00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: all back here in the Factory to share some NBA

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: weekend winners and losers. I feel like we have a

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: lot to get to, as we usually do on Monday,

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: so let's jump right into our winners TK get us started.

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: Who's your big winner of the NBA weekend?

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: Gotta be the Memphis Grizzlies get the winner of the

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: weekend from me. Two very quality wins for Memphis over

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: the weekend. They beat the Lakers in LA on Friday,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: and then they beat the Suns yesterday in Phoenix with

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: no John Morant. He was out with a shoulder injury

26
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: that apparently happened at some point against the Lakers on Friday,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: but they don't really know when Friday night it was.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: They smacked down. They ran the Lakers completely out of

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: the gym, had Lebron saying we just suck right now

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: in post game. Memphis hit a season high twenty three

31
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: three pointers in this game, eight from Marcus Smart, five

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: from Jaron Jackson Junior, five from Desmond Baine, a couple

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: from Zaire Williams, who I think also caught one hundred

34
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: ally oops in this game. I don't know if he

35
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: made a shot that wasn't either a three pointer or

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: an alley oop. He was playing well in his hometown.

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: On Sunday, the Grizzlies came back from down eleven in

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter to beat the Suns, who have some injuries,

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: but they had their big three out on the court

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: together with Kevin Durant returning to the lineup. Memphis held

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: Phoenix to eighteen points in the fourth quarter. Jaron Jackson

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: Junior again was great in this one, twenty eight points,

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: ten rebound, six assists. Desmond Bain went for twenty three

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: to five and five, and Marcus Smart another good game

45
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: twenty five six and eight, went four for thirteen from three.

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: It's the first time all season he's hit four or

47
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: more threes and back to back games. Of course, he

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 3: went oh four, I think thirteen in the three games previous,

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: but you have to be encouraged if you're a Grizzlies

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: fan that Smart is at least on the hot side

51
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: of his streak, because it has not been a great

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: season thus far for Marcus Smart after the trade. But

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 3: Memphis to do it all right. They were six and

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: nineteen during John Morant's suspension. They're seven and four sins

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: even though he didn't play in the win against the

56
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: Suns on Sunday. That's a thirty six and twenty one

57
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: pace over the final fifty seven games of the season,

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: which would put them at forty to forty play in

59
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: tournament probably, but that means they have to stay completely

60
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: healthy for the rest of the season, which Obviously John

61
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: isn't healthy right now, but they pulled off a win.

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: It's a lot less intimidating to take one game without

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: John Morant and twenty five games, which I think is good.

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: And then they have to keep playing pretty well because

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: the defense is looking okay, they're hitting some threes. I

66
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: think they did have a hot shooting weekend. Not what

67
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: you'd necessarily expect from the Grizzlies, but they certainly look

68
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: better and more energized since Jos returned to the lineup.

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: It's good pick.

70
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: It is.

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: The Western Conference is just tough. Every single team that

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 4: you would play in that conference, even the Spurs at

73
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: five and thirty, I don't care. We're talking about the

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 4: Grizzlies here and them sitting in thirteenth right now being

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: a very tough team.

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, they got a.

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: Little lucky on Friday night with all those threes coming

78
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: down with Marcus Smart.

79
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: This is the worst three.

80
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: Point shooting team in the NBA. And then they come

81
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: in to the Lakers and Marcus Smart, who had missed,

82
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: as you said, his last sixteen consecutive three pointers, he

83
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: hits eight. What Jarring Jackson Junior with the five to

84
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: band with the five. Yeah, so twenty three total. I

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: think it was the man head coach, Taylor Jenkins that

86
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: made this happen. In the third quarter when he got

87
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 4: pissed off that a call wasn't made, he jumped out

88
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: to the court and he hit Torrian Prince by accident

89
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: got into the way there, and so he got a

90
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: technical foul, and he said that it kind of inspired

91
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: his team. They kicked the Lakers, but in that fourth

92
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: quarter is a close game to the fourth quarter, and

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: they won the fourth by fourteen, So they're playing hard

94
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: even without jaw.

95
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: They go get another w.

96
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're wondering how far back they are

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: from a potential playing game four and a half right

98
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: now from the tenth seeded Lakers, who did pick up

99
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: a win over the weekend against the Clippers, a much

100
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: needed win to stop the bleeding there. But you got

101
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: the Warriors, you know, falling apart here. You know the

102
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Suns that they just beat. That's a team they are chasing.

103
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: They're a little bit more ahead. And then the Jazz

104
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: are playing great basketball too, so they're within this mix too.

105
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're gonna be fighting for this. They got

106
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a long road still ahead. Of them, but it sure

107
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: helps with some of those teams above them not playing

108
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: all that well and struggling and losing. So yeah, the Grizzlies,

109
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: with or without Jaw right now playing they're probably their

110
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: best basketball. They just have the weirdest home and road

111
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: split going right now. They're three and thirteen the Memphis

112
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Grizzlies at home in that in that barn that we

113
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, compared to a college like atmosphere, three and

114
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: thirteen a very solid ten and ten on the road.

115
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna take five hundred, especially missing drummer,

116
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: and for a bunch of those games. So maybe get

117
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: some of these wins at home going here, you're you

118
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna be right back in the mix.

119
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: If I were a Grizzlies fan, I would be saying

120
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: that's a positive thing that they've been so bad for

121
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: the first half of the season, now that they should

122
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: be trending upwards, getting their superstar backed, perhaps some more

123
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: parades in their city. Though, that Taylor Jenkins thing was

124
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: one of the funniest things in the NBA this entire season.

125
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: The way he jumps out in front of Torrean Prince

126
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: was funny. But then he gets so mad when he's

127
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: arguing the call. Not a lot of ways for him

128
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: to show his displeasure. So he unzipped his quarter zip

129
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: as hard as he could, but he doesn't go very well.

130
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: So he goes out to the middle here Jesse, but

131
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: he left a gaping open for the rest of the game.

132
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: He was hot under the collar. Literally.

133
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: We've seen a bunch of NBA players over the years

134
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: rip their jersey. We got to see a coach go

135
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 1: zip and then rip right go home. That would be cool.

136
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: I'd love to see that. Well.

137
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: I think he a lot with a lot of other

138
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: coaches are just pissed that they have to wear quarter zips.

139
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: What am I wearing?

140
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: They don't have to well, they don't have to be.

141
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: Part of It's either a quarter zip or a full sweater.

142
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 2: You can't. We can't wear a suit.

143
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: You can't. Well you can.

144
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: It's it's not illegal. Somebody's gonna go back. Somebody's gonna

145
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: this guy looks great.

146
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Well like the other night, Uh, maybe well last week

147
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: at some point. Garrett Temple, who is on the Raptors bench,

148
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: you doesn't play a lot, but he was injured and

149
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: he's out there. He's in a full suit and he's

150
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: the one that looks like the coach because you're right,

151
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: everybody else is in these these zips and hoodies and

152
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But uh yeah, who's gonna be the

153
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: first coach who has the balls to go back to

154
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: the suit game.

155
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: It'd be great.

156
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: So, I mean, even's.

157
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: Happened, I totally agree.

158
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do think Taylor Jenkins literally came out onto

159
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: the floor to bump somebody or just just to really

160
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: get his team just.

161
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: Up for this fourth quarter, to wake them up. Yeah,

162
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: why on earth would else would he be on the floor.

163
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: He came out onto the floors.

164
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: But it obviously worked there. So Grizzlies gets us started here.

165
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I like that task. Who do you have a as

166
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: a winner?

167
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: Well, the Knicks, the New York Knicks, because we talked

168
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: about the first batch of All Star votes coming in

169
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: last week and how their fans weren't voting for their

170
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: All Stars. But this weekend, their all stars had two

171
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: good games and they even went into Philadelphia and their

172
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: fans were chanting go New York, Go New York as

173
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: they ropped the Philadelphia seventy six ers. They did, and specifically,

174
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: let's get to their All Stars because Jalen Brenon is

175
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: going to be there. And what I like about this

176
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: New York Next team since they got oj Anoby, the

177
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: floor is open now for both Jalen Brunson and Julius

178
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: Randol because Og just stand in the quarter shoots them threes.

179
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: Dante Divinceenzo, our new shooting guard, just shoot threes and

180
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: that's all he did against the Philadelphia seventy six Ers

181
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: only shot threes, hit four of them. But then after

182
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: Miles McBride, their new backup point guard, hit a couple threes.

183
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: In the first quarter, it was the Jalen Brunton show.

184
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 4: In the second quarter, he looked different, I thought, because

185
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: the the floor is all open. He was barrowing to

186
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: the rim, going through guys. Jalen Brunson, this shorter player

187
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: being able to do that, the pull up three and

188
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: then the fake pull up three, and being able to

189
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: get to his spots even along the baseline. It looked

190
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: like Julius Randall shooting along the baseline. It looked like Dallas.

191
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: Jalen bruns It out there. He had twenty nine overall,

192
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: he had sixteen in that second quarter. They romped the

193
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: Sixers in that first game, absolutely romped Josh Hart off

194
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: the bench. Was a plus forty six.

195
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: How does that happen? Big number? That's huge.

196
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: He double digit rebounds for that guy, and Jalen Brudson

197
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,119
Speaker 4: and him joking about it after the game, the Villanova

198
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: bros doing it there. But I thought even though Julis

199
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: Renald didn't have a good game there, he wasn't good.

200
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: The next night he had thirty nine against the Washington Wizards.

201
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: Again he's barreling into guys. He's just a big dude.

202
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: And so now that there's space, he's showing that thirteen

203
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: free throws, going extremely hard to the rim. And he's

204
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: taking down his threes a little bit this year. Olough,

205
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: he's getting him up right now. Nearly half of his

206
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 4: shots last year were threes. Now it's like a quarter

207
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 4: of his shots.

208
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Much better balance.

209
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: It's about like him.

210
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's just there's honestly, there's room on the floor.

211
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: Brunton had thirty three. Grimes is hitting his threes. Issiya

212
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 4: Heartenstein is playing awesome as a center, even though he

213
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: doesn't shoot the threes. Tom Thibeau doesn't have to play

214
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: Todje Gibson, which is pretty cool.

215
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: He's gone. Yeah.

216
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, releasing him and the Mitchell Robinson thing. You'd think

217
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: was a problem because he's been injured. It hasn't been

218
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: because Hert and Segin's been awesome. They've won four since

219
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: Ogn Andobi came. He averaged ten points this weekend, So

220
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: it makes me think I can't wait to see how

221
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: much that contract is worth because he doesn't really have

222
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: to score for this team at all, and they're only

223
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: two and a half games.

224
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: Back in the Philadelphia seventy six ers, so they have found.

225
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 4: A perfect Thibodeaux balance, So I'm really looking forward to

226
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: if they could, If they could, there's an outside chance

227
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: that they catch the Philadelphia seventy six ers, especially with

228
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 4: MB being a little little bumped miss a game this weekend.

229
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a three way tie right now basically

230
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: for the fourth seed in terms of like hosting or

231
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: first round series. The Magic, the Cavs, and the Knicks

232
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: are all twenty one and fifteen, and the Knicks have

233
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: the longest win streak in the NBA right now at

234
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: four straight games. Haven't lost, like you said, since Og

235
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: came over, and it's clicking and he has he has

236
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: slotted in absolutely perfect to what they needed a defensive

237
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: minded guy that you can put in the corner and

238
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: he can still knock down the three and opens things up.

239
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're rolling.

240
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: So is he cool? So I wonder if he's cool?

241
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: You keep bringing that up.

242
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: I want to know.

243
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: I mean, because with the Raptors, it's always been he

244
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: wants to score more, he wants shoot Moore, he wants

245
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: the ball in his hands more. And in this case,

246
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 4: it ain't gonna be in his hands. No, I bet

247
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: he's totally fine with it. And he's a great addition.

248
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 4: As long as CIA says at the end, at the

249
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: end of the season, all right, next payoff. Yeah, as

250
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 4: long as they pay off, because the Brunton contract isn't huge,

251
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 4: the RAIDL contract isn't huge. This contract they assign McBride

252
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: to isn't huge. That they don't pay their centers all

253
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 4: a lot, so he could get paid away.

254
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.

255
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. I would like

256
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: to give Jason Tatum specifically, but the entire Celtics team

257
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: a winner of the weekend. They played two games. Boston

258
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: did Friday night in Utah took care of business, and

259
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: then Saturday a back to back situation having to fly

260
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to Indiana. They did an incredible job at slowing down.

261
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, the red hot Indiana Pacers who were on

262
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: a six game win streak, who had just put up

263
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: I believe, one hundred and fifty points against the Hawks.

264
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: We're scoring all these points. They held them to one

265
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: hundred and one. Yes, in today's NBA that is holding

266
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: a team to very few points. Caitlin Cooper, who is

267
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: one of the probably brightest minds on NBA Twitter, on

268
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: NBA X she shared an awesome clip illustrating how special

269
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: this Celtics defense is. It's breaking down a specific play

270
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: where Drew Holiday plays center in like the two to

271
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: three zone that they start in, and he's just responsible

272
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: for all the cutters, Like he's like he's like a

273
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: traffic cop, like directing all the guys out there, like

274
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: where to go, who's cutting?

275
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: Here we go?

276
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: Or like a quarterback just seeing everything. And then they

277
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: morphin to like this man on man defense when the

278
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: ball crosses the free throw line. It's awesome. They're just

279
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: elite defensively. I know they're second in the league behind

280
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: the walls. I don't think it's going to be all

281
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: that long until they jumped them. With the way they're

282
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: playing over the last month, I believe they are the

283
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: best defense Boston is. But to hold the Pacers to

284
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: a season low one hundred and one points, to out

285
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: rebound them seventy to forty two in a game where

286
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: your center played six minutes like Porzingis left this game

287
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: with like an eye laceration, and they still kicked ass

288
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: They're just like, they're unbelievable right now. They rank second

289
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: in the league in offense and defense, number one in

290
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: net rating, and you're getting Tatum in this game thirty

291
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: eight points, thirteen boards, six assists. He shot eight of

292
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: fourteen from deep. That's sort of been the one thing

293
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: that's like been his achilles heel right a three point shooting.

294
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: It comes and goes. It had not been here for

295
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: most of this season, but he caught fire. The pull

296
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: up was money. And this guy, it's wild that he's

297
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth in most MVP rankings. He's on the

298
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: best team. He's the best player on the best team.

299
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he should be much much higher,

300
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: because that's just like the guys that we have in

301
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: this league are that good. But he's just scoring like

302
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: he's thirty points, five boards, five assists. It feels like

303
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: every game now. And the Celtics, man, he needs to

304
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: like not worry about a regular season MVP. That guy

305
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: needs to go get a finals MVP because this team

306
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: is going to be in the mix. The way they're

307
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: playing right now, that defense is scary when they're locked in.

308
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But the Celtics to me are kind of

309
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: a proven in the playoffs team because at this point,

310
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: great article up on The Athletic explaining, like literally, Jason

311
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: Tatum has been so good for so long that he

312
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: doesn't get a lot of prop sure, because he's almost

313
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: on too good of a team and his numbers have

314
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 3: been this good for kind of the entirety of his career.

315
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: I agree with you. The three point shooting, it's so

316
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 3: up and down, and the reason Tatum's percentages are bad

317
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: is because that guy takes so many tough shots where

318
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 3: he just settles uh for shots. But when he's rolling,

319
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: he's really good. In the Celtics, obviously, with only seven

320
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: losses so far this season, the only team that still

321
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: has single digit losses. Yeah, they're the best. And I

322
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: saw I think it was Michael d. Sikes on Twitter,

323
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: mentioning that Joe Missoula was the Drew Holliday for his

324
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 3: West Virginia College team, being that middle guy in the

325
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: zone and dat it up. So he's probably like, I

326
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 3: could be you man, I could have been. You didn't

327
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: have the offense though, that makes sense. I was wondering

328
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: why Luke Cornette was playing so much against the Pacers

329
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: because I saw him go to the free throw line

330
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 3: and do the ice in my veins celebration for making

331
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: a free throw in the third quarter.

332
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: That's right, corn Man, It's hard to do.

333
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: This guy's a human meme, he is. That's why they

334
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: keep him around Good Spirits.

335
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and they are totally invested. They're paying a

336
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: lot in their top five. And so the question here

337
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: as the trade deadline comes up, are they going to

338
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: go get somebody for the bench to help out? Al

339
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: Horford and Brad Stevens is saying that they may, but

340
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 4: it's just they have invested so much in Christops Porzingis

341
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: Andrew Holliday. Those guys don't get the credit that that

342
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: Tatum and Jalen Brown do, and even Derek White do.

343
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: The All Star voting is crazy when you think about

344
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: it that way, all five Celtics are there on this ballot,

345
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: but you know the three big those three that I

346
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: just mentioned are far lower than and Tatum and Brown

347
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: and Tatum is I think he just got bigger and

348
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: stronger for the playoff, just to have the endurance to

349
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 4: be able to go from now when there they look great,

350
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: to be able to get great shots, and to be

351
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: able to bully guys in the postseason win.

352
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.

353
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: But this team, yeah, they should be really at the

354
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: favorite spot the way they do it every single game.

355
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Let's do another round of winners of the NBA weekend.

356
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 3: Who you got t k Another round of a guy

357
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: who's gonna make the All Star team this year. Pollo Boncaro.

358
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: Two huge performances and two nice wins for the Magic

359
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: over the weekend. He had the first triple double of

360
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: his career on Friday against the Nuggets thirty two points,

361
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: ten rebounds, eleven assists. He went fifteen of nineteen from

362
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: the free throw line, hit the game winning free throws

363
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: as well. We knew that's been a little bit of

364
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: a bugaboo for Pollo early in his career. Not a

365
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: super high percentage three point or a free throw shooter,

366
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: but knocking them down in a clutch situation. You'd love

367
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: to see that. Follow that game up with thirty five points,

368
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: ten rebounds, four assists, three steals, a block, and four

369
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: to seven from three against the Hawks on Sunday. This

370
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: one went into overtime. Bon Caro scored eight points in

371
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: the overtime period. Hawks scored five. These are both clutch

372
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: wins for the Magic, both without Franz Wagner. It was

373
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: Polo out there, it was Cole Anthony out there trying

374
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: to generate any kind of shots that they could on

375
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: the offensive end. And then they're closing these games with

376
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: Chumo O'cake, Gogo Bataz, Caleb Houston, Mo Wagner, and Treveling Queen.

377
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: A literal who's who of NBA players. Career high twenty

378
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: five points and seven threes for Caleb Houston against the

379
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: Hawks yesterday. This has been impressive stuff from Bonkaro in

380
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: his last five games. He's ever been thirty three a

381
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: game with nine rebound, six assists, shooting forty five from

382
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: the field and forty two from the three point line.

383
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: Like I said, career high forty three against the Sacramento

384
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: Kings first triple double against Denver. Orlando's currently tied for

385
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Right now, this guy,

386
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: Absolute Locke is an All Star. I love watching him play.

387
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: He is fun to watch. He should be an All Star.

388
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, he'll have to be selected,

389
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: of course by the coaches, but he should be there,

390
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: especially with his team being so good. What I love

391
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: about this stretch that he's on here, Like the magic

392
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: started on fire this year, caught everybody by surprise. We're like, whoa,

393
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: are they good? Now they'll fall back to earth, right,

394
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: And then they started to remember they had like a

395
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: four game losing streak. Started like okay, that was a

396
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: great story for a little while. But then he sort

397
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: of just went up a level, I think, and then

398
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: has got them going again here. I know they had

399
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: like a three game stretch that over there on the

400
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: West Coast trip. They're playing good teams and they lost

401
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: a couple, but man, he's like single handedly, you know,

402
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: pulling them to some of these victories here to keep

403
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: them again in the four spot in the playoff mix,

404
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: and like it doesn't feel like they're going to be

405
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: a playing team like it's gonna be a playoff team.

406
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: Whether they're hosting or not, we'll see. But he's awesome.

407
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Trace Fundus hell to watch and he's

408
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: so young still.

409
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: He was phenomenal. But he got a lot of good

410
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: help from his teammates, as you mentioned huge, Yeah, Mo

411
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: Wagner nineteen and eleven that game because they have eighteen centers,

412
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: but they couldn't play no Goga, no Wendell Carter. Having

413
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 4: all the centers kind of paid off of that one.

414
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: And you mentioned Caleb Houston seven threes, a career high

415
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 4: twenty five points. Shout out to Mississauga. He's a Canadian

416
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 4: bro forgotten Canadian is forgot Canadians.

417
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Saga is getting some rep.

418
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Great weekend for Saga, Barrett.

419
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, people don't know. There's too many Canadians in the league.

420
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: There's so many. And Jalen Suggs was essentially the starting

421
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 4: point guard in this game because you know they're playing

422
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: with different things. But I love Jalen suggs celebration. He's

423
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 4: the only guy who celebrates like this with the tongue out,

424
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: bends the back backwards and then just flicks his arms

425
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: like an inflatable.

426
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: Nobody else does that.

427
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 4: It's kind of like a Marc Gasol doing the the.

428
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

429
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 4: But but he did twice, and he went to the

430
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 4: bench and he did it again because he bends this

431
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 4: back all the way backwards. Jalen Sugs. Yeah, obviously great defensively,

432
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: but he was essentially the starting point guard because yeah, sugs,

433
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 4: uh folks back, but he's coming off the bench. And

434
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 4: then it took Anthony Black out of the starting up

435
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 4: as well. They got a lot of point gus, they

436
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 4: got a lot of center. So this team is just

437
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: it's just damn good.

438
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: Suggs better be on an All defensive team this year,

439
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: like in one, at least a second team. He should

440
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: probably be on the first team.

441
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: I know.

442
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: It always like takes her year or two for sometimes

443
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: the voters to like catch on to how talented a

444
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: defender is. He is awesome. He gets like the toughest

445
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: assignment of whatever the guard is. And he's done so

446
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: many times this year where you check the bosser you're like, oh,

447
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: that that All star, that superstar. Oh they had a

448
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: quiet game. Yeah, he's a big reason why he goes

449
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: at it on that end. So great game from him,

450
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: great game from Pellow. Like you said there, Trey as

451
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: a winner of the Weekend TK.

452
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: They're so tough. I think for Sugs to make All

453
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: Defense just because there's a lot of good guards, like

454
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: you mentioning Drew Holliday, he's definitely gonna make it. Derek White,

455
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 3: he'll probably make it. Caruso, he'll make it. I mean,

456
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 3: it's gotta be tough, That's what I said.

457
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: It does usually take another year for like to sort

458
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: of get the accolade. You know, he'll get votes this year.

459
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he cracks it, maybe he doesn't. But then I

460
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm almost I'll call my shot now. Jaellen Suggs will

461
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: be on the two thousand, what twenty four to twenty

462
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: five All Defensive Team? All right, all right.

463
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: I also one thing I else didn't like from Jalen Suggs,

464
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: but it's mostly because I liked it from Trey Young.

465
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: And this one. Trey Drew Sugs his sixth foul in

466
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, a savvy veteran move. He's like, he's

467
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: up on me, I'm gonna angle into him. Foul called

468
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: and Trey Young just starts pointing at his head. That's

469
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: gonna be the new taunt too smart, too smart for you?

470
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 3: Too smart? You like when you're using savvy rather than strength.

471
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: You could do that pumf fake you scoring it up

472
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: and under too smart, It's gonna catch off.

473
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: I like it. Trey does that every single game. I mean,

474
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: he's smart in the way he drives fouls.

475
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: True, he's infuriating to some as well. For sure, Who

476
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: do you have for another winner?

477
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: I'm giving one to Victor Wenbinyab Because the Santoni Spurs,

478
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: they're sitting at.

479
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: Five and thirty.

480
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: They are fifteenth in the Western Conference. They're dead last.

481
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 4: So you think at this point.

482
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they're dead.

483
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe us Sikos aren't gonna have fun watching the

484
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: Spurs the rest of the season.

485
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: But uh uh, Victor.

486
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 4: Wembenyam brings them back to life because even though he's

487
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 4: on a minute restriction, he came back in a game

488
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: last week, laid in the game and just jumped off

489
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: the bench and said, I'm not being called in because

490
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: I'm at my minutes restriction, but came in and played.

491
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 4: Popovich said he liked that.

492
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: After the game.

493
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 4: He said, yeah, I like how he's showing he wants

494
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: to play hard. And then he goes up against Jadistata

495
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: Koumpo and has a great game. He does it against stars,

496
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: that's what he does. He went up against Kevin Durant,

497
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 4: the guy that he followed as a kid growing up

498
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: in this game earlier this season, and then this weekend

499
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 4: he had to go up against Jared Allen, who's been

500
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: balling for the Cavs.

501
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: He's on fire. He should be a winner of the Weekend.

502
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: He's been so so good. And he went down to

503
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 4: the wire with Jared Allen and the Caves. The Spurs

504
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: did lose, but he blocked Jared Allen one time. Twenty

505
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: four points, ten rebounds and five blocks. Guy's got a

506
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: hundred blocks in his first thirty five games, first person

507
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 4: to do that since Sean Bradley in ninety three. So

508
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: he's blocking shots. But the thing is, it's gonna come

509
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 4: down to the wire for Rookie of the Year because

510
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: he's been that good. Can he be Rookie of the

511
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: Year when your team is that bad?

512
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: Usually yeah, Usually, usually yes, no problem, will give you

513
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Rookie the Year. But it's gonna be different this year

514
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: for sure because Chet ready for the debate.

515
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: Chet is damn good. Yeah, and that's the reason why

516
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 4: it's going to be a two man contest. But I

517
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: think this is going to be a two man competition

518
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 4: that's going to go down to the wire because right now,

519
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: when Minyama leads in points, rebounds, blocks, and steals nineteen ten,

520
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 4: three point three blocks and one point two steals, so

521
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: he's leading rookies in all four of those, and he's

522
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 4: making the Rookie of the Year race fun. And even

523
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: though Home Groun's on a winning team, one, Minyama is

524
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: gonna get his he's gonna get his flowers, and he's

525
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 4: probably gonna help win some games when this minutes minutes

526
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: restriction is just abolished, get rid of it. It's no

527
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: longer needed. Also, a winner of the weekend, even though

528
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: even though they lost and they are five and thirty,

529
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 4: which is just fun to say, a five and thirty team,

530
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to go to France this week, so

531
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 4: he's a winner. The team that he's playing, the Calves,

532
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 4: they're going to play the Brooklyn Nets this week. They

533
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: already got on a plane, they're.

534
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: Already We've got a Paris game this week Thursday.

535
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll be watching it on playback. A nice

536
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 4: afternoon game.

537
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.

538
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: I love an afternoon game.

539
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 3: But that's nuts.

540
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: Who caps they're sending Jared Allen over. Yeah, good thing.

541
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: He's balling right now. Guy's averaging like twenty one and

542
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: sixteen over his last couple of games. No, the Nets

543
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: are not. They just had an entertaining game against against

544
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: the Blazers.

545
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're in that.

546
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 4: They're in that fourth place tie for with everybody at

547
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: twenty one and fifteen, even though they don't get the

548
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 4: h the accolades. I think Donovan Mitchell's gonna try and go.

549
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: Off in France.

550
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 4: He's gonna try and drop a forty spot.

551
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: That could happen. I could happen.

552
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: So you're a little surprised though that the Spurs and

553
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: Wemby not being sent for the Paris game.

554
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: No, but I'm happy for him. He gets the chill.

555
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 4: I mean, is obviously his ankle's got some problems. It

556
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: is a little surpridate. No, yeah, his ankles are fine,

557
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: but he doesn't have to do everything for his family

558
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: and get together with this family and all that.

559
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking.

560
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: Everybody's been talking about him literally for nine months since he.

561
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: Was drafted and it's it's been tiring.

562
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: I love the guy. Chill.

563
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: Does he have to get on a plane and go

564
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 4: to France? Naw, He's doing great. I mean those numbers

565
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 4: that he leads in points, rebounds, blocks, and steels, but

566
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: he could be playing a lot more minutes. It's not

567
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: like he's just putting them in just to fill up

568
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: the box score because he's played forty minutes.

569
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: He's not even playing thirty minutes a game.

570
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's awesome that Chet Holmgren is playing

571
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: the way he is because we have a Rookie of

572
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: the Year race because imagine, you know, imagine Chet never

573
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: gets injured and plays last year and obviously then isn't

574
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: in consideration for a Rookie of the Year this year.

575
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this would be a rap like it would

576
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: be I mean, it would have been over like within

577
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: the first week. Okay, Wemby's winning Rookie the Year. But

578
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a race. There's gonna be a lot

579
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: of debates, there's gonna be you know, the counter is

580
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna be well, yeah, put Chet on the spurs right now,

581
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: and he probably has the exact same amount of numbers

582
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: that Wemby does. Because he'd have more of a role

583
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: like he's being he's not asked to do as much.

584
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: Then the counter to that is, well, yeah, he's not

585
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: being asked to do as much, so Wemby has to

586
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: do more. That's what we're gonna hear here for a

587
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: couple of months. But it's more entertaining than just being

588
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: over in the first month. Roy Baby can't wait to

589
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: break it all down.

590
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: You don't think we would be having a big debate

591
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: about Victor Wembenyama versus him Hawkins.

592
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: Maybe we would try to.

593
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: It would be it would be a lesser version of

594
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: what's going on now. We would look at how he's

595
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: contributing to a running team.

596
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: We would try to We would try to try. Yeah,

597
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: you wouldn't really believe it when you were.

598
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 3: Saying, I am a dreading a little bit. Rookie versus

599
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: sophomore argument take place in March, of course, but we'll

600
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: get to see, you know, Donovan Mitchell wareing a hoodie.

601
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: Sure's again. That'll be exciting.

602
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I did say that he's leading the lead.

603
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: He's leading all the rookies and all those big categories.

604
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: He's also leading all the NBA players in blocksberg game,

605
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 4: which is kind of neat three point three blocks per game.

606
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: I think his block percentage right now is nine point eight,

607
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: which means he blocks a shot one out of every

608
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: ten possessions. It's good, That's pretty.

609
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: Chris's pretty well all right. I will give my final

610
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: winner of the weekend lots to pick from still, and

611
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: I know you're letting us know who we missed in

612
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: the stream team or in the comments or tweet at

613
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: us at not ding Sink, but I'm going the Dallas

614
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: Mavericks for a winner of the weekend. Two home wins

615
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: for the MAVs this weekend. Kyrie scored twenty four with

616
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Luca out in the first game, they finished their sweep

617
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: of the Blazer's dominant victory one thirty nine, one oh three.

618
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: They were missing the Mavericks like six other guys in

619
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: this game too, like there was no Derek Lively. The

620
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: second there was no Grant Williams, like I said, no Luca,

621
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: and they still took care of business, everybody contributing, led

622
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: by Kyrie. I don't think he played in the fourth

623
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: corner because it was a rap early. And then on

624
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: Sunday Luca came back and Kyrie continued to play great.

625
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: He shot fourteen to twenty seven, six of eight from deep,

626
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: and two of those threes were huge. He hit a

627
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: game tying one with about three minutes to go, and

628
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: then he after a couple sort of possessions, he sort

629
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: of coughed the ball up actually, and it went to

630
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: go Bear and Kyrie said, give me that back and

631
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: stole it right back from him. The shot clock reset,

632
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: he made his way to the corner, the ball found

633
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: its way to him and he splashed that one too,

634
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: to give them a little bit more room there, and

635
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: so they went on to win. Luca had thirty four

636
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: points what he does, twelve of twenty six shooting. But

637
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: these two here, you know, Kyrie missed a chunk of time.

638
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: Mavericks kept their head above water, mainly because of Luca

639
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: and obviously in the MVP conversation at the table. But

640
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: now you got both these guys back. You know this

641
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: This team has surprised me where they are sort of

642
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: in the rankings, and how they've played with a lot

643
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: of you know, with their star player and Kyrie missing

644
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: a good chunk of time. So they're in the middle

645
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: of a seven game homestand right now, they're longest of

646
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: the season. They have the Grizzlies, who are hot, like

647
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: you said. Up next, they have the Knicks, who are

648
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: very hot, haven't lost with og and then they play

649
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: two against the Pelicans, who are also playing great basketball.

650
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: So tough schedule here to finish out this seven game

651
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Homestand like I said, but they got a couple of those,

652
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: and they're feeling good.

653
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 4: And they're playing an inspired ball just every single possession.

654
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 4: Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, their d was stepping up even

655
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: though yeah, no Dante Axem and no Lively, who are

656
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 4: I think the key pieces in that starting lineup to

657
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: play defense?

658
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, defensively because.

659
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 4: You know, you got to go Luca and Kyrie upfront,

660
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: and they have been helping out. And I've been surprised.

661
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: I thought they needed to go get a big here

662
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: before the trade deadline. But if you check out the

663
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: articles at the Athletic dot com the Athletic dot com

664
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: slash no dunks to get you a great subscription, you

665
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: see how great this MAVs defense is actually with those

666
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 4: two guys I mentioned, So I was surprised to see

667
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 4: how they've become an energy bunch just helping out on

668
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 4: that end so much. And Kyrie, we are watching the

669
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 4: Kyrie that we fell in love with. As far as

670
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: just watching him do his thing. Yeah, he's spectacular. It

671
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: may not look it may not be good enough to

672
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: make an All NBA team because he's missed sixteen games,

673
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 4: and the math says, as soon as you miss eighteen games,

674
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: you don't make all MBA.

675
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: That's the new rule. That's tough. But he just he's

676
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: just a magician out there.

677
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Well, here's a question, is is Kyrie Irving considered a

678
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Mavericks employee because you might make up some more money?

679
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: Because another reason to give Dallas a Winner of the

680
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: weekend is we learned that Mark Cuban alerted MAVs employees.

681
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: Whether that includes the players or not, We're not sure.

682
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: I don't think so. On Friday that Ma's employees are

683
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: collectively going to receive approximately thirty five million in bonuses

684
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: as a result of him selling his majority stake in

685
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: the franchise. So that's not bad. So there you go,

686
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Mavericks employees getting some bonus money from Cubes making all

687
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: his money on the cell along. I guess I think

688
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: the new owners are chipping in as well the casino

689
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: moguls there. But yeah, just another reason to give Dallas

690
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: a winner of the weekend.

691
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: I would rather there be the Mavericks equipment manager than

692
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: the box equipment.

693
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We will get to that. All right,

694
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: those are our winners. Let's take a quick break, and

695
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll look at the losers of

696
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: the NBA Weekend. All right, still here in the factory,

697
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: hit the light button subscribe before we get to the

698
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: NBA Weekend losers. I think most people agree. Just a

699
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: general weekend loser was Golden Globe's host Joe Coy, who

700
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: had a rough rough go a host in the Globes.

701
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: His monologue was not hitting. He started throwing his writers

702
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: under the bus. I think he had a dry mouth.

703
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: He was he kept he kept looking for saliva after

704
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: every line, and I was starting to feel for him.

705
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: I've been there, man. But yeah, I'm not sure Joe

706
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: Koy will be back the Globes but or an NBA podcast.

707
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: So let's get to the NBA Weekend losers. T K,

708
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: who do you have on your list?

709
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: What about Connor Connor?

710
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Connor stuck in the pot was a loser now

711
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: was a winner because the old.

712
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: Gun back, the guy the mass pro shops, he's a loser.

713
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were allowed to see that on

714
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: the internet.

715
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: That's a great rank who had had the worst weekend?

716
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: The best pro shops, guy swimming in the aquarium, nude

717
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: uh in the pot, or the host of the globes

718
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: Joe KOI we should get the pull up on.

719
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: All right, we need a fourth option for our poll.

720
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: So perhaps our first NBA weekend loser the Golden State Warriors.

721
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: They went five hundred over the weekend, but they still

722
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: get a loser. They squeaked by Detroit on Friday and

723
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: then completely no showed the first half against the Toronto

724
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: Raptors on Sunday. Raptors scored thirty six in the first

725
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: quarter forty in the second quarter. Toronto was basically just

726
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: mismatch hunting. They're like, oh, you got a tiny guy,

727
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: We're gonna throw it to Scottie Barnes or Pascal Siakam

728
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: right at the rim for a layup. Skeets wanted to

729
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: tweet the thumb. He wanted to say this game is

730
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: over at halftime, but he couldn't do it. I was

731
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: smart not to you were smart not to. It got

732
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: sort of close. It got close because Klay Thompson got

733
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: flat in the third quarter, scored eleven points, went three

734
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 3: for three from the three point line, and then Andrew

735
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: Wiggins checked in and it was the Raptors game all

736
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: over again. Tough night for Wiggins. He finished a minus

737
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: twenty nine in the loss to Toronto, had three points

738
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: on one of six field goal shooting, had two rebounds.

739
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: He played three stints basically in this game, first five

740
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: and a half minutes in the first quarter minus twelve,

741
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: played four minutes in the second quarter minus three. Who cares,

742
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: that's one shot, and then he played seven minutes in

743
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: across the third quarter and fourth quarter minus fourteen to

744
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: make matters worse. As soon as Wiggins subbed out the

745
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: start of garbage time, Golden State then went on a

746
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: seventeen to seven run. I saw. Anthony Slater said over

747
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: at the Athletic Today that in wiggins eight hundred and

748
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: thirty one minutes this season, he's a minus fifty one.

749
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: In every other minute that Andrew Wiggins has not played,

750
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: Golden State is a plus one fifty seven. That's bad.

751
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: And now Chris Paul has also heard he's out four

752
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: to six weeks due to another hand injury. The Warriors

753
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: tried starting Jonathan Kaminga and Andrew Wiggins together against the Raptors.

754
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: It didn't work. Silver lining maybe as Draymond has been

755
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: reinstated after twelve game suspension, would have been eligible to

756
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: play against the Raptors, but apparently it needs a week

757
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: to ramp up his conditioning fair enough. They're gonna need

758
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: him instructing people where to be defensively, because Wiggins and

759
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: cominga need a guy telling them where to be. And

760
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, I guess maybe if you're looking at

761
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: the team, the fact that Chris Paul goes out and

762
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: Draymond comes, it means they're getting a little bit bigger.

763
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: They're getting a little bit more defensive, which is something

764
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: they need because this team right now is a half

765
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: game up on the Utah Jazz. Yeah, for eleventh in

766
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: the Western Conference. It has been a very bad month

767
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: for the Warriors. It was a bad weekend and Steph

768
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: Curry again had a no three point game oh for nine.

769
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, didn't seem like Steph was into this game. He

770
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 4: just wasn't feeling it, and partly was because the defense rotations.

771
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: They went with this new starting lineup, starting Andrew Wiggins

772
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: for the first time in weeks alongside Jonathan Kuminga, who

773
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: everyone has been talking about is. So that's the guy,

774
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 4: that's what we can do this together. But when they

775
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: put them on the floor, the numbers are just bad.

776
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: So they started those two guys with Trace Jackson Davis.

777
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: It was hilarious literally watching their defensive effort in that

778
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: first half. They literally just didn't know where to be

779
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: and didn't know where to defend. As soon as those

780
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: guys went to the bench, it was sarch Pujemski Kevon Looney.

781
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 4: Numbers went back the other way. They look good. So

782
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: those three started over cominga Wiggins and Trace Jackson Davis.

783
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: In the second half. They said, Wiggins, all right, you

784
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 4: haven't started for a few weeks. It's not working.

785
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: You're off.

786
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 4: Even Kaminga went back to the bench. They looked better

787
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: in times with those the the aged guys, the old guys.

788
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 4: That's what they're gonna do with Draymond Green. They're gonna

789
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 4: put him out there and they're probably gonna look better.

790
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: I don't know why he hasn't been working out. I

791
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 4: know he's what he's been doing. You're going through the counseling.

792
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 4: As Joe Dumares said this weekend, I like this quote

793
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 4: about Draymond Green from Joe Dumares. During the period of

794
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: his suspension, Green completed steps that demonstrated his commitment to

795
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 4: conforming his conduct to standards expected of NBA players, said

796
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 4: the former star of the Detroit bad Boys. He knows,

797
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: he knows what's up, you know, being being in Michigan.

798
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: He wanted to play rough. He's got to stop playing rough.

799
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: But this this.

800
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: Team, I wonder how it comes together. It's just interesting,

801
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 4: Like if he gets back on the floor, they know

802
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 4: where to be. They gonna to be better defensively. I

803
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 4: don't think there's any doubt about that. But yeah, this

804
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 4: up and down, it's it's shuts. Such a wild weekend

805
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 4: because we got the story on the athletic Kuminga has

806
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: lost his faith in Steve Kerr. Then he meets with

807
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 4: Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. I love it here as

808
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 4: they stored. Yeah, and then Chris Ball breaks his hand. Well,

809
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 4: Draymond Green's come back. He was only the war is

810
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 4: worse seven and five in those twelve games, he missed,

811
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 4: so maybe things will be back, and then they start

812
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: Wiggans again. I think Andrew Wiggins has the worst contract

813
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: in the NBA.

814
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: I love the dude.

815
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah he's got to come.

816
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 4: Back, but he just signed for four years, one hundred

817
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 4: and twenty look like a deal, but he literally can't

818
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 4: be on the floor. There's something going on there with

819
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 4: Andrew Wiggins.

820
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: That's that's a.

821
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: Crazy thinks so father, Yeah.

822
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 4: So the crazy that will he come back? They're waiting

823
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 4: for that. Moses Moody went back in the rotation, which

824
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: looked good. You usually, I think they have to get

825
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 4: the old guys, and you gotta get Draymond Green telling

826
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 4: Jonathan kuminga where to go and and then I think

827
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 4: they will be fine.

828
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Another way to look at this game in watching the

829
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: Raptors sort of handle them there for a majority of

830
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: the game is uh, the Warriors reading their body language.

831
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: I was taking away a team that is being affected

832
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: by trade rumors or maybe know something that we don't

833
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: know in terms of who's potentially on the outs and

834
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: what things they're doing, because that starts to happen around

835
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: this time, right as we get closer and closer to

836
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: trade deadlines. It affects some teams. You can see it

837
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: in terms of their effort. Especially guys are mentally checked out,

838
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: either because so and so is getting moved or they

839
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: might be getting moved. And again I got look, I

840
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: got no intel one of my shams. I don't know,

841
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: but that's what I was taking away from this. I

842
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: was like, ooh, this is bad. They're they're carrying themselves

843
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: like they know something about to happen. So we'll see.

844
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 3: Maybe they saw that picture of Massaia and Mike Dunleavy

845
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: Junior talking pre game.

846
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: It's possible, it's possible.

847
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, maybe stuff doesn't doesn't want this team going

848
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 4: for maybe want some sort of change, Like Steph's body

849
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 4: language is bad. Yeah, I mean maybe because he wanted

850
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 4: the Vets out there, because as I said, when Sarge

851
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 4: and Looney were out there, Looney was offensive Bordon all

852
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: over the place. They looked like they knew where they

853
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: were going. But it was just an odd to see

854
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 4: a Curry doesn't make a three night Currey single digits

855
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 4: scoring night.

856
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: That's just weird. That was strange to not passing the

857
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: ball where he should be passed.

858
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: The ball, And Trey said it like when they started

859
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: to make a comeback, A lot of it was, oh shit,

860
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson's back, he's on he's hot.

861
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't you ride that?

862
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: Hothand I mean this is like Kurrs like sort of downfall.

863
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: He's like so rigid and like, oh God, take him

864
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: off now. It's like, ah, do you do? You really

865
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: have to? Like he's got it going. You were down

866
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: huge the guys you started, most of them were not

867
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: giving you a great effort, and like that's a classic

868
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: Curth thing. I know, it sometimes works out, sometimes doesn't,

869
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: but he's usually playing the long game. When they had

870
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: a lead talent and now they're like, you know, there's

871
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: SOMEB five hundred. They're not even close to like one

872
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: of the best teams right now in the Western Conference.

873
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: So I know Warriors fans were pissed about that.

874
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like what are you doing?

875
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: Like he's actually scoring here, Like anyway, I.

876
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: Think they should just get Raptors head coach dark O

877
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 4: Royakovic to coach for the next couple of months. Dark

878
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 4: Oroyavic is a motivational speaker.

879
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 2: It's working right now.

880
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 4: Do you see what he said to our man to

881
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: Manuel quickly he said. This was what quickly said. After

882
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: a game last week, he said, dark Darko pulled me aside,

883
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 4: well the Memphis game was going on and said, you're

884
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 4: not having fun.

885
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: Have fun. I've never really had a coach do that.

886
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: That's Darko's whole thing.

887
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 2: Boom.

888
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: He turned around. He had a bad first run in

889
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 4: that game, turned it around. He told Malachi Flynn earlier

890
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 4: this season, you don't look so good when you're not happy.

891
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 3: Smile and you look great.

892
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 4: This guy is a motivational speaker. I think that's what

893
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 4: That's what the Warriors need. They need somebody talking to people.

894
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: And maybe it'll help with Draymond Green because he went

895
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 4: through the counselor as multiple times and he wasn't with

896
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 4: the team except like no one knew where he was

897
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 4: except when he was at Lebron's party, which was strange.

898
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: Let's be around the team, the thirty nine year old

899
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: one with Adele. It's always funny seeing Goodell and photos

900
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: with Lebron at the same party.

901
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: That's weird.

902
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: So maybe a small winner of the weekend to Darko,

903
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: head coach of the Raptors, because on Friday night they

904
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: lost and you would say, well, why would they be

905
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: a winner for losing. Well, he had bet the team, Hey,

906
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: you win three games in a row, I'm buying you dinner.

907
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: They were at two wins in a row. If they

908
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: had beaten the Kings on Friday night, he was having

909
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: to pony up the bill, and instead they lost. But

910
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: they bounced right back against the Warriors. They now play

911
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Jazz as they're on

912
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: this very long road trip.

913
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: The Raps are here and Junior finally got later. Should

914
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 3: at least mail look like the real one? And game

915
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 3: of a replica or something that's crazy? I just hang on,

916
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: I'll get it when I see it next.

917
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, tass, What about you? Who do

918
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: you have for a weekend loser?

919
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna talk about Kate Conningham a little bit

920
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: because he got injured. The Pistons are three and thirty three,

921
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 4: and it seems like it couldn't get worse, but Kate

922
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 4: Cunningham getting hurt makes it far worse. He got hurt

923
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: against the Nuggets. Left with the left Nie and the

924
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 4: reason why they have been decent recently is because Kate

925
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 4: Cunningham has been good since November fifteenth, twenty three point

926
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 4: six points, seven assists, fourth bore rebounds, and a fifty

927
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 4: seven point two true shooting percentage, so he can pass,

928
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: he can score, and he's literally been running the offense

929
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 4: twenty nine point two percent usage rate and the turnovers

930
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: have come down only three point two. They need his

931
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: offense desperately because their defense has just been bad over

932
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 4: the last six games. As our man James Edwards pointed

933
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 4: out last in the NBA the last six games. So

934
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: they have been making runs and it's all through Kid

935
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: to me, and Isaiah Stewart has been out as well,

936
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: so I think that hurts the defense. But just a note,

937
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 4: the kid has turned it around offensively. They changed their

938
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 4: defense with sending Amen Thompson to the bench there, and

939
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 4: that hurts. They just don't know.

940
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: Who they are.

941
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 4: Hopefully Kate Conningham comes back because otherwise, otherwise otherwise the

942
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 4: offense just won't be good because their defense is bad.

943
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 4: They need their offense to be good. And Kane's caid

944
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 4: has been bawling, uh you know four a month and

945
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 4: a half.

946
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: Really yeah, well, you thought it was cool at the

947
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: Spurs were five and thirty, Just yeah, cool record three

948
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: and thirty three even cooler, cooler for the Pistons. Yeah,

949
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: for sure they were two and twenty two. I know,

950
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: were they.

951
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: One and eleven?

952
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: No, and.

953
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: You just like four and forty four though, I believe.

954
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably it's like cool. They'll be happy with four

955
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: and forty four because they got one win, and then you.

956
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: Just like the digits.

957
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think it's nice, it's great. I just

958
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: it's funny because I think I said it on playback

959
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: to Tray. I hope they get to three and thirty

960
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: three because that won't look cool and they definitely right

961
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: wait to try. But uh yeah, kid, kid, that's unfortunate.

962
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's nothing too too serious, but tough not to

963
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: have him as a loser there, at least the Pistons.

964
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: I called the sar Thompson, AM and Thompson.

965
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: By the way, Oh is that that's probably the first time, though,

966
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: that you've ever mixed them up.

967
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

968
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 4: Because I've been watching, he's's been getting some some rockets love,

969
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 4: he's been looking good.

970
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: I got a couple losers of the weekend. Usually I'm

971
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: always struggling to find one, but I got a few

972
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: for you here. Some of them are minor though, Uh,

973
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Friday Night hoops big loser of the NBA weekend. What

974
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? We had a lot of

975
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: games on first off, but of the twenty eight of

976
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: the thirty teams that saw action, yeah, we had fourteen

977
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: games there. On Friday Night, eight teams led by twenty

978
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: five or more points, the most for a single night

979
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: in the league since way back in ninety seven to

980
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: ninety eight. Of those eight teams, seven led by thirty

981
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: or more. Of those seven teams, four of them grew

982
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: to leads of thirty five points or more. The point

983
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: is Friday Night was blow out central. Now, luckily Sunday

984
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: we had a lot of close games, some really entertaining finishes.

985
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: But I saw here from ESPN Stats and Info, shout

986
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: out to them. Friday marked the one hundred and eighty

987
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: second day in NBA history where we had thirteen or

988
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: more games played in the NBA, quite a lot more

989
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: than I would have expected. Teams won those games this

990
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: last Friday by an average of nineteen points per game,

991
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: which was the largest margin of victory on any of

992
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: those days. So we just had a lot of blowbout

993
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: So that was just unfortunate. If you were in on

994
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: Friday night watching some hoops, hoping for some close games.

995
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: So that's just a minor one. This next one. The

996
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings, my sweet sweet Kinks. They always find a

997
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: way to disappoint me. They lost on Sunday to the

998
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: Pelicans again, one thirty three to one hundred. Like the

999
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: Pacers own the Bucks in the East, the Pelicans own

1000
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: the Kings in the West. They have beat them all

1001
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: four games. They do have a fifth game, one of

1002
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: those weird little quirks.

1003
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: Again.

1004
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: They have outscored Sacramento by eighty four combined points this season. Yeah,

1005
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: they just own them. And here's the kicker. About eighteen

1006
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: thousand fans in Sacramento on Sunday it was kids and

1007
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: family Day. It showed up to cheer on the home team,

1008
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: and the Kings players said, fuck kids, man, holy crap.

1009
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: An embarrassing showing. Darren Fox, the team's leading score three

1010
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: points one to ten from the field. Daren Fox is

1011
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: on a very bad run right now. He's scoring under

1012
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: twenty points per game over his last five. He's shooting

1013
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent from the field, even worse from deep.

1014
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: Not a good run for my guy star Fox right now.

1015
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: But the Kings were smashed on the boards twenty nine

1016
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: to nine in the first half. I thought that was

1017
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: a typo and fifty one to twenty five for the game.

1018
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: And the Pelicans, man, they just feel great playing Sacramento.

1019
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: They even talked about it. It was like just a great matchup.

1020
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: Willie Green said, we like it.

1021
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 3: Ye.

1022
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: CJ McCollum scored thirty. He hit seven threes. I don't

1023
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw this. After the game the

1024
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: Pelicans broadcast, they were asking CJ McCollum, like, why do

1025
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: you enjoy playing in Sacramento so much? You know, they

1026
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: were trying to look for like is it just like

1027
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: the site lines, the rims whatever. CJ's answer was great.

1028
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, Sacramento was supposed to draft me. They

1029
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: had me come back for a second workout. They actually

1030
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: told me they were gonna take me at seven, and

1031
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: they did it. So and then he like chuckled, like

1032
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: I like playing against him, a little revenge there in

1033
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: the back of CJ's mind. And he had a great game.

1034
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: And like I said, the Pelicans just just play well

1035
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: against this team. So the Kings need to avoid the

1036
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: Pelicans in any sort of postseason matchup.

1037
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: We just looked up who the King's drafted instead of

1038
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 3: C J. McCollum.

1039
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: What year two thousand?

1040
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,959
Speaker 3: This was in the twenty thirteen draft.

1041
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, seventy seven.

1042
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 3: You saw him? You saw this guy? He saw that

1043
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: in a dunk contest.

1044
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: Not jumping out at me.

1045
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: Oh, you saw him at the thrift store.

1046
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: I saw him at the thrift store. Is that a pun?

1047
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: It's Ben Macklamore.

1048
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Oh the shop?

1049
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: Is that what that guy's song was that Maclamore?

1050
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, thrift shop or store?

1051
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, but Ben Maclamore is out of the league.

1052
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 3: Maclamore is out of the rap industry.

1053
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: I still do.

1054
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 3: CJ. McCollum is still hooping, so I guess the Kings

1055
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 3: probably should have drafted him. But if you're looking for

1056
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 3: a silver lining skeiits Kevin Herder went for seventeen points

1057
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: on six to ten shooting. I think it's time for

1058
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: him to go back to the starting line up for

1059
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 3: Duarte because Duarte is not doing much, so that would.

1060
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: Be or it helps his trade value, I guess is

1061
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:12,479
Speaker 1: the other way.

1062
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 3: That would be another way to help his trade value.

1063
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 3: You don't want to trade a guy off the bench

1064
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 3: when he was a starter.

1065
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 2: La, that's true.

1066
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: That's true. So King's loser of the weekend. And one

1067
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: more here because we did allude to it. The Bucks

1068
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: have had a rough week or so, right. They got

1069
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: smacked by Indiana twice. They just beat the Spurs in

1070
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: that game that we watched on playback that had a

1071
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: million highlights. It was entertaining, but just beating the Spurs

1072
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 1: is not great. And then after a one to twelve

1073
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: one toweight loss on Saturday night in Houston, Jannis decided

1074
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: to call out everybody on the team, I mean everybody.

1075
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: He had like a seven and a half minute rant

1076
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: about what's wrong with his squad. But here's the money

1077
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: quote and our guide Jerome put together a graphic. This

1078
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: is the honest after that loss on Saturday night quote.

1079
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: We have to be better. We have to play better,

1080
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: we have to defend better, we have to trust one

1081
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: another better, we have to be coached better. Every single thing.

1082
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: Everybody has to be better. Everybody. It starts from the

1083
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes better. End,

1084
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 1: you have a lot more to say, but man, the

1085
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: poor equipment manager of the Milwaukee Bucks catching astray. Giannis

1086
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: is calling out, how clean the clothes are?

1087
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 3: You want to go back and watch the old games, right,

1088
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 3: see if you see a stain?

1089
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, maybe a little stench. Maybe that's affecting on

1090
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: the team, But what is that?

1091
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 3: It's gross?

1092
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, he was very upset he's the MVP because

1093
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: that speech went on and so long for a while.

1094
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 4: He did, and he started talking about his team's defense.

1095
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 4: He's mainly he's mainly upset about the about the effort,

1096
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 4: and he wants every every player to think about it

1097
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 4: at all times. He basically said, you know, you go

1098
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 4: on your All Star weekend trip, you're sitting on a

1099
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 4: on a beach.

1100
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: You think about it.

1101
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 4: You go go into your bedroom at night, you might

1102
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 4: get a little freaky.

1103
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: You think about it.

1104
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 4: Think about defense. This guy's quotes about getting freaky in

1105
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 4: they're endless.

1106
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: Now he doesn't stop.

1107
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 3: He doesn't stop, like, fine, you're calling me the freak.

1108
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: Just watch. But I actually love this from Giannis. I

1109
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: think this is pretty good leadership. He calls out literally everybody,

1110
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: but everybody knows who he's really talking about, Lillard, Beasley

1111
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 3: and the coaching, but he didn't say him by name,

1112
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: and He definitely put himself at the center of it too,

1113
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 3: because if you look at the article from Eric Name

1114
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 3: on The Athletic, you'll see Giannis dying on screens, just

1115
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 3: like Dame Lillard dies on screens, right, And he's completely right.

1116
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 3: The Bucks have been pretty good, but they definitely haven't

1117
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 3: been great, and you've gotta be great to win a championship.

1118
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 3: And Giannis isn't there to try and make it to

1119
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 3: the playoffs. He's trying to get back to the finals

1120
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 3: win another championship. So he's saying, we got four months

1121
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 3: to figure out what's wrong, but we got to figure

1122
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 3: out what's wrong. And it starts with me, and it starts.

1123
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: With Bill who can't wash these His name's Trevor. I

1124
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: looked it up, or Trevor Man, Trevor take it to me.

1125
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, and he went on to say, like, and

1126
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 1: it is right. He's like, look, offense comes and goes

1127
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,479
Speaker 1: in this league, you're gonna have knights where we're on fire,

1128
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: like like he just had like a sixty four point game,

1129
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: didn't he not that long ago? And he had a

1130
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: forty eight point game and all that, But and they'll

1131
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: catch fire from three. But He's like, that's offense. To

1132
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: win a championship, we have to play defense consistently and

1133
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: you can't pretend to turn it on and off. You can't.

1134
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: And he knows it, and that's why he really went

1135
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: on this this huge rant. Our guy Jerome, by the way,

1136
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: with that quote, he said, you had a few logos

1137
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: to that that that quote that Jannis had there, and

1138
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 1: you slap it on a billboard and it's perfect. And

1139
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: so this is a great mock up. Everybody on YouTube

1140
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: seeing this, so podcast listeners jump over. But it's the

1141
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: quote that I just read to you, even about the

1142
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: washing the clothes part. You gotta do it better. Throw

1143
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: a Nike at on there, a little Janis logo and yeah,

1144
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: sure that inspire me. I gotta wash my clothes better, dude.

1145
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 3: I would love to see training montage from Trevor before

1146
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 3: the Bucks play the Jazz tonight, just like going in. Yeah,

1147
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 3: just like pumping with different tide bottles, chomping on pods.

1148
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: Don't do that.

1149
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 3: Anything to get.

1150
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: Those are in the washing game. You eating tide pods?

1151
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be great. Sway, that's inspirational.

1152
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 4: I also brought up this to Drum that we should

1153
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 4: we should have a new Golden globes worthy type segment

1154
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 4: here where we just do table reads of every.

1155
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: Time you said to mention.

1156
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 4: It's good. I once when I put my kids to bed.

1157
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 4: You never know what can happen after it.

1158
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 2: Dough.

1159
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least a super cut up. All the time

1160
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: jest is dropping a horny reference in a.

1161
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: Press efference, I mean cutting him.

1162
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 4: It would just be good because he does feel weird.

1163
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 4: I think he did one in front of on an

1164
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 4: Instagram live essentially. Yeah, the family was there, so he

1165
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 4: feels worried about that one, I'm sure, but he keeps

1166
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 4: doing it, and the table reads would just be good.

1167
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 4: So we're doing great idea, we're getting a Golden Globe.

1168
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: Well, they added new categories this year, so they added, well,

1169
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: they added to one made a lot of sense. It

1170
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: was basically like stand up, like comedian stand ups. You know,

1171
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: there's so many on Netflix. So they gave an award

1172
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: to the best one. I think Ricky Gervais one, which

1173
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: TikTok twenty four. Yeah, have you watched that one too?

1174
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: It's not very good anyway, he won. But then the

1175
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: other category, that's a funny category. It's literally like box

1176
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: office success. Yeah, I saw that, which I thought we

1177
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: had the way to figure out who had the best,

1178
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, most popular movie of the year. But they

1179
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: they want to I think the idea get more casual

1180
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: fans watching this, like it will work, you know, hey.

1181
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 3: Casual movie fan.

1182
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: I mean it's like casual box office fan. It's like, oh,

1183
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: I saw Barbie or I saw Mission Impossible was one

1184
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: of the nom you know, it's like all the major

1185
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible win. No, I think Barbie one.

1186
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 5: Yes, it is a toy most popular movie.

1187
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: That's basically what the category was. It's like they call

1188
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 1: it something box office.

1189
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 4: Right, but it is the box office revenue is leading

1190
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 4: the way.

1191
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 5: It's literally the Yeah, it's the movie that made the

1192
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 5: most money win.

1193
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: So they don't need to vote on this category.

1194
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: Oh I don't think so.

1195
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: Well that's really funny. Then why even have nominees unless

1196
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: like there's like two movies, like somebody has to go

1197
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: see the movie on the final day before the Golden

1198
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: Globes to push it above the other one.

1199
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 5: I mean, but that's what that's the name of the

1200
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 5: It's the most popular movie.

1201
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 4: Like no, I know, I'm I thought they were tapping

1202
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 4: into social media, just like they were with with the

1203
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 4: stand ups. They're tapping into likes, hits, all that stuff

1204
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 4: that that maybe.

1205
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 2: Pushing in a point. Let's get the casuals in.

1206
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 5: And Mission Impossible was nominated.

1207
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: I didn't watch. I didn't pretty sure it was.

1208
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 5: That's considered a bomb like that.

1209
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: I was poorly timed by Tom and Coe was Barbenheimer.

1210
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: He begged, please.

1211
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 3: We need another week.

1212
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, too bad for Tom.

1213
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: I do want to see it. Didn't even see it.

1214
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome, Yeah, it was so good.

1215
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: I definitely want to watch.

1216
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 5: It's not as good as the last one, I will say,

1217
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 5: but it's Mission Impossible.

1218
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 3: Great.

1219
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's take one more break and when we

1220
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: come back. I got a fun tweet of the night

1221
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: for the guys with some trivia included. Let's get to

1222
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: tweeted the night.

1223
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: That damn it.

1224
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, tweeted the Knight.

1225
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: Tweet out the Knight Wow.

1226
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: Tweet The night comes from one of my favorite Twitter follows,

1227
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: and that is at nineties NBA, and a lot of

1228
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: it is just photos screen grabs of nineties footage from

1229
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: the NBA. Very nostalgic and I like this pick, so

1230
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,720
Speaker 1: I made it tweeted the night Here of the nineteen

1231
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: ninety eight Western Conference reserves. It's as simple as that.

1232
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: You got Vin Baker, you got Tim Duncan, Eddie Jones,

1233
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, Mitch Richmond, David Robinson, and the real reason

1234
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,000

1235
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: the Quick his only All Star appearance. We had four

1236
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: Lakers in this All Star Game because we had Shack
