1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: I am Mason, and I'm conducting the safety audit on

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Rainbow Road. I have never seen a place in more

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: desperate need of handrails. Why are the handrails here but

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: not here?

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: I mean, is this on purpose? This is a corner,

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: there's a booster right there, not to mention that the track.

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Just abruptly ends. I mean, how are you even supposed

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: to Oh, the carts turn into gliders. Well of course

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: they do. Oh yeah, let's just put boosters on the

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: outside of the track, right where there's no handrails. Yeah,

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Can't see anything going wrong there.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Oh I almost forgot.

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Why are we in space?

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: Who approved this?

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Terms? If someone falls off the edge, they're just going

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: to be floating in the infinite void forever or burn

17
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: up in the atmosphere. What is this?

18
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: What is this? What is the point of this?

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh, you've got a guy.

20
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: That sits in a floating cloud and just fishes people

21
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: out with a fishing rod and put him back on

22
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: the track.

23
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Now, okay, well you've got that sort, then that's good.

24
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Let's just say that Mario won't be having too many

25
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: parties once.

26
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm done with him.

00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: away there with each other. We got a lot to

39
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: talk about today. Oh my goodness, the NBA was on one.

40
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: Shout out to all the podcast listeners as well. I

41
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: always want to slip that in there. I leave your

42
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: boys a five star rating and review. But before we

43
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: get to everything, we did have another weggie, so that's good,

44
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: A bit of a weird one. Weggie number thirteen Anthony Davis,

45
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, tipping up the defensive rebound there.

46
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: After slipping it looked like he may be injured. Their

47
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: first couple of minutes of the game.

48
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: It's scary.

49
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. But he came back and well

50
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: and we got another weggie. So we're on pace for

51
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: forty four. Starting to tick up here, which was really great.

52
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: Is the last couple of weeks.

53
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: I feel like all the announcers these days are calling

54
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: it wedgies. It's happening more and more. Bill Land on

55
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: the call there for this burst called it a wedgie

56
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: previous night. People are calling a weggie thanks to us.

57
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: That's true. I'll head on the back to us. Okay,

58
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: before we get to game ball gate. The NBA announced

59
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: yesterday that they have suspended Draymond Green indefinitely for striking

60
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: Suncenter use of Nurkic in the face in the face

61
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: during Tuesday's game. The league said Green will quote be

62
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: required to meet certain league and team conditions before he

63
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: returns to play end quote. He's expected to receive counseling

64
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 2: and work with the Warriors and the NBA while he suspended.

65
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: How surprising was this decision? Indefinitely? Yeah, suspended?

66
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: Have you heard such a thing?

67
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: I guess from Morant was sort of indefinitely Yeah.

68
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: The first one, yeah, but that wasn't an on court event.

69
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: That's why this indefinite. It's definitely the first time that

70
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: I remember talking about it since we started doing the

71
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: show for the last twenty years or so. So this

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: is definitely something the NBA wants Draymond Green to stop doing.

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: Stop hitting people.

74
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Good luck with that.

75
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be difficult.

76
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they want though, you well the works.

77
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, They're giving him a pretty long suspension. How long

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: is this going to be? This could be until January.

79
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Could be five games, could be ten games, as long

80
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: as really he wants to make it well or as

81
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: short as he wants to make it.

82
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: I think the NBA is going to be the one

83
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: who puts the hammer down. Depending on what he does,

84
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: it's gonna be longer than five I think because he

85
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: had five earlier this year, I think it's going to

86
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: be longer. So he was sad after he did it.

87
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to give him any credit or anything.

88
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: It's going to be a long one, that is for sure.

89
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: But does the indefinite label help out the Warriors for

90
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: the first time, being that it's a different suspension, make

91
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: them see it differently. I'm just trying to sort some

92
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: sort of solution for the Warriors this is obviously painful

93
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: for them. Yeah, this guy's good for this team.

94
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. I mean he was just suspended for

95
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: five games for a violent on court incident. That's exactly

96
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: what happened here, So it's got to be more than

97
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: five games. Yeah, they play on Christmas, that's seven games

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: from now. Does the NBA care to have Draymond back

99
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: for a game against the Nuggets. You probably want a

100
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: full strength Warriors team against a full strength champion team.

101
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he makes it back in

102
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: time for that, but yeah, definitely surprising. I thought two

103
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: to three games is what would happen, just because Adam

104
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Silver tends to be on the lighter side of things

105
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: with suspensions. But like you said, Skeets, this is kind

106
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of a David Stern like suspension from Adam Silver, and

107
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: as we saw with John Morant, Silver doesn't like to

108
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: be embarrassed this quickly. The John Morant second suspension came

109
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: pretty quickly after his first in death one, and we're

110
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: getting Draymond doing a second similar thing as well.

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very clear the NBA is sick of dealing

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: with Draymond Green at all. This on core bullshit This

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: is like Silver telling Draymond, you know you can play

114
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: your type of basketball, your aggressive basketball, without hitting opponents

115
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: in the face, without stepping on people's chest, without hitting

116
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: people in the dick. You know you can do that.

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: I know people can do that because ninety nine point

118
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: nine percent of the league can do that. Why can't you?

119
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: So it obviously doesn't matter how many games we keep

120
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: slapping on you here. You don't learn your lesson. So

121
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: let's try something else. And I guess this counseling idea.

122
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: I roll my eyes at it. He's a grown ass man.

123
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't think he's really gonna change how he goes

124
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: about playing basketball and playing that Draymond Green sort of

125
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: always on the edge. But they're gonna give it a go.

126
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: And you're right, it could be five games. It feels

127
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: like that's minimum. I'm with you on that task, but

128
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: probably will be more. But it will be how quick

129
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: and how well he takes to taking I don't know what.

130
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: We don't even really know what it is like anger

131
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: management classes, you know, sitting down with Silver, like, we

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: really don't know.

133
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not going to go through practices and see

134
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: if he hits people when he gets hit.

135
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they like poke the bear and see if

136
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: you get punch up. I mean, what is the what

137
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: are they gonna do?

138
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's obvious that they're just trying to give

139
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: something a little bit more strict than they used to. Yeah,

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: and then they have this season. We sat here and

141
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: it didn't look like that big of a hit, so

142
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: we all thought, go back to the old way. It's

143
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: gonna be one, two, three games at the most. But

144
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: they're obviously trying to send a message. And I do

145
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: I do hold a little bit of hope that Draymond Green,

146
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 3: after he receives a longer suspension, it's gonna be whatever

147
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: it is into I think it's gonna be into twenty

148
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 3: twenty four, that this will reset the Warriors a little

149
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: bit into Okay, this dude has to calm down, and

150
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 3: this will change our focus. But if anything, because it

151
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: is so different, because we've sat here for decades, literally decades,

152
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: this is how long we've been doing the show, We've

153
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: never heard such a such a term suspension. And he

154
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: did get off the bench or get you know, off

155
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: the court and say I'm sorry. If that means anything,

156
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: I think it did.

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: Sitting here yesterday. Yeah, because, like you said, we were thinking, yeah,

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: sort of three games. You know, he okay, he clocks

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: him in the face. It's reckless, it's unnecessary, hence getting

160
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: tossed from the game. But you could maybe be convinced

161
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: yourself that it was somewhat inadvertent. He didn't make a

162
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: stink when he left the court. He did apologize right away,

163
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: and so we thought, okay, they got to hit him

164
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: with something because he keeps hitting people. But we thought

165
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: it would be Yeah, five games are left, maybe three,

166
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: and instead they're like, it's open ended. I mean it

167
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: could here's the thing, it could still be three to

168
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: five games. I think it's possible that he could return

169
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: if he does all the stuff they want him to,

170
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: but could be much longer if I don't know, he

171
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: doesn't want to cooperate. Is the other part right, Yes, yeah, exactly.

172
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: But I mean the fact that he apologized right afterwards

173
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I don't apologize, but I got to

174
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: apologize here makes you think he will at least try

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: to buy in so that he can get back to

176
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors and try and help him out. Now's a

177
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: decent time for Draymond to get suspended. I think the

178
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: Warriors have the Clippers, Nets Blazers, Celtics, Wizards, Blazers coming

179
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: up before they play the Nuggets on Christmas Day, so

180
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: some winnable games in there even if Draymond is missing.

181
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine he will be back in time

182
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: to play against Jordan Poole. I don't think that's happened.

183
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I think they will keep him out at least for

184
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah.

185
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Probably Tim Kewakami of The Athletic He noted that however

186
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: long this suspension lasts, the league seems to be setting

187
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: up a potential season long suspension the next time Draymond

188
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: Green crosses the proverbial line. I think there's some truth

189
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: to that. Like this is like we've gone like obviously

190
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: a couple of games, and then it's five games with

191
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: choking go bear, and then this one is indefinitely you

192
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: need help. And then if like he returns and he

193
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: will at some point be it at the end of

194
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: this calendar year, maybe in twenty twenty four, you do

195
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: it again and he will probably uh, you are looking

196
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: at a severe suspension if we get to that. That's

197
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: I think makes a lot of sense here. So it's

198
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: it's a very very hard sort of slap on the

199
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: wrist here, and you're penalizing your team, as we've talked about,

200
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: like Ken the Warriors even saved this season. I mean,

201
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: you're right, cushy schedule, but it's not like they're like

202
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: they can't beat anybody right right problem, And then you

203
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: get into like, oh, are they gonna start are they

204
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: gonna blow this thing up? Like is that actually the

205
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: move here? With with what Draymond's doing, with how Clay

206
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: is played, Wiggans and Looney, and like do you lean

207
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: into the into the youth movement? Obviously you still have

208
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Curry playing at an elite level, but those are the

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: questions you're going to be sing and hearing for the

210
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks.

211
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: They're not as good without him. They're three and six

212
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: when he doesn't play this season, and there are some

213
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 3: winnable but there are definitely some losable games in there.

214
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: Adam Silver doesn't like punching to the face. I think

215
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: we have yeah, and the NBA in general is growing

216
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: since we used to see punches in the face happened

217
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: a little bit more often. It's been a minute, it's

218
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: been a while but this is real, and I think

219
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: it's going to be far longer than five games, just

220
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: because of what they've done, because they could have easily

221
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: just said, you know, three four, and because they handed

222
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: out a five gamer. This is serious, yeah for Draymond Green.

223
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: What's interesting though, is the National Basketball Players Association. They

224
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: don't typically approve of this type of approach, right because

225
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: this is this is leaving a lot of power in

226
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: the hands of course Commissioner Silver, and this uncertainty for

227
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: the player of like when like when am I coming

228
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: back and to the team, So like interested to hear

229
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: what they think about this type of suspension the indefinite here,

230
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: because that's not usually what they would want to go

231
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: to bat for with their guys. It is the players Union,

232
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: so I don't think we've heard really anything from from

233
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 2: that side yet. So maybe they're even up.

234
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: To Madala is the leader of it too, right?

235
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,239
Speaker 2: Uh?

236
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: He was? Is he still?

237
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, the executive director now that he's retired,

238
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: so obviously he'll be on Draymond's side. I assume they'll

239
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: file something, you'd think so, but that'll take time to

240
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: get sorted out too, So he's still gonna be missing time,

241
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: all right?

242
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: Anything else on Andre mung Green there.

243
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: When he get suspended for well, he didn't even get

244
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: suspended when he punched Jordan Poole in the face. Didn't

245
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: even miss a game because that was an indefinite suspension

246
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: as well on the Warrior side. But he had like

247
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: a TV special on Opening Night m with Turner.

248
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's employed by them, or at least exactly.

249
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I deal with something similar going to happen here, like

250
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Draymond's gonna have a special about I'm not punching people

251
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: in the face anymore, Santa Mont. Yeah, maybe that's a

252
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: good question. I would vote no on that person. That's

253
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: a bad look, be a horrible look. I did it

254
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: last time though.

255
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's certain trickle down the fact

256
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: that Adam Silver and the NBA gives a different type

257
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 3: of ruling here. I think it's starrying to trickle down.

258
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: You can't hit dudes anymore, and it's it's going to

259
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: trickle down to the national broadcasters like TNT. I think

260
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: I think they will have to have some sort of

261
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: whether it's a sit down with Draymond maybe, but it'll

262
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: be for him apologizing. I think I think it they'll

263
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: go that direction.

264
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh do you think this is setting up for the

265
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: Draymond Green you know, apology Tour and like redemption Tour

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: after he pretends to learn from all this.

267
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, possibly right. I think if there's if there's anything

268
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: that will help the Warriors, I think it is just

269
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: changing the way he gets his wrists slapped. If anything

270
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: that they can reset change their focus, even though they

271
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: freakin won so many championships, just to help them out

272
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: here in the last hurrah for them, this could help them,

273
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: but it also could help Yeah, Draymond have some some

274
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: moments on TV where he apologizes more, can't wait to

275
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: that camera, into that camera. You know, there's gonna be

276
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: a TV. There's gonna be a TV.

277
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a TV.

278
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a TV.

279
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: All right.

280
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: Let's move on to Yannis scoring sixty four points in

281
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: Milwaukee's one forty six revenge win over Indiana. Career high

282
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: Bucks record sixty four points from Yannis. This guy was

283
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: at the free throw line all game. Obviously was dominant

284
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: from the field, but after the game, the Pacers allegedly

285
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: took the game ball, intending to give it to rookie

286
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Oscar shebwe who, Yes, Oscar rookie, rookie Oscar Shebwey, who

287
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: scored his first NBA points sort of, he scored. He

288
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: scored in the ist finals. Really the worst time, it

289
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: doesn't count, it doesn't count. So the Bucks were not

290
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: happy about this development, some of them including Giannis, you know,

291
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: chasing the pacers into the tunnel, leaning into the locker

292
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: rooms there looking for that damn ball, and you know,

293
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: the dispute spilled in of the postgame interviews. It was

294
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: all very weird, so very funny. And again this was

295
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: in a game where Yannis goes for sixty four points

296
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, okay, who cares. It's all about

297
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: getting this game ball and who had it? And how

298
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: many game balls are there? It doesn't matter which one

299
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: you get.

300
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah there are two though balls apparent.

301
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah.

302
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: And three claims on the game ball. We got Ji's

303
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: career high, Oscar Sheebway getting his official first point and

304
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: of course Damian Lillard passing Kyle Korver on my all

305
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: time three point list. What Giannis was lying about saying

306
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: that's why he was going after the ball. We don't

307
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: believe you.

308
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: You think you wanted it for himself.

309
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do consider he took it home.

310
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then he said in the press conference, I've

311
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: got a ball. I don't think it's the game ball.

312
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: It feels a little stickier, like if it felt different

313
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: than the one he just scored sixty four points with.

314
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: I'm definitely giving it to my mom, he said, no

315
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: matter what a careerh weird.

316
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: It's it's hard to remember seeing Yannis that upset though

317
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: after the game lad Gate. Yeah, he was upset of

318
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: the ladder gate too, but the guy with the lady

319
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: good point. I think he was more upset here though,

320
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: and he was like he's like yelling at Haliburton and

321
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: Lloyd Peers and obviously screaming to the back like where

322
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: is this ball? Give me this ball back? And all

323
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: the footage is coming out now you see videos of

324
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: the Pacers, I get s Miles Turner and don't give

325
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: it back to him and get that ball, and uh

326
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, all the other like clips are seeing

327
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: and again the quotes. But I mean, it's fun. It's

328
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: fun in the sense that it feels like a nice

329
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: little rivalry here building over the last couple of weeks

330
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: because let me go through it. Tyrese does the Dame

331
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: time celebration when he hit the dagger in the IST

332
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: semifinals against the Bucks.

333
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: It was great.

334
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: You know, they knocked him out. Jannis, he talked about

335
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: getting some revenge. He sure as hell does go and

336
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: get it. He scores sixty four points last night. He

337
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: dropped a sh into Tyrese Halibert. He leveled him in

338
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: this game, so he his course, is looking for some

339
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: sweet revenge. Later in the game, you know, Giannis is

340
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: running up to score here in his points. Nei Smith

341
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: hard fouls him underneath the rim, you know, around the shoulders,

342
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: around the neck, brings him down, tries to pick them

343
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: right back up, but that pisses off everybody. Bobby Portis

344
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: and his laser eyes are going nuts. He gets tossed

345
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: the Nassis, Giannis's brother held back by Crowder. I mean,

346
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: it looked like he was gonna come out there and

347
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: probably get a couple game suspensions for whatever he was

348
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: about to do. But he's held back. And then after

349
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: the game we get the yink of the ball here

350
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: and who's got it. It's like hot potato with whatever

351
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: the game ball is. And again this goes even into

352
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: the postgame press conference. I think I summed it up there.

353
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

354
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

355
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: And the fact that Turner dunked on Yannis's head the

356
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: last time they played, yes, too, so that was a

357
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: part of it. This was definitely a revenge game for

358
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: the Bucks. They lost in the semifinal. So this Pacers team,

359
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: they've lost to them twice this season already before this game.

360
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: So yeah, it wasn't just a game ball gate which

361
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: followed up the ladder gate. This this was real. Even

362
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: though it was fake, it was real, and it just

363
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: it seems so weird because Damian Lillard took that Buzzer

364
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: three ball. At the end, Bucks assistant got the ball, winning,

365
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: a Bucks assist winning got the ball and handed it

366
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: to another person who every everybody on Twitter was doing

367
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: the video work. Yeah, and I thought, who is that

368
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: guy that the Bucks assistant handled it handed it to.

369
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: Must be must be a PACER's guy. But it was

370
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: another Bucks guy.

371
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: Yea, it came from that side of the Yeah.

372
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what's what is happening that they're fighting about

373
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: a ball?

374
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: Okay? Well, Zilla had a funny theory about all this.

375
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: He says it could be that the Bucks did have

376
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: the actual game ball initially, but they got word that

377
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: the Pacers took a game ball. Again, there are multiple

378
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: game balls, which was the backup ball, and then after

379
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 2: all the drama, the Pacers actually gave Jannis the ball

380
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: they took, thinking it was the real game ball, but

381
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 2: it wasn't because the Bucks already had that real game ball.

382
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: So when Yanna says it didn't feel like the game ball,

383
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: the one that he was touching after all of this,

384
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: it wasn't because it was the backup ball, but the

385
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: Bucks even had the real game ball, so that ended

386
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: up with maybe both of them. That's a decent theory.

387
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 3: Decent theory, good theory, but.

388
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean I was explaining this to my wife Nora

389
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: this morning, like going through these clips and you know,

390
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: Yanna's getting upset and going to the back and some

391
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: of the postgame press conferences and the hard foul and She's.

392
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: Like, what is good?

393
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: This is like a real Healthswives episode. There's more drama

394
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: in this these grown men over a ball than one

395
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: of those episodes. I was like, some truth to that,

396
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: but a very funny, weird moment in the NBA with

397
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: the with a superstar.

398
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the face of the league. Just go score

399
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: sixty five next time. This wasn't even that impressive of

400
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: a sixty four point game. It took thirty two free throws.

401
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see thirty plus free throws. It only

402
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: happened thirteen times in NBA history, mostly Wilt Chamberlain the

403
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: last to do it, though Andre Drummond in twenty sixteen.

404
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: I think he scored seventeen points and took thirty plus. Yea, yeah,

405
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: but petty stuff from both sides. I will say so

406
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: good going forward. Hopefully they meet in the playoffs exactly.

407
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: How could you not love this? I mean some real

408
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: beef here.

409
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: They hate each other. And Yanni's is so good against

410
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 3: the Pacers. They played each other three times. He has

411
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: scored one hundred and fifty five points in three games,

412
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: so he's averaging over fifty in those games. He can

413
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 3: punish those Egan just score on them. And he doesn't

414
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: like Myles Turner. Miles Turner dunked on him earlier this

415
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: season in the semifinals, and he dunked on him before.

416
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: He's got a good little dunk Montage two on Yannis,

417
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 3: one time on Tristan Thompson, one time on Gordon Hayward

418
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 3: are fantastic fans after we said that's the best dunk

419
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: of his career. When he dunked on Yannis in the semifinals,

420
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: threw those ones out, So he's got some good ones.

421
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: But Jannis likes to score on these guys. Five fifty

422
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: point games this season in the NBA, Yannis already has

423
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: two of them. I know people don't want to give

424
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 3: him the MVP or I've putting so many more guys

425
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: above him, like Tyres Haliburn, who had a good game

426
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: in this one. And I love the way the Pacers

427
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: play at home, so it was fun. But yeah, the

428
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: Bucks want to keep beating these dudes. You know, seventy

429
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: points in the paint, he keeps they just score in

430
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 3: the paint.

431
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: The funny part is coming into this game. I think

432
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people, at least myself, thought, oh, this

433
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: will be the Dame revenge game. I mean, he will

434
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: be the one that really sort of tries to send

435
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 2: a message to Halliburton and the Pacers for what they

436
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: did and the selly and all that. But no, Johanna says,

437
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: I got this. I'm gonna go dunk on these guys

438
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: and go non stop at the rim until they have

439
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: no point or nothing else to do but follow.

440
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Me, follow me, follow me, and Dave. I was feeling

441
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: for Dave during the confrontation. He's like, Man, I don't

442
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: care I passed Kyle. Yeah, nobody cares. I'm not first Halliburton.

443
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: With them, Yeah, Middleton, Lillard, Beasley, Like everybody is like,

444
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: are you okay?

445
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: Man?

446
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: Like, what's like? He was really fired up about that ball.

447
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: It takes a lot so you can get under Giannis's skin.

448
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: It goes back to his first playoff appearance with the

449
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: Bulls when he just completely shoulder checked Mike dun Levy

450
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: after the Bucks were getting sent home in the first round.

451
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: Okay, moving on, Yeah, well, I and and he only

452
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 3: got to that sixty four point total because the Pacers

453
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: closed the gap pretty quickly. He came back in the game.

454
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 3: It was nineteen points with three twenty four left. He

455
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: goes and sit down, but that's when Oscar she Wait

456
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 3: went off and Ben Sheppard, who Ben Shephard went off

457
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: for the Pacers and made it a close gap. So

458
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: he came back into the game with two minutes and

459
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 3: four seconds left and then scored and scored and scored

460
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: and scored again. That's the only time. That's the only

461
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: reason I should say that he got to sixty points.

462
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: Ben Shephard can't wait for the nester she way, she way.

463
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

464
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: I love that that plot twist that he already had

465
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: scored in an NBA game, but it was the final,

466
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: so it didn't count. There's something so funny about that.

467
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: All right, Moving on here, uh Phoenix Big Three debut

468
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: Booker Durant bal They all played in the same game,

469
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: didn't matter. The balanced Nets beat them one sixteen, one

470
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: to twelve, and he takeaways thoughts on either the Big

471
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: Three and how they looked or the Nets continuing to

472
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: play really, really good basketball.

473
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: The megan takeaway I had about Phoenix is that it's

474
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: a good thing Bradley Beal is finally back because they

475
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: got a lot to figure out. It did not look

476
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: like they had ever played together to me, and I

477
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: thought that Beal in particular was kind of a bystander

478
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: in this one. He got a basket off a baseline,

479
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: out of bounce play, he got a basket on a

480
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: fast break. I think he finished six for nine from

481
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: the field, but he only took three shots in the

482
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: second half. He took one shot in the fourth quarter.

483
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: Chimezi Metu was more involved in the offense than Bradley

484
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Beal was, as was Nurkic, and I gotta say just

485
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: too much Nurkic, honestly, just he's involved in way too

486
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: many plays for this team because he's the main big

487
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: guy out there, so they all want to set a

488
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: screen with him, but it ends up with Nurkic taking

489
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of shots for your team, and when

490
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: he's got it going, he can make him by the

491
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: everything should be distributed a lot more differently. I do

492
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: think going forward, it's tough to be the third guy

493
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: in general when you're in a big three, But that

494
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: third guy is usually a big guy, Kevin Love, Chris Bosh,

495
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: They're used to their shots going down. I don't know

496
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: if that's gonna be the case with Bradley Beal. He's

497
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: just standing there and waiting. He's basically just catching shoot

498
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: guy at this point. So we'll see what they figure

499
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: out further on going down the line. But I wasn't

500
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: super impressed their first game out there together.

501
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the bigger problem is was they're just

502
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: their their whole rotation was different in this game, and

503
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: that Chimezi Metu started for some reason because there were

504
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: some injuries mister Eric Gordon out and Grayson Allen out,

505
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: so they decided to start Chamezi Metu. And you're right

506
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: about going to Nurkic a little too much. Drew Eubanks

507
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: got pulled real quick in this game, so I think

508
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: they have to figure out the rotation. I'm surprised they

509
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: didn't start Jordan Good and so when Devin Booker was

510
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 3: on the floor they kicked ass. He was a plus sixteen,

511
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: but when he was off the floor, they were minus twenty.

512
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: So I think it was just more of a rotation,

513
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 3: like you said, figuring things out. And because the guys

514
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: like Tim mez he Met Tonsir Little just weren't guarding

515
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: the three point line, the Nets just started raining down.

516
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 3: They hit too many threes in this game. And it

517
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: was the mckal bridges and Cam Johnson. Hey we came home, yeah,

518
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 3: and we're gonna start raining down ourselves. So they did

519
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: a great job of that.

520
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: They just got contributions from everybody. This how the Nets

521
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 2: are winning all these games. I mean, you're right, Bridges

522
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: and Cam led the way. It was cool like reception

523
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: they got from the Sun's crowd. I'd love to see that.

524
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: But Clack's into good game six of ten, you know,

525
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 2: did whatdy six of eleven? Cam Thomas shown a lot,

526
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: but that's what he does. But hit four threes, got.

527
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 3: To the line.

528
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: He had twenty four points and then guys that come

529
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: off the bench. You get just enough from like your

530
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: O'Neil's and your Finney Smiths and even Watford. So really

531
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: good win. I mean the Nets have a better record

532
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: than the Suns thirteen and ten. Sons are thirteen eleven.

533
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: I know they're in two differ conferences and all that,

534
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: but that's an I mean, they've surprised a lot of people,

535
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: Brooklyn has. I think people didn't know where to put

536
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 2: them coming into the season. It was like, yeah, I mean,

537
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: are they gonna still be decent or are they gonna

538
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: be like a playing team or out of the play

539
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: in picture? And you know, they're squarely in the middle

540
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: there in the Eastern Conference, and I don't see why

541
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: they would sort of fall out. They're just like sound enough.

542
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: I don't love them in a playoff series. I think

543
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: that'll be an issue when the game gets a little different,

544
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: but they should be there, I would think in the end,

545
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: either coming in through the play in or even making

546
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: an actual first round series.

547
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Basically, everybody on their team except for centers, can shoot three,

548
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: so they're third in makes per game, they're third in percentages.

549
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: Last night it was fifteen to nine from three, and

550
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: that's really the difference because the Suns they're gonna take

551
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of twos. And yeah, I don't really have

552
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: a high ceiling for the Nets. It feels like their

553
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: team is full of guys we used to talk about,

554
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: like when Kevin Durant was on the Brooklyn Nets, Nick Claxton,

555
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: he was in the next for all defense. Now you

556
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: never hear about him. When Royce O'Neill was on the

557
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz, we heard about how he's one of the

558
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: best defenders out there. Now you never hear about him.

559
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: But they're still decent role players and they can all

560
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: make threes, so they'll give an effort defensively and then

561
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: they'll make some shots on the other end. You're in

562
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: the mix for a lot of games there.

563
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: And usually the Sons are pretty good at defending the three.

564
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: But as I said, about the sort of the rotations

565
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: and timezy Metu starting, and then he's the backup center

566
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 3: when Nurgic went to the bench because Drew Eubanks wasn't

567
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: good enough for Frank Vogel. They're like twenty third in

568
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: terms of defensive three point percentage allowed, so that's the

569
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: other way twenty they're actually eighth in the league. So

570
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 3: it's a pretty solid percentage for them. Even though Cam

571
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: Johnson had that video with Neil deGrasse, Tyson, did you

572
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: see that space draft?

573
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: But yeah I did. I sent that to our friend Paul,

574
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: who loves space in basketball. He said, I'm the perfect person.

575
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: This is like my ven diagram overlapping here. Yeah, it

576
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: was a great video.

577
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: It was a great vite.

578
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: I know Cam Johnson liked space so much.

579
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very very cool.

580
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 3: That was cool. And then he came on and hit shots.

581
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: Any other games you want to touch on from last night?

582
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 2: I know we're leaving a lot left on the table here,

583
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: but anything else gout your eye.

584
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: Solid mid off in Toronto last night between the Raptors

585
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: and the Hawks. Both teams came in on a four

586
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: game losing streak. You know, I think they both had

587
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: nine wins coming into this game. But yep, the Raptors

588
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: kind of handed it to the Hawks. I thought. Five

589
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: straight losses now for Atlanta, and that's what sticks out

590
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: to me. They've lost seven of their last eight. Basically,

591
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: once Big Johnson went down, the team completely went down.

592
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: They were eight and seven when Jalen Johnson was playing

593
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: one and seven. Since they're twenty eighth in defense right now,

594
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks are the only teams below them are

595
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: the Wizards and the Hornets, So you can say that

596
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the Hawks are lasting defense if you really want to.

597
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: They're trying to win, they're trying to make it to

598
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs right here. But there's just nothing. I mean,

599
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: Trey Young had an incredible first half. I think he

600
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: is the first player this season to have twenty points

601
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: in ten assists in the first half of the game.

602
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: But he went cold, I thought in the second half.

603
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: And once that was the case, the Raptors caught fire

604
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: from three and it was basically all wide open three

605
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: point shots in the third quarter. The transition defense for

606
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: the Hawks exist that if you set a screen, somebody's

607
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna be wide open and maybe it'll take three passes.

608
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: But it was usually taken one for the Raptors to

609
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: get good looks. Last night, one hundred and thirty five

610
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: points for Toronto. Yeah, that's a team that doesn't score

611
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot.

612
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: No to hit eighteen threes for this Raptors team. I

613
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: mean that has not been happening a lot this season.

614
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: But Siakam hit five, Oji hit a couple, Barnes hit three,

615
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: Shrewder hit three, Gary Trent Junior off the bench hit four.

616
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: And that's how you get up to eighteen of thirty

617
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: four shooting from distance and third. I mean, any team

618
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 2: in this league is gonna look a lot better when

619
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: you can hit at least your three pointers with some consistency.

620
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Rap's got to shoot fifty three

621
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: percent from deep every night, but he got to be

622
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: flirting above average. And they just had so many games

623
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: tasks where they were ice cold from deep, and some

624
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: of that was the Hawks just being nowhere close to them.

625
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was the game plan. I

626
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: don't know, if you know, Quinn was like, they can't

627
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: shoot threes, just let them shoot it, but it got

628
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: them last night.

629
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the Sadik bay effect when he enters the

630
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: starting lineup for DeAndre Hunter, who's out that's big for them,

631
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: and Jalen Johnson who's out for them. They have lost

632
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 3: two good teams, but their defense overall is just pretty poor. Yeah,

633
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: that's a problem. I wonder how deep they're going to

634
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: go into making a trade happen at somewhere like that

635
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 3: small forward wing position to help some of their defense,

636
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: because it's it ain't good.

637
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break and when we come back,

638
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: we've got a bunch of interesting headlines in is this news,

639
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: don't go anywhere. We got the stream team fired up

640
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: because we did not mention Joel Embiid going for what

641
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: thirty and ten plus They're in the first half against

642
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: the Detroit Pistons, who have now lost twenty one consecutive games.

643
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: They are two and twenty two. So yeah, monster game

644
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: from Embiid, And we had the Pelicans crushing the Wizards.

645
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: They continue to suck. We had the Lakers beating the Spurs.

646
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Good game from Wemby, but Spurs continue to suck. Rockets

647
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: beat the grizz He beat the Hornets, and I jing

648
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks. I just pointed out they haven't lost against

649
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: bad teams. You know teams with the sub five hundred record.

650
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: They lose in Utah last night, So there you go.

651
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: I think that's all the games.

652
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 3: Now got to them. I think the Pistons having to

653
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: start Isaiah Stewart at center because Joan during is hurt,

654
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 3: and then James Wiseman was the backup center. Those are

655
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: two guys that Joan Beacon score against.

656
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: You can score against anybody, but definitely those guys. Just

657
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: crush them, just crush them. All right, let's get into

658
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: some is this news? Yeah, we got some interesting headlines

659
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 2: here for you guys today and everybody joining us live

660
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 2: and all the podcast listeners. First one though, brought a

00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: smile to my face. New York Post Nix bring back

662
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: Taj Gibson to help Phil Mitchell, Robinson Void Trey Kirby.

663
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: Is this news, Ah, it's news because I was surprised

664
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: to see that Taj Gibson has now signed five content

665
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: with the Knicks. That's like his third stint, but sign

666
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: today's contracts with the Knicks unbelievable to me. I was

667
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: looking at his basketball reference page. Two nicknames so far

668
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: for Toaj Gibson, hard Hat and lunch Pale. I got

669
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: a new one for him teenager's cell phone in the

670
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, because I hope he's for emergencies only. We

671
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: gotta play Sims. We gotta play Hartenstein and Tom Thibodeaux.

672
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: It's nice for you to have a veteran in your

673
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: locker room. It used to be Derreck Rose former ball,

674
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: but now he's on the Memphis Grizzlies. So with Mitchell

675
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: Robinson out, needed some veteran ship there, and apparently Taj

676
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: got the call again again.

677
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, contracts and to Gibson and Tom Sibodo reunited for

678
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: the fourth time in the NB Bulls Days, Wolves Days,

679
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: and now two go arounds here with the Knicks.

680
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: A good thing he brought up the cell phone in

681
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: the nineties because this is the only man now in

682
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: the Knicks that was born in the eighties. The oldest

683
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: guy who plays is Julius Randall. He's twenty nine, so

684
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 3: I think they just want an old guy. Yeah, for

685
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: the floor because Mitch Robinson is hurt and they don't

686
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: want to start Jericho Simms, but also just to be

687
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: in the locker room. They don't want anybody talking trash

688
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 3: to Tom Tibodaux like they have recent there's been a

689
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: couple of guys that have been disappointed in their roles

690
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: and Josh Hart Quintin grimes recently, and so I think

691
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: he's just there to shake some hands. This man is

692
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: old for for the NBA.

693
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 2: Now, do not be surprised, though, if Tis plays, this.

694
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: Guy always gonna start.

695
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: If he starts a ridiculous crazy No, I don't think

696
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna start, but he'll see it, he'll see the floor,

697
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: he'll get an opportunity.

698
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it'll be because another injury or something, but Tod

699
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: Gibson will be out there by tips, tips to Taje.

700
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: I wish I knew how to quit. Yeah, loves this guy,

701
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: but look, he's a VET. He's gonna he's not gonna

702
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: hurt you. But you know you're not gonna get a

703
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: ton of corpse from Tode Gibson at this point in

704
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: his career. But nice to have him back in New York,

705
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: all right. Next one here from the Athletic Wizards and

706
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: Capital's owner Ted Leonsis plans to move teams from DC

707
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: to Virginia.

708
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: Is this news?

709
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: That's this huge news. This is going to hurt Washington

710
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: fans big time, even though as ted Leonsis said, it's

711
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 3: only four miles away.

712
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: Across the river.

713
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, across the river hit the Potomac. That hurts. That's

714
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: going to be a problem for Washington fans. They're moving

715
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: the team to make more money. That's clearly what this

716
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: maneuver is. They're going to build an entertainment district around it.

717
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about. We saw it here in Atlanta.

718
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking when I heard

719
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: the news, and then within the article it actually points

720
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: it out the battery here in Atlanta, which is north

721
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: of the city. You know, similarly aged I believe arenas too,

722
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: both in Washington and then the one the Brave Stadium here.

723
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: But it's this idea, you're right, tass of, like build

724
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: the performing arts venue and the new practice facility for

725
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: the Wizards, in a new studio for Monumental Sports Network,

726
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 2: just all this stuff that then they'll all have control

727
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: of and make more money off of, not just the arena.

728
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: But still sucks. It's unfortunate. Did you guys ever go

729
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: to a game in Washington, d C. You ever been

730
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: to the Verizon Center, the Capitol One Arena, the whatever

731
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: else it's.

732
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: Called yeah, I wish I saw Vein.

733
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: That's right, and it's it's it's the great I'm one

734
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: of the best things going for honestly is the location

735
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: in a city like that, like where it was like

736
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: sort of in a sort of the Chinatown Penn Quarter district.

737
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: It's like right there amongst all your like landmarks in Washington,

738
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: d C. So, yeah, it's not going far, but you know,

739
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: it's going to North Virginia now, I mean, if this happens,

740
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: it's not a done done deal, but it's going to

741
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: because ted Leonsis wants to make more money yep, like

742
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: all these billionaires do.

743
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they make more money off the businesses around

744
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: it that set set up their way, set up their

745
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 3: offices at But at the same time, even though there's

746
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: some ridicule of Washington Wizards fans in the past, doesn't

747
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: mean that there's gonna be a ton of fans in

748
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: the stadium or the arena. It's just a trickle down effect.

749
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: The same thing happened yet to the Braves, where it

750
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 3: used to be really easy to get to the games.

751
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: People get on public transportation get there. Now it's hard.

752
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: Now it's a little bit more difficult then David Aldridge

753
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: does a great job of writing the history of of

754
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: what's going on there on the Athletic.

755
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it hurts, it hurts.

756
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: There's some people who protested here in Atlanta. Didn't happen.

757
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 3: I had a great a great doctor who just looked

758
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: at my my orbital break, the break of my orbital bone,

759
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: and says, oh, did you got hit by a car

760
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 3: outside of the Brave Stadium. I protested for years. I

761
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 3: used to be a seasoned seat holder at Turner Field.

762
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 3: I protested for years that that stadium ended up being

763
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: occupied by the Braves and all the businesses surrounding it.

764
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: It's it's unfortunate, but you know TVD, there will be

765
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: protesters to try and keep it in Washington, I'm sure.

766
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. In I guess the Athletic article, it does say

767
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: that monument officials who sort of like owns the whole

768
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: thing here, they said in a statement they're excited about

769
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: the potential opportunity to update Capitol One arena like the

770
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: arena where the Wizards play right now, and the Capitals

771
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: to be the future home of the Washington Mystics. So

772
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: maybe the WNBA team will actually slot in there and

773
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 2: play there, which you'd like to see, but still sort

774
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 2: of wild. It'll be I guess what it's like A

775
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 2: Is it a fifteen to twenty minute drive? Depends on

776
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: the traffic of course, across the bridge to Northern Virginia.

777
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: For this new area that they're looking at, which at

778
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: least has mass transit, I'm told to get there, unlike

779
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: the Atlanta situation. Yes, yes, which is insane that you

780
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: have to drive to get to the actual game. But

781
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: again no sign deal could in theories still fall apart

782
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: because I think Washington, DC was like trying to make

783
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: like a last pitch effort, like, hey, we'll give you

784
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: more money. We'll give you money to stay here and

785
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: do the upgrades and all that. But very unlikely, I

786
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: would say, when they're doing press conferences about the idea.

787
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: Of moving, Hey, yeah, exactly right. Uh, downtown arenas are cooler.

788
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: Ain't no way other ways they're cooler and you get

789
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: a better crowd. But I don't know. The Braves have

790
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: been good since they moved to the Battery. The money

791
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: that comes in, if the owner actually will spend it

792
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: on the team, it can be beneficial and maybe then

793
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: you'll actually see some Wizards fans out there.

794
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're seeing American cities see that, see what

795
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: happened to Atlanta and try and copy it. Yeah, replicate

796
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 3: it for sure, exactly because of all the businesses around it.

797
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: Uh.

798
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: Well.

799
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: In other arena news, here's the other headline. Oklahoma City

800
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 2: voters approve a sales tax for nine hundred million dollar

801
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: Thunder arena. Is this news, tricker?

802
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: I think this is news because part of this is

803
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: that it means the Thunder are going to be staying

804
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: in OKC until twenty fifty. That's a long time from now.

805
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: Apparently they're going to get a new arena by twenty thirty. Yep.

806
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: So I do like that. I really like that the

807
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: Thunder is staying. Since they're a team that has already

808
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: left a city once, they shouldn't be leaving again. But

809
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: also now the people of Oklahoma City are paying taxes

810
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: to build an arena, and I love that. Yeah.

811
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, the Thunder's ownership group is gonna throw in

812
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: fifty million.

813
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. We got you for that.

814
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's what this one percent sales tax for,

815
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: you know whatever, five or six years here to help

816
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: fund this new downtown arena. Now, they did put it

817
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: to vote, and it was a pretty resounding yes. I believe.

818
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: I think it was around seventy five percent of the

819
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: people that went out and voted in okay, see that

820
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: that they want this, that they're okay paying the sort

821
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: of the penny tax, their tasks to keep a team. No,

822
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: you we can get into like I'm with you trailing.

823
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: Should the people have to pay for these arenas? No,

824
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: it should be the billionaires. And like Balmer, to his credit,

825
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: it's what he's doing with his new you know, shit

826
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 2: dome where all the toilets you can put in there,

827
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: and uh, I guess the Warriors similar. I believe that is,

828
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: you know, funded by them. But we see this a

829
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: lot here with some of these cities, especially these especially

830
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 2: these cities that are sort of held hostage to it. Right,

831
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: that's the issue. It's like, do this approve this, pay

832
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 2: for this arena, or we might be going it sucks.

833
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: But I mean that's that's where we're at with these

834
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: billionaire owners.

835
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy one percent said yes, I want it, twenty

836
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: nine said do not want it. Although there is this

837
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 3: little line here the sales tax will begin April first,

838
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eighth, when the current sales tax ends, so

839
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 3: the city's sales tax rate will remain unchanged.

840
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 2: So you'll be paying for it in the future.

841
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: Well, they're already paying for renovations. It's for the current arena.

842
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: That's I thought it was a sales tax. Just sales tax. Okay,

843
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 3: so you're paying for it now, you're going to keep

844
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: paying for it in the future, which you.

845
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: Don't want to be Seattle. It's basically what the funder

846
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: are saying. Remember what we did last time.

847
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so it is unfortunate for them that they're

848
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: going to have to pay. I wonder being that Oklahoma

849
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: City is obviously not losing this team, if this is

850
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 3: just a quick step, a smaller step into expansion and

851
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,479
Speaker 3: when that happens in the NBA, because at some point

852
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 3: it's going to happen. And if you're locking in thirty franchises,

853
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 3: then that leads you to know that things are more

854
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: secure in those cities and we can eventually get to

855
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: this chatter about Seattle, Vegas, Mexico City, Canadian cities in

856
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: Montreal and Vancouver.

857
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to make this clear. I'm very excited

858
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: for Oklahoma City Thunder fans, and I think most people

859
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 2: are that the team is going to stay through twenty fifty,

860
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: They're going to get a new arena. They obviously have

861
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: a young, up and coming, exciting team like I fired

862
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: up down to Dunk yesterday. Andrew Schlecht, our guy the

863
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: OKAC Thunder podcast, they're over the moon. Of course they

864
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: would be like they're like, yeah, I'm okay paying this

865
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: very small sales tax because I want the team to

866
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 2: be here. Of course, he does a podcast about thee

867
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 2: that makes sense. He's a huge basketball fan. But at

868
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: the same time, I think a lot of people and

869
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: you're seeing a lot of the resentment, like here we

870
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: go again. This happens, you know in Nashville and Buffalo,

871
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: and it's this public private ownership model, which you know,

872
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 2: the taxpayers pony up the cash to build the arena.

873
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: Then they pay more taxes to go to the damn

874
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: arena and it's like profiting for the owners. Like that sucks.

875
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: We can still be upset with that, but it is

876
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: what it is. And it went to a vote. You

877
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: let the residents decide how much do you want a

878
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: professional sports team here in your city, and do you

879
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: believe it'll have positive economic impact. A lot of reports

880
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: say that's bullshit. I actually think it's maybe more true

881
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: for a place like Okay. See, but you know, they

882
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: voted on it, and what happened we saw in Seattle

883
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: a lot of them wish they still had a team,

884
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: of course, and hopefully they get one back, but similar

885
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: circumstances for sure. When it comes to the arena part

886
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: of it all.

887
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. This ownership group knows how to get an

888
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: arena belt. Somebody else pay for it.

889
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the part that sucks because they're like, well,

890
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: you pay for it or I'm gone. So then you're

891
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: left going, well, man, I really like a team here.

892
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Oh we got you till twenty fifty.

893
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, Well, let's hear from everybody on that one.

894
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: Final one doesn't have to do with arenas well, it

895
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: does sort of does. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen headlined

896
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: the inaugural class for Bull's Ring of Honor. Yeah, that

897
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor. We'll go up in that in that

898
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: stadium there in Chicago's is by way of NBA dot com. Trey,

899
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 2: my guy, you see the graphic there. Well done, is

900
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 2: this news.

901
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: This is minor news.

902
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: You know.

903
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't think we're aware of all the Rings of

904
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: honor that are out there. Didn't know the Suns had

905
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: one until last night. It was like, oh cool, Yeah,

906
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of like the mid tier level of honoring for

907
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. If we're being quite honest, we've talked

908
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,479
Speaker 1: a lot of times, like about Joe Quem Noah, about

909
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: Derek Rose. Well, they ever had their jerseys retired by

910
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: the Bulls. I thought no, because they don't retire a

911
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: lot of jerseys. They only got four. Basically, you gotta

912
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: win some championships or be really really old. They didn't

913
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: do either. So now they've got this. And the main

914
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: requirements are that you have to have spent at least

915
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: three seasons with the team, be retired for three years,

916
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: and you have to have either an award or an

917
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: NBA championship. So I like Derreck Rose, you're an MVP,

918
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: you will be in the Ring of Honor. Jokim Noa,

919
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: you've got a Defensive Player of the Year, you will

920
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: be in the Ring of Honor. If I'm Horace Grant,

921
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm feeling some type of way that Tony Kuk coach

922
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: and Dennis Rodman are getting honored from the second three

923
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: peat teams, but I assume he'll get his call eventually.

924
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: Gonna be weird though. See Michael Jordan, Scotti, Pippen back

925
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: together for this. That will be interesting.

926
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: I hope they leaving the families at home. So you

927
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 2: think this is just a slick way by the bulls

928
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: here to eventually honor those guys like Rose and joking

929
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 2: Noah by having the Ring of Honor, and you don't

930
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 2: have to worry about like, yeah, they didn't bring us

931
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 2: the championship, so we're not gonna put their their actual

932
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 2: jersey up in the rafters.

933
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: There's something for the franchise favorites, yeah out there, and

934
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: it allows you to keep your standards high for the

935
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: ultimate honor of having your jersey retired or perhaps even

936
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: having a statue built if you're one of the all

937
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: time greats. But you still get your name and recognition

938
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: throughout history. But it's pretty funny. This is gonna be

939
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's fourth time being honored by the Chicago Balls.

940

Speaker 2: Well okay, yes, yes, that's true. The seventy two to

945
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: ten Bulls are also being included in this Ring of Honor.

946
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that'll happen actually during a Golden State Warriors matchup.

947
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 3: So Steve Kirk, oh, come on over here, you go

948
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: you play? Oh yeah, nice, so that'll happen. But yeah,

949
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 3: I loved hearing Charles Barkley's comments about Pippin and Jordan,

950
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 3: and Charles said, I gotta go, I gotta go. I'm

951
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 3: just gonna sit back in the corner and stare. I'm praying.

952
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: Please don't have it on a night when I gotta work,

953
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: because I want to go there and be a fly

954
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: on the wall. They shouldn't do it on the same

955
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: night because that's the only way they're going to get

956
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: a crowd is on the Ring of Honor night. They

957
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: should spread it out. He also said, okay, okay, but

958
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: he wants to see Jordan and Pippen. Shout out to

959
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: the Dan Patrick show that had Charles on to talk

960
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 3: about Jordan and Pippen.

961
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bulls plan to add to the Ring of

962
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: Honor every two years, so the next class would be

963
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: inducted in twenty twenty six. I don't know if it's

964
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: mandatory that somebody has to go into the Ring of

965
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 2: Honor every two years, but that's what they said in

966
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 2: this little press release here. So yeah, Michael Scottie, Dennis,

967

Speaker 2: Phil Jackson, Jerry Krause, Artist Gilmore, Jerry Sloan, Tony Kok coach,

968
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: Bob Love, chet Walker, Johnny red Kerr text winner, and

969
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: who can forget Dick Klein. Those are your names going

970
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: in the inaugural class here, but no hors good point.

971
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: I got to connect four for you. There's not five

972
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: of these players, so it's just to connect four, all right,

973
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: Tony Kuk coach, Yeah, Bill Walton, Kevin McHale, Bobby Jones.

974
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: What do they have in common? There's only four of them,

975
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: only four or four. I couldn't even get to five.

976
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: So this is just like the actual game click class.

977
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: Six man something six man and it's not six man

978
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 2: in titles in the same season.

979
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: Ooh good. One was the only four guys that have

980
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: won sixth Man of the Year and the NBA title

981
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: the same season. Tony Kuk coach still the last guy

982
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six. Prior to that, Walton with the

983
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: eighty six Celtics, Michale eighty four Celtics, Bobby Jones eighty

984
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: three Sixers. Wow, it's a curse, the coup coach curse.

985
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to win six Man of the Year,

986
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: You're not win a championship.

Speaker 2: the year after they won the Yeah? Yeah, twenty ten eleven?

990
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 2: Good point? Uh good one?

00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: I like that.

992
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 2: All right, that's just this news. Let's talks about arena.

993
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: We gotta take one more break when we come back.

994
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 2: Trey has tweeted the night, all right, from Tudd to totn.

Speaker 1: out to Lee Ellis and shout out to Richie Beno

999
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: two in twenty two. It's not great stuff, but some

1000
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: good sadness from Piston's fans last night after the twenty

1001
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 1: first straight loss. It's just worth checking out at kofe's

1002
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: Twitter account. See all of the memes he was posting,

1003
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: but this was the one that really caught fire. Our

1004
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: jan Hunt thirty six tweeted out, this is getting out

1005
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,959
Speaker 1: of control. Even the youth is disappointed in this team.

1006
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: And we've got slow moo shots of sad Pistons going

1007
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: straight into two young Pistons, fans punching each other in

1008
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: the arms, and a parent coming into saying please stop,

1009
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: please stop. Apparently. There was also a kid crying shown

1010
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: on the jumbo tron at the game last night. That

1011
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 1: brother needs help, That's all I could think. How about

1012
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: that kid's old, He's gonna get pounded. Bad stuff. Brothers

1013
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: fighting brothers the worst.

1014
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's so bad. The Pistons just need to

1015
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: like just get one win here and get the hell

1016
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 2: out of the way, because the Spurs insane losing streak

1017
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: and the Wizards are basically just as bad despite having

1018
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 2: a tiny bit record. I mean, just one win for

1019
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: dey Troit year and like all attention shifts to like, yeah,

1020
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: San Antonio or Washington, but it's just because they're they're

1021
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 2: leading the pack here in terms of futility at twenty

1022
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: one straight. I mean, it's in play tests this all

1023
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: time losing streak record of twenty six games within one season.

1024
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, luckily they have the Hawks coming up, who have

1025
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 3: struggled defensively, and then the Jazz right after that, who

1026
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 3: are quite injured and have a bad season. Because jon

1027
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 3: Biid with his thirty and ten assists in the first half,

1028
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 3: can do that against the Detroit Pistons, no problem to

1029
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 3: throw out a six to eight guy to guard him

1030
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 3: right now because of their injury, they throw out Isaiah Stewart.

1031
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: Jonan beats a lot bigger than Steward. He's undersized, he's

1032
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 3: undersized for the four spot. Then you start them at

1033
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: the center spot. That ain't gonna work. But they play

1034
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: them again right now on Friday.

1035
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they gotta catch them sleeping Sixers fans. I'm not

1036
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: happy to see that on the schedule. Please not.

1037
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: It's a ropodope. That's what they're doing here.

1038
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 3: Maybe bid gets a rest game because that's a back

1039
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 3: to back with maybe for well, for the Pistons back to.

1040
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: Back, I should say yes, Friday night.

1041
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 3: Friday night exciting they get back to back. Well, it

1042
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: is it is a Pistons Hornets back to back for

1043
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: the Sixers, so maybe they take it and and b

1044
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 3: take a seat. He is one star that has been

1045
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: getting a little tiny bit of rest this season. But

1046
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: the Sixers. Yeah, then they get it back to back

1047
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 3: with the Box. They play the Bucks on Saturday, so

1048
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 3: two losses coming up for them for the Pistons.

1049
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: So it's nice to see, uh, Kelly Ubray Junior have

1050
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 2: a really good game. I know it's against Pistons, so

1051
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 2: barely counts, but seventeen points, seven to nine shooting, Kelly

1052
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: sort of working back into the rhythm that we saw

1053
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: earlier before the uh you know, the the accident where

1054
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 2: he was hit by a car when he was on

1055
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: his bike.

1056
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: So I think the only game the Sixers have lost

1057
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: with Kelly youu bray in the lineup was Opening night. Wow,

1058
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: they lost by one, and then there are eleven and

1059
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 1: one with him.

1060
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 3: In the lineup.

1061
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: Okay, that's pretty good.

1062
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 2: Hell, he's the secret sauce here, all right, Come on, Detroit,

1063
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: you can do it. Catch catch Philly sleeping on a

1064
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 2: Friday night. I don't know, man, Well you thought for

1065
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: a little bit that the that they were gonna surprise.

1066
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: But now I was just all I could see from

1067
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: Pistons fans last night was saying we better not get

1068
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: the thirty straight. They're just fast forwarding the next time.

1069
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I had hope, I had hope. The Pacers, man,

1070
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: they could have done it. They didn't do it. They

1071
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Actually, Tess is right.

1072
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: Pistons fans are like simulating the season here already just skipped. Yeah,

1073
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 2: oh boy, all right, well that's tweeted the night. That's

1074
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 2: hopefully another classic here. Some crazy topics there with the game,

1075
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: ball Gate, Draymond's indefinite suspension, some other action, all that

Speaker 3: Awesome, Thanks for joining us. I remember everything is better

1096
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: in threes. So the Bucks dramas, Ladder Gate, game ball Gate.

1097
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 3: What's the other Bucks big drama over the year or

1098
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: one that's coming either one, say, I'll take anything. I

1099
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: hope there's gotta be another one. I think the Bucks

1100
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 3: play the Pacers five times this year because they do

1101
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 3: They've had to play them in the semifinals, so they

1102
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 3: got a couple more games. They hate each other. There

1103
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 3: could be another gate.

1104
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 2: They play early in the New Year. I think maybe

1105
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: January fourth, something with I don't know, something with New

1106
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 2: Year's Resolution Gate. We'll figure it out.

1107
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 3: Let us know, let us know in the comments.

1108
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,080
