00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: We will be able to hew out of the mountain

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: of despair a stone of hope. With this theme, we

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: will be able to transform the jangling discords of our

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this theme,

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: we will be able to work together, to pray together,

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: one day.

Speaker 1: all of God's children, black men and white men, shoes

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: hands and sing in the words of the old Negro

Speaker 4: High Stared as an extra, Yes, yes.

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: An iconic Canadian teen drama that started what I guess

30
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: in the late eighties.

31
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 5: I think early eighties.

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: The kids went yeah Street and then the Grassy Junior High,

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 4: which I was in, and then the Grassy High. I

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: didn't make it to high school.

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: How did we not know? This is what's blowing my mind.

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: We've known you for like nearly twenty years.

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: And yeah, I can't believe it's never coming.

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how it happens.

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: Does anyone have a stuff on the street and said, hey,

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: a ton of time, but get those specific cues in

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: or any question for the Beach step in podcast. All right, guys,

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: it's Monday here, winners and losers of the NBA Weekend Test.

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: When don't you get it started with the winners.

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 5: The Lakers, Kyle Kuzma. This is a double winner because

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 5: Kuzma is getting recognized for his basketball abilities and not

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 5: his trainer insulting Lebron, or his blonde hair, or his

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: trade value. And also he's getting recognized for his defense,

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 5: what something he's not really known for. So he's starting

71
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: for an injured Anthony Davis right now and against the

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: Rockets on Saturday on National TV. The ABC primetime games

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 5: they have begun. Russell Westbrook gave it to the Lakers

74
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 5: in the first half twenty two and the Rockets are

75
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: up six. Everything feeling fine. Then Rajon Rondo, who's sitting

76
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 5: out for the Lakers, he suggested, apparently I'm always a

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 5: little dubious of this, but anyways, he suggested Kuzma guard

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 5: Russ and Kuzas slowed him to on the second half.

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 5: He didn't shut him down, but his length did bother

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: Westbrook's bully ball inside. Westbrook only had thirteen in the

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 5: second half, and Kuzma's offense picked up. He had seventeen

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 5: of his twenty three and the second half Lakers win.

83
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: Lakers winning. Maybe it's a bit of a triple winner

84
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 5: because Kuzma helps his trade value for the deadline. It's

85
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: only two and a half weeks away if they deal him.

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 5: But maybe they don't deal him. I don't know. He's

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: obviously playing pretty well right now. He's up and down.

88
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: He's trying to find that third role. But I know

89
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: they need another ball Hndler. Maybe Kuzma, you know, is

90
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: the ticket to that. But he does some good things

91
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: on the basketball floor.

92
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 6: The question for him really is when Davis comes back,

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 6: what happens. Then he's gonna come off the bench again.

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 6: And he struggled in that role so far this season,

96
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 6: but now he's confident. So is he gonna come out

97
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: and be firing.

98
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: Away and carry off?

99
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 6: Yeah? But will will because that's a big adjustment for

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 6: a lot of players, especially young players, to make where

101
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 6: you're like, okay, you're off the bench, then you're in

102
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 6: the starting line. He played well, now go back to

103
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 6: the bench without it being considered some sort of like

104
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 6: you know, emotion, Yeah, exactly, demotion because it's not obviously

105
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 6: a demotion when Anthony Davis come back. It's just like, hey,

106
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 6: you're basically a place warm before him until he comes back.

107
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: It's shot attempts though in that role, right, that's the thing.

108
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 2: When there's no ad, he's he gets a lot of looks.

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think in the five games he started,

110
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: he gets seventeen shots per game, and he's chipping in

111
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: twenty points per game in the six boards and a

112
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: couple assists. Shooting decent, But you're right, it's when it's

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: like there's just less shots that you're gonna get, but

114
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: you still got to keep your efficiency up and knock

115
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: those down, be it the threes or or attacking. Look.

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: We talked about it that that ad injury, this might

117
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: be a blessing in disguise. Yeah, task you're right, maybe

118
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: it just helps his trade value, but if they keep them,

119
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: maybe this does unlock him a little bit here and

120
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers or even more potent.

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 7: Well, if he's gonna be answering the call from coach

122
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 7: Rondo too, that's a good way to stay on the

123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 7: court when it comes closing time. Because we know that

124
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 7: the best lineups for the Lakers come playoff time will

125
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 7: feature Anthony Davis at the five, Lebron at the four.

126
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 7: There's gonna be a slot out there for another medium

127
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 7: sized guy if it's Kyle Kuzma, if he's still around

128
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 7: at that time, if Rondo's getting on him and if

129
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 7: Kuzma's actually serious, he says, you know, if I want

130
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 7: to stay on the court, I know I got to

131
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 7: play defense. I mean, we're half the way into the season.

132
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 7: I imagine the Lakers being incredible at defense could have

133
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 7: been a clue to that. But if he's willing to

134
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 7: do the dirty work and be the third guy, he

135
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 7: could still be a part of those closing lineups.

136
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 5: I would think he is saying the right things about

137
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 5: the defensive end because he's going to have to scrap

138
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 5: and be a sort of, you know, a role player

139
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: obviously with the stars out there, and so the words

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 5: are correct, but yeah, so who you know, the closing

141
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 5: lineups are definitely Anthony Davis and Lebron Danny Green's going

142
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: to be out there as a three ball shooter spreading

143
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 5: the floor, and the other spots.

144
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 7: Who is It probably depends, right, Like, if you're playing

145
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 7: the Nuggets, maybe Dwight right, you needed another big guy

146
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 7: in there to bang with Yokich that sort of thing.

147
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 7: But if you're playing against a faster team, you're going

148
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 7: with the guards.

149
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: I would imagine, yep, that's exactly right. A winner of

150
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: the weekend for me, The Utah Jazz all right. They're

151
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: entering Mlkday here on a sixteen to two run. They

152
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: won sixteen in the last eighteen games. They host the

153
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Pacers like today, which should be a great game. But

154
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: the Jazz over the weekend, they got Mike Conley back.

155
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: On Saturday, he returned to the lineup. I mean, he

156
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: hadn't played in a long time where he missed nineteen

157
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: to twenty games with that left hamstring. He came off

158
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: the bench though, this is a note of course, this

159
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: is Mike Conley here now. You know, he played fifteen minutes.

160
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: He finished with three points, three assists, two steals. They're

161
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: gonna bring him along slowly. Got a nice standing ovation

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: there though, coming off the bench. But this worked well,

163
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: you know, first off him just being a bench guy.

164
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: It helps, like it bumps Moody a basically out of

165
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: the lineup. He's sort of DMPCD now because that minutes

166
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: right now going to Conley and oh yeah, the Jazz,

167
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: who are on fire, started on fire in that game

168
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: on Saturday. They scored on their first ten possessions. So

169
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: well done, Gobert, huge game, helping his All Star case.

170
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: Twenty eight and fifteen. The Jazz crushed the Kings. I

171
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: should point that out one twenty three one on one.

172
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: They also had maybe the very solid play of the

173
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: season Lee. Yeah, oh my goodness what it was like

174
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: six or seven passes that ball was going to both

175
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 2: sides of the ball, Guy's still breaking into the lane.

176
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: Ended with the three pointer bom Donovan Mitchell. It was

177
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: a switsch bomb. But then on Sunday Jazz weren't done.

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: And we can talk about that Conley thing if you want,

179
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: like will they stick with that? You know, dare you

180
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: put Conley back in there when he's a little more healthy.

181
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: But anyway, on Sunday, the Jazz signed forward Royce O'Neill

182
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: to a four year, thirty six million dollar extension. Is

183
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: the uh, you know, prototypical three and D guy, and

184
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: really is. I mean he always is defending the best

185
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: perimeter player on the other team, and then he's been

186
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: great from distance. He's shooting forty four point three percent

187
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: from three, and he's a full time starter on this team.

188
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Now that's interesting. If Conley does start, then O'Neill's probably

189
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: out of the starting lineup. But I don't know, if

190
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: you you know, you mess around with this and maybe

191
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: Conley despite making the big Bucks is better suited coming

192
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: off the bench and leaving that second unit.

193
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 7: Coming into the season, there was definitely worries that the

194
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 7: Jazz had a really good starting five and that they

195
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 7: wouldn't be able to bring anybody off the bench. So

196
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 7: maybe Conley's sticking around there being a little bit more

197
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 7: of a distributor compared to Jordan Clarkson, who's just going

198
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 7: out there and trying to get buckets. Maybe that's the

199
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 7: way it works, because ever since Joe Ingles went into

200
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 7: the starting lineup, the Jazz have been great. I don't know,

201
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 7: there's a weird collection of guys on the bench for

202
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 7: the Jazz.

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: George Kniang, Yeah, Tony.

204
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: Bradley, guys that like literally when they're running up and

205
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 7: down the court and mixing up their two names for

206
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 7: each other, they could they're like inverses of each other.

207
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: To me, I don't know what it is.

208
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: Bradley Bradley Niang, Yeah, you can mix them all.

209
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: Oh, Brad Anthony.

210
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 7: But they they have been producing as of late, so

211
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 7: I don't know, maybe a little extra juice with Conley's

212
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 7: the right move.

213
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: I think it's fine.

214
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 6: I think you know again, Coaches are superstitious, almost like

215
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 6: this where it's like, let's not mess with things just

216
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 6: to sort of appease Mike Conley if he needs to

217
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 6: get out in stein line. I don't think he's that

218
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 6: type of guy anyway.

219
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't think so.

220
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 6: I think he's kind of like, you know what things

221
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 6: are rolling, I'll just I'll work my way back into

222
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 6: this team.

223
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: That all said, it's weird for maybe a guy making

224
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: thirty two million dollars coming off the bench.

225
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they didn't sign him to that. You know,

226
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 6: it's not it's not their contract per se. You know,

227
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 6: he came over. He's a free agent anyway after this season.

228
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 6: So it's like, hey, you know, Mike, you've been a

229
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 6: great player, but things weren't going all that well for

230
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 6: you at the start of the season. This might be

231
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 6: the role we found for you. This might suit everybody better,

232
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 6: even if it means a few less minutes and a

233
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 6: few less shops for Mike Conley. If they're winning, I

234
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: think I think both sides of the party would be

235
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 6: happy with that outcome.

236
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah. If they're winning, that's that's definitely the key. If

237
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 5: they were losing, it'd be easy to just throw him

238
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: in there for Royce O'Neill again, because he would be

239
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: the guy even in this scenario that would be back

240
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 5: on the bench. Joe Angles has been too good in

241
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: the starting spot. He's been a key. He's just he

242
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 5: is what the Jazz are in years past. He is there,

243
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 5: he's really their you know, their secondary point guard. He

244
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 5: is sort of their point guard with Donovan Mitchell out there,

245
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 5: so there isn't necessarily that key role. I mean, this

246
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 5: is Mike Conley in the sort of the genobili rule,

247
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 5: like he can take over if if they need him,

248
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 5: but he is playing alongside Jordan Clarkson, so that's you know,

249
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: they're the Conley doesn't have to score as much. But

250
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 5: it does kick Moodier out of the rotation, like you said, skeets,

251
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: and that's, uh, you know, it kind of slacks for Moudier,

252
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 5: who who's no.

253
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: He's been good, he's been fine, He's been fine.

254
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 5: And this is yeah, of course, and this is a

255
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 5: big kudos to quinc Sinator if he can pull this off,

256
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: if he can let make Conley come off the bench,

257
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 5: and and if Conley's okay with that, and as we said, Conley,

258
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: he's a good soldier's a good boy.

259
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: I think coming off, I should just clarify as a

260
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 6: player option next year for thirty two million, so he

261
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 6: could be a free agent if he wants to be

262
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 6: next season.

263
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: Probably won't, Probably won't know batter himself. What do you

264
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: think about the extension there? Just quickly for O'Neil. Yeah,

265
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 2: four years, thirty six million.

266
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 6: I think I think for where the current NBA is,

267
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 6: a contract like that is very very suits Utah, fine,

268
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 6: they get a good player. It's certainly not a contract

269
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 6: that they wouldn't be able to move if things don't

270
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 6: work out for him, and I think he's earned that

271
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 6: as well. I think on that team he gets overlooked

272
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 6: his contributions because there are a lot of other really

273
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 6: good players that stand out a little bit more, but

274
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 6: he's pretty important to them.

275
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: So I think this is wise to do this. Maybe

276
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: now get him locked up too, because if you know,

277
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: you look at the free agents class this in the

278
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: so it's not far fetch to think of a team

279
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: possibly throwing more money, right yeah, and trying to allure

280
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: him to their squad. So yeah, Jazz get that done

281
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: and are looking pretty good here.

282
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, nine million dollars for a starter Aoka, And I

283
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 5: don't think this goes the way of Dante Exam's contract

284
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 5: that they signed last year. They signed Dante Exam to

285
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 5: a three year extension around you know, the twenty eight

286
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 5: to twenty nine million dollars mark, whatever that was, and

287
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 5: that didn't work out. I think that's a little different.

288
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: Royce O'Neil has been healthy and hitting the bill and

289
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 5: can hit a shot.

290
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Trey. Who do you got for a winner of the weekend?

291
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 7: Well, the Celtics lost their only game this weekend. Yeah,

292
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 7: but I still got to give some love to a

293
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 7: Bean town boy, Marcus Smart. Eleven threes? Are you kidding me?

294
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 7: There was no Keema Walker in this game against the Suns,

295
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 7: no Jalen Brown, So Marcus Smart went out there and

296
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 7: took all of the available shots, went eleven of twenty

297
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 7: two from three. Honestly, just a crazy line considering it's

298
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 7: Marcus Smart. Did a little research, did a little research

299
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 7: into this. Uh three point percentage wise, Marcus Smart has

300
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 7: the second worst career three point percentage of anybody that's

301
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 7: made ten or more threes.

302
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: Worst. No, no, no.

303
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 7: He's a decent guy. He's the worst ever it's going

304
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 7: to be tough.

305
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: Wes crazy Headaniel Marshall, No, not bad.

306
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Terrence, he was.

307
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: He was early on the leader list.

308
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: But that's right.

309
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 7: Brian Shaw, good one. But also Marcus Smart. Of any

310
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: players who have attempted twenty or more threes, by far

311
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 7: the worst three point percentage. So you guys want to

312
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 7: take a guess at all of the players in history

313
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 7: who have attempted twenty or more threes, there's been eleven

314
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 7: j rr and Marcus Smart yep, Curry James Harden the

315
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 7: only one to do it more than once. Yeah, Clay Clay,

316
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 7: You've got two more active guys.

317
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: One guy is not gonna be active for much longer.

318
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: Lillard maybe.

319
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 7: No, Lillard twenty a lot in one game. I mean Westbrook,

320
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 7: No Westbrook, Vince Vince Carter two thousand and seven.

321
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: Apparently he jacked up twenty.

322
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: Threes literally thirteen years ago, still in the league.

323
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: Probably against the Rats.

324
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: So one more.

325
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: Currinky happened this season.

326
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: Hmm, buddy healed?

327
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: There you go?

328
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, all right, then let's go back into the deeps.

329
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: The deeps.

330
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: We're talking about an early three point shooter.

331
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Glenn Rice No Jill ellis known.

332
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 7: More for a volume definitely a volume no, but even

333
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 7: earlier than that crazy release, one of the all time

334
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 7: craziest releases. Regiment Michael Adams, it is you got a

335
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 7: Hall of Famer, an all time great. These twenty attempts

336
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 7: may have came in his last NBA game. I'm not

337
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 7: totally sure that that's right, Kobe. And then who else

338
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 7: do we got? We've got a raptors legend, No.

339
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: No.

340
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 7: One of the earliest notable raptors. Okay, he's hanging in

341
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 7: this very duty. If you're looking at me, you're seeing

342
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 7: the baby. I guess maybe not anymore moved around. David Studaman,

343
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 7: the last one Deepen st David Stottamayer. He wasn't a

344
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 7: raptor when he it was all five, but the last guy.

345
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 7: It's funny because his name came up when we were

346
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 7: popping packs last week.

347
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 6: George McLoud.

348
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: That's right, really a skyman himself, George McLeod.

349
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 7: But yeah, eleven for twenty two from Marcus Smart and

350
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 7: it's funny test that you mentioned Danielle Marshall. I read

351
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 7: the oral history on the night when he hit all

352
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 7: of his freeze from Blake Murphy on the athletic and

353
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 7: you just like Leo Routins was talking about, like the

354
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 7: defense was just terrible. There was nobody around him, and

355
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 7: that's kind of what was happening with Marcus Smart. There's

356
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 7: a reason he was open for twenty two to three pointers.

357
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 7: But when you have two other guards out in Kemba

358
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 7: and Jalen Brown, I.

359
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: Guess you gotta take him. Yeah, and he made half.

360
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: Of himself keep shooting.

361
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you take that went.

362
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, career high, right, thirty seven points for him, which

363
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: is obviously that's that's a no brainer. But you're right,

364
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: that's probably the game plan a little bit from the

365
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: Suns like okay, okay, yeah, we'll live with picking out

366
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: of China threes and we'll get the W and then look,

367
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,239
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart said the right things after to the Classicsmart

368
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't care about the Celtics franchise record

369
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: for med threes, Like I'd take the win any day

370
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: of the week. And then they still last the Sun.

371
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: I was picking from them all right, I love that one.

372
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: Who do you, Gutley?

373
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: I'm going with Spurs assistant coach Becky Hammond. Last night

374
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 6: Spurs versus Heat five point game with one twenty eight

375
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 6: to go, Jimmy Butler goes inside, gets a questionable foul call,

376
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: goes up for an and one, and Derek White clearly

377
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 6: goaltends the ball. So that would have made it a

378
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 6: three point game with Jimmy Butler going to the line

379
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 6: for it possibly and one. And it was a bad

380
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: call on the foul. It was clearly even a bad

381
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 6: call on the continuation as well that he was able

382
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 6: to get that, but the referees called it, and Popovich

383
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 6: was upset as he always is. But you can clearly

384
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: see pop mouth of words no challenge. He says, no challenge,

385
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 6: so they basically say okay, and then Becky comes running

386
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 6: off the side and says, basically, why not challenge it.

387
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 6: We've got one, it's a time out, just challenge it.

388
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: And so the referees do challenge it, or excuse me,

389
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: Pop and the Spurs do challenge it. And that took

390
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 6: twenty eight seconds after they ruled that the basket was

391
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 6: good on the Jimmy Butler continuation. So this just dragged

392
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 6: on and on and on forever forever.

393
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: So they got it within the thirty seconds. Well wind

394
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 5: challenge when.

395
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 6: I mean they did from the time that they adjudicated

396
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: that the goldtend went down.

397
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: But this was after about a minute. Oh it was

398
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: so long. I mean, Spolster was there a yelling like

399
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 2: watch this is hilarious, Pop yelling at the refs. Folster

400
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: is also yelling at the rest of your right, beck

401
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: he's in there trying to.

402
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 6: Spolster is also kind of like, well, it's Pop, so

403
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 6: I don't want to get into a shouting match with

404
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 6: Pop here. But anyway, they ultimately overturned the continuation, so

405
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 6: they call the foul, which was a dubious fowl on

406
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 6: de rod me okay, like Jimmy Butler sort of embellishes anyway,

407
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 6: So the Spurs get the ball inside out of bounds,

408
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 6: but they're down. They remained down five rather than potentially

409
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 6: round down two. Jimmy Butler goes the free throw line,

410
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 6: gets found and makes two. Anyway, but still, I mean,

411
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: Becky convincing Pop to challenge save them at minimum one

412
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: point and and you know in the right calls yeah,

413
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 6: right move and considering the Spurs right now they need

414
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 6: every single win they can. And ultimately the Heat didn't

415
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 6: score again after the Jimmy Butler.

416
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson had a chance to tie it decent. Look

417
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: at three, and he'd been on fire in that game.

418
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 6: But it was just hilarious how how crazy it kind

419
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 6: of was and how long it took.

420
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, it's very funny. I was watching the

421
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: heat broadcast and watching the away broadcast on lead pass

422
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: when all this is happening. I mean, if you can

423
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: fire it up, like go look at it. Whoever's operating

424
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: the the bug, the score bug for the Heat broadcast

425
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: is so confused. I swear to god, it changes four

426
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: times in like the span of like thirty seconds around

427
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: all of this. It's like, yeah, it's like one oah two,

428
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: and then it's back to like it goes to ninety nine,

429
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: and then it's over to one hundred and one. It's

430
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: like I would have been I would have paid so

431
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: much money to beat that in that truck with the

432
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, the director of producer yelling at the score

433
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: operator like how wrong, and then they literally just give

434
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: up and take it off the screen because they could

435
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: not figure out what the hell was scored. Well, that's

436
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: the thing.

437
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 6: I don't think people understood if the challenge was on

438
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 6: the continuation or the foul, right, because when you're in

439
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 6: the arena you're like, so, what's going on? And then

440
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 6: it was like, okay, the challenge was upheld, but it's

441
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: still heat ball, so it was like it was crazy.

442
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 6: But anyway, the spurs one and Becky like like I say, pop,

443
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 6: he gives up. He gives up, and he says no

444
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 6: challenge to the refs, and so at that point.

445
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: The refs should take it.

446
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 6: Well that's what you said, that's it. But instead twenty

447
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 6: eight seconds the windows open. Yeah, the window is still open.

448
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 6: So just just a crazy little end to that game there.

449
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: Fun sure, for sure, right, I like that one task.

450
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: I got another one.

451
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 5: I'll sneak one in here at Kyle Lowry or the

452
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: raptors kyl Lowry and the cloudy field of potential Eastern

453
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 5: All Star Guards. It's cloudy out there. Lowry's balling out

454
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 5: at the perfect time. Reserves announced in ten days and the

455
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: coaches have their ballots, I think anyway, and Lowry is

456
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 5: one of those guys that he may or may not

457
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: be an also, but it's not clear who's making it.

458
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: So Old Faithful is ballind and I'll call him Old

459
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 5: Faithful because he's made five straight All Star games in

460
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 5: this murky field of guys. You know, you forget that

461
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 5: he's made fall five Star games right in this murky

462
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: field of the guys who haven't made it or on

463
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 5: losing teams like Bradley Beal or Jalen Brown Zachlavine, who's

464
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 5: in both categories. Lowry's averaging over twenty points per game

465
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 5: for the first time in a few seasons. He had

466
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: twenty eight and twenty eight minutes on Saturday versus Minnesota,

467
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 5: which is a low minute total for him because he's

468
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: leading the league in minutes played per game at thirty

469
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 5: seven point four minutes. So maybe those coaches say, whoa

470
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: this rock, this old rock? He deserves an All Star spot,

471
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 5: and coaches love voting for guys that have been there before.

472
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 5: He might sneak in. Yeah, he might sneak in, especially

473
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: especially because it is so murky and a lot of

474
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 5: guys will get votes, and maybe Lowry gets just enough.

475
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: I think it's it's in play. I didn't think it

476
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: was possible at the start of the year. I'll be honest.

477
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: I've said it on the podcast, but I've changed my tune.

478
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: You know, he's probably more a deserving All Star this

479
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: year than he was last year in all honesty, with

480
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: all of the injuries and the way he's played and

481
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: leading the league in minutes and stuff like that.

482
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: Yes, doing a lot for that team. He's had to

483
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: fire away and he's you know, shooting three and a

484
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 5: half more times then last year. He's scoring six more

485
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 5: points per game. The percentages or even a touch better.

486
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: He's doing a lot.

487
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 6: He takes a lot of charges as well, which coaches respect.

488
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love to see a guy on the floor.

489
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 7: I was trying to work him into my starters last

490
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 7: week and the game's missed is the problem. But I mean,

491
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 7: twenty points a game, seven and a half assists, four

492
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 7: and a half rebounds. The guy is going to be

493
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 7: an All Star. One's best serving for sure.

494
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: Defensive guards in the league for sure. Yeah, and the

495
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: Raps are they're finally healthy here, right, I mean they

496
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: finally are basically hashtag full squad. So we'll see what

497
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: they can do in the second half of the season.

498
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: Everybody stays healthy. I like that one. I got a

499
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: couple of sort of mini ones I'll throw at you, guys.

500
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: We can address them. Morant is a winner of the

501
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: weekend Grizzlies. Yes again, because it was unofficial, like Murray

502
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: State Night. On Friday in Memphis, almost three entire section

503
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: sections of FedEx Forms lower level were filled with Murray

504
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: State fans nearly two hours before tip off. So they

505
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 2: came out and drove. There were apparently like a thousand

506
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: of them there, and it's like, I think it's like

507
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 2: a three and a half hour drive or something to

508
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: Memphis from Murray Kentucky. And he put on a show.

509
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: I mean, he puts on a show every game. We've

510
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: been trying to tell you watch Grizzlies games. Watch Grizzlies games.

511
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: This guy is something special. Series of awesome layups, the

512
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: one handed you know, kisses off the glass driving into traffic.

513
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: He had an awesome midair pass to set up a

514
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: Jared jacks Junior dunk. That was the one where it

515
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 2: looked like Crowder was good. Threw him the oup and

516
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: he was like, there was too many bodies in the way,

517
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: so he just caught it. Floated, floated, you know, made

518
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: an espresso hung up there a little bit longer and

519
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: he's like, okay, now I'll pass it to Jared Jackson Junior,

520
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: who's finally gotten down the floor, like it's crazy, like

521
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: just how how long he can stay in the air.

522
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: That one was sick. Forty seconds later, Oh, he finishes

523
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: the oop crowder again. He's like, all right, this one,

524
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: there's nobody in the way, huge one handed allube jam

525
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: on the break. But then the play of the night

526
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: was not even a play really in the box score.

527
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't a successful Grizzlies play really, that

528
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: mid air sort of backhanded little shovel pass where he's

529
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: spinning sort of three sixty after it looks like he

530
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: thought about trying to like decapitate someone with a dunk

531
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: and it goes to triple Jane and he like gets blocked,

532
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: so it's like an almost dunk but doesn't happen. I

533
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: mean he now has John Morant like two of the

534
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: like highlight plays of the year that aren't even really plays,

535
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: the one where he almost jumped over Kevin Love and

536
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: now this one. That pause was unreal.

537
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not even an assist. He's

538
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 6: got so much time when he's in the air like

539
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 6: he did. He gets up there and it's like you're

540
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 6: saying that he's got making a cup of coffee for pages.

541
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: He's like, what am I gonna do now?

542
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 6: But even the NBA account tweeted out, oh yeah, the

543
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: past that was actually nothing. I know, crazy crazy stuff.

544
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: His near misses are just as thrilling as anything going

545
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: on in the NBA right now.

546
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, this might be a hot take, but I'll say

547
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 7: that that is the best non assist since Jason Williams

548
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: elbow pass that Rafel Frinz didn't finish well, check the tape,

549
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 7: no back, review every single pass in the NBA in

550
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 7: the past twenty what about get back to me?

551
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: What about that Barnyanni bounced past off the floor that

552
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: I've talked about before that was then called the foul

553
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: way back in Rapter states. I mean it's pretty sick too. Yeah,

554
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: I've been saying the skull times on Twitter. I saw

555
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: Nate Jones sort of echoing these thoughts as well. It's

556
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: his passes are so Penny Hardaway two point zero. It's unreal, man,

557
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: Go watch Penny Hardaway highlights. It's very similar. There's no

558
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: other way to describe it to me. And I freaking

559
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: love Penny Hardaway when I was a kid. And same

560
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: thing here with John Moran it's the athleticism is just

561
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: off the charts.

562
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: I know.

563
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 6: It still scares me to watch him because he gets

564
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 6: up so high and he does it so quickly. You

565
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 6: just think, oh, man, I hope he makes it dan Okay.

566
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 5: It's not reckless. He picks spots well, he doesn't. Like

567
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 5: he didn't try and dunk on whoever that was that

568
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 5: he was supposed to. He could have.

569
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 6: He could have nearly done that as well.

570
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

571
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 6: When you look at the slowma you think, if he

572
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 6: really kept going, he might have been able to throw

573
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 6: that one down. It was you know, maybe you just

574
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 6: sort of get caught in that moment. But like I

575
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: feel that he doesn't. He goes up and he's like,

576
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 6: I don't really care about my body in this instance.

577
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 6: I'm trying to create the player. But that's a lot

578
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 6: of young guys tend to do that. But yeah, so

579
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 6: far he's made it down okay. But there are a

580
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 6: couple of times you're like, he's up so high and

581
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 6: his body's flying around.

582
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 2: It's like, I just can't believe how long he floats

583
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: in the air. It looks wild, not even in slow

584
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: mo when you just watching it in real time. You're like,

585
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: guys are now down on the ground and he is

586
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: still like just now started coming down.

587
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: It is.

588
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: It's cool that levitation there. Winter the Weekend is Steph

589
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: Curry too. Over the Weekend, Kurry trade to his skills

590
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: at as a sideline reporter on the Warriors broadcast. They

591
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: got the win fourteen point went over the magic. He

592
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: was joking out his plus minus stats as a broadcaster.

593
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: He was showing love to his brother in law Damian

594
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: Lee on the on the during the game, had a

595
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: little play by play he called u azubeke auke I

596
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: always grew up. How you actually say clean his name?

597
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: Buddy called him Kalisi. Very funny. Warriors are now two

598
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: and oh with clay Or Curry on the call. Splash

599
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: Brothers keep him out, that's for real. And in addition

600
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: to Curry doing that, the real reason maybe he's Winter

601
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: of the Weekend the Athletics. Marcus Thompson the second he

602
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: reported that Curry is eyeing a March first return from injury.

603
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 2: So we're gonna see Curry at some point, uh this season.

604
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: They've got that one sort of circled on the date

605
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 2: versus the Wizards.

606
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 7: Great tweet from Julie Fair pointing out that he's coming

607
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 7: back on three to one.

608
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: I saw that very very funny quick winter of the weekend,

609
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard, just because he's dominating right now. He's timed

610
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: this well with the All Star starters votes being well,

611
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: they had to be in and I guess by the

612
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: end of today. Kawi's last five games thirty six points

613
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 2: per game, five and a half boards, five assists, two

614
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: and a half steals, shooting fifty six percent from the floor,

615
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: forty three from three on a lot of attempts in

616
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: eighty six of the line. All of that in thirty

617
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: three point three minutes per game. John Schumann pointed out

618
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: to Clippers points scored per one hundred persessions over those

619
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: five games. When Leonard's on the floor, won twenty five

620
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: point three and when he's off ninety seven point six. Terminator, Kawhi,

621
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: He's rolling right now. And that was an awesome game

622
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: between the Clippers and the Pelicans over the weekend. That

623
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: was one of the better games, I would say, and

624
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: he was special in that one Pacers winner beating the Nuggets,

625
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: rallying to beat the Nuggets on Sunday one, fifteen oh

626
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: Sep One, fifteen to one oh seven. This is kicking

627
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: off a five game road trip for them. So that's

628
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 2: a hell of a weekend for the Pacers when you

629
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: pair that win over Denver, who was who was shorthanded,

630
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: no doubt, with no millsap and Marie and Gary Harris,

631
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: but still nice win coming back, and then you pair

632
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 2: that with that two point went over the Wolves on

633
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: Friday where Malcolm Brockton another game winning floater, getting to

634
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 2: the spot, kissing it up there.

635
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 7: They're giving Sabonas and brock dinner, are giving each other

636
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 7: doing each other no favors for because in the earlier

637
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 7: when you're like, yeah, Brocknen game winner, that's awesome. And

638
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 7: then you watch Sabonas against the Nuggets, like four offensive

639
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 7: rebounds in the last minute of the game.

640
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: He's just putting them away. Yeah. Twenty two points, fifteen

641
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: boards tennisis first career triple double for the Lithuanian On Sunday,

642
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: Doug McDermott too, Oh my god, Dougie mcbucket's eighteen in

643
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. He was on fire as the Pacers

644
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: came back and they've won five straight. They are now

645
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: eight and eight when they play teams with a better

646
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: record than five hundred. I said, another big game for

647
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: them tonight. That's a tough back to back, go into

648
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: Denver and then follow it up going to Utah tonight

649
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: on Mlkday. Here they pull off that win. My goodness,

650
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: no wild but yeah, TJ Warren two and not even

651
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: just since the Jimmy Butler a little exchange, but he's

652
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: he's averaging twenty one points per game on fifty five

653
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: percent shooting over the last eleven games. That's sort of

654
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: really at times their primary scoring option. He's looked great.

655
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm happy I I threw him in the mix there.

656
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 2: He's not gonna win it. But like when we were

657
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: talking most approved, I didn't go with him. I obviously

658
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: went with Jonathan Isaac and I was giving Siakam some

659
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: love there, trying to go back to back on MIP.

660
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: But threw one in there and he's he's he's bawling. Well,

661
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 2: it's nice to see him on a good team. And

662
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: maybe you would have been doing this with the Suns

663
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: because they got better. But he's, uh, guy could score.

664
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: He's scored Warren Warren.

665
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, in his second season there and Phoenix, he was

666
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 6: getting some but no exactly exactly. It's now on this thame.

667
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 6: I mean you mentioned this APPONUS twenty two, Warren twenty two,

668
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 6: brokedon twenty two, and then Dougie twenty four. If the

669
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 6: bank like that's I mean for a coach to have

670
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 6: that sort of balance in that many options, that's great.

671
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 6: But it's the paces again, it's just five in a row.

672
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 6: They're just cruising along. Yeah, you know, just as they do.

673
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: One more winter of the weekend to the Blazers books,

674
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: the financial books for Portland. They confirmed a deal over

675
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: the weekend. It's going to be not official official probably

676
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: till Tuesday, but they they're sending Kent Besmore, Anthony Tolliver

677
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: and two second round picks to the Kings for Trevor Aresa,

678
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: calyb Swan Swanigan and when Yan Gabriel Portland. They're doing

679
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: this because they're shedding something like twelve point five million

680
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: dollars in salary. They're still over the luxury tax line.

681
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: But they may not be done here right is would

682
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: everybody think of this little deal A minor deal, didn't

683
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: call for an emergency podcast.

684
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 6: Trevor Resa just gets trided. That's what he does is bad.

685
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 6: This time last year he got tridd remember, and.

686
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a partial guarantee for next season. Baisemore

687
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: and Tolliver they're expiring, but Aresa is only guaranteed like

688
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: one point eight million of that twelve point eight million

689
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: for next year. And which is why a big part

690
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: of the you know this the saving money here for

691
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: the Blazers because they're not also they're not good. Is

692
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: this what's going on? Are they just going to be like, well,

693
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: we're like eighteen and twenty five, so let's try and

694
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: totally dodge that tax. And again maybe it is move

695
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: in Whiteside or Arizonia or some of these guys. They

696
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: just got to cut even more money.

697
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 5: Well, let's go for the Kings that they got rid of.

698
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 5: Guy who's not going to be part of their future team.

699
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 5: You know, Baisemore is unlikely to be part of there,

700
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,719
Speaker 5: and so not that looming cloud of a guy who's

701
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 5: gonna be around in Trevor Reza, who's taken minutes from

702
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 5: like a bog Dann Bogdanovic. They just had too many

703
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 5: guys and so they're starting to slim it down a

704
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 5: little bit and Trevor Reza doesn't care about shooting, I

705
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 5: guess as much as Kem Besmore. I don't know, is

706
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 5: that an upgrade. It's it's pretty lateral.

707
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: But it's a lateral gread.

708
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 5: But but Trevor Resa has been part of good defenses

709
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 5: that went to the Conference Weds that one championships. He

710
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 5: is at one time NBA champ with the Lakers. So

711
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 5: it's the same thing we did say when he went

712
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: from Phoenix to Washington last year. Didn't really help Washington.

713
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 5: But at the same time, yeah, yeah, no it doesn't.

714
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't really help or hurt the Blazer's race to

715
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: get back in the playoffs. This move, it only helps

716
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: their books because again, you can't have the highest payroll

717
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: in be eighteen and twenty five.

718
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 5: But you know, didn't Bazmore expect to shoot a little

719
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: bit because you're not getting shots with Dame CJ and

720
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: Mellow and Trevor. I don't think cares. So either way, yeah,

721
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 5: probably doesn't do a lot.

722
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard to get excited about a money trade.

723
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 7: This is a straight up money trade. Here's the cash

724
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 7: app on this. How many times you think Trevor Ariza

725
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 7: has been traded in his career four.

726
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: Five s seven. Yeah, seventh time he's been traded. Yeah,

727
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: happens a lot, you're right lyly, I didn't know.

728
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 6: Well, I remember when Phoenix signed Hims a free agent.

729
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 6: He was maybe to help the young guys there. They

730
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 6: ship him off to Washington. Washington didn't make the playoffs,

731
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: goes to Sacramento. Maybe he can be a veteran presence.

732
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: They ship him off to Portland. So he's one of

733
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 6: those players like we sort of value. We know he can.

734
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 6: He's a three and D type of guy. But he

735
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 6: needs to be on a contender, I guess. I mean,

736
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 6: he's not really on one now, but he needs to.

737
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 6: He needs to be in a team that's that's trying

738
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 6: to win, not trying to groom the younger guys. I guess.

739
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Possibly Portland does create a seven point two million

740
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: and a one point seven million trade exception as part

741
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: of this deal. I do think both of these teams

742
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: are going to be making some more uh whatever call

743
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: it minor moves, maybe here before the deadline. You know.

744
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: Obviously Dwenne Edmond still once out in dream and Sacramento

745
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: if they can find a diaco for him. But good

746
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: on the Kings for at least picking up some picks

747
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: here in really nothing that's going to hurt them long term.

748
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: Then that's why they got those picks, because they get

749
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: out of a risin help out the Blazers with their books.

750
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 5: As I said, Semi Swami swan again, Yeah, all right.

751
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: Let's get two losers of the NBA weekend Lee, who

752
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: do you have?

753
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 6: I'm going with a team that only played once, the

754
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 6: Houston Rockets on Saturday night had a home date against

755
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Lakers, and things started off okay, they

756
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 6: took a lead into halftime, but then it just the

757
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 6: wheels just fell off in the third quarter. And the

758
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 6: thing with the Rockets, we know they like to just

759
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: get out there and shoot threes, and really that's their

760
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 6: motus operandi is like we're just going to try to

761
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 6: just basically out it's like a track meet, and we're

762
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 6: just going to try to score as many points as

763
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 6: we can, which is fine. They've had a level of

764
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 6: success with that. But the concern for me just again

765
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 6: watching that one is they really don't have a plan

766
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 6: B at all at all. It's like just keep shooting

767
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 6: guys one for eleven from three in that third quarter

768
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 6: that cost them the game in the end. Now you

769
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: look at one game and say, well, they you know,

770
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 6: weren't firing, and other games when they're all hot, it

771
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 6: looks great. But just from what we've seen in the

772
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 6: playoffs scoring in the last couple of years, this sort

773
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 6: of tends to happen at some point, and the Ruckets

774
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 6: don't have a way of even just saying, all right,

775
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 6: when they're not falling, maybe let's just try something else.

776
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 6: It's okay to take a couple of mid rangers from

777
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 6: time to time, or just try something else. Don't shoot

778
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: it as soon as you get it.

779
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 5: I know that.

780
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 6: It's sort of their philosophy is just like D'Antoni likes

781
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 6: the guys just shoot it if you're open. But it

782
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 6: just drives me crazy sometimes when I'm just like, okay,

783
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 6: I mean, just give it five seconds, guys, you know, like,

784
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 6: just give it five seconds. You haven't scored for like

785
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 6: ten straight possessions.

786
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: Just take a breath, right, you know, take a mid range,

787
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: just do it. Just do what do you think about?

788
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: You know, D'Antoni and even Westbrook and Harden like seeing

789
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 2: everybody relax here because they've lost three in a row,

790
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: they've dropped four or five. You know, they're in a

791
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: bit of a funk here, but they're like, hey, look,

792
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 2: an Tony was basically saying, look at us last year.

793
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: We were basically in the last place in the Western

794
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 2: Conference at the start of the year, and we finished

795
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 2: you know, we finished a regular season just fine. I

796
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: think that's fair or well the mentality.

797
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 6: I know, there's still only two and a half games

798
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 6: back of third with the Nuggets, but I just I

799
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 6: don't believe that they've gotten any substance under this game.

800
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, if it works and they get

801
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: hot and they go on a four or five game

802
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 6: streak of everyone being on fire, it'll look great. But

803
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 6: in games like this and a nationally televised game against

804
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 6: the Lakers, it's like, I think it wasn't a total humiliation,

805
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 6: but I think it was like, Wow, they just don't

806
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 6: seem to have learned their lessons from years gone by. Either. Yeah,

807
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 6: that's I mean, I thought Westbrook was okay, particularly that

808
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 6: first half. You talk about Kusm being switched on to

809
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 6: him the second half. Westbrook's played some games where it's

810
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 6: like he's aggressive, you take advantage's advantage of defensive matchup.

811
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 6: But then I just I just think, man, they just

812
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 6: just just stop firing away here, just give it a break.

813
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 6: But they won't.

814
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 2: They won't. I mean, know that break.

815
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 6: That's the Mare strategy. It's the D'Antoni strategy. They don't

816
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 6: care about how the game looks. I just they believe

817
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 6: that this is gonna get them a championship. And right

818
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 6: now I think they're further from a championship than getting

819
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 6: closer to.

820
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: It had to be a little humiliating too, with so

821
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: many Lakers fans in attendance and cheering on Lebron and

822
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: chanting m VP. That sucks too, in your own burne,

823
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: like you said in a primetime matchup on ABC, Yeah,

824
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. I mean, and they had looked great

825
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 2: in the first half. Yeah, this is the Rockets. So

826
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: that's this is how it goes with them. It's gonna do.

827
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen in the regular season where they they

828
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: lose four or five and then they win six or seven.

829
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: And it's unfortunately probably gonna happen in playoff series two.

830
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: And you're just praying that it lasts for two and

831
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: a half months straight.

832
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's tough because you can feel hard and feels

833
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 7: very tired to me. Like the past week and a half,

834
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 7: he's been playing a whole bunch of minutes. He's been

835
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 7: having some really low shooting percentage. But like you're saying, Lee,

836
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 7: there's not much of a plan B. Westbrook is kind

837
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 7: of the Plan B, and he's not able to really

838
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 7: carry the whole load for the Rockets right now, So

839
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 7: Hardin has to be out there playing, doing a whole

840
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 7: bunch for them to be a successful team and try

841
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 7: and keep their seating in the Western Conference. And then

842
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 7: that of course plays a factor when they get into

843
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 7: the playoffs, and then he's wearing down a little more

844
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 7: when the game's even more intense. Maybe they just got

845
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 7: to take some mid rangers, give those threes a break.

846
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 7: Maybe just giving them a break.

847
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 6: So they're three games up of Okay see, and then

848
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 6: six and a half up on Memphis for eight. So

849
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 6: they're probably where they are right now. They're probably going

850
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 6: to finish fifth or sixth, maybe fourth, you know, depending

851
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: on how those other teams go. But yeah, just when

852
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 6: you look at Utah and in the first round last year,

853
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 6: they killed the Jazz. You know, they had no problems

854
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 6: at all against them, but then again against the Warriors,

855
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 6: they're not working. Okay, that's it. We don't have any

856
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 6: other idea of what to do, so Rockets.

857
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: So a loser of the weekend for Ley there, Who

858
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: do you got, Trey?

859
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 7: The slug Life Calves are loser of the weekend. They

860
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 7: lost Friday to the Grizzlies, lost Saturday to the Bulls.

861
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 7: They blew a double digit lead against the Bulls as

862
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 7: Zach Lavine went for forty two auditioning for an All

863
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 7: Star spot. But let's talk about that Friday game. Because

864
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 7: Tristan Thompson was ejected for slapping a butt. Tristan Thompson

865
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 7: and Jay Crowder got into it with each other. They

866
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 7: picked up a couple of technical fouls earlier. So then

867
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 7: later in the game, as Crowder was leaving, he says

868
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 7: something to Tristan Thompson. Thompson just gives him a little

869
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 7: slap on the booty as he walks by, earns him

870
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 7: his second technical for taunting. He gets the old heave

871
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 7: ho which leads to an actual conversation on the record

872
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 7: with an NBA official. Ken Mauer was said was asked

873
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 7: did the second technical file have anything to do with

874
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 7: words exchanged between Thompson and Jay Crowder or was it

875
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 7: simply the butt slap? Mauer responds, just simply the butt slap.

876
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: It's a real.

877
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 3: Quote from a real NBA official.

878
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 7: Obviously, Crowder and Thompson played half a seat in together

879
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 7: on the cast, so they got a little bit of

880
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 7: a relationship, and Tristan Thompson was pretty funny to hear afterwards,

881
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 7: basically being like, well, I guess you can't talk to

882
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 7: anybody who you used to play basketball with anymore because

883
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 7: they don't know that we were teammates. All I did

884
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 7: was slap him on the butt. Crowder says, loud of bark,

885
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 7: no bite.

886
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: I'll just leave it at that. This anywhere pretty reminiscent

887
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 2: of Morris Peterson and Vince Carter way back. I think

888
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 2: that was six when Vince was on the nets and

889
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 2: Mopete on the wraps, because that was like the slap fight, right, Remember,

890
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: didn't Vince like he like chokingly slaps mo Pete. Yeah,

891
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: Mopete slaps him back, and then I think it was

892
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: Steve Javy was the only one to see the Mo

893
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 2: Pete slape. You're out of here, Yeah, that's similar.

894
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah.

895
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 7: There's actually a long history of like every I don't know,

896
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 7: like every ten years, there's a random ejection for butt slapping,

897
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 7: like I think Uh Boogie and Zach Randolph had one.

898
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 7: There's like a Grant Hill and Reggie Evans slapping butts.

899
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 6: That was a preseason game, I think. And the greatest

900
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 6: thing about the Reggie and the Grand Hill one is

901
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 6: how they both get ejected and you see them walking

902
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 6: off the court together like two naughty school boys. You know,

903
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 6: there was a lot more aggression in there, but slapping,

904
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 6: Like it was like, hey, he don't slap me, and

905
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 6: then Grant slaps him back and then Reggie goes at him.

906
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

907
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 6: In this case, Tristan Thompson was like, just on your

908
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 6: way through there, Jay, crowd, I mean, come on, that

909
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 6: was gentle.

910
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, totally agree. Yeah, but we've been tracking the boost

911
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 7: all season long.

912
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 5: So this was huge to see.

913
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: This was big. So Tristan Thompson the loser of the week

914
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: unfortunately for getting tosser. Just touching a boos heye to

915
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 2: see it got.

916
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 5: The Atlanta Hawks might seem weird because they won in

917
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 5: San Antonio on Friday. Yeah, first time the Hawks have

918
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 5: won in San Antonio since nineteen ninety seven. Atlanta's starting

919
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 5: five on Friday weren't born the last time they won

920
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 5: in Santor. All five guys Tree and Kevin Herder, Camratish,

921
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 5: DeAndre Brembrie and John Collins. The Hawks had lost twenty

922
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 5: one straight in San Antonio. So why shouldn't we be

923
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 5: applauding the Hawks after the weekend? Well, they go home

924
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 5: and they lose on Saturday at the Pistons. The Pistons

925
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 5: one thirty six to one oh three. They gave up

926
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 5: seventy six bench points. That's like a whole team's worth

927
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 5: right there. Marky Morris twenty two off the bench on

928
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 5: seven of ten. Sphe me Hei Luke Spee had twenty

929
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 5: five and shot nine of eleven. Pisson shot nearly sixty

930
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 5: percent overall. That just means team isn't ready to rotate

931
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 5: and play defense. And I guess it's a double loss

932
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 5: because it kind of hurts Trey Young's All Star chances

933
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 5: just because they remain in the Eastern Conference basement when

934
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 5: they could have been up in fourteenth if they won

935
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 5: that game. So just a stinky, sneaky, a little end

936
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 5: of a back to back there.

937
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially for the crazy comeback too. They were down

938
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: pretty big to the Spurs to pull that off and

939
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: heard it with the big shot. Yeah, you see a

940
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: couple of big ones.

941
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: keV.

942
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 2: Yes, they call him keV keV. We're calling Kevin. Heard

943
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: her keV? Big keV? What big keV? Oh? Come on?

944
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 5: Trey Young got got away with a behind the back

945
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 5: pass on that big keV game winner right there. If

946
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 5: it got stolen, I mean it was pretty much in

947
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 5: the open because it was the hockey. Yeah, yeah, would

948
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 5: he would He would be getting killed for being all

949
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 5: fancy schmancy. But it worked out. A crazy, crazy behind

950
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: the back leads to a game winner from Kevin Herder.

951
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,959
Speaker 5: And yeah, they looked fine that night. But you can't

952
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 5: lose by thirty three at home to the Detroit Pistons,

953
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 5: who are also a losing basketball team.

954
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: Oh that's a bad, bad loss. You're right, Yeah, a

955
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 2: couple other mini losers just quickly here, guys, the Sixers

956
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 2: caught with six players on the floor. This was amazing

957
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 2: technical foul. They had six men out there toward the

958
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: end of the first quarter over the weekend. After a

959
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: lot of like yelling and confusion like Furkan cork Maz's

960
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: three was wiped off the board and the possession was

961
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,919
Speaker 2: awarded to the Bulls. Jim Boylan was furious Sixers coach

962
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 2: Brett Brown. He revealed after the game that Kyle O'Quinn

963
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: was meant to come in for Tobias Harris, but the

964
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: confusion stem because they got this new rotation going. But

965
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: it's pretty funny. If you haven't seen the clip, it

966
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: definitely would have been in an old weekend whoops. Oh yeah,

967
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: count those guys two six, and then like two of

968
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: them try and get off. That's my other favorite part

969
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 2: of the whole thing. After the three goes, it's like, oh,

970
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: I'll get off, say if anybody notices. But that's obviously

971
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 2: a little mini loser. They got the win. The Sixers

972
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: did this one. Though. The NBA is shelving the vote

973
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: on schedule overhaul, at least according to Woesh, they no

974
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 2: longer plan to have this vote in April with the

975
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: owners to vote on this possible restructuring of the league

976
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: calendar in a few years. Teams were informed on Friday

977
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 2: that it wants to continue studying and discussing those three

978
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: very significant proposals of the calendar, an in season tournament,

979
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: a play in tournament at the end, and then the

980
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: reseting of the conference finalists the NBA. I guess I'd

981
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 2: hope that they would get two thirds majority, of which

982
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 2: you would need to make these changes. So I wonder

983
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,959
Speaker 2: what the hold up is here, Like have they heard

984
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: from some of the owners and are not confident that

985
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: this would be passed through? I don't know, or is

986
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 2: it just literally they want to like look at this

987
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: more and try and come up with the consensus of

988
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: when you would have the the mid season tournament or

989
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: in season tournament, because that's sort of still up for debate.

990
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: Is it around Thanksgiving? And is after is it after

991
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: the New year? Like right now? Sort of. There's concerns

992
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: about the conference finalist thing, which everybody thought was like

993
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: the most obvious one, like, oh yeah, let's take the

994
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: fourth best teams at the end and let's try and

995
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: get the two best teams remaining in the finals regardless

996
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: of conference. But there's traveler travel concerns.

997
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 6: That's the w NBA is having the plane of the

998
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 6: mid season they are. I wonder if they thought, let's

999
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 6: see how that goes.

1000
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: Goes maybe maybe maybe and again and Was in his

1001
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 2: article says like this isn't like a done deal. This

1002
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: doesn't mean like this is all off the board, and

1003
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: that it's not even impossible that it's in place for

1004
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 2: the seventy fifth uh, you know, anniversary of the NBA

1005
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 2: in a couple of years, but not right now. They're

1006
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: not going to vote in April. That can't be a

1007
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: good sign. Though.

1008
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 7: To me, it feels like we're just going to be

1009
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 7: hearing about it again in November of next year. Every

1010
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 7: single year they'll come out with these ideas, We'll talk

1011
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 7: about it for three weeks and then I don't know,

1012
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 7: we got to talk about it a little.

1013
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 5: More emergency pod. I thought were going to have an

1014
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 5: emergency pod for them delaying the vote. Why the heck not.

1015
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 5: Let's talk schedule, baby.

1016
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. You wonder if like they leak this, they get

1017
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 2: it out there to the to the NBA world and

1018
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 2: see what the reaction is and see how people think

1019
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: about it, like all you know, oh, okay, this could work,

1020
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: or that's stupid, I'll never work.

1021
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 5: So apparently they're talking to the teams in great detail,

1022
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 5: and that some of the teams, according to Woj wanted

1023
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 5: that in season tournament a little bit later from starting

1024
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 5: at Christmas Day.

1025
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, then the Thanksgiving a little spot there, and

1026
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: then and then look, the whole thing too, is there

1027
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 2: is a reduction in this proposal. This you know, in

1028
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 2: theory from eighty two games down to seventy eight regular

1029
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: season games. Well, you got to convince owners some of

1030
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: these guys, like, you're gonna lose money on your homegates there,

1031
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose a couple but there will be a

1032
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: financial loss. But in the big picture, you actually might

1033
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: make more money.

1034
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,879
Speaker 5: Just go in that tournament, you get more home games.

1035
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, all right. So those are our winners

1036
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: and losers from the NBA weekend. Let's hear from you

1037
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: guys at No Dunks, Inc. Hashtag No Dunks task tweeted.

1038
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 5: The night, tweet out the night. Wow Twitter. To understand

1039
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 5: this tweet of the night, you have to know this

1040
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 5: meme featuring the great Paul Rudd. Let's hear it, JD.

1041
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: Hey, look at us, look at us. Who would have

1042
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: thought it's not me?

1043
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 5: Not me? I love that it's a great one one

1044
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 5: work time JAD because it's great.

1045
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 2: Hey, look at us, look at us. Who would have thought.

1046
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 5: It's not me Paul Rud. Now you well you this weekend.

1047
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 5: My friend Paul Rudd is a big Kansas City Chiefs fan.

1048
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 5: They were in the AFC game this weekend. It's a

1049
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 5: big deal for any Chiefs fan. He was on his

1050
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 5: way to the game when Sports Illustrated writer Charlotte Wilder

1051
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 5: spotted him. She tweeted, Paul Rudd is on my flight

1052
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: to Casey and I'm fighting the urge to stop by

1053
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 5: his seat and say, hey, look at it who just

1054
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 5: to see if he'll say not me. She then reported, Okay,

1055
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 5: I said hi to Paul Rudd and told him I

1056
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 5: was going to say look at us, but that I didn't,

1057
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 5: and he seemed to appreciate that. Also said if he

1058
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 5: wanted to talk about the Chiefs he could find me,

1059
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 5: and he said, okay, if I want to talk about

1060
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 5: the Chiefs, I'll find you. Very nice guy. Then, after

1061
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 5: the Chiefs won, Wilder tweeted a photo of her and

1062
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 5: Rudd with this, I found Paul Rudd in the Chief's

1063
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 5: locker room and said, Hey, it's me, the girl from

1064
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 5: the plane, and he gives me a hug, glances around

1065
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 5: the room and says Hey, look at us.

1066
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 3: Who would have thought?

1067
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 5: And I passed out?

1068
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 2: Hey look at us, look at us, who would have thought?

1069
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 5: It's not me? Thank you so much from that story

1070
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 5: from Charlotte Wilder. Also, I like this tweet. Fake Mike

1071
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 5: malloy tweeted Paul Rudd not being Canadian doesn't feel right. Hmm,

1072
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 5: totally true. Feels Canadian to me. His Wikipedia page though,

1073
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 5: he had his bar mitzvah in the province of Ontario

1074
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 5: in Canadas, so his penises Canadian sort of. Uh what?

1075
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 5: He went to the University of Kansas. I'm just gonna

1076
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 5: move on, JD. I don't I don't want to explain that.

1077
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 5: I don't want to explain my weird way of thinking.

1078
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 5: He went to the University of Kansas. That's why he

1079
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,479
Speaker 5: is a big Chiefs fan. I guess he's a Saint

1080
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 5: Louis guy.

1081
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: I think too right.

1082
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 5: I think he was born in the Jurors, but maybe

1083
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 5: he's spent a lot of time there in the Midwest

1084
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 5: hanging out.

1085
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: So who do we go? We got Chiefs forty nine

1086
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: ers super Bowl Lee who you like the line right now?

1087
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: Small Kansas City favored by one and a half. Oh,

1088
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: basically a Pickum, give me the Niners. Yeah, I thought

1089
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers look great versus the pack. Unfortunately,

1090
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: train and I watched that one.

1091
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, as most are going to be able

1092
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 7: to reprise his record setting performance on a big stage

1093
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 7: like the super Bowl.

1094
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 2: We'll see. It was amazing. This guy's the next Barry Sanders.

1095
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 2: My appearing was killing him. Man, that's awesome. Yeah, it's

1096
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: I also liked with the excuse me the Chiefs, that

1097
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: bad luck Chuck guy stayed home. Did you see that

1098
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: from the game prior? He was the guy that left

1099
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 2: when his team was the Chiefs were down like twenty

1100
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: one nothing or twenty four nothing, whatever it was, and

1101
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, for the good of the kingdom,

1102
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: here I'm leaving. That became a big story. Patrick Mahomes

1103
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: was asked about it, So the Chiefs made sure he

1104
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: stayed at home, and he was nowhere near the game

1105
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 2: on this Sunday. Got it done crazy, So I guess

1106
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: I guess he ain't going to the super Bowl. He

1107
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 2: can't have bad luck Chuck there cannot know, But yeah,

1108
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 2: who you liked ask Chiefs forty nine ers.

1109
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 5: I got two weeks to think about it. I don't

1110
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 5: know Chiefs forty nine ers. I kind of want the

1111
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 5: underdog Chiefs to wine. I feel like the underdog team.

1112
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 7: Who you got in the Pro Bowl AFCF Ooh. I

1113
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 7: like what I saw from the AFC this year.

1114
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: They had a lot of good players. Don't they play?

1115
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: Don't they do like the skills like challenge or whatever

1116
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: they call their version of.

1117
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 7: Three point shootout dunk contest?

1118
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 5: No, they played quarterback? Is it through a big hoop?

1119
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah, they used to do that. They still

1120
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 2: do some of them. They played dodgeball, you know that.

1121
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: They literally have a game of dodgeball, which I think

1122
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 2: is awesome. Should do that in the NBA too. Every

1123
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 2: sports played dodgeball. It's such a great idea. Yeah, okay,

1124
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 2: so yeah, you're right. We got two weeks. My goodness.

1125
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: Were having a Super Bowl party this year? Man, I

1126
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 2: don't know.

Speaker 6: It's on his wife.

1128
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: Really, I don't think we're having a place.

1129
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 5: Why is it on me?

1130
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 6: Because if your wife is still pregnant, then might we

1131
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 6: have it at your place?

1132
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 5: Okay? But if she's given birth, you can feel free

1160
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: Friday night's game was the Hawks in San Antonio. Talked

1161
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 2: about it very briefly. Their Spurs were favored by eight

1162
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: and a half. Look good for a second, No, no, no,

1163
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 2: big keV and the Hawks came back. Hawks cover, and

1164
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: Task was the only one to take Atlanta. That win,

1165
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 2: maybe save Task in the month of January would have

1166
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 2: put you pretty far back, not a ton of games ago.

1167
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: But instead Task, he's five and seven. Trey and I

1168
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: with the lost are now six and six, and Lee

1169
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 2: is eight and four. So it's getting close here. What's

1170
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: our game today? Here? On MLK Day fourteen games to

1171
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 2: pick from? Where are we going?

1172
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 5: All right, goodness, I'm gonna go one with that's not

1173
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 5: on national television. Pacers at the Jazz should be a

1174
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 5: great one. In Utah. Jazz are favored by seven and

1175
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 5: a half. The Pacers on the second half of what

1176
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 5: many called the toughest back to back in the league,

1177
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 5: going from Denver to Utah. It's tough.

1178
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 2: Another biggish, biggish line here around that. That's seven and

1179
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: a half.

1180
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 5: Mark go ahead, Lee elevation to elevation. Can they deal

1181
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 5: with the air again?

1182
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 6: I think the Paces can cover that.

1183
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: All right, you go to cover, I'll go jazz.

1184
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I'm also on the jazz for this

1185
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 7: one third and four nights as well for the Pacers.

1186
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: And they had a tough one last night.

1187
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very very tough back to back, so

1188
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 5: I'll go with the Jazz as well.

1189
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 2: Okay, three of us take in Utah to win by

1190
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: eight or more, only Leley taking the Pacers to cover.

1191
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 2: As I said, fourteen games on today, starting pretty soon

1192
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: at two pm Eastern here. What game are you guys

1193
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 2: most excited for?

1194
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 6: Rap His Hawks?

1195
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: Are you going down to here? Yes? Yeah, a lot

00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: of us heading down to the Raptors Hawks here at

1197
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: the Fortress in Atlanta. That's right. I feel like it's

1198
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: gonna be one of those classic Hawks games where it's like,

1199
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 2: probably the Raps go up like, I don't know, fifteen

1200
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: to twenty, but the Hawks will hopefully fight back and

1201
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,399
Speaker 2: make it again. I just hope for a close game.

1202
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, i'd like to see a Raps win. I'm

1203
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: gonna have a lout re jersey on. Don't you don't

1223
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 5: it's seven straight games, and the Pearls have been playing

1224
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 5: pretty well. That one on TNT should be a good one.

1225
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 5: Small market versus small market little guys are so little guys?

1226
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:45,160

1227

Speaker 2: And then we got another one on tn T Laker

1229
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,360

00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: Piecers jazz one on Leapas should be awesome too, and
