Speaker 5: No Buffs later. Okay.

63
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: So, as you can tell, we got a lot to

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: do today, So let's get through the NBA Action twelve

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: games my God, and we're gonna start with Steph Curry

66
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: injuring his foot versus the Celtics and Steve Kerr believing

67
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: the play was dangerous. We'll get to the Celtics sort

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: of dominating the Warriors. But you know, Warriors fans tasks

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: are waiting this morning to find out the MRI results

70
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: on Steph Curry's foot here because he didn't play in

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: the second half. I know we have the actual clip

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: here of Smart diving for the loose ball and Curry

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: getting injured. Do you agree with Steve Kerr about him

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: saying Marcus Smart was dangerous on this play.

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: No, I don't agree. It's a loose ball and Marcus

76
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: Smart dives on the floor. It's just so hard to adjudicate.

77
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: It's so hard to judge whether or not this is

78
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: dirty or not. Because the quarter before that, in fact,

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: Draymond Green entered the game, poked one away from Grant Williams,

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: got on the floor, and the broadcasters lotted him for it.

81
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: What a play by Draymond And you gotta love this

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: Marcus Mart. It's a similar situation, although Draymond Green and

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: Grant Williams they both hit the floor. I think if

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: Steph hits the floor, he doesn't get his foot turned.

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: And I think that's the only thing that you can

86
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: really judge when a guy hits the floor like this,

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 3: because it was a loose ball in an open area

88
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: of the floor, so a guy went for it first.

89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: That's what happened in other instances where there's a guy

90
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: in between a loose ball and another guy, and you

91
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: dive at a guy's feet, that's different. But this was

92
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: again in an open area of the floor. Now, I

93
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: will say for the Warriors, faithful out there, Marcus Smart

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: didn't just dive straight at it. He dove as if

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: he was shielding Steph Curry from the ball. He kind

96
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: of turned his body to the right, and that's where

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: Steph ran into his foot. If Marcus Smart just dives

98
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: straight at the ball, I think it's a bit of

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: a different scenario. But I don't think you can call

100
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 3: this dirty. Even Draymond Green after the game said I

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: was standing right there, had the best angle. I didn't

102
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: see it. Think it was dirty, unnecessary Maybe a Draymond Green.

103
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, Draymond Green's a podcaster already, he's just finding

104
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: the right words. Yeah, But I don't think you can

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: call it dirty if you want it, if if you

106
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: want to take this conversation away from basketball, just band diving,

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: I think that's the only way you can really you

108
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: can really stop it. It's it's it's it's so hard

109
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: to judge number one and number two. I mean, there's

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: there's just there's just no way of taking this out

111
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: of the game unless you just remove diving, period, and

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: you don't want to remove ever dity.

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Draymond even said at every level of basketball,

114
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: you're taught to dive on the floor and go after

115
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: the loose ball. I mean, like you said, Draymond had

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: done it in this very game. So then you know

117
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: you're a bit of a hypocrite if you say, well,

118
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: I can do it, but you can't do it Marcus Smart.

119
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: So Steve Kerr his quotes were, I thought Marcus dove

120
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: into Steph. That's the specific word there, and that's what

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: I was upset about. A lot of respect from Marcus.

122
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: He's a hell of a player, a gamer, a competitor.

123
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: He went on to say, we talked after the game

124
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: and there were you know, you can see the clips

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: of them sort of talking converse. We're good, but I

126
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: thought it was a dangerous play.

127
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: That's yeah, I disagree. I agree with what Tas is

128
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: saying here because earlier this season, remember Blake Griffin, the

129
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 4: veteran diving on loose balls, and it was like, look

130
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: at this guy sacrificing his body. I really don't see

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: a whole lot of difference between what he did then

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: and what Marcus Smart who This is what Marcus Smart

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 4: has made his career on highlight hustle, real plays. Now okay,

134
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: maybe not a highlight, but hustle play there and the

135
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: fact that Steph got injured, it's obviously terrible, but I

136
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 4: don't think there was anything malicious. And I do think

137
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: that Marcus Smart went for the ball. And that's again,

138
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: that's like you see when guys dive and no one

139
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: gets injured, to like, look at this guy hustling getting

140
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: down on the floor. You know, Teammates love that sort

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: of work. When a guy get like Steph Curry gets injured,

142
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: it's like, well, no, you shouldn't have done that. It

143
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: was dirty, And I just don't think that's accurate in

144
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: this case. I don't think Marcus Smart was in any

145
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: way trying to hurt Steph. He was just going for

146
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 4: the ball and trying to shield and protect and he

147
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: got the ball.

148
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: You know. So it's terrible.

149
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: It's unfortunaten't it. But to sort of, you know, Steve

150
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: Kerr was sort of saying, I'm not blaming him, but

151
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: he sort of also did lump him with it all. Anyway,

152
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: I think he's more just pissed off because it was

153
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: the Steph Curry who got injured, so you know, and

154
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving the same sort of thing. Remember, he was

155
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: complaining someone diving at him earlier in the season after

156
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: he dived as well. So diving on the ball is

157
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: something that guys have to do in order to secure

158
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: the possession. And it's like when you go down, you're

159
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: when you're on the ground, you could get a boot

160
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: in the face, your head hit the floor, all those

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 4: things can happen. But it didn't to Marcus Martin this

162
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: He got the possession. So it's it's it's terrible for

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: Steph Curry. But I don't really think we can point

164
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: at Marcus Martin say that was a dirty play.

165
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: You just did, Trey.

166
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Any thoughts. I know we've had arguments before on this

167
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: very podcast about diving for loose balls. I think Tess

168
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: is actually right. There should be a rule if one

169
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: guy dives for a ball, hey, everybody else just dive

170
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: because you're actually less like likely to of course have

171
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: an ankle or a leg get buckled. But yeah, what

172
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: do you think of this one?

173
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I usually and probablyably the one who's gonna say

174
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: most often that a that a play is dirty. And

175
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 5: this to me was dangerous because diving by legs, like

176
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: you're saying, Lee, it's always dangerous. If you hit the floor,

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: it's gonna be dangerous. But it didn't seem dirty like

178
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: Tasa say. And it kind of seems like Marcus Smart

179
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: does turn into stuff when he's diving, But to me,

180
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: that's because he was trying to avoid Klay Thompson a

181
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 5: little bit. Like Clay Thompson is right there reach him

182
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: for the ball, So Marcus Smart dives towards his legs,

183
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: but he's trying to avoid Clay. He said he didn't

184
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 5: see Curry Marcus Smart did, which seems a little reasonable

185
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 5: to me because his back is to him as he's turning.

186
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, I agree this wasn't dirty, but I mean

187
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 5: it was a dangerous play. But that's what happens when

188
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: you get on the ground, and that's what's gonna happen.

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 5: They're never gonna ban diving on the floor, so we're

190
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 5: gonna have this kind of thing happen two or three

191
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: times a season basically.

192
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

193
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: And I guess Kerr was maybe too lumping this particular

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: play in with Smart, who got a flagrant Uh what

195
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: playing defense? With his foot there. You know, this is

196
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: what Marcus Smart does. He's everything to try to you know,

197
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: get the ball or to stop a basket. But that

198
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: one he did get, you know, digged for a flag,

199
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: and I think that was probably right. But the Celtics

200
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: defense in the end of this game, and we will

201
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: wait to like, hopefully this is nothing serious. I mean,

202
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: hopefully ah ankle hurt, he comes up hobbling. Okay, let's

203
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: not have them play in the second half. We don't

204
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: need this victory by any means. This is in the

205
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: playoffs and hopefully Steph's back in a game or two.

206
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: That's what Draymond Green was saying. Unnecessary. Maybe there's a

207
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: no diving rule in the regular season, I mean, because

208
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: it's unnecessary because it's March. I guess you know that's

209
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: and so it's a funny thing. I do believe Marcus

210
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: Smart that maybe he didn't see Steph, maybe because he

211
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 3: did look at Steph as soon as he grabbed the

212
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: ball and passed it away, he looked up. He looked

213
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: up and saw Steph because he realized that he was

214
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: on something. He was on a body part, right, And

215
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 3: so whether or not it's dirty it's like almost it's

216
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: natural though, even if he did see Steph to shield

217
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: his to shield stephf from the ball, It's it's it's

218
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: just like a natural thing.

219
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: It's like a box out dive.

220
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: It it's a box out dive. Yeah, it's like anytime

221
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: you you're going out of bounds, you know, you try

222
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: and get yourself in between the defender and the ball.

223
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: It's just you know, it's like my ball. You know,

224
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: we're playing sports here, and so it's yeah, it's it's

225
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: just such a gray area. It's stinks. It stanks for everybody.

226
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: The Celtics top rated defense though, just lock down Golden Stage. Yeah, Courier,

227
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: no Curry. They held them to under thirty percent shooting

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: in the first half and thirty seven point two percent overall.

229
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 2: Really as they continue just to flex their defensive chops here.

230
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, three quarters the Warriors didn't score twenty points. That

231
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: is just unheard of now. Again, Steph being out affects that,

232
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: but they've still got a very good team, very good

233
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 4: offensive team, and they just couldn't get a sniff. I

234
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: didn't think against Boston. Boston just locked them down. I mean,

235
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: Ol Harford, you know, it's funny he was in Boston.

236
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: He left voluntarily, went to Philadelphia. On paper, it looked

237
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: like that would be a great fit. Didn't work out.

238
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: He goes to Okay. See he comes back to Boston

239
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: at thirty five years old, and what a great like

240
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: addition he's been for them. You know, he's certainly doesn't

241
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 4: have the same athleticism he used it, but he's got

242
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: the smarts. He knows how to just box out himself,

243
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: you know, contest shots without even blocking them, and just

244
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 4: his presence there is so important to them. But I

245
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 4: thought Jayalen Brown didn't shoot all that well last night.

246
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: I thought he was just hard for the Warriors to

247
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 4: stop as well. When he's got to going on there,

248
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: he's got a really nice offensive game. And then Marcus Smart,

249
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: he actually played pretty well offensively hitting shots. He's a

250
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: bit of a you know, feast or famine guy still,

251
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: but he was on there last night. So yeah, the

252
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,239
Speaker 4: Celtics are absolutely flying right now. They look so impressive

253
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: at both ends of the floor. Their offense looks like

254
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: it's really functioning well, and defensively they rarely get beaten

255
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: or give up an open uncontested shot. Someone's rotating someone's

256
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: closing out, someone's like switching and getting to that guy.

257
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: And the Warriors had absolutely no answer last night. You know,

258
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: even if Steff had played, I think the Celtics still

259
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: win this game because when he was on the court,

260
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: they were leading and Boston's defense was incredible.

261
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: Anything to add to the game itself.

262
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: Now they've gotten both of them have gotten to the

263
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 3: seventy game mark. This is desperation time to get it

264
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: together for the Warriors, for sure. In the Celtic are

265
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: are feeling good, but like when we're getting that to

266
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 3: almost single digits here, it is serious time. Like for

267
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers, it's too late, you know, put up the

268
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 3: Drake meme. It's way too late to get it together.

269
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: But like when at this point the real teams are

270
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: really rolling in Celtics, yeah, they could. They could pop

271
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: up to whatever spot they want in the Eastern Conference,

272
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: which is crazy.

273
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: It only feels right that the Bean Town boys got

274
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: the victory the night before Saint Patrick's Day, Right, It'd

275
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: almost be weird if they came in with an l

276
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: and we'd be discussing that. Well, let's keep it going then,

277
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: because again, million games to talk about. Spencer Dinwitty plays

278
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: the hero once again as he buries his old team,

279
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets at the buzzer TK. I know JD's

280
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: got the clip here here it is, I go double Luca.

281
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: He's oh wow, nice recover though, but it doesn't.

282
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 5: Matter, no problem what you got late. Spencer Dinwinnie or

283
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: Spencer Winwitty. Got to be both in a week. That's crazy, man.

284
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 4: I went with Dinwitty. I'm just gonna stay in my

285
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: liney yard. There's lots of weenddy and all that sort

286
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: of stuff that well Weinwitty I should or wind Diddy, yes, yes,

287
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: but wow, awesome stuff.

288
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was awesome game. Duff. Yeah, like I said,

289
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: he got to beat both this week. He hit the

290
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: three with eleven seconds remaining to beat the Celtics had

291
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 5: the buzzer beater. I guess this was a buzzer beater

292
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 5: safe the NEETs right though they did go and review

293
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 5: it right away. Great celebration for Spencer Didwitty? I thought,

294
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 5: like hanging out in the crowds. I think maybe that

295
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 5: was the first time we've seen those yellow ropes since

296
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 5: the twenty thirteenth finals. Basically they were back for whatever reason,

297
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: but fun stuff. Really fun fourth quarter, especially the last

298
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 5: minute of this one. The MAVs trailed by twelve heading

299
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: into the fourth, and they'd given up ninety one points

300
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 5: through the first three quarters. They've been pretty solid defensively.

301
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 5: They were doing a pretty good job of keeping Kevin

302
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: Durant in check. But they got even better in the

303
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, hell Brooklyn to twenty points. Dinwoodie meanwhile got high.

304
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: He scored fifteen in the fourth, which set us up

305
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: for a classic last minute of basketball tie game. With

306
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 5: thirty seconds left, MAVs ball Luka Doncic tortures his Slovenian

307
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 5: countryman Goren drags with the fallaway very nice nets. Do

308
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 5: not call a time out. Kevin Durant brings it up.

309
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: They run a couple of little ball screens, and then

310
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 5: he pulls a three right in Dinwitty and Dorian Finnie

311
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: Smith's face. Cash MAVs ball down one. They get a

312
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: time out. Luca brings it up a late double from kd.

313
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: He dishes at to Dinwitty and he cashes out the

314
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 5: crypto great stuff, great pass by donc It's great at

315
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 5: interviewed by Dinny Witty afterwards. I didn't do anything. It

316
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 5: was just Luca making a play, did a little something there.

317
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 5: Back to back game winners. We haven't seen that in months. Yeah,

318
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: I mean it's here, but still very good. Great stuff

319
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: from Dinwitty. An awesome win for the MAVs. This is

320
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, Spencer Dinwitty trade has been the best

321
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: trade of the trade deadline.

322
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

323
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: The MAVs are incredible in clutch time since he has

324
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: joined the team. And they just look like they make sense.

325
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: They look like they got their closing five and it

326
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: looks like they are peaking at the appsl rate time.

327
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: And I thought at the start of that fourth quarter

328
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: you mentioned they went down twelve going into it, they

329
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: were down sorry at fourteen. I think it was at

330
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: one point. Lucer on the bench. He doesn't come back

331
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: out until there was five point difference. That just shows

332
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: how well they did with Lucer on the bet. This

333
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: wasn't a Luca like takeover performance, even though he hit

334
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: that gorgeous.

335
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: Faced a monster game, but three for him.

336
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: But for Jason Kidd to be able to trust that

337
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: second unit to not just tread water but actually like

338
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: eat into the lead there from Brooklyn I thought was huge.

339
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: And then so Luca comes out fresh and he can

340
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: then command the game. And you saw him go inside

341
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: a couple of times. He's got that slow moo game.

342
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: The fade was beautiful, and then once again showing trust

343
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: in that teammate to give it to because he only

344
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: just made it. By the way, that shot only just

345
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: got off in time, you know, because the double came late.

346
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: I think I imagine Luca was thinking he was going

347
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: to take it until Durant came and then he thought,

348
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 4: all right, perfect, didn't we He basically the same spot

349
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: as the one he hit against Boston, sort of same area. Anyway,

350
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: this was a massive, massive win here for the Mavericks.

351
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 4: You know, team I've doubted a this season. It's starting

352
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: to you can stop to sort of see how they

353
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: can cause some real trouble here because even though they're

354
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 4: on a big team, they've got players who can really

355
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: execute out there. And Luca must be feeling really good

356
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: right now that he's got teammates he can really rely on.

357
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, the other day I said that the MAVs were

358
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: a little bit boring in crunch time because it's pretty predictable. Yeah,

359
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: high pick and roll, here we go spread. But in

360
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: this game, they won the fourth quarter thirty four to twenty,

361
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: with Luca taking his first shot just over two minutes

362
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: left in the quarter. It was everybody else doing it,

363
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: so it was It was a nice watch, for sure.

364
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: It was strange to see, Yeah, Luca go out his

365
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: countryman a couple of times there with the beautiful fade,

366
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: Steve Nash getting really upset with the one. Oh he

367
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: dragged his foot, Yeah he did. Who cares that he that? Yeah,

368
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: he also put his hand under the ball a couple

369
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: times as he dribbled it up for it before the

370
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: game winner. Now they're not calling that kind of stuff.

371
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: They barely get it off, and a lot of the shots,

372
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: you know, over Goran drag it. She would have been

373
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: nice if Ben Simmons was Ben Simmons was there, who

374
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: recently just got an epidural shot shot in his back.

375
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: You don't hear that? Not good ever, So yeah, he's

376
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: obviously got some serious back issues. Hopefully he comes back. Yeah,

377
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: I think the Nets feel good without Ben Simmons, without

378
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: Seth Curry, without Kyrie Irving in this game, and to

379
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: lose by a buzzer beater, but yeah, a great, a

380
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: great story for Spencer Dinwiddy coming back to the Brooklyn Nets. Yeah,

381
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 3: it was no big deal. He said, give me a break.

382
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: I mean he was he was going over to the

383
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 3: owner to Cuban. He was celebrating with everybody. He was like,

384
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: you guys, pay me. This is sick. You know, this

385
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: was this was amazing. It was an amazing moment for him.

386
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: I just hope he doesn't slow down, because I mean

387
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: there's they're, you know, barely squeaking out these wins with

388
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 3: Spencer Dinwiddy shooting some ridiculous numbers. So yeah, obviously a

389
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: very very fun, fun run here for the MAVs and

390
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: for Dinwiddie. Yeah, Maps fans again probably the most vocally

391
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: upset about their trade at the trade deadline because they

392
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: thought they gave up, you know, the most talented player

393
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 3: in that deal for Porzengis. And now they're super super happy.

394
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Two teams chasing the Brooklyn Nets in the play in

395
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: tournament in the Eastern Conference. They went out at last

396
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: night and we had LaMelo Ball scoring twenty two. The

397
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: Hornets pulled away elite to beat the Hawks one sixteen,

398
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: one or six, and in doing so have flipped Atlanta

399
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: there nine ten. So if you know, the playoffs started today.

400
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: The playing tournament started today. The Hornets would host the

401
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 2: Hawks in that nine ten matchup.

402
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 4: Good bad game, this one good bad, Yeah, I explained,

403
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: because man, that Hornets defense. If you're going to defend,

404
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: you've got to at least defend either the perimeter or

405
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: the paint, not neither. And the Hawks at one point,

406
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 4: I think we're ten for fifteen from downtown. I didn't

407
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: dig into the sort of open shots this morning in

408
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: NBA dot com stats, but the eye test tells me

409
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: one or two passes, and the Hawks had an opening

410
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: three look and everyone except for Trey Young could hit

411
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: a three there last night.

412
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: Remember what we said the sixty points last night, two

413
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: at the hand.

414
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think the Hornets, while they deserve the

415
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 4: win because of the way they closed this one out,

416
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: they also dodged a ball at the Trey Young just

417
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 4: had a bad game. Denla Gallinari went out injured as well.

418
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 4: So you know, a couple of guys who can shoot

419
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: threes weren't able to last night. DeAndre Hunter hit one,

420
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: bog Danovitch missed a couple as well, and then Kevin

421
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: hit some nice ones. But this one was close. Until

422
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 4: the last couple of minutes here, and it was really

423
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: like who's gonna be able to pull out some either

424
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: stops or hit some shots. PJ. Washington stepped up for

425
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: the Charlotte Hornets, had a nice end one, and you

426
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: heard on the call Dell Curry and Eric Collins are

427
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 4: like it was about an eight point game two minutes ago.

428
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 4: They're like, all right, use some clock here, use some clock.

429
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: PJ gets a ball and bang, fire's away.

430
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: Hits a three.

431
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: Oh, I just hit her three. Eric Dolls is great.

432
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 4: So yeah, they they get away with this one and

433
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: they do overtake the Hawks in the standings. Wasn't the

434
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: most convincing victory, but both teams desperate for it, and

435
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: I guess really it was just came down to sort

436
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: of home court advantage really was what got the Hornets

437
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 4: over line.

438
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: That's all. That's the only thing that.

439
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: Can separate them, because the Hawks had a chance, just

440
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 4: couldn't hit, just couldn't execute after they had been executing

441
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 4: well enough against a very very porous defense there from

442
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 4: the Charlotte Hornets. So good win for the Hornies and

443
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: just one of those windsday. You're just like man James

444
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 4: Brega can't be off Ginde like, yeah, we got one tonight.

445
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: Instead he's just like, yeah, I thank god we got

446
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: we survived that one.

447
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you said, it was a close, close

448
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: game until like the final couple of minutes and then

449
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: it turned into a bit of a blowout there. You

450
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: even had a lamello ball. I guess at the end

451
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: of it, you know, because there was still enough time

452
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 2: shot clockwise instead of just like sometimes you'll see them

453
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: just throw it away. Okay, we'll just take the turnover.

454
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: It's your ball. The game is over. He's like, I

455
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: just got fire three here, party hit four hits. His

456
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 2: fit starts dancing back, and you know, we'll see if

457
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: that comes into play in an eventual playing game bulletin

458
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: war material there for the Hawks. But yeah, do you

459
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: have anything to add to the Hornets win last night?

460
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was surprised that Olmelo didn't take a clothes

461
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 5: line or something after that one. But maybe that comes

462
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: in the play in tournament. But I don't know. I mean,

463
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 5: the Hawks just got to get something else outside of

464
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: Trey Young. He had fifteen assists, but the Hornets were

465
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 5: just like anybody else can beat US, and that's fine.

466
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: Obviously these two teams are likely to meet in the

467
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: play in tournament and we're likely to be there. But

468
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 5: are we going to be going to Charlotte or are

469
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 5: we going to be wow, staying local here in Atlanta.

470
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 5: Either way, it's gonna be like a one to fifty

471
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: to forty game when it comes to it. Because funny stuff,

472
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: but uh yeah, great game for PJ. Washington. Going small

473
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 5: really helped out the Hornets there, and the Hawks just

474
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: didn't have an answer.

475
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they split the season series, so that tiebreaker goes

476
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 3: out the window. Head to head and one loss percentage,

477
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: that goes out the window. Division leader wins, Well, that

478
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: goes out the window because they're in the same division.

479
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: If they tie division one loss percentage, we're going to

480
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: a fourth tiebreaker for this one. And it looks like

481
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: the Hornets have it. They do end up tied. Yeah,

482
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: they're up a game right now.

483
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 5: Oh they would be back, I think.

484
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the time of the year. Yeah, that's

485
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: the only area. Click on it.

486
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 2: That's the somehow divisions never went away, even though like

487
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 2: the standings would sort of lead you to believe that,

488
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: do you know what I mean? Like you have the

489
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: standings pages, you're not really seeing divisions all that much.

490
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: I know you can get to it and you can

491
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: look at it, but yeah, it's sort of like a

492
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: you know, an afterthought. But yeah, you get into the

493
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: tie breakers. You got to know your divisions and you

494
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: gotta know your divisions when it comes to Pearle too.

495
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, right, Yeah, so they are back, you

496
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: do indeed? Wow, I didn't really think about that. You

497
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: were going to a Hornets Hawks playing game nine ten?

498
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah you would think so, right, I mean it's a

499
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: one and done. It would have one and done. I mean,

500
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: hopefully the Hawks hang on to home.

501
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

502
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't think I want to driveling for a playing game,

503
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: but yeah I could be convinced. Yeah you want to. Sure, Okay,

504
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: well we'll see, we'll see. Montres had a really good

505
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: game off the bench there for the Hornets.

506
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: Was pretty actually funny you bring out. I thought they

507
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: would have gone with him a little bit more down

508
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: the stretched light, because look, playing defense in this game,

509
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: but Montrez was really good for them offensively, Like he's

510
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 4: all hustle and hard work and energy, and as Eric

511
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 4: Collins says, it's true he uses Bob why to floss

512
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: his teeth.

513
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I almost don't want to go to Charlotte

514
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: to watch the game in person because I want to hear. Yeah,

515
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: maybe I'll be like that weird guy that listens to

516
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: the game like the radio. Yeah, all right, another game

517
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: here will slip in, then we'll take a break, and

518
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: then we'll get to a bunch of the other actions.

519
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: So don't worry if we haven't talked about your team

520
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: or what you want us to talk about yet. Pascal

521
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: Siakam and the Raptors beat the Clippers to extend their

522
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: winning streak to five uh five and one road trip

523
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: there for the Raptors pretty impressive. They lost the first

524
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: game of the road trip to Cleveland. Then they go

525
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: out west and somehow beat you know, both LA teams

526
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: yet Phoenix and the mix there I'm forgetting everyone's thank you, Denver,

527
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: and there was somebody else They got five in a

528
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 2: row and this game, I mean the they almost gave

529
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: it away. Tests like like they were up six, looked

530
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: like it had it in hand, and then there was

531
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: some bad Scottie Barnes turnovers and some beautiful I mean

532
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: Reddy Jackson had a gorgeous finish inside like an up

533
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: and under in traffic, and the Clippers gave themselves a

534
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: chance to steal this, but the Raptors held on a

535
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: lot of it offensive rebounds, some big ones late there pressure,

536
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 2: so Chua for sure, another tap out one. The Raptors

537
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: are like, they're like the Grizzlies, you know, of the East.

538
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: I guess in the sense that they were one of

539
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: the best offensive rebounding teams in the league. Only the

540
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: Grizzlies are better in terms of like getting those offensive

541
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: boards per game, and it was they were instrumental in

542
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: this one. But yeah, I don't know you as a

543
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: Raptors fan, if you if you stayed up late.

544
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 5: I did not.

545
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: I was watching sort of, you know, the what do

546
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: you call the condensed sort of highlights from this one

547
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: this morning because it's a late, late start there.

548
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, they almost definitely almost gave it away. One

549
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: of my favorite things watching the Raptors is watching the

550
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: offensive barns because that's what it's all about. It's about

551
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: their second chance sessions. Do those go away a little

552
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 3: bit in the playoffs? They should, That's what really happens

553
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 3: with the teams, you know, locking in a little bit

554
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: more on the defensive ends. So that's scary for the Raps.

555
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: Yet it is a little scary for the Grizzlies as well.

556
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: But the Raptors are going to be there, They're going

557
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 3: to be fighting, and they define desperately want to get

558
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 3: into the playoffs and get out of the play in

559
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: cool because they want to stay away from the Brooklyn

560
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 3: next Oh yeah.

561
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: And they were helped out last night by Philadelphia beating

562
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers. That ties now the Raptors with Cleveland thirty

563
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: nine and thirty record, but the Calves hold that tiebreaker

564
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 2: they do in the head to head series, so that

565
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: could come into play. We'll see. But obviously still a

566
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: couple of weeks here for the Raptors to maybe jump them,

567
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 2: and I and I would think they would. The Raptors

568
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: have nine of their next thirteen their final thirteen I

569
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: should say regular season games at home, which is weird

570
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: because they've been about a road team.

571
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, but now they have fans.

572
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: Now they do have fans, so they are I'm with

573
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: you task they're set up here to pass.

574
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cleveland and the Cats just don't have Jared Allen.

575
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's such a big thing for them going

576
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: down the street.

577
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 5: Huge big week for Toronto next week. Bulls lost last

578
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: night as well, so they're only two games up on

579
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 5: the Cavs and the Raptors. And the Raps play the

580
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 5: Bulls in Chicago Monday, and then they've got Cleveland at

581
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 5: home on Thursday. They could be in New just six

582
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: seed next week easily.

583
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: There were times last season where it was fair to

584
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: question Toronto's decision to max out siakam h. I believe

585
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: I was one of those people questioning. I was like, well,

586
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: I don't I do not know about this. Is this

587
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: guy like really one of the best players in the game.

588
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: Those questions have been silenced he is. Yeah, I'm I

589
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: was wrong. I mean, we will see in playoffs, like,

590
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: is he ever gonna be the guy? Hey man, we

591
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: need a bucket go get us too. Maybe not, Maybe

592
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: we'll find out, but holy crap, I'm gonna go nuts

593
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 2: if he's actually not named to the All NBA team

594
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: at this point, If like a Brandon Ingram or a

595
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton or a mckill Bridges because of the Sun's

596
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: record get named over him. I'm gonna flip this table

597
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: because he's all NBA.

598
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: He is.

599
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 5: It's a heavy table.

600
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: He's very I might need some help clipping this table.

601
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 2: Spicyp is averaging twenty two, eight and five for the season,

602
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: and since you all started breaking shooting forty percent from

603
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: deep too, so he's got that back to unbelievable levels.

604
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: And I just was thinking, all NBA forwards, your locks

605
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: are Yannis Durant Tatum. Lebron's a lock. Even he's a lot,

606
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 2: he might leave the league in scoring. It's Lebron. He's

607
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 2: gonna be a lock. I'm sorry, I know, I know.

608
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: It's the Beal thing from a couple of years ago,

609
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: and it's Lebron's.

610
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so those are the four locks at the forward position,

611
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 2: and then likely Jimmy Butler No, no way, I mean

612
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: he's gonna be in the conversation here. Okay, Hey, this

613
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: is good for me if getting past gals the doucument,

614
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: I think. I guess what I'm getting at is the

615
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: spicy p is, especially at this point of the season

616
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: right now, the level he's playing at is the fourth

617
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: or fifth best yeah forward. Yeah, so I think he's

618
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: deserving all the BA We'll see. I just better not

619
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: be Chris Middleton.

620
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 5: I'm not telling you seconds.

621
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: Maybe a bit of a your Ferreswell himself.

622
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: Man, I think stuck at the.

623
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 5: Top right now, right now, you can't stop him spinning.

624
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 2: He is in control, he is he is dominant. I mean,

625
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: he was crazy in this game and he's been awesome

626
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: in this entire road trip here.

627
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: I got the hots form for sure. I hope he

628
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: never goes away.

629
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 2: Calling calling and fred van Vliet, spice and dice, bet

630
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: on yourself, Freddy, and then of course spicy p.

631
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 5: Is vegetable?

632
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: Is it better or worse than Fox and Ox?

633
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 5: You got a rhyme, man, it's all about anyway. Your

634
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 5: nicknames don't rhyme. I don't want to hear it. I

635
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 5: heard that. What are they calling Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving?

636
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 5: Easy money? And cash app? What cash app?

637
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: Now?

638
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: I don't know why, I guess because he's a money

639
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: as well, but in a different form.

640
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: Who's the venmo in Bruce Brown?

641
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 5: Uh?

642
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: Anything to add to all NBA like I'm saying here

643
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: or the Raptors here on hat streak?

644
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 4: Well, the Raptors at this season, they've won five in

645
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: a row right now, They've got the Lakers next, So

646
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: it should be six this season. They've won five in

647
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: a row, they've won six in a row, they won

648
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 4: eight in a row. They could have another streak going here.

649
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: So that just shows that the season has been a

650
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 4: bit of a weird one because there's been times, you know,

651
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: we've watched their record against the Pistons like.

652
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Oh, well, yeah, they just last like the two weeks

653
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: will last week whatever? It was back to back to

654
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: the Magic and Pistols.

655
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: Right, And haven't they swept the Suns though this season?

656
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: Is that right?

657
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: Probably?

658
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they won in Phoenix last week, So that just

659
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: shows it's been injuries and things obviously coming to play there.

660
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: But at their best, you can sort of think, Wow,

661
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: they'd look at Philadelphia and think we'll take them in

662
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 4: the first round. I think everyone's probably looking at Philly

663
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: given what we've seen in the last week, is the

664
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: team that could be vulnerable. Certainly you take them over

665
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: Yannis and the Bucks, and I think over Miami as well.

666
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 4: You would take Philadelphia if you if you could pick,

667
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 4: but yeah, no, I think you've got a case there

668
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 4: with Sak for all NBA. I just hope, for chaos

669
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: reasons alone, that Middleton makes it and just to see

670
00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: your reaction.

671
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: That will be very upset.

672
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raptors rising up the Eastern Conference standings is

673
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: really throwing a wrench into my whole plans of like

674
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: especially the Sixers trying to like throw the number two

675
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: seed to get the third seed to play the Cleveland

676
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: Cavaliers at six. Like that may may not be the

677
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: case here anymore, Trey. It's like it's gonna get even

678
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: more confusing because there were a few teams where we're like, Okay,

679
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: it feels like they're there. It's only Cleveland was sort

680
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: of gonna be the sixth seed. We were like coming

681
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: to that conclusion. But yeah, that's sort of been thrown

682
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: out the window. Now.

683
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: I don't know. Three still might be looking good because

684
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: the Bulls could easily be in number six right now.

685
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: They are starting right at Yeah, you might be aiming

686
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 5: for Chicago right now. Fortunately.

687
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: All right, well we'll we'll get to that and a

688
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: whole lot more after this quick break. Okay, back with

689
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: your boys here in the Classic Factory, the stream team

690
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: is fired up.

691
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 4: Tasks.

692
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: They want some Wolves, Lakers talk. Let's go yes Towns,

693
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: and the Wolves pull away to beat really Lakers one

694
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: even the Associated Press knows the Lakers are reeling, But yeah,

695
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: we had we had the Wolves openly mocking the Lakers.

696
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: Last Yeah, stream teamers are like Patrick Beverly, they just

697
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: want to you want to kick some dirt on the Lakers.

698
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: I get it. People talk about Lakers day after day

699
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: after day after day. The worst player you can play

700
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: against if you're reeling is Patrick. And yeah, he was

701
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: playing off Russell Westbrook. Shoot that thing like twenty feet

702
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: off and Westbrook at that time, not feeling confident, he

703
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: passed it away. What Beverly stole that thing, goes the

704
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: other way and scores, and he goes up. He goes

705
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: up to the crowd and pinches his nose.

706
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 5: That guy is drowned.

707
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: Oh man, his nose. Westbrook took a possession off there. Well, well, Patrick,

708
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 3: Beverly's going to the crowd. Now. That was the second quarter,

709
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: and I will say I thought the Lakers just might

710
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: not come out of the locker. Thought, yes, like, let's

711
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: call it, let's just say we don't have eight players.

712
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: Would that be that far fetch? In today's COVID NBA.

713
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: They came out. They actually got back in the game

714
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, mainly because Carl Anthony Towns got

715
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: into foul trouble. Uh And I'll talk about that in

716
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: a second. Butt h. It didn't matter if Carlton Anthony

717
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: Towns came back on the floor and Westbrook shot an airball,

718
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: and you got you got the rare two guys making

719
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: fun of a guy who shot an airball, because Carl

720
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns did the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I almost

721
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: got hit by that airball.

722
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: He was like looking for it.

723
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then and then we got to stop in play.

724
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: So then Patrick Beverly could also make fun of Russell

725
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: Westbrook doing the whoa, whoa, I got hit by an airball.

726
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: Look that was bad. Yeah, they're opening mocking him. This

727
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: could have been This could have been way worse. I

728
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: think at the beginning of this game was I was

729
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: watching it live and the Wolves were just missing open

730
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 3: shot after open and shot. It really was you make

731
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: two to three passes against this defense and you're gonna

732
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: get a shot at the rim. And it was lucky

733
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: that it wasn't a thirty point loss. And it was

734
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: lucky that Karl Anthony Town's got into foul trouble and

735
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley said after the game, we almost lost. This

736
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: game is a four point game in the fourth quarter

737
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: because you Karl Anthony Towns got into foul trouble. And

738
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony town said, he's right, he's right, He's right

739
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: for calling me out. And that's how much respect we

740
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: got on for each other on this team. And I'm

741
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: sure in the back of the head he was thinking,

742
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: but we're playing the Lakers, dude, we would have been fine.

743
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they're making fun of Russell Westbrook and an

744
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: air ball to his face. And then a postgame I

745
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: guess it was on Twitter. I guess Westbrook was asked

746
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: about it. Westbrook said that guy's and everybody on that

747
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: team has done nothing in the NBA. And then Beverly

748
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: hit the tweets like he's been wont to do this year,

749
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 3: and he said, I thought this, Yeah, this, I'm going

750
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 3: with geeky voice. I guess he said, I've thought this

751
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: sport was a team sport. I've been to two conference

752
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: finals with two different teams. Blah blah blah, anyway.

753
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 5: Weird, weird, two conference finals. I was with Beverly up

754
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 5: until that one.

755
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was at an MVP anyway, so you leave

756
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: it on the floor, you pinch your nose. He stuck.

757
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Everybody stuck. He can't trash hesh.

758
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 5: The crazy one to me was when he was like

759
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 5: flexing and screaming and then they cut back and like

760
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: Lebron was this that it went.

761
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 2: Up and then he had gave him the playful pack.

762
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 5: Dude. Yeah, great comment from rap Stallion here in uh

763
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 5: in the stream team the Wolves went from the joke

764
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 5: of the league to the jesters of the league and

765
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 5: less than a season. Like they're playing with incredible swager

766
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 5: right now. And I hate to say it, a lot

767
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 5: of it comes from Beverly bringing the intensity and inspiring

768
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 5: trash talk amongst his teammates. Uh. Like, to me, Beverly

769
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: is a great floor raizer just because he brings the intensity.

770
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 5: He makes your team care about defense. He makes your

771
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 5: team compete every single night. You might want to upgrade

772
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 5: if you're trying to win a championship, but if you're

773
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 5: the Wolves and you've made the playoffs in the past

774
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 5: fifteen years, but it doesn't really feel like you did.

775
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 5: This feels totally different than the Jimmy Butler era because

776
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 5: it feels a little more home grown here and a

777
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 5: little more built rather than just appeared out of nowhere.

778
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 5: So he's been helping. He's been helping. And yeah, I

779
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 5: mean town Towns was looking for the air ball for

780
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 5: like a minute straight. Now, what are you supposed to

781
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 5: do when you're Westbrook? That was a terrible miss. Yeah,

782
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 5: that was a bad miss.

783
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

784
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: Would you rather be called west Briock on social media

785
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: or have other NBA players actively mocking you air bawling?

786
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Westbrook, I think yeah.

787
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 5: I mean you'd rather hook the backboard?

788
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah. Look, this was a disaster, but

789
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 4: it did nearly blow up in their face. If they

790
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 4: had lost this game, after all that trowling and trash talk,

791
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: they would have been the joke this morning, the Wolves.

792
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: But they weren't.

793
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: They got a convincing win. But it's gonna be time

794
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 4: to put the potty celebration away because their next seven

795
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 4: games have got the Bucks, the Mavericks twice, the Suns

796
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: of Celtics, the Raptors, and then the Nuggets, who they're

797
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 4: competing for for that sixth spot. So that's a brutal

798
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 4: schedule for a team that hasn't been there before. In

799
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: this version, I know they did make them a couple

800
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 4: of years ago, the playoffs, but they haven't so celebrating

801
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 4: doing all that stuff is great. No, I'm about to

802
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 4: cough again. Ah man, I can't shake this thing anyway.

803
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: It was awesome.

804
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 4: This is how weird it got last night for me

805
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 4: because the Nets and the Mavericks game was on at

806
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 4: seven thirty. This tipped off at eight, and I was

807
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 4: clearly interested more in the in the Mavericks and the Nets,

808
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 4: but seeing the tweets coming through about what was going on,

809
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: I was like, it's like, you want to watch that,

810
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: you know, car crash or whatever you like. I want

811
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 4: to see what's going on, just to see how crazy

812
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 4: it's getting. And it was wild. And then also c

813
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 4: J Zero tweeted a pick of like Karl Anthony Town's

814
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: at one point bullying Lebron James. That is just something

815
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: that has never happened before. Ye, it certainly hasn't happened

816
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 4: in recent history and been a big problem for hands.

817
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: He hasn't been a bully, you know. And now he's

818
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: finally like this guy, you know, he's too small for me.

819
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 4: I can go inside and use my size and strength.

820
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 4: And I thought that was really, really good. So it's

821
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 4: been great for the Wolves this season. They can get

822
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 4: out of the first round, it's gonna be very, very

823
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 4: tough for them, But I really want to see how

824
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 4: they respond now to this next seven games because that

825
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: is an enormously tough schedule, most of those games on

826
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: the road, by the way.

827
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is crazy about this is we could have

828
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: the Wolves playing the Lakers in a playing game, in

829
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: a one game situation to get into the actual playoffs.

830
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: So it's true.

831
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing that just like teams, even the Wolves,

832
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 2: who do not have a long history of winning championships

833
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 2: or even getting to the playoffs, were crying out loud,

834
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 2: are openly marking and are just not afraid of the

835
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: Lakers at all. And now does it change if Anthony

836
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: Davis is playing? I would assume so, But just no

837
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: one can They're just no one is looking at Lebron,

838
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: a Lebron led team and like there's no fear. They're

839
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 2: like they're not they can't stop us.

840
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 5: Four times.

841
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I.

842
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 5: Think Anthony Davis is going to play again this season.

843
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 4: I don't why Yeah, why would he come back?

844
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 5: Get healthy for next year? Yeah, nothing's happening for the

845
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 5: Lakers this year. They don't want to be in the

846
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 5: play tournament, like they're trying to lose all of these

847
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 5: games so they don't have to play anymore. One, two,

848
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 5: three can coon, but the teams below them are so

849
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 5: bad that they can't get out of it. So I

850
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 5: don't know. I would personally rest Davis. The only chance

851
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 5: they ever have of being a title contender again is

852
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 5: having healthy Lebron healthy Davis. Your best chances of that

853
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 5: are not this season, so might as well run it

854
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 5: back next year.

855
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: So Lebron, if my math is correct, he's fifty five

856
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 2: points behind Karl Malone. And you've been saying this for

857
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: a while.

858
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: Check the schedule.

859
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: As soon as he passes Carl, Lebron's gonna at least

860
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: get some all right.

861
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 5: Here you go in Toronto on Friday, played well in

862
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 5: Toronto in the past. Yeah, in Washington Saturday, that's a

863
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 5: back to back. He will rest that game. Thirty against

864
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 5: the Raptors, twenty five against the Cavaliers on Monday night.

865
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 5: He's passing Carl in Cleveland.

866
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: In Cleveland, that's right, he's calling a shot.

867
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: Here, Carl in Cleveland.

868
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 5: Yes, probably, he's doing the math. He knows, he knows

869
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: exactly how many points every night he goes out there.

870
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: He plays well against the Wiz though too. Maybe he'll

871
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 3: show up against.

872
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: What he should do is take the game off against

873
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: the Raptors.

874
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 5: Play Wizards.

875
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they could win that game.

876
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, crazy?

877
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: Had he had fifty six in me against the Wizards? Yes,

878
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 4: maybe he just does it in one game?

879
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 5: Oh good point. Yeah.

880
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: Do you have anything to add to the to the

881
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 2: Wolves themselves here and being a believer in this team

882
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: of making some noise in the postseason because they're they're

883
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: villain themselves right now. For sure, one of the hottest

884
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 2: teams in the league, I believe with the last ten

885
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: at least.

886
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think a big part of why they've made

887
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: this turnaround to is Anthony Edwards fifty five points. Lebron

888
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 3: needs to catch Carl. I think Anthony Edwards said the

889
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: word swag fifty times. I'm not kidding in this postgame

890
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: press conference Dane Moore doing the reporting here, he said

891
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: it approximately fifty times, because yeah, he said, this isn't

892
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves that didn't have swag since two thousand and four.

893
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: I got a lot of swag and he said swag

894
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 3: a lot. And I think the way they finished last year,

895
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: they finished twelve and thirteen in their last twenty five games.

896
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 3: You get Patrick Beverly in there to help out. Yeah,

897
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,280
Speaker 3: just have a an unbridled and unfounded amount of confidence.

898
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 3: And Karl Anthony Towns has been picked up since you know,

899
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: he's had a terrible couple of years. But yeah, he's

900
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: playing like an All NBA player. So yes, it's it's

901
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 3: come together. Yeah, bad recipe for the Lakers to see

902
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley on the other end of the floor like

903
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: he was gonna, you know, definitely kicked dirt on their

904
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 3: grave no matter what happened in that game, and yeah,

905
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: they almost lost it.

906
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: I want to in the plane.

907
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: I want to say, yeah, I want Anthony Davis bat like,

908
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 3: I definitely want Anthony Davis.

909
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: You want to see these tea.

910
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 4: To tell it again in Minnesota again for something on

911
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 4: the line. That would be awesome.

912
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: Final question with all of this, I've heard other I

913
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: believe it was another podcast talking about maybe even Zilla

914
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 2: had a newsletter, but the idea of like the Wolves

915
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: are forty one and thirty and they're still not even

916
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, And then you've got all these teams

917
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: that are in the play in situation with them Clippers,

918
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 2: a five hundred team, the Lakers twenty nine and forty somehow,

919
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: the Pelicans worse than that at twenty eight and forty one,

920
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 2: but they're all in the play in tournament. Do you

921
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 2: think there should be a rule added to the play

922
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: in where you have to be so many games behind

923
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: x amount of games close enough to the seventh or

924
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: eighth seed, call it three, four, five games, whatever it is,

925
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: to then force the play you know, like, I guess

926
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: what I'm getting at, is it even is it really

927
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: fair to be how many games, like eleven games clear

928
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: of these other teams that are going to be in

929
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: this play in tournament?

930
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's a good point. Yeah, that that that

931
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 4: might be because we.

932
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 2: Sort of did that with the Bubble, right, that's exactly yeah, yeah, yeah,

933
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: because it was the Blazes, I think if I remember correct,

934
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 2: the Wizards were like try, you know, trying to force

935
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: something all that.

936
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it only gets triggered if you within three games

937
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 4: or whatever something like that. That's not a bad idea.

938
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we love the play in tournament. We love

939
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: the idea of like because.

940
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: It's active for most of the season until it gets

941
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 4: to the point where it's like, okay, you didn't even

942
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 4: qualify for the plane.

943
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. What do you guys think?

944
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm in on that because right now we would

945
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 5: be looking at one to three teams under five hundred

946
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 5: in the play in Tournament, and the play in Tournament

947
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 5: the nine ten games last year they weren't actually good,

948
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 5: so right, I think this season would be even more exciting.

949
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 5: Right now if we were talking about the top eight seeds.

950
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 5: You got the Hornets and the Hawks trying to take

951
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: down Brooklyn, which is like, that's an impossible sort of

952
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 5: chase that they would be on right now, whereas the

953
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,439
Speaker 5: Clippers at five hundred would be locked into the eighth seed.

954
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 5: And if you're the Timberwolves, you wouldn't be worried about

955
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 5: having your best season in you know, basically two decades

956
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 5: and in two games, right because the Lakers decided to

957
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 5: bring Anthony Davis back and he looks healthy and he

958
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 5: catches fire for a couple of games, it could certainly happen.

959
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, maybe there's a little tinkering to do in

960
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 5: the future.

961
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, last year, I brought up the idea of getting

962
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: the just having the top seven make it. The top

963
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 3: seven are the playoffs because it's suited to the narrative.

964
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 3: Then that you know, the seventh place team far and

965
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: a way better than the eighth place team. Let eight, nine,

966
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 3: ten have a little tournament instead. But it's it would

967
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: have to be changed every single year. You know, sometimes

968
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 3: the seventh seed would be way back of the sixth seeds,

969
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 3: so why should they make the actual playoffs? But if

970
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 3: you have some sort of ye marker on it, yeah,

971
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 3: five games or whatever if if you're far back, Yeah, yeah,

972
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 3: it could be a little numerical activation for sure. I mean,

973
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: I you know, the whole single elimination tournament, it's real.

974
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 3: March madas, it's real baseball. Have a couple of days

975
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 3: of advertisements in games. It's you know, it kind of sucks,

976
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 3: but it sucks for teams like the Timberwolves. Really, yeah,

977
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 3: that's what it sucks for.

978
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: Let's do a quick MVP check in. Okay, so you

979
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: know our three favorites to win MVP this year all

980
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: played last night. They all had great games. Yeah, dwell

981
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: and beat on his birthday thirty five and seventeen as

982
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers beat the Calves one eighteen, one fourteen.

983
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 2: Yo Kich not bad in very few minutes twenty nine

984
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: to thirteen and eight as the Nuggets cruised to a

985
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: victory over the Wizards, and then Yannis scored thirty six

986
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: points as the Bucks held off the Kings one thirty five,

987
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: one twenty six.

988
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: This is awesome. What's going on right now?

989
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: Like this race, this MVP race. I checked Basketball Reference

990
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 2: the MVP tracker this morning just see what was going on.

991
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: Haven't brought it up all that often over the last

992
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: couple weeks on the show. Yo Kisch is a forty

993
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: if you round up forty two percent chance to repeat

994
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: as MVP. Yanni's second at around twenty eight percent, and

995
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: then em Beat somewhat of a distant third at eleven

996
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: percent here, And I'm not sure that's how it's actually

997
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: gonna go when you get to the real voters, but

998
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: that's what they're saying. They're they're they're number crunching and

999
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 2: based on pass vote results and record and all that,

1000
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,959
Speaker 2: they have it, y'll Kitch Jannison and Beat.

1001
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 4: I think I probably haven't the same right now as well, really.

1002
00:44:58,760 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1003
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: I've had Joel and Beid very high for most of

1004
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 4: the season, and he probably was the MVP last night

1005
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 4: considering he only he was the only one who played

1006
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 4: real opposition out there. But I think that's how it is.

1007
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 4: I think Yannis is just sort of cruising along, but

1008
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 4: because he's won it, it's like that that he's counting

1009
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 4: against him. But it shouldn't. So Philadelphia got away with

1010
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 4: it last night there luckily. But and it was like

1011
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: Embat had a monster, You're almost beef there last night.

1012
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 4: We haven't had a beef for a while.

1013
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 5: Actually, which one Rudy go beef?

1014
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 4: Ah, Yeah, of course I forget that.

1015
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 2: That's all right, Buddy should be in the MVP.

1016
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,959
Speaker 4: All NBA Forward front coll But I mean.

1017
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 2: I think where it's just what a race that this

1018
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: every night, these guys are putting up these type of numbers,

1019
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 2: all three of them, like they don't have a bad name.

1020
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: It almost feels like at this point, definitely doesn't feel

1021
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 2: like it.

1022
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 5: And like Li said, the camp wasn't incredible last night,

1023
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 5: but you still got to go out there and perform

1024
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 5: because you know the other two are going to perform.

1025
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 5: So I don't know, I think I'm gonna start advocating

1026
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 5: for Yannis a lot here down the stretch. I would

1027
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 5: like to see him, now that brook Lopez is back,

1028
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 5: go on a little bit of run here, not having

1029
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 5: to play the center position maybe quite as much. And

1030
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 5: you know, he's still got a chance to lead the

1031
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 5: league in scoring as well. The Bucks are ahead of

1032
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 5: the Sixers right now, which means they are also ahead

1033
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 5: of the Nuggets right now. Jannis isn't getting enough love.

1034
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 5: So big Yiannis guy over here.

1035
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, embiid Giannis and Lebron are battling for the h

1036
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 2: that's going down to the scoring.

1037
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, twenty nine point nine right now for Embid,

1038
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 5: twenty nine point eight for Yiannis, in twenty nine point

1039
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 5: five for Lebron, who's got fifty five coming up this weekend.

1040
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1041
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: Well, that's a fascinating wrinkle to all of this. Lebron

1042
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: surpasses Karl Malone, so he gets that, and that's a

1043
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 2: check that he wants to do, we all believe. But

1044
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: then if he's played enough games and he's got that

1045
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: percentage high enough, will he shut it down hold.

1046
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: On to the spot.

1047
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but you might get a David Rubinson situation

1048
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 4: from one of the other exactly why they like, Yeah,

1049
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 4: see right.

1050
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 3: He's got to do it against the Wizards because he

1051
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: can do it against Karl Kuzma. Wasn't he called Kuzma

1052
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 3: once upon a time, Barkley called him that. So when

1053
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: he goes up against him, he's just got to pretend

1054
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 3: you just got to look at Kuzma's face. Oh, that's

1055
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: actual Carl Malone right there. I'm destroy him, Carl Kuzma, Malone, go.

1056
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 2: Get him, especially after just getting embarrassed by Karl Anthony

1057
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: right right, Anthony, Carl Anthony, I know, never just call

1058
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: him Carl Anthony.

1059
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 3: No, he don't.

1060
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 2: Jonovan Mitchell scores twenty five of his thirty seven points

1061
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: in the third quarter as the Jazz beat the Chicago Bulls.

1062
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 5: Trey ba b Bulls are bad right now. A nice

1063
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 5: win for the Jazz, though Donovan Mitchell had a tough

1064
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 5: game in the loss against Milwaukee. He went three of

1065
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 5: seventeen from three. We're thinking, is this guy at Ferris

1066
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 5: w Weeel. I don't know if he was. It was

1067
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 5: operational last night, twenty five and the third seven of

1068
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 5: nine from three in the corner. He once he was

1069
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 5: into heat check mode. He was just chucking him up.

1070
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 5: They went in until the very last couple of seconds

1071
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 5: there in the quarter. I started thinking he might be

1072
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 5: able to go for fifty in this half. The way

1073
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 5: he was scoring in the third quarter, Jazz didn't need

1074
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 5: much from him in the fourth cause Nikhil Alexander Walker

1075
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 5: was the one who got hot in the fourth quarter.

1076
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 5: The Bulls, to their credit, actually competed hard in this one.

1077
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 5: The Jazz were just too much. They finished with nineteen

1078
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 5: of thirty nine shooting from the three point line. Ten

1079
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 5: offensive rebounds turned into sixteen second chance points. You got

1080
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 5: your big beef from Rudy Gobert twenty boards, his seventh

1081
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 5: time this season beefing Bulls. Meanwhile, haven't beaten the Jazz

1082
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 5: in Utah since twenty sixteen. I wasn't expecting it to

1083
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 5: happen last night cuz they're not looking very good right now.

1084
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 5: Feels like they've run out of steam a little bit.

1085
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 5: They've lost seven of nine. But at least they played

1086
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 5: hard last night, which is why I was so upset

1087
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 5: last week with like a loss to the Kings, like

1088
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 5: you're probably gonna lose to the Jazz in Utah. It

1089
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 5: just keeps happening, So you got to beat the teams

1090
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 5: that you can actually beat. Trey uncought fire in the

1091
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 5: fourth quarter against the Bulls. He beat him on a

1092
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 5: forty point night. That happens. But a poor effort against

1093
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 5: Sacramento that was a bummer. So yeah, the Bulls have

1094
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 5: the hardest remaining schedule left in the league right now.

1095
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 5: All of their remaining opponents are at least trying for

1096
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 5: the play. And I'm being charitable here. They play the

1097
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 5: Wizards in the Knicks, who are playing all right right now.

1098
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 5: The Knicks are ball and they're all still at least

1099
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 5: playing hard right now. Drop to fifth in the East

1100
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 5: last night. We mentioned earlier, just two games up on

1101
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 5: the Calves and Raptors. Raps play the Caves and the Bulls.

1102
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 5: Next week Balls play the Raps and the Caves as well.

1103
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,280
Speaker 5: So a lot of stuff is going to be happening

1104
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 5: seeding wise, and the Bulls just need to find a

1105
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 5: way to steal a win from one of these teams

1106
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 5: that is clearly better than them.

1107
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been a weird Bull season.

1108
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 4: Many Yeah, if you said forty one and twenty eight

1109
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 4: at this part of the season at the start of

1110
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 4: the scene, you go, oh, yeah, we'll take that totally, totally.

1111
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: But now it's almost disappointing at this point because they've

1112
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: done such a slide and they can't beat any of

1113
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: the good team.

1114
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think they're in Phoenix next and with

1115
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 4: the Celtics win there again last night, the Celtics were

1116
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 4: out West as well, so the Celtics could actually put

1117
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 4: some real distance here in that full spot in the

1118
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 4: East and the Bulls don't want to face him.

1119
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 2: Have expectations then change for this Bulls team, Like I mean,

1120
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: I remember we were like, you know, what's a good

1121
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: bull season or what should they expect or what's the goal?

1122
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: And you know we're talking about playoff wins and stuff

1123
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: like that, which is obviously not going to be easy.

1124
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: Now as you slide down the standings, you don't have

1125
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: home cood advantage, Like has it changed? Like what is

1126
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 2: it now? I guess for a good season in your.

1127
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 5: Mind, this is already a good season. This is already

1128
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 5: a successful season for the Bulls. They're bad right now,

1129
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 5: but they're still back baby, because they were the worst

1130
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 5: team in the league for the past four years, so

1131
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 5: they're going to finish five hundred. The goal now. Expectations

1132
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 5: now are what they were for me in the preseason, right,

1133
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 5: finish in the top six. But now it feels like, oh,

1134
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 5: hold on going to be a nail bier to finish

1135
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 5: in the top six here. So I don't know. Earlier

1136
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 5: in the year I thought they would at least be

1137
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 5: able to win a playoff series. Maybe things break completely

1138
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 5: perfectly for them and they somehow go on to Hawks

1139
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 5: like run and end up in the conference finals. That

1140
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 5: does not seem likely to me. The only silver lining

1141
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 5: last night, Patrick Williams is cleared for full contact, so

1142
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 5: the Balls are getting a second year player who's played

1143
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 5: all the five games this season back to completely fix

1144
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 5: the defense. And Alex Cruz, who got hurt last night

1145
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 5: but not that bad. Yeah, So so.

1146
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 2: All right, we had a couple of the games. I'll

1147
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 2: chuck a match you here. Devin Booker had thirty six

1148
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 2: points as the NBA leading Signs beat the Rockets one

1149
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 2: twenty nine twelve. RJ. Barrett, he's on fire right now.

1150
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 2: He scored thirty one. Next beat the Blazers by thirty,

1151
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 2: and then the Spurs fended off the Thunder one twenty

1152
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 2: two to one. Twenty to end a little bit of

1153
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: a two game slide, and they're trying to get.

1154
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 3: It into the play.

1155
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I didn't realize that. I wasn't planning on it,

1156
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 4: but I unintentionally ended up watching Survivor last night. Because

1157
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 4: the Sixers survived against the Cavs, they sure did. The

1158
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 4: Raptors survived against the Clippers, the Hornets survived against the Hawks.

1159
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 4: They survived, They hung in there and survived. And the

1160
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 4: Thunder absolutely survived.

1161
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 6: No, Spurs absolutely survived against the Thunder. You know, when

1162
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 6: we have a big thirteen game schedule and you've got

1163
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 6: the wrap up column in the end, you're like, Okay,

1164
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 6: the Knicks, yeah they won, you know, I mean, the

1165
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 6: Blazers aren't trying to, but it's the Knick.

1166
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 4: So it's like, yeah, Sun's beating the Rutgers. Like, okay,

1167
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 4: there's not much to take out of that one. The

1168
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 4: Spurs led big late in this one and nearly blew it.

1169
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: In fact, Pokoschewski had a lay up put them up yep,

1170
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 4: and it was like, oh, then Loney Walker comes down,

1171
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 4: hits a three and hung on there. But just before

1172
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 4: the three.

1173
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 2: They streamed him. By the way, calling him Loney Walker,

1174
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: Laney Walker Liquid IV.

1175
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, go on. Just before that, Shay Gilges Alexander

1176
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 4: took the worst two for one I have ever seen

1177
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 4: in my entire life. It was that the two for

1178
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 4: one is sold as like, yeah, get a two for one.

1179
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 5: It's not.

1180
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 4: It shouldn't be that. It should be like, if there's

1181
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 4: a good shot and you can get it and leave

1182
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 4: enough time on the shot clock to get a.

1183
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 5: Second one go.

1184
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: He came down and just heaved it and it was

1185
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 4: so off he was chasing it before it even hit

1186
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 4: the backboard there, so.

1187
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: That you're saying you can go overboard on the desire

1188
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: from the two.

1189
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 4: For one, and Sean Elliott on his call just sort

1190
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 4: of like whoa, Like what is that? And he was

1191
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 4: right because it was just the worst sort of It

1192
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 4: was a turnover. It was It was a deliberate turnover

1193
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 4: in the end and it ended up costing That made

1194
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 4: me look. Lonney still had to hit the shot, and

1195
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 4: he did, but yeah, this was a rough one. But

1196
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 4: the Spurs weren't all that great with their execution in

1197
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 4: the last couple of minutes either. Perdl had a nice floater,

1198
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 4: but Dejonte Murray turned it over and so the Thunder

1199
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 4: had a chance, and even Gildas Alexander at the end

1200
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 4: had a deep, long corner three that was not nowhere

1201
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 4: near it. But sometimes those miracle shots go in. But yeah, well,

1202
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: other than that, this game, there was no real need

1203
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 4: to tune into it. But the Spurs, if they had

1204
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 4: blown this, because I believe they are trying to get

1205
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 4: into the plane, this would have been a disastrous loss

1206
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: for them. So they had a couple of guys creechy

1207
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 4: out there and sah, I'm not sure if you've heard

1208
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 4: of those guys hitting threes for the Thunder. So there

1209
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 4: you go. A bit of a crossover twined.

1210
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 2: Any notes on any of those three games, Sun's Nicks,

1211
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 2: Spurs Dubb dub dub.

1212
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 3: Well, you slept in the you're watching the Sixers calves

1213
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 3: and that was a bit of a survivor. The Sixers

1214
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: can't be very excited about James Harden just playing playmaker

1215
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 3: out there. It's it is flashbacks to postseasons of the

1216
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 3: past where he says, all right, you know, I'll distribute

1217
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 3: and see what happens, and they won the game. Tyres Maxey,

1218
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 3: you know, being the backcourt partner that can bail him out.

1219
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 3: He's hardened, has needed that in the past, old you

1220
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 3: know Westy or Chris Paul or whoever in the past

1221
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 3: to help him out. And Tyres Maxey was huge, big

1222
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 3: three late, stole a free throw rebound to seal this game.

1223
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: He was the guy. But I wouldn't like seeing James

1224
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 3: Harden of the past to go along with Embiid and Harrison.

1225
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: Maxwy had a good game and they barely squeaked it

1226
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 3: out against the Calves team that doesn't have Jared Allen.

1227
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 3: Ed ain't a championship went to me. Also, you know

1228
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 3: the don Mitchell going back to him thirty seven against

1229
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 3: the Bulls. That's flashbacks of Donovan Mitchell in the past

1230
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 3: playoff Donovan Mitchell. Those the last two years, Donald Mitchell

1231
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 3: has been ridiculous in the postseason going you know, Bubble

1232
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: Mitchell against Jamal Murray. That was seven games of amazing basketball,

1233
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 3: those thirty six points a night. But last year it

1234
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: was even more impressive, I think because if you remember

1235
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 3: the beginning of the playoffs, there was that hole back

1236
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 3: and forth with the Jazz training staff. He comes up,

1237
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 3: misses a game, but he still averages thirty two games

1238
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: or thirty two points in two series. So doc Mian

1239
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: Mitchell shows up when it comes to postseason time, and

1240
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 3: we're always a little you know, a little taken aback.

1241
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 3: Oh can this guy do it well? Last two seasons

1242
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 3: he has, and if he can do what he did

1243
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 3: last night, the Jazz obviously have a shot. So looking

1244
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 3: forward to two a month from now with the Utah

1245
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 3: Jazz because right now this last month doesn't really matter.

1246
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that might be my favorite like race

1247
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 2: going on in the standings. The Jazz at fourth, the

1248
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 2: MAVs there right behind them at fifth, the Nuggets sixth,

1249
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 2: and then the Wolf seventh, all four of those teams

1250
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: winning last week last night. That's like, it's like a

1251
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 2: couple of games that separate home court advantage in the

1252
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: first round to being in the play in. Yeah, I mean,

1253
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 2: and those are and those are all really obviously the

1254
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 2: incredible teams that you could convince yourself, oh it breaks

1255
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: their way an injury to another guy at the top

1256
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: of the bracket, those seated teams you're in a conference

1257
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 2: finals or something like that. Any of those teams, Jazz, MAVs,

1258
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 2: you know, Nuggets, maybe the Wolves a little les so

1259
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 2: but they're playing hot right now. So that is one

1260
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 2: hell of a race to watch. Utah, Dallas, Denver, Minnesota

1261
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 2: four through seven there.

1262
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 3: Especially with some vulnerabilities at the top. Phoenix doesn't have

1263
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 3: Chris Paul, even though there's a leader of the clubhouse.

1264
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 3: The Grizzlies are still young. The Warriors have not been great. Yeah,

1265
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 3: there's there's a track. I mean, I think we said

1266
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 3: this last year as well for the Utah Jazz. There's

1267
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 3: a track for them to get there, and it didn't happen.

1268
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, all those teams, it's possible.

1269
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's take our final break when we come back.

1270
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 2: We got tweeted the night. Pick them results in a

1271
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: whole lot more. Don't go anywhere, all right. This little

1272
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 2: heads up is for everybody in the stream team. I

1273
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: know Trey just dropped it there. But you only have

1274
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 2: forty minutes or so to join the Nodunk's Madness Bracket Challenge,

1275
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: where you can fill out your NC double a March

1276
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: Madness bracket and battle us. We collectively filled out ours.

1277
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 2: That video is available to watch on YouTube. Had a

1278
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: lot of laughs with that, but yeah, you got to

1279
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 2: the top of the hour to get in what's the

Speaker 5: smashed me drinks and it instantly spins the beer out.

1305
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,320

Speaker 5: four of seven on left handed free throws.

1309
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 3: Yes, excuse me, yeah, yes.

1310
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 5: Mason Plumby was shooting lefty free throws. Now.

1311
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: I kept forgetting to bring this up on the show.

1312
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 2: How my notes, I keep forgetting this has been happening

1313
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 2: over like last.

1314
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 3: Couple of games.

1315
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had an air ball last night, but then

1316
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 5: he hit two straight, so four for seven not too bad,

1317
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 5: Which brings us to our final tweet of the night,

1318
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 5: which actually comes from March twelfth. It's Eric Collins calling

1319
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 5: a Mason Plumley left handed free throw. You gotta see it, Mace, Oh,

1320
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 5: lefty shot that left handed an he made it.

1321
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 3: He's shooting thirty six percent with the right hand, and

1322
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 3: he said, let's do it from the south paw side.

1323
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 5: I thought two Beauties was gonna do the best call

1324
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 5: for a free throw this season. But like Eric Collins

1325
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 5: is getting excited for a guy shooting a lefty free throw,

1326
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 5: shout out to Mason Plumbley. It's ben since Tristan Thompson,

1327
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 5: I guess we've seen somebody switch hands. Can he beat him?

1328
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 5: Mentioned last night. I don't think Tristan Thompson did it

1329
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 5: during the season though, like Mason Plumbley was shooting righty

1330
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 5: this year.

1331
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty weird.

1332
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't remember with the whole Tristan like how

1333
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: it went, but yeah, this is wild. Yeah, I mean,

1334
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 2: you love free throw and.

1335
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 4: I forgot to bring it up to because he had

1336
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 4: two in a row there last night, So why not

1337
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 4: try That's what I like. If you're shooting thirty six percent, yeah,

1338
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 4: you may as well try out another way. And uh

1339
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:34,439
Speaker 4: so it.

1340
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 5: Looks smooth, oh yeah from the left.

1341
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: Ye, because well well but when he shoots much better.

1342
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 4: Though, he shoots that what do you call it? The

1343
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 4: line drive? He shoots it with his right, but he's left.

1344
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 4: He got way morettle.

1345
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: More n Yeah, I mean you're right, if you're shooting

1346
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 2: thirty six percent, you try anything else. Granny style, Yeah,

1347
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 2: change it up backwards from a corner, kick it in.

1348
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, It definitely looks like he's picking up a

1349
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 3: basketball for the first time with his left hand and

1350
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 3: shooting it. But he's up to thirty seven percent knocked out.

1351
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 3: It's improving.

1352
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 2: And what'd you say, four to seven overall with left hand.

1353
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,560

01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: Pick the results last night Hawk's Hornets. It was that game.

1358
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 2: Charlotte was favored by one and a half. This brought

1359
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 2: to you by Bett MGM, and they got it done

1360
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,680

01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: March ties you with Trey who had the Hawks. I'm

1364
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 2: six and six. I had the Hawks, and Task had

1365
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 2: the Hawks as well, So you gained a game on

1369
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 3: Game in the Association. Detroit continuing their Florida Ventures. They

1370
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 3: played in Miami. Now they're going to Orlando, where the

1371
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Magic are favored by three and a half. Florida trip

1372
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 3: is a tough one. That's why I'm comfortable taking the

1373
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 3: Pistons as are elite and skeets. Tray's got the Magic,

1374
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 3: I guess because we're not allowed to have a four

1375
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 3: way pick for one team for some odd reason. So

1376
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 3: you got the Magic? You comfortable with that?

1377
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 7: Oh?

1378
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1379
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 5: Are a top ten defense in January?

1380
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 3: First?

1381
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Hold on, hey, hold on, you guys have this all backwards. Yeah,
