Speaker 1: Cloud nine. Since I don't know five point thirty pm yesterday,

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: all I wanted to do was say Usa, Usa, Usa

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: over and over, maybe record a podcast or play pickup basketball.

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: It ended up being picked up basketball. But now it's

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: podcasting time. However, if you want some more Olympics, not

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: just the basketball stuff, go check out last night's Summer

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: of Champions with Skeets, Nora and JD. Some great stuff

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: in there. You got Nora talking basketball, fun to hear

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: her takes on the bronze, Bushy gray Beard, what else

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: the men's two hundred meters, They discussed Sidney McLaughlin, Lavrone,

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: dominating the field and the hurdles. So much good stuff.

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: And of course they kicked it off talking about Team

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: USA yesterday. So let's get into it. I want to

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: talk hoops. What a game, task, Melice. Team USA trailed

35
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: by as many as seventeen points in the semi final

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: against Serbia. Down thirteen heading into the fourth quarter, but

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: thanks to American heroes Joel Embiid, Steph Curry, Lebron James,

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant, they pulled off the thrilling comeback to

39
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: advance to the gold medal game. Task. I feel like

40
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: I could talk for ninety straight minutes about this game. Yeah,

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: but I want to hear what you have to say

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: as well.

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: Well. I mean we can go four hours on this podcast.

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: You could still talk about it for ninety minutes if

45
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: you want. There's just so many reasons that this was amazing.

46
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal. I think when this all started, I

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: wanted to see Lebron, Steph and Kevin Durant, who I

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: think are the three greatest NBA players to start their

49
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: careers in the two thousands, or you can call them

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: the best players of the two thousands. I know there's

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: other players that started their career in the nineties and

52
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: then carried it over two thousands, like Kobe Duncan in Shack,

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: but these are the three that we have talked about

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: the most on the show, that's for sure. I didn't

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: go back and count the words, but these are the

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: three greats, and this is probably the last time we're

57
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: going to see them play. And then they had in

58
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: a tournament like this together, and then they had this

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: phenomenal game where we were waiting for a Steph game

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: and he comes out and he hits that first shot

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: and he misses the second. That doesn't matter. He keeps

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: shooting and he just bury shot after shot for shot

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: for this team. Seventeen of USA's twenty three in the

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: first quarter all him, but Serbia takes the lead that's

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: seventeen big point lead. Because this was the best game

66
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: that they've played in the tournament by far for me,

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: watching guys like Jokic who people question their defense make

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: a pick pocket. He picked Anthony Edwards trying to make

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: that pocket pass, like Jokic was just ready and they

70
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: were just so good and USA couldn't take the lead

71
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: until Steph rattled that ball home. That was a rattler.

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: That these are the type of rims that just rattle

73
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: are so loud. Yeah, they are. That was two twenty

74
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: left in the fourth quarter, So there was that was

75
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: a long span like three quarters that fourth quarter where

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: USA just played incredible defense, was ready to take it over,

77
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: and they did, starting with Steph and then Lebron and

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: had to make and then Curry with that steal from

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: bogdwn Bogdanovic. Oh tough last few minutes for bogdan and

80
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: then Lebron went for it. He went forward as well.

81
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: He's trying to match Steph that three point shot with

82
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: about Yeah. I think it was like a minute twenty

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: left or sixteen left on the shock lock, but he said,

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: I'm just doing it and he missed that one. But

85
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: then you know, Durant saying, everybody out of the way, Joelle,

86
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: do not come up here for that pick and to

87
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: see him finish a shot. To me, those three guys

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: having this great game, this great finish, those great photos

89
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: of them all together, like you know, like Kobe and Lebron,

90
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm I'm already saying, Kobe, Curry and Lebron played four

91
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: straight finals against each other. They had to have been rivals,

92
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: but they've made amends. And them yelling at each other

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: like that was that was incredible. That's why the Olympics

94
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: are so great for so many reasons, like you can't

95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: talk trash to your teammates, you can't talk trash to

96
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: people wearing the same uniform as you with the same country.

97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the same thing goes for Serbia. It was

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: a great performance by them, the Serbian fans singing the

99
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: national anthem. It was just it and you heard Durant

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: talk about it after the game. This is why the

101
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Olympics are so good. It's just so fun everybody dancing.

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: There is less trash talking games, which I kind of like,

103
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: you know, here's a great photo. We're showing it to

104
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: you here on our YouTube stream. Like these are the guys.

105
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: These brought it all together. It was a special special

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: day for the USA.

107
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was so awesome. As soon as the game

108
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: was over, seeing Lebron and Curry and KD celebrating all together,

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: You're exactly right task they're the three best players of

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: their generation. This is obviously Steph Curry's first real Olympics moment,

111
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: so to see him come through in the clutch and

112
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: in the not clutch, Like the only reason this was

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: a game is cause Steph Curry kept him in at

114
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: twenty points in the first half. He ended up with

115
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: thirty six, had nine threes and amazingly, the one that

116
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: finally put the US ahead in the fourth quarter, that

117
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the one you're talking about that rattled around. I think

118
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: that's the only time he touched the rim, shooting from

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: three from deep, and that one was so dramatic the

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: way it finally went down. Got a great koboom from

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Noah Eagle, who should get a gold medal for the

122
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: way he called this game. He was in his bag

123
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: for this one. But that was awesome. We were watching

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: on playback and honestly, some of the young guys seemed

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: like young guys through the first three quarters task. Anthony

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: Edwards had a bit of a deer in the headlights

127
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: kind of vibe. I thought Drew Holliday didn't really want

128
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: to shoot. Derek White was kind of out of it.

129
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: Filed a three point shooter right at the end of

130
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: the third quarter. So we're going into the fourth and

131
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: we're just saying, you gotta be thirty years or older

132
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: to play in this fourth quarter. And that's basically what

133
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr did because it was lebron kd and Curry.

134
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: Of course, then you got Joel Embiid, who is I

135
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: think thirty years old. He played the majority of the

136
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: fourth quarter as well. At one point scored seventh straight

137
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: for the US to get them back within two in

138
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: this game. He was driving me crazy with the defensive rebounding,

139
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: but it's all good. Anthony Davis got a little taste

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: as well. I think he's thirty one. And then Devin

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Booker played quite a bit in the fourth quarter. But

142
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: that guy wishes he was at least thirty years old.

143
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: He wishes he was around for the nineties. And old

144
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Soul made a huge three pointer. I thought he was

145
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: doing a better job sticking to his defensive assignment. Than

146
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday even was great stuff from Booker, but yeah,

147
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Embiid scores the seventh straight. I thought he was a

148
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: monster screening as well on the Curry three that put

149
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: him ahead. It's an Embiid screen. Kevin Durant had a

150
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a jumper as well that came off

151
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: of an Embid handoff. He was making the right plays.

152
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't grab a board, but he was making the right

153
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: plays every single time offensively. That was awesome. And then

154
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: the last thirteen points come from Lebron, KD and Steph

155
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: and they're all doing it their own way. Steph hitting

156
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: the three, Lebron going coast to coast for the fancy

157
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: reverse layup left hand side, but shoots it right handed

158
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: over his head. That was awesome. And then of course

159
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant the cross, the sauce, the splash, another great

160
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: call from Noah Eagle. But it was like those three

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: guys who if we've been watching their careers for with

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Lebron a couple of decades at this point, Steph and

163
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: KD more like a decade and a half, doing what

164
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: they do best when their team absolutely needed it. They said,

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: we're not losing this game. They made plays offensively, and

166
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: the defense in the fourth quarter for the US went

167
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: to another level. They were very sloppy. I thought through

168
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: the first three quarters, so many wide open threes for Serbia,

169
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: too much gambling. But Lebron started guarding you kitch in

170
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, allowed Embiid be the helper, and they

171
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: overplayed stuff taking away the threes. Serbia still got some

172
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: open looks, couldn't knock them down. Fifteen threes through the

173
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: first three quarters, five in each of the quarters, none

174
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth. They needed every single bit of the offense,

175
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: they needed every single bit of the defense in this one.

176
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: So I don't know proud moments. Seeing those dudes celebrate

177
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the game I thought was so awesome.

178
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: I want to see like paintings in museums of that moment,

179
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: just seeing the elation from that. But it was awesome.

180
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: It seemed like those five guys that played the fourth

181
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: quarter were completely locked in. They were playing in a

182
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: flow state together. Kevin Durant said afterwards, we didn't run

183
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: any plays. We were just freelancing out there, but it

184
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: looked like they knew exactly where everybody needed to be

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: to be their best, which was kind of surprising because

186
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think we've seen that sort of chemistry

187
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: and continuity throughout these Olympics. But when they needed at

188
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: the most, those ten minutes in the fourth quarter, they

189
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: found it.

190
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, those ten minutes were everything that they needed. Defensively,

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: although as you said about Joel Embiid and his defensive rebounding,

192
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: which was lacking. He could give it all on the

193
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: offensive end as he was as he was doing, but

194
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: on the defensive end he was he was taking a

195
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: little bit of a break in terms of just throwing

196
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: his body in front of everybody like Milatin of Serbia.

197
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Those offensive rebounds, he had four offensive rebounds. He only

198
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: played twelve minutes, and that was the thing that huge,

199
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: like you mentioned about, Yeah, the American team, they just said, okay,

200
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: old guys, you got to do it. They finally played

201
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: like Steph and Lebron heavy minutes and Durant was there

202
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: to help out. To be that third wheel. Is so

203
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: weird watching Durant be sort of the third wheel, the

204
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: third guy on a basketball team. But I'm sure Mike

205
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Boonholzer in Phoenix has taken some damn notes, like maybe

206
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant should be, you know, pushed up in the

207
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: pecking order a little bit more, like him and Booker

208
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: can work together. Like Booker was doing a great job

209
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: as just being the fifth guy playing very very good defense,

210
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: like this is the twenty one playoffs where he went

211
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals. He's really good at that, and

212
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: just being the guy that stepped aside and let the

213
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: four guys because you know, I didn't mention MB right

214
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: right off the top when it gave my little spiel,

215
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: because you know, it's the other three guys who've been

216
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: the best, you know, for such a long time. But

217
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: but it's easy to forget that MB's a damn MVP

218
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: in this league. So they just have so much talent.

219
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: But Serbia able to able to take a seventeen point

220
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: lead until the fourth until the US really picked it

221
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: up defensively, like Durant was guarding full court at times,

222
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: guarding other guards. That was freaking awesome. So just just

223
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: a fun experience here and obviously an extremely important game

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: where Serbia decided to play their best as I said,

225
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: like Jokic blocking the shot. Yeah, they were just ready

226
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: to go from the get go, and so that's why

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: they got up so big and they're you know, obviously

228
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: the US timed it perfectly where Curry had his game

229
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: like right here, right now, he was needed, they were,

230
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: They could have been down way more, but Curry just

231
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: started hitting from the get go. Those nine threes held

232
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: him in this game until they finally were able to

233
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: put it together. And yeah, and Steve Kerr had to

234
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: make some calls like yeah, Anthony Edwards a couple couple

235
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: bad turnovers and taking gambles on the defensive end. Had

236
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: to sit, he had to sit. But Booker's been so

237
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: good as that complimentary guy, it was a pretty easy decision.

238
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: But MBID, yeah, Embiid also, you know, as I said,

239
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: Curry's best game. Embiid also has just peaked the last

240
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: couple of games too. So it's yeah, and all these

241
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: m vps just playing like vps.

242
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there was so much going on. Five MVPs

243
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: on the court for the fourth quarter here with you know,

244
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: four on the US team and then Jokic as well.

245
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: But like, it took me until after the game was

246
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: over and I finally went and looked at the box

247
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: score to realize Lebron had a triple double. Only guy

248
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: to ever have multiple triple doubles in the Olympics. He

249
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mentioned he was guarding Jokic, but it

250
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: really you heard it from the USA players afterwards. They

251
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: were given so much credit to Curry for keeping him

252
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: in the game. Obviously, kept him attached was huge. In

253
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter, they had that three from the left corner,

254
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I suppose right in front of the USA bench. Those

255
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: guys were going insane. You would have thought this was

256
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a twenty five point blowout the way that

257
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: was going. But yeah, Serbia, they really brought it in

258
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: this one. I kind of feel like they were ropidoping

259
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: a little bit tass, you know, like they were okay

260
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: through the group stages, they had their awesome comeback against Australia,

261
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: and then they were clearly saving their best for this

262
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: game because they were fired up. You got Bogdan Bogdanovitch

263
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: talking trash ta mellow, you got the Serbian head coach

264
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: getting a technical on a potential travel from Joel Embiid

265
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: if I'm being quite honest, and then yokich Man. Everybody

266
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: says this guy doesn't care about basketball, Well, he definitely

267
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: cares about international basketball because he was so fiery in

268
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: this one. They understood the stakes. The US understood the stakes.

269
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, people are saying that was the gold medal game.

270
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: We'll see France is gonna be tough to beat, obviously,

271
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: but it felt like we were watching a golden medal game.

272
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Pop yourself in here, Ash, because I got a great

273
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: comment here from Yeash. Actually, he says, as a viewer,

274
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: I threw in the towel, but that's why I end

275
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: up pro God bless lebron Man. Were you nervous at all, Eshua?

276
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: Nervous ain't even the word, I don't think.

277
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: Man.

278
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: We were on the couch screaming at the TV heart boom,

279
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: boom boom, just going crazy. Oh my gosh, I've never

280
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: been so nervous in my life for a basketball game.

281
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: It was crazy. I was telling everybody in the house.

282
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: You had people over here watching a game. I'm like, guys,

283
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 3: we haven't lost in twenty years, and now we're about to.

284
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: My cousin goes, this is like the Avengers. We got

285
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: the Avengers and this is standos. He's about to snap,

286
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: and I was like, we gotta get to the Gauntlet.

287
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: We gotta get there. Thank God for Steph Curry though,

288
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: setting it up. There we go look at the flag.

289
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: Thank God for Steph Curry setting it up. I thought,

290
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: you know, this is the performance that I thought that

291
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray was gonna have for Canada. Maybe bouncing back

292
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: just the way Steph Curry has played throughout the tournament.

293
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: Not super great. But then it's like, oh yeah, I'm

294
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: Steph Curry comes out hits all the shots. It's just

295
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 3: beautiful frustration that we all had watching the game yesterday

296
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: at Embiid right like he's doing everything right on the

297
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: offensive end. He's also keeping us a float throughout the way.

298
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: You just give it to him in the post and

299
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: he's going to work on Yo Kich, the matchup that

300
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: we always want to see the NBA, and he's always ducking.

301
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: But then on the other side, you just see the

302
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: ball come off the rim and Embiid's just looking at it.

303
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: I don't know he was saving it for offense. He

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: had like the little mid range jumper. He had an

305
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and one layup, maybe it was on mil teen off,

306
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was. And then the fade

307
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: away over Yokic that was that was massive, got us

308
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: within two points. US finally dropped my first US there.

309
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: But oh, it felt good to say it because I've

310
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: I've just been yelling about this ever since. If I'm Serbia,

311
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: a couple of regrets I have. Number One, you don't

312
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: talk trash to Carmelo Anthony, an American hero sitting there

313
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: court side that got the USA back of the game.

314
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Lebron said, no, that's my friend. Don't be mean to

315
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: my friend. Number two, I thought it was an error

316
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: from the Serbian coach to go away from Avramovic for

317
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: Mitic in the fourth quarter. Micic he was struggling a

318
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: little bit. I think he finished three for thirteen. I

319
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: know one of his makes was a banked in three,

320
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: so maybe not on purpose. Another one was a floater

321
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: where he stepped through from about eighteen feet, junked it

322
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: up and had bounced a billion times and dropped through.

323
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: If Ramovich, to me, is such a pest defensively, he

324
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: would have been helpful on Steph I think. And also

325
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: he is one of the better put your head down

326
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: and get to the hoop kind of guys. Uh for Serbia.

327
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: So those are a couple of potential places that could

328
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: have gone the other way. But they also had some

329
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: wide open looks in the fourth you know, there were

330
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: still a couple of US miscommunications. Uh, they just couldn't

331
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: get it to drop, and the USA came out unscathed. Somehow.

332
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: I gotta get myself a DVD of this game because

333
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: I've watched the highlights so many times and it doesn't

334
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: do it justice. I had to watch the Telemundo highlights

335
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: yesterday as soon as the game was over. It's like, girls,

336
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: you gotta come down here.

337
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: And see this.

338
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm like flipping through a million different YouTube channels. They

339
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: don't have it on Peacock yet, but Telemundo updated theirs.

340
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: So it was fun to see the Estados unidos falling

341
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: out yesterday. That was That was an awesome game, very

342
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: very fun. I don't know what else you got here, Tessy.

343
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the the painful moments for Serbia as they

344
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: tried to finish it off was bogged and set up

345
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: Steph with that turnover. It's only a minute forty left

346
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: where he did that. And then they came down the

347
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: other way and Bogdan went into the back court for

348
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: that weird violation. That was a backcourt violation with a

349
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: minute thirty and you could see how hurt Bogdan was

350
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: after the game, just facing his hands because those plays

351
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: were really key. Now he was he was bringing it.

352
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: I'm fine with him pointing to his head. I guess

353
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: he's doing like the Dylan Brooks thing where he's finding

354
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: a fan in the audience. And I guess the guy

355
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: was Carmelo on this one like he was Joss. He

356
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: was awesome to turn it around. I know all that.

357
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: And one he had in the fourth corner right he

358
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: shot it sideways over his head. Yeah, drawing a fallen Embiid.

359
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: What a shot.

360
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they had great guys. I do agree that

361
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: the michich for that first banker, Yeah, he banked home

362
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: the three. It was weird to see Abramovich. It was awesome.

363
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: Who was just to pest through the first four games

364
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: of this tournament, not to be playing at the end.

365
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: I guess that was the thing for them. But also

366
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: incredible defense from this American team that that waited a

367
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: little long to play two hard defense. I guess. I

368
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: guess it was fine in the end.

369
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, they went down Touretto mode. They said too soon.

370
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you win by four points or

371
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: forty four points winnings winning. They just saved it for

372
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: the final kick there.

373
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 4: That was.

374
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: That was pretty special. Another play that was pretty interesting

375
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: I thought was the six point possession that the USA got.

376
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant hits a three from the right wing and

377
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Anthony Davis gets run over by Jokic.

378
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: Ad falls basically into Katie's legs. Could have been scary.

379
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: We've seen Kad go down with like that exact kind

380
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: of injuries several times. But apparently the fever rule is

381
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: different with regards to when the foul happens, because I

382
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be probably a d goes

383
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: to the line to shoot one free throw or something

384
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: like that too. Instead, team USA gets the ball side out,

385
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: Devin Booker hits a three from the top of the key.

386
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I think that one took it from like a thirteen

387
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: point game to a seven point game just like that.

388
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: That was huge. But man, yeah, there were some stressful moments.

389
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: Ash I had sweaty palms, Like in the in the

390
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: third quarter of USA gets it down to seven, it

391
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: looks like they're on a run, and then instantly back

392
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: up to double digits for Serbia. Just felt like they

393
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: kept getting closer and closer and closer. But luckily they

394
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: weren't playing a thirty five minute game. You know, they

395
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: played the full forty minutes and this one, and that

396
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: was just enough for Team USA. The cross, the sauce,

397
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: the splash and saying it nonsp.

398
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: We just had. We had all these worries.

399
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: I've been asking a lot on this show, like what's

400
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: gonna happen when the game is closed, Who's gonna get

401
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: the ball, who's gonna make the plays? And it just

402
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 3: so happened to be our Big three right Like you

403
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: guys alluded to it earlier. The bench was shook, Anthony Edwards,

404
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: all of them coming off the bench just didn't look

405
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: like they were ready. They were like, oh, we're we're

406
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 3: losing the game right now, Like we don't team We're

407
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: not supposed to be down at this time in the game.

408
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 3: It just kind of felt like that, and I'm just

409
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: I'm just so happy that we had those three to

410
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: put it away.

411
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: I could.

412
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: I could not be happier.

413
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially Sad, I love those guys.

414
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be their last Olympics together

415
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: for those Big three, because they're going to be super

416
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: old and I know Lebron's playing with a gray beard

417
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: right now, but he'd be forty three in the next Olympics,

418
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Like that's going to be full on gray uh. And

419
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: this is awesome for Steph obviously his first Olympics to

420
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: be doing thirty six points as a thirty six year old.

421
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: It's probably his last one too, I imagine unless he

422
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: plays when he's forty I guess, and Kad would be

423
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: thirty nine. But all those three together, you got to

424
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: assume that it's their last Olympics together. But it's fun.

425
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: It's it's also fun learning a new Fever rule each

426
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: game because even it happened. It happened in France Germany

427
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: the game before when somebody ended up hitting a shot

428
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: after the whistle, like literally you heard the whistle go

429
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: and you heard it after the when they rolled the replay,

430
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 2: but they still counted it for whatever reason. I mean,

431
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: it's a weird one. Everybody's trying to figure it out,

432
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: like Eagles trying to figure it out. He knows everything, obviously,

433
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: Wades trying to figure it out. Everybody was still doesn't

434
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: know waves played in the Olympics, and it's still hard

435
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: to figure it all up, but America did and that's

436
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: why they were going to the gold medal game. It's

437
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: it's easy to think though that, as you said, Trade,

438
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: that that was the gold medal game.

439
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: It really well, the stakes of it certainly felt like

440
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: they were playing, uh for a championship. And you're right,

441
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: this might be the end of a lebron kd and

442
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Steph playing five on five basketball together. I say, send

443
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: those three and Shimmer for Debt to La to play

444
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: three x three. All they got to do is qualify.

445
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, they got us play in a couple of

446
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: tournaments as we get closer to the Olympics, so maybe

447
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: they retire from the NBA life and just decide to

448
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: dominate three x three.

449
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: So we have the redeemed team of three x three.

450
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: I like it. I'm here for it. I'm here for it.

451
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: Man.

452
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: That's perfect.

453
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: Oh Man, fun at times, fun times for the team

454
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: USA squad. Yesterday, Let's talk about the other game, which

455
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: was also awesome, one of the best games in the tournament.

456
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: France keeps it rolling in the knockout round. They bullied

457
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Germany seventy three sixty nine. They're going to the Golden

458
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: Medal game. Gershan Yabusele the Cabousele himself seventeen and seven,

459
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: Matias Lsore ten and four, and Isaiah Cordinier went for

460
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: sixteen in this one tasks really fun game, really fun

461
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: way to start off our day basketball. What are your

462
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: takeaways from France Germany?

463
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you start mentioning those those names on the French team,

464
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: you could just keep on going. How they had guys

465
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: perform in each role, like Franknilakeina didn't hit a shot

466
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 2: until the fourth when he hit two big ones. They

467
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: had eleven guys play really really key minutes and that's

468
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: why they could go so hard because it's sort of

469
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 2: like hockey shifts out there, like just go out and

470
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: play incredible defense and we can switch you out. And

471
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: that's what they did. This German team started so hot

472
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: that Franz Wagner three, you know that low form, he

473
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: starts so low and so much in front of him,

474
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: but he was able to bury that big three and

475
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: was just super super pump and was super awesome going

476
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: at Victor Wembinyama like he looks, he looks like a pro.

477
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: When he gets past Wemby, he puts on his left

478
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: hand to stay away from Wemby and then get him

479
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: on his shoulder and then he went by Gobert like

480
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 2: Franz was looking great, but he got super quiet after

481
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: that first quarter, and the French team, obviously back by

482
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: their fans, got louder and louder and louder and louder,

483
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: and it is kind of good for France and how

484
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: they end up winning, because otherwise there would be a

485
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: ton of talk about Victor wembin Yama having a poorer

486
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: shooting like he was doing so many good things like

487
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: denying that Allu pass to Tye. What a freaking play

488
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: that was, looking like Jannis in and DeAndre Aton in

489
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: the in the finals in twenty one like that. Those

490
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: are just really really cool plays. But he did have

491
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: a poor shooting night, but I love it how he

492
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: just kept shooting. He missed three after three, after three,

493
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: after three, and then he was able to hit one

494
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: and then ended up hitting you know four seventeen overall

495
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: and just one of eight from three, but that three

496
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: was big. And they just had so many guys, yeah,

497
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: up against a German team with so many guys off

498
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: the bench that were just so damn good. Wiler Bab

499
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: the Bonga another Wagner Mouritz they call him and timon

500
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: even two. I mean, they were just so fun to watch.

501
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: So this was, yeah, incredible game. It is thisappointing. I

502
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: thought Shruder would be the guy to to take Germany

503
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: over the top, and he just wasn't quite himself in

504
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: this game. But luckily for them, they just had so

505
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: many guys that didn't matter how light, how bright the

506
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: lights were. They kept a great game all the weight

507
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: towards the finish, when France was good enough and they're

508
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 2: playing their peak ball at a good time for them.

509
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: Obviously France was good enough, but I think if this

510
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: is a forty two minute game, it might have gone

511
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: the way of Germany. They seemed to have the momentum

512
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: at the end. I felt like Dwayne Wade was begging

513
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: for anybody on either team to hit a clutch three,

514
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: because every time somebody should be like ooh. Germany did

515
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: start getting hot from three late in the fourth quarter,

516
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: and it might have had a chance. I don't remember

517
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: what the score was. When Franz went for the rebound,

518
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: gets the rebound on the defensive end about nine seconds left,

519
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: but the way he went flying in made contact with

520
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: somebody on the box out when he came down to

521
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: the floor. He just couldn't get his feet under him

522
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: to be able to actually attack on the other end.

523
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Too bad. It would have been nice if Germany could

524
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: have called a timeout at that point, or you know,

525
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: be able to balance himself and get a shot up

526
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: because they were getting hot at the right time, which

527
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, I guess it was a three point game.

528
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: They would have had to hit a three. Thanks Ash

529
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: for that one, but unfortunately Franz fell over. Franz was good,

530
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: but you know, ten points four of ten shooting shreoter

531
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. Eighteen points on six of

532
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: eighteen shooting like they were productive, they weren't necessarily efficient

533
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: and that was surprising to me because I didn't think

534
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: that Germany was a team that would be affected with

535
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the physicality that France brings in quite the same way

536
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: that Canada was. You know, Canada has played together for

537
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: a couple of seasons. Obviously, Murray is a new addition,

538
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: but they are a younger set of teams. The German

539
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: team is pretty old, pretty experienced. I mean, outside of

540
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: Franz and Mo, everybody else is pretty much a veteran

541
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: and I just thought that they would be able to

542
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: withstand the French crowd, the French physicality, the guys that

543
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: they're able to throw in with u Yabusele and Lasore.

544
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: But apparently playing in front of the Parisian fans just

545
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: takes these guys to the next level because they are

546
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: so locked in. And I kind of feel like there

547
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: are two teams, like two styles of teams that really

548
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: get a fan base going. One of them would be

549
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: like a small ball team, similar to the Warriors. They

550
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: start hitting a bunch of threes, everybody's going crazy every

551
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: time a shot goes in. But maybe even more so

552
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: when you've got big, beefy dudes throwing their bodies around.

553
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: You saw both Yabusele and Lasor get post ups on

554
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 1: the left block, body their defenders, put them in the basket,

555
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: score over the top, and then hit the two small

556
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: I think those scrappy, beefy teams can almost get the

557
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: fans going more because you're like, yeah, not only are

558
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: we playing basketball, we're also delivering a punishment out here.

559
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch and man, honestly, ever since they

560
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: made the Gobert adjustment, it's a completely different French team.

561
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: He played five minutes in the first half of this one,

562
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: came off the bench, just like he did in their

563
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: opening or in their first knockout round game win against

564
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: the Canadians. It seems to be working. I don't know

565
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: if things will change for the US game, but what

566
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: France has going right now is pretty impressive.

567
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, with their BF guys. As you said, those guys

568
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: obviously got their workout in, got their lift in, and

569
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: we're ready to fight. It also benefits the French team

570
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: that because they played Germany in the last game of

571
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: the round robin, the group tournament, and Germany embarrassed them.

572
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: They really got They were way more physical, so they

573
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: have that sort of you know, it happens in lots

574
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: of playoff series where you lose one game, you come

575
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: back and you win the second game. So there's that

576
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: you have that revenge in your brain. But also just

577
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: the level of play from these French guys defensively and

578
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 2: not just physically, like that play where France was shooting

579
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: a free throw and they designed a pass for Dennis

580
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: Shrewder just to get that outlet pass where he just

581
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: he took off as soon as the ball went through

582
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: the free through the net he took off. They had

583
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: this play to set him up and it was a

584
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: great play, and I thought Shrewder was going to lay

585
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: it in and I don't think he thought there was

586
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: any possibility of Nikola Batoum, who was covering him for

587
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: a chase down block. So that's why he took a

588
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: little bit extra time, like he should have been able

589
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: to put on the class. But what a frickin chase

590
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: down block by Batoum. So he was staying with Shrewder

591
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: a lot. He was doing a very very good job.

592
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: So they just had guys, you know, whether they're the

593
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: big guys grabbing the boards and lessore or a Cordonnier.

594
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean Isaiah, that is just this guy. Yeah, he

595
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: comes in like he was there, He was there Fourgnier.

596
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: I mean he's their modern day Fournier. I guess they're

597
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: transitioning to. Like this guy was just making huge shot

598
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: after a huge shot for sixteen points for him to

599
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: go with us LA seventeen. Like they didn't need Wemby

600
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 2: to score more than the eleven that he scored. They

601
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: just had so many guys producing over and over and

602
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: over again. So that was that was perfect chemistry. For

603
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: these dudes. What a team obviously, And yeah, the go

604
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: Beart thing is is super interesting and that you put

605
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: in Wemby and you have, you know, a lot more

606
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: room on the floor because Wemby was had to and

607
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: did keep on shooting those threes that he was missing,

608
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: so you have more space and you have brought in

609
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: instead of Gobert. Just this really aggressive defensive team on

610
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: the perimeters. So even though Golbert is showing this year

611
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: that he can guard on the perimeter unless it's Luca

612
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, but like that is what he can do.

613
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, the combo of of Wemby and him didn't work,

614
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: and so the town slash Gobert slash Red thing is

615
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: interesting and that when it comes to the Wolves next

616
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: year too. But yeah, they just had guys to fill

617
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: in obviously, so that was fun.

618
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: The Weeby thing is interesting because he hasn't been very

619
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: efficient scoring. He seems a little out of sorts. I

620
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: feel offensively like he gets some shots up, he gets

621
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: good looks from three especially, but inside it's kind of

622
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: an adventure. But I think he could be Ben Wallace

623
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: mode in these FOBA games and it would be fine.

624
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: He could score zero points. The effect he has defensively

625
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: is huge for France. It allows all of their perimeter

626
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: guys to be able to play up on their marks

627
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: because you know Wemby's gonna be locking it down inside,

628
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: and then his height on the offensive end, just the

629
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: fact that he draws people in opens up lanes for

630
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: everybody else. So I think France has just kind of

631
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: found out in this metal or in the knockout round,

632
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: that we don't need both Wemby and Gobert on the

633
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: court together to still have a good defense. They held

634
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Germany to sixty nine points, and Germany has been cooking

635
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: in this tournament. They have been an offensive machine up

636
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: until this game, but playing just Wemby at the five

637
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: allows them to get more offense on the court as

638
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: well and Coordinay, you're right, this guy has hit every

639
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: big shot that the French team has needed. Fournier was

640
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: great against Canada. I hit some shots in this one

641
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: as well. It's just been fun to watch the way

642
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: they have put this together and you know, kind of

643
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: morph themselves into a badass team in the knockout round,

644
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: surprising everybody because that last game they played in the

645
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: group stage against Germany. They look like a team that

646
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: was beat but they're too proud for that. Impressive stuff

647
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: from France sets us up for the gold medal game

648
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I think it's gonna be three thirty pm Eastern.

649
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: We do have a bronze medal game ahead of that task.

650
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a five am tip for Serbia, rus

651
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: and Germany. Yeah, you're gonna be up for that one, you.

652
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: Know, I did think about it. That's as that is tomorrow.

653
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: It's possible. I'm getting a little older, I am waking

654
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: up earlier and earlier and earlier. It's legitimately possible. I

655
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: will be potentially.

656
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: I just can't.

657
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: I can't commit quite yet, but I think I think

658
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: it'll happen naturally because I'm just jack for for these teams.

659
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: Like it'll be fun like watching Mauritz Wagner and now

660
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: I got to call Maritz because he's seen Maritz on

661
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: his jersey, Yeah, which is good. The impressive part was

662
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: Wagner always gets under people's skit always, but it seemed

663
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: like when he was banging with le sort like he

664
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 2: had to even just say, all right, I've met my

665
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: match here. I mean, he did respect him he respected,

666
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: He respected the heck out of him. So yeah, five am,

667
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 2: let's do it. I'll do it now. I'll be up.

668
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean not that anybody here listening has to be

669
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: up with me, but I'll be ready. I'll be ready

670
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: for this game because Number one, I'm ready for some

671
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: more reats. Number two, why doesn't Maurite more ritz? I

672
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: guess you'd call it like it's pronounced Maurites, But why

673
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: doesn't he have a Ritz Crackers sponsorship he's got he should.

674
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: It's spelled mo writz like why not?

675
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: I guess it's just because he's known too much as

676
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: Moe here in the United States. He's not putting on

677
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: the Ritz here in the US of A. But maybe

678
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: if he did, he get that Cracker money that actually

679
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: lines up well with the way the guy looks. But yeah,

680
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: five am, I will. I'll commit to an accidental watch

681
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: as well, because I'm not intentionally getting up for a

682
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: five am start, but if I accidentally do, hey see

683
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: what's going on. As for the three thirty PM game,

684
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: I will be one hundred percent locked in for that

685
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: one USA vers France task. What's one thing to watch

686
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: for in the gold medal game?

687
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: For you, Yes, a great question. I do want to

688
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: see Embiid against Wemby, just how that that matchup plays out,

689
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: because Embiid was taking some his his chill pill in

690
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: the in the fourth quarter and Miltinoff got three big

691
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: offensive rebounds, huge offensive rebounds for the Serbian team. But

692
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if that happens with Wenby. Where's Wenby

693
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: going to be and will he make Mbid work on

694
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 2: the defensive end, whether it be scoring, because as you said,

695
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: like he he doesn't need to shoot, but he's gonna

696
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: keep shooting those three. So where's Embid going to play him?

697
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: And then when the ball goes up, whoever shoots it,

698
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 2: what's going to be happening as far as rebounds go,

699
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: because you know that guy is huge and he should

700
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: be able to grab whatever rebounds he wants. That's why

701
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: he's blocking as many shots as he wants. He had

702
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: three blocks in the semi finals.

703
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: He wots a shrewder three pointer with two hands.

704
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they think.

705
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: I've never seen that. I think he got it like

706
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: like a little one to two action.

707
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: I don't think you touched it with the second one.

708
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: But like they called Dwayne Wade a liar test. Yeah,

709
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 2: he asked. I know, he asked, and I thought, okay, man,

710
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: Wade knows. Wade knows. Then they showed the replay it

711
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: was all all right, fingies but like like the tips

712
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: of his fingers, that's that's how high the ball was shot.

713
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: So anyway, yeah, we'll see if he has a two

714
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: hand block. I mean, maybe he's watching volleyball. I don't know,

715
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: but he was like, we need, uh, we need to

716
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: see him. Obviously, France has a chance to keep playing

717
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: no matter what and to keep shooting no matter what.

718
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: And that's why Popovic is in the building. He is

719
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: the same. He is of that mentality, like we need

720
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: you out there shooting. That's what he used to say

721
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 2: to Matt Bonner. That's what he like, if you don't shoot,

722
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 2: we need to yank you because you're not providing that space.

723
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: So he has to continue to shoot. And yeah, just

724
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: that that matchup. I am interested to see the big

725
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: versus big and then you know, all these guys as

726
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: we've talked about, whether it's Gershon Yabusale or whether it's

727
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: battis La, sort that physical matchup, because America did take

728
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of time to turn on their defense

729
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: in the semifinals, and so France is gonna bring it,

730
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 2: and so there I wonder if the US will u

731
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: we'll match that physicality France had, because I think they

732
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 2: are in general a little bit more of a physical

733
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: team than the Serbian team. So interested in all that.

734
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you nailed it for me. It's all about matching

735
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: the physicality of le Frere Bosch, the Bash brothers, Yabusele

736
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: and Lasort. USA was super physical, I thought in the

737
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the game against Serbia. The first three

738
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: quarters it seemed to be a little bit more finesse mode,

739
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: trying to force turnovers and get out and run the

740
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: way that team USA usually likes to play. They're gonna

741
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: need four quarters of physicality and defensive rebounding from everybody, because,

742
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: like I mean, Yabusele, he ain't Lebron James, but he's

743
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: got the size to match up with Lebron James. You know,

744
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: they're both two hundred and seventy pounds. La Sort is

745
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: a load to handle down low on the block. They

746
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: rebound and as we saw with Serbia, that's a place

747
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: you can get going against USA hitting the offensive glass.

748
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: So that's huge I wonder if we're gonna see Rudy

749
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: Gobert back in the rotation for France here, because you

750
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: mentioned Wemby versus Embiid, and b put seventy and eighteen

751
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: on Wemby the one time they matched up in the

752
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: NBA season this year. Obviously things are different in the

753
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: NBA and FOBA. Things are different between the San Antonio

754
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: Spurs and the French national team. But Embiid did well

755
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: against Wemby, and it wouldn't be surprising to me to

756
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: see Kole Ay go back to go Bear saying, hey man,

757
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: just like the US needed Embiid against Jokic, we need

758
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: you against Embiid. Just a big, solid defender out there.

759
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's a big one. How about X factors, Tassi,

760
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: anybody you think could swing this game either way.

761
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good call, just on the coach making

762
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: a change, because France is totally comfortable, the players are

763
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: totally comfortable in this Olympic scene to be starting or not.

764
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 2: It happens. Foraging every game with the Albasi was awesome

765
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: for them as a starter, but then he went to

766
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: the band and so that could happen. And so yeah,

767
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: as as you just asked about, the X factors are

768
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: going to be freaking important, and there's just so many

769
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: on the French team now. I do like that they're

770
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: going a little bit older and sitting out BC a

771
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: little bit. But Cordigner is the most important Frenchman for me,

772
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: because Fournier just feels like it's coming uh to the

773
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 2: end unfortunately for him. Like he's just hasn't been hot.

774
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: It's it's difficult to see Wemby get hot, and and

775
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: I know people are questioning, well, the guy can't hit

776
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: a shot. And I know our man Ziggy here has

777
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: been such a long fan, longtime fan of the show

778
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 2: and he's in the stream team saying quote, I'm waiting

779
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: to be completely sold on Wemby. You can only dominate

780
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: so much being that thin defensive player of the year

781
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: perennial though, well, like his offense is still awesome, but

782
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 2: I do want to bring up that he did play.

783
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: A lot of he hasn't been he has not been

784
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: awesome on offense.

785
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no no, he has not no. No. I

786
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: just mean in general, like, yeah, the guy game and

787
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: I think he's just he's going to be a really

788
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: good offensive player no matter what. And so I just

789
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 2: want to bring up this is the first time in

790
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: his career where he's ever played seventy games of a

791
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: regular season and then had to go into a tournament

792
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: and play a point a lot. And so I ain't

793
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: going back and looking at the EuroLeague numbers with the

794
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: seventy two that he played for the Mets the Metropolitans,

795
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: but I like they play far less and I think

796
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: I think he may just be a little worn down.

797
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 2: I know that's just a generalization, but watching him play

798
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 2: for San Antonio, like the guy's got such good game,

799
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: and so I just think, like the offense has to

800
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 2: come from Cordigner. They do get such great performances from

801
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 2: so many guys defensively, but he has to keep doing it.

802
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: He has to keep being so good. Those are the key,

803
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: key moments, like Fournier tries, tries for those key shots.

804
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 2: But it's the guy. It's the guy with the similar

805
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: last name in Cordignier. As they said on the broadcast,

806
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: it's hard to say Foreigner and Cordonnier at the same time,

807
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: but Cordiger is their guy that has to have key shots.

808
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: For me, yeah, I totally agree Cordinier is the X

809
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: factor for France. I saw John Hollinger tweet yesterday that

810
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: Cordonnier play. I think he plays in the Italian League.

811
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: He had three games all seasons scoring eighteen or more points,

812
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: but in the knockout round he's been going for twenty

813
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: five and eighteen and he has just had the answer

814
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: as a bailout guy for them. As for the US

815
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: potential X factor, I think BAM and AD should be

816
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: X factors here. I don't know if that necessarily fits

817
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: their style, but the US bench has in general been

818
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: a strength for them. Like we said, they weren't very

819
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: good against Serbia, but I think you're gonna need the brawn,

820
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: specifically of BAM to guard a guy like Lasour, So

821
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: I think BAM will get a chance on him. I

822
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: think AD probably will as well. And those are big

823
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: matchups for those guys stand out of foul trouble and

824
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: being able to keep him off the block, keep them

825
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: off the glass. Ash, come on in here, man, we

826
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: got to talk about predictions for USA versus France. You

827
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: can make it quick if you want to. Who you

828
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: taking Ash.

829
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if I should make a prediction because

830
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: every prediction I made on this show this week has

831
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 3: been wrong. But yeah, I mean, I gotta go with

832
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 3: the USA. Please, guys, don't kill me. They end up losing,

833
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: but it wouldn't be your fault.

834
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: I'll just I guess.

835
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: I'm I guess.

836
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 3: One of my worries for US is are they going

837
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 3: to match the energy of France, because you know they're

838
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: gonna bring it in front of everybody at home, and

839
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 3: if they can, if they can just play up to

840
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 3: the energy right.

841
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 2: There, I think they can pull it out.

842
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I'm with you. USA has got to

843
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: keep their heads because you know, some things are gonna

844
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: go France's way. You know, the crowd is going to

845
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: be rocking. I'm sure Yabu will do something crazy in

846
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: the first eight minutes. He'll be smiling ear to ear,

847
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: the crowd will be completely hype. It'll be tense moments,

848
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: but luckily they have this fourth quarter Serbia that they

849
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: understand how to get through those moments. I'm going USA

850
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: by eleven, just like in two thousand and eight against Spain.

851
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: How about you, Tess, Yes, I'd also agree it. I'm

852
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 2: taking the US for sure. Yeah. Well, the French guys

853
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 2: have to stay hot, but they're going to bring the physicality,

854
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: So I agree, Yeah, the BAM is going to play

855
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: against the sort the Panatheni Coast huge forward. That guy

856
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: is Matra, So they do have great guys that come

857
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: off the bench and play. And yeah, it feels like

858
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 2: America's got it all together right now. They just feel

859
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: so good for that gold medal that I don't know

860
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: if you guys heard the story. The reason why I'm

861
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 2: wearing this nineteen ninety six Atlanta Olympic shirt was because Shack.

862
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 2: Did you hear Shaq's story that after winning the gold

863
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 2: medal it was here in Atlanta, but he didn't play

864
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 2: the last game, apparently because David Robinson was likely going

865
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 2: to be playing in his last game. So Lenny Wilkins said, hey, Shaq,

866
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: David Rompsons starting, Is that okay? And He's like yeah, sure, yeah, whatever,

867
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: And then Shaq ended up playing zero minutes and he

868
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: literally after the ceremony had the gold medal on his

869
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: neck and then when he was in the car, he

870
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: pulled it off and threw it out the window of

871
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 2: his car.

872
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: No way, he's what he said.

873
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: I totally believe kept saying he's like, and that metal

874
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: has never been found. So I put this shirt on

875
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go searching around Atlantis highways try and

876
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: find a gold medal. The guy just tossed it. That

877
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 2: was really crazy.

878
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: He just chucked it.

879
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he said he ripped it.

880
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 4: He ripped it, so the thing just ripped off his neck. tATu,

881
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 4: It's ain't my gold medal.

882
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. That's that's pretty funny. I have been

883
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: getting some flashbacks. I think it was. I guess it

884
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: was technically dream Team Too played in the nineteen ninety

885
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: four World Cup. I don't think it was called that

886
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: at that point, but it was in Toronto, right, Yeah,

887
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: and Shawn Kemp like made a lot of international waves

888
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: because they were mad at him for grabbing his crotch

889
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: when he would dunk. That was like a Shawn Kemp thing,

890
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: and everybody's like, that's so disrespectful of the United States.

891
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: Now we've got Joel Embiid. As soon as the game

892
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: is over, he's like, there's no NBA referees around here

893
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: to find me. I'm going DX mode for ten straight

894
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: seconds and everybody's like yeah, yeah, yeah, I get them.

895
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: Shawn kemp Man. He's got to be watching that, be like, oh,

896
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: come on, see, it's cool.

897
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: Anyways, he'll do that, He'll do yeah, he'll do that.

898
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 2: Something looking forward to it.

899
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: So five am, if you're an absolute sick of we

900
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: got Serbia and Germany playing for the bronze medal, three

901
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: point thirty pm, Eastern USA versus France for the goal.

902
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: I assume that's a peacock USA network, though I didn't

903
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: pay good enough attention to the USA network part of things. Anyways,

904
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: we'll be watching. Hey, remember the NBA. We've actually got

905
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: some news kind of about it, some future news at

906
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: the very least. Champseranya of the Athletic talk to some

907
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: sources and he got a look at the NBA Christmas

908
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: Day games for the twenty four to twenty five season.

909
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: Chams says, the games are gonna be I assume this

910
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: is at the order They're gonna go Spurs at Nicks,

911
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: Timberwolves at Mavericks, seventy six Ers at Celtics, Lakers at Warriors,

912
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: and Nuggets at Suns. What do you think of this?

913
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: Taska first look at the likely twenty four to twenty

914
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: five all right, I guess Christmas twenty twenty four games.

915
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 2: I think it is very good. It is amazing to

916
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: see when min Yama on there. The Spurs are on

917
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: Christmas Day for the first time. I don't know how

918
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 2: long it's been. It seems like it's been a long time.

919
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, ten, very very good team. Obviously there's snubs.

920
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 2: There's some snubs out there.

921
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: Who's the biggest snub for you?

922
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh, this is I guess a little bit of a

923
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: deep pull. But at some point Zion and the Pelicans

924
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: have to be on Christmas and I know Zion, Zion,

925
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 2: Zion man.

926
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: That guy's got to be around on Christmas. They gave

927
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: him a Christmas Day game his rookie year and it

928
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: wasn't there.

929
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why he's not on there because he may

930
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: not be able to play, But there's going to be

931
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 2: a day like he played in the most games he's

932
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: ever played in last year, and maybe he'll be healthy

933
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 2: for a Christmas Day game. But to me, it's the

934
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: Pels that stand out because of that, because Zion should

935
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 2: play on one. Obviously, he needs to play in some

936
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: playoffs first, because that's the thing that's holding him back.

937
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 2: Having not played in a playoff game. But yeah, I'm

938
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: also yeah, I'm just a little Yeah. It's an off pick,

939
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: that's for sure, because I was watching Daniel Tye yesterday

940
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: and he's going to be their starting because they really

941
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: don't have much center depth at all. But that dude

942
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: was playing for Germany, like he had block after block,

943
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 2: he was doing so many things, a left hook pass

944
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: across his body into the right corner. Anyway, So to.

945
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: Hear that from Adam Silver, he comes out announces the

946
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: Christmas Day games and he's like, I mean, you guys

947
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: saw Daniel Tice during the Olympics. We're given the Pelicans

948
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: a game. The biggest snub is Okce. Yeah, they were

949
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: the West's number one seed. They had a top two

950
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: MVP vote in Shay Gilles Alexander. They got better. They

951
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 1: should be getting a game. They should get one, honestly

952
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: over the Spurs. But I understand Wemby is there. I

953
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: would also change up some of the matchups here. I

954
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: think we've had Sixers versus Celtics and Lakers versus Warriors

955
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: playing on Christmas for ten straight seasons. Mix it up.

956
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: Though you can understand why the Celtics are getting a

957
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: game they're the champs. You know, the Lakers and Warriors

958
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: are there because they have two of the greats playing

959
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: for him, and Lebron and Steph the seventy six Ers

960
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: obviously our arrival of the Celtics. It just doesn't enthuse

961
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: me a ton. I would also like to change up

962
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: Timberwolves and Mavericks and Nuggets and Sons. I want them

963
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: playing each other. I want Nuggets Timberwolves in a remix

964
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: in a rematch, and I want Sons versus Mavericks because

965
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: those are teams that have a lot of history with

966
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: each other. So I think they got a lot of

967
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: the teams right though I don't necessarily think the matchups

968
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: are ideal to me, and okay see, definitely should they

969
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: should have a game?

970
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I guess they're playing the international card

971
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 2: here and saying Wemby is the big French star and

972
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 2: so he's playing to me. I think if you put

973
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: a small market in like the Spurs, then okay see

974
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 2: gets screwed. And I know it gets squeezed for sure,

975
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, like you could see a team like you know,

976
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns that got popped in the first round

977
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: with the sweep. If we're looking at that sort of perspective.

978
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 2: They could be dropped too, but they have the starts.

979
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: They that's what it's about, and so they squeaked in.

980
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 2: They pushed one small market team in, but I think

981
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 2: that's probably their limit.

982
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right. Spurs probably did take Okayc's slot here,

983
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know they should have gotten a game.

984
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: I do believe Ashua, which one of these games would

985
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: be most excited for on Christmas Day? I know you're Brnn.

986
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: Probably take the Celtics because the Hawks aren't playing, so

987
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: you'd be a Celtics fan that day. But other than

988
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: that game, what are you most excited for?

989
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

990
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: Other than that game, I don't know. I guess I

991
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 3: guess I had to go with the Lakers and the Warriors.

992
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 3: You know, we see it all the time, but Steph

993
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 3: and Lebron is always you know, gold you know of time.

994
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, you got you gotta watch those guys play,

995
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 3: especially on a Christmas Day because there's going to be

996
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 3: a buzzer beater or like something crazy coming down to

997
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 3: the wire. Because it's been that way since Lebrun's time

998
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 3: on the Calves every Christmas for the past. What ten years,

999
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 3: twelve years, so.

1000
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, but he's gonna be given a gift to

1001
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 2: his son, Brodnie. I'm sure he'll be giving a nice

1002
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 2: pass to him or something that'd be crazy if.

1003
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: Wow, interesting. Interesting. Do you think that Bronnie James will

1004
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: still be on the Lakers active roster at Christmas or

1005
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 1: will he be a G leaguer at that point?

1006
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: Well, you can, you can bring him up and bring

1007
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: him down. He definitely has to play in the G

1008
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 2: League from the get go, but bring him for Christmas,

1009
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean.

1010
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: Probably right off. The family can spend time together gift

1011
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: exchange on the he wants to be part of the

1012
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: Lakers gift exchange. I love it. So you know that's

1013
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: a long time from now. You want some news from

1014
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: something else that's even further in the future. Just yesterday,

1015
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 1: the Dan Levitard Show had John tesh on to debut

1016
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: a new version of round Ball Rock that will likely

1017
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: be in use for the twenty five twenty six season.

1018
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: Let's pull it up here and give you a taste

1019
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: of John tesh Is new round ball Rock.

1020
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: Here is round Ball Rock, the shredded version for you

1021
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 2: to pull on. Oh, just a little taste of the

1022
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 2: shredded version task.

1023
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1024
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 2: It's a good nb A theme song period a right.

1025
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: An NBA theme song.

1026
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad it's back. That's all all those clips

1027
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: weird me out. But I mean, John Tash sounds like

1028
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 2: Bill Walton, the late Bill Walton coming like kind of right.

1029
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: It kind of sounds you know, deep deep voice there,

1030
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 2: and the guys redoing the NSL skit that was a

1031
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: great skit. So, I mean, it's like it just kind

1032
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 2: of it throws you off for a second. It's like,

1033
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 2: is this the NFL skit? What's going on? What are

1034
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 2: we listening to? Because those guys, those guys ripped on

1035
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 2: that NFL skit, So it kind of.

1036
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: Throws outnl SNL Saturday Night Live not the Night of Saturday.

1037
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah NSL. Yeah, I'm not sure why I'm calling it NSL.

1038
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: But it is funny because you know, obviously that sketch

1039
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: has aired since NBC hasn't had basketball, haven't had the NBA.

1040
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: So Round Ball Rock back when they were just back

1041
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: when they had the NBA, that was just a song.

1042
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: That's just how it sounded, and now we all act

1043
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: like it has lyrics. The Levatard show. I thought it

1044
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 1: was very smart to have a couple of their staffers

1045
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: dressed like who is it Jason Sedeikis and Tim Robinson,

1046
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: I suppose, but it was throwing me off because they're

1047
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: throwing in like the little still shots of them as well.

1048
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: I had to go and watch the actual Levatar to

1049
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: be like, this isn't a joke, right, this is actually

1050
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: this is actually John Tesh debuting the song. But I thought,

1051
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, the vibe was the same. Obviously a lot

1052
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: more guitar rather than just straight up keyboards, but it

1053
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: sounded the same to me, so maybe unnecessary, but it

1054
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: sounded nice. What do you think?

1055
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 3: Eh? Oh, I love it. I'm so glad it's back.

1056
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 3: And then, you know, like just kind of updating a

1057
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 3: little bit. You got to compete with the ESPN theme song,

1058
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 3: the T and T theme song, which we've heard for

1059
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 3: so long now, like you guys dance to it that

1060
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 3: one time on Opening night, Like they had to step

1061
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 3: it up just the notch to kind of compete with that.

1062
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 3: But it's roundball rock, like everybody knows. It doesn't matter

1063
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 3: if you're NBA fan or not. You hear that and

1064
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,240
Speaker 3: you're just automatically thinking basketball.

1065
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: So you gotta you gotta love it.

1066
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 3: You have to or else you're you shouldn't exist.

1067
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: I think you gotta.

1068
00:55:58,960 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 2: On Saturday.

1069
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: It's an NBC property, right right, they should. They should

1070
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: one bring those guys back to do the sketch at

1071
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: some point during the season. I wouldn't be surprised if

1072
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: they do. But I'm kind of getting excited, Like between

1073
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: here and Noah Eagle and Dwayne Wade on the call

1074
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: and then getting a solid version of Round Ball Rock

1075
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: re recorded by John Tesh. They didn't bring in the

1076
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 1: imagined dragons. You know, it's not Chappell Roone doing Round

1077
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 1: Ball Rock. We got the O G guy. It sounds

1078
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: the exact same. It's still a long time from now,

1079
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 1: but I think this has been a good basketball summer

1080
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 1: for NBC so far.

1081
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: It has been top notch, absolutely top notch. Yet you

1082
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: get thrown off there for sec seeing John Tesh because

1083
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 2: he looks different obviously he's older and he's got the

1084
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 2: white hair going on there, like what are they what

1085
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 2: are they doing? But yeah, they redo it on set

1086
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: there for a Levitard smart move and yes, I mean

1087
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 2: the SNL skit is just so good too, because those

1088
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 2: guys vegas Is King and Robinson King, so yeah, that

1089
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: has to be redone. What I guess maybe Snoop Dogg

1090
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 2: can join in or something.

1091
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, they'll be involved somehow, I'm sure exactly

1092
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: great stuff. So yeah, we got some Christmas Day games

1093
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: coming in the future and then the far future new

1094
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: round Ball Rock. Very exciting times, guys. I think it

1095
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: has been a classic episode of No Dunks. I don't

1096
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: know about you? About you, what do we doing next week?

1097
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: We're back? I think Tuesday is what it's lining up

1098
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: to be, though there will be obviously a summer of

1099
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: champions tonight seven pm Eastern. What events are on on

1100
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,439
Speaker 1: Olympics today, I know breaking starts, so I'm sure they'll

1101
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: get into some talk of that because you know, I

1102
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: bet if you ask Skeets deep down inside number one,

1103
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 1: he would pick basketball to be an Olympia Number two.

1104
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: Maybe running. He's a great runner, but he also appreciates

1105
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: his own dance skills, so I think he would want

1106
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: to be a dancer as well. And I know there's

1107
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: a guy named Phil Wizard who's Canadian, so maybe he's

1108
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: learning through that guy vicariously, so I'll be talking about

1109
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: that tonight seven pm Eastern. Then we got five am

1110
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: Bronze Medal game, three thirty pm Gold Medal game, and

1111
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go on Summer of Champions to

1112
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: talk about the gold medal game on Saturday night seven pm,

1113
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: unless unless the worst happens.

1114
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: And I'm a sad.

1115
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: Boy, a very very sad boy. I don't even want

1116
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: to put the energy out there, as you well, but

1117
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: I think I'm feeling confidence should be fun. And then

1118
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: we'll be back next week to talk about I know
