00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: gonna discuss the crazy final day of the NBA regular season.

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna do some mini play in tournament previews because

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: we now know those matchups, and later we're gonna recap

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: how we did on this year's over under win total predictions.

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Very good, not great, Bob Rough year for your boys.

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: We'll break it down a little bit later. But we

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: had two more Wedgies in a record breaking Weggie see

33
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: in what a way to end the regular season. First

34
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: on Friday Night, Weggie number seventy two. At first, you think, okay,

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: that's Kelly u Bray Junior's Weggie. I mean he's the

36
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 1: one that shot it with the hair. He got a

37
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: two face hair on him, Harvey Dent style. But then

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: we get the replay here from the broadcast and you're

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: really gonna see Pacers big man like a Potter stick

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: it there.

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: Probably interfered with it for being honest, but.

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: That's his Weggie and then on Sunday Hawk's rookie Asa Noule,

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: it was a little easy sort of layup attempt.

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: Got it.

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: So seventy three Wedgies Barry Bond style. Can we get

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: to eighty? That's the real question. Now, we count the

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: play in games here, and we obviously have the playoffs,

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: and you've done it before.

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: You said, like, on average, what is it like four or.

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Five May that's high?

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: That's high?

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so three maybe? On yeah, two to three.

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: It's only about eighty plus games in a playoffs. We

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: usually get one every twenty games. So okay, yeah, seventy

55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: three wedges is a lot, though, that is just simply

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: a lot. Whenever I think seventy three, I think Dennis Rahman, Lakers, Jersey,

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: the only guy to everwhere seventy three. Now I'm gonna

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: think of weggies the most in the modern day of

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: Weggi history.

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, great stuff.

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get into the wild final weekend of the

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: NBA regular season. The playoff picture is complete following yesterday's

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: fifteen games, all thirty teams in action. Let's show you

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the bracket here on YouTube, because again we know the

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: four to five and the three six matchups. In the

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: West it's Lakers, Rockets, and Nuggets, Wolves, And in the

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: East it's Calves, Raptors and Nix Hawks, and then obviously

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: our number one and number two seeds. They're waiting to

69
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: see who they play, and we'll get to the play

70
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: in matchups a little bit later. We even know the

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: games schedule of this weekend coming up for the playoffs. Yeah,

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: we got the Raptors kicking it off against the Cavs

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Game one. That's right, Raptors always at one o'clock on

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: a Saturday. Not on MBATV anymore though, No, no, no,

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: we're on Prime baby.

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's come on, man, Yeah, that's a big app.

77
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: So it goes uh yeah, that game wraps Calves, then

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: it's Wolves, Nuggets, and then Hawks Knicks, and then Rockets Lakers.

79
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: That's the Saturday and the Sunday you see there with

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: the higher seeds waiting for their teams. But that's the breakdown.

81
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: So I want to know, though, what was the biggest

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 1: takeaway for you from the final day there or final

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: weekend of the NBA regular season.

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: Well, the Hawks deciding they're fine playing the Knicks. Essentially,

85
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: they decide we're not going to play our guys against

86
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: the Heat. Even though they could have controlled getting up

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: to the five seat if they want, they also may

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: have decided, you know what, it works two ways for

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: us to get to the five seat if we win.

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: They they don't necessarily care about that because the Orlando

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: Magic all they have to do is beat the ce

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: team of the Boston Celtics, and we'll also get the

93
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: five seed. Yeah, seemed that way easy.

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: Because it just for those who don't know, you would

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: have in theory maybe had a three way tie between

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks, the Raptors, and the Magic. And in that scenario,

97
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: the Hawks will get the five seed because they are

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: the division leaders of the Southeast.

99
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they spanked the Magic when they played them

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: this year, so they would win the seed over them,

101
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: and they jump up to five. So they thought, you know,

102
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Orlando playing against the Boston team, not playing against Tatum,

103
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, No, no, Derek White, no Peyton.

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: Bridges their top eight guys.

105
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's lots of guys and then Boston comes out

106
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: and gives it to them. What a fun game that

107
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: was to see three guys get their career high in

108
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 2: that game. In Shireman Luca Garza and Ron Harper Junior.

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: Those three guys can buy it to score eighty four

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: points a thirty, twenty seven and twenty seven. So they

111
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: win and the Hawks are fine playing the Knicks. And

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: now I know it is it's kind of a coin

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 2: toss for the Hawks and who they would have played better,

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: I know, the Cavs or the Knicks. But at the

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: same time, I think you'd rather play the Caves, and

116
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: I think the Raptors got to be super excited people

117
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: going in game. Yeah, Raptors definitely did not want to

118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: play the New York Knicks, who dominate them.

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: They haven't beaten them in like thirteen games or something.

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: The Knicks own the Raps a bit more of a

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: chance maybe against the Cavs.

122
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, we'll get into the preview of Hawks

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Knicks either way. That was my biggest takeaway, just seating wise.

124
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was kind of surprising, I thought, because

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: I I don't know, I just think it's better to

126
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: be in the four or five. Yeah.

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, in general.

128
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, for for this, I mean, second round, you're playing

129
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: the Celtics most likely, So that's surprising to me that

130
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: the Hawks decided to do that. But you know Trey

131
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: Young has owned the Knicks and Madison square guard. Wait

132
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: a second, you think he'll show up?

133
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: Interesting?

134
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a great question.

135
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: So I see it's for Trey Young to watch the

136
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: Hawks take on the Knicks. Great place to watch a game.

137
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: It's amazing of his best career moments there nowhere shows up.

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 3: He's like, you like me and I'm chair for the Knicks.

139
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: For Trey Young, a heel heel turned. I don't know

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: what that is actually called, but yeah, that would be

141
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: pretty interesting. I thought. Also interesting, the Nuggets tried to

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: do their seeding thing. They tried to get out of

143
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: the three seed. I believe they rested their guys against

144
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: the Thunder on Friday night than they did rest most

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: of their guys on Sunday against the Spurs as well.

146
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: Jokic did have to play, which we'll get into for

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: awards qualifications, but they just couldn't do it. It was

148
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: Spurs also tried to beat the Nuggets. It really felt

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: like yesterday. They were playing pretty hard. Daron Fox had

150
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: three wide open looks from the corner under a minute

151
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: that would have made it a closer game. I think

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: it was like an eight point game. At the time,

153
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: and it kind of came down to can help Fox

154
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: make one of these three. He could not do it.

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: San Antonio went thirty and four to end the season

156
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: oh and three against Denver. Included in those thirty four games,

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: it was also Mark Jones's final broadcast from ESPN, but

158
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: he said he's taken his seasoning with him, my seasoning

159
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: with me. You'll see me again. So spicy that so

160
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: allude to that spicy man. That was the interesting seating stuff,

161
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: and that was the only thing that was interesting. These

162
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: games are meaningless on the last day of the season,

163
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: but all NBA players are good. Oscar sheebwe give him

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: a real game ball twenty nine points, seventeen boards. Ryan

165
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: Nemhart had twenty three assists most of the season. Eight

166
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 3: of them went to John Pulakida's hit eight threes. Who

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Baylor Baggins we talked about thirty seven and seven looked insane.

168
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: He was wearing a black undershirt and black leggings with

169
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: white jerseys. Yeah, like he had to go rob a

170
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: bank afterwards. Jan Bearringer twenty four and thirteen and seven blocks.

171
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: Buddy Healed hadn't played double digit minutes since being traded

172
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: to the Hawks. He went for thirty one points and

173
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: seven threes in their big time loss. Joe Ingles played

174
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: thirty two minutes fifteen points in ten assists.

175
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like there's Mickey Mouse March happening. But

176
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: then it really picks up on the last time.

177
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: April. Yeah, nine April Capella hit his first career three. Yeah,

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: that's awesome.

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Games for that guy.

180
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: Does that Dan Raydon have a three pointer in his career?

181
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: He has to half court shots, yeah, underhanded for warm up,

182
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: so you know he's more comfortable out there. But yeah,

183
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: if you're in the NBA, you're one of the best

184
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: basketball players on earth. But unfortunately there's a lot more

185
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: guys who are in the NBA who are ahead of

186
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: these guys, but they're like, well freaking dust off Joe Ingles.

187
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable to me that he had a double double

188
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 3: in an NBA game in twenty twenty six.

189
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: It's wild to go back to the magic though. Man,

190
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: what a perfect summation of their season, right just you know,

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: just needed to win to guarantee a home playing game too. This,

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean we've sort of glossed over that a little

193
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: bit you know, maybe had a chance to get into

194
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: the actual playoffs, needed some help, but at very least

195
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: they win that game against Boston, they at least have

196
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: a home playing game and two really chances to then

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: get in. But now they're on the road and have

198
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: to go to fill it in the eight seven matchup

199
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: and they're playing nobody on Boston and they are trying

200
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: to win sort of because they played Desmond Bane. They

201
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: start him so he can have the achievement of all

202
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: eighty two games started. Okay, cool, Then they take them

203
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: out because they're like, I will win this, that's all problem.

204
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: And then at somebody like, oh crap, you ever start stretching, man,

205
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: we gotta get you back in there. It's like it's

206
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: just so embarrassing that they lost, like nobody has any

207
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: faith in them, I think to advance, maybe even get in,

208
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: just because they seem to have quit. It's been pretty brutal.

209
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: And then the Spurs, that is an odd decision to

210
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: go back to that resting their guys here, you know,

211
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: versus the Nuggets just resting some of them a little

212
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: bit at least a wemb pat factor and not trying

213
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: to bump Denver out of their side of the bracket.

214
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: That's just a perplexing decision. I think on their part,

215
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: maybe they're like whatever, not afraid of anybody, but they're

216
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: likely playing them in the second round. Now, I don't

217
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: think that's all that's smart for a team that's sort

218
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: of got your number right now. And Dylan Harp got

219
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: hurt too, I mean there's that, but I don't think

220
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: it's too severe. The thumb injury. Not a good weekend.

221
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't think good decisions there by that.

222
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: No, Thunder are extremely happy though, considering those two guys

223
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: are playing in the second round. Those two teams are

224
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: playing in the second round, so the first time that

225
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: they'll see him in the conference final. No, their playoffs

226
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: starts a little bit tougher than last year, I will say,

227
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean not much. They destroyed Memphis in the first

228
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: round last year before going on to beat Denver and

229
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 2: then Minnesota. This year is a little.

230
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: You think Phoenix or Portland and gives could be the team.

231
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: It's better than Memphis, But then the second round of

232
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: either the Lakers or the Rockets, you know, it's what

233
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: it probably equals out to what happened last year against

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. Either way, it starts a little tougher, but

235
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: still they get to go wait until the conference finals

236
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: against one of those teams, so they win.

237
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Another fun thing yesterday, the Timberwolves welcome back to Kevin

238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Garnett to the Target Center. Been there in like eight years.

239
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: Obviously had some friction with the previous relationship.

240
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so.

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, tapping it up with Aunt. They had

242
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: to like pause the game for a second so Ant

243
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: could get back to the bench. That was cool, otherwise

244
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: meaningless game good.

245
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 3: Yes, they need to have a relationship with the best

246
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: player they've ever Yeah, yeah, that should be a given.

247
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 2: And that's definitely happening with a Rod and Mark Laurie.

248
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: That's happening.

249
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh.

250
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: The actual playoff matchups, we know about the four, five,

251
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: and three six in both conferences. We will do our

252
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: playoff previews starting tomorrow, so we'll space out those out

253
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: over the week here in terms of breaking those down,

254
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: looking at the X factors, making our.

255
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: Predictions and all that stuff, just thedox factors. Yes, yes, yes,

256
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: that was a crazy looking bracket. I think so. Yes,

257
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: because it has the like the play in tournament in

258
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: it as well, So you've got like it's more of

259
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 3: a flow chart than a bracket, because you got the w's,

260
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: you got the l's. If you lose the nine to

261
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: ten game, you don't even get thrown off the screen,

262
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: just like you know.

263
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: What's going on.

264
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 3: So it's sort of a bracket. It's also like a roadmap. Yeah,

265
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: you're a roadmap to the next three months of our lives.

266
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Buckle up.

267
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Okay, we had some other like sort of news here.

268
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean you slipped it in here. Webin Yama and

269
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Jokic clinched eligibility for postseason awards, so they will be

270
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: on MVP ballots. They will be you know, in Wemby's case,

271
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: winning Defensive Player of the Year, and of course both

272
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: guys all NBA I assume First Team. So that's good.

273
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: I guess it did count that NBA Cup Finals did

274
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: count for they just they just decide whatever they want

275
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: with his shit. By anyway, he got there sixty five

276
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: games played if you count the NBA Cup Final. Then

277
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: Yokich played enough minutes in the finale Sunday to also

278
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,119
Speaker 1: hit the requirement.

279
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: Thank god.

280
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: Test Well, it's good for Jokic considering he's going to

281
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: make another All NBA team. He's made one since every

282
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: year for a long time, since eighteen nineteen, so he

283
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: should make another one. I like that factor just to

284
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: have him there. Wemby winning a Defensive Player of the Year.

285
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: We all know that I wonder, does that hurt his

286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: MVP chances just a little bit? Everybody who's got the

287
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: ballot saying, Okay, Defensive Player of the Year, check, but

288
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: you shall wait another year to win MVP, my friend,

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: I wonder just because he wins another award, But it

290
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: still makes for a very fun MVP discussion for everybody

291
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: who's got their spreadsheets, their ledgers. They're trackers of everything

292
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: that's going on in the NBA and how you got

293
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: to decide between your Wemby or your Shay obviously, or

294
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: your Jokic. So that's fun.

295
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like Shay's gonna win it, but I'm

296
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: sort of fascinated to see who does finish second.

297
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: Here is it?

298
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: Is it Yokic or when Yama? I think right now,

299
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I think it is going to be Jokic. With the

300
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: way he ended the seasons, true, I mean the twelve

301
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: game win streak he was putting up in say numbers,

302
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: leads league and rebounds antsses per game. Yeah, we'll see.

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: And they don't even have their ballots yet. They're not

304
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: coming out until Friday. They're going to get them because

305
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: they're waiting on this whole Luca protest or whatever, the

306
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: arbitration dispensation.

307
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, cool.

308
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a lot longer here until

309
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: they even have their ballots to fill the one hundred

310
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: media members.

311
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're waiting just to see if Luca is

312
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: going to be on the ballot, ye to make him

313
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: an All NBA player, which he'll get, just to have

314
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: him in the MVP, just to see where he finishes,

315
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: because he's not waiting it no, no either way.

316
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: Just whether he'll be on the list. Yeah, exactly what

317
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: will his name be eligible to be clicked. I thought

318
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: a nice point by our good buddy good Times Tim

319
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: bond Times on the Hoop Collective this morning, saying that

320
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: because these ballots don't come out until Friday, now Konka

321
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: Nipple has the play in lights to prove his Rookie

322
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: of the Year case. It's such a great point. It's

323
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: an advantage for sure. Yeah. I mean, Cooper was awesome

324
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: the last month of the season. You know, I think

325
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: Con was definitely winning it in the middle of March,

326
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: but maybe Cooper is the guy now. But Con gets

327
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: one last chance to prove that he is the Rookie

328
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: of the Year. So I think think it's kind of interesting.

329
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: Of course you're not you're not supposed to consider it.

330
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: You cannot watch it.

331
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: But bunch ups is right.

332
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: If he goes for thirty five against the heat.

333
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: To a yeah, like the people, of course are going

334
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: to count it in their consideration for the Rookie of

335
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: the Year.

336
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: So he's played eighty one games on the ballot, is

337
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: going to say eighty two because he had a play

338
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: in game. That's another another check.

339
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: Nope, no, it should not obviously. In fact, if you

340
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: are a medium eighty four, if you're a media member

341
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: and you have a vote nine ten, you don't have

342
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: to play twice.

343
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah twice, yeah, eighty three. Yeah, okay, if.

344
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: You're a media member, you should be able to watch

345
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: that game. Blackout, I agree, blackout for anyone voting on

346
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year.

347
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's weird. This whole arbitration thing is taking multiple days.

348
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: Wasn't it just done? Now? Why does it take so long.

349
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: What's the arbitration all about it?

350
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: I'll pally Adam just aside, yes or no? You're going

351
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: to say. Yeah.

352
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: So, Luke and his agent are filing an extraordinary circumstance

353
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: grievance to appeal the sixty five game threshold required for

354
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: all NBA eligibility. And this is why the ballots are

355
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: not going to be able till Friday, because his wife

356
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: gave birth and he missed two games because of that.

357
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that doesn't you're asking.

358
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: No, I'm not asking that. I'm asking why it takes

359
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: so long. I don't want to be done because everything takes.

360
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: Forever with the freaking league.

361
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: Man, it's pretty easy. I mean, there's there's no games

362
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: going on. You could just arbitrate and just get it

363
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: over it. How long does the arbitration take?

364
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: He should be able to figure it out now.

365
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

366
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 3: May have to go.

367
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: I got to see the baby. Adam's got to see

368
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: the baby. That's why we're gonna look at it real.

369
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 3: We don't know his wife doesn't live here. It would

370
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: be all life for all we know. That's such a

371
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 3: great place because this was ago. It doesn't make any sense.

372
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense. I did, like they're going

373
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: to say yes, yeah, exactly, or keep you out because

374
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: because his partner had a child, a former partner. I

375
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: guess I like to say, maybe that'll factor endo. Yeah,

376
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: we got to keep the nuclear family strong. Victor Wembaniama

377
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: wearing a headband for like a quarter and a half

378
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: on the bench last night. I thought that was pretty

379
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: funny to see. That's another fun thing about the last

380
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: game of the season. People will go nuts with their looks.

381
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: So a bunch of the Spurs who don't wear headbands decide, hey,

382
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: we're gonna try a headband, and Wemby included. I didn't

383
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: really clock at first that he was wearing street clothes.

384
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: I thought he was just like in Spurs warm up

385
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 3: geary hat it on like a gray sweatshirt. But then

386
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: like zoomed out, he's wearing khakis. So he just wore

387
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 3: like a casual bench headband for I don't know, forty

388
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: five minutes. Probably did you see him hold way back?

389
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: Did you see him try the smelling salts? No, he did.

390
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: He did. It was like real, like somebody from the Tobium.

391
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: The crowd was filming him and he tried it on

392
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: the bench and whoa, yeah, crazy reactions.

393
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he had the headband on. That's why I

394
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: saw it.

395
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: Funny, that's surprising. I wouldn't think he would just I

396
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't think that he's that type of person.

397
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: For the body.

398
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 2: He's just maybe he's a cerebral guy. I wouldn't think

399
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: he would factor that in. Ever.

400
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: Then again, the counter is he seems like the top

401
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: of guys, like I'll try anything once, I'll experience it. Sure,

402
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: So maybe he's like yeah, maybe he does it all

403
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: the time.

404
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: For all we know. Jacob Toby.

405
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: Mikhail Bridges consecutive games played streak reached six hundred and

406
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight Sunday season finale against the Hornets after the

407
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Knicks wing played all of twenty three seconds before leaving.

408
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, Bridges fouled out or he fouled purposely

409
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: on the first defensive possession, subbed himself out, but the

410
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: streak is extended. Hilariously, we debated whether this streak is

411
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: a a sham or not last year because he did

412
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: it last year too. In fact, this is the third

413
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: time in last four seasons he's done this where he's

414
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: just played a couple seconds and then left the final game,

415
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: but the streak is still intact.

416
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm shammed free in my valuation. That's not a shame

417
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: to play over six hundred games. That's all I think

418
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: about is it doesn't matter how many he's played, like

419
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: if it's six hundred and forty, six hundred and fifty.

420
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: But when you get to these big round numbers of

421
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: hundreds of games, that's an accomplishment.

422
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: So you're fine with like the final one doing this.

423
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: You don't care in this, Yeah, in this particular situation,

424
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it matters.

425
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually okay with it too. If you play

426
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: eighty one games in today's NBA, you should be allowed

427
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: one silly one at the end. Okay, we're begging guys

428
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: to play sixty five games.

429
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: And it definitely seems like there are fewer guys who

430
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: played eighty two games than the they actually play. This year,

431
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: there are eighteen guys who played eighty two games. After all,

432
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: the ridiculing of nobody playing eighteen guys is a decent amount.

433
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: It's a decent amount more than last year.

434
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: It's almost one per team. I mean it's almost one

435
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 3: per yeah.

436
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year it was it was there was less,

437
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: so there's something you know, there's only eleven last year

438
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: in comparison.

439
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: Okay, look, he is very invested in this streak.

440
00:20:59,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: The iron Man.

441
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: He was the only active starter in the game that

442
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: meant nothing to the Knicks because their playoff seed was determined.

443
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: And like I said, this is the third time in

444
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: the last four years that Bridges has played, you know,

445
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: less than thirty seconds in a game. Last season it

446
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: was six seconds.

447
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: Jeez.

448
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: This year he went twenty three seconds. So I hope

449
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: he's not tired. Three years ago with the nets he

450
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: lasted four seconds.

451
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 3: Oh that's a short one. Yeah. Yeah, So it all

452
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: comes down to who wins the tip exactly exactly. He

453
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: should have got a shot up. He should have demanded

454
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 3: the ball. If we win the tip, I want the

455
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: ball right away, chuck it up and then file.

456
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: And this is my favorite part. We talked about Wemby

457
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: the NBA Cup that counted. He doesn't get to count

458
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: his NBA Cup final. Bridges, who actually played in eighty

459
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: three games. So that's actually absolutely they do not care.

460
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: They just whatever they want change their mind with these.

461
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. It also it last or when he was traded, right,

462
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: he played eighty three, but he also sat out a

463
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: game because it was like the day of the trade, right. Whoever, Yeah,

464
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: it was a weird thing. But yeah, that is a

465
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 3: that's just literal nonsense. But look A C. Green did

466
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: it too. He got popped in the face at one

467
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: point and just played like a minute per game wearing

468
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: a mask.

469
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: So this is fine.

470
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 3: It's it's literally a guy who wants to play so

471
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: much that one game of season he just subs in,

472
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: runs around and then laughs as he leaves.

473
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah I like it, okay, and and he's got a

474
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: long way to go to still catch a C.

475
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 3: Green. It's like, oh, it's like what six seasons, six

476
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: or seven seasons. I think it's an eternity.

477
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: Ace Green related AJ Green. This was surprising to me.

478
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Most most threes in a season in Milwaukee Bucks history.

479
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Surprised by that.

480
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: And Ray Allen held the record still from oh one

481
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: oh two.

482
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot.

483
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: That's a long time in today's NBA. Yeah.

484
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. He had eleven on Friday to get him close.

485
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 2: Eleven threes great in one game, and then passed him

486
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday and.

487
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: Kon Ko Nipple did keep the most three pointers made

488
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: record in the season here for this season over LaMelo Ball,

489
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: I think by one. They went one two there for

490
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the Hornets for total three point was made.

491
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 3: So he's a rookie.

492
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: First rookie'd ever do that was appointed that the Washington

493
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Wizards clinched the worst record in the NBA on Friday

494
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: night with a one forty to one seventeen loss to

495
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: the Heat. So Washington ended up finishing seventeen and sixty five,

496
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: losing their last ten in a row and twenty six

497
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: of their last twenty seven to tumble to.

498
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 3: The bottom of the standings.

499
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: So the league's bottom three finishers by record, it's Washington, Indiana,

500
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. They're each going to have a fourteen percent

501
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: chance at the number one overall pick. All three of

502
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: those franchises will have a fifty two point one percent

503
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: chance at a top four pick. That's especially meaningful to

504
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: the Pacers, who could lose their pick to the Clippers

505
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: if it drops to five to nine range. So the

506
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Wizards three years in a row man first NBA team

507
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: to lose sixty four games in three consecutive seasons dynasty,

508
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: they're the worst.

509
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: That's a tank dynasty.

510
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: That really is. The Vancouver Grizzlies lost at least sixty

511
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: three games in each of their first three seasons ninety

512
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: seven ninety eight, and then the Process era seventy six ers.

513
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: They matched that futility from thirteen fourteen to fifteen sixteen.

514
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: But the Wizards now have it.

515
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Hope we all took the under. We shall see, we

516
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: shall see.

517
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure we all did, but.

518
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah there was. I think somebody took the over.

519
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: Guys did Oh yeah, yeah, I think so.

520
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: I think we'll find out in mere minutes. The Pacers

521
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: story is interesting. Yes, they could lose their pick, but

522
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: the fact that they got this pick back after they

523
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: initially traded it for Pascal Siakam, part of the Pascal

524
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: Siakam trade that got traded to the Pelicans for brandon Ingram.

525
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: And then the Pacers said, hey, Pelicans, let's make a

526
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: little swap, trading their pick in the twenty twenty five

527
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: draft for this pick in the twenty twenty six draft.

528
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: And then they end up crappy and could have the

529
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: number one pick or whatever happens. The Pacer story is

530
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: is a great story.

531
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Hawks are happy here. The Pelicans obviously,

532
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: they're seventh right now in the tankathon standings, so they

533
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: have what a six point eight percent chance at the

534
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: number one pick that would go to Atlanta and the

535
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Thunder we're going to get another lottery pick in case

536
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: you're curious, the Clippers, who are currently twelfth where they

537
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: are in terms of the seating, Yes, they're in the

538
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: play in but they're twelfth overall at forty two and forty.

539
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: They have a one point five percent chance at the

540
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: number one pick, so Thunder could win the draft, or

541
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: seven point one percent chance at the top four, which obviously,

542
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: these guys are pretty good in this year's draft, which

543
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: is why for the first season in NBA history, we

544
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: had eight teams with fifty five plus losses.

545
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 3: Fifty yeah, yeah, fifty yeah.

546
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Man, that's a lot of teams.

547
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: Wow.

548
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: I think that impacted our over under predictions.

549
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty wild.

550
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: We'll get to those later. And then final piece of news,

551
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: let's get to this. Doc Rivers is departing as head

552
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. So Rivers who signed a

553
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: deal worth approximately forty million dollars when he was hired

554
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: in January twenty twenty four. He's got another season remaining

555
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: on his contract, but per team sources, he will be

556
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: paid out on that final season. Though there was some

557
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: talk about him maybe just moving to another role within

558
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 1: the organization. I'm thinking that's not happening. Rivers released a statement.

559
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like he's hanging around. He's gonna go golf.

560
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: Wow. And first he's got grandparents Day. He's got two grandparents' days.

561
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: Did he asked to get to he said one the

562
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 3: twenty first seven grandchildren.

563
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: He's old.

564
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, forever man been in the NBA forty seven years,

565
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, I know.

566
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: Crap anyway, not a surprise here, task but he's gone

567
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: after two and a half seasons where they compiled a

568
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: ninety seven and one hundred and three regular season record

569
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: and lost two series to the Pacers in the playoffs.

570
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: Pacers. Yeah, they did have a great rivalry with the Pacers.

571
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 2: They did.

572
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there's some injuries.

573
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's the first year and then arguably Dame the second.

574
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: So forty it's not like Monty Williams the type of

575
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: contract with the Detroit Pistons and moving on. But that's

576
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: a lot of coin to get compensated at the end

577
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: of it. I thought when you said that, I didn't

578
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: hear this part. I thought maybe he gave up that

579
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: last year. Here you go.

580
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: But he's got to spoil seven grandchildren.

581
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, spoil them. They can buy a house

582
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: for each of them, each one of them. Great for him.

583
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna go chill or do TV. He's not gonna

584
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 2: hang out with them. He's not going to be part

585
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 2: of the front office. I don't see why you do.

586
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: Back to the podcast game from Doc Rivers Doc and Austin,

587
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 3: the Daddy Daddy.

588
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: Austin podcast, don't call it that put a pot with Austin.

589
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: He was podcasting with Bill's Simmons. But I guess they're

590
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: all played by the same guy. Yeah, he probably should

591
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: have ever went back to coaching. Yeah, probably not. I

592
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't wish this on anyone. That's the hardest thing anyone's

593
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 3: ever done. Yeah, those are the first things I thought

594
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: of when I saw that Doc was officially gonna be gone,

595
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 3: was I wouldn't wish this on anyone, the long lastedness

596
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 3: of that infographic meme. And the second thing I thought

597
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 3: of the Bucks just throwing a party and dancing after

598
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: they fired Adrian Griffin. He was thirty and thirteen at

599
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: the time, and Doc Rivers leaves the Bucks under five

600
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: hundred as a coach with zero playoff wins.

601
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: Crazy, but he did deliver, like you said, a lot

602
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: of awesome quote Boards Cray, Yes, he did so. Mollie

603
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Morrison had a nice round up. He had the it's

604
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: been harder than I thought, Doc Rivers, he had the

605
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wish this on anyone that's cold. He had

606
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: the We had some guys here, some guys in Cabo,

607
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: and everybody seems happy except for me. Boards seasons, there's

608
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: probably another ten of them.

609
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: He's quotable.

610
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The players were chomping up and down in

611
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: Game eighty two during play So the players are happy. Yeah,

612
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: theretocks out so much. Yeah yeah, but it's like the.

613
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: Last day of school.

614
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: Man.

615
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: There's an eric name has a great write up at

616
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: the Athletic The season from hell Yeah for the Milwaukee Bucks.

617
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: And it's like mid March is when like one veterans like, yeah,

618
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: that's when I checked out. Doc was blasting the veterans

619
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: for not giving enough effort this season. It's like, okay, yeah,

620
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: maybe they definitely checked out at some point during the season.

621
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: It was at the trade deadline when they thought Giannis

622
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: was gone and the season was over. But then he

623
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: came back and they just never gave an effort. But

624
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: come on, man, it's like you're talking about Kuzma and

625
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: Miles Turner here.

626
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

627
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: So I don't think it's one hundred percent on Doc,

628
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: but it's also he's been good in the past when

629
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: there's not talent around the team getting more out of him.

630
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,239
Speaker 3: He didn't get more out of him this season. So

631
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: the next thing for the Bucks to figure out has

632
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: Gianness played his last game in walk Yeah.

633
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: He never ended up playing at the end. That was

634
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: a debate we had and he didn't. And I'll be

635
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: honest to go back to our good friend Tim Bontemps.

636
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: He has an article on ESPN this morning, Yannis vents

637
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: about Bucks won't rule out return. Tons of Yannis quotes

638
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: in it. I was like, fuck, no, I'm not reading this.

639
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: I do not care good this guy says right now,

640
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: it's to.

641
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: Him, he says, he's quoting.

642
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. That is the weird part is the extension can't

643
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: be offered until October first, so he can't accept it.

644
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: And if he was going to accept it if you

645
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: do believe the aside, which many people don't. Most people don't.

646
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: He would have to look at it and say, whoa,

647
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: those are some good trades that you made in June

648
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: and July and just hang out until October first before

649
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: he signs that extension which has on That's very unlikely.

650
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: Also, you know, can they get lucky in the draft?

651
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: It was gonna part of a part in this, Yeah,

652
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: and what they could get.

653
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sure feels like, yeah, it's his trade value

654
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: did get diminished just a little bit. But anyway, besides that,

655
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: I'm surprised some of the quote boards weren't Doc Rivers

656
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: calling out shams. Yeah, call it out, just throwing Cam

657
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: Thomas's name out there, essentially without saying that Cam Thomas

658
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: was saying stuff. I mean, he was just throwing out stuff.

659
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: He had a lot of funny things.

660
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: I think those ones I gave you from Molly though,

661
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 1: those are more like great generic ones you can use

662
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: in any situation. Yes, oh yeah, let's get to the

663
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: play in tournament that's running Tuesday through Friday this week,

664
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: affording the top six teams in both conferences. Plenty of

665
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: rest here before the first round tips on the weekend.

666
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: We can show you the play in tournament schedule. Here,

667
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: the teams that finished seventh and eighth in the standings

668
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: face off for the number seven seed. Teams have finished

669
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: ninth and tenth. They go head to head, and then

670
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: the winner of the nine to ten game faces the

671
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: loser of the seven eight game Friday night with the

672
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: number eight seed on the line. We've been doing this

673
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: for a while now, twenty twenty one. But this is

674
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: funny the schedule. We've got a nine to ten game

675
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday.

676
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: What in the world.

677
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: Well, that's because the seventy six Ers are hosting that

678
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: eight seven game against the Magic even though no one

679
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: thought that was going to be a real possibility. And

680
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: there's a Flyers game already booked at Philly on Tuesday night,

681
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: so they got to swap them.

682
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: There is that a playoff Flyers game.

683
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: They got close soon at the same time, I assume.

684
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: So so anyway, it's Heat Hornets and then Blazers Suns

685
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night, and then it's Magic Sixers and Warriors Clippers.

686
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: So let's just go through these quickly. You can make

687
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: some predictions if you want. Let's start with the number

688
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: ten Heat versus the number nine Hornets again loser eliminated.

689
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this one? Are you excited

690
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: and who do you got?

691
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely excited?

692
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the place should be bumping in Charlotte.

693
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: Let's go. It's a mere four four hour yeah wow, yeah,

694
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: four hours away cruise, just a mere four Yeah, I'm

695
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: super excited. I think fans should be super excited to

696
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: watch a Charlotte Hornets team that plays a little different.

697
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: They got so many different things in that guards, set

698
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: up picks, you see a pick and flair coming from

699
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: Conkin Nipple. Then you'll see a Lamello ball hanging on

700
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: one leg shooting balls. I am super excited for that.

701
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: I'm puzzled on the heat side. They just have not

702
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: been together for a month, five weeks, six weeks. So yeah,

703
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: I'm just super excited to watch Charlotte and see if

704
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: they can take them down and get into the next

705
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: round of the diagram slash whatever you call the playoff bracket. Yeah,

706
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: the roadmap.

707
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: I think it kind of sucks that this is a

708
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: nine ten game. I would much rather this be seven

709
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: eight and give both these teams a chance to advance

710
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 3: to the real playoffs, because everybody wants to see the

711
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 3: Hornets play in the actual playoffs. They're pretty much Eboy's

712
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: scond favorite team right now. Meanwhile, the Heat are playing experts.

713
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 3: They've gone to the finals through the play in tournament,

714
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: they got a lot of postseason experience. You look at

715
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: the seven eight teams, it's Orlando, who we've talked about,

716
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 3: fields just completely demoralized, ready for the season to be over.

717
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 3: Philadelphia doesn't have embid right now, so they're gonna be

718
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: starting Bona probably in a playoff series. It feels like

719
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: the Heat and Hornets would have a better chance of

720
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: making some noise in a first round series than either

721
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: of those teams will. So this, to me is the

722
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: choice Eastern Conference playing game. I agree.

723
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Do you think purple shirt guy will be in attendance?

724
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's a callback for those OG's out there

725
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: when they playackpack on in a heats on. It's right,

726
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: It's right. A guy in a purple dress shirt with

727
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: a backpack on, heckling away against Wade in the heat.

728
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

729
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: Will he be there? Yeah, I'm with you, though, I'm

730
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: excited about this one. I'll tell you what.

731
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Here's my prediction somebody scoring one hundred and forty points. Okay,

732
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't know which team it is, but someone is

733
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: because it feels like every game that he play they

734
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: either score one forty plus or they give up one

735
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: hundred and forty plus one of the other. I hope

736
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: the Hornets win, yep. I hope they have a chance

737
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: to get in, like I said, with the eighth seed,

738
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: and it will take on the Pistons, but who knows.

739
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: I mean, like he'd have experience in these like one

740
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: and done situations, had had some success. They're a weird team,

741
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: haven't looked great, but anything can happen, and one night,

742
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: shots don't fall and you're in trouble. But I'm feeling

743
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: somebody's gonnacore a whole bunch of points on one side

744
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: the other, and I think it's gonna be a blowout.

745
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 3: I think Bam will go for eighty four and this

746
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: one doesn't count. Probably, yeah, won't count, would not count.

747
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 3: A big matchup to me will be Andrew Wiggins versus

748
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: Brandon Miller. That kind of feels like the X factor, sure,

749
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: mostly on Wiggins part, like he can shut down Brandon Miller.

750
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: I would think if he's energized and given us all

751
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 3: this game, and he can also be a pretty good

752
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: scorer as well, So that's a huge matchup to me

753
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: and also kind of notable. I think that Konkin Nipple

754
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: is slumping right now, under forty percent from the field,

755
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: under thirty five percent from three in six games in April.

756
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: He's not playing his absolute best right now, and it's

757
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 3: just one game, So who knows. Whoever's hitting I think

758
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: is winning this game. I'm I'm gonna go with the heat.

759
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: I would see the Hornets win, but unfortunately, the Hornets

760
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 3: are the only team in the league this season who

761
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 3: have a better road record than home record, and they're

762
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: playing a home interesting.

763
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it feels like the heat because

764
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: that place is going to be buzzing, pun intended. They

765
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: got to sort of strike first and this one sort

766
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: of take the crowd out of it, you know, build

767
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: like a double digit lead, have to have Charlotte sort

768
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: of try and get back into it.

769
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: But the Hornets are favored by five and a half.

770
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah on Fantuel in this game, I'm gonna go Hornets.

771
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Hornets because the heat maybe Yeah,

772
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: They've just been a not a great team over the

773
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: last little bit, where the Hornets have been one of

774
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: the better teams at least over this second half of

775
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: the season.

776
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Hornets took Brandon Miller matchup is totally

777
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: Brandon Miller is such an X factor for that team.

778
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: We'll see what wig he can do. But Norm Palell

779
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: has some experience too. I mean he could come and drop.

780
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 2: He could be your leader score easily. So there's guys,

781
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: there's guys on the heat too.

782
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: The second game on Tuesday night at ten pm Eastern

783
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: is the number eight seeded Trailblazers versus the number seven

784
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: seeded Phoenix Suns. For what it's worth, the Suns won

785
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: the season series versus Portland two to one, but a

786
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of those games were missing big guys Dylan Brooks,

787
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: Devin Booker, off, the Drew Holiday. So I don't think

788
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna take too much from the season series. Phoenix

789
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: hosting TK start with you here, what are you watching for?

790
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: And then ultimately who you got in this one.

791
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: I think these are two very similar teams, actually, the

792
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 3: Trailblazers and the Suns. They both force a lot of turnovers.

793
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: They both offensive rebound quite a bit. Possession game will

794
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: be big. Both of them I think are vulnerable to

795
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 3: offensive rebounding as well. But Portland is thirtieth and turnovers

796
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 3: post All Star, So that makes me a little nervous

797
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 3: for a team that hasn't played in any big games.

798
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: Not that this version of the Suns has played in

799
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 3: big games together, but they got some big game experience

800
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 3: with Booker Brooks, these guys that have been around. Neither

801
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 3: team scores a ton in the paint, so to me,

802
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: this is probably going to be a jump shooting game,

803
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: and Phoenix has been a better jump shooting team than

804
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: Portland has. I also don't really know what to make

805
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 3: of Phoenix right now because they really struggled in March

806
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 3: and April. They were also missing Brooks for a huge

807
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 3: amount of time. Booker was in and out of the lineup.

808
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: We talked about Mark Williams' absence quite a bit as well,

809
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: So I don't really know how good Phoenix can be.

810
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: They were a better team at their peak I think

811
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: this season than Portland was, So I'm probably going with

812
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 3: the Suns here, unless you know Drew Holliday could have

813
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: a big game He's like probably the X factor to

814
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 3: me on the Portland side.

815
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: The other thing with the Suns to it, at least

816
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, it feels like they've

817
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 1: just been locked into the seventh seed, like on both

818
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: sides of them, like no movement or no worry or

819
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: concern that they would be going up or so it's

820
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: like sort of going through the motions made me a

821
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: little bit. But this is a tough one to pick.

822
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with this one.

823
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 2: Tasks.

824
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 3: Shandon Sharp is back for the Blazers.

825
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: Played over the last two games fifteen minutes I think

826
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: on Friday night and then on Sunday, So he's gonna

827
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: play I assume in this in this game on Tuesday night.

828
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: But where are you going?

829
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Suns. I think the both the Shande

830
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: Sharp and Denny Avdia factor is you know, kind of

831
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: squashed by Mark Williams playing again several games and he's

832
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: those guys are gonna have to go to the free

833
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: throw line. I think Mark Williams defense improves the Sun

834
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: side on that end. On the other end, yeah, they're

835
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: top guys, the Phoenix Suns having lots of experience, in

836
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: Den Booker and Dylan Brooks in these sort of situations helps,

837
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: you know. Obviously Drew Holiday has done that plenty on

838
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: the Portland side, but he's not their top guy, you know,

839
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: Denny is their their top guy, So I think that

840
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: factors into things. And Phoenix has been extremely consistent. Yes,

841
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: they've been in the seventh seed forever, even despite Dylan

842
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 2: Brooks coming out of the lineup and Mark Williams coming

843
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: in and out of the lineup. I think they've been

844
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 2: extremely steady. So it feels like going into Phoenix, Portland

845
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 2: will be the underdog, and deservedly so I like Phoenix.

846
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: What I like about this one is I mean almost

847
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 1: I know, like the loser this game gets another crack

848
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: at it, but it's like, I don't like their chances

849
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: again against some more veteran Warriors team or even Clippers

850
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: team led by Kawhi. So it feels like you've got

851
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: to win this one to maybe get into the playoffs.

852
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: That's how I'm interpreting it. To get that seventh seed

853
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: and then no concern obviously just to be the eight seed.

854
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: Who wants to play this thunder anyway, But you.

855
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 3: Guys want Sons I'll go Blazers.

856
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: Blazers, they've been pretty solid the last couple weeks, and

857
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 1: those wins over the Clippers down the stretch were big,

858
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: quality wins in games that we're going to decide sort

859
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: of their seeding too, So I'll go with them. And

860
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: I like sharp back takes a little pressure off of you,

861
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: and Kligan could eat inside against.

862
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: Mark Donovin versus Mark.

863
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: I about Blazers, just to switch it Uphesday Night, a

864
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: game I can't imagine a lot of people are excited about.

865
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: But it's the Magic Sixers eight to seven. There winner

866
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: earns a seventh seed.

867
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm excited.

868
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 3: I'm really excited about this.

869
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 2: I think from the Philadelphia side is where all the

870
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: excitement is. I think it's easy to get excited to

871
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: watch Tyre's Maxi take over for a quarter or two,

872
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: like you did yesterday on Sunday when you had that

873
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: monstrous third quarter. I think you could see that happening.

874
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: Pauly George is looking like poly George. He looks really good.

875
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: The way he's his handle and getting into his shot

876
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: is it's not quite enough the fifteen sixteen Paul George.

877
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: But there's great possessions out of them combined with Fija

878
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: edge coming. Yes, unfortunately they got to throw an out

879
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: in Bonnette Center. I think this team altogether quite easily

880
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: is going to win this game because they just feel

881
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: like a team out there. And yeah, the guys are

882
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: peaking at the right time. That's unfortunate they don't have

883
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: Joel Andbi. But I think this is a more exciting,

884
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: obviously team than they're Orlando Magic. But I mean it's

885
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: a team i'd love to see in the playoffs too.

886
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 3: You're Orlando Magic. Don't feel like a team?

887
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: No, this is the problem. Yeah, but this is a

888
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: close line. Fandel has it as the Sixers are favorites

889
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: by one, so basically a coin toss.

890
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: People don't believe in a six Ers team without Joel

891
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 2: and b just you know, as far as like league wide.

892
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: So that's understandable that that line's not huge. But they

893
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: should be the favorite.

894
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 3: Where you going, TK, Yeah, I guess they should be

895
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 3: the favorite. I'm going Philly just because I think of

896
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: all the guys playing in this game, Tyres Maxy is

897
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 3: the most reliable and that puts them over the top.

898
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 3: I don't like that they basically have a brand new

899
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: starting lineup that they I guess they maybe like the

900
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: last three games they've started the same lineup, but these

901
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 3: guys have barely played together. There's no depth behind Bona anyway,

902
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 3: so they don't really have any other choices. Like the

903
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: Magic definitely have more talent on their team, but it's

904
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: impossible to have any sort of confidence if you watch

905
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: last night. Even Doris Burke was disgusted by this. They

906
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: gave up that layup to I don't know Suggs was

907
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: the last guy back. I don't even know who got

908
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 3: the layup. That's how anonymous the Celtics were, and Doris

909
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 3: Burke was just this kind of effort in a game

910
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: that means a lot, that has stakes, and it just

911
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: feels like the Magic don't want to be around anymore.

912
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I'm not super excited about this game. No, no,

913
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 3: not at all. If embiid was around, you can at

914
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: least talk yourself into, Oh, here's a here's a team

915
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: nobody wants to see in the first round of the playoffs.

916
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: I think teams would be excited to see either of

917
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 3: these teams in the first round of the playoffs. But

918
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm a MAXI fan, So I'm going with the Sixers.

919
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 3: I'm also going Philly.

920
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, just because the magic of quit they

921
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: got to They're like, God, damn it. We got two

922
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: more games with Jamal Moseley, all right, just playing out

923
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: the string. Okay, final game Wednesday at ten, Warriors Clippers, Spicy, spicy,

924
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: A little playing game here, Clippers falling all the way

925
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: down to nine. Warriors have been stuck at tenth for

926
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: a while. Pissed off Draymond Green so frustrated by it,

927
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: lose are eliminated this line. We got the Clippers' favorites

928
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: at home with the wall there minus four and a half.

929
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 2: Well, they just beat the Warriors, so you just play.

930
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 2: They played yesterday, so without Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers still

931
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: handled them. So it's a huge favorite. I'm surprised it's

932
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 2: not a little bit bigger. Did Draymond Green sit this

933
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: one out just so he could get ready for Kawhi

934
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: in game number eighty three here? Maybe? But the Clippers

935
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: are clearly the favorite. I wonder how many shots Steph

936
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 2: Curry will take in this game. Let them rip many, many,

937
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: many shots, thirty plus. Just do it, Steph.

938
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: I wonder how many minutes he can play. They've already

939
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: said he's not playing over thirty two minutes. I think

940
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: they're like capping a lot of This is what they're

941
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: coming in saying, like they're capping their guys in a

942
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: must win playing game.

943
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 2: So, oh, that's unfortunate. That's a shot per minute. Good luck.

944
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 3: I mean I I wouldn't feel bad if I was

945
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 3: Steph Curry shooting the ball every time his last game

946
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 3: of the season, So give it all you got. But

947
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 3: he's played like twenty five to twenty nine minutes in

948
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: the four games since he's come back. And if they're

949
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 3: saying he's only going to play thirty two, then I

950
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: don't give the Warriors very much of a chance here.

951
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: The Clippers do have better depth. It doesn't matter all

952
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 3: that much in a one game series here. I do

953
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: think it's kind of tough having to play game eighty

954
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: two against the team you face in the play in,

955
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with the Clippers. I don't really

956
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: know who's gonna guard Kawhi. I can't imagine O'bi Draymond. Yeah,

957
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 3: it'll be mountains probably. Yeah, that sounds small against Khi.

958
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: He's gonna eat whoever exactly. They don't have a matchup

959
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: for him. It is kind of what I'm saying. Yeah,

960
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 3: so you'll see some dre just to bang him around. Sure,

961
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 3: but Kawhi sat on Sunday, but he had his own

962
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: personal record of fifty seventh straight games of twenty or

963
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: more points going into that game.

964
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: The guy is gonna hook in game eighty three. He's

965
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: gonna have to do it for two games to get

966
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: him to the playoffs. Unfortunately for them, I think they

967
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: would have rather been in the two seven lineup to

968
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: play the Spurs than play the thunder because I think

969
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: in that locker room they say, we can do this.

970
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: You know, the young guys have never done it before

971
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: us old ass guys. We can try and give it

972
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: to them. While if they play okay, see, I mean

973
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: they are the under a key underdog. They're the underdog

974
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: in either one of those series. But I'm sure they're

975
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 2: gonna take out the Warriors in this game.

976
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you, guys.

977
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: I got the Clippers winning that game and get one

978
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: more crack ad whoever loses between the Blazers and the Suns,

979
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: which could also be a pretty entertaining game. I think

980
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: would be a close sort of coin flip, and they

981
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: would have home court advantage over LAC. All right, that's

982
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: the play in and again we'll start doing the playoff

983
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: matchup previews a little bit later this week. Let's take

984
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: a break and then we'll recap how we did on

985
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: our over underwin totals.

00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: tools you need to back them up. Saw today Andrew

994
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: Wiggins minus nine thousand to score five or more points

995
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 3: in the playing game, like that action minus ninus nine

996
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,359
Speaker 3: thousand to get five or more?

997
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: Are there any other lines with Wigans like ten or more?

998
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: If there are ten or more's minus five hundred?

999
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, what do people look at that and say,

1000
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to bet on Wigans scoring five or more?

1001
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 3: Or they just minus one O eight for fifteen or more. Okay,

1002
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 3: now we know we're talking. Now, Okay, Wiggins is gonna

1003
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 3: have a good game. That's what we're getting at West

1004
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 3: three hundred twenty or more.

1005
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: So is there a plus number for under five?

1006
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 3: I'm just looking. I could get it.

1007
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 2: It's just it's hundred.

1008
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: A lot of people are to same game parlor. That's

1009
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 3: probably it. If to sort of the parlor here.

1010
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: Okay, good luck to Andrew.

1011
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's one of the most popular bets. No,

1012
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 3: No minus nine thousand pretty good though, pretty good odds

1013
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 3: on that one. Vandul puts player research right at your fingertips,

Speaker 3: Dancing's over. It's time to play all seriousness now, all right,

1021
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 3: it's time to.

1022
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: Hold ourselves accountable. Here I got the final results for

1023
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,919
Speaker 1: how well we did in our NBA preseason under win

1024
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: total picks we'll go through each guy, and I'm not

1025
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: going to go through team by team and win total

1026
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: by win total, but I'll give you the recap here now.

1027
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 3: Trey Kirby, I'm starting with you because.

1028
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: Last season, Trey Kirby was hot.

1029
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 3: He was cooking.

1030
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: Last season with the over unders, you hit sixty six

1031
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: percent of your over under picks. He finished twenty and

1032
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: ten last season.

1033
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

1034
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: That's very good record. Four to two on locks too.

1035
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: People are writing about that.

1036
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, people were talking about it.

1037
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: This season. Let's go fell back to Earth like you

1038
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: were Artemis two Baby splash Down. Trey got just eleven

1039
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: over under predictions correct, eleven and nineteen. So from basically

1040
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: flipped it all, almost flipped it twenty to ten to

1041
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: eleven and nineteen this season.

1042
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 3: I mean that's one way to look at it. I

1043
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: look at it as over five hundred across a long

1044
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 3: two year.

1045
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: Spanish That's right, that's good. Massage it like that. You

1046
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: only hit one lock Warriors under nice forty six and

1047
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: a half, well under what they win with like thirty

1048
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: seven games.

1049
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that was a nice one.

1050
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: You were wrong on a lot of locks. Obviously, the

1051
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: magic over fifty and a half. The Knicks over fifty

1052
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: three and a half. They could have done it on

1053
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: Sunday if they gave a damn and wanted to try

1054
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: and get that victory on a cambre too. So they

1055
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:29,280
Speaker 1: finished at fifty three wins. You took Philadelphia under forty

1056
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: three and a half, so you know, they just got

1057
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: over a couple of games. You took the Clippers over

1058
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: forty seven and a half. They were more like a

1059
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 1: five hundred squad and you took and we talked about

1060
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: it all season long. You locked in the Sacramento Kings

1061
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: and thirty four and a half wins and it was

1062
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: over by week three.

1063
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 3: That one's on me. I'll take that one. So tough one.

1064
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: So again, you were fantastic two years ago. This year

1065
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: eleven and nineteen. Okay, let's go to to money mil

1066
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: Us here. Last NBA season.

1067
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 2: Lack of money.

1068
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, last season was very rough for you.

1069
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, your.

1070
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: Scorecard you had only eleven or twelve correct. There was

1071
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: this weird thing where you didn't make a bulls prediction

1072
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: on the podcast. So whatever you got eleven or twelve right, it.

1073
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: Was the Chicago. I bet the Chicago anyway's going.

1074
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, it doesn't matter. This season was about

1075
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: the same. Oh twelve correct picks twelve and eighteen overall

1076
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 1: one better than Trey.

1077
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: The line makers are on point this year. I mean

1078
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: they're good.

1079
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, d ask you were ozero and six on your locks.

1080
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, your Eastern Conference locks.

1081
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 3: This was a wild one.

1082
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: You took the Hornets under twenty six and a half.

1083
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you locked that one in very wrong. You cond

1084
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: did it?

1085
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you went. You had some confidence in the Chicago

1086
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 3: Bulls over thirty.

1087
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 2: Two and no I could see it happen.

1088
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, you're right. I got to thirty two wins, right, yeah,

1089
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 3: they were just that yeah, barely lost. And then and

1090
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 3: then another barely lost point the.

1091
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: Knicks fifty three and a half. You went over, so

1092
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 1: they got finished with fifty three wins. In the West,

1093
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: you took Dallas over forty one and a half.

1094
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: I thought that was happening. I thought any names was

1095
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 2: playing basketball that was a factor at the beginning of

1096
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 2: the season.

1097
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: You took the Nuggets over fifty four and a half

1098
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: short on that one, yeah, ok, yeah, and then you

1099
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: took the Pelicans over thirty one and.

1100
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 2: A half Zion. Every year they started zero to six,

1101
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 2: and they had lost three of those games by thirty

1102
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: or more points. To start the season, Zion lied to me.

1103
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: Okay, so not a great year, but one better than

1104
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: trade this year. As for myself, last season, I did

1105
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: lose two over under picks. On the final day, I

1106
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: fell to fourteen and sixteen overall. So it was like

1107
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: on that final day I could have had a winning record,

1108
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: but I ended up with a losing record. I finished

1109
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: three and three on my locks. That was last year.

1110
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: This year good news, bad news, good news, I finished

1111
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: with the best record out of the three of US.

1112
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: Bad news. My record was thirteen and seventeen. So you

1113
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: got eleven right, you got twelve right. I got thirteen right,

1114
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: And like Trey, I only got one lock correct. I

1115
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: had Miami over thirty seven and a half, so I

1116
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: got that one otherwise wrong on Milwaukee over forty two

1117
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: and a half wrong on the magic like U tre

1118
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: fifty and a half, I had Minnesota over forty nine

1119
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: and a half. They fell one short of that. I

1120
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: think I swerved and took the under on OKC under

1121
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: sixty two and a half. They cleared it by a

1122
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: few games. That one was funny because it was like

1123
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: they started twenty four and one, so it looked like

1124
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: the dumbest bed of all time. Then it got real,

1125
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: got a little interesting. It's like, whoa, I actually might

1126
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: hit this. They hit the over and uh like tass,

1127
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: I blame you actually talking about Zion's body and all

1128
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: this shit.

1129
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 3: I took the Pelicans over thirty one and a half.

1130
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 2: It's a lot to expect the team to go thirty

1131
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 2: two and fifty. They couldn't win thirty two games. They

1132
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,479
Speaker 2: went twenty six and fifty six.

1133
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: So look, that's a bad year for your boys here.

1134
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,959
Speaker 3: But we hold ourselves accountable. We'll be better. We'll be better.

1135
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna be better in the playoffs, okay when we

1136
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: make our predictions.

1137
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 3: But that was rough.

1138
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: And I saw Simmons and Zach Lowe and House when

1139
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: they did theirs. It was a lot like this wasn't

1140
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: It wasn't good the you know ball guys. I know

1141
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: they had a bad year for them as well, so

1142
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: we weren't alone in this, but man, it still sucks.

1143
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: Not even one guy here when five hundred.

1144
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough, tough. Not thing we didn't like partner with

1145
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 3: the gambling company.

1146
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,719

Speaker 2: I think, yeah, we always do the East, so we

1214
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: should change it up. I mean, the Nuggets playing the

1215
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves for the third time in four years? That's cool?

1216
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 2: Or is it cooler to say Nicks, Hawks, fun or

1217
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:54,480

Speaker 1: have to check out YouTube to see what I just did.

1233
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 3: Because that made no sound. No, even the licking of

1234
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: the fingers didn't make a sound, and people were probably

1235
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: thinking why was he like?

1236
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:44,040

1237
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:51,400
