1
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Okay, this is my impression of someone saying they do

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: something infrequently, or how a weird guy might react if

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: you ask if he's ever put his wiener in a

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Belgian style wheat beer.

00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,439

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 3: I want to get the All Star Game MVP predictions

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: from you guys. You got to make your case. We've

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: got a fun callback when it comes to Twitter the

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: night we got rapid fire fun because this is the drop.

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: But let's get in some game talk and we'll start

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: with him Beard having a huge game to help the

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: seventy six ers out last the Bucks one twenty three

65
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: to one twenty League at started man big takeaway.

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 5: You said he had a huge game. It could have

67
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: been Huger too, if some of his teammates could have

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 5: finished off some of his other passes. He finishes with

69
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 5: forty two points fourteen rebounds of five assists. But you know,

70
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 5: I'd like to get a little bit dirty with the secondary.

71
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 6: Assists and digging in. I am a Sico, I am

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: a Cicco.

73
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 5: And according to NBA's status, Joel Ebe had fourteen potential assists.

74
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 6: Oh last night.

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, so he passed the ball fourteen times.

76
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, see exactly do that.

77
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 6: I'm not sure exactly how it works. I don't care.

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: It just helps me say just how good he was

79
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 6: last night.

80
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: Because let's say your MVP choice was coming down to.

81
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: Fuck interesting, leave it there. I look great him target.

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: I really love this.

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 6: That's like that Singos meme.

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 5: You know, anyway.

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: You want some hockey sense in there too.

86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: But look, let's say you were coming down to your

87
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 5: m VP choice out of Yannis and Joel and the

88
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 5: but I know there's others, but let's say, well, Joel

89
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 5: Embiid would have certainly tilted it in his favor last

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: night because I thought he was just an absolute beast.

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: He did get good contribution, certainly in that second quarter

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: Tyrius Max he had a little burst where he hit

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 5: four field goals and that was the only field goals

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 5: he hit for the game.

95
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 6: I thought Tobias Harris was really good. And I thought

96
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 6: George and Yang's defense on yards, I think they had

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 6: a good plan just to get into his space. No

98
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 6: one stops him, no one slows him down. We know that.

99
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 6: But certainly Yannis had to work for his buckets last night.

100
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 5: But Embiid had the three pointer going last night, he

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: got to the free throw line. Basically, this game was

102
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: there in the balance, and Joel Embiid was the one

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 5: who stepped up and said, I'm going to make sure

104
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: our team wins it tonight. And they worked and they hustled,

105
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: and they do all those like you know.

106
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 6: Those hard working nuggety stats there like that.

107
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: But god, you just swerved from one end of the

108
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: spectrums of the other.

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just but his presence out on the floor

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: as it was again the other night. Now let's forget

111
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: the Celtics game. He was a plus thirteen in a

112
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 5: three point game when Joel mb was on the floor.

113
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: The Sixers were clearly the better team there. Last night,

114
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 5: the Bucks had chances at the end. They rushed a

115
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: couple of threes. I thought in that last sort of

116
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 5: thirty five seconds there didn't connect them. Chris Middleton didn't

117
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 5: have a good shooting performance. They played well, I mean

118
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 5: the Bucks played well. This is a really good close game.

119
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 5: But if you're the Sixers right now, you know you

120
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: are hoping that you're getting after the All Star break

121
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: as well, a rejuvenated, energetic, excited, healthy James Harden, and

122
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: you're gonna be feeling pretty good about yourself. There's some

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 5: really good teams in the East. Miami will get to them.

124
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 5: They won again last night. Chicago's obviously been one of

125
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 5: the better teams. Cleveland is a tough team, and then

126
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 5: Milwaukee in Philadelphia. I mean, any one of those teams

127
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 5: I think, maybe not the Cads in quite that top echelon,

128
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 5: but any one of those other four teams I think

129
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 5: have shown that could be the best team in the

130
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference. And Embat I mean this little tea, he's

131
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 5: on again. Forget the Celtics game. He's just unbelievable right now.

132
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't wait for a six Ers Bucks second

133
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: round series, maybe even conference finals, to be decided by

134
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: who plays better, Tobias Harris or Chris middle That's what's

135
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: gonna happen when they meet in the playoffs. Inevitably, it's

136
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: gonna be like of those guys who's got.

137
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: To go on?

138
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: Milton have just a brutal game. Yeah, a rough shooting

139
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: game and bias. You know, I thought was pretty pretty decent,

140
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: played better than Chris last night. But yeah, what do

141
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: you have to One.

142
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: Big takeaway I think is that the Bucks desperately miss

143
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez in a series like this. Yeah, he would,

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: He would help so much over Bobby Portis to play

145
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: Joe el embiid the matchups here. What I was watching

146
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: was and Bead versus Portis and Yannis versus George Yang,

147
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: and the guy who won the defensive battle of those

148
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: two was George Yan. Yeah. Yeah, it's It's remarkable. It's

149
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: a guy who's, yeah, come through the D League, a

150
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: second round pick, and here we are. I love so

151
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: many things about George Niang. I love the the nang Gang,

152
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: the Banggang. I don't know what his fans are called,

153
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: but he has a faction of fans and where he's

154
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: come from that he is a very solid defensive player.

155
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 2: I think he's a lot taller than he is because

156
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: he plays He's like Tray sitting up in that jersey,

157
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: he looks a lot taller and bigger. I mean just

158
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: because he's so wide. I think he's six y nine

159
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: or so, but he's six y seven and he played

160
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: Yanies really well. On the other side, Brook Lopez such

161
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: a big part of the defense for the Bucks, and

162
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: he would have helped against Joel Embiid. Joel did every

163
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: fourteen to twenty one. Brooke is the you know, people

164
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: call him the most important defender on the Bucks, and

165
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty true. You know, him and the

166
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Yiannis work hand in hands, so they are looking for

167
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: him to come back. And I think the Bucks giving

168
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: up a forty five points second quarter in this game,

169
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: they're kind of just in chill mode a little bit.

170
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: You know, they are the champs. We do see games

171
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: from the Champs in this part of the season that

172
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: it isn't indicative of how fricking great they are. It's

173
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: just an effort thing sometimes, and I think that's what happened.

174
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: Had to come back in this game and they weren't

175
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: able to do it. Yeah.

176
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 4: I love a game like this where the game is awesome,

177
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: you see the highlights the next morning. It says epic

178
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 4: duel between Joel Embiid and Janna Santa Tokumpo. Great to

179
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: watch those two going head to head. I actually like

180
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: Embiid taking the challenge in guarding Giannis. That's to me

181
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 4: how you can tell that this game meant a tiny

182
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: bit more to the Sixers than it did to the Bucks.

183
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: And also I love that this game really doesn't mean

184
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: anything in the grand scheme of things, because when we

185
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: look back, we're gonna be like, no James Harden, So

186
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 4: the Sixers are gonna look completely different. The Bucks, we assume,

187
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: will look different too. Whenever Brook Lopez comes back, Pat

188
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: Connaton will be healthy come playoff time. So just sit

189
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: back and enjoy it. But you're right, Skeets. The Chris

190
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: Middleton Ferris Wheel, it's bording right now. Yeah, it's very low.

191
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: I think he's six for his last thirty from three.

192
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 4: He had three three point attempts in the last couple

193
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: of minutes in this game. If he hits one, we're

194
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: talking about maybe a Bucks win here. But he was

195
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: pretty far off on both of them. So he's got

196
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: a hit shots for the Bucks to be good. But

197
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 4: it's like that's just how the Bucks do it. They

198
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: won a title with Chris Middleton hitting shots when he

199
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: absolutely needed to. And on the flip side, I think

200
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 4: that George Niang and Furkan cork Mas are like sneakily

201
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: huge players for the Sixers team. They're gonna have to

202
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: get outside shooting from somewhere. Those two guys combined to

203
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 4: go eight for fourteen from three yesterday. So if they're

204
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: shooting the ball that well, they can stay on the

205
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: court and give any sort of defensive resistance that they

206
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: can provide.

207
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially now the Curry is obviously gone in Brooklyn. Well,

208
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 3: let's keep it moving here. Let's get to this one

209
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: because there's a bit of controversy surrounding the Heats win

210
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: last night in double overtime against the Hornets. One eleven,

211
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: one to seven was the final score. Let's go right

212
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: to this missed call because I want to hear your

213
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: opinion on it. Guys. It was crazy. So the Hornet's

214
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: coaching staff and their fans upset that the officials never

215
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: stopped the game to review a main three pointer by

216
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: Lowry in the first overtime period. So we've got a

217
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: screen grab here of it Lowry's foot. I mean, it's

218
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: clearly on the line, and because the three pointer came

219
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: in overtime, officials on the court, they would have had

220
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: to ask for a review rather in the league office

221
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: in you know, it's the caucus reviewing it to change

222
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: the score. This was very confusing. I was watching it.

223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if you were watching the Hornets broadcast, Collins

224
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: and Courrier as saying, well, that's not really the score.

225
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 3: They've called it through, they'll look at it, you know it,

226
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: They'll take this, yeah, when we have a stoppage and play.

227
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: And then eventually we got to a stoppage and play

228
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: because it took a while the game kept going. I actually,

229
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 3: in watching it lively, I was like, whoa, what would

230
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: happen here? For whatever reason? It is so rare. But

231
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: if we just didn't have a stoppage from here until

232
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: the end of overtime the heater up one, would it

233
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: be possible that they would then go, now it's our

234
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: first stoppage, let's go look at it. Yeah, take it away.

235
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: But in the end, it's this weird rule that I

236
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: wasn't really even sure of tasks where it's like it

237
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 3: wasn't triggered, like it wasn't in there was like a

238
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: couple seconds after he hit it, there was an inbounding

239
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: play from the Hornets and it was like not reviewed then,

240
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: or the play was stopped to take a look at it,

241
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: and they didn't go back because they can't. They're saying

242
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: the referees just really strange and stupid.

243
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: Really, why not get it right when it's so clearly

244
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: an error.

245
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we have stoppages for things that are

246
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 5: like they can take ten minutes for a stop.

247
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: He may have fouled them while he's on the fast break.

248
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 6: And the ball will go out of bounds. We've got

249
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 6: to get that right.

250
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, this in a game like this so tight in overtime,

251
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 5: and it's because it's in overtime they can't get it

252
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: from se Corky. It just doesn't make sense, and especially

253
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: when you have the opportunity when there was that breaking

254
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 5: plate and I think there's about fifty seconds to go

255
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: I think it was after Larry hit another three actually,

256
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 5: then to say, okay, we've got to get this right

257
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: because it could change so much of how the Hornets

258
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: then play those last couple of possessions and for them

259
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: to end up on the wrong side of this score

260
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: as well. Is just rub salt into the wound. And

261
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 5: the referee, by the way, right there on the spot too.

262
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's right there, right there.

263
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

264
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: I mean so, I just don't know why they wouldn't

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: have done that. It just seems like a complete screw

266
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 5: up to not even be able to go and check it.

267
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: I think it's a screw up in the way they

268
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: wrote the rule. I think they just they just messed

269
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: up somehow that the rule is dependent on when it

270
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: is during the game, that it's only in the fourth

271
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: four quarters that scaccas can check it overtime nash cool

272
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: will figure it out.

273
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 5: Over time like the rules then just yeah and extend

274
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: into overton.

275
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 6: I just got, well, you know Overton.

276
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, and this rule was just written a couple

277
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: of years ago, right, because it used to be that

278
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: the players on I'm sorry, the referees on the floor

279
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: would go over to the scorers table and figure out

280
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: after a stoppage, but now it's gone to cacucas and

281
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: so strange that they made it just dependent on when

282
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: it is during the game. It's I've said it before,

283
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: we here as basketball nerds sometimes don't know the rules,

284
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: and this is another Yeah, I did not know this.

285
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: The broadcasters didn't know it. I mean, it makes zero sense.

286
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: And that's why I think it's just a flub. And

287
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: how they wrote it, like they just left out the

288
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: o T part or how they how they excluded the

289
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: OT part. It's it's a mistake and it's got to

290
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: be changed. What purpose does it serve for the referees

291
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: to change it on the floor only in overtime doesn't

292
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: make sense. It has to be up in seacacas.

293
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: Could we get a replayed game here? It's like the

294
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: most exciting thing. We're gonna get a team together, We're

295
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: gonna play six minutes.

296
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: So you're saying, are the Hornets gonna protest?

297
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: I mean the Hornets have a pretty clear and obvious

298
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: protest saying, hey, hey look at that foot. You see

299
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: that foot? We all saw that.

300
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: The double overt a little bit, Yeah.

301
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: Would have been a game winner. We went to the line.

302
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: It would have sealed it.

303
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Really weird. I mean, so they're they're asking the

304
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 3: crew chief after the game because they can do the

305
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 3: whole thing. Where like the pool reporter I think it

306
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: was Rod boone of the Charlotte Observer, So he asked

307
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: Sean wright, who is the chief crewed I'll just get

308
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: this out there for the record. He said, by rule

309
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: this is the officials the basket ball lowry must be

310
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: reviewed at the next clock stoppage, which was at the

311
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: two minute marks. So, like I said, a few seconds later,

312
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: once the ball was inbounded by Charlotte, by rule, the

313
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: window to review the shot was now closed. Okay, and

314
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: then you know the follow up question is, but his

315
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: foot is clearly on the line. I mean, it's not close.

316
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: Why was more caution not exercise and a review called

317
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: by the crew to ensure the ruling was correct?

318
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: Right?

319
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: Quote, the crew has to have doubt in order to

320
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: stop to play. Unfortunately, we did not have doubt at

321
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: this time, which is the reason why we didn't stop

322
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: the play.

323
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: That's why they weren't. Obviously they can protest it, but

324
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 5: the NBA was like, that's the rule. Sorry, I know

325
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: you don't lock it, but that's the rule. That's why

326
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: you're not getting the protest. We might change the rule,

327
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: but you're just gonna have Yeah.

328
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: I think it was Shuman that tweeted there's there probably

329
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: shouldn't be a statue of limitations on when an incorrect

330
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: score can be in a game and that's that's spot off.

331
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: Yah.

332
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, really really weird.

333
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: It's the whole game that shouldn't stop.

334
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you should get the score right at all times.

335
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so should There could be an instance where we

336
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: go to four overtimes and the rule stops in the

337
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: third overtime. Who knows? With these rules, it makes no sense.

338
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,359
Speaker 2: And I understand why the ref may have missed it

339
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: because it was Lowry's inside foot. I mean, if you're

340
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: if the referees on the sideline like he was his

341
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: caboose and his left foot were in the way of

342
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: his right foot standing on the line.

343
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't see what but it should be coming from

344
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: Sacca exactly.

345
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: The technology.

346
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: We have the technology in tennis to like let's go

347
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: right in and see where that ball, whether or not

348
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: hit the line, Like how can we not have something

349
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: similar with the three point line at the very least

350
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: whether a foot is on it. Yeah, I don't know

351
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: that is then triggered. At least have a look at

352
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: it no matter what period we're in.

353
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: But my only question with the reft though, like you

354
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: have to look at his feet before you put the

355
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: three signal up.

356
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 6: He was looking down there and he's.

357
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: This is just a bad call. Yeah, but no excuse

358
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: for it. This is a terrible, terrible call. And there

359
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: should have been doubt in the arena. There was doubt

360
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: on the broadcast, like, yeah, I'm sure you can hear

361
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: Eric Collins screaming yeah.

362
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean it looked like they actually put

363
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 5: it on the giant screen that too. So I mean,

364
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: just because of the way that the coaching staff and

365
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 5: the hornets they looking like, I was saying, check that

366
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: review it, and the reff seemed to be just like no.

367
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Well yeah again they're saying at a certain point, we

368
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: just can't we're not allowed to go review.

369
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: It because it's right when Charlotte inbound foot ball, right,

370
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: so like one second later, right away, they should have

371
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: just like taken a foul.

372
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: Well that's why Curry and Collins on the call a like, okay,

373
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: well that's the score on your screen. But don't worry,

374
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: they say at one point, the guys in the truck, Yes,

375
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: so their production team have taken a look at it. Yeah,

376
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: he's clearly on the line. So when we have a

377
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: break and play, yeah, they'll go look at it. They'll

378
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 3: take away a point and we'll be I guess tied

379
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: in that situation. So it was really weird. It's just

380
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: a weird strange like it's not a loophole or something

381
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: with the rule wick.

382
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, they blew it.

383
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. As for the game itself, which was really entertaining,

384
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: Lowry was a beast in the you know, in the

385
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: overtime period they scored twelve of his twenty five. There

386
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: was like there was the Kyle Lowry over everything moment

387
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: where he just took over the game. Butler had nothing

388
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 3: going in terms of a shot, though he did end

389
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: up hitting a huge jumper and then he hit a

390
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: three to sort of ice the game in the second overtime.

391
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: But it was Lowry, you know, Duncan Robinson hitting threes

392
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: and you guys already said it Montres Harald had a

393
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: chance to even win this thing, and uh well split it.

394
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: Hit the first one, splash, Yeah, I was like, whoa wow.

395
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: But when he went to the line, I'm like, he's

396
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: not hitting both these No.

397
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't have the smoothest motion at all. No,

398
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: moon balled it a little bit the second one.

399
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but what do you think anything else? We

400
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 3: got the heat now tied with the Balls as we

401
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: head into the old star break eight twenty.

402
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 5: One, and look it does you know, just to go

403
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 5: in the call one more time, even if it does

404
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: get overturned. Maybe the Horners don't win, of course, but

405
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 5: they are desperate right now for any sort of luck

406
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 5: to go their way.

407
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you know they're all in six

408
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: now in overtime.

409
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: Yes, they're not good at closing out there and fourteen

410
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 5: twenty nine thirty one, so they just can't quite separate

411
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: themselves into one of the groups right now where they

412
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 5: can get into that playoff safety. So everything is huge

413
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 5: for them, but I think it is a little bit.

414
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't have the stats, haven't done super

415
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: deep into their clutch time execution, but it just feels

416
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 5: like they don't have a great you know, closing out

417
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: like Lamello and Bridges and those guys. Certainly doesn't feel

418
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 5: like you're watching Chris Paul or de Rozen out there.

419
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: They need someone who can sort of help them get

420
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 5: a couple of easier or at least higher percentage looks

421
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: when the game is tight.

422
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: You know, the Hornets were not helped out by LaMelo

423
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: ball fouling out of the game, you know, somewhat late.

424
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 3: And I thought Bridges was pretty clutch last night. He

425
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: didn't want to go on All Star break, extending this game,

426
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: extended this game and making a close hitting big shot

427
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 3: after big shot. But anything from this Heat Hornets one.

428
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: Besides the controversy.

429
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: There, I love seeing feisty Lowry. You know, Lowry was

430
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: just this basketball game. We're getting second half Lowry here,

431
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: He's coming. He's coming because you know, he's been in

432
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: and out of the lineup and he knows how to

433
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 2: preserve the body a little bit. You know, he's he's

434
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: a champ, so he's waiting a little bit for this

435
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: these last thirty games. And it's impressive what the Heat

436
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: have become with Lowery out of lineup and at of

437
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: Coyota lineup and Butler out of lineup. They've had so.

438
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: Many heroes the lineup right now for them, even which

439
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: is really weird. But this is a scary squad if

440
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 3: everybody is on this team, and my god, they must

441
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: be the most annoying team to play Lowry and Tucker,

442
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: you know, taking charges and obviously embellishing them like this

443
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 3: happened a couple times down the stretch and then you

444
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: just got like feisty defenders and Jimmy and bam. It's

445
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 3: just like be a nightmare. I would not want to

446
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: play them in a playoffs series and be like, God, no,

447
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: not this squad.

448
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're gonna be grinders big time in the playoffs.

449
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: This is a team that was built to be great

450
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: in the playoffs because they're gonna be great on defense.

451
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 4: The offense, to I'll say, is a concern. Eighty seven

452
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 4: points in regulation against the Hornets, Like the Hornets give

453
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: up eighty seven points and a half. Yeah, but a

454
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 4: lot of it was Jimmy Butler missing. But a lot

455
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: of the Heat's offense is like Jimmy, go do something.

456
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 4: And that can be a problem because his greatest strength

457
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: is his strength. You put a bigger guy on him,

458
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 4: he can't knock that guy necessarily off the path and

459
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: get an open jumper. If it comes down to just

460
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: Jimmy shooting jumpers, that's also not his strength. So I

461
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 4: don't know, there's gonna be a lot of tense moments.

462
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: I do believe for the Heat they'll be playing a

463
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 4: lot of games under one hundred playoff time, and those

464
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 4: are games that are really a toss up when it

465
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: comes down to it.

466
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you need those lowry moments where he hits,

467
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: you know, three shots in a row, two threes, gets

468
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: inside finishes like he had in this one, especially in overtime.

469
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep going here. Luca scored forty nine.

470
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's the third game we're getting too,

471
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: as the MAVs beat the Pelicans one twenty five to

472
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: one eighteen Trey.

473
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: Uh, yes, hi, mister Doncic. We have an opening here

474
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: at the NBP table, so we can seat you now.

475
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: Forty nine to fifteen and eight for Luca. This is

476
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 4: one of the best heaters of his career. Right now.

477
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: I would recommend personally going back and watching the third quarter.

478
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: Twenty points for Luca, and it did not matter who

479
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 4: was guarding him. He had and ones, he had step backs.

480
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 4: He even had a driving dunk in a half four possession.

481
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: It's like Davante Graham too small. Sorry, buddy, but this

482
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: is the fourth time in February already that Lucas had

483
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: forty or more points. He's now up to fifth in scoring,

484
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 4: fifth and assists. It looked like you go for sixty

485
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 4: last night, but the map were up big in the fourth,

486
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 4: thought maybe Luca's not coming back until CJ. McCollum got really,

487
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: really hot. He had eighteen and the fourth. The Pelicans

488
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: cut the lead to four with thirty seconds left, but

489
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: Dallas made just enough free throws and play just enough

490
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 4: defense to get their sixth win in seven games. My

491
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: two big takeaways. Number One, all Luca needs to do

492
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 4: to win MVP is show up in Strape. Like, if

493
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 4: he shows up this Luka Doncic at the beginning of

494
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: the season, he's probably gonna be the leader. If he's

495
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: he looks like a different player, Like physically he looks different.

496
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 4: He's less sweaty, his haircut looks better, and his body

497
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 4: looks more spelt. He's moving incredible out there. Number Two,

498
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: Watching the MAVs play the Pelicans, I couldn't stop thinking

499
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: about how similar the Kristaps Porzingis trade is to the

500
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: Yonis Valanciunis trade, where Like there are reasons that you

501
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 4: would make the trade contract wise, like maybe the Grizzlies

502
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 4: didn't want to have to pay JV right. The Mavericks

503
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 4: obviously wanted to get off the Kristaps Porzingis contract as well.

504
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 4: They're both solid players. But I kind of think it

505
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 4: was like the front office is saying, we are wasting

506
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: our time posting up literally anytime. Why don't we just

507
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: put the roll guys out there in Powell and Kleber.

508
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 4: Cleber picks and pops a little bit, but he can

509
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 4: roll too. He got a nice dunk air, and just

510
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 4: do everything with your star like you want to. Valanciunos,

511
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: you're a solid player, Christaps Porzingis, You're good when you play,

512
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 4: but you ain't Luca and you ain't Josh. So let's

513
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: just go all in on those guys. It's a little

514
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: bit like auditioned by subtraction. It's a little bit just

515
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 4: doubling down on what you're the best at, and it's

516
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: obviously working for the Mavericks.

517
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: Practice your free throws.

518
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: Luca have to say that because he had two to

519
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 5: get fifty yeah, thirteen.

520
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: Seconds ago and he missed both of them. Yeah.

521
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 5: I mean that was the only knock on his game

522
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 5: last night, because he had that step back going in

523
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 5: the first half as well, and it was just incredible.

524
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 5: Was he was awesome, and the Pelicans did make it

525
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 5: a contest.

526
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 6: But it is interesting.

527
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: I thought I jinxed it. Sorry, I don't know. Maybe

528
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: task was watching the document The Dark last night that

529
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 3: we work on for the show. It's our pick them game.

530
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were up huge twenty four or something else.

531
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: Well that's another win for skis kill It this month.

532
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: And I updated the standings and then like I checked

533
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: the score like five minutes later, and it was like

534
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 3: a five point game. Oh no, I've done it.

535
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw you.

536
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 3: I thought I saw you.

537
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 5: I mean, that's really what I came down to. Luca

538
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 5: was just ungoudable really last night. I mean, when he's

539
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: got that step back going uh, he's he's incredible, and

540
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 5: you can see it, you know, he's got that sort

541
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 5: of slow sort of wind up to it, but then

542
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 5: he takes a gigantic step, creates a spice and when

543
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 5: it's going, man, he's fun to watch.

544
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: Yes, superstars like this if they have a rough game

545
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: like he did the night before or the game before

546
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: against the Miami Heat where he's five of nineteen and

547
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: he was getting doubled all over the place and then

548
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: he gets loose against the team that is, you know,

549
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: sort of soft doubling him, just showing a second body

550
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: kind of this. These are the kind of nights if

551
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 2: you like playing player props that he's going to go off.

552
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: He was five to nineteen again the night before, the

553
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: game before against the Miami Heat, and then he got

554
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: thirty five opportunities in this game because they were just

555
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: giving him space. So anytime you see a yeah, a

556
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: jham knight from a guy like Luca, it's happened. As

557
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: Trey said, he's had some four forty point games so

558
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: far in February, and he's had you know, a couple

559
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: and eighteen and the twenty one, and he bounces back

560
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: big time to give you some juice, especially when you

561
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: get locked up with a Heat defense. Who said everybody

562
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: else DFS story in Phinney Smith, come on, come come

563
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: beat us, Reggie Bullock, when you get back healthy, you

564
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 2: come beat Uskleba, you come beat us, like all those

565
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: types of guys. But the Pelicans just got they got

566
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: down early and it was hard for them to come back.

567
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: So who is currently at the MVP table? If Luca

568
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: has pulled up a seat, I assume it's Yo, Kitch,

569
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 3: Giannis Embiid.

570
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, those are all three main stays they got. They

571
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: would be sitting in the spots right now where me,

572
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 4: Tass and Lee are sitting, okay, like they're entrenched. Yeah,

573
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: the two outer seats are switching quite a bit right now.

574
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 4: I got Luca and Demarta Rosen Okay sitting in the

575
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 4: fourth and fifth spots. Steph Curry's been sitting there for

576
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 4: quite a while. John Moran's had a seat. Chris Paul

577
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 4: stop by for a little bit, but you know, he's

578
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 4: kind of been in and out. So that's my current five.

579
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: That sounds right? You would you agree with that? It's

580
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: it's the three giants there in Yoki, Jannis Embiid, and

581
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: then right now Luca the heater, he's on his tray

582
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 3: put it, and then maybe the fifth being a DeRozan

583
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 3: or maybe you have somebody else.

584
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: I'd probably have Jaw just just a slot tilt ahead of.

585
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 6: Duma Jar ahead of Dema. But Dumas like I've just

586
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 6: got to take a coal. He's it. It's all right.

587
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: There's a lot of that, yeah going on. Yeah, Okay,

588
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: the other games, I'm just gonna lump them together.

589
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: Tasks.

590
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: You can talk about both of them, you can talk

591
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: about none of them. You can talk about one of them.

592
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 3: Rui Hachimura and Kispert lead the Wizards past the Nets

593
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: one seventeen one O three, and then the Clippers raced

594
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: to an early lead and cruised past the Rockets one

595
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: to one eleven.

596
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: I know the Wizard's season has gone sort of off

597
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: the rails a little bit with beel out. They're traded

598
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: for kristapspors Zingis, who is not playing basketball currently. It's

599
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: a weird season for them, But I will say I

600
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: do enjoy watching their young guys play. And they're young

601
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: guys being Danny Avdiya and Riyachimura. Those two guys not

602
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: home runs from each of those drafts. Not superstar players

603
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: by any means. They're not going to be number one guys,

604
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: but Ada and are going to have long careers in

605
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: this league. And I think what kind of goes out

606
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: of the Raidar about Avdia is they put him on

607
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: really good wing players a lot of the time, and

608
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: he stays down and he plays hard, and he's a

609
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: really good secondary playmaker and secondary score. They did pretty

610
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: good with him, even though you know they I think

611
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: he was drafted over Halliburton. All right, you might want

612
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: Halliburton instead, but a decent pick there and Hachimura a

613
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: lot of injuries, but he's come along as well as

614
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: being a really, really efficient player. So those dudes are

615
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: coming off the bench. Still, it's an interesting rotation for

616
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: West End Unsell Junior. They're still playing the Vets. They're

617
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: still playing your Kuzmas and your capes kcps and trying

618
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 2: to win basketball games. But eventually it's a little Nixie.

619
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: We should see more of these young players, I think

620
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: because they're efficient than they're playing really well and they're

621
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: not shot happy by any means. I think they'll still

622
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: play within the offense in the starting lineup, so I

623
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: think there's some positivity to take away from this ugly season.

624
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: Then they still have to mix in with Beal and

625
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: Porzingis later on, but there's still a game out of

626
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: the play in tournament. Only a game. It sure seems

627
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: like they're in fourteenth place, but they could get there.

628
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: They definitely could get there.

629
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: We have some news when it comes to Anthony Davis.

630
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: We got an update. Lakers star forward ed diagnosed with

631
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: a mid foot sprain on Thursday. This is from the

632
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 3: Lakers themselves. They say he will be out at least

633
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: four weeks. TK how big of a hit. Could this

634
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 3: injury be here for the Lakers?

635
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 4: This is bad news. Bear as Walter Mathow, I am

636
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 4: daughter dating a biker, worried if I'm the Lakers because

637
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: Lebron has been ballin'. Like, Lebron has been playing incredible

638
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: basketball this season and it doesn't matter four and six

639
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 4: with Anthony Davis in the lineup since his return the

640
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 4: silver Lining, I think if you're the Lakers, one of

641
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 4: those weeks is taken up by All Star, so you're

642
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: not losing any games at that point. Because the schedule

643
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: is brutal for the Lakers once they come back from

644
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 4: the break. They've got the third hardest schedule remaining per

645
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: tankathon dot Com, and speaking to Tanking, they could lose

646
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 4: their pick this year if they end they could it

647
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 4: could go to the Grizzlies. So to me, it's playing

648
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: life for the Lakers once again. Like, I don't think

649
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: that they have any chance of getting to the sixth seed.

650
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 4: They're two and a half up on the tenth seed

651
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 4: Portland right now, and then four and a half games

652
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 4: up on the eleventh seed, so it seems like they'll

653
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 4: probably still make it to the play in tournament. Lebron James,

654
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: perhaps the greatest player and play in tournament history. Remember

655
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: the three baskets shot he hit from half court last year.

656
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 4: Kind of slipped my memory, but that definitely happened. I

657
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: think it's really realistic they don't make it to the

658
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: top eight and play in the real playoffs this season.

659
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and who's available that they could get to replace him?

660
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: I mean Dwat and DeAndre have given them nothing, so

661
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 5: they needed someone. You know, it's not going to be mellow. Obviously,

662
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 5: he can't play that position, so they need a big.

663
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 5: They need a body. I'm not quite sure who it

664
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 5: is they get, but Anthony Davis. I mean, his season,

665
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 5: it just feels like he started the season, didn't what

666
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: didn't look great, He went down with the knee injury,

667
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: and now he's out again with another ankle injury. I mean,

668
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 5: even if he was to come back and let's say

669
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: four or five weeks just before the playoffs, you just

670
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: don't feel that he would be ready to go, like

671
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: he's conditioning, would need a lot of work in that.

672
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: But he was looking okay when he did come back here.

673
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 6: But so many times.

674
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: This season he's gone up for a rebound something, come

675
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 5: down and just look like, oh, he's done something, and

676
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: he did that the other night, so yeah, it's been

677
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: a rough season for him.

678
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's wise to remember the All

679
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: Star Break is not the halfway mark of the season.

680
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: When these guys come back from All Star weekend and

681
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: a couple of days off, there are like seven weeks

682
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 3: left in the season until the playoffs or the play

683
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: in tournament. I guess very little time, and Edie could

684
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: miss a good chunk of that task, maybe even the

685
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: whole thing for all we know, depending on what happens

686
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: with the Lakers at a certain point. If it looks

687
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: like we're toast, then maybe he doesn't even return. Who knows.

688
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's bad.

689
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, I would say they're not going to

690
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: be toast toast I don't think. I don't think they're

691
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: going to fall out of the play in picture. I

692
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: think what they're playing for is either lose two games

693
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: to go home or lose one game to go home.

694
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: And by that I mean the seven eight bracket or

695
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: the nine to ten bracket. They're playing for the and

696
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: maybe they can't get to that seven eight part of

697
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 2: it now with a d O. But I still think

698
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: they're going to be hanging out in that play in

699
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: tournament again one more time.

700
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: It's weird.

701
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 2: Maybe they can get help in the buy out market.

702
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: It may not be a big because the best players

703
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: are still guards out there, and they may just have

704
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: to go small with Braun at the center, a lot

705
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: of center in crunch time. They may try Trevor Reza.

706
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: But what I really think is going to happen is

707
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: it's Westbrook time, baby, and yeah, well you can play.

708
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: He is going to play something like he's going to

709
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: get to the hoop. It's that type of that's that

710
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: time of year. Remember last year, Well, let's be a

711
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: little positive. At the end of the year, he helped

712
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: the Wizards get to their own version of the playing

713
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: tournament because he went buck nutty after the All Star break.

714
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: He just he just he was crazy Westbrook in a

715
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: good way, you know, sort of out of control getting

716
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: to the rim. Has he preserved his Body's he ready

717
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: for this to you know, they're going to give up

718
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: a ton of points at the other end. But maybe

719
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: if they get a drag in the buy out market,

720
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: maybe they can outscore teams and and and just get

721
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: to the line with you know, they're guys intact and

722
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 2: ready for a play in tournament with let's let's let's

723
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: be realistic here, they're gonna be a play in tournament

724
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: with the Wolves, Clippers and Blazers or you know, a

725
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: team of that ELK. So yeah, nah, it's when when

726
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: it's not. It's not looking good right now, but when

727
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: if if they come back, they can win two games.

728
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 5: I think Westbrook did sort of something similar with Houston

729
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 5: as well. Remember when they went super small, Robert Covington

730
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 5: was there big and that you know, got them to

731
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 5: the playoffs at least didn't really work in the playoffs,

732
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 5: So maybe there's something there. I mean, Frank Vogels has

733
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: got not many choices right now?

734
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: How many options?

735
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a really bad timing for Anthony Davis too.

736
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: I wonder what does this mean for his status in

737
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: going to Cleveland here for the top seventy five celebration.

738
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean, by all accounts, he was on crutches when

739
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: he was leaving the arena the other night. Now the MRI,

740
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: it's okay, I guess this mid foot sprain, but will

741
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: he even be there? He'll be there, you think, so

742
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: he wouldn't turn it down. I mean, I don't know.

743
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: I guess Shaq had a broken foot and he missed

744
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: the top fifty.

745
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 4: It's a good point. That's a good point.

746
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: It's a little hardened esque, Hey I got picked last,

747
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: not comming.

748
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying because he's injury,

749
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 3: they do not want to be getting on a plane

750
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: and being on it.

751
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he hasn't. He hasn't lived up to

752
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: his top seventy five billing this season. I know he's

753
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: not an all star this season. Maybe he says, I'll pass,

754
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: I'll pass, I'll join later.

755
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 3: I don't know why I thought about this driving in.

756
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: You know, we were upset Dwight Howard was snubbed for

757
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: the top seventy five. Yes, I think we should be

758
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: more outraged that Yo Kich isn't on it either. I

759
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: don't know, it's like that's gonna you're outrage. Well, I mean, well,

760
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: I guess it's just you know, I'm just yelling in

761
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: my car to myself.

762
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 4: The story.

763
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know it's it's because it's gonna look silly.

764
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: It's just the timing was weird. I get it, but

765
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 3: they should have leaned into like they did with Shack

766
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: really back when he did the top fifty, It's like, oh,

767
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: he only played four seasons, but he.

768
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 6: Was numbers at the time.

769
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: It's right right, you even feel like a little more

770
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: confident in including him, I would say at this point.

771
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean okay, they got seventy six already,

772
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah.

773
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll make it seventy seven. Then at that point,

774
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: all right, let's take our first break. When we come back,

775
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 3: we'll get to some All Star Weekend predictions.

776
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere, all.

777
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: Right, back when No Duck's here in the Classic Factory,

778
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: Let's get to some All Star Weekend predictions. You guys

779
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: love All Star Weekend. Yeah, I'm a fanboy for it.

780
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: Some people hate it. They're curmudgeons in my eyes, though,

781
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 3: who else do have these exhibition games and didn't come

782
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: get out of here? Firts? So let's make some predictions

783
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: because we are going to be watching it live together,

784
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: kicking it here tomorrow night. Join us around eight pm

785
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: Eastern to watch the skills and the three point contest

786
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: and the dunk contests and all of that. Can't wait

787
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 3: for that. But let's start with the skills, and then

788
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 3: I've got some other sort of All Star weekend questions

789
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: for you guys, including All Star Game MVP, and we

790
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: ask everybody in the stream team to make your predictions

791
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: as well. But the skills challenge to remind you new

792
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 3: format challenge points.

793
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: You think you have to remind me about this?

794
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: Oh you're a sicko too, You're a skill sickle.

795
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: Listen. I know we're starting with the best event here,

796
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: but this, this is the event that is most forgettable

797
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: when it comes to Saturday night. Yeah yeah, and that's

798
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: this is the event that people you know, obviously don't

799
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: care for that much, those old farts as you called them,

800
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, But this new format will make it better.

801
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: Okay, share the teams for the podcast listeners task. Who

802
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: we got here?

803
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: Yes, we have three teams. It used to be every

804
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: man for himself. It used to be every individual. Then

805
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: they went small, these biggies, Yeah you know they it

806
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 2: was it was usually a guard type format, but then

807
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 2: they went small as big sit. We got to change

808
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: it up to fix it. Here's another iteration. This is

809
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 2: this is them trying to fix it. So three teams.

810
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: The first team is the Aditakubros as they like their

811
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: hashtag Cumbo's It's yes, said Coboessa Toubo and alex Ato.

812
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: The second team, the All Cleveland team, being that it's

813
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. You got a big in Jared Allen, a

814
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 2: slight big and Evan Mobley who can handle, and Darius

815
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: Garland the All Star right along along with Jared Allen.

816
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: Is it all Star? I should have said that? And

817
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: then the rook crew. What a rookie class. We've got

818
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: Scottie Barnes, Kate Cunningham, and Josh Giddy. So let's not

819
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 2: get too deep into it. But there's three rounds. There's

820
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: three rounds and there's a shooting round, a passing round,

821
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: and then a really around. So the shooting round, each

822
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: member of the three teams goes to five different spots,

823
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: so it's going to take I think they get thirty

824
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 2: seconds each guy if I'm correct, Yeah, yeah, it's thirty seconds.

825
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: Bang Bang Bang Bank Bank. Other guy comes shoot from

826
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: these five spots, bang Bang Bank Bank Bank, and then

827
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: they get into a passing thing. You hit some oversized targets.

828
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: That could be fun.

829
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what they do with that one,

830
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: because that's usually to me oddly my favorite part of

831
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 3: the relay thing. That's where they always watch it. Yeah,

832
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: they like, you know, the bounce past this little hoop.

833
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: It always it bounces out, so who knows what It.

834
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: Passes and passes into oversized moving targets, the score points

835
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: moving targets.

836
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 3: Wow.

837
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 2: Cool, cool, It's like a Patrick Mahomes situation. Yeah, it's

838
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 2: like the home and then a relay similar in format

839
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: to what we've seen in the past. A mix of passing, dribbling,

840
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 2: and shooting. So people will say, ah, you gotta favorite

841
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: the little guys. I say, anyone can win this time.

842
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 3: Who won it last yearly? The skills challenge?

843
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 5: Great question, and I'm glad you asked me. The only

844
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 5: skills challenge I think I remember is Titum hitting a

845
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 5: half quarter.

846
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 6: To win it.

847
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I don't know.

848
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: Five years or something, we saw Patrick Beverly in person.

849
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: I remember that because that was shocking. He wanted you

850
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: want you wanted Patrick think?

851
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 3: And I only know this because I saw Trade tweeting

852
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 3: with Tom Ziller this morning.

853
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: Bonus won it, right, Yeah, last Jakes have won it,

854
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: Porzingis has won it. Anybody any team went now. Now,

855
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: I guess a little can't win a big can it's not.

856
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: It's not a little or big. It's a whole team.

857
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: It's a whole they combined scores or what.

858
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: And then there is a half court shooting element to

859
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 3: this too at the end. That's like round four if

860
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 3: you want to call it that, like like the.

861
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: It's part of well, yeah, two teams advance, yeah whatever, Yes,

862
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: there will be half court shots.

863
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: It's sort of its own separate event. I believe the

864
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 3: top two teams after those three that you took us through,

865
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: have a half court battle. Yeah cool. So yeah, all

866
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 3: that's to say, who's your prediction, Trey get it started?

867
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I know we're all huge Skills Challenge.

868
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 4: There's dozens of us out there at this point. My

869
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 4: my first inclination is go with Team Cleveland. Home court advantage, Yeah,

870
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 4: you know, playing in their own confines, it's really gonna

871
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 4: mean a lot. Plus they've got an all star guard,

872
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 4: which I think is kind of the trump card here,

873
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: having a guard who is good at this, like he

874
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: would probably be picked for the real Skills Challenge. You

875
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: don't know if everybody else would, though, I will say

876
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 4: my second my second choice would be the rookies. They've

877
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: got a nice collection of guys who can all handle

878
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 4: pass and shoot. What I'm saying is I think come in.

879
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: Third Ken, Josh Giddy and Barnes shoot.

880
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 4: Scottie Barnes might get replaced.

881
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 2: Okay, because entry So that didn't make.

882
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 3: It right now, Precious to Chewa and Scottie Barnes are

883
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: still in Toronto. They're missing rising stars, media availability, and

884
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: there's some concern that they're not going to get to

885
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: the tonight. But by Saturday, I would hope they have gotten.

886
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they could start driving that at least Scotti.

887
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, they do have more shooters than the Bros.

888
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: Not shooters, but I'm going with that brotherly push. Yeah,

889
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: the energy, the energy will be there, and yeah it

890
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: should be with Cleveland too. But the Rooks, I don't know.

891
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: I don't know how you Okay, Okay, So who are

892
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: you ultimately taking?

893
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 4: Calves?

894
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: You're taking calves, You're taking I'm taking the taking, the

895
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: Bros taking the Greeks.

896
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 5: I'm playing the Home of cart Oh yeah, of course.

897
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 5: But also with the moving time, have you seen some

898
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 5: of those sling passes Josh Giddy throws.

899
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 6: This is going to be right in his alley.

900
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: He should, he should dominate that.

901
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 4: You know, they're given style points this year.

902
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: I hope, so, I hope.

903
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 6: So.

904
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're going the Rooks, all right? So that

905
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: leaves me I'll be doubling up with somebody here. I

906
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: was just looking at the odds for this. Yes you

907
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 3: can bet on? Oh wait, Ken, yeah you can. The

908
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: Rooks are favorites, followed by the Calves and then uh

909
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: and then it's the Greek bros. There. But I like

910
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 3: your thinking. I think Yannis especially, let's get this for Alex.

911
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 3: Let's go do this 'shoto, good photo of us hold

912
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: the the trophy, bulletin board material that I believe in

913
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: is not believes in the end of the day, I

914
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: guess doesn't believe. Yeah, I'm with you.

915
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to get to the finals. Can you

916
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: bet on that we will get to the finals and

917
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: the skills But I am worried that about the half

918
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 2: court shooting when it comes down to it, of Nyasis.

919
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: Okay, they got the best chance of making those shots

920
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 4: interesting then like a three pointer. Yeah, I think if

921
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: the answer to Compo's win and a G League player

922
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 4: wins the skills challenge. They shtu're canceled. It'll be hard

923
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: to see it go as the jewel of All Star

924
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 4: Saturday Night. But if a G League player wins it,

925
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 4: it's over.

926
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 3: And is going to try and end it.

927
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

928
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: If we're saying that the most skilled player in basketball

929
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 4: doesn't play in the NBA, they got to get rid

930
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 4: of it.

931
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: I know they want to eat some time, and they've

932
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 2: got a sponsor on this thing. But the most excited

933
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: we get, and the most excited the players get, is

934
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 2: when we talk about the half court shots.

935
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: Half court shots.

936
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: They love doing that at practice, they have the competitions,

937
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: they put money on it. Yeah, what the hell are

938
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: they waiting for? Or just get it going? I course yes,

939
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: I mean I have to be a shooting Stars thing.

940
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: I don't think they can be long enough if you're

941
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: thinking about formatting it.

942
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 3: By the way, somebody out there in the stream team,

943
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: do me a favor and keep track of all of

944
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 3: our predictions here because we might have to put something

945
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: on the line tomorrow night. So let's get to the

946
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 3: three point contests. In fact, there's eight shooters, there's four

947
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: of us. Let's let's pick our favorites to win. It

948
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 3: and then we'll have a backup. Okay, so we're going

949
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 3: to be forced to like not being like, oh we

950
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 3: all like X, let's make this interesting tomorrow night with

951
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: our watch party. So well, I almost feel like we

952
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: should let Lee pick first a three point shooter of

953
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: the bunch. So Desmond Bane, Luke Canard, who had a

954
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: little practice last.

955
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Night, going yeah, career eight.

956
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zach Levine. I mean, as far as we know,

957
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: he's still in it. They haven't said otherwise. CJ McCollum

958
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: had a big game. We didn't even talk about him

959
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: versus the Luca and the Mavericks last night. But up

960
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 3: some points, we've got Paddy Mills, Karl Anthony Towns, the

961
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 3: big big in this, Fred Vansley and Trey Young. So Lee,

962
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: you make your first pick.

963
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just I'm going to play the Homer card again.

964
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 5: Why not go with Paddy. He's having a great season.

965
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 5: I would love to see him. We I'd love to

966
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 5: see in Australian when it because history could be made.

967
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 5: It could be an Australian win it. We could have

968
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 5: the first time at dunk Champ has won the three

969
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 5: point shootout. In Zach Lavan, we could have a lefty

970
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 5: and lookie. So I mean, history's there to be made.

971
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 5: But I'm going with Paddy Mills. Why wouldn't I? Why

972
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 5: wouldn't I?

973
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Trey, you're up next. Who's your pick?

974
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 4: Are we going four homers this round?

975
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: Good nuts?

976
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 4: Okay, give me zach Lavine. He's not actually my favorite,

977
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 4: but after the All Star Draft, I did feel bad

978
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 4: that you guys got both of the ball. So I'm

979
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: gonna have to go with zach Lavine though I don't know.

980
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: He just jumps too high for me. He jumps too

981
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 4: high for it to be replicable in a three point contest,

982
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 4: which I think is kind of a disadvantage. You want

983
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 4: a nice, short, compact stroke. But I gotta get my

984
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 4: guy early on.

985
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 3: All right, Tas, you.

986
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, because you're you've been more of a home

987
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: than I have. You've worn the Raptor's jersey more than

988
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 2: I have.

989
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: So oh, Homer, Homer, Okay, let's make it.

990
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to force you to. Yeah,

991
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 2: why not give me Fred van Vliet knee. There's a

992
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 2: knee issue.

993
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 4: There, there's an issue, gotcha.

994
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 3: I'm not convinced, and I know this is what fred wants.

995
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 3: He wants me to doubt him. He loves that. He

996
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: wants to bet on himself all the time, and he

997
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: always wins. So he's gonna make me look silly or

998
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 3: make people look silly. But I'm just I can't see

999
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: him with the rack. I don't know what it is.

1000
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 3: I see him more of as a little bit off

1001
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: the dribble guy. But I'll take Freddy.

1002
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: Okay, are we going snake here? I should get two pitchs,

1003
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 2: sneaky bastard. All right, well it's the same thing. It's

1004
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: gotta be a snake.

1005
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 3: Alright, got you got you got the next two?

1006
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Homer, I live in Atlanta. Gave me Trey gotta

1007
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: bounce back. You gotta bounce back after what happened in Chicago.

1008
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 2: Didn't have a good one. Yeah, a couple of years ago.

1009
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 2: And Desmond Bane.

1010
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I wanted Desmond.

1011
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: The muscularity I think will take him through the couple

1012
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: of rounds. He's not going to get tired dragging around

1013
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: all that weight, all those muscles. He'll be all right,

1014
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 2: He's tough.

1015
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 3: Okay, back to me, then, uh give me the nerd

1016
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: dog name Tomorrow night with the lefty winning this thing,

1017
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 3: and I liked what I saw last night there the

1018
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 3: blowout victory, So yeah, I'll take.

1019
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 6: His family cried out there.

1020
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, you know we're taking a photo here. Yeah,

1021
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 3: all right, So back to I guess it's Towns or McCallum.

1022
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, man's got to have a down, but I'm going

1023
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 4: with Cat. Oh he's got a he's got an easy

1024
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 4: reclable stroke as well. Big guy. Though, little nervous on

1025
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 4: a big guy. But I do like the Towns basically

1026
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 4: shoots a set shot like he's not putting a lot

1027
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 4: of a lot of legs into it.

1028
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 2: Okay, and you got to travel a little I'll travel

1029
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: a little bit more with the big man. You gotta

1030
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 2: go up to the mountain deuce. But because there's the

1031
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 2: extra two balls, right, legs are long.

1032
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 3: Who's going to be the best at the bombs? Then

1033
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 3: the dudes the bombs?

1034
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 6: I guess you.

1035
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: Sneaky, he's got some distance two s threes, Okay, so

1036
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: you get call in there and then let's get to

1037
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: the dunk contest. So this one's gonna be interesting. Somebody's

1038
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 3: going to be stuck with j t A.

1039
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 4: I think he's going forth here.

1040
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 3: H yeah, I think so, so who goes first? I

1041
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: guess it's not It's not me and Trade did sort

1042
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: of get the first crack at the skills because he

1043
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: loves it. So task, here we go. Task, you get

1044
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 3: the first one.

1045
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: I'll go next. Yes, it's it's between two guys for me.

1046
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 2: But I'm going with Cole Anthony. I did some homework

1047
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 2: here watching him in some Florida dunk contests. I think

1048
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: he's got the most to offer. And uh, I think

1049
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: his size helps. You know, you gotta go with it.

1050
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: You gotta go with a tiny guy, and uh, he

1051
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 2: is the smallest guy by a couple of inches. I

1052
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: didn't think that. Just when I saw the roster here.

1053
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: I thought John Green maybe the same size, but Cole

1054
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: Anthony's a couple of inches shorter, which helps. But I

1055
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: think I think he's got more. Watching Jalen Green, the

1056
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: next pick in this draft here, I assume.

1057
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 3: That's yeah, I'll take the favorite. Vega says the same.

1058
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 2: I think it's the same dunk a lot of the time.

1059
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he looks cool as ship when he dunks.

1060
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeap, he throws down.

1061
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, who knows what he's actually gonna try.

1062
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 3: We know this whole NFT thing is going to be

1063
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 3: in play here top shot, so that could go wrong,

1064
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 3: I guess, but I'll take I'll take him, by the way.

1065
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 3: Jalen Green's the favorite, will be topping his next, and then.

1066
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: Cles Cole's got some history through the legs over guys.

1067
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 2: That's what the that's what the YouTube says.

1068
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 3: Let's go Trey next.

1069
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 6: That's all right, Yeah, I've got I've got, so.

1070
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 3: You're taking you're taking. Okay, So the big guy always

1071
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: tough for a big guy to win, but he has

1072
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 3: some experience. I always like a guy that's been in

1073
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 3: it before, or even though it was a weird one

1074
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 3: last year.

1075
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 4: I was doing some research this morning in the shower.

1076
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 4: I had them second on my draft board. You know.

1077
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 4: My my research was like thinking of who I would pick. Okay,

1078
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 4: Number one was Jailen Great.

1079
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 3: All right, let's let's hear from the stream team. Who

1080
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: are you taking in all three of those events on

1081
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,160

1082
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 3: and we'll uh, I don't know. We got to figure

1083
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 3: out either what the winner gets or whoever. Now, let's

1084
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: just figure out what the winner gets. But anything come

1085
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 3: to mind, Pet.

1086
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 6: You get a message from JD.

1087
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 3: In Weird a couple of the questions Rising Stars tonight,

1088
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 3: new format on that one.

1089
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 4: You can be watching, Yes, of course, of course I

1090
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 4: will do. I know what's happening. No, not really. I'm

1091
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 4: excited to see these guys shooting from the legendary spots. Yeah,

1092
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 4: I hope they're going for the re enactments rather than

1093
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 4: just the shooting of shots. If you don't shoot a

1094
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: hook shot from Magic Johnson's spot, it doesn't count in

1095
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 4: my book. And yeah, I mean the elam ending it's

1096
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 4: gotta help because Rising Stars to me, worse than the

1097
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 4: celebrity game in general. But maybe having this there, to

1098
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 4: have the guys plan for something at the end actually

1099
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 4: will help.

1100
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 3: You have a final target score fifty to in the

1101
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 3: first two games and then twenty five in the final game.

1102
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 3: Betwo the two winners.

1103
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been forgettable. The Friday nights have been

1104
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: forgettable unless somebody's clown in somebody, unless there's a bounce

1105
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: alley oop, bounce pass alloop, which has been cool, you know,

1106
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: those singular plays. But now we got three elam endings

1107
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: on Friday Night, So maybe we'll see that.

1108
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: Hey, can I you guys keep saying that, Are they

1109
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 3: elam endings when they're a final target scores at the

1110
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 3: same thing?

1111
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that's.

1112
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 2: What that's what.

1113
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 3: Legit asking.

1114
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 4: Well maybe it isn't.

1115
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: I thought it was. But there's a difference, right, because

1116
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 3: in an All Star game, they weren't saying first two

1117
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 3: one hundred wins. They weren't saying like first to this

1118
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 3: score wins, which is what they're doing in these games.

1119
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: Well, they would get to the play three quarters. Yeah,

1120
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: they'd first to twenty four in honor of Kobe Bryant,

1121
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: first of twenty four.

1122
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,919
Speaker 3: Oh that's good point. Yeah, yeah, but then they played

1123
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 3: the first Yeah, okay, I thought there was a swa

1124
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 3: different all same idea, same idea. What you excited for this?

1125
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: This is a nine pm start for you on Friday night. Yeah,

1126
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 3: it's a bit of later. A little worried about you

1127
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: watching this? You'll be watching the highlights.

1128
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 5: I have a feeling, yes, and I'll be enjoying those highlights,

1129
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 5: and I'll be taking notes and looking forward to it.

1130
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 3: And I would and we could, like we could do

1131
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Are you team Isaiah? Your team? Rick Berry?

1132
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: Your team Wordsy, your team Peyton, but like I don't

1133
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 3: want to show you the teams again, and like we've

1134
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 3: had sobs like Kaminga's in Bones Highlands in who knows

1135
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 3: half these guys are going to show up with the weather.

1136
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1137
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: You've been talking about the Busy Bone. I think it's

1138
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: Busy Bone. Oh yeah, wearing the Caves jersey that you're

1139
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: wearing right now, first of the month. Yeah, Bones Highland

1140
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 2: is obviously his nickname is Bones. His Twitter handle is

1141
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: busy Bone. It's in Cleveland. It's got to be sometimes.

1142
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 3: Are they doing a rising as MVP? I think have

1143
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 3: been over the years.

1144
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 4: Okay, I like Bones, that's a good peck. Bones dugs

1145
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 4: in harmony, Ah, Cleveland.

1146
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 3: Best guest ly at how Cleveland's going to celebrate the

1147
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 3: NBA seventy five really seventy six.

1148
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they're going to get all the players

1149
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 5: out on the court at some point. I just don't

1150
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 5: think we're going to see the same thing we saw

1151
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 5: twenty five.

1152
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 3: Guy is convinced we're not jacket no.

1153
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 5: No, but some sort of like you know, acknowledgment of

1154
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 5: because a lot of the players actually are no longer

1155
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 5: with US as well, So there's probably only around fifty

1156
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 5: or so who actually will be there in attendance, and

1157
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 5: maybe something like Davis might maybe not there as well.

1158
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 5: But I think it'll just be like, hey, this guy

1159
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 5: w four championships and two MVPs or whatever, and give

1160
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 5: it up for it.

1161
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 3: There'll be a quick introduction for each player. I think

1162
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 3: five slash twenty six lists, okay, but no Jackets, of course,

1163
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1164
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 5: But maybe they obviously like, let's just run it back

1165
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 5: because everyone still remembers it, so let's do it again, all.

1166
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 3: Right, but your team Jackets, I'm team Jackets.

1167
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 4: Jackets are mentioned too often by people that are like

1168
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 4: actually connected to the league, like any Johnson mentioned Jackets

1169
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 4: when they were showing Charles Barklay's you know, like behind

1170
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 4: the scenes footage last night, and I was like, Fernie

1171
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 4: knows about the Jackets. Everybody knows about the Jackets. So

1172
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna get like a like a twenty

1173
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 4: twenty two version of the Jackets. You know. I don't

1174
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 4: think that they'll be exactly the same, but I think

1175
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 4: there'll be something memorable that they give to everybody that

1176
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 4: kind of relates to their career when they do these introductions,

1177
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 4: and I assume it'll all be at halftime. I don't

1178
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: know why. I just think they're going to run everything

1179
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 4: back from nineteen ninety seven.

1180
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 3: I sort of do too. What do you think.

1181
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: I think that I'm I've been scouring the internet looking.

1182
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Athletic Live bog just for a clue,

1183
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: just for a clue, because that's how I am. I

1184
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: just need to dig. But now I got nothing?

1185
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 3: What about this? What about this?

1186
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 6: Just hit me?

1187
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 3: Common introduces seventy five slash seventy six greatest players of

1188
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 3: all time with like a slick bar.

00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 3: the way to go. This is the way to go.

1196
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: And maybe a little like a little rock and roll

1197
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 3: vibe or in Cleveland.

1198
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:23,360

Speaker 3: which player will be the most difficult for Common to

1209
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,000

Speaker 3: We need we need a lie for every player from

1233
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 3: from everybody in the stream team right now, for everybody

1234
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 3: listening later, watching later, drop your best common like bars

1235
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 3: for all of the top seventy five players.

1236
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 4: I love this.

1237
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 3: They will compile them.

1238
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 4: A good comment from Ty Winter in the stream tes

1239
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 4: Dave de Busher might be a tough.

1240
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 6: List, it's for sure.

1241
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 2: Oh come on, man, usually your money usually are a swisher.

1242
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, it's Dave Busher.

1243
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 6: Something about him shot.

1244
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 3: O.

1245
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 4: Clyde Drexla, Yeah, don't call him Ez Green because he'd

1246
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 4: never sex her. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Clyde Drexlerzy Green

1247
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 4: not named the list.

1248
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 2: Everybody he's going vegan these days. Clyde likes to eat

1249
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 2: at Wexler's. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Clyde Drexler.

1250
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 5: Joel embiid broke his record streak for scoring exactly thirty

1251
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 5: one points in the game this year.

1252
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 6: It's both mecadize.

1253
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 2: Bob.

1254
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that one needs this ship does.

1255
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 2: Alright?

1256
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 3: Okay, well let's hear your common leg lines. Are I

1257
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 3: guess my final question was All Star Weekend here, I

1258
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 3: don't know why I'm fighting this so funny All Star

1259
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 3: Game MVP. I'm not even asking it. Who's gonna win

1260
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 3: the game? Are your team Bro? Are you team Rant?

1261
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 3: I mean Lebron's gonna Winn's gonna win he always does,

1262
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 3: but all start gam m VP. I always love this

1263
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 3: question because you can like talk yourself in to the

1264
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 3: narrative part, Like you can either who's the great player

1265
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 3: in the game that doesn't have one because they all

1266
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 3: like to try and accumulate one. We've seen that before.

1267
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 3: Where the game is might come into play with being

1268
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 3: in Cleveland? Does that mean obviously a Cavs player or

1269
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 3: like Lebron going back? You know, so you go first,

1270
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 3: what's your reason behind your All Star Game MVP prediction?

1271
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 2: I'm talking myself into Lebron being in Cleveland. Better team.

1272
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a he's got a ridiculous team.

1273
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: The way his starters are just he's got the top

1274
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 2: three scorers in the game, and then he's got steph uh,

1275
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: and then he's got his other Who'sstero and Lebron other

1276
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: guy that's starting lineup. So somebody, I think somebody from

1277
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 2: that five is going to get it. I don't know.

1278
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 2: There's this Cleveland feeling in me. I think they'll just

1279
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 2: love him out there.

1280
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 4: Okay, Trey, that's a really good pick. Actually. I also

1281
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 4: like how at the All Star Draft he wouldn't trade

1282
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 4: away Darius Garland because he needed a protection for coming

1283
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 4: back to Cleveland. He's got some than on his mind. Yeah,

1284
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 4: that's a good pick. A little bit of me feels

1285
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 4: like I have to take Jared out. You almost got him. Nah,

1286
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 4: I'm not going I'm gonna take the other guy. You're

1287
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 4: talking to me in two skeets DeMar DeRose.

1288
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 3: I love it.

1289
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 4: He's a beloved player amongst other players. Obviously doesn't have

1290
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 4: an All Star MVP, and his shot making right now

1291
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 4: is incredible, so I figure he'll probably get fed a

1292
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 4: little bit, get a whole bunch of points, have some

1293
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 4: throwback cool dunks. You know, we don't see him quite

1294
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 4: as much anymore, but he can still get up and

1295
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 4: throw down.

1296
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 2: So give me DDR.

1297
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 3: I like that little addition there to the narrative aspect

1298
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 3: of the All Star Game MVP. Who do the other

1299
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 3: players sometimes want to help try and get there? Okay,

1300
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 3: so you're going to Rosan fourteen to one odds on

1301
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 3: de Rosan Lebron five to one odds. Where are you going?

1302
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 6: The only thing is with the older guys is they

1303
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 6: know they can sort of just take their pace.

1304
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 3: And it's a problem with the Lebron. He might just

1305
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 3: be like this a ton of times, you know.

1306
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 5: So I'm going with a guy who's on the biggest

1307
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 5: stage for the first time and he doesn't know how

1308
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 5: to do anything other than put up highlights.

1309
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 2: Jo Moran, Jo Moran.

1310
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 3: Seven to one odds. Yeah, okay. Who doesn't have one

1311
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: that is like an elite player in the league, Steph Curry.

1312
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 3: I don't have an all start the MVP, which is

1313
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 3: a little strange. Jannis does, yeah, right, last year, k doesn't.

1314
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 3: Embiid doesn't.

1315
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 6: You know what?

1316
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 3: Give me Curry. But it's a strange one. It's like

1317
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 3: he's gonna obviously just fire up a bunch of threes

1318
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 3: and is he gonna hit them or not. He struggle

1319
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 3: at times in these games, which is just weird. So

1320
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 3: I'll go Steph Curry though, you know you could talk

1321
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 3: me into a Luka jokicch You can go on and

1322
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 3: on and on. I love the Duroze and pick too.

1323
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 3: I would I'd put some coin on fourteen to one.

1324
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 3: I like those odds. All right, tear from everybody out

1325
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: there in the stream team. As you can tell, we're

1326
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 3: very excited for All Star weekend and for the final

1327
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: time I'll remind you here, well, I'll probably remind you

1328
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: at the end of the show one more time, but

1329
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: we got the watch party tomorrow night around a pm Eastern.

1330
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,560

1331
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,680

00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,760

1349
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 3: this week from tweet the night. We had a lot

1350
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 3: of instagrams. Now we got an email.

1351
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 2: I had to follow up the instagram yesterday with hey,

1352
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: it's an email. It's a follow up email. Though. From

1353
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, a fan of ours, Danny,

1354
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: he sent us his predicament. He was going to New

1355
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: York for Valentine's Day weekend. You can only go to

1356
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: one game. He could only drag his wife to one game,

1357
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 2: and he told us to pick the Knicks at home

1358
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 2: to the OKAC Thunder or Brooklyn at home to Sacramento.

1359
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: I think it was a pretty divided table in the

1360
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 2: end about it. Yeah, And he heard us wondering a

1361
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 2: couple of days ago, so he sent us the response,

1362
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 2: all right, Danny, emailing in. I decided to go with

1363
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 2: the Mecca and can safely say MSG deserves better. The

1364
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Nicks suck and Julius Randall has the attitude of a star,

1365
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: but not the quality to back it up. Interesting. I did, however,

1366
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 2: get to see Josh Giddy, a true star in the making.

1367
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: Oh he's a Giddy man. He put on a show

1368
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: and provided silky dishes and hair strokes. Even my wife,

1369
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 2: who I was explaining the rules to as we watched,

1370
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: could tell he was by far the best player on

1371
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 2: the court. And we're showing you a snapshot of Danny's

1372
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:58,479
Speaker 2: wife here in front of MSG, in front of the floor.

1373
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: There the twist though, here's a twist from Danny's email.

1374
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: As my wife and I are also into history, I

1375
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 2: was able to get a little day trip to Philadelphia

1376
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 2: where we were able to watch the seventy six ers

1377
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 2: take on the Cash and man, what a game. A

1378
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 2: forty piece triple double from Joel Embiad with a monster

1379
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 2: dunk that Saturday night. Wait to go, Danny. Yes I

1380
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 2: have the best wife, and yes she did get her

1381
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 2: own back by putting a big hole in my credit card.

1382
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 2: On Fifth Avenue, end of the email. All right, all right,

1383
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: so awesome he got to see so he.

1384
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Made the right call. Ultimately, you did decide that between

1385
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 3: the Barclays game that he that he would have got.

1386
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he got an MSG, he did worked out.

1387
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: At the beginning our debate was the beginning of the season. Okay,

1388
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna go see Brooklyn, you get Duran, you get

1389
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 2: one of the best ever, you get hard. That didn't happen, No,

1390
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 2: neither Guy orrv Flow you would I guess he would

1391
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 2: have sawt that was the Seth Curry Andre Drummonds starring

1392
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 2: that game. Or he went to the next game and

1393
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 2: he saw a triple double from Josh Giddy. Yeah, he

1394
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: picked the right game, there's no doubt.

1395
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 6: And he got to philadelph Yeah.

1396
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the game. A forty point performance from

1397
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Joel mbeat.

1398
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 5: Feel good about that, absolutely, Yeah, good on your Danny, Yeah,

1399
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 5: good on your Danny, saying Joshi in the garden.

1400
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah right stuff, great, great pick them results from last night.

1401
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 3: We obviously have no game to pick tonight. We'll take

1402
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 3: a little break. But it was Dallas, New Orleans MAVs

1403
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 3: were favored by two and a half on the road.

1404
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 3: This brought to you by bet MGM. Everybody knows that.

1405
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 3: Bye now and Dallas came through though, Like I said,

1406
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 3: I got a little over zenny. Yeah, over zealous is

1407
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 3: probably the right word. Well, like to get in there. Yeah,

1408
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 3: I just like, let's get it done. They were up

1409
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 3: twenty plus. It was like eight minutes ago. I'm like,

1410
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 3: they're not losing this, they're covering this. And then I

1411
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 3: was like, oh oh, but they pull it out in

1412
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 3: the end, Dallas gets to win. I'm ten and three.

1413
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 3: In February, Lee's nine and four because you had the

1414
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 3: MAVs tray six and seven. He needed that one. That

1415
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 3: was a good one for him, and Task swerved and

1416
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 3: took the pels and they came up a little short.

1417
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 3: So you fall to four and nine.

1418
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 2: Not good.

1419
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 3: And by the time we come back with games or

1420
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 3: like wow in February, yeah, short month.

1421
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 2: It's a short one. It's not a leap here.

1422
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 3: I want to helped you out. So yeah, right now

1423
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 3: ten and three, nine and four, and then six and

1424
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 3: seven and four and nine. But I'm still close enough

1425
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 3: to between Trey and Task to ultimately see who's last place.

1426
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: You don't want to be last place, because then you

1427
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 3: gotta do the pick and payoff and it might be

1428
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 3: wearing a dog shot collar on the show like I

1429
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 3: did earlier this week. Go check that video up on

1430
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 3: our Nodungs YouTube. Okay, let's wrap up this Drop podcast

1431
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 3: with some rapid fire fun. Jady. You got the questions

1432
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 3: this week, and we got the answers I do.

1433
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, yes, yes, we're all good. We're all good here. Okay.

1434
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Last week we were treated to a Super Bowl commercial

1435
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: featuring present day Lebron talking to a young Lebron circa

1436
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, twenty oh three, two thousand and three,

1437
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: that anywhere, Yeah, three, I guess he was talking to

1438
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: himself in two thousand and three. What advice would you

1439
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: have for the two thousand and three version of yourself?

1440
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: Tasks? Two thousand and three. That was two years after

1441
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: I bought season seats with my buddies for the Toronto Raptors.

1442
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: We were up there in the nosebleeds. We saw Vince

1443
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 2: Carter's going to the playoffsh Yeah, we can put some

1444
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: money down. I think I think he literally had to.

1445
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 2: It was it fifty or five hundred we put down Anyways,

1446
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 2: I think it was fifty fifty bucks to put down. Yeah,

1447
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 2: I mean the seats were the seats were cheap. It

1448
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: wasn't making money. I was spending twenty five dollars a ticket.

1449
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 2: I was only getting ten tickets, only a two hundred

1450
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars investment. Anyway, I would tell myself, then,

1451
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: don't go back, son, Oh, don't go back. You've got

1452
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 2: another decade. Just don't renew those tickets. You've got another decade,

1453
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 2: another decade of abysmal play. You've seen the best that

1454
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 2: you will see before you moved to Atlanta in twenty thirteen.

1455
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 2: I won't tell myself that because that would change. That's

1456
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 2: a butterfly effect. But I would just say, don't, don't

1457
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 2: do it. Because they went to the playoffs, saw them

1458
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: against the Sixers, saw them against the New and then

1459
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 2: there was an invisible series against the Pistons the next season.

1460
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 2: But that's it they picked. So yeah, don't do it.

1461
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 5: Really Yeah, Well, after the two thousand Olympics were in Sydney,

1462
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 5: but I was in Greece and I missed them. I said,

1463
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 5: I'm definitely going to Athens in two thousand and four,

1464
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 5: and that's it. I'm going to the Olympics. But instead

1465
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 5: what I should have done is gone to India. Because

1466
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 5: Australia went to play cricket in India and won for

1467
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 5: the first time in forever. And I should have said

1468
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 5: to myself, wait for Beijing. You're gonna want to go

1469
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 5: to Beijing for the Olympics to see you see in

1470
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 5: bolt smash records in the hundreds and the two hundred

1471
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 5: only I was showing up saying week through, Yeah, man,

1472
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 5: don't go to India because now you know, you're married,

1473
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 5: You've got a couple of kids.

1474
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 6: It's that India trip is now deep in the in

1475
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 6: the radar. I could have gone, no kids, no, you know, wife,

1476
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 6: that would have.

1477
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 5: Been the time to go and Australia one. So now

1478
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 5: I can't go back and have that monumental moment either.

1479
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 5: It's like it's happened already. So skip Athens, go to India.

1480
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: And then dare you You can't go India.

1481
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 6: It's not the distance, it's yeah, you know, I.

1482
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 3: Was talking you've seen the complications with kids, maybe with kids.

1483
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 5: And I was talking with one of my friends who

1484
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 5: went there for business. He's walking along and one of

1485
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 5: his friends just fell down like a hole in the rope.

1486
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 3: It's a cartoon.

1487
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 6: It sounds like yeah, and he's like it was crazy.

1488
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 5: We were just walking along and then there was just

1489
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 5: a hole that was kind of coming up and he

1490
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 5: went boom straight down.

1491
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 4: It was okay.

1492
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 6: I had to get him out. It took like a

1493
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 6: couple of hours to get him out.

1494
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like he fell down and it was like over

1495
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 5: his head and it's like, get me out, and they're like, hella, exactly.

1496
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 6: Imagine you walk along old hands crazy.

1497
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 8: That could happen in Athens for sure. Here it was

1498
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 8: a bad experience. It was a great Olympics.

1499
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 5: I just I would rather there was no you know,

1500
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 5: one hundred meters wasn't all that flashing Athens.

1501
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 6: No, Get to Beijing.

1502
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 2: That's where it really happened. That was that was the

1503
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 2: year for it was saying, right, that was his first

1504
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 2: in the two thousand and Night.

1505
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, Skeats, I promise Jade. I'm this is

1506
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 3: not a cop out because I didn't have an answer,

1507
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 3: but Tas alluded to it. I'm saying nothing. There's no

1508
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 3: way current Skeats is interacting back with O three Skeets

1509
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 3: because I'm worried about the butterfly effects any sort of thing,

1510
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 3: I say, any bet I would tell like, hey, buy

1511
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 3: apple stock or something like that. I don't know. The

1512
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 3: effects could be huge. We could not be doing the

1513
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 3: show for crying out loud. So I'm just not touching it.

1514
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 3: I'll just observe young Skeets from Afar.

1515
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 6: You thank him in a game of one on one?

1516
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't mind that?

1517
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, hell, yeah you think so.

1518
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

1519
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1520
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 3: That's a good question. Currently, forty one year old skats

1521
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 3: take twenty three year old Skeets in a game of

1522
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 3: one on one?

1523
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 6: Would you take me into the post? I mean he's

1524
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 6: probably a bit quicker than you.

1525
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Definitely, it's quicker than this. Yeh uh yeah, I'd have

1526
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 3: to just get the craftiness.

1527
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you think so.

1528
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: The experience thing, Yeah, wisdom plays into it for sure,

1529
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: all right. Next one, Charles Barkley is turning fifty nine

1530
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He'll be sixty one when his contract with

1531
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: TNT expires. Uh, and he said he's probably not coming

1532
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 1: back bummer.

1533
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 3: Quote.

1534
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 2: He says he didn't say quote.

1535

Speaker 1: I'm saying quote, I'll be sixty one when I finish

1536
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: out my contract. I don't want to die on TV.

1537
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,679
Speaker 1: I want to die on the golf course or somewhere fishing.

1538
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to be sitting next to fat ass

1539
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: old Shack and drop dead Tassie.

1540
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 2: Where do you want to die? Well? I hope, I

1541
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 2: hope Juckie doesn't retire. Yeah too soon, Jack, Come on,

1542
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 2: you're going to collect your Social Security man anyways, I

1543
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 2: hope he stays on. Where do I want to die?

1544
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: Tough question? Outdoors? I'll be closer to heaven. Don't have

1545
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 2: to go through a roof, you know what I mean?

1546
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: And I think, what's heavenly about outdoors? The Winter Classic

1547
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 2: Hockey Game? I want to be watching the Winter Classic

Speaker 2: Hockey Game, eating a fun dep probably, and if there

1549
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,719
Speaker 2: is no heaven, maybe they can put me at center

1550
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 2: ice and I can get hoovered up by the aliens.

1551
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm playing both sides.

1552
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 6: Here, unexpected and I love it. It was an unexpected question.

1553
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: I gotta go weird. We're running out of questions.

1554
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 3: I told this is one of the questions. She goes,

1555
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 3: you guys should maybe stop doing it.

1556
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 4: Where you want to die?

1557
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's all in good fun.

1558
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 2: Lily.

1559
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I didn't know.

1560
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 5: I didn't know how to answer this one, but so

1561
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 5: I thought, well, I've had a couple of close experiences,

1562
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 5: you know, like I had the guy in my room

1563
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 5: in Brazil, Like I mean I could have been murdered

1564
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,640
Speaker 5: then nearly drowned once, you know, I could have went

1565
01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 5: to India. Yeah, exactly, exactly, and that's kind of where

1566
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 5: I'm going.

1567
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:01,679
Speaker 6: I wanted to be something.

1568
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 5: I was once on a flight from London to Singapore

1569
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 5: and there was a girl sitting by the window a

1570
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 5: spare seat of then me, and she just said, it's

1571
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 5: a long flight, do you want to you want a tablet?

1572
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 6: And because she was pretty, I was like, yeah, sure,

1573
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 6: and I took it because she was freddy and I

1574
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 6: took it.

1575
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 5: And then it wasn't until halfway through the flight I

1576
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 5: was like, gosh, she could like maybe she was gonna

1577
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 5: drug me. And when we get to Singapore she was gonna, like,

1578
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 5: I don't know, do something to me, like steal my kidney.

1579
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 6: You hear about that kind of stuff, and it's hard.

1580
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 3: To carry a grown man from the plane stealers. When

1581
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 3: you said tablet, I thought you meant a first Yeah, we.

1582
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 6: Didn't have tablets back then.

1583
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 5: It was like she I think she said it was

1584
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,560
Speaker 5: a sleeping tablet, but I sort of I got so,

1585
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 5: I got so anxious after I took it, thinking like

1586
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 5: might die, and I was like, just you're not gonna,

1587
01:10:54,920 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 5: You're not gonna, you know, So I think, guys, how

1588
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 5: i'd like you to actually debays like he was just

1589
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 5: taking his sleeping table and he died on.

1590
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 3: His way to Singapore to take a dump in the airport.

1591
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 3: One last thing.

1592
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 6: So typically.

1593
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 2: The question is where do you want to die? Like,

1594
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 2: not how do you want to die?

1595
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 6: But somewhere over India somewhere.

1596
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: That's not a bad way to go.

1597
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 3: Skeates, Well, I mean, Chuck says he doesn't want to

1598
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 3: die on TV, but I want to die a podcast.

1599
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 3: I want to die right here in the classic factory,

1600
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, with the bright pink neon glowing lights of

1601
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 3: our sign the last thing I see, or maybe like

1602
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 3: a final embrace the day people as I, you know,

1603
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 3: go off to wherever the hell I'm going.

1604
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: That could have happened this week when with they just

1605
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 1: had to turn it up.

1606
01:11:58,160 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, It's true.

1607
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 3: I was very close to done. Yeah, right here, in

1608
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 3: the classic factory.

1609
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 4: All right.

1610
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Last one.

1611
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: This week, Lee told us he went deep while shopping

1612
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: for washing up gloves on Amazon. He dove right into

1613
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: those customer reviews to find a perfect pair. Great news,

1614
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: he loves them, and bonus it was Bogo buy one.

1615
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 2: Kept one task.

1616
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Tell us about a time your research really paid off.

1617
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's not a great answer. I bought a kayak recently.

1618
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 2: They were just they were inflated because of the shortage here.

1619
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 2: I thought about it, and that was suggested Inflavle. Kayaks

1620
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: are very durable. You know, the army uses them, so

1621
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 2: they are. But but you gotta have a nice wide

1622
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 2: wingspan because they are you know, the flanks are, they're bigger. Oh,

1623
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 2: you gotta go out, you gotta go. You can't turn

1624
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 2: us fast.

1625
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 4: Anyway.

1626
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 2: I bought a kayak, Okay, I like it nice, even

1627
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 2: though they're costly because of the supply chain. Right, but listen,

1628
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 2: don't blame that on our president. Okay, don't do that anyways.

1629
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 3: How much research did you.

1630
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 2: Do like I did for a while. Yeah, that was good.

1631
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean I was talking to guys who went out

1632
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 2: in some real rapids, saw some whales in the acts.

1633
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 4: Wow, but yeah, yeah, where there's rapids, there are whales

1634
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 4: now deep River.

1635
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 2: You know, the coast of Georgia.

1636
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 6: The what am I doing is.

1637
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 2: There's currently whales. Every every year whales come from go

1638
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 2: from Alaska to Maui. Yeah that's pretty far man vacation. Yeah, anyways,

1639
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 2: see you later, right. Yeah.

1640
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 5: So, you know, back in the old dyes as well,

1641
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 5: when we used to have to go to internet, you know,

1642
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,759
Speaker 5: before we all had it, only have phones and stuff.

1643
01:13:59,280 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 6: I had a big trip.

1644
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 5: I went to the Middle East, went to Syria and Lebanon,

1645
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 5: Jordan and Egypt, and it was you know, Egypt not

1646
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 5: so bad. A lot of people have been there, Lebanon

1647
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 5: one or two people. But Syria, you have not a

1648
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 5: lot of people been there. I was talking this guy

1649
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 5: one day said go to Syria. It's the greatest place.

1650
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 6: I was like, wow, Syriah not on my radar. I

1651
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 6: went to the old Lonely Planet Lemon Tree.

1652
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 5: That was the old like blog where you know, it's

1653
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 5: like a reddit, and man, I came out of that

1654
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 5: thinking like, people like this.

1655
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 6: Is the best place to go on visit. It's the

1656
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 6: greatest place. And I was skeptical.

1657
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 5: I was like, no way but the more I read

1658
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 5: it was legit reviews from travelers. Syria was one of

1659
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 5: the greatest places I've ever been through. It was also

1660
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 5: food was great, awesome people, tons of history, so much

1661
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 5: to see and do, and I was just shocking.

1662
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 6: It was great.

1663
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 5: Nowadays you just do it on your phone. But I

1664
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 5: had to go and I spent like two or three

1665
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 5: hours in the internet cap I just read ship No.

1666
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 6: Four quid an hour. Yeah, yeah it is.

1667
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: I only had the Lonely Planet Book when I was

1668
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: traveling around. Yeah, that's how Old Day went to the

1669
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: London party.

1670
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: Wow, Syria looks very good. All right, Skatsy, bring us home.

1671
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 3: I mean it's not as good as that. It's actually

1672
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 3: it's currently happening the research, and I think it's going

1673
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 3: to pay off. I don't want to jinx anything, but

1674
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 3: I'm looking for a treadmill. Okay, I want to get one,

1675
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 3: you know. Content I just I did just sign up

1676
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 3: for the YMCA to use their treadmill because I've got

1677
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 3: this whole program coming up here. I talked about a

1678
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 3: marathon I'm running later in the summer, so I need

1679
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 3: it to do speedwork and stuff like that, or I

1680
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 3: want it. But I've been looking into one. I asked

1681
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 3: you about your Peloton treadmill that you had, and I

1682
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 3: know there was some some some issues.

1683
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 4: Just leave it at that.

1684
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 3: So I'm looking at that. I'm looking at a bunch

1685
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 3: of other ones I ask people on Twitter. Anyway, I

1686
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 3: think it's paid off because I'm just taking my time

1687
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,799
