1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Best ball player I ever saw, Richie Decuccio at Monsignor

2
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: McDougall had a great bounce pass. He could bounce the

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: ball anywhere you want. Best player I ever saw, and

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: his brother was even better. Dice Murphy used to shake

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: dice while he played ball, and never seen anything like it.

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Best poor player I ever seen. Back in those days,

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you weren't allowed to dribble between the legs. If you did,

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: you had to say a Hail Mary. He jumped up

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: and he ate the net. He ate the whole net

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: in one bite. He played at Saint Keith, He played

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: at Bleeding Martyrs. He played at All Lady of the Furniture.

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: He played at PS one, two, three, four, five, six,

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: seven eight. He played at Our Lady of Seasonal Depression.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: Herschel Rodriguez at Saint Agnes School for Jewish Puerto Ricans.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: Johnny's Tsunami. He used to be a surfer, but he

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: learned how to snowboard Johnny Cage Shang's song Noob Saibot.

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: There was Sweet Peaches Robinson. He would have been better

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: than Juliu's serving, but he killed a guy with an

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: ironing boyd.

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: the games, and let's start with one that our guy

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: TK was at last night, Drew holiday Lopez helping the

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: Bucks hold off the Hawks one fourteen, one oh five.

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: Our slack channel was buzzing last night.

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: Oh it.

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: When the Bucks were up what they get it up to?

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: Twenty four, twenty four, the biggest lead.

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're asking Trey, are you staying?

59
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 3: Are you leaving?

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Like what's the plan here? This is a big, big lead.

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: And and then we didn't hear from you. You went

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: radio silent, and the Hawks come back, they tie this

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: thing up, and I'm like left wondering, is he there?

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: Did he leave?

65
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: Well?

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: What happened?

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Christian and Scooby were the halftime act.

68
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: Oh nice, And when Christian released Scooby from his holding

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: pen I transported back to the nineteen nineties. My phone died,

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: I had no access to any other scores or statistics,

71
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: and I was sitting two seats down from John concac.

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: It was wild times at the Fortress. Honestly, an ultra

73
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: weird game. Like we said, the Bucks got up twenty

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: four and then they went ice cold in the second half.

75
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: It looked like they just wanted to shoot jumpers. After

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: shooting twelve for twenty four from three in the first

77
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: half of the game, in the second half, they went

78
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: six of twenty four from three. I went and checked

79
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: the tracking data. Every one of their attempts was open

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: or wide open. They were getting great looks and they

81
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: just could not make them until they finally started making

82
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: them right at the end of the fourth quarter, just

83
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: like Drew Holliday has been doing recently, plays an odd

84
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: game through the first three quarters, gets hot in the

85
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: fourth to carry the Bucks over the line. I know,

86
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: Ziggy and the stream team has said nothing is easy

87
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: with the Bucks, and that turns out to be the case.

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 3: But so many weird things happened in this one. Big

89
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: g only seven points. Yeah, didn't score the last eighteen

90
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: minutes Jannisna Toakompo had the first basket of the game.

91
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: Then he scored five points the next forty seven minutes.

92
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's in a little bit of a

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 4: everybody else you do it for now. I think he's

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: in one of those ten assists in this game. This

95
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: is just just going through a little spell where he's

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: bumping and crashing and scoring forty each in every game.

97
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: I think he's just in one of those modes. He's

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: you know, he can do it whenever he wants. I

99
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: think he's just he just knows at the end, I'm

100
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: gonna need my perimeter guy. So he's in the past mode.

101
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: He had a highlight rebound in this game, had a

102
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: highlight rebounds, tweeting to you and John Schumann, who I

103
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: know also loved those sickle highlight rebounds. That was huge

104
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: rebound in traffic that was kicked out then to the

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: corner there that was a big time. But you're right, Test,

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: he can do it anytime he wants to. I didn't

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: look like he wanted to. The Hawks were doing a

108
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: good job of making him see bodies. It was like

109
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: a five team on Giannis every time he went into

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: the lane.

111
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: So he wasn't super interested in scoring.

112
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: No, no Clint Cappelle either, No Clint Capella either.

113
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: Like it just Jannis was in distribution mode last night.

114
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: Milwaukee only forty two points in the paint, only eleven

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: total free throws. That's just weird for a Bucks team.

116
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: Also weird, this was the Frank Kaminski game. Yeah, thirteen points,

117
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: three threes a plus thirteen. The Hawks bench was awesome

118
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: at the end of the third quarter, going into the

119
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, just turning over the Bucks time and time again.

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: And then there was just a lot of weird stuff

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: happening around the arena. On the Kiss camp, we had

122
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: multiple people going tongue out lick. Oh that dude, Yeah,

123
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: I gotta say it, big tongue.

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: I had one of the biggest tongues I've.

125
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: Ever seen, the monster tongue. That was wild the new

126
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: Gene Simmons. I was like, hey, if you got it,

127
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: if you got it, flawed Gene Simmons, You're right, that

128
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: was wild man.

129
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: That wasn't even the craziest thing on kiss camp, right, yeah,

130
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: go ahead. I saw this tweet come up without the

131
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: kiss scam video about the tongue suckers.

132
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: All the tongues were out, big tongue night.

133
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: And then Harry snatched a wig.

134
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah that was you think that was a bit? I

135
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: was a bit. I'm not convinced it was a bit.

136
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: That's how good it was that.

137
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Try because I was taking note

138
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: of it. I saw the bit. So Harry, yeah, like

139
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: kisses a woman beside him in front row court side.

140
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: This was the first part of the video, right, No,

141
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: it's right at the end, right.

142
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 3: At the end. It was in the bit section.

143
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bit section.

144
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: And uh.

145
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: And then when he pulls away from his giant kiss

146
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: with his giant beak.

147
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: Her hair comes off like her and course, yeah, And.

148
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: The guy stands up behind them and is like pointing

149
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: that that was the giveaway to me, way too dramatic.

150
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: And then it then like crashed out of course to

151
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: the actual in arena, and I'm looking, I'm like, where's Harry,

152
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: where's Harry? Is he sitting court side?

153
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't see him. I think they got you with

154
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: a bit. I got swindled by a bit. I'm usually

155
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 3: onto the bits. Ye must be a new one. I

156
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: feel like, yeah, and see if you can tell it's

157
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: an old Hawks bit because they'll have an old jersey

158
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: on there. You can't get rid of those great bits.

159
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we got people on the inside we can find out.

160
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: Okay, right, all right, let's let's get to the bottom.

161
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: Or was that a bit? And then there were a

162
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: couple of funny music things as well. You know they

163
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: have often on a jumbo tron. If you're sitting in

164
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: this row, you win tickets to a concert. Like I

165
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: was sitting in a row at a Bulls game. One

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: tickets to a Lala to Losa show. Didn't go. That's

167
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: twelve hours away. I mean that's yeah, that was pretty win. Yeah.

168
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like pizza, yeah, you know, and sometimes like

169
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: last night at the Hawks, it was tickets to a

170
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Barry Manilo concert. But Barry Manilo hits twenty twenty three

171
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: coming to State Farm soon. It was excited. Leo is

172
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: probably yeah, tickets for sure. Then the last little bit

173
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: of weirdness they were doing, name that tune up up

174
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: on the JumboTron. No, two guys guessing rap songs. They

175
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: played Hustling by Ross. These guys had no clue what

176
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: the song was. I was like, man, that's sad that

177
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: they don't know that. Then I looked it up. Hustling

178
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: came out in two thousand and six. I didn't realize

179
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: it was that old of a song. But the thing

180
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: that made it worse. Rick Ross was in attendance. That's

181
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: gonna hurry was sitting court sight. He's like, that's my

182
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: biggest hit, my debut single, and these youngsters have no idea.

183
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: He needs to drop it again. I think, yeah, little

184
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: tiny remix exactly Hustling twenty twenty three with Barry Manilow.

185
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: I love this.

186
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: This is my favorite segment on No Dunk's Tales from

187
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: the Fortressils. One of those goes down and we talk

188
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: a little bit about the game, but all the other stuff.

189
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: Did you did you get to shake a pauw?

190
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: Did you? Did you say hi to Scooby or Christian? Uh? No?

191
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: I like I said, I didn't. I didn't know they

192
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: were going to be there. Yeah, and then I was

193
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: Christian and Scooby. I was excited. Then my phone died

194
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: so I couldn't communicate with anybody.

195
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess it was a nationally televised game by ESPN,

196
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: so they bring out the big guns.

197
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: Christian Scooby one of.

198
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: The best and John Concact what a name drop. It

199
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: was kind of a tale of two halves for me

200
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 4: personally at home home happy that I didn't go in

201
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 4: the first half because I was because I actually I

202
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: applied for media credential, got one, had a parking pass.

203
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: Oh you were set.

204
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: That was set. But decided to go out with my

205
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 4: wife for dinner instead. I'm leaving her this weekend with

206
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: two children. I thought, this is the trade off you

207
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: have to trade off. Don't we have a wonderful relationship,

208
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 4: do it? Do I need to do something just prior

209
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: to going away for the weekend. I felt like I did,

210
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: so I did that instead, but got home, saw the

211
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: blow it was happening. It was pretty pumped. Then second

212
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 4: half comes back, so set. The place was absolutely rocking.

213
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: There are there are a handful of moments when that

214
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: arena has been rocking. This season hasn't been the same,

215
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 4: It just has. But right at the end you mentioned

216
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: there Joanni's grabbing that eighteenth rebound. I think that was

217
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: his last one. There one to twenty left over John

218
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 4: Collins where he just scrapped and got it. So it's

219
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: not like he wasn't trying in this game, but he

220
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: definitely was eighteen yeah, tennisists and eighteen boards to go

221
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: along with seven points. I do think it was his

222
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: first double double without points to get to ten in

223
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 4: his NBA career, and that was one of the best

224
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: boards of the season. I am oh, just just going

225
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: over John Collins, passing out to Jamhn Carter and then

226
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 4: sealing the deal. We talked yesterday about John Collins potentially

227
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: going to the Brooklyn Nets, that there's this rumor out

228
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: there that they would trade Roy O'Neil, Joe Harris a

229
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 4: couple first round picks for John Collins. The Nets need

230
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 4: a true big man, and if they go small with

231
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: John Collins, I could see this being a Nets type

232
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: move we've seen in the past couple of years. They

233
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: try Blake Griffin, they try la Marcus Aldriche at the

234
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: center spot. I think they legitimately need insurance for Nick

235
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: Klaxon because if you do something like this, if you

236
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: do something like a big man who's not a real

237
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 4: big man in John Collins, I think these type of

238
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: things would happen in the playoffs.

239
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: It's just it.

240
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: Doesn't make sense.

241
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: What about Clint Capella Then sure, Yeah, that's the type

242
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: of big you're looking for. I know I can't stay healthy,

243
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: which is unfortunate, but yeah, that's the sort of backup

244
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: big you're looking for.

245
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know, take care of the board.

246
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, it would cost less. I mean it would

247
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: be ideal if he could shoot threes. This this this

248
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: make believe big man here, I want it all. Well,

249
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 4: you know a big man, there's there's there's guys out

250
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: there who can just shoot threes and play defense. John

251
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 4: Calls is an incredible offense player, would raise their level

252
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: of offensive talent. Yeah, but that's not what the Nets

253
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: really need. They need they need d and they need height.

254
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

255
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Nets fans were not really all that on board with

256
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: that hypothetical Hawks Nets trade Hawks fans were definitely more like,

257
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: we would do that for John Collins, Yeah, Royce, O'Neil,

258
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: cam Thomas, Joe Harris to make money work there, who

259
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: would probably play in our rotation a couple of picks.

260
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, maybe doesn't happen. I always in a game

261
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: like this where the team is down big, like twenty four,

262
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: like you said, and then they come back, and a

263
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: lot of it was the comeback because of Frank the

264
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: tank because of Johnson off the bench, Bogdanovic off the bench,

265
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: you know, Griffin again, I think that's always got to

266
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: be a difficult decision for a coach to make. Like

267
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: our bench brought us back their energy and impaired with

268
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: the Bucks just missing a lot of open threes. But

269
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: we're back in this game because of them, because of

270
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: their hustle. But now I do have to like go

271
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: back to my starters. I guess to like try and

272
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: finish it off, but you also want to reward the

273
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: guy's got you there, But then they're may be tired,

274
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: you know. I always think that would be a tough

275
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: decision for me, and I think probably for coaches out there,

276
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: Like what do we do just keep running with these

277
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: guys they gave us a chance, or do you have

278
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: to like go with your starters and say, Okay, they

279
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: gave you a chance, Now go do what your damn job.

280
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: Is, right, Yeah, And I think you saw, like Frank

281
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: the tank got a little bit of a taste there

282
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: in the last couple of minutes of the fourth quarter

283
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: as well, because he was instrumental in the comeback at

284
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: the end of the third and fourth quarter. But you know,

285
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: if you're a bench player playing a long stretch. You

286
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: gotta get a little bit of a rest. But there

287
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: were times when when Nate McMillan was able to bring

288
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 3: Frank back in and so, yeah, I don't know, not

289
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: an impressive game, I didn't think from a conglue. So

290
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: rolling with Frank the Tank for a little bit there, Uh,

291
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: probably nobody else was as happy as I was. Frank

292
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: the Tank fall. Were you doing this? And no? No,

293
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: I was there on press, so it was just yeah, yes, yes,

294
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: well well just looking down at well at uh at John.

295
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: Why.

296
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: Honestly, there were so many times I wanted to say

297
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 3: to him, he looks like a young John Concast.

298
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 4: I don't know what you would have liked it. I

299
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 4: think so too.

300
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: Gave me a shoulder pad on the way out. Oh

301
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: that's nice. Well, I think just for letting him by.

302
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: You don't think he knew you.

303
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: Just be courteous. He's like, thanks for not saying that

304
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: about Frank the Tank young me. It's like, is that

305
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: I can't.

306
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 4: Tell him that?

307
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 2: Really, I'm really recking that one in my brain. All right,

308
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 2: let's keep it going here. Some other games. Jellen Brunson, R. J.

309
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: Barrett coming back helped the Knicks hold off the Pacers

310
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: one nineteen one thirteen, And some unfortunate news for the

311
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: Pacers in this and their fans. Haliburton left in the

312
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: third quarter. When he went down, it went down hard

313
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: and sort of hurt his elbow and his knee, and

314
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: then he was seeing task using crutches after the game,

315
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: and Rick Carlo is basically like he's not gonna play

316
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: in the next two games probably, and we'll wait to

317
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: see how severe this is. Hopefully it's nothing serious, because god,

318
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: guy's having an unbelievable season. We think, I know Wally'szrbak

319
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: doesn't want to hear this, but we think he might

320
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: be an All Star who knows me starts or not,

321
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: but probably an All Star reserve. But anyway, Nick's held

322
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: on at the end, they had a massive lead and

323
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: the Pacers came back. They were up twenty five.

324
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, without a guy who seems to be

325
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: sort of everybody's golden boy this season. Tyrese Haliburton And

326
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: hopefully it's not serious. And I say hopefully, but also

327
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,359
Speaker 4: it felt like it wasn't serious. It seemed like precautionary

328
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: that the crutches were out there. Rick Carlisle implied that

329
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: it wasn't serious, but they're going to be cautious here.

330
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: Wild to see the Pacers come back in this game

331
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: from twenty five to almost squeak out the victory. And

332
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: it was in the last minute. There was funny stuff

333
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: going on in Atlanta. There's funny stuff going on in New York.

334
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: Quentin grind came in after not playing the entire fourth quarter.

335
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: He left the game about a minute left in the

336
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: third quarter. It was like real time, about thirty five

337
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: minutes that he said. Comes in with a one minute left,

338
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: the Knicks up three. Buddy Heeled shoots, tries to get

339
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: a foul call, which was a bad move, and he's

340
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: complaining they didn't get the foul call. Pacers aren't getting back.

341
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: They have a breakdown. Don't get back at all. Quinton

342
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: Grimes is leaking out. Just came back in the game.

343
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: He's right beside the rim. They throw it up to him.

344
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: Literally could have put it off the board.

345
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: And it yeah like a one.

346
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 4: Foot shot that any any person who's ever picked up

347
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: a basketball can probably shoot. He passes out with about

348
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: forty five seconds left.

349
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: He's thinking kill more clock for sure, but I guess

350
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: they take the two points.

351
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 4: But like we're going to get to Zach Levine a

352
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 4: little bit later on. Did he know time and score?

353
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure. He definitely definitely want to kill time,

354
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: but it was two points. But this is why I

355
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: love Quinton Grimes. He knows his shots. He stepped out

356
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 4: beyond the three point line, got the ball back a

357
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: little later in the possession. Yeah, he hits it.

358
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: He's like, why score two and I'm gonna hit three

359
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: later and kill way more time.

360
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 4: Thank you, listen. I love him, And maybe he made

361
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: a mental mistake there. I'm not one hundred percent certain

362
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 4: of whatever happened. He just it's all about the chemistry

363
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: with this team, and this guy, who maybe not the

364
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: most talented dude in the world, can't take everybody off

365
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: at dribble, just knows his role so perfectly. Fred Katz

366
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: The Athletic has a great article about Quentin Grimes and

367
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: how he is the master of beating closeouts, how he

368
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: goes past closeouts on offense. There's stats on it, man,

369
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: there are stats on Quinton Rhymes and how he can

370
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 4: feel out a close out and go right by guy.

371
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: He just knows that he doesn't. He just doesn't play

372
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: one on one and and that's why he's good. And

373
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: that's why. And he plays defense on the other end,

374
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: And in an instance where he could have a two

375
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: foot open shot, he says, Nope, not part of my

376
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: shot profile. I'm going out to the three point line.

377
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 4: He shoots threes, he goes bye, guys, He plays hard

378
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: d defence, and the Pacers probably came back because Quentin

379
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: Grimes wasn't on the floor. I'll just say that anyway.

380
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 4: They win the game, and a wild one that was.

381
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: That was a weird one.

382
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: But you got to subscribe to the Athletic at the

383
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 3: athletic dot com slash no dunks because cats got stats.

384
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: Great piece from Fred Katz and Seth part now about

385
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: how many teams are blowing leads this year. It's written

386
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: kind of from a Knicks perspective because they've had several

387
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: times where they've blown big time double digit leads. He

388
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 3: released it yesterday and then they blew a twenty five

389
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: point lead later that night.

390
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: Subscribe up people, Yeah, buddy, he'll catchutt that it was

391
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: a two point game after one of the Buddy threes

392
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: with like three minutes to go, but Jillen Brunson then

393
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: took over and it was seven straight points from him.

394
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: He had a monster game, Jalen Brunson in twenty twenty

395
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: three here is killing it in the Knicks or five

396
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: and one in the calendar year, he leads the Knickson

397
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: points per game, assists per game, an he's shooting fifty

398
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 2: two point six percent from the floor from three and

399
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: I guess an abysmal seventy seven point five percent from

400
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: the free throw line. But brunts in is he's on one.

401
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: We should find out the fan votes for the All

402
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: Star Game the starters today.

403
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: I think we'll get the second return.

404
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: So we'll see if those Knicks fans, uh, you know,

405
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 2: showed some love to Brunson. At least you can't imagine

406
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna be at the top of the Eastern Conference cards,

407
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: but well, he cracked the top ten. And he's deserving

408
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: man to be in this game if it is a

409
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: reserve in a reserve role, because he's just like he's

410
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 2: just played phenomenally for the next.

411
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those odd things that I don't

412
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 4: wish Haliburton to be hurt whatsoever, But sometimes when guys

413
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: get hurt, other guys sneak in as injury replacements. It

414
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: goes on the resume and it's all right for everybody.

415
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 4: But how we're far away from the All Star game

416
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 4: five plus weeks.

417
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, hope, it's not that.

418
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 3: No, no, no, And he lost his shoe on the

419
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: It was a weird like it was a weird fall, right.

420
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: Part of it was because the shoe popped off.

421
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: It was a hard fall. Tweaked it and you could

422
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: see Buddy heel got them back into this game. But

423
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 4: there is a difference in the first forty five minutes

424
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: of a game, first forty six minutes a game, in

425
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: the last two minutes of a game and getting good possessions.

426
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: And you could see that play I mentioned there where

427
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 4: he chucked up a shot. If Tyre's Halliburton is running

428
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: the show there, it's a different possession for the Pacers

429
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: and maybe they can come all the way back. But

430
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 4: a good show from the Pacers.

431
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: And RJ Barrett, like I said, is back. So that

432
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: Mat quickly went to the bench and he was coming

433
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 2: back from a lacerated finger injury. RJ Barrett was but

434
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: he had twenty seven points. You know, a very RJ

435
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: like line of nine to twenty three from the field.

436
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: I feel like he does a lot of that, but

437
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: eight boards and for assists, and he played a lot,

438
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: and Tips is leaning into his guys right now quite

439
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: a bit. Brunts and forty two minutes. RJ there forty

440
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: one and Randall and Mitchell Rominson flirting with forty minutes

441
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: too quickly, the only one off the bench really getting

442
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: any any real burn with the twenty six minutes. But

443
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: that's sort of what Tips does. That's his type of

444
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: rotation exactly right, all right, some other Eastern Conference wins,

445
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: they're gonna throw three games out, talk about as many

446
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: as you would like. Kuzma hit a late three pointer

447
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: to lift the Wizards past the Bulls one hundred and

448
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: ninety seven. We get into that zach Lavine shot or

449
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: incident at the end. We had Sadek bay and Bogdanovic

450
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: leading the shorthanded Pistons past the Timberwolves. Bad loss for

451
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: Minnesota there fell apart there in the second half, and

452
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: then Jalen Brown talking about all stars here, I mean,

453
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: is this guy, I mean, can we can we cheat

454
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: and make him a guard?

455
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: Is he a guard? Is he Ford?

456
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Forty one points from him to lead the Celtics past

457
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: the Pelicans, and Boston's put together a little wind streak

458
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: here after losing three in a row. Remember they had

459
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: that like sort of rough patch there, really their only

460
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: rough patch of the season so far. But they're back winning.

461
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think? What do you want to

462
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 3: start with? Do you want to start with that Wizard's Bulls

463
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: game there?

464
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: Sure? Let's not start with the Wolves? Oh the Wolves,

465
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: we want.

466
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: To talk about them?

467
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, well there's some notes, but anyway, let's start

468
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: with kay Kuzma hitting the game winner.

469
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: It was a shot.

470
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 4: It was a crazy shot because they hadn't scored for

471
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: nearly four minutes and they they went up ninety seven

472
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: ninety two, three point fifty one left in the game,

473
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: and they only scored three points the rest of the way,

474
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: and it was Kyle Kuzma's game winner. Luckily, the Bulls

475
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: also were not scoring right in that game. Yeah, a

476
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 4: weird one where the Wizard's got a big in the

477
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: third quarter and let the lead dwindled, dwindled, dwindle into

478
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: the fourth until ten seconds left kus ninety seven. All

479
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: he sees Vouch coming up Booch doesn't come up enough.

480
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 4: He's got some space, he said in the postgame interview

481
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 4: with Megan McPeak, he said, I saw Vouch and I

482
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: was thinking I was gonna go in the lane. But

483
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: when he gave me the space, got my feet right.

484
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 4: I like how he said, I got my feet right

485
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 4: and lined her upshot.

486
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: That crazy.

487
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, this is that everybody's going, what the hell

488
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: are you doing? We can get a much better look

489
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: than that, buddy bag.

490
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 4: But nobody was getting a good shot the last few minutes.

491
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: No one was getting a good shot. Was disappointed with

492
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: Avidya who twenty boards. Wow, that was amazing that he

493
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 4: was doing that. I think he was just tired because

494
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: on one possession he had the ball. I've seen him,

495
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: you know, line up some good threes. As the number

496
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: one guy for Israel's national team, he can do it.

497
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 4: But I don't know why he didn't. And h monte

498
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: More should had the ball in his hands. But anyways,

499
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: really Kuzma just bailed out this team. There's no doubt

500
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: about that. Todji Gibson I thought was giving it to

501
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 4: the bulls the last few minutes, and then and then

502
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: that thing that Zach Levine did I'm not sure what happened.

503
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about that. Yeah, the Bulls after the

504
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: Kuzma Okay, well, before the Kuzma three, Zack zach Lavine

505
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: hit a wild three too where there was little time

506
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: left on the shot clock and he had just chuck

507
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: it up.

508
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 3: It goes in.

509
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: Then Kuzma hits his crazy three, and so the Bulls

510
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: have one last chance to tie it up. They called

511
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: time out, so they're move they're advancing the ball and

512
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 2: I think whether it's like five seconds or so left

513
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: on the clock, and zach Levine attempts a two point

514
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: shot again with his team trailing by three, and it

515
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: did leave a lot of people baffled, and I know

516
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: ESPN had especially, Yeah Voos was like what are you doing?

517
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: But like in zach Levine's defense, you know, he thought

518
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: the Wizards were fouling because Delan right did foul him,

519
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 2: so he's thinking, I'm fouled. I might as well go up,

520
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: see if we can get the three point play here,

521
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: you know, go the referees into that, and instead nothing

522
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: was called, and you're just left with zach Lavine taking

523
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: a very weird looking jump shot inside the three point

524
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: line and so that's what that's what happened. And yeah,

525
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: I guess even.

526
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: Delan Ran said, I followed you. Rodney Mott said, you

527
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: got I missed that one. Yeah, yeah, still take a

528
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: three pointer? Yeah yeah, I mean you need a three there.

529
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: I understand the thinking of it.

530
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: The Wizards had a foul to give, I believe.

531
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, so exactly so that they were doing the

532
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: classic we're up three, we're fouling, so you're gonna have

533
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: to reset. I mean, who knows how much time what

534
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: actually went off the clock. They might have done it again,

535
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: sent him to the line to shoot free throws. But

536
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 3: you need a three pointer there, And it was in

537
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 3: the exact same spot where Levigne had just hit that one,

538
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: where the shot clock was running down. He's shooting like

539
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: fifty percent from three for the last month, right, let

540
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: it fly. But it'll be cool for the Bulls to

541
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: get their fourth last two minute report coming back saying, hey,

542
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: we messed it up at the end Thereond won against

543
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: the Wizards two against the Cats. This one though, did

544
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: not cost them.

545
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: The game, right right right, It still would have been

546
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: in a tough position to win this game.

547
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, they got pounded by twenty points in the

548
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: fourth excuse me in the third quarter?

549
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the game.

550
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 4: That was the game, That was the game. Nobody's scoring

551
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: at the end, and when you're inbounding with five seconds left,

552
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: there's not enough time to go for a two foul

553
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: and come back. He shoot the three, but it did

554
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 4: end in obvious twenty rebound. So that's cool.

555
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: It's very cool, very very cool.

556
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: And I tweeted this out this morning because I was like,

557
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: when this guy plays, it feels like they win a lot.

558
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: And he missed a good chunk of the year, but

559
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: Delon Wright is back for the Wizards. Memory started the year.

560
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: I was talking about him on a podcast here was like,

561
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: this guy's one of the most underrated defensive players in

562
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: the league, and he really really helps. They won three

563
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: out of their first four games the Wizards did, and

564
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: then he got injured and he was gone for a

565
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: long time. He's been back for like I don't know

566
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 2: what it is like ballpark ten games and the Wizards

567
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: of one more than they've lost this he helps man

568
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: off the bench and he was hitting the floor last night.

569
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: I think it's contagious with those Wizards guys too, especially

570
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: when Beel and Porzingis weren't playing. There was one instance,

571
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: one instant, instantant what am I trying to say? Instance

572
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: instance thank you? Uh late in the game, where like

573
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: everybody was hitting the floor, even the bulls guys. I

574
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: mean it was like five bodies on the floor. But

575
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: uh delawn right, the Wizards are nine and four when

576
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: he's out there. Many at the table. Yeah, no, he

577
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 2: just he's really instrumental to their defense and giving him

578
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: a little intensity on that end. But yeah, weird, weird

579
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: ending for sure. Hell of a shot from Coups who

580
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 2: had some fresh ink on the back of his arm.

581
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: He had the saran wrap on there, the plastic wrap.

582
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was literally playing with plastic on his arm.

583
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 4: I saw that.

584
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bunch of tattoo artists because I tweeted out,

585
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: We're like, you shouldn't be playing with a you know,

586
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: a fresh tattoo because of sweat and stuff like that.

587
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, fair, But I would have loved to

588
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: hear that conversation with Kyle Kuzma and Westland Cell Jr.

589
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: Hey I gotta set tonight fresh ink. I got a

590
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: He've got a rocket ship tattooed on that shoulder.

591
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: I don't know what the tat was, and he's got

592
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,959
Speaker 2: a lot, so yeah, added to the sleeve there. But anyway,

593
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: it worked out.

594
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: In the end. You want to talk about the Wolves

595
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: falling apart real quick here, you got some notes.

596
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 4: Well, they've had one four in a row, and I

597
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: think they just said that's enough. That's good four and

598
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: four is good enough. They didn't fight hard enough. But

599
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards is battling through some injuries, and I think

600
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 4: we always highlight guys that are sitting out. What the

601
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 4: heck is going on? Stars sitting out in the NBA.

602
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: Should highlight a guy that's played in every single game

603
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 4: this season. He is battling through left hipped soreness. He

604
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: was actually ruled out of this game. He left the

605
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: game ruled out. Then they said, nah, he wants to play.

606
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: He's coming back in. So I just wanted to highlight that.

607
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 4: Even though an abysmal effort overall, they were up in

608
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: the second quarter, gave it all back to the Pistons

609
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 4: and they are the fourth worst third quarter team in

610
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 4: the NBA this season. They lost the third by thirteen.

611
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 4: That's where you can get the Wolves. They are like

612
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 4: our Hawks here in Atlanta. They're just waving. They wave here,

613
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 4: they wave there. They wave in the wind.

614
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: They're good sometimes like a wacky inflatable.

615
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just go with the wind. Sometimes we feel

616
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 4: like it, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we feel like it,

617
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 4: sometimes we don't. They could have beat this Pistons team,

618
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: but they didn't. They were up big again anyway, they

619
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: had one foreign ross. It's hard to really really harp

620
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 4: on them, but the third quarter thing they lost by

621
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: the loss of the Pistons. A few games are the

622
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 4: time they played the Pistons earlier in the week by

623
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: fourteen in the third quarter. Then they did it again.

624
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: So it's tough to Wolves have had some bad losses,

625
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: like two bad teams this year, and yeah, probably a

626
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 3: big part of it is like lost the Detroit Yeah,

627
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: I think they maybe lost the Spurs too, and maybe

628
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: maybe a Hornet. I don't know. There's a couple other

629
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: bad teams in there.

630
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: They are the Hawks.

631
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: As for the Celtics, just to again show a little

632
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: love to Jail and Brown forty one points and twelve boards.

633
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 2: I know, forty one points like no one cares anymore,

634
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: but still what a game. And he shot fifteen to

635
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: twenty one from the field. He is the first Celtic

636
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: to have a forty point ten rebound game with seventy

637
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: percent shooting from the field since Larry Bird Wow, nineteen

638
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: ninety Larry Bird. Yeah, I mean that's a that's a

639
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: high percentage. It's a high percentage for a forty point

640
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: game to go with the ten plus rebounds. But yeah, again,

641
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: like I said, they've won eight of the last ten

642
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: Celtics or they're fine. After we had that one week,

643
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: Who're like, well, what's wrong? I mean, my god, When

644
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: you got Brown and Tatum on your team that can

645
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: put up seventy to eighty points, it's like that's a good,

646
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: good head start against other teams. You're two superstars, you're

647
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: two all stars.

648
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown's averaging twenty seven a game and basically fifty

649
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: percent from the field, and he's the clear number two

650
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: on the Celtics. Like he's being overshadowed how good his

651
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: season is because Tatum is such a good player. He's

652
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: just relentless going to the hoop. Jalen Brown is. So

653
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: you know, on the YouTube thumbnail, we've got Jalen versus

654
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: Jalen on there Jalen Brown should start the All Star

655
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: Game over Jalen Bronson. Yeah, he plays enough to me

656
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: at the shooting guard. I know he does. He's considered

657
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: a guard as well on the book. There you go.

658
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: It should be him over a Halliburton, over a Brunson.

659
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: It should be him and.

660
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: Mitchell ain't mad about that. No, ain't mad.

661
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: But it will be weird.

662
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: I will say if Jillen Brown starts the Ulstar Game

663
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: and Jason Tatum does not because of Katie Jannison.

664
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: Embiide which is in play, that would be weird.

665
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, possible. It's true. I hope we do see

666
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 4: the whys play together, and that's Jason with the why

667
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 4: and Jalen with the why play together out there. I

668
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: like call him the whys because why is there why

669
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 4: in each of their names. I guess their parents have reasons.

670
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 4: That's cool, nothing wrong with that. I had one note

671
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: about the Celtics. After starting his first game of the

672
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: season last game, Robert Williams sat out this entire game.

673
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: They are preserving him for the postseason because he got

674
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 4: injured last year in the playoffs and wasn't right, and

675
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 4: they just want him fresh for two full months. They

676
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: are really just they just want that rim protection in

677
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 4: the playoffs for two full months. While he played tonight

678
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 4: against the Brooklyn Nets. It's possible. I don't know. You

679
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: never know, but they're so good with or without him.

680
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 4: They haven't played with him for a chunk this season.

681
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: They're that it and on the injury front, on the

682
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: Pelican side, since Ion went out, they've lost to the Nets,

683
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: Mavericks and Celtics, and they beat the Wizards. They've got

684
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 4: a tough schedu they're fighting, Sege mccoms fighting. When is

685
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: Brandon Ingram going to come back?

686
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: I know, I thought, like a week and a half ago,

687
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: what was like, he's playing tonight.

688
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like he's right there.

689
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: Then it was like, suddenly we haven't seen him.

690
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: He's been out seven weeks. He's out with a toe injury.

691
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah he's seven weeks.

692
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't played since Black Friday. I looked it up. Wow,

693
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 4: was he was going for a door crasher? Really hard

694
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: going for a TV really hard.

695
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: To trying to get a big screen, is what you're saying.

696
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't ever know.

697
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: They could use them back at this point. See Jay's

698
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: doing all he can there offensively.

699
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's tough. It's stuff when you're in the West.

700
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: They are still floating there at the third spot. I

701
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 4: believe the third seed. They got a couple of games

702
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: ahead of the Kings.

703
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 2: That's right, Kings are and fourth. Let's let's slip them

704
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: in here. The other games from last night the Western

705
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: Conference wins, John Morance thirty eight in his return as

706
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: the streaking Grizzlies. They topped the Spurs. It got a

707
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: little close, but the grizz pulled it out, Yo Kitchen.

708
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: The Nuggets just crushed the Suns one twenty six ninety seven,

709
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: their twelfth straight home win there in the Mile High City.

710
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: And Sabonis nearly had a triple double. Kings topped the

711
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: very bad Rockets. And yeah, they are fourth in the

712
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings, and it's nearly mlkday. Any

713
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: thoughts on either of those games there?

714
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: Tk the things that I noticed from this game is

715
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: that John Morant had another massive dunk on Yaka Pearl.

716
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: Oh frunk c really but kind of a thrunk. Yeah,

717
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: And then in the postgame interview he said Yaka Pearl

718
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: didn't get the memo started laughing about it. Well, he's

719
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: also he's also a great shoplocker, so I knew I

720
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: had to finish with authority when I was in there. Okay,

721
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: that's very funny to be Yaka Pearl turned into a

722
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 3: little bit of an Aaron Bains, just a guy that

723
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 3: gets dunked on a lot. You gotta challenge shots. I

724
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 3: think he had five blocks last night, so you know

725
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: he was there at the rim. Yeah. The ones that

726
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: get through though, they're excited. Yeah, so that was pretty cool.

727
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: And then I also saw in the Rockets King Gang

728
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: Kings game that Alprin Shngon became the youngest center to

729
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: ever have a triple double. He had a ten and

730
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 3: a pure ten ten ten, youngest center to have a

731
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: triple double. That's how you cherry though. That's a good one.

732
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: That was a great cherry picks that.

733
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on these games, Yeah, I'm trying to think

734
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: of other centers that could have done. I guess Wilt

735
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: wasn't doing it at his age. How old is Shagoon exactly?

736
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: He is a youngster. He might still be twenty twenty. Yeah,

737
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: twenty that's young.

738
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: Probably beat somebody by a few days. Beat a center

739
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: by a few days out the jamarant dunk. Yeah, Yakub

740
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 4: gets caught. It's just it's awesome to watch in slow

741
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: motion because he has Yaka Purdle under the rim and

742
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: he just knows he can jump way faster than Pearl.

743
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: They're both on the floor and he just decides, I

744
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: am going to skyrocket and Purl has no chance when

745
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: he got him under there. So yeah, Pearl getting dunked

746
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 4: on Purdle. And a lot of trade rumors. Two first

747
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 4: round picks is the aston price. It's too much and

748
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 4: I love me some Purdle, but wow, yeah, that's the

749
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: asking price. But that's what's actually going around. Obviously it's

750
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 4: four weeks today. That price will go down, likely to

751
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: one first round pick at some point. But ask Kai,

752
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: ask Kai, and we shall seek.

753
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: And I like this from Mike Brown, King's coach Sabonus,

754
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, nearly a triple double twenty five to

755
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: fourteen nine sists, so one A says shy dearon Fox

756
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: twenty four to nine. Brown just talking about this game.

757
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: This is how you slip this in there. This is

758
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: how you get your guys into the All Star team.

759
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: Starts with our two all stars. That's right, don't even

760
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: say their names. You just say we got our two

761
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: all stars, Sabonas and Fox. Will they both be there? Uh,

762
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna find out soon enough, a couple of weeks.

763
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: But let's get those. Let's get those fan returns out NBA.

764
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: We could slip them into a C block here or

765
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,479
Speaker 2: something like that. If you release them now, you never know.

766
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: Otherwise we'll talk about him on the Drop podcast tomorrow.

767
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our first break.

768
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: The previous record holder of the youngest centner to have

769
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: a triple double.

770
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: Okay, bye bye? How much did shouldn't get them?

771
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 4: I don't know this report? I'm reading on a Turkish

772
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: Turkish website. It's in English, so I can read it. Okay,

773
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 4: good doesn't give the dates.

774
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: He just got him. Yeah, he's younger, he's younger.

Speaker 2: can mail them in as we've proven mail still real.

785
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: Our first one, though so was by way of Twitter.

786
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: A lot of these coming from our Twitter peeps. From

787
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: slam Fam. What's the deal with Trey Young? Beef with

788
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: coaches and teammates plus the trade demand speculation. I don't

789
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: think he's a player to carry a team on his

790
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: own for a couple of reasons, but he can collaboratively

791
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: work with others in a winning system.

792
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: Is he a star?

793
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: Is he problematic? Slam fan wants to know about Trey

794
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: Young didn't play in last night's game. I think we

795
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: forgot to mention that. I guess he had a sick

796
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: non COVID illness and.

797
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: He had the flu or something wasn't feeling good.

798
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 2: But anyway, Trey Young not everyone's favorite player. I would say,

799
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 2: right now, right I feel like Trey Young's stock is very,

800
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 2: very low of the public opinion.

801
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 4: There's bad press out there. The fighting with the coach

802
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 4: didn't come to that game that night. But slam Fam

803
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 4: asks can he collaboratively work with others in a winning system.

804
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: I think the answer is yes, he is a star.

805
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 4: I know we want to point to one thing. We

806
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 4: love doing it. I love doing it. Fact, what's the

807
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: thing that's taken them down a notch since they made

808
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: the conference finals? I don't think you can point to

809
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: one thing they Maybe they rose a little too high.

810
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 4: Maybe they won a playoff series in year number three

811
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 4: for him against the Knicks where he's bound in front

812
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: of everybody, and then the six are self destructed and

813
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 4: they make the conference finals, and maybe it happened a

814
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: little too quickly, and maybe he just doesn't pull guys

815
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: together enough there. Maybe there wasn't a vet in that

816
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 4: room to bring them along from year three to year

817
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 4: four for Tree Young because you know, it's him and

818
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 4: John Collins essentially that have been there since the beginning,

819
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: and Clint Capella, who's not necessarily the leader, and it's

820
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of young guys that have butted heads a lot,

821
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 4: and they didn't have a coach to bring them along.

822
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 4: There's just I don't know. I'm pointing to all these things.

823
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 4: The fact is he's a great player and he just

824
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 4: hasn't made himself a superstar quite yet. Superstar brings it

825
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: from year to year, brings it on the defensive end,

826
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 4: and that hasn't happened quite yet. It's it's worried time

827
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 4: in Atlanta, that's for sure. They traded a bunch of

828
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 4: picks for de Jontay Murray. It's not working out. He's

829
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 4: only signed till the end of next year. They've rejigged

830
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: the front office a ton because maybe he likes Landry

831
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: Fields better. Maybe maybe because they have to go in

832
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 4: another direction real damn quick. But it shouldn't be all

833
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 4: be I'll beyond Tree Young. I know we like, we

834
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 4: like sitting here on Twitter like slam fam and speculating,

835
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 4: but it's on. It's on the entire team as well.

836
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 4: Johantay Murray has flown under the radar completely this season.

837
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 4: The guy is the guy is a star himself and

838
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 4: hasn't been It hasn't been working out. But I know

839
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 4: we want to point to one guy and say, this guy,

840
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 4: this guy's done it. She should be doing it every year.

841
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: He should be bringing it. Listen.

842
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: But he's having a bad and he's having that arguably

843
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: the worst season of his career and I know he

844
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: still gets his points, still gets his assists, but efficiently

845
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: efficiently wise, it's it's bad he's shooting.

846
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 3: From the floor thirty from three.

847
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, try, yeah.

848
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's his thing.

849
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: It's obviously not defense.

850
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 4: And the last thing I will say is, as we

851
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: see that, as we see those numbers come down here

852
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 4: in year five for him, Donovan Mitchell lasted five years

853
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: in Utah before things just went bad and Mitchell was

854
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 4: traded and Rudy Gobert was traded. They may have peaked

855
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 4: in twenty one in their current form. Not to say

856
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: the tray's going to be dealt, but I think there

857
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 4: will be. There has to be a change in the

858
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: locker room. The locker room is the thing that's not right,

859
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: I guess, is what I'm getting down to. It's not

860
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: tree Jung's ability. I think there's something going on with

861
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 4: that locker room like there was with the Donovan Mitchell,

862
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert. They're just there's just not a cohesive unit,

863
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: not working hard enough. And that's why it's fun to

864
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: say Trey Young just isn't good enough, isn't a leader.

865
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 4: But I think it's just a whole thing that we

866
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 4: can't even but you're sort of saying that and that's fine.

867
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 2: I mean, are you not you keep pointing out like

868
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: this locker room that you know, the butting of the heads.

869
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: He's the supermart is the superstar and the team and

870
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: I mean that's a part of your that's part of

871
00:38:58,600 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 2: the job description.

872
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: Of being a super star. I think we'd agree, right, yeah.

873
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 4: But sometimes things just go sour in the locker room.

874
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 4: Just can't we can't be reborn, so.

875
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: Can't be saved.

876
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what do you think about Trey Young and in

877
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: the season he's had and obviously the Hawks have had.

878
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: I think that the lack of buy in for the

879
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: little things probably hurts him from a leadership perspective. He

880
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 3: doesn't really playoff ball when that is something that people

881
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 3: thought was gonna happen with the Jantey Murray coming over

882
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: and taking a bigger chunk of possessions, He's still not

883
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 3: really given much of an effort on defense. He wants

884
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 3: to score and he wants to get assists by passing

885
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: if he's completely completely covered. And I don't know, it's

886
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: probably just wearing on people considering they went to the

887
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 3: conference finals last year. Didn't leave up to expectations this year,

888
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: expectations probably even higher, and they're coming even shorter than

889
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: they were the previous season. So I don't know. It

890
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 3: just it feels like there are a lot of fingers

891
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: pointed in other directions, and a lot of finger pointing

892
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: going around with the Hawks. So I'm right. I agree

893
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: with you task that there are problems in the locker room.

894
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: You hope that your best player squashes that kind of stuff,

895
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 3: and it's like, who cares who the coach is. I'm

896
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: the star here. Let's play hard, let's play every single game,

897
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 3: Let's move the ball, let's buy in, and everybody play

898
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 3: team basketball.

899
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe he is not the type of guy to

900
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 4: bring the rest along like Donovan Mitchell in Utah. Maybe

901
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 4: he had to go to a great locker room, a

902
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 4: great situation and he can be propped up. But it

903
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: ain't happening right now.

904
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: Let's get to our next one.

905
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 4: From Eric Coon. We had plenty of fifty point games

906
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 4: and many twenty rebound games. That's a lot.

907
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: That's a lot of roasted be.

908
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 4: Yes, it is, but we've only had one twenty assist

909
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 4: game thanks to James Harden. Who would you pick to

910
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 4: have the next twenty sister game, Haliburn, Luca CP three,

911
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 4: Joker LaMelo, who you got from Eric Coon.

912
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 2: That's a you know, this is a great question because

913
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, we've only had one twenty assist game,

914
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: but I mean, much more difficult than a twenty rebound game.

915
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean, we don't agree with that.

916
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 2: You A part of the is you need the guys

917
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: who are passing the ball to to hit a whole

918
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: lot of shots. And I think when you get a

919
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: twenty sister game, you need you need some cheap ones too, right,

920
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: And I mean the variety of here pass it to

921
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: you and you splash a three because you got a

922
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 2: great shooter beside you, or the defense you're playing against

923
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: sucks and they're just leaving guys wide open. Only four

924
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 2: guys in the league average over eight assists per game.

925
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 2: Haliburton ten point two, Trey Young and he still gets

926
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: a ton of Assistans nine point eight. You'll Kitch at

927
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: nine point seven, and then Luca there at eight point seven.

928
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: So you could pick one of those four guys, I

929
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: think those would be smart picks, you know, just in

930
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: terms of their averages. Like Haliburton makes sense like, could

931
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 2: he have a twenty assist game here? Yeah, it could happen,

932
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with Darius Garland. His career high

933
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: for assisting in a game is nineteen. He did it

934
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: last season. His season high is twelve. Obviously, it's a

935
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: little different there with Mitchell. That came in an overtime

936
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: win against the Celtics in early November. But I think

937
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: I like, I like a Garland here because again I

938
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 2: want to I want like five or six that I'm

939
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: just like passing it in a first initial action in

940
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 2: the offense and a shooter in the corner knocks it down.

941
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: I need a bunch of those. Need some lob ones

942
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, need some transition ones. So put

943
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 2: me down for a random Darius Garland.

944
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: For a twenty assist game nineteen. That's my reach here

945
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 4: in nineteen. Yeah, didn't remember that. Hopefully he has it

946
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 4: in his hands enough. I guess that would be the

947
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: only thing. Yeah, because Mitchell has it in his hands

948
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 4: so much. All right, Trey wad you got twenty assist game.

949
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be James Harden. I think he'll

950
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 3: be the next one to do it. There have been

951
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: seven games this season with more than fifteen assists, so

952
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 3: sixteen or more, James Harden has three of them. He

953
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 3: just doesn't qualify for the leaderboards right now. He's averaging

954
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: eleven assists per game twenty one points per game. He

955
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 3: deserves some All star buzz, to be quite honest, James

956
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 3: Harden does. He's played four fewer games than Joelle Embiid,

957
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 3: so he's been just as big of a part of

958
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: the Sixer success recently as hard or as Embiid has been.

959
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: So I think Harden will be the guy. Jokich and

960
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: Dancich they could certainly do it, but that's just kind

961
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: of if their shooters are and that happens for both

962
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: of those teams. My off the board pick would be

963
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart. Celtics are a team who can get super

964
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: hot from three. He's a pretty creative passer. But looking

965
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: back at this, we've been talking lately a little bit

966
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 3: about unbreakable records. Scott Skyles thirty assists. That one is

967
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: pretty high on the list. Rondo had twenty five and

968
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, and that's really the only thing close. In

969
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 3: the two thousands, Rondo had another twenty four assist game.

970
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 3: But the way they count assists it's changed a little bit.

971
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 3: I do believe two hundred and twenty seven times ever

972
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: a player has had twenty assists in the regular season.

973
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:35,479
Speaker 3: That's not very often.

974
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, Just looks up Marcus Smart's career

975
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: high assists. He had fifteen this season. That's his career high.

976
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: So that's a good pick. Makes some sense there. But

977
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: Harden is if I'm betting on this to have the

978
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 2: next one, at least I would go Harden.

979
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you want to like Scott Skiles, you want

980
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 4: a guy who has the ball all the time, and

981
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 4: Harden has the ball all the time.

982
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 2: I think that's and he's gonna pick and roll with

983
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: em beads. There's gonna be a million points that he's

984
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 2: gonna kick the corners hope. You know Tobias knocks down

985
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 2: a couple, a couple in transition to Maxie streaking ahead. Yeah,

986
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why he's just a great playmaker. He's incredible.

987
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: He's one of the best ever for being completely honest

988
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: at playmaking.

989
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 3: I think the way he passes.

990
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 4: And that's a slight difference I think than the nineties.

991
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: Other guys bring up the ball a little bit more

992
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 4: then there used to just be one point guard, one guy.

993
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 2: Because like three guys on the floor with you, they

994
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 2: couldn't even dribble.

995
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, a lot more flat flat thirty. Oh

996
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: my god, that's tough.

997
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 4: I'll throw another guy in there. Definitely not as likely

998
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 4: as a yokich or or Luca, But I think Jimmy

999
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 4: Butler could do it because because like Yiannis yesterday, I

1000
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 4: think Jimmy Butler could get a little peeved at times

1001
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 4: and just say I'm not shooting. He'd be the kind

1002
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: of guy to say, I'm not shooting one bit. Is

1003
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: this offense going to get going one day without me?

1004
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 4: Do I have to save the world? So he'll just

1005
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 4: pass every he could go a game because Jimmy likes

1006
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 4: to do these wild things where he shoots like zero times.

1007
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 4: I was gonna say five times, but I think I

1008
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 4: think to be to have the notoriety of being the

1009
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 4: guy that shoots zero times would be something that Jimmy

1010
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: would strive for.

1011
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 2: The problem is the heater like one of the worst

1012
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: offenses in the league.

1013
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and can't hit threes for the most part.

1014
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 4: Well, that could push him to say I'm pissed. Let's go.

1015
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 4: I don't want to I don't want to bail this

1016
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: team out all the time. And then he could get

1017
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 4: a new nickname. Jimmy gets assists instead, Jimmy gets a bucket.

1018
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: What do we call twenty assists?

1019
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: Apple sauce or apple sauce? Yeah, only Harden has apple

1020
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 2: sauce this season at least.

1021
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 4: Wow.

1022
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you out there on the stream team

1023
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: everybody listening later, who's your bet? Look into your crystal ball?

1024
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: Who's getting the next twenty assist game? Or does it

1025
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: even happen for the rest of the season?

1026
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 3: Wow?

1027
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 2: Next one here from Professor k What team will move

1028
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: up or down the farthest in the standings by the

1029
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: end of the season. So we're looking at it right now, TK,

1030
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: Who do you think where they are currently here January twelfth,

1031
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: by the end of the year, by the end of

1032
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: the regular season, has dropped or risen the most spots?

1033
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 3: Is a very difficult question. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot

1034
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 3: of candidates out there. Aren't there thirty candidates? To be

1035
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 3: quite honest, I think the Lakers are going to rise.

1036
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 4: I do.

1037
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 3: They've been playing pretty decent basketball Anthony Davis will be

1038
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 3: healthy for a chunk of the season. At some point, Again,

1039
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 3: theoretically they could make a move. And I think that

1040
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 3: teams like Utah maybe Portland will turn into sellers as

1041
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 3: we get closer and closer to the deadline, which leaves

1042
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: some spots in the top ten seeds of the Western Conference.

1043
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 3: So I think LA is a chance. And we've talked

1044
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 3: a little bit about how the Warriors should be poised

1045
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 3: to make a run in the second half of the season,

1046
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: getting Curry back, getting Wiggins back, and hopefully given a

1047
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 3: little bit more effort on the road. So a couple

1048
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 3: of championship caliber teams or recent champions at least in

1049
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 3: the Lakers and Warriors, I think should be rising.

1050
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: As a strong pick. They're four and a half games

1051
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: back from those Kings in the fourth seed in the

1052
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: Western Conference. They're currently eleventh, twelfth. The Lakers are, so

1053
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: they could two good weeks of basketball there, I guess

1054
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 2: jump up a whole lot, But that's if you believe

1055
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 2: they can get Ad back, everybody stays healthy, and they

1056
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: can continue to play at the level they are.

1057
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 4: Sure the Lakers are the pick. I totally agree, especially

1058
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 4: with Lebron James going into All Star weekend here where

1059
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 4: he should pass Kareem Abdul Jabbar before All Star weekend,

1060
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a good month.

1061
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 3: Do you think that's gonna happen before All Star Weekend?

1062
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 4: Still, he's gonna, Yeah, he's got to go for it.

1063
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 4: I think he would like to have All Star Weekend

1064
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 4: be bro Lebron James. That's why he's gonna do it

1065
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 4: on the game before All Star Weekend against the Pelicans.

1066
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 4: I think that's what will happen. And Anthony Davis could

1067
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 4: come back to Oh yeah, he's pretty good. They're playing

1068
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 4: hard and they've got great players when they play. So

1069
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: considering the standings and how much they could rise, as

1070
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 4: you pointed out, they're just so tight. That's the pick

1071
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,919
Speaker 4: for Professor Kay's question.

1072
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1073
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough to like convince yourself some of those

1074
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 2: middling teams in the East could like really jump up

1075
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: to sort of the top of the Eastern Conference. Like

1076
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 2: I can't see it. I'm like really talking with Hawks,

1077
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: Bowls Raps with like no, I mean maybe you can

1078
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 2: convince yourself to Miami he could do that. They're twenty

1079
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: two to twenty sure, maybe, but I think the Lakers

1080
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: are Warriors makes the most sense for this pick. And

1081
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 2: then it's just it's also difficult then to pick one

1082
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: of the top teams and go, well, who's going to

1083
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 2: suck here in the final couple months, Like, I don't know.

1084
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: The Pacers are dropping that that that high is not

1085
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: as high they.

1086
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: The Knicks jumped over them last night there. In terms

1087
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: of the their season series, they're tie twenty three to nineteen,

1088
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: but they took both games against the Pacers.

1089
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 4: The time breaker could be big, Oh could be very

1090
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 4: big right now. The tie breaker would give the next

1091
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 4: the sixth seed and a real playoff spot. Yeah, and

1092
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 4: push the Pacers into the play in tiebreakers in January?

1093
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 4: What else? Next? One from Eric Schultz is Dwayne Deadman's

1094
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 4: Thearragun the massage gun. If you don't know what a

1095
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 4: farra gun is, the funniest thing anyone's ever thrown at work? Yeah,

1096
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 4: he tossed it on the floor.

1097
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 3: What's he got a game by the way?

1098
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: Good?

1099
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1100
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 4: I think that's right. What's the strangest thing you've thrown?

1101
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 4: Slash scene at one of your former jobs?

1102
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 3: So? And how much does a farogun way to the

1103
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: bottom of that. Remember, I think I have dimensions on

1104
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 3: their website. I mean, you said, and everybody was like,

1105
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 3: that's probably too much.

1106
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 4: You're right, you're right. It's just it's a thick handle.

1107
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 4: But it's probably not that heavy. It's only I thought

1108
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 4: it was more than six hundred bucks. I thought it

1109
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 4: was more than that. That's that's the pro. The pro

1110
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 4: is six. Anyways, I didn't read the email correctly. I

1111
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 4: omitted a word because I thought it was an extra word.

1112
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 4: But you've thrown slash, scene thrown, scene thrown, I said,

1113
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 4: you've seen, But anyway, it doesn't matter. Have you seen

1114
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,399
Speaker 4: somebody throw something as big as a theory gun?

1115
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: That's big as a theory gun.

1116
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 4: That's big.

1117
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 2: No, No, yeah, no, it's a it's a good size.

1118
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: I've I've told both of these stories before, so I

1119
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 2: don't want to like bore everyone, but like, the two

1120
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 2: things I've seen thrown at my previous jobs were one

1121
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 2: when I worked in a restaurant as a dishwasher, a

1122
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: saucepan got chucked at the back of my head and

1123
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 2: the kitchen stopped was from the main chef, like it

1124
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: was the head chef, and it was like whoa, he

1125
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 2: just clocked this kid in the back of the head,

1126
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 2: Like what's this kid gonna do? And like, you know,

1127
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 2: played cool and I had to talk with him later.

1128
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 2: I've told that story before anyway, So a saucepan on

1129
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: the back of the head. And then the other thing

1130
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 2: is when I worked on a garlic farm for a summer,

1131
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 2: me and my buddy Kiro and showed out to my

1132
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: buddy Kuran, we would uh, we would like clip the

1133
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 2: the roots off of the garlic and instead of like

1134
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: just putting in the basket beside it beside us, we like,

1135
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: of course we're both basketball fans, like set up baskets

1136
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 2: all over the place and just chuck garlic all day,

1137
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: chut garlic, cutting, chock, you know, keep score like far away,

1138
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 2: like we're on far like we were shooting, like like

1139
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: it was dumb. We're ruining the garlic, probably like bruising it,

1140
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit and stuff.

1141
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 3: Oh you were throwing the straight out garlic clothes, yeh, yeah, yeah,

1142
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 3: I thought you meant the the left the bulbs.

1143
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: We're throwing bulbs out there.

1144
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 4: You're a wild man.

1145
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 3: It was fun ruining the garlic. That sucks. I mean,

1146
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1147
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: You can almost argue maybe brought the flavor.

1148
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: Or you have to release the Alison.

1149
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, those are my two answers. Like I've I've

1150
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: shared before on this podcast.

1151
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 4: WHOA, I think you might be mistaken skeets. What we're

1152
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 4: nearing our seventeen year anniversary. All stories have been told.

1153
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 4: But yes, but that Saucepan story. Oh yeah, guarantee good GA.

1154
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: I just I bet you.

1155
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 2: I've told that story twice before podcast.

1156
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: You.

1157
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 4: I know you call yourself the best dishwasher in the

1158
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 4: world going back to your restaurant days, but I don't

1159
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 4: think you've.

1160
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 2: Somebody on the stream team let me know. I told

1161
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 2: that story not too long ago, like in the last

1162
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: couple of years. For another rapid fire answer, it's like

1163
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 2: it was I told the whole story too, about how

1164
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: awkward it was. It went like dead quiet, and then

1165
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: I ended up talking to the chef like way later

1166
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: that night.

1167
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 3: He was in his office.

1168
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 2: The guy was an asshole, right obviously, and he called

1169
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: me and he's like, hey, man, you're gonna say anything

1170
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: about getting hit with the pane. He like apologized sort

1171
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: of like hours. He didn't apologize in the kitchen at

1172
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 2: the time.

1173
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 4: I got too flared.

1174
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 5: Theay you can't apologize, then no, not in the kitchen,

1175
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 5: you don't get back to it.

1176
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 4: My answer is similar.

1177
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 5: I had one of those big you know, like a

1178
00:52:55,040 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: meat tenderizer with the big like the like a thor hammer. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1179
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 5: But I was a bus boy in high school at

1180
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 5: a family run place, and the mom who owned the

1181
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 5: restaurant tenderizing, she's in an argument with her son, who

1182
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 5: was the manager of the place, chucked it right at him.

1183
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 5: He missed it, and I had a big thing of

1184
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 5: bust like a bus pinful of dishes and stuff, whizz

1185
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,720
Speaker 5: right in front of my face and hit the cooler

1186
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 5: behind like the walking cooler, dented the cool like the

1187
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 5: door of the cooler, and I quit the next day.

1188
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 4: But it was just like, no apology for me.

1189
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: Ain't either.

1190
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: Oh and I had not.

1191
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: I had nothing to do with it.

1192
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 4: But it was just like.

1193
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 5: Almost took my head off with one of those.

1194
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 3: Yeah kitchens and crazy the bear man, it's true, never apologized.

1195
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 3: It's nuts, man, What do you got then, I'd just

1196
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: recently got into a huge fight at a waffle house,

1197
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 3: threw a chair at one of the cooks. She handled it.

1198
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 3: No problem was that was you? And yeah that was me. Yeah.

1199
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 3: When I don't get my hash browns when I asked

1200
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 3: from covered and they come back smothered, I'm ready to

1201
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 3: rage those people.

1202
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: Those people who work at waffle house, man, they're they're incredible,

1203
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 2: Like that's got to be a part of your training,

1204
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: right like jiu jitsu.

1205
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 3: And yeah, maybe maybe you two people that threw stuff

1206
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 3: at you were testing you to see if you can

1207
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 3: handle a waffle house Like nope, softies, do you have

1208
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 3: an answer previous job that you saw something crazy thrown

1209
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: or maybe you threw.

1210
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 4: Even retail back in Canada sports check days, selling shoes,

1211
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 4: we had try on socks for people who didn't have socks.

1212
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 4: I wanted, sure, I wanted to try on shoes. There

1213
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 4: were drawers of them. When you're selling a shoe, you

1214
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 4: have a customer that didn't have a pair of socks,

1215
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 4: you yell over hay tasks throwing a pair of socks.

1216
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 3: Did they ever get washed those socks?

1217
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: No?

1218
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 4: Wow? The answer is no, they're like some some good

1219
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 4: soul took them home once. I do believe like one yeah,

1220
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 4: very nice, very nice, unintended put once every couple years,

1221
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 4: someone would just say, all right, I'll do it, but anyway,

1222
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 4: wash them, yeah, wash them. Yeah. So anyway somebody would ask, hey, test,

1223
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 4: throw me socks. What we would always do, always everybody

1224
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 4: would pull out two pairs of socks. They'd throw one

1225
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 4: up way into the air, like yeah, so you'd have

1226
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 4: to look up twelve feet to look at it, and

1227
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 4: then you pop them with the other one right in

1228
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 4: the face, right in the chest. That's fun. That's how

1229
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 4: you get your aggression out. As opposed to throwing a saucepan, yeah,

1230
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 4: or a tender riser, that's a lot more pla.

1231
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: I'd rather be hit with that, yeah, you use even

1232
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 2: if they were used socks, I don't like that part

1233
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 2: of it. But unless they're like the socks were to

1234
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: I'm undone in the air and like land on your head,

1235
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 2: like on your face, that wouldn't be good. Then I

1236
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 2: would rather get hit with the saucepan to the back

1237
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: of the head. But the sauce in the pan, I mean,

1238
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, probably had just used it, just curious yea, yeah,

1239
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 2: I think he it was like he picked it up.

1240
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 3: With like the tongs. From what I was taught was hot.

1241
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it was there was

1242
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:24,320
Speaker 2: a hole on.

1243
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 3: Man, I have told this.

1244
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 2: Story many times.

1245
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 4: I have never heard this.

1246
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 3: You don't listen to me.

1247
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 4: That's also.

1248
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 2: There was a big argument going on between the kitchen

1249
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 2: and the front of the restaurant, like the waiters and stuff.

1250
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 3: It was I don't know what was happening.

1251
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 2: It was like a fairly nice restaurant like for for Strafford,

1252
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, they were going at it like

1253
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: tempers were obviously flaring, and then I think he used

1254
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 2: his tongs and like in a fit of rage, whipped

1255
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 2: it over. I'm on the sort of the other side

1256
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 2: of the kitchen. It's not huge though, and it went

1257
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 2: sailing past people on the line and then bang hit

1258
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 2: me in the back of the head. Yeah, and you're

1259
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 2: probably he wasn't throwing. That was the crazy part, and

1260
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: that's why everybody just stopped, like, whoa, what does.

1261
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 3: He got to do with it?

1262
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: It's the greatest dish washer we've ever had, spotless in.

1263
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 3: Here, I find.

1264
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 5: I imagine you as a dishwasher. Oh that job, it's

1265
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 5: the best job in a restaurant for.

1266
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 4: So good you don't have to deal with anything else.

1267
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the most part. The only thing is in

1268
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 2: another kitchen.

1269
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 3: I hated this guy. His name is Philip. I almost

1270
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: said something I shouldn't anyway, I hated him. He would

1271
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: always get on us, like they want their plates cold

1272
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: right for desserts. And so it's like if if there's

1273
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 3: too many, if we don't have enough plates in this

1274
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: damn restaurant, then like I can't take these hot plates

1275
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 3: out of the dishwasher.

1276
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 2: I'll get him in the freezer. But man, it's got

1277
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: a play.

1278
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 3: It's part.

1279
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 2: They got to cool down. Man, I don't know what

1280
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: you want me to do. Buy more plates, was the answer.

1281
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: That's on the owner.

1282
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Philip. Slobbed that guy. I would have never

1283
00:57:58,720 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: wanted to eat his food.

1284
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 2: Sweat and like spit probably falling in food.

1285
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 3: Left and right.

1286
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 4: You make a good slobby fill.

1287
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 3: Sloppy joke, Yeah, sloppy sloppy.

1288
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: Final one, Final one. Joshua Fletcher.

1289
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 3: How many weggies you all getting in a pickup run

1290
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 3: in a season, which is like a year according to Joshua, how.

1291
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 2: Do you get them down?

1292
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 3: Another ball?

1293
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 2: Broom, ladder hops. My regular run meets twice a week,

1294
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 2: and I vaguely remember about three wedgies in one full year.

1295
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 4: Try.

1296
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: Do you have an answer to this? It seems kind

1297
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: of accurate to me. Yeah, three feels for five. Maybe

1298
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 3: if you're having a sticky year, how do you get

1299
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 3: it down? Always a ball chuck, I think because I

1300
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 3: I'm never volunteering to be the guy that jump up

1301
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 3: there and get it there. There will be some people

1302
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 3: run usually try and you got we got a couple

1303
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 3: of guys and go get it. But I always make

1304
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: like I'm going to get my phone to take a

1305
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 3: picture of it, so you don't have to do this.

1306
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 3: Guy loves wedgies. We don't want to interrupt him. Yeah,

1307
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 3: he's the tallest guy out here. It would be simplest

1308
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 3: for him to get it. But they don't know how

1309
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: weak my fingers are. I want to know if this includes,

1310
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: like is this just game wedgies, because I feel like

1311
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 3: more weggies occur when people are warming up and we're

1312
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 3: shooting around. Not a lot in the games that I

1313
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: can remember. Yeah, like maybe the shooting's too good.

1314
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah we're too good, or we're too bad that we

1315
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: don't even come close to me, or we come to

1316
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 2: don't even close to like getting it close to going

1317
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: in that sort of makes sense, right, Yeah, I think

1318
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: two or three sounds right?

1319
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 4: Sounds right?

1320
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1321
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 2: Uh and uh no, no ladder though, Cherry picker.

1322
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 3: Hold on, b Rose, I got it. I got it.

1323
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 2: Well, just a second, go on, you gotta drive it

1324
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 2: all the way off. Great questions, guys, a lot of fun.

1325
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: Keep sending them in no dunks at the Athletic dot Com.

1326
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 2: Tweet them in at no dunk sync, your NBA cues,

1327
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 2: your NBA adjacent cues. We love them all. You're gonna

1328
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: take one more break when we come back pick themers

1329
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 2: all and tweeted the night all right back with your boys.

1330
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 4: Here.

1331
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 2: A stream team is saying that I may have told

1332
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 2: that story before. Twelve percent chance I told that kitchen before,

1333
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 2: and somebody else said I did.

1334
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 3: I think I did. Guys, we gotta go check the tapes.

1335
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Also, chuck and garlic a great term we were talking

1336
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: about during the break. Do we think it should be

1337
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: applied to basketball? That guy's chucking garlic a baseball pitcher,

1338
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 2: chuck and garlic a football quarterback. He's really chucking garlic

1339
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 2: out there today? And is it positive or negative? Like

1340
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: garlic is stinky? Like I reeked when I worked on

1341
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: that girlic phone. I mean I had to burn my

1342
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: clothes at the end of the summer. So it's like

1343
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 2: it sort of works, sort of works both ways, Like

1344
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 2: he's really chucking garlic today, but that guy was chucking garlic.

1345
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1346
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 3: It all works.

1347
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like something a picture would be throwing

01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 2: It's good too.

1351
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. He gets any extremely asked throw in any sport.

1352
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 3: Like you throw a one hundred and six mile an

1353
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 3: hour fastball, you're chucking garlic. You throw a fifteen yard

01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,920

1359
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, maybe he throws a thirty foot ball way

1360
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 4: up in the air like a moonshot. Sure you know

1361
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 4: something different.

01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,200

Speaker 2: They covered in the end, even though they gave that

1386
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 2: big lead all up and then they took their business

1387
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: covered easily. Actually, So that's a win for me and Trey.

1388
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm three and five, Trey six and two tasks with

1389
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: the l you had to landa so you're three and five.

1390
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: We're tied right now on Tassie. Where are we going tonight?

1391
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: Well, Tonight's game is basically brought to you by Magic Johnson.

1392
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 4: The only reason I picked this game was because Magic

1393
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 4: Johnson tweeted yesterday. As of today, Wednesday, January eleventh, the

1394
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Nets are the biggest threat to the Boston Celtics

1395
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 4: going to the NBA Finals.

1396
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Weird timing with this tweet, Magic, Yeah, but.

1397
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 4: He's he's sixty three, So you're saying, maybe he should

1398
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 4: have tweeted it when the Nets were hot.

1399
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 2: We maybe, yeah, Like it makes more sense. He's sixty

1400
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Things got injured.

1401
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 3: Things happened a.

1402
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 4: Little slower when you're sixty three. So I'm fine with it.

1403
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 4: And he's not on social media all the time, I'm guessing,

1404
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 4: so it's good. Good for him, it's healthy.

1405
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh and these two teams play tonight.

1406
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 4: That's right, first game on TNT. Maybe it's time perfectly

1407
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 4: skeets one versus two in the East, So Magic technically correct.

1408
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 4: Boston Celtics going into Brooklyn, who are getting two and

1409
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 4: a half points at home, so they can lose by

1410
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 4: two and still cover Skeets. You think that will happen

1411
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 4: or they'll win out right? Well, we think Tray and

1412
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 4: I Boston will take care of business three or more.

1413
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 3: I gotta trust Magic Johnson on this one. If he's right,

1414
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 3: then they should at least cover with a couple of

1415
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 3: points to play at home right on TNT.

1416
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: You know, no KD but Kyrie Revenge game k Yeah,

1417
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 2: take it out on this on those Beantown boys.

1418
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a jersey hanging from the rafters there

1419
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 3: saw the commercially. Yes, we talked about Risers and Follers.

1420
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 3: Beach Step in the Nets are a team to watch

1421
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: here with Kevin Durant out, Obviously, the guy's been playing

1422
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: at an MVP level. They're going to be missing him

1423
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 3: a huge part of their offense, also a huge part

1424
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 3: of their defense. And now we're talking about Kyrie Irving

1425
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 3: leading the team here. Yeah for a month. So I

1426
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 3: got my eyes on your nets.

1427
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 4: See if Magic's right here totally. And when I always

1428
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 4: talk about their lack of size, you do have to

1429
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 4: remember Kevin Durant's probably their center at times. He guards

1430
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 4: the rim at times, and he does that well. But

1431
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 4: this team fell apart against the Celtics in the playoffs

1432
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 4: last year. They have played once this season and the

1433
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 4: Celtics did win by eleven.

1434
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 3: All Right, we'll find out. Hopefully it's an entertaining game.

1435
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 2: They're on TNT. Let's get to tweet to the night.

1436
01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 4: Treed overnight.

1437
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 3: Wowt I mean, I assume Matthew Johnson is also not

1438
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 3: tweeting tonight.

1439
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no no.

1440
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 3: There's another tweet.

1441
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 4: There is another tweet. This one comes from former NBA

1442
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 4: player and current TV personality of the Utah Jazz Mike Smith.

1443
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 4: Mike Smith tweeted out this pretty specific historical NBA stat.

1444
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 4: I want you guys to guess in studio what it is,

1445
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 4: and if you're on the live stream as well, well

1446
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 4: good move because you can guess as well. So the

1447
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 4: tweet is, there are only six players in the history

1448
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,439
Speaker 4: of the NBA who began their careers averaging twenty one

1449
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 4: points per game or more and did it for ten

1450
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 4: straight years. So twenty one is pretty key here in

1451
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 4: this stat can't be below twenty one. So there's six

1452
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 4: of them. I'll give you five and you have to

1453
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 4: name the other person. It's MJ Kareem Oscar Robertson, Shaq

1454
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 4: Alan Iverson, and one more. Can you name the missing one?

1455
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 3: That's a lot many points. So Lebron did not achieve

1456
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 3: twenty one? Did he in his in his early day?

1457
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I will try and track it was

1458
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 4: very close in his rookie year. He got super close,

1459
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 4: super duper duper close. There's a lot of great players

1460
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 4: who got close in either the first year or the

1461
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 4: tenth year as they wanted.

1462
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Like I was gonna say, like I was gonna say

1463
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 3: Dominique Wilkins, but probably not.

1464
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 4: It's not Wilkins, you know. And again I'll try and

1465
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 4: type these in fact to tell you where where Dominique

1466
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 4: didn't do it. No, he was short in his first

1467
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 4: year seventeen and a half. Ah okay, so but he

1468
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 4: would have got it the rest of the way for

1469
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 4: those other Now, yeah, it's that first year really is

1470
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 4: a mellow.

1471
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 3: No, not Carmela in the rookie season.

1472
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 4: Guess no, he did it in the rookie season his

1473
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 4: second year, big drop off from twenty one point oh

1474
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 4: to twenty point eight. So yeah, just missing, just missing.

1475
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 4: There's a lot of guys who just missed twenty one points.

1476
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 4: Maybe if they're playing in this era where we've got

1477
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 4: forty five twenty points scorers currently something like that, maybe

1478
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 4: they would do it. But yeah, you I answered, I

1479
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 4: asked this question because it's it's not an easy answer.

1480
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 4: It took me a while to figure it out.

1481
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 3: Is it very difficult.

1482
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 4: It's tough. Guy obviously still playing, scored a time.

1483
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 3: No, okay, okay, that helps a little bit. Out of

1484
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 3: the league.

1485
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 4: Out of the league.

1486
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 3: Has he been covered in any iteration of the podcast?

1487
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 4: No, oh so and all. But I have to think

1488
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 4: about it. But okay, selfish legend. No, who are you

1489
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 4: going to say?

1490
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1491
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 4: I thought maybe, maybe, maybe I was going to ask Bird.

1492
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 4: Bird was close. I think right at the end of

1493
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 4: his ten years. He didn't do it.

1494
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 3: Karl Malone did not score enough early.

1495
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 4: On his first and tenth year. I do believe he missed. Yeah,

1496
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 4: Bird just missed at the end. It's yeah, we're it's

1497
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 4: not easy. This is not an easy question.

1498
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 3: Jerry Stackhouse Wow, no, no, but nice and get creative exactly.

1499
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 3: It's not a stack House level like that's what I want,

1500
01:07:58,880 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 3: like for.

1501
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 4: A better, better player. Hall of Fame player, Hall of

1502
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 4: Fame player.

1503
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 3: Reggie Miller. No, he probably was near.

1504
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 4: Reggie did not. Mitch Richmond. Mitch Richmond, Yeah, there we go.

1505
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 3: Put him in the Hall of Fame put him.

1506
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got there, good Stuffie not close. Mitch Richmond

1507
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 2: was scoring one Rookie of Year, didn't he did he?

1508
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? He did, he did. He definitely did. The guy

1509
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 4: that everyone points to as the baseline player in the

1510
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 4: Hall of quite often. Yeah, he came out score it. Yep.

1511
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 4: Came out twenty two points per game in his rookie

1512
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 4: year and didn't stop. I mean, injury slowed him down

1513
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 4: to his early thirties. Sees also came out pretty late.

1514
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 2: You could say he was steady as a rock.

1515
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 4: I like that. That was his nickname.

1516
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 3: The Basketball Reference, though his other nickname was Hammer.

1517
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 4: What is he the hammer?

1518
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 3: I've never heard the hammer for him? Same at the Rock.

1519
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, good tweet the night. I love a

1520
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 2: trivia tweet of the night. That's it for today's podcast,

1521
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 2: but we got another one coming up in mere hours later.

1522
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 2: Today NBA mid season Tiers. We are once again gonna

1523
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 2: rank all thirty teams the league's best to the worst teams.

1524
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: We've got five different categories. We had a blast in

1525
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 2: this podcast in the preseasons. We're gonna do it again

1526
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 2: here at the mid season point. On tomorrow's podcast. It's

1527

1529
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 2: point Revolution called Space Outs. We'll talk to him a

1530
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: little bit about his book, and then I think we

1531
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: could do some like mid season award talk too, get

1532
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: his opinion on who's sort of leading some of these

1533
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: talk about disappointing teams, teams that are playing above their

1534
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 2: heads a little bit. We'll get into that with Mike Preda.

1535
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 2: You're gonna take over Worst of the Week duties from
