Speaker 2: Can't wait. Okay, we just got to get right.

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 5: Into the basketball because there's a lot to talk about

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: with eleven games on last night. But first we had Aggie. Yeah,

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 5: we had a Leggie and Bryan Scalabrini on the call

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 5: because it happened in Boston and he had some interesting

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 5: comments about it.

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: Let's have a listen, Richick potentially brought to puts it out.

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Put you a good job, jump off. I can't go

48
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: on a rant real quick? Why cap?

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Why don't we play that live? Why? Why can't Why

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: don't understand here's the defense? Yeah, like that's clearly a break.

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Why can't we just go up there and grab it

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: and keep going? Hmm?

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 2: Interesting, tass? What do you think that? Wedge?

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 5: Number thirty two? By the way, so that's very good.

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: Hadn't had one in a while, but yeah, Scal just says,

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: play on, let's jump up, pop it out, let's go.

57
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: What do you think innovative by Scal? We've probably had

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, four hundred weggies since we've started tracking

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. Never heard that once? Does it lead

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: to some problems? I guess is the question?

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: No?

62
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: I get it.

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I guess it could. What happens to the shot clock?

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 6: Oh?

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

66
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: The biggest problem is we don't take a second to

67
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 5: admire the beauty.

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Of the wedge? Right right, big big problem.

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see the Celtics bench there? That was Yeah,

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: they were aploading the wedgie? No defense, that was a

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: good wedg Jordan, well done?

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Deep, Yeah, gotta take a second, go on going to

73
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: rent right now? I just like that one, Yeah, just

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: like that la.

75
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: I mean I thought the rant he might go on

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: It is a little weird when you think about it.

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 5: It's a brick shot. It's a brutal miss. No, we

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: love it, of course it's weggie. But then we have

79
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 5: a jump ball, and like you have the ability to

80
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: gain the ball back to your possession.

81
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: That's a little straight. Good point.

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: Maybe it should be an instant turnover or like the

83
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: ball going out of bounds or just play it. I

84
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 6: kind of like that. Yeah, very dangerous. It seems like

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 6: to have like a bunch of guys jumping up there.

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 6: You know, the balls obviously wedged in, you're jumping up

87
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: with your fragile fingers. Everybody's going for the same spot.

88
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 6: Potential for some injuries, but that would be exciting as well.

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 5: Okay, what about a little middle ground, because I do

90
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 5: want to appreciate the wedge.

91
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: Of course we do, because we track them.

92
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 5: There's like a timer it like it wedges, and then

93
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: there's like I don't know, ten to twenty second like

94
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 5: countdown where then they can figure out like how they're

95
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 5: going to attack it.

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: They can start letting each other not that on five seconds,

97
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: five seconds, five four three. If it's not live ball,

98
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: then we then we jump it. Okay, Yeah, four points.

99
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 6: Four points oh okay, extra points?

100
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if you can't get it at if if

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: you're a team gets the wedgie, the defender has five

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: or ten seconds to.

103
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: Get it out, and if you can't get it out.

104
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: That's four points.

105
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 5: All right, that's not a bad ideas brainstorming hashtag fool

106
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: idea right here.

107
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: On a Thursday.

108
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: People maybe going for wedgies in that instance. Well, yeah,

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and that that would be great for us. Awesome and

110
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: they getting the little stocks out. You're not gonna go

111
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: get that ball.

112
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jazz could have used the four points last night

113
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: getting hammered there by Boston. We'll get to that game,

114
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 5: but yeah, wag you number thirty two. Interesting thought there

115
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: from Scalabrini. Let's hear from you guys in the stream

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: team and the comments below what you think about his

117
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: decision just to play on punch it out.

118
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: As Gorman says there, he likes it.

119
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: Okay, we're gonna tackle a lot of these games last

120
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: night with a little what you got, what.

121
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: You get? Yeah, what you got? First one?

122
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 5: Tempers flared on the Miami Heat bench last night the

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 5: second half. You know, Golden State, it ripped off this

124
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 5: nineteen to oh run. And then during the timeout we

125
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: had Jimmy Butler getting into it with Spolstra. They had

126
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: things to say. Suddenly Haslam and Butler exchanging words. You know,

127
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: everybody seems to want to fight everybody. It's it's quite

128
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: a scene. You don't see obviously all that often from teammates.

129
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: So the what you got questioned, Lee, is you know

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 5: this Butler haslum spo. I guess you want to chuck

131
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: him in there sort of spat. Is it very concerning

132
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: or is it nothing at all to you?

133
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: What's your guys, I'm going to say a little bit

134
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: of both, more very concerning than nothing, because look, the

135
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: Miami Heat one of the most stable franchises in the

136
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: NBA have been for a long time. It's been Micky

137
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: Arrison and pat Riley, Andy Ellisberg, Nick Arison, Eric Spolstra,

138
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: throw Tim Reynolds in there.

139
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: He's part of that. But you know what about AIRA.

140
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: But Jax, they very very rarely have any sort of

141
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: internal chaos. They like to deal with things. Anything that

142
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: comes up, it's handled usually very very well behind closed doors.

143
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: But the reason this one I'm a little bit more

144
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: in the very concerned is because I have never seen

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Eric Spolstra that pissed for that long where he is

146
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: being held back by his own players. There he threw

147
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: down the clipboard as well, like you never see. The

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: only thing I've ever seen from Eric s Bolster in

149
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: the past was that Lebron incident that was blown out

150
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: of proportion in Lebron's first season, remember the sort of

151
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: the shoulder bump, which was nothing. Eric Spolstra is never

152
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: losing his call like this, and so to me, something

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: was building behind the scenes to get to this point,

154
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: and it kept going and going and going. Eudonis Haslman

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: there was he just stepping in there. He wanted to

156
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: fight everyone, but that's kind of his thing on this team.

157
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: We've seen him a fake. Yeah, you know, he's a

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: bit of a junkyard dog there. But look at this

159
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: from Eric Spolstra. That is just absolutely never seen before

160
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: from him. That he was getting into Jimmy And this

161
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: is again also why I leaned into the very concerning

162
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: category Jimmy Butler. His reputation is a malcontent really grew

163
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: last night. He left Chicago under shady circumstances Minnesota. He

164
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: hated everyone, He wanted to fight the front office, his teammates,

165
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 2: the coach. He barely lasted five minutes in Philadelphia before

166
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: the same sort of thing where he's like, no, it's

167
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: my team, I'm the best. I don't like Brett Brown.

168
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm out of here. And he goes to Miami, so

169
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: he's now been there. They just signed him last season too,

170
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: to a massive extension. Jimmy Butler though, he's bringing almost

171
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: the real Jimmy Butler experience here to Miami, which could

172
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: derail what has so far been an outstanding season. They

173
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: still hold that number one seed in the Eastern Conference.

174
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: It's a little shaky right now, and certainly they could

175
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: lose it. There's still a very good team. I expect

176
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: that they will continue to sort of handle this in house.

177
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: Eric Spolster was very calm afterwards. By the way his postgame.

178
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: I like the way that he spoke. Tried to throw

179
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: a little joke in there. Yeah, we were just trying

180
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: to figure out where we're going for dinner. But I

181
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: do think that something like this could become a bigger

182
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: factor as well later and down the road. They lost

183
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: to a team they shouldn't have lost to. Last night.

184
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: Jordan Paul went crazy some of the shots he was

185
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: hitting last night in that third quarter, which really took

186
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: them out. They scored nineteen points to start that third quarter.

187
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: That's where it erupted that how can we stop this

188
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: guy shooting Dirk one leggers off the backboard? He was crazy?

189
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: But if the heat get into a situation where they're

190
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: again pressurized in the playoffs, what are we going to

191
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: see from Jimmy Butler? His reputation says he might almost

192
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: like implode a little bit there. So this is bad

193
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: for Miami. I think you really believe that.

194
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: No, I think it's I don't. I disagree with you too,

195
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: but I think it's fine. I think the heater showing

196
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Butler is not bigger than the system. I

197
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: think Jimmy likes that. I think Jimmy appreciates that. And

198
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: I think it's like right right in the moment, they're

199
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: trying to control it, and that means I don't know

200
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: that when do you get in a fight and you

201
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: just talk it out? I mean they talked like for

202
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: forty five seconds. I would run away and be frustrated

203
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: and be angry and not want to deal with it.

204
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they dealt with it right

205
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: there in that moment is a good sign for them,

206
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: and Spolsu is showing telling everybody on the bench, not

207
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: even our superstar can get away with talking trash to

208
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: me is how it initially started. You Donnis Haslin had

209
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: his back right then and right there, and first Spolstra,

210
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: what happened was Jimmy said something to Spolso spols was like,

211
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: was shocked, taking it back me, You're coming at me,

212
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: And Haslm came in with the only words I could

213
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: really read lips were show them, show them, show the

214
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: other team. And then he said, I want to fight.

215
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: You want to fight, You want to fight, you want

216
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: to fight.

217
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: You jim so much of a coach.

218
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, I think it's Jimmy versus the coaching staff.

219
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: And and Jimmy didn't play defense on that Jordan Pool

220
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: one legger where he allowed him to get his you know,

221
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: freedom to take that shot off. And yeah, the heat,

222
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: we're trying to control it. So I don't I don't

223
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: mind it at all. I think they get the one

224
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: seed right here, right now. I think they're not losing

225
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: this one seed now because Jimmy loves this. I think

226
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: Jimmy loves this internal combustion. It is the full Jimmy

227
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: experience totally. I get that, uh, and it's sometimes it's

228
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: not good, but I think Jimmy, Jimmy lives for this.

229
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy wants jim Jimmy wanted somebody to come back at him,

230
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: and it happened, and I think there's just this is

231
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: this is good heat culture.

232
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: The last two times it has happened that Jimmy's gotten

233
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: out of there. So I but I think.

234
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: Tas to saying maybe different in the last two times,

235
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 5: is no one steps to Jimmy and says get in line, Folt.

236
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: We would do. This is what we do here in Miami,

237
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: And I sort of agree with that that is a

238
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: fair point and we will see how it flies out.

239
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: But I just sort of feel that sometimes Jimmy can

240
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: like let this festa and get bigger. And so now

241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: the challenge is going to be to see how they

242
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: do respond, because they actually responded on the court well

243
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: at the start, but they ended up losing by double

244
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: digits as well, So it's a it's a weird situation.

245
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Spoll after the game and made the joke about

246
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 5: dinner plans then he said, it was pretty clear we

247
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: have a very competitive gnurly drew and we were getting

248
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 5: our asses kicked, and it's two straight games. We're not

249
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: playing to the level we want to play it. I'd

250
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 5: say virtually every single person in that huddle was pretty

251
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: animated about our disappointment in how we were playing. Lowry

252
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: talked about it after the game. Peg Tucker talked about

253
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: it after the game. Bam talked about it after game,

254
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 5: and for the most part, they were all just saying, yeah,

255
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 5: this happens in practice. We fight each other all the time.

256
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen usually in a game, but there it was,

257
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 5: and it's okay, it's not a big deal.

258
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: You know, we'll see.

259
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 6: But what do you think, Trayva, I don't think it's

260
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 6: a big deal. Jimmy was just upset that he was

261
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 6: losing the third stringers. That's like the biggest insult that

262
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 6: can possibly happen to Jimmy Butler. So we saw them

263
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 6: try to fight the Nuggets as a team earlier this season,

264
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 6: after the Yoak at Morris incident. It was just a

265
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: matter of time before they turned on each other and

266
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: started trying to fight each other. There's that great like

267
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 6: reverse angle of somebody in the crowd and you can

268
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 6: see Spolsteret's like, what, yeah, you want to fucking fight?

269
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: Like seriously, Like seriously.

270
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: I'm a coach here like twenty years older than you are.

271
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 6: Why are we fighting? So yeah, to me, it was just, uh,

272
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 6: exactly what they're saying. There's a lot of competitive guys,

273
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 6: a lot of guys who like to act like they're

274
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 6: going to fight each other at some point despite never

275
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 6: really getting in fights. Has them to get in a fight. Yeah,

276
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 6: he's the only guy I think would actually get in

277
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 6: a fight on that team. And Morris of course, but

278
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 6: he he actually played it pretty cool in this one.

279
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: You know.

280
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, all things can suppe me. But the but the

281
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 6: Heat have now lost two straight games. They should not

282
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 6: have lost this game with the Warriors playing with none

283
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 6: of their stars, so they're just mad, you know. I

284
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 6: think they hit a rough patch in the schedule right

285
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 6: here and they're actually not playing very well, so certainly

286
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 6: they're heated coming into the playoffs. I don't think it'll

287
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 6: be a big deal. We saw Eric Spolster and Dwayne

288
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 6: Wade get in a fight during the two twelve season.

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 6: That one ended okay with Miami as well.

290
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: This could be the best thing that happens to this

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: a little spark plug.

292
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: And you know, it depends how Jimmy takes it all

293
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: over all, But I think I agree with these guys.

294
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: I think he.

295
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 5: Actually loves this. I think he likes the idea of

296
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: his coach actually stepping to him and sort of challenge

297
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 5: him back.

298
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

299
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: I think that was the case with Brett Brown in

300
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: Philadelphia certainly that he didn't really push back, and no

301
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: it did. But Tibbs, I mean in Minnesota that was

302
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: his boy and he wanted out of there from then. Yeah,

303
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: you know, I think that had to do with the

304
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: other players though it did. But you know, at the

305
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: same time, you know, Thibbs was supposed to be the

306
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: one who was going to get the most out of Hi.

307
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: Jimmy's always sort of like I need guys like to

308
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 5: go to war with, you know, like dogs and stuff

309
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: like that.

310
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's these guys. These guys are just bigger.

311
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: They're barking back at him and then put them in place.

312
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 6: So he's also been trying to get to Miami since

313
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 6: he was on the Chicago Balls, which is why he

314
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 6: ended up leaving the Balls. I mean they traded him.

315
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 6: Still a stupid move. He had wanted to get to

316
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 6: the Heat, so he had to leave the timber Wolves,

317
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 6: and then he wanted to get to the Heat, so

318
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 6: he had to leave the seventy six ers. Now he's

319
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 6: got this big deal here he is on the Heat.

320
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 6: I don't think this is going to be problem at all.

321
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: It was crazy, crazy incident there.

322
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 6: Though.

323
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 5: We can talk a little bit about the Warriors and

324
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole especially, but like, do we need to send

325
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: the Miami Heat our new tea shirt instead of coming

326
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 5: next week, guys Tuesday, go to no dunks dot com.

327
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 5: We got Temper Boy shirts coming. I think they could

328
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 5: all be rocking a Temper Boy shirt.

329
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: Those in the in the letters like the jerseys you

330
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: know where they've got like all different letters from you

331
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: want a whole new design. Yeah, you haven't even launched

332
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: these shirts. Yeah, but why not make one specially designedful?

333
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: And they might imagine Carl Lowry turning up to a

334
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: game wearing one of those.

335
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, catl Larry was the one guy who left the

336
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: huddle first. He gave he signaled for a time out. Yeah,

337
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: while they're yelling at each other time out then he left.

338
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: He was the one guy that didn't want to deal with,

339
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't didn't want to be a temper boy. That reminded

340
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: me of when he was on our show. He was

341
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: talking about being a Philadelphia Eagles fan and we asked

342
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: him if he played football as a kid. Seem like

343
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: a football player, right, and he said that it's too

344
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: physical for me. And then when he left that huddle,

345
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, he doesn't. He likes does Galley

346
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: doesn't love it as much as U d and Eric Spolster,

347
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: who looks in great shape. By the way, you said,

348
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: he's like twenty years old than Jimmy Butler. I had

349
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: to check because you know, when he was pointing at

350
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: his chest and I saw those pictorials coming out, I thought, man,

351
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: this guy looks fit, but he is fifty one. Has

352
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: them's forty one? He could partake. He would be in

353
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: the ring if they were all bad.

354
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, But is it WrestleMania right around the corner here.

355
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: That's a two day event.

356
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: I can't believe it every time that comes up. Anyways,

357
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: the Warriors responded really well to Draymond Green calling them Yeah, exactly.

358
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Draymond Green said, we are freaking soft. We just lost

359
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: to the worst team in the league. One of the

360
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: worst teams, I guess, in the Orlando Magic. He doesn't play,

361
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Clay doesn't play, Steph doesn't play, and they beat the

362
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Miami Heat with a great bench production. It's sort of

363
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: a role reversal. We think the Heat are ten deep.

364
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: They didn't get a lot from their bench in this one.

365
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: No Tyler here, obviously, but Victor Oldipo wasn't wasn't great,

366
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: either was Max Struce. And then you've got great contributions

367
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: from the guy like Amian Lee, who I think could

368
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: be the fifth of their death lineup along with the

369
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: big three. In Wiggins, he could be the fifth guy.

370
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Hidden shots. He had twenty two off the bench, nine

371
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: free throws, great attitude, Arren Wagans finally had a good game.

372
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah he did. He did, for sure. Aggressive he was.

373
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: And Jordan Poole I tweeted this this morning, He's not

374
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: gonna win it. But when we started the season, you remember,

375
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: like the first month or so, it was like Jordan

376
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: Poole's gonna win.

377
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: Most improved, like deservedly.

378
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 5: So it's like nobody's gonna be able to catch him,

379
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: and then he hit a bit of a rough patch,

380
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: and like all these other guys came on, it looks

381
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 5: like it's Jamran's to lose. I mean, Vegas has him

382
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: as an insane favorite, so I guess he's gonna win it.

383
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: But then Jordan Poole is back.

384
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: I feel like it's maybe in this conversation at least

385
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: getting some votes because he is averaging over his last

386
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: eleven games twenty six points per game, five assists, and

387
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 5: he's shooting fifty five from the floor, fifty from three on,

388
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: nine attempts per game from deep, and eighty seven at

389
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 5: the line, twenty six points his last eleven I mean again,

390
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: he had an awesome first month or so and he's

391
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: ending here on an incredible heater.

392
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: And one of the problems early on was the shot selection.

393
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: Now again last night he was hitting some crazy ones.

394
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: But I think he has understood a little bit more,

395
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: don't rush his shot a little bit more, have a

396
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: bit more patience, and it's starting to work because he's

397
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: shooting better percentages. That was one thing I remember Steve

398
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: Kerse said earlier. It's just like he was getting it

399
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: and just firing away, but now he's like, Okay, if

400
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: you get your feet set and you take your time,

401
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: you're going to hit a higher percentage. So yeah, he's

402
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: going to be huge for them in the playoffs. They're

403
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: going to need his production off the bench.

404
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 6: You think he's going to come off the bench. He's

405
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 6: been awesome as a start, better than Clay Thompson has

406
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 6: been since Clay's come back.

407
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think they're gonna he's They're not

408
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: gonna bring Clay off.

409
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 6: The bench Wiggins then. I mean their best offense is

410
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 6: when Steph Clay and Jordan Pool are out there and

411
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 6: Dremond is passing the bar, so there's one spot left

412
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 6: it could be Wiggins.

413
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Wiggins has coming. I don't think

414
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: they mess with that. I think they're going to keep

415
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: him as there, just come off the bench for play

416
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of minutes. Yeah, when he was coming off bench, Yeah,

417
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: we'll see.

418
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: Some question marks there for sure. And then closing so could.

419
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: Games for sure. Let's keep it going here because there's

420
00:17:58,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: tons more to talk about. Guys.

421
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 5: We had DeAndre Eaton scoring a career high thirty five,

422
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: sort of coming by surprise a little bit, if I'm honest,

423
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 5: as the Suns rallied past the Wolves wild game that one,

424
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 5: and we also had Desmond Bane leading the Grizzlies past

425
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 5: the Nets, even though Kyrie scored forty three. So those

426
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: two teams, the Suns and the Grizzlies monster fourth quarters tray.

427
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 5: So what was the more impressive one to you, Phoenix

428
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 5: or Memphis? What you got both?

429
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 6: Damn both umper impressive suck Yeah. Next, Grazy was tied

430
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: with about eight minutes left, Kyrie and Kadi both playing

431
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 6: incredibly well. Because it's a road game, there's also no

432
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 6: jam Morant for the Grizzlies, which seems like it should

433
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 6: be a disadvantage but apparently is, and the Grizzlies had

434
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 6: already blown a big lead at this point, so you're

435
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 6: thinking Brooklyn kind of set up nice for a wind here,

436
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 6: but not so fast. My friend Brandon Clark subs into

437
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 6: the game, starts making a lot of plays with his activity,

438
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 6: his athleticism, and Desmond Bane said he'd heard enough of

439
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 6: the Batman talk the past couple of days. Three threes

440
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 6: in a minute and twenty four seconds. It was quick, decisive,

441
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 6: and unexpected. The Grizzlies blowing out the nets here in

442
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter the Suns in the Wolves was kind

443
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 6: of the opposite for me. Minnesota had the lead going

444
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 6: into the fourth quarter, but it's really tough to beat

445
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 6: the Suns in the fourth quarter, even if they don't

446
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 6: have Chris Paul. They just know how to win. Three

447
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 6: players for Phoenix scored in double digits in the fourth quarter,

448
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 6: started with Landry shammittt.

449
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: I thought he was great.

450
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 6: Ten points in the quarter, kept the Suns connected. While

451
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 6: Booker was there on the bench, he was hitting from outside.

452
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 6: DeAndre Ayton was dominating inside eleven points for eight and

453
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: in the quarter. He had a career high thirty five

454
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 6: on the night, and he owned the pain on both ends.

455
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: I heard today on the Daily Ding that he's made

456
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 6: more hook shots than dunks this season. Wow, how is

457
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: that possible?

458
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: It's wild.

459
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 6: He did do dunks. He did do some dunks in

460
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 6: this game, which I thought was cool. The Timberwolves broadcast

461
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 6: said he's playing by himself out there, which we'll get

462
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 6: to in just a little bit. The last stuff, though,

463
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 6: was Devin Booker eleven points in the quarter and he

464
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 6: only played five minutes. He checked in right away, assist

465
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 6: lay up three pointer, and then he ended D'Angelo Russell's

466
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 6: life with slam dunk and just got a little taunting

467
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 6: technical as a treat there.

468
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 5: You could tell Booker and really the entire Sun's team

469
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 5: they were fed up with the Wolves running their mouth

470
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 5: all night.

471
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Booker.

472
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 6: Especially well, And I mean they're all buddies, right, Allen's

473
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 6: Booker and D'Angelo Russell. So I mean he was like,

474
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 6: I'm gonna flex as long as it takes for me

475
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 6: to get a technical foul here, so he did. They

476
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 6: finally gave it to him and then he started smiling again.

477
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 6: This was awesome. So for me, it was the Suns.

478
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 6: They did it on the road. They were playing a

479
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: hot team. Ye, And there was no Chris Paul question

480
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 6: for you guys. Where was Karl Anthony Towns in the

481
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 6: fourth quarter?

482
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah trouble? Yeah?

483
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: Why why was he in foul? Trouble? He was guarding

484
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 6: Jake Crowder all night.

485
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: He put that one flagrant though too, when he.

486
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 6: Popped Shamman there.

487
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was a that was a tough call.

488
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: But I mean he's got to guard DeAndre Ayton.

489
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

490
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 6: The broadcast is like, there's nobody to guard DeAndre Ayton

491
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 6: out there. There's a seven footer out there that's got

492
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 6: to be Towns's matchup. I know it's not his strength

493
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 6: is guarding other big guys, but come on this, that's

494
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 6: honestly a little bit ridiculous that he can't even try

495
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: and stick them in.

496
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 5: The I feel like there was maybe someone's stack going

497
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: around on Twitter that Eating sort of owned Towns early

498
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: in their matchups in their careers here, and it's a

499
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 5: ton of games and I.

500
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: Think them, Yeah, well, Towns was talking to talk the

501
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: other day saying like, we feel we can beat anyone.

502
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: They've got a tough schedule here, They've got them, They've

503
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: lost to the Mavericks, They've lost here. They've got the

504
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: Mavericks again, maybe without Lucas, So that's one there. But

505
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: these are the sort of moments where playoff games, this

506
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: is the intensity. And this was a tight game, and

507
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: Booker came out and basically just sort of took it

508
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: away from them as well. Though it was close enough,

509
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: but you could sort of see the Wolves weren't really

510
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: able to match that level of championship contention that where

511
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: the Suns are at now. The Sun's going into this game,

512
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 2: you're wondering what they're playing for right now, because they've

513
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: locked up the first seat. You know, it's one of

514
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: those games where they don't need to go for it.

515
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: Their down double digits at the half, but they really

516
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: wanted this in the end. Last night there was a lot.

517
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 5: I think of the shit talking too, man, like I

518
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 5: seriously do. It was a part of them like, nah,

519
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: because I'm with you. I was like, I was the

520
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: only one. We'll get to our pick. I'm like I

521
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: took Minnesota, big reason why. Of course they've been playing well,

522
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 5: but it was like, yeah, they got something to play

523
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 5: for Suns, They're fine. They might coast a little bit here.

524
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 5: But I think within this game it was chippy. I mean,

525
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 5: I thought the refs were starting to lose control of

526
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 5: the game a little bit too. And yeah, I just

527
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: felt like fumes like, no, we're no, We've justaid we're

528
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 5: not going to lose this one tonight.

529
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: So I think that's Monty Williams saying, listen, just because

530
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: just because we've locked it all out, let's not take

531
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: you foot off the gas. Yeah, let's keep on playing.

532
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. The end of the second quarter was sort of

533
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: like the end of the fourth quarter. We were talking about

534
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: earlier this week with the Wolves game lasting forever. It

535
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: was game yeah, for forever. But you gotta love the

536
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: way the Suns have responded. What are they playing for?

537
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: They're playing to be champs. Man. Devin Booker has just

538
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: evolved the last couple of years, went to an NBA

539
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: finals and now he is ready. The way he was

540
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: talking junk to to the other team's bench, to the

541
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Wolves bench, that's that's something, man. It feels good to

542
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: be Uh. You know, you've been to Devin Booker for

543
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: a long time seeing this growth. He's a killer right now.

544
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: And Chris Paul, the guy who taught him how to

545
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: be a killer. He was almost back. There was rumors

546
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: that he was going to be back in this game.

547
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: Sam Ammick of The Athletic Reporter that it could have

548
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: been that game where he showed up. So he's coming soon.

549
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: He's coming up back a lot earlier than expected, you know,

550
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: it is. It is getting close to, you know, the

551
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: six week mark of his injury, so he should be back.

552
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: But great show there on the other side. Yeah, the

553
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Grizzlies now fifteen and two without John Morant, beat this

554
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets team, they have.

555
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: Like the best offense and the best defense when John.

556
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: Play against Yeah, Steve Nash said before the game, this

557
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: team just sort of ran us out the gym the

558
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: last time we played them, twenty four offensive rebounds. That

559
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: made me sick. And then the first half they did

560
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: something similar. They scored seventy six points and the fast

561
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: break points. They destroyed them in that category twenty seven

562
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: to fourteen. And then the Nets tried to come back,

563
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, they got seventy eight combined from Irving and Durant,

564
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: but yeah, they did. They weren't ready to play in

565
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: this game. Unfortunately.

566
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: It was a one point game with nine minutes to go,

567
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 2: and the Nets didn't score for five minutes. And in

568
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: that five minutes, Jaron Jackson contested two Kevin Durant shots

569
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: that made it difficult. He stole or you know, got

570
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: it out of his hands, and Durant also dribbled off

571
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: his foot and he also Jaron Jackson blocked the Kyrie

572
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: Irving shot their offense. Desmond Baye was incredible. I thought

573
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: Jaron Jackson's like his athleticism and he's switchability and flexibility.

574
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: No one shots Kevin Durant down but he's their best

575
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: guy to at least contest those shots and made life

576
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: difficult for it because the turnover was just like the

577
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: pressure was there and he lost the ball, and then

578
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: the other one he just like dislodged it out of

579
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: his hand. Jaron Jackson has been incredible for this team

580
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: this year. I'm so impressed with him, and he's definitely

581
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: an All first team NBA defensive player. He could win

582
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. I really think he could.

583
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: He was in the running for sure. These three games

584
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: we've talked about so far, they just gotta be hype

585
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: for the playoffs because there like some.

586
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: Intensity either was in their own team in the Miami

587
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 5: Heats games or obviously the opposition in some of these

588
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 5: other ones. It was like I'm ready, like, let's go,

589
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: let's start the playoffs already. A couple other games, though,

590
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 5: to give you a what you got question and task,

591
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 5: you can get a start on this one. We have

592
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 5: Jowell and Bed and the Sixers holding off the lebron

593
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 5: liss Lakers one one, so Philly pulls it out, and

594
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 5: then we had Tatum and Brown continuing their hot streak

595
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 5: as the Celtics roll once again one twenty five ninety

596
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: seven over the Utah Jazz. So Philly's forty five and

597
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 5: twenty seven Boston's forty six and twenty eight. They're basically

598
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 5: in a virtual tie there, I believe, with Milwaukee still

599
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: for second place as they try and chase down Miami

600
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 5: the number one seed. So it's a tough question. But

601
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 5: who is more likely to finish higher in the East

602
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 5: from these two games last night? Is it the Sixers

603
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 5: or is it the Celtics who just can't seem to

604
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: lose right now?

605
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: I think it's the Sixers. Their schedule is easier, and

606
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: I know it's probably the unsexy answer, but I think

607
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: that helps them and the Celtics do have a bit

608
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: of a tough sked. The Celtics story is incredible. They

609
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: were the eleventh seed in January. Now they're fighting for

610
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: the top seed. Ye, so an absolute blast to watch.

611
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: I'll jump in on that game there. Celtics Jazz. I

612
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: think this Jazz are the team that people should want

613
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: to face in the postseason. They don't want to fight back,

614
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: they really don't. They got down early in this game.

615
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: They did not respond whatsoever. And it's not just a

616
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: one time thing. It's become a bit of a habit

617
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: with them. It's a pattern throughout this season. Yeah, they're

618
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: down thirty two yesterday the Celtics were playing great, but

619
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: the Jazz are four and twenty two in games when

620
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: they trail by double digits, they don't fight back. Only

621
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: teams with the worst record in those scenarios are all

622
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: lottery teams, and that's John Schuman with a great stat there.

623
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: So if you're in the West playoffs, they're now tied

624
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: for the fourth seed with the Dallas Mavericks. After that loss,

625
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: it's a virtual lock right there. You want to play them, undoubtedly.

626
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: And what happened in this game is the Celtics were

627
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: so good defensively they can switch, and the Jazz just

628
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: don't have the creativity or the big man to punish

629
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: any switchability. And so if they get into a situation

630
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: with the MAVs who can switch, that would be the

631
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: series right now in the West, the four or five.

632
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: That's that's bad news. Yeah I would, if I would. Yeah,

633
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: they because you're the prototype is there? Switch on him,

634
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Put a little guy on Gobert. He's not gonna punish you.

635
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, they don't have enough ball handling on the outside.

636
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: They had more turnovers than assists in this game. I

637
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: know the Celtics are an incredible defense, but that's that's wild.

638
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: That's that's wild. The Jazz should be getting it together,

639
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: and you do have to be playing somewhat well going

640
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You can't just flip a switch. And

641
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: I know Donovan's gonna flip a switch and play pretty

642
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: good offensively. But there's the there's the template switch on them.

643
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna make They're not gonna make you pay.

644
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, back to the question there, they will tray the East,

645
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 5: you like, do you agree with test that Philly might

646
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 5: still pull out the number two seed here or is

647
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: it more likely you think Boston having won twenty three

648
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 5: of twenty seven.

649
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 6: Games now, the schedule certainly favors Philadelphia. But man, the

650
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: Celtics are just on fire right now. Twenty six for Brown,

651
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 6: twenty six for Tatum. I think they had thirty and

652
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: thirty a piece in the last game. Jalen Brown called

653
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: out Jason Tatum said he's trying to copy me. He

654
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 6: sees the celebrations that I do in practice, and then

655
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 6: he does them during the game. So I don't know,

656
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 6: this is a team that not only were they bad

657
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 6: in the first half of the season, they also had

658
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 6: very bad vibes, and the vibes have completely switched. And

659
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 6: Jalen Brown was explaining it in terms of astrology last night.

660
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 6: So I don't know, they seem to have found something.

661
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 6: They seem to have manifested their destiny at this point.

662
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 6: So the Celtics are playing too well right now? Where

663
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 6: is the Sixers. I'm just not totally convinced you're going

664
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 6: to get a great effort every single night. Between Harden

665
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 6: and Embiid, they were both good last night, I think,

666
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 6: and Bead'll probably start resting a little bit down the

667
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 6: stretch here as we get closer and closer to the

668
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 6: playoff time because they want him as fresh as he

669
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 6: can possibly be. Whereas the Celtics, it feels like they

670
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 6: don't want to mess with anything right now because they

671
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 6: found the perfect rhythm, the perfect identity.

672
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: They want the playoffs to stop right now. Yeah, because

673
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: the bull last night in the first quarter, they were

674
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: just flinging it around like doesn't matter what we do,

675
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: it's going to come off. Hey, people tweeting me, is

676
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart going to break Scott Scale's nine a quick one,

677
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: but that's the thing that just like doesn't stop moving.

678
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: And the Jazz are known to be a good defensive team.

679
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: They were down twenty three in the first half at

680
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: that half time here, so I think it's Boston just

681
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: because of the way they're playing. I also think the

682
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: six is a little harder to believe that they're going

683
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: to give it everything down the stretch here, because maybe

684
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: they do want to avoid one of those teams, I

685
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: know what. But honestly, Boston right now, it's just like, Yeah,

686
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: we're just playing at such a high level. I think

687
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: they get there. I mean they're all Boston, Milwaukee, Philadelphia

688
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: all only a game and a half back of Miami,

689
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: so one of them could take the number one sure easily.

690
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: And I just think Boston's playing the best out of

691
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: anyone right now.

692
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: On January twenty first, the Celtics last of the Blazers.

693
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: They were twenty three and twenty four, and it was

694
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: around that time Task was telling us here in the

695
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 5: Classic Factory there was a perfect five hundred team because

696
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 5: they kept going up one game, then fell back to

697
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 5: five hundred, go down one game in this case, come back,

698
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 5: but since then sort of late January, like basically what

699
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 5: two months ago. At this point, like I said, they've

700
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 5: won twenty three to twenty seven games, and eight of

701
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 5: those victories by twenty five or more points. The last

702
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 5: team lead to be on this type of like run,

703
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 5: like dominant run where you're just hammering squads was the

704
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 5: fifteen to sixteen San Antonio Spurs. That team won sixty

705
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: seven games. Yeah, now I think they that team struggled

706
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 5: in the playoffs.

707
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, the second round fifteen to sixteen. Yeah, they

708
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: didn't go to the final.

709
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: They know that.

710
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: So but yeah, this is like that's how elite they are.

711
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 5: That's how Boston is playing like a sixty five win

712
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: team right now. And yeah Smart as the playmaker obviously

713
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 5: your two guys that can score, and Tatum and Brown

714
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: and then Robert Williams. I mean last night four blocks,

715
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 5: two steals. That's becoming normal. And Horford is three blocks

716
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 5: as well. It's this elite defense with those two guys

717
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 5: as your scorers for the most part and the ball moving.

718
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Wow.

719
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: They I'm with you if I'm picking between these two

720
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: teams to answer this what you got, I think.

721
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: I'm going Boston.

722
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: I just don't see why this would slow down even

723
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: if they do play better teams. I mean, they have

724
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 5: been playing better teams.

725
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: Destroying I think Philly's got six of their last ten

726
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: on the road too, against Fainas, so they've got a

727
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: little bit of a toughest schedule. I think, yeah, that

728
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: in terms of traveling stuff. But we'll see.

729
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 5: All right, let's stay at first break, that's what you got,

730
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: but we'll get to some of the other games last night.

731
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 5: We'll take a look at the playing teams and who

732
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: lost and who won last night, So don't go anywhere.

733
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: We'll be right back, all right, back with the boys

734
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 5: in the Classic Factory here on a Thursday. Some other

735
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 5: games to touch on, and we'll look at the playing

736
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 5: teams as well. But let's start with the Luca les

737
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 5: MAVs pulling away. They beat the last place Rockets one

738
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 5: to ten ninety one. So no Luca, but Dinwitty another

739
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 5: great game. Jalen Brunson awesome. He scored sixteen in the

740
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 5: third maps took control there. In the second half. They

741
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: outscored Houston fifty eight to thirty eight overall in that

742
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 5: second frame. Brunson without Luca this season is averaging basically

743
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 5: twenty and eight if you want a round up, shooting

744
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 5: forty nine, thirty five and eighty from the three spots,

745
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 5: field goal three and at the line. And the mas

746
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 5: are five and one in their last six games with

747
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: Brunson and with elt Luca showed out to stat muse

748
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: for that one.

749
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: This guy is gonna get paid. I love Jillen Brunson.

750
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: I do.

751
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 5: And I know there was reports in January what like

752
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 5: he and his camp is seeking like four for eighty.

753
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a no brainer.

754
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 5: That will be a deal. I mean, the way he's playing,

755
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: and if he has a great playoff run in him

756
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 5: or two series or two, it could go up, which

757
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: sounds a little insane. But he's easily worth that. He's

758
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: you know, the Knicks of course should want him. I

759
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 5: think the Maps are definitely gonna want try and keep him.

760
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 6: But he is.

761
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: He just continues to impress meately. Yeah, there's something weird

762
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: about his contract. I can't remember exactly what it is

763
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: that the Maps can only offer him a certain amount.

764
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: I believe because he's on a four year, six million

765
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: dollar deal right now.

766
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 6: Weak and round her.

767
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so, but I the Mavericks of course, there

768
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: was rumors that maybe they'll trade him because they couldn't

769
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: afford to pay him whatever, but they will give him

770
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: as much as they can. He's very, very important to

771
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: what they do, whether he's a starter or coming off

772
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 2: the bench. I know he started last night, and he

773
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: tends to start with Dinwoodie coming off the bench. But

774
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: things are just going incredibly well. We talk about the Celtics,

775
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 2: the Mavericks of the Celtics of the East right now,

776
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: just playing really really well. Last night. I were leading

777
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: early and it was like the Rockets made them just

778
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: work in that third quarter just to put it away.

779
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: But every win is important to them right now, and

780
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 2: that was a pretty impressive one.

781
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 5: That victory pulls Dallas even with Utah. We showed you

782
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: the playoff picture there forty five and twenty eight for

783
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 5: the four seed, but right now the Jazz currently hold

784
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 5: the tiebreaker though they play on Sunday, so I can't

785
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: wait for Monday show when we.

786
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: Get to talk about that game. It's a big game

787
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: there between.

788
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 5: Dallas and Utah and who look like they're destined to

789
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 5: play each other, like you were talking about.

790
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: That, absolutely and they want to the Luca versus Rudy.

791
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: That's gonna be good. It's gonna be chatty, it's gonna

792
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: be physical. Rudy's gonna want to take that on as well,

793
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: because that's where he thrives. He thrives on that end.

794
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't like just ripping him at on him about

795
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: the def the offensive end. Excuse me, but that's that's

796
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: where the Jazz lose games. To me, the defensive end

797
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: will be fine, but the offensive end. Yeah, I think

798
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: the MAVs are playing way too well to even be

799
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 1: threatened by this Jaess.

800
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 5: Team and those two teams, like if they were to

801
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 5: match up in a four or five, like they desperately

802
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: need to get out of the first round.

803
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: You know, Luca hasn't done that yet with Dallas and.

804
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: The team they're putting together there, and obviously the Jazz

805
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 5: have plans to go further than one round. But you

806
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 5: sort of have to at some point with this this

807
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 5: core of Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, you have to make

808
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 5: decisions that you probably don't really want to make. So, yeah,

809
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 5: that'll be They'll be awesome if it stays like that.

810
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 5: Anything to add to to Bruntson and the MAVs victory.

811
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 5: I mean it's over the Rockets, I know, but they're

812
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 5: playing well.

813
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 6: Like lisaid, wait, who's playing well?

814
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: Excuse me? The mass Oh?

815
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 6: Okay, I was like, who I was just looking at

816
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 6: the Rockets incredible string of losses in their past twenty

817
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: two games, three and nineteen in their last twenty two

818
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 6: some clutch tanking. The Knicks should pay Jalen Brunson a

819
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 6: max contract. I kind of thinkach they need They just

820
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 6: need a point guard, honestly.

821
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And.

822
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 6: I don't know is this still true that if you

823
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 6: if he's a second round draft pick, that the MAVs

824
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 6: don't have restricted free agency matching rates, so that would

825
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 6: make it too expensive for you.

826
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just trying to find about it now. Because

827
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: of his contract. Right now, the maximum they can offer

828
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: is an extension of one hundred and twenty percent on

829
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: the estimated average NBA salary. So it's a bit geeky.

830
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: But they can't just throw a book at him like

831
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: they might look at Ellisberg.

832
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

833
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know because it's been sort of talked

834
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: about a lot this season. Is something weird. That's Yeah,

835
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: they will have to fend off suitors because I think

836
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: others can throw a big bag at him. Did you

837
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: agree with Trey like the Knicks should be very yeah. Yeah,

838
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 2: I mean Jalen Brunson would fit on almost every time.

839
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: I can't see a bad fit out there because he's

840
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: a very very good role player, very good.

841
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

842
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: I mean he's been compared. We've done it before, like

843
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 5: Ta van Vliet and stuff like that. Like I see

844
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 5: a lot of similarities, just like the steady Freddy.

845
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: In his case.

846
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 5: But that's Brunton's like that too, man guy like last night.

847
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 5: I know again he's playing the rock so it's like

848
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 5: sort of who cares, but he's attack and hit that

849
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 5: little float obviously can shoot, like we said with those

850
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: numbers when Luke's not there and he gets even more opportunity.

851
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 5: Pretty special stuff. All right, let's keep it going here

852
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: because we don't need to go along on MAVs over

853
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 5: the Rockets. So you are right, I mean, do you

854
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 5: have tank us on up in front of you. It's

855
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: got the magic loss last night thunder one, so it's

856
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 5: magic Bend a little bit too good, Liketon's one.

857
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 6: I mean, so Houston's in the lead right now, Houston, Orlando, Detroit,

858
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 6: Oklahoma City, Indiana or our top five. I'll give you

859
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 6: a quick sim right here.

860
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: Okay, sim it up.

861
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 6: What do you think.

862
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: I'm looking at?

863
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 2: Big reaction? I mean Rockets, Detroit, Piston, Cad and Chet.

864
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, on that, I seem to know. I got

865
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 2: Indiana one, Detroit dropped a six on I almost want

866
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: to fire it up.

867
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 5: Let's look at the East playing teams, because we had

868
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 5: some weird results last night. Remember we married the Knicks

869
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 5: and said it was over. Well, maybe it's not over, okay.

870
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: R J.

871
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: Barrett and the Knicks. They beat Charlotte last night one six,

872
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 5: so they snapped the Hornets five game win streak. Obviously,

873
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 5: the Nets lost last night to the Grizzlies, as we

874
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 5: talked about, and then Grant and Kate Cunningham they lead

875
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: the Pistons to the rare dominant win over the Hawks.

876
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: What is wrong with Atlanta Hawks? Man?

877
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 5: So, yeah, we're showing you the race here if you

878
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 5: want to call it that. For the East play in

879
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 5: I included Brooklyn because they're only a game up on Charlotte,

880
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 5: which is amazing. And I know we'll get to the

881
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 5: Kyrie news here in a second part. Yeah, uh, Trey,

882
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 5: what do you think of this shaking down? Are the

883
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 5: Are the Knicks still the undertaker?

884
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 6: Shout out to Math. The Knicks are alive. It was

885
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 6: a must win game for the next and they pulled

886
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 6: it out. They're still at least competing and playing hard

887
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 6: right now, so that's good for them. And RJ. Barrett's

888
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 6: been pretty good, especially with Julius Randall. He was not

889
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 6: playing last night. That's better for r J. Barrett. His

890
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 6: second straight thirty point game, third time in his last

891
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 6: five that he's gone for thirty or more. You can

892
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 6: just see not having Julius Randall there pounding the ball

893
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 6: and taking up space in the lane really helps him.

894
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 6: Five makes at the rim, eight free throw attempts for Barrett.

895
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 6: He hits some threes as well. He's probably a second

896
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 6: score for a good team. That's probably his ceiling to me,

897
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 6: But he's doing all right here as a number one guy.

898
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 6: The Knicks also hit twenty threes in this one, including

899
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 6: four from Evan fourty. Yeah, who's now the all time

900
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 6: Knicks leader in single season threes.

901
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: That's the weirdest. He tweeted a bit last That's cool.

902
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: I was like, no, what, Yeah, how does mellow not

903
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 2: hold that at least Mellow.

904
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 6: I mean, Melow didn't want to shoot threes when I guess.

905
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: He took the just felt like, you know, Fournier's coming.

906
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: It feels like Forny a bi'll even play you sometimes.

907
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: But who did he? Who did he?

908
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: Eclipse Starks?

909
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: Starks Johnny holding on to that.

910
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good point. That's a long time for

911
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 6: him to hold that record. But tough loss for the Hornets.

912
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 6: They could have tied the Nets for eighth last night

913
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 6: with Brooklyn losing, but they also just won five straight,

914
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 6: so it's like, yeah, you know, it's the Hornets five straight,

915
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 6: five and one. That's an incredible six game stretch for them.

916
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 6: As for the Hawks, it was the second game we

917
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 6: went back to back, it was their third game in

918
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 6: four nights. It was their fourth and sixth nights. Those

919
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 6: are good excuses for losing to a team you should

920
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 6: still beat.

921
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm more disappointed because the Hawks. I want them

922
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: to have at least one playoff game. Playoffs, so we

923
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: get down the Fortress. It was awesome last season, but

924
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: right now they won't. They won't get one. They won't

925
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: and that was a perfect chance to at least tie

926
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: the horn now the Hornets I believe have the tiebreaker

927
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: based on their division standings because it was two two

928
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: during the season, so the Hornets slightly ahead of them.

929
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: But a man, if the Hawks don't get one playoff game,

930
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be.

931
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 6: They got to play in game.

932
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: It's gonna I mean tough. I mean yeah, I mean

933
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 2: it's going to be unless they beat the Hornets and

934
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: then beat the Raptors. Charlotte's like a four hour drive

935
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 2: or something. Isn't no matter what.

936
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 6: The Hawks have lost to the Pistons twice this month.

937
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 6: Also the Pelicans, at least they're playing for something and

938
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 6: the Hornets. You gotta beat the teams you're gonna be.

939
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 6: Also shout out to Bay last night, he became the

940
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 6: all time single season three point records for the Pasts.

941
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 6: He's got one of the most beautiful jumpers in the

942
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 6: Alan Houston. That would have been a young Allen.

943
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: Years. Wow. Cool.

944
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 2: Back to the nets.

945
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 5: There's some big news obviously surrounding this team. New York

946
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 5: Mayor Eric Adams will lift the city's COVID nineteen vaccine

947
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 5: mandate on athletes I guess entertainers today, paving the way

948
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 5: task for Kyrie to play at the Barclay Center on Sunday.

949
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 5: Uh And also if you're into baseball, the Yankees and

950
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 5: Mets can play.

951
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting timing. Yeah, and Aaron Judge's status up in

952
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: the air. Aaron Judge may have swing for the fences. Yeah,

953
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: I think that could be a part of it. Anyways,

954
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: the only place you can't play Toronto, still can't play there.

955
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: That would be the seven eight matchup. He would have

956
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: to go to Toronto and watch his him.

957
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 2: I guess, wouldn't.

958
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: I guess he'll watch Yeah.

959
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks like we will see Kyrie at home. Yeah. Look,

960
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 2: they're on the eight and twelve in the games Kyrie's played.

961
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: It feels like they've got a better record than that,

962
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, because one of the things we talked about

963
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 2: is like, even though they're the Nets with Kevin Durant,

964
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: can they still go all the way? But their record

965
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 2: hasn't been that good. And you saw last night. Every game,

966
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: every series is going to have to be one on

967
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: the road. It's going to be a grind. So he

968
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 2: obviously makes them better. They'd rather have him out there,

969
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: but it's not like it's just a straight line here

970
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: for the Nets. There's still got plenty of work to do.

971
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: But also one thing, Kyrie Evans got four nicknames on

972
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 2: Basketball Reference. Did you know all of these? They're pretty

973
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 2: Uncle Drew Uncle Drew. Yeah, Kai Kai is one. Yeah, instructor.

974
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 2: There's like a wrestling type of monica that he has there.

975
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: There's a wrestler, famous wrestler who wore a hat, big

976
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: big trend coat, the undertra but he's the ankle Oh yeah, yeah,

977
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 2: yeah yes. But then there's one I haven't heard. It's

978
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: pretty funny. It's in reference to one of the claims

979
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: he's made flat. World be flat. Yeah, that's pretty good.

980
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty good.

981
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: What happens to nickname? Other than it's more just like

982
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: mucking him, really, isn't it?

983
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 5: You imagine somebody in the Prescott Yeah, hey, world be flat.

984
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 5: I just wanted to get your take on the game.

985
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 5: Last we won't even say what do you do?

986
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

987
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,479
Speaker 5: All right, let's uh just quickly look at the West

988
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 5: play in sort of games. Last night we had de

989
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 5: Jontay Murray. He had twenty eight points as the Spurs

990
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 5: destroyed the Blazers one thirty three to ninety six. So

991
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 5: San Antonio, they're still alive. There are a game and

992
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 5: a half back of the Pelicans to get into the

993
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 5: play in as we show the starybody task, and then

994
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 5: we also had Damian Jones. He had a last second

995
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 5: tip to lift the Kings over the Pacers one ten,

996
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 5: one oh nine. Though I feel like we sort of wrote.

997
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 2: Off Sacramento a while ago. There's there's sort of like the.

998
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 5: Knicks mathematically, yeah, mathematically they're still alive though, task, But yeah,

999
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 5: what do you think here?

1000
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1001
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: Last night I had a difficult decision as I was

1002
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: watching Kings Pacers. You have two teams that are not

1003
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: making the postseason?

1004
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: Right?

1005
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: Is this the time of year where you stop watching

1006
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: the teams that aren't making the postseason? Because I was

1007
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: watching down the stretch. Yeah, you got Damian Jones fighting

1008
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: for his job in the NBA. I guess that's what

1009
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: is happening here the last few weeks the season. Guys

1010
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: who were on this sort of the the outskirts. Am

1011
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: I that much of a hardcore? Am I gonna be

1012
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: watching Kings Pacers? Yeah? I watched the end of it.

1013
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: That's fun, that's fine. That's all you need to watch.

1014
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's all you need to watch? Absolutely, Yeah,

1015
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: the Kings are not making it. Spurs. Also playing against

1016
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: Chris Dunn was starting for the Portland Trailage point guard. Yeah,

1017
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: former hok former bawl obviously former Yeah. Uh. He's on

1018
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: a ten day with the Blazers because Simons is hurt.

1019
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: Those were the most exciting things I got from those

1020
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: two basketball games, Lee, what about you well? Also also

1021
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: though sorry the Pelicans probably a better dunk from Zion

1022
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: Williamson a day after we saw the legs in between

1023
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: the legs. If you guys saw that he was going

1024
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: up against Corey Brewer, who was an assistant coach with

1025
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, it was a one on one movere. He

1026
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: dunked on Corey Brewer's ass.

1027
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 2: So this is like the new Ben Simmons and around

1028
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 2: in a gym.

1029
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: It's like, look at the hops on the athletics. The

1030
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: athletic had what a fricking tease if he just he's

1031
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: gonna be the dunk guy, He's gonna be the dunk

1032
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: guy for the last couple of weeks. He's because I

1033
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: assume he's not coming back. Pretty sure it looks like

1034
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: he couldn't come back. This is a right people have.

1035
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 6: Wanted Upstates all year from the Pelicans, and the question

1036
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 6: has been how come Zion is so silent here? And

1037
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 6: also how come he's not playing basketball against anybody in household?

1038
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 6: How come he's not with the team. So now he's

1039
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: with the team, he's playing and he's actually able to

1040
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 6: play one on one. I think it's actually good, uh

1041
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 6: for the Pelicans. But man, what a difference in booses

1042
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 6: between Zion Williamson.

1043
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: And Corey Brewery.

1044
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 6: That's crazy, Like you put them both together.

1045
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 2: It's like one advertised man have his thoughts on the

1046
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: those asses or the West. Well, the Kings won the

1047
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 2: trade obviously with the Paces in this Yeah, but it

1048
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of dunks, met To had a big dunk a

1049
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: couple of nights ago. It was against someone. But yeah, listen,

1050
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: I say I say that because honestly, the Kings have

1051
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: fallen off the radar for me, they just haven't been

1052
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: competitive enough this season at also, and last night we

1053
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: had some great games going. I'm not wasting my time

1054
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: watching Kings and Paces.

1055
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 6: It was.

1056
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: Early and it came down to well, it got a

1057
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: little up deep close game.

1058
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: And I was also watching Survivor. I don't know how

1059
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: I squeezed it in.

1060
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: We were playing board.

1061
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 5: I wanted to get deep before we take a break.

1062
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 5: You two were out running last night.

1063
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: How did you do? We started off teammates, got a nice,

1064
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: nice WU and then Trade we had a really nice

1065
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: couple of passes. Actually was flash, you are very solid

1066
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: both it was solid pass and then Trade was finishing

1067
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 2: up reverse.

1068
00:45:59,000 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1069
00:45:59,719 --> 00:45:59,959
Speaker 4: World.

1070
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: And then then Tray's team beat my team. I was out,

1071
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: and then we then we were opponents and we had

1072
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: one of the worst games of pick up basketball. You

1073
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: it just would not end this game jumpers.

1074
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 6: It was like, I mean, we played at eight by twos,

1075
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 6: by ones and two, and we must have played for

1076
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 6: forty five minutes one game. I'm probably exaggerating, but it

1077
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 6: was probably like twenty five minutes. It was seven to

1078
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 6: three for the longest time. Like I had my greatest

1079
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 6: rebounding night ever, a thirty three boards total.

1080
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: I was like that spent a lot of misses and

1081
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: there were I think I had five game winning attempts

1082
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: and missed them. All that's and you know, like I'm

1083
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: trying to get other guys involved as well. I was like,

1084
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: all right, it's my turn.

1085
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 6: Nah.

1086
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember how we won in the end. It

1087
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: must have been a sloppy turnover and someone just eventually later.

1088
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: Great fun, though always great fun. Who's the MVP of

1089
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: last night? Not not between you two, but anyone in

1090
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 2: the run who had the sweatpants on tall guy Dominique Dominique.

1091
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's actually a very good player, recently played overseas

1092
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 6: for three years, so I didn't feel its bad that

1093
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 6: he busted my ass last week. I mean, at one

1094
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 6: point he drove baseline and threw down a slam dunk

1095
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 6: and then he broke another guy's ankle, so I was like, uh,

1096
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 6: he was doing it all in.

1097
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's what six three six four?

1098
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 6: He's taller than me, is he? Yeah? I'm like, he's

1099
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 6: like the lebron of the pickup. The levels have gone

1100
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 6: up this year's skeets. I don't know why, but that's good.

1101
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: I've missed last couple. I took an old man's fail

1102
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: on one of these drives to he beat me up

1103
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 2: the dribble, and I think it was close to sort of.

1104
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: The game just said adding baskets, so I just reached

1105
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 2: in raised the hand. That's fine, no easy baskets, that's good.

1106
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 5: Okay, let's take our final break when we come back

1107
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 5: tweet the night and pick him results don't go anywhere,

1108
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 5: all right, It's about that time in the show for

1109
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 5: a little tweet of.

1110
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: The night.

1111
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: Tweet over night.

1112
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 6: Wow, Oh, I've got the honors and I've got a

1113
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 6: delicious tweet for you. Here comes to us from NBC

1114
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 6: Sports Boston. A cute moment in that Celtics game last night.

1115
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart is inbounding the ball on the side of

1116
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 6: the court and Jason Tatum's son, Deuce, comes up smacks

1117
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 6: him in the booze during the inbounds. Very cute, very cute.

1118
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: This is awesome.

1119
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 6: Postgame, Marcus Smart said he felt Deuce trying to smack him.

1120
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 6: Quote Marcus, Me and Deuce got a love hate relationship.

1121
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 6: He said that about a shot. I was actually expecting it.

1122
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,479
Speaker 6: Deuce is trying to attack me anytime, so I guess

1123
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 6: he just knew this.

1124
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 2: Uh.

1125
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 6: You know, if Deuce and Marcus Smart getting near each other,

1126
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 6: it's on site for Deuce.

1127
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: They're throwing down.

1128
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 2: It's very funny.

1129
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: Surprise Marcus didn't flop, Yeah.

1130
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: Falls over. Great moment there.

1131
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 5: Fun tweeted the night pick of results from last night.

1132
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 5: It was the Sun's Wolves game. I was the only

1133
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 5: one to take Minnesota. I was feeling good for a

1134
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 5: couple of quarters. I was like, yep, called it. They're

1135
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 5: playing for playing for something a little bit more than

1136
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,919
Speaker 5: the Phoenix Suns are. But no Phoenix said came back huge.

1137
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 5: As we talked about earlier in the show, they get

1138
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 5: the win.

1139
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: This brought to you by MGM. So that's an l

1140
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 2: for me.

1141
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 5: I'm nine to eight task and Trey go to ten

1142
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 5: and seven and Lee right behind me two games behind

1143
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 5: me at seven and ten.

1144
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: You gained a game, So that's big. So five on

1145
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: tonight tasks where we pick.

1146
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: Five on Yeah, the one on NBA TV. Also the

1147
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns featured in that game. They're visiting the Nuggets.

1148
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: Kind of a surprising line to me. Three and a

1149
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: half points. The Nuggets are favored by at home to Phoenix,

1150
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: who was obviously on a back to back, But the

1151
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: Nuggets desperately want to hang on to that sixth seed

1152
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. They want to stay in the

1153
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: actual playoffs. So the only one on the Suns skeets

1154
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: myself and Trey on the Nuggets. I assume Skates, you're

1155
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: taking Nuggets because they have something too.

1156
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why I'm worried now. But yeah, the

1157
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: back to back, I guess situation. I thought the line

1158
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: was strange too. I did three and a half for

1159
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 2: Denver towards let's if the Sun if they rest players,

1160
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 2: which they could very well second out of a back

1161
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: to back, but they've won six in a row and

1162
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: they could win their sixtieth game tonight, So I'm hoping

1163
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: that's the sort of Monty's like, let's go for it.

1164
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 2: There's just such a machine to even if they rest

1165
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: a guy or two, it's yeah, still no, of course

1166
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 2: they could. I just you know, you could just sort

1167
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: of see it like book shits Bridges maybe, but Ayton's

1168
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: on a tear. Maybe they just want to get yah,

1169
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 2: let's hope.

1170
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, So okay, you're two games back. Yeah, if

1171
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 5: you gain another one, that would be big as we

1172
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 5: get into the final week of March, which is next week.
