15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,800

54
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: gonna start by drafting last night's best games. Yeah, that's

55
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: a fun segment we do on No Dunks from time

56
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: to time. There's a bunch of games on. We want

57
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: to bounce around a little bit and Task, we're going

58
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 3: to give you the honor of the number one pick.

59
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: So from the eight games last night, who are you

60
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: going with? First?

61
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Timberwolves. They took care of those Los Angeles Clippers. Now,

62
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: this is all about Anthony Edwards, but I want to

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: start with the fact that Chris Finch told us I'm

64
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: not changing the starting lineup. No, he put Dante Juke

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Devincenzo into that starting line And so my point is

66
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: you can't trust what coaches say at all because Devincenzo

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: was inserted beside Mike or beside Anthony Edwards instead of

68
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Mike Conley just to get a little spark going for

69
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: these Timberls and didn't start well. Only no, only sixteen

70
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: points in the first quarter. Devincenzo had zero field goals

71
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: in the first half, so did Julius Randall. Anthony Edwards

72
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: was even quiet, only nine points in the first half,

73
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: although he did have a dunk. Anthon Andwards can dunk,

74
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: but it did spark them in the third quarter. They

75
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: had an incredible run through the second quarter and the

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: third quarter, a forty four to twenty five run. And

77
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Devincenzo although we were a little concerned yesterday when we

78
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: talked about this potential starting lineup changers, but can Devin

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Chanzo run the point guard? And you could see that

80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: he could and then he couldn't at times. I mean

81
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: he would run the pick and roll and just decide,

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just going to step out and shoot.

83
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: So that opened up a little bit of space for

84
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: aanth Anderwards. He hit a couple threes in the third

85
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: quarter and Anthony Edwards he went off. When I started

86
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: to say that at the beginning here that it was

87
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: all about Anthony Andwards, listen, I did like the insertion

88
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: of Dante de Vincenzo, but Anthony Edwards just.

89
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Took this team.

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: He was on his shoulders. He was ridiculous. In that

91
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: third quarter. He had fifteen points. He just brought the

92
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: ball up. Oh yeah, I'll just step into a three

93
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: step backs doing whatever he wanted. Fifteen points in that

94
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: third quarter, some euros. He looked so good. But Devin

95
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Genzo insertion did something for the Timberwolves because it provided

96
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Edwards just another guy to do something where he could

97
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: find some corner passes. But nos Reed also was big

98
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: in this game. And I mentioned those three guys together

99
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: because without Mike Conley, those three guys have to share

100
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: the ball handling, and nos Reed was big in this game.

101
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: He ran the five to five. I call it the

102
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: five to five because he runs a pick and roll

103
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: with Rudy Gobert. I mean, you can call nas Reed

104
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: whatever you want, but he is a good pick and

105
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: roll handler. I mean he starts it up. He had

106
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: seventeen in this game. He was really really good in

107
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: this one. And it all came down to the end

108
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: of this game where yeah, Devincenzo was coming through in

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but really two minutes left, nice stop

110
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: by Divicenzo on James Harden. Then Anthony Edwards just said, Wow,

111
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna do this. Minute fifteen left. He steps

112
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: out free throw line extended what Jim Peterson called the

113
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: nipple on the broadcast. Such an odd, odd term, but

114
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: he calls the three point line out where the free

115
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: throw line extended. He pump fake Derek Jones Junior, who

116
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: was able to stop him yes last year in the

117
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: Conference finals when he played for Dallas, but here for

118
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: the Clippers, wasn't able to see Anthony was so confident.

119
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: They pump fix and hits a three. Then he hits

120
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: another three and seals it for Minnesota against the Clippers,

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: who didn't play Kawhi Leonard in the fourth quarter in

122
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: a back to back situation only twenty minutes as the

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Clippers are trying to get him going. So as much

124
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: as I love these the Clippers and call them a

125
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: potential contender, you have to wonder. You have to watch

126
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: unfortunately Kawhi's minutes as they go up, and you can't

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: believe what Tyl Loo says either. You can't believe what

128
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: any coach says, because Tyler go before Saturday. I'm just

129
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna read this quote from you here as I take

130
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: off my Canada gloves careful.

131
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

132
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got some hand heaters in my pockets, but

133
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm a little too tough to use those right now.

134
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: But Kawai said, excuse me, Tylu said about Kawhi going

135
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: in to Saturday's game. Friday, he said, you know what,

136
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna rule out Kawhi Leonard. Three point five hours later,

137
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: they upgraded him Leonard to questionable and he was asked,

138
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? He said, Leonard was going

139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: to play. I just didn't want to be bothered by

140
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: you guys. So they play it. They played it well,

141
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: and I think at the in the end Chris Finch

142
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: played it well and inserting Vincenzo because first half was

143
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: garbage for them. But again, just somebody to take a

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: little pressure off Anthony Edwards as they try and figure

145
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: things out. Nazrie taking over for Julius Randall in the

146
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Chris Finch will play any lineup. He's still

147
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. But I do think the

148
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: enthusiasm was there. You even saw them get super excited

149
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: for Joe Ingle inbounding a ball for the Minnesota Inferrals

150
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: Joiningkles doesn't play basketball anymore, he hasn't played in two months, basically,

151
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: and he inbounded a ball and that was it, and

152
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: that was his job, and they were all excited for him.

153
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: They loved it. They absolutely loved it.

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: It was a nice inbounds.

155
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: It was it was, it.

156
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: Was very solid. He didn't panic threw it into the.

157
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Backyard at the end of the fourth quarter.

158
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, this got really close to this game here too.

159
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: So weird, like there was a couple of chances that

160
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: the Clippers could have either got this to overtime or

161
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: even won this thing. Just these weird like offensive rebounds

162
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: and missed free throws on purpose, But in the end

163
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: they pull it off in like I think, like Task said,

164
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: he got to it right, Like Anthony Edwards just hit

165
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: some huge shots down the stretch when the Clippers had

166
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: a lead.

167
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: Thirteen points in the fourth quarter. For Antony figured out

168
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 4: how to be double teams. Just shoot it before they

169
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: get there. Literally, that was what happened. You could see

170
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: like Harden coming to Dublin, but he's getting the jumper

171
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: off from a couple of steps from behind the three

172
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: point line and was in such a good rhythm that

173
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: it was dropping tasses right like Devincenzo in for Mike Conley.

174
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 4: I think helped Mike Conley more than to help Devincenzo,

175
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: at least in the first half, because I was a

176
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: little bit worried for this Timberwolves team got down nineteen

177
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: in the second quarter, looked pretty flat and you're like,

178
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: uh oh, they did do a change after this, liar,

179
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: Chris Finch told us they weren't and it didn't work

180
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: right away, But then in the second half it seemed

181
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: like everybody started playing a lot better. Devincenzo finished with

182
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: fifteen points, Conley eleven points, four boards, three assists. Jayden

183
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: McDaniels hit three threes, including that one in the fourth quarter.

184
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: I was like, why did he even shoot that? Caught

185
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: the pass from Edwards, guy all over him, jab step,

186
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: and then hit the three. I think that was big

187
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: for him, and now as Reid for Julius Randon was

188
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 4: interesting at the start of the fourth quarter, but I

189
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 4: thought even more interesting last four minutes. Neither of those

190
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 4: guys played. It was just one big for the timber Wolves,

191
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: getting as much shooting as they possibly can on the court.

192
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: I think is the strategy there for Chris Finch. And

193
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: they're playing against a Clippers team who's generally playing pretty

194
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: small except for zoo bots out there. So, like Tass said,

195
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: Chris Finch will try any lineup right now, and it's

196
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 4: pretty smart of him to try any lineup. Right now

197
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: because it's working out the combinations that actually work and

198
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: so good stuff to pull out that win. Getting down early,

199
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: it was scary time. It was like they're going to

200
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: get booted off the court at halftime here, but they

201
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: came back a bunch of huge runs, awesome stuff from Minnesota.

202
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Wolves improved to eighteen and seventeen with

203
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: that win. So they're back about five hundred clips fall

204
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: two twenty and sixteen, and yeah, test set it Kawhi back.

205
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 3: You know, you hit a couple threes again, but three

206
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: of eleven overall only the twenty twenty one minutes he

207
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: finished with eight points. And they're going to slow play

208
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 3: this no matter what Tylu and the Clippers organization is

209
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: going to tell us. You know, it's going to take

210
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: some time, and they're going to take their time obviously,

211
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: trying to work them back into as much, you know,

212
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: to one hundred percent as possible as you can with Kawhi.

213
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: All right, so that is game one. Let's go to

214
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: UTK number two pick overall.

215
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: Well, shout out to baseballing Cricket. It was a game

216
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: of runs between the Detroit Pistons and the Portland Trail Blazers.

217
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 4: The Blazers fourteen to two run in the first quarter

218
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: take a huge lead. The Pistons battle back. The Blazers

219
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: go on to seventeen to zero run to start the fourth.

220
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: The second quarter, Pistons answer that basically immediately with a

221
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: fourteen to zero run. Then to start the third, Pistons

222
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: go on a ten to oh run. So on and

223
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: so forth until the fourth quarter when we got a

224
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 4: mini duel between Anthony Simons and Tim Hardaway Junior. They

225
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: hit four threes like back to back to back to back.

226
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: Simons had seventeen in the fourth he hit three threes

227
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: and Tim Hardaway hit three threes in the fourth quarter.

228
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: He finished with eleven in the quarter. Two of those

229
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: threes from Tim Hardaway Junior came in a very important time,

230
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: I thought for the Pistons. Kate Cunningham had an awesome

231
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 4: game in this one, thirty points through three quarters, finished

232
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: with thirty two. But he sat three minutes in the

233
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: fourth with no Ivy out there. It's kind of like

234
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: who's gonna do the scoring, and it literally was Tim

235
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: Hardaway Junior. He went off, he hit his couple of threes.

236
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: I think he hit a mid Ranger as well. Like

237
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: I said, Kate finished with thirty two and nine, but

238
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway Junior hit the threes. Malik Beasley hit a

239
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: big three as well. Yeah, and then Jayalen Duran had

240
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 4: a tip dunk that kind of was the dagger I

241
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: thought for the Pistons. It's their seventh in eight games

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: for Detroit and they're five hundred for the first time

243
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: after New Year's since twenty.

244
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 3: Nineteen, since we were the starters.

245
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

246
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have never been over five hundred after New

247
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: Year's since we've been doing no dunks. We've done over

248
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 3: thirteen hundred episodes as no dunks with the athletic That's

249
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: a long time and it's nice to see the Pistons

250
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: at five hundred tasks. Any thoughts on them climbing to

251
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: eighteen and eighteen here?

252
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just going through that. I realized Kate Cunningham,

253
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: this is year four for him. I mean, the only

254
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: time he's been over five hundred was when they were

255
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: two to one last year.

256
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

257
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: That's the only time, and so he must feel incredibly good.

258
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: He signed that MAX extension this past offseason.

259
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: He's leading this team.

260
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: They got him some shooters which.

261
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Big, big, big time, and so he just must feel

262
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: incredibly good. And it has been impressive this year because

263
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: it could have easily been one of Kate Cunningham's first

264
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: three years in his career. They started zero to four,

265
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: they started eight and twelve, they started ten and fifteen,

266
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: but they continued to fight. And yes they have shooters,

267
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: but even without Jay and Ivy Noah sar Thompson yesterday

268
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: as well with an illness him sitting out, so they

269
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: were lacking scorers. But Tim Hardaway, what a monstrous edition

270
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: he's been. I mean, he's been really really good in

271
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: that trade from Dallas.

272
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: Had Chauncey Billups getting sort of honored there too, obviously

273
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: the coach of the Blazers, and they did sort of

274
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: something for the Detroit two thousand and four championship and

275
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. So we

276
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 3: got a very competitive game, and yeah, it was really good.

277
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: I know, it's weird to say at this point, even

278
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: late in the seasons, like oh, a Blazer's Pistons game

279
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: on a Monday night entertaining. I'm sure you guys were

280
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: bouncing around and saw a little bit of this one

281
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: on playback we took in quite a second half. There

282
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: you go, all right, I'll keep it moving here with

283
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: the third pick. Overall, I'm going with DeRozan scoring nine

284
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: of Sacramento's eleven points in the second overtime as the

285
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: Kings beat the Heat won twenty three point eighteen to

286
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: extend their winning streak to five games under Doug Christy.

287
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: Are you a Christian? So I saw someone say are

288
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: you a believer?

289
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 4: Believer?

290
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: That's right. Biggest sequence of this game for me came

291
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: with like one forty five left in regulation. The Heat,

292
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 3: who at one point releading this game by seventeen points.

293
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: I mean, they blew this one. And that's sort of

294
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: been their m this whole season. They had these big

295
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: leads and they blow them. They were holding on to

296
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: a five point lead late regulation. Kean Ellis took a

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: really sort of tough, contested off balance jumper in front

298
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 3: of the Heat bench. He missed, but the ball took

299
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: a super high bounce. Tyler Hero a lot smaller than

300
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: Keegan Murray, not the greatest box out either. Keig Murray

301
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: grabbed the offensive board over Hero. It found its way

302
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: to de rozen. He drove good d here from the

303
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: Heat DeRozan got caught in the air. He's like, I'm

304
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: not shooting it, so I'm like gonna try and pass it,

305
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: but he didn't really have anyone to pass do, so

306
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: he almost like just dropped it. But luckily for him,

307
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: Kean Ellis was sort of cutting. He came up with

308
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: the got it to Murray in the corner, who banged

309
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: home with three. Suddenly it was a two point game.

310
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: And then immediately after that and it wasn't really because

311
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: a King's ball pressure. Tyler hero just like brought the

312
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: ball up super slowly and like again, there were a

313
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: couple of Kings guys there, and right at the last second,

314
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: Tyler Herro realized, holy crap, I'm gonna get an eight

315
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: second violation. Tried to get over the line, but that

316
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: King's bench, Don Christie, everybody was on it. That's a violation.

317
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: That's a violation. Rev called it. It was the right call.

318
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't think he got across. And that was huge

319
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: because after a couple misses from both ends, the Kings

320
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: would eventually tie this and get it to overtime. So

321
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: that was a big sequence, and I brought up Ellis

322
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: within that sequence. He was awesome. Tasks once again, you know,

323
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: him inserted into the starting lineup making huge defensive plays.

324
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: I think I saw something like he may have had

325
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: like fifteen deflections alone last night. No, I know it

326
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: was a longer game than normal, being a double overtime game,

327
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: but that's incredible. Keegan Murray, good defense on Tyler Hero

328
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: once he got switched on to him in this game.

329
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: And then Sabonis just like a workhorse, like you know,

330
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: he actually pulled that team together at one point, like

331
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: with about eight minutes to go when they were down,

332
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: Big got the team together around the free throw line

333
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: and obviously like let's go here, come on, let's we

334
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: can win this. We can get back in this game.

335
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: So I thought those three guys defensively tasked. But ke

336
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: On Ellis, I know who you love again. Awesome.

337
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely, he is the second coming of Doug Christy. I mean,

338
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm a Christian believer.

339
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: I guess I am.

340
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that reads better than said.

341
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah Christian.

342
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

343
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: As I listened to you from outside, I wonder, what

344
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: is what is he going with? Oh okay, I get it,

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: I do get it. But ke On Ellis, I am

346
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: a believer. No doubt it is weird. You mentioned that

347
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: play one point thirty left in the fourth quarter. Tomar

348
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: derozen down five drives, has nowhere to go so basically

349
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: just drops it on the floor. But Keon Elis is

350
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: doing something which is very useful, not standing around, he's

351
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: just moving. Yeah, and he just literally just tapped the

352
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: ball to Keegan Murray with that monstrous three, and that

353
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: was huge. Now, at the end of regulation, he could

354
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: have ended this game, have hit two free throws, but

355
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: he only hit the one. So yeah, he was hard

356
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: on himself. But he is just a guy who will

357
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: not stop. He's a guy who isn't a high drafic.

358
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: Obviously there hasn't been a lot made about him. So

359
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: he will continue to fight for everything he gets in

360
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the NBA. And that's something that the Kings need, period,

361
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: and so it's good to see him do that.

362
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a play when Fox comes back. That's

363
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: why he's getting a ton of minutes right now. But

364
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: I think he's going to be a more vital piece

365
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: of Doug Christie's rotation than he obviously was with Mike

366
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: Brown hit three threes in the fourth quarter, and like

367
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: you said, tass. He grifted those free throws at the

368
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 4: end of overtime, like he probably traveled in the corner

369
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: on that one, but they got the win. He made

370
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: some shots, so I don't know. I guess it'll be

371
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: Malik Munkle have to go back to the bench. His

372
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: playmaking has been pretty big, I think for the Kings,

373
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: but I think they need the defense from Keon Ellis

374
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: and then needing the ball like he doesn't need the ball,

375
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: he just runs around out there. That's very helpful to

376
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: have a fifth starter who just gets in where he

377
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: fits in. So I think that should be the play

378
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: for Doug. When Darren Fox comes back, I think he's

379
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 4: got a bruised butt cheek right, So yes, a buttexkintusion,

380
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: that's a nice way of saying it. Derezan hit a

381
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: big jumper. It looked like bulls deroze again in the

382
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. Through both overtimes. He hit the one with

383
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 4: thirteen seconds left to put the Kings up by five,

384
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 4: and Mark Jones yelled belated Happy New Year.

385
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: WHOA so the last day you can say it, apparently,

386
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: Larry David exactly right. You had to sneak it in,

387
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: Larry David says, you can't say happy New Year after

388
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: January seventh. I believe this is his official term. A

389
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: couple of boneheaded plays from the heat too. I mean

390
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: we brought up the one where Tyler Hero got the

391
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: eight second violation.

392
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: That's rough.

393
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: At that point of the game, Hawkke has missed a

394
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: wide open three in the corner in front of the

395
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: King's bench that probably would have iced it at the

396
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: end of regulation, and then he would Highsmith after some misses.

397
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: He fouled Sabonis ninety four feet from the rim. I mean,

398
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: this was a rebound that Sibona's grabbed, a defensive rebound.

399
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 3: It was off the Hawk has missed and he fouled him,

400
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: and it was like, oh my god, and that put

401
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: some bones to line. He clanked home the first free throw.

402
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: It was like he like nearly almost it was between

403
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: the backboard in the rim. It was like right at

404
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: the back of the round. It just like died on

405
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: the spot and fell in. And then he hit the

406
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: second one. He switched to that, so we hit both.

407
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: But a couple of those plays really did the heat

408
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: in and I saw this like this is now the

409
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: fourth game the heat of loss, where they've led by

410
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: fifteen or more, and that is the most blown fifteen

411
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: point leads this season. They've done it twice to the

412
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: Kings now because it happened in early November, to the Suns,

413
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 3: they had a fifteen point lead. Remember they were up

414
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: on the Magic what twenty five points right before Christmas

415
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: and then now this one. So don't love to see that.

416
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: I will say Hawkes Junior did have a good game.

417
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: I mean he filled up the box score sixteen points,

418
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: twelve boards, tennisist, one of his best all around games

419
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: as a pro. But I do feel like he probably

420
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: didn't sleep a lot last night. He's probably thinking of

421
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: that MYSS three in the corner. And then at the

422
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: end of regulation he missed two free throws that probably

423
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: would have again wrapped it up in all likelihood from Miami.

424
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: So tough loss for them. Task back to you, though,

425
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: for your fourth overall.

426
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: Pick, I'm taking the Phoenix Suns defeating the Philadelphia seventy

427
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: six ers. Now, this ain't about their new starting lineup.

428
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal to the bench, use of Nurkic to the bench,

429
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: Miles Plumbley come on in, you got it, and Ryan

430
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: Dunn come on in, you got it, But I was

431
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: not convinced by this Phoenix Suns win whatsoever. As my

432
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: eyes tear a little bit, I'm not crying for Bradley Beal. No,

433
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: it's just chilly out here. But Bradley Beal went to

434
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: the bench. He looked like a different player. In all honesty,

435
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: he looked extremely spright. Now maybe that's just me and watching,

436
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: but he got to the rim extremely fast. He was

437
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen from the field, twenty five points for him.

438
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: I thought he looked just ready to go as soon

439
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: as he was inserted, because they needed him desperately. The

440
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: reason they made the starting lineup change is it's it's

441
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: a tad for offense, but a lot of it is

442
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: for defense. And Miles Plumbley, he can't be that guy

443
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: at center.

444
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: He just can't.

445
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: He's it can't be Miles either.

446
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: Said Mason. I know I've been thinking about Mason and

447
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: Miles forever. Yeah, so Mason, I always get them wrong

448
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: for some reason. Marshall, Yeah, the other the other one.

449
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: No one duke right a good time. Yeah, So Mason Plumbley,

450
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have it. Unfortunately, he's not that he's

451
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: a bad defender coming in for use of Narkis, but

452
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: he's too slow. First possession UH of this game for

453
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers, he couldn't get out to

454
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: gershon Yabusel, who was starting for center, because no one

455
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: beat No Drummond. So the Phoenix Suns knew what the

456
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: format wasn't They knew how to play, but they couldn't

457
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: spark the defense at all. Possession after possession after possession,

458
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: huge gaps between the defender and the offensive player. I

459
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: mean there were like lakes out there and what they

460
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: were supposed to do. Mason Plumbley allowed that. Then Kelly

461
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: Ubray drove into the lane. Devin Booker provided him a

462
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: little bit too much room. Kelly Ubray banged it home.

463
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: Then Tyer's Maxy literally just started dribbling up the floor

464
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: to start a possession. Nobody guarded him. He banged home

465
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: with three. Then Ubery drove again baseline. Booker didn't help,

466
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: so Mike Buenolzer had to call a time out and say,

467
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? The Phoenix Suns, they're trying

468
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: to figure out what they're doing there, I mean offensively.

469
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: The problem is, yes, they are a mid shooting a

470
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: mid range shooting team.

471
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: That is what they do. They're twenty ninth in.

472
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: Dunks, their thirtieth by far in terms of layups, his

473
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: shots at the rim, that is what they do. That's

474
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: fine offensively, they can do it. But I don't see

475
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: a spark coming defensively for this team, even though they

476
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: went after really Bradley Beal came in to the lineup

477
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: and helped him out because they got off to a

478
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: slow start. But I'm just not convinced. I'm not convinced

479
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: watching this team, convinced by the chemistry. And after the game,

480
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal was asked about this no trade clause. He

481
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: was asked, does this all mean you going to the bench?

482
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: This whole Jimmy Butler thing that you could be dealt

483
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: he said. In response to the trade class, he said, quote,

484
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: if so, I need to be addressed because I hold

485
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the cards.

486
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: That is savage.

487
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: That's a great answer for him. I mean, he looked

488
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: really different out there for this one game. But I'm

489
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: not convinced that it's going to last a long time.

490
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: He is going to come off the bench for a while.

491
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer said after the game, this isn't just a

492
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: day to day, game to game thing. We're doing this

493
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: and I think the worst thing is I mentioned the

494
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: center spot with Mason don't coll me Miles Plumbley coming in.

495
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: They don't have an athletic center to really help them

496
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: out the use of Nurkic body language. I'm reading into this,

497
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: but he came in and only played fourteen minutes in

498
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: this game. I didn't think he had. I didn't think

499
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: he was providing enough. We always questioned Bradley Beal and

500
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: whether he's going to play game to game to game.

501
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: I was wrong.

502
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I thought he would. I think the same question could

503
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: be said for use off Nurkic. I meant I think

504
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: also Igudharo and the beautiful pass that he had to

505
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal is was a lot more convincing to me

506
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: that he's got the athleticism. They're just an old team.

507
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: They're kind of they're kind of caught, they're getting old,

508
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: and they've got these young guys Agudaro, Ryan Dunn. But

509
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: at the same time, the Rooks they're they're they're way

510
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: too young, so they have this gap that I don't

511
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they can really close. So it's gonna

512
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: be an interesting month that Bradley Beal. I suppose may say, hey,

513
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: trade me. I'd love to be a number one guy

514
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: somewhere else. I think that is a possibility. But I

515
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: don't see the Phoenix Suns turning this thing around. They

516
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: get out to those big deficits you mentioned skeets, the

517
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat one that.

518
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 2: They get out to these these these big leads.

519
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: I should say the Phoenix Suns also aren't able to

520
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: recover from a lot of their big deficits. I know,

521
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: in the opposite way, they just don't start games all

522
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: that Well, that wasn't really a good comparison to the

523
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. I take it all back. Yeah, yeah, No,

524
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: it's more. It's more of the Minnesota Timberwlves. Is a

525
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: better connection because the Timberwlves get out to big deficits.

526
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: They overcome it. These Sons do not. They do not

527
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 2: overcome it.

528
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 3: Bill definitely was a spark off the bench, but it

529
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: wasn't happy about his comments are fascinating, he said after

530
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 3: the game. Coach made his decision. Live with it. It's

531
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: kind of twofold. I'm a starter in the league. I

532
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 3: firmly believe that no disrespect to anybody, but I'm a starter.

533
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 3: Coach made a decision. I'm not going to sit there

534
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: and argue with them. I'm not going to sit there

535
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: and be a distraction, okay, being a pro, and I'm

536
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: not going to be an a hole.

537
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think.

538
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he was grumpy by any in any

539
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: way though. Really I don't think he was taking it.

540
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, I'm not going to question what

541
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: the coach is doing. I'm not going to be an

542
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: a hole.

543
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's not happy about coming off the bench.

544
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 2: He still thinks he is a starter.

545
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 3: And it's a It's different than Mike Conley, an eighteen

546
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: year evet coming off the bench. And he seemed more

547
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: welcoming to that, and like, Okay, I get it, whereas

548
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 3: Beale believes and maybe rightfully so that I'm still a

549
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: starter in this league and these guys do take it

550
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: to heart.

551
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 4: Absolutely did.

552
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 3: But it did work in this game.

553
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he should have played worse. Right, wants to start.

554
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: He shouldn't have played so long. Twenty five points and

555
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: five assists. Their bench outscored the seventy six was bench

556
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 4: fifty four to seven. I think Beal had twenty in

557
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: the second half alone. He also played eleven of twelve

558
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: fourth quarter minutes. That's what a starter does. Oh so

559
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: Wigadoro played twelve minutes in the fourth quarter. I think

560
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: like tass is saying he's going to be a bigger

561
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: piece for the Suns just because he moves more. We'll

562
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: see how long Beal comes off the bench, because an

563
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 4: easy solution would be starting Beal for Tias Jones. Like

564
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: Tyas Jones is not an offensive player, and he's really

565
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 4: the reason alongside the centers that the Sons are getting

566
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 4: killed defensively because when they start Beal, Booker and Tias Jones,

567
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: that's three small guards that is bad for your defense.

568
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 4: They can't really start a Kogi because not a shooter

569
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 4: as well. So the solution will be moving Biel back

570
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 4: into the starting lineup for Tyas Jones if they want

571
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 4: to do it. We'll see if they do it. This

572
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 4: one was disgusting for the first half, but the second

573
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 4: half was fun to watch.

574
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I mentioned yeah Booker's early possession where

575
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: he didn't guard Kelly Ubray all that hard, or he

576
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't help out on the Ubrey dunk. He's being asked

577
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: a lot as a perimeter guard, So you bring up

578
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: a good point. There is Tias Jones going to the

579
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: bench for Bradley Beal the option. Really it's a trade

580
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: to change this lineup because they are get out score teams,

581
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: but are they going to out defend teams? It just

582
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like that's the case.

583
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: All right, let's move to the fifth pick. Overall, still

584
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: lots on the board. TK, Where are you going?

585
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 4: I got a bone to pick. Kobe White crushed a

586
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: dagger dunk on Victor wemban Yama's head, and this guy

587
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: got a sixty five point two dunk score skeets the

588
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: tenth highest of the night.

589
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Make it mix the third highest of the game. Look

590
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 3: at this dunk.

591
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: This was ridiculous. A thirteen point nine defensive contest score

592
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: from Victor Wembanyama, who definitely was a little league. I

593
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: don't care. Kobe White got a ninety four point three

594
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: defensive contest score when John Collins dunked on him. Victor

595
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: Wee Banyama has more blocks in a month than Kobe

596
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 4: White has his entire career. If you dunk and when

597
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 4: Beanyama touches your body, it should be one hundred. Simple. Wow,

598
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 4: it's that easy. The guy's six foot two. Wemby is

599
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 4: seven foot five. I mean that would be like a

600
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 4: ten year old dunking on you.

601
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: Damn well, give it time and I'm sure it'll happen.

602
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 4: Huge stuff from Kobe White, twenty three points in the

603
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 4: twenty three points, nine of them in the fourth quarter.

604
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 4: The Bulls put this one away with an eleven to

605
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: zero run to end the game. Basically Coslanzo Ball subbed

606
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 4: in for Josh Giddy and they took away Chris Paul

607
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: hitting mid range jumper after mid range jumper after mid

608
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: range jumper. Kobe's been scringing some nice games together his

609
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: last five games, twenty four points, five assists, shooting forty

610
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 4: eight from the field, forty one from three to ninety

611
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 4: five at the line. But zach Lavine was the star

612
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: once again in this one. Thirty five points, ten rebounds,

613
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 4: eight assists, fourteen points in the fourth quarter, including three threes,

614
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 4: had two assists as well, in no turnovers. I love

615
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: to see it. The decision making is always the problem

616
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 4: with zach Lavine, but he was getting to his spots,

617
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 4: he was rising up, and he was knocking down any

618
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: sort of shot. He wanted great stuff from the balls,

619
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: straining together those wins like I wanted at the start

620
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 4: of the new year. The game has changed now they're

621
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: going for the playoffs.

622
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw you tweet something like they're only four

623
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 3: games back from hosting a playoffs. Yes, right, so jammed.

624
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 3: It is in the Eastern Conference, so I guess it's

625
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: in play tast Any thoughts on either Kobe Whites dunk

626
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: there on Wemby or the Bulls getting the victory.

627
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: Of the Spurs, Well, I'm taking it home to Toronto.

628
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Trey gets a Chicago win while the Toronto Raptors got

629
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: destroyed by the milky wwakie Bucks. And that's not extremely

630
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: surprising that they got beat by the Bucks. But what

631
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: was more surprising we didn't get a Greek Heritage Night

632
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: in Toronto.

633
00:28:58,960 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: Oh damn.

634
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, Okay, Yanna show up, you gotta go

635
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Greek dance on the floor. No, I'm just I just

636
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: mean give something to the Greek fans of Toronto, period,

637
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And as far as the Raptors go,

638
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: how will they respond after getting beat by twenty four points?

639
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: But that doesn't tell the story of what this game was.

640
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: They got destroyed. They set all the right things after

641
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: the game, Rgie Barrett said, yeah, I mean, we can

642
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: look at the play and the x's and o's, but

643
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: we just didn't try all that hard. That is my question.

644
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: What happens? How will they respond? I do think they

645
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: said the right things, and just like everybody in marketing

646
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: should be saying we're going to have a Greek Night

647
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: at some point, that should be said as well.

648
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Just I just checked the Raptors schedule too, and the

649
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Bucks do not visit Toronto again this season, so.

650
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: Now it's probably not going to happen.

651
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: Interesting.

652
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, although Chicago did get a Greek Heritage Night early

653
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: and just before Christmas, so yeah, we're in town.

654
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

655
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: Yes.

656
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: He's not obligated to come to the floor and give

657
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: a speech to the nine hundred Greek fans in the audience.

658
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: That's that's not his obligation. That's fine, But just a

659
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: little a little Greek dance. I mean, I think I

660
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: think he would do it quick as a Becky co

661
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: and get out of it.

662
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: It's like Gunnis and Theory gets to like celebrate Greek night,

663
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 3: like twenty nine times out.

664
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: Of the season.

665
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, ghost, that's Greek.

666
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: The full collection twenty nine NBA hats that are in

667
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 4: Greek colors.

668
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Chicago had a cool Greek hat too.

669
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: All right.

670
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Raptors lost, but that's not being drafted here

671
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: in our game here. But I'll take the final pick.

672
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: It's a six pick overall. I'm going with Jared Jackson Jr.

673
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: Scoring thirty five points to lead the Grizzlies past the Maps.

674
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: Now look here, both teams were without their starting backcourts.

675
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: Grizzlies have no Ja Morant, no Desmond Bane. They are injured.

676
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: Same for the Mavericks. You know, Luca out with the

677
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: calf strain. And then earlier on Monday, Dallas announced Kyrie

678
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: Irving is gonna miss some time here with a bulging

679
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: disc in his back. You gotta make sure you say

680
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 3: that one slow. But he's gonna be out for a

681
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: couple of weeks. So like none of the guards that

682
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: you would go to see pay good money to see

683
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: in Memphis, they're played last night. But that was okay

684
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: because Jaron Jackson Junior did the heavy lifting here for Grizzlies,

685
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: thirty five points thirteen boards, five assists. They got the

686
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: easy victory one nineteen one oh four over Dallas. Just

687
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 3: a quick couple notes on this game. I liked what

688
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins did trying a few things. We

689
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: saw first quarter Yuki Kama Mura minutes.

690
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, not a lot, but he.

691
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: Was inserted in there. Now they're short on a lot

692
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: of guys and he got a couple minutes in the

693
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: first quarter. You don't see that often, but this in

694
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: the second quarter, really smooth move. I thought from Jenkins

695
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: to play Triple J and Jay Huff together, which sounds

696
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: like an awesome like ww wrestling team Triple J and

697
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: j Huff competing for the title. But they played together,

698
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: and that sort of like those The ability for those

699
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 3: guys to stretch the floor was a bit of an

700
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: issue for Derek Lively, who is out there, you know,

701
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: can't take both guys on, can only play one, and

702
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: those guys were banging home some threes. The Grizzlies closed

703
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: that quarter, that second quarter on a seventeen to six run,

704
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: So that was a nice coaching decision there. Again, this

705
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: one lost a lot of umph after, especially after Kyrie

706
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Irving wasn't playing, but still Grizzlies get it done if

707
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: he have any notes on it.

708
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 4: While I saw Jaron Jackson Junior had thirteen rebounds, which

709
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 4: ties his career high in the regular season. Wow, he

710
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: has two fourteen rebound playoff games. Did you know Jaron

711
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: Jackson Junior has thirty two double digit rebounding games in

712
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 4: his career in three hundred and ninety one total games.

713
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 4: That's actually crazy to me. I know he's not a

714
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 4: great rebounder, that's the number one criticism with him, But

715
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: only ten percent of his games he has double digit rebounds.

716
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 4: It's not that hard to get ten rebounds.

717
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: Yes, dude, ten Yeah, yeah, he plays a ton. That

718
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: is shocking.

719
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a low number.

720
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: This was also fun though. A couple of weeks ago,

721
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: before are You Show the photo? JD, we talked about

722
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: aj Green on the Milwaukee Bucks dairy Bird as he's

723
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 3: lovingly known as, and for whatever reason, we thought it

724
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 3: would be a great celebration for dairy bird, like to

725
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: do the utters?

726
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: All right?

727
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: Threw up the utters? Somebody milk them? Still sounds weird

728
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: when you say it out loud. Well, Luke Canard, I

729
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: don't know if he's a fan of the show or what,

730
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: or maybe he was just doing a weird stretch. But

731
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: after the Grizzly scored, there was a shot of the

732
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: Grizzlies bench and Luke Canard he threw up the utters milky. Okay, Now,

733
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: obviously dairy Bird was not playing in this game. It

734
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: was after a very weird John Conchard Jayhawk fast break though,

735
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: so white guy's involved. But yeah, I just had a

736
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: laugh when I saw that. I was like, that's the

737
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: that's the that's the dairy Bird milk celebration we want.

738
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: So maybe Luke Canard's trying to get a going past.

739
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: I showed you that earlier tasks. I know you you

740
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking.

741
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I love it.

742
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: How you need to make a celebration reference, it's got

743
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: to be all white guys. It's like comparing white guys

744
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: to other white guys. It's like Aj Green miraculously having

745
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: the nickname dairy Burt. I mean, it's perfect when you

746
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: compare white guys and basketball. I mean you have to.

747
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: You have to compare every white eye. And when you

748
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: make a celebration reference, it's got to be all the

749
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: white guys.

750
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Dairy Milk.

751
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: Where are you, Darry Milk, Chocolate Pard, where are you

752
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: to make this happen?

753
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: Get involved? Get a sponsorship going? Why not?

754
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 4: I don't want to be scooped on the Milkies. You don't.

755
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 3: Okay, that's us drafting last night's games. Let's get into

756
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: the updown report. Yeah, cover down on the other celebration Okay,

757
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 3: utter or down? First of one. According to the Athletic,

758
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: the Warriors are not interested in trading for Jimmy Butler,

759
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: who would simply cost too much, both in terms of

760
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 3: the max money he maybe wants and the package price

761
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 3: of dealing for him. We sort of talked about this yesterday. Instead,

762
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: the Warriors are looking to make deals for players on

763
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 3: mid tier contracts, and, according to sources at the Athletic

764
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 3: Bull Center, Nikolavucevic has emerged as a trade option. We

765
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 3: know what thumbs we're gonna see from TK. We'll get

766
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: to task in a second. But up or down on

767
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 3: reports that the Warriors actually don't want to pursue Jimmy

768
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: Butler and would prefer Vucci.

769
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: Baby, Yeah, I'm not actually sure how to relate my

770
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: thumbs to this. I'm going down from the Warriors effective.

771
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: I think they should go for Butler. That's what I

772
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 4: think they should prefer Jimmy Butler over at Nikola Vucevic.

773
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: I wonder how much of this is negotiating out in

774
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 4: public saying yeah, we actually don't want that guy, which

775
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 4: could lower the price a little bit. How much of

776
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 4: this is expectation setting for their and say it's gonna

777
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: be tough for us to get Jimmy Butler. We're not

778
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 4: sure if it's the right move. Were we to go

779
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: after Vouch, he's cheaper, like it's a lower ceiling, definitely,

780
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 4: but it probably only costs like salary filler like Looney

781
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 4: I assume would be in the deal, maybe Gary Payton

782
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 4: the second and then second round picks to get Vooch,

783
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: which would then mean Golden State could try another move,

784
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: whether it be in the summer or a more minor

785
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 4: move at the trade deadline. But I don't know. This

786
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 4: just kind of feels like the Warriors method to me.

787
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: Right now, they get off to a hot start, they

788
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: start struggling, they're in huge trade rumors, and then they

789
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 4: don't really do anything major. Last season in twenty twenty four,

790
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 4: Corey Joseph got shipped out for second round picks. In

791
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, they brought in Gary Payton the second,

792
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 4: even though he was injured at the time. Twenty twenty

793
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 4: two no moves. Twenty twenty one, they traded brad Wanamaker

794
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 4: for seconds. I was so happy to write his name

795
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 4: in my nose for youse today's skeets. Their last real

796
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 4: big trade was twenty twenty D'Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins.

797
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 4: It just feels like the Warriors are hesitant to make

798
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 4: a big move because they're worried about what's going to

799
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 4: happen after Steph Curry finally retires. They don't want to

800
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: trade all that stuff in the future. Guess what your

801
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 4: team's going to stink anyways, You're going to be tanking

802
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 4: no matter what. I think they should go for it.

803
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 4: It's also a different front office, right It's Mike Dunleevy

804
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 4: compared to Bob Myers in the past, but dun Levy

805
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 4: didn't use Chris Paul's contract to improve the team at all.

806
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 4: Marcus Thompson Anthony Slater are reporting that the Warriors are

807
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 4: kind of accepting that even a trade for Vucevich wouldn't

808
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 4: improve the team. That much, so why do it? It

809
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: seems pretty self defeating to me to take yourself out

810
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: of the running for these players. When we all see

811
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 4: what Steph Curry is capable of doing, We see the

812
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 4: team can be good, and the injury to d Anthony

813
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 4: Melton shouldn't throw them this far off. They're pretty far away,

814
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 4: so I think they need to make a move more

815
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 4: so for a Butler than a Vooch. But if they

816
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: want to make a move for Vouch like he will

817
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: improve their team guaranteed.

818
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, So thumbs down from the warrior's side of this,

819
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: probably thumbs up from the bull side because you've been

820
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 3: down to trade Vucevic for a while, what do you think?

821
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 2: Big thumbs up on both sides.

822
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: Trey brings up good points about Mike Dunlevy being this

823
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: new sort of front office. Making the deal for Dennis

824
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: Shrewder pushes them in a slightly different direction than they

825
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: have been making smaller deals in the past, and I

826
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: give them thumbs up both for a potential Vouch deal

827
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: but also the potential Jimmy Butler deal actually going for it,

828
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: because as far as getting Vouch, it ain't going to

829
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: cost them that much and it will meet expectations. The

830
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors would like a starting center, but not

831
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: necessarily a closing center. They've been looking for a good

832
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: starting center, trade Jackson Davis, obviously Kevin Looney. They've started

833
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, but they're not looking for that as they're

834
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: not looking to support their start their finishing lineup. I

835
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: should say Vucevic can start, but he ain't gonna finish

836
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: their their finishing lineup. You know, if they still had

837
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: the same guys, it would be Curry and shrewder in

838
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: the backcourt, Kaminga, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green playing the five.

839
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: They want Draymond Green playing the five to end, but

840
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: playing the four to start. So Vouch wouldn't even finish games.

841
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: He'd just be there doing the one first quarter and

842
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: a third quarter thing that the Warriors have classically done

843
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: throughout their winning championship dynasties, whether it's Kevon Looney or

844
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: Andrew bo Get to start or whoever. So I think

845
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: it would work on both situations. But I do totally

846
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: agree that the more you look at it, you've done

847
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: everything for Steph Curry, and the one thing you could

848
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: do for Steph Curry is to go and get somebody

849
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: who could really really give them a chance to win

850
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: a championship, and that is Jimmy Butler. As much as

851
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: we all ridicule Jimmy Butler and he's what he's doing

852
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: right now, he would help them in a postseason. So

853
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,439
Speaker 1: it would be nice to give that to Steph, give

854
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: him one more shot because the window is obviously closing

855
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: extremely quickly. This might be the last time to make

856
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: it work with Curry and Draymond, and so getting Vouch

857
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: would help. Getting Jimmy Butler would hel even more right.

858
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 3: But Vouch doesn't vault the Warriors into a legit contender

859
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 3: status where you can squint and talk yourself into Jimmy

860
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: Butler once you get to the postseason. If you get

861
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: to the postseason, maybe getting you to that level. Now

862
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: a lot of people push back on that, say, no,

863
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: he's sort of washed at this point. That would be bad.

864
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: It's obviously gonna take way more talent going out your

865
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: door to get Jimmy Butler than it would Vouch, as

866
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 3: Trey went through too. So there's that. And within this article,

867
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: Brooklyn's Cam Johnson his name mentioned as another possible potential

868
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 3: Warriors target. Sort of weird because they already did a

869
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 3: deal with the Nets for Shouder, but Cam Johnson's gonna

870
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 3: cost more than Vucevic. I believe it feels like he's

871
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: more of a first round pick, where vouch is probably

872
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: contracting secreattars Hey. Let's keep it moving here. According to

873
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 3: the Athletics Andrew March Him, MAVs legend Dirt Novitsky and

874
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: Lob City King, Blake Griffin will join broadcaster Taylor Rooks

875
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 3: for Amazon's studio coverage of the NBA. So Prime Video

876
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: will telecast games beginning with the twenty five twenty six season.

877
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 3: That's next season, so tasks up or down on Blake

878
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 3: and Dirk here joining Taylor Rooks. These are reports but

879
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,479
Speaker 3: likely joining Amazon's NBA studio show.

880
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm up, definitely up on it. I think specifically with

881
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: the Dirk insertion, it's because they want to make the

882
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: game bigger. They want to entice European fans, and Dirk

883
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: would get on these broadcasts, which would be more likely

884
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: in US afternoon time, So it's primetime European time, and

885
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: that's what they're going after. I think it's just it's

886
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: a smart idea. Get Dirk's name in there help out

887
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Andrew Marsham pointed that out, and I think

888
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: that's totally accurate. And as far as the Blake goes,

889
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: I love Blake. I think he's just he's not as

890
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: button up as a lot of broadcasters. He's just a

891
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: little He's obviously extremely fun and so the broadcaster, the

892
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: mo for broadcasters maybe changing here. As we change the

893
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: way we take in basketball games, it might be changing

894
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: as well with Blake, who would be good on both sides.

895
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he obviously knows the x's and o's and

896
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: all that, but it's nice to have a funny guy

897
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: in the broadcast.

898
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 3: Sure, what do you think? TK thumbs up or sums down?

899
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 4: Two thumbs up, two thumbs up. Two funny guys like

900
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 4: Griffin and Dirk Novitski are like two of the funniest

901
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 4: press conferences that we've had since the two thousands, probably

902
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 4: even before. I don't remember press conferences all that much,

903
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: least did they even have them back then. Michael Jordan

904
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 4: had a couple kept retiring. But yeah, these guys will

905
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 4: be good, they'll be funny, and they'll be alongside Taylor

906
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 4: Rooks the best three on three team in broadcasting. I

907
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 4: would have to imagine neither Blake nor Dirk are too

908
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 4: far removed from their playing days. They still know the

909
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 4: guys that are in the league, which I think is huge.

910
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 4: And I don't think you're gonna get a hating on

911
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 4: the game from either of these guys. Blake maybe more so.

912
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 4: You know, he's just got more of like a Zinger

913
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 4: kind of temperament, I think than Dirk does. But Dirk's

914
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 4: gonna be honoring all these guys that we're seeing. He

915
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 4: helps usher in three point shooting from big guys, so

916
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 4: he's not gonna be complaining if you don't know, taking

917
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 4: ten threes a game at a seven flitter.

918
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm up on this as well. On paper, this

919
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: looks like an awesome three people to have on your

920
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 3: studio show for a brand new studio show at that

921
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 3: in Taylor Rooks and Blake and Dirk. I will just say, though,

922
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: you never know what these things right. As great as

923
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 3: these people are individually, as talented as they are, especially

924
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: in Taylor Rook's case of being on television, it's all

925
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: comes down to chemistry, right, and you'll have to give

926
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 3: that some time, give that them reps hopefully have the

927
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,359

00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: down on Leangel Ball's new song Tweaker.

00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 4: Welcome to Big Bangers Up. I can't believe how good

946
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 4: this song is.

947
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: New natedog just dropped it's careat he.

948
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 4: Sounds like Nate Doog on the chorus. I don't know

949
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 4: what's happening on the verses, but the choruses are so good,

950
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 4: and like you said, it's catching on. The Lions were

951
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 4: listening to it after they secured the number one seed

952
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 4: in the NFL playoffs. I saw the nets did like

953
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 4: a viral video sort of thing that players are walking

954
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 4: in and the social media manager says to them finish

955
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 4: the lyric. I might swear have been that corner. Wow,

956
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 4: And everybody just starts dying laughing and drops the whoa.

957
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 4: Once you listen to it once, you want to listen

958
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 4: to it again.

959
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 3: It's very catchy. Tash, are your thumbs up on a

960
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: Leangelo Ball's new viral hit song?

961
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: Here thumbs up.

962
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: I would say there's a lot of songs where the

963
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: chorus is good, but I think Leangel Ball takes it

964
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: at another level. He's good in the verses and there's

965
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: a lot of lines. You can get the the the

966
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: analytics to see how many lines of guy wraps per verse.

967
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 2: You take to take a look at the numbers. This

968
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: guy does it. He's good. Kevin Pelton, No, I'm not

969
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: doing it.

970
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it, but I I do think that

971
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: they're they're decent, and I actually like the background singing

972
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 1: within it. It's a the mud, you know, there's there's

973
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: there's singing there, there's some part there meld for sure. Yes, yes,

974
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: I do it from my father, shut Out the Shutout

975
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: for dad. Yeah, yeah, thanks LeVar, he did it. Yeah, solid.

976
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 3: It's very catchy. As everyone has pointed out, it sounds

977
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: like it's from two thousand and five. Yeah, okay. I

978
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: think a lot of people have compared it to like

979
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 3: Big Timers meets the Madden intro. Okay, it's that mashup

980
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: of music, and everybody's wondering who's he gonna put on

981
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: the remix because it feels like you could go with

982
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: so many directions. Juvenile whatever do for a juvenile rejuvenation

983
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: j from three to six Mafia. I mean, I want

984
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 3: to talking. Nelly should be on this song. It's got

985
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 3: Nelly vibes. Oh man, what a catchy song here. I

986
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 3: might swear ben that corner.

987
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 4: I want to hear Lonzo and LaMelo on it. Sure,

988
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 4: it's by the Ball Brothers. Allegedly Lonzo is the lyricist

989
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: behind it. Maybe it's like, you know, there's a I

990
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: can't believe I'm gonna say this, Okay, you know, it's

991
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 4: just like Fallout Boy. What's the guy's name, Pete Pete. Yeah,

992
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 4: Pete writes the songs, but he likes Patrick Stump's voice better,

993
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 4: so he has him sing it.

994
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 3: Wow, shut up, that's a team player.

995
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just a fall Off Boy reference for you.

996
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 4: Lots of bands do it, but apparently Lonzo's like, I

997
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 4: love your voice, le Angelo, I wrote a bad her

998
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 4: for you. I'd like to hear what the other two

999
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: can do.

1000
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: Nah, just stick with writing.

1001
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, because of this, because I was listening to this,

1002
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: I got sucked into a Lonzo Balls song from I

1003
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: don't know, four years ago or something. He just sings

1004
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: about his shoes over and over and over again.

1005
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 3: My shoes, her my fee, my dad rue McRee.

1006
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1007
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: So like that, this tweet was going around to the

1008
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 3: only appropriate way to listen to Leangelo Ball's new track.

1009
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: It's so perfect, so good, all right? Moving on, The

1010
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls will retire Derek Rose's number one jersey next season.

1011
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 3: Bulls president Michael Reinsdorf shared the news with d Rose

1012
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 3: ahead of the team's Derek Rose Night celebration on Saturday.

1013
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 3: I know you might be a little confused. We had

1014
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 3: a Derek Rose Night celebration and then we got news

1015
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 3: that we're going to retire Derek Rose's jersey next season.

1016
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 3: Details will be announced at a later date. But t

1017
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 3: k upper down on Rose getting his jersey retired by

1018
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 3: the Bulls.

1019
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 4: I am up on this. I agree with you. It's

1020
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 4: a little surprising they didn't do it on Derreck Rose

1021
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 4: Day one, four twenty five. They brought back like all

1022
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 4: of his old teammates. Brad Miller showed up wearing a

1023
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 4: Sacramento Kings sweatshirt, Aaron Gray was around, we were trying

1024
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 4: to identify John lucas the third in the group chats.

1025
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 4: They brought everybody back just to announce that in a year,

1026
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: Derreck Rose is getting his jersey retired, and he's basically

1027
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 4: getting it retired off of three seasons, three and a

1028
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 4: half if we're being honest. But I think it needs

1029
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 4: to happen for the Bulls because if Derek Rose, the

1030
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 4: youngest MVP in league history, the only guy that's won

1031
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 4: an MVP for the Bulls outside of MJ, the most

1032
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 4: significant Bull league wide of the past twenty five years.

1033
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,240
Speaker 4: If he doesn't get his jersey retired, then the standard

1034
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 4: becomes you gotta win six titles and they'll never retire

1035
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 4: another jersey again. So I think good stuff retiring Rose's

1036
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 4: jersey for what he did for the Bulls and being

1037
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 4: from Chicago. It also opens the door. I think you've

1038
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 4: gotten somebody outside of the dynasty for like a Dennis

1039
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 4: Rodman who wasn't there for very long but won three titles.

1040
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 4: Is very important for them, and Jokim Noah I think

1041
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 4: would probably be next up from the non dynasty years.

1042
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 4: So good stuff and weird how it happened, but yeah,

1043
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 4: load they beat the next That was cool.

1044
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 3: But I mean, I mean, I'm excited for the jersey

1045
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 3: retirement if you base it off the Derek Rose celebration night,

1046
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 3: which they had a lot of things going around that

1047
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of cool activations and stuff like that,

1048
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 3: and even within the game and stuff like that was

1049
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 3: neat so task, I mean, Derek Rose's connection with Chicago undeniable.

1050
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 3: So I can only assume your thumbs up on them

1051
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 3: honoring him.

1052
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: You're correct, Yes, I am up on it, because yes,

1053
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: they really have to redo this ceremony.

1054
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: I was shocked.

1055
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: I turned to it because I saw as I saw

1056
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: Jokim Noah doing his speech, and I thought they were

1057
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: retiring as jersey. Being that they're at center court, they're

1058
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: doing the whole thing.

1059
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

1060
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: But Jokim Noah has to be back next year because

1061
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: I thought joking no was awesome. I mean, he was

1062
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: really making Derek Rose cry. He's great on the mic.

1063
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: He was phenomenal. He had a beautiful Derek Rose shirt on.

1064
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 1: It was a great addition. And you know Derek Rose

1065
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: at the end. I thought it was interesting and he

1066
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: excuse pretty quick on the mic. But he's I think

1067
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: grown from what he used to be. He basically said, that's.

1068
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: The old me.

1069
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: I'm a businessman now. So hopefully he has grown and

1070
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: we will see him again next year. I suppose that

1071
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: a celebration that should have Jokim Noa just just take

1072
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: the mic and let that guy goll it.

1073
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 2: I mean, he is so good.

1074
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 3: Rose will be the fifth player in Bull's history to

1075
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,720
Speaker 3: have their jersey retired, joining Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Michael Jordan,

1076
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 3: and Scottie Pippen. So at some point probably during the offseason,

1077
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: will learn the date that they're going to retire Derek

1078
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 3: Ro's number. Final one here in the updown report.

1079
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 4: He's back.

1088
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:20,359

1089
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,480

00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 1: want to look at his legs.

1095
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 4: It's freaky.

00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 3: k sums upper sums down.

Speaker 4: but I love that he comes back every year.

1104
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 2: Fat this guy.

1105
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 4: It's like watching a magic trick. You think you should

1106
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 4: be able to figure it out, and he gets so

1107
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: upset that they keep doing it and they keep fooling you.

1112
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 4: just adding, but still imagine King Cake Baby here just

1113

00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 3: for like the other ten and a half months. Great,

1122
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,840

1123
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, And is he only around in

Speaker 4: games can there possibly be between now and Marty Groth fifteen?

1126
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: Maybe all that time?

1127
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was.

1128
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't part of the the ad that it's uh

1129
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: it's Marty Grass time.

1130
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's not. It's a month away. Oh no.

1131
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 3: It's a very long celebration.

1132
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: Though, but it starts in February, but it started now.

1133
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, the cake Baby is just gonna be at games

1134
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: for yeah, six weeks.

1135
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're gonna see a lot of kincake Baby,

1136
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 3: especially on your social which I'm happy about. I'm thumbs

1137
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 3: up for those that don't know. By the way, like

1138
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: what the hell this guy is? This thing is? I mean,

1139
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 3: Marty Grass always has that that sugary, sweet, colorful I

1140
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 3: guess kink cake. And then within it are usually small charms,

1141
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: which are I guess plastic baby figurines that represent Jesus

1142
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 3: and they're hidden in the cake. If you get them,

1143
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 3: that's like, I think it's two things. If you find one,

1144
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 3: it's good luck for you for the year, and I

1145
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 3: believe you are in charge of bringing the King Cake

1146
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 3: to the next party.

1147
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 4: Oh that's good.

1148
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have good luck, but you gotta go

1149
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 3: shell out. I don't know what do these costs? Twelve

1150
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 3: ninety nine. So that's what he is based off of.

1151
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: He's just a giant, creepy version of baby.

1152
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 4: Just a person who dressed out like a big baby.

1153
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's weird.

1154
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 3: He's just dressed up like someone at Times Square on

1155
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve. We're in a diaper.

1156
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 4: So do you think one of the Pelicans has to

1157
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 4: find Kitcake Baby around the arena and then they get

1158
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 4: to to the arena the next year if they're still

1159
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 4: on the.

1160
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 3: Team and talk about that. I've thought about that. All right,

1161
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 3: that's the updown report. Let's hear from all of you

1166
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: here unfortunately, but I lost? Who else lost with me?

1167
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: Past lost because we took the Philadelphia seventy six ers.

1168
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 3: I don't know about Utah. I thought Joel and Beiid

1169
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: was playing.

1170
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I definitely did.

1171
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 3: Why do we ever think that he didn't play suns one.

1172
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 3: As we talked about the mean, they just had to

1173
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 3: like cover and they just won outright. So what's tonight's

1174
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 3: game task?

1175
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, initially I saw Golden State was hosting Miami. We've

1176
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: got the Jimmy Butler going to Golden State connection.

1177
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: Excited about that.

1178
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: Miami on the second night of back to backs, it

1179
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: was a nine and a half point underdog. I thought

1180
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: that was shocking that they're that big a dog. But

1181
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: then I saw that Zion Wilmson maybe coming back for

1182
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Pelicans.

1183
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,479
Speaker 2: Maybe he's questionable. So I had to pick.

1184
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: I had to pick the Pelicans hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves,

1185
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: and they're a four and a half point dog. The

1186
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 1: Pelicans are at home, and so all of us saw

1187
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: that and saw this injured Pelicans team and we thought,

1188
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the Timberwolves are going to cover Skeet's trade. Myself,

1189
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 1: we all picked Minnesota, so forcing Esh essentially to take

1190
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: the Pelicans because for some reason, we've got a rule

1191
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: that all four of us can't take one team. But

1192
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: the line is, I look here at my frozen cell

1193
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: phone outdoors, it's bumped up to five and a half.

1194
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: So I guess that may mean that Zion isn't playing,

1195
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: or that means that people are just all over the

1196
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves after winning last night. I'm not sure, but

1197
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: there you have it. Three of us are taking the

1198
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: tea Wolves. Sorry, I'm not sorry. I'm out here, standing

1199
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: out here for you. You should be out here. You should

1200
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 1: have lost to No I'm kidding. You've got the old Pelicans,

1201
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully z Ion's playing. He's questionable from what I saw,

1202
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure if that's changed.

1203
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: Well, kinking maybe be in the tenants it's his time.

1204
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I think so, so I'll give him

1205
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 3: a bump here. But yeah, Ash does have some points

1206
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 3: to play with, as the Pelicans are four and a

1207
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: half point dogs. We need the Wolves to win by

1208
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: five or more. I'm still looking for my first victory

1209
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 3: here in January. All right, tass, good work obviously. How

1210
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 3: you feeling after standing outside in the below freezing temperatures

1211
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 3: here for an hour?

1212
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm feeling slightly numb. I mean it's not bad.

1213
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: I can't complain. I've got my fingers are slightly cold.

1214
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't really have warm boots living in the South. Yeah,

1215
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I've been moving my feet quite a lot.

1216
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: I need to get some moisturizer. I noticed today when

1217
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: putting on my socks that maybe the cold here is

1218
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: made me all ashy. I guess I have to start

1219
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: moisturizing my legs. Oh gosh, yeah, you're just are you?

1220
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1221
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 2: I see I see this camera, this robotic camera moving down.

1222
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 4: Legs.

1223
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I've got six layers on my legs, so

00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,520
