00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: On today's show, On today's classic, let's talk a little

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: feeble World Cup because it is over no more four

64
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: thirty AM Games. Thanks everybody that's been joining us on

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: playback throughout the last couple of weeks. We had a blast,

66
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: and we start with the champs. We'll get to Canada

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: beating America and now news breaking of all the superstars

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: locking in for the twenty twenty five Paris Olympics. We'll

69
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: get to all that a little bit later in the show.

70
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: But let's start with unbeaten Germany defeating Serbia for their

71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: first World Cup gold.

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: Task.

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 2: We can talk about the game, Germany's run, whatever you want.

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're starting with Germany with the champs, because

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be far more ornery a

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. It'll be a little

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: bit juicier. It'll be a little more salacious when we're

78
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: talking about the US and them failing to get their gold.

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: But Germany deserves all the credit. Our Canadian man. There's

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: a Canadian ty, Gordy Herbert leading that championship team as

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: their head coach. While they were celebrating, he had some beers, apparently,

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: and he said, don't mind if I flub a few

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: words here or there. I just had some beers. Actually, Philippines,

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: I love you, but you need to get a better beer.

85
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: I love how he called him out. That's a real

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: Canadian number one drinking too much. A number two has

87
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: good taste in beer. The San Miguel beer not doing

88
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: it for him anyway. Detis Shruder obviously was phenomenal. But yes,

89
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: he was great and he deserves the MVP. But this

90
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: team was just a team, I said, Andreas Oopst Andreas

91
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Oast was the guy who ousted the Americans from that

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: semifinal game. He was phenomenal as their shooting guard. Franz

93
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: Wagner I thought was the best German coming into this tournament,

94
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and he was great yesterday in the finals. Although he

95
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: didn't have a great shooting night, he was just far

96
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: more forceful wetman team man who looks like Rick Fox

97
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: slash Larry Nance Junior slash Tabo Suffalosha. The great thing

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: about these international teams they have so many guys who

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: can perform. And they survived a quarterfinal game where Dennis

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Shruter was four of twenty six, and they go into

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: the semis. They handled the Americans obviously in the finals

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: that came down to the wire. Unfortunately, hearing afterwards, just

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: like hearing after the fact that all the Americans want

104
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: to play in twenty twenty four, you hear the bug done.

105
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Bogdanovich was sick going into this game and his second

106
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: half was was poor. He just he sort of disappeared,

107
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: although that kind of happened a little bit throughout the

108
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: tournament and they needed him, although they had a Ramovich

109
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: who was awesome the Serbian Demetrius d Mattiiti's doing a

110
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: good job against Shuder, but Shuter just took over. That

111
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: last play. Oh that was I don't know, I don't

112
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: know was that to carry it couldn't tell so fast,

113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't see to the hoop.

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: And then to finish off the glass with a twenty

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: seconds to go. That yeah, ice the game and gave

116
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: Germany their first World Cup gold. Here what'd you think, TK?

117
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: I think we saw a lot of Germany this summer.

118
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: You know, they played Canada twice in the friendlies, they

119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: played USA and the friendlies, and every time we would

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: watch him, we'd come away saying, man, this is quite

121
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 3: the team. They really play well together. They'd got everything

122
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: you need. Then they went undefeated in the actual World Cup,

123
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 3: super impressive, Like I'm a task. I thought Franz was

124
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 3: probably their best player on the hole. And then when

125
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: it was fourth quarter, when it was winning time, Shrewter

126
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: was just basically unstoppable, usually getting to shots unless he's

127
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: got Davias Burton's on him. Burton's the shrewder stopper. The

128
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: only guy who ever got them forced the miss out

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: of him, it seemed like, but man, Yeah, that take

130
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: to the hoop when he just hit the gas. That

131
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: was like he looked like the fastest player on earth

132
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: when he was getting to the hole. There, so great

133
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: stuff from the Germans. They played basically perfectly, completely taking

134
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: Serbia out of the game in the third quarter and

135
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 3: that's really where they won it up until Shrewd slammed

136
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: the door.

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, shooter twenty eight points nine to seventeen shooting. Franz

138
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: did a bit of everything nineteen points seven boards, three

139
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: steel to assist. I thought Germany did a great job

140
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: of containing Nikola milotinoff they're big guy, the Serbian big

141
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: guy one on one because they have the guys, they

142
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: have Tye, they have some of these other big guys

143
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: on Germany squad that they didn't have to run a

144
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: bunch of doubles at him. You know, Canada struggled with

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: him like he was a beast in Serbia's victory over

146
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Canada in the semifinals. But they just did a great

147
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: job and to run this World Cup gauntlet undefeated, including

148
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: a win over Team USA, and then to bounce back

149
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: or let at least keep that emotional high running. We

150
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: see so many times in these where someone does knock

151
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: off like an elite team like USA, and then they

152
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: have a bit of a flat game to follow that,

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: because it's like, wow, maybe you just like played the

154
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: best game of your lives and you moved on into

155
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: two point victory and you're going nuts. But two days

156
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: later to turn around and like take care of a

157
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: very talented Serbian squad like that was really really impressive.

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: I think speaks to the coaching and just the makeup

159
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: the roster of this team. Like you said, all these

160
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: guys contributed every game we watched. Shruder was the start,

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: and we'll get to him winning, you know, tournament MVP,

162
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: but every game it was like four or five, six,

163
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: seven guys helping out in some way. So really impressive stuff.

164
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a perfect tournament. It is crazy. Even

165
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Shruder was saying, my goodness, how did we do that?

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Not only bouncing back after a semifinal game or just

167
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: continuing to produce after our semi final game, which could

168
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: have been they're high, but bouncing back in the first quarter,

169
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the Serbs looked phenomenal. They looked like they were playing Canada.

170
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: They were running it down the German's throat. They were

171
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: getting to the glass. They have a ton of good players,

172
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: a ton of good shooters. Yeah, they went away from

173
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: their big and Milatinov a little bit, which was kind

174
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: of surprising, played under twenty minutes.

175
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: That was a mistake, I think. Yeah, he dominated in

176
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: the tournament and then they were running petrosp out there

177
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: for the majority of the fourth quarter. That was pretty surprising.

178
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: It was surprising. Yeah, when we watched him, he's Miltinov

179
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: was a beast. I don't know if they just wanted

180
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: to keep up with the speed a little bit of

181
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: the German team, but because they kind of play outside

182
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: in your Tice's every single wagner that they have and

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: those guys. Can't say enough about those guys. Tice, even

184
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: though his Staton line wasn't great, he was great against

185
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: the Americans in the semi final. Everybody, Zach Blanga came

186
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: in who was an NBA player and somehow was blocking

187
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: shots all over the place. Great stuff from him, didn't

188
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: I didn't think he could be an NBA player, But

189
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: now now you have to look at him and say

190
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: he could help the Lakers. Sure, I mean, sure they

191
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: need struders, but anyway, he doesn't do that, but blocking

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: shots giving fouls doing his job.

193
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: What did you think of Serbia's run here? Another silver

194
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: here at the World Cup, but obviously missing some notable names.

195
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: Even in this game they lost a guy Doughbrich, wasn't

196
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: it who rolled his ankle early yep and had to

197
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: leave the game, and he's a key player. And they

198
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: lost who was.

199
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: The guy that lost his kidney Semon? Yeah?

200
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: Right? And then missing players including of course you know,

201
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: two time MVP Jokic, but still making it all the

202
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: way here. What do you think overall?

203
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: I thought they were great and I assume, well, I

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, we'll see with what team USA

205
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: gets from commits here. We're seeing the legends want to

206
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: play in Paris. But you would have to think Serbia

207
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: is going to be one of the top three favorites

208
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: heading into the Olympics next year because their team is

209
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: so good as is, and they're adding Nikola Jokic, so

210
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: that should be impressive. Not to mention Mitisch, is that

211
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: the guy that's playing out the Thunder this year, who's

212
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: also supposed to be really solid. But basically Serbia was

213
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: a half away from winning the gold here. They had

214
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: a couple of players feel the pressure. I thought, specifically

215
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter in Guderich and Nikola Yovich, who

216
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: had a really solid tournament, and then in the fourth quarter,

217
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: the decision making for Yovich was not there, and then

218
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: Guderich was just like throwing the ball around. He was

219
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: really really struggling. A good twenty minutes from those two guys,

220
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: really a good ten minutes from those guys. We might

221
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: be talking to Serbia as the gold medalis.

222
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and were tried a chance to tie the game

223
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: after a Bogdanovic steel. I mean they were right, they're

224
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: in this game, and he bricked it. And ye Jovich,

225
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: I mean you saw him after the game. He was

226
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: in tears, So I think he was feeling like I

227
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: botched this one in a bad, bad game.

228
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but.

229
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: What you think about their chances moving forward?

230
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: Like Trace talking about, Yeah, it sucks for Yovich as

231
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: a young player, did some good things, did the punching

232
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: in the hallway against when they beat Dylan Brooks and

233
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Team Canada. He had and he did good things with

234
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: the ball, but when it was time to shoot and

235
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: score and make the right decisions, that didn't happen. So yeah,

236
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: just deflating and looking back the way that Bogdan Bogdanovic

237
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: was held out most of the fourth quarter, it makes

238
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: sense because he was sick. But watching it, we're wondering

239
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: what the hell was going on. He had a great

240
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: first half, but again going through the tournament, he had

241
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: a lot of great first halves. In the second half,

242
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: tend to not shoot as much, and maybe that's because

243
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: there was more eyes on him in the second half.

244
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: But he didn't play a lot in the fourth order,

245
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: didn't touch the ball basically at all in the fourth quarter,

246
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: and that is their best player. So up and down.

247
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: A great performance for them, but as you said while

248
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: we were watching it, they kind of deflate or they've

249
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: had some disappointing performances over the last I mean decade.

250
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: They're always right there. That's the thing. This team could

251
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: have had many gold medals. They are like always one

252
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: of the final four teams in a lot of these tournaments,

253
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: and they've come up short a few times here. But

254
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm with UTK the other guys. Yes, add Joker to

255
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: this team just currently constructed, they would be the I mean, well,

256
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: I know we're gonna find out that every American SuperStar's

257
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: about to play the carriage, but they should be one

258
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: of the favorites, like hands down, if you throw him

259
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: on this squad, and I think they will be well.

260
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: I mean they made it to the finals fairly easily,

261
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: like you're talking about a letdown game. Lithuania had one.

262
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: They beat USA and then Serbia kind of smoked them.

263
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: I thought mil Tanoff really ran through the tournament until

264
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: this championship game. And that guy's like a fringe NBA talent,

265
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: not a guy who could be a three time MVP

266
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: heading into the Paris Olympics. So yeah, they've got a

267
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: really big team. They've got a team who's got a

268
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: lot of experience. And then you look at a guy

269
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: like Yovic. He was pretty good I thought in this

270
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: tournament up until the championship game. He'll be a year

271
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 3: older next year, with another year of NBA experience, So yeah,

272
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 3: they're gonna be tough to beat. And then yeah, have

273
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: of ram huh Alex Abramovich. That guy was not phased

274
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: by the moment. No oh, that was awesome watching him

275
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: instrewder basically go back and forth with each other.

276
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: He like fueled the comeback, like single handedly. He gets

277
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: sixteen in the in the final frame in the final

278
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: ten minutes, he knocked down a big three to cut

279
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: it to like a like four point game. The place

280
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: was going nuts. The Serbian crowd was awesome. Yeah, he

281
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: had a lot of fight left in him and nearly

282
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: sort of dragged him across the finish line, but it

283
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: came up a little bit short. What about Poku? Is

284
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: he in the mix for this Yeah? Serbian nationality. I

285
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: don't know if he'll be making this team because we've

286
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: they have a lot of guys. As we've just went through.

287
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: They got a lot of guys. Yeah, melotine of a

288
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: huge guy. The Nets now hold his rights. Kind of

289
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: makes that sense on that Nets roster. Although he just

290
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: signed in Greece, so he ain't coming He's gonna have

291
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: fun in Greece. He's not coming over for a long time.

292
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was drafted by the Spurs and now

293
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets hold his rights. You know, with a Nick

294
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Klaxon as their center, sure they'd love him. Yeah, a

295
00:13:59,160 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: lot of talent.

296
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: Dennis Shruder, as I said, was named FOBA World Cup

297
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: MVP of the entire tournament. He averaged nineteen point one

298
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: points per game, six point one assists, two boards, and

299
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: nearly one and a half steals per game. Funny like

300
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: run when you think about it for Shruder because prior

301
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: to the whole event, he's in a public spat with

302
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Mavericks forward Maxi Kleiba about playing for the national team

303
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: after Kleba skipped it last summer, and you know, Kleiba

304
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: didn't play on this World Cup winning team here Shruder

305
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: later apologized, But there's that. Then within the tournament, Shruder

306
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: gets into it with Gordy. There's like a tiff on

307
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: the sidelines. You know they're heated, and someone alluded to

308
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: it too. He had a four to twenty six shooting

309
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: game and they survived. That was a quarter final win

310
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: I think against Latvia. Yeah, that was Berton's there, so

311
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: he nearly shot the Germans out of that game, like

312
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: a really brutal game. Foura twenty six. That is, that's

313
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: tough to do in the FOBA game. But all that

314
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: said was pretty damn special, especially in these big moments.

315
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: So for him to get this makes sense.

316
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: What a siding by the wraps. He looks great in Foeba. Obviously,

317
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: it was an incredible run. He shot fifty two from

318
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: three and he's not a three point shooter, and teams

319
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: are going to leave him open. In the NBA, it

320
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: is a different line. We'll get to Dylan Brooks. Can

321
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: you do the same thing in the NBA. It's a

322
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: it's a big question, but yeah, he's he's phoeba shooter

323
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: for a reason. Yeah, and they played together. The thing

324
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: I liked about his finals game, we're watching it all together.

325
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: It was quiet in terms of him picking his spots.

326
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: You see a lot of bad Shrooder games where he's

327
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: just like, I'm taking over and it's just a parent.

328
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: He's the show. But I thought it was a quiet

329
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight just picked his spots absolutely perfectly in this game.

330
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I guess if you are going to have a

331
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: criticism of Shrewder in the NBA, it would be that

332
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: he's a little too overconfident in his abilities and maybe

333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: overstates his place on a team, and if he were

334
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 3: a fruit he would be a prickly pair. But you

335
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: needed this on the German team where he did have

336
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: to be the best player. Quite often it was between

337
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: him and Franz and like your sand Skeet's in the

338
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, it was gonna be Shrewd and he does

339
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: not lack the confidence to take the shots, and he's

340
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: been around the team, so he should have a little

341
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: bit this way of saying, MAXI Kleba, you weren't here,

342
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: Get out of here, coach. Welcome to the team, but

343
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm running the show here, So I don't know. Things

344
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: are different between the FOEBA and the NBA world And

345
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: you can see that when a guy like Dennis Shrudter

346
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: is one of the three best players in the tournament.

347
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tash, you were pretty high even before any of

348
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: these feb World Cup games even happened. The idea of

349
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: the Raptors, you know, replacing Van Vliet so to speak,

350
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: with Shreoter on a much much, much more affordable contract.

351
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: So you are you even more excited about the idea

352
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: of him leading the Raptors at point? Or do you

353
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: not think you're going to translate FOEBA shooter to Raptors

354
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: NBA shooter as much?

355
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: It's it's peak shrewder right now.

356
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like their jerseys are sponsored by them.

357
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nice, nice peak call. I was fine with

358
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the Raps going in the direction that they went because

359
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I think we've seen peak Fred. What Fred did for

360
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the reps. Winning a championship phenomenal, But I was okay

361
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: going with Shrewder, who is looked at as almost a

362
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: stop gap in the NBA. Unfortunately, that's that's his his spot.

363
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: We saw him here in Atlanta. He came up up

364
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: against Jeff Tigue in the point guard's role and he said,

365
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: this is my role, this is my spot. And as

366
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: Trey said, maybe he's a little overconfident. He needs to

367
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: just be part of a team like he was for

368
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: this German team. That final was phenomenal, but this run

369
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: was spectacular. Maybe because Franz went out. Franz was gone

370
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: for four games in this tournament, and Shrewder had to

371
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: step up and everybody did. So he's a different guy.

372
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: FOBA players are a different guy. I'm not gonna say

373
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the three point shot is huge. They're

374
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna leavehim open. Will he be able to hate him?

375
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: He he didn't. He hasn't in the NBA.

376
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: So I can't believe he shot thirty three percent from

377
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: three in this tournament. What it just seems like, yeah, exactly, No, no, no, no,

378
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying here.

379
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I got the numbers wrong. Yeah, I said,

380
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: I said fifty two percent, the old two point three

381
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: point collin. Damn it, I was so wrong. I thought

382
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: I thought he shot fifty two percent from three.

383
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: I've seemed like he shot one hundred percent in the

384
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: fourth quarters though, or anytime they needed a big time

385
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: three pointer, Shrewd was hitting it and it was from deep. Man.

386
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: The fever line throws me off. Yeah, I'm like, whoa,

387
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: that is a deep shot, and it's like maybe a

388
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: half step outside of the NBA line. But Shruder can

389
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: easily shoot thirty three percent from three in the NBA.

390
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: He's done it for his career.

391
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 2: I think here's what Raptors fans need to get ready for.

392
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 2: Shrewder is a bit of a roller coaster here. There

393
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: are going to be games you can lock this in.

394
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: Now he goes for thirty five, he wins the Raptors

395
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: a game. People are going crazy. Dennis Shrewder just saved us,

396
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: you know, for Prime Minister. And then we're gonna get

397
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: like we even saw the tournament. There'll be some four

398
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 2: for twenty six is or there'll be some you know

399
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: four for nineteen's and some bad turnovers and and maybe

400
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: getting a little two shot happy at the end of

401
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: a game and it's not falling. I just think that's

402
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I think there's gonna be ones where he

403
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 2: you know, quote unquote loses you the game, and then

404
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: many other ones where he wins you the game. And

405
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: I guess you just hope, you know, the winning outweighs

406
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: the losing, because I think that's just sort.

407
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: Of where he is at this point totally. In this tournament,

408
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: his breakout game was against Australia when when they needed

409
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: him five of nine from three, next game six from three,

410
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: two A, five from three, four, seven for three. Oh

411
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: for eight for three, right, and then three or six,

412
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: three or seven and two for six. Yeah, if a

413
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: RAPS fans Shrewder at twelve mil versus Fred at thirty

414
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: five mil at that point of their careers, that's that's

415
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: the the question, that's what you're wighing. And yeah, well,

416
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: hopefully Shrewder has ridden his twenties here where things were

417
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: a roller coaster for sure in the NBA, to a

418
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: point where he's late twenties. He's a papa now you

419
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: saw him kissing his son during this tournament. Maybe he's

420
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: just a little bit older. And more mature and can

421
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: he be able to run the team. But he's going

422
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: to get into it. I'm sure like if if Nick

423
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: Nurse was still there, they'd get into scraps. Like like

424
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: if if if we were talking about Esh the one

425
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: no dunks host, that he'd get into a fight with

426
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: the one raptor that's going to get into a fight.

427
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Most likely it's Dean A Shrewder. He's he's gonna fight

428
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: with somebody. But Royakovich is probably a better personality to

429
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: deal with him than Nurse. But anyway, it's a nice

430
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: forty win team. Hopefully.

431
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: Shrewder was joined on the FOEBA Basketball World Cup twenty

432
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: twenty three All Star five. That's a bit of a mouthful,

433
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: isn't it by Shay Gildos, Alexander of Canada, Anthony Edwards

434
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: from the USA, Bogdan Bogdanovic Serbia, and Luka Doncic of Slovenia.

435
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: So no positional requirement, no, they they sort of just

436
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: got rid.

437
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Of well, like all the physicality in the game. Everyone's huge, Yeah,

438
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: no one bigger than Luca. I guess Luca the monster

439
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: in the.

440
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: Old Guards basically though. Yeah, they even changed it from

441
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: like it used to be called All Tournament team and

442
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: now it's All Star five.

443
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: I think that was an honor of the guy from

444
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: smash Mouth. All right, hey, now you're an All Star five. Yes,

445
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: that's right.

446
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: They also gave us an All second team Archurs Zagars

447
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: of Latvia, y Simoni Fantechio Italys of Lithuania, uh Nicola

448
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: Miltuna of Serbia, as we talked about, and then France

449
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: of Germany snuck on the All Second team despite missing

450
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of games, but I think probably well deserved.

451
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: We also got Josh Giddy winning the Wanda Rising Star

452
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 2: Award to anyone under twenty. Yes, I think it's a brand.

453
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: I think they're sponsoring it. Best Defensive Player goes to

454
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. We'll talk about him later. And then the

455
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: best Coach.

456
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: Can you guess they won?

457
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: Which team won the best which which coach from It's

458
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: not him, it's not him. We're probably the most surprising fit.

459
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: The guy LuLuCa.

460
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: He won Best Coach. But any thoughts on the All

461
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: Tournament Team, there any any omissions from either the first

462
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: five or even all ten that deserved a little love

463
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: to you?

464
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Getty was awesome. I think that's the one who stands

465
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: out as he could have been on the team rather

466
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: than the young star. But he gets an award, I guess.

467
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: But there was lots of bigs that deserved a lot

468
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: of credit in this tournament.

469
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 3: Did you say Dylan Brooks made it on the second two, Well,

470
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 3: then he should have. That's shocking. Yeah, yeah, I guess

471
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: they gave him an award for best defensive Player, but

472
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 3: he should have made the team.

473
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: Yep. So there you go. I guess they're just getting

474
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: rid of it, just like the NBA positions. Get out

475
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: of here, five five guards basically, but a pretty good

476
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: list there. I mean, Luca his numbers are unreal, so

477
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: he's gotta be in it. But he was on the

478
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: on the quote unquote worst team of those first five

479
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 2: of the All Star five, I should say, with Shruder

480
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: winning the whole thing the final four, Yeah right right,

481
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 2: everybody else did. So there you go. We're gonna take

482
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: a break and when we come back, we got a

483
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: lot it's more to talk about. We're gonna talk about

484
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: Canada defeating USA and looking ahead to the Paris Olympics

485
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: and what roster Grant Hill's gonna put together with Lebron James, help,

486
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: don't go anywhere. I had a weird dream last night.

487
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: He just reminded me no, no, but it was well

488
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: sports related. I don't think you guys know Chris. It

489
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who the person is. But this guy I

490
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: was in a running club with in Toronto. I literally

491
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: had a dream that he in Madison Square Garden entered

492
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: a match against mister Perfect and beat him. But he

493
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: was a child. Chris was like a ten year old

494
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: kid and it became like big news. This was happening

495
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: in my dream. Nobody cares. But anyway, cool dream, bro.

496
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna but I'm gonna eat. I'm gonna Instagram later

497
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: today DM them that that fun little fact. Okay, let's

498
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: talk about the Canadians, led by Dylan Brooks thirty nine points.

499
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: I didn't stutter there. Thirty nine points from Dylan Brooks

500
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: in one game up ended the Americans for third place

501
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: at the Feeble World Cup early yesterday morning. A wild game.

502
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: We saw Mikal Bridges score four points in the final

503
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: four seconds to send the game to overtime, but Sga

504
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: took over in the extra frame to lead Canada to

505
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: their first ever World Cup medal. We will get to

506
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: our takeaways from America's game and their entire run. But

507
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: Canada doing something they've never done here tasks and that

508
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: is meddling in the World Cup and quite a success.

509
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: Congrats to Canada, huge, huge victory, Huge victory for the program,

510
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: huge victory for Shae, who was clearly the best player

511
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: on this team. And yeah, if there's any any doubts

512
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: about Shae and his NBA prowess or or just the

513
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: unknown of Shay because he plays in Okay, see even

514
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: if he was first team All NBA, this just shows

515
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: you how how incredible he was throughout this tournament. Thirty

516
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: plus in three of the four last games and elimination games. Essentially,

517
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: he did have the one game in the semifinals where

518
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: he got into foul trouble. Things weren't right for Shay,

519
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: but he got He had a great tournament. And I

520
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: want to mention Shay first because all the toxic are

521
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: gonna be about Dylan Brooks and the camera was just

522
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: on Dylan Brooks after they won their semifinal game, and

523
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: he was he was amazing. That was a special night

524
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 1: for Dylan Brooks. Start the rehabilitation tour for Dylan Brooks.

525
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: That was it right there, because yes, thirty nine, that's

526
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: not going to happen in the NBA. Seven to eight

527
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: from three is not gonna happen in the NBA. But

528
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: the game before that, five of twelve, the game before

529
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: that five to seven, the game before that eight of twelve,

530
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: that's Dylan Brooks. And if he can just step up

531
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: and shoot that three point shot in the NBA, which

532
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: is a different shot, he should be back. He should

533
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: be back doing great things and the Grizzlies should be

534
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: missing him and he will be great on the Rockets.

535
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, just phenomenal stuff up and down the Canadian roster,

536
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: but led by Shae, he was the rock that got

537
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: them there. And they were in an overtime game against

538
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: Spain they almost were basically eliminated from and they were

539
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: going to be eliminated for a Metal contention. It was close,

540
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: but Shae in that game against Spain brought him back

541
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: to bring him to this quarter final game.

542
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 2: You say Shaye was the best player in Canada, he

543
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: was the best player in this tournament. I actually think overall, yeah,

544
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: he's somehow exceeded expectations, which is the wild part, Like

545
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: we were coming in, like obviously he's the best player

546
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: on the squad. Kenny lead Canada into the knockout stage

547
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: and maybe Metal and everyone's like hoping and praying, and

548
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: like he played better than I thought he would even do.

549
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: And I had the bar so high and he was like, no,

550
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: he like showed that. He's like at least you know,

551
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: you can argue if you want to say Luca and

552
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: Truder what he did for Germany. Sure, but he's on

553
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 2: that All Star five with a bullet because he was

554
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: that good. And he would just like he got to

555
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: thirty points. He gets to thirty points so easy. And

556
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: I know a lot of it comes at the line

557
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: because he's basically guaranteed free throw every time he gets there,

558
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 2: and he's incredible drying them because his quirky game and

559
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: how he moves and all that. But there was many

560
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: times in these in these forty minute games where I

561
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: can't believe he had thirty plus because he just like

562
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: racks him up in a hurry, and he's he knows

563
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: when his team needed him too, and he would stop

564
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: bleeding or go on runs like that game against America

565
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: where they somehow are in overtime I mean, they all

566
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: played America for a majority of that regulation. They're in

567
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: overtime and like a lot of teams would have folded,

568
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: and like, what the hell just happened? And he scores

569
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: the step of first seven points of overtime and basically

570
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: closes the door. Just incredible tournament from him, and like

571
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: all that's left for him now is to like win

572
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: in the NBA and yeah, yeah, yeah, and possibly you know,

573
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: obviously start flirting with MVPs and stuff like that, and

574
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: then in Paris try and get Kennedy even further than

575
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: a bronze. But what a tournament.

576
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: He had one bad game and it was because he

577
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: had fouled trouble against Serbia. Basically I imagined that Shay

578
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: took the most free throws in the entire tournament. Nobody

579
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 3: could stay in front of him, and then he was

580
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 3: getting a ton of calls inside. But that was a

581
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 3: quite the win for Canada. USA came out and said,

582
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks, we know you can't shoot threes. We've seen

583
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: you in the NBA. They didn't realize the line was shorter,

584
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: so they said, we're gonna take the ball out of

585
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: Shay's hand. Dylan can you beat us, and then he did,

586
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: and then Shaye beat him as well. When it finally

587
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: came down to it, Team USA's guard defense was just

588
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: not able to guard either of those guys. There was

589
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: that crazy play where Shay Gilo Alexander somehow crossed up

590
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: a guy that wasn't even guarding, like Michale Bridges is

591
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: coming down to help double team. I think it was

592
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: Reeves who was guarding Shay there at the top of

593
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: the key and he just went flying down onto the ground.

594
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: And that's one of the best defenders that Team USA has.

595
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 3: They were locked in. That game meant a ton for

596
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: Team Canada. So awesome for them to get to win.

597
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: But I hate it because now the Raptors have won

598
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: a title more recently than the Balls and Team USA

599
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: is losing to Canada. Nothing. I have nothing here. You

600
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: guys are probably packers.

601
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say I was gonna bring up

602
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: the Bears.

603
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: That was a tough day to day. Yesterday I was

604
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: where my Daniel Medvedev Jersey last night too. Come on,

605
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: I didn't do anything right, but Dylan.

606
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: Brooks, yeah, thirty nine, we said he finished the tournament.

607
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: I saw this from Blake Murphy with a true shooting

608
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: percentage of seventy six point one percent the tournament. Apparently,

609
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: it's the fourth highest in a single tournament among players

610
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: with a minimum of sixty five field goal attempts over

611
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: the last thirty years. And Dylan Brooks Tassio like this,

612
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure this one's right. He shot nearly

613
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: fifty nine percent from three.

614
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured out where the column is. It is

615
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: exactly that fifty eight point eight.

616
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: Okay, fifth highest among players in a single tournament with

617
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: at least twenty five three point attempts of all time.

618
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks just had one of the greatest shooting performances

619
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: in in FOBA history in a tournament.

620
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: The irrational confidence, the irrational confidence is key. It's it's

621
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: important because he stepped into every single shot. He had

622
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: a quieter game in the semifinals against Serbia, and then

623
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: he stepped into every single shot. He was one pass

624
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: away from Shae. The Americans were putting two guys on Chase,

625
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: and that was the really, really impressive part about Chase game.

626
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: He he got the Luca treatment. He had yeah, two

627
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: guards on him at all times. He was dropping guards

628
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: that weren't guarding him. He was dropping everybody. So one

629
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: pass away was Dylan Brooks and yeah, he is. This

630
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that doesn't lack confidence. And obviously seven

631
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: of eight from three the one was a brick, a

632
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Dylan brick, and then one yeah, after the buzzer shot

633
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: block buzzer was another miss. It was good because it

634
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't count against the the percentage.

635
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 2: But man, he hit a tough jumper in overtime though, too,

636
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: to help out SGA. That was like, you know, well guarded,

637
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: actually huge shot, and then r J. Barrett sort of

638
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: closed the door with a three off the top because yeah,

639
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: too much attention had to be put on SGA and

640
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: you move the ball a little bit. And I'll give

641
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: credit to Dylan Brooks for that too. Like he wasn't

642
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: tunnel vision, especially in a game where he can't miss.

643
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: He actually was still racking up assists. He wasn't forcing

644
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: the action too much. He just had an incredible tournament

645
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: and we're not even you know, we slipped it in there,

646
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: but he won best defensive Player in the tournament too.

647
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: He didn't like, you can't shut down, got the Anthony

648
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: Edwards of the worlds or the Lucas of the worlds

649
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 2: or but he did as good as job as you

650
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: can and making it difficult for those guys when he

651
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: could stay out of foul trouble or not pick up

652
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: a dumb unsportsmanlike foul, which he saw it did a

653
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 2: couple of times. But incredible for him and you Rockets

654
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: fans just hope. Yeah, he can carry this into the

655
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: NBA a little bit.

656
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: They gotta get whatever that machine is that the raptors

657
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: have fixed. My shot? Yeah, yeah, I figured out the

658
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 3: angle to shoot it that forty seven degrees, just guessing.

659
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: I was also impressed with Canadian coach Jordi Fernandez throughout

660
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: this tournament. He stepped in last minute, he earned the

661
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: respect of his players pretty quickly communicated, well, he's really

662
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: like he's really low key temperament wise, never too high

663
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: or too low. I liked his adjustment yesterday. He did

664
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: it before the opening tip where he tweaked the starting lineup.

665
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: He went SGA, Dort, Brooks, Barrett and Powell, so he

666
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: went a little smaller there and it it worked. In

667
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: that game they got off to the best start they

668
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: had in the World Cup. They were playing the Americans,

669
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: who always liked to give up an early lead, so

670
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: that helped. But he's going to be a head coach,

671
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: is what I'm getting at here. I mean he's an

672
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: assistant with the Kings. He's going to get a crack,

673
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: I would say in the next couple of years. And

674
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: I guess he was on the short list for the

675
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: Raptors too, and they went with dark on instid of him.

676
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been in the coaching circle rumors for a while,

677
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: so it sure seems like that communicated well with Dylan Brooks.

678
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: You know he Yeah, he achieved his job and more.

679
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: He did everything he could. I can't wait to see

680
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks with the Houston Rockets. I know we're Dylan

681
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: Brooks high right now, But what will happen if you

682
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: know the shots aren't coming for him? He was really

683
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: pissed off last year that he had a reduced offensive

684
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: role with the Memphis Grizzlies. He's going to be playing

685
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: with guys in Jayalen Green and Fred and you know,

686
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: hopefully Jabari Smith is getting shots. But those guys want shots.

687
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: So will he still have good shot selection in the

688
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: NBA game? That is the biggest question, And will the

689
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: Rockets have that machine.

690
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: They need to invest in that.

691
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: That helps his shot that's going around the NBA. Doesn't

692
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: seem like every team should have that. I mean, it's weird,

693
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: like why wouldn't you have that?

694
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: I agree.

695
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: Just a couple other notes about Team Canada here Kelly Olenik.

696
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: I thought this was really cool. This guy's been on

697
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: this team for a long long time. He's the captain now.

698
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: He was a part of Canada's zero to five team

699
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: in the twenty ten World Championships. Obviously World Cup is

700
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: what it's called now, but they were like Canada was

701
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 2: like twenty second, twenty third in the world, and now

702
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: here he is yesterday. I thought it was a really

703
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: cool moment him and Powell like hugging and embracing right

704
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: after it helping lead them to their first ever World

705
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: Cup medal. And he like he had a just a

706
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: quiet game yesterday, not a ton from him, but throughout

707
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: the tournament he was pretty steady, and he also had

708
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: like a knack for like timely buckets or or timely

709
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: fouls draw and like just the sort of the vet

710
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: guy on this team. You know, he came through many times,

711
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: just invaluable experience here in these high leverage games for

712
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: Canada and they're going to try and take this into

713
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four Olympics and maybe with some more

714
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 2: guys on the squad, most notably Jamal Murray, maybe even

715
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins. And it's cool now that they got a

716
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: bronze and like there's expectations like has has Canada basketball

717
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: finally arrived? It feels like it and now they should

718
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: be at least flirting with the podium in every one

719
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: of these moving forward.

720
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: I would think.

721
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And unlike the Americans who could just have a

722
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: bunch of superstars displaced basically this whole roster that went

723
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: to the World Cup, the Canadians don't have that. Jamal Murray,

724
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins, sure, a couple of them. But Kelly Oh

725
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: will be back and he deserves to be back because

726
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: he's been a lifer on this program and he came through.

727
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: I know yesterday was a quiet game, but the semifinals

728
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: he was stepping into shots. He's ready. So yeah, it's

729
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: good to see the lifers come through a high leverage game.

730
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: Like you said, not a game like this though, I

731
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: mean they've had they've had games where they've had expectations,

732
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: but they played for the Bronze, they played in the

733
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: semis here, so this is this is even new for Kelly,

734
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: and this is new for a lot of these guys.

735
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: So we just TH's props perhaps to the whole roster

736
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, the whole contingent and everybody who's dedicated

737
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: to the three year process that they have and yeah,

738
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: respected all those dudes.

739
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 4: T K.

740
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 2: Let's get your uh level.

741
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: Last thing from this game is that McHale Bridges shot

742
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 3: is one of the craziest things you're ever gonna see.

743
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: A wild I was like the missed free throw, get

744
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: your own basket and the Ray Allen uh saving the

745
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 3: day against the San Antonio Spurs, all in the same play.

746
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: To have the like the state of mind to grab

747
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: the rebound, I know you still have enough time to

748
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: dribble out and get a look from three and knock

749
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: it down. The pictures are crazy. But then Canada completely

750
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 3: bounce back, and that's pretty tough to be a shot

751
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: like that.

752
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe they did. I'll be completely honest, Like

753
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 2: like I said, we we Canada completely outplayed America for

754
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: like thirty eight minutes like they were and then somehow

755
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: like they didn't. They didn't close the door. Remember there

756
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: was that stretch there in the fourth where it's like

757
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: they were letting America hang around. They were letting them

758
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: hang around. Haliburton hit a three and suddenly it was

759
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: like such a close game. And then Bridges had all

760
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: the fight in the world on the rebound to get

761
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: him to the free throw line. Yeah, like it should

762
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: have been a rebound, should have been Canada win. Yeah,

763
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: he out, you know, hustles them, gets there, hits the one,

764
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: misses the second, gets the rebound somehow dribbles to the corner.

765
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: It's a fade away three. And I was like, that's it.

766
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, oh, classic Canada. We're like,

767
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: we're not even gonna win a bronze now, we just

768
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: gave it to America. It's so stupid. But yeah, Sga

769
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: was like, no, no, no, it's okay. I got this

770
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 2: wild shot though, incredible shot, and he was probably mckailbridge

771
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 2: is one of the bright spots for TMUSA in this tournament,

772
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 2: and that's what I wanted to go to next. We

773
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: are your takeaways from TMSA is very disappointing fourth place

774
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: finish here.

775
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 3: They completely folded when the competition got tough. They ran

776
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: through the first stage. They beat Montenegro fairly easily, though

777
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: it was a little bit more competitive, and then when

778
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: they ran into Lithuania, they gave up one hundred and

779
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 3: ten points smoked Italy because they weren't totally competition. Then

780
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirteen against Germany, gave up one hundred

781
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: and twenty seven against Canada one hundred and eleven in regulation,

782
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 3: all the same teams. Those three teams beat the USA

783
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 3: the exact same way. They hit the glass and they

784
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: hit the three because the USA lacked size and they

785
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: lacked continuity. So that's just how it played out, because

786
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 3: it's kind of strange. They play small, they play fast,

787
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: and they try to shoot a ton of threes, which

788
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 3: is USA basketball, and it works when they've got the

789
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: best talent. But playing small, forcing turnovers and shooting a

790
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 3: ton of threes, that's the way underdogs play in tournaments

791
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: when they don't have as much talent. They try and

792
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: get more possessions, They try and flip the math with

793
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 3: extra three pointers. And that's just strange because that's the

794
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: USA you think should have superior talent. But what it

795
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: comes down to is they don't care enough about the

796
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 3: World Cup. Yeah, five golds in nineteen World Cups for

797
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: the United States. Sixteen golds and nineteen appearances at the Olympics.

798
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: If you want to, just look at the NBA player

799
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 3: World Cups. Three goals in a tries for Team USA.

800
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: The best players aren't there because Lebron is in Saudi Arabia.

801
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: Steph Curry is watching the Las Vegas Aces play. We

802
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 3: saw Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler doing bits at the

803
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 3: US Open. But they're gonna want to play next year.

804
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: And that's the cycle for USA basketball. They don't prioritize

805
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: the World Cup, so they don't send the best players.

806
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 3: Then they struggle in the World Cup, they fail the medal,

807
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 3: all the best players say we got to re establish

808
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: USA basketball. They come back for the Olympics, they win

809
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: the Olympics, learn nothing, and then send the second tier

810
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: of players back for the World Cup. So it's just

811
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: kind of kind of always go like this, unless USA

812
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: loses it in the Olympics or starts caring about the

813
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: World Cup.

814
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: It's yeah, you're you're a spot on there. I mean,

815
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: no one, I mean except the players. I assume that

816
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 2: are there. They want to win, but yeah, no one

817
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: here in America cares and they don't care the superstars

818
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: of the NBA. So it's almost like, why send the

819
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: B or C team NBA players, They'd almost be better

820
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 2: off sending the team like that Jeff Van Gundy is

821
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: getting in these qualifying tournaments. I'm me serious. It's like,

822
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: at least they're a team, and your Langston Galloways and

823
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: your John Jenkins and whatever Jingleheimer Schmidt's are going to

824
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: maybe play better, Like honestly, they might even put up

825
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 2: a better fight because this was pathetic, like the defense

826
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: in these games, like they got smoked. They had the

827
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: easiest early group play. So that's just like, yeah, they

828
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: were gonna beat any of those teams, didn't matter, but

829
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: once they played some competition with other NBA players, they

830
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 2: couldn't stop them to stay their life. Now, I will note,

831
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: and I forgot to say this when I said Canada

832
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: beat them in the bronze game, there was no brandon

833
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: Ingram for the second game in a row because of

834
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 2: an illness, and then no Jared Jackson Junior and no

835
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: Powell Bancarro in the bronze game. I think everybody caught

836
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 2: this bug or whatever the hell it was. So they

837
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: were lacking in size and you know, manpower. But it's

838
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: not like Jared Jackson Junior had an incredible tournament. Yeah, nope,

839
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: he got I mean, he's basically being made the Scapecoade

840
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: for this fourth place finish.

841
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: But it named him MVP of Training Camp. That's right, that's.

842
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: Right, which is a weird thing looking back in hindsight,

843
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: just all these anointing guys like Jaron Jackson Junior is

844
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: the MVP of Training Camp, Anthony Edwards is the guy,

845
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: the next guy.

846
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson was the guy.

847
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 2: That's what Kurt thought.

848
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it was all NBA players going against each other,

849
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson and Jared Jackson Junior dominated, and then when

850
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: it was FOBA basketball, they were two of the most

851
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 3: disappointing players, I would say, and I stayed in the

852
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 3: starting line up the whole time.

853
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brunson, Yeah, but current current anointed Anthony Edwards as

854
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 1: the guy, the next guy. And you could see every

855
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: single possession like coming down to the wire or just

856
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: giving it to that guy. And I just say all

857
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: that because they just fell apart as a team, and

858
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: this whole size thing is what everybody comes down to.

859
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they got smoked. They lost by two

860
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: points in the quarterfinal to Germany. That's where this tournament

861
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: fell apart. And then they didn't care against Canada, that's

862
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: for sure. But the size thing was Jaron Jackson Junior

863
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: is a seven footer, he's a defensive Player of the Year,

864
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: and he wasn't on the floor. Really, when it comes

865
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: down to it, he disappointed big time. I mean, he

866
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the guy to stop everybody and

867
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: was the key to this switching defense. He was supposed

868
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 1: to be able to be on the floor and intimidate everybody,

869
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: and he just fell apart when he came to the

870
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: elimination games and he just wasn't on the floor. Literally

871
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: wasn't on the floor, and they couldn't play him. So

872
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: that was the scary part.

873
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: Do you think Kerr botched it by not having Jaron

874
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: Jackson Junior as almost a four? Yeah, and maybe go

875
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 2: with yeah, you know one of their other bigs, which

876
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 2: I mean they lacked bigs. I mean, Kessler's their biggest guy,

877
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: and everybody kept saying after they lost to Germany, oh,

878
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: Kesler's gotta play. Kessler's gotta play. Kessler's gotta play. I

879
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: saw I watched him play in Canada. I thought he

880
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: was as handed to him.

881
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: He didn't do much. No, and Kerr obviously didn't trust that. No,

882
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: I didn't think, but I mean, I don't know. The

883
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: game against Germany was lost in the third quarter because

884
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior was in foul trouble. They went on

885
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 3: a huge run in the third quarter, and also Kerr

886
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 3: bizarrely kept Anthony Edwards on the bench for like six

887
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 3: minutes of that third quarter when Germany was really flipping

888
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: the game. But that's kind of how USA has done it.

889
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: They bring their second best player off the bench. Tyre's

890
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: Halliburton should have been starting for Jalen Brunson, though he

891
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 3: was a little bit of food against Canada, I thought.

892
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 3: And then their best coach comes off the bench too,

893
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: and Eric Spolstra, so who are the bright spots? And

894
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 3: he would have adjusted, would have made adjustments.

895
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 2: We're agreeing that mkil Bridges, Anthony Edwards, and Tyre's Halliburton

896
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 2: had were good.

897
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that Edwards and Bridges are even

898
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: ahead of Halliburton. Because Bridges and Edwards both contributed on

899
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 3: the defensive end as well. Caliburton was great for getting

900
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: steals and changing the tempo, but he would probably be

901
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: more like an eleventh or twelfth guy for me on

902
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 3: the next team.

903
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: You say, yeah, I think you know. As we get

904
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: to the superstars who want to play next year in

905
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: the Olympics, Michail Bridges I think is number one with

906
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: a bullet going to be there if he wants to

907
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: be there, because he's so great at so many things.

908
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 1: He can play small, big, He could be a number

909
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: one option in some scenario. He can be two to three.

910
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: He fits in, he'll play d he'll play extremely hard.

911
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: I think number one with the bullet, he's got to

912
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: be back. He was so so good and yeah, Jared

913
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior, I think that was really the biggest disappointment.

914
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: It is an interesting thought experiment because in the NBA,

915
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: he starts besides Steven Adams, he is bumping up his

916
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: minutes at the center position more and more and more

917
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: year in year out, but he still plays like two

918
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: thirds of his minutes at a center Like there's there's

919
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: still a lot of minutes that he plays at the

920
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: power forward spot where he's off the ball, and you

921
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: can just see where he got picked up all these

922
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: fouls as it's it's guarding guys. Sometimes sometimes it was

923
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: offensive foules. He just fell apart and maybe maybe this

924
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: hole he's the MVP of this thing, got to him.

925
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this whole small lineup was sort

926
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: of based around him being awesome and he was not.

927
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, him being I mean him being sort

928
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: of a Draymond Green like Steve Kurr in his system

929
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: of playing smaller and you know helps when you got

930
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 2: Curry as well, but Draymond really is what makes that go,

931
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: being a smaller big that can play defensively. But yeah,

932
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: Jared Jackson Junior, he had a second foul. We had

933
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: We had a running joke going on on every playback

934
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: where we watch the American game of like what's the

935
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: over under of minutes where Jaron Jackson Junior picks up

936
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: his second foul, and like we almost always got it

937
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 2: wrong because we were like me setting the line like,

938
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: you know, three minutes in, but it would be like

939
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 2: two and a half minutes in. It was wild every

940
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: single time. So let's talk about tm USA's roster here

941
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four Paras Olympics. Because Sham's dropping the

942
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 2: article right before we go live. Lebron James ready to

943
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: commit to the twenty twenty four Olympic team, and he's

944
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: recruiting fellow stars as well. So Seawan's listing that Lebron

945
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: has spoken to Steph Katie, Anthony Davis, Jason Tatum, Draymond

946
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 2: Green separately. We've you know, we've heard word that maybe

947
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 2: Devin Booker, Damian Lillard, Daron Fox, Kyrie Irving could all

948
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 2: be ready to go here for Paris Olympics. Great timing

949
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: on this. I love it because within the article it

950
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: said this had another to do with World Cup, the

951
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: World Cup fourth place finish, and there was already recruiting

952
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: and thinking about dealing.

953
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: Way before this, way before, but the article came out.

954
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a it's a little interesting, but well, yeah,

955
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: what do you think of I mean, let's build the

956
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: squad if you want for your American team here to

957
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: redeem themselves.

958
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've seen, uh, the the classic memes of

959
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 3: things that happen on the internet. It's so over immediately

960
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: and that we are so back. That's how it happened,

961
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 3: it's over. But right now we are so back already Lebron,

962
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 3: Stephan Katie if they want to play there in Yeah,

963
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 3: I mean Curry doesn't have an Olympic gold yet. People

964
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: are saying he might be targeted as a defender. Yeah,

965
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: that's definitely true. But if you have better defenders behind him,

966
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 3: you can live with it. That guy deserves an Olympic

967
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: gold and he's the best shooter on Earth. I'll take him.

968
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 3: I'll take him.

969
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: Do you know how funny it's gonna look if Steph

970
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: Curry is playing with that short three point line where he's.

971
00:45:54,520 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 4: Shooting from floaters, and then like Lebron Kadi I saw

972
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 4: when we were doing our playback yesterday, do you want

973
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 4: to be relying on guys who are like thirty six

974
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 4: and forty years old.

975
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 3: They've got size and skill like Lebron and Kevin Durant

976
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 3: would be the best rebounders on Team USA instantly just

977
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 3: by them signing up. So I'm happy with those guys playing.

978
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: Not to mention, like you think about the two thousand

979
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 3: and eight team, they had Jason Kidd as the vet

980
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 3: who helps Carmelo Anthony was a vet help that kind

981
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 3: of stuff. That position has always been there. So I

982
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: think those three legends you're in if you want to play.

983
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 3: My next list is the Biggs. They need at least

984
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: two of Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Draymond Green and bam Adebayo.

985
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 3: Whichever two of those play, you need them. Embiid would

986
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: be a huge get for Team USA. They haven't had

987
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 3: a hulking center like that since Shack basically, and you

988
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 3: think about the bigs that they're going to be seeing

989
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: in the tournament next year. Jokic will be playing, Janna

990
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 3: Santa Takumpo will be playing, Victor Wembin Yama will be playing.

991
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 3: There's some huge dudes exactly. They just need a beefy guy.

992
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: So the imcruitment for Embiid should be at the top

993
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 3: of the mind for Grant Hill right now. Then you're

994
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 3: getting into the wings. Tatum I think needs to be

995
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 3: on this team. He's got size, he defends, he's been

996
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: there in the past. Booker is the same, but he's

997
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: a guard. And the name I haven't seen mentioned a

998
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: whole lot here, Jimmy Butler. That guy will be in

999
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: the closing lineups for Team ORSA because he's got that

1000
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 3: dog in him. Then after that you're getting into the

1001
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 3: depth pieces and there's a whole bunch of guys you

1002
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: can choose for that. And I think that's where like

1003
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: an Anthony Edwards Michale Bridges slots in alongside some guys

1004
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 3: from the twenty twenty one Olympics.

1005
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: Sounds like the US is back.

1006
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: We're so back.

1007
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: It's totally true. I know that the guys and Steve

1008
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: Kerr and this US team that or the US management

1009
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: team that puts this team together cares when it comes

1010
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: to the World Cup, but it's obviously clear that the

1011
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: players care way more about the Olympics. Yeah, there's no

1012
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: way to sugarcoat it's totally true. So yeah, Steph, Katie

1013
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: and Lebron I expect to be entirely back, and they

1014
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,479
Speaker 1: should be, and they should be leading this team. Yeah.

1015
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: The question is is the big and Trey brings up. Yeah,

1016
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: the foursome there. Even if em Beide doesn't say, you know,

1017
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to play for any of my other nationalities.

1018
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't want to play period, they'll be fine.

1019
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: I think with Anthony Davis slash Straymont Green slash Bam

1020
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: you know they want a gold with Chris bosh as

1021
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: they're big, like they can do it. Yeah, and so

1022
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: yeah they're back, baby, and they're gonna be the favorite.

1023
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's fine. But the Serbs are

1024
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna be yeah, hell of a competition. The germs are

1025
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: gonna be held with competition, The candies are gonna be

1026
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: hell with competition. It's gonna be fun.

1027
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: So would you agree that Anthony Edwards and mckail bridges

1028
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 2: have the best chance to make the paras Olympic team.

1029
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: Maybe Tyrese Haliburton too. It all depends, of course on

1030
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: like is Booker playing, is Lilly'd playing as like you

1031
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: know Curry even.

1032
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: But I think mckel bridges is the number one. Yeah, okay,

1033
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: because when you bring superstars like that, they do a

1034
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: lot of the things that Anthony Edwards does. But mckel

1035
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: bridges and his length and his defense yea, and his

1036
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: willingness to fit in, his willingness to play any role,

1037
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: like on the twenty twenty one Phoenix Sun's run he

1038
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 1: was a complimentary player, but he can show you, show

1039
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: to you he can be a scorer as well. I

1040
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: think he's number one and you see sometimes from the

1041
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: World Cup teams like Kyrie Irving MVP of a World

1042
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: Cup team. But it changes to the Olympics a little bit.

1043
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: You know though, those type of guys could come off

1044
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: the bench even and and be a you know, a

1045
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: spark off the but off the bench. But you need

1046
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: guys like mckalbridge as I think he would be number one.

1047
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: But it is crazy how much overhaul there's going to

1048
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: be in one year. It's going to be a lot, yeah,

1049
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: a lot.

1050
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 2: Like we as we just talked about. Throughout the entire tournament,

1051
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 2: Tmosa lacked rebounding defense and just really like an intensity too.

1052
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 2: And maybe that's a part of this whole who gives

1053
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: a shit about the World Cup attitude that they sort

1054
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 2: of approach it with. So, you know, does that change

1055
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: just because it's the Olympics and there's a lot you know,

1056
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, there's a lot more uh, you know,

1057
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: effort to go get a gold medal in the Olympics.

1058
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 2: But when I say those three things, rebounding defense, intensity,

1059
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 2: I think of Draymond Green, I think of Jimmy Butler

1060
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: and like and then yeah, and then sure, all the

1061
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 2: superstars that you can add in Lebron, Katy and Curry

1062
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: to score all the buckets, but that some of that

1063
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: defense Anthony Davis may be included if he's healthy, that

1064
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: would you know, then they're of course they're going to

1065
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: be the favorites if they have this roster that we

1066
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 2: just went through.

1067
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

1068
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: But I will say what's really cool is we used

1069
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: to always just be like, well, execution is going to

1070
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 2: be talent. That's where we're at now, and that's why

1071
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: some of these teams that have grown up together and

1072
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: the system they run, you know, Germans we are a

1073
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: good example of this. Uh, it's really cool. But I

1074
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: almost push back on that now because like when we

1075
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 2: just say talent, what I just saw over the last

1076
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 2: couple of weeks are a lot of players on other teams,

1077
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 2: not the American teams, that can shoot just as well,

1078
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: that pass just as well, that rebound just as well,

1079
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: that play defense just as well. Like so talent in

1080
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: that regard. I mean, maybe what they mean now is

1081
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 2: like just pure athleticism and I'm not starting to shrink

1082
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 2: slowly but surely on the rest of these teams around

1083
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: the world, which is cool, which is makes for a

1084
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: really fun tournament. I know, people here maybe don't care

1085
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 2: about the World Cup, but this is awesome. Like, what

1086
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 2: did you just think in general of the parody really,

1087
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: because I think I read like the last three teams

1088
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: to Metal didn't even didn't even make the elimination stage

1089
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 2: here in Spain, Argentina and France. Argentina wasn't even in

1090
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: the damn thing. That's pretty cool.

1091
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, not cool for Argentina, but pretty cool. Yeah, they're

1092
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: in a transition period. It was fine. I like the

1093
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: guys on the floor. They tried Haliburton maybe in the

1094
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: starting lineup changes things like he was he came into

1095
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: the bronze medal game saying Canada hasn't won a medal

1096
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: since nineteen thirty six, Like you know.

1097
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, you want to keep it that way.

1098
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: He knows the history of this game. But at the

1099
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: same time, Haliburton, yeah, he'd had a couple of bad

1100
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: games to finish this tournament too. I think the intensity

1101
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: was there. I think the whole triple j thing kind

1102
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: of threw everything.

1103
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 2: For I think the intensity was there. Well, they're giving

1104
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: up one hundred plus points in a forty minute game

1105
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: multiple times.

1106
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean they got down every time. The starters were

1107
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards. Sure, there's no Kobe on this team, and

1108
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 3: he was saying that because he had to come off

1109
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 3: the bench. But there's no Kobe on this team.

1110
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

1111
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. On the floor, it's true. I'll take back my

1112
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: word of intensity. They they didn't bring it physically, and yeah,

1113
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: the energy and the press was there a lot of time,

1114
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: like the Americans were pressing, which you don't see a

1115
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: lot in international competitions. But the bench, Yeah, the Reeves, Halliburton,

1116
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: Josh Hart for a time, Bobby p those guys changed

1117
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: the game every single time. Yeah, so that's totally true.

1118
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: I take that back. It was a good tournament for

1119
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 1: ar for Austin Reeves, that's for sure.

1120
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 2: Offensively, yeah, he got picked on. I think that's something

1121
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 2: just to watch in this upcoming NBA season. I want

1122
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 2: to talk about carry over. How much will teams go

1123
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: at him because he got bosed Defensively, every team went

1124
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: at him as they got onto playing better and better teams.

1125
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 2: He played great offensively a lot of the time. Was

1126
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 2: a spark plug, no doubt, but a lot of it

1127
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 2: was given back.

1128
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 3: I think he is the second leading scorer, but the

1129
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: Lakers have Anthony Davis behind him. Yeah, so yeah, that helps.

1130
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 3: And when you look at why the second team was

1131
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 3: always blowing it out five NBA players, that is a

1132
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 3: talent overload and the pressing is there. But FOBA basketball

1133
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 3: and NBA basketball are completely different. So the starters were

1134
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 3: just not able to overwhelm the team sending their five

1135
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 3: best players out there. So that's why I feel like

1136
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 3: TEAMSA doesn't really learn from this World Cup because they

1137
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: go and play the same style in the Olympics, but

1138
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 3: they've got such better players that it doesn't really matter.

1139
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: They don't learn to play the Phoeba style like your

1140
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 3: guards have to be able to post up. That's why

1141
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler needs to be on the team. That's why

1142
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum needs to be on the team. When they

1143
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 3: get a smaller guy on him, they can actually do

1144
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 3: something with it rather than try and creating from the outside,

1145
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 3: which is what Edwards was doing all the time. Drive

1146
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 3: into a million people sometimes hit a crazy shot and

1147
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 3: it sometimes turn the ball over.

1148
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's generally a more physical game, which makes it

1149
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 2: fun to I think the overall production. Again, we watch

1150
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: a lot of these own playback. It was a blast

1151
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: like like, look, the forty minute game is fun. It

1152
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 2: moves quicker. There are less sort of breaks, There are

1153
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 2: less timeouts on your normal NBA game, so there's a

1154
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 2: bit more of a flow now. The FEBA officials they're

1155
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: all over the map. Like you start to watch these

1156
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 2: games and the start you start missing your NBA officials.

1157
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 2: I can't believe IM gonna say that I'm longing to

1158
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: watch them call a game because they're just they're just erratic,

1159
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: like sometimes they'll let everything go and sometimes they'll let

1160
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: nothing go. H And then we're doing the var and

1161
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: you know, all the vaar and all that. But the

1162
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: production was cool. I love the miked up refs. I

1163
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 2: like the miked up huddles a lot of the times

1164
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 2: where you hear them discussing things'd be cool if they

1165
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 2: brought it to the NBA. They probably won't, but it

1166
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 2: makes for a more enjoyable watch, so silver consider it.

1167
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 3: There's a great question, you know, because when we talk

1168
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 3: about like NBA production, everybody's like, oh man, how cool

1169
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 3: would it be to just have a soundtrack of the

1170
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 3: players out there on the court. But then the comeback

1171
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 3: is always you can't that it'll be too filthy. They

1172
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 3: can't put that on TV. Are people just nicer in

1173
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 3: international competitions? You know, like we didn't hear bad words.

1174
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 3: It was didn't hire insults coming through on these right,

1175
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 3: like yeah, cordial conversations.

1176
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was one the broadcast team apologized for an

1177
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 2: F bomb once.

1178
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, sure, but.

1179
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm with you, Like I guess the big

1180
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 2: difference is in the breakup play in an NBA game.

1181
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 2: We're gone to uh, you know, watch some State farm

1182
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: commercials here, we stay, we like stay with it, and

1183
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 2: you're seeing them talk it out or the officials look

1184
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: at whatever the monitor talking.

1185
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: About, and the brakes are sixty seconds, which which are nice,

1186
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: big big difference. It's funny that in the NBA we

1187
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: hate the video reviews hate it. Now we're just talking

1188
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: about let's get the refs on mic cuts. Actually, give

1189
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: us some more mics for the rest. I want some

1190
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: Danny Crawford slash, Zach Sarbor slash, and well I want

1191
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: all these guys just talking in my ear. No, it's good,

1192
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: that's the micd up part of for them, just to

1193
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: show what they're looking at, calling for calling for the

1194
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: different cameras. Yeah, yeah, I can't lie. It was good

1195
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: and incredible production with the replays and all that.

1196
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, slow mo replays. FOBA has figured that out

1197
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 2: man like instantaneously, like there's a big dunk and you're

1198
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 2: seeing it like mere second, Like a second later you're

1199
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 2: seeing a slow mo cool angle or two angles of

1200
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 2: that dunk. I don't know how they do it.

1201
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 1: Single emation is just fun, you know, like anything can happen,

1202
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: like if if America played in a series against Germany

1203
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: or whoever. You know, it's different.

1204
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: One right now, that's right, that's right. The one and

1205
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: done is a lot of fun. Maybe we'll we'll get

1206
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 2: hype for that nd season tournament. It's one game, baby,

1207
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 2: to move on.

1208
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 3: Bring in fob refs, play it FEBA style, go forty

1209
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 3: minute games. Yeah, sure, moolten ball. Let's do it that.

1210
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 2: Maybe that'll get more people interested in the in the

1211
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,479
Speaker 2: world when it starts to cover around. There's something to that.

1212
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 3: I think.

1213
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's hear your thoughts on the entire FEBA

1214
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 2: World Cup. And again, I just want to thank everyone

1215
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 2: that joined us on playback for a lot of those games.

1216
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 2: We had some fun sometimes very early morning watches but

1217
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: people were showing up at a lot of international people.

1218
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you start to feel like I said it,

1219
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 2: I tweeted it. I'm like, wow, I feel I start

1220
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: to admire the international people that do this. During the

1221
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 2: NBA season, tasks people that are doing this, like you know,

1222
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 2: three four, five times a week to wake up at

1223
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 2: an ungodly hour to watch the NBA Action live. Kudos

1224
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 2: to you. Yes, Sicico tweeted the night let's do.

1225
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:43,160
