Speaker 1: Guess who's back. It's me and he didn't know who

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: that was. It's Miles. But the Grizzlies and Pelicans are

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: also back, and they're trending in the right direction again

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: out West. And meanwhile, Celtics appear to have gotten back

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: to playing at their elite level. And we'll get into

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,600

00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I did a podcast once where I'd like jumped into

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: the intro by accident like that, and I was just like,

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: don't do it. It's not your turn yet, don't wait

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: wait wait, So Mike, man, you're a big Boston fan.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I know what I heard from the Boston area, right, Yeah,

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: grew up in Massachusetts. It's kind of just like what

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: you do around here. Are you watched Boston sports and

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: trying not to get into fistfights outside of bars and stuff? No?

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I was never a fighter. Um oh, but are you

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: really from Massachusetts? I mean, can you really claim that

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: you're from that area if you weren't a fighter? Well,

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm you can. There are guys that stand back with

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: their arms crossed and kind of go, yeah, get them,

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, got you right? So, yeah, I

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: grew up you know, we're talking before big Celtics run

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Antoine Walker Paul Pierce in the nineties. Yeah. If you

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: if you grew up in you're a Celtics fan, you

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: never tried the Antoine Walker shimmy, then what were you

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: even doing? Right? You know, even as a degenerate Lakers fan,

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I did the shm me a couple of times. I'm

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to try it at a moment for sure.

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, it was very good. It was very good.

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: And again, like, you know, how are you feeling just

39
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: overall this season of basketball, not not necessarily about the Celtics,

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: but how have you you know, been engaging a lot.

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Are you are are you still very Celtics focused or

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: what's how you kind of taking it in? Yeah? I

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: feel good. I mean there's always a point in this

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: season where my brain kind of lolls and kind of

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: it's just like is it the playoffs yet? Like, because

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know kind of what you have

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: in these teams and then like, let's just get to it.

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: That's kind of what's happening now. Mark the whole month

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: of March. I'm kind of like, because you know, teams

50
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: have ups and downs, the Celtics but we can talk

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: about whatever you want. But you know, they started out

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: real hot and then they were like wait are they

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: that good? And it's like they're good, Like let's just

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and see the Bucks and the

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Celtics and the East. I love that I heard the

56
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Boston come out when you said it hot. Yep, like

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, I have myself trained and

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: then every now and then I'll bet rips up like

59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: I'll just you know, yeah, hey, what park do you

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: like to go to? Which park would you say you

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: like to go to? When I went to college many

62
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: many years ago, freshman year. They were like, uh that

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you had to go around and say, like what you

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: did over the summer or something. And I worked at

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: a park. I was like a park instructor. And I

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: didn't even realize at the time. My accent was so deep.

67
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: I was going I was going to pack instruct and

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: they were like, what do you talk like? Nobody could

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: understand me? Right, So that's a real that's a real moment.

70
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: When you look back, you go, jeez, what was I doing? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: And then also you're saying you lived in New York

72
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: during the Lynn Sanity years. Did you catch that way

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: where you just watched respectfully as a Celtics respectfully watched.

74
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: I was entertained. I was there for a while. I

75
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: was in New York for fourteen years, so I mean,

76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, there weren't that many ups, no offense to

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, but Lynn Sanity was crazy because at the

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: time there was some kind of fight going on with

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: like the one of the cable companies, so a lot

80
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: of people weren't getting the Knicks games on their TV.

81
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: So it like brought even more people out. You gotta

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: go to the bar, you gotta check it out, and

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: it seemed like everybody was just watching this like, can

84
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: you believe this again? Right? Two or three weeks stretch

85
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: was unreal? Yeah? And where you living now? I'm back

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts' outside of Boston. Yeah. Yeah, so I had

87
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: a kid. I fully embraced being washed up, you know,

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: living that suburb life from take it back to where

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: it all started, just faking in my backyard with a ball,

90
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you know. Oh and again for I do know some

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: people don't realize the reason I wasn't on this show

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: is I was on parental leave myself. I just had

93
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: my first child. Shout out to my son, who is

94
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: almost eight weeks old. So this is a very new

95
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: time for me, one in which, like everything I saw

96
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: of the NBA felt like a fever dream. But I'm

97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: glad I'm back with everybody to catch up and Jabbari,

98
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, to help me realize, make you know, separate

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: what I thought was a dream and what is actually

100
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: reality because it all blends together. But yeah, let's kick

101
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: it off first, looking at none other than the Boston Celtics.

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean it looks, you know, look like you're locked

103
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: in there. The two seed. Um you know, I it,

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: you had it there. Like you said, there's been some

105
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: ups and downs. You're up, you're down, you're up, you're down.

106
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: But as of this recording seven and ten doing pretty well. Um,

107
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: but for you, what's the biggest difference that you're seeing?

108
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, like we casually talk about the Celtics and look,

109
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: as Laker fans, we casually are just basically like, yeah,

110
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: we'll see if they're that good forever and then we're crying.

111
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: You're like, but for you as a fan, like, how

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, what's what's the biggest difference for you guys

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: this year with the fantastic comedian Joe Missoula, who I

114
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: would love to touch on after this sing, well, I

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: think they're shooting as much better. I mean, obviously when

116
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: they I'm not a stats guy, so if you're actually,

117
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: if you're like, actually it's down, I'm gonna be like,

118
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: oh my bad. But the style of place seems like

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: they're just chucking them up a bit more. And especially

120
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: in the beginning to the mid season, they were just

121
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: going on runs where they were hitting threes. I went

122
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: to a game where they won by forty. It was incredible.

123
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: So I think that's what plagued them last year. I mean,

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: obviously they were in into Golden State in the finals,

125
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: but like they needed that, you know, extra shooter, whether

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: that's broggedon or not. I mean, I think he really helps.

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think that's the difference. They have a little

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: more shooting help and hopefully they don't kind of get

129
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: stuck in the playoffs. I feel like the last couple

130
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: of years they've had that thing where it's it's three

131
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: four minutes left and you know who's going to take

132
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: the shot. Obviously Tatum's the guy, and I think he's continued.

133
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: He's gotten better again every year he gets better. But

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: I just think having like another option and Derek White,

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Derek White's really good, and so

136
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: I think they have the pieces. I know, during like

137
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, there was some talking around here of like,

138
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, are they going to add anybody and you

139
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: know they're going to add another wing or something like that.

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: But I think they have enough talent. It's just you

141
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: know what they can do with it. To that point,

142
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: I was wondering, because you know, I can be honest

143
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: about it, when you guys got brogged in, I was,

144
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: you know, I was hating from the outside of the

145
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: club and yeah and acknowledging like yeah, that's kind of

146
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: like the they need. But I'm just interesting, what is

147
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: your level of confidence heading into the postseason? Obviously you

148
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: know we're not quite there yet, but if everything stays

149
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: relatively the same and you guys are relatively healthy, him

150
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: heading in, what you know, what's your level of confidence?

151
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: I think I like it feels it sounds like an

152
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: insidious question from a laker. Yeah, your confidence? That sounds

153
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: view him later on down the road, like a month

154
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: from now, if the Celtics are out, I'm going to

155
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: absolutely hit him on the timeline with remember when you

156
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: said this. By the way, thank you for your time

157
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: and everything. We really appreciate you bringing it, but this

158
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: is you. So also don't but don't don't mention we

159
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: crashed out of the plane either, But I don't worry

160
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah yeah, but yeah, so yeah, well how

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: are you doing? I think they should with the team

162
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: they have, they should get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Now,

163
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: if they lose to the Bus, they lose to the box.

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean last year they were able to get by

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the Bucks, but they h what's his name wasn't it

166
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: got hurt? Um, Middleton wasn't playing, so there was that

167
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: little bit of like, well, what would it have been

168
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: different if he was there? Obviously he's a great player.

169
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: So I think if they get to the Eastern Conference

170
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Finals and lose to the Bucks, that's disappointing, but not

171
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: like crazy, like the Bucks are a great team. But

172
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: if they if they lose before that, if they lose

173
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: in the second round, that's a bummer because I think

174
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: they have a lot of talent and I think there's

175
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: no reason why they shouldn't get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Okay,

176
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: and then that's not a prediction, but I think they should.

177
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: Why not that's your assessment that you that you feel

178
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: it's a fair Uh, I mean they're gonna be a

179
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: two seed. They should. I don't think that's a hot

180
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: take at all. I mean that's not a hot take. No.

181
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: I feel like that's why my career is going nowhere.

182
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: I don't have hot takes. I need to get better ones. Yeah,

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: but he got hot takes. Thought I should. Yeah, it

184
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: should start some kind of that commercial. I think for

185
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: a Dish Network when it was like that Boston Family,

186
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: it was like the thing and I remember there's one

187
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: where the guy comes out with like a dip from

188
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the oven. He's like hot, hot, hot, hot hot, and

189
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: always I think that's why my ear is so dialed

190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: into that campaign. But what we can say to Bart, well,

191
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say shout out to our guy, you know,

192
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: former guests Ben Goliver for pointing this out. And I'm

193
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: I promise I'm not going to be a wet blanket here.

194
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: But if they do make the conference finals, it would

195
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: be the first time in if I'm not mistaken, the

196
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: last four seasons where we had to repeat conference final

197
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: appear all right, So yeah, that in itself would be

198
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: an accomplishment. Yeah. And I mean, look, you got right

199
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: now your match up with the Bucks. You split two

200
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: games on the final matchup going up as you know

201
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: tonight Thursday. Uh So, how like with that game coming up,

202
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, do you think do you think it's that

203
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: important or do you feel it's time you can make

204
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: you know, kind of put a sort of put a

205
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: stamp on it by taking this game, or you just

206
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, look, there's there's there's plenty of

207
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: opportunities ahead, or how you looking at it in terms

208
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: of seating or like future like mental, yeah, mental, every Yeah.

209
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it wouldn't hurt obviously to win, but I

210
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: don't think. I think the Bucks know they can play

211
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: with the Celtics, and I think if they lost, if

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: they lost the season series two to one or whatever

213
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: it is, um, they wouldn't be intimidated going in like,

214
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: oh we can't just we just can't beat these guys.

215
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Like I think they're pretty confident against the Celtics, as

216
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: they should be, and so social to the Celtics. So

217
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: it would help, um, sure, give it a little bit

218
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: of a boost, especially if you can kind of, you know,

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: keep your honest under control. But that was the thing

220
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: with the playoffs last year. I mean, he was unreal

221
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: and that's in that series against the Celtics, and it

222
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: was one of those things where it was, I don't know,

223
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: it was a series where you go, oh my god,

224
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: thank god, we don't have to play him anymore. Whatever whatever.

225
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Golden State, Yeah, whatever, Golden State, Scott, Let's have it.

226
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: And they just you know, they put the beat down

227
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: on a butt. Sure. Yeah, man, they're tough. The Bucks

228
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: are tough. So yeah, I mean, and they're playing really well,

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to them and a bit later in the episode.

230
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: You know the sixers three and oh looking pretty good,

231
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: Jack would ard time accepting that part, especially with your

232
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: love of the Patino Celtics or lack of love for

233
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: that era. Um and then against the Calves one in three. Yeah,

234
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: you know, but but is this do you think that's

235
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: the toughest matchup? Yeah? I think, you know, they have

236
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: shown that they have problems against them. But I think

237
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: with any of these things that with a seven game series,

238
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: unless it's a huge matchup problem, I think that your

239
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: best team is going to come out. And I still think,

240
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, in a seven game series against the Calves

241
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: or you know whoever, Philly, even if it's a tough series,

242
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: you know they'll they'll be able to play them. Well,

243
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I look at that, you know, it's the

244
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: old uh what I don't even know what the word is.

245
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: But the Celtics fans always looking back to seven eight, right,

246
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: we always bring up that championship. It was like three

247
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: years ago. But anyway, that's the team. The team was

248
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: so good, but they play I'm pretty sure the first

249
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: first round series was seven game series against the Bulls.

250
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: There's a couple of seven game series where teams are

251
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: pushing them. So my point is just because like some

252
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: of these teams could push you, yeah, you know you can.

253
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: They can, they have the team to do it. So

254
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: we'll just prove out over the seven, right, like if

255
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: you can figure if they can figure out how to

256
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: score late in the fourth quarter and not turn the

257
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: ball over. That was another thing last year in the

258
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: playoffs they had they had just a couple of stretches

259
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: where they would run into the middle of the lane.

260
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: And you know, Jalen Brown obviously has gotten so much

261
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: better as a player each year as Tatum has, but

262
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: his ball handling last year he would drive into the

263
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: middle and kind of a lot of guys are doing it.

264
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: They were, I think they were pressing, and I think

265
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: they've gotten better with that this year. But we'll see

266
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: because the playoffs, obviously everything goes up ten. Speaking of Tatum,

267
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: that's actually where I was going to go with it.

268
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: You know, like I've thoroughly enjoyed the MVP conversation up

269
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: until the time when I didn't, but it's it's a

270
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun, you know, as as someone that you know,

271
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: kind of always appreciated Biggs. Don't get me wrong, you know,

272
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: like I'm a guarded heart, but I've always appreciated big.

273
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: It's nice to see this, you know, this conversation. But

274
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I will ask you, why do you think Tatum, especially

275
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: when you consider that it's generally the best player on

276
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: one of the best teams, if not the best seam

277
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: by record, is going to be in the conversation for MVP.

278
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: Why do you think Tatum hasn't been getting any more

279
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: love in this discussion? I think because there's a guy

280
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: and Jaylen Brown who's right there with him. I mean,

281
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Tatum's better, but Jaylen Brown. It's like when I feel

282
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: like when there's a one two punch like that, people

283
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: take away from the one. So you know, if some

284
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: of those other guys had a guy right there with him,

285
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: they'd be like, well he has so and so right.

286
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if that happened to Jordan

287
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: at all, Not to compare Tatum to Jordan, but like,

288
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, you have that guy Pippen or something with

289
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: you that's like, I guess, yeah, exactly where you go,

290
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: Well he's got he's got that thing. So yeah, I mean,

291
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: Tatum's been great, He's at a great year, and I

292
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: don't know what the MVP thing is. Yeah, is it

293
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: just best player on the best team? Is that like

294
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: if you take that person off the team, is it

295
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: a completely different conversation. What's gonna have like the Yeah,

296
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: like if you take you know, Embid off the sixers,

297
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: are they just gonna crumble who's more valuable to their team?

298
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: Or is it just like best player best team, which

299
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: is fine. I just like you said, the conversation around

300
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: it has been about two months old, and I'm like, jeez,

301
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: let's talking about the playoffs. Yeah, Okay, let's put a

302
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: pin in that because they're gonna come back because I

303
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: do want to ask you something about your coach, Joe Massoula,

304
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: But that'll be right after this break. We'll be right

305
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: back and we're back, and I gotta ask you, Mike, like,

306
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: ever since Joe Missoula's comment about the royal family and

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, he was talking about Jesus, Marion Joseph with

308
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: a straight face, and then we've seen like this very

309
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: dry kind of comedy style from him, what's your assessment

310
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: of Joe Missoula's like comedy stylings as somebody who's into

311
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: comedy and brings a performer themselves. Well, I think it's

312
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: great because for most of the time, I don't know

313
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: if he's being serious or not. I know me so much.

314
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: It's like a it's like it's like, uh, what's the

315
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: guy like Andy Kaufman. Yes, where it's like you're like,

316
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: are you doing some kind of performance art. I thought

317
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: at first he was dead serious on everything, and then

318
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: recently I was like, oh, I think he's messing. It's

319
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: almost like, uh, Mike McDaniel the coach of the the Dolphins,

320
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: the NFL team, but he is he has a little

321
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: more of like a wink and a nod, right, whereas

322
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: this is like this straight faced like so I like it.

323
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: It makes me want to like watch every press conference.

324
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: It makes me want people to ask him questions. Yeah. Yeah,

325
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: so um, if it's a bit, it's a it's an

326
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: awesome bit. And if he's like being dead serious, then

327
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: like I don't know, dude, then it just kind of

328
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: feels like, oh, he's like one of these singular He's like,

329
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: you have time to be funny because I'm just thinking

330
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: ball all the time, and you're like, oh, okay, go ahead,

331
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: you're like coaching. Yeah, you'd be like coach would you

332
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: do this weekend? He's like, uh, nothing, just got up jumpers.

333
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, but did you go out? He's like no,

334
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, we can't talk. Yeah, you know,

335
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: one of the right. So I feel like he's got

336
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of a man. He's kind of messing

337
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: with people. But yeah, there's definitely there is. There's a

338
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: bit of a wink to it all because especially like

339
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I feel like he's always kind of has a thinly

340
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: cracked smile with a lot of the things he says.

341
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: So anyway, we're waiting to hear from you, Joe. Is

342
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: this in Andy Kaufman, you know kind of bit you're

343
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: doing or are we just we're just basking in your genius. Well,

344
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: let's take things out West West, y'all Dallas. Before I

345
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: had my baby, they were doing really well. Just about

346
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: a week after my son was born, on you know,

347
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: around mid February, they were the four seat and I

348
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, okay, uh and then I remember it's like, oh,

349
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie's heading over there, and I was like, okay. Now

350
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm in the midst of parenting, like my first child.

351
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: So it kind of like I would start checking in

352
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: every few days, things have not been going very well,

353
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: to the point that they are now out of the postseason,

354
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: including the play on As of this recording, Jabari, what

355
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: did I miss what happened? Because I mean, I get

356
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: that it's not all Kyrie, but what's what is going on?

357
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: Exactly that? And I'll be honest with you. And it's

358
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: interesting that we have a Boston fan on with us, uh,

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, for this conversation. But in my opinion, and

360
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know how I feel about it, like, yeah, yeah,

361
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: Kyrie is a singular as an individual talent, isn't you know?

362
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: It's still incredible, still incredible to watch till a heck

363
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: of a lot of fun. But like when they made

364
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: that move, it was a desperation move. It just, you know,

365
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: there's really no other way to describe it. I know

366
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: that you're recently they've been coming out and kind of

367
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: acknowledging that you know, behind the scenes, But the reality is,

368
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a Kyrie issue. This is

369
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: a Dallas Mavericks issue, and it has been an issue

370
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: for quite some time in my estimation. But I'm interested

371
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: in Mike if you see anything different, I don't know.

372
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I haven't been. I didn't just have a child, so

373
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't have an excuse. But I also haven't really

374
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: been paying attention to the Mavericks. But I recently was like, oh,

375
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: because when Luca did that thing at his press conference

376
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: where he's like I'm not having fun like whatever he

377
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: was saying, I was like, wait, what's going on in

378
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: the MAVs? And yeah, they're just not doing well. They're

379
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: not having fun. Is it Kyrie's fault? You know? I

380
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, I'm a salty Celtics fan. I guess.

381
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: Even though it was funny when he when he tried

382
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: to step on the everyone got that funny, but I

383
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: was so ridiculous. But uh yeah, I mean, like you said, Jabari,

384
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: that's like kind of a desperation move to just throw

385
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: him in the mix. He's obviously an awesome player, but

386
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: does he match up well with the team, does he

387
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: work with Luca? I don't know how any of that

388
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: stuff's going. I don't is he playing well? Is is

389
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: Kyrie playing well? He's playing well individually? Book and Luca

390
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: have missed a couple of games here and there, like

391
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: like during the stretch. If I'm not mistaken, the team

392
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: is three and one in the games where it's just

393
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: Kyrie and that Luca. That's not that's a very small

394
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, a sample size, so you don't read

395
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: anything to do that. But it really is a matter

396
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, the thought of Luca playing off ball.

397
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: Whoever thought that was gonna work? Yeah? Right, And in

398
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: order for Kyry to be as effective as you want

399
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: him to be, especially like in a series type situation,

400
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: if you're if you're projecting out to the postseason, Like

401
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to be like, yeah, I told you,

402
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: I told you, I told y'all. But when the move

403
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: was you know, took place, that was my first thought.

404
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: Like that on paper doesn't even make sense, let alone

405
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: like in you know, in practice. Yeah. Yeah, well, I

406
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: mean it's it's funny because when I was like, oh,

407
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: that could be interesting, but part of me, now i'm

408
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: looking back, I'm like it was more fun when Luca

409
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: had to put the whole team on him back no

410
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: matter what, because that was at least he was like

411
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: highlight tape every time. I mean, we could actually just

412
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: talk about it, like just a second goal when they

413
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: played the Pacers. Uh, that pass that Luca through the baseline. Yeah, yeah,

414
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: like an illegal water polo p asks or something that

415
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: he did like the body control to be stuck in

416
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: the corner and be like, okay, so y'all got me

417
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: jammed up? Okay in his mind being like I have

418
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: to elevate and then basically rotate my whole body and

419
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: whip this ball around. Uh. And then you know, thank

420
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: god Jaden Hardy hit that three, because that like truly

421
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: made it like the highlight worth talking about a really

422
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: cool angle from behind Luca and you see him jump

423
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: and throw it. And when he throws it, you're like,

424
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: where's this ball going because there's the people on the way,

425
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: And even when he's doing it, you're like, there are

426
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: easier options, I think to throw this too, but he

427
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: jumps in the ball. It's beautiful. Yeah, and he's hitting

428
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: the three. Obviously helps would the pass Luca able to

429
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: chase it down? They got it trapped on the sideline,

430
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: They fouled in a situation like a little more, how

431
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: hard did he find Hardy? He found him had more importantly,

432
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: Hardy hit the shot after they did find him. That's amazing.

433
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: It's also crazy to think, you know, you look at

434
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: guys like you know, whether it's Luca or like any

435
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: of the guys that are commonly stated as oh they're

436
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: not the most athletic, right, and that type of play

437
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: offers perspective. They may not be as athletic as some

438
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: of the crazy athletes in the league, but you still

439
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: have to have such a tremendous amount of athleticism and

440
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: strength to be able to do that. It's not even funny.

441
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: It basically just reminds me of how washed I am

442
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: when I see a guy like lukea do it. Oh yeah,

443
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: I threw my back out watching Yeah, like that kind

444
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: of trunk rotation. I was like, oh no, no, no, no no,

445
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: amongst seven to ten day you'll reevaluation. Yeah, that's a

446
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: lot of muscles being pulled right there. Yeah. And I

447
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: think it kind of goes back to like how you

448
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: even define athleticism because that's clearly athletic. I mean, sure,

449
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 1: he's not the most explosive person, like he's not going

450
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: zero to sixty like like some players, but you can't

451
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: you can't take that away. Um. Let's also touched on

452
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: Portland because the Blazers I was, I mean, you know,

453
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: maybe some may maybe, but they have also appeared to

454
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: have bowed out. They they've only won one game in

455
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: their last ten and they look like their head to

456
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the lottery. Um, yeah, what what? We asked this question

457
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: all the time. But is this going to be the

458
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: same I'm asking you, Mike, is this gonna be the

459
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: summer where we finally get some move? You know, you

460
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: know the move finally goes down of no, no, no, man, no,

461
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: it's about the loyathin. And when I do that, I'm

462
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: not clowning, Dame. I'm just clowning in the conversation around it. Well,

463
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I think, yes, this is the summer.

464
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: But I thought that the last couple I always think

465
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: that he's gonna he's gonna be gone. And it's just

466
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. They shut him down for the year, right.

467
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: I think it looks like they're about like they if

468
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying to didn't play a couple of nights

469
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: ago and they they kind of shut everybody down. It

470
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: looked like, man, all he would be so fun on

471
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: a team making a run like he is so good,

472
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, I mean he's getting old. I

473
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: think it's time. Yeah, but I don't know he likes

474
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: He just likes playing ball. I saw a cool video

475
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: with him where he was like talking about I forget

476
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: where it was cast or something, where they're asking about

477
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: like winning rings and stuff. He's like, that's not all

478
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: there is to playing basketball, He's like, And I thought

479
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: it was cool. It's kind of a fresh perspective because

480
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: we all think about like, oh, your career glory and

481
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: glory glory. Yeah. Yeah, your career is like a failure

482
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 1: quote unquote if you don't have a ring. But um,

483
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, if you're happy with life and you're crushing

484
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: it and making a lot of money and playing basketball,

485
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: good for you. But obviously, if you make it to

486
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: that level, there is a competitor in you that you

487
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: see other guys who you're like, I'm way better than

488
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: these guys. I can't for a second believe that he's

489
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: not like that it doesn't matter to win like a ring.

490
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: But I get that he probably has a healthy mentality

491
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: to say, but even if I don't, that's not to

492
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: say that I'm not blessed to be even make it

493
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: to the NBA and play at this level that I am.

494
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: So I get objectively, But but you know, every single

495
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: person who's in that league. Those are competitor. There's not

496
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: a single person who does not dream of that. So

497
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm a little bit dupe. I feel like

498
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: it's a little dubious to be like it doesn't matter.

499
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: But I get though, too. You don't, don't You don't

500
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: have to have like the toxic mentality to say, well, then, Mike,

501
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: there's no there's nothing except yeah in two Mike's point

502
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: in that. In that same interview, he you know, he

503
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: was very matter of fact about it. He said like, yeah, like,

504
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: of course he's a competitor. Of course he wants to win.

505
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: But the way he's able to keep himself balanced is

506
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: he goes home. He's got a kid, he's got kids,

507
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: he's got a family, he lives a normal life outside

508
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: of the basketball courts, And you know what, I aspire

509
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: to have that sort of balance and the bank It

510
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: would be nice. It would be nice. My podcaster who's

511
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: jumped the jumper just looks nothing like his. But I

512
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: try and keep it simple too, you know, And I've

513
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: had a bad recording. You know, I'll go home, look

514
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: at my son and just remind myself it's about more

515
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: than that. Mike out there and the retweets. It's not

516
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: all about the download numbers unless the network's asking it.

517
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: Which James were working and then moving along, Denver had

518
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: a seven game lead in the West and that's been

519
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: reduced to three. It's so tight in the West. It

520
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: is so tight. That's like, that's why it's so frustrating.

521
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: Even wats like being a Laker fan and we're like, oh,

522
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: it could have been how many were what was the

523
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: math tobar that we could have jumped? Like how many

524
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: places if there have been easily ten games this season

525
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: that they have it where either they didn't show up

526
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: or they simply played down to the level competition, which

527
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: sounds crazy for a team that just finally made it

528
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: to five hundred, you know, just a couple of days ago.

529
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: But if they just win half of those games, they're

530
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: in the five seas. I know, that's how frustrating it.

531
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: And now we're in the nine and I'm like, I

532
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: don't want to play these monsters up top. That's not

533
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: how we eke our way into some kind of a run,

534
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: but I mean it is. What's the So I know

535
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: you say you don't want to talk about it, but

536
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: what do you guys feel like the Lakers have the

537
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: talent to like make a little bit of a run.

538
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: They're just a frustrating team to watch. I mean, the

539
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: completely deluded fan in me believes we're hanging number eighteen up,

540
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, But the realistic, objective person who you hear

541
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: when I go, I don't want to talk about that.

542
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: It's because there is obviously a crisis of confidence on

543
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: my side. On my part of looking at it and

544
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: just seeing some of the things we've done, like sitting

545
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis against the rockets, I was like, that's a

546
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: prime example where you need to hit the pedal, put

547
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: the pedal to the metal to try and get these done.

548
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: And I get the risk to him, but you look

549
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: at it in the long term, it's like, well, then

550
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: where does that put us in terms of seating and

551
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: then who do we have to get through to do something?

552
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll be glad if we get in

553
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: there and I see something that feels like a respectable,

554
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: respectable performance. I'm not expecting much else from that. And

555
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: that's exactly where I am with it. Like the reality

556
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: is this, you get even a relatively healthy Anthony Davis

557
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: and Lebron James in the series. It's a fun conversation

558
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: no matter how no matter how it plays out, that

559
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: you have an absolute chance. That's all I'm hoping for. Like,

560
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: like I've given up on the Yeah we're hanging eighteen.

561
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't give a hanging it. Just get in, have

562
00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: some fun, you know, the Westbrook class. Yeah, I mean

563
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: I'll say this now, but you know, you know, fast

564
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: forward two and a half weeks from now and they're

565
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: in and I'm gonna be sitting there like, yeah, you

566
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: damn right, we're gonna win this. Yeah, you'd like, get

567
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: it ready, get it ready. They don't want to. They

568
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to see us. They

569
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: don't want to see when Yan gay reel definitely how

570
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: I feel for sure. So I do want to talk

571
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: about a team that I believe is very scary when

572
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: just one player is doing well, Yannis, but the Bucks.

573
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton led the Bucks with thirty four in a

574
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: win over the Pistons, And okay, this is this is

575
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: about the depth because Yannis and Drew were both they

576
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: were sitting. They were sitting pretty but you get thirty

577
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: four from Middleton, then you got twenty four and fourteen

578
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: from Brook Lopez, another twenty one and fourteen from Bobby Portis,

579
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: and twenty two points on six of eight from deep

580
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: from Javon Carter And my take always about the Bucks,

581
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: It's like, well, if they got Chris Middleton going to

582
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: then they got something. And now you're like, yeah, Chris Middleton,

583
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: uh yeah, and Brook and Bob and Javon and then

584
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: Drewianness are just waiting in the wings. I'm like that

585
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: is kind of nightmare fuel for sure. I feel like

586
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: if you're happy to go up against that car has

587
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: its carder rocking that dribble, get to the base line,

588
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: ring boat gutting' got it? Yeah? They I mean they

589
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: have the guys where if a couple of them get going,

590
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of it's all you wrote, like, you

591
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: can't you know all of them. I know you can't.

592
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: Like the more you go down the line, you're like,

593
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: oh yeah him to him too, and then you're like,

594
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: oh no, this isn't good, and that's just leaving out

595
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: the honest part. Yeah. So I feel like you honest

596
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: is such a big vocal point obviously where you're like,

597
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: gotta stop him, gotta stop got something but if those

598
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: other guys are spotting up or like dishing and kicking

599
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: for three, they just have they have enough guys who

600
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: can turn it on. So if three or four of

601
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: them do, that's a real tough out. And then when

602
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: the Celtics are going to be up against in the

603
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, you know you have a question coming

604
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: up later for boldest predictions. I appreciate that you keep

605
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: throwing that particular prediction out there on the way you

606
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: speaking to exist. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And then, uh,

607
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: you know another thing. I haven't been able to talk

608
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: about the Phoenix Suns with Kevin Durant because that was

609
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: another thing. I was like, what what this is? Watching

610
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: that trade deadline was wild? But right now, Jabari, where

611
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: are we at with them? How are they? How have

612
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: they been performing? Bring me up to speed with them,

613
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: because I know Katie has been not he hasn't been

614
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: playing recently, right, go, yeah, he's been out with a

615
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: foot injury. But the reality is this, And it's kind

616
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: of like with the Lakers. And I know that people

617
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: may hear this initially and say like, oh, no, you're

618
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: just lumping them in, but no, like you look at

619
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: the reality of Katie. You look at the reality of

620
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: CP three, you look at even the reality of Devin Booker.

621
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: They need to be healthy. If they're healthy, I feel

622
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a hell of a run

623
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see it, you know, especially if,

624
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 1: in particular, if it doesn't come with the Lakers. Man.

625
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: But no, I think it's gonna be a hell of

626
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: a run. But it really is a matter of if

627
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: that's a big if you know, you're dealing with guys

628
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: that are you know, especially with you know, with Katie uh,

629
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, returning from injury and CP three, you know,

630
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: just traditionally that you know, for whatever reason, especially at

631
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: this time of year, they may, you know, they maybe

632
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: have some questions about their body. I'm hopeful and and

633
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: and this is you know, tieing the sky admittedly, but

634
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that we at least get a somewhat healthy

635
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: first round out of these guys. Beyond that, all bets

636
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: are off. But it would be nice to see them

637
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: make a run or at least see what they can

638
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: do together. It is interesting to watch. I mean, as

639
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: much as I like to your point, I don't want

640
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: to go through them. I'm just like you know all

641
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: three of them are injured, but also it'd be interesting

642
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: to see all those three pieces clicking together and humming along,

643
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: because I would definitely it's that. That's a fun basketball

644
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: one hundred per cent. Uh. And you know the bulls

645
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: are back in the conversation. You know it's the playing Yeah,

646
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but I mean just still just don't

647
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: because it comes on the heels of Zach Levine just

648
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: violating us at the crypt I do not want to.

649
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: And then that whole game from that to just Pat

650
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Bev hitting Lebron with the too small it was just

651
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: just just a it was a hard, hard experience to

652
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: witness while holding a young child in your arms. I

653
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: will say that. All right, let's take another break and

654
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: we'll be right back with the most coveted segment in

655
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: all of sports podcasts in the hot seat right after this,

656
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: and we're back and to close out the show like

657
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: we always do, it's good to be back here. We

658
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: got to bring it into the rapid fire round of questioning. Now, Mike,

659
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: I gotta warn you, this is the fastest segment in

660
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: sports podcasting that is an official NBA product in collaboration

661
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio okay, and this whole whole point of this

662
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: segment is we're gonna hit you with some questions. Don't think,

663
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: don't elaborate, not just I'm passing you chest right just chest,

664
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: pass it right back. Don't don't do any finger spins

665
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: or nothing like that. I'm just looking for an instant reaction.

666
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: And it is on you to keep the show moving.

667
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: So if I start, you know, bloviating or going on

668
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: some tangent, you need to guy to steer this ship again. Okay,

669
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: like right now, thank you, jabari, okay, um, it's everybody ready?

670
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Okay um, I heard you know I was listening back.

671
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not sure. The other rapid fire around

672
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: is a questioning count because I never heard anybody start

673
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: the clock, or at least a couple of them. Nobody did.

674
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: So we were waiting for your triumph return. Oh are

675
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: you well? It's not a rapid fire around a question

676
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: unless we start there we go? Is this for both

677
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: of us? Is that? No? For you? This is just

678
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: for our exalted guest. Okay, are you ready? I'm ready?

679
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: Mike Cameron Lingo in the hot seat. Question number the first,

680
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: is there a single NBA player you would take right

681
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: now over the chance of taking wembin Yama with the

682
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: first pick this summer. Um uh uh, Luca is too tall?

683
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: Ok wow, Luca? Okay, we're just talking about him in

684
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: that passage in my head. He's still young enough. Oh yeah, yeah,

685
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeahwa is awesome, by the way, but he did you know,

686
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: he seems kind of tall. It's hard to know. I mean,

687
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: you know Chad too, You're like, are we going in

688
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: on another big guy? Who? Anyway? All that to say,

689
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: it feels like Luca too. His head might be turning,

690
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, he might. Let's see where here because we

691
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: might be fighting over him, at least emotionally. Um. Yeah, okay, Mike,

692
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: a better answers, I'm sure, but I didn't. I didn't think.

693
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: I tried not to use my brain. Well, a better

694
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: answer would have been a quicker, shorter answer that kept

695
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: the second going. But Jabari, please go on, all right,

696
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: we'll keep this going. All right, Mike, you can go

697
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: back in history and attaining any single game throughout NBA

698
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: an outside of Game four, nineteen eighty seven finals, which

699
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: one would you choose? Um? Uh? Can I do? Olympics?

700
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: When Vince Carter jumped over the French. Yeah, yeah, disrespect.

701
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: I was just talking about that too with Jack, but

702
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 1: I think it was in the context of a deep

703
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: fake where it was Trump or something. Uh yeah that

704
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: oh man, does anybody know anybody who is even at

705
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: I mean why might even ask somebody who was in

706
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good times. Even though I

707
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: don't even know really what happened the rest of the game,

708
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: but just that one moment I think would be worth it.

709
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it is like one of those those moments

710
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: where you're like your jaw falls on the floor. I remember,

711
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: like this was like pre YouTube era, and I had

712
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: like the gift of that dunk that I would just

713
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: like open on my computer be like, do you all

714
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: remember this back when gifts were YouTube? That's how old

715
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: I am. Uh, Mike, you can take any former Celtic

716
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: and pair him with the Jays. Which former Celtic are

717
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: you bringing out of the cryo freeze to play with them?

718
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta go, Larry Bird. Look at that?

719
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Look at that? You got Bird in the corner, Tatum

720
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: in the other cornerball ma'am. Yeah. That was a small

721
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: lineup keeping it going. What is your boldest postseason or

722
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: even play in Predictions for this year bold, go bold,

723
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: like we're at Del Taco, Go Bigger, go home. The

724
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: Lakers are gonna win their first round ploffs. They're gonna

725
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: make it to the second round of the playoffs. Stop

726
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: the show, stop the count. Stop. We're good. At the

727
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: count stopping we are good. That's number eighteen right there. Spiritually,

728
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: you heard it here first, you heard it here. We

729
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: are so delusional and desperate that that's all we needed

730
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: to feel better. I can see you, guys, I can

731
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: see it in your eyes. You say, give me something

732
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: about the Lakers, Mike, And as much as I like

733
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: that answer, it wasn't fast enough. But I do have

734
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: to keep the segment of going. Here's the question. You

735
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: make some incredible sixty second recaps of movies and just

736
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: other iconic scenes from TV and et cetera. Uh sixty

737
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: second classics dot Com check it out, which we highly recommend.

738
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: But we have to ask, what are your top three

739
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: basketball movies of all time? Um, white Man Can't Chump? Yes,

740
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: Above the Rim, Yes, and I know there's another one

741
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting. No, I'm not up to you. This is this.

742
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: There's no wrong answers Blue Chips, boot Chips, Yes, I'll

743
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: say Sunset Park a park park, what time is it?

744
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: Definitely number one? And uh and Above the Rooms a

745
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: close second. I love them, and then the other ones

746
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: are kind of interchangeable. I think I like boot Chips,

747
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: but I boot Chips the movie I've only seen a

748
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: couple of times, whereas White Men Can't chump above the rim,

749
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: I'll watch if I come across it by just really quickly.

750
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: The original cast that they had in mind for The

751
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: White Man Kanjo was Denzel in Keanu playing that play

752
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: in those roles for Billy Hoe and and in Sydney

753
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: d I don't know if Keanu could have pulled off.

828
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,759

Speaker 1: t i E s on Twitter and you know, let's

834
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: get to our tweet of the week. We were asking

00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: polling again, jabari, where are we asking people? Who? Who

836
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: are we shouting out? All right, so we went polling again.

837
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: We wanted their final Player Award predictions and the you know,

838
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: the results are in. I'm not gonna live y'as a

839
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: little bit. Marlins. Yeah, who are Marvel Spurts? First of all,

840
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: obviously they're just as good as we are. Huh. Look,

841
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: they should have votes, just like anybody else that has

842
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: a vote right now, yes, and uh, you know, if

843
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: the League office is listening to this, which they actually will, yeah,

844
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: we're just kidding and you should give those folks okay,

845
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: but also but also bring down the fifty point basket

846
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: from Rock and Jock that hit. Can't keep. You can't

847
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: keep telling y'all this, I can't keep. I keep asking

848
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: our liaison at the league. I say, get Adam Silver

849
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: on the phone right now with me, and they say

850
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: that can't happen, and put Dan Cortez on a roster

851
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: now every time, it's as simple as that. I want

852
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa stealing the ball at half court. Yeah, I know, yeah,

853
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: I remember one I used to go because it used

854
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: to be at UC Irvine for a while. Uh. And

855
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: I remember Method Man was wearing the Barry Sanders air

856
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: Zoom turf shoes during a basketball game. I was like, oh,

857
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: that's tough, even though that is the absolute wrong shoot

858
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: for a basketball court. But anyway, what were so what

859
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,479
Speaker 1: were the results? MVP? You ask deep the defensive player

860
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: six man, et cetera. What do we got? I'll go

861
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: through quickly, MVP. Forty eight percent of you guys now

862
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: say it is MBI. That is very different from earlier

863
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: and you know a little bit earlier in the season.

864
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: Just twenty eight percent for Yoki Defensive Player of the Year.

865
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of you guys now say Brook thirty

866
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: two percent for Triple j Okay six man, this was

867
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: an interesting one because there's kind of you know, even

868
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: evenly distributed, but thirty five percent at least, said Brogden,

869
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: with twenty eight percent coming in for Portis. I still

870
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: think it's to be Russ. I'm not mad at it.

871
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm not mad it's still gonna be rust I'm not

872
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: backing down from that prediction from the beginning of the

873
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: year six May. That's where the money was, all right,

874
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: Brook of the year eighty one percent Bank Carroll. We did.

875
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: Really don't have to go there, but I will say

876
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: shout out to Jalen Williams because he has been fantastic.

877
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: While he's not going to get the award, it's good

878
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: to see him, you know, developing there in ok see,

879
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: most Improved. This is the one that actually surprised me. Look,

880
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: I said earlier in the year, it wouldn't shock me

881
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: if market and won it. But that's you know, specifically

882
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: because of the circumstances or whatever. But the reason why

883
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: this surprised him is because sixty two percent, you know,

884
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: said Marketing, and only twenty percent for SGA. Traditionally, I

885
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: recognize what the what we think the award should mean,

886
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: but like, let's say the last ten, they've pretty much

887
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: gone to guys that were good, that went from the

888
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: most star to all you know, all NBA and beyond

889
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: the elite level superstar level. So that's you know that,

890
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: That to me is the reason why I wouldn't be

891
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: shocked if you know SGA got it. Uh neither here

892
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 1: nor there. Yeah, but I think marking in fits more

893
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: like the spirit or at least how or like when

894
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: you're playing organized sports and most Improved were like remember

895
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: that scrub he hit every point or that one game

896
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: and you're like yeah. And last, but not least Coach

897
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: of the Year Mike Brown runaway seventy two percent. If

898
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: you guys think he's gonna be the coach of the Year,

899
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: and I think he will be too. Okay, and Boostie's

900
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: listener the week goes to at Bucks Hoholigan, who thinks, okay,

901
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: see's Mark Dagoneau deserves some wow Coach of the Year love. Okay,

902
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: all right, you're supposed to be a tanking team and

903
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: they're right there, and a lot of tankinis that just

00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm still rusty. I'm just getting back into the swing

00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: of things because I am a new dad and you

911
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,520
