1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: Glad you're home from boys night. Did you ask how

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: your friends were doing? No? Did you ask them about

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: their work?

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: No?

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Do you even know what their job is? No? Certainly

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: you talk about their relationships?

7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 3: Nope?

8
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: How about their family?

9
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 4: No?

10
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: Any of their hobbies, goals or aspirations?

11
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 4: No.

12
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: So did you have a bad time?

13
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 4: No?

14
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: What exactly did you do? We just took turns naming

15
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: NBA role players from the two thousands.

Speaker 4: reviews actually, which is both hilarious and a little awkward.

44
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: But keep doing it, okay, tasking. We got is This

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: news later on some headlines, But we had some NBA

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: games on last night or some It wasn't the most

47
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: thrilling night in the NBA.

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: Now surprising winners actually, yeah.

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. That's true. Let's quickly go through them, though,

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: I guess we'll start with the Sixers. Just crushing the

51
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Lakers Lebron's worst defeat in his NBA career, seventy six

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 4: Ers win by forty four points. You want to talk

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: about Lebron and his milestones and the defeat from the

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 4: Lakers or the Sixers and how great they looked, first.

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: It's more fun to talk about the team that got

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: smashed but quickly on the Sixers. The reason why they

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: got this smash was because head coach Nick Nurse made

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: a smart move only four minutes into the game. Excuse me,

59
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: when the Lakers had started very well, they're up on

60
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: the Sixers, but be four minutes in, Joel Embiid gets

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: his second foul. Nick Nurse doesn't pull him from the game.

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: He lets him go into Anthony Davis's chest over and

63
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: over and over again. He allows him to play and

64
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: they go on their run, a twenty two, twenty two

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: to two run in that first quarter, which was key,

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: which was big because the Lakers were up after four minutes.

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: It looked good. And maybe Darwin Ham should have called

68
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: a timeout during that twenty two run in the first quarter,

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: I know, or maybe they should have defensive players. I

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: think that's the key here, is that Cam Raddish has

71
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 3: gotten hurt, big part of that defensive rotation to get

72
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: out to that three point line where the Sixers absolutely

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: smashed the Lakers. They took a lot of threes. Half

74
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: their shots were threes, and everybody was hot. Patrick Beverly

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: was fifty percent from three, hitting four threes. Everybody was hot.

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: I think they're just missing so many guys on that

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: perimeter defense. Camradish number one, he's injured. Hopefully we'll be

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: back soon. I think a big guy, a big important

79
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: guy is Gabe Vincent, who was gonna take minutes from

80
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: Dangel Russell when he gets healthy. And also Jared Vanderbilt

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: just hasn't played this season. So they've got three guys

82
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: who are really important to play alongside Lebron James and

83
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: all those things that we'll talk about and what he's achieved,

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: but him and Anthony Davis desperately need guys to help out.

85
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis needs a guy to help out. Joel Embiid's

86
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: shoulder going into his chest over and over and over again,

87
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: which hurt. But I think that's the key. Really, it

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: was just the Lakers not playing defense, allowing threes in

89
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 3: those threes rating down.

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, good call though on Nick Nurse allowing Embiid to

91
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: keep playing that first quarter with the two fouls. You

92
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: wonder if Doc Rivers would have done that. Mcgutt says no.

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: But Embiid comes three with thirty points, eleven boards, and

94
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: eleven assists for his sixth career triple double. And he

95
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: did it all in three quarters because he didn't have

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: to play in the fourth as they were hammering the

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: Lakers Tyres Maxie. He scored thirty one points, two game

98
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 4: high statitudes. They noted that it's the tenth time Embiid

99
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: and Maxie have each scored at least twenty five points

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: in the same game this season. Only Elgin Baylor and

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: Jerry West did it more as a duo twenty five

102
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: plus in the same game over the first seventeen games

103
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: of a season. They did it twe back in the sixties,

104
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: those Hall of famers. But that just illustrates hell dominant.

105
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 4: You know, these two have been as a one to

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: two punch in just racking up these twenty five usually

107
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 4: thirty point games.

108
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: Each, Yeah, for sure, and a lot of it is

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: just threes counting coming down from Maxi and those listen

110
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: the Lakers don't hit a lot of threes, but in

111
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: the games where teams have made more threes than them,

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: there were six and eight. It's not horrendous. They're still

113
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: an above five hundred team, but they do need some

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 3: help on that side of things. They do need some

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: more threes. They do hit the fewest threes in the game,

116
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: and they take close to the fewest threes in the game,

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: very very very close to thirtieth in the NBA. So

118
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: I think that's where it's it's starting. But you know,

119
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: they they do hit a decent percentage from threes. They

120
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: just need to take a few more. And that's pretty

121
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: evident in this game. Although on Wednesday, when they get

122
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: the Detroit Pistons, who've lost fourteen in a row, I

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: think they will return to the effort level that darvinham

124
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: is demanding of them. Yeah, and so I assume the

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: Pistons will have lost fifteen in a row.

126
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe seventy six ers hit twenty two three pointers

127
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 4: last night. Like you said, Lakers seven, that is a

128
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 4: huge discrepancy. It's always gonna be tough to overcome. Yeah.

129
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 4: Lebron's milestones though, so while suffering the most lopsided loss

130
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: of his career. He surpasses Kareem Abdul Jabbar for the

131
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: most minutes played in NBA history. You know, we're talking

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 4: sixty six thousand, three hundred plus now at this point

133
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: for Lebron. But he also failed to record a rebound

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: in last night's game, and that's only the fourth time

135
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: that's happened. So just some weird things going on there

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: for Lebron. And then after the game, he said a

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: lot needs to change for the Lakers, and maybe he's

138
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: thinking what you're saying here, we need some three and

139
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: D guys out here, or these guys back at least

140
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: because they do not have a lot of quality wins.

141
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 4: I jumped on playback last night and this came up

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: in a discussion there with everybody in the live chat, Like,

143
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: you go, look at the teams the Lakers have actually

144
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: won against this year. There's not a lot of like, oh,

145
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: that's a damn good team, Like they beat the Suns twice,

146
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: and then you're sort of searching or struggling to find

147
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 4: another really good quality win still, like you said, five

148
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: hundred ish, but that's not good for them right now.

149
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: This is a team that went to the conference finals. Obviously.

150
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say Lebron not getting a rebound, that's not.

151
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: Good, that's weird. That is that's strange.

152
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 3: And he had a minus thirty overall in this game.

153
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's a mark in his career. I

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: guess not, probably not minus thirty. Is you beat Lebron

155
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: by thirty points while he was on the floor, And

156
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: I just as just to you know, zoom out here.

157
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: The Lakers were a conference finals last year that got

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: swept by the Denver Nuggets. We all thought coming into

159
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: this season, Okay, you know they've got their guys that

160
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: they've tried to get a three point percentage guys, defensive guys,

161
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: I should say they should be all right, and I

162
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: think they are in a decent spot. They'll probably be

163
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: looking for a trade to improve their team. But coming

164
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: in they're eleventh in opponent three point percentage. They do

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: play pretty well defensively, but they're missing so many guys

166
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: and ruy Echimur is being missed in their lineup. They're

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: just missing so many rotation guys. So I think that's

168
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: the biggest part of why they just looked horrendous, combined

169
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: with their effort level in this one.

170
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: Well, look, they play like you said, the Pistons here soon.

171
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: If they lose that one, then there's a real issue. Yeah,

172
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: but you know, in theory they will bounce back versus

173
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 4: Detroit who picked up another loss.

174
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's still way about four hundred. Again, they're

175
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: still at ten and eight. They're still in a similar

176
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: spot to where they were going into last year's postseason.

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: They wound up freaking play in. Yeah, that's good point

178
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 3: playing option there. So they're in a similar similar spot.

179
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: But I do see them looking at that calendar December seventeenth.

180
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: We can trade Dan Angela Russell. Sure, they're just looking

181
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: to try and improve a little bit. And Cam Reddish

182
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 3: has been mantros for this team. He just needs to

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: get back in the line.

184
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 4: Let's talk about the other LA team. Last night, they

185
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 4: also held the l because it was former Clippers Reggie

186
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: Jackson and DeAndre Jordan carrying the Nuggets past the Clips

187
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: one thirteen, one oh four. Reggie Jackson thirty five points,

188
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: thirteen assists, DeAndre Jordan twenty one points and thirteen boards,

189
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: and the Nuggets did this. They got the victory without Jokic,

190
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: who sat in a back to back situation. They said

191
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: he had lower back pain. Of course, no Jamal Murray

192
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: who's still out with the right hamstring strain, and no

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 4: Aaron Gordon who has a right heel strain. That's like,

194
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 4: that's close to sixty points taken out of their line

195
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: up there. It didn't matter because the former clips there

196
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: in mister Jackson and DeAndre the Giant there come through.

197
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: This is an insane loss here for the Clips, and

198
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: they were up. They were up like eleven and going

199
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: in the fourth I think.

200
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of weird things you're talking about,

201
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets missing their top three guys. Those are

202
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: the top three guys, and somehow, somehow they lost this

203
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: game in the fourth quarter. Where as you said, going

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: into that fourth quarter, they still have a double digitally, Yeah,

205
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: things are looking all right. First possession, Terrence Man goes

206
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: under the screen. Daniel Tye the size. I'm not guarding

207
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: that guy at the three point line of Reggie Jackson

208
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: banks on the three. Tylu is going bananas on the sideline.

209
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: Just guard that guy, you try. I think he was

210
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: trying to throw a little bit of a fit to

211
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: try and just show guys if you throw a hand

212
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: in these guys face, they're not going to shoot that.

213
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: Well.

214
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson effort, Yeah, just a little effort, and it

215
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: didn't happen for Reggie Jackson. That's why he was so hot.

216
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: I would say, just throw out the entire game. There

217
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: just weren't a lot of hands in his face. Now,

218
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: they put Terrence Mann into that starting lineup and put

219
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook on the bench for that reason to help

220
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: out defensively, but it did not happen in this game,

221
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: and in that fourth quarter, especially where again double digit

222
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: lead it It's really hard to imagine how the Clippers

223
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: fell apart, but they just couldn't hitch. Paul George just

224
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: kind of short armed a layand just kind of t

225
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: wrecks that arm and it hit the front of the rim.

226
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: Kawi missed the layup. Harden turned it over from his

227
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: butt he was sitting on the floor and kind of

228
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: turned it over. They went to the hack of DeAndre

229
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: Jordan technique that scheme later, Yeah, they were and they

230
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: got him off the floor, but then Westbrook missed free throws.

231
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 3: A whole lot of things. Shout out to Julian Strother,

232
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: Peyton Watson and obviously Reggie Jackson, but the defense on

233
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: Rady Jackson from Norman Powell just giving him way too

234
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: much room James Harden when it wasn't Terrence Man. They

235
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: were giving Reggie Jackson too much if he's hitting that

236
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: many shots. He was just so confident in this game. Yeah, Yeah,

237
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: he looked like a playoff guy, the guy that they

238
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: hoped would just sub in for Bruce Bowen basically be

239
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: that guy to help out on their bench, and obviously

240
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: he could be.

241
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 4: Jackson and Jordan ran like incredible pick and roll action

242
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: in this game, like to perfection. I counted five valley

243
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: oops between the two where Jackson was just lobbing it

244
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: up at the rim and DeAndre Jordan was going to

245
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: gett He had a nice reverse on one of them.

246
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 4: He even said, Reggie after the game, looking a little

247
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: young lob City out there, yeah, which it was reminiscent of.

248
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: And so those two they had twenty points in the

249
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, and yeah, come back and beat the clubs

250
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 4: who had four field goals in the fourth. You know,

251
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: you had Westbrook air bawling free throws, you had the

252
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: hard and turnovers, like you said, Paul George he had

253
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 4: an airball late, he had a bad game. Kawhi had

254
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: sort of Kawhi had a decent box score you look

255
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: at it, but never felt like he took control of

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 4: this one. It felt like that all season along with Kawhi.

257
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: If I'm being honest, He's played in every game, every

258
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: game this season. Yeah, both him and Paul George haven't

259
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: missed a game, which.

260
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: Is maybe they should go back to resting a little bit.

261
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, I don't know, And maybe Bomber's got to

262
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: look at this team and say, hey, we're moving into

263
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: a new arena. We want a superstar on the floor

264
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: one two, three, four like we have that we're questioning.

265
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: But the crowd wasn't It wasn't a sellout in there,

266
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 3: and so that that is the larger question for the Clippers.

267
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 3: What the heck do we do? Do we maybe reboot

268
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: because even though we're trying to go for it, it's

269
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: still not a sellout sometimes, So what are we What

270
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: is this team going into the into it Dome with

271
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: so many toilets out there. I mean, people will be

272
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: spending their time in the toilets because they really it's

273
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: hard to watch this team at times when they're not

274
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: giving enough effort defensively. And yeah, and like you said,

275
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if it's just getting older

276
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 3: playing every game. But Paul George was, you know, a terrible,

277
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: a terrible performance by him, although he's such a good player.

278
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: And Kawhi Leonard not carrying this team, they're still trying

279
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: to find each other with this new James Harden route.

280
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: Westbrook made some headlines last night too. He once again

281
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: got into a pretty heated exchange with a fan about

282
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: thirty seconds to go. And you know, so the Nuggets

283
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: up big, they're winning this game. It's over Clippers inbound.

284
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: The Westbrook is standing at mid court and he is

285
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: talking back to a fan or two there who is

286
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: sitting behind sort of the court side seats. At one point,

287
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 4: referee Lauren Holt Camp. She gets in front of Russ

288
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 4: sort of make sure nothing happens. But then after the

289
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: buzzer sounds, Westbrook returns to the Hecklers. And then you've

290
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: got the refs in there, you got Justin Holidays in there,

291
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 4: You've got Arena's security, You've got the Clippers security. You've

292
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: got Daniel Tice, I think is in the mix, like

293
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: basically everyone trying to like keep Russ cool or make

294
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: sure like this doesn't boil over into anything more than that.

295
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 4: But Westbrook asked about it after the game, and he

296
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: just reiterated once again that he's not going to stand

297
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: by and listen to these fans verbally attack him and

298
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: his family. Seems to always come back to his family.

299
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: That's like, that's where you cross the line to Westbrook,

300
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: and that's when he'll you know, start giving it back,

301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: I guess to these people, because this is what is

302
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: this like the fourth or fifth time, you know, in

303
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: the last let's say four years where this has happened

304
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: with Russell Westbrook.

305
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: Right, But after watching the clips and how it happened

306
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: and not knowing exactly what the fans said, of course,

307
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: of course, I just thought that that fan was just

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: asking for him to try harder, really because Rustin go

309
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: and stand there for a long time, and fans weren't

310
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: that mad at that particular fan standing around him, although

311
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: at some point they pointed to the referees into security,

312
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: Hey it was this guy who was talking. But you know,

313
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: this is me just making it up and just wondering

314
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: what was said. I don't really think anything was said

315
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: that needed to be addressed in that way that needed

316
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: to get that fan out of the arena, like other

317
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: fans who have before who need to be banned from

318
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: that particular Citi's arena for an entire season or for

319
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: a heck of a lot longer if you're if you're

320
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: questioning someone's family. But I don't think there really was

321
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: much other than Westbrook being frustrated with the Los Angeles Clippers.

322
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: I think that's what was more to be made of.

323
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: Although you know, he stood there and he during possessions,

324
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: even during this was during possessions, going up and down

325
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: the floor, Westbrook decided not to play, just to look

326
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: at that fan and say something. But I think the

327
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: fan really just was more like, hey, we want to

328
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: win games. Do something we don't know.

329
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there has been no other reports like what

330
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: exactly he said. But again it's just Russ always going

331
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: back to this idea like he crossed, you cross the

332
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 4: line when you start disrespecting my name. It's all about

333
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: the Westbrook name and his family and that. But yeah,

334
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: I mean in twenty nineteen, a fan in Utah earned

335
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 4: that lifetime ban for the verbal altercation with Russ now

336
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: there was a little more sort of evidence with what

337
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 4: was being said and definitely crossing lines. In twenty one

338
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: when he was with the Wizards, Russ there was popcorn

339
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: dumped on him in Philadelphia. I think that was That

340
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 4: was a playoff game last season, Clippers Sons in Phoenix.

341
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 4: Verbal confrontation with a Suns fan. This is the weird

342
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: part of all of this. This was in La this

343
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: is at home, this is in front of Clippers fans.

344
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: And so, yeah, what was what was said that really

345
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: pissed Russ off? Or was it just Russ reacting to like,

346
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: oh my god, embarrassing loss. He's air bowling free throws.

347
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: You know, fans are a little upset and all that,

348
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: and it's and it just like triggered him, really got him.

349
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: But man, I mean you can you can get to him,

350
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: is obviously what this this is the problem. On one hand,

351
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: you're like, yeah, man, that's gotta suck, like, tell these

352
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 4: people to shut the fuck up when they cross the

353
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: line to you. But it's also like it's a double

354
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: edged sword because it's like, well, now they know that

355
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna affect you, and it's just gonna make it

356
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: more likely that some other chump's gonna do it, you

357
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Yeah, tough, I don't. I don't

358
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: envy him in that position, but it's almost like Ugh's.

359
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 4: It's more likely to happen again, unfortunately.

360
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: And it shouldn't happen at home than No. No, but

361
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: this fan has not been banned in any way.

362
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 4: No, I don't.

363
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like that. But I'm sure the Clippers,

364
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: Steve Baumert and his new dome plant would ban a

365
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: fan if he, if he or she needed to be banned. Yes,

366
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: And in.

367
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: This I don't believe just because you buy a ticket

368
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 4: you can say whatever you want by any means.

369
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: That's true.

370
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: But do I believe you can say call out your

371
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 4: team a little bit or obviously try and get opponent skin. Yeah, like,

372
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 4: yes you can boo sorry Pop, you can. But you know,

373
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: I guess see, maybe he did cross the line. He

374
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: crossed the line in Russ's mind. That's the that's the

375
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: issue here.

376
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: And it happened exactly after those free throws we mentioned

377
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 3: that he missed. He missed a pair of free throws, which, yeah,

378
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: I'm just guessing that Russ was frustrated by what happened

379
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 3: on the basketball floor, because Russ is a freaking good

380
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: player and was doing a lot offensively for this team

381
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: when he was on that floor, and has moved his

382
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: way to the bench on this team to support his

383
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: team to make them better, like he did last year

384
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: for the Los Angeles Lakers, which helps. It helps that team.

385
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 3: Although they haven't been moving the ball all that well

386
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: with Terrence Man as the starting point guard, they're still

387
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: trying to figure it out and that's unfortunate, and maybe

388
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: they will a little bit more, but this team is

389
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: too small and doesn't have the effort level. So I

390
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: think that's what the fan was saying, just guessing. But

391
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 3: obviously Westbrook he took offense and stopping during play like

392
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: he wasn't running up and down the floor, which was

393
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: really weird, Like it wasn't at an end. It was

394
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 3: at the center, the center line up a few up,

395
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: a few rows where he was trying to get it

396
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: into somebody.

397
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, or get them tossed or whatever he was. But

398
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 4: what the end goal was, I'm not sure from Russ's

399
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: side of things, like yuess to have that person maybe

400
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 4: thrown out, but yeah, it was the end of the game,

401
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 4: and he's a Clippers. You know, look, just because he's

402
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 4: there doesn't mean he's a Clippers fan. I guess in theory.

403
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: A Clippers jersey?

404
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: Did he?

405
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: I think so. I think the reports reports are fan

406
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: has Clippers jersey. Yeah.

407
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: A couple other games last night. The closest game last

408
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: night was rookie Kiante George scoring a season high nineteen

409
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 4: as the Jazz just edged out the Pelicans one fourteen,

410
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 4: one twelve. Not the prettiest ending to this game A

411
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: lot and shots. I mean, the Jazz were up one

412
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: fourteen to one oh seven after that George three big

413
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: three with like two forty to go. But again that

414
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: score was one fourteen, one oh seven, and the final

415
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: score was one fourteen, one to twelve. So the Jazz

416
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: didn't score the rest of the way, but still held

417
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: on because the Pelicans missed I guess all three of

418
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: their field goal attempts in the final minute. You had

419
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 4: Herb Jones missing a three point attempt after he had

420
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 4: just banged one in the corner, and then ten seconds left,

421
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 4: Ingram missed a contested jumper off a pass from Zion.

422
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: I thought Zion maybe could have shot that in the lane,

423
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 4: and then Naji Marshall. Naji Marshall, excuse me he got

424
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 4: he got credited with a missed shot on like a

425
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: offensive rebound tip that was not even close to going in.

426
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: So sort of a weird, weird decision to give him

427
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: the offensive rebound slash shot there. But anyway, weird ending.

428
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: Very weird. Yeah, when a guy his last make for

429
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: a team is yeah, it's almost three minutes left for

430
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: the game. They didn't have to score the rest of

431
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: the game. But shut out to Kante George. This is

432
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: his rook that he sees him. This is his career high.

433
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: As you mentioned there at nineteen. He doesn't usually shoot

434
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: fourteen shots in a game, but he got so pumped

435
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: after that dunk in transition and late in the first half.

436
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: That was a monster.

437
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: That was a monster. Just peel it back and throw

438
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: it down. So shout out to him for that. Only

439
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 3: three assists in this game, although he plays guard for

440
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: this team, so there's lots of confidence for Kante Jorge

441
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: Georgian this one with Jordan Clarkson allowing the team to

442
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: get involved get going. A lot of assists for Jordan

443
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: Clarkson in this one, although he had a poor shooting it.

444
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: But it's really weird just those last few minutes because,

445
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: as you said, the Zion pass out to Brandon Ingram,

446
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: who took a contested shot when he could have stepped

447
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: into a little bit more of an open shot. He

448
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: is a guy who makes shots from there. Guy played

449
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: for Team USA this summer. So weird one there. They

450
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: took a lot fewer threes than their opponent, as they

451
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: always do, and that's a bit of their problem. That

452
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: is what they do, so they're looking for guys who

453
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: shoot threes. They are missing Trey Murphy, the third who's

454
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: been injured all season long, who hopefully will be back

455
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: at some point, and CJ McCollum. Yeah, the partial lung collapse.

456
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: So those two guys and hopefully McCollum will be back

457
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: some point soon. So the threes are just that's a problem.

458
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: You do want to do the math. I don't, but

459
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: the Pelicans just take far fewer threes, and I think

460
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: Simony Fontecio did a pretty good job against Brandon Ingram.

461
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: The height was there to contest brandon ingram shots all game,

462
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: but it was a long two to try and win

463
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: it when he could have stepped into an elbow elbow two.

464
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: He could have gone way in there or taken the three.

465
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: As you said, there was options there, but it probably

466
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: started early for this. Pelicans seems to just lost two

467
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: straight games to the Jazz. Really strange.

468
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: They got their number for some reason. I thought the

469
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 4: play of the game may have been Fontechio and it's

470
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 4: a weird one here, but there was twenty seconds left,

471
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 4: Jazz are up two. Clarkson he takes a step back

472
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 4: three from the wing. It comes up well short, but

473
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 4: the rebound got like ricocheted to like half court almost

474
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: where two Pelicans were like leaking out. It was Herb

475
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: Jones and then it was Naujie Marshall even more ahead

476
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: of him, and Fintechio hit the floor to sort of

477
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: beat Herb Jones to the ball a little bit to

478
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: at least make the scramble happen. It resulted in a

479
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: foul on the Jazz, but I actually think it saved

480
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 4: a fast break that the Pelicans were gonna get there

481
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 4: if Herb Jones gets to that and Fontechio doesn't hit

482
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 4: the floor and mix it up a little bit, I

483
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 4: think that ball is easily thrown ahead to Marshall and

484
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 4: it's a layup and they're tied. But a hell of

485
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: a play and he was pissed off he got called

486
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 4: for a foul, but in the end it didn't hurt

487
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: them because they got to set up their defense and

488
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: then Ingram missed the shot. But it was a big

489
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 4: play from him. He had a good game. He had

490
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: fourteen points.

491
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: He's contributing and another guy at fourteen points. The ownest

492
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: foul in Tunis, I thought was it wasn't big enough.

493
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: Omer Yur at seven former Miami. He played valentun Is

494
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: pretty well in the middle, and you know he started

495
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: for them. Walker Kesler came off the bench, who had

496
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: some you know, some block shots for them. They're they're

497
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: trying to figure that out as well. So they're they're

498
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: going vets a little bit more so than than their

499
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: young guys. But yeah, shout out to the young guy

500
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 3: guy who just turned twenty Cann'te George, very young guy.

501
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: He looks he looks like he's sixteen years old. Baby

502
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: baby face. The other games last night, Jeremy Grant leading

503
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: the Blazers to the one fourteen victory over the Pacers.

504
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: Indiana played very poorly twenty turnovers. They shot eight for

505
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 4: thirty three from deep. That was sort of a theme

506
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: from last night. One team really struggling with their three

507
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 4: point shot, but Broggeden He iced the game with a

508
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: timely jumper there in the final seconds. But I thought Grant.

509
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean, we had this one on playback and Grant

510
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: had had a part of that game late where he

511
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: just completely took over. He was hitting tough, fadeaway jumpers

512
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 4: in the lane. He was hitting threes, and the Blazers

513
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 4: they looked a little scrappy. I gotta be honest, I

514
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: was pretty impressed with how they at least sort of

515
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 4: competed in this and they got a much needed victory.

516
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on this one.

517
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: I know you're a Pacers fan. Yeah, it must have

518
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: been a little tough watching a guy like Jeremy Grant,

519
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 3: who we wondered, is this a good contract because he

520
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: isn't a number one guy, but you're sort of paying

521
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm like a number one guy because they're they're deciding

522
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: to take a little step back. But at the same time,

523
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 3: with this team, and especially with Malcolm Brogden coming back

524
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: and being healthy, this team got that losing streak going

525
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: because they didn't have Malcolm Brogden in this lineup, and

526
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: so Malcolm Brockden back having a nice twenty four point

527
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: night game along with Jeremy Grant, who was going up

528
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: against Obi Topp and just going up against this team

529
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: that just plays poor defense and is not great at

530
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 3: that position. Yeah, had his way in this game, and

531
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: then the Pacers couldn't hit threes, which is what they do.

532
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: But I think a big reason why the Blazers, I

533
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: do like the fact that their front office is kind

534
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: of going for it. They give Grant that big contract,

535
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 3: they have DeAndre Ayton playing center, they have Malcolm Brogden

536
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 3: as their starting point guard. But I think every big

537
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 3: reason why they're started four and twelve this season now

538
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: at five and twelve, it was because Malcolm Brogden missed

539
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 3: so many games and we're gonna figure out the School

540
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 3: Henderson thing. But I just like how they're going for

541
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: it and Brogden being in there. Brog doog that was

542
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 3: monstrous for me watching this game.

543
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: Well, every one of these good Brogden games, maybe even

544
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: good Jeremy Grant games, just maybe helps their trade value too.

545
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: If they do pivot. I know, you maybe disagree with that,

546
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 4: but I feel like Brogden especially, there should be so

547
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 4: many teams that are looking at him, like, oh yeah,

548
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 4: he probably could be acquired from the Blazers as the

549
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: season goes on, and he could really shore up our

550
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: second unit. And obviously it's been in a lot of

551
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: big playoff games and stuff like that. Rick Carlo after

552
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 4: the game said, getting up for the N season tournament

553
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: games and thinking that we can walk out and just

554
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: beat other teams as ignorant. That was an interesting line.

555
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 4: He's talking about, like, you know, Pacers maybe more than

556
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 4: any other team. It feels like I've talked about like

557
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: these N Season tournament games. Halliburton's calling them playoff like games,

558
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 4: and they won all of them. They went four and oh,

559
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: it's the final night of the IST group play tonight.

560
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: But then yeah, these other games, you know, like he says,

561
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: maybe we just thought we could come in it. Did

562
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 4: They did play like they thought, like our offense is

563
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 4: so good, you know, we'll just turn it on for

564
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 4: a six minute stretch and will win this game. And

565
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 4: they and you know, they sort of got close, but

566
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 4: it bit them in the ass and they played very poorly.

567
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 4: Twenty turnovers, in that three point shooting. I mean, you're

568
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: you're at a disadvantage right there.

569
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are wild numbers to see the Pacers miss

570
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: that many threes. Yeah, they had a poor night from

571
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: that side, But I agree, I didn't feel like they

572
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: tried hard. Yeah, in this game, which happens from time

573
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 3: to time with this Pacers team just because of their chemistry,

574
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: bought Myles Turner tried to win it in the end,

575
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: and it did feel like we were going Curtains Halliburton

576
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 3: with a game winning shot at some point. It felt

577
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: like they got it going. But this Blazer's team that

578
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: they've assembled Joe cron has assembled, I like the look

579
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: of it. Obviously, Malcolm Brodnen going against his own team,

580
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 3: his old team, I should say, and feeling healthy is

581
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 3: much different. I do agree, though. Yeah, teams are gonna

582
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 3: be looking for brog Dog. Yeah, why the heck not.

583
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: He could be a starting guard in this in this game,

584
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: That's why the Celtics tried to get him to help

585
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 3: them win their championship. But the worrisome part is that

586
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: he gets He gets hurt a lot.

587
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the final game last night. Can I clarify you

588
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: don't have a peanut allergy of course, of course not

589
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 4: you know me, Well, yeah, that's true.

590
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Reese's peanut butter all day a lot.

591
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, because we had a nut dust showdown. It was

592
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 4: the Wizards Pistons, and the Wizards ended their nine game

593
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: losing streak running away in the end with a victory

594
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: over Detroit, and the Pistons have lost fourteen straight, and

595
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: Monty Williams saying after the game in a very brief

596
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: postgame press conference, there wasn't any fight on that floor,

597
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: and COO's coming through for the Zards. So I got

598
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: the big victory in the battle of the worst teams

599
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: there in the Eastern Conference, and tasks now in last

600
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 4: place with Detroit and I don't know when they're gonna

601
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: win their next one. It doesn't look great.

602
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like I shall be eating dust.

603
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: The fact that you got folded into this bet between

604
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: me and Trey, you had nothing to do with it.

605
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trey's got the Hornets and I've got these nutty Pistons.

606
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: Although it feels like they're trying hard. Yeah, sure, but

607
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: Monie Williams said, hey, we should try harder. Yeah, you know,

608
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: they tried to make some highlights in this game sort of.

609
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: I thought this was an incredibly fun game to watch.

610
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, there's just so many weird things happening,

611
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: especially Jordan Poole. Jordan Poole floored Kate Cunningham, who was

612
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: guarding him. That's that's the wild thing. He floored me.

613
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: He took him into the paint, and Kate Cunningham just

614
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: flew in to the baseline. He was God. And somehow,

615
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: as Jordan Poole is just standing just outside the key,

616
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: decides to I'm not sure what to do with such

617
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: a such an opening. I'm just gonna take a step

618
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: in and a star Thompson said, okay, I'm gonna blocker shot.

619
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: That was That was the strangest turn. Why didn't Jordan

620
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: Poole just floated and I guess he didn't see a

621
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: start Thompson, who block shots really well, Who's doing his thing?

622
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: But so much fun, so much fun with Jordan Poole

623
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: getting called for a foul a little bit later, which

624
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: he did not deserve, and he was getting into the

625
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: referees face. I think it was Bill Kennedy getting into

626
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: Bill Kennedy's face, and he was saying call it, call it,

627
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: call it. You could read his lips call it, call it,

628
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: call it. He wanted a technical foul, calling him technical

629
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: foul on you, sir, you wanted it real bad. And

630
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: then you can see his mouth and he goes, I

631
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: hate that referee. The most.

632
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 4: Hilarious.

633
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: This game was just too a guy you said. There

634
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 3: were lots of talks about guy's not working hard. Kyle

635
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: Kuzma's game was on fire in this one. He just

636
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 3: win at the Pistons.

637
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: I think the Pistons should trade for Kyle Kuzma. I

638
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 4: think he loves playing in Detroit. I mean he's a

639
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 4: Michigan guy. I think he was doing stuff in Flint

640
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 4: and helping out the community, like earlier in the day

641
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 4: or at least on this trip, and he balls out.

642
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: He talks about he's like he loves playing in front

643
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 4: of his family. But yeah, he played very hard. He

644
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: nearly had a triple double. Kuzma thirty two points, twelve boards,

645
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 4: eight assists and got to the line a ton ten

646
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: to twenty three overall from the floor, two for seven

647
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: from deep, so not the most efficient shooting game, but

648
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 4: a plus eighteen when he was out there, which basically

649
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: led the team. Coulibali their rookie plus nineteen, but in

650
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: limited minutes. But he loves playing in Detroit. He could

651
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 4: maybe help them get a victory.

652
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: He does. He had a huge third quarter. They were

653
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: going to him. He just thought he was bigger than

654
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: everybody on the pistons. Then he was. He just took

655
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: it to the hole and took it to the paint.

656
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: But yes, shout out to him. As Kuzma donated sixty

657
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: K and closed to email inmates in Flint, miss So

658
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: shout out to him.

659
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: All Right, that's the games last night. Again, not the

660
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: most fascinating night in the NBA, but it happens, and

661
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: tonight it's in season, tournament time, and we'll talk a

662
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: little bit about that right after the break. Don't go anywhere.

663
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: Despite the lackluster night in the NBA, A lot of

664
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 4: you still coming out to the Classic Factory to the

665

Speaker 4: live stream. We appreciate it. Hit that like button and

666
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 4: make sure you subscribe. Let's get into is this news.

667
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 4: I have some headlines for you tasks, Yeah, and for

668
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 4: everybody watching and listening, and we're going to debate whether

669
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 4: or not they're newsworthy or how they're newsworthy. First one

670
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 4: is from CBS Sports. LaMelo Ball listed as doubtful for

671
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: the knixt game tonight due to a right ankle injury.

672
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 4: We didn't really talk about this on yesterday's show as

673
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: you know, a winner or probably for this a loser.

674
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: But he did leave over the weekend with a pretty

675
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: bad look ankle twist and they're calling it a strain.

676
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 4: But is this news here, LaMelo doubtful for tonight?

677
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: You might doubt me, but it's good news. I would

678
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: say that he's doubtful for just this one particular game

679
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: because it looked like such a bad twist against the

680
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 3: Orlando Magic that I was watching the Magic plane so hard.

681
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 3: It looked like LaMelo Ball could be out for a

682
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: long time. But the X rays word negative. So this

683
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: one particular game, Yeah, it's bad news that he's missing

684
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: this N Season tournament game against the Knicks, for sure,

685
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: because it is an important game in this N Season tournament.

686
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: I will say, I wonder if the teams play really

687
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: hard in this N Season tournament, then they you know,

688
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 3: they have games off like we just talked about on

689
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 3: Monday nights. Yeah, we've got things to do.

690
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 4: I sort of wonder that too. I wonder what happens

691
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 4: after this whole thing is done the ist which has

692
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: been a success at least to us. It's maybe these

693
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: games a little more enjoyable. There's some juice to them tonight,

694
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 4: and we'll go through it here in a second, but like, yeah,

695
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 4: what happens after it's done? You know, it's just back

696
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: to old regular season basketball and take away the courts

697
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 4: and all that. And it's like, will they I don't know,

698
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 4: will there be a lull until I guess maybe the

699
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: Christmas games and stuff like that, And doesn't matter because

700
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: people will say, well, there was always a lull anyway exactly.

701
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: I think there we're just going to see the same

702
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: thing again next year because I don't think that the

703
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 3: floors are much of a problem. Although we talked about

704
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: guys saying they're slipping on the Jalen Brown, Luka, Doncic

705
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 3: precious that you have all said that they slipped on

706
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: the court, But that is kind of being swept under

707
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 3: the rug. So the floors are okay. There's stuff to

708
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: be talked about in November when people still say the

709
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: actual season starts on Christmas anyways, So I think it's fine.

710
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: I can't wait till next week when this tournament actually

711
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 3: does happen. Is it next week? No, it's two weeks

712
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 3: where we will get quarter finals, semi finals, and finals

713
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 3: and some breaks actually in the regular season where there's

714
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: a couple nothing nights happening on the Sundays. So yeah,

715
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to that. I think they're fine. But

716
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: as far as LaMelo Ball, those injuries are freaking important.

717
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: The fact that he doesn't have a long term one

718
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: like he has had in the past. Hopefully that doesn't happen.

719
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: But we're getting guys back. If LaMelo Ball comes back soon,

720
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 3: Kelly Ubrey could be back soon, Jamal Murray could be

721
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: back soon. So all good news, I would say. I

722
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't say that this is bad news after watching that

723
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: Orlando Magic Hammer of the Hornets. Terry Rozier tried to

724
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: come in and do things. But LaMelo Ball I thought

725
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: was going to be out long term because he has

726
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: been in the past. But it's good news that he's not.

727
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, on the surface, you're right. Ankle injury happens a

728
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 4: lot of the times. It's not usually too much concern,

729
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: but it is the same ankle that Ball had surgery

730
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: on last season that was season ending and kept him

731
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: out for a big chunk of it. You know, that

732
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 4: is where everybody was like, uh oh, not again, because

733
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: this team goes as LaMelo goes. He had been on

734
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: a tear recently too. LaMelo Ball was averaging thirty two points,

735
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 4: nine assists, and seven boards in the nine games leading

736
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: up to that Sunday game, and he was making forty

737
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 4: four percent of his ten to three point attempts per game.

738
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 4: That's like Curry like numbers right there. So that sucks.

739
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 4: And hopefully, though, like you said, this is he's out

740
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 4: for tonight. He missed another game or two, but then

741
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 4: he's back and this is not another thing where there's

742
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 4: a fracture and oh my god, he's got to have

743
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 4: another season ending surgery on that same.

744
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 3: A Like you said, that would suck. He looks great,

745
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 3: but he's.

746
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 4: Doubtful for tonight, which Knicks fans are probably pretty happy about, yeah,

747
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: because they play in season tournament game, and you know

748
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 4: the Knicks, they need to win. They need to win

749
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 4: to really help their chances to be that wild card

750
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 4: team there in the Eastern Conference. I'm not going to

751
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: go through every single scenario here with all these games.

752
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: But John Hollinger at the Athletic he just put this

753
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: the best, most eccinct way possible. Okay, two teams have clinched,

754
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: Lakers and Pacers. Two teams are very likely to advance,

755
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 4: the Suns and the Bucks. Two teams that are done.

756
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 4: They don't even play tonight, but they are sweating out

757
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 4: the result. The Pelicans and the Magic, especially the Pelicans.

758
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 4: If the Rockets beat the mass tonight, the Pelicans are out.

759
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 4: If the Rockets can't beat the MAVs, the Pelicans are in.

760
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: The Magic A lot more has to happen for them

761
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 4: to get bounced, but it's possible anyway. Four teams need

762
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 4: to win, the Knicks, the Nets, the Kings, and the Rockets.

763
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: Like I said, five teams need to win, and they

764
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: need a bunch of help. Right in terms of other

765
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 4: results or point differentials, we're talking the Calves, the Celtics

766
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 4: to heat, the Warriors and the Wolves. And then three

767
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 4: teams they need a goddamn miracle, the Hornets, the Hawks

768
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: and the Sixers. Those three teams are somehow still alive,

769
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 4: but they need the most insane things to happen, like

770
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: they need like they need like five other teams to

771
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: lose and then then to be second and have this

772
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 4: point differential. So it's like, yeah, you basically can write

773
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: those two.

774
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: Though that was hard to read.

775
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: There's some crazy breakdowns. Yeah, but yeah, like the first stuff,

776
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 4: there is the most important sort of those first sort

777
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: of four tiers that Holling are laid out, those are

778
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 4: likely going to be your teams. Like, you know, I

779
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 4: think the Kings are gonna be in here after the

780
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 4: I think the Kings beat the Warriors tonight. I'll go

781
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 4: on the record and say that I think the I'm

782
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 4: not sure what this Rockets mass game is Luca playing. Yeah,

783
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 4: sounds like he might be, which you know hurts the

784
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 4: Rockets chances. But that's a big one. So there's a

785
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 4: couple couple of big games. And watch the point differentials

786
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 4: in these ones too. When you get into the fourth quarter.

787
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 4: If the team's up, they're gonna keep running it up

788
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 4: if they have a chance to obviously be a wild

789
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: card team or to win a group stuff like that.

790
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 3: Shout out to John Hollinger for breaking it down.

791
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 4: True sicko shit.

792
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I know you're calling yourself sicko skeets.

793
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's levels to the CIA.

794
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're playing it. You're playing this game, and so

795
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: is Johnny Holly, no doubt about it. That is hard.

796
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: I will say Tarot's here has a huge game against

797
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 3: the Knicks tonight.

798
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 4: No okay, yeah, he just came back right.

799
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he looked good against the Magic. I think

800
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: the Knick's gotta be worried. Maybe they're gonna throw QG

801
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: on their little grimes on him because he's gonna ball.

802
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: The big one is the Heat Bucks game tonight. That's

803
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 4: a big one in terms of winning that group point

804
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: differential in play obviously, so if the Heat beat Milwaukee,

805
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 4: it makes things a lot more confusing. So that's another

806
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 4: one to watch. I just came to the realization I

807
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: said this on the Saturday podcast, like we have to

808
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 4: play our part. We have to help promote this, explain

809
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 4: it to people, don't we I guess, but we should.

810
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: We should also be invited to Las Vegas.

811
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: Well, Jesus, we should have got one of the care packages.

812
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 4: At the very least you weren't here when we were

813
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 4: talking about that. Yeah, I don't know some of these

814
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 4: NBA media personalities, influencers whatever important people they got this

815
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 4: sick like in season tournament, Like was it Hennessy maybe

816
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: or something like that. It was like a cool like glasses. Yeah,

817
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 4: bo looked awesome. I think Chase Ronald got one. I

818
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: haven't heard him talk about the in season tournament once. Yeah,

819
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 4: this is all I do about this thing. I can't

820
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 4: shut up talking about the Come on, I just want

821
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 4: some Hennessy is good.

822
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: I think I might have some over there that some

823
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: of the money.

824
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: I can see it on the bar. Listen alcohol great,

825
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: going to Vegas better. We would like the invitation at

826
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: least one to three of us, four of us by us.

827
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 3: There's there's lots who work in our group. Actually it's

828
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 3: a small group, but we work hard. We talk about

829
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 3: it a lot, and it has been a good tournament.

830
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 3: It really has been a good tournament because floors look great.

831
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: We've been into it. We have absolutely been into it.

832
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 3: And I think it's smart getting fans into games prior

833
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: to Christmas. I think it is. That is exactly the point,

834
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 3: and the exact other point, get paid, get some money,

835
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: get some money from sponsors. Right, So which is going

836
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 3: to happen?

837
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 4: This is going to buy this or Amazon's going to

838
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 4: buy this?

839
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 3: Is gonna say, I will, I will contribute to it.

840
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: Something's going to happen when when Silver and the company

841
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 3: decide we're going to negotiate. Here, you guys want to

842
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: get in on this N season tournament deal next year

843
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 3: because he's negotiating the the TV deal which begins in March,

844
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: the negotiations. So yeah, it's all good.

845
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 4: Hey, I have no complaints with us actually getting excited

846
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 4: about some like must win games late November tonight, there's

847
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: like three games that are like really of importance for

848
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: teams to like move on to the quarterfinals and stuff

849
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 4: like that. Like how could Rockets fans who have had

850
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 4: a shitty team for years now running. I assume they're

851
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: pretty pumped about the chances to even just go to

852
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 4: the quarterfinals, like with a win tonight. It's pretty cool.

853
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 3: Oh, they're all talking about it.

854
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, exactly. It seems to be working. So anyway,

855
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 4: let's just yeah, let's get to Vegas and it's and

856
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 4: let's at least get some hennessy. All right, it was

857
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 4: a sad boy there, all right. Next headline from ESPN,

858
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 4: Draymond Green says he doesn't regret the incident with Rudy Gobert.

859
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 4: Is this news?

860
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: No, No, I would say it's not news because I

861
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 3: read that article a couple times first, and at the

862
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: time I read it, I didn't think there was much

863
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 3: to be made of And then we had this plugged

864
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: into our show here as a potential news item. No,

865
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 3: I wasn't swayed. Again. I thought maybe I was being

866
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: biased the first time I read it. Now because I'll

867
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 3: go through it. Okay, maybe this first thing that he said,

868
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 3: you think, Okay, this is a positive. I don't live

869
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: my life with regrets. What matters to me is how

870
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: the people that I care about feel first and foremost.

871
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 3: How are the people that I care about affected? How

872
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 3: are the people I care about? What do they have

873
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: to deal with? That's it for me. Okay, fine, But

874
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 3: what he really should say is I shouldn't have choked

875
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: a guy. That's what it comes down to. He's old school,

876
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: and I get it. That's how we played high school.

877
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 3: We would go for each other's but when we got

878
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: hit right like, we would go there. But we're going

879
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 3: for butts at our high school. There's no doubt about that.

880
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 5: No, we go protect our our teammates, but come to

881
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 5: your teammates defense, and this is what all that is

882
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 5: what he's saying.

883
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: He said, I'm always going to be there for my teammates.

884
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 3: That's who I am. That's who I am as a teammate.

885
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: That's who I am as a friend, right, wrong or indifferent,

886
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 3: look to your side and I'll be there or even

887
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 3: in front of you. That's our high school However, however

888
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 3: he said this, but it's saying that there's always a

889
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 3: better way that something can be done. So it's figuring

890
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: out a better way. That's the consensus among all of us.

891
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 4: So he says, yeah, no, that shit, man, you can

892
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: come to your teammates defense. Ye, but maybe stop choking

893
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 4: the guy. Yes, after four seconds, you know, maybe cut

894
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 4: it off at two and you've pulled them away.

895
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 3: Yes, that's all you had to say. Yeah, that's all

896
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 3: he had to say was Adam's apple should have been safe.

897
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have just gone and got Rudy Gobert's neck.

898
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 3: That's that's all he should have said. But he doesn't

899
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 3: like Rudy Gobert, and he does play the game old school.

900
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 3: This is a little eighties ball. This, this is the

901
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 3: Detroit Crew. This is who it is. It just feels

902
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: like old basketball. Tremont Green grew up in freaking Detroit.

903
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: He wants to play like the Detroit the Bad Boys Pistons.

904
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 3: That's what he wants, and I get that. But we

905
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 3: are changing as a basketball league and as fans, right,

906
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: but he's not gonna change.

907
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 4: He was never gonna like apologize.

908
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 3: That's all he needed to do, just as I started

909
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 3: sorry to like again. Klay Thompson was also grabbed by

910
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert, who was trying to He's trying to put

911
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 3: up the flames. But he didn't get mad because Rudy

912
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 3: Gobert didn't grab his throat. Rudy Gobert just tried to

913
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 3: get Klay Thompson away from things. Klay Thompson's just a

914
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: straight up bro. He did not say anything about Rudy

915
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: Gobert postgame or in any situation, in any interview. He's

916
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 3: a straight up person. He would have is what I'm

917
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 3: trying to say if there were was a problem, but

918
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 3: there wasn't.

919
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 4: And I don't even mean Draymond should have apologized to

920
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert because you know that's never gonna happen. And Okay,

921
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 4: whatever they hate each other Great, it's spicy, but he

922
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 4: maybe should have apologized to his own team. I mean,

923
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 4: he did miss five games. His team did not look

924
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 4: good in those games that he did not play, because

925
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 4: he's very important to their defense and obviously moving the

926
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 4: ball and stuff like that. But yeah, this isn't I'm

927
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 4: with you, not really all that newsworthy. He did say

928
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 4: to Uh. He brought up this idea that like the

929
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 4: league does penalize him harsher than other people, and he

930
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 4: like he says to continue mentioning, Oh, well, he did

931
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 4: this in the past. I paid for those That's what

932
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 4: Green told reporters. I got suspended in Game five of

933
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals. You can't keep suspending me for those actions.

934
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 4: End quote. So he keeps saying that all of this

935
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: is coming back from these previous incidents, which I mean

936
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 4: the counter to that is, okay, man, then just stop

937
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 4: doing it and giving them a chance to obviously suspend

938
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 4: you or kick you out of games because you keep

939
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 4: doing it. That's the point, So just stop doing it. Yeah,

940
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: there's a pattern here.

941
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that Game five suspension in the twenty sixteen

942
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: finals came because he had so many flagrant fouls that

943
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: he absorbed over the first three rounds, right, which is strange.

944
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 3: They should have suspended him earlier. He didn't know that.

945
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: What was I doing? Literally it's almost a month and

946
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: a half of flagrant files where he was going hard

947
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: against his opponents. And the other thing is.

948
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 4: And some of those were just so pointless. Remember that

949
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 4: one who already chucked down, he ripped, he ripped down

950
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 4: the ground. It was like the end of the game

951
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 4: situation in one of those playoff gas. I forget who

952
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: it was.

953
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 3: I feel like it was the rockets there.

954
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and it was like it was there's no

955
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 4: need for it. Yeah, And you know that was what

956
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 4: then accumulated to eventually him getting suspended for a game five.

957
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 3: Yes, there was just an accumulation. And the other thing

958
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 3: is here back to back seasons, is when he disrupted

959
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: his own dressing room by punching Jordan Pole. So why

960
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: not say something about that when being interviewed about that,

961
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: because it is weeks or a week later here where

962
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 3: he's being asked about it. And it's good that he

963
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 3: talked because I thought he would just talk on his

964
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 3: podcast about it, but apparently not, he was asked about it.

965
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 3: He should just make a note here last year, we

966
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 3: did not have any chemistry, as he said, because Jordan

967
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: Poole was punched. That's why they traded Jordan Poole because

968
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 3: they wanted to move on from that relationship. But he

969
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: could just say it, and I do like how after

970
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: the choke Steve Kerr did say something about it that

971
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 3: it's unacceptable, and it is in this article as well,

972
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 3: that it is unacceptable for him to do what he did.

973
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 3: It ain't cool to grab guys by the Adams Apple.

974
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, next one here from the athletic I

975
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 4: believe Joe Verden, Lebron James, and NBA coaches say the

976
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 4: league should look into raised cabs floor. Now let me

977
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 4: explain this one. Yeah, just briefly. Here last week heat

978
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 4: guard Drew Smith, he suffered a season ending severe ACL

979
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 4: sprain while falling off the edge of that raised floor

980
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 4: in Cleveland. It's one of these rare floors in the NBA,

981
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: at least where it's I think it's something like ten

982
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 4: inches sort of, so like you're sitting on the bench

983
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 4: there or you're sitting courtside, your feet are actually can

984
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 4: be below the floor. But here's the clip and Smith

985
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 4: is attempting to close out on Max Strew's there on

986
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 4: a corner three point ten. His momentum takes him into

987
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: the Cleveland bench area, and it looks like he just

988
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 4: slips on a piece of paper, right, and then sort

989
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 4: of his legs sort of carries him off the floor there,

990
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 4: and you know, his right knee twists pretty damn awkwardly

991
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 4: and hence the season ending injury. Oh don't like watching

992
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 4: that one. But is this news the actual raised floor

993
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 4: part here tests.

994
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 3: I got so many questions with this one. I'm not

995
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 3: one hundred percent sure this is news being this is

996
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 3: probably the first injury that's happened in Cleveland because of

997
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 3: that floor.

998
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: I think so, yes.

999
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 3: And it happened because of the sheet of paper because

1000
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: an assistant had a breakdown from the first quarter, second quarter,

1001
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 3: whatever it was. It looked like a box score from

1002
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: earlier in the game that he's got in between his legs,

1003
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 3: and Drew Smith unfortunately steps on it and goes over

1004
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: the floor to the edge of the floor, which wouldn't

1005
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 3: have happened if the sheet of paper wasn't there.

1006
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 4: Probably not, Probably not. Yeah, I guess it's still possible

1007
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: that he slips off the edge there. But right, you're right,

1008
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 4: it's unlikely.

1009
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 3: It looks like it looks like an NC Double A

1010
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 3: Final four floor. That's right where you've got the bench

1011
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 3: beyond the edge of the floor. And it hasn't happened

1012
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 3: there where a player has been injured really in the

1013
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 3: same way.

1014
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 4: And maybe those courts, those NC Double A Final four courts,

1015
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: they're they're significantly raised because they're usually in like like

1016
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: football arenas, right, those are like I feel like those

1017
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 4: are like three feet high and stuff like that, and

1018
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 4: the court area like outside of the actual inbounds is

1019
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 4: like feels so much larger. It would be very difficult.

1020
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 4: Maybe somebody in the stream team correct us we're wrong.

1021
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 4: Has somebody as a college kid or guy or girl

1022
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 4: got injured flying off of that? I don't know. I

1023
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 4: don't think so either.

1024
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 3: But I had written I had read this prior to

1025
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: seeing the Drew Smith injury, and I thought myself, Okay,

1026
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 3: Lebron played there for years, Right, it wasn't an incident.

1027
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 3: Then there wasn't an incident. There wasn't an issue. It

1028
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 3: wasn't a problem because unlike the NCAA tournaments, where there's

1029
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 3: a bit of space after the end of the floor

1030
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 3: that you don't have an entire bench, including assistant coaches

1031
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 3: that are on the floor. That assistant coach that he

1032
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 3: went through was on the floor, but he went through

1033
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 3: his legs and somehow got his leg to a position

1034
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 3: where he was off the floor. So I just don't

1035
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: think Lebron didn't bring it up for years and years

1036
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 3: in no.

1037
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 4: No, And he's asked about it here by Joe Varden

1038
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 4: because the Lakers were coming to town back to Cleveland

1039
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 4: after that, So yeah, and he's just asked about it,

1040
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 4: and he just gives your class sic like they all

1041
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 4: seem to give like the classic like, yeah, I guess

1042
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 4: the guy got injured. We should look into it, you

1043
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: know what I mean. But the counter is they've played there,

1044
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 4: We've played on this type of court for how long

1045
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 4: have they had this race floor? Like thirty years?

1046
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 3: I don't know, yes, a lot.

1047
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 4: And so it's like if this is the first time,

1048
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 4: like do we really need to look into it, Maybe

1049
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 4: we get rid of the pieces of paper, Like do

1050
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 4: we need to be printing out the first quarter stats?

1051
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 4: Does anybody look at the They barely look at them.

1052
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 4: They should all be on their watch, should just pop

1053
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 4: up on their watch, scroll in their watch. Okay, cool,

1054
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 4: he's got eight points, because that's what that's the unfortunate

1055
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 4: part here, And I'm not even like blaming that assistant code.

1056
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 4: Like the paper was between his legs under his chair

1057
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 4: and then it just Drew Smith, like his momentum takes

1058
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 4: them so far that then that took him off when

1059
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 4: he slipped on the paper took him off. But yeah,

1060
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 4: crazy play when you see the clip.

1061
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 3: And I guess as we go back into into the

1062
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 3: Cavs days we had Lebron court side would sit with

1063
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 3: his seat sort of it felt like, oh no, I

1064
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,720
Speaker 3: was it against that would I remember the security guard

1065
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 3: always holding Lebron's seat. It was like he'd come back

1066
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 3: to his king seat. Yeah, he'd come back to the

1067
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 3: throat and the security guard would always be holding his

1068
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: seat for him, just because.

1069
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 4: For when he gets off the raised floor to step

1070
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 4: onto it.

1071
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 3: I forget where it was if it was just off

1072
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 3: the floor. I just remember him holding it there so

1073
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 3: his butt didn't slide or whatever they had happened. That

1074
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 3: is the most interesting part of it. I've it's unfortunate

1075
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 3: for Drew Smith. I mean, what is the answer, what

1076
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 3: is the answer having the floor wider.

1077
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, so probably if it's got to be raised.

1078
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 4: And this is raised because you know, I guess they

1079
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 4: have the the ice hockey under it and the way

1080
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 4: they've designed it. Not that they're the only arena that

1081
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 4: has but anyway, Yeah, I think you're right. It's it's

1082
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 4: like those NCAA Final four floors where it's just there's

1083
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 4: so much more corked. But they ain't gonna do that

1084
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 4: because that's a thousand dollars seat, thousand dollars seat, thousand

1085
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 4: dollars seats. Yeah, I do think this. I mean, you

1086
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 4: see the club. It sucks, but I don't think it's

1087
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 4: really because of the raised floor. I think it was

1088
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: unfortunate just where that piece of paper was.

1089
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 3: Really Yeah, I got to go back into my uh

1090
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 3: my own videos of where Lebron's seat was. I think

1091
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 3: I find it. I think I just because mind it. Yes,

1092
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: you remember that wrap year old man, We're that thing

1093
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 3: was great. Come on, that was a great as it

1094
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: was better again, six seconds is what it was. Yes,

1095
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 3: TikTok was fine, but it's just it's just it was

1096
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: before it's time. We're talking about drones. Drones used to

1097
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 3: be bad or the drones operators used to be bad.

1098
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 3: Now they're good. Now TikTok has taken over Vine.

1099
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 4: But is Vine dead?

1100
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 3: Like?

1101
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 4: Can you even vine anymore?

1102
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 2: You know?

1103
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 4: You can still tumble?

1104
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

1105
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 4: I always get an email from Tumblr. It's still going on.

1106
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 2: How old is your Tumblr now?

1107
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 4: I don't know? But can you vine? Is Vine's gone? Ghost?

1108
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 4: Gone on?

1109
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: HQ trivia guys, they they went on they were the

1110
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: Vine guys and then they.

1111
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, that's right, HQ Trivia. It was great. The

1112
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 3: Vine guy was Lebron James. Ronasron James made a great

1113
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 3: I think Lebron James's seat may have been sort of

1114
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: dangerous in terms of falling off the wood floor now

1115
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 3: that I see this, that's why the security guard was

1116
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 3: so he didn't fall off the floor. I'm totally.

1117
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 4: But the seats are off the floor.

1118
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 3: Those chairs in the chairs, yeah.

1119
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 4: Like the bench.

1120
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1121
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 4: That's what we've talked way too long. Yes, just get

1122
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: rid of printing out those stat sheets, right, that is

1123
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 4: killing trees man.

1124
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

1125
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 4: Final one here from NBA dot Com. FOBA holds draw

1126
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,439
Speaker 4: for the final four spots in the Paris Olympics cast.

1127
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 3: Is this news, Oh, it's news. This is good news

1128
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 3: for Greece. And I know it looks poor for Greece

1129
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: because they're in a group with Lucas, Slovenia and Cats

1130
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: Dominican Republic.

1131
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 4: They're all in a single group.

1132
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 3: They're all in a single group. However, the games will

1133
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 3: be played in Greece. We'll be played in beat ass

1134
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,280
Speaker 3: in Greece. Not a problem. Yannis will take care of things.

1135
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 3: He's gonna beat Luca, He's gonna beat Cat. He's putting

1136
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 3: Greece in the Olympics. He's gonna be with it. Although

1137
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 3: we watched Greece last year in the World Cup, it

1138
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 3: wasn't great. No, it's not not in the World Cup.

1139
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 3: In leading up to the World Cup. Yeah, no, Johannis

1140
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 3: in that one. I think even though this is July

1141
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 3: and the Bucks hoped to be good and could go

1142
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 3: into June, and this could lead into him playing in

1143
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 3: July and then going into France. That's a long summer

1144
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 3: for Google. But he loves playing for his Greek national teams.

1145
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 3: So alas, they're gonna be fine. I think they're going

1146
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 3: to be good. That's a tough group. Slovenia then New Zealand,

1147
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: Croatia as well another tough spot Egypt, Greece and the

1148
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 3: Dominican Republic. Only one team makes it from those.

1149
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, let's just clarify that. So eight eight spots

1150
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 4: in the Olympics, they are already accounted for. France as

1151
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 4: the host nation there they get one of them, and

1152
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 4: then uh, you know, seven of them qualified in the

1153
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 4: World Cup that we were you know, watching a lot

1154
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 4: in what September was that August and September. Yeah, so

1155
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 4: there's only four spots because it's only twelve teams in

1156
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 4: the Paris Olympics. So the format here for these qualifying

1157
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 4: events it's really simple. Actually, it's four tournaments. It's hosted

1158
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 4: by Spain, by Greece, by Latvia and Puerto Rico early

1159
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 4: July July second to the seventh and six teams in

1160
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 4: each tournament and the winner takes all, you got, like

1161
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 4: that's it. You know, they do some group play and

1162
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,479
Speaker 4: they're like tiny little groups, and then it's winner takes

1163
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 4: all for that actual spot in the Paris Olympics. So yeah, Greece,

1164
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 4: Slovenia dr in one group that means only that means

1165
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 4: maximum maluca or a Jannis or Karl Anthony Towns will

1166
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 4: be in Paris. And then you've got the Bahamas. They're

1167
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 4: slotted with Finland and Spain. You've got a group with Lithuania, Italy,

1168
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 4: Puerto Rico. They're in a pool. So these could be fun, little,

1169
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 4: fun little tournaments here. Big question is, yeah, what NBA

1170
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 4: guys are playing for their representative representative nations.

1171
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 3: I'm a sickoh right here, I'm already getting into this tournament.

1172
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Bahamas where Eric Gordon and DeAndre Ayton

1173
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 3: were bawling for them. They look great, but they're in

1174
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 3: a group in Spain where Spain unfortunately, even though they're

1175
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 3: such a great basketball team, have problems qualifying there. So

1176
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 3: them Bahamas and they've got lowry market In's Finland. Finland team.

1177
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 3: That's difficult, difficult group. But keep on going down. We've

1178
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 3: got four good tournaments with good teams trying to get in.

1179
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 4: It's crazy all these nations trying to make the Paris

1180
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 4: Olympics just to play for silver. A team Canada winning.

1181
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 3: Gold, Adam.

1182
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 4: The teams are, by the way that are in the Olympics, France, USA,

1183
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 4: you got your World Cup champion, Germany, Canada, Japan, South Sedan,

1184
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 4: Serbia and Australia. They all qualified based on that World

1185
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 4: Cup performance. France getting in because they're the hosts. So yeah,

1186
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 4: we'll be excited about this come July. But that's a

1187
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 4: great point about like if you honest in the Bucks

1188
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 4: are playing in the finals, I mean, what dates are

1189
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 4: we talking about that? It's like mid June?

1190
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, it could.

1191
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 4: Go almost start you almost start getting into late June,

1192
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 4: and then if they're there or whatever they do, well, yeah,

1193
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 4: to turn around and then possibly go and try and

1194
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 4: get your team into the Paris Olympics to then play

1195
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 4: in the Paris Olympics.

1196
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 3: Right, it's nuts. Yeah, July second to seventh, that's pretty

1197
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: soon after.

1198
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 4: And then when are the Olympics.

1199
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 3: They're also late July. I think it's like I've seen

1200
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 3: ads for them. I've seen ads for them, and I

1201
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 3: can't remember if it was July or August. It just

1202
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: says one month, It doesn't say it overlaps two months.

1203
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 4: Oh, you're right, it's July twenty July twenty sixth to

1204
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 4: August eleventh.

1205
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess it does overlap to two months anyway.

1206
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 3: But you've got teams if you're a basketball fan. You've

1207
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 3: got teams playing in their home country. Obviously we mentioned

1208
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 3: the Greeks Spain playing at their home country, which will

1209
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. Chris top sports ingus. I

1210
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 3: assume we'll be playing.

1211
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 4: Lasers.

1212
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, why the heck not. And then this one in

1213
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico that you could be Simone Fantikio jumping over

1214
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 3: to Puerto Rico or with the Mexican team, So that

1215
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 3: one I'd rather grease be in that.

1216
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 4: Well, at least you're the host nation, like you said,

1217
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 4: should be amazing crowds. All right, those are our headlines.

1218
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 4: You tell us? Were they newsworthy? We sure made them newsworthy.

1219
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 4: Let's get to tweeted The.

1228
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sure, it looks like it looks like

1229
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 4: a nice signature, I tweeted, I like it. He's got

1230
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 4: a nice penmanship.

1231
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 3: So you're talking about a blue sharpie hitting the card

1232
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 3: and signing, Yeah, that looks like a BN A W.

1233
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1234
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 3: So I think that's Windhurst wind Hurst pronounced wind.

1235
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 4: Hurst host John Horst.

1236
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 3: When he pronounces it, he goes wind Hurst, not Windhorst.

1237
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 3: Just an FYI for everybody out there, which is a

1238
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: cool shot. I would say, I want.

1239
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 4: This card, man, I seriously want this card from Yeah.

1240
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 4: I think it's top Sellen and ginger of the set

1241
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 4: there and signed by him. That's a beauty. Man.

1242
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 3: When did he sign that card?

1243
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 4: I'm not sure? And how much is that? What's that

1244
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 4: going for? Somebody? Fire up, eBay, let us know in

1245
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 4: the in the stream team. Yes, let's have a bid

1246
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 4: to I need to place on that to get that

1247
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 4: hanging up here in the Classic Factory.

1248
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: And it's written on the side to be an authentic Oh.

1249
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's for sure authentic. I mean it's a

1250
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 4: real it's a real it's a real company.

1251
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: Tops authentic signature. I just gotta see. I just want

1252
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 3: to you know, it's funny. I didn't consider this authentic

1253
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 3: for sure, because it looks like there's a card behind

1254
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 3: the windhorse that is kind of ideally and purposely placed

1255
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 3: to the right where it says authentic signature and that

1256
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 3: right side. So I'm not sure is a card. Is

1257
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 3: it looks like that random or is it part of

1258
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 3: the plastics? So is this authentic?

1259
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 4: I think it is. It's real. It's real. Well, we

1260
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 4: can send this in, we can get this graded by

1261
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 4: p S a professional grading service association. It's not public

1262
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 4: service announcement though.

1263
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 3: I think McMahon likes to golf. This could be the PGA.

1264
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 4: Anyway, that's a beauty of a card if you have

1265
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 4: one of those and you don't want to send it

1266
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 4: to us. But to me that that looks like a

1267
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 4: priceless card. Well look, here's the thing we were talking

1268
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 4: about on Playlac last night. What would it take for

1269
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 4: tops Allen and Ginter to reach out to the No

1270
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 4: Dunk Boys. You can get some cards.

1271
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 5: Made nothing, what what do you mean an email? I

1272
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 5: think they would respond because that would be.

1273
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Cool, like collect them all, collect all the no donkeys.

1274

Speaker 4: Hey can signed my jersey. I always have to stop

1281
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 4: myself from signing my real name. Oh yeah, the other

1282
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,680

Speaker 3: days are on each Sunday, right right, for.

1316
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,880

1317
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 4: make up games.

1318
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 3: Well, the reason no so there's no games, nothing, zero zil. Yes, yeah,

1319
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 3: unless I'm mistaken, but I think, I think, I think

1320
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Adam Silver's technique is, let's just not play any games Sunday.

1321
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 3: They're gonna have to talk about the NCA's tournament, which

1322
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 3: is happening on Monday too, starting on Monday Tues. I

1323
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 3: think that's the technique, but anyways, I think it's working. Anyways,

1324
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 3: just wanted to note that. Also wanted to note if

1325
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 3: you want to get us some signatures, can you send

1326
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 3: Alan and Ginter an email? Because I'm too lazy to

1327
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 3: do that. So if you want a signature Alan and Ginter,

1328
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 3: get him on the email. Find their email.

1329
