42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: that maybe look good, ones that look a little rough Lee,

Speaker 1: you got a top five for us? You want to

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,400

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 6: I'm getting in the Halloween spirit sort of, sort of, okay.

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. That's a little later in

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: the show. And we might even throw you a little

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: curveball when it comes to Tonight's pick them curve all right.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: Before we get to all of that, though, quick look

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: back at Tuesday night's action. Only three games on. Let's

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: start with the Lakers Grizzlies. Lakers one to twenty, Grizzlies

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: ninety one. Anthony Davis, probably his best performance of this

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: very very young season, help them get the win in

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: three quarters eighty stuff the shat the stat sheet, pouring

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: in forty points twenty boards to assist, two blocks and

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: zero turnovers a lit boy to lead the Lakers to

58
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: their third straight win, first forty twenty game since by

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: a Laker since Shaq in two thousand and three. Has

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: the torch been already passed? Here was what Lebron was

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: saying in the preseason, The whole idea of like we

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: gotta play three e d are we seeing that come

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: to fruition right away? Here in three or four.

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 7: Games, the regular season torch has absolutely been passed. Lebron

65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 7: wants Anthony Davis to do everything in the regular season.

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 7: This is your team, my friend, go do it. It's

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 7: like in the Olympics where they transfer the torch from

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 7: Greece to the new Olympics site. Yeah, that's the regular

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 7: season torch. But who's going to be hoisting the torch

70
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 7: when it comes to Tokyo. When it comes to the

71
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 7: playoffs Tokyo twenty twenty, does Lebron lighting that thing or

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 7: is it a d light in that thing? I think

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 7: that's the difference. Lebron knows he needs help during the

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 7: regular season, but at the same time, I think it's

75
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 7: sort of up in the air who will be having

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 7: the torch in the postseason because Lebron got it from

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 7: Dwayne Wade when he went to Miami Wade and won

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 7: the championship, and Lebron is sort of in sem scenario.

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 7: I got a couple of championships under my belt. Now

80
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 7: you got to take this and lead us, and this

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 7: is sort of this is his team to some excep

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 7: I think Lebron is fine being the one a. I

83
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 7: used that analogy the whole torch thing.

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: But I don't think Lebrin just needs it.

85
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 7: But when it comes down to every play in the postseason,

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 7: Lebron may just want to do a little bit more

87
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 7: than he's doing right now.

88
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 5: So far, so good for the Lakers.

89
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 6: They had to get off to a good start, and

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 6: apart from Opening Night where they lose to the Clippers,

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 6: they've taken care of business. To be fair, they've only

92
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 6: played Memphis and chart last two nights. They beat Utah

93
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: in a very convincing win on Friday night. But this

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 6: I think is really important for the Lakers is that

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 6: they're establishing themselves early that Davis is the guy. This

96
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 6: is where he does have to stand up. He's got

97
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 6: support around him now. He can't complain about not having

98
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 6: the right teammates around him or anything like that. But

99
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 6: I think most importantly from what I'm seeing from the

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 6: Lakers overall, their defense is very good so far, fourth

101
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 6: in the league, and I think that's important and Dwight

102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 6: how it's been contributing for them off the bench, But

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 6: certainly it starts on the defense. Because Lebron's teams have

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 6: been through the regular season in recent years not a

105
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 6: very good defensive team. I think if they can establish

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 6: themselves on that end of the floor, I think the

107
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 6: offense is gonna come. There's there's plenty of guys who

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 6: can score and shoot, but I think it's important for

109
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 6: the Lakers to show that they're a real contender if

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 6: they can defend. And so far through four games have

111
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 6: been very good on that end.

112
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, looking good for the Anthony Davis Defensive Player at

113
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 8: the Year pick, just because an improvement on that end.

114
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: He's going to get so much credit.

115
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 8: Tass is right though about the torch being a regular

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 8: season thing. Lebron needs Ad to sort of carry the

117
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 8: Lakers throughout the regular season so that Lebron can have

118
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 8: the juice in the playoffs to rise up that podium

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 8: in Tokyo twenty twenty. Hopefully it's not a malfunctioning podium

120
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 8: like it was a.

121
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: Twenty ten Olympics in Vancouver. Of a tragic night for

122
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: Steve Nash. But uh, I do it. Yeah, I know

123
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: it was tough. It was tough.

124
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 8: You know, there was a it was a Lakers disaster

125
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 8: around those that era and Steve Nash maybe that was

126
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 8: the first sign that things weren't going to go well

127
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 8: in LA but encouraging. No doubt, not surprising to see

128
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 8: Anthony Davis dominate a game like this. I think it's

129
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 8: just more surprising that he did it so quickly. A

130
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 8: forty and twenty is still a crazy line, But when

131
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 8: it's Anthony Davis, you're like, oh, yeah, he is supposed

132
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 8: to be at least an MVP candidate, a guy who's

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 8: in that echelon.

134
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is this is not really anything new

135
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: for Lebron when it comes to the regular season being

136
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: sort of the sort of the second guy in terms

137
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: of like the workload or the usage rate, because you know,

138
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: there was that year where Kyrie Irving had a higher

139
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: usage rate than Lebron, so that the young Kyrie was

140
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: doing a little bit more in the regular season and

141
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: then and then him and Wade back in the heat days,

142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: like they almost split it basically even there that one

143
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: year where everything was going through one of those two

144
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: guys and it was like a little tick higher for Wade.

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, over the last few years here

146
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: or some successful years for Lebron, he's had that sort

147
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: of that that tag team partner that he could lean

148
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: on for the regular season and that's it's no shock

149
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: that Ad in his prime would be that guy. Right now.

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, we saw after the season opener against the Los

151
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 7: Angeles Clippers where they got bashed. You know, we saw

152
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 7: lots of good flashes from the Lakers offensively, as Lee

153
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 7: sort of said, we're gonna be They're gonna be fine.

154
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 7: They're gonna find points. But are they gonna play harder?

155
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 7: Are they gonna are they gonna care enough? Is the

156
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 7: Lebron led defense gonna care enough on that end? And

157
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 7: there was a turning point they got bashed by the Clippers.

158
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 7: Then they go to play the Utah Jazz on the

159
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 7: Friday night. Things weren't good at half. I think that

160
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 7: things were not looking good, so they made a couple adjustments.

161
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 7: They insert Alex Caruso to start the second half, and

162
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 7: Anthony Davis plays the five. Uh you know, JaVale McGee

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 7: sits and they start playing hard. All of a sudden,

164
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 7: Alex Caruso that the the balding man who's taken some

165
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 7: some tips from Lebron James on his hair pattern.

166
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure was working.

167
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 7: He was working his butt off, and and since then

168
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 7: things have sort of snowballed and three straight victories for them,

169
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 7: and you know, they they look like a juggernaut again

170
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: in the Western Conference. They need to play if they're

171
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 7: going to win the Cuffs.

172
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Kyle Kuzma will return, possibly this weekend. There

173
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: are some reports that he could be back as early

174
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: as this weekend.

175
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: In Frank Vogel's best days in Indiana, they had a

176
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: very good defense. So you know, he brings that reputation

177
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 6: as being a defensive guy. Of course, it really doesn't

178
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 6: matter how good a defensive guy you are if guys

179
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 6: aren't going to put in on that end. But if

180
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 6: he set this team up to say, listen, let's start defensively.

181
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 6: Because when you've got Dwight out there blocking shots, you've

182
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 6: got Anthony Davis blocking shots, and you've got Javail.

183
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 5: You've got a lot of rim protection there.

184
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 6: So the guys on the perimeter, if they're doing their job,

185
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: and then if they do get beaten, there's a lot

186
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 6: of guys they're challenging shots. That really does make it

187
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 6: hard for teams to score. Again, it's Memphis and Charlotte,

188
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 6: so you know, not two teams that you expect to

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 6: really challenge a team like the Lakers, but these are

190
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 6: the games. You know, the Lakers have to really put

191
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 6: their foot down, and they have done that by winning,

192
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 6: you know, by fifty points those two games. So that's

193
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 6: a bit of a message that they're not overlooking anybody

194
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 6: or taking any opponent lightly.

195
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, they took the care of the Jazz before that,

196
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 7: who are going to be a decent team, And totally

197
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 7: forgot what I was gonna say, Where did it go?

198
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 8: Maybe you were going to talk about Anthony Davis shooting

199
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 8: a million free throws and everybody being okay with it

200
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 8: because he quote unquote earned it. If you're getting fouled

201
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 8: underneath the basket because you got a rebound, that's earning it.

202
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 8: But if you beat the guy off the dribble and

203
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 8: then they value that's not earning it.

204
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: I don't get that.

205
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a little bit later, and tweeted.

206
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 3: It, Oh, free throw talk, Yeah, let's keep it going here.

207
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: The other game, one of the other games last night,

208
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: the Miami he kicked off off the Jimmy Butler era

209
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: with the one to twelve ninety seven victory over the

210
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: Hawks cook Ha Butler had missed the first three games

211
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: for the birth of his daughter, but He scored twelve

212
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: of his twenty one points in the first quarter, though

213
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: a scary moment for the Hawks second quarter, Trey Young

214
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: sprained his right ankle while driving through the lane, stepped

215
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: on a foot. Hawks ruled him out. He didn't return

216
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: in this game, and now we're seeing reports Jam's being

217
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: one of them saying he could be sidelined for about

218
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: two weeks. He's having the MRI today, you know, was

219
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: saying it sounds optimistic that it's not serious. Maybe it's

220
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: like a sort of a Grade one sprain here, but

221
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: this is a that was obviously a tough blow for

222
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: the Hawks in that game versus the Heat, which they

223
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: went on to lose, And this could be a rough

224
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. As we've talked already about when Trey

225
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: Jung is not out there, the Hawks are in trouble

226
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to finding somebody else to create for

227
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: them offensively.

228
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the big problem for them. They just

229
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 6: certainly didn't have the offense. John Collins tried to give

230
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 6: them what he hadn't he start knocking down threes, which

231
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 6: is he's talked about adding that to his repertoire, which

232
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 6: is nice, but it was almost a bit like found money. Really,

233
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 6: it was like, oh, this is great now, but it's

234
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 6: not a sustainable practice for them going forward. And yeah,

235
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 6: so Lloyd Pierce has got a real challenge already now

236
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 6: ahead of him because two weeks in the NBA, that's

237
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: maybe what seven games, eight games. The Hawks can't afford

238
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 6: to drop behind here, So they have to figure out

239
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 6: a way to use that early season boost, in that

240
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 6: early season good form to continue and not be just

241
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 6: so heavily reliant on Trey But it was such a

242
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 6: blow because he's been such a fantastic player this season

243
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 6: and you know, everyone saw it.

244
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 5: It was one of those.

245
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 6: Ones that really turn like full on his ankle there.

246
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 6: So if it's only two weeks, and that's great news

247
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: for the Hawks, but you know, we're gonna have to

248
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 6: just wait and see because it might might be longer,

249
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 6: we don't know. But yeah, the Hawks, you know what,

250
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: the Hawks are hard to watch without Trey Young out there.

251
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 6: He's such an exciting player. And for Jimmy Butler, he

252
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: looked like a guy who just became a dad. To me,

253
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 6: he looked okay, but a little bit a little bit

254
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 6: rusty and not quite as sharp as we've seen him

255
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: in the past, but they got the win, and he'd

256
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 6: be pretty happy with that.

257
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, for the Hawks, it almost seems like Vince Carter

258
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 8: is the best at getting his own shot. And when

259
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 8: you're going to a forty year old man after the

260
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 8: twenty year.

261
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: Old, it's gonna be a tough spot.

262
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 8: Also, third game and four nights for the Hawks, so

263
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 8: once Trey Young went down, you gotta be thinking it's

264
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 8: gonna be a tough win here. And John Hollinger convinced

265
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 8: me that you can actually be tired earlier in the season.

266
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 8: I don't necessarily believe it, but if the Hollander says so,

267
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 8: that guy's pretty smart.

268
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Last week you said back to backs.

269
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the second night of the season. They

270
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: played three and four. They've played a lot, no doubt.

271
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 8: The good thing for the Hawks they got a home

272
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 8: heavy schedule to start. Strangely, they play the Heat again

273
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 8: on Thursday, so maybe a little revenge game here in

274
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 8: Atlanta will get them right. But if you're gonna play

275
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 8: without your best player, I guess it's good to at

276
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 8: least have those games at home.

277
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, they need him desperately. They're not fun to watch.

278
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 7: Number one and they're just not going to execute it

279
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 7: all that well. So he better beat a Trey Young

280
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 7: list team and they did good for them and the Hawks.

281
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see where

282
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: they go here if Trey Young is out two weeks,

283
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: like where they go at the guard position, like Tyrone Wallace.

284
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: He was suddenly thrown into the fire there last night

285
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: as one of their guards because there's no Evan Turner.

286
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: You talked to you, Slip, you were talking about it

287
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: the other day there Lee like Evan Turner. They could

288
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: use him now in this situation especially, they could use

289
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: a ball handler. And he's still out with an injury.

290
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: He has an injury, so that's tough. And then you're asking,

291
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, your young guards, your rookie guards to do stuff.

292
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pressure there. So we're watching the

293
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Hawks to see if they can sustain, you know, life

294
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: without Trey here for a couple of weeks. Hopefully it's

295
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks, and hopefully it's it's nothing

296
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: more serious than that. I'm sure maybe some of you

297
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast already know by now with the

298
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: official word coming out from the Hawks. All right, final

299
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: game last night. It was a very entertaining game. Mavericks

300
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: defeat the Nuggets one O nine one six. Ghost Face Ziller,

301
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: writing about this one over at Espionation this morning, called

302
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: it a quality win for the Mavericks, mainly because it

303
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: was a gritty win. You know, Luca and Porzingis. They

304
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: shot a combined seven for twenty six. They had six

305
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: turnovers to eight assists. But this deep Mavericks squad still

306
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: found a way to pull this one out. I don't

307
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: know if you guys watched this game. It came down

308
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: to the wire. There was another coaches challenge that was

309
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: instrumental in this game.

310
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 7: You can't challenge can't challenge a non call, Michael Malone,

311
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 7: that's the rule.

312
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: He thought.

313
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 7: Nicola Jokic got fouls when there was no whistle for it.

314
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 7: You just can't say, hey, do the thing, make a call.

315
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: You know what.

316
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: I was shocked about, though, I was actually alluding to

317
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: the one a little bit prior to that. Maxi Klaiber,

318
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: he got called for the goaltend on a layup. I

319
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: forget if it was Murray or who for the for

320
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, and they challenge it, you can challenge that

321
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: but they don't go They didn't go to a jump

322
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: ball situation after that, so it got called for a goaltend.

323
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: They looked at it. It was like, nope, that was clean.

324
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: He he blocked that before it hit the glass, and

325
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: it was Maverick's ball. I was a little confused by that,

326
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: and I just couldn't tell if it was because the

327
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: ball went after the Yeah, went to KP. Yeah, So

328
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: is that why?

329
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 3: I mean that is.

330
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: That's fascinating to me that it's still not a jump

331
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: ball situation there.

332
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: It's like, don't you think that's fair?

333
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 8: Though I had play continued like it should have, it

334
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 8: was Mavericks ball.

335
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: I guess, so, but what happens in the situation? So

336
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: is there a situation if that ball is still live?

337
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

338
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, had had grabbed the rebound, would it then be

339
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 8: Nuggets ball?

340
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: I guess that's the question, right probably. Yeah.

341
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a that's a weird one, because I thought

342
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: we were going to see another situation with the Mavericks

343
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: in a late game situation where would have to jump

344
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: it up and you know, I, you know, I got

345
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: I went off on them the other day because they

346
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: couldn't do a jump ball correctly, and I thought they

347
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: were gonting another chance at it, but no, it was

348
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: mass ball and Luca had a big finish there. There

349
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: was a great, great win for the MAVs.

350
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 6: Though, huge win against the team that has one of

351
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 6: the strongest home courts in the Denver Nuggets. And Nuggets

352
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 6: led most of this game too. But if you look

353
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 6: at the Mavericks and you see, like you mentioned earlier,

354
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 6: Pausingis and Doncic didn't have great games, and they got

355
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 6: great contributions from their bench, including your guy Tim Hardaway Junior.

356
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 6: Who oh yeah, who hit a few baskets. That's I mean,

357
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: everyone who came off the bench scored in double figures.

358
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: That's that's very, very impressive for the MAVs that they're

359
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 6: not so heavily reliant on only Doncic or Pauzingis going

360
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 6: off to get my win.

361
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: I did do one of the more enjoyable watches right

362
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: now in the league. Their offense. That ball's fizzing around league.

363
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that thing, sure it does not stick.

364
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're one of my favorite teams to watch offensively

365
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: right now.

366
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

367
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: Well that's Rick Carla. He doesn't run a lot of plays.

368
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: He likes that flow offense. So if you're open, just

369
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 6: shoot it, and that's that works well for a guy

370
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 6: like Tim Hardaway on a night like last night, because

371
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: he was out there getting some baskets for the Nuggets.

372
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I thought that Barton and Harris again were

373
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 6: good for them. Nikola jokicch he.

374
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: What's going on.

375
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: They have to be a.

376
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: Little concerned with him and his conditioning. I think, I

377
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 6: know he kind of plays himself into shape.

378
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: Right how he is thickle, a slow caitch. He just

379
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 8: didn't care very I don't think.

380
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't think this has anything to do with his

381
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: actual body. And I think everybody's getting caught up in

382
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: if he's whether he's like, you know, fat or whatever.

383
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: I think it's no, no, I'm serious. There's this is

384
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: like that time last year. It appears to me where

385
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: he was he was moping. He was he was upset

386
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: about something, maybe not even basketball related.

387
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 8: Or every single year with him, it's an emotional slump.

388
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 8: The same thing happens with Carrie Irving. People have ups

389
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 8: and downs, and this is a down for Yokics right now. Unfortunately,

390
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 8: it's in important games at the very start of the scene,

391
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 8: and I might be reaching.

392
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: I have no idea if this is true, but there

393
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: there was an incident with his brother being arrested for

394
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: allegedly choking some girl. You know, is that a possibility

395
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: with what's going on with his brother, Like that's in

396
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: his head and that's where I don't know. Again, could

397
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: be a complete reach, but he is mentally that guy

398
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: is not into this into the games right now.

399
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 5: You're right.

400
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 6: No, He's turned the ball over a couple of times

401
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 6: just with really sloppy, careless hands. And we know with him,

402
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 6: you throw that ball to him, it's kind of hard

403
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 6: to get it off hi because he's got such big hands.

404
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: But the MAVs kind of attacked.

405
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 6: Him if he put the ball on the floor and

406
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 6: he lost it a couple of times and he never

407
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: hustled back or anything. So but he just looks heavier

408
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 6: too than he did last season. I mean again, we

409
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 6: know he carries a little bit more than a lot

410
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 6: of players. He will never be ripped like a you know,

411
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 6: like some of the other exactly, He's going to be

412
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 6: more a Mark a Marcashle type of player, you know, like,

413
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 6: you know, he can still be a good but he can.

414
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Dominate stand out.

415
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: But yeah, point for sure, it's.

416
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: More than the energy and the attitude and yeah, and

417
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: just like being into the game and like, look, haven't

418
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: even some fun. He's just looks super super depressed out there.

419
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, because when Plumbley comes out for them, he's out

420
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 6: there hustling and working hard, you know, setting screens, trying

421
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 6: to contest shots, grabbing rebounds, doing all those little things.

422
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 6: But but obviously he's not as gifted as Yokch. But

423
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 6: uh yeah, that was a pretty ordinary performance by him.

424
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: And the Nuggets do nearly won anyway, which is good

425
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 6: for them because they are deep.

426
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 5: They are deep.

427
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 6: They've got a lot of other contributors. And Jamal Murray

428
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 6: was getting into it with someone again last night. He

429
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 6: is such a little agitator, isn't he. He needs someone to

430
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 6: sort of get into it with the sort of jewel

431
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: with And but he's fun to watch too.

432
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Yeah, And I do agree with the maps are

433
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 7: fun to watch. They've got a bunch of role players

434
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 7: who are seemingly playing above their heads, are above their reputations,

435
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 7: and guys like Maxi Kliba, who's a beautiful role man

436
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 7: right now, Like if you're trying to guard porzingis and

437
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 7: Luka Dancic at the three point line. Kleeba has got

438
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 7: that pick and roll lane just to go at it.

439
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 7: Delon right, you know, former Raptor, former Grizzly, Jalen Bronson,

440
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 7: guys who are on the defense, known for their defense,

441
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 7: and even Dorian Finney Smith who's just one of the

442
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 7: better names in the league, probably known best for winning

443
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 7: Weggie of the Year on the starters a few years back.

444
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 7: But he can shoot it now. And so they've got

445
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 7: They've got a lot of weapons. They look like a

446
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 7: Rick Carlisle team from a couple of years ago that

447
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 7: they're playing with a bunch of spirit. And the stinky

448
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 7: part is they scored six points for the in the

449
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 7: last half of the fourth quarter and they still won

450
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 7: a game. That's that's not a lot of points. And

451
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 7: the Nuggets, yeah they did. They look like they look yucky.

452
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 7: They're three and one.

453
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they did not deserve, in my opinion, to

454
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: win that game last night. I'm almost happy they lost

455
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: it because they would have been a very odd, you know,

456
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: four to oh perfect squad. Because they haven't they have not.

457
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of their games. They've not blown

458
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: me away. Despite getting a lot of those wins.

459
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just have enough.

460
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 7: They do have enough talent in Jamal Murray, Nicola Jokich,

461
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 7: even if he's MOPI yeah he has mopin though he's

462
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 7: not he's not moving quick out there.

463
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson quickly, I'd like to throw a future prediction

464
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: at you, guys. That guy is going to be an

465
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: NBA champion as like a reserve, just a backup guard.

466
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: For sure, you can lock it in. I'm one hundred

467
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: percent guaranteed. This is not a Jason Max Seal or

468
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: anything like that. But Jalen Brunson is going to be

469
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: like a six seventh dates man on a on an

470
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: obviously a talented team where he wins the title. I

471
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: love his game.

472
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 8: I actually think he's going to be a Dallas Maverick

473
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 8: for his entire career.

474
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: To me, he screams the next JJ Beurrea. So maybe

475
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: he will actually leave and then come back.

476
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 8: But they the Mavericks have always had like a backup

477
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 8: point guard that they just keep bringing back, keep bringing back.

478
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: It was Avery Johnson back in the day.

479
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 8: I think Jalen brun says that next guy, I'm with you,

480
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 8: though he's got the championship pedigree from Villanova Chicago guy,

481
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 8: so you know he's good.

482
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 4: Uh, and he's he's the.

483
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: Son of Rick Brunson.

484
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 4: Did Rick Brunson ever win a championship? I don't think so.

485
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: Clip As he played with his knee.

486
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: He was a bull at one point at one didn't

487
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 6: he wasn't in the bulls for one of them.

488
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why for a champion.

489
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: No, I think he was after you, did you?

490
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 7: Hear Rick Carlisle said the other day, praising Delon Wright,

491
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 7: saying nobody's played defense like this since Jason Kidd was around.

492
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 7: So they got they have him to throw with Jalen

493
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 7: Brunson and Dorian Finney Smith. If they're going sort of small,

494
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 7: those three guys around Luka Doncic and chrisps porzingis for

495
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 7: a defensive lineup, then you throw Seth Curry, Tim Hardaway

496
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 7: out there that They've got a lot of options. The

497
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 7: guys you know, playing above what we know them as.

498
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson even last night had a good game for

499
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: the MAVs. I was trying to think of do the

500
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: Mavericks bench, do they need a name? And what can

501
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: we call them? So I was like I meaningly, I

502
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: was like the wild stallions, but then was like, nothing

503
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: about these guys screams wild stallions to me. So it

504
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: actually led me to look up calm breeds of horses

505
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: to see if I could be inspired by that. Apparently

506
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the American quarter horse is a very calm breed, as

507
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: is the Morgan and the Appaloosa. But there's nothing really

508
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 1: there that's all that exciting for me. So we need

509
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: a name for the MAVs bench. Doesn't need to be horses,

510
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, specific.

511
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 9: The tom Stallions, the calm Stallions, the chill stallions, Stallions,

512
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 9: I love it.

513
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 7: Some with like a saloon door, like they go through

514
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 7: a saloon door to get onto the floor.

515
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: There's something we can we can brainstorm that, all right, Well,

516
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: three teams remain undefeated. The Nuggets arounded there after losing

517
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: last night. I've got seventy six or Spurs and Wolves, Pieters,

518
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: Kings of Pelicans still looking for the first w. But

519
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: we're a week ind of the season gays officially, So

520
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I thought we could, you know, look back a little

521
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: bit and eventually get into our predictions that we had

522
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: made in the preseason. Some that are good, some are bad.

523
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: That were maybe a little worried about. But what's been

524
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the biggest surprise. I mean, first off, with one week

525
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: of basketball having been played.

526
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 6: For me, it's the Minnesota Timbles being unbeaten. I think

527
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Karl Anthony Towns. We've talked a lot about him. He's

528
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 6: probably the early season MVP right now. He's been a

529
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 6: beast on both ends for the Wolves and really just

530
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 6: led them the way a superstar should.

531
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: Carry a team.

532
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 6: There's no question that is his team, and he's now

533
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 6: entering his fifth season and he's just been, you know,

534
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 6: absolutely amazing. If he can keep that up, then it

535
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 6: changes everything for the Wolves. My worry for them though,

536
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 6: is they're just not deep enough and there's eventually isn't

537
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 6: going to catch up with them. We know Andrew Wiggins

538
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 6: had an incredible minute the other night, but that's about

539
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 6: it for him for the season.

540
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 8: So come on, he's been better. Wagans has definitely been better,

541
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 8: I think. I mean, he's not making a lot of shots.

542
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 8: He still can't make a three pointer, but at least

543
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 8: he's not taking twenty footers and he's trying to get.

544
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: To the rams.

545
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 8: Well, he's trying to get free throws it's not working

546
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 8: out yet. He's changing his game though you can clearly

547
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 8: see he's changing his game. I feel like the Wolves

548
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 8: get a lot of external motivation. I kind of feel

549
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 8: like Jimmy Butler trashing them and that's Sticking with the

550
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 8: Wolves for a year has worked out well for the

551
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 8: timber Wolves because they see him rededicated a little bit.

552
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 8: You know, Carl Towns is still trying to sell newspapers.

553
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 8: He says, the beef with Joel Embiid they're playing soon

554
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 8: is I'm not going to beat into it because I

555
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 8: don't want to sell newspapers.

556
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Carl Towns, he's reading newspapers.

557
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

558
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: I think they played tomorrow night, in fact, and I'm

559
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 6: really interested to see that now because the six Is

560
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 6: are a team that we know are going to be

561
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 6: one of the best way tonight it's not sorry, one

562
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 6: of the best teams. And this is what's going to

563
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 6: be a chance col Ncytown's going up against a great

564
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 6: defender in Embiid. Will he be able to Domini like

565
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 6: he has done so far? So I'm very excited for that.

566
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: I'm just I don't think it will last. And the

567
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 6: Wigans is going to be very interesting because if he

568
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: can be the player he was on Sunday, great. I

569
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 6: don't think he's going to be able to maintain that

570
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 6: consistency though, because that was the only threes he hit

571
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 6: all season, you know.

572
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 5: Like he had he had a good little spirit. So

573
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 5: but the.

574
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: Wolves as a team are jacking it up. I mean

575
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: they've changed that from last year. They're averaging something like

576
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: forty two three point attempts per game after taking less

577
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: than twenty nine last season. So that's uh, and a

578
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: big part of that is Towns. I mean, what's he's

579
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: attempting nearly ten per game?

580
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's hitting four or five a game.

581
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, And it shows in the numbers

582
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 7: with Wiggans to his field goal attempts by a place

583
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 7: on the floor ten feet to the three point line,

584
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 7: only seventeen percent of his shots or sort of mid range,

585
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 7: when usually it's like thirty between thirty and four.

586
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: It's come down.

587
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 6: I will say one thing. He was actually benched on

588
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 6: Sunday too. In that game Ryan Ryan sawand has pulled

589
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 6: him out because he made bad decisions. And then he

590
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 6: reinsaid and then he went on to win the game. And

591
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 6: afterwards Wiggins acknowledged that. He said, I was making bad decisions.

592
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 6: So whatever is going on there, that's a very good

593
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 6: relationship between a player and a coach that the coach,

594
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 6: a young coach, can pull the guy and say you're

595
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 6: not making good decisions, so you're being benched for disciplinary reasons.

596
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: And then he responded in a great way. So I'll

597
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 5: give him credit for that.

598
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 6: I just want to make sure now he does that,

599
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 6: not just you know once every five or six gam

600
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 6: the I want to see him go out there and

601
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 6: have that same attitude that he had in the last

602
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 6: quarter on Sunday against the Heat.

603
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

604
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 7: Ryan Sanders, the relationship he has with Andrew Wiggins has

605
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 7: been sort of documented. He said, they've been really good friends,

606
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 7: you know, as he's been an assistant coach, you know,

607
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 7: under his dad, his late dad. You know, Andrew Wiggins

608
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 7: apparently told him when his son was being born. They

609
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 7: have this close relationship. And Ryan Sanders is still a kid.

610
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 7: It sure feels like at thirty three years of age,

611
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 7: but he's getting the most over Andrew Wiggins. Maybe through

612
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 7: three games. It just sure feels like an unbeaten team

613
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 7: that could easily fall off. Yeah, like one of those

614
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 7: coming back to Earth.

615
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: They're having some fun. Did you guys see the clip

616
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: of them in Philadelphia? You said they're playing the seventy

617
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: six ers tonight.

618
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 5: Did you see them?

619
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: I think it was Towns holding the giant speaker. He

620
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: had his iPhone hooked up to it, and they had

621
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the Rocky theme music going and they all the whole

622
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: team ran up the stairs together. It's a very very

623
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: funny clip and they're having a blast.

624
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 7: If you have to, I think just look at sort interrupt.

625
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 7: But looking at Karl Anthony Towns, we all expected him

626
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 7: to be a Tim Duncan type of guy coming out

627
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 7: of college, just to be a guy who steadies the

628
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 7: steadies everything and is awesome offensive. He obviously shoots a

629
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 7: lot more three pointers in Tim Duncant.

630
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: But maybe he's growing up. Maybe he is being that

631
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: leader finally, and maybe he likes Rocky. I don't know.

632
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is way too early to talk MVPs.

633
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: He did win Western Conference Player of the Week. You're right, Lee,

634
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's averaging thirty two to thirteen to five

635
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: and then three steals, two blocks. He's shooting lights out.

636
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: His his twenty nineteen twenty season start here though a

637
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: little similar to Giannis's MVP last year minus the threes

638
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: of course, you know, yeah, wasn't doing what Towns is doing.

639
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: In the first four games of last year eighteen nineteen

640
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: in all wins, by the way, so the Bucks were

641
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: four and zero to start the season, Giannis was averaging

642
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine seventeen seven you know, a block nearly two

643
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: steals per game. This is fairly fairly similar there, and

644
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: a big part of it is with the wins. I mean,

645
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: if the wins are there and you're putting up numbers

646
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: like that, you're going to be in the running. So

647
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: great start for the Wolves. That was my pick as well.

648
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: The biggest surprise. One more thing to add espionations Ricky O'Donnell.

649
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: He pointed out the impact of Robert Covington, who is

650
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: finally healthy after that knee injury last year. He has

651
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: been a wild card for this team. He always has been.

652
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: He just brings it defensively, of course, and he has

653
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the ability to stretch the floor and open it up

654
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: a little more operating room for a guy like Towns

655
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: to work with. They're sixteen and ten. The Wolves are

656
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: in games that Covington has played since acquiring him in

657
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Butler trade, and maybe he's got a little

658
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: revenge game in him tonight when they played the seventy

659
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: six ers. So he's been great. Not really a surprise

660
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: for people that have been following his career. He's a

661
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: bit of a difference maker because he can hit this

662
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: and he's an amazing, amazing sort of all defense type

663
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: of player. All right, Wolves, as a surprise anybody.

664
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 8: Else on the flip side of the Wolves, they're opening eyes.

665
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 8: The Sacramento Kings are closing eyes. They have been terrible

666
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 8: to start the season. They have zero identity and.

667
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: That's the problem.

668
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 8: They are twenty fourth in pace right now after being

669
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 8: fifth last year, and that's a problem because their half

670
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 8: court offense isn't any good their thirtieth in offense. They

671
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 8: need to be running, shooting a lot of threason, trying

672
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 8: to score fast, because that's their best avenue to having

673
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 8: an efficient offense. They've played a pretty tough schedule so far.

674
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 8: They've lost to the Trailblazers Jazz.

675
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: And I lost it.

676
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 8: I had it, Yeah, no, gets exactly right, and they

677
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 8: lost to the sun Sons. Is the only team they

678
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 8: guaranteed should have beat, even though the Sons have been

679
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 8: a surprise for sure early in the season. So there's

680
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 8: still time to turn it around for the Kings. But

681
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 8: if they're going to challenge for a playoff spot, which

682
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 8: is the expectations coming in this year, they got to

683
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 8: turn it around fast. They got to figure out how

684
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 8: to get out and transition. Last year, it was impressive

685
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 8: that they were able to be a fast team throughout

686
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 8: the season. A lot of teams come into the year

687
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 8: saying we're going to run, and they do for a month.

688
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 8: The Kings did it for the entire season. I think

689
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 8: perhaps the other teams in the league now know what

690
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 8: to expect when they're playing the Kings. Are making an

691
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 8: effort to stop them from their transition game, but however

692
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 8: they do it.

693
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: Luke Walton's got to figure out a way to get

694
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: those guys running.

695
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: As you said it on the podcast with John Hollinger

696
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: and hit me right in the heart. You were like, Yeah,

697
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about how the Suns might be the new Kings,

698
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: but what if the Kings are the new Suns? And man,

699
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: that one, yeah, that one cut a little too close

700
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: to home cause it's you know again, it's sort of

701
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: similar to the rough start that the Suns had last year.

702
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: And this is what the Kings are now doing after

703
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: all the expectations and all the excitement of like, oh yeah,

704
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: maybe they could get into the playoffs.

705
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 7: Bad bad start, and it's similar and that maybe they

706
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 7: think they're a little better than they are, right and

707
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 7: they say, hey, let's get some vets in here just

708
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 7: to really steady this ship because we're so good. Let's

709
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 7: let's take it from good sort of to great. And

710
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 7: it's not happening. The Sons continuously try that. Tried it

711
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 7: with Trevor Reza. Oh who's Sacramento King?

712
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: Now? Yeck yet yeah, yeah, who's you know?

713
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 7: They tried it with Ryan and they tried it with

714
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 7: a bunch of guys and now the Kings. I am

715
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 7: totally shocked that that they're this bad, but yeah, it is.

716
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: It is a team that needs to get to quicken

717
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 7: the pace. It's totally true. And in the half court

718
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 7: maybe maybe they they do think that, all right, we

719
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: can just make these things happen in the half court

720
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 7: and rely on guys, but they don't really have a

721
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 7: lot of.

722
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: Guys who can stretch the floor.

723
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 7: They do, but they're not doing it all that well

724
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 7: to this point, and they're not starting. But bug down Bogdanovich,

725
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 7: who I think should be starting there. He just he

726
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 7: just has a wall in front of him at the

727
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 7: small forward spot because they have all these guys that

728
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 7: they signed and and it's a problem. It's a problem

729
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 7: with their their rotation right now. But if they do

730
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 7: speed it up, if Lukey does speed it up, that

731
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 7: can change.

732
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: I hope you got to speed it up. You do.

733
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: Got to get some stops. That's a big part of that. Okay, So, Wolves, Kings, Tass,

734
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: any other surprises. Were you with one of them?

735
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it, I'm with it.

736
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

737
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 7: Sorry, Well, let's get I was buying in. I was

738
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 7: buying into preseason, wasn't an idiot?

739
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. Don't ever do that.

740
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 3: Don't do that.

741
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: All right, Let's look, let's look at some predictions. What's

742
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: what's uh, Lee? Let's start with you. What's your best

743
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: prediction so far that you made in sort of one

744
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: of the season previous shows.

745
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 6: See, when I was going through this last night, the

746
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: Nuggets were leading the Mavericks comfortably, and I was like,

747
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 6: foreign no top o, the wad have the best record

748
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 6: in the NBA, and I was feeling pretty good about it.

749
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 6: And then they and then they blew it because people

750
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: who listened to the previews. I had Malone for Coach

751
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 6: of the Year, Yo Kitch for the m v P. Now, okay,

752
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 6: he's starting off a little bit slower. But I was like,

753
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 6: the thing is, I'm confident in the Nuggets because they're

754
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 6: getting contributions from other guys. I think Millsaps look great,

755
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 6: you know, the veteran being there, Murray Barton, Gary Harris

756
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: has also been looking good. But so they dropped it

757
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 6: last night. But all right, and they and then I know,

758
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 6: but they lost at home too. That's where I'm like,

759
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 6: they just cash, you know, home because of what the

760
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 6: two and zero on the road so far in Portland

761
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 6: and Sacramento. So I was like, okay, yeah, this is

762
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 6: this is what I was expecting to see. So up

763
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 6: until like last night at about what time, about eleven o'clock,

764
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 6: I think I was I was pretty pretty happy with

765
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 6: my nugget Nuggets Peak. So that's the best one I've

766
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 6: had so far.

767
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 5: I think, Okay, you know, okay.

768
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: Interesting, what about you guys?

769
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 8: I picked the Nets as my League Pass team, and

770
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 8: I think that's been right on. So far, they haven't

771
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 8: had a national TV game yet. Kyrie went for fifty.

772
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 8: They've played two overtime games which they've lost, and they.

773
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: Beat the Knicks by four.

774
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 8: Every single game has been closed, Every single game has

775
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 8: been entertaining. Kyrie Irving has been one of the most

776
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 8: watchable guys in the league so far. So I'm feeling

777
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 8: good with the Nets as the League Pass team.

778
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 5: It feels like they've had national games.

779
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, because everyone's been watching and you know, on

780
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 6: Twitter and stuff like that, like it's always been about

781
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 6: what Kyrie has been doing. So yeah, definitely feels like

782
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 6: teams everyone's watching them just to see what's going to happen.

783
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: It's a great call, great prediction, Tess.

784
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 7: Mine is off the floor. I predicted that teams would

785
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 7: start rolling out a red carpet in there in the hallways,

786
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 7: in the in the back rooms, as they as they

787
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 7: enter the arena, you know, they enter that big garage door,

788
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 7: there's a red carpet there and they start the fashion show,

789
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 7: and then the Houston Rockets on Night one roll it out.

790
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 7: They rolled out a red carpet for James Harden and PJ.

791
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 7: Tucker and Russell Westbrook to strut across too, and they

792
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 7: had a DJ. Now, I I can't take all the

793
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 7: credit for it. I think James Harden sort of forecasted

794
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 7: this in the preseason by saying, we got a team

795
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 7: that dresses like nobody's business. Those guys Austin Rivers apparently

796
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 7: dressed as well. I don't know, and and so he

797
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,239
Speaker 7: kind of led me to this prediction. And I think

798
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 7: they're going to do it all the time. Well, there's

799
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 7: so much space in these arenas to roll that red

800
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 7: carpet out and strut.

801
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: It's funny you say they're going to do it all

802
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: the time. Because there was a photo going around the

803
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: other day where Westbrook showed up to the arena in Houston.

804
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: H Trey. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but

805
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: he had on like the leather pants.

806
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what was the T shirt that he.

807
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: Had going on Monday night? It was.

808
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: Sure anyway, So that photo was going around because you know,

809
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: crazy Westbrook. Look, but I noticed tweeted. I was like,

810
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: where's the red carpet that they already ditch it, and

811
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people, uh you know, tweeted back to me,

812
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: replied to me, they said the Rockets are only going

813
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: to do it like for weekend games like Marquee game,

814
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: so like an opening night or or the weekend. Yeah,

815
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen all the time, which I think

816
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: is actually you're right. I think that's smart. Just make

817
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: it a little special, uh special thing on the weekend.

818
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: That's but I guess that's what they're doing, not every game.

819
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: Not every game.

820
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 7: They're going to be a real TNT team. It seems

821
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 7: like you're gonna get up for the big game.

822
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: I guess so, I guess. So my best prediction so far.

823
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: And and Trey, I think you can. You can sort

824
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: of take some credit for this one as well, because

825
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: you were on board fading the Pacers. We told you

826
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: multiple times. Take the under. Take the under. That line

827
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: too high. Started at forty eight point at one point

828
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: during the summer in terms of their total wins. Then

829
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: it went down to forty seven point five. I think

830
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: it's now at forty six point five. So it's going down, down, down,

831
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: But they're off to a rough start. They're owing three

832
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: two losses to the Pistons without Blake Griffin. That's not good.

833
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: And they got crushed by the Calves, so, you know,

834
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: a worry about their offense. You know, they were bad

835
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: when Oladipa went down. They were ranked twenty fourth in

836
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: the league and they lost like five of their top

837
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: seven scores. There's been a massive turnover with this team.

838
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: The reveens hasn't been atrocious, but it's that defense. We

839
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: thought maybe that top five defense still carries them, but

840
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: it's not been that great so far. Against the Pistons

841
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: and Calves, they just lit them up for three. The

842
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: teams are like shooting forty three percent against Pacers from three. Now,

843
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna fall back to earth a little bit, so

844
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. But you got to get those type

845
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: of wins if you're gonna get to you know what

846
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: we were talking about, like forty eight and stuff like that.

847
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. Will they still be a

848
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: playoff team? Very possible, but I don't think they're winning

849
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, forty eight or forty nine games. So I

850
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: think that BET's looking looking pretty good. You know, so

851
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: far here very very early in the season, like it

852
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: in what about what about worst prediction so far?

853
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 5: I'll go first again.

854
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 6: Then I think the day after we had our one

855
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 6: of our podcast shows and I said that the Wizards may.

856
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 3: Want to cat all of our shows preview shows.

857
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, when I said that if Bradley Beal

858
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 6: and the Wizards, you know, Bradley bial was to decline

859
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 6: the option, then maybe they should consider trading him. I

860
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 6: think the next day he signed to two years. He

861
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 6: didn't sign quite the three year one hundred and eleven

862
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 6: that was offered, but yeah, because I just sort of

863
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 6: figured that, like, if he was going to turn that

864
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 6: money down, then the Wizards may as well trade him.

865
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 6: But they came to some sort of middle ground there

866
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 6: and agreed to on the seventy two million. But it's

867
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 6: going to be a long season for the Wizards. So yeah, Bill, get.

868
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: To our friend Roy. His prediction he showed me the

869
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: other night was to have the Wizards in the playoffs.

870
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: I straight up laughed at him for like five minutes. Yeah,

871
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: he had otherwise, you know, pretty solid picks both in

872
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: the East and West. He did his eve playoffs teams

873
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: in each conference. But the Wizards, I mean, that's a

874
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: that's a stretch man.

875
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 7: Maybe it's a it's a telltale sign that you're in Toronto.

876
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 7: Right now, mentioning Ken Roy, We're going deep. Don't usually

877
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 7: get a Roy shutout yesterday? Yeah, I'm totally frail of that.

878
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 7: I will say this about everybody. I will say this

879
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 7: about Roy's prediction, though. Have you seen the footage of

880
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 7: John wall War practicing spritt? Yeah, and expected to miss

881
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 7: He was expected to miss the entire season. I don't know,

882
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 7: it's it's October. My bomb is that it's October thirtieth

883
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 7: and he's been running. How can he miss the entire season?

884
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: And didn't the Wizards get shut down?

885
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 5: Yes?

886
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

887
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: What am I trying to say?

888
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 5: What's the word of the reception? Yeah?

889
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 7: Disabled player exception where they basically want to use his

890
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 7: money or some of his money elsewhere on another player.

891
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 7: I'll say this about Bill, he can't be Tree this year,

892
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 7: but that extension, it seems bigger than it is to me.

893
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 7: I know he dedicated himself to Washington, but it's really

894
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 7: one year plus a player option, and so yeah, he

895
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 7: had it a year for sure that he's kind of

896
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 7: staying in Washington, but it's not like he can't get out.

897
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 7: At some point he's he's telling Washington, he you got

898
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 7: another year, Let's get this thing right, but the big

899
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 7: Panda's probably going to go play in another zoo.

900
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: It's at some.

901
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 7: Point if you don't, if you don't get this right,

902
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 7: it feels right right.

903
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's Lee's worst prediction. What about what about you, Trey?

904
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 8: Well, I'm not out on this prediction yet, but the

905
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 8: Bulls playoff chase is not off to a great story.

906
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 8: Lost to the Raptors. They lost to the Raptors. That's fine,

907
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 8: they're the NBA champions. They also lost to the Charlotte

908
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 8: Hornets and the New York Knicks, and they barely beat

909
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 8: the Memphis Grizzlies. Those are three teams that are gonna

910
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 8: be in the mix for lottery balls, no doubt, come

911
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 8: the end of the year. But those games still count

912
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 8: even if you play him at the beginning.

913
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: Of the year.

914
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 8: They are slow boiling right now, which is a problem.

915
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 8: They're twenty first in pace, they're twenty second in offense

916
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 8: and defense. It feels like when Jim Boylan took over

917
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 8: again and he's like, you gotta crawl before you walk. Unfortunately,

918
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 8: we are back to crawling. Zach Levine told Zach low I.

919
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 4: Know how to run. Jim Jim, I know how to run,

920
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 4: let me run. So I don't know.

921
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 8: I assume they will pick up the pace eventually. Otto

922
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 8: Porter's been in and out of the lineup. He's been

923
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 8: banged up a little Lee. You're laughing at me.

924
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 4: It's true. When you're winning the balls to make.

925
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 8: The playoffs, Atto, Porter's gotta be good for you would.

926
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 5: Have been more importantly he has out Steve I taking all.

927
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 8: These Honestly, Steve is excited because last time.

928
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: Steve is a trace dad for anyone that has as

929
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: we're talking about.

930
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's not as common of a character

931
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 4: as Roy.

932
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: But but I saying, my friend Roy Steve, just look

933
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: at me, anybody.

934
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 4: Steve Steve. Steve Steve is happy.

935
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 7: You know.

936
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 8: He listened to our very for podcast at half speed,

937
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 8: so he's picked things up or listening at full speed down.

938
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: He's like boiling listening to podcast.

939
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, you got a walk before you run when it

940
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 8: comes to podcasting.

941
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: But now he's figured it out. He is excited.

942
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 8: Last night there was two a line I playing on

943
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 8: the Miami Heat.

944
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

945
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 8: As long as Illinois guys are in the league, he's

946
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 8: not too upset.

947
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: About the Balls.

948
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on My worst prediction was going

949
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: all in on these baby Bulls too. I had boiling

950
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: for coach of the Year for crying out loud. I

951
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening.

952
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, it took literally one game to be worried about

953
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 8: this prediction.

954
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 4: They lost to the Hornets. Are like, okay, well it's

955
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 4: still the Balls.

956
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: And they blew that game. We talked about it obviously

957
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: after that night. They completely blew that game versus the Hornets.

958
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: And you went through the rest of the schedule there

959
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: there's been some there's been some flashes of promise though,

960
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: especially Kobe White, he's looked he's looked pretty special early

961
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: on in the season, so that's good. But yeah, going

962
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: in on the baby Bulls maybe a year two early.

963
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 3: Here.

964
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: These are one and three. They should definitely should really

965
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: be three and one, but they're not. They're not because

966
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: they're not.

967
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 7: But they gave us that Bobby Portis revenge game performance

968
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 7: on Monday night, which was the last Bobby Portis's eyes

969
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 7: bugging out his head as he sees his old team.

970
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 7: He was talking to his team every single play, his

971
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 7: old teammates on the Bulls bench and he lit it up.

972
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 7: He lit up MSG with those shots at the end,

973
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 7: and he went and gave Jim Boyle and his former

974
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 7: coach a nice big hug.

975
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: What's your worst prediction task?

976
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 7: My worst prediction was was is that Steve O from

977
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 7: Jackass was going to listen to the show? Apparently not,

978
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 7: It's just Steve Kirby who listens to the show. It's

979
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 7: not Steve O from Jackass. Didn't come true. My worst prediction,

980
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 7: I thought the Portland Trail Blazers would be the most

981
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 7: heartbroken team in that Western Conference playoff run. And they're

982
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 7: only two and two. I just didn't believe in their

983
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 7: supporting cast. I don't believe it in Hassan Whiteside is

984
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 7: the starting center. But those guys are you know, Lillard

985
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 7: and and just the entire coaching staff and the entire

986
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 7: sort of organization. I think they're they're too mentally strong

987
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 7: to miss the postseason. Now now that I watch that

988
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 7: team play, and that's just you know, it's a it's

989
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 7: a lame, bad prediction to go back on, but I

990
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 7: think they'll they'll probably sneak in at the bottom of

991
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 7: the playoff picture, but it's gonna be tough. I do.

992
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 7: I do still not believe in their They're starting three

993
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 7: four five and they desperately need use off nor Kischenback,

994
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 7: who's not scheduled back to come back till February, and

995
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 7: he's a big man, and I definitely worry about him

996
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 7: even coming back. But uh, I think those the Lillard

997
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 7: and McCollum are just dumb to bet against. And I

998
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 7: don't want to rap song about no dunks coming out

999
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 7: at any time, so I'll i'll uhs, I'll walk that back.

1000
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, all dunks.

1001
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 1: Okay. My worst prediction, it actually wasn't even an official

1002
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: preseason prediction, but I've said it a few times on

1003
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: the podcast. I was not high on Kyle Lowry's All

1004
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: Star chances this year because we had been talking a

1005
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: lot about the potential of first time All Stars and

1006
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: who could get in there and what guards you know,

1007
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: Trey Young, maybe Zach Lavine, And I kept saying, I

1008
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: think maybe Kyle Lowry's not gonna be an ulcer. He

1009
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: is shutting me up right now. He is bawling. He's

1010
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: averaging twenty two to seven and five, and that includes

1011
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: a stinker of a game versus the bulls. He shot

1012
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: four of eleven. It was a blowout. Though he got

1013
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: some rest, he still had eleven, eight and seven in

1014
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: the win. But Kyle Lowry, he's even with that new

1015
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: look do or old in a weird way because he's

1016
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: sort of looking like old Kyle Lowry. He has been

1017
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: phenomenal and he just he just took over the game

1018
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: the other night down the stretch. So I may be wrong.

1019
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: He might be going back to this All Star especially

1020
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: if the Raptors have a good record. It's gonna be

1021
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: between him and Sea maybe both. So yeah, I think

1022
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm wrong there.

1023
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 6: I think he's taking the everyone's riding us off. Oh yeah,

1024
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 6: type of mentality that exactly. Yeah, like, hey man, we

1025
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 6: were okay with that Kawhi last season. I'll show you

1026
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 6: what I mean. But yeah, it is funny how he

1027
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 6: looks like sort of second year Kyle Lowry air.

1028
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it makes him look bigger.

1029
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 4: Yah.

1030
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that with that type of haird just like

1031
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: makes him look a little slower. And but you know, again,

1032
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: he's he's dominating right now, great numbers and shooting you know,

1033
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: he's not shooting lights out from the floor. But basically

1034
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: what he did last year, he shooting thirty six percent

1035
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: from three, so strong start from Lowry. I'm probably wrong.

1036
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: He's probably going back to the All Star Game. And

1037
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll have to buy his jersey if

1038
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: he is. That'll be my punishment. I'll buy a Kyle

1039
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: Lowry All Star Game jersey.

1040
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, have a have a regular season Toronto Raptors,

1083
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 9: starter's costume collection, and.

1084
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: Who knows, we're the fat Bastard.

1085
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 3: We got fat Bastard.

1086
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 9: We got three we got we got the future suits,

00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 9: have no idea. I mean, I think they don't know.

1090
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 9: They won't know until five minutes.

1091
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: Maybe they could just mash them all together and go

1092
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: as like a tribute to the maybe maybe okay, anyway.

1093
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 6: Sorry, top five yeah, yeah, So so listen, Halloween's been

1094
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 6: going on for far too long. I know people have

1095
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 6: had decorations up on their house for well over a

1096
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 6: month now. This has somehow gone from like a little

1097
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 6: week long fun event to like a six week extravaganza

1098
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 6: of unnecessariness. So I'm going to get on my bye

1099
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 6: horse a little bit today. I expect a few people

1100
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 6: might just say, hey, you know, you worry about your

1101
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 6: own You worry about your own kids and your own family.

1102
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 6: They don't worry about anyone else's. But you know what,

1103
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 6: here is my top five reasons how to make Halloween

1104
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 6: a little more polite and a little.

1105
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 5: Less tacky and grubby. Because that's what I think. It's come. Okay,

1106
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 5: it's come like that.

1107
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 6: Okay, Number five, more polite, here we go, a little

1108
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 6: more polite.

1109
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 5: Number five.

1110
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 6: Make sure your kids use manners and patience when they

1111
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 6: go to the house demanding candy. Because now, so I

1112
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 6: have a seven year old and a three or old.

1113
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 6: Seven year old, he's a veteran of the.

1114
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 5: Of the Halloween route.

1115
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: Now, the three year olds probably use first real time,

1116
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 6: but I've seen kids barging and pushing and shoving to

1117
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 6: get past to dig their hand into a big pile

1118
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 6: of candy.

1119
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 5: Listen, everyone's got tons of candy. You're going to get some.

1120
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: It's up on the.

1121
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 6: Parents to say to their kids, whoo, just hold on,

1122
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 6: just wait your turn.

1123
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 5: Okay, that's number five.

1124
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 6: Number four, tell your kids one or two pieces max

1125
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 6: is all they need per household. I see some kids

1126
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 6: shoveling their hand, digging in and just like you know,

1127
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 6: hauling as much as they can grab into their pillowcase

1128
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 6: sized bag.

1129
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 5: You don't need that much.

1130
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 6: You don't need that much. Again, every house has got it.

1131
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 6: You're going to get tons one or two, thank you

1132
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 6: in your bag.

1133
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 5: Move on. It's crazy, it's crazy, you see some parents.

1134
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 6: Are just standing on the sidewalk letting their kids run

1135
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 6: right in the house and they just come out and

1136
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 6: they're like dragging it as if it's like, you know, a.

1137
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,919
Speaker 5: Bag with a like jewelry in it or something.

1138
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 3: It's like, no, you doesn't need that.

1139
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 7: Upon the parents of the house to dictate one or two, Well, kids,

1140
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 7: are you going to do what kids do?

1141
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 6: But I think kids have overtaken now where the parents

1142
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 6: are like, oh, let's just let them have it, because

1143
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 6: if we don't, these kids could go crazy.

1144
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again they might be littering.

1145
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 3: It comes back garbage.

1146
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 5: That comes back to the first one. Using manners and patience.

1147
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 6: Okay, number three, if you already have one particular type

1148
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 6: of can. Let's say you have ten kit cats and

1149
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 6: you go up to a house and they just happen

1150
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 6: to have a lot of kit cats, it's okay to

1151
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 6: walk away with nothing.

1152
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 5: Kit cats.

1153
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: You don't always need more kit cats Halloween, man, how.

1154
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 4: Many kit cats do you need?

1155
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 6: Why don't you just say, oh, you got kit cats?

1156
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 6: You know what I'm good for kit cats?

1157
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 5: Thank you? Anyway, what do.

1158
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 4: You want to want?

1159
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: You want a menu on the side of the person's house.

1160
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: Cats called Star Wars left. Okay, should I walk up there?

1161
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 6: Now, that's not that's not a bad idea. Hey, say

1162
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 6: this is what we have.

1163
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 5: What would you like?

1164
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 6: I see, you've already got dozens of kit cats. No,

1165
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 6: no more kit cats for you. Kitkats are great, it's

1166
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 6: not I'm not anti kitcats. Put them in the fridge in.

1167
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 4: The summer's pretty anti kitcat.

1168
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 5: Right now.

00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 6: four kit cats in your bank, that's enough.

1172
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 3: Move on.

1173
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 8: Well, if you've got four kit cats, you've technically got

1174
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 8: sixteen kit cats.

1175
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 4: That's the crazy thing.

1176
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 3: They're like, I'll play like numbets snacksizer.

1177
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 6: I think the little two snacks cats. That's the fun size.

1178
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 8: Haven't you ever heard of accumulating assets? This is a

1179
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 8: Danny angemove. You're getting all.

1180
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 4: These kitty cats.

1181
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 8: Then you get together with your friends, you're like, oh,

Speaker 8: you've got some.

1183
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: Swap you we're switching here.

1184
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 6: That's a that's a good segue into point number two.

1185
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 6: Tell your kid that at some point they will.

1186
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 5: Be sharing their candy.

1187
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 6: With some people, especially some who may not have as

1188
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 6: much as you and don't hoard all your I need

1189
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 6: every I need these twenty five kit cats. No, you

1190
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 6: don't exchange. Try try something else, even if it is

1191
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 6: your favorite. You just don't need to be so greedy.

1192
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm going to be preaching this to my two

1193
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 7: year old.

1194
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 3: He's probably going out for she's going out for her

1195
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: first time. Y. Yeah, going to be preaching this.

1196
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 8: And last one number one, hold on, our kids are

1197
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 8: obsessed with their school tope and the switch witch. So

1198
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 8: you go trick or treating, you go out, you get

1199
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 8: all kinds of candy, but then the switch witch comes

1200
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 8: to your house, takes your candy and replaces it with sticks.

1201
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 4: And nature and they love it.

1202
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 8: So it's a good way to for you to steal

1203
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 8: your children's candy while they're still happy because they get

1204
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:29,479
Speaker 8: like an acorn cap.

1205
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 6: Well, so that's that's incredible to go into seguey number

1206
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 6: one because because way.

1207
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 4: You are perfect well that this is.

1208
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 6: What I do with my with my seven year old,

1209
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 6: we've already we've already agreed to the terms prior to

1210
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 6: prior to trick or treating tomorrow night.

1211
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 5: But we've done this in the years gone by.

1212
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 6: I say, okay, with your candy, you can choose three

1213
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 6: fourth pieces. The rest of it we're going to exchange

1214
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 6: for a book, a lego, a toy again, something like

1215
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 6: that that's going to last longer. And also we're going

1216
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 6: to give some to a homeless person on the street

1217
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 6: or someone who might not have any because I say

1218
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 6: to my kid, you just don't need to gorge on

1219
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 6: all that. And also you're very lucky that you even

1220
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 6: get this. I want you to share the experience with

1221
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 6: other people. So I'm just saying, you know, yeah, I'm preaching. Yeah,

1222
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 6: I'm on my high horse. Yeah I'm holier than now

1223
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:14,959
Speaker 6: right now.

1224
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: I get it.

1225
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 4: I get it.

1226
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 6: I just think a little bit of the romance is

1227
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 6: being taken out of trick or treat? Is it?

1228
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 5: Yes, the dance, because.

1229
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 8: When I was a kid, it's all about sexy casting.

1230
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 6: When we were kids and we would trick or treat,

1231
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 6: you would have to kind of do the little dance

1232
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 6: with the house at the home owner.

1233
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why we used to be when we

1234
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: were kids, afraid of adults. Kids are not afraid of

1235
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: adults anymore. Yeah, that's why, I honestly think that's why

1236
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: I was petrified half the time when I was going

1237
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: up to a house.

1238
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 5: As you should be.

1239
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, because you're getting candy. It's like, this is creepy.

1240
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on here. This person yell

1241
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: at me.

1242
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 6: And I bet you never just dug your hand in

1243
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 6: and just shoveled like an excavator out of there like

1244
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 6: a pot either digit, you know, like you were like,

Speaker 5: You, that's very generous, thank you.

1247
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 6: And if you went to a house that actually had

1248
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 6: homemade muffins or something like that, I mean that was

1249
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:13,799

00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 5: you're not.

1252
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 6: I think I think it's actually against the law to

1253
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 6: do that because people can obviously.

1254
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 5: You know, it's crazy that it's gotten to that. I know,

00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 5: Bring them in. Yeah, but we're also more.

1270
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 6: The thing is as well, we're out trick or treating,

1271
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,000

1277
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 6: That that to me is even worse. You've got to

1278
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 6: at least make some effort. You can't just because you.

1279
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 7: See kids you you're not making the effort. Put a

1288
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,920

Speaker 1: flash like you gotta be careful out there, all right,

1296
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to tweet of the night.

00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: Tweet of the knight Wow.

1298
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: Well. Noted Lakers fan and friend of the podcast, a

1299
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: Mere Blumenfeld tweeted on Tuesday night, Me, when James Harden

1300
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: makes twenty free throws in a game, uugh, dude is

1301
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 1: ruining basketball. Me when Anthony Davis makes twenty free throws

00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: in a game? Mvpv P, emv P. That's what you said, Trey.

1303
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,200

1304
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: getting to the line, not the number.

1305
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 4: It's exactly right.

1306
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 8: For some reason, rebounding and being close to the hoop

1307
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 8: is more impressive than one on one skills.

1308
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: People don't flopping out there.

1309

00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: of NBA games.

1320
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 3: On that's right, Skeets, but we're not going with an

1321
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 3: NBA game.

1322
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 7: We're going with Game seven, Baby, Game seven of the

1323
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 7: World Series tonight, the Houston Astros hosting the Washington Nationals.

1324
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 7: It's the fortieth Game seven in World Series history. The

1325
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 7: Astros trying to make this thing at Dynasty they won

1326
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 7: a couple of years ago. The Nationals looking to secure

1327
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 7: their first World Series championship in franchise history. Sorry, expos,

1328
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 7: you never wanted. Max Scherzer goes for the Nats. Zach

1329
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 7: Granke going for the Strows.

1330
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 3: Both studs old is Zach granky?

1331
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 5: Feels like he's been around forever?

1332
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's real Zach cranky out there. He's cranky about

1333
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 7: kids coming in for Halloween.

1334
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, I was gonna ask.

1335
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: You have not really been following the World Series. I

1336
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: do know that we have Game seven, but is it

1337
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: true that the road team has won every game in

1338
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: this series so far?

1339
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 3: You are absolutely correct.

1340
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 7: It would be the first World Series where every road

1341
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 7: team or where the road team won every one of

1342
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 7: the seven games.

1343
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: If the Nationals win tonight, yeah, wow.

1344
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 7: Yes, exactly, that's crazy, Max Scherzer. He's going for the Nats.

1345
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 7: He was scratched from his Game five start because he's

1346
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 7: got a nerve problem.

1347
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 3: He could barely barely feel his arm.

1348
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 7: So we've got a little bit of a Willis Reed

1349
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 7: vibe that. Okay, yeah, he's he's going to be out there.

1350
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 7: Will he be able to go seven? Who knows? He's

1351
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 7: maxed out, already maxed out at seven innings throughout his

1352
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 7: four postseason starts.

1353
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 3: Maybe it happens again.

1354
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 7: And thank goodness for Juan Soto and Anthony Rendon because

1355
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 7: they had that situation. There a very, very a big

1356
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 7: confrontation between the Nationals coach because Trey Young I think

1357
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 7: his name is, got tossed out of the game for

1358
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 7: running inside the baseline when he wasn't running.

1359
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 3: Trey Turner.

1360
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sorry, Trey Turner got turned around you gotta

1361
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 7: go back home because he he was. He ran inside

1362
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 7: the baby, he ran a straight line, but he interfered

1363
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 7: with the first baseman's glove to some degree.

1364
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 3: It was just a bad toss from the pitcher who

1365
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 3: jumped off the mound.

1366
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 7: Anyway, Trey Turner, Trey Turner turned the corner, went to

1367
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 7: second base.

1368
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 3: They said no, no, no, you hit the first baseman's glove.

1369
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 3: You're out of here.

1370
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 7: Thankfully, the Nats went on to win it because of

1371
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 7: Soto and ren Done. The line is one point five

1372
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 7: for the Astros tonight. But we're not playing who cares

1373
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 7: picket picket.

1374
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 3: I'm going Gnats. I like the story, surezer, Okay.

1375
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: This is an official game, right, we're counting this.

1376
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 4: This is an official game.

1377
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 3: This is this is official put on the books.

Speaker 1: You got the Nats.

1380
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 4: Well, that makes it tough. That does make it tough.

1381
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I shouldn't. I shouldn't pick first because I'm

1382
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 7: behind you by one.

1383
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 4: That's all right, baby.

1384
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 8: They feel like a team of destiny, quite similar to

1385
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 8: the twenty sixteen Cubs who won a Game seven World

1386
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 8: Series on the road in Cleveland.

1387
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 4: But I'm going with the Houston Astros.

1388
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: Oh, this is good.

1389
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 4: Take care of business.

1390
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:11,200
