41
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: You already know I'm working on something.

00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: Oh wow, something tailored.

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got to get down to Dylan's and a

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: little New Year.

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got lots to talk about here today.

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a little true or false with some

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: of the news that we've gotten over the last twenty

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: four hours. But I thought we'd start with a little

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: what you got?

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: What you got?

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what you got, guys. Controversial finish in New Orleans

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: between the Jazz and the Pelicans last night, pells down

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: to they get the stop just seconds remaining, and instead

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: of calling a time out or or getting one at

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: least granted to them brandon Ingram. He drives to try

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to tie it at the buzzer, but Rudy Gobert denies

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: him at the rim. No foul call. Jazz win, Pelicans upset,

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: So let's get into it. Jazz Pelicans ending write no

59
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: call by the officials, or that was a foul?

60
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: What you got foul?

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: That was a foul? They missed that one. That was

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: a he was hacked on the arm, yes, that being said.

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: The referee saw a guy who was a little bit

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: out of control flying down the floor in brandon Ingram

65
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: and he was sort of under the rim, and so

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: it's a little bit understandable why they didn't make the

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: call because he was almost gone from the court. He

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: was sort of underneath the backboard. He had a hand

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: on Rudy Gobert as well. Rudy Gobert's defensive Player of

70
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: the Year got a call. But it was it was

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: hectic and he was a little bit out of control,

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: and so I think that goes against Ingram as he

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: was flying down he was. It was unlike a brandon

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: Ingram play because Ingram's always in control and slow dance,

75
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: slow goes at his own pace like Luca. But he's

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: kind of flailing even though he did get hacked in

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: the end. I thought he should pull up, but he

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: did his He did his thing, and he.

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: Did the right thing. He did the right thing by

80
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: going in to give himself an opportunity of perhaps scoring

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: or perhaps drawing a foul, and he drew foul. And

82
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: it wasn't cool. And to me, honestly, you know, you know,

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: it's hectic. As late in the game, that was pretty clear.

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: I thought, I thought, Gobert comes up, arms up, but

85
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: then his left arm comes across.

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: Look what di at Ingram's arm come up?

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: Well, Ingram's arm did come up, but.

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: Around I know who's pretty straight up?

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: He was.

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: But that's when I went and watched it back over

91
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 4: and over again, and Gobert does lower that arm down

92
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: and he.

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Does get him at the end on the wrist. Yes,

94
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: But Tass said too, there is Ingram wrapping them a

95
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: little bit, either trying to keep himself up or pulling

96
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: them towards.

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 4: I think that's a different a different story right there.

98
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: I think that the contact was there and it wasn't

99
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: sort of one of those hand part of the ball

100
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: things that was clear on his wrists. So I think

101
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: the referees missed that. They said after the game they

102
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: thought that we felt during life play that Rudy played

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: legal defense. Now I get that. I get that for sure,

104
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: because in the moment it's tough. But if you're not sure,

105
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: can they go back and check that no.

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Not on a no caof no.

107
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's where we get into this situation

108
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: of like, okay, we should an official just call everything,

109
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: because then they could, you know what I mean, Like,

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think a big part

111
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: of it it being Rudy Gobert. You know, have two

112
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: time Defensive Player of the Year. That helps the case

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: of the no call. There's just no doubt about it.

114
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: He's we know he's a great defender. He's got the reputation,

115
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: and if that's I don't know, ninety percent of other

116
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: players in the league, other bigs in the league, that's possibly.

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: If it's the exact same, that's probably being whistled. I

118
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: truly believe that.

119
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Definitely, you get the benefit of the doubt when you're

120
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: one of the better defenders out there, because when he's

121
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: running down the court and he gets his arms up,

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: it looks like he's going straight up for that part

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: of it. He definitely makes contact on the follow through

124
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: and when Ingram finally tries to get to the ball

125
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: to the hoop. But like Rudy Roy Hibbert when he

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 3: was like one of the best guys in the league,

127
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: he did such a great job of keeping his arms

128
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: up and he would jump into drivers all the time,

129
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: like his body would fly into guys. But since he's

130
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: staying up straight, since he had the reputation as a

131
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: great defender, you're not going to get the call, especially

132
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: in the last couple of seconds of the game. I

133
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: tend to fall on the side of let's not call

134
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: every single little tiny thing. I mean, if you're the Pelicans,

135
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: you're definitely upset about it. It was a good play,

136
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: but uh, you know, Rudy made a good contest Ingram

137
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: made a good play getting to the hoop. It went

138
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: the wrong way for the Pelicans.

139
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: There's something about this that you were like a little

140
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: You're sounds like you're honestly a little confused with like

141
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: what could be overturned? Yeah, they call it because like

142
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the Jazz left the court, they're like, we win, bye,

143
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: and then the Pelicans are going, hey, let's look at it,

144
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of confusion.

145
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: Yea.

146
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: Now the officials went to look at it, right, but

147
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: they were not looking ever at the idea of like

148
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: was it a foul and can we overturn it? No,

149
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: they were you know, they said they thought there might

150
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: be a clock malfunction of time left. Yeah, but you

151
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: know what to like piggyback off that. This is something

152
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: that drives me nuts because like, look, you know, I'd

153
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: like to think we're somewhat considered some basketball experts, so

154
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: at least we pretend to be. You know, even you're confused.

155
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: We're all confused what's the call? And this and this

156
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: makes it worse if you go to ESPN today. Okay

157
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: about this game about this incident. Within the ESPN article,

158
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: it says the referees reviewed to see if there was

159
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: time left on the clock after any possible clock malfunction.

160
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Once they determined that, because the rules prohibit them from

161
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: retroactively adding a foul in the situation, the game was

162
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: finished okay. But in the ESPN video caption on the

163
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: same DAMN article, it says Rudy Gobert forces a brandon

164
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: ingram missed to potentially tie the game, and after review

165
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: replay officials determined there was no foul on the play exactly.

166
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: That this is part of the problem that confuses people

167
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: because that reads to me like, oh, they oh, they

168
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: went and looked at it and they said there was

169
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: no foul. That's never what they were doing.

170
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: That was my point there is what are they looking

171
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: at then? And if they're looking at this time left

172
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: and then they can't then review what was a controversial call.

173
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 4: And what's going to get even worse is later on today,

174
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: I guarantee you're going to see the last tway minute report.

175
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: A fair should have been called. There's no way they

176
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: can say that that was legal defense because he whacks him, or.

177
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Will it say a time out should have been granted

178
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: because that was the other part, right, So they at

179
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: the stop the Pelicans do and you've seen it. I mean,

180
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: Gentry's calling for a timeout. Yeah, Lonzo Ball's calling for

181
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: a timeout. He's around half court, and JJ Ruddick is

182
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: calling for a timeout. Three guys call for a timeout

183
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and there wasn't one grants it. And then Ingram's going

184
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: the other way and gets a look at it, I mean,

185
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: gets a lay up and tries to get it by

186
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Rudy and gets fybe.

187
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: And maybe that's part of a factor with it too,

188
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: because the referees are running back, you know, they're trying

189
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: to get back down onto the other side of the

190
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: court because the Pelicans get a stop, they got to

191
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: transfer the whole side of it. So you got the

192
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: guy on the left baseline who gets there, but from

193
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: his angle, for sure, Rudy Gobert is going straight up.

194
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: He makes a great play. The other referee on the

195
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: other side, on the other sideline, on the sideline that

196
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: Ingram is on, he's not quite there, so he probably

197
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: doesn't see it. If Ingram doesn't try and wrap the

198
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: ball around, uh to get a cleaner look at it.

199
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: If he goes straight up into him, into Rudy. He

200
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: probably gets a foul call there as well. That's what

201
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: happens in the last couple of seconds of a game.

202
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: It's hectic out there.

203
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 4: It's very difficult even for the best defenders to keep

204
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 4: their arms straight up the entire time that someone comes

205
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: in as well. I mean you see often at the

206
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: end the hands will just kind of come over a

207
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 4: little bit. But Gobiz in this particular case, you know,

208
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty clear that he that he whacks him.

209
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: I think it's clear on some angles of the replay,

210
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think it is on others. I think

211
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the one above the backboard, I was like, I don't know,

212
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't really look like a foul there is that one.

213
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: No doubt that. It looks like he slaps his wrist.

214
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, and from the one above the backboard,

215
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: it kind of looks like he loses the ball.

216
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: Yes he does.

217
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And who knows if this thing would even

218
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: go in because he really didn't have control of the

219
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: ball and Rudy may or may not have contacted him

220
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: after the ball is loose. And yeah, we're analyzing this

221
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: hours after and it has to be said, it's just

222
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: so tough to call it live. Yes, it's just it's impossible. Actually,

223
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: that's why I.

224
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Sort of don't have a problem with the no call

225
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: when if you're just talking about live action that I

226
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: think it's a I think it's a fair no call.

227
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: The way who it is is, the defender, how he

228
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: defended him, and just the hecticness of it all. I'm

229
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: sort of with Tray, I guess towards that.

230
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why the Jazz played it super smart

231
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: by as soon as it happened, and you could tell

232
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 3: it was controversial. See you we're going to the locker room.

233
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: You'll never get us.

234
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: Out of here.

235
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: Ingram having a great game, having great season, he wanted

236
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: he wanted that chance to get to the free throw line.

237
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: Iype for lady shooting eighty percent on the season, righty

238
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: six percent on the season, like he wanted that chance.

239
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: Trying to dunk on him.

240
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: It was funny seeing all the Jazz players run off

241
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: the court like they should.

242
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: Holding the two up too. You see, if the Jazz

243
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: are doing this for any time Rudy Gobert does something good,

244
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: they hold up a two for a two.

245
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 2: Time defensive player. Yeah.

246
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: Nice, they were all doing it if you watch the

247
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: clib Yeah.

248
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll be holding up a one later on this

249
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: season when he gets to the All Star Game for

250
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: the first time, because he wants he wants to get

251
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: there real bad. Uh and uh. The Joe Ingles was

252
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: actually had to he stayed on the court and he

253
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: was interviewed after the game and he was asked, why

254
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: didn't you go back to the locker room, and he said,

255
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: I was trying to go back to the locker room.

256
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: They kept me here for some reason. I didn't want

257
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: to be here. Uh. You know, you brought up all

258
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: the rules and all the stipulation is about what can

259
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: we challenge and all that not to be an up

260
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: to sports fan. But sports fans don't want to read.

261
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: They don't want to read a caption. They don't want

262
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: to read rules. They just want to watch sports. And

263
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: I get it, and we all should know the rules.

264
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: I guess it, but I don't know. We've been doing

265
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: this for a long time, We've been NBA fans for

266
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: a long time, and we still don't know. Still like

267
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: the intricacies of every single rule, it's just not it's

268
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: not ingrained in US for some reason.

269
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: Well, because they can sort of change and they bring and.

270
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: Some of them, question is different. Yeah, but it's even

271
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: some of them that have been there forever. We're just

272
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: like we always travel.

273
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a look. I'm sure New Orleans fans are upset.

274
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: They've got just coming off the Saints loss and the

275
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: Pelicans got got robbed out of a you know another

276
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: you know no call. I guess earlier this season. I

277
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: think it was against the Nets. Hell they're getting the

278
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: short end of the stick out.

279
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: It's actually a good what you got worst no call?

280
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram and Rudy Gobert or Kyle Rudolph pushing off

281
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: on the game winning touchdown, Oh woh should have been

282
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: an offensive pass interference if you ask me, those arms

283
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: were extended.

284
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: You thought we were done talking, you were wraw.

285
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: I thought Kyle Rudolph's knows got in the way of things.

286
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: It is, yeahs Honker, I was gonna say it was

287
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: ironic this game ended with like a defensive play, when

288
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: in fact it was the jazz Is worst defensive game

289
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: of the season. I mean, yeah, but a lot of

290
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: points obviously being a pretty good, solid defensive team to

291
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: the Pelicans. It was a high scoring affair. Bugdanovich. One

292
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: of the weirder lines you're ever going to see. Goes

293
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: for thirty five points. He was huge in shooting the

294
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: ball and then goose eggs the rest of the way

295
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: until you get the turnovers, I mean zeros in rebounds, assists, steals,

296
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: and blocks. Might be the first time to put up

297
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: that many points and have those zeros since like Alan

298
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: Houston did it. That's a weird line. It twice now.

299
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's amazing that you just like in thirty three

300
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: minutes the bull just wouldn't fall into your hands.

301
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: For something even like, yeah, it's a that's one of

302
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: the weirder lines you're gonna see. This takes me back.

303
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Did you see perfectly? Was it against the I don't know, no, no, no, no,

304
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: all right, our next one. I love this one. Nastier

305
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: moment from last night in the NBA Trey's handles versus

306
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: the Nuggets or dwell Embad's dislocated finger. Nastier moment what

307
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: you got.

308
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: You guys know, I love a disgusting injury. I'm not

309
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: grossed out by a finger like Joellen Beads at all.

310
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 3: I love seeing something flopping around like that, knowing that

311
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a weird finger for the rest of

312
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: his life. So I guess I will go with Trey

313
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: Young's handles. The little I guess it was a behind

314
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: the back path that he turned into it between the

315
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: legs from back to front, froze blood different Morris and

316
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: yeah that was that was smooth. And then the easy lamp,

317
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, give me Tray's handles.

318
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: Yeah that that Joel and bid one. It looked almost

319
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: worse than we've seen of dislocated ones. Away. It was

320
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: pointing out the fact that he went it back out

321
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: and played, you know, like.

322
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: I taped it up and yeah, yeah they I guess

323
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: they checked the X rays very quickly. It wasn't broken.

324
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's always when you see a you know,

325
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: a ligament or or finger or something like that just

326
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: pointing in a completely opposite direction.

327
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: It was someone I thought maybe it was a black trade.

328
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I think tweeted it looked like he was holding a cigar.

329
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like so true.

330
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: Look at that one clip, like, why is he playing

331
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: with a holding a cigar out there? That that was

332
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: pretty gross. Yeah, I mean he's back he could miss.

333
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: He's saying he could miss Thursday's game against the Celtics

334
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: after this dislocation. He said he was in a lot

335
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: of pain, and I bet they won the game. It

336
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: was our pick up game. We'll maybe get to that later,

337
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: but he was he was like basically saying, I couldn't

338
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: hold the ball. I couldn't rebound all that well, which

339
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: is the big reason why he said Adams was getting

340
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: all these huge numbers against them. Pretty gross. But Tray's

341
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: was nasty too. I mean, yo kitchen as well. Yeah,

342
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: that one Trey's talking about was pretty pretty sick. Where

343
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you go?

344
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: That was great. He not megged Nicol Yokich earlier in

345
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: the game. Then he nut megged himself going between his

346
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: own legs and then scoring on that pass, scoring on

347
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: that buck and then giving Michael Porter Junior a little

348
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: pat on the bottom because their buddies on that play

349
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: and that.

350
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: So that was cool.

351
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: You know, they they're drafted the same time, so there

352
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: there are buds. Yeah, double nutmeg. I think, uh gets

353
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: it to me for over m B T beat is

354
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: really odd that. Yeah, he came back out, but then

355
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: he's questionable for Thursday. Kind of weird.

356
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that's painful a lot of swelling.

357
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: Has anyone dislocated a finger to that extreme?

358
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, we got my little, tiny crooked one

359
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: and it was honestly driving me crazy and now it's

360
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: just a hump. So yeah, not not anything gross like

361
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: a Ronnie Lott.

362
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: I got a couple of broken fingers, but never yeah,

363
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 4: this one.

364
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Lee is showing off is h yeah. Oh yeah,

365
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you got some crazy digits, bro.

366
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, well this one the middle.

367
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: You showed me your two middle fingers for the flipping.

368
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: This one. I remember. I went to the doctor like

369
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: after about a month because the swelling hadn't gone down.

370
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 4: He said, well, yeah, you broke it, but I just

371
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: never thought I did. And he said, well, do some rehab,

372
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: like some you know, like things like this with an orange. Yeah,

373
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 4: And I just like, nah, be all right, I ever

374
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 4: go down And I never did. Cool story, bro.

375
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: I asked.

376
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: I had to google it. After speaking of pick on

377
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: paials we're doing today, I had to google after a

378
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: last picking paoff how to get rid of a fat

379
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: knuckle because I banged my this knuckle off the rim

380
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: and it's still it's still fat. It's still bugging the

381
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: heck out of me. Yeah, you just got to work

382
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: it out. Just massage out those blood vessels. Sez do

383
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: go away.

384
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty gross. By the way, that Nuggets Hawks game.

385
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about Ice Trade doing the stuff

386
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: he did in that game. But you'll monster monster line

387
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: forty seven points career high for him. He got the

388
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: little boy zero turnovers according to Elias. I don't know

389
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: this off the top of my head. According to Elias,

390
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Jokic third center with forty five points and zero turnovers

391
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: in a game since Shaquille and Nel. Yeah he was.

392
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: And Moses Malone also did it. The forty five points

393
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: and then no turnovers. So yo, kicch like, look, the

394
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: Jazz got the win. They're sort of rolling here again.

395
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Nuggets got the win, you know, an entertaining game versus

396
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: the Hawks, but they're also rolling here. So both those

397
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: two teams that we had high hopes for at the

398
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, they struggle a little bit. They're

399
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: playing catch up with the Lakers and Clippers. They're they're

400
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: playing a lot better here now as we have reached

401
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: the new year and into twenty twenty.

402
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Nuggets got beat by double digits on Saturday nights,

403
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: I guess. So they had started the road trip off

404
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: one and two, so they're they're angry. They needed a

405
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: w and Nikola Jokic went out, and usually the Hawks

406
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: would start John Collins on the other side of him

407
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: at center, but they decided to with Bruno Fernando the

408
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: rook uh just because he's bigger, and he didn't guard

409
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: Yokic at all in that first half, and Jogic was

410
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: just open at the three point line, and Jokic took

411
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: those shots and was banging them home. And I assume

412
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 2: that Bruno Fernando didn't play in the second half, but

413
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: maybe he got out there for a minute, but he

414
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: he wasn't playing very well. Forty seven points.

415
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 4: I found the Ellen Houston game he did. Yeah, it's

416
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 4: against the new the Knicks against the Minnesota Timble was

417
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 4: back in two thousand.

418
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: There you go.

419
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 3: You gotta throw some more in the mix. Two other

420
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: guys ever, had thirty points with the goose eggs on

421
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 3: rebound's assistance steals. Actually, I'll throw one of them out.

422
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: There's only one other guy, and this George Gervin did it,

423
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: but he had one block. This other guy had zero

424
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: other stats. Dantley, No, this is a man you've met,

425
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: You've shook his hand, you saw most of his career,

426
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: he'd been in a bus with him.

427
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: Grant you hear his voice Smith every week.

428
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 3: Eumably in the NBA score.

429
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Regie very Allan Houston Like, that's right, that makes sense.

430
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Final one here, guys, a couple shocking road losses last night.

431
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: The number one team in the NBA lost by twenty

432
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: two points in San Antonio, and the No Chemis Celtics

433
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: they came up short in the Nation's capital, losing by

434
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: five to the Wizards. So I'm asking you a more

435
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: surprising loss from last night, Bucks in San Antonio or

436
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Celtics in Washington. What you got?

437
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: It has to be the Celtics for me, the San

438
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 4: Antonio Spurs are not a bad team. The Wizards had

439
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: guys out there who no one's ever heard of playing.

440
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you listened to the podcast yesterday.

441
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: Well, yes, there's a couple of those names.

442
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: But they were chanting MVP for is.

443
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 3: Smith is on fire right now.

444
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: He had twenty seven points in the game, fourteen in

445
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: the final period, a stretch they were hit ten in

446
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: a row.

447
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: In the last quarter. He was great closing out. You

448
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: sort of felt in that game the Celtics, I know

449
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: you mentioned they're missing Kimi Walker, but at some point

450
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 4: they were just gonna, yeah, take the game away from

451
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 4: the Wizards. But the Wizards have been playing all right. Later,

452
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 4: they beat the Nuggets, they've beaten the Heat. I think

453
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 4: this is a classic case of look at the Wizards

454
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: and go, oh man, not even Beal's playing for them.

455
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 4: All right, we got off.

456
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: Not even Bill. They were missing, I mean six of

457
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: their best players, because like no Wall, no Beal, no

458
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: Rui Hachimura, no Thomas Bryant, no Thamas Burton's and then

459
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: no Mo Wagner. That's like like they're all stars, they're starters,

460
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: they're leading subs.

461
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: Like and Garrison Matthews new shooter got hurt as well.

462
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: Even Garrison ish Smith is the new James Harden drible

463
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: DRIVELL drive drive drill drivell score. But he yeah, he

464
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: came off a thirty five point career height night on Saturday,

465
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: and I scored twenty seven yesterday. A little guy. Little

466
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: guys are making things happen in this game. Isaiah Thomas

467
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: also had a good game. Is Smith had a good game.

468
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: Jordan mccraig got those shots up. Never a concern with then.

469
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: You know he's gonna shoot twenty four attempts only eight makes.

470
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: But when you're a team that is missing a whole

471
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: bunch of pe layers, guys gotta shoot. So it's good

472
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: to go out there and just play free. The Wizards,

473
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: they're fun to watch right now. That's why to me,

474
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: it's more of a surprise that the Bucks lost to

475
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 3: the It's their first loss to a team under five hundred.

476
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: You say the Spurs aren't bad, but they're kind of

477
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: bad this year.

478
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, not great, No, they are. But there was

479
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: also a measure of revenge there because they lost last

480
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: week to the Bucks and the Spurs got hot from downtown.

481
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, nineteen three pointers season high for the Spurs. Yeah,

482
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: but I think it is that Milwaukee lost just be

483
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, it being twenty two points. Because on the

484
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: one hand, the Wizards, you said it, they've been playing

485
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: well despite all the injuries. They'd picked up wins over Miami, Denver,

486
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and Boston. Now, you know, in these past five outings,

487
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: you're right, probably a big part of that is team's

488
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: looking at who the hell's across from them going, well,

489
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: this will be an easy win. They're scrappy. And then

490
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: but this Bucks won their largest margin of defeat, losing

491
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: by twenty two sins game one of last season's Eastern

492
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Conference semifinals versus the Celtics. It's quite the spread there.

493
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: And then they talked I let you know, Budenholzer and

494
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: Joannis talking about it after the game, like we're gonna

495
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: use this to learn from this. It's nice. You know,

496
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: the coaches love this when you're a good team and

497
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: you're you're killing the rest of the league, you know

498
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: which like booting Holzer loves it because he's like, oh now,

499
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: now when I talk to them in practice or whatever,

500
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna a little listen a little bit more. This

501
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: was eye opening for us.

502
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: I got a little worried in the light in the

503
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 4: third quarter in Patty Meals kind of undressed Robin Lopez

504
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 4: and trained to three in his face. We know Robin

505
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: doesn't like to get shown up. I want to see

506
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: raging Lopez out there, raging Robbin.

507
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: But it's a bit of a badge of honor for

508
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: the Bucks because they were the last team to lose

509
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: to a sub five hundred team this season, going twenty

510
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: and oh to start the year, and that just shows how,

511
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: you know, how set and ready they are every single night.

512
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: That's a a tough team to beat period.

513
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: The Lakers, that streak's gone for them.

514
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: Taking care of Lakers are twenty and oh. Against teams

515
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: below five hundred, Bucks are twenty three and one.

516
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 4: Oh.

517
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so they had more wins.

518
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: I got you.

519
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's weird. I had the stat roh. Yeah, oh

520
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: my god, I wonder.

521
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: If those things changed, Like, yes, Spurs end up over

522
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: five hundred at the end of the year, this loss

523
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: goes away.

524
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: No, their record at the time. Yeah, I believe, at.

525
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 4: Least I think that's right.

526
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, stats, but just you know, the perfect you know,

527
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: you looked at the schedule last night and you go, eh,

528
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: it wasn't outside of really the thunder Sixers game. There

529
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: didn't seem to be like a juicy looking game by

530
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: any means in terms of two sort of teams rolling

531
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: playing well, not that the Sixers were rolling, I mean

532
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: they snapped, they're losing streak, but two good teams, I guess.

533
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: But then you have these results, you know, you just

534
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: never know you had a great entertaining Nuggets Hawks game.

535
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: So you gotta watch the games, guys, you gotta watch

536
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the games.

537
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: I mean, Michael Fools had a career night last night.

538
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: He did. It's a great point. Yeah, he's he is

539
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: having a very solid little season here. It's it's being

540
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: in Orlando, absolutely perfect. Talked about it at the time,

541
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: the perfect spot to go because no one's paying really

542
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: any attention. That's probably good for a guy like him

543
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: that could maybe get in his head a little too

544
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: much when you have the bad outing and then suddenly

545
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: there's a million articles in a million podcasts saying, oh, oh,

546
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: he's a bust, throwing there with Anthony Bennett he's a bust. No, instead,

547
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: he has twenty five and you're right, barely even a

548
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: whisper about it. And that's probably for the best. All Right,

549
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: lots more to get to here on the show, But first, guys,

550
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: go back to football. The second week of the playoffs

551
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: is upon us. The bad news is that there's only

552
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: a few more weeks left in the football season. But

553
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: the good news is you can still get your fantasy

554
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: fix with DraftKings, the leader in One Day Fantasy football,

555
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,120

Speaker 4: One million dollars.

00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: It's right, learly, we didn't even rehearse that. Draft your

559
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: lineup and feel the sweat like never before. Every run, throw,

560

576
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: this is probably the part where I say the disclaimer

577
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: like super super fast. Let's say it minimum five dollars

578

Speaker 1: through at eligibility restrictions apply. See draftkicks on comfort details.

580
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean that was as fast as I could do it.

581
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: Well done, all right? True or false? According to Mark Stein,

582
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings are among the teams that have tried

583
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: to engage the Lakers in Kyle Kuzma trade talks. The

584
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Kings know they would have to include bogged down Bogdanovic

585
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: in any deal, but the athletic Sam Amic says the

586
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: Kings are unlikely to be interested in a right up swap.

587
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: The King's value, Boge's versatility, are comfortable with his restricted

588
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: free agency, and while they're winless without him, so he's

589
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: maybe important to their team. But sure or false? Guys,

590
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Kuzma for Bogie is a fair deal in theory? Sure

591
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: or false?

592
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 2: Definitely false false? Okay, bogdan is the better player. Yeah,

593
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: and maybe because Kyle Kuzma plays in Los Angeles, he

594
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: has got more hype around him. So yes, if you

595
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: check out the tweets, Kuzma is the better basketball player.

596
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Bog Dan can create off the bounce, create

597
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: for others. That's not Kuzma can't do that. Bogdan is there,

598
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: can be a point guard, he can create shot and

599
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: he is creates his own shot. Kuzma's good, solid and

600
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: can be a contributor. But you know, other people have

601
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: to contribute or create for him, but he hasn't. Kusma

602
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: hasn't been able to show everything he's got this season.

603
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: Then that's clear. He had a better year last year

604
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: and he needs to go somewhere most likely, you know

605
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: it depending if you know when Lebron retires or something.

606
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: Maybe he can do it in LA, but I'm sure

607
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: he wants to go somewhere so he can get paid

608
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 2: because he's at twelve points per game off the bench.

609
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 2: He's not gonna get paid what he what he's worth

610
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: because he is a solid player. But Bogdan is probably

611
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: underrated because he plays with the Kings.

612
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I definitely agree with you. I

613
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: like bugd On, but Kuzma is three years younger than that.

614
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: Is that coming to play at all or doesn't sway.

615
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: I think Kuzma is what Kuzma is, and that's fine.

616
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: So what is he He's a one dimensional player that's

617
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: not even that great.

618
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, that is the thing is that six

619
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 3: man seems like the role for Kyle Kuzma. Come in,

620
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: score a bunch of points, paul A boy on Bogdanovic

621
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 3: net thirty five and don't do anything else. The other

622
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: thing with Bogdan Bogdanovic, though, I feel like you see

623
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 3: him play in Foeba and you're expecting a lot more

624
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: come into the NBA. You know, pr wise, they're about

625
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 3: the same. H Kuzma can score a little bit better,

626
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: but bogdn does a lot more stuff. Yeah, like you're saying, tass.

627
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: He can run an offense, he can be the secondary creator,

628
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 3: he can create shots for other guys. But it looks

629
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: like he could still be unleashed a little bit. I

630
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: would love to see him playing with the Lakers. You

631
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: can understand why the Lakers would be into Bogdanovich over Kuzma,

632
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: just because he does offer a little bit of versatility.

633
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: But if the Lakers can get a Kuzma to buy

634
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 3: into being the six man and figure it out, he

635
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 3: could excel there.

636
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: I do I do agree Bogdanovitch is being underutilized in

637
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: Sacramento because he's coming off the bench because they have

638
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: too many guys in front of him, and that could

639
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: be something that his agent decides, well, we got to

640
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 2: go somewhere else. I mean, you guys have too many

641
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 2: players playing in front of us, and maybe that bodes

642
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: well even for a Lakers. Maybe we can grab this

643
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: guy from another team because he is being underutilized and

644
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: and steal him, because yeah, I don't think he's feeback

645
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: quite Feeba bogged down.

646
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 4: But that's what he's certainly living off to some extent.

647
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: He had a very very good tournament because a year ago,

648
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: I think it would have been much closer in the

649
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: comparison between.

650
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: These Kuzma was also having a much better yeah.

651
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 4: Exactly, and Kuzma is definitely having a rough season right now,

652
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: so it's close. But yeah, I would rather have both Doneovich.

653
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: I think he does offer a little bit more. But

654
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: if I'm the Kings, I wouldn't make that move. I

655
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 4: would wait and see what happens in the off season.

656
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: You've got no incentive really to trade him. You've got

657
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: other guys, as you mentioned there, They've got a lot

658
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: of players in that position. See what the market is

659
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 4: and then decide from there.

660
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: Well, right, and could this be the classic case of

661
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, staying again first reporting this the Lakers trying

662
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: to drive up the price on Kyle Kuzma, saying, right,

663
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: you know there's like this type of guy that we

664
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: look for. It's it's definitely in play. Sacktown Royalty, you know,

665
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: the Diehard King site they said trading Bogie for Kuzma

666
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: would cause riots. Yes, probably fair. You know, it really

667
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: does depend a little bit on what Vladi and the

668
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: Kings think they're going to do with the restricted free

669
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: agency of Bogie hero Like, I guess if they don't

670
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: see any sort of agreement where they would sign them

671
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: and keep them because they got Fox and Buddy Healed,

672
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: then yeah, they're going to try and get you would

673
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: try and get something for them. But again sam Emick saying, no,

674
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: they're comfortable with him, how un agency? Yeah, right.

675
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: The bigger problem is they've got a guy like Ariza

676
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: who could he could literally take the spot of Trevor

677
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: Reza and play with Fox and play with and uh Bagley.

678
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that would be the perfect fit. But they've

679
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: signed all the oldies and they're taking up his minutes,

680
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: and that's the problem.

681
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: If the Kings did anything like this and got Kuzma

682
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: back in, I mean they'd have to move. They got

683
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: to move. They have so many bigs like or like

684
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: those wing type bigs, Like you'd have to move a

685
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Barns or a Belitz or I mean, I know, dead

686
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: Men probably or Harry Jiell. Like there's a lot of guys.

687
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Probably not badly, of course, but there's just too many

688
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: guys there. Wouldn't I just wouldn't see the minutes there.

689
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Marx and Kevin Pelton, they think the Lakers with

690
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: Kuzma should put a should make a move for Robert

691
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: Covington if possible. That should be like their option a.

692
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: Marx was calling it in a trade target, as a

693
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: trade target like a package of Kuzma cousins and cook.

694
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Would that be enough to entice the Timberwolves. Covet two

695
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: would make sense.

696
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: No, But I feel like we always get to a

697
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: point where Lebron teams where he will be complaining we

698
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: need another playmaker. We need somebody else who can take

699
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 3: the load off my shoulders. Maybe that is Rondo. Maybe

700
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 3: he uh turns it around a little bit. Maybe they

701
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: do bring in Darren Collison and that's the guy. But Covington,

702
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: it would be a perfect slide him in and fit.

703
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 3: But he's not getting shots for anybody. He's finishing shots.

704
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: He's playing defense, which is fits in on a Lebron team,

705
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: but he always wants somebody else who can do something.

706
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, yeah, you're right about needing another playmaker.

707
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just assuming it's going to be Darren

708
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: Collison and that will that will help them out. And

709
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: then I think, well, what else do they need? Kuzma Again,

710
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: he's pretty one dimensional. He's not even that great at

711
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: that skill right now. I would think the Lakers, you know,

712
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: Polinka looking at playoff series or like, we need another

713
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: wing defender, so we need a Covington, or we need

714
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: a Crowder, or we need like we need someone like

715
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: that to put on a Kawhi or maybe even a

716
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: honest if we were to make the finals, like just

717
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: give me some a defensive guy that can hopefully hit

718
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: like a corner three or something like that too. But

719
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: we will see. It'll be interesting. I think the I

720
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: just think the discussion around Kalle Kuzma is so interesting,

721
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: like like where you think he falls in the NBA

722
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: spectrum of being a good player, because it's, uh, it

723
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: seems very wide. Some people think he's not good at all.

724
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: Some people think, oh, that's that's an All Star still

725
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: in the making. It's just fascinating to me where you

726
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: sort of your opinion on him.

727
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: He played his draft position as well as a late

728
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: first round draft pick, the fact that he is a

729
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: rotation player, he is going to be playing for ten

730
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: years or something like that. You know, he is a

731
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: good player. So it definitely feels like, man, this guy

732
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: could have been a top five pick, is what it

733
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: seemed like two seasons ago. Right, So he's he's getting

734
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: the LA bump, He's getting the draft bump.

735
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: I mean, he played for Team USA until he got injured.

736
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 4: Like I know, that was a third or fourth team

737
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: by the time he got there, but they obviously felt

738
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 4: that he had something to wafflep yeah on that team.

739
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, and he did he.

740
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's his season got off to a

741
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: rough start, and I think it's fair to use the

742
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: injury as an excuse. Of course, mixed in with the

743
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: whole Oh, now Anthony Davis is here, and hey, now

744
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: you're coming off the bench too. Yeah, it's a whole

745
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: different role. But I just I guess I don't really

746
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: know how I feel about him. I don't know, well, like,

747
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: is he is he gonna be like the third best

748
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: player on a good team, or is he better suited

749
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: as a bench.

750
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: To come off the bench and fire away. I mean

751
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: that that's how he started his career, just just coming

752
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: off and shooting, and it worked. But things have changed

753
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 4: quickly for him for the situation and the role. But

754
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 4: I think I think he's young enough that he's still

755
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 4: worth taking a flyer on for someone and seeing what

756
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 4: he can offer you and seeing if he can adapt

757
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 4: his game and become some sort of a creator for

758
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 4: others or for himself. Oh yeah, than just a shooter.

759
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

760
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: We I mean we talked about it briefly yesterday. That

761
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: whole idea, like if this whole thing with Kuzmas trainer

762
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: has pissed off Lebron, you know Lebron father says goodbye,

763
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: it's a kiss of death. Get him out of here,

764
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: then you're I'm with you. You know, smart teams, young

765
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: teams building for the future should try and snag him

766
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: if he can. I threw itut the Grizzlies yesterday. There's

767
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: many other teams like, yeah, I'm not saying he's a

768
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: bus by any means get them.

769
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: Because remember the Lakers as well, wouldn't include him in

770
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 4: that trade last season.

771
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, is that is it? They wouldn't Perkins didn't want him,

772
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: and they wanted Ball and Ingram a lot more. That's

773
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: that's their spin on it. But they could be very

774
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: easily David Griffin and the Pelicans saying we don't want him,

775
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: We'd rather the other guys. Thanks, right, It's possible.

776
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: It's possible. But it felt like he was the one

777
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 4: player that Lakers weren't going to give up ball, Ingram

778
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 4: and Kuzma, And it felt like it felt like at

779
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 4: the time when the first trade request came out, that

780
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 4: the Lakers, like, you're not getting all of them, will

781
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: give you those two we want to keep.

782
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: Caught Lebron's just playing us, just says whatever he wants

783
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: out there, we buy it. Sure, we'll chew it.

784
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: Up next one. Blake Griffin is reportedly considering undergoing season

785
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: ending knee surgery. This news broke basically right after we

786
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: recorded yesterday show. According to Chris Hanes, Yahoo Sports. He's

787
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: going to see a specialist this week in LA to

788
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: weigh his options. The All NBA power forward he was

789
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: All NBA last year, missed the first ten games of

790
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: the season, and he hasn't played yet in twenty twenty. Here,

791
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: he's having a brutal, brutal year. He's averaged fifteen points,

792
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: fifteen and half points per game. Has a lot left

793
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: on that deal two years, seventy six million. I'm coming

794
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: at this from a weird way, but trure false. The

795
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: Clippers won the Blake Griffin trade.

796
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 2: True, you bet you yeah, yeah, yeah, Clippers ultimately, Yes,

797
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: it turned into several different things.

798
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 4: A good tweet came actually from Ryan Snelling's Every Clipper blog. Yeah, like,

799
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 4: and he's laid it out here what they've got in return?

800
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: All right, hear me with it?

801
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 4: Okay, Gilgas, Alexander Landry, Shamatt Zubats, Wilson, Chandler, and Jamichael

802
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: Green expiring deals, as well as Garrett Semple first round

803
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: picked from Philly, first round from Miami, two second rounds

804
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 4: plus cap space. That's because of the extra deals from

805
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 4: there in the in the summer that went on that

806
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 4: allowed that to happen. Because of trading for Blake Griffin.

807
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: But they've won the last two years since they've traded

808
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: him too. I mean, they've weren't sure they won the future,

809
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: but they've also won the past already. They were able

810
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: to start the rebuild two years earlier, the same thing

811
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: that the Pistons are doing two years later. Now they may,

812
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 2: but you know, the Pistons made a lateral move because

813
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: Blake has some emepower, but they just didn't get any results. Really,

814
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: both franchises really had the same results since the trade.

815
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: They went to one playoff round they lost. Maybe even

816
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: the Clippers was better because they took the Warriors to

817
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: six games and the Clippers didn't have to pay Blake.

818
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: They they won. They won in the management from the

819
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 2: management perspective.

820
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: Allow me to support the Detroit dudes. All the Detroit

821
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: dudes wanted was to go back to the playoffs, and

822
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin put the team on his back, got him

823
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: to the playoffs and then missed the playoffs. Ye so yeah,

824
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: and he's probably gonna be missing a lot more time.

825
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 3: And they still owe him a lot of money for

826
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 3: a lot of years. And now it looks like tanks

827
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: for the memories Blake. We got four games in the playoffs,

828
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 3: much appreciated.

829
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: Man, We're always going to have that one year where

830
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: the Pistons were semi exciting because of your right, what year?

831
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean that year where Blake last year he was

832
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, because we talked about forever like they

833
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: were the most depressing team, the Pistons to me, like

834
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: they just were never exciting. I would couldn't care less

835
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: to watch them play. And Blake comes and it was

836
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: like he was great. I mean it was like twenty

837
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: four and eight and the five assists and is this

838
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: the three?

839
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: Is this the best basketball Blake Griffin? He was great.

840
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: And so that was at least fun for a second.

841
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: And then you're now they're just honestly, they're right back

842
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: to being that very very and I know they've looked there.

843
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: They're getting excited about some of the young guys they

844
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: got Seku and I guess people are you're still excited

845
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: about Lukennard as a player, and okay, but truthfully, they

846
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: are right back to square one. And that's why you

847
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: gotta look, they're gonna be making this move. They're gonna

848
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: be trading Andre Drummond. We're gonna be doing an emergency

849
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: podcast about it, and uh, they got to just rebuild

850
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: for the future, and unfortunately you're gonna have to keep

851
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: Lake here and just hope he gets healthy again.

852
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then when they might try to remember Stam

853
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 4: Van Gundy at the time said like, we have to

854
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: try for a star name because they don't come here

855
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 4: through free agency.

856
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, they had a brand new barn Ye trying

857
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: to get people out.

858
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 4: And and Blake held up his end of the bogain

859
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 4: in that in that first year by by performing to

860
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 4: an ale NBA level, but his there was the risk

861
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 4: there that his body was gonna let him down, and

862
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: it ultimately looks like it's going to again.

863
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 3: Good news for the Pistons. They got all their first

864
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 3: round picks. Who they're gonna get some more. They're gonna

865
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: try Andre Drummond and maybe Reggie Jackson won't be around anymore.

866
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: That just helps.

867
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: Bad news for the Pistons. They have all their first

868
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: round picks.

869
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 3: The draft catch.

870
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: Twenty Yeah, Yeah, they're not knocking it out.

871
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: They're not knocking it out of the party unless.

872
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: Doomboo yeah hits them, hits a jack with along with

873
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson, they go back to back jacks, back to

874
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: back to back.

875
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: All right, final one here, guys, the twenty twenty NBA

876
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: Dunk Contest field is starting to take shape here. The

877
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Athletics Cham's reported on Monday that Dwight Howard has agreed

878
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: to participate in the competition for the fourth time in

879
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: his career. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that three other

880
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Dunk Contest invites, by the sounds of it, had been

881
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: sent to Derek Jones Junior, who's apparently Game Grizzlies rookie

882
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: John Morant, who is mulling his decision, and two time

883
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: dunk champ Zach Levigne, who is quote more likely to

884
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: participate if he makes the East All Star Game. That

885
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: last nugget comes by way of ESPN's Eric Woodyard. So

886
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 1: truor false? You're excited for the twenty twenty Dunk Contest

887
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: with what? You know? These reports with Dwight in there

888
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: sounds like Derek Jones Jr. Maybe some of these other

889
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: guys true, true, true.

890
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 4: Dwight Howard is fun in dunk contests. He brings some

891
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 4: sort of gimmick and some sort of fun to it.

892
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 4: You know, he's going to get what.

893
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: People ended up hating was that Dwight kept on bringing

894
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 3: out different costumes.

895
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 4: The bottom We need we need something because you know,

896
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 4: with all due to respect last year's winner, how would

897
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 4: you yea, it is not the most memorable.

898
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: Nice So you're not even getting an invite this year.

899
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I don't need you back.

900
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: No, that's an interesting question.

901
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 2: I think they're going to increase the numbers.

902
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: So do I. I've been saying it for a while.

903
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: I think it's going to go to six, and yeah,

904
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm upset if they don't. If you if you win

905
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: a Dunk contest, you should. Honestly, I think it got

906
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: a chance to defend it. I don't care if you're

907
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 1: Diallo or if you're Dwight Howard like Jones, I just

908
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: think you should. He also wasn't bad. I mean the

909
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: guy wasn't dunk. I mean not doing layups like he's

910
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Daryl Armstrong out there.

911
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: The thing about the thing about d what though, at

912
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 4: this stage of his career wanting to come back into

913
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 4: what you think, He's not just going to turn up

914
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: and mail it in. He's going to try to do

915
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: something that entertains the fan.

916
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is going to be some sort of

917
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: gimmick dunk where I think his Lakers teammates will come

918
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 2: out there, and I think that'll be the best part

919
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: about it. Lebron will probably run be running behind him

920
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: along with Alex Caruso or something to that effect. Or

921
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,479
Speaker 2: they do a vultron dunk and and that and that's

922
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: that'll look great, but it won't be the best dunk.

923
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say if he can still dunk on the

924
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 4: twelve foot rims like you did.

925
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 3: Just have him do all the same dunks again?

926
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not?

927
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 3: Fred Jones was not invited back.

928
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: That's tough. Yeah, the Raptor clean.

929
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: Maybe he declined.

930
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I guess they could.

931
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 3: I'll say false for now. I'm not excited yet. I

932
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 3: don't like Zach Lavine holding the dunk contest hostage, Okay,

933
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 3: saying I'm going in the three point contest. Literally, nobody

934
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 3: wants to see you in the three point contest. Zach Levine. Oh,

935
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: he's made a lot of threes. He's shooting over forty percent.

936
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: He's also saying I'll go in it if you put

937
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: me in the All Star Game. I think coaches are

938
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 3: like oh man, oh man, Zack Lavine will go in

939
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 3: the dunk contest. I gotta put him in the All

940
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: Star Game. I mean he'll be he'll be on the

941
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 3: border line because he's scoring a whole bunch of points

942
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 3: and the Bulls are making that playoff push. But just

943
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 3: say yes, yeah, I need you, buddy.

944
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't like this using this whole idea.

945
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: And he's not the first to do it. I mean

946
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan, I think has done it in the past,

947
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: this idea of like, oh yeah, maybe I'll do it

948
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: because I'll be there, but only if you get me

949
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: there as an I'm not a fan. That's come on.

950
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: Especially it's in Chicago too. Yeah, it's in Chicago. Zach.

951
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: You haven't had a great year, your team has it.

952
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: You give him something to get excited about, give us something.

953
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: I wish he was just like, yeah, I'm going in,

954
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: let's do it.

955
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. You see the four names, Dwight Howard, Zach Lavine,

956
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: Derek Jones Junior, Joamoran. It looks great, it does look good.

957
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 3: But the two that you're least interested in right now

958
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 3: I think are Dwight Howard and Derrick Jones Junior. Those

959
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: are the guys who are for sure, and so we

960
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: got to get those other two to say yes.

961
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 4: I went Derek Jones to finally put in a good performance.

962
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: I think I'm excited because he was in seventeen. He

963
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: look first time, there's nerves, there is there is a

964
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: dance to win in this thing or being good in

965
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: this thing. I think reps help and that one time

966
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: one win. But I think I I have high hopes

967
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: for Derrek Jones Junior because of him being in it.

968
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: Then he was injured there last I guess he was

969
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: injured there the one year that he couldn't go back in.

970
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: But I'm excited he's gonna actually who knows the real field,

971
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be one of my favorites to win it.

972
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: I think he'll having that experience will help him. But

973
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I don't know about Dwight. Does he still

974
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: have that like elite level athleticism. I mean, that's a

975
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: long time ago he was in this. Like I know

976
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: he can still dung. Yeah you're wrong, yeah, yeah, but

977
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: like but he's full nine was the last time he

978
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: was in this.

979
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 4: Man, he's feeling great, he's playing well. He's gonna have

980
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: the short. Sure, what's going He's gonna have the wild hair.

981
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are gonna be like, Yeah, the household name

982
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: part of Dwight definitely helps pique interest. There's no doubt

983
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: about that, at least maybe the casual fan.

984
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: This is going to be the closest we have to

985
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: Lebron James entering a slam dunk contest because he's going

986
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 2: to be out there doing something with Dwighton.

987
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: I think I think they do something with Dwight. Put

988
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: money on that he's not.

989
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: I think the whole squad is going to be Caruso

990
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 2: doing something. Let's throw that in air quotes doing something.

991
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 2: He'll be on the court, running, jumping around for Dwight Howard.

992
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna do something together. This squad is doing together.

993
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: You see Alex Carusso throwing dark, you see Dwight Howard

994
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 2: jumping around. The entire team's doing it. Yeah. I think

995
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: he'll be out there doing it. I think Lebron will

996
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 2: get invited to the All Star Game, so he'll be

997
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: there on Saturday night. And I do sympathize with Zach

998
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: Lavine to some degree because he doesn't want to be

999
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: known as a dunker, you know, like a lot of guys,

1000
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: but he's not making the All Star team.

1001
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: It's it's just unlikely.

1002
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 2: It's unlikely.

1003
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 3: And what's so bad about being known as a dunker?

1004
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 3: Is it so bad to be known as the greatest

1005
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 3: dunker of the two thousands?

1006
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 2: No, not bad.

1007
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 3: I think I think it's a badass.

1008
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 4: I think people like it when they're young, but then

1009
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 4: they want to be known for more than just that.

1010
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 4: And that's why his ac should go in the three

1011
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 4: point shootout. No one's ever won both. This is his chance.

1012
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 4: He's shooting thirty nine percent, he's not well, that's fine,

1013
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 4: No did Yeah, But it's not like he's you know,

1014
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 4: he's out there shooting twenty six percent or anything like.

1015
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: He's a good he's a decent three point shooter. At home,

1016
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 4: he'll dress up be great.

1017
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: In his uniform. ADA should tell him if you want

1018
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 3: in the three point contest, if you want in the

1019
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: All Star Game, do the dunk contest. That's what we

1020
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 3: want you there for. Well, we'll throw a bone. You

1021
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 3: can do the other ones too.

1022
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: Ja Morant, I really truly hope he does go in it.

1023
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: I think there's no doubt he's a pretty incredible dunker.

1024
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: He'd be a good one. And as the rookie of

1025
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: your favorite, I'd like to see Zion Williamson make his

1026
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: return to the FBA in the twenty twenty Dunk Contest.

1027
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: That would be amazing.

1028
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 4: He comes back and then he's out for the rest.

1029
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. And I really I do hope

1030
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: we get this to six dunkers because I think Dyella

1031
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: should be there and I'd like, I don't mind the

1032
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: four guys we got in the mix. Who know who

1033
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: knows who that six would be? Aaron Gordon, I remember

1034
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: early in the season was talking about running it back

1035
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: and giving it another He'll be in there. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Uh,

1036
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: but let's hear from you. Guys are excited for the

1037
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty dunk Contest. You know that thing you're talking

1038
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: about test the the Caruso dunk and you have the

1039
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: Lakers trailing behind them and they do the jump. I

1040
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: love that.

1041
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 2: I am.

1042
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: I am so in on this like dunk development over

1043
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, whatever you want to call it,

1044
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: where I guess you've you've seen it in like high

1045
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: school games or whatever.

1046
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 2: Mix.

1047
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 3: Thank you to Lebron for having a high school age son,

1048
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: that's why this is happening in the I love it.

1049
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about, of course, is someone goes

1050
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: up to throw down the dunk, and everyone else on

1051
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: the team, being on the bench, fans, whatever, they all

1052
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: jump in unison.

1053
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 4: Hm.

1054
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: I think it looks so god damn awesome and I

1055
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: want somebody. I mean, you're saying the Lakers, maybe we'll

1056
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: do it with a Dwight. Someone take it to the

1057
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: next level, like I don't know how you would do it,

1058
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: but try and get everybody to do it, like use

1059
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: it in your dunk arsenal, like either bring out like

1060
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: fifty kids or something like from a school or something like.

1061
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: It just looks awesome. I don't even care what the

1062
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: dunk is, gonna be a little basic dunk in the world,

1063
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: it still looks cool. Somebody should have that.

1064
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 3: I like the idea of the super dunk, but you

1065
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 3: gotta have you gotta have a cool dunk.

1066
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 4: It's a dunk dunk.

1067
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 2: Now, with Dwight, there's not gonna be much from Douat.

1068
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a pretty basically.

1069
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: Think he's just gonna be doing posts had created dunks,

1070
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 3: be wicked dunk contest pass he's.

1071
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 2: Got a sort of horizontal and do something somewhat cool.

1072
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: But you know it's not gonna be John Morant or.

1073
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: He is definitely going to bring back the Superman right

1074
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: like that Superman returns.

1075
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: Really, I think he's trying to wash away to pass.

1076
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 4: What is bringing out Knight Robinson and dunk over Night Robinson.

1077
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: Remember, yeah, super impressive.

1078
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: I got one of the smallest guys in league history.

1079
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna jum over. Another thing to get excited about, though,

1083
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 1: Good point.

1084
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 3: I feel like once the dunk contest is in the ether,

1096
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: from that Warriors Kings game. Let's have a listen.

1097
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 5: Omen just big Deer and Fox and spiraling Geeks. Time

1098
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 5: it on the tech, give it back to Bowman to

1099
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 5: lay it up in.

1100
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: Apples Man, that's a four on one? Has the Warriors

1101
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: they missed.

1102
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 5: Any part of the game post rewind that last sequence

1103
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 5: the Tacob bevage with another steal, the Fox with a

1104
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 5: race steal.

1105
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 4: What is.

1106
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: The layup?

1107
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, oh no is right?

1108
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: What is happening?

1109
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: That was a King's turnover Warriors. In transition, Bowman blows

1110
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: the four on one fast break lay up, Warriors miss

1111
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: an offensive rebound tip, Kings nearly throw it away. In transition,

1112
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: Fox sort of settles it down for a second. Bolitsa

1113
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: turns it over trying to throw the ball into the post.

1114
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: Warriors give it right back on a Fox steel, but

1115
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 1: then Fox misses a layup. Finally he grabs the rebound

1116
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: note and gets fouled. Not a great little sequence there

1117
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: from Warriors Kings. It was lit, though, As at GSW Chris,

1118
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: I love at your man divine tweeting. Also, when the

1119
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: commentator says, what is happening? You know the game is

1120
00:48:53,280 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: producing some restaurant quality lasagna from Dandavine give him a

1121
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: hug for that one. But just a while while, little

1122
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: sequence there, and that gets my tweet of the night.

1123
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 3: I imagine it was indicative of the quality of the game, because,

1124
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: like Task knows, like David Allen Greer knows, there are

1125
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: these ten minute recaps of the games on YouTube. I

1126
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: was not tuning into the Warriors last night, so I

1127
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 3: thought I got to catch up. I got to do

1128
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: my due diligence. Yep, couldn't make it through a ten

1129
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: minute recap. Ooh brutal.

1130
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors missed something like seventeen threes to

1131
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: start the game. It was it was not pretty. Kings.

1132
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: Kings crushed them for the second time this season. All right,

1133
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: pick them. Results presented by cash App.

Speaker 3: gonna send you money for gas, but you tell them

1138
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: not to. But then that friend sends you cash even

1139
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 3: though you told him not to, and then you can't

1140
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 3: figure out how to cancel the transfer, so you have

1141
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: to send the money back. But then that gives your

1142
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,399
Speaker 3: friend a chance to send it back, which means you

1161
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: favored by seven and a half. We thought that was

1162
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: a little weird. But Vegas was oh so close. They

1163
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: got the seven point win. But Okac covers, just covers.

1164

Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Akers are at home to the New

1169
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:20,359

1170
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: the line? What do you guys think next? Visiting the Lakers.

1171
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: Got to be big.

1172
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 4: Nis have been good, like Mike Hill has done them.

1173
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: No.

1174
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 2: Ten and a half, eleven and a half, thirteen and

1175
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 2: a half. Wow, that's a third game of a four

1176
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 2: game trip for the Knicks. They've lost to the Suns

1177
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: by eight, Clippers by three on that Sunday Day game,

1178
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: and here they go. Didn't have to.

1179
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: Travel, No, no, But you've been in LA for well

1180
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: a couple of nights. You've gotten up too much fun.

1181
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, did you do any research on this one?

1182
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: Against the spread? Man?

1183
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Knicks are great against the spread on the road. Okay,

1184
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 3: they've been playing well since Mike Miller took over. Yeah,

1185
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 3: it's a big bite from the big Apple. Give me

1186
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 3: the Knicks to cover whoa whoa.

1187
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 2: Who take the mL take that money line, take the

1188
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 2: money light.

1189
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: We'll give you two wins and no just kidding, all right.

1190
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: The Lakers are rolling too.

1191
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're not. They're not sort of blowing items out.

1192
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,280
Speaker 2: Five straight. They beat the Blazers by eight, mass by thirteen,

1193
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 2: Sons by ten, Pels by ten Kiston's by seven.

1194
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 4: Oh, take the Lakers, Ben, I don't like it. I

1195
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 4: don't like it. Fourteen points is just because because the

1196
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 4: thing is, they can be up twenty with four minutes

1197
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 4: to go, and they emptied their bench and then.

1198
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 5: It's Laker dambly, dambling man.

1199
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 3: I gotta risk it.

1200
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm a gambling man, ask for God, go ahead?

1201
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: Are you on?

1202
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 2: I don't know either, Give me the Knicks.

1203
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, guys, I don't know the Nicks.

1204
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: That seems a little too big. Lakers are gonna probably

1205
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: we win the game, but it's could be one of

1206
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 1: those weird ones. Again. I go back to back pickups

1207
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: where it's like been within half a point of the line,

1208
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: so maybe another one.

1209
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the line is actually the whole number the

1210
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 2: seven yesterday, but we add a half so we don't know.

1211
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 2: We don't push, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, no pushes around here.

1212
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: Okay, so leave taking the Lakers to cover big gotta

1213
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: win by fourteen or more, everybody else taking the Knicks,

1214
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: and some of us even taking the Nicks money. Live

1215
