
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I piss a lot. Okay, so that's good.

1369
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: It's good championship hydration.

1370
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: That's right. Light enough.

1371
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 2: I got pool drainophobia.

1372
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 1: Pool drain of phobia.

1373
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 4: I am terrified to touch a pool drain, like at

1374
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 4: the bottom of a pool. My mom told me when

1375
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 4: I was young, like, you know, probably a fake story

1376
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 4: about like a kid getting their finger caught in the

1377
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 4: pool drain and drowning or their hair getting stuck hot.

1378
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I love to go down and touch

1379
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 2: the bottom of the pool.

1380
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 4: It's like, uh, probably my second favorite activity at a pool,

1381
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 4: first one being cannibal Yeah so just like you and

1382
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 4: walking fast, they go hand in hand. Yeah, you do

1383
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 4: a sea ball, you go down to the bottom and

1384
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 4: touch it. But I will not touch those tiny little grates.

1385
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 3: Man.

1386
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 4: I don't think my fingers are gonna get stuck, but

1387
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 4: I don't want them to.

1388
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: What about stand on them? No way?

1389
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 2: Wow, even worse tiny toes.

1390
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: She instilled that.

1391
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 4: That's all right.

1392
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Afraid of the pool? What'd you call it? Filter?

1393
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: I guess poor drainophobia?

1394
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,360
