40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: we get into last night's games. We had another wedgie.

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: It's Weggie fifty one on the season and it happened

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: on TNT with Iron Eagle and Jim Jackson on the call.

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Three bounds, four point seven assist per game. Blow it Up.

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: Worgie. That doesn't happen, It just did. And uh uh yeah,

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: that takes salent, you know that, right? The timing is

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: exquisite that time that you get a dunk wedgie, that's.

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: Like two wedgies in America.

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: You get candid.

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, a weggie conversion rate. I had never thought

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: about that.

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Almost want to count it as too, but no, we'll

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: keep it at fifty one.

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: What an incredible call there.

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: It was an actual no dunks weggie woo yeah with

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: Barnes and Bouchet on the alley loop. And how about

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: that maniacal laugh. Who I don't believe was Jim Jackson.

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: I think it must have been a fan or somebody

58
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: behind them, right.

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: I hope it's a fan behind them, because if it's

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: Jim Jackson that's how he laughs, that would be quite

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: the incongruous laugh. The guy's got like the smoothest and

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: deepest voice, but a Trey Kirby laugh. No way, no way.

63
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: That sounded awesome. It sounded loud on the broadcast somehow

64
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: louder on our clip. Yeah, laugh in the background, But uh,

65
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. That might be the most no dunkiest

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: wedgie so far. This season, taking place in Toronto on

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: a dunk attempt. Pretty good, nationally televised tame.

68
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: We'd like to see that take. Everybody tweeting at us

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: and sharing it on Instagram.

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah good one fifty one wedgies. Amazing.

71
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into last night's game, though. I have

72
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: two headlines from the same game, okay, and I wanted

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: to throw the match you and see which one you

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: actually think is a more of a better representation of

75
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 2: the actual result from the game.

76
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Okay.

77
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: The first one, I believe from the AP Curry scores

78
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: thirty nine as the Warriors rally from twenty down to

79
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: beat the Pelicans. The other one from ESPN Draymond Green

80
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: sparks Warriors to win with seventeenth tech and scrum. This

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: is a mini what you got here, Trey? Which one

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: would you?

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: Uh? I mean, they both happened, they're both sort of true.

84
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: But which one, again, is the better representation of that game?

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: I think they're both one hundred percent accurate. Okay, if

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: only somehow one of these headlines could have worked in

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: that it was a tale of two halves, that is

88
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: the one I would go with, But I guess We'll

89
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: go with Draymond because I kind of thought his technicals

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: actually fired the Warriors up. Both Draymond No Surprise and

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr after the game gave Draymond credit YEP for

92
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: getting the team fired up because they looked really bad

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: in the first half of the In the first half

94
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: of this game, I saw Sam A. Spondiari said that

95
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: the current Warriors in the first half were the NBA

96
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: Disgusting Brothers because they just had some ridiculous turnovers. They

97
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: were not completely into this game. And then Draymond and

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram get into it, and then Draymond and Herb

99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Jones get into it, and no doubt the game flipped

100
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: after that moment. Draymond lucky to stay in the game.

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: I would say, all things consider how how how how

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: is how it's weird? How how the guys who get

103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: the most tax get the longest leashes. It's true, no

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: doubt about it, they get the most grace. And I'm

105
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: kind of like, that's how it should be. You should

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: be allowed to beef a little bit on the basketball

107
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: court without instantly getting a tech and getting tossed like

108
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: a Terrence Man or a Kawhi Leonard getting a technical

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: just for a clap. Draymond's allowed to scream at people,

110
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: insult people. You could say he intentionally kicked Herb Jones

111
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: in the head if you wanted to. I was surprised

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: to hear that on the TNT broadcast at halftime, but

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm also like, let the boys beef a little. However,

114
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: it's always the guys who were crossing the line the

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: most who get the most grace. There's got to be

116
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of a middle ground there this or something,

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know. The Warriors needed a kick in

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: the butt and it worked for whatever reason. It also

119
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: helped that Steph Curry is awesome. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah,

120
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: that's my favorite part. It was awesome.

121
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: Did Draymond need to do all of this to remind

122
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: Steph Curry that you're the greatest shooter of all time?

123
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: But I guess so did Maybe he had to. I

124
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: think you have the clips, JD.

125
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: He might as well just start rolling them, because it

126
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: did start in the second quarter. The Warriors look flat Draymond.

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: You know, a hard foul we can call it that

128
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: on brandon Ingram there and then Draymond of course, like

129
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: he got in his way, like Bi is headed to

130
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: the free throw line, and then this is here's the house,

131
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: here's the.

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: House, the house? How how?

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: And you know this led to two techs. So that

134
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: was the seventeenth tech there on Draymond on this, Draymond

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: on the season and flagrant and the flagrant a fair flagrant,

136
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, and a fair double tech here I thought,

137
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, like.

138
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Hard followed by Draymond. He certainly gets in brandon Ingram's

139
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: way to continue the confrontation, Ingram in the confrontation as well.

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: They're going back against each other. Double technicals are stupid,

141
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: but you see a double technical in that situation all

142
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the time.

143
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: Right, and then what twenty seconds later, I know it

144
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: was minutes later after we're looking at it, but in

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: real time, but twenty seconds of game time. We then

146
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 2: have what you already alluded to, this play where Draymond

147
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: sort of trucks over Herb Jones gets called for the

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: offensive foul. They both fall to the floor. Draymond his

149
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: legs surprise, surprise on somebody's head while Herb's trying to

150
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: get up, and yeah, extracurricular here and this you know,

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: this was the second incident that happened right after Draymond

152
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: with Brandon ingram Ah.

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happened so quickly after that, you had to

154
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: think Draymond was gonna get tossed just because they're in

155
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: each other's faces right away. I mean, good job by

156
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: everybody splitting things up. Like I said, I thought it

157
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: was accidental when it happened. You know, Draymond runs over

158
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: herb Jones, good call for it to be a charge.

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: He's stumbling, bumbling, herb Jones is underneath his feet, so

160
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Draymond definitely kicks him in the head foot head contact.

161
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: We could all see it. But then at halftime, Jamal

162
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: Crawford adamant that that was intentional, and I think Channing

163
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Fry and who else was it on with them, Tracy McGrady,

164
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: they all agreed with them that they thought it was intentional.

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: And maybe that's just because it's because.

166
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: This guy's feet aren't always hitting people, aren't that whistle

167
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: blows skeeds.

168
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: You can't expect Draymond to control his feet. That would

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: be ridiculous. From the waist down. He's going wild out there.

170
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know, they went and checked it out

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: and just ended up being a standard foul. I think

172
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: that the refs were probably a little hesitant to give

173
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Draymond a second technical get him ejected from this game,

174
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: knowing that he'll also be suspended going forward. But that

175
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: was surprising to me to see another confrontation so quickly,

176
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: like you're saying game wise afterwards, within the same minute

177
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: that it didn't result in an ejection for Draymond.

178
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it led to the hilarious moment where

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: he's like sort of back and forth with Herb Jones,

180
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: and then Herb Jones like, dude, you're getting subbed down there,

181
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: like your coach is taking you out another stop. It

182
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: was a good sub obviously. Then we had Draymond talking

183
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: to Bob Myers there and everybody's just like, okay, man,

184
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: you have started the fire, all right, you have ignited

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: us here. Now watch yourself before you pick up another tech.

186
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: You would miss another game that would be your eighteenth.

187
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: You'd obviously be taken out.

188
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Of this one. So he stayed in.

189
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, then Curry catches fire here. I think some

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: credit to to Looney as well, and the work he

191
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: was doing on the boards there. He almost should get

192
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: I was thinking, every time you get an offensive rebound

193
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: and you kick it out to a shooter that knocks

194
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: down a three. The guy that got the board should

195
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: get one of the three points. You should like take

196
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: a couple away from Curry and give them to Looney

197
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: because a lot of those, of course, happened because of

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 2: the work he was doing inside. And maybe yeah, it

199
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: was it Draymond Green just saying like, let's go here, guys,

200
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: and like just putting up a fight. Like you look

201
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: at it from one side of things, you're like, he

202
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: ignited them, Especially if you're a Warriors fan, You're like,

203
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: we need this, We need somebody to yell at us

204
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: and get us going. You know, we're the four time champs.

205
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: We're sort of like, you know, just going through the

206
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: motions in this game. We're getting our asses handed to them,

207
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: so we need that. You see it from the other

208
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: side of things, if you're not a Draymond Green fan,

209
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: if you're not a Warriors fan, if you just whatever,

210
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: you don't like this type of basketball, then you.

211
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Just go, he's just a shit disturber and it's just what.

212
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: He does and he's annoying, and it's like all that

213
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: both can be true.

214
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: It's both true. True, but of.

215
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: Course you lean towards the lit the fire part when

216
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: you come back and win, right exactly. If they don't

217
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: win this, then it's probably more of the other.

218
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Yes, Draymond was the gas. Curry was the flame there're

219
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: throwing it on. It just looked like the old Warriors

220
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: flipping the switch. We've seen them have incredible third quarters

221
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: a lot of times over the past eight seasons. They

222
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: came out, had an eight to zero run to start

223
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: the third, they got a dunk for Dante DiVincenzo, and

224
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: you could just tell the energy was different for Golden State,

225
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: and as the tide turned, maybe the legs got tired

226
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: for the Pelicans. But it also just felt like Draymond

227
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: was doing Draymond stuff and Steph Curry was doing Steph

228
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Curry stuff. He hit three straight threes at one point

229
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: and the third quarter, So once you get Draymond creating,

230
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: also finished with twelve assists on the night. He has

231
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: been really solid offensively the last couple of weeks for

232
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: the Warriors. You get that, you get Curry shooting the ball. Well,

233
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: it's a perfect recipe for a comeback in the third quarter.

234
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, big win there. When we look at the

235
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: standings here in a second. But let's move on to

236
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: some other games.

237
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: PJ.

238
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: Washington, the Chevy Tracks of the NBA scores a career

239
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: high forty three as the Hornets Tray continue to play spoiler.

240
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they're party poopers for everybody here. You know,

241
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: they did it to the Mavericks there, taking two of them,

242
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: and then they beat the Thunder in this one. Okay,

243
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: so he got back into this game. There's no SGA,

244
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: but the Hornets pull it out. And this was the PJ.

245
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: Washington game because.

246
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: The Hornets also weren't playing anybody like. There was no Hayward,

247
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: there was no Terry Rozier, there's no Kelly Obray.

248
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: They still get it done here. I don't know if

249
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: you have thoughts on on PJ here.

250
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know what kind of trim you got

251
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: in your Chevy Tracks skeets, but that was premium trim. PJ.

252
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Last night, forty three points. You only had twenty one

253
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. Guy had twenty two points

254
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: in a fourth quarter. Our guy, Nick Richards fourteen points,

255
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: eleven rebounds. The Thunder have problems inside. They basically don't

256
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: play any big guys for the majority of the game.

257
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I guess Jeremiah Robinson earl Is is kind of their

258
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: biggest guy, but they're generally a small team, and you

259
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: could see that the Hornets took advantage on the inside.

260
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: Both of their big guys, I mean, Richards is actually big. PJ.

261
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: Washington just kind of plays like a big Yeah. They

262
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: did it. They did their thing and the thunder. We're

263
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: going for the let's to see if we can outscore

264
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: them method, and it just didn't happen because getting missed

265
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: the free throw at the end. Who else missed the

266
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: free throw at the end? Jay Williams I think missed

267
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: the free throw at the end. Then they had a

268
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: three pointer, had a chance to win it, but they

269
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: just didn't play quite well enough to pull off a

270
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: win against a scrappy Hornets team I know who's been

271
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: playing pretty decent. I don't remember exactly what the defensive

272
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: numbers are, but I know they've actually been a solid

273
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: defensive team.

274
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: I believe they're the best defensive team since the All

275
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: Star Break, because.

276
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that, but it sounds unbelievable. I

277
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: know these Skeets. There wasn't defense in this game, but

278
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: you can tell the Hornets are at least playing hard.

279
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Shout out to them on the win. The Guinea miss

280
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: at the free throw line I heard on the broadcast.

281
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: It was Michael Cage. He said it was a pinball

282
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: that didn't go down. Oh yeah, it really rattled. Oh okay, pinball,

283
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: you don't Oh no, wait, that was a pinball that

284
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: did go down. He went one for two at the line.

285
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: The first one, yes, finally went in. Yeah, that makes

286
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: more sense. Yes, that's right.

287
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: And then the other Western Conference victory last night was

288
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies beating the Magic Desmond Bean with thirty one.

289
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: He had some late free throws came through in the

290
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: clutch there as they got another victory. They continue to

291
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: like rack up wins here. There was no Jahn Morant

292
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: in this game. But yeah, the Grizzlies, man, they are

293
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: rolled in right now at the perfect time because the

294
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: playoffs start very very soon. And let's show you the

295
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: Western Conference playoff picture. After everything that happened there last night.

296
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: The Thunders stay in tenth. They are tied with the

297
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: Mavericks thirty seven and thirty nine records. And you see

298
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: the Pelicans there who have moved up to eighth. I

299
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: mean they had been on a nice little run, brandon

300
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: Ingram playing really well. They're five hundred and the Warriors

301
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: in sixth right now, a half game up on the Wolves.

302
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: So any thoughts here on on this madness in the West.

303
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that is a disappointing loss for the

304
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Thunder just because it would have really helped to secure

305
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: a spot in the play in tournaments. Also, some hilarious

306
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: trivia for the Thunder. They had three guys who scored

307
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: in thirty in a game last night. It was the

308
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: third time it's happened for him the Thunder in their history. Westbrook,

309
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Harden and Durant did it back in twenty twelve. That

310
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yep, that totally makes sense. Happened again in

311
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen Westbrook, Anthony Morrow and Ennis Canter. Okay, wouldn't

312
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: have got that thirty plus. And then last night who

313
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: were the thirties for? Okay, See you're talking about Giddy

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: Williams and Isaiah Joe who was on fire Years last night.

315
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: So that's just a funny little note.

316
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: But uh, Poku didn't go for thirty last night.

317
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: He was back. Did Poku score last night? No? He

318
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: didn't yeah ten minutes, two blocks, though no points as

319
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: for blocking. Jared Jackson Junior another huge block dunk, this

320
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: one on Polo Boncaro. Not quite as violent as the

321
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: John Collins won, but he had another great game. And

322
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Xavier Tillman has been really solid for the Grizzlies, stepping

323
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: into the starting lineup with both Steven Adams out Brandon

324
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: Clark out. He had a career high twenty last night.

325
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: He started twenty five games for the Grizzlies. Now they're

326
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: sixteen and nine, but thirteen and four in their last

327
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: seventeen since he came back into the starting lineup. He

328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: was out of the rotation for a second that he

329
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: came back in. He has been a really solid presence

330
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: for them. I don't necessarily know exactly how he will

331
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: hold up come playoff time, but he has helped hold

332
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: the fort for the Grizzlies, and that's why they've been

333
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: able to stay where they are in the Western Conference.

334
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: For sure, Let's move to the East. I'll throw all

335
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: three games at you and we can talk about all

336
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: of them or none of them if you want. We

337
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: had Scottie Barnes score in twenty two. He had a

338
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: career high twelve assists as the Raptors beat the Heat.

339
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: They were helped out with no Jimmy Butler in that

340
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: game up there. The Hawks held on to beat Donovan

341
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Mitchell in the Cavaliers sort of a wild ending. There

342
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: was a very controversial, I think call involving to John

343
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: Tay Murray there and Mobley, and they went and looked

344
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: at it and he ended up getting the free throws.

345
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: And then we had the shorthanded Wizards crushing the Celtics

346
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: one thirty to one eleven, probably the most surprising result

347
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: on the night. So Raps win, Hawks win, and the

348
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: Celtics lose. Wizards are trying to stay around in that

349
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: play in picture, they're trying to chase down your wraps

350
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: and Bulls.

351
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: There any thoughts, Yeah, honestly a bad night for the

352
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Bulls last night with the Hawks, Raptors, and Wizards winning.

353
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: The Bulls lost to the Clippers on Monday night and

354
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: they got to play the Lakers tonight. So tough one

355
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: for Chicago, but I was hoping we were gonna get

356
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: a Jay Skeetz. The Raptors are back to five hundred today,

357
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: five hundred for the first time since December. It's gonna

358
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: be exciting. Been a long time.

359
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: The last time the Raps were five hundred, they were

360
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: thirteen and thirteen, and basically early December they're thirty eight

361
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: and thirty eight. Look, that was one of the best

362
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: games I've seen the Raptors play all year. Now they're

363
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: playing the Heat, who are at times like the Raptors

364
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: and can't score at all. And then they didn't have

365
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, so I like, I can't get too excited,

366
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: but man, I love seeing siakam Og and Scottie Barnes

367
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: all playing well on the same night. You know, that's

368
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: that's important. And it was weird. They were up six

369
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: at half, they had hit one three point and you

370
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: know they hit. We went on to hit a couple

371
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: more in this game the Raptors did, but like they

372
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 2: didn't do it there, they did it in Fast Breakpoint's

373
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: dominating inside sixty two to thirty six. And I thought,

374
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: like Scottie Barnes, man, when you see these games, joy, well,

375
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: this guy is he's a star. I mean, he's an

376
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: all star if he plays at this lave level and

377
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: he progresses at this level because he's scary good he's

378
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: got those Draymond green Light qualities of course in terms

379
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: of his playmaking and stuff like that, being a bigger guy.

380
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: But that was a big win.

381
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: I just like, no, Jimmy, I can't get I can't

382
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: get too pumped about it.

383
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to get excited in a game where

384
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: both teams don't combine to score two hundred points. Yeah,

385
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: but the or no, when they hold opponents under one hundred,

386
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. They took thirteen more

387
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: shots last night because, like you said, they won the

388
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: offensive rebounding game, they won the turnover battle, ergo, they

389
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: win fast break points and points in the paint. He

390
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody assumes they're going to be better

391
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs slash the play in but I really

392
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: think the Raptors and the Bulls could both beat Miami

393
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: any given night in one of those games, and it

394
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: basically comes down to only two games for him. So

395
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: that's something to watch out. Foreign Man Barnes was Barnes

396
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: was awesome. Oh my god, a donkey head was wicked

397
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: as well. My statue of Liberty Dunk as it was

398
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: called on the broadcast. Really great stuff. As for Hawks,

399
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: versus Calves. Major win for Atlanta. I thought, all things considered,

400
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of surprised that they pulled it out the way

401
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell was playing in the fourth quarter. He just

402
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: kind of ran out of magic at the very end.

403
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: You know, he was he was on fire in the

404
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, had a couple of three point looks in

405
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: the final twelve seconds that could have gone in. But

406
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: also Cleveland kind of got jobbed on the Dejonte Murray

407
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: three point. He took a shot from the left wing.

408
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: He follows through with his body and his legs going forward,

409
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: hits the Michael Jackson smooth criminal lean underneath Evan Moveley's feet.

410
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: They go and review it. It ends up being confirmed

411
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: as it was called a foul. It was called away,

412
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: so they do their challenge. They lose the challenge, which

413
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: means he gets three free throws, which he makes all

414
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: three of them clutch stuff. Also hit a clutch jumper

415
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: A little bit. Almost worse was that Cleveland also lost

416
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: their last time out, so when it came down to it,

417
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: they just had to go for a desperation heave for

418
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: Mitchell at the buzzer. He put it on the pretty close. Yeah,

419
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: they brought it.

420
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: They brought bound the ball. Yeah, hit Mitchell and he

421
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: didn't miss my bunch.

422
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you could understand why JB. Bickerstaff was upset

423
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: in the post game.

424
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was I think you saw it and then

425
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: you saw the replay and you're like, oh, they'll probably

426
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: overturn that one. Yeah, Like, I don't know about that one. Instead,

427
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: they stood and he hit and like, you know, good

428
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: on Murray to hit the free throws. He was great

429
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: in this game for them, But.

430
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: That was a big win. I saw.

431
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 2: Blake Murphy had a tweet trying to make sense of

432
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: the East play and tiebreaker chaos. I believe this is

433
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: how it goes again, shout tour guy Blake Murphy in Canada.

434
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: Atlanta has the tiebreaker over Toronto. Toronto has the tiebreaker

435
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 2: over Miami and Chicago. Chicago has the tiebreaker over Miami,

436
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: Atlanta and Brooklyn. Miami has the tiebreaker over Atlanta, and

437
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 2: Brooklyn has the tiebreaker over Atlanta, Miami, and Toronto. I know,

438
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: I just said that out loud, and that sounds like

439
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: stupid as shit, because like what that couldn't even have

440
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: made sense right barely it does. That's the jumble there

441
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: with these teams, and like it's wild to think, like

442
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: a who knows a game that you lost in January

443
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: in a particular series, a season series could hurt you

444
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: in terms of are you hosting, are you on the road,

445
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: do you have to win twice? Are you even in

446
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Like that type of thing. So good stuff

447
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 2: there from Blake. I'm trusting Blake on that one. He's

448
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: a very smart guy. He's kind of all the spreadsheets

449
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: and stuff, like he's keeping track.

450
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like, thinking back to it, I know that

451
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: the Raptors lost to the Hawks on a buzzer beater

452
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: aj Griffin. The Balls lost to the Hawks on a

453
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: buzzer beater. The Hawks lost to the Bulls on a

454
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: buzzer beater.

455
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: Good.

456
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't not remember the specifics of every Miami versus

457
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Toronto versus Atlanta game, but all of these teams have

458
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: been close. I was taking a shower today and just

459
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: thinking these are gonna be disgusting games in the Eastern

460
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Conference play in tournament because the Balls, the Raptors, the

461
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Heat and the Nets got good defenses, really good defenses,

462
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: but can go through huge periods where they cannot score

463
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: in the half court. Then you look at the Hawks.

464
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: They've got a really good offense. Sometimes we saw them

465
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: get completely taken out of their game in the playoffs

466
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: last season against the Heat. So we could be looking

467
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: at games in the nineties throughout the play in tournament

468
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: to be ugly.

469
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it wouldn't be a play in tournament

470
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: in the East if we didn't have a couple ugly

471
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: games we're usually good for, like a I don't know,

472
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: the Wizards in there, and some.

473
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Blowouts by like a combined seventy five points or something.

474
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: So maybe we don't get that, but you're right, weight

475
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: could have some because I have some rock fights there

476
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: and we'll see who who comes out victorious there between

477
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: our teams and yeah, the Hawks maybe, and the and

478
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 2: the Heat and all of that stuff. So wild night

479
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 2: there once again in the Association. The only other note

480
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: I have from that Hawk's victory, the streak was on

481
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: the line. I saw Schumann tweeting about it. If the

482
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: Hawks had lost and the Calves had pulled it out,

483
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: then that streak of the Hawks always being within one

484
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: game of five hundred would have ended last night because

485
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: they would have fallen two below five hundred, but nope,

486
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: they get the victory.

487
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: They're back to five hundred, and the Schuman said, the

488
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: steep the streak continues. That's the great thing about this streak. Yeah,

489
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: pull off that win. It's like winning two more. Yeah,

490
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: that's right. It'll be either above or below for the

491
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: next one. And then trying to get back. Capella I

492
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: thought was huge in this game for the Hawks. It

493
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: just it was strange to see the Hawks looking like

494
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: the bigger team without Jared Allen out there. Mobley played

495
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: incredibly well, but Capella had a hook with like four

496
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: and a half minutes left, took the lead, had a

497
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: dunk off a nice play with a minute and forty

498
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: five seconds left, take the lead again. And then when

499
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: Mintchel missed the three with nine seconds left, his first

500
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: clutch miss late in the fourth quarter, another rebound by

501
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Cappella he and a congo were he was going to

502
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: say two was also good. Congu. What a weird line

503
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: went to the line for twelve free thrust. Yeah, at

504
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: one point he had like twenty points. But he's three

505
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: for three from the field. They're just hacking them. I

506
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: don't know, just weird lineups all things considered, but the

507
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Hawks gritted that one out.

508
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: And we had a nice little bonding moment between Quinn

509
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 2: Snyder and Donovan Mitchell.

510
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: That's nice.

511
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: After the game, back to their jet stice. We're gonna

512
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: take our first break when we come back, though. We're

513
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: gonna get into is this news talk about Katie's potential

514
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: return tonight. That's looking likely. Bradley Beale involved in some

515
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: weird altercation. We'll get into it all in this news.

516
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, all right, back in the factory, Skeets

517
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: tk JD. We got shoe here in the stream team

518
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: with a quick correction. It was the Hornets there that

519
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: just got dominated in two games. There a play in tournament,

520
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: so no Hornets this year, but we'll see those, see

521
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: those type of games we get between the four teams

522
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: that are ultimately in it. We're still figuring it out.

00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,520

528
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: tomorrow though, and no buffs. Let's get into is this news.

529
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, is this news.

530
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,239
Speaker 2: Got some headlines for Trey Kirby and everybody joining us

531
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: live listening later, tell me.

532
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Whether or not they're newsworthy.

533
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: First one from Easy Central. I think it's part of

534
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: USA today. I like the headline, said Slim Reaper on

535
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: the Way.

536
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: That was a quote from Eaton.

537
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: I think Kevin Durant to return from injury tonight versus

538
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: the Tea Wolves. These are the reports Trey Kirby. Durant

539
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: will be back his first home game. Yeah, for the

540
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns if everything goes okay in pregame warmups.

541
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: I guess it's a question. Unfortunately it's a question, but yeah,

542
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: this is news and you're right. DeAndre Ayton was hilarious.

543
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: And this piece by Dwayne Rankin over at the Azy

544
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: Central Slim Reaper on the Way man said eight and

545
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: A bought Durant. Things are kind of cloudy respect. I

546
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: guess Kevin Durant is the son of the Phoenix Suns.

547
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: But it's exciting to see Kevin Durant actually coming back. Yeap.

548
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: The Sons looked great when he was on the court

549
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: three and zero and then the weirdest injury that we've

550
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: seen until Jonathan Kaminga did the exact same thing. But

551
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: the Sons have five of their last seven games at home,

552
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: which means it looks like they're gonna have a chance

553
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: to really lock into the fourth seed. I don't think

554
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna make it to three. They're five games back Sacramento,

555
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: but I did like what Dwayne Rankin said. If Durant

556
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: plays Wednesday, he'll finally make that home debut before what

557
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: is sure to be an extremely lit sellout crowd. Okay,

558
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: it's official, it's gonna be extremely lit Clippers last day

559
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: of the season for the Suns. That's gonna be a

560
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: huge game seeding wise, because I don't know, people have

561
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: been speculating that Phoenix might want to drop to number six,

562
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe the Clip will want to drop to number six,

563
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: because if you're talking about the top seeds in the

564
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: Western Conference, certainly the Kings are the juiciest matchup, having

565
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: zero play it off experience. But I'm just excited to

566
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: see Kevin Durant back on the court again, especially considering

567
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: how well Booker's been playing since he's been out. If

568
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: those two can figure out how to play well together,

569
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: which I assume they're gonna be able to do pretty easily. Yikes.

570
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so wild with the Katie. We've done this

571
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: so many times of this guy coming back from injury

572
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: that we're just like, yeah, like there's no like, ah.

573
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, they'll slow play it.

574
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, maybe he'll have a rough game, Like it's

575
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: like he comes back from injury and it's just like

576
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: he never had one. Like he's just like you can

577
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: pencil him in for twenty five to thirty points. I mean,

578
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: in the three games he played with the Suns, he

579
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 2: shot sixty nine percent, very nice from the floor, all

580
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: of them wins, and you just expect him and maybe

581
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: we shouldn't. I don't know, maybe like, uh, we're gonna

582
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: regret this, but it's like, Okay, Kevin Durant, just put

583
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: him back in the lineup and there you go. There's

584
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: thirty points, gonna hit a bunch of jumpers, a couple

585
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 2: of threes. You know, he's gonna disrupt some shit inside.

586
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: He's got all that length and that's probably what will

587
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 2: happen here. But yeah, the schedule is interesting here for

588
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: the Suns. They play Minnesota tonight at home, then they

589
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: have Denver on Friday, then they're in Okac on the weekend.

590
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: Then they have a couple more games at home against

591
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: the Spurs and the Nuggets again that one on TNT.

592
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: There's a back to back there at the end of

593
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 2: next week. It's Denver and then in LA and then

594
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: final one at home versus the Clippers a game. So yeah,

595
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: you know there's some good teams that are obviously the

596
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Nuggets Minnesota tonight, okay, see trying to get into the

597
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: play in and then two LA teams really your easy

598
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: ones if you want to call them that, or really

599
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: just Spurs. So we'll see here if they can pick

600
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: up where they left off when they got Katie at

601
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: the deadline here.

602
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hope we get to see kind of

603
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: a full strength Phoenix game versus a full strength Denver game.

604
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 1: You know, we're getting pretty late in the season when

605
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: we're starting to get some rest for the playoffs. But

606
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: neither of these are going to be terrible schedule disadvantage

607
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: games for Phoenix. I haven't really checked into Denver to

608
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: see if they're on the second night of a back

609
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: to back or anything like that, but those are big

610
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: time potential playoff matchups. It'd be awesome to see these

611
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: two teams kind of getting sharp for the playoffs against

612
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: each other. It would, but I.

613
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: Do wonder will there be a little gamesmanship here from

614
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: Michael Malone and the Nuggets? Sure, you know, not really

615
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: wanting to show them anything. These teams could meet in

616
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: the second round if two games, like are you gonna

617
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: go full squad? Are you gonna like throw the kitchen

618
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: sink at them? Do you do the thing like let's

619
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: send the message to impete there as Yeah, we're not

620
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: afraid of you. We'll see in the second round. Or

621
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: is it like again like hey, you take a night

622
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: off here, yo, kich or you so and so take

623
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: a night off and like we don't go full full

624
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: soldiers out there.

625
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: We'll see.

626
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: They do have a back to back the hornet excuse me,

627
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: the Nuggets to starting Thursday and Friday. So yeah, it

628
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: would be the second game against the Suns on Friday night.

629
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, also in Phoenix for Friday, March thirty first, Like

630
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: you're saying, I could see that being U pill kind

631
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: of game for Denver. So maybe the April sixth matchup

632
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: looks to be a little juice here since both teams

633
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: will be decently rested.

634
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: Next headline here from ESPN Brooklyn Nets shutting down Ben

635
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: Simmons for rest of the season.

636
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: What is this news? This is huge, man, this is

637
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: good news. Come on, the guy's played one hundred minutes

638
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: in two months. Wow. I don't know. I don't really

639
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: have many takes. Ben Simmons had back surgery last summer.

640
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: I think he's been out of the reason or out

641
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: of the lineup for knee soreness. That's what they were

642
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: saying as of late. But this is a back impingement.

643
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: I thought Zachlo nailed it when he was talking about

644
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons being shut down. It just feels like Ben

645
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Simmons is no longer part of the plans for the

646
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. And I think that's really shown when you

647
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: look at the top two headlines on the Athletic when

648
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you click on the Brooklyn Nets page. On one side,

649
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: it says Nets rule Ben Simmons out for season. On

650
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: the other side, it says, I just want to play

651
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: every game Nets. Michale Bridges is more than the NBA

652
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: iron man. He's determined. They have moved on right. Unfortunately,

653
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: they still have to pay Ben Simmons a lot of

654
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: money for the rest of this season and next season

655
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: and the season after.

656
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's under contract through twenty four to twenty five season.

657
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he has.

658
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: He's only twenty six years old. I mean, it feels

659
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: like he's been around for a lot longer than that.

660
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: Turns twenty seven in July. I'm excited to listen to

661
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: the Glue Guys podcast, the Great Nets podcasts, part of

662
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 2: the Athletic Network. They're going to be tackling questions like

663
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: can we blame Ben simmons brutal season here on these injuries?

664
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: What should the Nets off seasons plan be with him?

665
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: And is Ben Simmons even tradable at this point with

666
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: that contract and the guy not playing now, there is

667
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: news from his agent that he is not going to

668
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: require surgery here, That's what his agent is saying, and

669
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: that he has every expectation to be a Day one

670
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: participant come camp, become the next start of next season,

671
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: no restrictions or issues. That's again his agent telling that

672
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: to NBA insider Ian Begley. But I wonder how much

673
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: of this is just for the Nets. The rest of

674
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: the Nets players and their organization too, right, just like

675
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: forget this idea, whispers of like, oh, could Ben come

676
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: back for a playoff series? Could he come back for

677
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: Game three? Like, let's just end that noise right now,

678
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: these are our guys. Let's go and try and you know,

679
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: put up a fight in a potential playoff series or

680
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: even trying to get in through the play in and

681
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 2: just like have none of that and not that even

682
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: when he was playing, he was really doing a whole

683
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: lot of it. Because maybe it is the injuries, but

684
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: it is a little strange, like what is it the knees?

685
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: Is it the back? Is it both? Is it mental?

686
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: Does that include?

687
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: Like fans were definitely left in the dark with Ben

688
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: Simmons this season, I would say, on sort of to

689
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: the extent of the injuries and what was keeping them out,

690
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is sort of just this isn't news

691
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 2: because it's old news unfortunately.

692
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're right. I suppose this is probably

693
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: best for the Brooklyn Nets who are actually going to

694
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: be playing. They don't have to answer any kind of

695
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: question or that Jacques Vaon doesn't have to give updates

696
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: further on into the playoffs or the play in, whatever

697
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: it may be. Ben Simmons is putting up a six

698
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: six and six line this season, barely playing. So it

699
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: ain't news, and it will be news if we ever

700
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: see Ben Simmons average ten points a game again in

701
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: the NBA. I think that will only be news. Wow.

702
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: Next headline, it's a weird one from the athletic the Wizards.

703
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal's postgame confrontation with fan prompts police investigation. Okay,

704
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: so that's the headline. I'll give you the details here.

705
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: Beal is under police investigation after a postgame incident with

706
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 2: a fan in Orlando who claimed to have lost a bet. Now,

707
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: according to the reports, last week, after a road loss

708
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: to the Magic, an unidentified man remarked to Beale as

709
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: he was walking back to the locker room, you made

710
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 2: me lose thirteen hundred dollars f Beal, according to the report,

711
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: turned around, walked toward a friend of the man who

712
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: had made the comment, swatted his right hand, knocked the

713
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: dude's hat off, and in doing so, contacted the left

714
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: side of his head. Hence the police report. Here from

715
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: this guy, I guess saying, ah, you hurt my hat

716
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: or I have bad hair, he showed the world, and

717
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: then you made contact with my face and I wasn't

718
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: the guy that said this. It was my dumb ass buddy,

719
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: I guess.

720
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: So I hope he said you hurt my hat, not

721
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: my hat. Well, so Bradley Beal did did this? You

722
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: know what? This is? Cap gun his head? Just some

723
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: loser behavior here, Yeah, by these guys. The only thing

724
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: that went poorly is that Bradley Beal got the wrong guy.

725
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: So hopefully he settles out of court and there is

726
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: no NBA punishment for Beale. And then they banned these

727
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: two guys because this is ridiculous.

728
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the idea that they're just dropping f bombs

729
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 2: on him over a bet they lost. Hey, by the way,

730
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was legal to bet and floor

731
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 2: put these guys in jail.

732
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: No hats, throw the book out of hats. I mean

733
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: that's what you get for Brett betting on the Wizards

734
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: as well.

735
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sort of want to know the best, Like

736
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: did he just have a but was it like a

737
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: specific Bradley Beal prop bet like points was a part

738
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: of a huge like thirteen hundred dollars, Like I assume

739
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 2: this guy had a crazy parlay going.

740
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, Like I got a lot of questions about

741
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: the actual bet. This was. This is what the magic game.

742
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Magic Wizards got. Yeah, you're first off,

743
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 2: you're right. You're an absolute sick man, a gambling problem.

744
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 2: Call all those numbers you hear on all those ad reads.

745
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: Man, Jesus, Yeah, you gotta. When you're telling Siri to

746
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: fast forward for a minute, you better say a minute

747
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: and a half because of the disclaimers these days. But

748
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: let's see here, Bradley Beal that game sixteen points on

749
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: fifteen shot attempts, so he was definitely playing the over on.

750
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: I think so looking at a Magic team saying, oh yeah,

751
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: this is this is a big deal game. Should have

752
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: bet on porzingis buddy.

753
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the idea is, like you made

754
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: me lose thirteen hundred. He didn't make a bet for

755
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred.

756
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: You think it was like I bet one hundred bucks.

757
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: He got, he got some parlay going and probably the

758
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 2: only party didn't hit.

759
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what my gut says. But anyway, and then

760
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: he got his friend contacted in the head. Oh yeah,

761
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: like tough night out at the like the Amway.

762
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: So the play here is it feels like, yeah, we

763
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: lost our bet because of you. Uh, and then you know,

764
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: we thought we could say whatever we wanted to you.

765
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: You came over, you stepped to us, and he knocked

766
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: my guy's hat off, and you know, maybe brushed his face.

767
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

768
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 2: But oh oh, oh man, I would love a Bradley

769
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: Beal jersey that I could maybe sell on email, maybe signed,

770
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: maybe some tickets, maybe some upcoming tickets.

771
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: Ah.

772
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: You know that's what he's doing here, fucking losers.

773
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's exactly. It's a just complete loser behavior.

774
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal should not give them a jersey though, No,

775
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope not, But that'd be pretty funny.

776
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Cherry Blossoms Wizard's at final one here sort of

777
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: speaking of feuds, it's a couple of days old now.

778
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: But why not let's slip it in From The New

779
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: York Post.

780
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley Kevin Durant feud escalates over sixty Minutes interview.

781
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: Barkley was on Sunday Night's episode of Sixty Minutes on CBS,

782
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: and he used his airtime to take more shots at

783
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. Here's the quote. He's very sensitive, Barkley said,

784
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: great player, He's part of that generation who thinks he

785
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: can't be criticized. He's never looked in the mirror, says man.

786
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: Is that a fair criticism? Durant quick to respond on Twitter,

787
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: This ain't getting tiring, Chuck, he asked, I'll never respect

788
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 2: the words that come out of your mouth.

789
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Just deal with it.

790
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: So this is just the latest chapter here, I guess

791
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 2: in the the very weird Barkley Durant feud.

792
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: Is this news? I mean, I guess it's news since

793
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: these are two of the greatest players ever, you know,

794
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: the greatest Phoenix Suns ever. Just bickering with each other basketball.

795
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: It's a trash talk in sports skeets. Unfortunately that carries

796
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: over to the media. Charles Barkley is going to be

797
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: asked about Kevin Durant probably in every interview he does

798
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: for their at least the rest of Kevin Durant's career, sure,

799
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: because he's always going to answer and he's always going

800
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: to take shots at KD. So yeah, I agree with KD.

801
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: It's getting a little tiring. But also then KD is

802
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: tweeting things like I'm not gonna lie. I'd be bothered

803
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: by NBA greats that are jealous generations that come after them.

804
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: That's just me though. So KT's right and Barkley's right. Yeah,

805
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna keep talking about each other because

806
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: they're different personalities.

807
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Barkley, you're right, is going to keep talking

808
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: about it because that's what Barkley does. He has a

809
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 2: point and he keeps saying it over and.

810
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: Over and over and over and over again.

811
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: This goes back to Barkley calling Durant a bus rider

812
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: and not a bus driver, and then he later went

813
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 2: on a radio station in Arizona. He called Durant mister miserable. Yes,

814
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: so I think what's interesting And I saw Durant having

815
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 2: si exchanges on Twitter with other people about this. It's

816
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: like these are like very like it's not to do

817
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 2: with his basketball at all. It's about his personality, true, right,

818
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: this he's miserable and this like he can't be criticized,

819
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: and it's you know, it's not about obviously his skills,

820
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: because Barkley's even on record saying, of course he is

821
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: one of the greatest payers of all time. But it's

822
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: like when does this end? Like are we going to

823
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: get like ten, fifteen, twenty years from now? You know,

824
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: we had like the Magic Johnson Isaiah Thomas like sit

825
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: down for sure and the tears are flowing. Are we

826
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: gonna get a weird Barkley KD where they clear the

827
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 2: air like ten years from now?

828
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: Probably? Honestly, probably yes, because I mean by the time

829
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant retires, we'll have what thirty five forty years

830
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: of Charles Barkley being in the media and fifteen years

831
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: of Kevin Durant having his own production company at that point,

832
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: So probably it'll be a Kevin Durant production finally having

833
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: to sit down with Charles Barkley to hash out their

834
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: past where they both agree, you're a player. No, you're

835
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: a great player. I really respected the way you handled

836
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: your career. Wait wait, wait wait you joined up with

837
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of Hall of famers as well. Yeah, yeah,

838
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: so did you. The thing with Barkley, though, is that

839
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: his superpower is that anytime somebody comes at him for

840
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: not winning a ring, he's like, you're absolutely right, I

841
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: never won a ring. That's why I'm not one of

842
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: the greats. He takes it exactly on himself because that

843
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: is the biggest knock on Barkley. So what can you

844
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: say to him in that scenario, He's like, Yeah, the

845
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: one thing that is my biggest staying on my career,

846
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,479
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent agree with everybody. Ergo, I'm gonna

847
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: say what's wrong with everybody else's career.

848
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. It would be fascinating if

849
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant were to bring Phoenix their first title, and

850
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 2: then that could get even extra awkward with obviously Chuck

851
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 2: being a Phoenix Suns legend and living there.

852
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: Of course, maybe that's when we get the sit down.

853
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's when it happens right after they would Yeah,

854
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 2: do you.

855
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: Think Barkley would give Durant a lot of credit for

856
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: this championship? Durant would be the number one guy. He

857
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: is the best player the Suns, but Devin Booker obviously

858
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: started this era for Phoenix. He's an All NBA caliber

859
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: player as well. And clearly Katie went from a poor

860
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: situation to a great situation once again, I don't know.

861
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: It's a dangerous game to try and put yourself in

862
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: the mind of Charles Barkley.

863
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

864
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I love Chuck, but of course he says

865
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: things where I'm like, what, like what are you talking about?

866
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: That's insane? Yes, but that is his superpower.

867
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 2: He can sort of say anything and it's gonna get

868
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 2: not only headlines, but a lot of people agree with them,

869
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 2: and even the people that don't agree with him going,

870
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 2: h just.

871
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: Chuck, that's it's incredible.

872
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 2: And so there's not many people in media that could

873
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: do that.

874
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

875
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to the question. I don't

876
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: think so, but it'd be weird not to, like if

877
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: it me Kevin Durant does lead the Suns, like, of

878
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: course Booker's there, Chris Paul and all that, like, but

879
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: I assume if the Sons were to win a title

880
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: this year or next, it's because of Kevin Durant scoring

881
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 2: thirty games and do it all is Kevin Durant things.

882
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: So it's like, how could he not like get another

883
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: finals MVP and have three of them now and do

884
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 2: it in Phoenix, a team you couldn't do it with,

885
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: Like you'd at some point have to say, all, right,

886
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: are not you're ye? Well, maybe Chuck would go are

887
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: you still miserable?

888
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: But that's probably what he would say. Yeah, yeah, because

889
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Durant would say something about Charles Barkley after winning the title,

890
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: and'd be like, yeah, but see, I was the first

891
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: person he brought up, was I tell you? Yeah? Yeah?

892
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 2: And you know, I think Jerome here in the slack

893
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: brings up a good point. We've never had a Barkley

894
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: Jordan sit.

895
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: Down, have we.

896
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 2: Those two guys do not let Jordan grudges go right?

897
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 2: I mean, by all accounts say maybe our friends, but

898
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: we've never had that for the for for us. I

899
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: guess the show of it, all right, So maybe that

900
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 2: will never happen between Kevin Durant and and Chuck. Let's

901
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: hear your thoughts on on this feud. I guess we

902
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 2: can call it that. Do you side with one of

903
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: them more than the other? Is Barkley? Has he gone

904
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: too far with it? Maybe you agree with all of it.

905
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: Let's hear your thoughts, guys. We'll take our final break

906
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: when we come back, pick the results and tweet in

907
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 2: the night, go anywhere, all right, back here in the factory.

908
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 2: Just give me a sec. I gotta check into my flight.

909
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: You know I like to do that promptly. Yeah, let

910
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: me just add that to my Apple wallet.

911
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: Sixteen d Okay chimes into the woo I think that's good.

912
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: I think that's great. Anything below twenty is great. True,

913
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: I agree on that. I'm silver medallion now too. Hey.

914
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: I have a question about that though, because it still

915
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 2: says zone one a zone for boarding as main one,

916
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 2: but silver medallion. I'm pretty sure I get priority boarding.

917
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: So do I just like ignore the.

918
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: Main one and say silver coming through? Silver? Silver, you

919
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: gotta wear your medallion. That'd sort of cool. I forgot

920
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: the medallion at home. God, how embarrassed would you be

921
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: if they kicked you back?

922
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: Though?

923
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: No, I don't care exactly. Yeah, yeah, so just go right.

924
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: But I'm embarrassed when I see other people do it.

925
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: You're embarrassed for them? Yeah, yeah, but I don't give

926
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: a shit.

927
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 2: You get on the I think I think it's my

928
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: god given right as a silver medallion.

929

Speaker 1: Who learned it? You earned that status?

930
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you I got status by not flying, just

931
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: by using my credit card way too much.

932
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: It's not from flying. I don't fly that often.

933
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm off tomorrow. I will see you guys

946
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: on the season. Task took the l once again. He's

947
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: six and fourteen because we had the Warriors. They had

948
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: to win by ten or more. Nice nice pass from

949
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: Curry to Clay to hit a bomb to really seal

950
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,839

953
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: take the Chicago Bulls. They're at home and you know,

954
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: small line, they're dogs plus one and a half. Tessa

955
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: and I take in the LA Lakers.

956
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: Got to win by two or more. Big game here

957
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: for both teams. Let's be honest. Yeah, mcconnells to getting

958
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: into the play, especially considering last night all the teams

959
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: that the bulls are right around in the play and

960
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: chase all one and the balls obviously lost. On Monday

961
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: night against Clips against the Clippers beat the Lakers in

962
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: La in Lebron's first game back. I see here that

963
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: he is over under only twenty four and a half

964
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: points Lebron for tonight, Patrick Beverley too small. The guy

965
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: in the face gave a stinky to the crowd. He

966
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: was he was really trolling Lebron. It was also Lebron's

967
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: first game back. He's getting his legs under him. Yep,

968
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: he's getting his rhythm back.

969
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 2: Are you are you telling me he'd like to put

970
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: on a hat, place a bet, fly to Chicago.

971
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: We'll use my silver medallion status, okay, and I'll get there.

972
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: And then whether we put a bunch of money on

973
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: Lebron going over twenty four and a half and if

974
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 2: he does it, when he's walking back to the tunnel,

975
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 2: we get pissed off with him.

976
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, here's the thing. I'll put the bet in.

977
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to pick the slaps to the hell.

978
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: That's fine. Were your most padded hat just in case

979
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: you get contacted. Yeah, I'm a little nervous about this one,

980
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: but we'll see. I've had a couple of miracle covers

981
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: the last few months.

982
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have, both of us really have, all right, Well,

00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to tweet in the night threed overnight.

986
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: Wow, just a fun little exchange here on Twitter. I

987
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: saw last night at Clee Speculator. So at Cleveland Speculator

988
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,120

992
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: in the gym, which it really does. There's no one else.

993
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 1: In the scene. I know, it's completely empty.

994
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: With Donovan at the line and then Sarah Spain chiming

995
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: in to Renee.

996
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: You look like a scout at a private workout.

997
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 2: As Renee is taking in the game there. But yeah,

998
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 2: Renee a legend here in the ETL scene, and she

999
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 2: was into the game. I was obviously watching this one

1000
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: down the stretch and she was right there sitting courtside

1001
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 2: and was going nuts on especially on that de Jonte

1002
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 2: mur very tough, feing away, really nice.

1003
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: He's up going like this.

1004
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: I always like to see people that sit in the

1005
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: front row show some emotion. Yeah, afraid to stand up

1006
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: and get into the game. You know, you feel like

1007
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: because you're in the front row that you got to

1008
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 2: play it cool. Sure, got to sit down, don't block

1009
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 2: anyone's view.

1010
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: Naw, don't been there.

1011
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: If anything, you should be more into it. You're catching

1012
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 2: the game at its best right there, the sounds of

1013
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: it all sweat landing on you. You should be standing NonStop.

1014
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: Hey, mad respect to he re named Montgomery because there

1015
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: was what like seventeen seconds gone in the second half

1016
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: and she's posted up there back in her steady for it.

1017
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: But I'm with your skeets. Gone are the days of

1018
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: old man knees at the Philadelphia seventy six ers games

1019
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: and crouched on the court basically living and dying with

1020
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: his team. People play it too cool in general in

1021
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: that front row, yep, there to be seen and see

1022
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: what's going on and loving it.

1023
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe some of these people. It's like, I

1024
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 2: paid one hundred thousand dollars for a seat. I better

1025
00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: sit in the seat.

1026
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: Be cool. If you can be like big chair respectors,

1027
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: I'll just like, I got a chair. Cool.

1028
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: If you can be like, I want to sit. I

1029
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: want to be court side. I don't want to sit.

1030
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: Can I get it for half price if I just

1031
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: you removed my seat and I can just stand there

1032
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: or crouch.

1033
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: Half court stands or court side stands. Court side stands. Yes,

1034
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: you're most likely to catch a ball, that's the case.

1035
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think the only way they could do

1036
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: that is if they banned front road jerseys, because that

1037
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: would be too Got Renae Montgomery standing over there wearing

1038
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: a click Capella jersey. You know she's getting a drop

1039
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: off pass on the sideline. That's a good point.

1040
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: You don't see a lot of that either, people sitting

1041
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 2: courtside in the jerseys.

1042
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: But you're looking for that. You show up in a jersey,

1043
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: they're like, sorry, it's either you or the shirt. Yeah,

1044
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: I gotta go.

1045
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: I've never really thought about that. I mean, I'm sure

1046
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 2: it's happened, but I don't.

1047
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: Think you see it all that often. Again, those are

1048
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: these people are. It's like they're sort of too cool.

1049
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: Usually I'm not.

1050
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, get your fits off, all right, So that's tweeted

1051
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: the night. That's today's podcast. Guys, we'll call it there again,

1052
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: No Bunts. That's up on The Athletic Baseball Show with

1053
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Tass and Joel. If you're a baseball fan, doesn't that

1054
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: start today?

1055
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: Tomorrow? Tomorrow, tomorrow, Thursday? Okay?

1056
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: First pitch? Task said, they're all starting at the exact same.

1057
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Time, all thirty teams. That's incredible.

1058
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: First time in MLV history all thirty teams on the

1059
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 2: same day are playing. Yes, Okay, I was gonna say not,

1060
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 2: did not at the exact same time first pitch, because that.

1061
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: Would be wild. Why would you do that? It'd be cool,

1062
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: it'd be cool, but also.

1063
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 2: Well, it wouldn't work because unless all the East Coast

1064
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: games started at let's say four oh seven first pitch,

1065
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 2: then one o seven on the West coast, Okay, that

1066
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: would be fine.

1067
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise I assume there see think your pitch clocks

1068
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: thirty strikes. That's what I'd be a cool, like, imagine

1069
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: that YouTube short. That'd be really cool. Give me John

00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:30,960

1080
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, at least okay there go, Okay,
