58
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,240

60
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,200

61
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, the plan is to keep getting more and

00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,600

73
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: today's show, let's focus on today. Let's live in the present, lely,

74
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: because we've got some big takeaways from some of the

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 5: games last night. We'll start with Fred van Vliet. Oh, yeah,

76
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 5: thank you. You know what, I'm a little pissed off

77
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: with how many people are starting their other shows with

78
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 5: the Clippers' nets. Yeah, I'm talking about you Millis and others.

79
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: I see you, ding. There's too much of this going on,

80
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: too much clippers nets starting these shows. We're talking Fred

81
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 5: van Vliet, We're.

82
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 6: Talking Fred Baby, that's right.

83
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: Bet on yourself here. If he didn't know, scored fifty

84
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 5: four points to break the Raptors franchise record last night.

85
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: They defeated the Magic One twenty three one oh eight

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: maybe the most incredible in fact, you know what, the

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: most incredible performance in Raptors history, individual performance, you know,

88
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: you know, just throw out the playoffs, don't worry about that.

89
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 5: But this was pretty crazy. That Van Vlad, a guy

90
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: that went undrafted of course, scores fifty four hit a

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 5: career best eleven threes. You know, it was exciting because

92
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: he had five in the first quarter. H he had

93
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: you know, eleven with time to go in the third quarter.

94
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 5: It was like, oh, is Clay's fourteen in Jeopardy? Herely

95
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 5: is Donielle Marshall, you know, former Raptor who has the

96
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: Raptors record of twelve threes in the game. Yes, Donielle

97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 5: Marshall is that one in Jeopardy. In the end, you know,

98
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 5: Clay's fourteen still stands and Donielle Marshall's twelve still stands.

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 5: But an unbelievable game, seventeen to twenty three from the

100
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: field nine to nine at the line. He had three

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 5: blocks and three steals too, which is three blocks.

102
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 7: Amazing, the most incredible performance in Fred Lanfleet's history.

103
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: Sure, he's never had more.

104
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 7: Than three blocks before. But what I loved about this performance,

105
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 7: First I'll start with those eleven threes. Ten of them

106
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 7: were pure swishes. The only one that didn't really swish

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 7: was the eleventh one that he that he clanked where

108
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 7: he hit the iron on the back of them. The other one,

109
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 7: because I went through and looked at it this morning,

110
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 7: I'm like, and sure, maybe one of them caught some iron,

111
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 7: but otherwise they were pure swishes. That was a Dirk

112
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 7: like performance. They're shooting the ball, everyone just looks so

113
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 7: beautifully got to his spots and did it well. Matt

114
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 7: Devlin on the sidelines was going crazy too. According to Leo,

115
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 7: he was just he was getting so excited. But what

116
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 7: I liked about it was, you know, Fred was in

117
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 7: the groove and he was in the moment, but he

118
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 7: wasn't just hunting down threes like I think in that

119
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 7: second half. And Blake Murphy pointed out this morning in

120
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 7: the Athletic the magic was kind of like, well, he's

121
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 7: just going to start firing away, gone for that record,

122
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 7: and Fred was like, well, you're coming out this far,

123
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 7: I'm just going to go inside and to get some

124
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 7: easy ones. And that's how he got to his fifty.

125
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 7: Like it wasn't just like okay, I'm just so hot now,

126
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 7: I'm just going to start firing and jacking away for

127
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 7: the team here, all for my I'm going to try

128
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 7: to make sure we get the win and get some

129
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 7: nice easy baskets in and that's what he did. So

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 7: it was a good in the flow fifty that really

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 7: just exploited the weakness in the defense, and then obviously

132
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 7: the threes were just beautiful on top of it. So

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 7: I thought it was an incredible unlikely performance because if

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 7: you watch Fred's body language, you would think maybe the

135
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 7: team's down, maybe he's only got ten points, maybe hasn't

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 7: hit any shots for a while. Because he's not a

137
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 7: very emotive guy. He stays in the moment and that's

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 7: a great thing. I think that's very very That's the

139
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 7: thing about it is that he doesn't get carried away.

140
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 7: And he could have stayed out there and patted his

141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 7: stats a little bit more, but he came out with

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 7: a couple of minutes to go there because he had

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 7: the record, and he was like, I think him and

144
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 7: Nick we like, all right, that's fine.

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: You've got the Raptors. That is now.

146
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 7: That is a franchise including playoff record too, isn't it?

147
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 5: Because it was fifty four. Yeah, yeah, believe that's right,

148
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: because mean Vince Carter's had some huge games. Of course

149
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: back in the playoffs he had fifty one, Vince did

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: We had that Terrence Race fifty one, fifty to fifty one,

151
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: I can remember. Yeah, And now now Van Vliet has

152
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 5: the Raptors record with fifty four. Yeah, he surpassed Derozen

153
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: And I know we'll get to what DeRozan said on

154
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: Twitter later in tweeted the night who had it at

155
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: fifty two? Derozean did it? I think on January first,

156
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: so New Year's Day, and now we have Van Vliet

157
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 5: on Groundhog Day going for fifty four. It's got to

158
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 5: be a special day. It's gotta be a holiday of

159
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 5: some sort. I guess for the ones only to go exactly. Yeah,

160
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: the biggest of the holidays for the Raptors to explode.

161
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, you're right, I mean he had like Lee,

162
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 5: those were swishes. You're absolutely on point there, like a

163
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 5: lot of them, like thirty foot bombs. He was hitting

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: first off like Bouchet would set a pick so far

165
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 5: out from the three point line, like Van Vult. All right,

166
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 5: I'll step into this was feeling it, and then he

167
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: had a bunch of like catch and shoot threes in

168
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 5: transition as well. It was it was fun. It was

169
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 5: the first time in a long time tray that I

170
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 5: the texts were flying around with the Raptors buddies. You know.

171
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: It was like, hey, like I had to know if

172
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 5: anybody anyone else was watching up in Toronto. Was like,

173
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: you know, so my buddy's like, hey, guys, Van Vliet's

174
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 5: like on fire right now, and you know, fifties in

175
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: play here. Who knows if he catches clay or whatever.

176
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: And so there was a bunch of like, whoa, what's

177
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: going on? Everybody's starting to tune in. So that was

178
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: fun because it's been a long time. Bo what'd you

179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 5: think of a fvv Rockford, Illinois's own Oh baby going

180
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: going nuts? I mean it's pretty crazy, Like again, an

181
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: undrafted player, I know, we sort of overlooked that. That's

182
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: it's wild what this guy has accomplished already. It's still

183
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 5: being pretty young.

184
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was incredible to me. It sounds like you're

185
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 6: saying that the Raptors are back. I didn't know that

186
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 6: they had gone away, but they're back. You're texting everybody.

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 6: You're being in Isaac here saying, hey, I know everybody

188
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 6: is watching Nets versus Clippers, a possible game of the

189
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 6: year candidate. What about my team? What about my team?

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 6: I know og Anobi's not playing, but let's talk about him.

191
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 6: That was incredible stuff. The Magic made some mistakes early on.

192
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: They completely lost track of Fred van vlee He got

193
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 6: some wide open threes for maybe his first three attempts,

194
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: and then it was over. He had kind of gotten

195
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 6: into a groove and he was looking for his shots.

196
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 6: Obviously the Raptors were looking to get him buckets, and

197
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: The Magic just did a pretty poor job of staying

198
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 6: attached to Fred VanVleet on screens and finding him in

199
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 6: half court and then transition situations and basically everywhere that

200
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 6: you would pick up three pointers, which is why he

201
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 6: got to eleven. And it actually brings up a good

202
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 6: question from John Schuman and the stream team, who asks,

203
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 6: is Fred van Vliet a beautiful shooter of the basketball?

204
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 6: I don't know that I would say he's got a

205
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 6: beautiful shot. It's got a little bit of a hook

206
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 6: to it, but it goes in and when he's on fire,

207
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 6: it feels like he's never gonna miss Obviously that was

208
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 6: the case last night. What do you think Lee a

209
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 6: beautiful shooter of the basketball, Red Vandley.

210
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 7: I would say, no, he doesn't quite qualify for the

211
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 7: you know, the Steph Curry, the Bradley Beal who's just

212
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 7: like got the most perfect mechanics. But he's certainly a

213
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 7: guy who's worked on his shot and he's comfortable and

214
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 7: when he gets his feet set, you know, it feels

215
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 7: like he's gonna knock it in more times than he's

216
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 7: gonna miss it. I will say that. But he's got

217
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 7: a strong beasts.

218
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 5: Yes he does.

219
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean exactly, he squares up, he gets his

220
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 7: feet into it, and he follows through. So he does

221
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 7: everything that you should do. But I wouldn't say it's

222
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 7: in that same level of the super elit gorgeous shooters

223
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 7: of the basketball, like a you know, like a Bogdanovich

224
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 7: as well, you know the guys I mentioned yesterday, I

225
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 7: mean Joe Harris, beautiful shooter of the Bowl.

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, they all are. I mean, we'd be remiss if

227
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 5: we didn't bring this up too, that Van Vliet goes

228
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,479
Speaker 5: for fifty four on the day of the night of

229
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 5: us yesterday's podcast talking about trading. If you're the raptors

230
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 5: for Bradley Beal, who you're putting in the deal? Leek,

231
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: you said Van Vleet, Norman Powell, who by the way,

232
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: had a pretty sneaky good game too, lost and Shuffle

233
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 5: You're in a good game too, those two guys, and

234
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 5: then picks for Beale, and automatically I said, yes, where

235
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 5: can I sign? I'm down? So it begs the question

236
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 5: did we inspire Van Vleet for fifty four? And the

237
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: second question is do we have to revise the trade

238
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: and the Wizards need to send back picks for Van Vleet. Yeah,

239
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: it's amazing timing.

240
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 7: I wasn't deep into your Twitter feed last night, but

241
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 7: I always take and so many hits from people just saying,

242
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 7: you know, like some was saying, well you inspired, and

243
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 7: but others were saying.

244
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: See is trash. What are you talking about? But you

245
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 5: you endorsed it, you were on board. I would, by

246
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 5: the way, I'd still do it in the hardware. I'm sorry.

247
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 5: I love that. This is an incredible performance. I remember

248
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 5: what I was doing when we went for fifty four, Like,

249
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 5: let's be honest, who knows how long this will stand

250
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 5: as a Rappers record. I don't know, it could be

251
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 5: another ten fifteen years was today's NBA. It'll probably last

252
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: for a year or two and someone will go for

253
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: fifty nine. But anyway, well, still Patrick's Day.

254
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 6: Saint Patrick's Day is next March or in the next month,

255
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 6: so it's gonna fall. I don't know, og probably sixty.

256
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go og. Let's go og for fifty five.

257
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 5: Let's say fifty five on St. Patrick's Day. But yeah,

258
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: I'd still do the trade. But it was great, Timingly,

259
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 5: it's just hilarious that you were proposing this. I mean,

260
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 5: this probably bodes well. We're going to get to a

261
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 5: beal trade later today. We asked you to come up

262
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: with a trade for the Bulls, so I'm sure, uh,

263
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 5: auto porter is gonna go for I don't.

264
00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 7: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be like the trade bump,

265
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 7: the trade speculation bump.

266
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 5: That's uh, maybe that's it.

267
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 7: Maybe that's what people are gonna say, Hey, can you

268
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 7: can you now do a trade for my team to

269
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 7: get this player going. That's what I want to say,

270
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 7: you happen instead of getting all the height tweets. Maybe

271
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 7: it'll be that I'll be like, quick, say something to

272
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 7: good about this, Say something that this guy get in front.

273
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: In this machine made exactly man, what a wild wild

274
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: I mean, look it, I was saying with people on Twitter,

275
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: you know, when he had like nine ten, people are like, oh,

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: the record's following Clay's fourteen's falling. I'm like, I'm not

277
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: so sure. I'm not so sure. I mean, he still

278
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 5: has a while to go here. And you the team

279
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: does start to play you differently, right, like you know

280
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 5: you've hit nine or ten threes on their head, they're

281
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: gonna switch up their defensive game plan on you a

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 5: little bit. And the magic did. But I think it

283
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: actually helped Van Vliet get to the fifty four to

284
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: beat the Rozans record. Because you said it, Lee, He's

285
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 5: not like, well, I'll just you know, I think it

286
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: also it sort of helped Slash hurt him, is a

287
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: weird way to put it, but like he's not like

288
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: six six sixty seven and could just shoot over guys too, right,

289
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: Like Van Vleet's threes have to with a little separation,

290
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: you know, have to come and transition or off a

291
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 5: nice high pick and roll or be wide open like

292
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 5: they were leaving him early on, like Trey said, but

293
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: when they took that away, it took a space away. Well,

294
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 5: he actually then was like, okay, I'll just start going

295
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 5: for layup fast year. He had like three layups at

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 5: the end, and that actually helped him. I think, you know,

297
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 5: sir Pastor Rosen's record instead of just trying to gun

298
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: away for a Danielle Marshall or a zach Lavine like

299
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: thirteen or of course Clay fourteen. Do you know what

300
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: I mean by that?

301
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think the fifty fourth point, I believe was

302
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 7: the one where he was so uncontested underneath. Carl Larry

303
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 7: put it to him and he almost fumbled it and

304
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 7: then just picked it up and laid it in because

305
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 7: again the Magic was so wary of him being out

306
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 7: there expecting him to go for that three point record,

307
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: that he just kind of walked into the paint and scored.

308
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 7: I mean the game was over anyway. I mean the

309
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 7: Raptors had a fairly big lead in this one. In fact,

310
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 7: I was watching with my eight year old son and

311
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 7: on one of the possessions they credited I think it

312
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 7: was on that one they actually credited the Magic with

313
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 7: a two pointer and they didn't correct it for like

314
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 7: like a minute or two, and he was watching because

315
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 7: it had the score a little bit closer, and he

316
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 7: was saying, they gave that lowry, that fred van Vliet

317
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 7: basket to the Magic And I was like really, And

318
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 7: I went back and I checked and he was right,

319
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 7: and I was like, this is interesting. They haven't checked it.

320
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 7: They haven't, they haven't updated, but eventually they did. So

321
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 7: he was out there watching and keeping an eye on

322
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: things and making sure that he was there. He can

323
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 7: say now, my eight year old who was born in

324
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 7: Toronto Raptors fan, he was watching the day Freddie van

325
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 7: Vliet set the Raptors record.

326
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: Wow, that's pretty pretty incredible. I hope you told them

327
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: the van Vleet story man, in all honesty, like, hey,

328
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 5: this guy wasn't drafted. Did you get all into it?

329
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: We were not, oh that deep. He's only just really started.

330
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: He has a life lesson. Man, that's an opportunity you

331
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: just blew there.

332
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, yeah, we're still learning the particulars of

333
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 7: the game. I mean, the thing is about it, Like now,

334
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 7: I think about what time this was last night and

335
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 7: he was still up late. Yeah, I mean that's the

336
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 7: thing he's found. He's found a loophole in Dad's bedtime routine.

337
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 7: It's like if I'm watching basketball with Dad and I'm

338
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 7: asking questions, Wow, there, and I think I can stay

339
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 7: up a little bit later. So he did. He stayed up,

340
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 7: and he was very excited. The thing is, you know,

341
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 7: he was born in Toronto, but he's lived in Atlanta

342
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 7: for like seven years. Still a Raptors man. You will

343
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 7: not shake him. He's a Raptor fan for life. So

344
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 7: that's good to know.

345
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: So at least one person's happy out there that we

346
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: started this show with Fred Vlee.

347
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: Yes, he was watching the highlights again this morning too

348
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 7: on the NBA's YouTube channel because they had the little

349
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 7: Fred package there, and he.

350
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: Was like, oh, this is great. You're shooting threes.

351
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 7: And the thing is, you know, it just looks so

352
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 7: easy when you are watching a guy out there just

353
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 7: shoot those threes. And I'm a little bit worried when

354
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 7: we go out into the driveway later on that you know,

355
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 7: like I said last week, he's going to want to

356
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 7: step back and just be shooting threes all after and

357
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 7: I say, no, you've got to.

358
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: Shon the layups.

359
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: Good point.

360
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 5: Good point. That's what put him over the top. Anything.

361
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: I mean, this could be look a good victory for

362
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: the Raps too. Of course they need all these w's

363
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 5: that can get right now because they started so slowly. Know,

364
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: you wonder, and it's it's not guaranteed, but you wonder

365
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: if one of these crazy performances sort of ignites them

366
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 5: a little bit and an offense that of course has

367
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 5: looked very stagnant at times. And there there always seems

368
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 5: to be within our Raptors game, you know, five six, seven.

369
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 5: Sometimes you have more minutes where the Raptors just look

370
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 5: like garbage offensively and just nothing looks easy. Maybe it

371
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 5: gets them going, maybe it does it. Lowry had a

372
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 5: triple double. Also in this game, a lot of the

373
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 5: the assists the variety of like just handed to Van

374
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 5: Vleet type things. So you gotta love that when guys

375
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 5: just hitting threes, let's just give them a ball. There's

376
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 5: an assist. Sweet awesome. But yeah, we'll see if it

377
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 5: gets the Raps going a little bit. But as that's

378
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: definitely a like whatever, like a bonding experience for the squad,

379
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: Like everybody loves Van Vleet, everybody, I mean there, there

380
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 5: they were. He talked about it like it was cool

381
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 5: to him that the guys on the team are more

382
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: excited than he was. And you actually believe that coming

383
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: from fand mvleet, So that's pretty cool. Anything else to

384
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: add from this winner? You want to get to the

385
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: game possibly of the year, let's go to it. Well, Skates,

386
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 5: hold on it real.

387
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 6: You said you're always going to remember where you were

388
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: when Fred Van Vliet got fifty four. Obviously mast is

389
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 6: going to remember. Do you remember where you were when

390
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 6: Charlie Villanueva scored forty eight?

391
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 5: I remember where you.

392
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 6: Were because it's crazy seeing Charlie Villanueva so high up

393
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: on the all time Raptors single game scoring list. When

394
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 6: you see that, when you see that, you see Terrence

395
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 6: Ross amongst the highest numbers ever obviously with fifty one,

396
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 6: Tomorrow fifty two, Vince Carter fifty one. Those are classes,

397
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 6: Those are big time scores. Those are all star guys.

398
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 6: Fred Van Vliet, Terrence Ross, Charlie Villanueva. That's the Corey

399
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 6: Brewer variety. For being quite honest, Fred Van Vliet's better

400
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: than Corey Brewer, but I mean they're still in the

401
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 6: same mix. Do you remember the Charlie villain away.

402
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 5: No, I don't know. I know him doing it. I

403
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 5: don't remember where I was. I don't know if I

404
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 5: was even watching it. Really, like a handful of games,

405
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 5: I actually remember what the heck I was doing where

406
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 5: I was. But this one for sure for sure, mainly

407
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 5: because it happened during a pandemic and I'll just go, oh, yeah,

408
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: I was at home watching home.

409
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 6: I love that one.

410
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 7: I remember correctly. Charlie was a rookie at the time,

411
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 7: and it was against the Milwaukee Bucks. I think it

412
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 7: was in Milwaukee, Okay, And I actually think I may,

413
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 7: I might not. Just I think it was a Sunday.

414
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 7: I think because.

415
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 6: Somebody the game started at three thirty pm. Yeah, it's

416
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 6: probably a Sunday on Sunday a lot.

417
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 7: Well, And I think because I was playing pickup ball

418
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 7: and I came home and it was like Charlie's on,

419
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 7: you know, Charlie's feeing away has got like forty. I

420
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 7: think it was a Sunday, So I do. I do

421
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 7: kind of remember.

422
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 5: Excellent, excellent, Okay, let's go to uh, let's go to

423
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 5: the other big game from last day, Kyrie Irving. He

424
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: scored thirty nine, as the Nets cooled off the Clips

425
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 5: with a one twenty four one twenty victory. Very very

426
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: fun gamely, what's a big takeaway?

427
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 7: This game wouldn't end man?

428
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: That Yeah, the.

429
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 6: Come on, that's your big takeaway? This awesome game last

430
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 6: and too long?

431
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 7: My god, you mean you.

432
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 5: Mean the Steve Nash decision when he started like, let's

433
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: foul here up three. It took a while.

434
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 7: It just felt like that last minute and a half

435
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 7: just sort it seemed to drag on and on. But

436
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 7: what I will say about this is the one weakness

437
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 7: that I have concerned for the Nets is their defense.

438
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 7: Everyone basically does because they don't defend. I thought last night,

439
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 7: particularly in that second half, they put in the effort defensively,

440
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 7: and you could tell it just made it harder for

441
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 7: the Clippers to score and coming down the stretch. I

442
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 7: thought it was that the Net like Kyrie Irving was great.

443
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 7: Of course, James Harden was great and Durant. You know,

444
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 7: I should never beat against Kevin Round. I know we'll

445
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: get to it in the pick them later, but of

446
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 7: course the Nets would come out on top with Kevin around.

447
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 7: But I just felt that the Nets when they really

448
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 7: show that they want to put in the effort defensively,

449
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 7: they can just make a huge difference to their team

450
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 7: and because they've got the offensive firepower. But if you

451
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: are going to concede baskets at the other end, like

452
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 7: we saw against the Wizards on Sunday night, teams can

453
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 7: score so easily against them and you just can't afford.

454
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 7: You can understand why they kind of took their foot

455
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 7: off the gas against the Wizards because it's the Wizards.

456
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 7: But against the Clippers, it was like, you're going to

457
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 7: get it's going to come back to haunt you. But

458
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 7: it didn't on this occasion. So the nets one and

459
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 7: after the game, Paul George, I had a good game,

460
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 7: was asked about whether or not, you know, he should

461
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 7: have gotten more free throws because he only had one

462
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 7: trip to the free throw line. So I dug into

463
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 7: it a little bit. I thought, I wonder if it

464
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 7: is disrespectful. I don't think it is, but Paul George

465
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 7: simply doesn't get to the free throw line enough for

466
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 7: a guy to say it was disrespectful. And his last

467
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 7: six games, he's only gotten to the free throw line

468
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 7: more than three times once. Yeah, he's had two trips,

469
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 7: two trips, three trips, two trips, and then one trip

470
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 7: last night. So I don't think that's really justified. He's

471
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 7: only averaging less than four free throw attempts per game. So,

472
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 7: Paul George, my point is, he's a superstar player, an

473
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 7: offensive juggernaut, an incredibly talented guy. Put yourself in a

474
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 7: position where the referees have to make more foul calls.

475
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 7: I think that's the problem. I think he just doesn't

476
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 7: sort of make enough situations where the referees are forced

477
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 7: to send him to the free throw line. So I

478
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 7: think I think it has to come back to him

479
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 7: a little bit more. I mean, and you know, not

480
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 7: saying that that was the reason they lost this game,

481
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 7: but I just sort of was surprised that he doesn't

482
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 7: get to the free throw line more for a guy

483
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 7: who's you know, one or one I on the AT

484
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 7: team in terms of their offensive output. I think he

485
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 7: needs to be a little bit more aggressive and just

486
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 7: Mike referees Mike those calls. I think that's the problem. Yeah,

487
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 7: he said it was disrespectful. The one free throw attempt.

488
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: Wasn't that him just doing basically what Perkins just did.

489
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 5: For our tweet, of the Night yesterday saying I had

490
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: a couple of double doubles trying to slip himself into

491
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: the mix there the twenty twelve finals. What I mean

492
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 5: by that is Brooklyn's star trio. They all go to

493
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: the line, you know in this game, sixteen or sixteen total,

494
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: I mean for those three. So it wasn't like they

495
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: were shooting twenty free throws here quiet eight for nine

496
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 5: and then Pg's like, hey, I'm also a star here too.

497
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: Oh I only got one? Where's my free throws? I

498
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 5: should be in the mix too. So I didn't take

499
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 5: too much from it in watching the game. I didn't

500
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: think he was like hosed with a bad call or

501
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: anything like that. Lee. So yeah, I think that's just

502
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 5: classic Paul George saying hey, hey, hey, well what about me?

503
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 5: Hey what about hey guys, I'm a superstar two of

504
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 5: these five guys out here. But anyway, what'd you think

505
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 5: Tray of that blitz, especially that the nets went on

506
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 5: like that thirteen oh run. I think it was sort

507
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: of you know, gave them the lead. I know it

508
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 5: got close at the end, It got a little dicey

509
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: at the end for them, but that was special where

510
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: Durant and then Kyrie Cooking, and then I think it

511
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: was hard and cap it off with that step back three. Right.

512
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 6: Oh, that was some hot stuff right there, Skeets. And

513
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 6: that's why to me, the Nets are the favorite in

514
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 6: the Eastern Conference because they got three guys that can

515
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 6: go out and score twenty in the fourth quarter anytime.

516
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 6: Even Paul George said it felt like they were just

517
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 6: taking turns making shots on us, and that's exactly what

518
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 6: the Nets were doing. The defense. Yeah, Lee, I can

519
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 6: understand why people still think that that's going to be

520
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 6: a concern, but I don't because I saw this incredible

521
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 6: stat from John Schumann last night. The kind of stat

522
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 6: you see and you know this is going to be

523
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 6: on every podcast tomorrow. The Nets are nine and three

524
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 6: versus teams over five hundred, four and six versus teams

525
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 6: under five hundred. Obviously, they're playing down to their competition.

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: They're happy to let the Wizard score one hundred and

527
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 6: fifty points, but they know they got to play defense

528
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 6: against the team like the Cliff to beat him. They

529
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 6: were engaged last night. Kyrie Irving basically said that saying,

530
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 6: we know this is a team that we could run

531
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 6: into down the line saying we're going to be in

532
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 6: the finals. Are you going to be there? They know

533
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 6: they had to play hard, They know they had to

534
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: actually be engaged on the defensive end. They're not just

535
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 6: going to be able to outscore a Clippers team who

536
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 6: plays defense and has been a pretty solid offensive team

537
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 6: as well. So to me, it seems like the Nets

538
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 6: are just going to play harder when they play against

539
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 6: good teams. No surprise when you've got those three guys

540
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 6: as your stars. They were locked in last night. Harden

541
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 6: looking the most like a point guard I think he

542
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 6: ever has playing with the Nets. He's bringing the ball up,

543
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 6: he's facilitating everything, and then he's getting buckets when they

544
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 6: need him to get buckets. I thought it was an

545
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 6: interesting discussion with Dwayne Wade and Candae Parker talking about

546
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 6: the difference between who do you want taking the last

547
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: shot versus who do you want orchestrating things down the stretch,

548
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 6: because it does feel like the Nets are probably at

549
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 6: their most dangerous when Harden is orchestrating things for the

550
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 6: last three or four minutes of the game, getting Katie

551
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 6: and Kyrie involved, and then if you need an absolute bucket,

552
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 6: you can just give it to KD who's going to

553
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 6: be able to guard him. A cheat code is what

554
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 6: can this? Parker keeps calling them, and that's exactly what

555
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 6: it is. Then that's our look in tough.

556
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, they look great. There's no doubt. I got that

557
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: back going with tasks. I say they don't get to

558
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 5: the finals. He took that they would after the hard

559
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 5: and trade we made that they look good. I mean

560
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 5: they just I mean when Kevin Durant, you're right, it

561
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: is like just the ultimate release valve. You're like, Okay,

562
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: just go get us too, get us a great shot. Okay,

563
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: no problem, I'll get us a good looking shot. It

564
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: might go in. And then yeah, when Kyrie's cooking as well,

565
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 5: I mean it's it's unbelievable yet some incredible layups. I

566
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: mean to the point now you don't even get that

567
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: excited about them, because Kyrie does like these two or

568
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: three like insane sort of jelly like layups, like weird

569
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 5: rolls on them or like flips off the other side

570
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 5: of the backboard like underneath. He does it like two

571
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: or three times a game. But I'm glad you're about

572
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 5: up the Kyrie quote their Trey because it was made

573
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 5: me think about something you sort of said, like he

574
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 5: alluded to after the game, like yeah, well if we

575
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 5: see them again type of thing, like we'll see him

576
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 5: in the finals, right, sort of like stamping the Nets

577
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: to the finals. Like that's obviously their aspirations, and that

578
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: makes sense because they got all these stars. But I

579
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 5: think it's a little weird, especially when you pair it

580
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 5: with they good against great teams down to the you know,

581
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 5: the competition when they play subpar teams. We sort of

582
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 5: railed on the Clippers last year for like carrying themselves

583
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 5: like they had already won a title when you're like, you,

584
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: guys haven't really done anything yet, but they sort of

585
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: had that sort of vibe to them. The Nets are

586
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 5: doing that now too, But I just I'm like, is

587
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 5: it the same? Is it different? Because of course Katie

588
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 5: and Kyrie have already won, though quite Leonard had already won,

589
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 5: but he's a different type of leader. Maybe I don't know.

590
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: It's just like, is there any concern that they could

591
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 5: be doing a little bit what the Clippers did? And

592
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 5: we got on them for last year like hey, you're

593
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 5: pretending you've already want a chip without having actually even

594
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 5: gone to the finals here with this squad, You know

595
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 5: what I mean? Is that fair or is it completely

596
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: different because of the makeup of the team.

597
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 6: I think it's totally fair. The difference I would say

598
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 6: is that the Clippers all through last season were resting guys,

599
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 6: which the Nets have certainly done, and the resting was

600
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 6: proving to be a problem. You heard comments coming out

601
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 6: of the locker room from Montrez Harral it just didn't

602
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 6: look like they were completely connected on the court. I

603
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 6: don't think that's the case with the Nets right now.

604
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 6: They look like they are loving playing alongside each other.

605
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 6: And yeah, if they end up blowing a three to

606
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 6: one lead to the Sixers in the playoffs, or are we

607
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 6: going to look back and say, maybe you should have

608
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 6: played harder against the Wizards in January. I guess that's

609
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 6: certainly possible. But right now they're clicking and they're still

610
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 6: going to get better. They still have moves to make right.

611
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 6: They're still going to figure out somebody who's going to

612
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 6: help a little bit on the glass. They're going to

613
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 6: figure out somebody who's going to be able to be

614
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 6: a wing defender. Maybe that's Amn Schumpert. Whenever he gets

615
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 6: totally ready to be playing again. I'm personally not worried

616
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 6: about the Nets. I don't think the chemistry is going

617
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 6: to be a problem. It feels like James Harden and

618
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving are smilier than they've been for the past

619
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 6: three seasons. I'm loving what I'm seeing from Brooklyn, and.

620
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 7: I think that a lot of that comes down, though,

621
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 7: to the different leadership styles of Kevin Durant versus Kawhi

622
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 7: Leonard last year in LA I just feel that Kevin

623
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 7: Durant just carries that weight around with him where it's like,

624
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 7: you know, I'm not going to let things get too

625
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 7: crazy here. You know, He's the leader, whereas I think

626
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 7: Kawhi was more focused on himself and his own you know, game,

627
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 7: in his own regime and taking those games off when

628
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 7: he wanted to. I think Kevin Drant's just not like that,

629
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 7: even though he's obviously missed a couple of games here

630
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 7: with rest and that as well, that that's going to

631
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 7: happen because he's coming off the Achilles injuries. But it

632
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 7: just feels to me that Kevin Durant, as the leader

633
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 7: of that locker room, things are a little bit more

634
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 7: in control and they won't get too far ahead of themselves,

635
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 7: you know, So that that's just how it feels different.

636
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: I mean, they're not you know, they're not a finished

637
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 7: product yet. They still do have you know, one or

638
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: two weaknesses there. But as long as he's on the court,

639
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 7: it feels like they can beat any other team. It

640
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 7: really does.

641
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 4: It does.

642
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 7: It certainly doesn't feel like there's a better team in

643
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 7: the Eastern Conference anyway than the Nets.

644
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nets are I believe not to one up Schumann

645
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 5: here with his nine and three stat versus five hundred

646
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: plus teams. I think they're six and zero on national

647
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 5: TV too. They haven't even lost. Yeah, I think I

648
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 5: saw that from Nets Daily where Schumann used to work.

649
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: I think, boy, there so all just that's coming out

650
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 5: of Jersey these days. I'm just chugging it out there.

651
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 5: You said it got a little long in the tooth

652
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 5: at the end there, Leary, You're not wrong. I mean

653
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 5: to take a while, but because it almost backfire, I thought,

654
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 5: you know Nash's strategy, fine, do the old foul up three.

655
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 5: They put Kawhi on the line, and then there were

656
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 5: some buckets made, and then I think it was the

657
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 5: Clippers throwing it ahead. But Toom got fouled right at

658
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: around mid court with about I don't know, there's like

659
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 5: three seconds to go, and there was. After you saw

660
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 5: the replay, you're like, Okay, it's no big deal. But

661
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: there was some worry that it was going to be

662
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 5: a clear path foul. Yeah, and you know, they took

663
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: a look at it, and in the end, of course

664
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: it was not, so it didn't matter. But are you

665
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: a fanly? I guess I wanted to get to this.

666
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 5: Are you a fan of the fouling? When you're up three,

667
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 5: just follow the other team, don't let them take a

668
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 5: three point shot. Just put them on the line and

669
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 5: have trust in your free throw shooters and your indoubting abilities,

670
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: which backfired against the Wizards obviously. What do you.

671
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 7: Think, Yeah, I think you don't want to give that

672
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 7: other team a chance just to get a three pointer rout.

673
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 7: We've just seen so many crazy shots, so many times

674
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 7: that the other team can hit it, So yeah, put

675
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 7: him to the free throw line if you can't get

676
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 7: them to have the situation where they can kind of

677
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 7: hit one and then potentially miss the other one and

678
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 7: try to get the three points made up that way,

679
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 7: I mean, it.

680
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: Wasn't that hilarious with Bia tried to hit the first one, Yeah,

681
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 5: but he missed, and then he tried to miss the

682
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 5: second one.

683
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 7: And before that, Jeff Green could have basically sealed the

684
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 7: game anyway because he had that that that where he

685
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 7: was down the other end of the court and he

686
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 7: put the ball in. I can't think it was Reggie

687
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 7: Jackson who found him sort of should have wrapped him up, didn't.

688
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 7: Jeff Green hits it, then goes the free throw line,

689
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 7: he misses, and then and then yeah, battoom. He couldn't

690
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 7: hit the first and then potentially miss the second. But yeah, yeah,

691
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 7: I just would never give the other team a chance

692
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 7: to even get that three pointer off, especially when he

693
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 7: got Paul George who just hit a crazy three from

694
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 7: the corner prior to that as well. That that made

695
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 7: it a one point game. You know, Kawhi hit some

696
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 7: big shots in his career and Maris as well. And

697
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 7: if you got someone like Reggie Jackson, if one of

698
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 7: those guys is open and they can get a three off,

699
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 7: you don't want that afe you opposition, just just anyone

700
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 7: put them to the free throw line and try to

701
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 7: have them make that crazy situation of missing a free

702
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 7: throw and then somehow getting the two, because that's far

703
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 7: less likely to happen.

704
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why we need to have those extra long

705
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 6: last two minutes.

706
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 5: Lee.

707
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 6: You got to see the growth from Steve Nash, and

708
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 6: I'm not really joking here. You look at the Wizards game.

709
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 6: They didn't foul up three when they easily could up.

710
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 6: They didn't advance the ball with a timeout, so the

711
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 6: Wizards had a good shot when Garrison Matthews gets the steal.

712
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 6: Both of those things changed last night. And then Steve Nash,

713
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 6: it seems like he's had something to do with this.

714
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 6: Jeff Green streaking down the courtway and the like Harden

715
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 6: and who is at Joe Harris are kind of like

716
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 6: deciding who's gonna take out the ball. We're all fool

717
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 6: and stuff. It reminds me of our coach seventh grade

718
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 6: shout out mister Buck. He put in a play that

719
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 6: all these dumb coaches had in the nineties where somebody

720
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 6: would go and start barking on the like on the ground.

721
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 6: You're like, oh, look at that dumb dumb barking over there.

722
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 6: Suddenly you get a layup underneath the hoop. This was

723
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: almost the NBA version of that. Steve Nash, he's becoming

724
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 6: a coach. I do love that. Fifteen years later, he's saying,

725
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 6: Mike D'Antoni, I know me and you we were not

726
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 6: able to win a title doing all offense, no defense.

727
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 6: But we're going for it again. We're going for it again.

728
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 6: And now I'm calling timeouts at the end of the game.

729
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 5: I actually love I love the Nets decision to foul

730
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: if they're up three. I love that idea because you

731
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 5: don't really play defense as it is, so I trust

732
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 5: in your three superstars, Harden, Kadi, and Kyrie, who are

733
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 5: all great free throw shooters. And if Joe Harris is

734
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: out there, I mean that's basically guaranteed money too, Like

735
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 5: I'll take those ods. I like that, so do it

736
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: if they get aury situation.

737
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 7: Ninety four percent of the line this season, which is incredible.

738
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 7: But you know, I just wondered if vivek Ranadiv was

739
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 7: watching last night when Jeff Green was just hanging down

740
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 7: the other end there, and also I was trying to

741
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 7: workshop some sort of offside joke in there. You know,

742
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 7: Steve Nash knows a big soccer guy got asked about

743
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 7: it during the broadcast, and I was gonna say, it's

744
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 7: a great move, but surely Steve Nash knows that's offside.

745
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 5: But I couldn't quite.

746
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 7: I couldn't quite get the wording right, so I left

747
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 7: it out. But there's something there. Anyway, I'll think about

748
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 7: it for next game. If you've got any ideas, let

749
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 7: me know.

750
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 5: Wow, ware to show restraint there. Most people just fire

751
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 5: off whatever tweet.

752
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: They have in the r Yeah.

753
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 5: I just couldn't quite. I couldn't quite bridge the two sports.

754
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 7: To make it perfect. You know what I'm saying. You know, like,

755
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 7: great move, but surely Nash knows that's off side. You know,

756
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 7: he could have cost his team a possession.

757
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 5: But maybe maybe a var joke in there. I don't know.

758
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, Okay, let's.

759
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 5: Just quickly, I'll hit you with the other games from

760
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: last night, Trey, tell me if there's anything that jumped

761
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 5: out to you. The Pacers top Memphis one thirty four

762
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 5: one sixteen. They snapped the Grizzlies seven game win streak,

763
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 5: which had basically went back a month because the Grizzlies

764
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 5: had a couple of weeks off there. Uh, Lillard scored

765
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 5: thirty two to lead the short handed Blazers past the

766
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 5: Wizards one thirty two one. Jazz survived a late rally,

767
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 5: they beat the Pistons one seventeen, one oh five, and finally,

768
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 5: in the old Nightcap, Tatum and the Celtics held off

769
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 5: Curry and the Warriors one eleven one. Seven of those

770
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 5: four games, is there one or two that year you

771
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: got something you want to share with the people.

772
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 6: Well, I did enjoy that last game Celtics versus Warriors.

773
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 6: Steph was awesome, almost pulled out a win single handedly,

774
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: But wins start at the rim. No, James Wiseman for

775
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 6: the Warriors. Come on, Looney rolled an ankle and it

776
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 6: was kind of a rap after there. I thought, twenty

777
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 6: points in the paint in the second half for the Celtics,

778
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 6: ten of those were Jalen Brown. The guy just has

779
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 6: a great sense for the moment. He knows when to

780
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: assert his will. He had a big time drive for

781
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 6: a dunk about four minutes left that kind of felt

782
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 6: like the dagger to me. Jason Tatum was great again

783
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 6: twenty seven nine and three four threes. I really like

784
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 6: the TMT discussion they had about him. At half, Dwayne

785
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 6: Wade explaining exactly how Jason Tatum can get to the

786
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 6: next level, how he can improve his playmaking, which you know,

787
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 6: his is this percentage has been going up, up, up,

788
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 6: up up. He's averaging a career high and assists. He

789
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 6: is getting better on at playmaking.

790
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

791
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 6: I just thought, you know, the Celtics, it was almost

792
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 6: a business like win. They had to get this win,

793
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 6: especially when there was nobody inside for the Warriors. But

794
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 6: they went out there and they did it, and you know,

795
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 6: shout out to TNT. We were crushing them when Shaq

796
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 6: was trashing Donovan Mitchell. I thought Dwayne Wade and Candae

797
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 6: Parker were awesome last night. And I enjoyed Jim jaf

798
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: on this call as well. He talked about Andrew Wiggins

799
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 6: playing mindless basketball and he meant it as a good thing.

800
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was right there with him.

801
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 6: This was a fun one to stay up for.

802
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good, good call. Jim Jackson. I like

803
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: him on the call. And Candae is like one of

804
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: the best studio analysts, and Wade is you know, fairly

805
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 5: new at it, and I think he is getting better

806
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 5: and better. They at least have a joy for the game,

807
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 5: which Wow, turns out it helps it makes him for

808
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 5: a more enjoyable watch or listen. Anything to add from

809
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 5: any of those games lately.

810
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 7: Does Jim Jackson, I mean to see a singer. He's

811
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 7: got an incredible voice.

812
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 5: I think he got a better voice Bill Kennedy or

813
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 5: Jim Jackson.

814
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 7: Jim, I think Jim, Yeah, yeah, I think Billy does.

815
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 7: I think you have how don't know? Jim to me

816
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 7: is like a real krooner out there. You know, it

817
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 7: sounds like he could easily just pick up the mIRC

818
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 7: and just start singing a song.

819
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 5: He's got a credible voice. That's the big takeaway from those.

820
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 7: The one big takeaway from the game, you know, great

821
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 7: great win there from the Celtics is Campbell Walker moving well.

822
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 7: I think is just so important for the Celtics. And

823
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 7: you know he's struggled a little bit with injury this season,

824
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 7: but when he's out there and he hit those couple

825
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 7: of those step backs, that gigantic step back that you

826
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 7: can see it's coming, but he can still do it,

827
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 7: and he shook off Draymond Green there too late last night.

828
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just incredible how he's still able to

829
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 7: get to that spot so efficiently when he kind of

830
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 7: builds up to it, you know, like you would sort

831
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 7: of almost think like stay with him, just wait for

832
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 7: that step back and move with him. But he can

833
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 7: still get rid of his defender pretty easily. So I

834
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 7: hope he can stay healthy and stay on the court

835
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 7: because he's a fun guy to watch.

836
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 5: Good win from the Celtics there and the Jazz I

837
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 5: think now the number one team in the league after

838
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 5: the Clippers lost that last night. So percentage, why is

839
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 5: the Jazz, you know, rallying or bouncing back from a loss.

840
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: Got a victory on some pistons. I know it's the

841
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 5: lowly pistons, but good stuff. And you know Piecers too

842
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 5: needed sort of a victory there against the Griz, all.

843
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,479
Speaker 6: Right, And hey, how about those Blazers big time dunk

844
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 6: by Damian Lillard late. Yeah, then here's what I want

845
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 6: to ask you, Lee, because I asked the others on

846
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: Twitter last night. He had the big dunk and he

847
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 6: started looking at his rate risks. You know, Dame time.

848
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 6: It's a celebration he's had in the past. Dame time.

849
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 6: He's looking at his right wrist, he's a right handed guy,

850
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 6: which would mean very weird that he's wearing his watch

851
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 6: on his right hand. That's an unusual move. I went

852
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 6: back and watched the old Lollard time celebrations when he's

853
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 6: tapping on his wrist, he taps on his left wrist.

854
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 6: Which hand does he wear his watch on? I need

855
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 6: to know this. If he's he's one of these people.

856
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 5: He's one of these people that switches it up. You know,

857
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 5: there are there are people in this world like my

858
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 5: buddy grish Well sleep on the on the you know,

859
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 5: when he when he was in a in a marriage,

860
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: he would sleep on the left side of the bed

861
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 5: and on the right side of the bed. They would

862
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 5: switch it up. That's mind boggling.

863
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 6: That is crazy.

864
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: I could never wrap my head around that. I'm like,

865
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 5: what do you mean you actually sleep on the left

866
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 5: side of the bed sometimes and then on the right side.

867
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 5: You guys swap That's amazing to me. But so maybe

868
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 5: it's a it's a watch thing here with Lillard Lely.

869
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it, because uh, you know it

870
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 7: is your left wrist is the traditional place to wear

871
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 7: I mean, it's not a rule, it's not a lull,

872
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 7: but that's generally where people put it. So, yeah, I

873
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 7: you know, when Trey and I was sort of chatting

874
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 7: on Twitter last night, I say, hmm, I'm not really

875
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 7: sure why he would do that other than just to

876
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 7: continue taunting Russell Westbrook because it seems as though Damon

877
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 7: Lillard's always got the better of Russell Westbrook. He had

878
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 7: that big dunk and then of course the huge step

879
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 7: back three. Westbrook had a decent game too, actually, but

880
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 7: it just feels like Lillard always gets the upper hand here.

881
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 7: So maybe he's just tawny, but he's always ready to

882
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 7: celebrate or to pull it out there too. After he

883
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 7: hit that monster step back, he's just sort of like,

884
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 7: I'm ready. So maybe he's got a fitbit or something

885
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 7: that he wears.

886
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 5: You know, he's got a.

887
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 6: Watch on one hand, and then sometimes if he has

888
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 6: a big shout, he's like how many steps?

889
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, maybe maybe I want to know.

890
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 5: I guess the only other thing I can think of too, is,

891
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 5: like you said, Trey, like back in the day, he

892
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 5: would do it more of a tapping right, like like

893
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: I look at my watch, so that he's tapping is

894
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 5: left right, So it's actually like as if the object

895
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 5: is there, it makes more sense it would be on

896
00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 5: his left if he's right kind a guy. But now

897
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 5: him just the miming of looking at a fake watch.

898
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: Maybe I was just thinking, would I just do like,

899
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 5: would I go right hand even though I wear my

900
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 5: watch on my left hand? You know, maybe there's something there.

901
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 5: It's like the actual action of the tapping to the

902
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 5: miming of looking at it, that you would just go

903
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 5: right hand.

904
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 6: We got to put in a word that lamar heard

905
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 6: to get the final info. Or I guess we could

906
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 6: probably like zoom in on some pictures of a little

907
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 6: walking into the arena. Surely he's got a watch on

908
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 6: in some of these.

909
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 5: I think you just made up a new segment. Yeah yeah,

910
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 5: maybe they already do that, actually the pla.

911
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe yeah, maybe little should just wear a watch

912
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 7: one game?

913
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 6: Why not?

914
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 5: It's illegal?

915
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 7: I mean tennis plays way what they do?

916
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, well, I mean that'd be I can't hurt

917
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 5: the other person, No, I would be. I didn't was

918
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 5: not a fan. You know, if you ever were in

919
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 5: a pickup run and some guy would keep his watch

920
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 5: on or a ring even like that, it's it's can

921
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 5: be dangerous.

922
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 6: You know.

923
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,479
Speaker 5: Sure, fingers can.

924
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 7: Get caught, like I've broken more than one. Like god,

925
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,920

926
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 7: fingers get caught and.

00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 6: Then they get up hit at you.

928
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 7: Oh you know, what do you do?

Speaker 7: Just take it off, man? I mean as if I'm there,

Speaker 7: like I'm gonna just like fuck it off him, now,

00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 7: you know what I mean? Like it happens, Just get

Speaker 5: No, you're not encourage wearing a watch while playing ball.

935
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 5: All right. We got lots more here still on this one,

936
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 5: but quick word from our sponsors, Trey, we forgot about

937
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 5: V Day. Chris Bouchet's going for fifty V Day man

00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 5: Saint Patrick's Day explosion. Yeah, totally forgot about that one.

940
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 6: I mean, if they show up wearing red uniforms on

941
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 6: Valentine's Day, you can lock a career high end for somebody.

942
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, So it's Wednesday, We're gonna be hitting the beach.

943
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 5: As I said off the top of the show. Later

944
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 5: he can join us live on YouTube around three pm

945
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 5: Eastern or you can just listen to the podcast later.

946
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 5: Always a blast you guys, send in your questions and comments.

947
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 5: But to get us in the mood, I thought we would,

948
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 5: uh well, hit beach early, set up our umbrella, you know,

949
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 5: get our towels down and stuff like that for task

950
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 5: to arrive a little bit later. You know, just get

951
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: the whole thing set up. So let's have a question

952
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 5: or two. Let's hit the beach quickly. Yeah, we're on

953
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 5: the beach here again, officially on the beach later today

954
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 5: on Wednesday. I'm actually calling an audible here like I'm

955
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl, Like I'm Tom Brady or Patrick

956
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 5: Mahomes who calls more audibles Tray, I'm guessing Brady, but

957
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: I have no idea. Maybe Mahomes is calling a lot

958
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 5: at the line. But I'm gonna save this longer one

959
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 5: that we have a great one from Wilkerson about an

960
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 5: Offensive Player of the Year award. I'm gonna save it.

961
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 5: We're gonna wear you, put it in our pocket and

962
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 5: get to it later in the week because I think

963
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 5: it will take a little while to actually really break down.

964
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 5: So Lee, we're gonna get to your Bradley Beal trade

965
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 5: that you've teased about the bulls, but we have one question.

966
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 5: Because we're on the beach, we gotta ask a question. Hi, boys,

967
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 5: I think I have the last part of the no

968
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 5: dunks trifecta in a game Wedgie, Big Beef's the rebounds

969
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 5: and Lonely Perfection. That's a working title, lonely perfection. What

970
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 5: is that? It's when someone makes ten or more free

971
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 5: throws in a game without a miss, being perfect from

972
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 5: the loneliest spot on the court. Lee could give practice

973
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 5: your free throw kids at the end of the segment

974
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 5: or something like that. This idea from Hidar, Now, this

975
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 5: was this no dunks trifecta. I think it came up

976
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 5: in NBA Happy Hour right last week. What will be

977
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 5: the three things in a game? So what do you think, Lee?

978
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 5: We know the Wedgies one, we know Big Beef, twenty

979
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 5: rebounds is the other one? This third one from Hydar

980
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 5: Lonely perfection ten free throws without a miss out a game.

981
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 6: What do you think?

982
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 7: I think it's a great idea, but I'm actually going

983
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 7: to lower the stand up a little bit because I believe,

984
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 7: well I believe you only need to make like eight

985
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 7: free throws in a game to be perfect because if

986
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 7: you mate. Yeah, but listen, if you were to go

987
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 7: eight out of ten from the line, you'd be eighty percent.

988
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 7: And eighty percent is like where you should be in

989
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 7: the NBA as a free throw shooter. So if you

990
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 7: can make eight, you don't have to go eight of ten.

991
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, if you can make eight, then that

992
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 7: is lonely perfection because then you're at the threshold where

993
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 7: you can afford.

994
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 5: But hold on eat for eat or eat for ten.

995
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 7: No, it's like if you can get eight for eight

996
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 7: to start with, right.

997
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 5: Rather, pruction has to be a part of this. Yeah,

998
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 5: that's what I'm saying.

999
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 7: But by the time you get to eight for eight,

1000
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 7: then you're at the threshold where even if you miss

1001
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 7: the next two, you're still at eighty percent, which is

1002
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 7: the benchmark of what every NBA player should be at

1003
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 7: the free throw line.

1004
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: But we're not celebrating eighty percent, I know, but I'm

1005
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 5: saying that.

1006
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 7: I'm saying, if you make eight for eight, right, yes,

1007
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 7: that is perfection on the ninth okay, right, okay.

1008
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 5: But then you but you then you made it sound

1009
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 5: like if you miss number nine, don't worry. We'll still

1010
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 5: give you a long.

1011
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 7: Yeah you won't, you won't get the lonely perfection, but

1012
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 7: you'll at least be at at the threshold, which I think,

1013
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 7: you know, every NBA player should be at eighty percent?

1014
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 5: You know, Okay, okay, So what do you think Tray

1015
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 5: of Heidar's you know proposal here?

1016
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 6: Well, I'm with mellow Tron on this one. Eight of

1017
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 6: eight is not snatching anybody's chain on the court. Come on,

1018
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 6: May eight for eight. At least get me a ten

1019
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 6: for ten lonely perfection. It sounds it actually sounds pretty good.

1020
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 6: I like that. I like the name of it. But

1021
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 6: I think we just need to give this a little

1022
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 6: bit of time here. Big Beef just started one month ago.

1023
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 6: The Wedgie has been around for seven years. Who knows

1024
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 6: what the next thing is gonna be. Who knows if

1025
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 6: Big Beef has the staying power of the Weggie. The

1026
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 6: more and more I think about it, the Weggie is

1027
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 6: our greatest contribution to basketball. It's like inventing the word swish.

1028
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 6: It's pretty impressive stuff. Is Big Beef as good as Weggie?

1029
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 6: Not yet, but maybe it will be in seven years.

1030
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 6: And maybe in seven years we find the perfect thing

1031
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 6: to the trifecta. But I'm loving people sending in their ideas.

1032
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 6: Apparently we're gonna start getting free throw highlights now. Zach

1033
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 6: low our buddy is tracking close out highlights.

1034
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 5: I shared one last night Tray.

1035
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 6: Oh that was a nice close That nice close out.

1036
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 5: Man.

1037
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 6: I'm like, this is getting ridiculous. We're gonna be tracking

1038
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 6: every single thing. I'm surprised there's not a screen assists

1039
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 6: highlight package from the Utah Jazz, But I don't know.

1040
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 6: It does feel to me like we've got a nice

1041
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 6: two here in the Wedgie and the Big Beef. The

1042
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 6: VSP feels like the natural third one to me. But

1043
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 6: there's always a lot of debate about whether or not

1044
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 6: a play is too sexy solid enough. You know, sometimes

1045
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 6: a guy I'll finish with a soft dunkey. It's like, okay,

1046
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 6: it's a dunkey. It would have been nice if it's

1047
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 6: a lefty layup. But it was a softy, so I

1048
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 6: guess it's solid.

1049
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 7: If it's not a very solid plight, it's a heads

1050
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 7: up highlight of the Night's there you go?

1051
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 5: Are you ripping packs tomorrow on Thursday?

1052
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 7: No, but I'm looking forward to seeing some guy from

1053
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 7: a former NBA player and a boat soon popping lips.

1054
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 5: It's too good. Yeah, I don't mind this free throws.

1055
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 5: I love it because we know Lee loves the free throw,

1056
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: so I like that link to the show. But I

1057
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 5: also just like we already have the rebounds. We already

1058
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 5: have like a stat based one, you know what I mean?

1059
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 5: And like, do we want another one for the trifecta

1060
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 5: because like, obviously the wedgie is not showing up in

1061
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 5: the box score. Maybe I don't know, Like also, can

1062
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 5: somebody look up like how how common or rare? I

1063
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 5: guess as a better way to put it is like

1064
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 5: someone going perfect at the line with ten free throws

1065
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 5: in a game, Like I know that happens, but I

1066
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 5: can't imagine it's happened. How many times this season? Has

1067
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 5: it happened? Like three? Maybe, which is good. I'm not

1068
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 5: saying that's bad. I want something that's pretty rare. I

1069
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 5: don't want it to happen every second game. But if

1070
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 5: you look that up, Lelia, I would I would love

1071
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 5: to know that.

1072
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 7: I'm not sure, Hey, you would sort of get so

1073
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 7: let me say.

1074
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 6: That I'm deep into the stat head right now. So

1075
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 6: we'll have an answer and.

1076
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah we can. We can always circle back

1077
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 5: to that. Yeah. So if you have another idea though,

1078
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 5: for the No Dunks trifecto, let us know right now.

1079
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 5: Lonely Perfection, it's it's in play. It's it's not a

1080
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 5: bad one. It's a great name. That's another part. You

1081
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 5: gotta take a nice name for it. I think it's

1082
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 5: like hell, when we used to come up for segments

1083
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 5: on the show, we came up with the name first,

1084
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 5: and then whatever the heck it was, showed it to Madio.

1085
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 5: So you need to come up with like a nice

1086
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 5: catchy thing Wedgie's Big Beef. Lonely Perfection.

1087
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 6: Wow, this seems ridiculous. Okay, talk to me eighty two

1088
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 6: times last year somebody went at least ten of ten

1089
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 6: from the line. Eighty two times. We're talking ten plus

1090
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 6: the best game. What am I seeing here? It's incredible

1091
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 6: James Harden twenty four for twenty four. Wow, that's a

1092
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 6: double Lonely Perfection. What does it mean? Incredible stuff? I

1093
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 6: mean eighty two times, that's too often. I'm honestly shocked

1094
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 6: that it happened so often. The guys are going ten

1095
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 6: to ten for the.

1096
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 5: Line Yeah, that's I would not have guessed it. I

1097
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 5: was gonna guess like maybe fifty, thinking that was gonna

1098
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 5: be on the high end too. My guess, wow eighty

1099
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 5: two times? Look at that. Okay, well again, get your

1100
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,919
Speaker 5: ideas in love it, love it so far though, Hider,

1101
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 5: I really appreciate the email. Keep them coming, guys, No

1102
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 5: dunks at the Athletic dot Com. Okay, let's do the

1103
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 5: Bill traded lily. You know again, we're going to inspire

1104
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 5: somebody on the Bulls because we inspired Fred van Vliet

1105
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 5: to go for a franchise record fifty four after we

1106
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 5: had him traded to the Wizards yesterday for Bill in

1107
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 5: some sort of package. So what do you got? What

1108
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 5: do you got for us?

1109
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 7: Okay, so yeah, we're trying to get him to the Bulls.

1110
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 7: This one's great because it's not going to happen at all.

1111
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 7: Bit but the salaries obviously make it so easy with Otto,

1112
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 7: Porter Junior and Bradley Beal. But if you're the Wizards,

1113
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 7: if you're the Wizards, you're going to say no, give

1114
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 7: us at least Zach Lavine. We don't want Otto back here.

1115
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 7: Who do you think is older out of Bradley Beal

1116
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 7: and Otto Porter.

1117
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 5: Oh God, I went, I don't know, Cope it's outtle Porter,

1118
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 5: but I'm sure it's not.

1119
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 7: Otto Porter was born on June the third, nineteen ninety three, okay,

1120
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 7: and Bradley Beal was born June twenty eighth, nineteen ninety three.

1121
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

1122
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 7: Wow, But Bradley Bell was drafted before Otto Porter a

1123
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 7: year before, which is interesting. But I feels to me

1124
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 7: like one of those guys who's been around the league

1125
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 7: for way longer. Yeah, it just feels like it's like

1126
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 7: it's like that guy's in his like twelfth season already.

1127
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 7: It just feels like that he altill.

1128
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 5: Just looks all too Yeah yeah actually this year.

1129
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 7: Yeah right yeah yeah. So now so you know, for

1130
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 7: today's trade, it was like, wow, sweet, I'm just gonna

1131
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna take the low hanging fruit and say,

1132
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 7: let's just trade Porter for Bal and then the do it.

1133
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 5: Then I'm in. I'm the Bulls, and the Bulls have.

1134
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 7: To give up a couple of first rounders to make

1135
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 7: it happen.

1136
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 5: But how many there we go?

1137
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1138
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 5: I mean the Bulls have all theirs, right, I believe.

1139
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 7: Yes, I do, Yeah, I mean three three first rounders.

1140
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 5: If you're the wiz couple of swaps three and three

1141
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 5: and two swaps, what do you say.

1142
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 6: Tree, I'm in Okay, we're still and the balls have

1143
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 6: been drafting in the top ten for the past four seasons.

1144
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 6: Let's stop drafting guys and get some real all stars

1145
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 6: in here.

1146
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 5: That's not a bad idea, Okay.

1147
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 7: Badly Well, I would like to see Levine and Bill

1148
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 7: how they would work together, because you know, Levigne's like

1149
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 7: game has really extended out. You know, he can shoot

1150
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 7: that three, now shoot it with confidence obviously. I mean

1151
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 7: he's become a very consistent shooter. So would that back court?

1152
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 5: Would that? Would that work?

1153
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 2: Souse?

1154
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 7: I think athletically it'd be great to have Levin next

1155
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 7: to someone like Bill. He can get inside still, I

1156
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 7: can throw him those oops, he can drive, he can cut,

1157
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 7: and you've got to defend you know, you got to

1158
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 7: defend him.

1159
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 5: On the perimeter too.

1160
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 7: So it's an interesting, intriguing match up there. And of course,

1161
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 7: as Trey mentioned yesterday, Billy Donovan was Beale's coach in Florida,

1162
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 7: so you know it'd be it'd be interesting. I don't

1163
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 7: think it's going to happen, though, Unfortunately, I just don't

1164
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 7: think so.

1165
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 5: I think the Wizards can maybe do better than than

1166
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 5: Anno Porter if they want to in the player category.

1167
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, throw a boatload of picks at you. Maybe,

1168
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 5: like I said, maybe they just want that instead. But uh,

1169
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 5: I think this one's unlikely. Like you said too, Trey,

1170
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 5: I think it was yesterday man Bill and Levigne. They

1171
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 5: would score a lot of points, but they would be

1172
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 5: given a whole lot back on the other end.

1173
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 6: That's true. But I mean, I know you saw the

1174
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 6: tweet last night. Zach Levine is putting up Michael Jordan numbers.

1175
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 6: The Bulls are so back that we're getting photoshops of

1176
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 6: Zach Lavine and Michael Jordan giving each other a fist pound.

1177
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 6: Are you kidding me, you butt Bradley Beal next to

1178
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 6: the next Michael Jordan. That's a guaranteed championship team right there.

1179
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 6: But being serious, I would trade any of the Bulls

1180
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 6: young guys except for Patrick Williams and a Bradley Beal trade.

1181
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 6: I think it's time. You know, we talked about it yesterday,

1182
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 6: how they are kind of deep into this rebuild even

1183
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 6: though it feels like it's just starting this season. Hobe

1184
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 6: White you know, I've got high hopes for him. I

1185
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 6: think he can still be a six Man of the

1186
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 6: Year sometime in this league. Lee picked him this season

1187
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 6: despite the fact that he's starting, But he has a

1188
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 6: future in this league. He's a talented young player. Lowry

1189
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 6: market in. We've seen Hants had a few flashes of

1190
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 6: big games when del Carter Junior hasn't been able to

1191
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 6: stay on the court necessarily. But I would trade any

1192
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 6: of those three guys, plus Otto Porter plus some picks

1193
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 6: for Bradley Beal. And I'm not even the hugest Beal fan.

1194
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 6: I'm just ready for the Bulls to take the next step.

1195
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lowry, Markton feels like such a Wizards player to

1196
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 5: me too, Like I can actually just sort of picture

1197
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 5: them in a in a Wizard's jersey.

1198
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's Oh no, you're thinking of

1199
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 6: Damas Burton's well yeah, Jesus, No, no, no, no, you're

1200
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 6: thinking of Wagner, keep going, keep going. No no, no,

1201
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 6: you're thinking of Andre's patition.

1202
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 5: Nice pol very nice poul. Yeah. Maybe I am just

1203
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 5: melding them all together and a lot remarketing all right,

1204
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 5: good stuff, Leally. I mean you sort of mailed that

1205
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 5: one in. But are you going to continue tomorrow? Can

1206
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 5: we put your head to it?

1207
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 6: Row Raptors trade.

1208
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 7: Yeah we did that, Yes, yes we got Don't tell.

1209
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 5: Me the team. Don't tell me the team. Just just

1210
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 5: come up with something. Trade into the G League for

1211
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 5: all I care, right, I just want you to keep

1212
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 5: pissing off people. Okay, let's take one more break to

1213
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 5: hear from our sponsors. All right, Lely, let's get to

1214

Speaker 5: a good idea what this is? Lee. Soon as I

1216
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 5: saw it last night and I knew you had tweeted

1217
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 5: the night duties, I was like, oh, that's where else

1218
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 5: is going.

1219
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 7: Well, I've got I've got two tweets actually too, And

1220
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 7: the first one is the postgame celebration here from when

1221
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 7: Freddie van Vliet walked in after the fifty four and

1222
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 7: the team just collapses on him there, just showering him

1223
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 7: with water and all sorts of stuff. And you know,

1224
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 7: I mean, that's great, isn't it. That's what you want

1225
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 7: to do. You want to have one of those celebrations

1226
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 7: in your career at some point. Good to see a

1227
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 7: couple of masks being worn but not a lot anyway.

1228
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 7: So that was the Raptor's postgame locker room. And then

1229
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 7: Demata Rosen, who did hold the Raptors record with fifty

1230
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 7: two points. He tweeted this one out there last night.

1231
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 7: Congrats to my brother Freddie V Kyle old ass couldn't

1232
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 7: do it.

1233
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 5: Glad you did, Champ. I've been telling you so.

1234
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 7: Davar taking some credit there too for that that fifty

1235
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 7: four point night there for free.

1236
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 5: I've been telling you you can get fifty four. Go

1237
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 5: out there and do it.

1238
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 7: And also it's a little dig at his old buddy there,

1239
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 7: Kyle Lowry. So great night on Twitter for the Raptors.

1240
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 5: Good stuff. That's an easy one, but an obvious great one.

1241
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 5: Good good stuff. Okay, pick them results. Clippers nets was

1242
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 5: our game. I swerved. Swerve's working so far in February.

1243
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 5: We had task swerving on the first night. He got

1244
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 5: the victory, and I swerved last night. You guys all

1245
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 5: took the clippers made sense. It was close, but the

1246
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 5: nets covered. Who is getting a little dicey there, but

1247
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 5: they covered right at the end. So I got the victory.

1248
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 5: I'm one and one test lost last night, so he's

1249
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 5: now one on one and you guys have started zero

1250
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 5: to two, so you're oh, for so far early in February.

1251
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 5: We got ten games on tonight. There's an ESPN doubleheader.

1252
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 5: But our game, oh, it's the Who's More Back Bowl?

1253
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 4: Too?

1254
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 5: Yes we are. We're running it back and the Knicks

1255
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 5: versus the Bulls and uh, Trey Kirby's Chicago Bulls are

1256
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 5: favored by three and a half, So let's just start

1257
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 5: with Trey. Bulls by three and a half? Is an

1258
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 5: easy pick for you?

1259
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 6: Or are you?

1260
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 5: Are you swerving and going with the Knicks.

1261
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 6: The swerve sounds tantalizing, Skeets.

1262
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 5: That's kind of a big line for the Bullies.

1263
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 6: But there's no way I'm picking up against them in

1264
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 6: the Whose Most Back Ball? Part two? I gotta go

1265
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 6: with the Bulls if I end up losing this month

1266
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 6: because I picked the balls every time they're in the

1267
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 6: pick and payoff. That's called loyalty, that's called dedication and positivity.

1268
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 6: I'm fine with it. Bulls win, Balls win by.

1269
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 5: Twenty Okay, Bulls win, I'll blowout win. Okay, they just

1270
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 5: got to win by four or more. Ley, are you

1271
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: taking the next to cover? You got the Bulls.

1272
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 7: It's the Bulls closed the game out so impressively the

1273
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 7: other night against the Knicks. I think they can do

1274
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 7: it again. I'm surprised it's only three and a half.

1275
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 7: I thought it might have been a touch higher. I

1276
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 7: thought they might have even just got one more point there.

1277
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm kicking myself this morning because I had

1278
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 7: a rule that I was like, I'm not picking against

1279
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant at all in the pick and payoff, and

1280
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 7: I did last night and it cost me. So I'm

1281
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 7: taking the Bulls too. At three and a half. I

1282
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 7: think they've got four points in them.

1283
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 5: Okay, well, now I just gotta know who Tass is

1284
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 5: picking before I make my pick, because I might have

1285
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 5: to continue to swarch. So let's find know who Tass

1286
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 5: has in this game.

1287
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 6: We're getting a zach Lavine show tonight, and the Knicks

1288
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 6: don't have the offense to match. Give me the Bolls.

1289
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 5: Oh call me Jasworm, I'll be swarm again. Why not?

1290
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 5: Why not? Look, the Bulls can still win the game,

1291
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 5: Nicks can cover. It can be a close one. So

1292
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 5: I'll take New York. Let's see if we can make

1293
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 5: it three in a row with the one lone guy

1294
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 5: whoever he's picking, getting the victory. I got them the

1295
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 5: only one with the next. Everybody else has the bulls

1296
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 5: twin by four. All right, let's call it there, because
