37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: all over again in January. We got rapid fire. We

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: got all the good stuff here on the drop. But

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: first we had a New Year's Day weggie good stuff.

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins last night in Detroit with the put back

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: rebound attempt there and it got stuck and then it

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: falls out a little longer than I remember. So yeah,

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: up to twenty seven wedgies as we cross over into

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: the new year on pace for fifty nine tasks. That

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: would be an all time best. So I don't want

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: to jinx anything, but this is looking good.

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: It's an all time best. We had a sixty year

48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: Oh we did have a sixty year.

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: Well does this pace still count the postseason like the

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: projected pace?

51
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: It does? Okay, we had a sixty three do that

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 3: two years ago, but this was our first New Year's Day,

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: Weggie since we started back. That was great to hear

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: the Pistons broadcaster Greg Kelser say New.

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: Year's Day, Weggie. He did eventually he got to it.

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: It took a while. I thought.

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: I was like, say, Weggie, say Weggie. Why aren't you

58
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: saying Weggie? And then he said, I said that New

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Years stay, Legie.

60
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: Good stuff.

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Okay, here's what we're doing on today's drop. This's gonna

62
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. We are drafting bold NBA predictions. Okay,

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take turns. You're gonna come with your boldest

64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: addiction and we'll do a couple rounds of this tas.

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: Why do you get us started?

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: What's your big bold prediction for twenty twenty six?

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Let's go bold. The Denver Nuggets will win the twenty

68
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: six NBA Championship. But I know people are saying, well,

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: then Nicola yokicch is hurt. How can they do it?

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: I think this is going to help them. It's going

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: to help their support crew come together. It's like brandon Ingram.

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: The Raptors just played the Nuggets. After the game, he said,

73
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: I was expecting Peyton Watson to play as well as

74
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: he did. And I know a lot of people are

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: not expecting the Nuggets support players to carry this while

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Yokich is down. But it's Derone Holmes's time, and especially

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: guys like the guys who will come back. Christian Brown

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: and Gordon should be back very soon. Those guys got

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: to do a lot now. They might be playing on

80
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: the road in the playoffs for every series if they're

81
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: going to win the championship, but that's fine. They're a

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: better routeam than they are a home team. I'm surprised

83
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: to see that now. The thirteen and five on the road,

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: ten five at home. So they're damn good. Yokich gets

85
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: a month off. He's the most important part. He's going

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: to lead the way back. He's never done this in

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: his NBA career before, where he's been off this long.

88
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: So I like it, and I do think they're going

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: to make a little trade. Here's another prediction. I think

90
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: they're going to get Io Desumu from the Bulls just

91
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: to get just to get a little bit, just to

92
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: they need a guy who can handle the ball a

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: little bit off the trade play. Oh four?

94
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: What?

95
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: Right, I think you're asking for what. I know you

97
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: like to ask what is he gonna do? Yeah, it's

98
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: a good question. It's seven and a half million dollars salary.

99
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't do that work. I didn't

100
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: do it. It's not a lot. It's not a lot.

101
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: I think they can it may have to be a

102
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: pick and I'd like not a pick. Yeah, well, how

103
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: how how many? How much restriction on that first round pick?

104
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: We'll see. So I didn't do that work, but I

105
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: think doesn't get him.

106
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: But you think at the end of the day, here

107
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: this like the silver lining is you o kitch Okay?

108
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: That sucks. He's out, but he gets to rest for

109
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 2: call it four to six weeks.

110
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the other guy's a little bit.

111
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: More left in the ta th other guys get more rapids.

112
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: I mean, that's why it's your own homes time. Yeah,

113
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: which is not happened for the Denver Nuggets. Since he

114
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: was drafted. They haven't played him a lot. He's gonna

115
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: have to play at center. But I just think Cam

116
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Johnson will be sprung into a role when he gets back.

117
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Christian Brown, Aaron Gordon will have to do a lot more.

118
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: They have to do a lot more. Yeah, those guys

119
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: will be back soon ish, those two So TBD. I

120
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: mean it's really on Jokic. I just I just part

121
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: of it is Jokic leading them to a championship like

122
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: he can do. And it's been a few years and

123
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: you know this is bold prediction time. Well it happened, TBD.

124
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: But I think k can come back strong, considering he's

125
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: a very tough dude.

126
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: What do you got for your first I didn't have

127
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: the Nuggets winning the championship, but I did have a

128
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: Nuggets related one. I think I'll play the most entertaining

129
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: first round series in the playoffs. But we already talked

130
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: about the Nuggets a little bit. Either they stay where

131
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: they're at and it's Minnesota, awesome series. They a terrible

132
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: stretch without Jokic, dropped to six. They're playing either the

133
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: Rockets of the Spurs, that's an awesome series, or they

134
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: split the difference four or five against the Lakers. Cool, right,

135
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: all very cool, But for me, my bold prediction first

136
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: round draft pick O Jananobi is going to win the

137
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: Larry Bird Trophy.

138
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: Oh wow, the Eastern Conference Finals MVP of Fight remember correctly.

139
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: Who could forget Eastern Conference Finals MVP. The Knicks are

140
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: looking good. They're a game and a half back of

141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: first place, but they do have the best point differential

142
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference twenty three to ten on the season,

143
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: but seventeen and six. When Og plays, to me, he's

144
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: the guy that takes them to the next level. I

145
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: think any sort of team that they have to face

146
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: in a conference finals, you're going to have a big

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: defensive responsibility for Og Anobi, Like if they end up

148
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: playing against the Detroit Pistons, OG's probably the guy who's

149
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: gonna be tasked with guarding Kid Cunningham. He's got a

150
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: lot to cover four on the Karl Anthony Towns side

151
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: of things, being the second best rim protector, sometimes the

152
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: best room protector for the Knicks. I think Og when

153
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: he's out there, takes the Knicks from good team to

154
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: great team. Sure, and that to me is why he

155
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 2: will take home that Larry Bird trophy that Victor Solomon

156
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: designed Larry Bird Trophy. Okay, I like this one.

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: I'll piggyback off of yours then, because you got Og

158
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: leading the Knicks to the finals. And my bold prediction

159
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: is we get a rematch of the nineteen ninety four

160
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I got the Rockets meeting the Knicks in

161
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. So you go, Nuggets. I'll try and

162
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: one up you. I'll say the Rockets are the team

163
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: representing the Western Conference. You went through sort of like

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: obviously the Denver side of things. You're gonna have Jokic back,

165
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna still have playoff Jamal Murray, all these other guys.

166
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: The rest of the Western Conference is awesome, and you

167
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to beat OKC four to

168
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: seven times. They're a juggernaut. Still, they're the odds on

169
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: favorite to repeat. You got the Wolves. They've been to

170
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: two straight conference finals in the West. No matter what

171
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: you think of the actual teams, you still don't really

172
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: want to see Luca and Lebron Lakers, or even Steph

173
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Curry and his Warriors in a seven game series. And

174
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: then the Spurs might be the team of now instead

175
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: of like the team of the future, like they're damn good.

176
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: But I like the Rockets, man, the more I watch

177
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: them more. I'm starting to convince myself they'd be going

178
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: to be a very very difficult out in the postseason.

179
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: They're plus fourteen hundred on fan duel to win the title.

180
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: It's like, okac as the odds on favorite. Then it's

181
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: like the Spurs and your Nicks and who else am

182
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: I forgetting there's another team and the Nuggets of course

183
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: at plus one thousand, but Houston at plus fourteen hundred.

184
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Here's why.

185
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: After they started the season with two like really tough losses,

186
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: like really close losses. That double overtime loss too. Okay, see,

187
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: then they lost like a two possession game. I guess

188
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: it was to Detroit. They won ten to their next eleven,

189
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: and after they beat the Nets last night, they're twenty

190
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: one to ten, And I just love they have an

191
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: established identity. They are top three on offense, they shoot

192
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: the three ball well, they take care of the ball,

193
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: they play at their own tempo which was slow, and

194
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: they just do historic work on the offensive glass. Right now,

195
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: that's like their identity. And then they're pairing it with

196
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: a top ten defense, which I actually still think has

197
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: rooms for improvement as the season goes on. My favorite

198
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: part about their defense is they play hard without fouling

199
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: a ton, And I think these are like the recipes

200
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: you want in a postseason, So I'm gonna go with them.

201
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: Now they've struggled in the clutch. Is it just one

202
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: of these weird things, a little bit of a fluke?

203
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Are they still figuring out the shngoon and Katie of

204
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: it all when you get into the clutch? Maybe they're

205
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: one in four in overtime games like flip that, and

206
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: they have one of the best records in the league.

207
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: We'd be talking about them maybe a bit more.

208
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: So. I just like, I'm gonna go to Houston.

209
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say, like, it'd be weird if Katie

210
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: gets there, maybe even wins another title. What that does

211
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: for like Kevin Durant's incredible legacy, but obviously would amp

212
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: it up even more.

213
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, some.

214
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: Point, instant. Okay, see the obvious. Pick all these other

215
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: great teams, give me the Rockets. That would be Kevin

216
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: Durant's most respected championship. Oh, I can buy far out

217
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: of doubt. Yeah. And the other thing, I don't really

218
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: I think they would struggle against the thunder The thing

219
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: I like that the Rockets do is offensive rebound that

220
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: kills the thunder. The thing they don't have is good

221
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: guards that also kills the thunder. Mate.

222
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Yes, but will van Vliet come back is a part

223
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: of this equation. I don't know from injury like he

224
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: sort of like was alluding to it. I think it's

225
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: a possibility. I just like the makeup of like ve

226
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: guys obviously led by your og and KD and some

227
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: other older guys and then shng Gunir's star and then

228
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: all these young hungry guys that they fill in the

229
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: blanks with that are like just getting more and more reps.

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: They're well coached. You say they would struggle against the thunder.

231
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Who's to say Spurs don't knock off the Thunder? Like

232
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: maybe some other team takes care of OKC for them,

233
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: and when we get into the postseason it's a big

234
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: who knows. But I also love that they have played

235
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: the most road heavy schedule through December. This is from

236
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: our guy Schumann. So in two weeks after they play

237
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: even more road games here because they just played in

238
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Brooklyn last night, they're going to have played just thirteen

239
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: of thirty six games at home. So second half of

240
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: this year They're gonna have a lot of home games

241
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: and maybe that helps him win even more here. So

242
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I'll go Kdie winning well. Like I said, they're getting there,

243
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Nicks Rockets will be obviously super fun, but yeah, I

244
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: got them winning the West.

245
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely do worry about their ball handling. Number one,

246
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: just who they are right now. They turn over the

247
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: ball a lot, their second worst in the NBA. And

248
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: then Freddy has never been out for a very long time,

249
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: and when he does come back after a long time,

250
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: like last year, you know he was out for about

251
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: a month, I worry if he's going to click. I mean,

252
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: that's it's a long time for him to click. I

253
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: don't know if they're actually going to make a trade

254
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: to try and help them out in the backward there's

255
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: that possibility, but yeah, the the thunder able to double

256
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: team guys and just work, you know, sideline to sideline

257
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: for everybody on the perimeter is going to hurt them.

258
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's why the Rockets are already the second

259
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 3: worst team turning it over. So yeah, I definitely worried

260
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: about that.

261
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: Need Freddy Beck get steady Freddy back in there, Okay

262
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: in September, Yeah, it'll be a quick comeback and went

263
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: back for the playoffs as well. Yeah, yeah, I would.

264
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: Because of the type of injury he had. Yeah, as

265
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: he said it on his podcast.

266
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean like when he was talking to our guys

267
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: at Hello and Welcome, Will and Alex, Yeah, you know,

268
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: they asked him about it rehabilitation, and like he'd you know,

269
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: there's no they're always going to say, of course, I'm

270
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: aiming for it, and they're gonna try and modern medicine

271
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: and all that. Like, I don't think it's out of

272
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: realm of possibility. Maybe unlikely. Do they even need him?

273
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: I guess you could get into to actually go far

274
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: and win some of these series. Like they match up

275
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: really well against a lot of these teams because again

276
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the identity of it all, they're big as hell. You

277
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: do have two guys and Katie and Elprinchengun that are

278
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: stars still playing at an all NBA level, and then

279
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: all the other guys filling in, Like you have a

280
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: huge on Thompson game, Jory, it's my junior game, Like

281
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: you have all these things. So I just like the

282
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: pieces and they're they've gotten badass coach that's obviously taking

283
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: a team to the finals already. Now you gotta try

284
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: do it in the West.

285
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Let's do another round. What you got,

286
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: What do you got?

287
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: I got the Warriors acquiring Trey Murphy at the trade deadline,

288
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: I think they can do it. I think they're looking

289
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: for someone bigger off the wing, you know, like a

290
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: lowry Marketing or a slightly not as good lowry marketing

291
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: and Michael Porter Junior maybe those type of guys. But

292
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: I think they could acquire a Trey Murphy. It essentially

293
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: would be Jonathan Omega for Trey Murphy. Now they probably

294
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: have to shove a pick in there along with Jonathan Aminga.

295
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 3: But the Pelicans like taking chances on guys who have

296
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: not excelled elsewhere or shown flashes elsewhere. You're Jordan Poole

297
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 3: and those type of guys that they've tried, so I

298
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: think they'd be willing to give that a try. It

299
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 3: is odd and not a trade from the Golden State

300
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: Warriors perspective, because Trey Murphy has signed long, Jeremy signed

301
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: through twenty nine, and they're all trying to line everything

302
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: up with Steph and Draymond and Jimmy, but they don't

303
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: have because those guys are, you know, coming off their

304
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: contracts next season essentially, but they don't have enough money

305
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: wise to go get a big wing and like a

306
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: Michael Porter junior or Larry Markinen. So this is all

307
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 3: they can do. Really, this is a very good thing.

308
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 3: It's Trey Murphy. So would the Pelicans be willing to

309
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 3: give up on Trey Murphy. It's a big question, but

310
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: it's a pick that they had already given up on

311
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: essentially that they're be able to get back, not necessarily

312
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: their pick, but I just mean they messed up trading picks,

313
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: and here they are in a very very very terrible

314
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: position here at the bottom of the Western Conference. They

315
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: don't have their pick. They'd be happy to get one back.

316
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: So I could see Trey Murphy going to the Golden

317
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: State Wars. I think it's a match for both parties.

318
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think of that one? TK? I

319
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: don't think the Pelicans should do it unless they're getting

320
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: a far future first round pick from the Warriors. The

321
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Warriors have traded their twenty thirty first round pick, so

322
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: maybe a twenty thirty two would be coming back to

323
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: New Orleans and that could be juicy because the Warriors,

324
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: they ain't gonna have Steph Curry by twenty thirty two,

325
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: they have Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler. These guys will be

326
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 2: in their forties at that point, so the team will

327
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: probably stink, which means a good draft pick for the Pelicans.

328
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: But I would rather have Trey Murphy around Derek Queen

329
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: and Jeremiah Fears for the interim.

330
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

331
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: I think he's just a perfect guy to fit alongside

332
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: a guard and a big man, a wing who can

333
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: shoot it from outside, can get inside as well. But

334
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: that's why he would also fit great on the Warriors.

335
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure they would love you again him, Oh yeah, first,

336
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: come on, why would you walking on that when you've

337
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: got a little bit of positive momentum with your one guy,

338
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: your young guys. Yeah, you're bringing a guy hit here

339
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: to shoot the ball every single time. That'd be a

340
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: terrible fit. Minga the Pelicans. Yeah, I love this weird

341
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: stretch they're on right now.

342
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: The Pelicans too, Like they lost a ton of games

343
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: and then they had like it got up to like

344
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: they won one and then they lost seven straight and

345
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: then they won five straight.

346
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, you're there. They come and then I lost.

347
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: Now straight again.

348
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: What's ion back into the starting lineup and it ain't

349
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: working anymore? Nothing working. It would be taking a risk

350
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: trading away for trading away Trey Murphy and getting getting

351
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: a guy like Jonathan Minga. But they take risks. They've

352
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: got it just such an odd roster, and then they

353
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: would be doing it again.

354
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: What do you have TK for your next one? Clippers

355
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: are going to make the playoffs? Okay, six straight wins

356
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: for La Kawhi Leonard is on fire. Had forty five

357
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: last night. During the six game win streak, Kawhi has

358
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: gone thirty two, forty one, twenty eight, fifty five, thirty

359
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: three and then, like I said, forty five last night

360
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: shooting fifty five from the field, forty four from three.

361
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: What do you take sixteen threes last night against the Jazz? Oh? Hi, God,

362
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: that's crazy, Kawhi Leonard.

363
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: Yes, Leers is me.

364
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: They're only a game and a half back of tenth

365
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: place right now in the Western Conference, three games back

366
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: of the ninth seed, and you look at the couple

367
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: of teams ahead of them, Portland, they're incentivized to end

368
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: up in the They have a lottery protected pick going

369
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: to the Bulls, so they probably I don't know. It's

370
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: hard to figure out what's going on with Portland. They

371
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: want to make the play in tournament because they haven't

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: done anything in the postseason for what four years or

373
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: something like that, But Scoot Henderson's still not playing. Nobody

374
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: is playing for this team right now. Drew Hollidays, Jeremy

375
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: Grant is out Scoot Obviously above them is the Grizzlies.

376
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: Unsure what they're going to look like the second half

377
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: of the season. So I think the Clippers have started

378
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: playing a little bit better, mainly because Kawhi as hoop

379
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: and right now James Harden never misses the playoffs. But

380
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: there's no reason for the Clippers to be bad. But

381
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: the NBA needs them to at least approach the play

382
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: in tournament, so they're not giving away the number one

383
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: pick theoretically to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and then you

384
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: factor in the January Clippers. I don't know if it's

385
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: a real thing, but it feels real to me. Nine

386
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: and six last year, okay, that's fine, Yeah, twelve and three,

387
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: though the year before there is always a stretch where

388
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Tylu figures out the rotations, the defense starts playing, there's

389
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: a combination of great health from Kawhi and from James Harden,

390
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: and they just start clicking, start clicking, start clicking. And

391
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: I think that's right now for LA. So I think

392
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: they're gonna make a run into the playoffs. I say

393
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: playoffs only because it's a bold, a bold sort of thing.

394
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: They would need to get up to seventh, which I

395
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: think is almost impossible. But they could get to tenth

396
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: and then win a play in game, gets eighth and

397
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: they up by a thunder. But the eight pounds as.

398
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: Of playoffs, you know, yeah, at least.

399
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: The top ten. I think they can get to nine,

400
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: and I think they can win their play in games. Okay, Okay,

401
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: that's which makes the playoffs.

402
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a playoff performance. And it would be wonderful

403
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 3: for them to start playing or keep playing better right

404
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 3: before they host the All Star Game. So it's great

405
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: for all parties.

406
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Right now, Kawhi turning it on here for an All

407
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: Star selection. He's timing it perfectly because yeah, he's averaging

408
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: forty point four points perpen with insane shooting splits over

409
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: the last whatever five or six. Now, yeah, they got

410
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: the six game win streak, and they did beat the Jazz,

411
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: who they now have the same record as after beating

412
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: them last night at twelve and twenty one, which is

413
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: still not a great record, but they were six and

414
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty one. They were one of the worst, exactly bottom.

415
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, now they've got a strong couple together here,

416
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: all right, clips Clips making the play in and making

417
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs. But they're like they did battling,

418
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: like probably the Suns will be one of those teams

419
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: in a playing game so they could see them. And

420
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: then like you said, you know, where are the Blazers

421
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: in the mix? And then where like are the Nuggets

422
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: falling or the Warriors falling back there or one of

423
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: those like better teams let's call them that are maybe

424
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, So they'd be a dangerous out if quiet,

425
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: like if you have a healthy quhy, this guy is

426
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: a two time finals MVP, and you just got to

427
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: win one or two games, like just win and get in,

428
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: like Jesus, yeah, you're gonna you'll bet on him, all right.

429
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: My second prediction here a little different.

430
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: I think the.

431
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: NBA finally finally announces plans to expand to thirty two teams.

432
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: I think Silver finally comes out and said, Okay, we're

433
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: now doing it, and I think it's going to be Seattle,

434
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: and I do think it's still going to be Las

435
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: Vegas and we're going to have thirty two total teams,

436
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: which then means a team has to move to the

437
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. I mean, in theory it does, and I

438
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: think it's going to be Minnesota. I think it makes

439
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: the most sense. They share a division with a Chicago

440
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: team in each of the other three major sports, so

441
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: it's like it is a little weird that they're not

442
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: even in the same division level of the same conference

443
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: here in the NBA. I think they just get shafted

444
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: the most, sort of by travel of where they are

445
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: with their conference. People say, well, what about Memphis and

446
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Well, they are a little closer to some

447
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: of these other Western Conference teams like Texas teams and

448
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I will go Minnesota moves over,

449
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: Okay to the Eastern Conference, and yeah, we have Vegas

450
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: and Seattle. I think it finally gets announced after we've

451
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: had these tens of billions of dollars in sales of

452
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: these franchises in these marquee franchises that that Lakers, obviously Celtics. Recently,

453
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: you've set now like these insane valuations even for expansion teams.

454
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, people push back and they say, well, these

455
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: owners don't want expansion teams because then they it's already

456
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: they got to split with twenty nine other franchises. Now

457
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: they got to split with thirty thirty one in theory,

458
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: but when it gets to that high, these billions and billions,

459
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: I think they'll be okay with it.

460
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: So I think that's what's gonna happen.

461
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: It sure looks like it's happened. Yes, the Silver has

462
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 3: been implying that, and you can just show these owners

463
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: who yes, you have to share with two more teams,

464
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: but just show the owners, Okay, three years ago, this

465
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: is what you were getting, and now you're getting more

466
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: just because of how much these TV deals are. Thirty

467
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: two teams is happening, and a league in Europe is

468
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: happening as well. So yeah, it's just getting wider and wider.

469
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: It's expanding.

470
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Do you think they will be Seattle in Vegas or

471
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: is there any other wild card location? Like Seattle is

472
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: a no brainer. They're getting a franchise back that's gonna

473
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: be cool. Let's be honest, like the Sonics being back

474
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: in our life. I think that will be fun. Vegas.

475
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I think it will go there. I don't know what

476
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: they'll be called. Uh, the Rattlers, Scorpions, Uh.

477
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: Mostly creatures, creature things. Hard to name a team after

478
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: anything gambling related Right now, I would say.

479
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean gambling free.

480
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: I think it would be fun if they were the

481
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: Kings in a weird way because you got the Aces,

482
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: W n B A. But I'm with you, the whole

483
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: gambling jokers, the jokers jokers. I just don't think there's another.

484
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Mexico City, But I think it's more.

485
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Like, was there a big buzz for NBA expansion in

486
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: Mexico while you were there? For the people talking down

487
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 2: on the beach. When do we getting the team?

488
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: No one said a thing time basketball at all?

489
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's weird, very weird soccer on every single channel.

490
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Oh yes, at all times.

491
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: Yes, And I think a spin off of this is

492
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: not only Minnesota moving to the Eastern Conference. If I

493
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: had to pick one of the franchises, that will but

494
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: and we got into this recently, I think we will

495
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: make our way to the NBA Cup, replicating an NCAA

496
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: tournament like sort of bracket when we eventually have the

497
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: thirty two franchises and the thirty two teams and sixteen

498
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: on each side, and however we seed them, whether it's

499
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: from group play or not, previous season's records, whatever, it's

500
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: winning advance, baby, and we just do the whole thing

501
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: to get to an NBA Cup winner. I think we

502
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: make our way there. But look, the talent pool feels

503
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: like it's there in the league to me that we're

504
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: not going to be crushed by having two more franchises.

505
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Like you obviously gotta do the expansion draft and all that,

506
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: and it's tough for these franchises to start, but there

507
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: are so many, so many talented players in this league

508
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: that can get a chance to be a star. Guy

509
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: Weight took camingas on the Las Vegas Fighters.

510
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 2: Baby, Hey, you can score twenty five games. Anybody can

511
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: do it these days. Yeah, that's right. Do you think

512
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: if they expand and at Seattle and Vegas teams will

513
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: be fighting to get into the Eastern Conference Cause you're

514
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: like Minnesota, you're close to Eastern Conference teams. Yeah, Memphis

515
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: is further east, right right, you want to be in

516
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. It's been easier for thirty years. Yeah,

517
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: it would be like if I'm the Timberwolves, I'm like, no,

518
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: we need to be there. Look how close we are

519
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 2: to Milwaukee. Look how close we are to Chicago. Anthony

520
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: Edwards is the next Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan played his

521
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 2: entire career in the East.

522
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: Get us over there, Yeah, hey, look, free idea for

523
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Peacock or Amazon whatever. Make it like an hour special

524
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: where let's say three or four franchise, probably three Minnesota,

525
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Memphis. Yes, you get silver and his

526
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: board there and you just come in and you pitch

527
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: your case. You put on a presentation of why we

528
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: should be in the Eastern Conference.

529
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: Watch the hell out of it. That would be awesome.

530
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: Break it down. The Detroit Tourism video is what that

531
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: would be like. But you know, good, Okay, one more round,

532
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: one more round, ten more round? Yeah? What do you got? Uh?

533
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: I think there's chance Konka Nipple wins Rookie of the

534
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 3: Year over Cooper flag Ooh, I disagree, but let's here

535
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: what Conka Nipple is absolutely rolling. If you want to

536
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 3: get geeky about it, just like the teams are going

537
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: to be presenting, Look how far east we are. If

538
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: you present the numbers of Conckin Nipple, the guys outperforming

539
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag and he's just getting LaMelo Ball and Brandon

540
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: Miller back to take a little frigging attention for those

541
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: guys are playing some regular minutes. This guy has been rolling.

542
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 3: His percentage is forty eight, forty three from three and

543
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: ninety percent from the free throw line. You know, you

544
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: can look at some of those and say, oh, Cooper

545
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 3: Flag's not that far off his regular free world percentage.

546
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: He's way far lower on three point percentage. But when

547
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: you do the true shooting numbers, sixty four point four

548
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 3: percent true shooting versus fifty five point nine for Cooper Flag.

549
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag has hit a bit of a wall here,

550
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: maybe because it's more games than he played last year

551
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: in college, and he's hitting that wall while Conkin Nipple,

552
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 3: I think, is just absolutely rolling at this point. Now

553
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: it's all about the voters and what they think of

554
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag in general. But the Dallas Mavericks are in

555
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: this odd scenario here where they're not playing their point

556
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: guards again, like Ryan emhard. You know, just play three

557
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: minutes in the second half because Brandon Williams can't play it.

558
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: If they get Kyrie Irving back, maybe that helps Cooper flag.

559
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: But they have an odd scenario or Anthony Davis is

560
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 3: back and they don't know what's going on. Well, I

561
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: think the Hornets are getting back some strong players to

562
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 3: perform in the second half. I don't know if LaMelo

563
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: balls real history, is a good second half player. I

564
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: don't know if Hurting the yeah coming up, he's always

565
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: like that. But you know, we just showed, you know,

566
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: Kawhi and James Harden come together. Maybe Lamel can come

567
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 3: together for one year because he had him and Brandon

568
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: Miller have been hurt. So this just takes some pressure

569
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 3: off of Conker Nipple, who has been fantastic, not just

570
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 3: shooting the three, but putting it on the floor when

571
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: there's other guys have some sort of gravity on them.

572
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 3: He's so good to put it on the floor pulling

573
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: up in the mid range. So numbers are, you know,

574
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: similar if you just look at the raw numbers, but

575
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: this guy's way more efficient and we'll keep it up. Well,

576
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: I'm not sure Coop will be able to It's.

577
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: A good point about the voters, though, there's like somewhere

578
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: in the pity your stomach. I feel like for a

579
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: lot of these voters, with Cooper flag as the number

580
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: one pick and a guy that is projecting, I mean,

581
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: he does look like a future All Star All NBA

582
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: player that you almost like, you know, it's weird, like

583
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be looking at it just for the

584
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: rookie year, but you know somewhere deep down, and some

585
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: of them they're like, yeah, but he could be something

586
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: special special. It's like, well, let's get if it's so tight,

587
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: let's give it to him instead of conkinippll not that

588
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: con couldn't be that either, and a future multi time

589
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: All Star, Like, yeah, I get it. No, I think

590
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for Cooper right to get this

591
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: because the numbers aren't good too, and they and they, Yeah,

592
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: he hit a wall these last two games, but he

593
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: had his best stretch there before that, right, yeah.

594
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: For a week or two.

595
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I think it's a two game wall. Who knows.

596
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 3: But also maybe voters don't want to give Dallas another thing,

597
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: you know, maybe they just don't want it. Okay, he

598
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 3: got the first pick after making that crazy trade. We're

599
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 3: not giving you Rookie of the Year.

600
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: Who else on FanDuel Cooper flag minus six hundred to

601
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: win Rookie of the Year Conk Nipple plus five hundred.

602
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: So if your bad prediction comes true, Yeah, very heavy favorite. Yeah,

603
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: any thoughts on ROI right.

604
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: Now, Cooper is gonna win it, Okay, I mean no offense.

605
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: I do appreciate the take. It's going to be very

606
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: similar to Lebron versus Carmelo Anthony back in the day.

607
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: A Cooper is putting up Lebron's stats that's not seen

608
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: since an eighteen year old Lebron James as well. He's

609
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: cooled off in a couple of games here, but he

610
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: was like twenty two a game in his last eighteen

611
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: or something like that. He's playing really, really great. Carmelo

612
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: had a more successful team his rookie year. He was.

613
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: He outscored Lebron, he out rebounded Lebron. Obviously Lebron's got

614
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: him on. The assist percentages were better for Carmelo and

615
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: it went to Lebron. Yeah, pretty heavily. A good comparison here,

616
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: both Hall of famers. Yeah, out Anthony, you're happy about that?

617
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: What about you? T K Final one, Jason Tatum will

618
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: hit a playoff game winner? Okay this season? Okay, that's it.

619
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: He's coming back. He's gonna come back when I don't know.

620
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: I was hoping the Celtics had a game on March seventeenth,

621
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: the luck of the Irish.

622
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: They don't.

623
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh that'd be nice. Yeah, they got one on the

624
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: sixteenth and the eighteenth, and I don't think he wants

625
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: to come back for either of those. It's the Suns

626
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: and the Warriors. So how about Sunday March twenty ninth

627
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: against potential Rookie of the Year Konka Nipple in Charlotte,

628
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: very close to where Jason Tatum played his college basketball

629
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: at Duke University. He comes back after what like ten

630
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: months basically of rehabbing his achilles, of posting these videos,

631
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: of being very cute with his son, and he plays

632
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: the assisting guy like he's not the main driver of

633
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: the offense. Because the Celtics have been really, really good

634
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: this season. They're fourth in offense right now with Jalen

635
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: Brown leading the way, but adding Tatum is very very helpful.

636
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: He's a three point shooter, he's a playmaker. He's a rebounder.

637
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: The Celtics are going to be a playoff team. Man.

638
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: You know Tatum has the wherewithal to take these big shots.

639
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: So bring him back right at the end of the season.

640
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: Get his legs underneath them. Let him be the number three,

641
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: number four option out there. Jason Tatum is your fourth option.

642
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: That sounds pretty good to me. Playoff game winner on deck.

643
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I love it. Playoff game winner Tatum back. Do

644
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: it for Deuce, baby, I'll wrap this up.

645
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: It for Deuce is getting old. Yeah, holy crap.

646
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: You start to see these kids now, I don't like,

647
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: literally grown up with because we've seen them since they

648
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: were babies. What the hell time, man, it's time. My

649
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: final bold prediction. I'm taking us to the All Star

650
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: weekend tests. Shaden Sharp and VJ. Edgecombe are gonna save

651
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: the dunk contest.

652
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they're in it. If they

653
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: are in it.

654
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: We might actually have a good dunk contest, maybe even

655
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: the Thompson Twins. They do it, come on battle against

656
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: each other, try and dunkle over each other. But we

657
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: have obviously some incredible leapers in this league. If we

658
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: just get a couple of them in and and you

659
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: know what with these guys, the guys I'm listing, I

660
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: don't even we don't need props, we don't need anything.

661
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: Just go and do cool dunks and float in the air.

662
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: And just like you don't have to go wild with

663
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: like recreating these new dunks or anything like that.

664
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: I think we get back to basics.

665
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: It might actually work, but maybe I like, I don't

666
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: think Jalen Johnson would go in it, but that'd be

667
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: fun because he can leap. I think Brandon Miller has

668
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: crazy sort of not sneaky hops, but he's always throwing

669
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: down posters in game action. So I get a couple

670
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: of those guys I just listed, mainly Sharp and VJ. Edgecomb.

671
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: I think we just need too. We need two awesome

672
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: dunkers put on a good dunk contest. So I'm praying

673
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 1: that Sharp finally goes in this thing, and VJ Edcomb

674
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: I feel I have confidence that he might go in it.

675
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: So you know, the pipe dream is always Anthony Edwards

676
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: or John Morant.

677
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah right, it's not, yeah exactly.

678
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: If it hasn't happened at this point, it's not gonna happen.

679
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: So these other guys, and Sharp in his fourth year

680
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: almost seems too old, like he's.

681
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Almost he has to do it now, Yes, he has

682
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: to do it now.

683
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 2: It'll be Matt McClung again. He actually played in the

684
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: NBA this year, so invite him. I thought he said

685
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: he wasn't might crazy. I know he's like, oh, it's

686
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: fifty thousand. I guess I'll jump over something.

687
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: All right, we need I think the Thompson Twins interesting

688
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: and uh and VJ Edge coming. It would be really

689
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: j would be get Yeah, yeah, I would like to see.

690
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: We need Sharp. He's just like the guy sores man.

691
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: I guess go back and.

692
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: Bring him back Castle.

693
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a good, good contest last year.

694
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I can't wait to get excited terribly

695
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: disappointed for this.

696
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,320

Speaker 1: Okay, let's get to test his nominees for Worst of

721
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: the Week.

722
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen. The Worst of the Week free nominee

723
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: is first nominee for Worst of the Week. The Sun's

724
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: jail and Green being fined for twenty five thousand dollars

725
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: for cursing. What is this all about? We'll play you

726
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: the clip and just to set it up, this is

727
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: what it is. Cong Gillespie doing his postgame interview, Jalen

728
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: Green jumps in. He's yelling. You'll hear him yelling, and

729
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: then you'll hear Colin Gollspie talk back to him, and

730
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: then jell and Green respond to that. Here it is fine.

731
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god on live TV, Oh my god, I

732
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: don't care.

733
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't care. Jalen Green curses behind him, basically

734
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: showing support for his teammate, jumps in that postgame interview,

735
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: and he get fined for swearing. Now, I don't think

736
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: he gets fined if con Glespie doesn't say on live TV, yes,

737
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: he doesn't call it out. But I thought swearing in

738
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: sports was acceptable these days, because sometimes it is. Postgame

739
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: interviews were draw the line. They drew the line, I

740
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: assume because the interviewe said you can't do that basically.

741
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: So that was the strange thing call Lastie calling it out.

742
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 3: I just find it weird. Why is he getting fined

743
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: for that? Strange He's showing love for his fellow player.

744
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 3: It's weird. It's just weird. It's not like he's cursing

745
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 3: at anybody. It's in support of someone. Yeah, I find

746
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 3: it strange. I find it strange that James Jones came

747
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: down with this fine from the NBA league. Guy, Hey,

748
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: you can't do that.

749
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: You know. He wants to stick it to the Suns.

750
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 3: Ah right, that's why, exactly exactly his old team. I

751
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: didn't think about that.

752
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,800
Speaker 1: I was like, there's other players that have been fined

753
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: obviously for swearing here. I guess maybe Anthony Edwards last

754
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: year in the postseason got a hundred thousand dollars fifty

755
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars fine for swearing during a media interview, so

756
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't even on the floor there. And then j

757
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: dub got fine. He had to find something for wearing

758
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: a shirt that had an exploitive on so fuck yeah, yeah,

759
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't like it stop using profanity and

760
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: it cost him money.

761
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: But I think Jaalen Green cares.

762
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: You don't care, you make care care care.

763
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: That was pretty fun. That's funny, all right. Nominee number

764
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: two here it's this reporter's question for Kan Canipple. It's

765
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: a weird question here. It is sharing the floor of

766
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 3: Steph Curry Sye, that guy who kind of like pioneered

767
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: the three point shot in the NBA. Always liked to

768
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: share the floor with him, with a guy that you're

769
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: probably going to be compared to for the rest of

770
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 3: your career. Um, I don't know about that great response

771
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 3: from Fantastic. Why the reporter thinks that he'll always be

772
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 3: compared to Curry's odd it's in Charlotte.

773
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: Is three point shooting percentage as a rookie too, right?

774
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: Or wasn't specifically about that, but he said for your

775
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 3: whole career? Yeah, and yeah, this this is stuff playing

776
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: in Charlotte, in his hometown something something.

777
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: You know.

778
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm on camera. I talk a lot. Sometimes my

779
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: sentences go awry, and I think that's what happened to

780
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: this reporter. He was just basically said, talk about stuph

781
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 3: a little bit, and he kind of just.

782
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: He's like complimenting the nipple, but maybe just went too far.

783
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 3: I went too far. It just went to this. So

784
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: we've already.

785
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Compared to Camillo Anthony on this podcast, right, I think

786
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: it's more likely than god enough, maybe.

787
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 3: But the reporter wouldn't even do that Conkinipple's percentages after

788
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 3: look him up destroyed Camrallo Anthony destroyed him, but yeah,

789
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 3: maybe he would anyway. Kudos to Konk Nipple. He caught

790
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: it right there in the right there and even you

791
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 3: can see his facial recognition. You could see his face

792
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: do it?

793
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 5: What?

794
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: Uh so quick? What?

795
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: You know what he should have said, I'm actually having

796
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: a better rookie year than Steph Curry did too. That

797
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: it bed Baller. He's going to pass him for three pointers.

798
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 2: Steph Curry made one hundred and sixty six his rookie year.

799
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: Nipple's at one seventeen right now, forty three point seven

800
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 2: percent for Curry, forty three point two fork Nipple. So yeah,

801
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: I mean Curry wishes he could get on Ca Nipples level.

802
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Canipple is gonna by far and away set the

803
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: most three pointers for a rookie, kind of destroy Keikan

804
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: Murray's record from a couple of years ago. He's going

805
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 3: to pass that by far. Sticking with a little Warriors

806
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: twist here on number three, this nominee is just old

807
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors player Festus Zieli's outfit. You know, he

808
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 3: does broadcasting for the Golden State Warriors. If you're on

809
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: YouTube here, you'll see him in a sweater underneath the jacket,

810
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: and on top of that sweater is a tie, so

811
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: it looks strange. It's just the yellow. Yeah, it's a

812
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 3: goal old tie, a gold sweater on top of the sweater.

813
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: And then we'll see the pants here and the second photo,

814
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: which are these. I don't know if they're just a

815
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 3: casual pant. They almost look like a Kway track pant

816
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: kind of thing, which I guess.

817
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on there. Yeah, doing it all,

818
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: isn't he?

819
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? He is business swear. Yeah, so the whole thing

820
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: is odd, and that encouraged this great tweet describing it

821
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 3: all from Mike Bouvet, who said, festus zille I'm looking

822
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: for an outfit for work. The sales associate says which

823
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: profession festus Zilei replies, all of them. He's got a

824
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 3: lot going on again. Jacket or a sweater with a

825
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 3: tie on, that Kway pants that look like he's just

826
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: going to the mailbox.

827
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: What's up?

828
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 3: What's up with that?

829
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: Yeah?

830
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: When I first saw it going around Twitter or Blue

831
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: Sky is like, I like, people like making a big

832
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: deal out of his outfit, but like, if you don't

833
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: really look and see the tie.

834
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: I was like, what's the big deal, Like.

835
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen people wear he's under jackets, like,

836
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: it's not that crazy. But then you see the tie,

837
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: it's like wow, Okay, Yeah, you had to really stop

838
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: and look because it just blends in at first glance

839
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: to his hoodie.

840
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Somebody here on the stream team said if the

841
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: tie was tucked, it would be fine.

842
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: Noot, it wouldn't be good undern or hoodie underneath the blazer.

843
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: Not a good look. Yeah, but it wouldn't have gone viral. Agree,

844
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. That's my point. Yeah, that's almost like

845
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 2: back to the future Marty McFly wearing two ties in

846
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five or whatever year they end up going to, Well,

847
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: they go to twenty sixteen.

848
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: I think it's twenty twenty five.

849
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: It's when the cub Wow, when the cub's like, actually

850
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen.

851
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: Maybe they can because they go from eighty five to

852
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, thirty years in the future. Yeah, maybe, I

853
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: think that's what it's good. I think so too. Nonetheless,

854
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: Marty McFly was wearing two flies in the alternate future,

855
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: two ties, two ties at the same time. Yes, and

856
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: that's what this is like he's wearing two outfits at

857
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: the same time. One is a casual sports wear out

858
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: it and one is a man suit. He said, I'll

859
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: just do it all because because he has the dress

860
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: shirt on too.

861
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah he does, he does. Yeah. I didn't mention that possible.

862
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: Super cold in the studio, Like he came normal, just

863
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: as a businessman for life to the way and then

864
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: this cold put on this hoodie.

865
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 3: So he literally put on a sweater and then put

866
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: his jacket on.

867
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: Is that cold?

868
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 3: He's got a jacket. I don't think that's a problem.

869
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: To help him out, give him a reason. But you

870
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: know this comment of Festivus for the rest of us,

871
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: you know, pretty funny there from Joseph.

872
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: Was that on festivals that'd be amazing?

873
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so. I think it was after

874
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: this is look seems like a cool guy. Yeah, he's handsome,

875
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: very look good off. Too many, too many things nominees.

876
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: Let's hear who you think is the worst of the

877
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: week From Tasta's three nominees.

878
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: Whoa Boy of the Night?

879
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: Unsullied by sponsorship since twenty twenty five, Tyrese Maxie is

880
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: getting whoa boy? It was between him and Kawhi. This

881
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: was actually very difficult they had. You know, Kawhi had

882
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: more points. Maxi filled up the rest of the box

883
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: score and did shoot a little bit better. So I

884
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: wanted to show Maxi some love. Thirty four points tennis

885
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: is eight boards in a win over the Mavericks. Fourteen

886
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: to twenty four from the floor, four to ten from

887
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: deep and you are right TK sixteen three.

888
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 2: Point attempts for Kawhi.

889
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: He went six to sixteen and then Maxi added two steals,

890
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: two blocks plus eighteen as well in the victory and

891
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: dropped kill Martin. I think it was you see that highlight?

892
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, he blew by him and he dropped

893
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: him hot.

894
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, he was stumbling and there's a lot of

895
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: cool highlights in that one.

896
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: VJ.

897
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: Edgecumb had a double block. Yeah, oh yeah, that's amazing.

898
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 2: Left hand and then right hands. I think the seventy

899
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: six ers they should be trying to go west so

900
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: they can play more games in Dallas because they got

901
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi, he's a Texas guy, had an awesome game.

902
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: Vjash Gun played his college basketball in Texas as well,

903
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: had an awesome game. Even Quentin Grimes is a Texas guy. Wow,

904
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: and he's got some Dallas spite against him after the

905
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 2: trade last right, he had a good game, so maybe

906
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: they'll say, no, we want to be in the Western Conference.

907
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: Raise our rent, I want to grind harder.

908
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and dropping Cayla Martin who was traded for Quentin Grimes.

909
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: That's great, that's a fit for Dallas in twenty twenty

910
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 3: five pecks.

911
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: All right, pick them results from December. It came down

912
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: to the final game, like I could have maybe forced

913
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: a tiebreaker a couple nights ago, but man, the Spurs

914
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: came back got the victory over the Necks.

915
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: Did you see the ending ending of the game hitting

916
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: this week?

917
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: So what's crazy is the line was one and a

918
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: half for US Spurs favored. They had to win by two,

919
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: which they ended up doing after Brunton hit a corner three.

920
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: But that line had moved like that line was like

921
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: two and a half three and a half. So if

922
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: I had caught that line instead, that would have been

923
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: one of the most insane losses for you to give

924
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: us a tiebreaker because Brunson stole the ball and then

925
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: hit a corner three like pointless obviously, but covered in

926
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: the two and a half or three and a half scenario. Anyway,

927
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: I lost brutal record eight and thirteen, Trey ten and eleven,

928
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: and tassa really solid sixteen and five.

929
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 2: So I will have to pay.

930
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: Off December's pick them loss here and probably next.

931
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: Week we'll figure out what I'm doing.

932
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 3: Coop.

933
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's do it all over again. We're all

934
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: zero and zero tasks as we start the new year.

935
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: Where we're going.

936
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:41,399
Speaker 3: The prime doubleheader today is solid Nuggets, Kaz opens it up.

937
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go with that one just because

938
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 3: there's no yokere, so I went with the Thunder Warriors

939
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: matchup late at night. Okay, Golden State Warriors nine and

940
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 3: a half point dogs, Thunder got to win by ten

941
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: or more. So that's automatically you think, okay, I want

942
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: to take okay see. And that's why the two of

943
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: you guys took okay see.

944
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: I assume not a lot of guys playing for the Warriors, right,

945
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh that stinks. I think I'm pretty sure they're short

946
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: on potentially Steph Curry Draymond Green.

947
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: We STEP's not playing. I thought it, well, that'd be weird.

948
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 3: Then the line would should be one hundred. It should

949
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 3: be way bigger if if he wasn't playing.

950
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just Drayne.

951
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: I think they'd be fine handling some of the Their

952
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: size is a problem, but against okay, see it should

953
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: be they should be able to overcome that. I'd assume

954
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: you just need them to lose by nine or less.

955
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: Nine or less.

956
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, Trey, and I need a double digit

957
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 1: victory for the thunder here on January second.

958
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 3: Good luck to.

959
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: Us, good luck to us. They've been smoking teams lost

960
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 2: a couple of games to the Spurs, but since then

961
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 2: bat bounce back. Moon.

962
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: Okay, not too far off.

00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: We'll find out.

964
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: It is Friday, it's the drop. So let's do some

965
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: rapid fire questions. Trey, you got them, We got the answers.

978
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,920

984
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 3: It does not, although I did enjoy a lot. But

985
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,520

986
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,319

988
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:55,959

00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: there by somebody.

1056
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:20,680

Speaker 2: It's back in my life.

1060
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:31,719

00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 3: there right, No, it doesn't.

1063
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 2: It's super like a Ledger wallet as well. You know,

1064
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: let's merge all over aids. When I'm on the peloton

1065
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: is in my back pocket. It ain't ever coming out

1066
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: good stuff. What's something old school? You're bringing back.

1067
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 3: My record player which I just started using. It's nice,

1068
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 3: nice to physically put on music, actually actually use your

1069
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 3: hands to put on music. Will I be reluctant at

1070
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 3: some point because records are expensive? Maybe maybe you gotta

1071
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 3: give up a lot of cash to get one of

1072
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 3: those records.

1073
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 2: I got some cash wants.

1074
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's fun. But it's just fun.

1075
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 1: Part of the fun is like you gotta really really

1076
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: pick your spots with what you want to put your

1077
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: money into a buy album. Yeah, with obviously Spotify or Apples.

1078
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 2: I'll take it all.

1079
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 3: That's part of the whole venture. It's a hobby. So

1080

Speaker 4: it up to whatever apps you want.

1125
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: If you could still in the get emergency phone call,

1126
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: you can get texts, but you just you can't like

1127
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: just start flipping through or any social media.

1128
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 4: So we do it for the kids, Like we'll just

1129
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 4: brick their phones, gotcha. Yeah, then they can still their

1130
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 4: friends can still reach them, but they're not just mindlessly

1131
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 4: grolling because I pay for the phones, you know what

1132
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 4: I mean, So I brought those phone I want exactly.

1133
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: I've also saw people have started gray scaling their phones. Yeah,

1134
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: oh it's not as attractive. And like Moon was a

1135
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: stupid newspaper.

1136
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 3: I read that in the New York Times. Did you

1137
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 3: read that article.

1138
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 4: It was hilarious because the woman who wrote it is like,

1139
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 4: oh my this My screen time went down to six

1140
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 4: hours a day, and I was like, god, I went down.

1141
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 3: Man, that's a that's a lot. Whichever me. Mine's usually

1142
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 3: I don't know, two hours. I think that's what Zach

1143
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,399
Speaker 3: Harper did recently. He posts something that worries I got

1144
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 3: five hours, and I think he was saying it went

1145
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 3: down because he was proud of it. Okay, I mean,

1146
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 3: you know, if you're a journalist, you're on the phone

1147
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 3: a lot. But that's that's true, brick huh not an at.

1148
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 3: I pretended I pretended I was going to use the

1149
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 3: app Freedom I think it was called freedom like forever ago,

1150
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 3: forever ago. It was literally like twelve hours or twelve

1151
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,720
Speaker 3: years ago. I think when we did that that panel,

1152
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 3: it was like twelve years it was forever. When we

1153
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: did a panel with Zach Low, I pretended like my

1154
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 3: first answer was I'm going to start using freedom, and

1155
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 3: zactly what looked at me like what, You're literally going

1156
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 3: to stop watching basketball and just like lock yourself out

1157
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 3: of everything. I think when I want to and I

1158
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 3: want to write something or I want to do something,

1159
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to lock everything else. But I never used it,

1160
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 3: so hopefully I get back to it. It is. It's

1161
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 3: very very appealing a freedom, a brick, whatever you use.

1162
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, twenty twenty six has arrived. Give me

1179
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 3: Tests. Yeah, mine's connected. I need to play a role

1180
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 3: player game on Switch. Like I call it a role

1181
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 3: player game. I want something where I, you know, try

1182
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 3: and figure something out, then fail, then keep fighting, work

1183
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 3: a way through, you know. I brought this up recently

1184
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: and some people threw some games out, but I already

1185
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 3: forget what they were unfortunately. Like I looked them up,

1186
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 3: Metroid Prime four, Beyond whatever that is, Hates two, Hollow Night,

1187
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 3: and I think you can get back into the Zelda world.

1188
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 3: Yeah they're very good, awesome. Yeah, that was a fun time.

1189
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 3: I think I will end up it will end up

1190
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 3: being Zelda because I look at all these other ones.

1191
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 3: I don't want them to advance. They're like super advanced.

1192
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 3: The graphics are too much. I played Donkey Kong Bonanza,

1193
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: fun role playing type of game, but it's like it's

1194
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 3: too cool. It's too cool. Yeah, basically, well a little bit,

1195
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 3: just a little bit like Don Kong Bananza is just

1196
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 3: you start every level, you just punch the crap out

1197
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 3: of everything. That's all you do. You just punch everything.

1198
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 3: But awesome, right, they look super cool and it is

1199
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 3: role playing type of thing. But I need more of

1200
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 3: a goal every time. I sure, I don't want to

1201
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 3: be a docy con and just punching everything. So anyway,

1202
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 3: if everybody's got a great suggestion.

1203
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 2: Let me go together too.

1204
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 3: I look that up in the kitchen.

1205
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: Let's make it work this time.

1206
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: So many okay, so suggestions for task, yeah, throw them

1207
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: in there.

1208
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 3: It's got to be on switch though yet. Yeah, I

1209
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: don't have the PlayStation five fan. I hear you. I

1210
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 3: hear you. I don't have a comp I don't sit

1211
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: at my desk. I don't have a gamer chair. I

1212
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 3: don't think I'm ever going to do that.

1213
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 2: I think you'll ever have a gamer chair. I thought

1214
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 2: about it twenty twenty seven. Maybe when your party was

1215
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,919
Speaker 2: giving it. Are you playing it on your television or you? Yeah? Yeah,

1216
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 2: not a handheld. I think the handles are yeah, it is,

1217
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 2: but I think the angle that you have to hold it,

1218
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: it makes my hands falseleep, Yeah, okay, what a softy risk.

1219
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 3: JD. This is never going to happen.

1220
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 4: But this is what I want to do is put

1221
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 4: myself on a minute's restriction so I can do this.

1222
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: The whole thing is like do less. Can't find me, that's.

1223
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 4: Right, that's exactly right. Well, I've worked too much, that's it.

1224
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 4: You know, I just do too much. So I want

1225
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 4: to like just do forty hours a week.

1226
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 3: You know.

1227
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: Okay, that's all I want to do. That's not gonna happen,

1228
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 4: but that's what I want. I want to do less.

1229
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 4: I want to like clock out like were you work

1230
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,320
