25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: gonna recap last night's action. We're gonna share some must

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: watch NBA games as we hit the home stretch here

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: the regular season. We're gonna talk ress when it comes

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: to tweet of the night. But first we have some

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: major injury news. Reports are that the Lakers are bracing

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: for Lebron to miss multiple weeks with this foot injury

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: that he sustained during Sunday's game against the Mavericks. When

32
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 3: they came back and won, he went down, he tightened

33
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: up that shoe, he continued to play. But now we're

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: hearing tasks multiple weeks. We don't know the full extent

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: really of the injury yet. More tests are you know, pending,

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: but it's not sounding good for Lakers stands.

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 4: Getting old sucks. Lebron played through fifteen seasons at the

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 4: beginning of his career basically injury free. Since getting to LA,

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: four of the five seasons he's sustained some major injuries.

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: Missed major time in year sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: of his career. Yeah, the old Father Time is undefeated.

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: It's true. I think Lebron it's got to go into

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: his post basketball career and defeat Father time.

44
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Somehow figure out a way for us to live forever.

45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: He's got to do it. He's going to be the

46
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 4: one to do it. I think he's going to gather

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: some people. Are we going to live forever? I mean

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 4: we're sort of in Lebron's age bracket.

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: We are not the next generation possible?

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 4: Okay, Trey, all right, they don't do the test. You've

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: got some people, you know, the people, because people say it.

52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: People say that we're going to be the one. I

53
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 4: heard Jared Kushner say it. He's a government yeah.

54
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: And I'm dying tomorrow.

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: Then well, hey, listen.

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: I think Lebron's going to be able to try anyway.

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: Hopefully he lives forever. But the Lakers' chances, I think

58
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: are dead. I think they're done.

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: I know your people.

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: We look at the.

61
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: Western Conference standings and they're you know, just behind the

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 4: play in picture, and there's teams faltering in the play

63
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: in picture right now. Your Pelicans are falling apart. You're

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: jazz as much as I'm a jazz man, are They're

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: not going to be able to sustain this with guys

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: going intot of the line.

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: I just they may.

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 4: I guess they could get in, but I just I

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: just think that they're going to find this as an

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: excuse to not play to their capabilities. They find excuses,

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: I think, And I don't think Anthony is going to

72
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: be able to hold them together for you know, a

73
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: long stretch. I think I think it will be multiple weeks.

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: But who the heck knows?

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: What do you think here? TK Lebron's injury and the

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: chances that the Lakers have of obviously getting so play

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: in or even into the playoffs, pretty much.

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario for the Lakers. They're starting to get

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: it together a little bit after the trade deadline. We

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: saw Malik Beasley win him a game. We saw Jared

81
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt win him a game. It's looking like a nice

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: squad here, and then they lose Lebron for whatever. Multiple

83
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: weeks means. There's only multiple weeks left in the NBA season.

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Even if Lebron misses ten games, that'd only be a

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Five of their next ten are against

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: Western Conference play in candidates. Four of those other games

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: are against good teams, whether in the Eastern Conference are

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: way far ahead in the West. The only real gimme

89
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: is the Rockets. They play them a little bit further

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: on into March. I'm looking at the schedule, March fourteenth

91
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: versus the Pelicans becomes like one of the biggest games

92
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: on the schedule, certainly for the Lakers. Best I could

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: do for a silver lining here is if D'Angelo Russell

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: comes back from his injury quickly, if Anthony Davis plays

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: the way he played the second half against the Dallas Mavericks,

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: and he stays healthy, then they can play five hundred basketball,

97
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: which is a problem because I thought they had to

98
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: play perfect basketball to get up into.

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: The sixth seed.

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: The good news I suppose for the Lakers is that,

101
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: like Tass said, the Pelicans are really struggling. The thunder

102
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: are struggling, the Timberwolves are struggling. The Jazz they play

103
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: hard every single night, But they've been a five hundred

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: team for a while here. So the Lakers, if they

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: get perfect health from their other guys who tend to

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: pick up injuries, and they still get good performances from

107
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: the role players they picked up, maybe they can hang

108
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: on to a tenth seed. They're not even there yet.

109
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is exactly the worst possible thing that

110
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: could have happened.

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lakers, especially on the heels of Lebron saying Overall

112
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: Star Weekend that these are gonna be the twenty three

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: of the most important games of his career, and he

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: plays in one of them and then is now out

115
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: here for an extended time. They play in Memphis tonight,

116
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: we obviously know he's not playing. I don't believed Angela

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: Russell is also playing in that one, so that appears

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: to be a loss. Anything could happen, they don't. They

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: have a better team. If eighty gets back to him

120
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: balling like he was in December, there, maybe they pull

121
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: it out. But then their next three come against teams

122
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: that they're battling for these Western Conference playing spots. The

123
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: Thunder can clinch a tiebreaker over the Lakers on Wednesday,

124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: the Wolves can do the exact same thing on Friday,

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: and then Golden State cannot the season series with the

126
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: Lakers on Sunday. Those are big, big games here, so

127
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: it's you know, I guess their destiny is still in

128
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: their hands here, but they're just not that great a

129
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: team when Lebron usually doesn't play with them. They're five

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: and nine this year without them, and they're thirty six

131
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: and sixty two during his complete tenure with LA. Now,

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: those are all different teams, so you can maybe chuck

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: that out. But not great, not a great record, a

134
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: winning presenters are not going to get them in, is

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: what my point is. So they're gonna have to play

136
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: above and beyond that. And really I think it's it's

137
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: Ad has to carry them here, and he hasn't looked

138
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: incredible outside of you know, the odd half here or

139
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: there since he came back from his own injury.

140
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I said that they'll find an excuse to

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: play well here at the end of the season because

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis came up with an excuse in twenty twenty

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: one when they were injured why they couldn't beat the

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns when they got into the playoffs. And maybe

145
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 4: I'm poking at that one isolated incident, but he's got

146
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: to be a number one guy for fifteen games and

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: they have to have an above five hundred record, and

148
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: that hasn't happened a lot with AD teams in the past.

149
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: So that's a struggle. And they have the fifth hardest

150
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: schedule the rest of the way twenty six in terms

151
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: of strength of schedule.

152
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: That's tough.

153
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: The Western Conference is tough. Maybe if you look at

154
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: this with a glass half full type of approach, and

155
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 4: you see the report that says Lebron is seeking multiple opinions,

156
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: you don't usually see that in a diagnosis beforehand, So

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: maybe it means that there's a chance that he could

158
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: just basically play through injury and that it can't get worse.

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 4: If multiple doctors say it can't get worse, so you

160
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: can play through injury, Lebron, And these now twenty two

161
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: games are the most important of your career, which I

162
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: find funny.

163
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the most important part.

164
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: Basically, it's like Jimmy Butler said this week, we got

165
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: to get going. It's Lebron just saying we gotta get

166
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: going and we got to play well. And it does

167
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: suck that the guys that they have brought in have

168
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: made a difference, but the skid is tough, and everybody

169
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: above them, like Zion could come back for the Pelicans

170
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: even though they are absolutely faltering, and Damian Lillar's dropping

171
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: points there in between the Lakers and the play in

172
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: tournament right now, so there's a bunch of good teams there.

173
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the goal posts have probably moved here right for

174
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: the Lakers, I think with their new acquisitions post All

175
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Star Break, you know, Lebron andy d there, that they

176
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 3: were winning some games and they were like, wow, we

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: could probably get to the six seed, Like that's the goal.

178
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Get out of the play in, get in there, because

179
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: they're like two and a half back right of the

180
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks. That's probably changed at this point now. Now

181
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: it's just hold on for dear life, get into the

182
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: play in, pray Lebron is back, like you said, in

183
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: ten to twelve games whatever we don't know, and then

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 3: maybe win your way in through the play in to

185
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: then try and like upset one of the best teams

186
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: at the top of the Western Conference in the playoffs heres.

187
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: But to me, it's gone from six seed as like

188
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: that's our goal, goal goal, and maybe even doable to

189
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: now it's like just get in. Yeah.

190
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: I think the Lakers are about five hundred. With Anthony

191
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: Davis on the court. Eighteen and nineteen, they were gonna

192
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: have to go like from the twenty six game mark,

193
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: they were gonna have to go sixteen and ten to

194
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: finish five hundred. That is one hundred percent out the window.

195
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: But they could go like eight and nine. I think

196
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: they could play five hundred basketball. Like you look at

197
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: the teams, the Thunder, the Timberwolves, the Warriors, they're all

198
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: on the same level as the current Lakers team even

199
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: without Lebron. I think it's just incumbent on AD to

200
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: show up every single night and put up thirty and

201
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: fifteen's basically carry the team like he did earlier in

202
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: the season when he was getting a little MVP buzz.

203
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: That was like a fifteen game stretch, the best fifteen

204
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: game stretch he played this season they needed again, So

205
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: we shall see if that comes through. But uh yeah,

206
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: I guess Lebron's just gonna ask every doctor until something says, yeah, man,

207
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: just tied it up to them, come and play. Yeah,

208
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: that's what happened with Ad though, Like he got a

209
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: bunch of opinions on his foot. He missed five weeks.

210
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: There's six weeks left in the season.

211
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean multiple can mean literally two weeks,

212
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: or it could mean we don't see Lebron for the

213
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: rest of the year. Yep, because there's only six or

214
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: seven weeks left in.

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: The regular season. And that's what happened.

216
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: In his first season with LA He ended up missing

217
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: the end of the year. It was a groin injury,

218
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: it was a different injury, but yeah, we didn't see him.

219
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: And that was the first year he missed time with

220
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: a significant injury.

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: His first year.

222
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: Only year with the Lakers where he actually hit like

223
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: a decent amount of games was the one year in

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: the Bubble where he got a ton of time off. Yeah,

225
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: where everybody got time off to rest up and get

226
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: ready for the final push there down in Orlando.

227
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think that's right. Yes, yes, that is right, exactly.

228
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he was playing, you know, throughout the entire season,

229
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: and then the Bubble game some time off gave eighty

230
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 4: some time off. He had the best two month run

231
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: of his career for sure.

232
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point. All right, let's get into some of

233
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: the games from last night. In fact, we'll get to

234
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: all of them because there was only four on. Let's

235
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: start with the Knicks winning their sixth straight. They dropped

236
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: the Celtics from the top spot in the NBA. I

237
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: think Milwaukee has now has them in terms of winning

238
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: percentage there in the East and in the NBA. But

239
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: the Knicks, they're hot. Who wants to get a started?

240
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: Big takeaways from an entertaining game there, And I know

241
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: we'll get to Tatum getting tossed, But what did you think? TK?

242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: I think the Knicks dominated this game.

243
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: They did.

244
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: It's right to say like the Knicks were in control

245
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: for the entirety of the game. They held the Celtics

246
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: to nine for forty two from the three point line,

247
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: which is kind of the story of the game. The

248
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Celtics could not hit from three. That's one of their strengths.

249
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: They can get super duper hot, but when they're missing,

250
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: it gives the Knicks a chance to score pretty efficiently

251
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: on offense. And then the Celtics got to come back

252
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: down and try and figure something out. Turn the ball

253
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: only over eleven times did the Celtics last night. That's fine,

254
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: but it was the shooting that really did it for

255
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks, especially when you consider they were going to

256
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: the free throw line quite a bit. Twenty three for

257
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: thirty four from the line not a great percentage, but

258
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: if you're going thirty four times, you can miss a

259
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: handful of them, especially when you win the three point

260
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: battle as well. But I'm impressed with the Knicks right now.

261
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: They look like they've got a couple of things figured out.

262
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: They've got a starting lineup and they've got a closing lineup,

263
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: and it's almost different. They basically saw them in quickly

264
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: and heart for Barrett and Grimes in the closing lineup,

265
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: and the athleticism, the playmaking and the defense that those

266
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: two guys give them is an advantage for the Knicks.

267
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: The Knicks got a lot better role player performances, I

268
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: thought last night than the Celtics did. The Celtics were

269
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: without Jalen Brown. That elevates Sam Houser to a spot

270
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: in the rotation. And if you look at John Schumann's

271
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: clips from last night, Howser was just getting roasted time

272
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: and time again off the bench. There. So great win again.

273
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: For the Knicks.

274
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: They're up into fifth now looking really good. The Vibes

275
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: are incredible, undefeated since Josh Hart showed up. This was

276
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: a big bond kind of victory last night.

277
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had wins from a couple Tier two teams

278
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: in the Eastern Conference. We played some Eastern Conference basketball

279
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 4: last night. The nixt getting there win and then the

280
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: Heat beating the Sixers. I think the Knicks are a

281
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: better Heat team. They're just grindier, they're younger, they're a

282
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: little bit more athletic, and they've got star power at

283
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: the top. I think they're just deeper. You just saw

284
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: it when Brentson needed to swing it and Randall was

285
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: had to swing it, Quentin Grimes working his ass off

286
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: looking good, and then Emmanuel Quickly I thought was monstrous

287
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: in this game. He was so so good. I know

288
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 4: he has sort of modeled his game after Lou Williams

289
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 4: idolized Lou Williams as a six man, but he's more

290
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: than that. He's a really good defensive player now, and

291
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: Tibbs can play him as a starter minutes. I think

292
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: that sort of masks the lack of growth from r J.

293
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: Barrett since I've basically mentioned every Nick I mentioned.

294
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: R J.

295
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: Barrett, I think you got a decent case for Quickly

296
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: as a six Man of the Year candidate.

297
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: He's bawling.

298
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: The twenty three points just really helped out. Yeah, this

299
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: Knicks team is so nixy. Just watching last night, in

300
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: those two games, those four Eastern Conference teams involved there,

301
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: it felt like Eastern Conference playoff ball, and yeah, I

302
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: say a tier two team with the Knicks. Here, it's

303
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: clear Boston and Milwaukee are in a tier of their own.

304
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: The Sixers, you know, you can put him up there,

305
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: but it feels like there's a lightly back and then

306
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 4: and then it's the Knicks. Really they kind of own

307
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 4: that that tier two to me, and you can throw

308
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: the Heat in there and we'll get to their win.

309
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Knicks are I can't believe it. I

310
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 4: just can't believe.

311
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: They come together the Calves.

312
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Yeah, the Caves, you throw them in there,

313
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: but yeah, that would that that's the tier too. And

314
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: they're they're just they have achieved everything Tims wanted them to.

315
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: They're playing so well.

316
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: There's still a ton to be decided and all the

317
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: playoff jockeying and all that. But it's like, is it

318
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: starting to crystallize maybe a little bit, that we are

319
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: going to get a Calves Knicks first round series? Like

320
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: are the Knicks, like you were just saying, sort of

321
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: proving that they're maybe in that tier. We think the

322
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: Nets might drop off a little bit, some separation be

323
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: teams below them, and the Calves are like sort of

324
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: squarely in that four spot. You know, they're trying to

325
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: chase the third seed there and the sixers and all that.

326
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. It feels like we're gonna get Calves next,

327
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: which I think would be a very entertaining first round series.

328
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: I feel like you'll have people picking Cleveland. I think

329
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: you'll have people picking the Knicks. You get the Donovan

330
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: Mitchell story there, You're gonna have them all that. It

331
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: could be a good one, and I think we're gonna

332
00:14:59,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: get it.

333
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: One team will be disappointed to go home for sure.

334
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: That's great.

335
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hear Knicks fans, you know, because it's it's

336
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 4: like our old Raptors day. Knicks fans are talking about

337
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: this being the best team since I mean basically since

338
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: Mellow since for a long time. Better even that than

339
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: that twenty one team that played the Atlanta Hawks and

340
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: in a five game series where Trey was bowing. It's

341
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: the best Knicks team in a long time. So yeah

342
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: that this it feels that way.

343
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

344
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: Right now they're four or five, and then the winner

345
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: would probably get the Milwaukee Bucks because.

346
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: They moved up to the one seed.

347
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: But I think you can start the the Yannis MVP

348
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: chatter a little bit more now if the if the

349
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: Bucks can maintain that one seed, I think it makes

350
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: a little bit more sense, just because of course vote

351
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 4: for fatigue with with Nikola Jokic, and the fact that

352
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 4: there's so many candidates, because other because other people like

353
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: embiid uh. Even though Luca or Tatum will garner votes

354
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: the old Yanis as a default like people have picked him,

355
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 4: you know, in the ESPN Stroppole people people picked him

356
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: as the or the default guy because he's quote unquote

357
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: the best player in the league. I think the MVP

358
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: train can start up here because they've entered the one

359
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 4: seed now with Boston's lost.

360
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: What's funny about that, though, is they entered the one

361
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: seed without Yuh. It's playing Yeah, just funny timing on

362
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: that one. Tatum's shooting woes, I guess continued here, He's

363
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: on a He's you can't hit a shot right now,

364
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: six of eighteen last night, one of nine on threes

365
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: over his last three games, twenty two to sixty from

366
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: the field, seven to twenty nine from three point range.

367
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: He picked up his first career ejection last night. He

368
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: was obviously frustrated with like three and a half minutes

369
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: to go, He's tossed. It was his second text. It

370
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: was like sort of that variety. He said after the game,

371
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: It's tough. The first one, no call if you luck,

372
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: it was clearly a foul, and those are the ones

373
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: that are tough. You get a tech for something that

374
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: you probably were right about. On the second one, I

375
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: just told him this was probably the best officiated game

376
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: I've been a part of. I tried to give him

377
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: a compliment. It didn't go over so well, and so

378
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: he was asked about that line again. I'm sure the

379
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: reporters like what he said. Again Tatum quote. I said

380
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: it was the best officiated game I've been a part of.

381
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 3: I meant it end quote. So sarcasm there from Jason Tatum.

382
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 3: And there was a thirty four to fourteen edge and

383
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: free throws for the Knicks. I think not just Tatum,

384
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: I think Boston was upset with the whistle they were

385
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 3: or were not getting. I also just think he's tired

386
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: and wants to go home. Yeah to Boston. He had

387
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: the All Star break and then they've been on the

388
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: road and they pulled out that overtime game against the Pacers,

389
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 3: in a high scoring affair. They pull out the game

390
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: where he hits the three against the Sixers and then

391
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 3: this one gets away from them. He just wants to

392
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: go see Deuce is what he said, and go back

393
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: to Boston. So it's like, you know, a bit of

394
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: stretch here where he's been on the road and they

395
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: ran out of gas. But yeah, what do you think

396
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: of the ejection and his comments and the sarcasm.

397
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he had some beefs. I definitely

398
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: thought a foul on the dunk where like he basically

399
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: got his foot face pushed into the rim, had to

400
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: grab on and hang on for dear life. But this

401
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: happens to the Celtics. They are at heart a jump

402
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: shooting team, so they can go through parts of the

403
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: game where they're not taking enough free throws. I think

404
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: you even heard on the Knicks broadcast, Walt Frazer said,

405
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Knicks are getting all the calls tonight, but they've been

406
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: the aggressors, and the Nicks certainly where they try and

407
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: like that's the basis of their offense, is getting in

408
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: the lane and scoring in the paint, whereas the Celtics

409
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: want to do it from outside. But he should have

410
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: gotten some calls. I do think Tatum did. He got

411
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: hit on the arm on the three pointer where he

412
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: got the tech. The ball was away, so that's probably

413
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: why he didn't get the call there. But I I

414
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: can sympathize with him thinking he should have got the call,

415
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: and then, like you're saying, the real reason he got

416
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: kicked out was because he sucked since the All Star Break.

417
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: He can't make a shot right now, so he was frustrated.

418
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: Give him the old heave ho like Josh Hart won.

419
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, get me to the showers. Really, the water's warm,

420
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 3: it's honor before everybody's turning it on. Well, you want

421
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: to be first pressure nice warmth.

422
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: I thought.

423
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden is the It's got the best facilities

424
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: in the game.

425
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, you love it so much?

426
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: Showers. I like watchall.

427
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

428
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 4: I wonder if Tatum had a night out in New

429
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: York because apparently after he hit his game winner against

430
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: Philadephia seventy six ers, he had a night in New

431
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: York that night when had some fun. Sure, but anyway, yeah,

432
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 4: he literally, other than the game winner, he's been struggling

433
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: since the El Star break. It's totally true, and the

434
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: Celtics couldn't hit a shot. They missed Jalen Brown. But

435
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: they were ten and one coming into this game without

436
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown this season, so it's not much of an excuse.

437
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: But as far as the foul calls go, you know,

438
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: Jalen gets a lot of those foul calls. As far

439
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: as the foul discrepancy goes, Jalen Brown, I think is

440
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: overlooked by myself as well as such a key player

441
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: to this team, especially in first quarters, you know, setting

442
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: the tone for that team, and it didn't happen.

443
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: Good Win, good Win from the New York Knicks.

444
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: Let it go to the hold on. What do you

445
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: think about the Jalen Brunson kick to the arm pit? Yeah,

446
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: that was pretty weird to see. That was very weird.

447
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: He calls it instantly for review. They're like, yeah, let's

448
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: review this thing. I guess he was sort of right.

449
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: It ended up being a foul on Marcus Smart on

450
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: the ground. But then Jalen Brunson picks up a tech

451
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: because his leg went flailing and ended up kicking Marcus

452
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Smart like almost right in the pit, kind of in

453
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: the ribs, so that it was a shout out to

454
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: neutral as a win at a loss.

455
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: At the same time, you don't see him like that animated.

456
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Weird.

457
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to ask about the once

458
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: again you throw it down Bill Walton broadcast, which seemed

459
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 3: to be the default setting on my League pass last

460
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: night when I fired up, it was featured Celtics Nicks.

461
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: It was featured and he had some guests on. He

462
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: had Kevin McHale. I saw Tracy Morgan, what, yeah Morgan,

463
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 3: some guy named Mickey who's that? Who is that? He's

464
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: a musician? Yeah, from the rightful. Yes, that's right.

465
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: I got you were watching. I was listening to Mike

466
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: and Clyde. But man, if he had Mickey Hart, I

467
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: know he had Bob We're earlier running down the hole.

468
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: It really is guys, I love it all his buds.

469
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: Did you watch any of the Walton.

470
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I watched the pregame opening where Bill Walton dunked

471
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: on a seven and a half foot net like it

472
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: was barely over his head. It was very low, it

473
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: wasn't even eight foot and yeah, he dunked on it.

474
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 4: And then it's Jason Bennetti, Yeah, his his co host.

475
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: He kept blocking them.

476
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: He tried to. Yeah, the joke was, you know, I'm

477
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: taking it in on Bill Walton. It was a smooth transition.

478
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of those.

479
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: Times those basketball segments can be awkward. But anyway, Bill

480
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: was blocking the crap out of him. Bill with thirty

481
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 4: nine surgeries that he's undergone, as he said, thirty nine

482
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: orthopedic surgeries. I was blocking the crap out of Jason

483
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: BENETI on it eight foot net. I don't know what

484
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 4: that one was. There was two nets. He had two rims,

485
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 4: like within the distance between you and try.

486
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: They're so funny.

487
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: I was really enjoying it. I was like because again

488
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: it like just popped up when I was just picking

489
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: the game.

490
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, right, I'll watch this a bit.

491
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: And then I was dying laughing. I mean it's Bill

492
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: Walton just going off about the most insane things and

493
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: they have a fun rapport. But then I turned it off.

494
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: Actually when they brought Kevin mchaleon, And not because of

495
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: Kevin McHale, he's just as funny as Bill Walton. The

496
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: delay two old men trying to talk through zoom. It's

497
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: not a great experience. There was so much like you

498
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 3: go no get you going, and they're trying to tell us. Uh.

499
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: I was like, I can't watch this. I gotta actually

500
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 3: watch the game here.

501
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: A little bit. The opposite is it was so bad.

502
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: It's just I mean, anybody it's awkward, but two old

503
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: guys especially. So anyway, they did their like little highlights,

504
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: like best moments that you can go check that out

505
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 3: on YouTube if you want. Okay, let's move to the

506
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 3: other powerhouse Eastern Conference game. Like you said, tst Jimmy

507
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: Butler's acrobatic layup helped the Heat get past the seventy

508
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: six ers in a very close game. I guess that

509
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: was the game winner in the end, wasn't it. Yeah,

510
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 3: pretty sure it was, even though it came like with

511
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: a decent amount of time left. Takeaways from the Heat

512
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 3: outlasting Philadelphia.

513
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 4: The Miami Heats such an interesting team. They're so gritty

514
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 4: and you don't want to count them out because of

515
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: this grittiness. On the defensive end, they were on a strength.

516
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 4: They're playing zone against Joe El Embiid and all these

517
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: bodies showing they were playing really hard defensively, and it

518
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 4: was the classic you know, the heart defense or the

519
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: lungs defense, it contracts and extracts, and it was fun

520
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 4: to watch. At the same time, they need games from

521
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: supporting players that aren't gonna do it every night. I

522
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 4: don't think you got a Gabe Vincent game, a good

523
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: Gabe game of the Triple g. He was great hitting

524
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: his first couple of shots fourteen points. Kevin Love comes

525
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 4: in and I love the way Eric Spolster is using

526
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 4: him and they're starting him. But they're not playing a

527
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: ton of minutes. You only play twenty one minutes in

528
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: this game, and was good in his minutes. He saw

529
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 4: the classic outlet pass, he saw a couple threes go down.

530
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: You got Cody Zeller coming out to nowhere. Old Cody even.

531
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: Looking like Brian Cardinal.

532
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: John tweeted, card pinned Joel and Bee. Yeah, that's a

533
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: huge Cody Zeller. Does he look like John Hollinger years older?

534
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cody Zeller's so he mu's wear a lot of hats.

535
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: That's the only a short role Beanie the court.

536
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: They picked up a couple of guys and Kevin Love

537
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: and Cody Zeller that other teams didn't want. When Cody

538
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 4: Zeller hasn't been playing all season long. Literally on the broadcast.

539
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 4: Brendan Haywood, who was on the call, said, I've seen

540
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 4: Cody Zeller at Lifetime Fitness. I mean the Lifetime he

541
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 4: says he lives in Sure, they both live in charlotte've

542
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 4: seen him at Lifetime Fitness. Does that mean he works

543
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: out or he's post NBA career. I guess a little both.

544
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's got a job and he pinned

545
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: Joel Embiid huge. All that to say, they're hoping and

546
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: just will and just just dreaming that these guys that

547
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 4: they bring in are going to contribute a lot to

548
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 4: this team and maybe this is the year that a

549
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: buyout guy really contributes something. Because you got Kevin Love start,

550
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: you got Russell Westbrook start. You don't usually see bio

551
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 4: guys starting, but I just Patrick Beverley two, but Patrick

552
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: Beverley of the Chicago Bulls. I just I just don't

553
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: know if all these guys can't contribute enough. And obviously

554
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 4: Kyle Lowry coming back would be helpful, and they're desperate.

555
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 4: They're throwing Tyler hero in the starring lineup. I'm just

556
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 4: not buying it. I'm just not buying the heat as

557
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: a contender. That's all I got to say. Although this

558
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: was a great gritty win for them, and they did

559
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: a great job on Joel Embiid even though you know,

560
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: beat out a good game, you kind of you limited

561
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: him to what he was doing out there with the

562
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 4: zone defense, and you could see Sposter putting in any

563
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: game plan. But are they going to get enough offense?

564
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: Of all the first round opponents the Sixers could see though,

565
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: this is the one they'd want to see the least

566
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: in Miami Heat, I would think sure. The way they

567
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: played them, they always played them strong, they always played

568
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 3: them well. I don't know if it's the Jimmy Butler

569
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: you know, having played there and all that, but this

570
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: would be the one they'd have the lowest on their

571
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: list as a potential second or third seed whoever they

572
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: would see there in that matchup. I think in the

573
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: first round because they played them well. Any takeaway from this.

574
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: One, You're absolutely right, Skeets. It's all part of Jimmy

575
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: Butler's long term plan to lure Joel Embiid to the

576
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. Gotta beat him every single time to prove

577
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: that you need to come here to join up with me.

578
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: That's why the Heat haven't made any good trades in

579
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: the past couple of seasons.

580
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: Just wait, just wait for it.

581
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: But Jimmy, you could tell, wanted this game. Two bad

582
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: losses for the Heat over the weekend, the one against

583
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks, the one against the Hornets. This game meant

584
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: a lot more to Miami, and Jimmy was everywhere for steals.

585
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was just wreaking havoc defensively. The game

586
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: winning layup, what an incredible shot. That was a Michael

587
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Jordan kind of layup. I don't know how he even

588
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: got that to the rim. As for the Heat or

589
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: the Sixers last possession, interesting stuff. I thought two man game,

590
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Embiid and Harden. Embiid has the post up on Bam.

591
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: Bam is a strong guy, takes the bump a couple

592
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: of times a double. He dishes it to Harden a

593
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: good look. Not a lot of time though, for Harden

594
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: to get the shot up. Obviously, Jimmy is closing out

595
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: really hard because he doesn't really have to worry about

596
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: the guy he's Garden. I thought him being kind of

597
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: should have forced the issue there. Tried to draw foul

598
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: on Bam. He usually pretty good at that, but I

599
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: guess you can't argue with a nice pass the right

600
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: basketball play by Embiid, But I would have liked to

601
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: see him go to the hoop and probably draw foul

602
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: on Bam, go to the line and make a couple

603
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: of free throws, go to overtime.

604
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: And not too soon before that was didn't Bam shut

605
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: his ass down on like a baseline jumper. Yeah, he

606
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: played him really well. Again, he takes He's so physically

607
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: he can actually he's one of the rare guys in

608
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: the league that can actually take a bit of a

609
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: dwell Embiid hit and keep his ground and you know,

610
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: stayed in the defensive play. And then yeah, he blocked

611
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: his shot on the baseline there. I forget how much

612
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: time was left at that one, but yeah, maybe that

613
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 3: was in his head still hence the pass. But Harden

614
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 3: had a good look and just missed it.

615
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 4: This was Eastern Conference ball. The game winner comes with

616
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 4: a minute thirty left.

617
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was nineteen seventeen, I think in

618
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.

619
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was.

620
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joel, I thought this game was actually more poorly

621
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 4: officiated than the other one. There's a lot of flopping

622
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: in this one. Getting calls and they're getting calls. And

623
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 4: that's that's the tweet of the night that we'll get

624
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 4: to about referees, about flopping, et cetera. I mean, I'm

625
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 4: gonna bring that up. But anyway, uh, stay tuned for that.

626
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: Stay tuned for some good, real good ref talk coming up.

627
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 3: Let sell it, don't go anywhere.

628
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's raf talk, so you gotta sell it all.

629
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: Right, just quickly hear the other games. Some disappointing news

630
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 3: for Hornets fans. LaMelo ball fractured his ankle in the

631
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: Hornets one seventeen to one oh six win. He was

632
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: balling before this happened too. He'd hit six three pointers.

633
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: He had been on one hell of a run here,

634
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 3: averaging twenty five, eleven and eight over the last five games,

635
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: all Charlotte wins as they suddenly streamed together the best

636
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: part of their season. But down he goes Tass and

637
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: he's had ankle injuries all season longs is like the

638
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: this is like the fourth time he's had an ankle

639
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: injury in this one very serious here with the frank fractures.

640
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: Very very unique non contact ankle injury that he literally

641
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 4: was just on his own. I mean, he kind of

642
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 4: was dancing a little bit and then goes down very unfortuate.

643
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 4: And it's not really even a stealth tank because they're

644
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: sort of locked into the fourth worst record in the NBA,

645
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 4: which would get them a twelve point five percent chance

646
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 4: at the lottery. They can't even drop down to the

647
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: bottom three because the other teams are just they're too

648
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 4: far behind. Yeah, let's just hope Lamela gets back for

649
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: next season, because it's this season. He's not going to

650
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 4: play again. Yeah, and as you said, a lot of

651
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: ankle injuries, Yeah, yeah, throughout his career.

652
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

653
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Steve Clifford afterwards said that's just a basketball ankle.

654
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: I saw that.

655
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: That was a weird way to put it. But yeah,

656
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like he wasn't doing anything, He's just doing

657
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: a crossover. That ankle turned over a little concerning. I

658
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: would say that it's the other ankle, yeah, compared to

659
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: it was his left ankle. And Melon has just had

660
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: terrible luck this season his left ankle. He stepped on

661
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: a player's foot, not his fault. Also a second injury,

662
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: stepped on a fan's foot, not his fault. Third time

663
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: got his foot stepped on, not his fault. This one.

664
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: He's just dancing out there, so very strange. My only

665
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: other takeaway from this game is AH came up with

666
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the worst what you got out of the season. Okay,

667
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: which big man duo would you rather have? James Wiseman

668
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: and Marvin Bagley or Mark Williams and Nick Richards?

669
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: Wow? Yeah, that's a sick I mean. Mark Williams is

670
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: playing really really well, obviously getting opportunity now that they've

671
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: traded some of their big centers there, mainly Plumbley, so

672
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 3: he's getting a good opportunity. And James Wiseman had a

673
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: great game three and seven, you know, in the loss,

674
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: but he was looking pretty fluid for a big guy,

675
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 3: seeing why he was taken so high. I like both

676
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: of those, you know, secondary guys. You said they're in

677
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: the bag Man and and Nick Richards who I I guess,

678
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: I guess why.

679
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

680
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Wiseman and Bagley.

681
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're basically going Wiseman and Badley more of

682
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: the potential that has not been fulfilled, a little bit older,

683
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: a little bit.

684
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: You're hanging in on Wiseman for sure. Though I like

685
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: Mark Williams. I think he's gonna be like, he's gonna

686
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 3: be a really solid center in this league and see

687
00:30:59,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: why he was.

688
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 4: So you can still hope for Bagley. I mean he's

689
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: been injured this entire season.

690
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: Too. Great game last night, a monster game.

691
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got two twenty point games from Wiseman and

692
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: Badley for the Detroit Pistons in a game that means

693
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: zip zilch zero here. You know, getting on later in

694
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: the season, or or you're going with the younger guys

695
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: in the Mark Williams or the Nick Richards. I kind

696
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 4: of want to cheer on the hornet Skies because you

697
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 4: get a little bit more of the the Eric Collins

698
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: on the call. He yelled Mark Williamhams the other day,

699
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: which was really really fun.

700
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know who to take.

701
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, get the all night get that sickle poll up, alright, awesome, Simon.

702
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: I have three polls. This tray is killing as a

703
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 4: poll day. It was a pun day to.

704
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: Be the pole day. Final game last night, Pello Ben

705
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: Carrol scored twenty nine as the Magic beat the Pelicans

706
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: one on one. Ninety three. Ben Carrol just took over

707
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: laid down. If you saw the highlights from this one

708
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: or watch this game. He hit three clutch jumpers in

709
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: the closing minutes. I loved how they came. Thy game.

710
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: About three forty left, isoed on Ingram up top, just

711
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: sort of rocked into his dribble, back and forth, back

712
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: and forth, got comfortable, splashed it. Thy game. Still one

713
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: forty left, He's got herb Jones on him, sort of

714
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: same dribble pattern. Hits another jumper, and then the next

715
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: Magic possession, Orlando was up to Ben Carroll, got the

716
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: smaller Josh Richardson on him, sort of took him to

717
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: the free throw line area, spun hit the jumper, so

718
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 3: bang bang bang, and they get the victory over the Pelicans.

719
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 3: Who are I mean? This season has completely just fallen apart.

720
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: I know there's no Zion, but Ingram's playing McCollum's playing

721
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: Magic are scrappy. But the losses just keep piling up here.

722
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really, you took us through all the important

723
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: parts of this game, I think, Yeah, I got nothing

724
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 4: to add. I gotta be entirely completely honest here. It

725
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: is disappointing that even with the depth of the Pelicans,

726
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: they can't they can't beat it. It is a scrappy match bunch. Yeah, no,

727
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: there's no doctor.

728
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: Carkel Folds had another great game, if you're keeping track

729
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: of such things. Fourteen points, five boards, five assists, two steals,

730
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: one turnover, thirty minutes, shot six and nine. He's a

731
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 3: plus nineteen, which led his team, So good things are

732
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: happening when he's out there. But just to point this out,

733
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: the Magic have four fewer wins than the Peblicans. Repelicans

734
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: are seven and twenty since New Year's Eve. Yeah, and

735
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: I saw Zilla writing in his newsletter. You know in

736
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 3: this game, a brutal loss, six of twenty seven from deep.

737
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: They lost the free throw battle, they lost the turnover battle,

738
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 3: they lost the offensive rebounding battle.

739
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, their offense is really bad. It's a struggle for

740
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: them to score every single time. They have to work

741
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: hard for every basket. Brandon Ingram eight for nineteen, CJ

742
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: McCollum eight for eighteen, and all of their makes are

743
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: like hand in the face because they have no three

744
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: point shooting. When six to twenty seven last night, turned

745
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: the ball over seventeen times and didn't score their final

746
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: four possessions, Like brandon Ingram is an all star kind

747
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: of player, but they ain't nobody else out there with him.

748
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: CJ a weird season, like he's had some good I think,

749
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been quite good enough to pick up

750
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: the slack in Zion's absence and then everybody else out there.

751
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: It's like a miracle if they actually make a shot.

752
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: So I don't know the magic. I didn't think we're

753
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: great on offense. Like Pollo's takeover there at the end

754
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: was pretty sweet, but he was kind of doing the

755
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: same move every single time. But at least they had

756
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: a reliable guy to get buckets down the stretch, and

757
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: the Pelicans did not. I think they've won five out

758
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: of their last twenty games. They might miss the playing

759
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: It's quite possible, especially if Zion doesn't come back.

760
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: Quick trivia question thirtieth game. Ben Carro has scored at

761
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 3: least twenty points here as a rookie. That moved him

762
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: ahead of who for the second most such games by

763
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 3: a magic rookie.

764
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 4: I saw, okay, go ahead, moved him ahead in second Yeah, okay,

765
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 4: so Shaq did it.

766
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: How many times did Shack do it in his rookie season?

767
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: That was going to be my follow up trivia question.

768
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: You already saw this stet. How many times he played three?

769
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: He had a Grady forty five.

770
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: More sixty Wow, dominant rookie, Yeah, Shack did he moved

771
00:34:59,400 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 3: past though?

772
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: Don't overthink it, Penny.

773
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. Penny had twenty nine games where

774
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 3: he's scored twenty points in his rookie season.

775
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: For him, think for a bank care They've had a really,

776
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: really good season. When it comes down to it. I mean,

777
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 4: we were just talking about.

778
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: It'd be awesome, Like it's one of these things like, Okay,

779
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: take this into the start of next season, right, you know,

780
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: with whatever else you get in the off season, whatever

781
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: the moves you make, continue this moment, because so many

782
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: times it feels like we'll see a team do this

783
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: where they have a bad start, but maybe then get

784
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: it going and then everybody gets excited, Oh this will

785
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: be the year. Look what they did in the final

786
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: couple months, and then they you know, nothing materializes. Though

787
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 3: this has been at least such a sustained stretch that

788
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: it feels a little more believable to me then the

789
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: final four weeks of the regular season, when nobody cares

790
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: and you're playing teams that are sitting stars and stuff

791
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 3: like that, like, oh, but they they finished the season

792
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: ten and five. Watch out for next year. This has

793
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: been a good chunk of time here, and they obviously

794
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: have some talent.

795
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 4: That was different era when Shack played played eighty one games.

796
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 4: They played it, they played all the games back then.

797
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 2: That's impressive anyway.

798
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 4: But also, yeah, did we talked about at the beginning

799
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: of the season, Magic or the Pistons. Who's gonna have

800
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 4: a better season here? It's clearly the Magic have done that.

801
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: And I don't want to say it, but they're not

802
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 4: too far from a play playing spot. I should say

803
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 4: not too far. But anyway, a successful season nonetheless, all.

804
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: Right, let's take our first break. When we come back,

805
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna tell you the eight or nine must watch

806
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: NBA games as we hit the home stretch. Don't go anywhere,

807
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 3: all right here in the Classic Factory. If you're joining

Speaker 3: us live on YouTube, thank you, thank you, thank you.

809
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: Hit that like button, make sure you subscribe. We uh well,

810
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: In fact, I was getting into it John Schuman on

811
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 3: Twitter yesterday. But according to Schumann, after two games are

812
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: played tonight in the Association, we are officially at the

813
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: three quarter mark of the NBA season a quarter left.

814
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 3: That's it. You know, it's basically twenty twenty one games

815
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: for a lot of these teams, So there's still a

816
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 3: lot of games. We got Survivor coming back. You might

817
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 3: be a golf fan, you might be watching the XFL

818
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: spring training, in baseball, you know, all your favorite shows.

819
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of content, is my point. So you

820
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: can't watch all the games. So we thought it'd be

821
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: fun to hit you with the list of eight or

822
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: nine games you gotta circle on your calendar, and for

823
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: reasons why, which we'll go into in detail here. I

824
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 3: thought we could tackle them in way of the games

825
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: coming at us. All right, chronological order, great idea, nice,

826
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: But then I thought that I was like, the first

827
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: one is so dumb on my list that it's not

828
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 3: a great way to start. But we're going chronological order anyway,

829
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: because the first must watch game according to us is

830
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 3: tonight Bulls Raptors, No Dunk's Bowl three point zero. This

831
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: is the rubber match here. No excuse me, I don't

832
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 3: know if it is dud don't quote me on that,

833
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: but it's a big game for us in our world

834
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: where our two teams are going at it. They're both

835
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 3: trying to get into the plan, and we are going

836
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 3: to be watching it on playback tonight. Is another reason

837
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: to start this list with probably the worst game on

838
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: the entire list.

839
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, come watch it with us if you're watching this

840
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: podcast on the Tuesday. But if you're watching this on

841
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: the Wednesday or Thursday, you didn't miss anything in this game.

842
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: I assume, well you never look.

843
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Bulls are hot since getting Beverly, Raptors are hot,

844
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 3: so basically getting Pertle.

845
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 4: So exciting to be as a Raptors fan to be

846
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 4: excited about the play in tournament. Gotta be honest, playing

847
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: tournament's working.

848
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: This is a huge, huge matchup. Make sure to join

849
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: us tonight because not only do we have torontovers in Chicago,

850
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: we also have the Hawks versus the Wizards.

851
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, that's.

852
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: Number eight versus number ten. That's basically a small play

853
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: in tournament in its own.

854
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, you're right, four teams and the Raptors.

855
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: After they ll fingers Cross beat the Bulls tonight, they

856
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: play the Wizards twice later this week. So all of

857
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: these games, you're right, tray, where these teams are trying

858
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: to get into the plan. These are huge, huge games

859
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 3: against each other. All right, Le's get to the real list.

860
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: March fourth, one pm, ABC. Oh, Marquee game, Suns, Mavericks,

861
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: Katie versus Kyrie. Okay, we're getting Katie back, hopefully on

862
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: March first, so that is tomorrow night because February is

863
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 3: basically done. They play Charlotte, they play Chicago, they play Dallas.

864
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: The Suns due, and we then get this game. I'm

865
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: talking about that Dallas Mavericks game. So I'm hoping that,

866
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: like because of like there's no back to back situation

867
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 3: that Katie plays in this. I don't see why he

868
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: really wouldn't if he plays Wednesday in his first game

869
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 3: with the Suns, maybe plays Friday there in Chicago, and

870
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 3: then hopefully plays on Sunday versus the Mavericks. But just

871
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 3: as of today, one game separates the Suns and Mavericks.

872
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: So this is a like a big one. Like obviously

873
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: we have the Katie Kyrie storyline that will you know,

874
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 3: that'll be your pregame show on ABC. I'm sure they'll

875
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 3: heavily focus on that. But these two teams are jockeying

876
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: for positions, so this should be a big one.

877
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: And obviously they met in the playoffs last year. This

878
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: is one of the better rivalries in the league already.

879
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Now you're throwing in two former teammates who are probably

880
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: still friends and could join up on the same team

881
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: again next season. Yeah, this one, this one's a big one.

882
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I think should rest against the Bulls. I

883
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: mean completely unselfishly. I think that he should take that

884
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: game off so he can be fresh for this one.

885
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: What's his sked He plays.

886
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Friday night and then Saturday.

887
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and he's supposed to suit up for the

888
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 4: first time Wednesday night, March first. That's the plan, so

889
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: he should be yeah, raring to go. You probably on

890
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 4: the Saturday, I agree with you. Not not because Saturday.

891
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 3: I thought it was a Sunday game.

892
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: Do I have that Sunday?

893
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 2: It's Sunday, March fit March.

894
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: March fifth is Sunday. March fourth is Saturday. This game

895
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: is March fifth.

896
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 2: Oh my bet? Oh okay, this is there? All right?

897
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: Good thing? Good start? Yeah, good, good point hit there.

898
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 4: Trade because I had plans on the Saturday. This is

899
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 4: going to work out great.

900
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: I didn't have plans to usually give us a d

901
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 3: game on Saturday, but last untill the playoffs.

902
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, but what did we get last Saturday?

903
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: I thought week late game? Yeah, that's true.

904
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 4: Anyway, March fifth, back to back, They're gonna sit one

905
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 4: game and it's probably a night to day back to back.

906
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: So you got to say one of those for Kevin Durant,

907
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 4: right right, Maybe we don't know anything about scheduling.

908
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: Sorry you do.

909
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: Well, I know I'm convinced I have every date wrong

910
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: on this, so let's just keep going. March fifteenth, Fuck

911
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: who knows, seven thirty pm EASTERNT, ESPN, maybe seventy six

912
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 3: ers casts. Big game. This could be a tiebreaker for

913
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: the third seed. Both teams right now have exactly thirty

914
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 3: nine wins. Though Cleveland has four more losses. They've played

915
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 3: like a lot more games than Philadelphia here, so this

916
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: is a rubber match. This is big. This one is

917
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 3: late November. The cast crushed Philly one thirteen eighty five,

918
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 3: there was no hard In mid February, Philly got some

919
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 3: revenge they won by six. So big game in terms

920
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: of like, who's potentially the third seed, who's potentially the

921
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 3: fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. So I'm excited about

922
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: this one. Hopefully on March fifteenth.

923
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: Confirmed.

924
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: Confirmed.

925
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully it's not a schedule loss for the Caves either,

926
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: because they go on the road trip and then they

927
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 4: come back for this one game at the start of

928
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 4: their home stand, which is always tough, as they say.

929
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 4: But I think that last game you mentioned about the

930
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 4: Sixers and the Calves there where the Sixers won by

931
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 4: six Donovan Mitchell was bad to start that game. It

932
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 4: was an ESPN game. The entire Calves team was bad

933
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 4: to start that game, So I think they they remember

934
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 4: stuff like that. The Stars remember stuff like that where

935
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 4: I had a bad game to start the game. He'll

936
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 4: come out and play better, I think to start that one,

937
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 4: especially because it is a tie break and the Sixers

938
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 4: schedule is so hard. In March seventeen of thirty one days,

939
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 4: they got to play, so that makes sense.

940
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: That's why Cleveland has four more losses. Sixers got some

941
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: games to play here. Yeah, all right, Next one, sticking

942
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,919
Speaker 3: with the same six Ers seventy six Ers Nuggets, March

943
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 3: twenty seventh, at nine to thirty pm Eastern, Currently on

944
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: NBA TV. This is Joki versus Embid around two fight

945
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: for the MVP. Two best big men in the league

946
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 3: going head to head for the final time here because

947
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 3: they only played twice because they're in different conferences. Round one,

948
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 3: if you remember, if you're scoring it, it went to Embiid.

949
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and Philly. They picked up the seven point

950
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 3: home win against Denver and be finished with forty seven

951
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: eighteen and five. That was probably his his second third,

952
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 3: at worst fourth best game of the season. Is one

953
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 3: of his best games he's played in a season filled

954
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: with them. Jokich fairly pedestrian in that game, you know,

955
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: still because it's Jokich. It's still twenty four nine and eight,

956
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: but he had a lot of turnovers and they obviously

957
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 3: lost the game. This one is now in Denver there

958
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: on March twenty seven, so I don't think by any

959
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 3: means it decides who wins MVP, but it would help

960
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 3: Embiid's chances if he had another, you know, forty seven

961
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 3: to twenty ish type game in win in Denver, it'd

962
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: definitely give him maybe another little tick there in the

963
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: eyes of some voters, it's something not all this.

964
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: One's for the MVP. Wow, This one to one for

965
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: the MVP, because if Jokic outplays Embiid in this game,

966
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: ain't no way Yokic recovers or Embiid recovers from a

967
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: narrative standpoint, But if Embiid outplays Jokic the way he

968
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: did in their first matchup, you're gonna hear the ball

969
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: start rolling a little bit. That's why it's a bummer

970
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: for Embiid that they lost that game against the Celtics

971
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: when he hit the three quarter court shot because he

972
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: played MVP basketball on that one. If you were able

973
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: to then hit a seventy foot game tying shot on

974
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: that take down the number one seed at the time

975
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: in the Boston Celtics, I think that would have been

976
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: a huge narrative step forward for Embiid because I mean,

977
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: it feels like Jokic has the MVP locked up. You

978
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: look at Tim Bontemp's straw pole, he gets seventy seven

979
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: out of one hundred votes. That is a massive, massive advantage.

980
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: But I don't think it should be so clear cut.

981
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 1: But Embiid basically needs to outplay Yo Kitchen every matchup

982
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: they have from here on out. He needs to outplay

983
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: Jannis and every single matchup they have from here on out,

984
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: and he has to and the seventy six ers have

985
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: to get wins with this really tough schedule they have

986
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: coming down the stretch here. It's all certainly something that

987
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Embiid can do. But you saw the effort last night.

988
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: Not a very hard fought first half, I would say

989
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: from Embiid. And if he's trying to win the MVP

990
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: this season, he has to do it every single night,

991
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: every single half.

992
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

993
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 4: And as as I've said, those seventeen games, I think

994
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 4: thirteen of them are on the road, it's not or

995
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: twelve at least around the road there in March.

996
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 2: It ain't gonna be easy.

997
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 4: And Embiide has continuously said I want to be healthy

998
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 4: come postseasons, so I imagine he's gonna sit some of

999
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 4: these games out. And that's why the Yannis MVP buzz

1000
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: can start to happen here because there are obviously great candidates,

1001
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: and Yo kich is the leader in the clubhouse right now.

1002
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: But when you got so many good candidates, I think

1003
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 4: the de check Mike go to Anisto if he's the

1004
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 4: first seed and the Sixers, yeah right now, or the

1005
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 4: third seed, but could easily drop the fourth, easily drop

1006
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 4: the fourth after a tough march.

1007
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 3: All right, Our next game here that you gotta watch

1008
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: Celtics Bucks March thirtieth, TNT game starts that doubleheader that

1009
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: night seven thirty pm Eastern. This is quite possibly, uh

1010
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: you know who is the Beast of the East. This

1011
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 3: is a real Brock Lesner versus Bobby Lashley, maybe Omas.

1012
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think they're fighting at WrestleMania. But

1013
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 3: this is also the third beating.

1014
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 2: Rock lesseners back. He's always been back. Man, now he's

1015
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: been back, but everybody doesn't go away.

1016
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 3: He's fighting Omas at WrestleMania. Everyone's like, why just two giants.

1017
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they just can't let Brock be on top all

1018
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: the time. He's the best big.

1019
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: So anyway, we got a third meeting here between the

1020
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: Celtics Bucks, also a rubber match. Celtics waxed the Bucks

1021
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day one thirty nine eighteen, but the Bucks

1022
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: took the Valentine's Day rematch in over time. So I

1023
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 3: know what you're wondering, March thirtieth. It's got to be

1024
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 3: a holiday of sorts.

1025
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

1026
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: Because they played on Christmas, ye played on Valentine's Day. Well,

1027
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 3: here are a couple holidays on March thirtieth, Doctor's Day.

1028
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you to our doctors.

1029
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 3: Uh, this very popular day. Grass is always browner on

1030
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 3: the other side of the fence. Day, Hey day, that's

1031
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: a day according to Today. How dumb is that?

1032
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: That's a day here in Georgia in the South, we

1033
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 4: got brown grass.

1034
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: That's weird.

1035
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 3: What else we got? We got National Fitness Recovery Day

1036
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: on March thirtieth. We got National Folding Laundry Day on

1037
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: March thirtieth.

1038
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of National Fitness Recovery Day.

1039
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: Sounds like load management to me.

1040
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, ye, yeah. We have a National Pencil

Speaker 3: That's a big, big game that could decide. And look,

1064
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean, in all sincerity, like we went over this before,

1065
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 3: you really want the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.

1066
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 3: You want especially the second and third seeds. Be it

1067
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 3: whoever it is, either it's the Bucks of the Celtics,

1068
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 3: and then very likely maybe the Sixers going at it

1069
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: in the second round. Let them take one of each

1070
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: other out. So that is a big game. March thirty. Okay,

Speaker 3: we're like, ooh this, We're gonna have a nice like

00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 3: be upset with that. I know some other teams will

1082
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 3: be upset with that, but it could be as what

1083
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 3: I I'm saying, So take your pencil on March thirtieth,

1084
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 3: National Pencil Day, National circle this one thirty first best

1085
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 3: in the West task. What do you think?

1086
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 4: I totally agree if you're going to get out the

1087
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 4: HB two and circle this game, I do. I do

1088
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 4: think that, Yeah, the Suns will will get it together.

1089
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 4: It's it's wild to think that through all their ups

1090
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 4: and downs this season, it just felt like, you know,

1091
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 4: they fell off a cliff. That they're above five hundred

1092
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 4: and they're in the four seed, and the Kings have

1093
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 4: done a good job of shielding them off or holding

1094
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 4: them off for the third seed. But yeah, the Sun's

1095
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 4: team could could come together real quick with Kevin Durant

1096
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 4: just filling a role. He's going to be so good

1097
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 4: on that team.

1098
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 3: I feels like, all right, our next one here. It

1099
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 3: changed a little bit maybe after the Lebron injury news,

1100
00:50:50,880 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 3: but April fifth Lakers Clippers Russell's Revenge ESPN game again.

1101
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully Lebron's back at this point. But man, could it

1102
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 3: be set up that a Westbrook Clippers team could like potentially,

1103
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 3: let's say, like bury the Lakers, like chances of a

1104
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,439
Speaker 3: playing game, or chances of maybe like somehow getting into

1105
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: the sixties or something like that, could Russ get.

1106
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: Some sweet revenge. I love it could be a fun one.

1107
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: I love it, and I think that people should do

1108
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: a photoshop. I don't know who should do this. Yeah,

1109
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: escape from La starring Kurt Russell Westbrook.

1110
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: All right, we've got lots of time to work on it.

1111
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this.

1112
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,479
Speaker 1: One loses a little luster if Lebron is still out

1113
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: multiple weeks from now, It's a long time he could

1114
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: be back. Obviously, this will be a big game for

1115
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers. We shall see that.

1116
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 3: Okay, couldn't you even argue, though, if Lebron wasn't playing

1117
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 3: in this game and the Lakers like desperately needed this win,

1118
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: that Russ will be like, could have kept me, could

1119
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 3: have kept me? You know, no Lebron, no injury. I've

1120
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 3: been doing it up here. I've been dominating the point guard.

1121
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 3: So anyway, Lakers' clips all right, Final one and then

1122
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 3: a bonus one. April seventh, ten pm Eastern. It's on

1123
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: League Pass Warriors Kings. This is my best guess at

1124
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 3: the date that the Sacramento Kings officially lock in a

1125
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 3: playoff spot. And I'm not talking playing because I'm not

1126
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 3: really counting that this will guarantee them. I'm trying to predict.

1127
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 3: Maybe it comes earlier, maybe it doesn't. But I'm gonna

1128
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 3: say against the against the Warriors on April seventh, that

1129
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 3: this officially snaps the King's sixteen year playoff drought. That's big.

1130
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna light that beam. It's gonna be lit even

1131
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 3: brighter that night.

1132
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 4: They will lock it in at some point. Yeah, and

1133
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 4: that almost feels late, I know, but because they're playing

1134
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 4: so freaking well, there's so many teams and everything is that.

1135
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 3: Clear of a lot of teams. I'm talking like six

1136
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 3: seed and above two to lock in.

1137
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: There are four games up on six right now.

1138
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah, Okay, maybe it happens before they have.

1139
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 1: Been hot, but yeah, I mean it feels like it'll

1140
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: be a big game. It'll be a big game at

1141
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: least I would imagine the Warriors, like, yeah, we still

1142
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: don't know what the Warriors are going to look like

1143
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: come playoff time, and they're certainly going to want to

1144
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: get out of the seventh seed to try and face

1145
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: the Kings in the first round, because I think the

1146
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: Kings will be the team that most teams want to

1147
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: play in the first round of the playoffs in the

1148
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: Western Conference, just because they haven't been there since kids

1149
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: started driving.

1150
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 3: So yeah, again, final one here, this is a bonus one.

1151
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 3: Two games actually March fourth and fifth. Oh maybe that's

1152
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 3: where I screwed up that one date both on League

1153
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 3: Pass and it is the Spurs versus the Rockets tanks

1154
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 3: for them, MREs, it's the tank offf of all tank offfs.

1155
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 3: Two games here between the two worst teams in the league. Really,

1156
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 3: Pistons are hanging around like they want to have some

1157
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 3: say here too, But I know this doesn't really change

1158
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 3: anything when it comes to the your lottery odds. But

1159
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 3: who's going to have that worst record? Two big ones

1160
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 3: tasks again they play back to back than fifth, Spurs Rocks.

1161
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't change the odds because the top top

1162
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 4: slash bottom three. However you look at it have the

1163
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 4: exact same odds, and the Hornets who are going to

1164
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 4: be fourth, aren't that far off. But I'd rather not

1165
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 4: have the worst record, right, Yeah, you know, because then

1166
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 4: it just it's so disappointing when you get the second

1167
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 4: pick or the third pick, it feels disappointing.

1168
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: I'd rather have the.

1169
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 4: Right You go in with lower expectations into that tu

1170
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 4: Shti in May where you have the draft lottery and

1171
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 4: your team, your your fan base camp is disappointed even though.

1172
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 3: You're right, even though you'll have the exact same odds.

1173
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 3: If you were the Pistons and had two more wins,

1174
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: three more wins, then let's say the Spurs of the Rockets.

1175
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 3: But then you want to like, oh damn, we did

1176
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: it have the exact same ones.

1177
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: It's true, Yeah, Rockets have had the worst record in

1178
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: the league the past two years and haven't drafted number

1179
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: one yet, right, right.

1180
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: Right, right, So maybe they should be maybe they're gonna

1181
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 3: be playing to win this if.

1182
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 4: You should get out of the number, I fix a

1183
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 4: lot of points on the board either way. Well yeah,

1184
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 4: in this game, even in that King's Warriors game, not

1185
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 4: two great defenses.

1186
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh no, yeah, okay, there you are. You must watch

1187
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 3: NBA games as we hit the home stretch. Here, Did

1188
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 3: I miss any Did I have any dates wrong? You

1189
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: let us know in the comments right now. Yeah, that's

1190
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 3: a botch job. That's what happened. I think that's what happened.

1191
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: Who show, Who's who's to blame?

1192
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad we got there because you kept saying

1193
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 3: the Saturday. I'm like, no, it's not Saturday. But that's

1194
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 3: why you were saying.

1195
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: Jeez.

1196
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 3: Anyway, lots of great basketball still to be playing, and

1197
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 3: we'll be talking about all of those games here on.

1198
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: No dunk's gonna tear our final break when we come

1199
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 3: back picking results and uh an NBA referee inspired tweet

1200
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: of the night. All right, back with your boys here

1201
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 3: in the Classic Factory. Pick the results. Last night Celtics

1202
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 3: Nicks was the game Boston. They were favored by three

1203
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 3: and a half. I talked myself into them. So did

1204
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 3: Trey test? You had it right and you had the knicks.

1205
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 3: I was pissed off with myself. I was going to

1206
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 3: take nicks and I just it's like nah tatums do

1207
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 3: for a big game. He's been struggling. As of lads,

1208
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: that line was a little weird to begin with. What

1209
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 3: do they know?

1210
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 4: Ben Jalen, satn Jalen, the Brown the Bruns.

1211
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, you got the win. You're six and nine, Nice,

1212
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 3: five and ten, Trace, eight and seven in February which

1213
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 3: ends tonight task, what's our game?

1214
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: Well, of course join us for Bulls Raptors on playback,

1215
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 4: but otherwise I picked Quinn Snyder's debut as head coach

1216
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 4: of the Atlanta Hawks, hosting the Washington Wizards in Atlanta.

1217
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 2: Favored by a big number six and a half points.

1218
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 2: But Tray and I no problem.

1219
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 4: The Quinn Snyder regime starts. Now they'll win by seven

1220
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 4: or more. Well, you got the Whiz with six points

1221
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 4: to play with.

1222
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's nice, that's part of it.

1223
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 2: But why are they favored by six and a half?

1224
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 3: You know it's I mean, well the Wizards are not.

1225
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 4: Good, yeah, but they're pretty even teams they're not that

1226
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 4: far off from each other.

1227
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: Hawks have better vibes than the Boys do. Right now.

1228
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: You can't beat the Hawks after they fire a coach.

1229
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: They did it twice somehow in the past couple of

1230
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: weeks here. But yeah, and I watched Bulls Wizards over

1231
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: the weekend, and the Wizards looked beat. They looked like

1232
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: a sad, sad team.

1233
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 3: Sort of all one, two three can coon vibes.

1234
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I mean that's a that's a huge line.

1235
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: And the Hawks are not a reliable team in any way,

1236
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: shape or form.

1237
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 3: They sometimes struggle to put teams away. The Ks too,

1238
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 3: even if they are sort of like for the most

1239
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 3: part dominating a game, the let teams hang around. We

1240
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 3: saw it against the Nets the other night.

1241
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm relying on the coach bump from Quinn Snyder

1242
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 4: in there in the in the coach seat for the

1243
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 4: first time. The super villain as everyone always calls him, Uh.

1244
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,479
Speaker 4: Pablo Torre also calls him or says that he looks

1245
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 4: like he calls Batman the Batman, which is really really good.

1246
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 4: Could they're playing the Wizards? Could he ever be a wizard?

1247
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 4: Could he play a wizard?

1248
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 3: Or does he not have a wizard, Quinn Snyder. Yeah, wizard.

1249
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: Look, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1250
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 4: Okay, because he can pull off a super villain. I mean, yeah,

1251
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 4: I set that up great, but yeah, ok yeah, put

1252
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 4: a little hoodie on him. You can pull it off.

1253
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 3: All right. Let's get to tweeted the night.

1254
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: Tweet O the Night.

1255
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 4: Wow, I feel like this tweet of the night has

1256
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 4: been teased more than any tweet of the night we've

1257
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 4: ever had before.

1258
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: It's from Phil Beckner, who says reasons you wouldn't make

1259
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: a good referee. Let's hear him pretty simple. I got

1260
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: three personally. Number One, I'm not a snitch.

1261
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 3: That's a good one.

1262
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 1: You're doing something wrong, fine by me. Number Two, I'm

1263
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: always rooting.

1264
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 3: For the offense.

1265
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's a foul on the defense every single time.

1266
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: But the biggest reason I think I would be a

1267
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: bad at the referees because I would be influenced by

1268
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: the hand signals travel too much fun to call. And

1269
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: the worst one the charge. Come on, they should not

1270
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: have made the charge an exciting signal because that's what

1271
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: you want to call it. Like, I mean, the block

1272
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: is okay, but a charge is so emphatic so that's

1273
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: it for me. I don't know about y'all. Why would

1274
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: you be bad at refing?

1275
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 4: Well, there'd be a day where a referee calls a

1276
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 4: charge and then bust into the sprinkler because it just

1277
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,919
Speaker 4: seems like a logical step, you think. So, yeah, when

1278
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 4: we've seen some like you just danced right now, you're

1279
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 4: right here right now, It's like it feels.

1280
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 3: Like a dance Joe block step into it.

1281
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 4: I would not be a good referee. I'm too human.

1282
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 4: Humans are referees are robots right, Like they they pretend

1283
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 4: like they see everything with the robotic eyes. I mean,

1284
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 4: I can't see this. This stuff is moving way too fast. Also,

1285
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: like I'm I listen to people, I am gullible. Like

1286
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 4: if Luca comes over, it's like I didn't foul. I'm like, okay, yeah,

1287
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 4: I'll empathize. I'm way too human. These guys, these these

1288
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 4: guys and gals out there, they're not real.

1289
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 2: They're not real people, they're robots.

1290
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: If you're a referee, an NBA referee, I guarantee you

1291
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 3: the NBA would not be the fastest of the format.

1292
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 3: I just thought a task melis at the uh you know,

1293
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 3: looking at the monitor. Yeah, at the review table. Taking

1294
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 3: it is sweet ass time?

1295
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Dare you?

1296
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I could see that take it a while.

1297
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 3: I would be a bad referee too, But I was

1298
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 3: trying to think, like why, and so I asked Nora

1299
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 3: this question, like you know, do you well? First I

1300
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 3: was like, do you think i'd be a good referee?

1301
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 3: He's like no, And I was like, okay, why. She's like,

1302
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 3: you're too chatty. You would be like Nick Kroll's character

1303
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 3: ref Jeff. And I was like what She's like, You've

1304
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 3: never seen ref Jeff. I had it till now?

1305
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: Are we doing introductions?

1306
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 3: All right? Jeff?

1307
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 2: Lets to see Jeff right?

1308
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 3: Oh my guys, let's push it. Let's push it up,

1309
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 3: Push it up, push it up.

01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:46,720

Speaker 3: We go, that's a charge you've.

1312
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: Seen Big Mama's house. I thought that, Nur.

1313
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 5: What are you guys getting up to after the game tonight?

1314

01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,120

01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: The chat was a big shot.

1326
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:34,200

Speaker 3: I'm behind you, and it's.

01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,520

Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is, all right. So one of the
