Speaker 3: Matt BOOSTI. As they said, we couldn't get to one hundred.
Speaker 3: Well guess what. We're at one o eight and we're
Speaker 3: still going in the sixers. Thet's right, Yeah, the buck
Speaker 3: not so much.
Speaker 4: The Lakers and Warriors are in the plane once again. Whoop,
Speaker 4: And we are here to talk about that and plenty
Speaker 4: more with meeting Sean Dean on today's episode.
Speaker 2: I'm Miles Great and I'm Jack O'Brien and this is
Speaker 2: anyway It.

Speaker 4: America's Uncle Dad Anyway. Good to have you Sean, thank
Speaker 4: you so much for joining us again for this third time.
Speaker 5: Very very story on in advance of a huge uh
Speaker 5: playing in playing game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as we recorded, this.
Speaker 6: Probably hosts the nine to ten game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I guess.
Speaker 6: I guess the Lakers could come an eighth.
Speaker 3: Place though, Yeah, potentially it's possible.
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating to be cheering for the Lakers for
Speaker 1: on your guys' behalf, because it seems like they keep
Speaker 1: winning and then they just stay in the nine spot,
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, very frustrating, and it must be frustrating
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 6: It is, it is.
Speaker 5: I will say I don't have a lot of high
Speaker 5: expectations for the worst taking care of business at any
Speaker 5: point in the season, but uh yeah, I think probably
Speaker 5: the best outcome for them would be to draw the
Speaker 5: Sacramento Kings in the not in the ten nine game, right,
Speaker 5: That's probably better for them, And uh, obviously you want
Speaker 5: to not be in the nine ten at all, but
Speaker 5: I don't I think that ship has sailed quite Yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah for the words at least, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're currently Warriors streak games back from Yeah yeah, so.
Speaker 3: The Dubs right now again.
Speaker 4: By the time you all hear this episode, the final
Speaker 4: matchup between.
Speaker 3: My Lakers and John Dubbs will have taken place.
Speaker 4: If the Lakers won, they will have all but guaranteed
Speaker 4: the Warriors wind up in the ten seed in the plane.
Speaker 4: But overall, I like, you just said you don't expect
Speaker 4: them to tc B. What are you expecting from this
Speaker 4: aging group of Warrior players?
Speaker 5: So I'm assuming that Draymond Green was ejected for cooking
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis in the eye times during Tuesdays lost to La.
Speaker 3: Style, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: And they've gotten to a point of like real false
Speaker 5: hope right now where they're kind of like, well, this
Speaker 5: is okay.
Speaker 6: We've we've been beating.
Speaker 5: A lot of the teams that have quit trying or
Speaker 5: are arresting guys.
Speaker 6: This is okay. And there's even been this.
Speaker 5: Rumor that Clay Thompson is going to be out of
Speaker 5: the Magic Range, which I'm pretty sure as a rumor
Speaker 5: started by Clay Thompson's agent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna I was going to ask you
Speaker 4: about the Clay of it all because I saw those
Speaker 4: rumors too, and like the Athletic was like, it's the
Speaker 4: worst kept secret in the NBA, but the Magic want
Speaker 4: him and you're like, oh, really is it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it didn't really seem like the magic do want.
Speaker 5: Honestly, that's why it's a badly kept secret by Clay's team.
Speaker 6: I love Clay to Thompson.
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to be down on him or anything,
Speaker 5: but this is a situation where I kind of feel
Speaker 5: like the Words are going to do whatever other business
Speaker 5: they can do, and then Clay will be offered.
Speaker 6: Left.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like they're going to give him the amount of
Speaker 5: money that lets them stay out of the.
Speaker 6: Tax basically, right, And I.
Speaker 5: Kind of think that was I guess he got an
Speaker 5: extension offer for like two for fifty or something last year,
Speaker 5: something still fairly generous for the kind of one way
Speaker 5: player he is at this point in his scrip.
Speaker 6: But I don't really think he's actually gonna leave. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I just don't.
Speaker 5: It's a weird time for it to come out, but
Speaker 5: I don't really understand how NBA agents do business anyway,
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe this is the perfect time for this
Speaker 5: story to come out.
Speaker 2: Against the Jazz.
Speaker 1: Okay, he got hot against the Jazz in the most
Speaker 1: recent game, so I don't know what you're talking about, So.
Speaker 3: You can play right there. Boom.
Speaker 2: He did have a couple of shots that made me
Speaker 2: remember the time.
Speaker 1: He was one of the first players we talked about
Speaker 1: when we started this podcast, just like him being one
Speaker 1: of the most fun people to see when he goes
Speaker 1: unconscious and is just out of his mind.
Speaker 2: Like against the.
Speaker 1: Jazz, he was doing that thing where he shoots it
Speaker 1: and like doesn't even leave it up, like it doesn't
Speaker 1: even look like a shot. He just kind of flicks
Speaker 1: it at the rim and is like turns around because
Speaker 1: he knows what's going in.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, So he was showing signs of that. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: this is he he was just toying with us all season.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 6: I mean?
Speaker 5: The good the thing is that I guess you can
Speaker 5: credit him for a lot is he has been playing
Speaker 5: a lot like he'll he'll play a lot of mists and.
Speaker 6: A lot of the games.
Speaker 5: It's not like the Warriors have all these other offensive
Speaker 5: options that he's taking touches away from either. So you know,
Speaker 5: it could be frustrating when he starts heat checking when
Speaker 5: he's not actually hot to begin with.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, I was a real heat check confidence guy.
Speaker 1: I just never made the shots, but oh the confidence
Speaker 1: was there.
Speaker 5: You know, he's unconscious out there because he literally doesn't
Speaker 5: isn't aware of anything that's happening around him.
Speaker 4: He's Yeah, I mean I was just looking at like,
Speaker 4: for being thirty four years old and having back to
Speaker 4: back Achilles and ACL tears.
Speaker 3: He's played a lot, like more than respect.
Speaker 4: So there's I mean, that's he's got that going for
Speaker 4: him at least.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's still he's still in pretty good shape.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's it's just that a lot of it's
Speaker 7: just basically like watching this team, all these guys can
Speaker 7: basically hit their top gear again, just not at the
Speaker 7: same time or like for three.
Speaker 2: Games and consistently.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just they're old, you know.
Speaker 5: It's like you can't you can't really have quite the
Speaker 5: same expectations. I do think if they'd had, if Drayvon
Speaker 5: Green had not managed to get himself ejected from I
Speaker 5: think I think he's been ejected from four games and
Speaker 5: suspended from seventeen, and I do think the Warriors might
Speaker 5: have a stranglehold on eighth place without that happening. It's
Speaker 5: not like I think they would be a contender.
Speaker 3: They just a little bit. Yeah, they don't need more.
Speaker 5: More games, maybe three more games, I don't know, or
Speaker 5: he would have actually killed a guy. If he hadn't
Speaker 5: been suspended, he would have missed even more games and
Speaker 5: been prison right now, I don't know, So he could
Speaker 5: have gone either way with a lot of.
Speaker 6: The things that happened this season.
Speaker 5: It doesn't it feel like the Lakers have been playing
Speaker 5: really well though? Yeah, yeah, any Davis does get poked
Speaker 5: in the eye, yeah, I believe like that's great.
Speaker 4: And Darvin Ham has learned that he can look at
Speaker 4: the numbers that indicate that playing Torrian Prince all the
Speaker 4: time is actually not good for the team and playing
Speaker 4: Rory instead is good. So those basic skills of analysis
Speaker 4: have crept in. So I'm I'm grateful for that.
Speaker 5: I've been tricked the same way Darvin Ham has with
Speaker 5: with I think I've There's never really been a point
Speaker 5: in my life before this year where I was watching
Speaker 5: Torrian Prince a lot. But I just always had this
Speaker 5: idea that like, oh he's grade six man, you can
Speaker 5: do it all. He's like three and D and it's
Speaker 5: kind of like he's like a six in a lot
Speaker 5: of categories. It feels like right right, and he's pretty
Speaker 5: frustrating to watch, even as someone who's not supporting the Lakers.
Speaker 5: They know it, doesn't they know They've got like a
Speaker 5: lot of other guys that could be out there right yeah,
Speaker 5: and are like fans most frustrated by Torrian Prince playing
Speaker 5: and Max Christie all the time.
Speaker 3: Is that.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's more more just toring prints. It's mostly Tory.
Speaker 4: It's more like the why is it really playing? More
Speaker 4: kind of thing that that's that's always around the group
Speaker 4: of freaks. I scream out into my phone every time
Speaker 4: the Lakers play.
Speaker 3: But one last question on the Warriors.
Speaker 4: Go to break is is from your perspective? I know
Speaker 4: he said, I We'll see what they do?
Speaker 3: Is this it?
Speaker 2: You think?
Speaker 3: Is this it for Steph, dray and Clay? Like what
Speaker 3: do we is?
Speaker 6: What do we?
Speaker 3: Where do you go from here? If it is?
Speaker 5: Or I mean it's very it's going to be like
Speaker 5: if they don't, if they lose the first playing game,
Speaker 5: it's weird because I their economic model is so weird
Speaker 5: based on all the other stuff they do with the
Speaker 5: victum and everything. I think Clay's coming back probably like
Speaker 5: ninety and Draymond is not going anywhere.
Speaker 6: But I think their.
Speaker 5: Priority is going to be to get under the luxury text,
Speaker 5: and you will see how that that's not usually a
Speaker 5: way that you're going to keep like stepping.
Speaker 6: On the gas pedal.
Speaker 5: Right, I mean, they might do something creative with Chris
Speaker 5: Paul or see what they could get for Wiggins, but
Speaker 5: I actually kind of think they're gonna mostly just run
Speaker 5: it back after the season, which is interesting. Yeah, like
Speaker 5: not not really a contender move, But maybe they just
Speaker 5: don't want to be bad, right.
Speaker 2: Right, right right?
Speaker 5: I mean I think also they don't want to pay
Speaker 5: one hundred million dollars in luxury text to come in ninth, which.
Speaker 6: Right also might be a path not kind of not
Speaker 6: the best.
Speaker 1: Look, yeah, all right, let's let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and come back, and we'll take a look around the league.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 1: And so Milwaukee has lost four in a row as
Speaker 1: of this recording. Boston, I think they're going to get
Speaker 1: first place. They are fifteen games in front of no
Speaker 1: WA just.
Speaker 3: Because math dictates that that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: It's looking good for the Celtics to have home court
Speaker 1: at least through the Eastern Conference finals. Know, the Celtics
Speaker 1: have clinched. I think everything. They're clinched the one seed
Speaker 1: for this season and next season. Somehow they're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we might as well just give it to you guys.
Speaker 3: Can we put like ten of the games towards next season?
Speaker 2: Is how that works.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Bucks are having trouble to the point
Speaker 1: that they are only one game up on Orlando. Orlando
Speaker 1: might end up in the two seed the way things
Speaker 1: are looking there.
Speaker 2: There are some.
Speaker 1: Wild stats about just like what what's going on with
Speaker 1: the Bucks? Mainly obviously the theory that we all have
Speaker 1: on our end is that it's their travel team, the
Speaker 1: team behind their travel the equipment manager and the bus
Speaker 1: driver lacked professionalism. But they've lost four straight only hold
Speaker 1: a single game lead in the lost column over the
Speaker 1: Magic and Knicks at the time of this recording. On
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, the hottest teams in
Speaker 1: the league would have to be the MAVs. I think
Speaker 1: probably the game of the week maybe the past couple
Speaker 1: weeks was there comeback win that eliminated the Rockets from
Speaker 1: playoff contention where Kyrie and Luca combined for eighty five points,
Speaker 1: came back from twenty two down, and again I mean,
Speaker 1: we always talked about Kyrie and Luca have that jenase
Speaker 1: Qua shot making ability where they're just making, you know,
Speaker 1: things that look impossible. Kyrie obviously also has maybe the
Speaker 1: best handle in the history.
Speaker 2: Of the league.
Speaker 1: And it was just took things to Dylan Brooks that
Speaker 1: made me, made me very happy.
Speaker 4: It felt like Choreo Draft. When he had the ball
Speaker 4: at the top of the Keno was like, hey, clear out, bro,
Speaker 4: just just like Kyrie, twist this dude up like a dreadlock,
Speaker 4: like let's go, let's see it all happen, you.
Speaker 1: Know, playing with his food. Yeah, we're playing with his meat,
Speaker 1: as Doc rivers, Yes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen so many like tweets and like headlines
Speaker 4: are like are the MAVs like the sleeper, like the
Speaker 4: deadliest sleeper In these postseason I'm like, I think most
Speaker 4: people are aware of how good they have looked, and
Speaker 4: the West is just so wid Like the.
Speaker 2: West is so too stacked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when we talk like that's the thing with
Speaker 1: the Lakers, like any other season, I'd be like, man,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are like, coming on, Lebron is playing well,
Speaker 1: They're eight and two over the last ten. Lebron looks
Speaker 1: like he might be able to take it up a gear,
Speaker 1: but like, who's he gonna pass?
Speaker 2: Who are they gonna be? Like, who are they going
Speaker 2: to beat in the playoffs? Denver?
Speaker 1: Like Minnesota? I don't think so, I mean Minnesota, they
Speaker 1: might have a champ he wins, Yeah, right, yeah, the
Speaker 1: six he's gonna have fifty wins exactly. The MAVs look
Speaker 1: really tough and uh yeah, I would be surprised if
Speaker 1: they didn't make some noise in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: But of course they're.
Speaker 1: Going against the Clippers, who are also starting to round
Speaker 1: back into shape. I feel like they've got one three
Speaker 1: in a row at the time of this recording. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, only the weird thing and the people
Speaker 1: people are going to be like, nah, you're imagining things.
Speaker 2: James Harden is looking.
Speaker 1: Like not that good at the wrong time of the season,
Speaker 1: you know, like he's heading into the playoffs, and that's that's.
Speaker 2: Not That's not the James I know as the six
Speaker 2: That's not James.
Speaker 6: That I know, Big game James.
Speaker 1: James hard hard talking about Jimmy Ham another hot team,
Speaker 1: speaking of which, the seventy six Ers have won five
Speaker 1: in a row since embiid came back and you know,
Speaker 1: he's embiid has been used sparingly. Is just like kind
Speaker 1: of playing himself back into shape, not in the sense
Speaker 1: that like he let himself go when he was injured,
Speaker 1: but in the sense of he has one of the
Speaker 1: biggest human bodies in the history of the species of
Speaker 1: and like he's just like just like big boned and
Speaker 1: also seven foot two. Like he just when he accidentally
Speaker 1: like hit someone with his hand, like I feel like
Speaker 1: there's probably a time when he you know how, like
Speaker 1: I'm a clumsy person. I'll accidentally like knock a cup
Speaker 1: off a table where he's like done that to a
Speaker 1: wall and his hand has just like gone through a wall.
Speaker 1: Like he's just so big and he's strong, but like
Speaker 1: he needs to like build his strength and stamina back
Speaker 1: up to move his body around.
Speaker 2: That whole body, Yeah, that.
Speaker 5: Whole I don't know why his ligaments aren't constantly tearing
Speaker 5: the normally.
Speaker 2: Are I think that's the question.
Speaker 6: And everybody has changed direction with that body going that far.
Speaker 1: Speed at the peak of his like when he came
Speaker 1: into the league, like into you know, I had a
Speaker 1: couple of seasons of good health. Everyone's like, well it's
Speaker 1: only a matter of time until like obviously this this
Speaker 1: will be the first time that he has been going
Speaker 1: into the playoffs like as well rested as he is,
Speaker 1: So there's always a chance that this is a really
Speaker 1: good experiment for the Sixers.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe this is just what we do.
Speaker 1: We shut them down for the middle the you know,
Speaker 1: everything except the last ten games of the season, and
Speaker 1: just quatch them get into shape.
Speaker 5: I would guess they're not really that afraid to play
Speaker 5: the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round either.
Speaker 1: That would be that would be something I would be
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of the Milwaukee Bucks just because I think
Speaker 1: Yiannis is extremely motivated to get out of the first round,
Speaker 1: I would say, but I don't know that. So obviously,
Speaker 1: Mavericks Rockets was one of the games of the week
Speaker 1: six or Spurs. I don't think anybody was necessarily check
Speaker 1: him for that one at first, but it was a
Speaker 1: double ot victory, and Bid didn't play Max he did
Speaker 1: and dropped fifty two yeah, seven assists, five rebounds, and
Speaker 1: then of course Wemby, which Wemby season is coming to
Speaker 1: an end. He put up thirty three eighteen seven blocks,
Speaker 1: six assists.
Speaker 2: I don't I.
Speaker 1: Don't know what to say that he had like that
Speaker 1: scoop dunk where he just went by somebody and was
Speaker 1: like scoop it, holding the ball like down by his
Speaker 1: knee and then just scooped it up and dunked it
Speaker 1: real quick. It like in a way that the ball
Speaker 1: is moving to It's just so strange. He's so do me,
Speaker 1: so surreal to well.
Speaker 4: It looks like he's binding up to bull it left handed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's like bringing it back and he's like, you know what,
Speaker 4: just dunk it there you go?
Speaker 2: Yeah bye. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I continue to think he should get a very serious
Speaker 1: look at Defensive Player of the Year, even though the
Speaker 1: Spurs are bad defensively as a team. Sure they are
Speaker 1: way better with him on the court than they are
Speaker 1: without him.
Speaker 2: Right, And also.
Speaker 4: The stats to the this blocking stat among players who
Speaker 4: have contested three hundred shots or more, Wemby blocks around
Speaker 4: forty percent of all contested shots. The next best is
Speaker 4: Gafford and Walker Kessler at twenty three percent.
Speaker 1: Yes, everybody knows that who is going against him, so
Speaker 1: he is just responsible for the most Like I don't know,
Speaker 1: uh Looper blocks, I guess like just blocks that like
Speaker 1: don't happen, like just don't exist because he's gone in
Speaker 1: like into the past and like ye put put the
Speaker 1: fear of God in the shooter so that they're just like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shoot what are you kidding? Forty of
Speaker 1: the shots he contests, it's like that. That was the
Speaker 1: thing that like I was saying, I thought he was
Speaker 1: a defensive Player of the Year candidate back in the summer.
Speaker 1: It was because during the summer league, when he would
Speaker 1: be anywhere, like on one side of the court, all
Speaker 1: the shots were either like wild misses or people weren't taken.
Speaker 3: Now they're just like or getting hack they were passing
Speaker 3: the ball to them. They're like, hey man, no.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's uh, I think he should get a better look.
Speaker 2: I think go Beart is gonna win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think people are like, yeah, he's gonna win,
Speaker 1: and because somebody deserves to win before Wemby wins the
Speaker 1: next dozen in a row.
Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Imagine how good that press conference would be if Frey
Speaker 5: Gobert comes in second though, like Hank Minnesota's playoff chances honestly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, those those French tiers would be God.
Speaker 3: I mean, I imagine like and losing to another Frenchman,
Speaker 3: Like I feel like what that would be.
Speaker 1: Like, I feel like he's always been cool to though, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it has always been cool, but I know, but obviously.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got age that, Yeah he's not really Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's like a little brother even though he's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even though yeah, when they stand side by side,
Speaker 4: he's like, it is you who is the little brother.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's been there's been some fun reporting on
Speaker 1: Wemby and like how the season has gone and just
Speaker 1: how good his work ethic is and his competitive instinct
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And the Spurs have gone four
Speaker 1: and three over the last seven, including wins over the Pelicans, Sons,
Speaker 1: Nick and Warriors. He seems to be getting better and
Speaker 1: better as the season goes along, which is wild and
Speaker 1: I'm very, very excited to see next season. We were
Speaker 1: all so excited to watch him this season, so for
Speaker 1: him to have like exceeded expectations is wild.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. But I think he totally.
Speaker 1: Has exceeded expectations in the sense that some of the
Speaker 1: things that he does are not things I could have
Speaker 1: imagined happening on a basketball court, like until I saw
Speaker 1: them or not, like a dunk doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: Right, or like an animated comedy about basketball, right, you
Speaker 4: know that's the Monstar dunk.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Remember his first Summer League game too, he kind of
Speaker 5: looked a little awkward, and I think people just had
Speaker 5: this idea because of what his body looks like, that
Speaker 5: he's gonna be kind of awkward, He's gonna look.
Speaker 6: Kind of gangly.
Speaker 5: I think he was just sort of tired from you know,
Speaker 5: playing in the French finals like two weeks before Summer
Speaker 5: League again, right, and now it's like, oh, he was
Speaker 5: just he was just like just warming up.
Speaker 6: Now he's very smooth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he doesn't look he doesn't look like he just
Speaker 5: doesn't look like an all brittle or that he's gonna
Speaker 5: get pushed around at all.
Speaker 1: No, he looks very bendy and flexible and like you know, like,
Speaker 1: uh my dad was you know, old head saying that
Speaker 1: he really the way he moves reminds him of Kareem
Speaker 1: Abdul Jabbar, like he's like Bendi. The way he runs
Speaker 1: is like Kareem and Kareem. Like that was the thing
Speaker 1: that everybody talked about like was how Kareem was just like.
Speaker 2: You know, super flexible.
Speaker 1: Was the first person that I had ever heard of
Speaker 1: doing yoga right, and like Wemby seems to have that
Speaker 1: Like so I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, he said much he's physically trying to model
Speaker 4: himself after Kareem for that kind of longevity because he knows,
Speaker 4: you know what, what can happen when you're that.
Speaker 6: I think it's most a nutritionist or something too.
Speaker 5: He's been, basically since he was eight years old, been
Speaker 5: trying to eat future NBA player diet basically right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Man, if I found out what that was at
Speaker 4: eight years old, I would bag my parents to be
Speaker 4: like I need that.
Speaker 3: I need the NBA meal, mom, please please.
Speaker 1: And then I would have eaten it for three days
Speaker 1: and been like I don't want to do that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like no yard clippings.
Speaker 4: You're right, mom. My arms may be long, but my
Speaker 4: legs are way too short.
Speaker 3: You're right, You're right. I'm not made for it. I
Speaker 3: thought the wingspan thing would make up for it. It won't.
Speaker 5: Back in my pa days, I met somebody who had
Speaker 5: worked crew for a thunderstroke, the Kevin drin Rand movie
Speaker 5: where he and an eleven year old boy in Oklahoma
Speaker 5: City trade basketball power seat and apparently Katie's agent just
Speaker 5: had this like list of dietary things that he had
Speaker 5: to eat on the set and craft services with like, well,
Speaker 5: so everybody's eating this, like I'm not making And apparently
Speaker 5: the whole crew was like in the best shape of
Speaker 5: their lives after that shoot because they were only it
Speaker 5: was all just like normally sprout services like candy and
Speaker 5: soda and there it was like green juice.
Speaker 4: Right right, yeah, cold crested pineapple juice. I get it,
Speaker 4: pineapple juice.
Speaker 2: He kidding me?
Speaker 1: With the sugar content of that, oh yeah, just with
Speaker 1: the sugar removed somehow.
Speaker 4: Somehow ye distilled out it's distilled pineapple juice.
Speaker 3: We've left the sugar behind.
Speaker 2: It was just yeah for real.
Speaker 4: Also, it's just funny. Malachi Flynn of the the Detroit
Speaker 4: Pistons scored fifty points off the bench, okay, and I.
Speaker 2: Like, are you surprised?
Speaker 3: A yes, completely, completely weird because.
Speaker 2: Weird that you weren't didn't see that one coming.
Speaker 3: I just like the this is this is where I
Speaker 3: want to posit it to the to you both.
Speaker 4: His response right when they said, you drop, you dropped,
Speaker 4: you dropped a half century on him?
Speaker 3: What's going on a fifty piece for real? And he said, well,
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a fluke in any way.
Speaker 4: Now, I get you have to be confident, and I
Speaker 4: respect I respect the confidence. But there's something about him
Speaker 4: saying that that makes it a little bit like, bro,
Speaker 4: you come on just say. I don't know, man, sometimes
Speaker 4: you have a great like. I don't know why I
Speaker 4: would have preferred if he just was a little more
Speaker 4: humble about it, but hey, whatever, you got fifty in
Speaker 4: a loss.
Speaker 2: You don't get into the NBA being humble. But that's true.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess it's it's like it rubs me.
Speaker 4: It's irritating to me when it's like, yeah, man, I
Speaker 4: did that, It's like I know, I know you did.
Speaker 6: I know you did.
Speaker 1: Anybody's been paying attention to Malachi Flynn isn't surprised by
Speaker 1: this outburst.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much exactly.
Speaker 1: Malachai Flynn's No, Malachi Flynn was just waiting, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put your ear to the street.
Speaker 3: The street's been saying.
Speaker 2: My name you of course plural for Malicus. Yes, when.
Speaker 1: Little octopus joke for everybody.
Speaker 5: I think he might be the least acclaimed NBA player
Speaker 5: to ever put up fifty in a game.
Speaker 2: So there was the Tony Delk one.
Speaker 1: But Tony Delk won then NCAA title before he did.
Speaker 1: But that that's one that always pops up where people
Speaker 1: are like, well, I mean, yeah, he scored fifty, but
Speaker 1: so did Tony Delk, but like you know, he was
Speaker 1: coming off the bench. Corey Brewer superroducer Jabari mentioned another
Speaker 1: one who Corey Burr's game was like so often just
Speaker 1: like getting behind the defense and like getting open layups.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he put up fifty one time.
Speaker 5: Brandon Jennings did it to the words and I think
Speaker 5: something like the seventh game of his career and then
Speaker 5: I was ever reached those heights again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he always looked capable of it. Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: He was a bucket, even though like he never really
Speaker 1: put it together again after that. I do want to
Speaker 1: just mention because the man who was when being Yama
Speaker 1: for me before wembing Yama, Zion Williamson, the you know
Speaker 1: Miles up. I'm sure you remember when we started t
Speaker 1: d Z. I would annoy everybody by making them watch
Speaker 1: like Zion blocks from like college and uh, just like
Speaker 1: Zion jumping in a way that didn't.
Speaker 2: Make sense with me.
Speaker 3: I know, he broke his shoe.
Speaker 1: So he's back to like he had five blocks against
Speaker 1: the Suns that each one was just violent and like
Speaker 1: him jumping out of nowhere like a magic trick.
Speaker 2: That was really a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: The you know, the Pelicans are are have the same
Speaker 1: record as the Suns, so they are either seven or
Speaker 1: six seed, depending on how the next few games go. Uh,
Speaker 1: but they they look they're looking good, and he looks awesome.
Speaker 4: Because they're not kind of like the Wemby one, where
Speaker 4: at Wemby's like you will not shoot around my.
Speaker 3: Hand like Zion's swatting them, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Like to your point, that's those like those are kind
Speaker 4: of the fun ones to watch.
Speaker 6: And you're like, oh, because we.
Speaker 1: Used to say yeah, as we used to say swat.
Speaker 3: People when I was playing basketball in human form and
Speaker 3: not with a controller betwixt.
Speaker 2: That out of my gym. Yeah, I would say, this.
Speaker 3: Ball from my immediate area, not in my house.
Speaker 2: I would say to them.
Speaker 5: Just.
Speaker 1: Anybody who attempted a shot, or yeah, who walk into
Speaker 1: my house you.
Speaker 3: Were playing basketball?
Speaker 4: No, no, I would just say randomly at Kroger and stuff.
Speaker 2: Not in my house.
Speaker 3: All right, here, ring me up for a three piece
Speaker 3: tender meal?
Speaker 2: All right? Uh? And Brandon Ingram has been cleared for Uh.
Speaker 3: They're listening him. Yeah, this was always a thing.
Speaker 4: It's like, can they say healthy, because if they do,
Speaker 4: then we might see something interesting.
Speaker 3: And then when Ingy went down, I was like, Bingie, no, please, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they need you. I'm really looking forward to them.
Speaker 4: I really hope they were able to put something together
Speaker 4: because I feel like we've we've been waiting for for
Speaker 4: a nice, a good, a decent Pelican's performance.
Speaker 1: And now those Lakers fan man, you guys got to
Speaker 1: be just hope looking for any candidate to slide by you.
Speaker 4: Hey man, it doesn't matter. We'll handle anybody, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. So like I like to encourage them.
Speaker 4: I like to know that like when we defeat you,
Speaker 4: we've we defeated the best version of you.
Speaker 3: But also, hey man, if you want to boath, sit out,
Speaker 3: that's fine with me too. That's fine with me too, Zion.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Just take easy, don't break your.
Speaker 1: Shoe, take her easy, she's my lady, and that's what
Speaker 1: I maybe that's nope, nope, okay, all right, never mind,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and play the fastest segment in podcast We rabbit.
Speaker 4: And we're back, and we're back and we're back and
Speaker 4: we're bag.
Speaker 3: It's the time of the fourth Coder Rabbit fire Jain. First,
Speaker 3: a little bit of rabbit fire rap fire red.
Speaker 4: A question, Um, Sean Kean, you have entered the fastest
Speaker 4: question answer segment in all sports podcasting history. We're gonna
Speaker 4: ask you a question. You've already done this before. Just
Speaker 4: respond quickly. Don't give extended answers.
Speaker 3: Or we will be very very rude to you.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's just it is what it is, so don't
Speaker 4: be surprised. Crack your knuckles, crack your neck bones, whatever
Speaker 4: you gotta do, because it's time.
Speaker 1: Why, oh my gosh, Brian's not here today. So you
Speaker 1: did have to shout at that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I shout, lou. I don't know if that he
Speaker 3: could hear me.
Speaker 4: In Mexico, I had to, and I don't know if
Speaker 4: he did, but my neighbors certainly did because they just
Speaker 4: nexted me and said, knock it off.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call the okay whatever, they don't they're haters anyway,
Speaker 3: rapid fire around. That's where we started. See you're getting
Speaker 3: me off the game, Sean. Here we go, Jack, you
Speaker 3: want to go first?
Speaker 6: Should I go first? How do you want to do?
Speaker 1: I would love to go first, Myles. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for asking. Hey, Sean, Sean.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, I'm trying. That was a little aggressive. All right.
Speaker 1: So last five NBA Finals by regular season record, so
Speaker 1: we're all, I think assuming, Okay, it's gonna be the Nuggets,
Speaker 1: it's going to be the Celtics. Last five NBA finals
Speaker 1: by regular season record last year was the two seed
Speaker 1: Nuggets verst the seven seed Heat year before, three seed
Speaker 1: Warriors versus two seed Celtics, Bucks, three seed Suns, two
Speaker 1: seed before that, Lakers, one seed, five heat Heat five seed.
Speaker 1: It hasn't been as predictable as everybody expected heading into
Speaker 1: the to the playoffs. Give me your dark horse, who
Speaker 1: is coming out of either the East or West from
Speaker 1: below the two seed? Let's say, so, it's got to
Speaker 1: be three or.
Speaker 5: Lower, three or lower, Okay, So if it's three or
Speaker 5: lower in the West, I feel crazy saying this, but
Speaker 5: I think the Clippers, I think if those guys actually
Speaker 5: don't get hurt, they're they're a tough seven game series out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just I just think, yeah, I mean, obviously.
Speaker 5: One of those guys could really get hurt. Sure, And
Speaker 5: then in the in the East, I'm going with I
Speaker 5: just don't I think the Knicks are a little too
Speaker 5: hurt or I would love to choose them in the city.
Speaker 6: I'm going to the Philadelphia seventy six the juice.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite things is that Kelly break is
Speaker 5: in this situation where they need him to be a
Speaker 5: gunner and he is.
Speaker 2: He's a three point show.
Speaker 6: He's shaking off the shooter. Shooter yeah, shoot shoot. Uh.
Speaker 5: He had that game that last game when when Maxie
Speaker 5: had fifty two shot the ball twenty two times, and
Speaker 5: it's like he could have he could have been shooting more.
Speaker 5: He's like, it just feels like he's never been this
Speaker 5: comfortable since he was like the sixth man for the
Speaker 5: Wizards back in the day. Like it seems like Philadelphia
Speaker 5: loves him. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sean, You're really deserves you pick.
Speaker 4: You picked Jack sixers in the East, and then you
Speaker 4: pick the Clippers in the West.
Speaker 3: Huh wow, Really.
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis is gonna be able to see the basket.
Speaker 6: By the time. He's not gonna wear those goggles.
Speaker 3: Sean has ordained it. You know what's gonna happen. I
Speaker 3: hate this, Sean.
Speaker 4: Next question, what's more likely to happen to? Why a
Speaker 4: Heat finals run or a Warriors Finals run?
Speaker 5: Boy, it's a Heat finals run because the West is
Speaker 5: really good.
Speaker 6: And the East has has its strengths and weaknesses.
Speaker 5: I think say that he the Eastern covers has a
Speaker 5: lot of teams with wonderful personalities. Yeah, We're like, he's
Speaker 5: really original, it's a really a nice guy.
Speaker 6: And you're like, oh, it's not really that fun. He
Speaker 6: doesn't really do that well, right, Yeah, that's how.
Speaker 5: I feel about the Indiana Pacers, like really fun to
Speaker 5: watch and like a delightful team. Not really the kind
Speaker 5: of team that has ever tended to have success in
Speaker 5: the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 1: Sean, you can go back in time and pick any
Speaker 1: of the following games to personally witness.
Speaker 2: It's Game eighty two and twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Where the Dubs set the all time regular season record,
Speaker 1: Game three of the seven semis, where the Warriors defeat
Speaker 1: the Jazz Baron's dunk on care Lenco for Young Steps
Speaker 1: fifty four in the Garden.
Speaker 6: I think I'm going to that Utah Jass game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Garden would be cool, but you know I
Speaker 5: kind of missed the words old Arena too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And also just the total weirdness of seeing that moment
Speaker 5: getting excited and they replay it like eight times, and
Speaker 5: then after like the sixth replay, You're like, is Baron
Speaker 5: wearing a girdle?
Speaker 6: Like what is around it?
Speaker 5: When he lifts up his jersey, he has some elaborate
Speaker 5: orthopedic thing that he's wearing underneath there. And I think
Speaker 5: that the combination of like awe and excitement, and then
Speaker 5: you know he wants the NBA to have a little
Speaker 5: mystery like that.
Speaker 6: You know, is he wearing spanks?
Speaker 2: You know he invented them.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean he was a great business man obviously.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: He actually spoke to like a class I was taking
Speaker 4: at once in college because he knew the professor from
Speaker 4: like when he was going to Crossroads High School, like
Speaker 4: giving us like weird business like we're all broke students.
Speaker 3: We're like, okay, dude, what I'm going to do with this.
Speaker 6: It's very strange. So the Paron Davis went to Cross
Speaker 6: so it's real.
Speaker 2: Not in Los Ampius.
Speaker 5: That is like a performing arts high school where I
Speaker 5: believe the final UH exam every year was you would
Speaker 5: show run like a month of Veronica's closet that side
Speaker 5: you had to graduate.
Speaker 6: So yeah, a lot of a lot of show people
Speaker 6: come out. Has produced some movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean like like Maya Rudolph went there,
Speaker 4: you know as the Jabari put in the chat Kate Hudson.
Speaker 4: This is like we're all Jonah Hill basically all of
Speaker 4: Hollywood's children.
Speaker 2: Jonah Hill was discovered there.
Speaker 1: Basically Jonah Hill was like the funniest kid in some
Speaker 1: Eroducers Sons class and they were like.
Speaker 3: Was his classmates. It was like, dude, you got to
Speaker 3: put him in I hard hook a bees.
Speaker 4: He's like, okay, fine. There's the other thing I gotta
Speaker 4: ask you. You're in the Bay area, Yeay area, San Francisco,
Speaker 4: Oakland area, Please tell somebody they're in there.
Speaker 3: They're in your area, the Yay area for one weekend.
Speaker 3: What are three spots they need to hit?
Speaker 5: Be at restaurant and bar or attraction Oh, that's a
Speaker 5: really good question.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: So I would say that if you like hiking, you
Speaker 5: want to hit Redwood Regional Park in Oakland.
Speaker 6: It's beautiful, it's great. Hit that. I really like the restaurant.
Speaker 6: F'm a superstar at the edge of the Richmond district.
Speaker 6: I like that you want to go to.
Speaker 5: I really like this Belus Flower and Water that opened
Speaker 5: up by my old apartment in San Francisco. And when
Speaker 5: it opened and was successful, I realized that I was
Speaker 5: gonna get evicted soon. My rent was going to go
Speaker 5: up because the restaurant was far too good to be
Speaker 5: like a block.
Speaker 6: From my apartment. And then you gotta go.
Speaker 5: If you're there on a weekend, you gotta really just
Speaker 5: uh I mean, first, first of all, wear a sweatshirt
Speaker 5: because otherwise you're gonna end up wearing like a tourist
Speaker 5: sweatshirt with the golden gate bridge and huffy paint. Because
Speaker 5: that's what happens in July and San Francisco when the are.
Speaker 2: So cold in the summer.
Speaker 6: Go to guy.
Speaker 5: That geist is a great outdoor beer garden, great Bloody
Speaker 5: Mary's and uh what good mixed drinks. Just a great
Speaker 5: little situation.
Speaker 3: Just put that on my list sponsored by our show
Speaker 3: you just heard listen to the Daily Gust. Thank you, Sean.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And finally, uh, Universal Studios has reached out to you,
Speaker 1: uh and they've asked for your help. You have to
Speaker 1: cast an upcoming buddy cop film.
Speaker 2: Uh. The catch is that it has to be cast
Speaker 2: with two NBA.
Speaker 1: Teammates uh, current or past Uh to be the lead
Speaker 1: buddy cop duo. Who are you going with as the
Speaker 1: lead buddy cop duo in your action comedy?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 5: I really feel like Tobias Sarah showed some acting chops
Speaker 5: and hustle, but I think seeing him in a movie
Speaker 5: would just kind of bum me out too much just
Speaker 5: to and.
Speaker 6: So I have I have two possibilities.
Speaker 5: One is Tyler Hero and Jimmy Butler just a classic
Speaker 5: lethal weapon rush Hour like cross racial. One guy's cool,
Speaker 5: one guy's kind of a dork. And then I would
Speaker 5: also I think there would be something incredible about a
Speaker 5: Russell West for Kawhi Leonard pairing where just one character
Speaker 5: in this buddy cop film does not speak.
Speaker 3: And only one yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. It just does
Speaker 3: the laugh. You're like, oh, you're you're in trouble, bro,
Speaker 3: You're in trouble h oh man.
